  • Patent number: 10779132
    Abstract: A processor (103) in a wireless terminal (10) executes a communication service application to thereby perform an operation as a client for using a communication service. Further, in an abnormal situation where the wireless terminal (10) cannot access a server system (50) of an operator of the communication service, the processor (103) executes a predetermined activation procedure in the wireless terminal (10) without passing through the server system (50) to thereby activate a special account in the wireless terminal (10). This makes it possible, for example, to perform communication by the special account using an online service application installed in the wireless terminal during an abnormal situation where the wireless terminal cannot access the online service server.

  • Patent number: 10637789
    Abstract: A wireless terminal device (1) for use in a store-and-forward type wireless network includes a wireless communication unit (11), a memory (12), and a control unit (13). The memory (12) is coupled to the wireless communication unit (11) and is configured to store messages transferred via the wireless network. The control unit (13) is configured to adjust, based on first information, at least one of a maximum number and maximum retention time of messages stored in the memory (12). The first information relates to a degree of contribution of the wireless terminal device (1) to success in sending messages from a source node to a destination node via the wireless network. It is thus possible to provide, for example, an efficient memory control method suitable for a store-and-forward type wireless network.

  • Patent number: 10230449
    Abstract: A processor (102) implemented in a wireless terminal (1) is configured to perform gateway processing by executing a first application program (34) stored in a memory (19). The gateway processing includes: (a) receiving transmission data of other application programs (31-33); (b) selecting, from a plurality of communication interfaces (51-55), at least one communication interface to which the transmission data is to be transmitted; and (c) sending the transmission data to the selected at least one communication interface. This contributes, for example, to allowing an application program to easily communicate via a communication interface (i.e., communication path) conforming to a communication protocol that is additionally installed on a wireless terminal (e.g., smartphone).
