Patent number: 7249057Abstract: There is provided a product information supply method for supplying a user who desires to purchase a product with proper information about a related product that could be bought in combination with the product, so that the user is assisted in purchasing products. Registration of combination information to be supplied to the user is made with a database managed by a service provider server by a person who has bought the above product by means of a registration page so that a lot of combination information is accumulated in the database. The registered information includes not only information specifying a combinable product but also information about the effects of the combination and the ways of using products in combination. The database is searched in response to inquiry information from the user who makes reference to a page of products. Thus, corresponding combination information is extracted from the database and is sent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2001Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Hatakama, Hiroji Koike

Patent number: 7107238Abstract: In a method for providing information on commodities to a user by using a computer, commodity-comparison information indicating at least one result of at least one comparison between the commodities is acquired and stored. Next, a commodity-comparison map which visually indicates at least one relationship between the commodities is produced by using the commodity-comparison information stored above, in such a manner that at least one coordinate axis of the commodity-comparison map corresponds to at least one evaluation criterion used in evaluation of the commodities, respectively. Then, relative-evaluation information which indicates at least one relative evaluation of the commodities is produced by using the commodity-comparison map. Finally, the relative-evaluation information is provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2001Date of Patent: September 12, 2006Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Hatakama, Kazuo Misue, Isamu Watanabe, Hiromi Kato, Junichi Wako

Publication number: 20030187834Abstract: A document search method for extracting document information similar in content to given document information, from a document database with high accuracy and efficiency. A first document database is searched based on a search query which is input by a user. First document information extracted by the search of the first document database is formatted into a format of a second document database. The second document database is searched by using the formatted first document information. Second document information which is similar in content to the formatted first document information is extracted. A degree of similarity between the formatted first document information and the second document information is calculated. The calculated degree of similarity is corrected in accordance with a condition of correction which is preset. The first and second document information and the corrected degree of similarity are output.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2002Publication date: October 2, 2003Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Toshihiko Oda, Hitoshi Hasegawa, Kazuyuki Iida, Hiroshi Hatakama

Publication number: 20020198733Abstract: A computer network system that executes a virtual outlet establishment mediation method is composed of a plurality of user terminals, a plurality of servicer terminals, and a single virtual outlet establishment mediation server that are capable of communicating via the Internet with one another. The virtual outlet establishment mediation server extracts one or more servicers whose desiring conditions (business group, region) match the attributes (business group, region) of a user. From the servicer or servicers extracted here, the virtual outlet establishment mediation server extracts servicers with attributes (product lineup, payment methods, delivery time, discount rate, point rate) that satisfy the conditions (product lineup, payment methods, delivery time, discount rate, point rate) desired by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2002Publication date: December 26, 2002Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hirofumi Sawa, Takeshi Ito, Yumi Asano, Akira Tashiro, Hitoshi Monma, Hiroaki Nishimura, Hiroyuki Sato, Hiroshi Hatakama, Miwako Isa

Publication number: 20020147661Abstract: A method of delivering sample pictures containing information about how to purchase the original picture data. A computer system stores picture data received from mobile stations over a network. It then creates sample pictures from the stored picture data. Each sample picture contains ordering information that shows where to purchase the original version of the picture data. When a request is received from a terminal station on the network, the computer transmits such sample pictures to the requesting station.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2001Publication date: October 10, 2002Applicant: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Hiroshi Hatakama, Tetsuya Tsukahara, Takahisa Hatakeyama, Hiroyuki Yahagi, Kenji Ishii, Takashi Ueki, Satoshi Muramatsu
