Abstract: A secure electronic settlement by an easy operation is enabled even with any terminal device and any network in any country. Balance information of a user, predetermined voice information that can identify a user, an arbitrary keyword, and a voiceprint are stored in advance in a database of a server in association with a telephone number of the user, and when a remitter user carries out remittance to a recipient user, the server sends out voice guidance including predetermined voice information registered in the database corresponding to the telephone number of a recipient terminal sent from the recipient terminal requesting the remittance or a telephone number of the recipient terminal inputted by the remitter carrying out the remittance to the recipient using a voice response function to a remitter terminal, thereby enabling intuitive confirmation of a recipient by a remitter.

Abstract: Techniques are generally described to associate user activities with communication connection services. Example techniques may include obtaining user activity data associated with user activities in at least one online service provider, where the user activity data is associated with user identity data, and determining a communication connection service provided to a terminal device based at least in part on the user activity data.

Abstract: A user authentication method is applied to a user authentication apparatus for authentication using a unique ID that is information unique to a communication apparatus. The method includes acquiring a user ID as information identifying a user, and detecting a unique ID corresponding to the user ID from a user ID list. The method also includes making a call with a predetermined number of rings to a communication apparatus having the unique ID. Additionally, the method includes receiving a callback made by a communication apparatus after a predetermined number of rings of the call in response to the call. In addition, the method includes determining whether a unique ID of the communication apparatus having made the callback matches the unique ID of the communication apparatus to which the call has been made, and determining, if there is a match, that a user having the user ID is an authorized user.

Abstract: To reduce the operations required by a user to perform user authentication using the user's communication apparatus, a call module (4d, 5d, 6d) acquires, upon receiving a user ID, a unique ID corresponding to the user ID and being of a user communication apparatus (11) by using a user ID matching list (4b, 5b, 6b), and also randomly selects one originating number with an originating number selector (4c, 5c, 6c). The call module (4d, 5d, 6d) makes a call with a predetermined number of rings to the user communication apparatus (11) having the unique ID corresponding to the user ID by using the selected originating number and via a system communication apparatus (13, 14, 15).

Abstract: A ROM 51 stores a plurality of volume set values and a plurality of level change rates corresponding to each other and an IC 5 accepts a volume set value specified by a user when carrying out volume setting. Moreover, it is decided whether a reproducing object is a CD or a DVD depending on a decision signal output from a loader section 1. A level change rate corresponding to the volume set value is output to an IC 2 if the reproducing object is the DVD, and the level change rate corresponding to the volume set value is adjusted at a predetermined adjusting rate and the level change rate thus adjusted is output to the IC 2 if the reproducing object is the CD. The IC 2 changes the level of an analog signal indicative of a voice input from the loader section 1 at the level change rate and outputs the signal to an amplifying circuit 3.

The holder is fitted with the boss and the rail ribs are engaged with the notches, so that the holder is fixed to the boss with respect to the rotational direction of the screw, with a tightening torque applied to the boss being distributed over the holder.

Abstract: A packing box has a bottom surface formed double by folding flaps 11 through 14 extending downward from respective four side surfaces 1 through 4 such that mutually-opposing flaps are folded in a pair. Cushioning members 31 through 34 are individually disposed at four corners of an inner bottom of the packing box. Smaller flaps 51, 52 are formed in the flaps 11 and 12 which constitute an inner bottom surface of the double bottom surface. Notches 51a, 51b, 52a, and 52b are formed in the smaller flaps 51, 52 to come into contact with the corresponding outer shapes of the cushioning members 31, 32, 33, and 34 when the smaller flaps 51, 52 are raised. By raising the smaller flaps 51, 52, the cushioning members 31 through 34 are held between the side surfaces 1 through 4 of the box and the notches 51a, 51b, 52a, and 52b.

Abstract: A variable delay circuit is disclosed comprising first and second clock delay sections, first and second phase comparison circuits, first and second data delay sections, and a selector. The first and second clock delay sections delay a clock signal to generate first and second delayed clock signals. The first and second phase comparison circuits respectively detect a phase difference between the clock signal and the first delayed clock signal and a phase difference between the clock signal and the second delayed clock signal. The first and second phase comparison circuits then respectively supply first and second delay control signals indicating the phase differences to the first and second clock delay sections so as to equalize the delay times of the clock delay sections to a period of the clock signal. The first and second data delay circuits delay a data signal.
