Abstract: A mobile communication terminal having a phonebook with information corresponding to alternative communication services. The information can be entered remotely from another mobile communication terminal. When a sender selects a recipient and a service from the phonebook, the mobile phone displays the information with the phonebook. The sender selects the most convenient and available communication service for the selected recipient. In an alternative embodiment, a mobile communication network maintains communication statuses of a plurality of mobile communication terminals in a status database. Upon detection of a status change of one of the mobile communication terminals, a notifying portion notifies the other mobile communication terminals of the status change.

Abstract: When a new customer appears in a shop, the customer is registered in an advertisement server 1 with shop terminal 2. When the customer registers an advertiser in his buddy list, an advertisement is distributed to user terminal 4. Namely, by registering an advertisement of the advertiser in buddy list system 4 as if the advertisement of the advertiser is status information of the advertiser, the advertisement is distributed to the user terminal 4 via the buddy list system 3. To persuade a customer to register an advertiser in his buddy list, the advertiser provides an incentive for a customer registering the advertiser in his buddy list (hereinafter referred to as registration customer). Incentive is, for example, adding a premium to points granted to the customer according to purchase history.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dynamic model parameter identification system consisting of a parameter classifying part and a motion planning part. The parameter classifying part approximates the respective links forming the manipulator by means of a symmetrical and homogeneous virtual solid link, calculates the inertial parameters, and finally classifies the calculated inertial parameters into parameter groups. The motion planning part calculates the condition number for the parameter coefficient sub-matrix, and calculates the number of equilibriums which is shown by the quotient of the maximum and minimum values of the vector normal of the rows of the coefficient sub-matrix. The motion planning section then sets the motion for parameter identification so that the condition number and number of equilibriums are both below predetermined values.

Abstract: An actuator which carries a magnetic head of a disk memory seeks a track on the disk by being actuated by a pair of trapezoidal drive currents, which have no or less power spectrum at the frequency coinciding with the mechanical resonance frequency of the positioning mechanisms. A trapezoidal waveform whose ratio of an upper side to a bottom side is adjusted depending on seek stroke. The mechanical resonance frequency may be within the range of the power spectrum of the trapezoidal drive currents so long as it coincides with the characteristic frequency with a zero power spectrum. A constant velocity region which has no current flowing into the actuator between the first positive trapezoidal current and the second negative trapezoidal current is provided when the seek stroke is long.
