Abstract: An in-vehicle apparatus is capable of connecting to wireless devices by using a plurality of wireless communication modes and includes a wireless device retrieval section configured to retrieve a connectable wireless device for each of the plurality of wireless communication modes, and a wireless communication mode display processing section, a display processing section, and a display device that are configured to display wireless communication modes corresponding to connectable wireless devices whose existence has been checked by the wireless device retrieval section.

Abstract: In an aspect, the present application is directed to managing traffic in a network. A capacity request is received, wherein the capacity request comprises a request for capacity on the network. The capacity request is evaluated to determine whether the capacity requested by the capacity request in view of a measure of currently in-use network capacity on the network would exceed a threshold level. If the threshold level would not be exceeded, the capacity request is fulfilled so that a corresponding network request can be granted for transmission over the network; and if the threshold level would be exceeded, retrieving and analyzing real-time capacity data to determine an available network capacity of the network to be compared to the capacity requested in the capacity request.
