  • Patent number: 11115464
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a server apparatus includes a first reception unit, a second reception unit, a classification unit, a second criterion selection unit, a group determination unit, and an individual determination unit. The second criterion selection unit selects, for each group and as a second criterion, a first criterion that is most likely to satisfy from among first criteria that are associated with pieces of identification information of first client apparatuses included in the group. The group determination unit determines whether first acquired data satisfies a second criterion for the group including a first client apparatus that has transmitted the first acquired data.

  • Patent number: 10445023
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a communication apparatus includes: a hardware interface configured to connect to a device; first controlling circuitry configured to detect the device being connected to the hardware interface and to determine whether a first command has been received by the hardware interface in a first time period after detection of connection to the device; and communication circuitry configured to carry out wireless communication with a terminal. The first controlling circuitry carries out control to select a function for the terminal from a plurality of functions in accordance with whether the first command has been received in the first time period and provide the selected function for the terminal.
