Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an object displaying unit, an object identifying unit, and an object moving unit. The object displaying unit displays at least one object in a display area of an operation display. The operation display includes the display area where an image is displayed and outputs information about a position pointed by an operator in the display area. The object identifying unit identifies an object pointed by the operator in accordance with the output information. When the position pointed by the operator is moved on the display area in a state in which the object is identified, the object moving unit moves the identified object on the display area by a distance corresponding to a moving distance of the position pointed by the operator and a coefficient that is associated with the object and that is set in advance in at least one direction.

Abstract: A display control device includes: a request receiving unit that receives a request to display a first image, in which a stack order of images in a visual direction of a user is specified; an obtaining unit that obtains a display priority of an image group to which the first image belongs; a display layer identifying unit that identifies a display layer from among plural display layers divided from a near side to a far side in the visual direction, a position of the display layer becoming nearer in the visual direction as the obtained display priority increases; and a display control unit that causes a display unit to display a screen in which the first image and a second image belonging to an image group identical to the image group to which the first image belongs are arranged in the identified display layer in the specified stack order.

Abstract: A device and method for data protection of inputted and stored publicly encrypted data. Publicly encrypted data can be received by a data receiver module and stored in a storage module and be decrypted by a decryption module using a first encryption key. A deciding device can determine whether or not the data needs protection. If necessary, the data can be re-encrypted by an encryption module based on a second and different internal private encryption key generated from the encryption module and stored in the storage module.

Abstract: A translation device has an input unit that inputs image data from a document; a detecting unit that detects a security information image, which indicates that the inputted image is a confidential image, from the inputted image data; a translating unit that translates the security information image detected by the detecting unit; and an outputting unit that outputs the translated image of the security information image.

Abstract: A translation requesting device has a first replacing unit, a translating unit and a second replacing unit. The first replacing unit replaces an original phrase to a substitute phrase. The translating unit translates the substitute phrase. The second replacing unit replaces the original phrase to a translation phrase based on the translated substitute phrase. The substitute phrase is decided to maintain semantic properties of the original phrase.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus has a scan quality parameter extraction part, a scan quality evaluation part and a notification part. The scan quality parameter extraction part extracts scan quality parameters representing the quality of a scanned image from image data based on a scan error detection algorithm. The scan quality evaluation part determines whether a scan error occurs, based on the scan error detection algorithm and the scan quality parameters. Also, the notification part notifies a result determined by the scan quality evaluation part to a user.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus sequentially reduces a document, while changing the reduction factor step-by-step. Next, the image processing apparatus refers to the characters that constitute the document that has been reduced with the respective reduction factors, and specifies a reduction factor at which blank regions surrounded by line portions that express each character do not disappear. When an appropriate reduction factor is specified, the image processing apparatus specifies a resolution of the characters for that reduction factor, and converts the resolution of the document data to that specified resolution. Then, the image processing apparatus performs various processing for the document data whose resolution has been converted. Thus the resolution of document data is converted such that the document is reduced with a reduction factor suitable for computer processing.

Abstract: A document management apparatus and a document management system that selects the document which are best to digitize from among document being used in an office, and set the priority for digitization of each document are provided. The document management apparatus comprising: an accumulator apparatus that stores, the document ID, used place and used time for a document that is used; a computing part that analyzes information stored in accumulator apparatus, and for each document, computes the usability of the document data to be digitized; a specifying part that specifies document that correspond to document data for which the usability is relatively high by comparing it to the usability already computed for the data for each document; and output part that outputs the specified result to client.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, a language processing device has a text input section and an anaphora analysis section. The text input section acquires text data. The anaphora analysis section analyzes whether a correct anaphora relation is included in the text data acquired by the text input section. The correct anaphora relation has an anaphor and an antecedent corresponding to the anaphor.
