  • Patent number: 10225133
    Abstract: A gateway transmits a communication switch request to a communication control unit by HTTP communication. The communication switch request serves to switch connection with a data center from HTTP communication to WebSocket communication. The communication control unit, when the communication switch request is received from the gateway, switches communication with the gateway device to WebSocket communication. A mobile terminal transmits a management execution request requesting execution of a management process of a PLC, to the data center. The communication control unit transmits a session establishing request requesting establishment of a session with the PLC, to the gateway by WebSocket communication based on the received management execution request.

  • Publication number: 20180188718
    Abstract: A simulation apparatus (10) calculates, as an appropriate value, a sensor value at which productivity increases, from a sensor value detected with a sensor disposed in an automation system (20) and productivity of the automation system (20) at a time when the sensor value is detected. While sequentially changing setting, the simulation apparatus (10) executes a simulation of an operation of the automation system (20) and calculates a predicted value of the sensor value for each setting. The simulation apparatus (10) identifies the setting in a case where the predicted value is close to the appropriate value.

  • Patent number: 7103023
    Abstract: A radio communication control station including a packet receiver, a paging controller, a location information receiver, and a retriever. The packet receiver receives an IP packet destined for a radio communication terminal subscribing to one of sub-networks constituting a composite radio communication network. The paging controller causes one of the sub-networks to page the radio communication terminal. The location information receiver receives location information on a current location of the radio communication terminal from the radio communication terminal. The retriever retrieves candidates of sub-networks that can be employed by the radio communication terminal on the basis of the location information on the radio communication terminal. The radio communication terminal selects a sub-network for its use among from the candidates and establishes an environment for communication with the sub-network.

  • Patent number: 6981061
    Abstract: In a system where a plurality of mobile terminals shares a data of the server, upon issuing an update request data of server from the mobile terminals, without depending on the stability of the communication method used by the mobile terminals, a fair data updating becomes possible which only relies on an issuing order of the update request. In the present system, the clock module is provided to all the mobile terminals and the server having a synchronized time. The mobile terminal adds the update request issuing time obtained from the timing module to the update request data upon issuing the update request data, and the update request data is repeatedly sent until the server receives it. During the repeated transmission, an issuing time attached to the update request is identical to the original issuing time, and the server processes the data update request received within the update request reception period in an order of the issuing time.

  • Patent number: 6753980
    Abstract: The facsimile modem of the present invention comprises a computer interface, a switching unit, and a memory unit. The objective of the present invention is this line-switching facsimile modem that can transmit a data demanding the security, high-speed, and low-cost delivery, by prioritizing the usage of the leased line in transmitting this data. The line-switching facsimile modem of the present invention is connected to a facsimile machine and has a function to transmit data via the public switched telephone network. When transmitting a facsimile data from the facsimile machine, the switching unit checks whether a leased line address is registered in the memory unit or not, and if the leased line address is found registered, the switching unit switches the connection from the public switched telephone network line to the leased line, and then the facsimile data is transmitted using the computer interface via the leased line.
