Abstract: When a connection control device determines that the connection control device is in a congested state, based on whether a usage of at least one of hardware resources necessary for call processing to establish a call connection is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, the CPU of the connection control device forcefully disconnects an established call connection after a connection available time elapses, and, when an INVITE message is transmitted from a terminal device, the CPU of the connection control device receives the INVITE message, calculates the wait time, creates and transmits a response message stating the wait time, and stores the message as a reserved call on a reservation list.

Abstract: An IP version storage section included in the server stores an IP version implemented in the destination terminal under the control of the server. A message receiving section receives a message from the source terminal. An IP version acquisition section acquires the IP version implemented in the destination terminal corresponding to the message from the IP version storage section. An IP version comparison section compares an IP version which is implemented in the source terminal and which is included in the message with the IP version which is implemented in the destination terminal and which is acquired by the IP version acquisition section. A comparison result sending section sends a result of the comparison by the IP version comparison section to an address converter which makes an address conversion so that IP versions of data frames exchanged between the source terminal and the destination terminal will match.

Abstract: The number of simultaneous connections to a SIP server is increased without degrading overall performance. If it is judged that, when a newly requested call is accepted, the number of calls whose call control data is stored in a call processing memory or the amount of the call control data stored in the call processing memory would exceed an upper limit, the call control data stored in the call processing memory for a busy call is saved in an external storage device. As the frequency of occurrence of an event is low in the case of a busy call, it becomes possible to accept the new call without degrading overall performance.

Abstract: A server by which time taken to establish a session can be shortened by reducing the number of messages exchanged between a destination terminal and the server and by which the manufacturing costs of terminals can be reduced. An IP version storage section included in the server stores an IP version implemented in the destination terminal under the control of the server. A message receiving section receives a message for establishing a session between a source terminal and the destination terminal from the source terminal. An IP version acquisition section acquires the IP version implemented in the destination terminal corresponding to the message from the IP version storage section. An IP version comparison section compares an IP version which is implemented in the source terminal and which is included in the message with the IP version which is implemented in the destination terminal and which is acquired by the IP version acquisition section.

Abstract: A laser radar scanningly irradiates electromagnetic waves around a subject vehicle detects the electromagnetic waves reflected from objects around the subject vehicle, and outputs detected distances from the subject vehicle to the objects in the respective directions of scanning irradiation. A recognition unit detects, based on the detection results of the laser radar, a relative position and a relative speed of each of the objects around the subject vehicle with respect to the subject vehicle. The recognition unit stores whether or not detection points data (i.e., a direction of scanning irradiation and a detected distance in that direction) exists and determines attributes such as positions, sizes, etc., of the objects lying around the subject vehicle. In coordination with the recognition unit, an object tracker calculates relative speeds as between the vehicle and detected objects, with particular reference to objects exhibiting a greater difference in relative speed over time.
