Abstract: A server device 20 requests a client device 30 to execute one of a plurality of computations having different degrees of difficulty. Client device 30 identifies, based on an amount of computation required for each of said plurality of computations, a computation to be executed and executes the computation. Client device 30, when requesting execution of a given process to server device 20, transmits a result of the computation to server device 20. Server device 20, when the computation result is correct, executes a predetermined process according to a priority based on an amount of the computation.

Abstract: When a connection is established between a client device and a server device, a first message requesting establishment of a downlink connection is transmitted from the client device to the server device, and a server device which has received the first message is caused to transmit to the client device a second message requesting establishment of an uplink connection. The client device which has received the second message is caused to transmit to the server device a third message acknowledging the second message and requesting establishment of the downlink connection. The server device which has received the third message is caused to establish the downlink connection based on the content of the third message.

Abstract: A reception notification control method is provided in which an information server that stores information addressed to reception terminals and performs reception notification, via a network apparatus, on each of the reception terminals to which the information stored in the information server is addressed. After receiving, via the network apparatus, a predetermined connection request from a reception terminal to which stored information is addressed, the information server performs the reception notification on the reception terminal.

Abstract: A relay device 40, when it relays data blocks transmitted in succession from a transmitter device 20 to a receiver device 10, is caused to identify a state code showing a state of a communication resource used when the data blocks are transferred. Relay device 40 divides the identified state code into portions of a predetermined data size and writes the divided portions into a predetermined area of the data blocks. Receiver device 10 transmits to transmitter device 20 an acknowledgement containing the same data as is written in a predetermined area of the received data block. Transmitter device 20, upon receipt of the acknowledgement, reads the state code that is divided and written in the acknowledgement and increases or reduces the number of data blocks on the basis of the state code.

Abstract: A transmitter device 20, in transmitting a predetermined number of data blocks out of a plurality of data blocks to a receiver device 10 via a relay device 40, divides and writes into data blocks transmitted in succession, a request code for requesting relay device 40 to relay remaining data blocks. Relay device 40, in the case of accepting the request shown in the request code that is divided and written in the data blocks transmitted from transmitter device 20, notifies the acceptance of the request to transmitter device 20. Transmitter device 20, upon receiving the notification, then transmits the remaining data blocks in succession to relay device 40.

Abstract: A transmitter device which transmits a data block containing a unique number to a receiver device is caused to transmit subsequent segments to be transmitted after a transmitted segment up to a predetermined number in a case of receiving, after retransmitting the transmitted segment, an acknowledgement containing a number of the retransmitted data block.

Abstract: A transmitter device which performs window control in transmitting data for transmission through a communication network is caused to identify a mode of window control to be performed based on a communication condition under which the data transmission is performed, so as to transmit the data for transmission by performing the window control in the identified mode.

Abstract: A management server includes a determination unit and a notification unit.
