Abstract: This Application is intended to provide a method for effectively protecting paper or film-form media against forgery. This can be achieved by, for example, embedding in a paper or film-form medium a thin semiconductor chip up to 0.5 mm square, equipped with an antenna, and characterized in that the side walls of the semiconductor chip are formed using oxide films, and in that multiple such semiconductor chips are separated by etching. Limiting the size of these semiconductor chips to 0.5 mm or less enables improvement against bending and concentrated loads, and separating the semiconductor chips by etching results in semiconductor chips free from cracking and breakage. Also, the oxide films constituting the side walls of the semiconductor chips prevents short-circuiting at edges during connection to the respective antennas. Thus, simplified processes can be adopted.

Abstract: A client is connected to a server for providing electronic commerce services in electronic commerce. An order is transmitted for a product in response to an input by a user to the server through a communications network. A trading identifier associated with the order and data on the contents of the order is received from the server, which is stored in a storage device. Associated trading processing information includes a present status of processing for processing initiated for the order, a present status of processing for delivery of the product corresponding to the order, a present status of processing for payment processing for the trading, and the trading identifier. During updating, a trading identifier is compared with trading identifiers included in the stored trading processing information, and a warning is output if they are not coincident. Updated trading processing information is added to the trading information stored in the storage device if they are coincident.

Abstract: In a judgement support system and method, essential items to be necessarily judged and optional items to be optionally judged by a user are displayed on a menu screen, thereby allowing a judgement through intuitive knowledge of the user. After judgement results of all essential items have been inputted, the system is allowed to stop its operation. When a judgement result is inputted, an evaluation of the judgement is outputted in accordance with a predetermined rule. The evaluation includes updating a judgement item. For example, an essential judgement item is added. The menu screen is dynamically changed during judgement.

Abstract: A method of supporting decision-making for predicting future time-series data by using measured values of time-series data stored in a storage and knowledge stored in a knowledge base. The knowledge is related to interpretation and prediction of the time-series data. A plurality of time-series data stored in the storage device is prepared in an order of time-serial points corresponding to the time-series data. Knowledge which includes reference to the time-series data using a relative time interval from the time-series data is stored to the knowledge base. One the time-serial points of the time-series data is designated. Thereafter, the relative time interval in the knowledge is subtracting from the designated time-serial point to determine the time-serial point corresponding to the time-series data, and the future time-series data is inferred by using the knowledge and the time-series data.

Abstract: Fuzzy knowledge stored in a knowledge base is written into a memory. When fuzzy reasoning is executed by a fuzzy reasoning unit based on the content of the memory, a control unit in a central processing unit may modify the knowledge base in the memory. The control unit is programmed such that after it has modified the knowledge base in the memory, it causes a reasoning execution unit to repeatedly and automatically execute predetermined fuzzy reasoning by the number of times corresponding to the number of input data. The control unit also modifies the knowledge base and causes the reasoning execution unit to execute the fuzzy reasoning. By reading out the knowledge base in the memory, it is possible to verify the validity of the fuzzy knowledge without executing the simulation of the fuzzy reasoning. The fuzzy reasoning course of the reasoning execution unit may be stored in another memory.
