  • Patent number: 9600499
    Abstract: A system for comprehensively and effectively acquiring, as an interest graph, targets and regions of interest unique to a user is provided. A system according to the invention is a search system using as input means image information containing various objects and subjects, in which by querying an image recognition engine on the server side via a network about a selected image, the image recognition engine extracts and recognizes in real time various generic objects and the like contained in the specified image, and notifies a relevance search engine on the server side of recognized image components contained in the input image, and the relevance search engine extracts related elements for the individual image components, and visually presents a relevance graph with the extracted related elements as nodes together with the depths of relationships between the nodes.

  • Patent number: 9311156
    Abstract: The workload is heavy in the development of an application program that controls the task distribution in consideration of the variety of the execution environment. In a system where the processing is distributed to SPUs serving as plural processing entities so as to execute the computer program, the data processing is broken into plural units of processing by referring to the script code in which the content of the data processing is written, and the units of processing are assigned to the plural SPUs. Then, the whole computer program is executed when the SPUs execute the assigned process.

  • Patent number: 9204198
    Abstract: Provided is a server system in which real-time communication based on a moving image group is performed between a number of users. The moving image collection/delivery server system accumulates moving images sequentially uploaded in real time via a network in a database, generates moving image thumbnails used to simultaneously display a plurality of moving images on a single display screen in real time, allocates the moving image thumbnails to a channel group adaptively generated from sequentially uploaded moving images, and delivers the moving image thumbnails to a terminal having a display and operating unit in real time via a network, and the sequentially generated moving image thumbnails are stored in an allocated channel in ascending order of shooting times and delivered to a plurality of terminals.

  • Patent number: 9135752
    Abstract: Provided is an image display system which allows a user to browse an object of interest in a background as if she/he picks up and moves the object of interest by hand, and allows the user to visually enter inside a specified object placed on the background. The image display system of the present invention is characterized in that it has a mother database (MDB) reconfigured from a database for configuring an object, wherein an image (a two-dimensional image, a three-dimensional space or a four-dimensional space) based on the MDB, in an entire image, is substituted for an object subjected to the object recognition based on the MDB, and synthetically displayed.

  • Patent number: 9117014
    Abstract: In an open environment, a consensus building means for maintaining dependability throughout the entire life cycle of a target system between stakeholders is provided, thereby appropriately operating the target system in accordance with the content of an agreement between the stakeholders. A consensus building support tool provides a support for consensus building through an argument regarding an ordinary operation state of a target system. History obtained in the process of the consensus building is recorded in a database layer as an agreement graph. A monitoring node tool detects deviation from the ordinary operation state of the target system based on an actual operation state of the target system and the agreement graph. A contract generating tool extracts information data regarding the consensus building from the agreement graph when the deviation from the ordinary operation state is detected in the target system.

  • Publication number: 20120287304
    Abstract: Disclosed is an image recognition system which comprises a database having a learning function. The image recognition system comprises: a mother database (MDB) created from a database for configuring an object; a generic object recognition section; and an object recognition section. The generic object recognition section is operable to estimate a category group using a feature value obtained from an input image. The object recognition section is operable to compare a feature value represented by feature data about each of one or more objects belonging to a category narrowed down by the generic object recognition section and extracted from the MDB, with the feature value extracted from the input image, for each of a plurality of points including a structure of the input image, to thereby identify the object.
