Abstract: The present invention aims at granting easy and prompt start of wireless communications in which security is ensured without incurring addition of hardware. If a connection button provided on a surface of a PDA 1 is operated, a connection request is broadcast from the PDA 1. If the PDA 1 and a portable phone 2 are in proximity to each other, and a reception intensity of the connection request from the PDA 1 is equal to or higher than a threshold value, a request of the PDA 1 is granted by the portable phone 2. Then, an encryption key is newly generated by the portable phone 2, and is transmitted to the PDA 1 together with a communication parameter. An encryption key and the communication parameter transmitted from the portable phone 2 are acquired. Encrypted communications using the encryption key generated by the portable phone 2 are established with the portable phones 2 based on the communication parameter. The present invention is applicable to information processing apparatuses, such as the PDA and the portable phone or a notebook personal computer.

Abstract: The invention provides an information retrieval apparatus and an information retrieval method by which information can be retrieved in an improved operability. A CPU controls a video camera to fetch an image and controls a GPS to detect a current position. The CPU reads out, from within image data stored in a corresponding relationship with URLs of WWW servers, those image data which correspond to position data regarding positions around the detected current position from a WWW data base via a modem and a host machine. Then, the CPU selects, from among the read out image data, that image data which matches with the fetched data, reads out a URL corresponding to the image data and accesses a WWW server designated by the URL.

Abstract: A haptic display includes at least one haptic device that can give tactile feedback instead of visible feedback. Each of the haptic devices converts a signal from a signal producing unit into force or tactile pattern. The haptic device does not require a large mass, so that it can be provided on almost any portion or part within the body of a mobile apparatus. For example, the haptic device can be embedded under a touch panel display that constitutes both input and output device. By providing the haptic devices under respective menu/function button areas displayed on the touch panel display, it is possible to stimulate the specific button in response to the user-input-operation, thereby directly providing the tactile feedback to the user's finger touching the corresponding button.

Abstract: In general, those who are right in front of each other can share actual world events that are generated in the same working space. For example, when an audio or a light of a wave form pattern is generated, by recognizing such an actual world event, both communication apparatuses share the actual world event. Also, a shock wave generated when one communication apparatus is hit with the other is shared by both. One of the communication partners searches a network for a communication partner who is right in front with the actual world event as a clue. Thus, it is possible to perform data communications with a communication partner whose location in the actual world is clear, such as being right in front, but whose identification information in the communication medium is unknown.

Abstract translation: 一般来说，那些正确在彼此前面的人可以分享在同一工作空间中生成的世界事件。 例如，当生成音频或波形图案的光时，通过识别这样的实际世界事件，两个通信装置共享实际的世界事件。 此外，当两个共享一个通信装置被击中时产生的冲击波。 其中一个通讯伙伴搜索一个网络，找出一个与实际世界事件正好相处的沟通伙伴，作为线索。 因此，可以与在实际世界中的位置清楚的通信对方进行数据通信，诸如在前面是正确的，但在通信介质中的识别信息是未知的。
