  • Patent number: 11188360
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a log acquirer, a first estimation model, a finder and a hint display controller. The log acquirer acquires a log at occurrence of a predetermined event. The log includes one or both of a user's input operation history and an application history. The first estimation model calculates, based on the input log, a first evaluation value for each of a plurality of hint items that are obtained by separating a plurality of hints into categories. Each of the plurality of hints is prepared as a usage hint for the user. The first evaluation value represents likelihood of each of the plurality of hint items is a hint item that includes a hint sought by the user. The finder finds, from among the plurality of hint items, one or more hint items, in each of which the first evaluation value is a first predetermined value or greater.

  • Publication number: 20030154409
    Abstract: The present invention provides a mobile communications terminal and a data transmitting method which can prevent the alteration of programs that are the object of virus protection study. In the mobile communications terminal 10 of the present invention, a digital signature is applied to the program 26 that is the object of virus protection study using (for example) a public key encryption program stored in an IC chip 12 such as a UIM or the like. Accordingly, in cases where this program is transmitted via a network 28 by the user, the alteration of the program 26 by a third party at an intermediate point in the network 26 can be prevented. Furthermore, the presence or absence of any alteration can be verified in the virus protection study object program receiving server 32 that receives this program 26.
