Abstract: A communication interface receives position information from a terminal device being charged. A controller determines that the terminal device is in a first state when the position information received in the communication interface is included in a past charging area and determines that the terminal device is in a second state when the position information received in the communication interface is not included in the past charging area. Upon receiving a signal addressed to the terminal device, the communication interface transmits the signal to the terminal device when the terminal device is in the first state. The communication interface stops the transmission of the signal to the terminal device when the terminal device is in the second state.

Abstract: An index calculator calculates, for a terminal device, an easiness-of-communication index indicating a degree to which a user using the terminal device recognizes communication, by using information related to the terminal device. A communication circuit receives communication request data of a first communication mode or a second communication mode from a first terminal device originating a call, the communication request data designating a second terminal device as a destination of the call. The communication circuit transmits, when the communication request data of the second communication mode is received and the easiness-of-communication index of the second terminal device meets a predetermined condition, communication request data of the first communication mode to the second terminal device.

Abstract: A quality score calculator calculates first quality information indicating a degree of quality of a signal received from a terminal apparatus. A communication interface acquires second quality information indicating a degree of quality of a signal received by another base station apparatus from the terminal apparatus. A controller compares the first quality information calculated and the second quality information acquired and determines which indicates a higher quality. A communication interface and a wireless transmitter transmit the signal received from the terminal apparatus when it is determined that the quality of the first quality information is higher.

Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires a reference time that is a reception time when a signal was received from another terminal or a call origination time when the other terminal device transmitted a signal. A storage stores a call origination time when a signal was transmitted to the other terminal device. A controller selects, by referring to the reference time acquired by the acquisition unit and the call origination time stored in the storage, a first communication mode in which communication is started after a predetermined user operation is performed in the other terminal device or a second communication mode in which communication is started even when the predetermined user operation is not performed in the other terminal device. A communication unit transmits a signal to the other terminal device in accordance with the communication mode selected by the controller.

Abstract: A communication interface receives data at least including speech information and information related to a transmission time when the speech information should be transmitted. A processor extracts the speech information and the transmission time included in the data received by the communication interface. A wireless transmitter transmits the speech information extracted by the processor based on the transmission time extracted by the processor. When the transmission time has already passed, the wireless transmitter transmits the speech information and transmits the speech information extracted from subsequent data that follows said data at a time later than the transmission time extracted from the subsequent data.

Abstract: A detector in a control device detects a quality of a signal received by a first base station device and transmitted from a terminal device using a first channel. A channel setting controller in the control device changes a reception channel of a second base station device from a second channel to the first channel when the detector detects a drop in the quality of the signal.

Abstract: An application program can be installed in an information processing device. A determination unit determines whether the information processing device is in a state suitable for executing the application program. A management unit updates a usage state of a trial license of the application program in a case where the determination unit has determined that the information processing device is in a state suitable for operating a user interface unit. The management unit stops updating the usage state of the trial license of the application program in a case where the management unit has determined that the information processing device is not in a state suitable for executing the application program.

After the activation of the application program is detected by the detection unit, an acquisition unit acquires the history of an operation performed by a user on the application program. A determination unit determines, using as a parameter the history of the operation acquired by the acquisition unit, the termination of evaluation of the application program performed by the user.

Abstract: A terminal device includes a first position information acquisition unit that acquires its own position information, and a second position information acquisition unit that acquires position information of another device connected to a LAN from the another device. When position information cannot be acquired via the first position information acquisition unit, the terminal device acquires position information of another device from the another device and transmits an authentication request including the acquired position information to an authentication server.

Abstract: A roadside device is provided with a corresponding table where an item of a new version of a taste data table assumed user taste information from an item of an old version of the taste data table. Item numbers “52”, “53”, “62” and “63” in the old version of the taste table, for example, are made to correspond to item numbers “52”, “53” and “63” in the new version of the taste table. An ITS vehicle-mounted device sets user taste data in the updated item numbers to default values of the items in the new version for a transmitting-destination user of the taste data table of the new version and transmits the default data to an ITS vehicle-mounted device of the transmitting-destination user. Thereby, a proper default value is set for a version change of the taste data table in the roadside apparatus, reducing user's input trouble.

Abstract: Provided is an information distribution system (100), in which a control section (4) deletes, when a member registration cancellation of a distribution service is instructed by an input unit (1d) of a vehicle-mounted device (10), the contents information and the uplink information stored in a storage unit (1f), other than the fundamental information, thereby to set ON a member registration cancellation flag. If the member registration cancellation flag is set ON when the communication with a center apparatus (30) is established, moreover, the control section (4) writes a code indicating the member registration cancellation, in the fundamental information of the uplink information, and transmits the same to the center apparatus (30). When this center apparatus (30) receives the uplink information from the vehicle-mounted device (10), the center apparatus (30) decides whether or not the code indicating the member registration cancellation is contained in the fundamental information.
