Abstract: Aspects of invention may allow an operator to recognize that a search corresponding to search conditions set in a search folder does not function when such case occurs. In one embodiment, an information processing apparatus may include a search unit that conducts a search that corresponds to each of one or a plurality of search conditions set in a search folder, and searches for at least one folder element of the search folder. The apparatus also includes a search status confirmation unit that confirms the search status for each search condition in the search unit, and a folder-content display unit (e.g., search folder display unit) that displays, when the search status confirmation unit confirms that the search corresponding to the one or plurality of search conditions set in the search folder does not function, information indicating a malfunction.

Abstract: There is provided a frequent pattern extraction apparatus. In the apparatus, time series data for an item operation is divided into a plurality of item operation sets. Using a set degree of similarity between the item operation sets, an abstract item operation set is generated. A pattern of sequences that frequently appear is extracted from the sequences in the abstract item operation set. Using the pattern of sequences that frequently appear, an item as well as an item operation are recommended to a user.

Abstract: A method for controlling a search apparatus that searches a plurality of data each having an attribute value for each attribute item according to a search condition defined by the attribute value, the method includes detecting a change of the attribute value of one or more data of the plurality of data, changing the search condition including the changed attribute value according to the detected change of the attribute value, and performing a search according to the changed search condition.

Abstract: A folder relationship holding unit (305) manages the relationship only between parents and children of files and/or folders arranged in a hierarchical structure. An operation target of the files and/or folders managed by the folder relationship holding unit (305) is operated in a locked state. To reflect the operation result on each apparatus that manages information identical to that managed by the folder relationship holding unit (305), the apparatus is notified of the operation result at a designated timing.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a first storage unit configured to store first data to be backup, an encryption unit configured to generate second data by encrypting the first data by using a cryptographic key, a second storage unit configured to store the second data together with a first identifier of the first data, a third storage unit configured to store the cryptographic key used in the encryption of the first data, in association with the first identifier of the first data, an instruction acceptance unit configured to accept a deletion instruction for the first data stored in the first storage unit, and a deletion unit configured to delete, from the third storage unit in accordance with the deletion instruction, the cryptographic key associated with the first identifier of the first data for which the deletion instruction is accepted.

Abstract: Range of the object of search is specified without specific designation by the user. In case changing of the image is instructed by an image operation portion, an image changing portion changes the image and displays such image on an image display portion, and the displayed image is held in a scope holding portion as the range of the object of search. The operation from a map operation portion also is similarly processed, whereby the range of the document constituting the object of search can be specified without specific designation by the user.

Abstract: In an environment in which a plurality of landscape images are held at distributed locations, virtual walkthrough is implemented by making display transition to another landscape image obtained by sensing a landscape that neighbors a displayed landscape upon displaying an image of a given landscape.

Abstract: A router obtains a network address generated by a PC connected to a LAN, and the identification data (MAC address) unique to the PC. When the obtained network address does not match the network address (EUI-64) generated from the obtained identification data unique to the PC according to a predetermined rule, the router sends a collision message.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a web browser apparatus and a web browsing method that allows a user to perform web browsing by simple operations of filling in a paper medium and inserting the paper medium in the apparatus. According to the present invention, an action identification code for deciding the next action is extracted from an input image and analyzed. The next action is decided based on an analysis result of the action identification code and the input image. Page data is obtained from a web server in accordance with the decided action. If a user instructs by filling in a physical medium on which the obtained page data is printed, an action identification code to be used for deciding an action corresponding to the instruction is prepared based on the page data obtained from the web server. An output image is prepared based on the prepared action identification code and the obtained page data and controlled to be printed on a physical medium (such as a paper medium).

The method includes calculating scores of search results of pieces of data in data groups, each data group being derived from the same data, on the basis of the version data, and determining the order of the search results on the basis of the scores.

Abstract: A table in an HTML document is analyzed to generate cell position data indicating a positional relationship between cells and cell vectors representing characteristics of the cells, and a table type is judged with reference to the cell position data and the cell vectors, and, if the table type is a table describing a table, it is judged whether the data is represented in a column or a row with reference to the cell position data and the cell vectors, and a cut direction of the table is determined, and segments are generated with reference to the table type and the cut direction. If the table type is a table for layout, the cells are clustered with reference to the cell vectors, and the segments are generated with reference to the cell position data and cell cluster information.
