| 20090241198 | INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT DETERMINATION APPARATUS, CONTENT PROVISION SYSTEM, INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT DETERMINATION METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - An SNS system | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090248882 | Virtual social group management system, virtual social group management method, and computer program - An SNS system is provided with: a user attribute storage unit that stores user attributes for each user; a community attribute storage unit that stores a community grade rank for each community; an access allowance/rejection determination unit that determines whether or not to allow a user to access a community based on the community grade rank of the community and the user attributes of the user; and a community viewing processing unit that executes a process for distributing the content uploaded in the community to the user in the case where the access allowance/rejection determination unit has determined to allow the user to access the social group, and does not execute the process for distributing the content uploaded in the community to the user in the case where the access allowance/rejection determination unit has determined to prohibit the user from accessing the social group. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100223384 | DATA DELIVERY SYSTEM AND DATA DELIVERY METHOD - A data delivery system and method include storing software resources in a central equipment, receiving and storing software resources sent from the central equipment, and communicating with the central equipment, terminal devices and with the intermediate server. The central equipment includes a registration-accepting unit for accepting registration of software resources, a resource information storage unit for storing resource information having a version number corresponding to the software resources accepted by the registration-accepting unit, a resource transfer unit for sending the software resources accepted and the resource information stored in the resource information storage unit to the intermediate server, a server list-creating unit for creating a server list of the intermediate servers to be sent to the terminal devices, and a sending unit for sending the server list created by the server list-creating unit. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100251387 | TERMINAL APPARATUS, DATA PROVIDING SYSTEM, DATA PROVIDING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM - A terminal apparatus includes requester that requests data used for installed software from an external apparatus, a receiver that receives the data requested by the requester, a storage unit that stores the data received by the receiver, a restoring unit that restores the storage unit to the state at an arbitrary point of time; and a restoration controller that enables or disables the restoration operation of the restoring unit, wherein the storage unit stores the data that is requested by the requester and received by the receiver after the restoration controller disables the restoration operation of the restoring unit, the restoration controller enables the restoration operation of the restoring unit after the data received by the receiver is stored in the storage unit, and the restoring unit restores the storing unit to the state at a point of time when or after the restoration controller enables the restoration operation. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20080202482 | EGR system for internal combustion engine - When the opening angle of an intake control valve is limited to a given opening angle by fuel cut, an EGR apparatus is activated, and a malfunction of the EGR apparatus is diagnosed on the basis of a change in intake manifold pressure before and after the activation of the EGR apparatus. When the control for reducing the intake-manifold negative pressure is not implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of first reference intake pressure (P(Ne)) changed by engine speed Ne. When the control for reducing the intake manifold genitive pressure is implemented, the change of the intake manifold pressure is corrected with a changing amount of second reference intake pressure (P | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090243489 | ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION CONTROL DEVICE FOR MOTOR VEHICLE - An electric power generation control device for a motor vehicle is provided which ensures a satisfactory regenerative effect without entailing flickering of or reduction in life of headlights even if the headlights are turned on at all times. The electric power generation control device lowers the power generation voltage of an alternator when the electricity storage amount of a battery is at or above a predetermined level. While lighting of a headlight bulb is detected, lowering of the power generation voltage is restrained if the state of sunlight is equivalent to nighttime, and the power generation voltage is allowed to be lowered if the sunlight state is equivalent to daytime. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100065031 | CONTROL DEVICE FOR ENGINE - A control device for an engine includes an air-fuel ratio detector detecting an air-fuel ratio of an exhaust gas of the engine. A feedback controller performs a feedback control of an amount of a fuel injection of mixed fuel including alcohol so that the air-fuel ratio detected by the air-fuel ratio detector is come close to a target air-fuel ratio, the mixed fuel supplied from a fuel feeder. A concentration estimator estimates a concentration of the alcohol in the mixed fuel based on the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas and a correction amount for the amount of the fuel injection controlled by the feedback control. A malfunction determiner determines that the fuel feeder has a malfunction when the correction amount is greater than or equal to a value for a period which is longer than a first period in a second period. The second period is from a first time point when the feedback controller starts to perform the feedback control. | 03-18-2010 |
