  • Patent number: 10231004
    Abstract: One embodiment includes a recording application executed at a processor on a server. The recording application receives a request to record electronic content. The request is received from a client device via a first network connection between the server and the client device. A second network connection between a content provider and the client is used to provide the electronic content from the content provider to the client device. In response to receiving the request, the recording application establishes a third network connection between the server and the content provider. The recording application stores the electronic content provided via the third network connection. The electronic content is stored to a computer-readable medium.

  • Patent number: 9692793
    Abstract: A network device may receive an incoming call for a user device requesting a communication session corresponding to a particular communication session type, where the user device is attached to a first access network. The network device may identify the first access network and determine whether a first centralized network supports the communication session type in the first access network. When the first centralized network supports the communication session type in the first access network, the network device may designate the first centralized network to service the incoming call. When the first centralized network does not support the communication session type in the first access network, the network device may designate a second centralized network to service the incoming call.

  • Patent number: 9609508
    Abstract: A remote system allows a user terminal to execute a program other than those preliminarily stored in the user terminal through remote operation of the user terminal even if a user who receives remote operation cannot operate the user terminal. In the remote system 1 composed of the user terminal 10 to be remotely operated and a remote server 100, the user terminal 10 receives a remote message through a public line network 3 and accesses a destination remote server 100 written in the remote message, regardless of operation input from a user. The user terminal 10 executes a program read out from the accessed remote server, regardless of operation input from a user.

  • Patent number: 9071641
    Abstract: An information providing system includes a terminal and a server. The information providing system includes: an information database configured to record registration data in relation to position data; a position data acquiring section configured to acquire a position data of the terminal; a state acquiring section configured to acquire a state data indicative of a state of the terminal; and a region determining section configured to determine a specified retrieval region of the registration data based on the state data. An information extracting section is configured to extract the registration data in the specified retrieval region from the information database as browser data, and a display section is configured to display the browser data.

  • Patent number: 8452892
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a scheduling apparatus sends queries to communication modules in buildings and receives facility information measured at monitor-control points from the communication modules. As for each communication module, a network address, a waiting time to receive the facility information after sending a query, and a connection with the monitor-control points, are stored. When a service request indicating at least one monitor-control point is received, queries each including the network address of a communication module connected with a monitor-control point indicated by the service request, are generated. A priority of each query is decided based on the waiting time corresponding to the communication module. Each query is added to a first send queue or a second send queue based on the priority. When queries are sent, a timing to send from the first send queue is same as or earlier than a timing to send from the second send queue.
