  • Publication number: 20240089344
    Abstract: A transmitting terminal can transmit a content held by itself to a specific receiving terminal having no email software as if using a mailer. The transmitting terminal (10) and the receiving terminal (20) are connected to a delivery server (30) via a network (4). The delivery server (30) comprises: a database (36) for registering the device ID that specifies the receiving terminal (20); a content storage (39) for temporarily storing a content transmitted from the transmitting terminal (10); and table (33, 37) for managing contents separately on a per device ID basis of the receiving terminal. The delivery server (30), when receiving a request from the receiving terminal (20), refers to the tables (33, 27) and transmits to the receiving terminal (20) a content, the transmission destination of which corresponds to the device ID of the receiving terminal (20).

  • Patent number: 10586421
    Abstract: A light guide plate presents a plurality of patterns via prisms illuminated by light sources aligned along one sidewall of the light guide plate. Each light source corresponds to a different pattern. A storage unit stores lighting sequence information and a controller controls the turning on and off of the plurality of light sources in accordance with the lighting sequence information, thereby illuminating the patterns. Visible light emitted from the light sources to enters the light guide plate via an incidence surface. The prisms making up the patterns reflect only the visible light emitted from a light source corresponding to a particular pattern.
