Patent number: 9706012Abstract: In a relay communication system, if a request to perform a first remote operation on a first client terminal selected based on relay server information is received from a third client terminal, then a first relay server relays an operation event and image data, which are operation data of the first remote operation performed based on the first remote operation request, via an operation-performing session established between the second relay server and the first client terminal. If a monitoring request to monitor the first remote operation is received from a second client terminal, then the first relay server establishes a monitoring session with the second client terminal and transmits the operation data of the first remote operation via the monitoring session. As a result, a terminal other than the terminal that performs the remote operation or the terminal that undergoes the remote operation is capable of acquiring the content of the remote operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2012Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: MURATA MACHINERY, LTD.Inventor: Yoshifumi Tanimoto

Patent number: 9385990Abstract: A relay server stores a first routing target address, and stores a second routing target address in association with a virtual address assigned to the second routing target address. The relay server exchanges address filter information with a relay server belonging to a selected VPN group, and establishes a routing session with the relay server. The relay server determines whether or not there is an overlap between the routing target addresses. Upon determination that there is an overlap, the relay server assigns a virtual address to the second routing target address. The relay server uses the virtual address to perform communication between the relay server itself and a first routing target device.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: MURATA MACHINERY, LTD.Inventor: Yoshifumi Tanimoto
