A community establishing unit extracts users who have entered the same search keyword, from the plurality of users registered in the user information master, and records them in a community information master, thereby establishing a community. An information extracting unit transmits the user information of other users who belong to the same community to the information terminal through the web server. | 09-17-2009 |
20090265222 | User Grouping Apparatus And User Grouping Method - An RFID aggregate storage stores a radio-frequency ID aggregate structure. The RFID aggregate structure is an aggregated data structure of a plurality of RFIDs, in which each RFID is associated with a location and time read out from a RFID tag, and RFID related information, hierarchically constructed by classifying RFIDs based on the readout location and further by classifying them based on the readout time. A proximity evaluator evaluates the proximity between the first user's RF ID aggregate and the second user's RFID aggregate. A user classifier classifies the first user and the second user in one group when the proximity is smaller than a predetermined threshold value. | 10-22-2009 |

20110173054 | Advertising Insertion, Profiling, Impression, and Feedback - Various apparatus, methods and systems for insertion of advertisements in various environments are provided. Apparatus, methods and systems for profiling users, registering advertisement impressions and generating feedback in response to advertisement viewing are also disclosed. | 07-14-2011 |
20120329430 | SERVER CONNECTION METHOD, SERVER, AND REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM - A system includes a server and an information terminal apparatus that can be locally connected to a cellular phone terminal, which can be connected to the server via a cellular phone communication network. With such a system, when the server receives a request to remotely control the information terminal apparatus, the server verifies the validity of the request. When the request is valid, the server establishes a connection to the cellular phone terminal, and transmits, via the cellular phone terminal, a packet which is an instruction to start up the information terminal apparatus. Upon receiving the start-up instruction packet transmitted from the server, the information terminal apparatus starts up and establishes a connection to the server. | 12-27-2012 |
