20120059528 | SERVER, CHARGING SERVER, POWER CONSUMPTION CALCULATING SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, a server to which a plurality of power meters each measuring an amount of power consumption of an electric appliance is connected, includes a receiving unit, a first storage unit and a calculating unit. The receiving unit receives a calculation result. The calculation result is calculated based on the amount of power consumption measured by each of the plurality of power meters and each of random numbers generated according to a probability distribution by each of the plurality of power meters. The first storage unit stores therein parameters for generating random numbers. The calculating unit calculates an estimation value of a sum or average of the amounts of power consumption using the calculation results and the parameters. The estimation value is used for determining whether to perform power control. | 03-08-2012 |
20120191387 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, POWER CONSUMPTION CALCULATING SYSTEM AND PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to one embodiment, an information processing device includes an obtaining unit, a generating unit, and a transmitting unit. The obtaining unit obtains a power consumption of electrical equipment at least once per unit time. The generating unit generates a plurality of pieces of partial information by using a first power consumption and a first value calculated according to a predetermined rule. The generating unit generates a plurality of pieces of partial information by using a second power consumption and the first value. The first power consumption is obtained at a first period. The second power consumption is obtained at a second period different from the first period. The second power consumption is obtained later than the first power consumption. The transmitting unit transmits the pieces of partial information to a plurality of different storage servers, respectively. | 07-26-2012 |
20120233461 | DATA TRANSMITTING APPARATUS AND DATA AUTHENTICATING METHOD - According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a data transmitting apparatus including an authenticator generating unit and a communicating unit. The authenticator generating unit generates a first authenticator by using a first encryption key and generates a second authenticator including a first to an n-th fragment information items by using a second encryption key. The communicating unit transmits a first packet including the first authenticator and the first fragment information item to a destination device and, after the first packet is transmitted, if a response indicating successful authentication is not received from the destination device within a certain period, sequentially transmits an i-th packet (i is an integer being 2 or more and n or less) including the i-th fragment information item to the destination device. | 09-13-2012 |
20120243541 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - An apparatus includes a first processing unit to judge, whether the route information storing unit stores a second next destination address; a second processing unit to judge whether a received packet includes an message authentication code, in the case where the route-information storing unit stores the second next destination address; a third processing unit to judge whether the key-information storing unit stores a second shared key, which is a first shared key shared between the information processing apparatus, in the case where the received packet does not include the message authentication code for the second next destination address; a third packet generating unit to generate a third packet, which includes a next destination and information indicating that the generation of an message authentication code is impossible, in the case where the key information storing unit does not store the second shared key. | 09-27-2012 |
20120245870 | DATA CONVERTING DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING DEVICE, POWER CONSUMPTION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - According to an embodiment, a data converting device is connected to a power meter configured to add up power consumptions of electrical equipment. The device includes a receiving unit configured to receive power consumptions per predetermined unit time added up by the power meter; and a calculating unit configured to calculate a second sequence to be stored as added up power consumptions in a storage unit from a first sequence containing the power consumptions per unit time received by the receiving unit in time series by using a conversion rule for converting a value of a second element in the second sequence based on a value of a first element in the first sequence. The second sequence has no privacy information and, the second sequence can be used for calculating a total value of the first sequence. | 09-27-2012 |
20120310801 | POWER USAGE CALCULATION SYSTEM - According to an embodiment, in a power usage calculation system, a data management system connected to electric power meters adding up power usage of electric apparatuses and an energy management system are interconnected through a network. Plural pieces of the first partial information are calculated by using the power usage added up by the electric power meters. The plural pieces of the first partial information are stored in storage servers. Each storage server calculates second partial information by using a plurality of pieces of the first partial information of the power usage added up by the electric power meters and transmits the calculated second partial information to the energy management system. The energy management system receives the second partial information respectively transmitted from the storage servers and calculates a total amount of the power usage added up by the electric power meters by using the received second partial information. | 12-06-2012 |
20130246801 | DATA TRANSMITTING DEVICE, DATA RECEIVING DEVICE, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - According to one embodiment, the data transmitting device includes a storing unit, an authenticator generating unit, and a communication unit. The storing unit stores accuracy information based on an accuracy of synchronization between a first clock and a second clock. The first clock indicates a current time of the data transmitting device. The second clock indicates a current time of other device to be a destination of a data packet. The authenticator generating unit calculates a first time by adding a predetermined time to the current time of the data transmitting device, calculates a second time by adjusting the first time using the accuracy information, and generates an authenticator using the second time, the data packet, and a predetermined secret key. The communication unit transmits, to the other device, the data packet with the authenticator at a third time obtained by adding the second time to a predetermined time. | 09-19-2013 |
