Latest Patents

Watanabe's latest patents include a relay apparatus for broadcast waves. The objective of this invention is to provide a relay apparatus capable of performing normal relay transmission for broadcast waves by preventing effects caused by wraparound in a relay apparatus. For broadcast waves received by the relay apparatus, the same broadcast data are placed in each of a defined segment and a first segment other than the defined segment. The relay apparatus removes broadcast data for the defined segment from the received broadcast waves and transmits broadcast waves in which the broadcast data for the first segment have been exchanged with each of the defined segment and a second segment other than the defined segment and the first segment. As a result, the defined segment which imparts wraparound effects to the received broadcast waves is removed, allowing for normal relay transmission of the broadcast waves.

Another significant patent is for a redundant failover system, redundancy managing apparatus, and application processing apparatus. In a communication system using an IP tunnel for communication between application processing apparatuses, an application can be moved to an arbitrary processing apparatus. The update of tunnel tables included in the respective processing apparatuses is quickly performed, and a buffer for waiting for packets during the table update is minimized. A redundancy managing apparatus manages the correspondence between a virtual IP address of an application in a communication system and an IP address of a processing apparatus to execute the application.
