Patent number: 8146074Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium containing an application management program for automatically performing version management to surely manage versions of a client application that communicates with a server application. A communication request monitor acquires a communication request issued from a terminal device to a server, and extracts version information of a client application from the communication request. An upgrade determination unit determines whether the extracted version information shows the latest version, and determines that upgrade is necessary if the version is not the latest version. A setting file transmitter sends the communication request to the server if the upgrade determination unit does not determine that the upgrade is necessary. If the upgrade is necessary, on the contrary, the setting file transmitter discards the communication request and sends the client application setting file for the latest version to the terminal device sending the communication request.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignees: Fujitsu Limited, Fujitsu Broad Solution & Consulting, Inc.Inventors: Yoshiyuki Ito, Soichi Nishiyama, Yasuhiko Awamoto

Patent number: 8073919Abstract: A mobile terminal, data communication method, and a computer program stored in a computer-readable medium for communicating management data in a more efficient way. A management data communication interface communicates management data regularly with a management server, while an application data communication interface communicates application data with an application server on a demand basis. A data collision detector detects a collision between the management data and application data. If a collision is detected, a priority resolver determines whether to prioritize application data over management data. The management data suppressor suspends the management data communication interface when the priority resolver has determined that application data should be prioritized over management data.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2006Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazuki Matsui, Hideto Kihara, Soichi Nishiyama, Yasuhiko Awamoto, Hiroshi Kokubo, Chizu Tuge, Yoshiyuki Ito, Norie Tachibana

Patent number: 7953629Abstract: The object of the invention is to perform a constructive exchange of information between a user and a provider of products in virtual reality. A user places a product 154 that he is considering buying in a cart, designates product providers, and gives notification thereto of the cart contents. A designated product provider 153, by seeing the cart contents, can learn in what products the user is interested. The product provider 153 can provide to the cart from which the designation arose additional information 155, such as advertisements for its products. The user, by receiving various types of additional information from a product provider that he trusts, can find products that meet his desires, and can enjoy more satisfactory network-based shopping.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2001Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Youji Kohda, Soichi Nishiyama, Koichi Murakami, Takaya Fujita

Patent number: 7801509Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium storing a data communication program capable of transmitting desired data quickly. The mobile terminal (computer) has the following functions: A data accumulating section accumulates accumulation data to be uploaded to a server 7. A transmission data-generating section generates transmission data that is to be transmitted to the server for making the inquiry and has the accumulation data added thereto. A determination section determines whether or not the mobile terminal is in a state in which the transmission data can be transmitted to the server. A communication scheduler permits a data communication section to transmit the transmission data to the server based on the result of determination of the determination section. The data communication section transmits the transmission data to the server in response to permission of the communication scheduler.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2006Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Kazuki Matsui, Hideto Kihara, Soichi Nishiyama, Yasuhiko Awamoto, Hiroshi Kokubo, Chizu Tuge, Yoshiyuki Ito, Norie Tachibana

Patent number: 7664817Abstract: Network information-distribution method and device for transmitting information utilizing information-exchange relationships among users. Information is transmitted from user 1 to all or a portion of user 1's buddies, e.g., users 12 and 13. Next, having received the information, users 12 and 13 then forward the information to their respective buddies. The information is forwarded, for example, to users 211 and 212 registered on user 12's buddy list 21. Likewise, the information is also transmitted to the user group registered on user 13's buddy list 22. By repeating this, buddy lists expressing information-exchange relationships among users are utilized to distribute the information to great numbers of persons.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2002Date of Patent: February 16, 2010Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Satoru Watanabe, Masatomo Yasaki, Soichi Nishiyama, Kazuki Matsui, Toshiaki Gomi

Publication number: 20070274494Abstract: A computer-readable recording medium having recorded therein a telephone-call connection program for controlling telephone calling with the schedule of the other party of a call and a call importance level therefor being taken into account. A connection-request receiving block extracts a transmission-source telephone number and a transmission-destination telephone number and identifies the other party of the call from the transmission-destination telephone number. Then, a call-importance-level determination block determines the call importance level of the call for the other party of the call. A schedule determination block determines whether the current time falls in a response-rejection time zone of the other party of the call. A connection determination block determines according to the response-rejection time zone and the call importance level whether telephone calling is necessary.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: November 29, 2007Applicants: FUJITSU LIMITED, FUJITSU BROAD SOLUTION & CONSULTING, INC.Inventors: Yasuhiko Awamoto, Soichi Nishiyama, Rieko Ohba, Chizu Tuge, Yoshihiko Ueno
