  • Patent number: 7543021
    Abstract: It is assumed that a presenter A makes an important statement at a scene 2 in a real-time conference. Participants B and C press a chapter insertion button at times t4 and t5 respectively (steps S1-1 and S1-2). A conference server turns back the time by a predetermined time from the times t4 and t5 (steps S2-1 and S2-2) and sets headings (manual insertion chapters) HCP2 and HCP3 at the turned-back times (t2 and t3). Alternatively, the conference server determines the time separator just before the time (namely, CP4) and sets a heading HCP1 at the time (S4). Accordingly, the heading is set before the scene 2 where the presenter A makes an important statement.

  • Patent number: 7516080
    Abstract: A collection request inputted at a consignor destination system is recorded on an electronic tag attached to freight and sent to a collection management system so as to be received. During collection of freight, information concerning collection is recorded on the electronic tag by means of a terminal unit and the collection information is sent to the collection management system. An in-base station freight information management system informs a freight information overall management system of the collection information and information concerning freight passing through the base station. The freight information overall management system acquires a transport history of the freight on the basis of the information sent from the in-base station freight information management system, calculates a delivery schedule of the freight and informs it to each in-base station freight information management system.
