  • Patent number: 10691832
    Abstract: Provided is an application control system capable of improving the safety and operability of application control, by a control device that makes a control request for an application, over a terminal device. The application control system includes a terminal device and a management device, which are connected with each other through a network. The management device generates a control key for controlling an application for the terminal device, and transmits the control key to the terminal device and the control device. The terminal device receives and retains the control key from the management device, receives the control key and the control request from the control device, and controls the application for the terminal device corresponding to the control key, in response to the control request, in a case where the retained control key and the control key from the control device match one another.

  • Patent number: 8874474
    Abstract: A communication server 200 acquires a request specifying a desired location for content creation from a requester terminal 310, and provides a notification of the request to an accepter terminal 300 accepting the content creation. The notification history managing unit 206 stores, as notification history, the distance from an accepter terminal to be provided with the notification to the desired recoding location and acceptance information. Upon acquisition of a new request, a request notification terminal selecting unit 203 selects a accepter terminal 300 that is likely to accept the request according to the notification history, and the request notifying unit 204 provides the selected accepter terminal 300 with the notification.
