  • Publication number: 20060109966
    Abstract: A security system capable of safely performing home device state check or operation. In the security system, a mobile telephone module of a mobile telephone transmits M-series data (call signal) to home device modules provided in home devices such as a door lock and home electric appliances. In response to this call, the home device module returns a home device ID to the mobile telephone module. The mobile telephone module authenticates the home device module according to the home device ID and after authentication, returns a mobile telephone ID and state check or operation command to the home device module. The home device module authenticates the mobile telephone module according to the mobile telephone ID. When this mutual authentication is complete, the home device module performs the home device state check or operation according to the command and returns the result to the mobile telephone module.

  • Patent number: 7016191
    Abstract: The invention improves reliability relating to the operating environment temperature and the operating time of a processor for management in a disk array device mounting the managing processor for managing the state of the device, and further realizes mounting having no bad influence on the temperature environment within the disk array device. The disk array device uses a dedicated PC for industry in the processor for management, and is constructed such that the processor for management and a computer for output used to output management information of this processor for management are separated. Further, the processor for management and the computer for output are arranged within a disk array box body in positions for preventing no flow of a ventilating wind within the disk array box body. Here, when the computer for output is used, the disk array device is set to a mode in which the computer for output is pulled out of the disk array box body and is further rotated and used.

  • Publication number: 20060003739
    Abstract: The present invention provides an authentication card inserted to a portable device. The authentication card 1 is inserted (installed) in a cellular phone 30 and the authentication card 2 is inserted (installed) in a PDA 40. The authentication card 1 comprises an identification code transmission unit 10 and the authentication card 2 comprises a usage restriction cancellation unit 20. The units 10 and 20 exchange the identification code by means of wireless signal and mutually authenticate the identification code mutually. In case that the PDA 40 is moved more than the predetermined distance from the cellular phone 30 and the reception level of signal from the unit 10 received by the unit 20 is smaller than the predetermined value, or the unit 20 can not authenticate the identification code of the unit 10, the unit 20 stops transmission of the usage restriction cancellation signal to the PDA 40.

  • Publication number: 20050250518
    Abstract: Non-reception-controlled area information is stored in the non-reception-controlled area storage section of the reception control device for each mobile device ID. When the reception control device receives the disconnection signal and position information from the mobile device in accordance with the mobile device moving away from the key terminal, the presence/absence determination section determines whether or not the mobile device is within the aforementioned area. As a result of the determination, if the current position of the mobile device is within the aforementioned area, control for enabling reception for the mobile device is performed, and if the current position is outside the aforementioned area, control for disabling reception for the mobile device is performed.

  • Publication number: 20050111136
    Abstract: Aligned disk drives are installed in a disk box nearly taking a rectangular shape. Every two of the disk boxes are paired and accommodated in a rack in a multi-stage form. Each pair of disk boxes are disposed with their exhaust planes opposed to each other with a gap therebetween. An air intake plane of each disk box opposite to the exhaust is disposed on a front or rear side of the rack. A draft path, having front and rear walls formed by gaps between disk boxes and side walls on left and right planes of the rack, is formed in the rack center. Exhaust fans disposed on top of the rack and having air intake ports nearly equivalent in dimension to a section of the draft path suck in air through the intake and exhaust planes and draft path, and exhaust the air outside the rack.
