20090144406 | COMMUNICATION CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD - A communication control apparatus includes a registration request signal receiver, a registration section, a transmitter, a group communication control signal receiver, and a group communication controller. The request signal receiver receives, from at least one terminal differing from a plurality of group communication terminals that is performing or is to perform group communication through a communication network, a control terminal registration request signal requesting the registration of the terminal as a control terminal for controlling the group communication. The registration section registers the terminal which sent the control terminal registration request signal as a control terminal. The transmitter sends, to that terminal, information indicating that the terminal has been registered as a control terminal. The control signal receiver receives from the terminal a group communication control signal for controlling the group communication. The group communication controller starts or changes the group communication in accordance with the group communication control signal. | 06-04-2009 |
20090156169 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL, MOBILE SWITCHING CENTER, MESSAGE STORAGE DEVICE, AND MESSAGE STORING METHOD - A mobile communication terminal, a mobile switching center, a storage device, and a message storing method are provided, whereby a high-quality message is allowed to store in an efficient manner. A network system, when discriminating that a receiving-side terminal cannot answer a call made from a calling-side via a communication line of a circuit-switched network, the communication line with the calling-side terminal is switched from the circuit-switched network to a packet-switched network. The network system stores in the storage device the message that has been transmitted via the communication line of the packet-switched network that has been switched without performing a Codec conversion. The network system performs a Codec conversion of the message to an optimal one, and then delivers the message to the receiving-side terminal. | 06-18-2009 |
20090156174 | COMMUNICATION MESSAGE STORING AND DELIVERING DEVICE, MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL DEVICE, AND COMMUNICATION MESSAGE STORING AND DELIVERING METHOD - Irrespective of the current situation of a recipient, a message storing service can be actively used by an originator's will, and the recipient can know without a delay that a message addressed to the recipient has been stored. A service for message originator can be specified so that even if a mobile communication terminal device on a recipient side is in a state where it can immediately perform communication when a message is transmitted from a mobile communication terminal device on an originator side, the message is temporarily stored in a message storing box of a telephone answering service subscribed to by a subscriber A as the originator of the message, and the message is delivered to the mobile communication terminal device on the recipient side at timing intended by the originator A. | 06-18-2009 |
20090210221 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR BUILDING SPEECH DATABASE FOR SPEECH SYNTHESIS, RELAY DEVICE THEREFOR, AND RELAY METHOD THEREFOR - A relay device | 08-20-2009 |
20090217166 | VIDEO EDITING APPARATUS, TERMINAL DEVICE AND GUI PROGRAM TRANSMISSION METHOD - The present invention provides: a video editing apparatus which makes it possible for the video editing apparatus to carry out appropriate video editing in accordance with the processing capabilities of a terminal device; the terminal device; and a GUI program transmission method for the video editing apparatus. A video editing apparatus, which edits video content on the basis of edit instruction information from a terminal device connected thereto via a network, comprises receiving means for receiving attribute information denoting the processing capabilities of the terminal device; a GUI program extracting portion for referring to a GUI program table that stores the attribute information of the terminal device in association with a GUI program for the terminal device to create edit instruction information, and extracting the GUI program associated with the attribute information received by the receiving means; and a GUI program transmitting portion for transmitting the GUI program extracted by the GUI program extracting portion to the terminal device. | 08-27-2009 |
20090238356 | GROUP COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, GROUP ID NUMBER ISSUING APPARATUS, AND CALL CONTROL APPARATUS - There is provided a group communication system allowing group communication to be performed by a simple operation as well as a group ID number issuing apparatus and a call control apparatus to be applied to such a group communication system. When a user takes a group organization procedure to the group communication system, a group representative telephone number representing the group is issued. After the group representative telephone number is issued, the group representative telephone number can be used in the same manner as for calling a subscriber to call a group member to perform group communication. The group communication can be performed by limiting to a lower level subgroup, a pair of the group representative telephone number and an identifier can be used instead of the subscriber's telephone number to determine the calling partner to make a call. | 09-24-2009 |
20090270112 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LOCATION MANAGEMENT AND LOCATION INFORMATION PROVIDING SYSTEM - In an information providing system, a user inputs desired mobile ID number to a client terminal. The client terminal transmits a request for location information on the mobile station including the mobile ID number to a location server via a location information server. The location server transmits a request for object movement information corresponding to the mobile station to an object information server. The location information server obtains the information from a traffic control device. Location information on the mobile station obtained by the location information server is transmitted to the terminal. | 10-29-2009 |
20100003969 | EMOTION RECOGNITION MESSAGE SYSTEM, MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL THEREFOR AND MESSAGE STORAGE SERVER THEREFOR - A message storage server stores a message by speech or video transmitted from a mobile communication terminal and performs emotion recognition on the message to generate emotion data. A mobile communication terminal, upon receiving a confirmation request from the message storage server of a message which the mobile communication terminal has transmitted as a message for another mobile communication terminal, displays the emotion data assigned to the transmitted message on its display. | 01-07-2010 |
20100014465 | MOBILITY MANAGEMENT METHOD AND NETWORK DEVICE - A mobility management method includes: notifying, at a mobile terminal, an edge node of a terminal function indicating that the mobile terminal has a Mobile IP client function; instructing, at the edge node, the mobile terminal to perform an operation for mobility management by using not an MIP function but an IP function when the edge node has a PMIP client function; performing, at the mobile terminal, the operation for mobility management by using the IP function in response to the instruction from the edge node; and performing, the edge node, the operation for mobility management by using the PMIP client function. | 01-21-2010 |
20100014826 | VIDEO EDITING SYSTEM, VIDEO EDITING SERVER AND COMMUNICATION TERMINAL - There are provided a video editing system, a video editing server and a communication terminal which enable simultaneous editing operations for editing a video content to be performed by plural persons, without generating a file in which a content of the editing has been reflected in the video content. One of a plurality of editing terminals in a synchronized state generates an edit command for editing a video content with an edit command generating section, based on an editing operation by a user from a terminal operating section, and transmits the generated edit command to a video editing server via an information transmitting/receiving section. If the edit command is received via an information transmitting/receiving section, the video editing server transmits the received edit command to another editing terminal in the synchronized state, via an edit command synchronizing section. If the edit command is received via the information transmitting/receiving section, another editing terminal in the synchronized state displays a content of the edit command on a screen displaying section via an edit command displaying section. | 01-21-2010 |
