Network connecting device and method

A network connection device includes: one or more network devices; a network switching control section configured to determine a second network as a candidate network to which connection is subsequently switched from a first network to which a network device is currently connecting; a network relation state determination section configured to determine whether or not the network device is used for forming a PAN; a disconnection-caused disadvantage determination section configured to determine whether or not a disadvantage to a user will be caused by switching connection to the second network, based on the result of the determination by the network relation state determination section; and a switching acceptability determination section configured to prohibit switching connection to the second network when the result of the determination is that a disadvantage to the user will be caused.

Network connection device and method

In a network connecting device connectable to a network, a connection approval/disapproval determination section determines approval/disapproval of connection to a network in accordance with a connection approval/disapproval determination rule managed by a connection approval/disapproval determination rule management section. When there is a security problem in a content of the connection approval/disapproval determination rule if a connection is to be formed, the security problem is solved by having a user re-input authentication information in the content of the connection approval/disapproval determination rule.

Terminal devices and a method of transferring sets of transmission document information in a network system between terminal devices such as portable devices which can be grouped together into a plurality of different groups is provided. A terminal device can store capability information relative to a specific type of data that can be received and outputted. The terminal device can receive an inquiry from another terminal device as to the capability information and can transmit the capability information when appropriate to the inquiring terminal device. Various types of capability information can be stored, depending upon the particular capabilities of the terminal device such as picture data, audio data and character data to enable the terminal device to be an e-mail terminal.

Terminal device for controlling transmission size of documents with capability of receiving device

A processor means is connected with other individual means, and controls those individual means. Storage means stores data to be processed by the processor means and the resultant data after the process. An important data in the storage means is transmitted to other devices for evacuation by using a wireless communication means, when a situating condition of a portable information-processing device is judged abnormal (e.g., when being stolen) based on an output of a status detector means. The data in the storage means is deleted, when the transmission is completed or the transmission is interrupted. Protection of the data and the confidentiality are thus achieved even if the portable information-processing device is stolen, since the data can be evacuated, and the data is erased after completion of the data evacuation or if the data evacuation becomes not attainable.

Portable information processing device having data evacuation function and method thereof

An image display device has a serial port as data input and output port for the system, and input and output data converting element for mutually converting the data format of input and output data for wireless communication. A data processing device has input and output processing virtual element for processing data input and output virtually as if the data input and output port are connected directly. The input data of the serial port is converted by the input and output converting element, and is transmitted to the data processing device through a wireless unit, and is processed through the input and output processing virtual element. The output data of the data processing device is transmitted to the image display device in the wireless unit by way of the input and output processing virtual element, and is converted by the input and output data converting element, and is issued to the serial port. At this time, depending on whether the serial port is being used or not, the control level of power saving operation is changed. In this configuration, the input and output peripheral device can be used at the display side, and power saving control in harmony between display function and input and output peripheral device function is realized.
