Abstract: A service processing apparatus that is realized by a computer is provided. The apparatus forms a service processing system, and transmits and receives information, with at least one other service processing apparatus. The apparatus performs processing to execute at least a service other than services for which processing is complete and that are not idempotent among at least one service corresponding to the services for which re-execution is requested, when re-execution is requested for a service for which execution has been previously requested by receipt of a service request to which the same service ID is added as to a previously received service request, and transmits a response to a transmission origin of the service request, when the processing to execute is completed.

Abstract: A service processing apparatus that is realized by a computer is provided. A service ID generating/adding component of the service processing apparatus generates a service ID including a call origin ID and a call destination ID, in each of which an ID element is set, and adds the generated service ID to a service request transmitted when no upper service processing apparatus to the own apparatus exists, and, when an upper service processing apparatus to the own apparatus exists, generates a service ID including a call origin ID in which is set an ID element set as the call destination ID in a service ID added to a service request received from the upper service processing apparatus and a call destination ID in which is set an ID element and adds the generated service ID to the service request.

Abstract: A numerical calculation device calculates a value of any one of an option premium or an option risk indicator or both related to a barrier option. The numerical calculation device includes a magnitude relation judging unit that judges a magnitude relation between a value of a volatility used for a calculation of the option risk indicator and a threshold value of the volatility at which it is predicted in advance that an overflow occurs, and a calculation executing unit that executes, when it is judged that the value of the volatility is equal to or larger than the threshold value, the calculation of the option risk indicator using a specific approximation formula and calculation procedure.

Abstract: A system, method and program product for processing a multiplicity of data update requests made by a customer. All of the data update requests are grouped into a plurality of blocks for execution by a data processor. The data update requests within each of the blocks and from one of the blocks to a next one of the blocks are arranged in an order that the data update requests need to be executed to yield a proper data result. Each of the blocks have approximately a same capacity for the data update requests. The capacity corresponds to a number of the data update requests which the data processor can efficiently process in order before processing the data update requests in the next one of the blocks. Then, the data processor processes the data update requests within the one block in the order. Then, the data processor processes the data update requests within the next block in the order. The order is an order in which the data update requests were made.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a storage cabinet that houses a terminal having a reader unit for reading information recorded on a recording medium. With this storage cabinet, a recording medium can be readily connected to the reader unit from any angle. The storage cabinet houses a thin client terminal having a reader unit for reading authentication information from a recording medium. This storage cabinet includes a shelf board that is supported in a horizontal direction and has an opening into which the thin client terminal can be inserted, with the reader unit facing upward, and holding members that hold the thin client terminal inserted into the board member, with the reader unit being located higher than the shelf board.

Abstract: A support stand includes a base 2 including a substantially rectangular base plate 3 and four support feet 5 provided on the base plate 3 to extend outward from corners of the base plate in diagonal directions, respectively, and a stay 15 built vertically on the base 2 and for supporting the support target 30. One support foot 5b out of the four support feet 5 is formed to be bent into an L shape in a plan view or formed into an inverted U shape in a side view, and the support feet 5a adjacent to the one foot 5b are formed to extend linearly.

Abstract: There is provided person oneself authenticating means for authentication of a user, which is mainly used for person oneself authentication in Internet banking or the like and is high in security, and is realizable by functions ordinarily provided in a PC, a mobile phone, or the like, the authenticating means being less in burden required for user authentication key management and authentication operations. Sound or an image is adopted as an authentication key for person oneself authentication. Authentication data is edited by combining an authentication key, which is selected by a registered user, and sound or an image that is other than the authentication key, and the authentication data is continuously reproduced in a user terminal. A time in which a user has discriminated the authentication key from the reproduced audio or video is compared with a time in which the authentication key should normally be discriminated, which is specified from the authentication data.

Abstract: Accuracy of user validation is improved without reducing user's convenience. When a authentication request packet is received from a terminal, when the authentication is successful based on a user ID and a password (affirmative in 34), an HTTP header and user-agent (UA) information are extracted from the packet and an access source IP address is also extracted (36), and user authentication is performed by verifying the access source IP address and the UA information against usage history information (38, 44, and 46) where at most two sets of the IP address and the UA information extracted from the authentication request packet which is received from the same user previously are registered.

Abstract: There is provided an inexpensive digital camera for a TV conference used in a TV conference held between locations remote from each other with a large number of attendees on both sides to acquire an image of all the attendees. The digital camera 1 for a TV conference used in a TV conference held with a plurality of attendees to acquire an image of the plurality of attendees and operable to output the acquired image data includes a camera body 2 provided with an imaging element therein, a main lens unit 5 provided at the portion of the camera body 2 that corresponds to the imaging element, and a sub-lens unit 10 having a wide viewing angle attached to the front end of the main lens unit 5.

Abstract: There is provided a display device stand used with a long table used in a TV conference, the display device stand allowing each of attendees seated along the long table to accurately see the contents displayed on the display screen of the display device. A display device stand 1 for supporting a display device 30 includes a base 2, a column 12 standing on the base 2, and a supporting member 20 provided at the column 12 and supporting the display device 30. The column 12 stands at a position on the opposite side of the center of the base 2 from the display screen of the supported display device 30. A weight 10 is removably attached to the base 2. The mass of the weight 10 added to the base 2 enhances the stability of the base 2, so that the display device 30 can be supported in a stable manner.

Abstract: There is provided a display device stand that allows a TV conference to be held in a limited space, such as a small room, in a satisfactory manner. A display device stand 1 for supporting a display device 30 includes a base 2, a column 12 standing on the base 2, and angular adjustment member 20 provided at the top of the column 12. The rear side of the display device 30 is connected to the angular adjustment member 20 and the display device 30 can be angularly adjusted between the position where the display screen of the display device 30 is oriented upward and the position where the display screen of the display device 30 is oriented horizontally. The angular adjustment member 20 is a hinge 20 having two blades that can swing with respect to each other.

Abstract: There is provided a housing apparatus in and out of which a keyboard and a mouse can be put and taken.
