  • Patent number: 9032326
    Abstract: An enterprise management software system that provides a methodology for transient data storage, user action handling and dependent object creation process. When a dependent object is required to be added, the software system may remember the action without creating the dependent object. When a command is received to cancel the dependent object creation, the software system may work only on the transient data at a frontend and will not interact with backend. The dependent object may be instantiated when receiving a user command to save any entered data. Responsive to the user command, the software system may collect user input and trigger dependent object instantiation process at the backend.

  • Patent number: 8903135
    Abstract: Provided is a stereo image processing apparatus and a method of processing a stereo image, wherein calculation precision of disparity is improved, while maintaining a processing amount equal to the SAD method. In the stereo image processing apparatus (200), a data deletion unit (201) is installed in a stage prior to an image matching unit (102) and a filter unit (103), and forms a thinned-out target image and a thinned-out reference image, by thinning out a target image and a reference image. The filter unit (103) carries out filtering that uses an inverted phase filter, which is matching based on phase correlation.

  • Publication number: 20140282128
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing mandatory and shared user interface (UI) functions among UIs that share a common main business object are disclosed. Such embodiments include a UI controller having a superclass for implementing mandatory UI functions, a delegation class for implementing shared UI functions, and a concrete UI controller classes corresponding to concrete UIs associated with the same business object. The concrete UI classes inherit the superclass and selectively delegate to the delegation class. Thus, a concrete UI can be instantiated and operated using a corresponding concrete UI controller class. When a UI action is received, the UI controller can trigger the corresponding mandatory or shared UI functions. The UI controller can handle setting common UI parameters, UI function specific and default parameters. The separate handling of the mandatory and shared UI functions increases the flexibility, organization, and efficiency of developing and implementing multiple UIs.

  • Publication number: 20110105857
    Abstract: An impression degree extraction apparatus which precisely extracts an impression degree without imposing a strain on a user in particular. A content editing apparatus (100) comprises a measured emotion property acquiring section (341) which acquires measured emotion properties which show an emotion having occurred in the user in a measurement period, and an impression degree calculating part (340) which calculates the impression degree being a degree which shows how strong the user was impressed in the measurement period by comparing reference emotion properties which shows an emotion having occurred in the user in a reference period and the measured emotion properties. The impression degree calculating part (340) calculates the impression degree to be higher with the increase of the difference between the first emotion properties and the second emotion properties with the second emotion properties as the reference.
