Abstract: A data communication apparatus forms a mesh network together with at least one gateway includes a frame generating unit and a frame transferring unit. The frame generating unit generates a meter data frame to transmit to a gateway. The meter data frame is a frame including meter data. The frame transferring unit transfers the meter data frame received from another data communication apparatus. The meter data frame is addressed to the gateway. The frame generating unit transmits the meter data frame to which number of alternate routing that indicates number of allowable transmission attempts from a data communication apparatus adjacent to a destination gateway of the meter data frame to the gateway is added. The frame transferring unit changes the number of alternate routing added thereto to a value smaller by 1 than a value that has been set and transits the meter data frame to another data communication apparatus.

Abstract: A communication device is included in an ad hoc network in a reactive routing scheme. The communication device includes a receiving unit, a selecting unit, and a transfer control unit. The receiving unit receives a route request frame including overall quality information on routes through which the route request frame has passed. The selecting unit selects a route request frame to be transferred to another communication device based on the quality information, from the route request frames received by the receiving unit through a plurality of routes. The transfer control unit transfers the route request frame selected by the selecting unit to the another communication device, and discards the route request frame when a quality value indicated by the quality information of the route request frame is smaller than a predetermined reference value.

Abstract: An imager is provided having an imaging sensor, an image processor, and a recorder. The imaging sensor creates an image signal by photographing a subject. The image processor processes the image signal with visual effects processing so as to create image data, and adds metadata to the image data so as to create an image file. The metadata contains post-processing information includes information based on the visual effects process. The recorder stores the image file. The visual effects process is used in processing the image data. The image processor conducting a post process in which more than one visual effects process is carried out, a new image file is created, and the new image file is stored in the recorder. The post-processing information has a post-processing counter and pre-processing information. The post-processing counter indicates the number of times the post process is carried out. The pre-processing information represents the state of a preprocessed image file prior to post processing.

Abstract: A wireless communication device in a data collection system starts measuring a time when the wireless communication device receives a wireless signal from a data collection device. The wireless communication device changes the wireless channel, transmits a detection signal for detecting the data collection device, and starts measuring a time after transmitting the detection signal when the wireless communication device is unable to receive a next wireless signal from the data collection device even after passage of a predetermined time since the wireless communication device has previously received the wireless signal. The wireless communication device changes the wireless channel to be used, depending on whether the wireless communication device has received a response signal from the data collection device in response to the detection signal within a predetermined time.

Abstract: A photographing information management method, which includes: judging whether there is equality between photographing position information added to an image file stored in an external storage medium which is detachably attachable to an imaging apparatus and photographing position information stored in an internal memory of the imaging apparatus; and when it is judged that the two pieces of photographing position information have the equality, displaying an image and the photographing position information of the image file on a display screen of the imaging apparatus.

Abstract: An image-recording device comprises a recording processor recording a common still image, to which an identical frame number (a folder-number/file-number pair, for example) is attached, on a plurality of recording media, respectively. A plurality of images, to which an identical frame number is attached, are simultaneously indicated on the screen of a monitor. A candidate image is selected, which should be subjected to a predetermined image process such as deletion operation, from the plurality of images indicated on the screen.

Abstract: In accordance with a handoff method, when a handoff of mobile terminal equipment from a previous foreign agent to a new foreign agent is detected, the mobile terminal equipment is doubly registered with either a home agent or a gateway foreign agent so that the mobile terminal equipment is associated with both the previous foreign agent and the new foreign agent. During the handoff, either the home agent or the gateway foreign agent determines whether or not an IP packet destined for the mobile terminal equipment is of real-time traffic, and then bicasts the IP packet to both the previous foreign agent and the new foreign agent if the IP packet is of real-time traffic, and buffers the IP packet otherwise. When the handoff is completed, the regional registration with either the home agent or the gateway foreign agent is updated so that the mobile terminal equipment is associated only with the new foreign agent.
