  • Publication number: 20060036354
    Abstract: An information processing system includes an electronic apparatus, a server, and an external apparatus. The electronic apparatus acquires operation information for the electronic apparatus from the server, and directs the electronic apparatus to operate according to the operation information. The server receives an external apparatus identifier, electronic apparatus identifier, and operation information, from the external apparatus, and accumulates the information. The external apparatus accepts input of the electronic apparatus identifier and the operation information, and transmits the external apparatus identifier and the operation information to the server. Such an information processing system enables operation information for an electronic apparatus to be set and acquired, without directly accessing an electronic apparatus from an external apparatus, improving security.

  • Publication number: 20050200452
    Abstract: An information processing system formed with a relay and light output devices. In the system, an external information receiver receives first external information transmitted from an outside. An external information acquisition unit acquires second external information. A light output controller controls, based on the first and second external information, the light output to be in one or more number of output states, among three or more number of output states. At the relay, an external information receiver receives a sender identifier for identifying sender of the external information, and the external information. A transmission control information memory stores one or more sets of a transmission destination identifier and transmission control information. A transmission destination identifier acquisition unit acquires transmission destination identifier from the transmission control information memory.

  • Publication number: 20050204060
    Abstract: In an information processing system having an electronic device and a server device, the electronic device transmits information having a GIP to the server device, and the server device configures retuned information having a GIP, and transmits it to the electronic device. The electronic device receives and sets the GIP. Thus, the GIP setting of the electronic device can be performed automatically, thereby facilitating to access the electronic device from an external device via the Internet.

  • Publication number: 20050163506
    Abstract: An information processing terminal stores beforehand an originator identifier for identifying the information processing terminal itself, and transmits external information including the originator identifier. An optical output unit receives the external information transmitted from the information processing terminal, and produces one mode of optical output among three or more output modes under a multistage control according to the external information. The optical output unit thus outputs softly the external information obtained by the information processing terminal.

  • Publication number: 20050144220
    Abstract: A communication system including a communication device and a server device. In a server device, a communication information memory stores unique information that is information for identifying a second communication device and communication destination information that is information for communicating with the second communication device. In a first communication device, a first server device identification information memory stores server device identification information that is information for accessing to a server device. An input receiver receives the input of unique information. When the input receiver receives the input of unique information, a first communication destination information acquisition unit accesses to the server device identified by the server device identification information, and acquires communication destination information corresponding to the unique information from server device.

  • Publication number: 20050097129
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus of the present invention records data on a recording medium. The information processing apparatus has a copyright processing information reception unit for receiving copyright processing information related to copyright processing on the recording medium, and a copyright processing information recording unit for recording the copyright processing information on the recording medium. The information processing apparatus acquires the copyright processing information related to the copyright processing recorded on the recording medium, and performs recording processing so as to determine whether or not to record a content based on the copyright processing information. Thus, a copyright loyalty can be charged to the recording medium, and the copyright is appropriately protected.
