Abstract: A method for distributing advertisement data to display terminal devices from a distribution server via a relay server. The relay server receives status notifications of the display terminal devices and transmits a tenor of receipt of the status notifications to the display terminal devices. The distribution server receiving status notifications and transmits the tenor of receipt of the status notifications to the relay server. The distribution server determines whether the reproduction schedule of the advertisement data has been changed and transmits a notification on a change. If the distribution server receives a request for acquisition of the as-changed reproduction schedule, the distribution server sends the as-changed reproduction schedule to the relay server. If the relay server determines that the reproduction schedule acquired from the distribution server has been changed, the relay server transmits the notification on the change of the reproduction schedule.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a distributing device that distributes edited advertisement data and display terminal devices that display the edited advertisement data distributed to a first place in a predetermined territory. The display terminal devices are each provided with a first reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card having stored memory identification data. The data processing system also includes a second reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card. The data processing system also includes a hysteresis management device that manages hysteresis data HD1, HD2 from the first reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data, and hysteresis data HD1 from the second reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data. The data processing system further includes a hysteresis analysis device that correlates the hysteresis data HD1, HD2 for each of the memory identification data to generate analysis data.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plastic lens includes: disposing a pair of plastic lens molding dies in such a way that the dies face each other and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; forming a frame between the pair of dies; injecting a polymerizable composition into the space surrounded by the frame and the pair of dies; and polymerizing the polymerizable composition in the space to form a plastic lens.

Abstract: A data processing system includes a distributing device that distributes edited advertisement data, formed by an editing device, and display terminal devices that display the edited advertisement data distributed to a first place in a predetermined territory. The display terminal devices each include a first reader/writer configured to read out from and/or write in an IC card having stored memory identification data. A second reader/writer is installed in a second place of the predetermined territory and configured to read out from and/or write in the IC card. A hysteresis management device manages hysteresis data from the first reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data, and hysteresis data from the second reader/writer, correlated with the memory identification data. A hysteresis analysis device correlates the hysteresis data for each of the memory identification data to generate analysis data.

Abstract: A user can select a style sheet applied to an XML document as broadcast program information on a screen. In addition, the user can select display mode/non-display mode of broadcast program information. When the user has selected the display mode, he or she can select link information include mode/link information non-include mode for a menu button. Since a style sheet described in an XSL language or a CSS language is text format data, the use can read it. Thus, the user can edit and update a style sheet through a console. As a result, data in a markup language format can be provided in a representation format corresponding to user's favorite. Thus, the efficiency and flexibility of data delivery are improved.

Abstract: A self-washing step of rotating elastic polishing members 230, supplying a liquid L to the elastic polishing members 230, and, in this condition, pressing pressing units 220 against the elastic polishing members 230 to deform the elastic polishing members 230, thereby washing the elastic polishing members 230 themselves is added to a scrubbing step of rotating lens molds 1, 2, rotating the elastic polishing members 230, pressing the elastic polishing members 230 against the surfaces of the lens molds, and, in this condition, supplying the liquid to the areas between the surfaces of the lens molds 1, 2 and the elastic polishing members 230, thereby washing the lens molds 1, 2. In a drying step, hot water is supplied to the lens molds 1, 2 being rotated, and thereafter dry air is supplied thereto.

Abstract: To provide a monitoring system and method that allows customization of a monitoring system and method according to a user's instruction, thereby achieving a higher flexibility in configuring the monitoring scheme. The monitoring system comprises a user system and a security server. The user system includes a capture unit, an input unit, a sensor, an imaging unit and a home server. The home server accepts the user's instructions and configure monitoring program realized by the home server. The user may specify logical connections between imaging unit and sensor, notification rule when the alarm is occurred.

Abstract: A multi-functional apparatus of all-in-one type has a plurality of functions and comprises a plurality of devices having respective functions, a designation device for designating one of the functions, where each function utilizes at least one of the plurality of devices, and a controller for controlling at least one of the plurality of devices for execution of the designated one function. A management device manages information that specifies an external apparatus from which an extension program is to be acquired for execution of the designated one function, and an acquisition device acquires the extension program from the specified external apparatus based on the managed information for extension of the functions of the multi-functional apparatus.

Abstract: A self-cleaning step for cleaning an elastic abrasive body 231 itself by pressing the rotating elastic abrasive body 231 against a pressing member 221 to deform the elastic body 231 while supplying slurry L containing abrasive to the elastic abrasive body 231 so as to clean the elastic abrasive body 231 is added to a scrub cleaning step in which a plastic optical component 1 is rotated and the rotating elastic abrasive body 231 is pressed against a surface of the plastic optical component 1 while supplying slurry L containing abrasive between the surface of the plastic optical component 1 and the elastic abrasive body 231 so as to clean the plastic optical component 1.

Abstract: A PC is authenticated by a server (SEQ100). When a monitoring start request is issued (SEQ101), an in-house security unit generates a one-time key (SEQ106). The one-time key and information ex. a port number with which the PC is connected to the in-house security unit is passed to the PC through the server (SEQ110). The PC and the in-house security unit are connected in PtoP (SEQ111). The in-house security unit encrypts a picture photographed by the surveillance camera with the one-time key and then streamingly transmits the encrypted picture data to the PC (SEQ114). The PC decrypts the received stream data with the pre-received one-time key, restores the original picture, and displays the restored original picture on a display portion. When a monitoring stop request is sent from the PC to the in-house security unit (SEQ112, 123), the in-house security unit deletes the one-time key (SEQ124).
