  • Publication number: 20190104391
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal A performs near field communication with another mobile communication terminal B by a near field communication unit and obtains a communication distance with another mobile communication terminal B. An information acquisition unit acquires information on another mobile communication terminal B, information on the mobile communication terminal A, or both of the information when the communication distance to the other mobile communication terminal B is equal to or more than a threshold. An abnormality determination unit determines an abnormal state of the mobile communication terminal A based on information (position information, wearing information, or the like) acquired by the information acquisition unit. When the abnormality determination unit determines that the mobile communication terminal A is in the abnormal state, a lock unit locks the mobile communication terminal A, the other mobile communication terminal B or both of those mobile communication terminals.

  • Patent number: 9825728
    Abstract: A processor executes the following processes. An obtainment process obtains a first number of lines, which represents a number of lines that are deleted after changing, among lines that pass through the same line route. An extraction process extracts a line for which a first demand, which is accommodated before and after changing, does not exist. The extraction process further extracts lines in descending order of a band of the first demand from among lines including first demands until a total number of extracted lines reaches the first number of lines when the number of the extracted lines is smaller than the first number of lines. Then, a fixation process fixes a first demand accommodated in a line that has not been extracted. A deletion process deletes the extracted lines. A determination process determines an order of changing line routes of demands.
