The present invention pertains to a power monitoring device configured in such a manner as to make it as easy as possible to perform power monitoring, notification and control for customers in coordination with the power utilization rate of a utility grid. The power monitoring device is provided with: a target power setting unit that receives, from outside, information indicating the power utilization rate of a utility grid by time, and, with regard to time periods in which the power utilization rate is greater than a prescribed threshold value, reduces preset target power consumption levels, and sets target power consumption levels by time; and an assessment and control unit that obtains, from outside, the power usage of power-consuming devices, and performs control in order to save power for the power-consuming devices in time periods in which the obtained power usage exceeds the target power consumption level.

In a multimode mobile station capable of communicating with a plurality of cellular systems where a current cellular system which the mobile station has acquired and a cellular system which the mobile station tries to access differ, access-failure information is stored at access failure time. The access-failure information includes any one of, or the combination of information on access failure such as access-system type, access time information, access location information, access failure reason, number of access failures, etc. Since an access cellular system is selected on the basis of the stored access-failure information, even when a current cellular system which the mobile station has acquired and a cellular system which the mobile station tries to access differ, it is possible to shorten re-acquisition time and to reduce power consumption.

The first communication unitperforms data communication in a first communication mode specializing in packet communication via a first communication system A. The second communication unitperforms data communication in a second communication mode supporting voice communication via a second communication system B. The control unitcontrols the first communication unitand second communication unit. The control unitcontrols the first communication unitto perform data communication via the first communication system A until a voice communication start instruction is received. The control unitdetermines whether to perform data communication via the second communication system B based on access control information on the second communication system B in response to the reception of a voice communication start instruction.

Wireless communications device, and method and program for determining reception level of the wireless communications device

A controller of the communication terminal identifies, after power is turned on, whether or not to use a cellular phone communicating unit or a wireless LAN communicating unit based on communication system information stored beforehand in a storing unit. When the identification is complete, the controller initializes the cellular phone communicating unit, and, according to results of the identification, causes the cellular phone communicating unit to enter standby state or sleep state. Next, the controller initializes the wireless LAN communicating unit, and, according to results of the identification, causes the wireless LAN communicating unit to enter standby state or sleep state. When an application which using a wireless communicating unit in sleep state is launched, the controller causes that wireless communicating unit to enter standby state from sleep state.

Communication terminal and computer-readable storage medium

A wireless communication terminal has a first wireless communication unit which performs data communication via a first wireless communication system and a second wireless communication unit which performs voice communication via a second wireless communication system. When an instruction of starting a voice communication is given, a temporal withdrawal process is started to the first wireless communication system, and an acquiring process of the second wireless communication system is started. After the voice communication ends, until a predetermined time elapses, an acquiring state of the second wireless communication system by the second wireless communication unit is continued. After the predetermined time has elapsed, the acquiring state of the second wireless communication system is cancelled, and a temporal withdrawal cancelling process is started to the first wireless communication system.

A mobile communication terminal includes a proximity wireless communication unit and a control command generating unit. The proximity wireless communication unit performs wireless communication directly with another mobile communication terminal present in a communicationable range. When the proximity wireless communication unit is capable of communicating with another mobile communication terminal, the control command generating unit generates a control command which is associated with an internal state and which is for controlling another mobile communication terminal, and transmits the control command to another mobile communication terminal through the proximity wireless communication unit.

First, a control device determines a reproduction-display device, from which the control device has been able to obtain neighborhood device information via a short-range wireless communication section, to be located in the neighborhood of the control device, and registers this reproduction-display device to neighborhood determination information. Next, the control device detects the reproduction-display devices connected to a network, to which a content server is connected, using a network communication section and registers these reproduction-display devices to reproduction device registration information. The reproduction-display device, which is registered in both of the reproduction device registration information and the neighborhood determination information, is designated by priority, and reproduces and displays content.

A wireless LAN device determines whether there is a necessity to search for a base station based on base station information as to a currently associated first base station, and selects all or a part of base station search conditions stored in advance to search for the base station when there is the necessity for searching the base station. When detecting at least one base station, the wireless LAN device determines whether there is a necessity to execute a handover based on base station information of each of the detected base station and the first base station. If the handover is necessary, the wireless LAN device determines the second base station from the base stations and associates the wireless LAN device with the second base station.

Reception of a list including information on a content not receivable at a current location is avoided in acquiring a multicast content list. A portable terminal searches a wireless base station which can communicate with the portable terminal at a current location thereof, and transmits available sector identification information for identifying the searched wireless base station to a content information server. Based on the available sector identification information and multicast detailed information on a content distributed by the wireless base station, the content information server transmits a list of contents receivable at the current location of the portable terminal to the portable terminal. The portable terminal selects a content from the content list in accordance with user's manipulation, and makes transition to a channel where the selected content is distributed based on the multicast detailed information.
