Abstract: A computer management system attains, through one line, the uniform and steady system management through an agent such as monitoring of fault and power control in a computer connected by LAN as well as a public line, and system management for an off-state of the computer or abnormal operation state of the computer such as remote power control and notice and diagnosis of critical fault by the direct connection with a service processor through the line.

Abstract: In a networked camera system and a monitoring method thereof, each networked camera has camera information for discriminating the respective apparatus, and an index server, registering the camera information of the respective networked cameras therein, makes search for connection information to the networked camera corresponding thereto, responding to a monitoring target required from the networked monitor, upon the basis of the camera information registered, thereby transmitting it to the networked monitor. The networked monitor connects to a predetermined networked camera upon the basis of the connection information, so as to request a picked-up picture therefrom, thereby displaying the picture transmitted from the networked camera. The networked camera and the networked monitor make transmission of the picked-up picture through the mutual connection therebetween, but without passing through the index server.

Abstract: Hands-free operation is a prerequisite in wearable PCs; a problem in such PCs is that intuitive input or direct input such as pen input or touch panel input is impossible, so that a comfortable input operation cannot be performed. In order to solve this problem, the portable information device of the present invention comprises a portable main body part, and an HMD which is connected to this main body part, and which is mounted on the head. Furthermore, the abovementioned main body part comprises an input display part which displays to the outside image information consisting of a smaller amount of data than the image information displayed on the abovementioned HMD, and which inputs operating information from the outside on a displayed screen, an output part which outputs information to the abovementioned HMD, and a control part which controls the image information that is displayed on the abovementioned HMD on the basis of the operating information that is input in the abovementioned input display part.

Abstract: An end-user oriented, file encryption control apparatus and method involving simple manipulations. File encryption is performed by conducting intuitive drag and drop manipulation with respect to an icon modeled after a safe. From the password for user authentication, an encryption key used for file encryption and decryption is automatically generated. All manipulations concerning the encryption key are concealed from users. A user interface section for performing encryption and decryption by conducting intuitive drag and drop manipulation with respect to an icon modeled after a safe, an automatic encryption key generation section for automatically generating an encryption key from a password, and a file encryption processing section for conducting file encryption processing without conducting authentication using a password are included. A file encryption function excellent in manipulation convenience is thus provided.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a modem communicating with a remote console through a telephone line, an information processing apparatus communicating with the remote console through the modem, a service processor, a power supply continuously supplying power to the modem and the service processor, a power supply supplying power to the information processing apparatus according to commands from the service processor, and a switch connecting the modem to the service processor or the information processing apparatus in accordance with a switching signal from the service processor. The service processor controls the switch to connect the modem to the service processor when the information processing apparatus power supply is in the off state.

Abstract: A graphic display processing apparatus which includes a CPU, a VRAM and a display controller, a data operation unit, an access cycle generator, an address generator and a sequential transfer sequencer. The graphic display processing apparatus also includes a mask pattern generator, dot mask generator and data position transformer. In the graphic display process apparatus block transfer and character drawing are reformed at high speeds, thereby making a window system more practical and offering comfortable operational environment to the user.

Abstract: A multi-window system in multi-window environment includes a CPU for executing an application program for a window system and an application program for a non-window system for producing a display using the whole display screen, a standard-resolution display hardware for the non-window system, a high-resolution display system for the window system, and a window display component for displaying a picture of the application program for the non-window system corresponding to the standard-resolution hardware in window. High-speed graphics display of an existing application program can be attained in the window. The entire display picture of the existing application program can be displayed in the window at one time and the application program can be operated without scrolling thereof.
