Abstract: An analog signal input/output system in which an analog signal input terminal converts an input analog signal to a digital signal and transmits the digital signal to a host computer via a network, while a digital signal generated by the host computer is transmitted through the network to an analog signal output terminal and converted therein to an analog signal to be outputted. Two connections of upstream and downstream sockets between the host computer and the analog signal input/output device. These connections are selectively used to provide communication of control signals and data. Exemplary analog signals include input signals from a microphone, output signals to a speaker, and input/output data to/from a sensor, a measuring device and the like.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a communication system to provide a communication system which requires no special application for a correspondent node and has a service handoff function enabling a transfer destination terminal device to be freely used, and its configuration equipment. In order to realize this, the communication system includes a correspondent node delivering communication data which can be executed by a predetermined application, a proxy server device which receives the communication data from the node to execute the application, and transfers the service to a transfer destination terminal device, the transfer destination terminal device outputting the service, and a user terminal device, wherein the user terminal device transmits control information to the proxy server device, and thereby the proxy server device switches the transfer destination terminal device to perform service handoff.

Abstract: In a commodity and service trading system, a client computer 60 receives an input window from a Web server 70 connected via the Internet 72 for the user's entry of transaction data regarding a trade of commodity or service. The user's entry of transaction data on the input window is registered in the form of a user data table into a memory 33 of a transreceiver 20 (transreceiver main body 30). The transreceiver 20 enables delivery of the transaction data registered in the user data table, in parallel with reception of transaction data from another transreceiver 20B or 20C. When a commodity or service option set as an object trade and transaction conditions required for the object trade in the received transaction data match with the commodity or service option and the transaction conditions in the transaction data registered in the user data table, the received transaction data is registered in the form of a receiving data table into the memory 33.
