Abstract: A service activity support method includes, in response to receiving a request for support of a first service activity transmitted from a first terminal device positioned in a specific area determined virtually in a map, identifying a second terminal device positioned in the specific area, the second terminal device being different from the first terminal device, and transmitting information regarding the request to the identified second terminal device.

Abstract: The right for correlating a region or an existence with a virtual region in a virtual world structured in for example the Internet is sold, bought, lent, or rented. For example, when a buyer bought a virtual region from a seller, the virtual region of the seller is correlated with a virtual region of the buyer in a link method, a paste method, or a projection method.

Abstract: A traffic monitoring system includes a communication apparatus for communicating with each terminal apparatus via a plurality of communication lines; and a monitor apparatus for monitoring a traffic of each terminal apparatus, wherein the communication apparatus establishes sessions with the terminal apparatuses by logical lines for each communication line; and the monitor apparatus monitors a traffic of each terminal apparatus for each flow type in each logical line.

Abstract: The right for correlating a region or an existence with a virtual region in a virtual world structured in for example the Internet is sold, bought, lent, or rented. For example, when a buyer bought a virtual region from a seller, the virtual region of the seller is correlated with a virtual region of the buyer in a link method, a paste method, or a projection method.

Abstract: A device presents selling information about a virtual region of a selling object in a virtual world. An accepting device accepts a message that represents that a buyer will buy the virtual region of the selling object and information about the buyer. An executing device transfers the right for correlating a processing object with the virtual region of the selling object to the buyer, using at least one of a virtual existence and a virtual region in the virtual world, a virtual existence and a virtual region in another virtual world, and a real existence and a real region in a real world as the processing object. The correlating device correlates identification information of the processing object with identification information of the virtual region of the selling object.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to enable an apparatus to perform a status analysis indicated by sensor data of a device, etc. based on an expression in a natural language, and to enable an apparatus to operate a device, etc. by an instruction based on a natural language, using a data process technology for handling data with a word. Data groups, which are obtained by directly classifying the input from sensor 1 or obtained after processing this input, are stored in a database 6, in which a word is attached to each of the data groups. On receiving a sensor input, a characteristic is extracted from the sensor input by a characteristic extractor unit 2, and then the sensor input is classified by a characteristic comparison/classification unit 3 using the database 6. If the sensor input does not belong to any of the data groups in the database 6, the sensor input is temporarily stored in a database 7 with no word.

Abstract: A service database stores a set of area information and a service program for each individual service. When position information of a mobile station and service selection information are received, the service database is searched to retrieve a service program specified by the service selection information and corresponding area information. When the mobile station is present in the area represented by the area information, the service program is executed to provide a service to the mobile station.

Abstract: Schedule data described using a sequence of a predetermined specification based on a set of a place condition and a time condition, and a schedule to be performed based on the place condition and time condition is processed depending on a range of a place information and a range of a time information to be presented to a user, and information corresponding to the schedule is presented to the user.

Abstract: A navigation script includes time and point information for navigation and information for guidance, and describes an instruction sequence which can represent these information in time series in a mark-up language. According to the structured data generated from the navigation script, an instruction corresponding to a current time or point is executed, so that information for guidance to be presented is output.

Abstract: A security monitoring apparatus monitors access to a monitor target from the outside, and judges whether new access is normal by referring to an access log concerning past access situations. Then, if the access is abnormal, the security monitoring apparatus issues an alarm to a user/manager, and executes a lockout process, etc.

Abstract: An automation level selection unit automatically selects one automation level corresponding to a given trigger based on a situation, the prediction of performance, the detection of a user reaction, or the record of a user operation in the past. A level-based process control unit controls a predetermined process corresponding to the automation level selected by the automation level selection unit.

Abstract: A characteristic extraction apparatus relates location data about a location which a moving object, such as a human being, etc., visits, to situation data representing a situation at a time when the moving object visits the location and records the data. Then, it analyzes the recorded data, extracts the characteristic, such as a preference, a movement pattern, etc., of the moving object, and presents it to a user.
