  • Patent number: 11869280
    Abstract: An information providing method is performed in an information providing system. The information providing method includes: acquiring pieces of speed information of a vehicle in association with identification information of an in-vehicle device from the in-vehicle device via roadside antennas, each of the pieces of speed information having been stored in the in-vehicle device each time the vehicle moves a prescribed distance before the vehicle passes by the roadside antennas; and causing an information display device to display evaluation information in association with the identification information, the evaluation information indicating a frequency of occurrence of sudden acceleration or deceleration events of the vehicle obtained from a proportion of differences between calculation values outside a threshold range, the calculation values being calculated on the basis of the pieces of speed information in a prescribed period corresponding to the pieces of speed information stored in the in-vehicle device.

  • Patent number: 7308478
    Abstract: An attempt is made to make an incoming notification for a reply to sending mail, an incoming notification related to the sending mail, and an incoming notification from an Internet service provider to a user. Accordingly, when the mail is sent from a communication terminal, if an incoming notification condition related to the mail is added and the mail is sent to a server unit, the server unit detects and registers the information as the incoming notification condition and sends the mail to the Internet. Further, when the mail that matches the incoming notification condition was received, the incoming notification is made to the communication terminal and the condition is changed. Consequently, the incoming notification condition can dynamically be set and changed at mail sending and receiving. That is, the incoming notification condition related to the sending mail can be registered in the server unit at mail sending.

  • Publication number: 20060215822
    Abstract: A switching system capable of carrying out call recording without producing any reception delay in communication data. In this system, upon reception of a call connection request from a communication terminal 210, a call control apparatus 250 selects a multicast address, notifies the multicast address to all communication terminals 230 involving in the call connection and joins a multicast group indicated by the address. The communication terminal 210 transmits all voice data of the call using the address while the call is connected and the call control apparatus 250 mixes the voice packet directed to the own apparatus sent to the address and stores the voice packet in a user data voice storage database 160.

  • Publication number: 20050234914
    Abstract: Load of mail arrival notice processing in a system that reports arrival of mail received from the Internet is reduced. When mail arrival notice to terminals from a mail delivery device fails, mail arrival notice data is stored in transmission data storage means, and the mail arrival notice is transmitted to the terminals again after a predetermined time elapses. When the mail arrival notice is successfully transmitted, the stored mail arrival notice data is deleted from the mail delivery device. Or the stored mail arrival notice data is deleted when other mail for the same terminals is received. For failure of mail arrival notice, according to reasons for the failure, retransmission time is changed, and notice priorities are set according to terminal types.
