A method includes storing, in response to marking by a user of an area of a displayed document, information on the marked area; displaying an icon representing the marked area; conducting the storing operation and the displaying operation for a different area; and creating, in response to an operation by the user for arranging two or more icons to be in contact with each other, a joined icon by joining the icons together; and combining marked areas represented by the two or more respective icons, according to a state of contact. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed herein.

Combining and displaying multiple document areas

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may manage, by a first computing system, a plurality of mobile objects moving within a geographic space. Managing the plurality of mobile objects may assisting with movement of the plurality of mobile objects. The embodiment may determine whether a first mobile object among the plurality of mobile objects is a real mobile object based on a first sensor information received from the first mobile object. The embodiment may use information received from the first mobile object in managing the plurality of mobile objects moving within the geographic space based on determining that the first mobile object is the real mobile object.

Management of mobile objects

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for generation of vehicle travel data. Past-travel data including previously taken trips, along with metadata including, but not limited to, vehicle type, vehicle model, navigation device model, are obtained and classified. A travel route for simulation data is selected. Data from various previous trips are combined to create a simulation data set for the travel route. This data is based on actual vehicle data. This can enable a new level of accuracy for data analysis and simulations based on this data as compared with purely simulated data. Actual vehicle data accounts for driver behavior, road obstacles, signage, vegetation, vehicle characteristics, and other factors that may not be able to be captured with purely simulated traffic data. Using the data generated by disclosed embodiments enables these factors to be considered in traffic analysis.

System and method for generating vehicle travel data

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may identify, by an event agent (EA), an event occurring in a geographic space in which a plurality of mobile objects move. The embodiment may include determining the event is an expected event based on predicting time-series changes of the event handled by the EA. The embodiment may manage the one mobile object based on the expected event.

A device generates an operating procedure manual for software including a captured image of a screen displayed by the software. An image acquiring hardware unit acquires a plurality of captured images of a plurality of screens displayed by software in response to a plurality of operations with respect to the software. A dividing hardware unit divides the plurality of captured images into a plurality of captured image groups, to each of which at least one captured image acquired in response to at least one operation constituting a meaningful chunk belongs. A generating hardware unit generates an operating procedure manual including, for each captured image group, a captured image belonging to that captured image group.

Generating an operating procedure manual

Embodiments generally relate to locating a moving vehicle. In some embodiments, a method includes determining driving information associated with a vehicle that is moving, where the driving information includes pattern information associated with past movement of the vehicle. The method further includes periodically receiving reported vehicle probe information from the vehicle, where the reported vehicle probe information includes a current location of the vehicle. The method further includes acquiring context information on surroundings of the vehicle if no reported vehicle probe information is received from the vehicle for a predetermined amount of time. The method further includes generating estimation vehicle probe information associated with the vehicle based on the context information, where the estimation vehicle probe information includes one or more candidate locations of the vehicle.

Determining a current position of a vehicle in real-time

An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product and computer system for managing mobile objects. The embodiment may identify, by an event agent (EA), an event occurring in a geographic space in which a plurality of mobile objects move. The embodiment may determine the event is an expected event based on predicting time-series changes of the event handled by the EA. The embodiment may manage, by a predictive environment agent (PEA), the expected event.

The present invention may be a method, a system, and/or a computer program product. An embodiment of the present invention provides a computer-implemented method for associating one or more test cases with one or more source code parts for a test target, or vice versa. The method comprises the followings: obtaining one or more historical data in which one or more modification histories made in one or more source codes are associated with one or more test operation histories made in the test target after the one or more modifications; for each of the historical data, determining whether the test operation history has one or more parts which are identical or similar with those in one or more test cases; and if the determination is positive, associating the one or more test cases with one or more source code parts in the one or more modification histories which have been associated with the test operation history, or vice versa.

Association between a test case and source code

Aspects of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for mobile computing device proximity notification. The method includes one or more processors acquiring location information for a plurality of mobile computing devices. The method further includes one or more processors creating a first group of mobile computing devices based on location proximity in the acquired location information of the plurality of mobile computing devices, wherein the created first group includes a first mobile computing device and a second mobile computing device. The method further includes one or more processors determining whether the first mobile computing device is within a predetermined distance to the second mobile computing device, and the first mobile computing device and the second mobile computing device are outside of an area associated with the first group.

Mobile device proximity notification

Cloud services may be utilized by implementing an I/O hook that can intercept a data access from an application, migrating data accessed by the application to a cloud server that provides a cloud service, receiving, from the I/O hook, a data access intercepted from the application, and redirecting the intercepted data access to the cloud server.
