  • Information display system having graphical user interface switchingly controlling information display on display screen
    Patent number: 7287232
    Abstract: Disclosed is an information display system capable of efficiently browsing items of information related by links. When displaying the information obtained by accessing a network, a plurality of display areas are formed, and plural items of information are displayed in these display areas. In this case, a display history of the information displayed may be stored, and the items of information displayed at the present or in the past may be displayed in a predetermined order in the respective display areas. When a first item of information displayed in a first display area is related to a second item of information, and when given an indication of displaying a second item of information, the second item of information may be displayed in a second display area while keeping the display of the first item of information in the first display area.

  • Information adding apparatus, information extracting apparatus, information adding method, information extracting method, and computer readable recording medium
    Patent number: 6873726
    Abstract: An information adding apparatus forms an extended color table constituted by a non-extended portion and an extended portion in the case that an array of bits used as information is embedded in the unit of one bit into respective pixels of image data of an image file. Thereafter, the image adding apparatus produces image data to which an index value of the non-extended portion is set when a bit value embedded into a pixel is equal to “0”, and also to which an index value of the extended portion is set when a bit value is equal to “1.” This index value of the extended portion indicates the same RGB value as that indicated by the previously set index value.
