  • Publication number: 20100050006
    Abstract: The detecting unit detects a disconnection of communications that have been established with a display apparatus. When the disconnection of the communications is detected, the message generating unit generates a confirmation message that confirms whether the communications should be reestablished. The transmitting unit transmits the confirmation message to the display apparatus. The receiving unit receives a reply message that indicates whether the communications should be reestablished from the display apparatus. The main power supply controlling unit shuts down the main power supply when the reply message indicates that the communications should not be reestablished, or when no reply message is received.

  • Publication number: 20090300197
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided an Internet Protocol communication system provided with terminal devices configured to mutually communicate with one another via an IP network and a server unit which performs digest authentication in response to authentication requests transmitted from the terminal device. The server unit comprises an authentication processing module which transmits challenge values to terminal devices of authentication request sources, and verifies response values returned to the challenge values, and a determination module which determines results of the digest authentication on the basis of the results of the verification. At least one of the terminal devices comprises an authentication client module which generates the response values by using a defined algorithm in accordance with user passwords input by users, and with device passwords stored in advance, and returns the response values to the server unit.

  • Publication number: 20090116474
    Abstract: The transferring unit transfers a message received from a PC or a network to a designated destination address. The judging unit judges whether an authentication message including the identification information of the user and a grant message indicating that the user is authenticated are transferred. The identification information acquiring unit acquires the identification information from the transferred authentication message. The SIP message processing unit creates a registration message that includes the address information of the user having the acquired identification information and transmits the created registration message to the SIP server when the grant message is transferred.

  • Publication number: 20090109963
    Abstract: The storage unit stores therein authentication IDs that are used for authentication of users and address information in association with one another. The authentication processing unit receives from a PC an authentication message that includes an authentication ID and is used for the authentication of the user of a communication terminal, and performs authentication on the user based on the received authentication message. The SIP address acquiring unit acquires from the storage unit address information that corresponds to the authentication ID included in the authentication message when the user is authenticated. The SIP address registering unit sends the SIP location server a registration request for registering the acquired address information as the address information of the user of the IP telephone terminal associated with the PC that transmits the authentication message.

  • Publication number: 20090064281
    Abstract: When an authentication identifier is contained in a first message required for receiving authentication with respect to IEEE 802.1X from a terminal device, the authentication is assumed to be successful and then a data link is established with the terminal device, and a filtering unit is set so as to pass a first packet which should be passed for receiving authentication with respect to a higher layer protocol from among packets sent from the terminal device through the data link and to block a second packet different from the first packet. If a second message required for receiving authentication with respect to the higher layer protocol from the terminal device is received through the filtering unit, the authentication with respect to the higher layer protocol is performed. When the authentication is successful, the filtering unit is set so as to pass the second packet.

  • Publication number: 20090025079
    Abstract: A switching equipment stores identification information of communication established with respect to an infrastructure network system in a storage unit, and when an access request is received from a terminal device, the switching equipment adds the stored identification information to the access request and transfers the access request to a 1× Radius server. When the terminal device having requested the access is authenticated, the 1× Radius server notifies a PANA PAA of address information of the terminal device associated with the identification information added to the access request. The PANA PAA approves the same network access as the switching equipment with respect to the terminal device in the received address information.

  • Publication number: 20090016339
    Abstract: A call-forwarding destination judging unit included in an SIP proxy estimates whether call forwarding will be required, based on the type of an SIP message. When it has been estimated that call forwarding will be required, the call-forwarding destination judging unit also estimates the destination of the call forwarding. With this arrangement, when the delivery of the SIP message requires call forwarding, it is possible to establish, in advance, a TLS connection with the SIP terminal being the destination of the call forwarding. Thus, it is possible to eliminate the need to establish the TLS connection at the time when the call is actually forwarded.

  • Publication number: 20080235381
    Abstract: A storage unit of a relaying apparatus stores first identification information that identifies an SIP terminal and second identification that identifies other SIP terminal which is forecast as a transfer destination of a message. A transmitting-and-receiving unit receives from the SIP terminal a request message that is received before a transfer message to be transferred to other SIP terminal and that includes a processing request concerning communications and the first identification information. An obtaining unit obtains from a storage unit the second identification information corresponding to the first identification information included in the received request message. A connection establishing unit establishes communications between the other SIP terminal of the obtained second identification information and the relaying apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20080172724
    Abstract: A receiving unit receives authentication information unique to a terminal device with identification information from the terminal device. An authenticating unit authenticates the terminal device based on the authentication information. An acquiring unit acquires setting information for relaying a communication between a plurality of terminal devices, which is associated with the identification information of an authenticated terminal device from the storing unit. A transmitting unit transmits the setting information to the relay apparatus via a number of communication paths determined in advance, which is smaller than the number of terminal devices.
