  • Patent number: 8907990
    Abstract: The multi-window system includes: a main storage unit storing display data including a display frame and a display element, a standard display frame size, and a standard text size; a display area size obtaining unit obtaining a display area size; a text size setting unit determining a text size for correcting the standard text size, based on the display area size with reference to the standard display frame size, and setting the text size to the display data as the actual text size of the text to be added to the display element; and a drawing unit generating, using the display data, the image data of the display frame and the display element added with the text having the text size, and displaying the image data in the display area by storing the image data in a display data storage unit different from the main storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8818930
    Abstract: A knowledge base system (1000) includes: a storage unit storing a knowledge base; and an operation unit (1070) performing a logic operation on the stored knowledge base. The knowledge base includes an entity identifier identifying an entity and one or more attributes of the entity associated with the entity identifier of the entity. Each attribute includes: an attribute identifier identifying the attribute; and at least one of feature data that is one or more pieces of data representing the attribute and is associated with the attribute identifier, and identification data that is data associated with a word representing the attribute and is associated with the attribute identifier. The entity identifier is not a word representing the entity, and is made of a symbol having no meaning per se. The attribute identifier is not the word representing the attribute, and is made of a symbol having no meaning per se.

  • Patent number: 8495070
    Abstract: A storage unit stores at least one attribute each assigned an attribute identifier uniquely identifying the attribute. Each attribute identifier is associated with at least one piece of equivalent reference data each representing the attribute. Each attribute identifier is not a word representing the attribute, and is made of a symbol having no meaning per se. A weight of association between an attribute identifier and each of at least one piece of equivalent reference data represents a degree of relatedness between the attribute and the piece of equivalent reference data. An operation unit determines whether or not given data is the same as a piece of equivalent reference data, obtains a weight of association between the piece of equivalent reference data determined to be the same and an attribute identifier, and selects the attribute when a sum of at least one weight obtained for the attribute satisfies a predetermined condition.

  • Publication number: 20120239688
    Abstract: A table lookup apparatus includes: receiving and processing units (220, 221) each for storing one of split tables having a first column and a second column; a transmission unit (210); and a control unit (230) which sends a search query including a column identifier specifying one of the first and second columns and a search value to the transmission unit (210), wherein the transmission unit transmits the search query received from the control unit to all the receiving and processing units, and each of the receiving and processing units outputs, as the output retrieval value, a value included in the column associated with the column specified by the column identifier, when the search value in the search query is included in the column specified by the column identifier.
