Abstract: Tags are displayed to provide an overall view of computing device activity of a log of records. A bar element is displayed, having sides corresponding to a beginning and an ending time of the log. The tags are displayed within the bar element. Each tag corresponds to a time between the beginning and ending times. The time intervals between the times of immediately successive tags are at least substantially equal. The tags are displayed within the bar element such that they denote relative locations of records that represent computing device activity having occurred at least substantially around the times of the tags. The log of records may be scrolled through within a window, at a speed inversely proportional to spacing between immediately successive tags. The same or different tags may further each graphically represent a time that the computing device activity to which a record corresponds occurred.

Abstract: The present invention effectively extracts useful information in a field in which a user is interested, using a search apparatus for searching expressions from a plurality of texts. The search apparatus records predetermined expressions in advance included in at least one text as expressions to be evaluated for which attention degrees are evaluated. Then, a plurality of keywords is input. The search apparatus determines, for each of the keywords, use frequencies of the expressions to be evaluated in a text including that keyword. Then, attention degrees of the expressions to be evaluated are evaluated based on the respective use frequencies determined for each of the keywords.

Abstract: The present invention can be used to improve speech recognition accuracy, especially with regard to characters, words and the like which can correspond to a plurality of readings. The same person can be apt to maintain the same reading in the same conversation. For example, a person who pronounced “7” “shichi” is apt to pronounce “shichi” consistently in the conversation. By utilizing this tendency, recognition from the second time is executed after reducing a recognition probability corresponding to the reading, which is not used by the person in the first response of the conversation. In the case where a system repeats a recognition result by speech synthesis, the system repeats the recognition result corresponding to the reading of a speaker that is already recognized. For example, when the speaker pronounced “7” “shichi”, the system pronounces “shichi” at the time of repetition.

Abstract: A leakage source can be identified when personal information is leaked to unauthorized entities. A search request section acquires a request to search a database together with information to identify the search requester. A search processing section searches the database and mixes dummy data into the search result. A search result section outputs the search result into which the dummy data is mixed to the search requester. A use history creates information indicating a relationship between information identifying the search requester and the dummy data mixed into the search result. Another section controls the search result acquiring section, the search processing section, the search result outputting section and the use history creating section.

Abstract: A tamper-resistant anti-theft system suitable for vehicles includes a radio signal receiver capable of receiving periodically broadcast keep-alive signals. The keep-alive signals, each coded for a particular protected vehicle, are provided by a monitoring agency with which the protected property is registered. The anti-theft system includes logic for validating a received signal. The system also includes a run signal generator for generating a limited-duration run signal that permits the protected property to be used normally for the duration. If the vehicle is reported stolen, the monitoring agency stops broadcasting keep-alive signals for the vehicle. Once the current run signal lapses, operations are initiated to prevent further normal use of the vehicle. Property other than vehicles can be protected by the system.

Abstract: An automatic voice response section transfers voice input from a caller to a voice recognition section, and the voice recognition section generates a voice recognition result. The voice recognition result is synthesized at the voice response section into a voice confirmation message and sent back to the caller for confirmation that the voice input was correctly recognized. When a response by the caller to the confirmation message is negative, the automatic voice response section plays the previously received voice input from the caller as audio to a screener interface. A screener listens to the audio and enters a screener recognition result at the screener interface. The screener recognition result is synthesized into a voice response message by the voice response unit and transmitted to the caller for confirmation. Only if the caller responds negatively to the message based upon the screener recognition result is the call switched to an operator for manual handling of the callers special problems.
