Abstract: An object is to provide an information processing apparatus and a communication system that are capable of observing communication settings. According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus is connected between a terminal device and a server apparatus that communicates with the terminal device via a network. The information processing apparatus includes a first communication unit, a second communication unit, and a control unit. The first communication unit is connected to a server apparatus via the network. The second communication unit is connected to the terminal device. The control unit is linked up to a communication management apparatus by the first communication unit, and is linked up to a terminal device by the second communication unit, after communication settings based on communication setting information, which indicates whether or not the terminal device can communicate with another terminal device, are completed.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus comprises a device interface, a network interface, a power supply part, a battery and a control part. A power supply part is configured to supply electric power from an external power supply. A control part is configured to: perform a conversion process on data from a terminal device, and transmit the data to a network; and when the power supply from the power supply part is stopped, transmit, to another information processing apparatus through the network interface, a first message indicating that a pass-through mode in which data is relayed between the terminal device and the network without being subjected to the conversion process is set, and set the pass-through mode.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a communication control device includes a first communication system connected between a first device and a network communication network, and a second communication system connected between the first device and the network communication network separately from the first communication system. The first communication system and the second communication system each include a controller. The controller executes switching such that one of the communication systems executes communication in the first communication mode, and when a problem is detected in the communication system that is executing communication in the first communication mode, the other communication system executes communication in the first communication mode.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a reader/writer includes an insertion portion and a support member. An information storage medium held by a person with fingers is inserted into the insertion portion. The support member supports the insertion portion on an installation surface by causing an insertion direction of the information storage medium with respect to the insertion portion to be lowered to the front to intersect with a horizontal plane. In the support member, an intersection angle between the insertion direction and the horizontal plane is set to a predetermined acute angle at which the fingers of the person do not interfere with the installation surface when the information storage medium is inserted into the insertion portion.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, an access control device includes a first communication interface, a second communication interface and a processor. The processor acquires, from the key device, an identifier functioning as the key identification information and a biometrics authentication result; transmits a confirmation request signal to the confirmation device, when the key identification information of the key device agrees with key identification information of a valid key and when the biometrics authentication result is an authentication failure; and permits access to the security device, upon receiving a confirmation response signal indicative of the access permission from the confirmation device in response to the confirmation request signal.

Abstract: A communication control device according to an embodiment includes a communication unit and a notification unit. The communication unit is configured to communicate with a first device and a second device, wirelessly communicate with at least one of the first device and the second device, and transmit data acquired by the first device to the second device. The notification unit is configured to cause the communication unit to transmit predetermined information to the second device when a state of communication with the first device is a predetermined state or behavior of the communication control device is predetermined behavior.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a communication control device is connected between a device and a network, and it includes a first communication unit, a second communication unit, and a controller. The first communication unit transmits and receives data to and from the device. The second communication unit transmits and receives data to and from the network. The controller receives data from the device via the first communication unit and determines based on the data whether the device is under attack. When it is determined that the device is under attack, the controller blocks communications with the network and acquires attack information regarding the attack on the device from the device via the first communication unit.
