Publication number: 20190364157Abstract: A web catalog generator generates a web catalog including content to be presented on a customer terminal. The web catalog generator includes a memory, an input receiver, and a main generator. The memory stores at least one template file that specifies the content and a presentation position where the content is to be presented. The template file includes at least one template. The input receiver receives content information that is information on the content. The main generator replaces content information already included in the template file with the content information received by the input receiver, and causes the memory to store the template file including the content information received by the input receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2019Publication date: November 28, 2019Inventors: Takeomi OHTA, Kazutoshi FUNAKOSHI, Takeshi TOZUKA, Koichiro TAKAGISHI, Hiroki HORIUCHI

Patent number: 10449686Abstract: A candidate point selection processor selects, as candidate points, vertices on an outline. A search point selection processor selects, from the candidate points, a reference search point to be used to search for a point that serves as a cutting line endpoint. A reference line setting processor sets a reference line connecting a reference point with the search point. A candidate line setting processor sets candidate lines connecting the search point with the candidate points other than the search point. A candidate line selection processor selects, as a selected candidate line, the candidate line located only within a non-effective region. An angle calculation processor calculates an angle between the reference line and the selected candidate line. A cutting line setting processor sets a cutting line connecting the search point with the candidate point of the selected candidate line defining an angle with the reference line that is the smallest angle calculated.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: ROLAND DG CORPORATIONInventors: Takeshi Tozuka, Kazutoshi Funakoshi
