Patent number: 9202131Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus including an image analysis unit to analyze image data, and a protagonist identification unit to identify a protagonist of an event including at least one set of image data. The protagonist identification unit identifies the protagonist of the event by using at least a parameter independent of an analysis of an image provided to the event. If the protagonist of the event is not able to be identified by using the parameter independent of the analysis of the image, the information processing apparatus makes the image analysis unit analyze the image data included in the event to identify the protagonist of the event.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yorimitsu Naito, Susumu Nagano, Kazuhiro Nakagomi, Takayuki Ochi, Takamasa Sato

Publication number: 20150234860Abstract: A backup copy from a first data volume to a second data volume is executed according to either a synchronous mode, in which write data is copied from the first data volume to the second data volume in synchronous with a write request, or an asynchronous mode, in which journal data of a first storage apparatus is reflected on the second data volume in asynchronous with the write request. A second storage apparatus acquires secondary load information representing its own load status, and transmits the information to the first storage apparatus. The first storage apparatus acquires primary load information representing its own load status, determines switching between the modes based on the secondary load information, the primary load information and mode information, and transmits determination information representing determination results to the second storage apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2013Publication date: August 20, 2015Applicant: HITACHI, LTD.Inventors: Takashi Sakaguchi, Takamasa Sato, Kensuke Narita, Yosuke Katoh

Patent number: 9009432Abstract: In one of the storage control apparatuses in the remote copy system which performs asynchronous remote copy between the storage control apparatuses, virtual logical volumes complying with Thin Provisioning are adopted as journal volumes to which journals are written. The controller in the one of the storage control apparatuses assigns a smaller actual area based on the storage apparatus than in case of assignment to the entire area of the journal volume, and adds a journal to the assigned actual area. If a new journal cannot be added, the controller performs wraparound, that is, overwrites the oldest journal in the assigned actual area by the new journal.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takamasa Sato, Katsuhiro Okumoto
