Abstract: An information collection system includes a first communication device provided at a first vehicle including a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes receiving operations by a first input section, and wirelessly transmitting, by a first transmission section, specific information according to the operation received by the first input section. The information collection system further includes a second communication device provided at a second vehicle including a processor configured to execute a process. The process includes receiving, by a first reception section, the specific information transmitted by the first transmission section, and wirelessly transmitting, to a device that is different from the first communication device by a second transmission section, position information enabling identification of a position at which the specific information was received by the first reception section.

Abstract: A choreography-creation aid method includes: receiving, from a terminal that is present in a certain area, information that enables identifying a location of the terminal; determining, for each of sections obtained by dividing the certain area into two or more, whether a number of terminals that is calculated from the received information that enables identifying the location is greater than a certain number, by a processor; and transmitting, to at least a part of terminals out of the terminals present in a first section for which the number of terminals is determined to be greater than the certain number, a request for moving to a second section for which the number of terminals is not determined to be greater than the certain number.

Abstract: A communication device collects encrypted packet data passing through the communication device. The communication device extracts parameters required to generate a decryption key used when the collected packet data is decrypted. The communication device notifies a key managing device of the extracted parameters. The communication device acquires the decryption key, generated by the key managing device using the parameters of which notification has been given, from the key managing device. The communication device decrypts the collected packet data using the acquired decryption key and analyzes the decrypted packet data. The communication device extracts profile information from the analyzed packet data. The communication device transmits the extracted profile information and network information related to a network through which the encrypted packet data passes to a communication log device as a communication log.

Abstract: An IP packet relay apparatus provided between networks to relay an IP packet relating to a host belonging to a specific group, comprising: a list in which an IP address possessed by a host is associated with a group identifier for identifying a group to which the host belongs; a judgment unit judging whether an IP packet that has received from one network and is addressed to a host connected to another network is an IP packet relating to the same group or not with reference to the list; and a forwarding unit relaying an IP packet judged to be the IP packet relating to the same group.

Abstract: A service assignment apparatus sets an appropriate service in a service-request-incompatible apparatus as a network element so as to guarantee the service in the entire network. A service-request-compatible apparatus processes a received network-service request, and provides a service. A network-information collection unit in the service assignment apparatus collects information on a service-provision state of the service-request-compatible apparatus. A target-apparatus determination unit determines a service-request-incompatible apparatus based on the collected information on the service-provision state. A service mapping unit determines a service which the service-request-incompatible apparatus can provide, based on the information on the service-provision state and information on the determined service-request-incompatible apparatus. A service setting unit sets the service in the service-request-incompatible apparatus.

Abstract: In a network-device control system for controlling a network device such as a router, which is located between a communication terminal employed by a user and a server with which the terminal communicates, at a priority that has been set in advance for the user or for an application, an event notification device detects that a user has logged in to the communication terminal or that the user has launched a predetermined application from the communication terminal and reports the user identifier or the application identifier to a network-device controller. The latter acquires user priority or application priority on the basis of the reported identifier and, in accordance with the priority, controls the router on the communication path between the communication terminal and the server.

Abstract: A router in a network routes an input packet based on a destination address of the packet. The router, upon reception of a packet regarding a connection between a server and a client, determines whether or not to grant a connection to the server based on a set of criteria If determined that a connection is possible, a message is transmitted for reserving bandwidth between two routers which are used for relaying packets between the client and the server.

Abstract: In a data transfer apparatus, a transferring destination information reader reads information of a transferring destination terminal associated with a primary destination terminal based on a communication quality request to the primary destination terminal received from a source terminal. A resource reservation instructor gives instructions for a communication resource reservation for purposes of a communication of the quality to the transferring destination terminal. A resource reserver determines whether or not a communication resource of the transferring destination terminal has been reserved based on the instructions by the resource reservation instructor, and responds a result of the determination thereof to the resource reservation instructor.

Abstract: On receipt of communications data from a client with an address modified by the relay device, the source address modification unit of a server (communications device) modifies the source address of data in response to the communications data to the source address registered in a source address modification database. Thus, response data can be directly transmitted to the client without going through the relay device and a communications route can be shortened accordingly.

Abstract: A service setting system, a network service providing method and a communication service, in which in making a communication via a network, a service condition of a network resource contained in individual communication device is set up so that the network service corresponding to the whole communication path intended for the communication meets a predetermined request is disclosed.

Abstract: A service request responding device A and a service request non-responding device B, which are network equipment, are controlled by a service allocating device C. When a user transmits a service request, the service request responding device A requests the network information collecting section (11) of the a service allocating device C to check whether the requested service should be provided. However, the service request non-responding device B passes the service request through the device without performing any processing. On receipt of a service provision availability request, the network information collecting section (11) notifies both a setting device determining section (10) and a service competition section (14) of the request.

Abstract: A server which manages an agreement of a service offered between domains through a network, for automatically renewing services offered by or demanded by other domains depending on the change of an agreement with the other domains or network state variations. When an agreement with a server is changed, or a variation of network state occurs in other servers, an agreement associated with the other servers is correspondingly changed, and preferably the change is performed only in excess of a fixed threshold value.
