Abstract: An information processing method includes displaying a water-based map on a display unit, accepting an operation by an administrator, storing a selected tile by the administrator in a storage unit as a particular tile from among a plurality of tiles resulting from division of an area on the water-based map into a mesh pattern, detecting a present location of a ship at a predetermined time interval, and notifying an alert when the ship enters a water area corresponding to the particular tile.

Abstract: For the purpose of enhancing accessibility of a user with respect to various applications, the disclosed technique provides a method for controlling a user-interface that provides an instruction to an application through a user-operation which is performed on a display provided on a device. The method includes a process performed by the device. The process includes: acquiring information displayed by the display; extracting at least one feature existing on the acquired information; receiving an action of a user; searching a database to identify a predetermined operation, which corresponds to the received action and the extracted at least one feature; and providing an instruction to the application through applying the identified predetermined operation, not the received action, to the user-interface.

Abstract: Provided is a method for modifying one surface of a textile fabric or a nonwoven fabric, which comprises coating a sizing agent inactive to plasma treatment on one surface of a hydrophobic or hydrophilic textile fabric or nonwoven fabric, subjecting another surface of the textile fabric or the nonwoven fabric to low-temperature plasma treatment to form an active seed for a graft polymerization reaction, then graft-polymerizing this active seed with a polymerizable monomer, and thereafter removing the sizing agent coated on one surface of the textile fabric or the nonwoven fabric. Clothing in which sweat given in sports or the like can easily be shifted from one surface to another thereof and can easily be evaporated and which has wash and wear properties is obtained.
