  • Patent number: 11026088
    Abstract: A wireless LAN communication system which achieves convenience where a terminal of a user who is external to an organization can temporarily use the system while ensuring security. For example, a first terminal is used by a user internal to an organization and a second terminal is used by a user external to the organization. A communication device has a display function and the first terminal connects to the communication device via a wireless LAN access point device. The second terminal connects, under permission from the first terminal, to the communication device via the wireless LAN access point. The second terminal uses the display function of the communication device through the connection via the wireless LAN access point. The first terminal and the communication device confirm whether the permission is to be continued or terminated to make the second terminal unable to use the display function.

  • Patent number: 10715858
    Abstract: When a user inputs an operation of recording a broadcast program into a broadcast reception device, the broadcast reception device outputs, by a display video output unit of the broadcast reception device, a recording setting screen selecting a first recording method of recording program related information and not recording a video content of a broadcast program or a second recording method of recording the program related information and a video content of the broadcast program about a first program. When the first recording method is selected, the program related information is recorded and the video content of the broadcast program is not recorded. When the user inputs an operation of playing back the first program into the broadcast reception device, the broadcast reception device communicates with the server, receives the video content of the first program from the server, and outputs the video content by the display video output unit.
