A data processing apparatus includes a circuit selecting unit and a decoding processor. The circuit selecting unit selects a decoder circuit for each data part of encoded target data. The decoder circuit is suitable for an arrangement of run lengths in the data part. The decoding processor performs reconfiguration to form the decoder circuit selected for the data part, and decodes the target data.

A data compression apparatus includes a lossless compression unit performing lossless compression of each data unit of original data to be compressed to output compressed data; a measuring unit measuring a data amount of the compressed data; and a generating unit generating and outputting compression result management data indicating a result of the compression of each data unit of the original data. The generating unit records data indicating a range of the original data of the data unit if the data amount of the compressed data is larger than or equal to the data amount of the data unit before completion of the lossless compression. The generating unit records data indicating a range of the compressed data of the data unit if the data amount of the compressed data is smaller than the data amount of the data unit upon completion of the lossless compression of the data unit.

An image data processing apparatus includes a configuration selecting unit, a loading unit, and a controller. The configuration selecting unit determines types of image characteristics of individual processing units in image data and selects plural pieces of circuit configuration data for individual processing units. The loading unit predicts a predetermined number of pieces of circuit configuration data in descending order of the likelihood of being selected for the processing unit currently being processed, and loads, before selection of the circuit configuration data for the processing unit, the predetermined number of pieces of configuration data into a circuit configuration memory for a reconfigurable circuit. If the selected circuit configuration data has already been loaded, the controller causes the circuit configuration to be reconfigured. If the selected circuit configuration data has not been loaded, the controller causes the selected circuit configuration data to be loaded and the circuit configuration to be reconfigured.

A service retrieval apparatus has a service information database which stores service information including a type of service provided by a server and positional information, and a service retrieval apparatus database which stores information including installation positions of other service retrieval apparatuses. A service retrieval unit generates retrieval conditions to execute service retrieval in response to a service retrieval request from a client. When it is judged by a retrieval result judgment unit that a result of the retrieval by the service retrieval unit does not satisfy judgment criteria set in advance, a retrieval range setting unit changes a retrieval range included in the retrieval conditions so as to be wider or narrower. The service retrieval unit performs service retrieval again with respect to the change retrieval range and obtains a retrieval result with which a user is satisfied.

Service retrieval apparatus having automatic change function for retrieval conditions and method therefor

A device retrieval system in a network system including a plurality of devices each having at least one attribute. The retrieval system includes: a plurality of device registration units, a device retrieval unit and an identity judgment unit. The device registration unit registers at least a part of the devices and attributes thereof while associating the devices with the attributes respectively. The device retrieval unit retrieves devices and attributes thereof from the devices and the attributes registered in the device registration units. The identity judgment unit judges identity as to whether a device retrieved from one of the device registration units is identical to a device retrieved from one of the others of the device registration units, based on common points of attributes of the retrieved devices.

Device retrieval system on the basis of device attributes and method thereof

When a movement detector section detects that a network device has been moved, a deletion section causes the deletion of pre-movement positional information stored in a positional information storage section. When an alert output section detects a state in which no positional information is set in the positional information storage section, the alert output section outputs an alert. A positional information setter section updates the positional information storage section with post-movement positional information of the network device which is input by an administrator in response to the alert so that the actual installation position matches the positional information set in the positional information storage section. In this manner, the network device avoids a situation in which positional information indicating an installation position before movement is still set even after the device has been moved.

Network device and method for managing installation position of network device

When a retrieve request of a service is issued, a service retrieving apparatus according to the present invention sets a retrieve range of services within a wide-area network based upon both a service retrieving request source and a service use condition in accordance with both a geographical view point and communication conditions of networks. The service retrieving apparatus is installed in each of plural networks which constitute the wide-area network, detects a service server contained in each of these networks, and acquires service information. The acquired service information is also notified to the service retrieving apparatus of other networks.
