  • Patent number: 10768928
    Abstract: A software development management system for use by multiple developers includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire, for each of a plurality of work items each representing a work to change at least one file, designation of a file associated with the work item. A dependency detection unit detects dependencies among a number of files. A determination unit determines, on the basis of the dependencies among the files, whether there is a dependency relationship between at least two work items based on the dependency relationship between the files detected by the dependency detection unit.

  • Patent number: 10168893
    Abstract: A computer detects user input within an input destination and determines whether the user input is continuous. If the user input is determined continuous, then the computer determines whether the input destination receiving the continuous user input has been changed during the receipt of the continuous user input. If the computer determines that the input destination has been changed during receipt of the continuous user input, the computer stores the portion of user input entered after the input destination had been changed in a temporary input buffer. The computer then presents the stored user input to a user and prompts a user selection of the appropriate input destination corresponding to the portion of stored user input.

  • Patent number: 9860287
    Abstract: In a shared change set server, a receiving section receives information on an undetermined change set and information on users sharing the undetermined change set from a terminal device used by a developer who has developed the change set. Subsequently, a shared change set management section prepares a shared change set containing the undetermined change set and information on users sharing the undetermined change set, and stores the shared change set in a shared change set storage section. A transmitting section thereafter transmits information on the shared change set to a terminal device used by a developer sharing the shared change set.

  • Patent number: 9569019
    Abstract: An aspect of the invention includes a display device that operates controls on a display surface independent of a size of the display surface. A touch panel displays a screen on a display surface and inputs a user operation point on the display surface. An extracting part extracts controls that receive a touch operation of a user from content to be displayed on the display surface. A display controller displays auxiliary buttons for providing instructions for input of an extracted control, together with the content on the display surface.

  • Patent number: 9250852
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus, a screen output system, a screen output control method, and a program control output are disclosed. The information processing apparatus includes an image acquiring unit, a differential region extracting unit, a designation accepting unit, and an image output unit. The image acquiring unit acquires a first image to be output to a first display. The differential region extracting unit extracts a differential region that differs between the first image and a second image to be output to a second display. The designation accepting unit accepts a designation of whether to output each differential region to the second display. The image output unit incorporates a portion of the first image that corresponds to a differential region for which a designation to output has been accepted into the second image and outputs the updated second image to the second display.

  • Patent number: 9122343
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for facilitating operation of controls displayed in a display surface independently of the size of the display surface. The system includes a touchscreen which displays a screen on the display surface and which inputs an operation point operated by a user on the display surface, and a conversion unit that defines a point which is in a predetermined positional relationship with an operation point operated by the user on the touchscreen as an operation point to be operated. In response to input of an operation on an edge of the display surface, the conversion unit may define as the operation point to be operated a point that is positioned in a center area of the display surface except its edges and that is in a predetermined positional relationship with the operation point at which the edge of the display surface was operated.
