    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow setting for forming a wireless link to be automatically executed without requiring a special setting operation.
    SOLUTION: A personal computer 1 forms a wireless link with an access-point device 3 using a wireless communication function according to IEEE 802.11b of a built-in wireless communication unit, and exchanges data with, for example, a server (not shown) connected to a network 4 representatively like the Internet, via the access-point device 3. The personal computer 1 requires an SSID and a WEP KEY defined in IEEE 802.11b to be set before forming a wireless link with the access-point device 3. The setting is executed only by placing an IC card 2 within a predetermined distance of (or momentarily in contact with) an IC-card non-contact communication unit 19 of the personal computer 1. The present invention can be applied to a wireless LAN system including personal computers, PDAs, access-points, etc.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and a method which can offer device information on a device connected to a network, as information intelligible for users. SOLUTION: In response to a request for acquiring device information from a client which is a device connected to a network, an information processor, having a server function, transmits service information and physical device information corresponding to the information processor to the client. The client side, on the basis of the physical device information included in the device information received from the server, generates and displays display data, having service information associated with a physical device. This constitution permits a user on the client side, to instantly grasp the correspondence between the device and a server for offering a service. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To excellently control equipment through a general purpose network without performing the special sorting processing of commands or the like even in the case that there are a plurality of the equipment on a control side. SOLUTION: In the case that a controller controls target equipment through a prescribed network, the target equipment issues a session number regarding the control at the time of receiving the command requesting the start of the control of a prescribed application from the controller and manages the issued session number until the end of the control of the prescribed application from the controller is requested. At the time of transmitting the command controlling the application to the target equipment, the controller adds the issued session number and transmits it.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately perform printing by using a command for setting a connection between a unit plug and a subunit plug. SOLUTION: JOB-QUEUE commands C32 and C42 specifying the subunit plug of an AV/C printer subunit side are issued at 1st STB and 2nd STB and a print job and the subunit plug are made to correspond to each other; and CONNECT commands C36 and C46 are sent to set connection relation between the unit plug of a printing function part side and the subunit plug, capture commands C37 and C47 specifying the subunit plug are sent to an AV/C printer subunit, and print data are transmitted while the subunit plug is specified.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To freely attain setting in an input plug in the case of transmission through the use of a network such as the IEEE 1394 system. SOLUTION: In the case that data obtained from an output device connected to a prescribed network are sent from the prescribed output plug of the output device to the network and the prescribed input plug of an input device connected to the network receives the data, the output device confirms the address of a buffer temporarily storing the data obtained at the input plug of the input device by using an address set to a prescribed pointer in a register being a component of the input plug before starting transmission of the data, and the output device transmits the data to the confirmed address.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently acquire the information of a desired kind. SOLUTION: Plural kinds of information are stored in a descriptor structure on the information storage medium of a DSC 100. It is necessary for an IRD 200 to acquire information such as total number of objects, list of object ID and attributes of respective objects from the information storage medium of the DSC 100 for image display on a monitor 210. In order to acquire this information, the IRD 200 issues commands such as GET-NUM-OF-ENTRIES, LIST- ENTRY-ID and GET-INFO'-ELEMENTS to the DSC 100. The IRD 200 receives only the information required as a response from the DSC 100.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operability. SOLUTION: In the DCF system of a digital electronic still camera, an intra- hierarchy identification symbol DCF Directory ID ('001') of a most significant hierarchy DCF Directory, an intra-hierarchy identification symbol DCF Object ID ('0001') of a second low-order hierarchy DCF Object and an intra-hierarchy identification symbol File type ID (JPG) of a least significant hierarchy File type are coupled and defined as a file identification symbol ('0010001JPG'). The file identification symbol ('0010001000') of File type of '000' expresses the entire higher-order hierarchy DCF Object.
