Abstract:
A system manages resources among groups of workers that are connected to one another through a network. The system maintains the security of the resources and improves the operations of the groups.Each group manages the rights to use resources such as windows, objects, and data belonging to the group. Each group is allowed to use only resources whose rights to use are allocated to the group. The groups may exchange the resources among them through a job monitor (2). The job monitor automatically handles the rights to use the resources among the groups according to the working conditions of the groups, procedures, and a job definition form (11). The groups independently and cooperatively carry out jobs. The system employs telephones and pagers to access the members of the groups if they are absent from predetermined locations, to improve the operations of each group.
Abstract:
There is provided a terminal automatically executing access processing to a URL registered in advance on a network in response to the cancellation operation of the power saving mode. This enables to execute accessing the predetermined URL on the network only by the cancellation operation of the power saving mode without need of an extra operation for the processing. Also, in a terminal having a folding mechanism, predetermined processing is automatically executed in response to the open motion from the closed condition. This enables to execute the predetermined processing only by the open motion without need of an extra operation for the processing. Thus operability of the terminal is improve, and as a result, convenience for the user is improved.
Abstract:
A mail system equipped with a mail address manager for managing a mail address or addresses of one or more destinations. When a mail address of a particular destination is updated, the mail address manager registers the old mail address of the particular destination and a new mail address in correlation with each other. The result is that, even when the mail address of an intended destination has been updated, a mail source can proceed to send an e-mail, which is addressed to the intended destination at the old mail address, exactly to the intended destination without checking whether the mail address of the intended destination has been updated. Also at the mail source, it is possible to send an e-mail exactly to an intended destination without checking a restriction on a system environment of the intended destination.

Abstract:
In a portable electronic apparatus, a second keyboard to be manipulated with a right hand is joined to a first keyboard unit including a first keyboard to be manipulated with a left hand so that the second keyboard can be turned down. A display unit having a built-in liquid crystal display is joined to the first keyboard unit so that the display unit can be tuned down. When the display unit is turned down, the display unit engages with the second keyboard unit that is turned down. When all the parts of the electronic apparatus are closed, the electronic apparatus serves as a CD player of a CD jacket size. When the display unit is opened, the electronic apparatus has not only the capability of a DVD player but also the capability of a simple personal computer. When all the parts are left open, the electronic apparatus serves as a personal computer having a full keyboard.
Abstract:
A power consumption control method for collectively controlling the power consumption of electronic apparatuses connected to a network is provided. When an electronic apparatus is connected to the network, a management device performs power-saving control for the electronic apparatus. When the electronic apparatus is disconnected from the network, the electronic apparatus performs the power-saving control for itself. Thus, the power consumption of the clients connected to the network can be effectively reduced.
Abstract:
An information processing apparatus which drives a plurality of driving units according to data to be processed includes a first unit which detects a type of the data to be processed and a second unit which controls each of the plurality of driving units according to the type of the data to be processed. Power save control information and names of devices applied to the power save control are read from a predetermined power save mode table according to the detected type of the data and a power save operation is executed for the driving units according to the power save control information.
Abstract:
A payment system realizes payment with high flexibility, and includes: a transaction designation section designating a transaction to be settled depending on an operation; a payment way designation section capable of designating a plurality of payment way for each transaction, which designates payment way for making payment for a transaction depending on an operation; and a payment share section allowing a plurality of payment way designated by the payment way designation section to share payment for a transaction designated by the transaction designation section.

Abstract:
A data processing system at least a portion of which operates under control of an object-oriented program. The data processing system contains an object-oriented system, in which a plurality of objects are defined by the above object-oriented program, each of the plurality of objects belongs to a corresponding one of a plurality of classes as an instance of the corresponding one of the plurality of classes, and one or more inheritance relationships are defined between at least one pair of classes among the plurality of classes based on inheritance coupling information. An inheritance coupling information setting unit receives a first request, and sets at least one piece of the inheritance coupling information in a data storage area, in response to the first request. The inheritance coupling information held in the inheritance coupling information indicating unit can be referred to by at least one of the above plurality of objects.
