  • Patent number: 10147028
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for generating an information code is provided. In a generation apparatus, after data to be interpreted and data of an image to be displayed are acquired, a code figure that is provided with an image display region is generated and displayed on a display unit. After the code figure is displayed on the display unit in this way, when information designating an arrangement content of the image display region is inputted, an information code is generated. Specifically, an information code is generated in a form in which the image display region is newly arranged based on the arrangement content designated by the input, and a specification pattern region and a region to be interpreted are provided in positions other than that of the image display region. The information code generated in this way is displayed on the display unit.

  • Patent number: 9934760
    Abstract: A two-dimensional information code is provided. In the code area of this information code, there are formed a specification pattern region in which predetermined-shape specification patterns, such as position detecting patterns, are arranged, a data recording region in which data are recorded using plural types of cells, and an error-correction code recording region in which error correction codes are arranged using the plural types of cells. In the code area, a free space is formed at a position located outside the specification pattern region, the data recording region, and the error-correction code recording region. Data are not recorded by cells in the free space and error correction on the error correction codes is not applied to the free space. The free space has a size larger in area than a single cell.

  • Patent number: 9704081
    Abstract: An information code producing apparatus produces a free space inside the code region of an information code arranged on a medium such as sheets of paper. The free space is arranged at a position other than specification pattern regions. Data being interpreted, which are expressed by cells, are not recorded in the free space. The free space has a preset size which is larger than that of a single cell. The information code producing apparatus detects the size of this free space by, at least, either selection from a plurality of candidate shapes prepared in advance or input of shape designating information provided from the outside.

  • Patent number: 9686583
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a genre classification unit is provided to classify a plurality of programs based on genres with reference to program information. Further, a day classification unit is provided to classify the classified programs based on broadcast days. A display form controller sorts program information description cells of the programs classified based on days into display areas based on days on a display device. When a program information description cell of a display area of a specified day is scrolled, the display form controller controls data so as to display program information description cells of display areas of days other than the specified day in a still state.

  • Patent number: 9169520
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel cancer marker for evaluating the onset, the preclinical stage, the clinical stage, or the prognosis of a cancer in a subject, and an evaluation method using the same. A cancer marker containing at least one miRNA selected from hsa-miR-92 and hsa-miR-494 is used as a marker for cancers excluding breast cancer. A method for evaluating the possibility of cancers excluding breast cancer includes the step of detecting the expression level of a cancer marker in a biological sample collected from a subject. In this method, the cancer marker contains at least one miRNA selected from hsa-miR-92 and hsa-miR-494.
