20090070475 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND RESPONSE METHOD THEREOF - A communication device connected to a first network receives a connection request transmitted from a second network, and sets a service existing in the first network to a data request wait state in accordance with receiving the connection request. The communication device transmits a response to the connection request in accordance with the service having been set to a data request wait state. | 03-12-2009 |
20090129340 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING USE OF SERVICE - A communication apparatus, connected to a first network configured to control use of a service provided in the first network from a second network, sends a first signal to the second network for ending a data request from the second network issued to the service in the first network using a first protocol for connecting the first network with the second network if the type of the service is the data supply service when the service in the first network has ended. Furthermore, the communication apparatus sends a second signal for ending the service in the first network after sending the signal for ending the data request using a second protocol for controlling the service in the first network. | 05-21-2009 |
20090138605 | CONNECTION METHOD AND CONFERENCING APPARATUS - In a conferencing system having a first conferencing apparatus and a plurality of second conferencing apparatuses, the plurality of second conferencing apparatuses transmit connection requests, which are for connecting to the first conferencing apparatus, to the first conferencing apparatus based upon first connection information, which is for connecting to the first conferencing apparatus and which a plurality of second communication devices have received from a first communication device. The first conferencing apparatus detects second connection information, which is for connecting to the second conferencing apparatuses that have transmitted the connection requests, and instructs the plurality of second conferencing apparatuses to connect themselves together based upon the second connection information. | 05-28-2009 |
20100235498 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - In order to enable more of the contents managed by a content server to be provided, an information processing apparatus connected to a communication network includes: a managing unit that manages a content and attribute information; a detecting unit that detects an external processing apparatus connected to the communication network; an acquiring unit that acquires capability information, which indicates a capability that can be provided by the external processing apparatus; a generating unit that generates content list information containing a first list containing a content that is managed by the managing unit and that can be directly provided by the information processing apparatus, and a second list containing a content that can be provided by giving a processing request to the external processing apparatus; and a providing unit that provides the content list information to a client terminal. | 09-16-2010 |
20110029679 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION METHOD AND PROGRAM - A communication apparatus receives a communication request from a communication partner and determines whether itself functions as a server or a client. If a first parameter for communication for causing the communication partner to function as the client is included in the communication request and the communication apparatus functions as the server, the communication apparatus determines a second parameter for communication for causing the communication apparatus to function as the server based on the first communication parameter. If the communication apparatus offers the communication partner to function as the client in response to the communication request, the communication apparatus determines a third parameter for communication for causing the communication apparatus to function as the client. The communication apparatus transmits data indicating whether the communication apparatus functions as the server or the client, and the second or the third parameter for communication with the communication partner. | 02-03-2011 |
20110055341 | CONTENT PROVIDING APPARATUS AND CONTENT PROCESSING METHOD - A device search unit of a digital camera acquires type information of a device on a network. An attribute information determination unit, based on type information acquired by the device search unit, determines parameters of the content to be provided to the device corresponding to the type information. The content providing unit provides the content processed based on the determined parameters in response to a request from the device having parameters determined by an attribute information determination unit. | 03-03-2011 |
20120084401 | COMMUNICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A communication apparatus, which communicates with another communication apparatus via a server, requests the server to obtain a transmission authority required to exclusively transmit data to the other communication apparatus. When the transmission authority is obtained from the server in response to the request, the communication apparatus transmits data to the other communication apparatus. When the transmitted data is first data which is played back by the other communication apparatus after completion of transmission of the data, the communication apparatus requests the server to release the transmission authority after an elapse of a predetermined time since completion of transmission of the data. | 04-05-2012 |
20120209991 | NETWORK DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD OF THE SAME, AND RECORDING MEDIUM FOR THE SAME - A network device communicating with an information processing apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive an activation request from the information processing apparatus, an activation unit configured to activate the network device in response to the activation request, a notification unit configured to provide notification of a first scheduled time indicating a duration time of a state in which the network device is not activated, and a responding unit configured to, in response to the activation request received after the notification unit is notified of the first scheduled time, provide notification of a second scheduled time indicating a duration time of the state in which the network device is not activated between when the first scheduled time is notified and before a time corresponding to the first scheduled time elapses, and when the activation has been completed, to notify the information processing apparatus that the activation has been completed. | 08-16-2012 |
20130073680 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME - In order to enable more of the contents managed by a content server to be provided, an information processing apparatus connected to a communication network includes: a managing unit that manages a content and attribute information; a detecting unit that detects an external processing apparatus connected to the communication network; an acquiring unit that acquires capability information, which indicates a capability that can be provided by the external processing apparatus; a generating unit that generates content list information containing a first list containing a content that is managed by the managing unit and that can be directly provided by the information processing apparatus, and a second list containing a content that can be provided by giving a processing request to the external processing apparatus; and a providing unit that provides the content list information to a client terminal. | 03-21-2013 |
20140136661 | TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, RECEIVING APPARATUS, TRANSMISSION METHOD, RECEIVING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A transmission apparatus configured to transmit, to a receiving apparatus, metadata indicating segment data that the receiving apparatus is allowed to acquire among a plurality of segment data constituting content includes a receiving unit configured to receive, from the receiving apparatus, a request for acquisition of the metadata and an end instruction to end a state in which transmission of the segment data to the receiving apparatus is allowed, and a transmission unit configured to transmit, when the receiving unit receives the end instruction, the metadata containing termination information indicating termination of transmission of the segment data to the receiving apparatus. | 05-15-2014 |
