Publication number: 20090292645Abstract: A centralized financial market management system and method are disclosed that permit individual investors to trade over a network. The disclosed centralized financial market management system automatically identifies bids that are in proximity to one another and permits participants to negotiate directly in order to consummate a transaction. The disclosed centralized financial market management system permits each participant in the financial security trading market to have a unique definition of its market structure. A participant can establish various market segments, each corresponding to a group of other market participants, within the push market where bids are posted. Thus, the submitter of a bid (buy or sell) can narrowly focus the bid on select market participants. A large transaction (buy or sell) can be divided by the bid submitter into smaller units and divided over a number of market segments.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2009Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki

Publication number: 20060136441Abstract: A disclosed project management system allows one or more team members to share documents in asynchronous and synchronous collaboration modes. A synchronous collaboration system is provided as an incremental addition that extends a conventional asynchronous collaboration system. One or more users can transition between asynchronous and synchronous collaboration modes. A plurality of users can interact in a synchronous collaboration mode to create and modify documents and perform other project tasks without requiring a token. A serializer initially receives each of the change requests and serializes them. The serialized requests are then sent to a broadcaster that broadcasts the requests to all users. Each user implements the broadcast change requests to the document as they are received so that shared documents are presented to each user in the same way at any given time.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2003Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventor: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki

Patent number: 6829603Abstract: This patent describes a novel system, method, and program product that are used in interactive natural language dialog. One or more presentation managers operating on a computer system present information from the computer system to one or more users over network interface(s) and accept queries from the users using one or more known input/output modalities (e.g. Speech, typed in text, pointing devices, etc.). A natural language parser parses one or more natural language phrases received over one or more of the network interfaces by one or more of the presentation managers into one or more logical forms (parsed user input), each logical form having a grammatical and structural organization. A dialog manager module maintains and directs interactive sessions between each of the users and the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2000Date of Patent: December 7, 2004Assignee: International Business Machines Corp.Inventors: Joyce Yue Chai, Sunil Subramanyam Govindappa, Nandakishore Kambhatla, Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, Catherine G.

Patent number: 6466574Abstract: Improved reliability and reduced delays and packet losses of Internet media transmissions over packet switching networks such as Internet and Intranet is achieved by replicating a sent message/information packet(s) from one or more source computers connected to the network into two or more replicas of one or more of the packets of the sent message. Each of the replicas is then directed through a different route through the network to one or more destination computers. In one embodiment, each of the routes is determined so that the routes have the least number of routers and access points in common. Since the replicas are redundant, losses and delays of some of the replicas is not fatal to assemble the packet sequence at the destination(s). Thus, the destination computer can assemble the sent message/information packet from received replicas in a more complete and faster manner. Redundant replicas that are received can be ignored and/or discarded at the destination computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1998Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, Yoav Medan

Patent number: 6240444Abstract: The web sharing manager of a receiving sharing client receives duplicated events (e.g. browser requests) and messages from the web sharing manager of a source sharing client that causes the browser of the receiving sharing client to execute the duplicate event/message so that the browsers of the source and receiving sharing client computer system(s) process the same events/messages. Because events/messages, that include control and information locations (addresses), are shared between the source and receiving and sharing client(s), the same web page is simultaneously displayed and controlled, i.e. shared, on all of the sharing client(s).Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 1996Date of Patent: May 29, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tong-Haing Fin, Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, Makoto Kobayashi, Masahide Shinozaki

Patent number: 5963666Abstract: A system and method for performing an incremental search using a character string returned by a recognizer on a confusion matrix encoded dictionary to predict a word in a handwriting input field of an application program. In the system and method, handwritten characters are input into a data entry field of an application program. The handwritten characters are recognized and assigned a cluster code. The string of characters is characterized by the cluster codes of the individual characters. The cluster codes of the string are compared with strings of cluster codes representing words in a dictionary. All or some of the matching words are displayed to the user, from which a selection can be made.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 1995Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, Savitha Srinivasan

Patent number: 5835633Abstract: A multi-stage multi-network character recognition system decomposes the estimation of a posteriori probabilities into coarse-to-fine stages. Classification is then based on the estimated a posteriori probabilities. This classification process is especially suitable for the tasks that involve a large number of categories. The multi-network system is implemented in two stages: a soft pre-classifier and a bank of multiple specialized networks. The pre-classifier performs coarse evaluation of the input character, developing different probabilities that the input character falls into different predefined character groups. The bank of specialized networks, each corresponding to a single group of characters, performs fine evaluation of the input character, where each develops different probabilities that the input character represents each character in that specialized network's respective predefined character group.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1995Date of Patent: November 10, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, Jianchang Mao, Kottappuram Mohamedali Mohiuddin

Patent number: 5787197Abstract: A dictionary based post-processing technique for an on-line handwriting recognition system is described. An input word has all punctuation removed, and the word is checked against a word processing dictionary. If any word matches against the dictionary, it is verified as a valid word. If it does not verify, a stroke match function and a spell-aid dictionary are used to construct a list of possible words. In some cases, the list is appended with possible words based on changing the first character of the originally recognized word. A character-match score, a substitution score and a word length are assigned to the items on the list. A word hypothesis is constructed from the list with each such word being assigned a score. The word with the best score is chosen as the output word for the processor.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1994Date of Patent: July 28, 1998Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Homayoon Sadr Mohammad Beigi, Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, William David Modlin, Kenneth Steven Wenstrup

Patent number: 5392363Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for recognizing handwritten words in response to an input signal from a handwriting transducer. The method includes the steps of: (a) partitioning the input signal into N frames; and (b) processing words from a vocabulary model to determine, for each processed word, a probability that the word represents a written word that is conveyed by the input signal. The determined probability is a function of N letter-frame alignment probabilities and also a probability based on a grouping of the N frames into L groups, where L is a number of letters in the word. A further step (c) identifies a word having a highest determined probability as being a most-likely word that is conveyed by the input signal. The determined probability is also a function of (a) a probability based on a frequency of occurrence of words and portions of words within a selected language model; and (b) when processing a frame other than the Nth frame, a number of frames that remain to be processed.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1992Date of Patent: February 21, 1995Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki, Krishna S. Nathan

Patent number: 5029223Abstract: Method and apparatus for identifying a valid symbol or a string of valid symbols from a sequence of handwritten strokes. A method includes the steps of (a) generating in response to one or more handritten strokes a plurality of stroke labels each having an associated score; (b) processing the plurality of stroke labels in accordance with a beam search-like technique to identify those stroke labels indicative of a valid symbol or portion of a valid symbol; and (c) associating together identified stroke labels to determine an identity of a valid symbol or a string of valid symbols therefrom. An aspect of the invention is that each of the constraint validation filters is switchably coupled into a serial filter chain. The switches function to either couple a filter input to a stroke label or decouple the input and provide a path around the filter block. An application writer has available a plurality of constraint filters.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1990Date of Patent: July 2, 1991Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventor: Tetsunosuke Fujisaki
