  • Publication number: 20160366135
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling a connection between a virtual machine and a physical device comprises receiving a connection request for connecting the physical device to the virtual machine and determining whether the virtual machine satisfies a first connection permission condition and whether the physical device satisfies a second connection permission condition. In response to a determination that the virtual machine does not satisfy the first connection permission condition, a configuration of the virtual machine is changed to satisfy the first connection permission condition. In response to a determination that the physical device does not satisfy the second connection permission condition, a configuration of the physical device is changed to satisfy the second connection permission condition.

  • Patent number: 9462417
    Abstract: To provide a system capable of estimating a location of an information communication terminal and to provide an information communication terminal used for the system, a system includes multiple information communication terminals and a management server. Each information communication terminal has an agent program installed thereon. When the information communication terminal is connected to the wired LAN, an terminal information sending unit sends terminal identification information to cause the management server to generate location information. Upon receiving a mode change instruction, a communication mode changing unit changes a mode to cause the information communication terminal to function as a pseudo access point. When the information communication terminal is not connected to the wired LAN, a radio wave intensity measuring unit measures an intensity of the carrier wave from the PAP.

  • Publication number: 20160006745
    Abstract: Propagating authentication between terminals connected to a server having identification information and user information for the terminals. The terminal receives identification information, user information, location information and a login status from a first terminal and a second terminal in response to a predetermined impact between the terminals, or the terminals coming within a predetermined distance of each other, the login status of the terminals being either authenticated or unauthenticated. The server then authenticates the second terminal in response to the users of the first terminal matching some or all of the users of the second terminal based on the identification and user information, in response to the terminals being located within a predetermined distance of each other, and in response to the first terminal being authenticated and the second terminal being unauthenticated on the basis of the login status.

  • Publication number: 20150369612
    Abstract: Providing a route guide to a destination using building information modeling (BIM) data. A request from a user for a route guide to a destination in a building is received. BIM data for the building, security information for a route, and a user profile of the user that requested the route guide to the destination is received. A route guide to the destination in the building is created, based at least on the BIM data, security information, and the user profile. Creating the route guide may be further based on use restriction information, including time, weight, operation, impassable information, information related to the method of using the facility equipment, or precaution information when using the facility equipment. The route guide may include a method of using the facility equipment in the building, a method of operating, a direction of operation, a method of unlocking or locking, or precaution information.
