Abstract: User validation accuracy is improved without inconveniencing a user. When an authentication request packet is received from a terminal and the authentication is successful based on a user ID and a password, an HTTP header, user-agent information, and access source IP address are extracted from the packet, and user authentication is performed by verifying the IP address and the user-agent information against usage history information where at most two sets of the IP address and the user-agent information extracted from the authentication request packet which is received from the same user previously are registered. When the set of the IP address and the UA information corresponding to the new extracted IP address and the new extracted UA information is registered in the usage history information, the authentication is successful, and the usage history information is overwritten with the new IP address and the new UA information.

Abstract: Response performance of a new type of transaction processing based on a new program, when the new type of transaction processing is executed by a computer of an information processing system, is predicted. The information processing system executes transaction processing requiring access to a database system in response to an external processing request. Upon prediction of response performance each value of a plurality of parameters related to operation that affects response speed of a database system assumed in the new type of transaction processing is acquired. The acquired each value of the plurality of parameters is inputted to a predetermined evaluation formula to calculate an evaluation value related to response performance of the new type of transaction processing.

Abstract: There is provided person oneself authenticating means for authentication of a user, which is highly secure and realizable by functions ordinarily provided by a PC, mobile phone, etc., and which is less burdensome than typical user authentication key management and authentication operations. Sound or an image is adopted as an authentication key for person oneself authentication. Authentication data is edited by combining an authentication key, which is selected by a registered user, and sound or an image that is other than the authentication key, and the authentication data is continuously reproduced in a user terminal. A time in which a user has discriminated the authentication key from the reproduced audio or video is compared with a time in which the authentication key should normally be discriminated, which is specified from the authentication data. When both times agree, the user is authenticated as a registered user.

Abstract: A transaction processing system includes an application server having a transaction processing unit, a process monitoring unit, a database server having a database, and a database management unit. The transaction processing unit sends a transaction identifier for identifying the transaction to the database management unit, requests a session process, and outputs the transaction identifier to the process monitoring unit.

Abstract: A prediction apparatus predicts an upper limit of the number of job executions per unit period in a system which executes a job responding to a request from outside. The prediction apparatus firstly acquires a sample data regarding the job. The sample data to be acquired is a sample data from which the number of job executions for each unit period in the past can be identified. Then, based on a distribution of the number of job executions identified from the sample data, the upper limit of the number of job executions per unit period in the future is predicted. Thereafter, the predicted upper limit is outputted.

Abstract: The development of an application that includes a user interface (UI), which has a specific UI screen that is directly called through an external link and displays an execution result of a specific service, is realized without coding operations. Before constructing a UI using a first tool, condition starting buttons, which respectively correspond to a plurality of services that can be provided by programs generated using a second tool and which are respectively added call programs for calling corresponding service, are generated. When a specific condition starting button is placed in a UI screen under construction and the conversion for a unconditional starting is instructed, an attribution is changed so that the button becomes invisible and the specific condition starting button is changed to a unconditional starting button by changing a call program so that the call program is unconditionally executed when the UI screen is called through a link.

Abstract: A table is used in combination with another table having a circular top plate in a top view. The table comprises a top plate on a top surface of which an article can be placed and a support portion that supports the top plate from a lower surface side of the top plate. At least a part of a peripheral edge of the top plate is provided with a contact portion which is formed into a shape so as to contact a peripheral edge of the circular top plate of another table along a circumferential direction of the circular top plate.

Abstract: A data processing device 10 receives a process request from an external interface 20 of a client terminal etc., carries out the transaction request with respect to a message according to the process request and passes to an API which forms the interface of various types of program carried out in the server 30. The data processing device 10 includes a process (n) which carries out transaction processing with respect to a message with a trade category [n], and a backup process (n) which carries out transaction processing with respect to a message in the case where the transaction processing carried out by the process (n) fails. In addition, the data processing device 10 includes an error process part 123 which isolates the cause of a failure according to a result of a process by the backup process (n).

Abstract: Each of first programs stored in a recording medium causes a computer to execute each specific type of edit process. A second program stored in the recording medium causes the computer to execute the following steps. A first step is a step of acquiring first information for designating a program file and an area to be edited and second information for designating the first program. A second step is a step of causing the computer to execute the process of editing the binary code of the area designated by the first information via the first program designated by the second information.

Abstract: The development of an application program that includes a user interface (UI), which can provide a processing parameter to be handed to a web service when a UI screen is called via a link, is realized without coding operations. When the UI screen is called via the link, in which link information is embedded with the processing parameter, a platform program obtains the processing parameter and stores the processing parameter in a corresponding storage region. A call program that has been attached to an unconditional starting button, which is located in the UI screen by a developer, in advance activates the web service by using the processing parameter in the storage region as an argument. After the processing for storing the output variables of the web service in the corresponding storage region is carried out, the processing, in which the called UI screen is generated and distributed, is carried out.
