Estimating the term…
A client (such as a PC, portable telephone, PDA, electrical appliances), to which a device such as a IC card is connected, starts a handshake protocol to request a server to start communication. When communication is established via the handshake protocol, the initiative of communication is transferred to the server, and the state changes into a neutral state. In this neutral state, a control packet including a particular number of messages and a finished message is transmitted from the server to the client. If the client receives the control packet, the client performs a process according to the messages included in the control packet. This makes it possible to remotely control a device via a network in a highly reliable and efficient manner.
A control system comprising an information processing apparatus and an information terminal connected with each other via a network,
A control method for controlling a control system comprising an information processing apparatus and an information terminal connected with each other via a network, the method comprising an information processing method associated with the information terminal and an information processing method associated with the information processing apparatus,
An information processing apparatus for controlling a device connected with an information terminal with a particular timing via the information terminal connected via a network with the information processing apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising:
An information processing method for an information processing apparatus to control a device connected with an information terminal with a particular timing via the information terminal connected via a network with the information processing apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
A storage medium including a computer-readable program stored thereon for causing a computer to perform a process of controlling a device connected with an information terminal with a particular timing via the information terminal connected via a network with the computer, the program comprising the steps of:
