Abstract: An apparatus and method for computing resources existing in domestic network systems to be utilized with maximum efficiency. Condition of the connection of client apparatuses to a domestic network and overall computing resources of the domestic network are controlled by a personal computer functioning as a private server. When a personal digital assistant (PDA) outputs a request to a personal computer for downloading image data on a server, the image data is downloaded and stored in a hard disk area owned by the personal computer and offered to the PDA. A connection between the client apparatuses and the domestic network is constantly monitored. Even when any of the client apparatuses is provisionally disconnected from the network, proper service is continuously rendered by applying the computing resources offered to the client apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention has enabled computing resources existing in domestic network systems to be utilized with a maximum efficiency. Actual condition of the connection of client apparatuses to a domestic network and overall computing resources of the domestic network are integrally controlled by a personal computer functioning itself as a private server. When a PDA outputs a request to a personal computer for downloading image data on a server, the image data is downloaded and stored in a hard disk area owned by the personal computer and offered to the PDA. A connected condition of the client apparatuses to the domestic network is constantly monitored.

Abstract: A SiOC film 7 exposed at the bottom of a contact hole 11 is changed to an altered layer 12 after the contact hole 11 is formed, so that a selection ratio of the altered layer 12 and a semiconductor substrate 1 can be increased and the altered layer 12 can be selectively removed by etching. Thus it is possible to suppress an amount of etching on a base substrate and form a contact while suppressing leakage from the substrate even when stacked layers are displaced from each other.
