Patent number: 7640349Abstract: A communication between a terminal connected to the Internet, like a household terminal, and a server can be performed by simple processing at any time after security is ensured. In a case where control of a particular terminal connected to a predetermined network is performed from the server, when there is a predetermined processing request at the particular terminal from the server or an external terminal connected to the server, a callback request is sent to the server or the particular terminal. At the particular terminal receiving the callback request, a callback request response is made to the server by a predetermined communication method in which security is ensured, and instructions for performing predetermined processing by the predetermined communication method are sent, as a response from the server with respect to the callback request response, to the particular terminal.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2004Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Kazuhiro Nishiyama, Seikei Lee, Takeshi Ishihara, Shinji Arakawa

Publication number: 20090178127Abstract: Disclosed herein is an authentication system offering high degrees of security and convenience by use of two storage media. An automatic log-in system (100) requests a server (110) to perform a user authentication process using card-specific information (101) retrieved from an IC card (10) and password information (102) from a portable memory (11). The server (110) authenticates the user by acquiring a user ID and a password using the card-specific information (101) and password information (102). The card-specific information (101) and password information (102) constitute authentication request information, and the user ID and password make up authentication information. Following successful authentication of the user, the server (110) allows the user to log in; in case of unsuccessful authentication, the server (110) denies log-in.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2005Publication date: July 9, 2009Inventors: Shinichi Ogino, Shinji Hasejima, Haruhiko Ohashi, Koichi Yamamoto, Reiko Murayama, Atsushi Fuse, Shinji Arakawa, Hidekazu Kondo, Hiroshi Okada, Seiichi Misawa, Toshiya Kurasaki, Kasuhiro Nishiyama

Patent number: 5352018Abstract: A support shaft has an integral protrusion which is abuttingly engageable with an arcuate portion of a support panel for limiting rotation of the support panel relative to the support shaft. A protrusion is provided at each axial end of the support shaft, while an opening with a slit-like opening portion is provided on each side panel of a seat back frame. The protrusion at each axial end of the support shaft and the opening at each side panel are constructed and arranged so that each axial end is capable of passing through the opening only when the support shaft is held in a particular position. The support shaft is put out of the particular position when in use such that each axial end is prevented from slipping out of the opening.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 1993Date of Patent: October 4, 1994Assignee: Ikeda Bussan Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinji Arakawa, Harufumi Terasawa, Masahiro Tachibana, Isamu Chinomi
