  • Patent number: 9514127
    Abstract: A computer implemented method, a program, and a system for effectively providing versatile non-text information suitable for use in a multi-language environment. The method includes the steps of: receiving search results of a database using a search criterion in a certain language and a search criterion in another language corresponding to the search criterion in which specific language attributes are associated with non-text elements that are included in the search results; scoring the non-text elements included in the search results depending on a similarity to another element with which a different language attribute is associated; and identifying at least one of the non-text elements included in the search results on the basis of the scores.

  • Patent number: 9483385
    Abstract: To provide a technique for generating, at a high speed, a smaller-sized set that satisfies an intended property such as, for example, being pair-wise, and includes many test cases that match a set of existing test cases given as an input, candidates to be used from a set of existing input test cases are determined in the following manner: for some parameters, values to be held by test case candidates are determined; test cases having the determined values, among those included in the set of input test cases, are selected as the candidates. A test case having the highest score among one or more test case candidates generated with the method of the related art and one or more test case candidates selected from the set of input test cases is added to a set of output test cases.
