Abstract: One or more information processing apparatuses to process information are provided. The information processing apparatus includes: a division function that divides processing information into a plurality of pieces, under a division condition that designates parallel processing among the information processing apparatuses, the processing information indicating a data processing procedure from a plurality of start points to one or more end points; a determination function that uniquely determines an assignee of each piece of the processing information divided by the division function, as any of the information processing apparatuses; and an execution function that executes a process in the information processing apparatus determined by the determination function.

Abstract: The present invention includes acquiring an event point which is part of a reference waveform and which satisfies a predetermined condition, and extracting a singular point being part of the reference waveform in a period to which the acquired event point belongs, and has a value that indicates predetermined change, acquiring, when part of a target waveform corresponds to the event point, the part as a correspondence event point, and detecting a correspondence singular point in the period of the target waveform to which the correspondence event point belongs and corresponding to the singular point of the reference waveform, calculating a dissimilarity degree between a correction waveform generated based on the above four points and the reference waveform and the target waveform newly acquired, determining whether the target waveform has abnormality based on the dissimilarity degree, and outputting abnormality information.

Abstract: There is provided a computer system comprising a first network and a plurality of second networks. The first network includes an access point, a first communication device, a DHCP server and a first authentication server. Each of the plurality of second networks includes a second terminal device. The first authentication server: identifies which second network is associated with this first terminal device upon reception of an access request from the first terminal device; and send, to the first communication device, access control information that is used to control communication of the second terminal device included in the identified second network. The first communication device controls communication of the first terminal device based on the access control information received from the first authentication server.

Abstract: A user views contents by a terminal unit at a different place and bit rate in divided times and upon resumption of viewing, and resumed from an end position automatically. A content distribution control server includes a table to record the end position of the content and user ID, content ID and an end position upon interruption of the service. Upon resumption of the service, the end position is retrieved from the table and the content distribution is resumed from the end position. Further, upon resumption of the service, the control server reads in user information (the user position, the terminal unit used, the reproduction software, the bit rate and the like), so that the content distribution service is performed in the condition optimum to user's current utilization environment irrespective of user information used before interruption.
