Patent number: 11016828Abstract: A task support system and method improve an operator's handling of an unknown new event. The task support system and method handle an event that occurred in a management target, in relation to an unknown event, and one or more event types are evaluated as event type candidates. A first event type candidate group having a high confidence score among the evaluated event type candidates is extracted and a first candidate confidence score is calculated from each confidence score of each event type candidate of the first event type candidate group. A first candidate importance is calculated from first importance held by an event type corresponding to each event type candidate belonging to the first event type candidate group and information other than the first importance. A diagram corresponding to each event is represented in a coordinate space by using the first candidate confidence score and the first candidate importance.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2020Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Keita Suzuki, Akihiro Urano

Publication number: 20050273845Abstract: If a notebook computer is used with its e-key device inserted in it, it is likely that the e-key device remains inserted in it even when the user carries the notebook computer. In case such notebook computer is left behind or stolen, both the notebook computer and the e-key device are lost or stolen together and it may be possible for the thief to steal information stored in the computer. When the user calls for standby, log-off, or shut-down operation, a message “remove the e-key device” is displayed on the screen and log-off or shut down is disabled until the e-key device is removed. This ensures that the e-key device is removed (when carrying the notebook computer) after log-off or shut down. The risk in which both the computer and the e-key device are stolen together is reduced overwhelmingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2005Publication date: December 8, 2005Inventors: Akihiro Urano, Takaaki Haruna, Yumiko Sugita
