Abstract: A charging management unit of a charging management server acquires contact information of a first user who uses a charging unit for charging a traction battery of a vehicle. The charging management unit of the charging management server receives a first request indicating that a second user, who is a user different from the first user, wants to use the charging unit being used by the first user after the first user has finished using the charging unit. When the charging management unit of the charging management server receives the first request, it notifies the first user about the first request.

Abstract: An information processing device 400 is configured to be provided with a detection unit 410 and a control unit 420 so that an advertisement can be outputted to a customer at an appropriate timing. The detection unit 410 detects the position of a customer that has come to a store. The display control unit 420 causes a display device associated with a predetermined position in the store to display an advertisement when the distance between the detected position of the customer and the predetermined position is a predetermined value or less.

Abstract: A unit for realizing a TV phone by using an image and a character message by a relatively simple method in a manner mode is provided. In the manner mode of one mobile TV phone terminal, a control unit for controlling the operation of the one mobile TV phone terminal prohibits the sound input via a microphone of the one mobile TV phone terminal and the sound output via a speaker and operates an SMS function with a TV phone function. A line between the one mobile TV phone terminal and another one is connected, an SMS message is created by operating a key input unit of the one mobile TV phone terminal, and a send key is pressed. Then, the message data is sent to the other mobile TV phone terminal via one base station, an SMS server, and another base station. A display unit of the other mobile TV phone terminal displays the message together with the image sent via a TV phone exchange.

Abstract: In a throughput estimation method for estimating throughput of a first channel in a cellular system in which the first channel and a second channel that are used for an uplink wireless communication service in a cell, noise rise of the second channel is calculated from the traffic volume of the second channel, the noise rise and a target RTWP that is the target total reception power of the base station that is set in the base station are used to calculate a ratio of resources used for the wireless communication service that can be allocated to the first channel, and the resource ratio is then used to calculate the throughput of the first channel.

Abstract: For an audio-visual terminal that reproduces content, anonymity of a user is ensured while enabling reproduction of the content. A content using system of the present invention includes a communication terminal, an audio-visual terminal and a license server. The communication terminal generates an electronic ticket by providing a group sign to license information obtained from the license server. The audio-visual terminal, after verifying the group sign of the electronic ticket obtained from the communication terminal, transmits the electronic ticket to the license server. The license server judges whether or not the electronic ticket is usable, which is transmitted from the audio-visual terminal and assigns a license of the content to the audio-visual terminal when the electronic ticket is judged to be usable. The audio-visual terminal decrypts the content which is encrypted, by using a decryption key obtained based on the license, and reproduces the content.

Abstract: To provide a MOSFET which is increased in substrate bias effect ? without increasing parasitic capacitance and junction leak current, the MOSFET includes: a gate electrode (104) formed on a semiconductor substrate (101) and an insulating film (103); a sidewall insulating film (106) covering the side surface of the gate electrode (104); and source/drain regions surrounded by the sidewall insulating film (106) and a shallow trench isolation (102) in a self-alignment manner, in which an impurity concentration of a first conductivity type which is the same type as a well-forming impurity has a profile becoming, in a lower direction of the gate electrode (104), lower in a channel formation region, then higher and again lower, and a high-concentration first conductivity type impurity region (110) is provided, in which the impurity concentration of the first conductivity type is formed to be low in the source/drain regions and to be high below the gate electrode (104) sandwiched between the source/drain regions.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent the thin film device formed by laser annealing from making, due to overheat, abnormal operations. Firstly, on a glass substrate 101. a heat insulating film, a silicon oxide film and an amorphous silicon film are formed in succession, and the amorphous silicon film is irradiated from above with a laser beam of an excimer laser. After being molten, the amorphous silicon film undergoes recrystallization to form a polycrystalline silicon film. Subsequently, using the polycrystalline silicon film as an active layer, a TFT is formed, and then a plastic substrate is bonded onto the TFT, and finally the glass substrate is peeled off by way of the heat insulating film, whereby a transfer of the TFT is completed. Because the heat insulating film is removed, abnormality caused by overheat at the time of operation is well prevented from occurring.

Abstract: Digital data is generated by sampling an analog input signal at a sampling frequency that is N times an A/D sampling frequency that is necessary in an A/D converter. N decimated data strings are generated by decimating the digital data at a ratio of 1/N. Based on the N decimated data strings, a processor produces a digital output signal.
