  • Patent number: 7877775
    Abstract: When a command for starting up a specific versatile application of a versatile application section is made during an execution of a native application included in a basic processing section, a judgment of the following condition for combining is satisfied: whether or not the specific versatile application is in a paused state, and the specific versatile application has made a request for starting up the native application, is made (step S51). When a judgment that the condition for combining is satisfied is made, an execution of the specific versatile application is restarted (step S56). As a result, it is possible to have a prompt coordination between the basic processing section and the versatile application, while respecting a feeling of presence which is established in the mind of a user.

  • Patent number: 7860227
    Abstract: If a call is originated from a DKT, a first node being a calling party prepares a call identifying information item using a call number and a Node ID, and transmits the information item to a second node being a called party. If the first node and the second node receive a disconnect request of the call from the DKT, each of the nodes transmits an accounting information item and the call identification item to an accounting apparatus. The accounting apparatus sums up accounting information items having the same call identification item, and performs accounting processing for the summed accounting information as total accounting information of the call.
