    Abstract: A payment management apparatus according to an embodiment includes a purchase request receiving unit, a payment candidate selecting unit, a list information notifying unit, a selected information acquiring unit, and a payment unit. The purchase request receiving unit receives a purchase request transmitted from a user terminal. The payment candidate selecting unit selects payment candidates as candidates for a payer who pays a price for a purchasing object corresponding to the purchase request on behalf of a user who holds the user terminal. The list information notifying unit notifies the user terminal of information on a list of the payment candidates. The selected information acquiring unit acquires, from the user terminal, information on a payment candidate selected from the list of the payment candidates as information on a selected candidate. The payment unit performs a payment process on the purchasing object based on the information on the selected candidate.

  • Patent number: 9270675
    Abstract: Access restriction is performed on access to a page on which information is posted from a terminal of a subject. It is determined whether positions of terminals used by the subject and a manager, who is associated with the subject in advance, accord with each other. A relaxation operation is received from the terminal of the manager, when it is determined that the positions accord with each other. The access restriction by a restriction unit is relaxed, when the relaxation operation is received. A characteristic word of the page accessed by the terminal of the subject for which the access restriction is relaxed is acquired. The acquired characteristic word is transmitted to the terminal of the manager to display the characteristic word. A recovery operation is received from the terminal of the manager. The access restriction performed by the restriction unit is recovered, when the recovery operation is received.

  • Publication number: 20140118186
    Abstract: There is provided a radar apparatus. An extracting unit extracts a peak signal obtained from a difference frequency between a transmitting signal and a receiving signal during a first period in which the frequency of the transmitting signal ascends and a second period in which the frequency descends. A pairing unit pairs the peak signals of the first and second periods based on a predetermined condition. A deriving unit derives target information including a position of a target based on paired data obtained by pairing the peak signals. The pairing unit selects normal-paired data which is paired in a correct combination, from among the plurality of paired data, based on a plurality of parameter values of the peak signals of the first and second periods which are to be paired, and a discrimination function for discriminating true or false of the pairing.
