Patent number: 8489602Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2012Date of Patent: July 16, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yasutomo Nakayama, Shinkichi Hamada, Yuko Ito

Patent number: 8375027Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yasutomo Nakayama, Shinkichi Hamada, Yuko Ito

Patent number: 8311801Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for improving the efficiency of changing or modifying a message displayed by a program. A memory unit stores a message read and displayed by the execution of a program, associating it with a language in which the message is written. An execution unit reads from the memory unit and displays the message corresponding to a language set by a user by executing the program. An editing unit edits the message stored in the memory unit and stores the edited message into the memory unit, associating it with a different language from that of the unedited message. A setting unit changes the language of the message displayed by the execution unit, where the execution unit reads from the memory unit and displays the message corresponding to the language changed by the setting unit thereby displaying the edited message instead of the unedited message.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Nozomu Aoyama, Shinkichi Hamada, Shinsaku Kudomi, Yuko Ito
