Abstract: A security control system for improving security. The security control system includes a portable device, having a communication function and a portable device ID code. A security controller includes a memory for recording a controller ID code. The security controller communicates with the portable device and determines whether the portable device ID code matches the controller ID code. In accordance with the determination, the security controller selectively deactivates the security functions of a door lock driver and an engine controller. The security controller records and registers the portable device ID code as the controller ID code in the memory and transmits a registration signal containing the portable device ID code. A portable device management apparatus receives the registration signal from the security controller and manages the portable device based on the registration signal.

Abstract: When a remote start of an engine using a predetermined transmitter is performed, a security regarding theft of a vehicle can be prevented form being significantly deteriorated. The vehicle has a remote engine starter for remotely start an engine and a vehicle antitheft device for activating an alarm when there is a possibility of occurrence of vehicle theft. The remote engine starter and the vehicle antitheft device are connected to each other through a communication line. In a case where an engine start signal is supplied from the transmitter, the remote engine starter is caused to supply a start signal to the vehicle antitheft device through the communication line before causing a contact point closing signal to be supplied to an ignition relay.

Abstract: A transmitting and receiving method of transmitting and receiving data between a transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus through a network that exchanges data using a packet includes: causing at least one of the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatus to secure a storage region corresponding to the data as a data region; and causing at least one of the transmitting apparatus and the receiving apparatus to store divided data, which is obtained by dividing the data in a size equal to or smaller than the size of the packet, in the data region to thereby perform the transmission and reception while managing the location of the divided data.

Abstract: A vehicle antitheft device prevents an erroneous activation of a theft preventing function due to an activation of a system, which is capable of starting an engine in a state where a key is not inserted in an ignition key cylinder. A power source control device causes a starter motor to start the engine when the key is inserted into the ignition key cylinder or an authentication collation through a radio communication is completed. The vehicle antitheft device activates an alarm when an IG signal from the power source control device becomes an ON signal in an uninserted state of the key into the ignition key cylinder. A push start switch, which is push-operated at a time of an engine start, is connected to the power source control device and the vehicle antitheft device.

Abstract: A door lock control device prevents deterioration in anti-theft property of a vehicle by restricting unjust cancellation of a locked state of a door of the vehicle. In-vehicle operation detecting means detects a predetermined operation performed in a compartment of the vehicle. Locked state canceling means cancels the locked state of the door when the predetermined operation is detected by the in-vehicle operation detecting means. Unjust act detecting means detects an unjust act applied to the vehicle. Locked state cancellation prohibiting means prohibits cancellation of the locked state by the locked state canceling means after the unjust act is detected by the unjust act detecting means.

Abstract: An anti-theft system for a vehicle includes an on-vehicle machine (10) including reporting means (28) configured to report by radio an illegal activity affecting the vehicle to a designated opponent to be reported to in a case where the illegal activity is detected; and an external facility (30), the external facility (30) including obstruction radio wave detection means (36) configured to detect a radio wave obstructing the radio-report by the reporting means; and illegal activity prevention means (38, 40, 42) configured to prevent the illegal activity in a case where the radio wave is detected by the obstruction radio wave detection means (36). Jamming the radio signal from the vehicle is detected and triggers taking a photograph of the vehicle and its surroundings.

Abstract: A technology to facilitate realization of facsimile transmission of an image over a network is provided. A facsimile device includes an image data storage unit to store received image and an output device connection unit that connects the facsimile device to an image output device. The output device connection unit can switch the logical connection to the image output device between a connected state and a disconnected state. File management of the image data storage unit is performed by the image output device during the logical connection is in the connected state. The facsimile device receives the image data in the disconnected state, switches the logical connection to the connected state after the reception of the image data, transfers the image data stored in the image data storage unit to the image output device, and switches the logical connection to the disconnected state after the image data is transferred.

Abstract: A printing apparatus creates and prints an order sheet on which a list of image data is placed. By filling in marking fields on the order sheet a user can select image data for transmission. Once the order sheet has been scanned by the scanner, the printing apparatus creates an e-mail having attached to it the image data selected by the user, and sends this to a computer or the like via a mail server. It is possible in this way to easily select image data for transmission through a prescribed communications network.

Abstract: Disclosed is an antitheft apparatus for a vehicle, which is installed on a vehicle and configured to allow operation of predetermined on-vehicle devices only when a user ID code obtained from a user of the vehicle and a reference ID code registered on the vehicle are identical. The antitheft apparatus is provided with a setting unit for adding or deleting the reference ID code to or from the vehicle and a transmitting unit for transmitting the reference ID code registered on the vehicle to a predetermined communications station. A vehicle antitheft system using such apparatus is also disclosed.

Abstract: A control system for improving the security level of a security device. A portable device is provided with a communication function and has a portable device ID code. A security controller includes a memory for recording a controller ID code. The security controller communicates with the portable device to determine whether the portable device ID code matches the controller ID code, and controls deactivation of security functions for a door lock driver and an engine controller based on the determination result. In response to a restriction request signal, the management apparatus transmits a function restriction signal to the security controller. The security controller prohibits or restricts control of the door lock driver or the engine controller when receiving the function restriction signal and communicating with the portable device.

Abstract: A request for transition from a process controlled by HTTP protocol to a special process controlled by a protocol different from the HTTP protocol is made by a URL as command transfer means. When the URL is input via an information terminal to a server, a client agent is started on the information terminal side, and an agent service section is started on the sever side. The client agent and the agent service section carry out the special process, such as an authentication process, while bi-directionally transmitting and receiving data to and from each other. A service manager controls the special process such that transition to another process, such as a channel-switching process, is inhibited during execution of the authentication process by the client agent and the agent service section.
