  • Patent number: 10140431
    Abstract: [Problem] The present invention attempts, using a terminal that does not have digital rights management (DRM) as a base, to generate encapsulated files from original files, by adding access rights thereto and encrypting the same, while ensuring not to leave unprocessed original files. [Solution] A file management system has an intranet having data storage means, an encapsulation server, and a user terminal that is capable of accessing the intranet and the encapsulation server. The user terminal has encapsulation request means that transmits an original file and access rights information to the encapsulation server and receives an encapsulated file, for which encapsulation has been completed. The user terminal has encapsulated file saving means that saves the encapsulated file in the data storage means, and automatic original file deletion means that deletes the original file upon saving of the encapsulated file.

  • Patent number: 7039630
    Abstract: An information search/presentation system includes a 3D image converter, landmark database, search engine, and 3D image browser. The 3D image converter outputs 3D image data on the basis of aerial photographs obtained by photographing a single area from different places, with the physical position of the area being specified. The landmark database stores a pair of a verbal expression and position information as a unit record the verbal expression pertaining to the name and contents of a landmark existing in the photographed area. The search engine outputs link information for page data including associated contents from a set of page data on public view in response to an input keyword. The 3D image browser creates a 3D stereoscopic image viewed from a viewpoint position designated by a user on the basis of the 3D image data and the viewpoint position, and presents the image to the user.

  • Patent number: 6934509
    Abstract: A satellite broadcasting system is disclosed wherein, when a broadcasting program is broadcast by satellite broadcasting, each viewer can receive a different broadcasting program depending upon the district in which the viewer is present. A broadcasting program is composed of an area designation part in which a list of areas in which the broadcasting program is to be broadcast is accommodated and broadcasting contents themselves. The broadcasting program is received by a radio wave reception section. A current position acquisition section detects the current position of a receiver. The current position is compared with an area to physical district coordination table and converted into an area name by a current area detection section.

  • Patent number: 6778808
    Abstract: In a route-adaptive on-demand radio communication system, a program selector (15) selects, from a plurality of broadcast programs broadcasted from a broadcasting apparatus (11), a matched one of the broadcast programs that matches the type information stored in a favorite storage unit (13) and the location information of one of a start point, transit points, and a destination point stored in a route storage unit (14). The matched broadcast program is stored in a broadcast program storage unit (16). A reproduction program selector (20) selects, as a selected broadcast program, the matched broadcast program stored in the broadcast program storage device if the matched broadcast program matches a current time instant held in a current time instant storage unit (17) and a current location held in a current location storage unit (18). The selected broadcast program is reproduced by a reproducing unit (19).
