Abstract: A relay apparatus is provided which is capable of properly executing beamforming for radio communication from the relay apparatus to a donor base station, while inhibiting occurrence of beam interference in its surrounding area as much as possible. A relay apparatus 20 includes: an amplitude and phase measurement unit 25 that measures an amplitude and phase of radio communication from a donor base station 30 to the relay apparatus 20; a beam adjuster 27 that performs beamforming by adjusting a combination of a plurality of antennas; and a base station judgment unit 29 that judges base stations; wherein the adjustment for the beamforming is made so that a relatively strong beam is directed towards the donor base station 30 and a relatively weak beam is directed towards base stations other than the donor base station 30.

Abstract: The fairness of radio communication between a donor base station and terminal devices is maintained. A relay apparatus 20 for relaying radio communication between one or more terminal devices 10 and a donor base station 30, wherein when the relay apparatus 20 receives a cell restriction instruction from the donor base station 30 to restrict a quantity of terminals capable of existing in a service area of a cell formed by the donor base station 30, the relay apparatus 20 executes processing for avoiding cell restriction operation on itself and transfers the cell restriction instruction received from the donor base station 30 to the terminal devices 10 existing in a service area of a cell formed by the relay apparatus itself.

Abstract: In order to implement a relay apparatus capable of suppressing frequency of handover which may occur between macro cell base stations, a relay apparatus 20 relays communication between a terminal device 10 and a macro cell base station 30 and establishes a connection to a specified macro cell base station 30 on the basis of connection point identification information for identifying the macro cell base station 30 which is a connection point; and even when the relay apparatus 20 receives a connection switching request form a core network side to switch the connection from a macro cell base station 30-1 to another macro cell base station 30-2, the relay apparatus 20 prohibits switching of the connection to the other macro cell base station 30-2 pursuant to the connection switching request.

Abstract: A relay apparatus is a relay apparatus that relays communication between a terminal device and macro cell base station in order to implement a relay apparatus capable of preventing a disconnection between the macro cell base station and the relay apparatus, wherein when starting a new connection for radio communication, the relay apparatus acquires identification information for identifying the other end of the radio communication, checks connectability information for defining whether connection to the other end of the radio communication can be established or not against the identification information, and determines whether the connection for the radio communication can be established or not.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a management application and a common application. The management application manages a counter. The common application is other than the management application. The management application causes the image forming apparatus to function as: a counter managing unit that manages the counter that counts a count of executions of specific processing by the common application; and an execution count unit that counts the count of executions using the counter managed by the counter managing unit.

Abstract: Provided is a document managing apparatus that can eliminate the complexity of operation related to designation of confidential information, and yet reliably prevents leakage of confidential information. First, a receiving circuit receives target files from a client terminal. Therefore, a file managing circuit manages, of the received target files, a file that is designated as confidential, having been subjected to output restriction, as a confidential designated file. In addition, the file managing circuit manages a file that is not designated as confidential, as a user file. In addition, the file analyzing circuit compares the user file with the confidential designated file. If the content of the user file is similar to the content of the confidential designated file at a rate equal to or higher than a certain value (for example, 80%), the file analyzing circuit applies output restriction to the user file.

Abstract: A device management apparatus includes a communication processing circuit and a service support processing circuit. The communication processing circuit receives device state information transmitted from a first operator. The device state information indicates device state information of the electronic device. The first operator performs solution work to a failure of the electronic device. The service support processing circuit determines a category into which the device state information is classified from the received device state information. The service support processing unit searches a database for a second operator or a candidate for the second operator. The second operator has solved a failure belonging to the determined category. The database stores operator information including a solution result of a failure of each operator.

Abstract: A glossary management device includes a read circuit, a storage circuit, an acquisition circuit, an analysis circuit, a term matching circuit, and a registration circuit. The storage circuit has a storage area for a glossary. The acquisition circuit acquires text data of a document if reading of the document is executed by a user. The analysis circuit performs analysis of the text data acquired by the acquisition circuit to identify a language of the document and parts of speech of text segments in the text data and extracts one or more text segments from the document based on the analysis. The term matching circuit performs matching for each of the extracted text segments against a public dictionary. The registration circuit adds to the glossary, each extracted text segment that does not match any entry term in the public dictionary.
