  • Publication number: 20160189124
    Abstract: A data billing system is provided. According to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a payload of an IP packet is stored whenever the IP packet is received. When a retransmitted packet retransmitted based on a TCP is received, an attack packet is detected by comparing the stored payload with a payload of the retransmitted packet. This prevents a malicious attack in which a misuser desires to use data transmitted over a mobile communication network free of charge by inserting an attack packet in the payload of the retransmitted packet.

  • Patent number: 9050910
    Abstract: A cup holder tray for an armrest of an automobile has a tray placed and installed in the armrest of the automobile, and structured by a cup holder which protrudes forward by being unlocked from a lock member formed at a back of a main body with a one-touch operation when a cover provided in a front face is pressed. A stopper is inserted in and pivotally supported at a lid plate of the tray. When a position of the stopper is shifted between the lid plate and the cup holder by a rotation of the stopper due to the weight thereof, a backward movement of the cup holder is restricted or released.
