Patent number: 9277173Abstract: A communication device is provided which can smoothly perform communication using a video phone function by suppressing the video phone function depending on whether the video phone function is in an effective condition. When an incoming call using the video phone function is occurred or when an outgoing call using the video phone function is performed, a control unit determines whether the video phone function is in the effective condition. Only when it is determined that the video phone function is in the effective condition, the control unit starts communication using the video phone function. When it is determined that the video phone function is not in the effective condition, the control unit 10 executes control to perform only audio communication without performing the communication using the video phone function.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventor: Atsushi Miura

Publication number: 20150334194Abstract: A client (such as a PC, portable telephone, PDA, electrical appliances), to which a device such as a IC card is connected, starts a handshake protocol to request a server to start communication. When communication is established via the handshake protocol, the initiative of communication is transferred to the server, and the state changes into a neutral state. In this neutral state, a control packet including a particular number of messages and a finished message is transmitted from the server to the client. If the client receives the control packet, the client performs a process according to the messages included in the control packet. This makes it possible to remotely control a device via a network in a highly reliable and efficient manner.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2015Publication date: November 19, 2015Applicant: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Hideki AKASHIKA, Takuya OSHIMA, Tadashi SUZUKI, Atsushi MIURA, Toyokazu OTA, Yoshiaki HIRANO
