  • Patent number: 10264002
    Abstract: The present invention provides a program, an information processing apparatus, and an information processing method which can effectively prevent malware attacks. A predetermined process is judged as a ransomware, when a first condition that a file read function for reading a file included in a same file path as a file path written by a file write function called from the predetermined process has been already called from the predetermined process; and a second condition that the file write function rewrites a header of a file of the file path: are satisfied. A predetermined process is judged as a ransomware, when a first condition that an actual file on a disk is mapped as a virtual file on a memory by the predetermined process; a second condition that the virtual file is unmapped by the predetermined process; and a third condition that a file structure of the actual file or the virtual file when unmapping is rewritten to inappropriate status: are satisfied.

  • Patent number: 9921564
    Abstract: A PLC compares previously acquired device data with currently acquired device data when collecting device data on a control target device over three or more times within one polling time, and stores changed device data as changed data when they are different from each other. When transmitting the changed data to a PC in each polling, the PLC compares the changed data with collected device data. When the total amount of changed data is equal to or larger than the total amount of collected device data, the PLC restores collected device data by using the changed data and transmits the restored device data to the PC, and, when the total amount of changed data is smaller than the total amount of collected device data, the PLC transmits the changed data to the PC.

  • Patent number: 9671740
    Abstract: A print control apparatus includes a generating unit that generates clear-toner plane data based on gloss-control plane data, which contains a gloss control value for specifying a type of a surface effect being a visual or a tactile effect applied to the recording medium and for specifying a region to which the surface effect is applied in the recording medium, and clear plane data, which contains a density value for specifying a transparent image other than the surface effect; and an outputting unit that outputs the clear-toner plane data. When a region where the gloss control value is specified in the gloss-control plane data and a region where the density value is specified in the clear plane data overlap each other, the generating unit sets a value of the clear-toner plane data to the gloss control value or the density value, based on a predetermined condition.
