  • Patent number: 9462417
    Abstract: To provide a system capable of estimating a location of an information communication terminal and to provide an information communication terminal used for the system, a system includes multiple information communication terminals and a management server. Each information communication terminal has an agent program installed thereon. When the information communication terminal is connected to the wired LAN, an terminal information sending unit sends terminal identification information to cause the management server to generate location information. Upon receiving a mode change instruction, a communication mode changing unit changes a mode to cause the information communication terminal to function as a pseudo access point. When the information communication terminal is not connected to the wired LAN, a radio wave intensity measuring unit measures an intensity of the carrier wave from the PAP.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8321549
    Abstract: A system for managing execution of actions corresponding to service configuration items in accordance with embodiments of the invention may include a discovery section for discovering information regarding a configuration item, and a repository for storing a set of data for each configuration item. The set of data may indicate at least one predetermined attribute of the configuration item, and a relation between the configuration item and other configuration items. An associating section may associate a service configuration item with one or more other configuration items that are objects of actions corresponding to the service configuration item. Finally, a determining section may determine whether execution of an action corresponding to a service configuration item is allowed.
