Patent number: 8452796Abstract: A search site on a network performs information search by a keyword. When a Web page is selected among those detected by the information search, the keyword, a text in the selected Web page and the Web page's address are interconnected and recorded as one search record in a recording device. And then, it is judged whether or not there exist in one or more then one document, any words that match any keywords included in the search records recorded in the recording device. If there exists a word that matches a keyword, the display data to display the document with just a part of the text as least and/or the Web page's address included in the same search record as the keyword, is created, and a job is executed using the display data.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Konica Minolta Business Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hidetaka Iwai, Kazuo Inui, Nobuhiro Mishima, Kaitaku Ozawa

Publication number: 20130057684Abstract: When an image of content reproduced by a first reproduction device is shot, a content display support device obtains the shot image and positional information that specifies the position and orientation of a shooting device. The content display support device generates combination content by visualizing and embedding the positional information in the shot image and transmits the combination content to a second reproduction device. A portable terminal obtains the positional information from an image obtained by shooting the combination content reproduced by the second reproduction device. The portable terminal requests supplementary information by transmitting the positional information to the content display support device. The supplementary information associated with the positional information is transmitted from the content display support device to the portable terminal and displayed at the portable terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2012Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: KONICA MINOLTA BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Hidetaka IWAI, Kazumi Sawayanagi, Toshihiko Otake, Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Masayuki Kawamoto
