  • Publication number: 20130346016
    Abstract: A conventional portable terminal has trouble associating gathered activity information with other information to create useful information to be supplied to the user. Therefore, according to one aspect of the present invention, provided is an information terminal comprising an activity identifying section that gathers activity information of a user; a first detecting section that detects change in the gathered activity information; and an information providing section that, based on frequency of an activity corresponding to the detected change, provides information relating to the activity.

  • Patent number: 6479657
    Abstract: A process for producing crystal 1-kestose wherein granular crystal 1-kestose in the form of large crystals can be produced at a high yield is disclosed. A highly pure solution of 1-kestose is concentrated to a Brix of 75 or higher; either seed crystals are added, or the solution is vacuum-concentrated to generate microcrystals for use as nuclei; then, a crystal growing step by vacuum-concentration and a microcrystal dissolving step for redissolving microcrystals which have formed in the concentrate are repeated at least twice each. Alternatively, a highly pure solution of 1-kestose is concentrated to a Brix of 80 or higher; either seed crystals are added, or the solution is allowed to initiate crystallization; after crystals are allowed to grow, a cooling step where the temperature is lowered by 5° C. to 20° C. from the previous step and a crystal growing step where the concentrate is maintained at the temperature to allow the crystals to grow are repeated at least twice each.
