  • Patent number: 9674708
    Abstract: A monitoring system, monitoring server, method, and program that, when an unauthorized access point is installed, effectively block wireless communications performed by the unauthorized access point, a monitoring system including a monitoring server for monitoring an unauthorized access point and multiple terminals connected to the monitoring server via a network is provided. The terminals acquire radio wave information from radio waves transmitted by an access point, and transmit the radio wave information to the monitoring server. The monitoring server detects an unauthorized access point using terminal information including the radio wave information received from the terminals, designates a terminal as a pseudo-access point using intensity of radio waves transmitted by the unauthorized access point, and instructs the terminal to transmit radio waves. The terminal transmits radio waves in accordance with the instruction from the monitoring server.

  • Patent number: 9462417
    Abstract: To provide a system capable of estimating a location of an information communication terminal and to provide an information communication terminal used for the system, a system includes multiple information communication terminals and a management server. Each information communication terminal has an agent program installed thereon. When the information communication terminal is connected to the wired LAN, an terminal information sending unit sends terminal identification information to cause the management server to generate location information. Upon receiving a mode change instruction, a communication mode changing unit changes a mode to cause the information communication terminal to function as a pseudo access point. When the information communication terminal is not connected to the wired LAN, a radio wave intensity measuring unit measures an intensity of the carrier wave from the PAP.
