  • Publication number: 20200394212
    Abstract: A document can be summarized at high speed using submodular maximization. A search unit 36 accepts a set including each element of the submodular maximization, a submodular function defining an amount of information with regard to a subset of the set, a dependency structure tree representing a dependency structure of the document, a set of paths containing the root of the dependency structure tree, a length of each of the elements, and an upper limit of length of the subset, and repeats selecting paths using a greedy algorithm so as to maximize the submodular function and obtain a subset where the amount of information is largest from a subset that is included in a rooted subtree of the dependency structure tree and that also satisfies a constraint of the summation of lengths of elements of the subset being no larger than the upper limit, and outputs the subset as a summary of the document.

  • Patent number: 7173634
    Abstract: An information displaying system, in which digital information data such as news and a commercial message are displayed with screen data on a display without decreasing the amount of the screen data that are displayed in a working region of the display, is provided. A screen mixing unit mixes digital information data such as news and a commercial message at digital information data adding regions at outside a working region where screen data from a personal computer are displayed on a display with the screen data, without decreasing the screen data in the working region. And the mixed data are converted to data having a frequency being capable of displaying on the display. With this, the digital information data can be displayed with the screen data on the display without decreasing the amount of the screen data that are displayed on the working region on the display.

  • Patent number: 6753926
    Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus comprises a PLL circuit, a phase adjuster, a picture-data-sampling circuit, a liquid crystal display driver, a video signal processor, and a liquid crystal display panel. The phase adjuster comprises a delay circuit, a comparator, a counter, and a controller. The PLL generates a dot clock which is delayed by the delay circuit by a delay time designated by the controller to be a sampling clock. The counter counts the number of sampling edges of the sampling clock from a negative edge of a horizontal synchronization signal to a positive edge of a binarized video signal supplied from the comparator. The controller observes the number of sampling edges while adjusting the delay to determine the worst sampling clock and sets the best sampling clock whose phase is at a straight angle to the phase of the worst sampling clock.
