Abstract: A parameter setting change method for a system that performs multicast distribution from an information distribution apparatus to a plurality of mobile stations via a relay node is provided. In the method, a parameter adjustment setting apparatus analyzes a data reception state output from the plurality of mobile stations and calculates an information-distribution-apparatus setting-change parameter and a relay-node setting-change parameter for making the data reception state within a predetermined range. Then, when the information distribution apparatus can be set to the information-distribution-apparatus setting-change parameter, the relay node performs setting change to the relay-node setting-change parameter.

Abstract: A computer program, method and computer apparatus for calculating the total importance of an electronic document on the basis of (i) a plurality of electronic documents chained to each other in a relation of referencing and being referenced, from a start electronic document which is not referenced by other electronic documents to a terminal electronic document which does not reference other documents, (ii) the information on relation of referencing and being referenced, (iii) an important phrase, and (iv) a response coefficient determining phrase such as an agreeing phrase, a disagreeing phrase, and a topic change phrase, (i) through (iv) being stored in a storage device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein properly determine relevance between persons. Embodiments herein provide a system for evaluating relevance between persons, including relevance detecting means for detecting directed relevance of a person as a target to another person based on a text in which evaluations or feelings of the other person by another person is expressed; storing means for storing the detected relevance; evaluating means for evaluating, with respect to a set of a first person and second person to be evaluated, relevance between the first person and the second person based on a plurality of relevances including the stored relevances and reaching the second person from the first person via at least one further person; and outputting means for outputting the relevance evaluated.

Abstract: A reflective screen includes a light reflecting layer, and a light diffusing layer provided on the light reflecting layer. The light diffusing layer has the diffusion property that in one (A axis) of two perpendicular axial directions on a light diffusion plane, a luminance distribution curve versus incidence angle is asymmetric with respect to the zero-incidence-angle axis, and the side on which the incidence angle (half-luminance incidence angle) with half of a peak luminance on the A axis in the normal direction to the screen plane is small faces in a direction in which external light has the highest strength.

Abstract: A candidate synonym acquisition device acquires a set of candidate synonyms similar to an input word for each writer from data for each writer, and acquires a set of candidate synonyms similar to the input word from a collective data. A generated candidate synonym set is inputted to a candidate synonym determination device to evaluate the candidate synonyms of the collective data. In the evaluation, the status of “absolute” is given to a word matching a word ranked first in the candidate synonyms for each writer and the status of “negative” is given to words matching words ranked second and lower therein.

Abstract: A system for extracting a compound from a plurality of texts is provided. The system includes an obtaining section that analyzes a plurality of first texts and obtains a compound candidate based on analysis of the plurality of first texts, a calculation section that searches a plurality of second texts for each word included in the compound candidate and calculates appearing frequencies of each word included in the compound candidate in the plurality of second texts, and a selection section that selects whether to extract the compound candidate as a compound on the basis of whether or not changes in the appearing frequencies of each word included in the compound candidate synchronize with one another when the appearing frequencies of each word included in the compound candidate are arranged as time series data.

Abstract: The object is to provide a method and system for dynamically changing the advertising contents in the advertising form integral with the contents that can expect a great advertising effect. A contents owner informs the system management server of the advertising frame information. The system provider publishes the advertising frame information. The transaction of the advertising frame reaches an agreement, the system provider notifies the advertising data management server of the advertising frame information. The advertiser pays the advertisement rate, then records the advertising data on the advertising data management server. In response to the request from the user terminal, the system management server reads the digital contents from the digital contents database, and the advertising data from the advertising database, then delivers the digital contents and the advertising data to the user terminal to display the digital contents with an advertisement.
