Abstract: Configuration tasks needed to form a wireless LAN are performed using a simple method while increasing security during configuration. In a wireless network configuration system GH1 including an encryption key setting system LH1, where an access point 20 determines after the power thereto is turned ON that configuration for connection to a wireless LAN has not yet be carried out, the access point 20 activates a restricted receiving mode in which only an initial configuration packet is accepted. A terminal 50 that has sent an initial configuration packet and the access point 20 that has received such initial configuration packet while the restricted receiving mode is active each create an identical WEP key with reference to the data on a CD-ROM 51 or the data in a ROM 12, respectively, and set and register the created WEP key in itself.

Abstract: The present invention provides a LAN device 20 having an internal function of controlling communication. A management representative of the LAN device 20 sets a protocol applicable for communication with regard to each of MAC addresses or IP addresses allocated to transmitter terminals and each of IP addresses allocated to receiver terminals. The LAN device transmits data in the case of the protocol applicable for communication, while not transmitting data in the case of any protocol inapplicable for communication.

Abstract: A synchronization apparatus synchronizes switchover between the right and left shutters of shutter glasses for viewing three-dimensional images, with switchover between a right-eye image frame and a left-eye image frame alternately displayed on a display device. The synchronization apparatus includes a sensor installed on the image display screen of the display device, and a controller for controlling switchover between the right and left shutters in accordance with an output signal from the sensor. The right-eye image frame and the left-eye image frame include discrimination marks for discriminating between the right-eye image frame and the left-eye image frame. The sensor detects the discrimination marks displayed on the image display screen.

Abstract: The cartridge-type HDD 200 to which the operation member 250 is attached is inserted into the slot 150. On this occasion, if in the first placement mode in which the head member 252 is situated on the rear side in the insertion direction of the cartridge-type HDD 200, the operation member 250 does not contact the switch 154. Accordingly, the cartridge-type HDD 200 is in the writable state. On the other hand, if in the second placement mode in which the head member 252 is situated on the front side in the insertion direction of the cartridge-type HDD 200, the operation member 250 presses the switch 154. Accordingly, the cartridge-type HDD 200 is in the write inhibit state.

Abstract: The invention intends to achieve new additions of terminals that use a wireless LAN with a simple process, while preventing leakage of data indicating cipher keys. The access point is notified of the cipher systems adaptable to the terminals. The access point narrows the cipher systems adaptable to itself, sets the cipher keys and notifies them, and also determines the station IDs for the cipher keys each. Thereafter, when the access point modifies the cipher systems based on the security policy, the access point adopts the station IDs corresponding to the cipher systems each. Therefore, the terminals specify the cipher systems based on the station IDs, and perform wireless communications by using the cipher keys notified in advance.
