  • Patent number: 8760471
    Abstract: A failure analysis apparatus obtains information associated with an operational status of a data center, determines information regarding fault repair work for the data center, based on the information associated with the operational status, and transmits the information regarding the fault repair work to a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD synthesizes and presents computer graphics image data for providing guidance for a method of the fault repair work, with an image of real space, based on the information regarding the fault repair work. After the fault repair work according to the guidance presented by the HMD, if the information associated with the operational status of the data center is newly obtained, the failure analysis apparatus newly determines the information regarding the fault repair work for the data center based on the information associated with the operational status, and transmits the information to the HMD.

  • Patent number: 8659635
    Abstract: HMDs and compact cameras generate image data of display media of users, and transmit the data to a conference management server. HMDs and compact cameras further generate presentation information of the users for a conference, and transmit the information to the conference management server. The conference management server verifies the display medium by comparing an association between each user and the image data of the display medium used by the user with an association between the received image data of the display medium for the user and the user. If the verification is successful, the server transmits presentation information of the users for the conference received from the HMDs and the compact cameras to the HMDs.

  • Patent number: 8607236
    Abstract: An information processing system is provided to alleviate excessive load on a master node, thereby allowing the master node to efficiently perform the process of assigning jobs to nodes. A client 10 classifies a plurality of jobs constituting a large-scale arithmetic operation into several blocks, and requests a master node 20 to process the jobs block by block, such that the master node 20 always performs the process of assigning a predetermined number of jobs or less. Here, the predetermined number is preferably determined in such a manner as to allow the master node 20 to efficiently perform the process of assigning the jobs to nodes, even if the number of nodes is significant. As such, the client 10 has the function of controlling the load on the master node 20, and therefore it is possible to prevent the load on the master node 20 from increasing.
