Abstract: A template element, among template elements constituting a template, which corresponds to a document element constituting an original document is set as a corresponding template element and a content of format conversion processing for the document element is determined on the basis of the corresponding template element. Format conversion processing based on the determined content is performed. A result of format conversion processing is output as a result of conversion of the format of the original document.

Abstract: A table is generated in which content information for digital contents and the relation between the digital contents are registered. A request message indicating a content identifier and data range of a requested digital content is received. A determination is made regarding the presence of a digital content corresponding to the requested digital content based on the table and the content identifier indicated by the request message, and a determination is made regarding a data range based on the table and the data range indicated by the request message. Based on the results of the determinations, the content identifier and data range of the digital content corresponding to the data range indicated by the request message are decided by referring to the table. A message to the request message is transmitted based on the determinations and the decision.

Abstract: A request message containing a first description defining a portion to be extracted from multimedia data and a second description defining a scheme for extracting the portion is received from a data reception apparatus. The portion defined by the first description is extracted as partial data from the multimedia data. A coefficient corresponding to the scheme defined by the second description is acquired. Whether a value corresponding to the acquired coefficient is larger than a threshold is determined. If the value is larger than the threshold, the partial data is compressed, and compressed data obtained by the compression is transmitted to the data reception apparatus. If the value is equal to or smaller than the threshold, the partial data is transmitted to the data reception apparatus.

Abstract: A digital document is generated based on document content information obtained by reading a paper document, and instruction content information for document generation. Explanatory information of the paper document is generated based on the instruction content information. Feed data as data used to notify an external apparatus of generation of the digital document is generated with reference to the explanatory information. The feed data is transmitted to the external apparatus in response to a request from the external apparatus.

Abstract: A monitoring apparatus includes a display control unit configured to cause a display device to display an image captured by a camera and a registration screen which corresponds to the image, which allows a user to register an object status within the image and a registration unit configured to register the object status within the image input through the registration screen.

Abstract: A document format of an electronic document be generated is designated when a document is read to generate an electronic document of the document, and a division unit for dividing the document in the designated document format is acquired. The document is read based on the acquired division unit, and an electronic document in the designated document format is generated from data of the division unit. The generated electronic document is transmitted to a destination designated in advance.

Abstract: A data compression apparatus for compressing structured data is provided. The data compression apparatus includes an input unit configured to input a plurality of structured data items to be compressed and a plurality of schema files each corresponding to one of the structured data items, an index data generating unit configured to derive a common vocabulary set from a combination of at least two of the schema files among the input schema files and generate index data for associating an index with each of vocabulary items included in the common vocabulary set, and a replacement unit configured to replace the vocabulary included in the structured data item with a corresponding index on the basis of the index data for each of the structured data items corresponding to the schema files included in the combination of schema files.

Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus for providing encoding technology that enables data size reductions and analysis processing speed improvements even for data including elements having complex attribute values. The apparatus includes a file input unit that inputs a file including elements having a data stream of a predetermined format as an attribute value, a hierarchy information setting unit that sets hierarchy information indicating hierarchical positions for each of one or more delimiters included in the data stream, a structure information generating unit that generates structure information that defines mutual relations between hierarchy information, a designating unit that designates a region of a data stream of a predetermined format from the input file, and an encoding unit that detects delimiters from the designated region and, based on detected delimiters and structure information, encodes a data stream of the designated region based on a preset structured description language.

Abstract: This invention is directed at providing a technique for implementing higher-speed search processing for a binary structured document. A search query conversion means converts a search query for a structured document by converting each node building the search query into a corresponding index by using a vocabulary list. A document analysis means specifies an index corresponding to each node building the structured document by using the vocabulary list. A search query evaluation means searches for part of the structured document that corresponds to the converted search query, by using each index described in the converted search query and the index corresponding to each node that is specified by the document analysis means.

Abstract: When a structured document includes a compressed structure channel, a structured document analysis apparatus decompresses the structure channel. The structured document analysis apparatus generates an event list including structure information (events) of the structured document, and reference information (block numbers, channel numbers, value numbers) that refers to values. The structured document analysis apparatus notifies an application program of contents of the event list. Subsequently, when the user application requests a value, if the value is compressed, the structured document analysis apparatus decompress the value and notifies the application program of the value.
