Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product classifies a plurality of objects displayed on a display device and displays the classified plurality of objects. The method comprises: selecting one object from a plurality of objects as a selected object; and classifying the plurality of objects, where classification of each of the plurality of objects is based on a degree of association with the selected object. Classifying the plurality of objects comprises: reading a feature setting for computation of the degree of association; specifying a plurality of features that are subject to the computation of the degree of association; computing, for each of the plurality of objects, the degree of association based on a difference in feature value from the selected object with regard to the plurality of features; and dividing the plurality of objects into a plurality of groups, where each group is based on the degree of association.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to selecting an object displayed on a display device of a computer. Aspects include moving a movable pointer in the display device in response to a user input, determining whether the pointer is in a predetermined temporary selection state, and based on a determination that the pointer is in the temporary selection state, acquiring an object pointed to by the pointer and storing the object in the storage device as a temporarily selected object. Aspects further include acquiring an second object pointed by the pointer in response to the user performing a predetermined object selection operation, comparing the second object with the temporarily selected object, and based on a determination that the second object is identical to the temporarily selected object, determining that the second object is selected.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to text editing. An aspect includes receiving a range specifying operation for performing range specification for at least part of the text displayed on a display device. Another aspect includes causing a storing unit to store therein specific text including text in the range specified by the received range specifying operation and other text relating to the specified range. Another aspect includes displaying, at a time of performing text pasting processing, the specific text stored in the storing unit together with the text in the specified range on the display device. Another aspect includes performing, based on a changing operation for changing the text in the specified range being received, paste processing by changing the text to be pasted in accordance with the changing operation.

Abstract: A theme to be applied to a document to be edited can be identified. The document and a preview of one or more components insertable into the document can be displayed. The preview can be formed and presented prior to the insertion of at least one of the components by applying the identified theme to the components.

Abstract: A translation system limits the reduction in translation accuracy accompanying an increase in new words and phrases. The system is configured to extract a noun phrase from a document and select a category for the noun phrase. The system is further configured to generate a translation for the phrase and to register the phrase, together with its translation, on a categorized dictionary corresponding to the selected category.

Abstract: The present invention increases translation accuracy by translating a document in a translation mode, depending on a display format for the document. A translation system for translating a document comprises a specified portion extraction unit for extracting specified portions of the document which are specified to be displayed in predetermined display formats and a translation processing unit for translating contents of the specified portions in a noun phrase translation mode in which the contents are translated as noun phrases more preferentially in comparison with the other portions of the document.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a translation system capable of preventing translation accuracy from being decreased by an increase of new phrases or the like.

Abstract: A dictionary updating system is provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises a terminal having a first dictionary for converting input conversion source information to conversion destination information and an updating processing server for updating the first dictionary of the terminal via a network. The terminal comprises a first dictionary storage unit for storing the first dictionary, a conversion processing information storage unit for storing conversion processing information obtained during processing of converting the conversion source information to the conversion destination information using the first dictionary, and a conversion processing information transmitting unit for transmitting the conversion processing information to the updating processing server.
