  • Publication number: 20050216565
    Abstract: When the status of a client X is changed to a status i, a group management unit generates a group agent Xi, corresponding to the status i and registers the generated group agent in the server S, and the presence issuing unit issues the status i and the identifier of the group agent Xi. Initially, a member management unit of the group agent xi manages the client X only. When other clients, such as clients B and C, that are observing the status of the client X send an instant message (IM) to the group agent Xi identified by the issued identifier, an IM delivery unit of the group agent Xi adds the clients B and C, which are IM senders, to the members managed by the member management unit and sends the IM to all members.

  • Publication number: 20050215273
    Abstract: The present invention provides a PoC system which has the following capabilities: 1) it enables communication content to be confirmed afterwards; 2) by recording communication content in conjunction with information such as a caller identifier, it makes it easy to retrieve communication content afterwards; 3) it can record communication content only when this is necessary; 4) it can change as desired the criterion for deciding whether or not to record communication content; 5) it can record even during communications that include off-record content. Accordingly, when PoC group communication is taking place, the exchanged communication content is recorded during each session. Recording is only carried out when it is decided that recording is necessary. It is also possible to change whether communication content is recorded or not on a per-utterance basis.

  • Publication number: 20050215256
    Abstract: A communication agent apparatus includes at least one mobile unit, a presence information inquiring unit, a handling method determination unit, and a handling method execution unit. The mobile unit transports a communication device. The presence information inquiring unit acquires presence information indicating the current situation of a called user. The handling method determination unit determines a handling method for communication made from a calling user to the called user on the basis of the acquired presence information. The handling method execution unit executes the determined handling method. When the handling method determination unit determines a handling method of delivering a communication device used for communication to the called user, the mobile unit delivers the communication device to the called user in accordance with a move command from the handling method execution unit.

  • Patent number: 6848079
    Abstract: A document processing apparatus implemented in a client/server system to add and modify a document conversion function without modification for either client or server. The apparatus comprises a client requesting acquisition or storage of a document, a server performing management such as transfer and storage of the document, a network connecting the client and the server, and a proxy server existing on the network and relaying interaction between the client and the server. The proxy server has a document data conversion section for performing conversion of the document based on the structure of document.

  • Publication number: 20040247934
    Abstract: A polymer light emitting material, wherein the material has a light emitting mechanism based on transition from an excited triplet state to a ground state or transition through an excited triplet state to a ground state of an electron energy level, and the material comprises a nonionic light emitting part which constitutes a part of the polymer or is bound to the polymer. The polymer light emitting material exhibits high light emission efficiency above 5%, which is the limit of external quantum efficiency of fluorescence and can be designed so as to have a large area and hence are suitable for mass production of organic light emitting devices.

  • Publication number: 20040199550
    Abstract: An information management system allowing the improved efficiency of data transfer in a network composed of a server and a plurality of clients is disclosed. The server stores a structured document to be shared among the clients and each of the clients stores a duplication of the structured document. When a part of the structured document is updated, the server notifies the clients of an update of the structured document using an updated minimum unit of the structured document including the updated portion of the structured document.

  • Publication number: 20030181694
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light-emitting material having high emitting efficiency, high luminance and durability for use in an organic light-emitting device and to an organic electroluminescent (EL) device, in which the light-emitting material is used. The light-emitting material contains a light-emitting substance which is spatially constricted and confined in an order of two dimensions or more, thus providing a high efficient organic light-emitting device based on emission of phosphorescence from an excited triplet state.
