Abstract: A multi-objective optimization apparatus provides a weight adjustment apparatus, method, and computer program product, to perform optimization while reflecting user's demands. The multi-objective optimization apparatus for adjusting weights of a plurality of evaluation items includes a correction accepting unit for accepting an operation for correcting an initial solution as one of solutions to the plurality of evaluation items, and a weight adjustment unit for adjusting weights of the plurality of evaluation items using the initial solution based on the corrected solution as a corrected initial solution.

Abstract: To provide a collaboration system and its chat system wherein a chat can be conducted by designating clearly and simply a position of an object to be noticed in a working image. [Constitution] A plurality of terminal devices 100 and a chat server 300 supporting a chat are provided. By managing a display position, on a display screen, of a chat window for performing a chat in the terminal devices 100 and the chat server 300, display positions of chat windows are synchronized between the terminal devices 100 that conduct a chat. The chat window is displayed correspondingly to a given element displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: The present invention provides a collaboration system that reduces communication traffic, is platform- and OS-independent, and has high versatility. There are provided a collaboration server connected with a plurality of terminal apparatuses through a network for obtaining, retaining, and distributing a Web page as a work screen used in collaborative work among the terminal apparatuses, and a chat server for managing chat sessions. The collaboration server participates as a chat client in a chat session managed by the chat server and distributes an operation instruction concerning the work screen as a chat message to each terminal apparatus. The work screen is reloaded into each terminal apparatus according to the operation instruction to allow the collaborative work to progress.

Abstract: To distribute Web contents, while ensuring security without increasing a burden imposed on users. The present invention comprises a distribution server for distributing a web content, which is composed of a plurality of digital media associated with each other and has key data for removing a digital watermark embedded in a predetermined digital medium appended to another digital medium as an invisible watermark, and a receiving terminal for receiving and rendering the Web content distributed from the distribution server. The receiving terminal includes a watermark removal control means for extracting key data from a digital medium of a Webcast content, a decorder, for removing a digital watermark embedded in another digital medium corresponding to the digital medium from which the key data is extracted, and a browser for rendering the digital medium from which the digital watermark has been removed.

Abstract: An information terminal connected to one of a plurality of servers which are allocated by a dispatcher is connected to another information terminal via its allocated server. When a Web Browser 111 is connected to a Web Server 143 via a Dispatcher 120, a content including a button for requesting the agent side for connection is displayed in the web screen. When the customer clicks this button, a customer ID and an IP address of the server 142 are stored in a table 155. After a CTI Server allocated an agent, an Agent proxy 173 obtains an IP address corresponding to the customer to be connected and accesses to the server 142.

Abstract: A system in which re-presentation of a search inquiry from an user to a call center can be omitted when a request for agent help is made. It is realized in an information search system that includes a user terminal 3 connected to a network such as the Internet 2, a call center Web server 7 for receiving a search condition sent from the user terminal 3 via the network, and an agent terminal 6 connected to the call center Web server 7. The call center Web server 7 search includes a search history preserving unit for preserving search histories, and an output unit for outputting a search history preserved in the search history preserving means to the agent terminal 6 when a connection request from the user terminal 3 to the agent terminal 6 is made.

Abstract: An information Control system makes it possible for a plurality of users to share attached-information by registering the attached-information, which is added to WWW contents, in a server by associating the attached-information with the WWW contents.
