  • Patent number: 11379224
    Abstract: A source code analysis unit identifies dependency strengths of one or more functions included in a source code. An influence analysis unit identifies one or more transfer functions that will each move to a different subsystem due to refactoring and identifies a dependency strength to be influenced by the refactoring, based on the dependency strengths that have been identified by the source code analysis unit with respect to the one or more transfer functions. A scale calculation unit calculates the scale of the refactoring, based on the dependency strength to be influenced, which has been identified by the influence analysis unit.

  • Publication number: 20220180104
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing device includes acquisition means, detection means, and specifying means. The acquisition means acquires image data according to a lost article to which a symbol of a user is attached and identification information according to a group to which the user belongs. The detection means performs analysis set for each item of identification information according to the group with respect to the image data according to the lost article and detects the identification information for identifying the user included in the symbol. The specifying means specifies the user from the identification information detected by the detection means.

  • Publication number: 20200151084
    Abstract: A description extraction unit analyzes a source code in which a plurality of execution paths exist, and extracts, on a per execution path basis, a description in the source code that does not affect an execution result even when it is deleted, as a deletable description. An effect calculation unit calculates, on a per execution path basis, a speed performance improvement effect which is an effect of improving the execution speed of the source code in the case of deleting the deletable description from the source code. A rewrite example generation unit generates a rewrite example of the source code which involves deletion of any deletable description from the source code, based on the speed performance improvement effect.

  • Publication number: 20190026107
    Abstract: A detailed analysis unit generates, with respect to pre-change source code and post-change source code, a detailed condition list for each set of a function included in each piece of source code and a call condition that is met when the function is called. The detailed condition list associates an executable statement included in the function, a detailed precondition that is met before the executable statement is executed under the call condition, and a detailed postcondition that is met after the executable statement is executed under the call condition with each other. A comparison unit generates a variation list based on a pre-change detailed condition list and a post-change detailed condition list. The variation list includes information for identifying an executable statement that differs in at least one of the detailed precondition and the detailed postcondition between the pre-change source code and the post-change source code.

  • Publication number: 20160378445
    Abstract: An objective is to extract, as similar functions, not only a pair of functions having the same syntax, but also a pair of functions having different syntaxes but performing similar processes. A similarity determination apparatus includes: a dependency analyzing section to get a list of dependee elements as a dependency list, from a source code including a plurality of functions, each function depending on one of the dependee elements; a similarity calculating section to calculate, based on the dependency list, similarity between the dependee elements on which two of the plurality of functions depend, as dependee similarity, and calculate, based on the calculated dependee similarity. similarity between the two functions, as depender similarity; and a similarity threshold determining section to determine that the two functions are similar to each other when the depender similarity is equal or exceeds a first threshold.

  • Patent number: 8341388
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a display unit, a touch panel, a BIOS storage unit, and a setup program execution unit. The display unit displays various kinds of information. The touch panel is installed on a display screen of the display unit and used for input corresponding to a contact operation. The BIOS storage unit stores a BIOS (basic input/output system) to execute startup of an operating system. The setup program execution unit executes a setup program for the BIOS in response to that an input from the touch panel is detected during the execution of the startup based on the BIOS.
