Patent number: 5481698Abstract: Job execution within a computer system having a plurality of host computers is handled over an electronic mail system having a terminal and server, by the use of job control processing interfacing between the computer system and the electronic mail system. Job mail comprises job offer paper mail, job execution result mail, job execution progress mail and job data mail. The electronic mail system 2 stores job mail, converts the format, etc., of the job mail, and manages the electronic mail. The job control terminal 4 converts the format, etc., of the job mail, generates commands to the computer system on interpreting the job mail, selects a host computer for executing based upon the running state and/or load, etc. of the host computers 42 of the computer system 3, generates job mail based upon execution results and execution progress from the computer system and exchanges mail between the electronic mail system and the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1993Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignees: Hitachi Ltd., Hitachi Software Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tutomu Itoh, Toshio Hirosawa, Motohide Kokunishi, Masaharu Iwanaga, Shinichi Endo

Patent number: 5408334Abstract: A job control terminal creates a unit configuration table indicating the configuration of units connected to each of a plurality of processors in a multi-processor system. The job control terminal also creates an operating state table indicating an operating state of each processor including a CPU using ratio, I/O using ratio, memory using ratio, response time, and so on. When the job control terminal receives electronic mail for requesting job execution from a user through an electronic mail terminal, the job control terminal selects a processor assigned to execute the requested job based on the unit configuration table and the operating state table. When it is determined from the states of the processors that the requested job cannot be executed, information indicating that the job is unacceptable is transmitted from the job control terminal to the electronic mail terminal.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1993Date of Patent: April 18, 1995Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., Hitachi Software Engineering Co., Ltd., Hitachi Electronics Services Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tadashi Yamagishi, Masahiko Ishimaru, Fujio Fujita, Yoshikazu Ichikawa, Hideki Namba, Motohide Kokunishi, Michio Hirano, Kaoru Kozuma, Toshio Hirosawa, Tutomu Itoh, Atsushi Ueoka, Shigeru Sasaki, Kazuyuki Nakamura

Patent number: 5231589Abstract: For signal lines to be connected from an LSI device or a module including a plurality of LSI devices as a mounted part via input/output pins thereof to external devices, pin assignment positions are determined as follows. The signal lines are classified into groups depending on attributes thereof. Priority levels are determined for the resultant groups according to the attributes. Based on relationships with respect to arrangement positions of the mounted parts to be connected to the signal lines, provisional pin positions are computed so as to minimize wiring lengths between the mounted parts. The input/output pins are assigned to the provisional pin positions for each signal line group in an order of the priority levels.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1990Date of Patent: July 27, 1993Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tutomu Itoh, Tatsuki Ishii

Patent number: 4748443Abstract: Method and apparatus for generating data for a skeleton pattern of a character and/or a painted character pattern are provided. A dot matrix pattern representative of a character pattern is stored in a memory and it is displayed on a display device, positions of a plurality of skeleton points for defining a skeleton line position of each of line segments on the displayed dot matrix pattern are specified on the display screen. Kinds of basic elements for the respective line segments are entered by an operator. Lines connecting the skeleton points of the respective line segments are superimposed on the dot matrix pattern as skeleton lines and they are displayed in a distinguishable form. A character outline pattern corresponding to the skeleton lines or a painted pattern thereof is generated based on the input skeleton point positions and the kinds of line segments.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 1985Date of Patent: May 31, 1988Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Tetsuzou Uehara, Tutomu Itoh, Motohide Kokunishi, Toshio Hirosawa

Patent number: 4745561Abstract: The interactive character font pattern creation, editing and composition control device comprises transforming a printed font into a dot string data of "0", "1" on a drum scanner or the like, expanding the dot string data of font patterns loaded in a font pattern file to a storage to displaying on a display terminal. When a terminal user executes commands for noise deletion, automatic centering, translation, rotation, scaling/zooming, and creation of a revised font pattern through composing a plurality of font patterns to the font pattern given on a display screen, the device applies an operation according to the commands with an original font pattern expanded in the storage as input, loads it then in a storage for storing a current font pattern and displays the current font pattern on the display screen of the terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1984Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Hirosawa, Tetsuzou Uehara, Tutomu Itoh, Junichi Kurihara, Motohide Kokunishi

Patent number: 4744050Abstract: Phrases in an input character string are registered in a table (phrase table), frequencies of occurrence of those phrases are counted and registered in the table, the phrases having high frequencies of occurrence are selected and macro codes therefor are determined, and those macro codes and the corresponding phrases are paired and registered in the macro table. A content of the macro table thus prepared may be displayed on a display screen. Thereafter, a user can enter a desired phrase by keying the corresponding macro code.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 1985Date of Patent: May 10, 1988Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Hirosawa, Tutomu Itoh, Tetsuzou Uehara, Junichi Kurihara
