  • Publication number: 20240073787
    Abstract: A closed subscriber group (CSG) cell allows use of subscribers. To receive the service by the CSG cell, a CSG-ID is notified to a user equipment, but cannot be obtained outside the reach of radio waves from a non-CSG cell. Base stations respectively provided to a CSG cell and a non-CSG cell, and access is made to the CSG cell with the use of a CSG-ID issued when use of the CSG cell is allowed, the base station refers to the notified identification information of a user equipment and then transmits a tracking area update request from the user equipment to a core network. The core network determines whether the user equipment is allowed to use the CSG cell and, if allowed, transmits a signal for assignment of radio resources to the user equipment and the CSG-ID. The user equipment accesses the CSG cell with the CSG-ID.

  • Patent number: 11782972
    Abstract: To easily determine whether an information code has been replaced, an information processing device obtains, based on original information obtained by photographing an optically readable information code and decoding the same, first class information indicating a class into which an object visually represented by first visual information which should be displayed together with an information code is classified. The information processing device obtains second class information indicating a class into which an object visually represented by second visual information photographed together with the information code because of display together with the information code is classified. The information processing device compares the first class information with the second class information. The information processing device controls, based on a result of the comparison, execution of predetermined processing using the original information.
