Abstract: A communication terminal, a communication method, and a communication terminal control program stored in a non-transitory recording medium, each of which receives, from a first transmission device, first location data indicating a location at which the first transmission device is located, and transmits the first location data and terminal identification data that identifies the communication terminal, to a second transmission device, which is a separate device from the first transmission device.

Abstract: An information management system is disclosed that includes a wireless terminal configured to store identification data of the wireless terminal used to identify the wireless terminal in the system; a broadcasting device configured to transmit position data which represents a position at which the device is located for a predetermined area; and a server configured to store position data indicating a position at which the terminal is located. The terminal includes a collection unit configured to collect environmental data which represents a state of an environment around the terminal; a receiving unit configured to receive the position data from the device when the terminal is located in the predetermined area; and a transmission unit configured to transmit, via the device, to the server, the identification of the terminal, the position data received from the device, and the environmental data collected by the collection unit.

Abstract: A communication device communicating position information indicative of a position of the communication device with a wireless terminal, includes: a storage section configured to store the position information and a certificate to guarantee correctness of the position information, the certificate being issued upon the position information being authenticated; a sending section configured to send the position information; and a control section configured to control the sending section so that the position information stored in the storage section is sent to the wireless terminal along with the certificate.

Abstract: A broadcasting device includes a broadcasting unit configured to broadcast positional information indicating an indoor position of the broadcasting device to a predetermined area, wherein the broadcasting unit broadcasts range information indicating the size of the predetermined area together with the positional information.

Abstract: A communication apparatus which transmits information on a position at which the communication apparatus is positioned is disclosed. The communication apparatus includes a detecting unit which detects one of a first signal which is detected when the communication apparatus is fixed to an installed location and a second signal which is detected when the communication apparatus is brought to a state in which it is not fixed to the installed location; a storage unit which stores therein the position information; and a control unit which erases the position information stored in the storage unit when the second signal is detected after the first signal is detected by the detecting unit.

Abstract: A position information management system is disclosed, including a communication apparatus which includes a storage unit which stores therein position information of the communication apparatus; a wireless terminal which includes identification information and which communicates with the communication apparatus; and a management server which manages a position of the wireless terminal, wherein the management server further includes a position information receiving unit which receives the identification information and the position information from the communication apparatus; a storage unit which stores therein the communication apparatus and registered position information of the communication apparatus; a determining unit which determines whether the position information received by the position information receiving unit and stored in the storage unit and the registered position information match; and a management unit which manages a position of the wireless terminal with the identification information an

Abstract: A distribution apparatus includes a distribution unit configured to distribute position data indicating a position of the distribution apparatus, a reception unit configured to receive data from a communication terminal that received the position data distributed by the distribution unit, the data received from the communication terminal including terminal identification data for identifying the communication terminal and the position data, and a transmission unit configured to transmit terminal setting data of the communication terminal. The reception unit is configured to receive the terminal setting data from a position data management system according to an inquiry transmitted from the communication terminal.

Abstract: A broadcasting device includes a broadcasting unit configured to broadcast positional information indicating the position of the broadcasting device; and a receiving unit configured to receive, from a communication terminal receiving the broadcast positional information, terminal identification information for identifying the communication terminal and the positional information.

Abstract: A user interface device includes a display panel; a display-panel control unit that displays, at appropriate locations on the display panel, various types of display information and function buttons to which functions are allotted; an operation-location detecting unit that detects a user's operation performed in contact with or close to a surface of the display panel so as to acquire an operation location; a feedback output unit that outputs predetermined feedback that gives a touch sensation to a user; a determining unit that determines whether the operation location is a display location of the function button displayed on the display panel; and a control unit that, when the determining unit determines that the operation location is the display location of the function button, causes the feedback output unit to output predetermined feedback that is associated with the function button.

Abstract: An automotive display apparatus displays synthetically an ordinary information like a vehicle speed value and a warning information like a remaining fuel amount by using a half mirror as a close range view and a distant range view. A control means determines contents of the ordinary information and the warning information on the basis of input signals from a plurality of sensors. When the warning information is displayed, the warning information is provided at a position that the warning information overlaps with the ordinary information in the line direction of a driver's sight and the warning information is away from the ordinary information by a predetermined distance to enable the driver to notice and observe the warning information easily. At the same time, the ordinary information at the overlap portion of the ordinary and warning information in the line direction of the driver's sight is inhibited from being displayed.
