Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires pieces of information including information related to a vehicle, information related to the environment inside and outside the vehicle, and information related to a driver on board the vehicle. A determination unit determines priorities of the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of a service or the like used by the driver among services or the likes provided using information accumulated in a server device. A selection unit selects a piece of information to be transmitted to the server device from among the pieces of information acquired by the acquisition unit on the basis of the priorities determined by the determination unit. A communication unit transmits the piece of information selected by the selection unit to the server device.

Abstract: A storage unit is provided corresponding to a symbol number of a resource element (RE) in a control channel region and stores a frequency number to indicate a resource element group (REG). A group detector detects a storage unit that stores the smallest frequency number of the frequency numbers, acquires the symbol number corresponding to the detected storage unit, and detects a REG by the acquired symbol number and the smallest frequency number. A mapping unit maps a control channel to the REG detected by the group detector. An adder adds a next frequency number value to indicate the next REG to which the control channel is mapped to the storage unit corresponding to the symbol number acquired by the group detector.

Abstract: When a certain file is updated, a document management server determines whether a “registration state information mail” is set for that file, and after that, performs “self information mail” setting processing. Computer requests the document management server to transmit an electronic file, and prints and displays the electronic file according to an operation definition corresponding to the file format of the received electronic file. MFP inquires whether the document to be displayed is an electronic file stored in the document management server or an electronic file recorded on an external storage medium. Further, in response to an operation of a touch panel, MFP changes a magnifying power of display data, and rotates an image to change the direction by setting the central position of the rotation to a display center of an image being currently displayed.

Abstract: A power assigning method for a wireless base station apparatus that includes a main system for performing normal packet communications between the wireless base station apparatus and mobile stations and includes a subsystem for performing high speed packet communications from the wireless base station apparatus to the mobile stations is disclosed. In the method, the wireless base station apparatus assigns, as transmission power, a part of power obtained by subtracting power being used by the main system from a maximum transmission power of the wireless base station apparatus to initial transmission for the high speed packet communications for a mobile station, and increases transmission power for retransmission by a predetermined amount. When the transmission power cannot be increased by the predetermined amount, transmission power for the retransmission is increased by decreasing power used for the main system.

Abstract: A cell disassembly unit, cell assembly unit, and clock reproduction method which enables a clock of a source signal multiplexed and transmitted to be stably reproduced even in a situation where a synchronization clock of a transmission network is unstable. The source signal multiplexed into cells is inputted in accordance with the clock which is asynchronous to a network. A timing information separation circuit included in a cell disassembly unit separates transmission timing information which is obtained by converting transmission timing in each constant period of the clock of the source signal by the use of transmission timing of a synchronization clock of the network from the cells received. A timing information replacement circuit accepts the transmission timing information separated, averages differentials between adjacent pieces of transmission timing information every predetermined period, and replaces the transmission timing information on the basis of an average differential.
