  • Patent number: 5870750
    Abstract: A division code is added to both ends of a group of pieces of data registered in an item of a data record L and between each pair of adjacent data, so that a piece of code-added data is produced. Thereafter, a character chain pattern (C1,C2) of each pair of adjacent characters C1 and C2 in the code-added data is prepared, an occurrence frequency Fi of each character Ci in each piece of data H is calculated, and character chain information (F1,F2,H,L) corresponding to each character chain pattern (C1,C2) is prepared. Therefore, a index file in which pieces of character chain information prepared for the same item of a plurality of data records are listed is prepared. When a keyword is input by a user, the division code is added to both ends of the keyword to produce a code-added keyword, and a series of keyword character chain patterns is prepared from the code-added keyword in the same manner.

  • Patent number: 5418712
    Abstract: There is disclosed an evaluating apparatus for evaluating a manipulation performance of a commodity with operating parts. Three dimensional position and orientation of a first body like an operator's fingertip is detected to virtually display the first body. Also, configuration and functions of operating parts planned to be attached to a commodity are set, and three dimensional position and orientation of a second body like a commodity model having the same external shape as that of the commodity is detected to virtually display the commodity with the operating parts. When a planned area of the second body is manipulated by the first body, a contact of the second body with the first body is detected, and an operating part Po placed at a position corresponding to the planned area is detected. Thereafter, the operating part Po of which an external shape is virtually changed by the manipulation of the first body is displayed according to the configuration and function of the operating part Po.
