  • Patent number: 11429676
    Abstract: A first user request which specifies a target document set wherein a first subset of the documents is flagged by a user. A primary flag table is created for the target document set. A first document subset is created matching the first user request. It is determined whether a number of flagged documents exceeds a first threshold. If so, a secondary flag table is created for the first document subset and flag data corresponding to the first document subset is stored in the secondary flag table. The flag data in the secondary flag table is merged into the primary flag table.

  • Publication number: 20220166739
    Abstract: In a message processing device processing a message to be sent from a sender to a user, an acceptor accepts a draft message generated by each of a plurality of senders. A registrant registers, in a database, a parts element satisfying a predetermined requirement from among elements included in the accepted draft message. A specifier specifies a non-parts element not satisfying the requirement from among elements included in the accepted draft message generated by a first sender. A display image generator generates a display image by applying a predetermined drawing engine to the specified non-parts element. A comparison image generator generates a comparison image by applying the drawing engine to an element acquired by expanding the registered parts element. A calculator calculates a degree of similarity between the generated display image and the generated comparison image.
