  • Patent number: 10171211
    Abstract: A wireless communication system is a wireless communication system that adopts backoff control. The wireless communication system is provided with: a first wireless communication apparatus; and a second wireless communication apparatus. The first wireless communication apparatus transmits a first signal to the second wireless communication apparatus with a first period, and the second wireless communication apparatus transmits a second signal to the first wireless communication apparatus with a delay of a fixed time, which is shorter than one period of the first period, from a time point at which the first wireless communication apparatus transmits the first signal.

  • Patent number: 9413537
    Abstract: An information update system is provided with a vehicle (10), a plurality of charger (20), and a server apparatus (30). The vehicle applies a first signature to position information associated with the vehicle, and transmits to a charger when a battery is charged. The charger applies a second signature to the position information with the first signature applied thereto. The charger further transmits, to the vehicle, identification information associated with the charger with a third signature applied thereto. The vehicle further applies a fourth signature to the identification information. The vehicle or the charger transmits to the server apparatus the position information with the first signature and the second signature applied thereto, and the identification information with the third signature and the fourth signature applied thereto. The server apparatus updates stored position information on the basis of the transmitted position information and the transmitted identification information.

  • Publication number: 20120200951
    Abstract: A duplication device is provided. When content is duplicated by recording, in a recording medium of a recording destination, the same content as content recorded in a recording medium of a duplication source, even if a reading speed is slower than a writing speed, the duplication device can reduce a duplication time as much as possible. The duplication device 100 reads a reading portion of content from an optical disc D in which content is recorded, and in parallel to this reading, downloads a transmission portion which includes a portion of content other than the reading portion, from a distribution server 200, and records the read reading portion and the downloaded transmission portion in the hard disc 106 at a speed faster than a speed of reading the reading portion.
