Publication number: 20240020642Abstract: A system and method are provided for using artificial intelligence for patent valuation. The method includes obtaining a master list of patent classification codes used by a patent office. The method also includes, for each patent issued by the patent office: obtaining a respective set of patent classification codes assigned to the respective patent and forming a respective training vector. Each element in the respective training vector is a categorical variable that specifies whether a patent classification code is included in the respective set of classification codes. The system receives a respective user-specified value metric for each patent. The method also includes training a machine learning model according to a training data table that includes the training vectors. The machine learning model is configured to predict value metrics for patents according to their corresponding patent classification codes.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: OLYMPUS CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshikazu AKAMINE, Ryo KARASAWA, Atsushi OKAWA

Patent number: 6622276Abstract: A long time optical recording and repeated reproduction of multimedia information is possible. Using a printer system or printing process system, on a recording medium such as a sheet, the so-caled multimedia information in the form of dot codes (36) together with images (32) and characters (34) is recorded. The multimedia information includes audio information such as voices, image information obtainable from a camera and others, and digitally coded data obtainable from a personal computer and other. A pen-like information reproducing device (40) is manually moved to scan the dot codes (36) and to take in the dot codes. The original sound is generated by a voice output device (42) such as an earphone, the original image information is outputted on a display such as a CRT, and the digitally coded original data to a page printer or the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2002Date of Patent: September 16, 2003Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tatsuo Nagasaki, Hiroyoshi Fujimori, Takeshi Mori, Shinzo Matsui, Yoshikazu Akamine, Seiichi Wakamatsu, Kazuhiko Morita

Publication number: 20030001013Abstract: A script file containing contents for controlling files, folders, applications, devices, and other objects is recorded as an optically readable coded image on an information recording medium together with the heading of each genre, a symbolic illustration representing each control content, and an accurate explanation of the control content by texts. When the operator reads a desired coded image by an information processing apparatus, a decoder decodes the script file of the coded image. A scripting host application loads and executes the script file. The script file controls various application programs such as a Web browser and mailer, files, folders, devices, and other objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2002Publication date: January 2, 2003Applicant: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yoshikazu Akamine

Patent number: 5905250Abstract: A code information reading section selects recording codes which are respectively recorded on a plurality of recording media one at a time, and sequentially optically reads the recording codes in order to make it possible to synthesize a plurality of audio information items which are previously coded and recorded in an optically readable form and to simultaneously output them. A code information decoding section sequentially decodes the recording codes read by the code information reading section. A decoded information synthesizing section sequentially synthesizes digital audio signals sequentially decoded by the code information decoding section. A D/A converter converts the digital audio signal synthesized by the decoded information synthesizing section into an analog audio signal. An audio output section outputs the analog audio signal converted by the D/A converter as an audio output.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1997Date of Patent: May 18, 1999Assignee: Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroyuki Fukuda, Mutsumi Kikuchi, Yoshikazu Akamine, Seiichi Wakamatsu
