  • Patent number: 10372827
    Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product translates a phrase in a first language to an equivalent phrase in a second language. Electronic data includes image data, which describes one or more graphical user interface (GUI) elements on a GUI. The GUI includes a delineated area that is used by a GUI element. The GUI element is matched to one of a plurality of predefined GUI elements, where each of the plurality of predefined GUI elements is predefined by a set of data that comprises a conditional expression, which describes a structure of a particular GUI element, as well as a type of text data that is associated with that particular GUI element. Text data from the delineated area in the GUI is then translated from the first language into the second language according to the type of text data that is associated with a particular type of GUI element.

  • Patent number: 8874509
    Abstract: A technique for appropriately managing a database in an apparatus with a limited storage capacity is described. A client apparatus includes a first storage unit storing part of a record set included in a database of a database server apparatus, and a second storage unit storing a copy of the record set stored in the first storage unit. The client apparatus usually searches the second storage unit. If data is not found, the client apparatus transmits a search request to the database server apparatus and stores a search result in the second storage unit. When the client apparatus receives update data from the database server apparatus, the client apparatus performs processing of updating the first storage unit.
