  • Publication number: 20170330085
    Abstract: A healthcare information processing device is provided. The healthcare information processing device includes an acquisition circuit configured to acquire time series data; a conversion circuit configured to generate a reduced autoregressive model based on the acquired time series data; a creation circuit configured to create a network structure based on the reduced autoregressive model; and a prediction circuit configured to predict a future of an event using the reduced autoregressive model, the event being currently in progress.

  • Patent number: 9727817
    Abstract: The present technique relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, a recording medium, and a program capable of extracting the structure of time series data. An acquisition unit acquires time series data, a conversion unit converts the obtained time series data into an RAR model, and a prediction unit predicts the future of an event that is currently in progress using the RAR model. The present technique can be applied when predicting the future of a phenomenon that changes with time such as weather, earthquake, natural environment, human health, and economy from time series data.

  • Patent number: 7793009
    Abstract: A printer comprises a card reader and a data writing unit. The card reader reads out an image stored in a memory card. The data writing unit writes the image, which is read out by the card reader, in a flexible disk to store this image. The printer is adapted to be controlled under a simultaneous print mode for simultaneously performing both of printing and storing the image. When an instruction for printing is given to the printer under the simultaneous print mode, printing the image on a recording paper is carried out. At the same time, storing the image in the flexible disk is simultaneously carried out.

  • Patent number: 6747668
    Abstract: An image reducing device comprises a simple-averaging device that calculates a simple average of data of pixels of each simple-averaging area of original image data to acquire a pixel of middle image data, and a weighted-averaging device that multiplies data of pixels of the middle image data that are adjacent to a pixel of reduced image data by weight coefficients according to positions of the pixel of the reduced image data and the pixels of the middle image data to acquire the pixel of the reduce image data. In this method, the weighted-averaging is performed after the number of pixels are reduced by the simple-averaging, and this can obtain the reduced image of high quality without overloading the software and hardware. In addition, the edging can be easily performed at the same time as the weighted-averaging.

  • Patent number: 6407746
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a data dividing section for dividing digital data into a plurality of blocks of data. A first parallel shift control section controls, block by block, first parallel shift for shifting the blocks of digital data to positions coinciding with an angle of rotation of an image. A second parallel shift control section subdivides the digital data in each of the blocks into subblock data, and controls second shift for shifting the subblock data in each block to positions coinciding with the angle of rotation of the image such that a color image is correctly displayed. The apparatus is capable of rotating a color image correctly and rapidly with a simple circuit arrangement.
