An input position processing program detects a series of pieces of position data based on input positions outputted from a pointing device, and defines a reference position. When the last piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than a reference area, an operation is to be performed determined based on a direction that extends from the reference position to the defined area indicated by the last piece of position data. When an intermediate piece of position data indicates a point within a defined area other than the reference area and the last piece of position data indicates a point within the reference area, the operation to be performed is determined based on the combination of directions representing a reciprocal movement between the reference position and the defined area indicated by the intermediate piece of position data.

A card verification system in which a card identification code is registered. A read unit reads the card identification code from the card. A verification apparatus verifies the card only when an existing place of the read unit belongs to an area corresponding to the card identification code. The card is a card used for settlement, and is used when the card identification code is read by the read unit. The use place of the card is coincident with the existing place of the read unit. By adding the use place of the card to a verification condition of the card, unjust use of the card can be prevented.

A method for controlling a media message upload through a wireless communication network is disclosed. In one aspect of the present invention, when a communication terminal uploads particular media data to an application server, the communication terminal uploads the media data by organizing it into a plurality of segments and one response message is issued by the application server for a predefined number of segments. If an upload error occurs, the upload can be easily resumed without verification of the uploaded data based on a sequence number of a segment provided by the application server. When a data upload is cancelled intentionally befA method for controlling a media message upload through a wireless communication network is disclosed. In one aspect of the present invention, when a communication terminal uploads particular media data to an application server, the communication terminal uploads the media data by organizing it into a plurality of segments and one response message is issued by the application server for a predefined number of segments. If an upload error occurs, the upload can be easily resumed without verification of the uploaded data based on a sequence number of a segment provided by the application server. When a data upload is cancelled intentionally before completed, the data upload can be easily cancelled through an exchange of a request and a response between the communication terminal and the application server.

A system and method are provided for assisting user devices in performing OFDMA downlink interference cancellation, in which an interfering base station transmits a downlink signal in a first slot and a second slot, both slots including cell reference signals (CRSs) for physical channel estimation, the CRS of the second slot is modified to indicate encoded values of parameters characterizing the physical channel according to an encoding procedure, the slots are received by a served user device that detects the physical channel parameters carried by dedicated control signalling and encodes them by the encoding procedure, an unchanged CRS is reconstructed, and the slots are received by an interfered user device obtaining the encoded values and comparing to parameter patterns indicating absence of modifications in the CRSs, wherein if the encoded values are different from the patterns, the interfered user device decodes them to perform interference cancellation of the downlink signal.

A door latch system of a motor vehicle comprises a latch unit mounted to the vehicle body. The latch unit has a latch condition to latch the door at a closed position and an unlatch condition to unlatch the door thereby to release the door. The system further comprises a power latch canceling mechanism mounted to the vehicle body. The power latch canceling mechanism includes an actuator that, when energized, enforcedly causes the latch unit to assume the unlatch condition. The system further comprises a manual latch canceling mechanism mounted to the vehicle body. The manual latch canceling mechanism includes a handle member that is placed at a position other than a vehicle cabin of the vehicle and a power transmitting member that transmits a movement of the handle member to the latch unit. The manual latch canceling mechanism causes the latch unit to assume the unlatch condition when the handle member is manipulated.

Processing for extending function of an information processing apparatus having functions, the use of which is restricted, is managed by canceling the restriction of the use of function in association with an information storing device which is connected to information processing apparatus A, B. The information storing device holds information on a list of product keys and the number of possible function extensions (the number of restriction cancellations and the number of licenses) as information for canceling the restriction in advance. The number of information processing apparatus, the functions of which are extended, is managed by reducing the number of possible function extensions each time when one function of the information processing apparatus A is extended. Unnecessary function is deleted from the information processing apparatus A so as to increase the number of licenses. Correspondingly, the function of the information processing apparatus B can be extended.

A customer of an eating house orders refreshments by pressing a first touch panel provided at a customer's seat, watching a liquid-crystal monitor on which a menu of the refreshment and an average cooking time thereof are displayed. A cook inputs cooking-state information with a second touch panel provided in a kitchen when cooking is started and is completed. The cooking-state information is displayed on the liquid-crystal monitor so that it is possible to confirm a cooking state of the ordered refreshment. When the ordered refreshment is untouched, the customer can cancel or urge the refreshment by pressing the first touch panel. Upon instructing a check with the first touch panel, the check is printed out from a printer. The customer can order, cancel and urge the refreshments without calling a waitperson.
