Abstract: An authentication system comprises a register image storage unit, which stores a pre-registered register image of a mobile terminal user; a communication control unit, which receives a moving image of the user transmitted from the mobile terminal; and an authentication processing unit, which authenticates the user by checking the moving image received by the communication control unit against the register image stored in the register image storage unit.

Abstract: When a location-area MSC 20 receives an SMS originating signal, an interrogating unit 21 sends an SRIforSM signal including the MSISDN of a receiving terminal 10b to an HLR 30. When the location-area MSC 20 receives an SRIforSMack signal from the HLR 30, a subscriber-identification-information obtaining unit 22 obtains an IMUI contained in the SRIforSMack. An on-origination carrier identifying unit 23 identifies from the IMUI the carrier to which the receiving terminal 10b subscribes. The location-area MSC 20 determines whether the carriers have an SMS interconnection agreement with each other, on the basis of identification made by an on-origination carrier identifying unit 23.

Abstract: A mobile communication service control system according to the present invention has a home location register 13 storing subscriber information, a switching unit 12 for sending a subscriber information inquiry signal 201 to the register 13, and a service control unit 14 for controlling a service provided for subscribers. The home location register 13 stores service information 309 necessary for a start of control of the service at the service control unit 14 and sends the service information 309 along with a response signal 308 to the subscriber information inquiry signal 201 to the switching unit 12. The switching unit 12 transfers the service information 309 received from the register 13, to the service control unit 14.

Abstract: There are provided an interconnection agreement determining system, apparatus, and method capable of accurately determining whether the carrier to which an originating communication terminal subscribes and the carrier to which a receiving communication terminal subscribes have a short message interconnection agreement with each other, even if the receiving communication terminal uses number portability. When a location-area MSC 20 receives an SMS originating signal, an interrogating unit 21 sends an SRIforSM signal including the MSISDN of a receiving terminal 10b to an HLR 30. When the location-area MSC 20 receives an SRIforSMack signal from the HLR 30, a subscriber-identification-information obtaining unit 22 obtains an IMUI contained in the SRIforSMack. An on-origination carrier identifying unit 23 identifies from the IMUI the carrier to which the receiving terminal 10b subscribes.

Abstract: A traffic monitoring system enabling a manager to manage a plurality of traffic monitors in a centralized manner with a desired specification and to effectively utilize a traffic analysis result of each traffic monitor for network management is provided. The manager 1 loads a management application program to the manager itself and executes the program (S1). The manager 1 transfers the management application program to each active monitor 2 to allow the management application program to be executed (S2 and S3). Each active monitor 2 provides an analysis result to the manager 1 in response to a request (S4) from the manager 1 (S5). Each active monitor 2 stops a packet analysis program in response to a request (S6) from the manager 1 and unloads the packet analysis program. After collecting the analysis result, the manager 1 stops and unloads the management application program (S8).

Abstract: An opening/closing device of a door for a refrigerator or the like will open/close the door member at a desired side, namely, at the right side or at the left side, without requiring a movable operating handle. The device is simple in construction, has a high adiabatic efficiency, and can be easily incorporated in the door member. Therefore, no special mechanism is necessary in the door member and no structural change is required inside the door member.

Abstract: A motor-bicycle head lamp includes a reflector formed in a spheroidal shape; a convex lens disposed in front of the reflector; and a shade disposed near a focal point of the convex lens substantially midway between the reflector and the convex lens. The shade is rotatable around the optical axis of the motor-bicycle head lamp in accordance with a slant angle of the body of the motor-bicycle. A slant angle sensor device is provided to rotatably drive the shade.

Abstract: Method and apparatus are described for controlling the roadway illuminating position of a motorcycle headlight during cornering of the motorcycle by determining a basic desired optical axis deflection angle for the headlight in response to the turning radius of the vehicle and, coincident therewith, correcting the deflection angle in accordance with the determined longitudinal position of the motorcycle along the roadway turning line.
