Abstract: In a “local production for local consumption” network including a backhaul line formed by wireless multi-hop communication between a plurality of base stations, and a plurality of local service servers, communication speed is increased by appropriately selecting communication routes between the user terminals and the local service servers, and the power efficiency of the wireless communication by minimizing the power consumption of the overall system. A network control server collects information regarding the user terminals, the access points, and the local service servers, sets communication routes between the user terminals and the local service servers, groups of the base stations, those of the existing base stations and local service servers that are active so as to optimize a power efficiency of the overall network according to the collected information, and notifies the base stations, the local service servers or the user terminals of route information regarding the communication routes.

Abstract: In a network having an edge server disposed therein, to appropriately construct a wireless communication route used in communication between the edge server and a user terminal, a processor of a network control device acquires group information related to grouped base stations in multiple base stations disposed in the network, acquires route information related to one or more wireless communication routes formed by multi-hop communication between the grouped base stations, and transmits the group information and the route information to an edge server connected to one of the base stations or to a user terminal.

Abstract: A wireless system includes a plurality of base stations including a first base station connected to a backbone network and a plurality of second base stations connected to the first base station by wireless multi-hop, and a server disposed in the backbone network and communicating with the first base station.

Abstract: In a communication system, a PBX, a smartphone, and a communication adapter are connected. When detecting an event related to a call such as an incoming call and an outgoing call, the communication adapter transmits information on the event to the smartphone through BLE communication with the smartphone. The smartphone makes a notification of the occurrence of the event, based on the information on the event transmitted from the communication adapter. After the notification of the occurrence of the event, the communication adapter transmits an Invite command, “180” command, or the like to the PBX.

Abstract: A mold mounting apparatus having a mold holding apparatus provided on one side at the end of rails, for positioning and holding a mold; a second mold holding apparatus provided on the opposite side of clamping machines of an injection molding machine and the rails, for preheating, positioning and holding the mold in place; a mold delivery apparatus for delivering the mold to two clamping machines; and a mold carrying apparatus for receiving and delivering the mold among the mold holding apparatus, the second mold holding apparatus, and the mold delivery apparatus, and for conveying the mold along the rails. According to this mold mounting apparatus, the mold can be automatically carried into, and out of, all of the clamping machines after the mold has been brought into the mold holding apparatus, thereby improving mold changing operation efficiency and saving a space for the molding process.
