Abstract: A travel information server estimates travel demand with mobility data. The server identifies activity types of users based, at least in part, on mobility data of the users. The mobility data has been collected over time and indicates at least locations and corresponding times at the locations. Travel information is generated with the mobility data for each of the activity types. The travel information for a first of the activity types is adjusted based, at least in part, on travel-related event data that corresponds to the first activity type to generate an adjusted travel information for the first activity type. The travel-related event data indicates an event that potentially influences travel for a short term computing an estimated travel demand with a combination of the adjusted travel information for the first activity type and the travel information for at least a second of the activity types.

Abstract: Provided is a communication device which securely registers a slave unit. A secret address generation and setup section generates a secret address generator, and a secret address of the slave unit used temporarily instead of a unique address of the slave unit based on the secret address generator and identification information of the slave unit. A second communication section transmits to the slave unit a registration start notice containing the secret address generator by broadcast.

Abstract: A first energy management apparatus (101a) includes an apparatus information processing unit (301) configured to store collected information as an apparatus profile, an apparatus operation processing unit (302), an energy consumption history management unit (305) configured to store collected energy consumption histories, a control history processing unit (306) configured to generate an optimum energy consumption pattern from the energy consumption history, and a control history transmission unit (303) configured to transmit the optimum energy consumption pattern to a second energy management apparatus (101b) in another building adjacent to the building of the first energy management apparatus (101a).

Abstract: Provided is a communication device which securely registers a slave unit. A secret address generation and setup section generates a secret address generator, and a secret address of the slave unit used temporarily instead of a unique address of the slave unit based on the secret address generator and identification information of the slave unit. A second communication section transmits to the slave unit a registration start notice containing the secret address generator by broadcast.

Abstract: A communication apparatus and authenticating method prevent mistaken authentication at initial authentication in a connection between communication apparatuses. The communication apparatus includes an authentication processing unit which manages each state of the communication apparatus. The states include an authentication initiation permissible state, an authentication initiation impermissible state, an authentication initiation state, an authenticating state, an authentication successful state, an authentication unsuccessful state and an authentication completed state. Additionally, the authentication processing unit performs authentication with another communication apparatus, and stops the authentication when a plurality of authentication messages is received while in the authentication initiation state and the authenticating state.

Abstract: A communication device, a communication system and an authentication system for preventing a disguising act by an illegal man-in-the-middle and improving the safety and certainty of authentication processing are provided. A slave (20) transmits an authentication request including device information to a master (10). The master (10) receives the authentication request and displays the device information included in the authentication request on a screen of a display section (13). The user visually checks the device information displayed on the screen of the display section 13 (13), determines whether or not to verify the authentication, and instructs the master (10) of the determination result via an input section (14). The master (10), instructed to verify or not to verify the authentication, transmits a response in accordance with the instruction to the slave (20).

Abstract: A communication apparatus and authenticating method that can prevent a mistaken authentication at initial authentication in a connection between communication apparatuses is provided.

Abstract: A representative registration apparatus 100 includes: a master and slave apparatus supporting control section 101 which generates, according to a registration message received from a master apparatus or a slave apparatus, a registration message to be transmitted to the master apparatus or the slave apparatus; a communication range switching section 104 for switching a transmission range of a message to be transmitted; and a communication range determining section 107 which determines, according to a destination of a registration message generated by the master and slave apparatus supporting control section 101, a transmission range of the registration message thus generated, so as to provide instructions to the communication range switching section 104.
