  • Patent number: 7770112
    Abstract: This invention provides a technique to correctly inform the human being of content of contents to be published but to prevent machines from collecting part of the contents whose distribution is not desired by the information provider. This invention includes: reading out contents data to be published, which includes text data, and identifying a character string whose output as the text data should be avoided from the contents data; converting the identified character string into substitution data other than the text data so as to maintain content of the identified character string; and generating publication contents data to maintain publication content of the contents data by using data other than the identified character string in the contents data and the substitution data. Thus, by carrying out such a processing, it becomes possible to conceal the character string against machines without changing the publication content for the human being.

  • Patent number: 6079863
    Abstract: A reservation control method, system and computer program for reserving times for use of a plurality of facilities. The invention provides for the storing of a time span of dates and times on which each of the facilities are to be used as a reservation schedule in a storage and controlling reservations of the facilities based on the stored reservation schedule. Further the invention provides for setting a time span of dates and times in which use of at least one of the facilities is forbidden as a reservation forbidden schedule in the storage and forbidding reservations for the facilities when the reservations overlap the reservation forbidden schedule. The reservation forbidden schedule can only be accessed and/or modified by a manager of the facility.
