Abstract: A content distribution system 100 includes user equipment 110, an application server system 120, and a connection control system 130. The user equipment 110 transmits a determination request of requesting determination of a communication bandwidth to the system 120 before transmission of a transmission request for establishing a connection for receiving content data. The system 120 acquires equipment attribute information representing the ability of the user equipment 110 based on the determination request, determines a communication bandwidth based on the equipment attribute information, and transmits the communication bandwidth to the user equipment 110. The user equipment 110 transmits a content transmission request including the received communication bandwidth to the system 130. The system 130 establishes a connection having the communication bandwidth included in the received content transmission request.

Abstract: A content distribution system 100 includes a user terminal 110, an application server system 120, and a connection control system 130. The system 120 acquires terminal attribute information representing the capability, of the user terminal 110, of outputting content based on content data, and selects content data based on the terminal attribute information. The system 130 establishes a connection having a communication bandwidth necessary for transmitting the selected content data from the system 120 to the user terminal 110. The system 120 transmits the selected content data to the user terminal 110 using the established connection.

Abstract: A content delivery system 1 is equipped with: a maximum communication bandwidth acquisition part 101 configured to acquire a maximum value of a communication bandwidth necessary for transmitting content data identified by content identification information included in playlist information including plural pieces of content identification information for identifying content, as a maximum communication bandwidth; a connection establishment part 102 configured to establish a connection having the acquired maximum communication bandwidth between an application server system and user equipment; and a content transmission part 103 configured to transmit the content data identified by the content identification information included in the playlist information by using the established connection from the application server system to the user equipment.

Abstract: To a correspondence information storage, correspondence information establishing a correspondence between an information processing apparatus in an available state and a communication terminal is registered. When a user issues a call by use of a communication terminal 11 to a communication terminal 12, call controllers 10-A and 10-B detect call-issuing-side and call-termination-side communication terminals 11 and 12. A correspondence information managing apparatus 20 retrieves correspondence information pieces of the communication terminals 11 and 12 from the correspondence information storage. The call controllers 10-A and 10-B send, when the correspondence information managing apparatus 20 retrieves both of the correspondence information pieces of the communication terminals 11 and 12, an availability notification indicating availability of an information processing apparatus of a call peer to information processing apparatuses 21 and 22 associated with the communication terminals 11 and 12.

Abstract: When the number of connections which can be simultaneously established between a server unit and client units is limited in the server unit, the server unit according to the present invention enables to simultaneously conduct two-way communication with many client units. There are provided a plurality of client units, a server unit, and a repeater, wherein each of the plural client units includes a client-side communication module to transmit data to the server unit via an uplink connection established between itself and the server unit, the server unit includes a server-side communication module to send data to be sent to the client unit via a junction line to the repeater, and the repeater includes a repeater-side communication module to transmit the data sent from the server unit to the plural client units via downlink connections established between itself and the plural client units.

Abstract: A disk reproducing method and apparatus in which, when a piece of music is reproduced, its associated video data is reproduced in the form of a still picture image. In the inter-music portion between the reproduction of pieces of music, the video data corresponding to the sequentially reproduced piece of music is searched and then stored in a memory for reproduction as a still picture when the forthcoming piece of music is reproduced.

Abstract: A record player capable of being installed into a wall comprises a housing integrally attached to the record player and provided with an opening in the front thereof so that the inner portion of the record player may be seen therethrough. An ilumination means comprising a light source and a light scattering plate is attached to the inner portion of the record player for purposes of illumination. The record player thus constructed is made automatically operable by a remote control means by employing a suitable tonearm position setting apparatus.

Abstract: The tonearm position setting apparatus for a record player is designed for use with a linearly movable tonearm base. A light source is movable substantially parallel to the movement direction of the tonearm base. A position setting device is interlocked with the light source and adapted to be moved so as to maintain a constant positioning relationship with the light source. A position detecting device is provided in the tonearm base. A semi-transparent mirror is positioned intermediate the loci of the light source and a pick-up stylus carried by the tonearm. The record disc is viewed through the mirror, and the light source is moved so that the virtual image thereof is positioned at the desired location for the commencement of playing the record disc. Thereafter, the tonearm base is moved until the position detecting device detects the position of the position setting device, at which point the tonearm with the stylus is lowered onto the record disc.
