Reliability is evaluated in constructing a component based-on application and an application for realizing reliability required can be constructed efficiently. A run-time history such as an occurrence frequency of errors, a recovery time required at error occurrence, and a processing capacity at preventive maintenance is added per software component to a run-time history list having been recoded per execution environment such as an application ID, combined component IDs, and executed hardware ID. From these pieces of information, an interval of performing preventive maintenance recommended per software component during system construction is calculated. By comparing reliability per software component and reliability required for the system, advisability is determined and conformance is evaluated. An execution schedule for preventive maintenance and a processing capability are calculated about the entire component-based application created by combining the software components. By calculating the reliability and the processing capability in the entire system to be compared to those required for the entire system, advisability is determined and conformance is evaluated.

Component-based application constructing method

To display many objects within a limited display region so a user can easily select the desired object, the invention includes: processing of arranging the objects in a virtual plane, processing of arranging a projection surface (a virtual projection body) on the virtual plane, processing of computing positions of the objects on the projection surface corresponding to the positions of the objects on the virtual plane, processing of converting the positions on the projection surface into positions on display regions of a display device, processing of displaying the objects on the display regions, and processing of operating the objects on the display regions based on instructions from a pointing device.

Inputted sign language word labels and editing items such as speeds and positions of moving portions for specifying manual signs and/or sign gestures corresponding to the respective sign language word labels are displayed on an editing screen. These editing items are modified by the user to add non-language information such as emphasis/feeling information to the contents of communication, thereby generating modified sign language animation information data including the inputted sign language word label string having the added non-language information. For communication or interaction, the non-language information is extracted from the modified sign language animation information data and stored into a memory with the inputted sign language word label string. When a hearing impaired person communicates or interacts with another person through text, the user can emphasize the contents of communication or show the user's feeling for the contents of communication to the other person.

Apparatus capable of processing sign language information

An insulated gate type field effect transistor for high power which has a low conductivity region surrounding a drain region and an offset gate region having a further lower conductivity adjoined thereto, wherein the length and impurity concentration are designed according to the electric characteristics of the transistor. A combination of P channel and N channel type transistors having substantially the same electric characteristics and an audio amplifying circuit using the combination are also disclosed.
