  • Patent number: 8253544
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method of remote control which can enable real time operation of a device in home from a terminal device at remote location through a network are provided. A first server communicates with a terminal device through the Internet and generates device control data for controlling the device. A second server communicates with the device in a predetermined manner to acquire and store a specific address of the device, generates transmission data for transmission of the received device control data from the first server to the device based on the specific address, and transmits the transmission data to the device. This allows real time control of the device from the terminal device through the network to be realized.

  • Patent number: 7839299
    Abstract: A remote control system detects an operating status of various devices through the Internet in real time. A remote controller, which enables a terminal device to control an operation of a device through a network, acquires and stores a latest address of the device by communicating with the device at predetermined time intervals through the network. A status notification request referring to the stored address is transmitted through the network. In response, the remote controller receives status information from the device, stores the status information received from the device, and transmits the stored status information to the terminal device through the network.

  • Patent number: 7818125
    Abstract: Based on a transfer request from a portable terminal though an input operation or communication, a two-dimensional code is generated, the code containing information of a scale rate of map information for guidance displayed on the in-vehicle terminal and a current position of a vehicle. The two-dimensional code is displayed on a terminal display unit together with a region of the map information corresponding to a region to be displayed on the portable terminal. When the portable terminal captures the two-dimensional code with an image pickup unit, the portable terminal recognizes the scale rate and the current position with a code analyzer, receives a region of the map information corresponding to the scale rate and containing at least the current position from the server unit and displays the information on the portable terminal display unit.
