  • Patent number: 11165869
    Abstract: An arrangement to direct a packet sent out from an arbitrary apparatus connected to a network to a predetermined authentication server without changing the configuration of a computer network. A packet transmitted from apparatus, such as a personal computer, newly connected to the network, is guided to an authentication server via communication control apparatus. The communication control apparatus replaces a MAC address of the destination addresses of another server, which is included in the ARP cache of the personal computer, with the MAC address of the communication control apparatus to guide the packet from the personal computer to the communication control apparatus. The communication control apparatus further transmits the received packet to a predetermined authentication server.

  • Publication number: 20180225955
    Abstract: A mobile electronic device that more effectively ensures the safety of the user is provided. A mobile electronic device includes a communication interface configured to transmit a signal, a sound output interface configured to output a sound, an operation detector configured to detect a user operation, and a controller configured to perform a first operation or a second operation when a predetermined operation is detected by the operation detector. In the first operation, the controller causes the sound output interface to output a predetermined alert sound and causes the communication interface to transmit a predetermined alert signal. In the second operation, the controller does not cause the sound output interface to output the predetermined alert sound and causes the communication interface to transmit the predetermined alert signal.
