  • Patent number: 9832285
    Abstract: To select a communication sequence for automating user's operations, a system performing a user's operation is provided, which acquires and stores a communication history of a client with a server in receipt of a user's operation; accesses the storage to detect from the history a plurality of communication sequences that cause the same screen transition on the client; accesses the storage to select an input parameter that is included in all of the plurality of communication sequences and that has a parameter value changed for each communication sequence; accepts an input of a new parameter value to be set as a value of the selected input parameter; and sets the new parameter value to the selected input parameter in response to the input of the new parameter value, to execute a communication sequence that causes the same screen transition as that caused by the detected communication sequences.

  • Patent number: 9378649
    Abstract: Displaying digital document data with partial text data therein replaced with unreadable mask data. A designation is made of partial text data to be replaced within digital document data with the unreadable mask data. Replacement document data is generated. A selection of one of the plurality of rule information pieces is accepted. Then, based on the replacement information extracted by using a selection-accepted rule information piece, the unique identification information included in the replaced document data is replaced with either the unreadable mask data or the partial text data.

  • Patent number: 8489602
    Abstract: Determining exclusion efficiencies of a plurality of keywords appearing in a search result of an exclusion keyword for indicating efficient exclusion of an unwanted piece of data when the user narrows searching objects. The determining of exclusion efficiencies may involve a processor to calculate an exclusion efficiency for each of a plurality of keywords, if a search condition is applied to the search result and the keyword is applied as an exclusion keyword to the search result. The exclusion efficiency of each of the plurality of keywords provides an indication regarding the effectiveness of exclusion of the keyword.

  • Patent number: 8375027
    Abstract: Facilitating a user determination of an exclusion keyword in order to specify an efficient exclusion of an unwanted piece of data when the user narrows searching objects. Exclusion is accomplished in a system having a searching object data storage for storing pieces of searching object data, a searcher for performing a primary narrowing of the search, a common keyword extractor for extracting the common keywords associated with a piece of data, an input/output device for passing a selected keyword selected the extracted common keywords while receiving and displaying a result from an exclusion efficiency calculator. The exclusion efficiency calculator calculates exclusion efficiency and indicates a level of exclusion efficiency of data that is not associated with a selected keyword for an individual common keyword.

  • Publication number: 20120127571
    Abstract: A method of generating an image to be observed as a stereoscopic image when viewed binocularly through an eye-side surface of a lenticular lens, in which a plurality of parallax images are arranged on a back surface of each of lenses of the lenticular lens or light beams corresponding to the plurality of images are input to the back surface, the method including parallax per unit length is made relatively smaller, in at least part, at a position closer to each edge of each lens in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the lens.

  • Patent number: 7698688
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically executing an internationalization test of web applications by recording and utilizing HTTP transmitted and received data in the internationalization test in a multilingual web application. By processing and storing recorded HTTP transmitted and received data in a base language to prepare an HTTP request corresponding to a user specified test object language to a web server, a test is automatically executed while emulating user operations on the web browser in the test object language. This generates corresponding HTTP transmitted and received data in the test object language. By comparing and analyzing the HTTP transmitted and received data in the base language and test object language, a required verification for an internationalization test is automatically conducted and the verification results are stored or recorded for later use in subsequent operations.

  • Patent number: 5519819
    Abstract: A graphic processing method and apparatus allows the operator to easily draw a curve with any curvature in any section of a graphic on the display screen of a computer. A frame appears when selecting a subject graphic to be transformed by operating a mouse. The frame has an operating member for size change, an operating member for movement, operating members for rotation, and an operating member for movement of the center. Each of the rotation operating members has a frame and a subject graphic rotation operating member, a frame rotation operating member, or a subject graphic rotation member. By selecting any one of the operating members, the subject graphic and frame rotate together, or only the frame or subject graphic rotates. The ratio for enlargement or reduction can be changed in accordance with the direction of the subject graphic by rotating only the frame or subject graphic and moving the transformation center according to necessity before changing the size.

  • Patent number: 5483626
    Abstract: A graphic-transforming apparatus and method are provided for freely transforming an object graphic with easy operations. A curve or polygonal line to be transformed, that is, the object graphic, and a pattern consisting of a closed curve and functioning as a ruler are set up and a transformation is executed in which a part of the object graphic is replaced with a part or the whole of the pattern by specifying a transformation range, that is, by specifying a starting point, an ending point, and the direction of the route according to certain rules. The pattern consists of any line drawing such as a circle or polygon, which can be moved (and also rotated, enlarged, and contracted) and freely operated on the object graphic like moving a ruler on a drawing paper. The following rules are applied to the starting point, ending point, and route. The starting point must be an intersection between the object graphic and the pattern. The ending point must be a point on the pattern.
