Patent number: 11443068Abstract: The invention prevents data from leaking. In a data management system (1), a terminal device (2) saves a remaining data among the remaining data and an incomplete data acquired by partitioning an image data of an ID card of a user in a storage unit, and uploads the incomplete data to a data management server (5) via a network (N). A data recovery device (4) acquires the remaining data from the terminal device (2), and acquires the incomplete data from the data management server (5) via the network (N). Further, the data recovery device (4) recovers the image data of the ID card of the user from the remaining data and the incomplete data.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignees: SATORI ELECTRIC CO., LTD., A⋅T COMMUNICATIONS CO., LTD.Inventors: Takafumi Kakioka, Hiroshi Toyoizumi, Youichi Azuma

Patent number: 10360821Abstract: A character code conversion device (10) utilizes not a standard character code table but a conversion character code table that is the converted standard character code, and transmits a conversion character code string indicating a sentence subjected to transmission to a sentence recognition device (20) via a network (N). Hence, even if a third party obtains the conversion character code string, the standard character code table is utilized, and thus the character string specified from the conversion character code string is completely different from the sentence subjected to transmission. Accordingly, proper recognition of the sentence subjected to transmission is difficult. Consequently, the security of the sentence subjected to transmission is enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2014Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: AT Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Toyoizumi, Youichi Azuma, Tetsuya Takahashi, Maya Takami

Patent number: 10277585Abstract: A server device for safely managing information is configured to store prescribed character codes and converted character codes in correlation with each other, said server device being connected, via a network (N), to a terminal device for receiving a converted character code string corresponding to a character string indicating personal information stored in a storage unit device. Responsive to the reception of a prescribed character code string corresponding to a character string indicating an item included in the personal information by the terminal device, the server device converts each of prescribed character codes included in the prescribed character code string to a corresponding converted character code, thereby generating a converted character code string corresponding to the character string indicating the item.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2015Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: A.T COMMUMCATIONS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroshi Toyoizumi, Youichi Azuma, Tetsuya Takahashi, Maya Takami

Patent number: 10102463Abstract: In a two-dimensional code generation device (100), a white point determiner (111) determines a white point in an environment to output a two-dimensional code. A threshold acquirer (112) acquires a threshold of lightness used by a reading device for reading multiple cells in binary, the threshold being represented in a device-independent color space that is based on the white point determined by the white point determiner (111). A two-dimensional code generator (113) generates a two-dimensional code expressing information by a distribution pattern of multiple cell dots formed by coloring the multiple cells in a color of lightness equal to or higher than the threshold acquired by the threshold acquirer (112) and in a color of lightness lower than the threshold.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: A.T Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Toyoizumi, Youichi Azuma, Toshiki Nishiyama, Takuji Tokiwa

Patent number: 9654291Abstract: In an authentication system, a mobile communication client transmits to an authentication server a bit signal that includes an image capture bit sequence obtained by capturing an image of a self-aware two-dimensional code having authentication information embedded in a correction area, and a number bit sequence that indicates a serial number of an authentication application program being stored in storage. The authentication server authenticates the user of the mobile communication client and the self-aware two-dimensional code. Subsequently, the authentication server transmits designated information expressed by the self-aware two-dimensional code to the mobile communication client, on the condition that the user and the self-aware two-dimensional code are successfully authenticated. Consequently, the mobile communication client is able to acquire the designated information expressed by the self-aware two-dimensional code.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: A.T Communications Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Toyoizumi, Youichi Azuma

Patent number: 9547815Abstract: A logo-added two-dimensional code creation device determines the color of a two-dimensional code to be superimposed on a logo image by adjusting the L value indicating the color lightness, whereby a logo-added two-dimensional code readable regardless of influence of post-printing processing and/or ambient light can be created. The logo-added two-dimensional code has smaller cells superimposed on the tiger character that can easily lose the design integrity than the cells superimposed on the background part, ensuring the design integrity of the logo image without impairing the readability of information.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2015Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: A.

Patent number: 9436852Abstract: A two-dimensional code authenticating device reads a self-authentication two-dimensional code to obtain an RS bit string, and detects a bit string c? as an error using the RS bit string. Next, an exclusive OR between a bit string l included in the RS bit string and the bit string c? detected as an error is calculated to obtain a bit string c?, and a bit string md is obtained by decrypting the bit string c? through a scheme corresponding to the encryption. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the decrypted bit string md matches the bit string m included in the RS bit string, thereby authenticating the self-authentication two-dimensional code.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: A.T.

Patent number: 7360431Abstract: The pressure sensor device has a laminated diaphragm (12) in which a strain resistance gauge is formed in a surface and a stopper member (13) including a concave portion forming a curved surface parallel to a surface formed by displacement of the diaphragm, the concave portion being disposed to face the diaphragm. Specifically, the concave portion of the stopper member is formed into a curved surface in which depth y at a distance x from the center of the diaphragm is expressed by a quartic function [y=pr4(1?x2/r2)2/64D] in relation to the operating pressure for protection against maximum pressure p when the diaphragm has a radius of r, a thickness of t, and a flexural rigidity of D.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2004Date of Patent: April 22, 2008Assignee: Yamatake CorporationInventors: Masayuki Yoneda, Jun Mizoguchi, Yasuhiro Kajio, Masaya Ishikawa, Youichi Azuma, Naohisa Tsuchiya
