  • Patent number: 9030993
    Abstract: In order that even a wireless terminal whose an unique ID is not registered in the filter list can use simply the access point without a prior setting task by user, a communication device includes access point means, filtering disabling means, unique ID registration means and filtering enabling means. The access point means connects a wireless terminal with at least one of a lower network and an upper network. The filtering disabling means disables a filtering which prevents connecting with an unregistered wireless terminal whose an unique ID is not registered in a filter list. The unique ID registration means acquires the unique ID of the wireless terminal and registers the acquired unique ID in the filter list, upon a state where the filtering is disabling, if a connection request is received from the wireless terminal. The filtering enabling means enables the filtering after the unique ID of the wireless terminal is registered in the filter list.

  • Patent number: 9025928
    Abstract: In a portable terminal apparatus, a CPU determines receiving condition of broadcast data received by a television broadcast receiving unit, while recording the received data, and records information indicating receiving condition according to the determination result. The CPU obtains information indicating recording condition of the recorded broadcast data based on information indicating receiving condition, and displays the obtained information on a main display unit. Specifically, the CPU sequentially receives time stamps synchronous with broadcast data while receiving and recording the broadcast data, and records them in time series as information indicating receiving condition. The CPU determines whether time stamps recorded in time series are temporally continuous, and specifies any error portion where the recorded broadcast data has not been received normally, according to the determination result.

  • Publication number: 20150103689
    Abstract: An interference power measuring circuit in a base station measures the interference power in a cell that the base station belongs to. When the measured interference power is larger than a predetermined value, the transmitter in the base station transmits the interference information for each frequency used in the FDMA communication system to a base station in a neighboring cell. The base station in the neighboring cell instructs user equipment that communicates the base station to reduce a transmission power.

  • Patent number: 9008965
    Abstract: In position measurement device, a positional data acquirer measures a present position to acquire positional data. A positional data storage sequentially stores the positional data acquired by the positional data acquirer. A determiner determines, on the basis of the positional data sequentially stored by the positional data storage and a predetermined criterion, whether a position of a user at a present time is a position of a location to be recorded. And, a locational information storage stores, if the determiner determines that the position of the user at the present time is the position of the location to be recorded, the positional data of the position as locational information.
