An apparatus and method for managing and characterizing clock domains in multi-domain networks are disclosed. Channel information which can know the number of programs or program numbers received through a currently selected major channel is displayed. The indicating mechanism preferably includes an arm, an arm mount, and an indicator device. On the basis of second data D2, which includes a feature quantity of information generated according to an activity of a second evaluation target person, and the condition CO, the evaluation unit 12 calculates an evaluation value E2 of the second evaluation target person. The resulting bit map is used to determine which physical ports the data is routed to, blocking any requested destinations that are not appropriate destinations based on the port security bit map. The device includes: a frame, and one or more panels that are engageable with said frame, wherein the device has a shape representative of a pre-determined object associated with a theme, and wherein at least one panel depicts selected information associated with the theme.
