  • Patent number: 10460587
    Abstract: Radio wave information is observed in a predetermined environment. Information related to the radio wave is compared to new radio wave information. In a case where a result of the comparison satisfies a predetermined condition, a user is provided with a predetermined function. In an embodiment, positional information showing a position where the radio wave information is acquired and a time stamp is recorded for comparison, and in a case where the newly acquired radio wave information is radio wave information corresponding to a suspicious-person, a warning is issued to a user. In an embodiment, in a case where predetermined pieces of home radio wave information are not detected within a predetermined period, a system is operated to manage a house.

  • Publication number: 20180248864
    Abstract: In a content supply system, in order to use a streaming server to perform a live distribution, a user PC used makes a reservation for a time zone, etc. to a server reservation control center. When the user PC sends desired reservation information to the server reservation control center via the Internet, if the reservation is accepted, a reservation ID only used for authentication of the reservation is created and sent from the server reservation control center to the user PC via the Internet. When a distribution request is sent from the user PC to the streaming server, authentication processing using this reservation ID is performed.
