A notifying device predicts the position of a vehicle, on a road through which the vehicle is predicted to pass, after a lapse of the time taken for the driver to fall into an abnormal state. When the predicted position of the vehicle is included in a communication impossible area, the notifying device notifies, at the position of a point where an indication that the driver is going to fall into the abnormal state is detected, a call center terminal that the indication that the driver is going to fall into the abnormal state is detected from the driver.

Notifying device and notifying method

Provided are a first route condition acquirer to acquire a route condition of a planned travel route of a moving body, the route including a plurality of sections; a recommended operation definer to define a content of recommended operation information related to a device included in the moving body and an output point in the planned travel route at which the recommended operation information is output; a complexity level determiner to determine a complexity level of a route in one of the sections including the defined output point by using a static route condition out of the route condition of the planned travel route and, when the complexity level of the section is greater than or equal to a threshold value, determining a complexity level of each of the other sections in the planned travel route; and a recommended operation determiner to determine the output point using the determination result.

The present invention provides an outdoor unit for an air conditioner that can be constructed at low cost while reducing risk of malfunction. The outdoor unit has a compressor; a fan motor; a compressor driver board having a compressor inverter circuit and a compressor driver circuit; and a fan driver board having a fan inverter circuit and fan driver circuit. The compressor driver board has at least either: a shared control circuit that feeds a first switching signal for a compressor to the compressor driver circuit and feeds a second switching signal for a fan to the fan driver circuit; or a shared power source circuit that steps down a first DC voltage to a second DC voltage and supplies the second DC voltage to the compressor driver circuit and to the fan driver circuit.

A pre-FEC packet quality analyzermeasures quality information from a video stream which is not yet stored in a bufferand on which a recovery process using FEC is not yet carried out. A post-FEC packet quality analyzermeasures quality information from the video stream which is stored in the bufferand on which the recovery process using FEC is carried out. A video receiving terminal profile transmittergenerates a video receiving terminal profile including at least information showing the size of the buffer, and transmits the video receiving terminal profile to a home gateway device.

A client apparatus in accordance with the present invention includes a contents list request transmitting meansfor transmitting a request of a media server apparatusto transmit a contents list which is a list of metadata of contents, a contents list receiving meansfor receiving the contents list from the media server apparatus, an item list storing meansfor storing the contents list and an item list having listed items each of which is described as metadata, an item list transmitting meansfor transmitting the item list to a monitor server apparatus, a key input meansfor receiving a key input, an input key transmitting meansfor transmitting the key input to the monitor server apparatus, and an identification information receiving meansfor receiving identification information making it possible to uniquely identify each item included in the item list.

Client apparatus

A transcoder includes transcoder modulesandwhich convert the formats of contents stored in serversandinto formats which can be supported by a renderer, respectively, and an internal controllerfor comparing the format of each content stored in the serversandwith the conversion functions of the transcoder modulesandto create a transcoder content list in which contents which can be supported are described, and for transferring a content acquisition request to acquire a content to the serversand, the content acquisition request being transmitted thereto on the basis of the created transcoder content list.

Transcoder

A data gateway unit includes a configuration information update unit for examining a connection state of a terminal on a customer premise network side, and for updating configuration information on the customer premise network; a service menu unit for enumerating, in response to the configuration information on the customer premise network which the configuration information update unit updates, available services the terminal on the customer premise network side can implement; and a service presentation and selection unit for notifying a user of the available services the service menu unit enumerates, and for accepting a service selected by the user. This can solve a problem of a conventional data gateway unit in that users unfamiliar with a personal computer, home bus, or system information, cannot change the setup of the system easily because of the difficulty to create the system information.
