An information processing system includes: an obtainer that obtains request information for requesting presence/absence related information indicating presence or absence of a user in a building; and an outputter that outputs, in response to the request information obtained, the presence/absence related information identified by identification information included in the request information.

Information processing system and information processing method

An information processing system includes: a receiver that receives a signal transmitted by a call button including a push button, and a communicator which transmits the signal outside in response to detection of an operation performed on the push button by a user; and an outputter that outputs (i) first notification information, when the signal is received in a first time period within a predetermined period, and (ii) second notification information different from the first notification information, when the signal is received in a second time period within the predetermined period which is different from the first time period.

A secure device is provided that can store programs therein, the secure device including: a low-protection level storage unit; a high-protection level storage unit; a program acquiring unit that acquires a program and corresponding additional information, the additional information used for determining a storage destination of the acquired program; an additional information analyzing unit that stores the acquired program in one of the low-protection level storage unit and the high-protection level storage unit, according to additional information; an area searching unit; a protection level judging unit; and a program storing unit.

Secure device

Provided is an IC card capable of downloading a card manager even after issuance of the IC card. A first card manager stored in the ROM of an IC card is made to be capable of downloading a privileged application, which is an application having a privilege, and a privileged API in the ROM is made accessible from the downloaded privileged application. When the privileged application accesses the privileged API, the privileged application can operate as the card manager, so that the IC card can download a card manager even after issuance of the IC card.

IC card with capability of having plurality of card managers installed

Contents of each of nodes indicating a plurality of hyper-text documents are prepared and revised in a node managing unit as node information. A connection-relationship between two nodes is established and revised for each of the nodes in a hierarchy structure managing unit as hierarchy structure information, and a hierarchy structure of the nodes is established. In this hierarchy structure, one node ranked to the top level is set as a parent node, and the other nodes are set to child nodes. Thereafter, a plurality of hyper-text documents arranged in the hierarchy structure are prepared from the node information and the hierarchy structure information. Therefore, because the contents of each node is managed in dependence of the preparation of the hierarchy structure, the hyper-text documents arranged in the hierarchy structure can be easily prepared.

Hierarchical based hyper-text document preparing and management apparatus

A plurality of elements of a document is classified into a plurality of services respectively relating to a meaning, and a plurality of nodes respectively indicating one element are prepared in a node preparing unit. Therefore, each of services is a partial set of nodes. Also, a plurality of inner-service links respectively connecting a pair of nodes of the same service are prepared by an inner-service link preparing unit, so that a reference relationship between the nodes is indicated by one inner-service link. Also, a plurality of inter-service links respectively connecting a pair of nodes of different services are prepared by an inter-service link preparing unit, so that a reference relationship between the nodes of different services is indicated by one inter-service link. A hyper-text document is prepared by connecting the nodes prepared by the node preparing unit through the inner-service links for each service and connecting the nodes of the services through the inter-service links. Accordingly, because the nodes are classified into the services, the hyper-text document can be easily prepared, and the hyper-text document can be easily renewed. Therefore, a user can easily manage the hyper-text document.
