Abstract: By deciding whether a beacon device is authentic based on a distance between a position, which is represented by current position information obtained by a handheld wireless terminal, and a position, which is represented by position-of-installation information registered in a server, fraudulent use of the beacon device can be prevented. Accordingly, reliability of a communication system including the beacon device is upgraded, and a service such as an electronic coupon can be safely provided.

Abstract: A communication system includes: a beacon device which is connected to an electronic appliance; and an information terminal. In the communication system, the beacon device retains in advance authentication information that is used when authentication of the electronic appliance under monitoring is performed and transmits a beacon signal including the authentication information, if the condition of the electronic appliance has changed. Moreover, in the communication system, the information terminal, upon receiving a beacon signal including the authentication information, performs authentication using the authentication information and informs its user of a condition of the electronic appliance for which the authentication is done.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the influence of stuck processing having occurred in an overall data communication system. Data generated by a generation section of a first apparatus is transmitted by a transmission section to a second apparatus at a predetermined transmission rate. A processing section of the second apparatus processes the data received. A processing speed calculation section of the second apparatus calculates a processing speed at which the data is processed in the processing section. A notification section of the second apparatus notifies the first apparatus of the processing speed. A rate setting section of the first apparatus calculates a proper rate for transmitting the data to the second apparatus on the basis of a data processing speed in the second apparatus and performs setup so as to transmit the data to the second apparatus at the proper rate.

Abstract: To ensure that a down frame in an off-road motorcycle body frame is lightweight, rigid and easy to weld, a down frame extending downward obliquely and backward from a main frame ahead of an engine is divided along its length into a down frame front portion and a down frame rear portion. Welding joins these portions, which abut each other in the longitudinal direction. The down frame front portion is a pipe wrought product formed by extrusion molding and the down frame rear portion is a casting. Since the down frame is welded along a straight welding line extending along its length, welding is easy. Since a main joint and a lower joint are provided integrally with the down frame rear portion as a casting, a separate gusset can be omitted.
