  • Patent number: 9037905
    Abstract: When reproducing the running state after a failure has occurred in stream data processing, all window operations are used while minimizing the storage amount necessary for obtaining backup data. While an operator is performing stream data processing in response to a query, a query analysis unit analyzes the operator, which holds the running state of the window, etc., and the recovery points of said operator. When obtaining backup data, a backup data management unit manages the capacity necessary to obtain snapshots of the analyzed recovery points, calculates the storage area capacity needed for backing up input data up to each recovery point and the storage area capacity needed to obtain a snapshot for a window that cannot be reproduced in that way, and records the execution state by selecting a recovery point which minimizes the total value of necessary storage capacity.

  • Patent number: 8966502
    Abstract: Collecting log data efficiently by controlling the capturing event for an operation log on the basis of application layer information. A web server generates a response including an operation log capturing script and the information from an operation log capturing control definition table and a property capturing definition table, and sends the response to a client. In the client, the received information is forwarded from a web browser module to a script engine module. An operation log capturing module sets the information acquisition event handler on the basis of the forwarded information, captures a sequential operation log on the basis of the operations performed by a user in the web browser, and sends the captured sequential operation log to a log server. A log server module collects sequential operation log in an operation log table, and a log analysis module analyzes the collected logs.

  • Patent number: 8290776
    Abstract: Voice of plural participants during a meeting is obtained and dialogue situations of the participants that change every second are displayed in real time, so that it is possible to provide a meeting visualization system for triggering more positive discussions. Voice data collected from plural voice collecting units associated with plural participants is processed by a voice processing server to extract speech information. The speech information is sequentially input to an aggregation server. A query process is performed for the speech information by a stream data processing unit of the aggregation server, so that activity data such as the accumulation value of speeches of the participants in the meeting is generated. A display processing unit visualizes and displays dialogue situations of the participants by using the sizes of circles and the thicknesses of lines on the basis of the activity data.
