Patent number: 10248435Abstract: A computer supports an operation by an operator of a target device. The computer stores a first topology indicating dependency relationship of a plurality of device types including a device type of the target device. The computer generates a second topology indicating dependency relationship of a plurality of devices including the target device, by performing, based on the first topology, a topology discovery for the plurality of devices. Each of the plurality of devices has any one of the plurality of device types. The computer provides an operation sequence of the plurality of devices to the operator. The operation sequence is generated based on the second topology.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2015Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Taku Aratsu, Toshiyuki Komoda, Yohei Umehara, Satoshi Yokoyama

Publication number: 20190050127Abstract: A contact state of a finger with respect to a first displayed object is detected. In response to detecting a double-click operation on the first displayed object at a first position in a depthwise direction, the first displayed object is moved onto a surface of a display screen of a three-dimensional (3-D) display. In response to detecting that the finger has moved from the contact state to a proximity state with respect to the first displayed object, a display position of the first displayed object is changed from the surface of the display screen to a depth position at which a second object is displayed at a nearest side in the depthwise direction among displayed objects. The second object remains displayed at the depth position beside the first object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2018Publication date: February 14, 2019Inventors: Hayato Uenohara, Satoshi Yokoyama

Publication number: 20190042069Abstract: An electronic document is obtained as a single unit of display data divided by a display size of a screen into a group of page data sets. A display configured to sense movement of a movable object in a vertical direction relative to the screen is used. The display is configured such that each of the group of page data sets of the electronic document is associated in a sequence with a respective different one of a group of detection levels within a movement detection range of the display. In response to sensing movement using the display, a page data set corresponding to a detection level in the movement detection range is displayed on the screen in accordance with the sensed movement. Display speed changes are automatically adjusted while displaying different ones of the group of page data sets in accordance with a moving speed of the sensed movement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Satoshi Muto, Satoshi Yokoyama

Patent number: 9886188Abstract: An embodiment of the disclosure displays a plurality of icons for files and a plurality of icons for folders within a graphical user interface. A set of two or more icons can be selected via user input for inclusion within a group object. The group object can be moved within the graphical user interface responsive to user input to within a predetermined range of one of the icons for one of the folders. Responsive to moving, a subset of files of the group object can be determined. Selection of the files within the subset can be based on whether attributes of the folder match attributes of the files. Additionally, responsive to moving the group object, the subset of files can be moved or copied to the one of the folders to which the group object was moved.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2011Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Akira Saito, Takeyuki Shimura, Shigeki Takeuchi, Hayato Uenohara, Satoshi Yokoyama

Patent number: 9747021Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to dividing and merging documents on a touch panel. A method includes dividing a document displayed on a touch panel having a display function using an information processing device connected to the touch panel. Positions of two different points on the touch panel are identified in response to a user indicating the two different points in the document. The document is divided, by a computer processor, based on a line segment extending from a starting point to an end point of a traced line traced by the user. The line segment is used as a dividing line in response to the user tracing the traced line on the touch panel so as to traverse the two different points.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Satoshi Muto, Satoshi Yokoyama

Patent number: 9630539Abstract: A tiltable vehicle seat has a seat frame, a pad formed in a mold associated with the seat frame and a bracket attaching a seatback to the seat frame. The pad is formed through foaming to expand and engulf the seat frame and is integrated with the seat frame. The bracket allows for the seat frame and the pad contained therein to be tilted relative to the seatback to provide multiple vehicle seat modes. The bracket is formed separately from the seat frame and attached to the seat frame thus allowing for the pad to be formed from a relatively compact mold.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignees: TOYOTA BOSHOKU KABUSHIKI KAISHA, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Satoshi Yokoyama, Keisuke Yamamoto, Tomohiro Muramatsu, Kazuyuki Shiga

Patent number: 9372558Abstract: Vibration portions are set in electronic data displayable on a display device. In response to a first portion in the one or more pieces of electronic data being specified on the display device, an embodiment sets the specified first portion as a first vibration portion. The first vibration portion triggers a first vibration in response to the first vibration portion being specified with a movable object. Moreover, in response to a second portion in the one or more pieces of electronic data being specified on the display device, an embodiment sets the specified second portion as a second vibration portion. The second vibration portion triggers the second vibration in response to the second vibration portion being specified with a movable object. The data storing settings for generating the first vibration and the second vibration include an order in which the first vibration and the second vibration are generated.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Satoshi Muto, Satoshi Yokoyama

Patent number: 9298359Abstract: A contact state of a finger with respect to an object displayed on a first layer is detected. An angle of inclination of a 2-D touch panel is detected and is configured as zero degrees along a display surface at a point where the contact state of the finger is detected. In response to a positive change of the angle of inclination from zero degrees and a dragging of the finger in a higher direction along the angle of inclination, the object is moved onto a second layer displayed nearer than the first layer. In response to a negative change of the angle of inclination changing from zero degrees and a dragging of the finger to a lower direction along the angle of inclination, the object is moved onto a third layer displayed deeper than the first layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Hayato Uenohara, Satoshi Yokoyama
