  • Patent number: 10474698
    Abstract: An aggregation processing system includes a data transmission unit for transforming data which is a target of an aggregation process into a format of a tuple having a key and for transmitting the tuple to a data processing unit, and the data processing unit for performing an aggregation process of a tuple which has been transmitted. When a tuple transmitted from the data transmission unit is received, the data processing unit invokes an operator and performs an aggregation process. In the aggregation process, aggregated data is generated based on the tuple received by the data processing unit and a related input table, and writing to an output table or generation of an output tuple is performed based on the generated aggregated data. A plurality of aggregation processes are implemented by combining processes by the operators, and the plurality of aggregation processes are performed as one transaction.

  • Publication number: 20180188057
    Abstract: Event data for at least one moving event is received. From the event data, moving event data indicating a trend of the moving event can be generated. For each of a plurality of vehicles, historical trip pattern data can be accessed and, based on the historical trip pattern data, a probability that the vehicle will be affected by the moving event can be determined. A moving event simulation can be generated based on, at least in part, the historical pattern data and the trend of the moving event. The moving event simulation can predict future locations of the vehicle and the moving event at each of a plurality of future time intervals. Based on the moving event simulation, a determination can be made as to when the vehicle will be affected by the moving event. A notification regarding the moving event can be communicated.

  • Publication number: 20120229501
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus are disclosed for simultaneously displaying different images in one whole image display area, and easily performing the switching and selection of display. The present invention distinguishes subtle differences between images by partitioning a whole image display area into several parts, and simultaneously displaying images before and after processing, or images that are results of different processing. Furthermore, so as to easily distinguish which image is currently selected, a selection frame is displayed around the image selected. In addition, so as to easily switch the display of images, a user interface is realized, that makes it possible to easily switch display methods without clicking by a system detecting a cursor position of a pointing device, and that makes it possible to easily select a desired image by clicking.
