  • Publication number: 20090172034
    Abstract: Systems, products and methods for enabling symptom verification. Verifying a symptom may include eliminating repeated symptom definitions or eliminating symptoms having low accuracy. A computer system enables verification of a symptom including a rule for detecting a set of events related to a given problem. The computer system includes a symptom database which stores the symptom, a specimen database which stores a specimen including a set of events detected according to a rule of a certain symptom, and an analysis unit which analyzes the specimen stored in the specimen database using a new symptom in order to determine whether to add the new symptom to the symptom database. The present disclosure also includes a method and a computer program for enabling verification of a symptom including a rule for detecting a set of events related to a given problem.

  • Publication number: 20090112860
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided to support autonomic computing for system configuration. Common base events (CBEs) are generated and, based upon system configuration, are employed to monitor system resources and to resolve system configuration conflicts prior to an error. A symptom database stores a set of rules for the configuration information. The configurations CBEs for the system configuration are compared with the symptom rules, and any discrepancies between the two elements are communicated to a user prior to an occurrence of an error in the system. Accordingly, an autonomic computer system is provided to support system configuration data.

  • Publication number: 20080310738
    Abstract: An output mechanism of a character recognition device includes a category classifier for classifying image data of characters to be recognized for each category recognized in character recognition processing, a clustering processor for determining feature values related to shapes of characters included in the image data in each category classified by the category classifier, and for classifying the image data into one or more clusters based on the feature values, and a screen creator for creating a confirmation screen for displaying the image data for each cluster classified by the clustering processor.

  • Publication number: 20080066058
    Abstract: An efficient testing method is provided for internationalized software executed in a plurality of language environments. The method includes mock-translating an externalized resource file written in a first language of the internationalized software by converting characters of the first language to characters of a second language based on a conversion table; and displaying output information from the internationalized software that performs processing by referring to the mock-translated test resource file using one of a plurality of fonts prepared for respective test categories.

  • Publication number: 20070217687
    Abstract: To provide a method for controlling the display of a screen which allows the user to discriminate the scanned image and the recognition result intuitively and easily. The display control method for allowing the user to verify the recognition result of a character on a verification screen form 300 is implemented as follows. First of all, the standard pattern of a specific character stored in a memory and a plurality of character images recognized as the specific character are read, upon an operation of the user. And the read standard pattern is displayed in a recognition result character display portion 310 within the verification screen form 300 and a plurality of the read character image are displayed sequentially in a character image display portion 320 adjacent or proximal to the recognition result character display portion 310 and at a predetermined position of a character image list display portion 330.

  • Publication number: 20070122064
    Abstract: To provide a system for reducing oversight of the result of false recognition and improving working efficiency, while realizing the reduction of load of operators, and to provide a method thereof. The system in the invention contains a display unit and a control unit for controlling the display unit, and may display a plurality of unit images in series on the display unit, wherein the display unit includes a first display area and a second display area controlled by the control unit, and the control unit controls so that the display of the unit image on the first display area may differ from the display of the unit image on the second display area in the format thereof. The control unit may be made so as to include a means for adjusting the transferring distance of a plurality of the unit images per unit time.

  • Patent number: 5966473
    Abstract: Described is an image processing system which is operative to automatically determine a quadrilateral object such as a character frame, page mark, or position correction mark only with a mouse click. A field is automatically specified by displaying a scanned image of a form including a black frame on a display, clicking within a character frame at the left end for each recognition field, and clicking within a character frame at the right end of the same field. In this case, a field position/size determination program scans the image in the vertical and horizontal directions from the two clicked points to detect the inner wall of the black frame, and produces a histogram by establishing rectangles between two character frames to automatically detect the number of character frames in the field and the thickness of the black line between the character frames.
