Abstract: To further strengthen the security function of a money storage device, a money storage device which stores collected money is configured to: receive a locked state releasing instruction signal that instructs releasing of a locked state, from a money storage device managing server which manages the money storage device, via a communication network and a repeater by using wireless communication; and release the locked state in response to the reception of the locked state releasing instruction signal.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus is configured to be connected to a network system in which line connection is established using point-to-point protocol, and charge is based on a period from establishment to release of the line connection. The information processing apparatus includes an input monitoring unit that monitors line-release operation input and completion of packet transmission/reception, and a communication control unit that releases the line connection when at least one of the line-release operation input and completion of packet transmission/reception is detected.

Abstract: In a ring network, a network element having no routing protocol is connected between first and second nodes, and the first node has a link status table indicating link states of the network element and the second node. The first node transmits a health check polling message at periodic intervals to the network element as well as to the second node to elicit responses therefrom, updates each of the link states when no response is returned, examines the link status table at periodic intervals, and broadcasts a message to the network for updating a routing table of a third node of the network so that an alternate route is established from the third node to the network element via the first node if the link status table indicates that there is a faulty condition between the network element and the second node. The third node transmits a network management message to the network element via the alternate route according to the updated routing table.

Abstract: Herein disclosed are a radio receiving apparatus and a receiving system switching control method used in the radio receiving apparatus. The radio receiving apparatus has an active receiving system and a standby receiving system including respective equalizers, and a changeover switch for performing a switching between the active receiving system and the standby receiving system. The radio receiving apparatus further includes an alarm predicting information predicting means for detecting alarm predicting information in each of the equalizers and a switching control means for controlling a switching condition of the changeover switch on the basis of the alarm predicting information detected by the alarm predicting information detecting means, where the alarm predicting information as internal information of the equalizers is monitored to predict a malfunction of a receiving circuit to switch the circuit before the circuit is hit. It is therefore possible to reduce a hit rate of the circuit.
