  • Publication number: 20180167291
    Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for visualizing analysis results of contents. Contents collected from various kinds of communication tools are read into memory. The contents are analyzed to obtain analysis results, where the analysis results include information on user groups, information on topics and degrees of involvement of users with the topic. Furthermore, user objects assigned according to the degree of involvement are dynamically displayed for a designated period of time and for each topic using the analysis results, where the displaying of each of the user objects is modified according to the degree of involvement and the information on a user group. A communication volume object which represents a communication volume between users may be further displayed between the user objects associated with these users and displayed so as to be different depending on the communication volume.

  • Publication number: 20180063112
    Abstract: The accessibility of a hyperlinked files is displayed. A hyperlink that references a resource is extracted from a target file. An attempt to acquire the resource is made by performing a first authentication operation. A first object is received in response to performing the authentication operation. A second object is acquired by performing a second authentication operation using pre-determined authentication information. The first object and the second object are compared to determine if the first object is the same as the second object. Information indicating the accessibility of the resource is presented via a display apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9767186
    Abstract: An apparatus retrieves and outputs a specific sentence from a document. An acceptance hardware component acquires a retrieval key. An importance calculation hardware component calculates the level of importance of each sentence included in a search target document. A document processing hardware component extracts a sentence including the retrieval key from the search target. A retrieval result processing hardware component corrects a value of importance of each sentence calculated by the importance calculation hardware component for the sentence based on the position of the sentence in the search target document to calculate a corrected level of importance. A display control hardware component outputs the sentence extracted by the document processing hardware component according to the display order based on the corrected level of importance.

  • Patent number: 9600161
    Abstract: A method displays a copy of a specified display area on a computer display. A first signal is received from a user. The first signal specifies a display area on a display as a specified display area. The specified display area presents a dynamic activity being performed on a computer. A second signal is received from the user to identify a particular object in the specified display area. A copy of the specified display area, which includes only the particular object, is generated. The copy of the specified display area has a same shape as the specified display area, presents the dynamic activity being performed on the computer, and is displayed on the display.

  • Patent number: 9524354
    Abstract: A system to enable restoration of a tree structure based on serialized data, and extraction of partial data that includes information of the tree structure from original data. A searching part identifies sequence elements of serialized data using a searching process. An essential element string identifying part identifies a sequence element string (essential element string) that includes the searched sequence elements. A rear section identifying part identifies a sequence element string that includes sequence elements located after the essential element string and is required to form a subtree that includes nodes corresponding to all the sequence elements of the essential element string. A front section identifying part identifies a sequence element string that includes sequence elements located before the essential element string and is required to form a subtree that includes nodes corresponding to all the sequence elements of the essential element string.
