A system for integrating video programming with the vast information resources of the Internet. A computer-based system receives a video program with embedded uniform resource locators (URLs). The URLs, the effective addresses of locations or Web sites on the Internet, are interpreted by the system and direct the system to the Web site locations to retrieve related Web pages. Upon receipt of the Web pages by the system, the Web pages are synchronized to the video content for display. The video program signal can be displayed in a video window on a conventional personal computer screen. The actual retrieved Web pages are time stamped to also be displayed, on another portion of the display screen, when predetermined related video content is displayed in the video window. As an alternative, the computer-based system receives the URLs directly through an Internet connection, at times specified by TV broadcasters in advance. The system interprets the URLs and retrieves the appropriate Web pages. The Web pages are synchronized to the video content for display in conjunction with a television program being broadcast to the user at that time. This alternative system allows the URLs to be entered for live transmission to the user.

Maintaining a file specifying a “donut” of dynamic, hierarchical, shared user-profile information. The donut contains a user profile or acts as a key to a data repository containing it, and it specifies user-profile information such as user characteristics, viewing preferences, hobbies, and spending habits. The donut is accessed by browser programs, associated web server programs, and other applications for use in routing content to the user associated with the donut.

An open network system supports input / output (I / O) operations for non-standard I / O devices coupled to an open network. The system includes a server coupled to a plurality of I / O devices through an open network, at least some of the I / O devices being non-standard I / O devices. The non-standard I / O devices communicate with a client program that processes extended open network protocol statements. The extended open network protocol statements communicated between the server and the non-standard I / O devices are processed by the server and the client program to support I / O operations between the non-standard I / O devices and the server or application programs coupled to the server.

In a system including a first unit retaining a first identifier and a second unit retaining a second identifier for reading out the first identifier from the first unit to transmit, as cooperation information, a combination of the first identifier and the second identifier, for managing the cooperation information, a cooperation information managing apparatus receives the cooperation information and registers the second identifier included in the cooperation information and a group of a plurality of first identifiers including the first identifier included in the cooperation information in a state associated with each other. For managing objects to be used by a user, this enables managing the objects as an aggregation without handling the objects individually, thereby realizing efficient management from a user's point of view.

A control center transmits failure information transmission request information to a vehicle. The vehicle receives the failure information transmission request information transmitted from the control center. A navigation ECU and a gateway ECU obtain failure information from each ECU in cooperation with each other. At this time, the gateway ECU determines whether a data volume of the failure information is larger than a predetermined information volume. When it is determined that the data volume of the failure information is larger than the predetermined information volume, the gateway ECU divides the failure information into plural pieces, and outputs each piece of information. Also, the ECU does not output the failure information, which is output to a network built in the vehicle, to the navigation ECU, while a failure information obtaining device is connected. Meanwhile, the control center does not receive the failure information while the failure information obtaining device is connected.

Beacon-poll frames are transmitted from a station (STA) to a wireless AP in an opportunistic manner. In response to receiving a beacon-poll frame, the wireless AP transmits a unicast beacon frame to the STA, thereby eliminating the need for the STA to periodically wake up to receive broadcast beacon frames from the AP. The wireless AP may transmit the unicast beacon frame at a higher speed than a conventional broadcast beacon frame. As a result, the time that the STA must be awake to receive the unicast beacon frame is significantly less than the time that the STA must be awake to receive a conventional broadcast beacon frame, thereby resulting in significant power savings within the STA. The wireless AP may aggregate downlink (DL) data packets to be transmitted to the STA with the unicast beacon frame, resulting in further power savings within the STA.

The present invention relates to a broadband wireless access system, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for efficiently allocating resources to terminals in a random access system. The method for performing such a random access procedure of a terminal in a broadband wireless system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: transmitting a preamble sequence to a random access region in a base station; and receiving from the base station ACK information indicative of a received state of the preamble sequence. The ACK information receiving step is preferably a step of decoding a map information element that is masked as an identifier of the random access region.

There are provided a radio base transceiver station and a method of connecting the same to a network, whereby a home radio base transceiver station is connectable in an automated manner to a network (network) of a mobile communications operator and the security is ensured in the reception of information. A network interface section 201 that transmits and receives various types of information with the network of the mobile communications operator; a mobile communications operator identifying section 202 that identifies an authorized mobile communications operator; a VPN (Virtual Private Network) setting section 203 that sets up a VPN with a network of the authorized mobile communications operator; an installation location recognizing section 204 that recognizes an installation location of the radio base transceiver station; a surrounding environment recognizing section 205 that recognizes a surrounding environment; a recognition result notifying section 206 that notifies theses recognition results to the network; and a connection setting section 207 that connects the radio base transceiver station to an upper node and sets up an operation parameter based upon configuration data supplied from the network.
