Patent number: 8019761Abstract: A design support apparatus extracts feature data corresponding to design data to be searched upon receiving the design data to be searched. The apparatus checks the extracted feature data against the feature data associated with the feature associated information, ordering the design data associated with the feature associated information in descending order of similarity to the design data to be searched, retrieving one piece of the ordered design data. The apparatus generates a classification hierarchy consisting of pieces of classification data obtained by classifying a set of the retrieved design data based on a degree of feature similarity using the feature data associated with the feature associated information. The apparatus selects the design information closely associated with the classification data by fetching the design information corresponding to the design data contained in the classification data from the design associated information associating the design data and the design information.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2008Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Yusuke Uehara, Takayuki Baba, Susumu Endo, Shuichi Shiitani, Daiki Masumoto, Shigemi Nagata

Patent number: 7899274Abstract: This invention is to enable retrieving of a content the searcher imagines in mind. The search method includes: obtaining a query brain image representing a brain activity state of a searcher when perceiving or imagining the content to be retrieved; identifying the content corresponding to the query brain image by using a structure associating a content with a brain image representing the brain activity state when perceiving the content; and outputting the content corresponding to the query brain image. Thus, by using the query brain image, without specifically indicating the content such as a drawing, the searcher can extract the pertinent content only by imaging the content.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2007Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Takayuki Baba, Susumu Endo, Shuichi Shiitani, Yusuke Uehara, Shigemi Nagata, Daiki Masumoto

Publication number: 20100153449Abstract: An image retrieval method includes reading from a first database a first image group mapped to an object as a retrieval target, and extracting an image feature quantity of a plurality of images of the first image group. A second image group mapped to an object as a search key is read from a second database and an image feature quantity of a plurality of images of the second image group is extracted. Similarity is determined between the first image group and the second image group, based on the image feature quantity of the plurality of images of the first image group and the image feature quantity of the plurality of images of the second image group. On an output device, as retrieval results, the plurality of images of the first image group are displayed in order of similarity of the object as the retrieval target based on determined similarity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2009Publication date: June 17, 2010Applicant: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Takayuki BABA, Masaki ISHIHARA, Susumu ENDO, Shuichi SHIITANI, Yusuke UEHARA, Daiki MASUMOTO, Shigemi NAGATA
