A web application server includes a user information management unit that manages user IDs and attributes such that each of the user IDs is associated with corresponding one of the attributes, a security policy management unit that manages security policies such that each of security policies is associated with corresponding one of the attributes, a security policy acquisition unit that acquires one of the security policies based on one of the attributes associated with one of the user IDs, and an HTML file generation unit that generates an HTML file in which a script to acquire personal data of corresponding one of users from an intra-company database server is embedded based on one of the security policies of the corresponding one of the users.

Web service provision system, server device, and method

A title is determined from a document image of an unspecified format based upon likelihood of containing a title in each of minimal circumscribing rectangles. The likelihood is determined based upon information obtained during character recognition of the image contained in the minimal circumscribing rectangles. The information includes a font type, a recognition assurance level, character code and so on.

Method and system for extracting title from document image

The current methods and systems for correcting image information improve input and output characteristics. Although .gamma. correction curves have been used in prior art, the current invention allows more refined control in the correction process without additional parameters or hardware. The refined control includes adjustments at a localized area of the correction curve, an efficient conversion between a standard range value and a device-dependent value, a color-specific correction and a flexible user interface. Furthermore, the above described advantages are provided on demand rather than storing the pre-calculated information.
