Abstract: An individual identification information generation device 100 of the present invention includes an extraction unit 121 and a generation unit 122. The extraction unit 121 extracts, on the basis of product information in which manufacturing state information representing a manufacturing state of a product and individual identification information using a surface pattern of the product acquired from a captured image of the product are associated with each other, a relationship between the manufacturing state information and the individual identification information. The generation unit 122 generates, on the basis of the relationship between the manufacturing state information and the individual identification information and of the manufacturing state information of a given product, the individual identification information of the given product.

Abstract: A syntax analysis information generation apparatus includes an information generation unit. The information generation unit extracts grammatical information corresponding to a word candidate for an analysis target from first syntax analysis information (for example, syntax analysis information for translation) that represents grammatical constraint conditions, and generates second syntax analysis information (for example, syntax analysis information for character recognition) that represents the grammatical constraint conditions corresponding to the word candidate based on the extracted grammatical information.

Abstract: [Problem] To improve a speed of character recognition while achieving high grade precision of a character recognition process and a translation process. [Solution Method] A syntax analysis information generation apparatus includes an information generation unit 1. the information generation unit 1 extracts grammatical information corresponding to a work candidate for an analysis target from first syntax analysis information (for example, syntax analysis information for translation) that represents grammatical constraint conditions, and generates second syntax analysis information (for example, syntax analysis information for character recognition) that represents the grammatical constraint conditions corresponding to the word candidate based on the extracted grammatical information.

Abstract: A document similarity calculation device, configured to calculate a similarity indicating a degree of how much a plurality of documents are similar, includes: an associative word group storage portion for storing an associative word group composed of words associated with one another, a word-in-document frequency matrix generation portion for generating a matrix of word frequency in document which is a matrix each element of which is the frequency of a word present in a document with respect to each combination of the word and the document, a word-in-document frequency matrix transformation portion for transforming the generated matrix of word frequency in document based on the stored associative word group so as to reduce the number of dimensions of the matrix of word frequency in document, and a similarity calculation portion for calculating the similarity based on the transformed matrix of word frequency in document.

Abstract: There is provided a contents conversion fee charging system including: a contents provider terminal to be operated by a contents provider; a contents server to store contents provided by said contents provider; a user terminal to be operated by a user; a conversion server to convert the contents; and wherein the contents provider is charged a conversion fee for contents conversion performed by the conversion server.

Abstract: A translation server system is to be provided, which enables, where information is to be sent from a recipient, the recipient and the provider to transmit and receive the information in their respective native languages, troublesome work on the part of the recipient to be minimized, and the communication cost to be saved by restraining unnecessary communication. In a translation server system for translating a hyperlink document prepared in the source language and supplying the result of translation to a terminal apparatus 20 having accessed the hyperlink document, a translation unit 14, when input target language translating instruction information F2 is supplied from the terminal apparatus 20, translates the input target language into the input source language.

Abstract: A translation server system is to be provided, which, even when a new hyperlink document is to be looked at, can minimize the troublesome work on the part of the user and reduce the communication cost by restraining unnecessary communication. A data acquisition unit 11 acquires a hyperlink document on the basis of translating instruction locational information F1 transmitted from a terminal apparatus 20, and an information separating unit 12 separates the hyperlink document acquired by the data acquisition unit 11 into a text T1 and non-text information T2.
