Patent EP-1229721-A3 (EP)
Inventor: WATANABE YOSHIAKI
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2002-01-31
Abstract: A particular-information displaying method
according to the present invention comprises the steps
of causing a user's communication device (16) to
transmit particular identification information to a
first server (20), causing the first server (20) to
transmit an image of a service button (28) or banner
advertisement to the user's communication device (16),
the service button (28) or banner advertisement
corresponding to the received particular identification
information, causing the user's communication device
(16) to receive the image data, and causing the user's
communication device (16) to display the received image
of the service button (28) or banner advertisement on
the image viewer displayed on the display device (22).
Thus, software such as the image viewer can be easily
and reliably customized, and an image of the service
button (28) or banner advertisement instructing any of
various services to be carried out can be easily
customized for display on the display device (22) of the
user's communication device (16). Further, the user
obtains a shop ID from a service company using a digital
camera (112) having a short-distance communication
function while he or she is out, and transmits the shop
ID from a client computer (110) to a menu server (120).
The menu server (120) transmits menu button information
corresponding to the received shop ID to the client
computer (110). Upon receiving this menu button
information, the client computer (110) displays menu
buttons (151) on a display (150) so as to access a
service server (130) of the corresponding service
company on the basis of operation of the menu buttons
(151). A menu server operation company administering
the menu server (120) bills service companies desiring
to register their menu buttons (151). Thus, the user 
can easily obtain information on the service company in
which he or she is interested. Further, each service
company can efficiently provide information only to
target users. Furthermore, profits obtained by the
service company can be reliably billed.

the two connector components (11,12) to pivot one relative to the other about
an axis substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal direction, a first (11) of
said connector components providing a fixed location of the retention means
(21) relative to said first of the two components and a second (12) of said
components having an aperture (36) which is of elongate form in a plane
perpendicular to said major axis whereby, during construction of a handrail
installation, the second member (53) may be selectively positioned relative to
the first member, said retention means (21) being operable firmly to secure
the two head portions relative to one another.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a digital mobile phone of a type using a subscriber
identification module, the improvement being that there is an externally
attached holder for at least two subscriber identification modules so that either
can be readily selected by a switch for use in the same phone. There are also
described flexible circuits that are used to connect the electrical contacts used
conventionally for reading a subscriber identification module by the phone
inside the phone that are able to slip through gaps that are naturally occurring
between protective covers of the phone because of necessary manufacturing
tolerances so that the external subscriber identification modules can be
connected without prejudicing manufacturers warranties on any phone.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is disclosed including at least
a plurality of image bearing members, a plurality of image
forming units each including plural image forming members (3Y,3M,3C,3Bk) for
operating image forming steps onto each of the image bearing
members, and a further image bearing member (12), which are held
collectively on an image bearing member holding component,
image forming unit holding component and second image bearing
member holding component, respectively. By further providing
a contact/ detach mechanism adapted to detaching movements,
within said image forming apparatus, of the image bearing
member holding component and the second image bearing
member holding component in relation to the image forming unit
holding component, the mechanism is greatly simplified with
relatively simple and less expensive construction of the
mechanism disclosed herein, through eliminating plural contact/detach
mechanisms separately provided for the noted holding
components and also providing one integrating power sources for
use in driving plural units in common. As a result, the
previously known disadvantage in image forming apparatus such
as contact residue images which are unduly caused by continual
contact of the photoreceptors to image forming units and
intermediate transfer belt can be obviated, as an example.
A display on a cover covering the holding member is provided.

Abstract: A tube fitting for a tube end has a female threaded member that cooperates with a male threaded member. The female member includes a tube gripping device in the form of a gripping ring or ferrule that is attached to the female member by a fungible web. Upon a partial pull-up the female engages a camming surface on the male threaded member and breaks off or separates from the female threaded member to become a separate piece so that the fitting then functions as a single ferrule tube fitting. Additional features include a steep camming angle on the camming surface to cause the ferrule to grip the tube end with a bite-type action and to form a primary seal between the camming surface and a front end of the separated ferrule. The ferrule front end, and optionally the entire female threaded member including the initial integral tube gripping device, are hardened to be at least about 3.3 times harder than the material of the tube end.

Inventor: MCKINNON STEVE J
IPC: H04M3/46
Filed: 2003-12-17
Abstract: The present invention provides distributed communication services
based on a presence technology platform. Presence messaging and
communication techniques allow a variety of communication agents to
cooperate with one another to provide distributed services. Essentially, the
messaging between the agents is used to facilitate media sessions and
update participating devices of state changes bearing on providing the
services. In one embodiment, each of the participating devices is associated
with a logic entity, referred to as a presentity, which subscribes to notification
services for the other participating devices. When a state change occurs on
any one of the participating devices, the corresponding presentity notifies the
other devices of the state change. As such, each participating device knows
the status of the other participating devices via the presentities and can
systematically determine when and how to provide services based on its
current state and the current state of the other participating devices.
