Publication number: 20170330192Abstract: An electronic money system terminates communication to a management center indistinguishably from a case in which the communication to the management center is completed within a predetermined period when it is impossible to complete the communication to the management center within the predetermined period. By switching an operation mode, a predetermined portable terminal is used instead of a communication line to upload and download data. When it is impossible to obtain data required for processing through the communication line, processing is performed based on data possessed up until that time.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2017Publication date: November 16, 2017Inventors: Yasuo Takeshima, Fumio Kubono, Hiroshi Abe, Kazuo Omori, Fumio Tsuyama, Hiroshi Nakayama

Patent number: 7523199Abstract: There is provided an information image utilizing system for setting in detail access rights with respect to performing communications and sending and receiving information through a user information image, which specifies a communication destination user or the like and performs communications and sending and receiving information, and performing authentication based on such access rights. A client (105) requests an information image managing server (102) to provide ownership information of a user information image of its own. The information image managing server (102) extracts user IDs of owners of the user information image and attribute information of copy information image data corresponding to those owners from an information image managing table. The server (102) sends the user IDs and the attribute information to the client (105).Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2003Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Fumio Tsuyama, Noriyuki Murata

Publication number: 20030158893Abstract: An information management system according to the present invention provides a new communication tool and community space. An information image card which contains image data expressing a sender who sends information and related information such as a recommended URL and the e-mail address of the sender is distributed to a plurality of users. The recipient user uses the information image card as a portal tool for obtaining information by using client software in a computer, then obtains the information contained in the information image card, and carries out a function attached to the information image card. In this case, detailed information related to the information image card is monistically managed by an information image card management server and the detailed information is push-distributed to the recipient when the client software is started.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2003Publication date: August 21, 2003Inventors: Masashige Komatsu, Fumio Tsuyama, Masako Aizawa, Yoshiaki Sawada
