A distance between positional information added to contents and a current position detected in an information receiving terminal is calculated, and based on the calculated distance, a method for outputting the contents is controlled. Thus, since the method for outputting the contents can be changed by a positional relationship between the contents and the information receiving terminal, distance relationship between the current position and the contents can be clearly displayed so that users can easily select the contents.

Information receiving terminal and information distributing system

The information delivery system is configured with a media databasewhich stores media data, a sequence information databasewhich stores sequence information for specifying the address of media data to deliver, a scene searcherwhich verifies the sequence information according to a request of the controlling media received from client terminaland retrieves appropriate media data from the media databasestarting from a prescribed point based on a result of the verification, and an output unitwhich delivers the retrieved media data to the client terminal

Information delivery system, information delivery method, information delivery server, content delivery server and client terminal

An apparatus and associated methodology provided to enable broadcast media to be reproduced quickly while reducing an overhead accompanied with the broadcast media. A broadcast communication system transmits the broadcast media from a server to a communication terminal. The server transmits broadcast notification information (SAP message) designating at least one broadcast media, and transmits reproduction information indicating a reproduction method of the designated broadcast media prior to reproduction of the broadcast media by the communication terminal. The communication terminal reproduces the broadcast media designated by the broadcast notification information (SAP message) based on the reproduction information when receiving the broadcast notification information.

Communication terminal, server, relay apparatus, broadcast communication system, broadcast communication method, and program

Acquisition portion acquires distribution rule information, user situation information, and a distribution information structured document output from contents distribution server, and evaluation object extraction portion extracts evaluation objects related with the user side situation from evaluation objects of each condition description portion contained in the distribution rule information, and user situation extraction portion extracts the situation of user terminal corresponding to evaluation objects concerned from the user situation information, and condition evaluation portion evaluates each condition description portion on the basis of the situation of the user terminal, and conversion rule information generation portion generates a conversion rule information on the basis of the result of the evaluation, and conversion portion converts a distribution information structured document on the basis of the conversion rule information, and output portion outputs the distribution information structured document to the contents distribution server.

Apparatus, method and program for converting structured document

An identifier generating method according to the present invention has a canonicalization process step of subjecting document data to a canonicalization process to correct fluctuation of expression; and an identifier generating step of, based on all or part of document data having been subjected to the canonicalization process in the canonicalization process step, generating an identifier uniquely specifying the document data or part thereof. When the fluctuation of expression is corrected by the canonicalization process, prior to the generation of the identifier in this way, the XML documents or RDF documents with the same meaning are transformed into documents in the same expression, and the identical identifier can be generated for them by a function of generating an identifier from a sequence of characters, as typified by a one-way function.

Identifier generating method, identity determining method, identifier transmitting method, identifier generating apparatus, identity determining apparatus, and identifier transmitting apparatus

A content distribution system includes plurality of cache server apparatus configured to obtain content from a distribution apparatus, and to store the content temporarily; a location information data storage unit configured to store location information data, which indicates location information of each cache server apparatus; a description data storage unit configured to store at least one item of description data, which includes the location information of a distribution apparatus; a converter configured to convert the location information of a distribution apparatus storing a requested content, which is included in description data, into location information of a specified cache server apparatus, by referring to the location information data; and a reception terminal apparatus configured to obtain the description data converted by the converter, and to receive the requested content from the specified cache server apparatus.

Method and apparatus for distributing content data over a network

There is provided a communication system capable of reducing the burden of the terminal that is connected to the Internet via the communication network such as the mobile telephone network, whose security is ensured, and is used to carry out the electronic commerce and the banking service. An encryption communication request generating portion ( ) of a client system ( ) sends out a security request of a communication route to a gateway server unit ( ), an encryption communication controlling portion ( ) of the gateway server unit sets up encryption communication between a content server unit ( ) and the gateway server unit in response to this, the content server unit encrypts data to be transmitted to the client system and then transmits it to the gateway server unit, and an encryption communication controlling portion of the gateway server unit decrypts this data and transmits it to the client system. Encryption/decryption processing systems are not needed in the client system and thus the burden can be reduced.

Communication system and communication method

A radio pager system includes a radio pager that can receive messages and can specify a specific output mode, including a display, a sound output, a vibration, and a light emission appropriate to a particular type of message. The radio pager can further reduce difficulties in retransmitting and/or replying to messages and save time in the transmission period. The radio pager can receive and implement a radio message that includes control information which can be utilized for generating the specific output mode of the display.

Radio-calling device capable of setting flexibly output mode

An information transmission control apparatus for relaying information that allows a receiver's reply, from an information provider apparatus to a plurality of information reception apparatuses. The information transmission control apparatus sets different delay time for transmitting the information to each destination, based on random numbers or instructions from the information provider apparatus. Each time delay time for any of the destinations has elapsed, the information transmission control apparatus transmits the information to one or more information reception apparatuses that are the destination.
