Abstract: In a case where data is provided to a plurality of third parties, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method and the like for checking the consent and disclosure history of disclosure to the third parties while also reducing the disadvantages from a data leak. An information processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes writing, to a blockchain, a consent record indicating a consent with respect to the handling of data and a related party related to the consent or the data. In the case where executing the handling in the consent record would allow the data to be usable by a third party that is neither the executing party executing the handling nor the related party, the consent record is written such that the identifier is changed to a different identifier uniquely corresponding to the third party.

Abstract: A terminal device according to an embodiment includes an accepting unit, a secret value generating unit, a response data generating unit, and an output unit. The accepting unit accepts an inquiry about genome data of each user. The secret value generating unit generates a secret value by applying a one-way function to the genome data. The response data generating unit generates response data to the inquiry on the basis of the secret value generated by the secret value generating unit and contents of the inquiry. The output unit outputs the response data generated by the response data generating unit.

Abstract: A health support apparatus includes a processor including hardware. The processor accepts input of a first factor that is directly controlled by improving a lifestyle habit of a person subjected to a medical checkup and a second factor that is not directly controlled by improving a lifestyle habit of the person. The processor calculates change amounts of the first factor and the second factor. The processor predicts a disease risk value representing a disease risk of a disease of the person based on at least the change amount of the second factor.

Abstract: A data-transfer controlling system comprising a bus-control unit connected to a common bus for controlling data transfer through the bus and a plurality of transmitter/receiver units for transferring data through the common bus to each other. The bus is comprised of a transfer-request signal line connected to each of the transmitter/receiver units, one or two permission-signal lines, for permitting transfer of data by a transmitter/receiver unit which has been generating a transfer-request signal, an acknowledge signal line, and a transfer-end signal line. The bus does not include a busy-interlock signal line, which was included in the prior art. The transmitter/receiver unit which has received the permission signal begins to transfer data when both of the permission signal and the transfer-end signal are terminated.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a data communication system which carries out the transfer of data information. In said system, when one communication control unit is used as a transmitting side, said unit sends control signals, such as a receive command signal, to another communication control unit, and; when said one unit is used as a receiving side, said one unit sends control signals, such as various response signals, to said other communication control unit. In the data communication system according to the present invention, the same control signal has different meanings, depending on whether the communication control unit is used as a transmitting side or as a receiving side.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bidirectional repeater in a data transmission system in which a supervisor is connected to one end of a bidirectional bus having connected thereto a plurality of communication units and the bidirectional bus is extended through the bidirectional repeater. In the case of data transmission between the communication units or between one of the communication units and the supervisor, the bidirectional repeater relays signals without delay and without any erroneous operation even in the case of impulsive noise getting mixed in the signals and determines the data transmitting direction prior to data transmission.
