  • Patent number: 11307537
    Abstract: A communication system (1) comprises a central (100) and a peripheral (200). The central (100) receives location information and time information from NTP servers (10) and a location server (30). The central (100) creates first offset information of the time measured by its own device and the time information received from the NTP servers (10). The central (100) acquires from map information a time difference corresponding to a location presented by the location information received from the location server (30). The central (100) creates first updated time information based on the time measured by its own device, first offset information, and time difference corresponding to the location presented by the location information received from location server (30) and transmits the first updated time information to the peripheral (200). The peripheral (200) changes the time displayed by its own device based on the received first updated time information.

  • Patent number: 10791117
    Abstract: An embodiment of a data transmission method is executed by a server that includes a memory that stores first unique number data presenting a first unique number and second unique number data presenting a second unique number, in association with each other, and includes receiving a first unique number data presenting a first unique number from a first electronic device in the first unique number reception step. Whether the first unique number presented by the first unique number data received in the first unique number reception step matches the first unique number presented by the first unique number data stored in the memory is determined in the determination step. The second unique number data stored in association with the first unique number data stored in the memory is transmitted to the first electronic device when determined in the determination step that they match.

  • Patent number: 10509371
    Abstract: A smartphone includes a receiver, a log acquirer, a determiner, an information notifier, and a display. The receiver is in wireless communication with a time display device. The log acquirer acquires log data from the time display device by the receiver. The determiner determines the usage status of the time display device on the basis of the log data acquired by the log acquirer. The information notifier provides, via the display, notification of information corresponding to the usage status determined by the determiner.

  • Patent number: 4523874
    Abstract: A plastic underdrainage tube of generally reticular configuration formed by integrally extruding a plastic material is disclosed. The tube is basically composed of axially spaced apart annular bands having relatively greater thicknesses to reinforce or impart to the tube a high stability against surrounding pressures, and circumferentially disposed longitudinal strands in thicknesses less than those of said annular bands. These longitudinal strands are closely spaced apart along the circumference of the tube to form drainage openings between the circumferentially adjacent strands, the openings being disposed across the entire periphery and lengthwise of the tube to allow the water inflow over the entire wall portion thereof.
