Patent number: 7774593Abstract: An encrypted packet processing device capable of realizing a predetermined classification process according to a data type while reducing the burden on a processing device in a communication environment in which encrypted packets of different data types exist. A block specifying section specifies a location, in which information necessary for a priority level determination process by a priority level determination section is stored, in an encrypted packet. A specified block decryption section decrypts only a block specified by the block specifying section, and extracts the information necessary for the priority level determination process. The priority level determination section searches a priority level information database using the information extracted by the specified block decryption section as a key, and determines a priority level of the packet.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2004Date of Patent: August 10, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Masaaki Tamai, Hiroshi Yokota, Tatsuro Ikoma

Patent number: 7313234Abstract: An encryption information determination section in a communication device negotiates an encryption algorithm to be used for encrypted communications with an encryption information determination section in a network camera, which is a communication counterpart. At this time, the encryption algorithm to be selected is varied depending on the CPU load of the communication device. That is, if the CPU utilization rate is high, a low-load encryption algorithm is selected, and if the CPU utilization rate is low, a high-load encryption algorithm is selected. A encryption/decryption processing section performs code processing using the encryption algorithm selected by the encryption information determination section.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2003Date of Patent: December 25, 2007Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Keiichi Takagaki, Hiroshi Yokota, Yukie Gotoh, Atsuhiro Tsuji, Masaaki Tamai

Publication number: 20040215955Abstract: An encrypted packet processing device capable of realizing a predetermined classification process according to a data type while reducing the burden on a processing device in a communication environment in which encrypted packets of different data types exist. A block specifying section 13 specifies a location, in which information necessary for a priority level determination process by a priority level determination section 161 is stored, in an encrypted packet. A specified block decryption section 14 decrypts only a block specified by the block specifying section 13, and extracts the information necessary for the priority level determination process. The priority level determination section 161 searches a priority level information DB 162 using the information extracted by the specified block decryption section 14 as a key, and determines a priority level of the packet.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2004Publication date: October 28, 2004Inventors: Masaaki Tamai, Hiroshi Yokota, Tatsuro Ikoma

Publication number: 20040190183Abstract: Data blocks and redundant data are distributed across disk drives. In response to a first read request transmitted from a host device, a controller issues second read requests to read the data blocks and the redundant data from the disk drives. Further, the controller detects the disk drive which is no longer required to read the data block or redundant data from among the disk drives, and issues a read termination command to the detected disk drive to terminate reading therefrom. In a disk array device with such structure, even reading of one parity data with much time required does not affect other reading.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2004Publication date: September 30, 2004Inventors: Masaaki Tamai, Takeshi Kokado, Yukiko Ito, Hiroshi Yokota

Publication number: 20040162983Abstract: Upon receipt of a public value X from a device A, a device B estimates a time to be taken for calculation of a public value Y and a time to be taken for calculation of a common key K, and then calculates a required operation time Tb required at the device B for a key exchanging process for transmission to the device A to report a response delay time S306 and S307. Then, the device B actually calculates the public value Y and the common key K S309 and S310. Upon receipt of the required operation time Tb, the device A extends a waiting limit (timeout time) for a response from the device B to a time when the required operation time Tb elapses from the reception S311.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2004Publication date: August 19, 2004Inventors: Yukie Gotoh, Hiroshi Yokota, Masaaki Tamai, Atsuhiro Tsuji, Keiichi Takagaki

Publication number: 20040136533Abstract: An encryption information determination section 32 in a communication device 24 negotiates an encryption algorithm to be used for encrypted communications with an encryption information determination section 18 in a network camera 12, which is a communication counterpart. At this time, the encryption algorithm to be selected is varied depending on the CPU load of the communication device 24. That is, if the CPU utilization rate is high, a low-load encryption algorithm is selected, and if the CPU utilization rate is low, a high-load encryption algorithm is selected. A encryption/decyption processing section 38 performs code processing using the encryption algorithm selected by the encryption information determination section 32.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Inventors: Keiichi Takagaki, Hiroshi Yokota, Yukie Gotoh, Atsuhiro Tsuji, Masaaki Tamai

Patent number: 6714986Abstract: When a get resource message arrives from an exterior, a resource allocation part reserves a resource. In case of data reading or data writing, a declared value management part checks parameters and a slot allocation part allocates the resource, thereby constructing an efficient file system guaranteeing delay quality in relation to data reading. As the result, it is possible to provide a file system providing pictures in a quick response time for requests from users and supporting users requiring various regeneration speeds.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2002Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoyuki Karibe, Takeshi Kokado, Yukiko Ito, Tsutomu Tanaka, Masaaki Tamai, Shinzo Doi

Patent number: 6408359Abstract: A configuration managing part stores the number of storage devices and respective identifying information. An empty area managing part stores empty-block addresses for each storage device. A destination determining part recognizes the number of storage devices with the information stored by the configuration managing part, and fetches one or more empty-block addresses for specifying empty storage areas included in each storage device from the empty area managing part. The destination determining part then repeatedly rearranges the empty-block addresses at random to determine destination of data.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1999Date of Patent: June 18, 2002Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukiko Ito, Tsutomu Tanaka, Masaaki Tamai, Shinzo Doi
