Abstract: An indoor unit included in an air conditioner that includes an outdoor unit includes a power receiving circuit (PR2), a low-frequency transmission and reception circuit as a first reception circuit, a high-frequency transmission and reception circuit as a transmission and reception circuit, and an inner-controller. The low-frequency transmission and reception circuit receives a current signal transmitted from an outdoor unit by using a current loop formed by a power line included in power supply wiring. For a first communication state in which physical connection between with the outdoor unit is recognized and a second communication state in which communication for operation of the air conditioner is performed between with the outdoor unit, the inner-controller selects use of the low-frequency transmission and reception circuit and the high-frequency transmission and reception circuit in the first communication state and the second communication state.

Abstract: A file management system that provide a record file rapidly to a terminal, request source, by saving a record file to a storage device set at the local area, and to make it possible to refer it. A first device creates the record file and attribute information indicating the attribute about the record file, stores the record file in a first storage unit, and transmits the attribute information to the second device through the network. A second device receives the attribute information and the record file transmitted from the first device and stores them in a second storage unit. The terminal requests to acquire the record file based on the acquired attribute information to the first device or the second device. The first device or the second device transmits the record file requested to the terminal.

Abstract: A file management system that transmits a record file of voice data or image data created by a local device to a center device over a network and manages the record file in the center device. The center device receives attribute information about the record file, including the ID of the record file, which is created in the local device, further acquires extended attribute information associated with the attribute information from a PBX, call control server, or customer server, stores management table including the attribute information and the extended attribute information. The extended attribute information of the record file suggests frequency of the reference for the record file in the local device. The center device decides the timing of the upload request for the record file based on the extended attribute information of the record file.

Abstract: In a file management system that a record file created in a local place is managed in a center, a local device creates a record file of voice data or image data, creates an attribute file indicating the attribute of the record file, stores the record file in a local storage and transmits first the attribute file to a center device. The center device registers information on the attribute file including information indicating the location of the record file into a management table. Then, the local device transmits the record file to the center device in a time zone that a network load is small. When the record file corresponding to the received attribute information is received, the center device changes the storage location of the record file in the management information in the management table.

Abstract: The packet communication system enables communication between a communication unit connected in a conventional telephone network and a communication unit in a packet communication network. A device for exclusively selecting the connection network is provided so that, at the time of transmission of a signal from one communication unit to another, the connection path is selected according to the kind of the network to which the other communication unit belongs. At the time of signal reception, the communication unit is connected to only one of the conventional telephone network and the packet communication network.

Abstract: A communication system and communication method adapted so that the user of one of the communication terminals can more easily communicate with another one connected to the internet through the public network. Connection management servers for relay and manage the communication are provided at nodes between the internet and the public network. Each of the connection management servers assigns an IP address to the communication terminal connected to the internet through the public network, and registers the IP address and the telephone number. When receiving a communication request, the connection management server specifies a communication route to the communication terminal on the basis of the telephone number of the called-side communication terminal set in the communication request. The server checks if the called-side communication terminal is connected to the internet on the basis of the above registration. If it is connected to the internet, the server relays the communication request.

Abstract: A communication system which can communicate with a party user even when an originator user of a communication terminal does not know the terminal address of a communication terminal of the party user with whom the originator user wants to communicate. When its own user A does not know the terminal address of a communication terminal of a user B, a communication terminal of the user A sends an outgoing file having its own terminal address stored therein as an electronic mail directed to the user B. When receiving the outgoing file as the electronic mail, the communication terminal of the user B displays an icon on its display unit to prompt the user B to enter an instruction of performing reply communication. In response to it, when the user B clicks a mouse on the icon, the communication terminal of the user B can perform the reply communication to the communication terminal corresponding to terminal address stored in the outgoing file.
