  • Publication number: 20210374620
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a processor configured to, in a case of receiving a reservation for a space that is usable by making a reservation, determine whether a time period of the reservation is consecutive with a time period of an already-registered reservation without an empty time in between, and if the time periods of the reservations are consecutive without an empty time in between, notify a reserver with guidance information.

  • Patent number: 11182994
    Abstract: A system includes an operation receiving unit and an operation control apparatus. The operation receiving unit is operated by a user. The operation control apparatus controls a first device at a facility to enter into an operating state in response to a user operation being performed at the operation receiving unit during a first time period determined by reservation information. The operation control apparatus also controls a second device at the facility to enter into an operating state at a start time associated with the first time period, regardless of presence of a user operation at the operation receiving unit.

  • Patent number: 7512789
    Abstract: A mailing list server sends mail encrypted by an encryption method compatible with the mail user agent device likely to receive the mail. A mailing list server 20 receives a signed mail from a member and registers and manages the SMIMECapabilities of that mail in a members' encryption function map 212. A mail-receiving part 201 verifies the signature on a mail received from a member using the member's certificate and decrypts the mail. A mail-distributing part 202 signs and encrypts mail for distribution and distributes it to members' mail addresses. A symmetric encryption key to be used for the encryption is determined for each member with reference to the members' encryption function map 212.

  • Patent number: 7328351
    Abstract: An mail processing apparatus for confirming contents of encrypt mail. Electronic mail delivered in MTA is received by a receiving section. When the received electronic mail has been encrypted or an electronic signature has been affixed, signature verification and decoding are performed by an electronic signature verification/decoding section. The contents of the mail in which the signature verification and the decoding are performed are confirmed by a content confirmation section. Subsequent to this, a signature and encryption are properly performed with respect to the mail by an electronic signature/encryption section. Mail of an account destination of a mail server is held in a spool. The spooled mail is taken out using a delivery part by a mail user agent device. Mail of an account destination of another mail server is delivered to another mail server destination through the delivery section.

  • Patent number: 7318156
    Abstract: A mail receiving section receives S/MIME signature mail from a host of a member. A member checking section checks the electronic signature of the signature mail for validity and determines whether or not the member belongs to a group. If the member checking section checks that the mail is from the valid member, a mail storing section requests an archive service section to archive the mail. A signature creating section uses a secret key unique to the group to create an electronic signature of the group. A mail transmitting section transmits the mail with the electronic signature of the group to the receiver.

  • Patent number: 7302563
    Abstract: A mailing list server and a mail re-sending method thereof with which, when a mail recipient has been unable to decrypt a mail, it is possible to re-send the mail compatibly encrypted in a form such that the recipient can decrypt it without fail. A mail re-send request from a member is made by HTTP, received by a web server 20, and processed by an application server 21. For example, re-send request information is sent to the web server 20 by a mailing list member, using an input form of a web page 303 from the web server 20. The application server 21 determines an encryption method on the basis of a user encryption method specification included in the mail re-send request. A sending part 101 encrypts the mail by the determined method and sends it to the member's address.
