A non-transitory computer readable medium with a file genealogy identification program configured to cause a computer to perform: receiving a plurality of document files each having been added to with a unique identifier each time the document file has been saved by an application program and having a set of identifiers based on the added identifiers; determining a genealogical relationship between first and second document files in the plurality of document files based on a similarity calculated by obtaining an intersection based on comparison of a first set of identifiers collected from the first document file to a second set of identifiers collected from the second document file, obtaining a union of the first set of identifiers and the second set of identifiers, and calculating the similarity based on the number of unique identifiers in the intersection and the number of unique identifiers in the union.

Controlling a remote procedure call from a client computer to a server computer, the client computer extracts a periodic remote procedure call from among a plurality of remote procedure calls from the client computer and extracts a non-periodic remote procedure call from among the plurality of remote procedure calls from the client computer. The client computer identifies a first information associated with the extracted periodic remote procedure call that is an item whose value is determined to represent data targeted by the periodic remote procedure call. The client computer identifies a second information associated with the extracted non-periodic remote procedure call that is a targeted data value of the item, and sets a priority level, used to select for execution the periodic procedure call, based on the first information and the second information.

Device and method for controlling remote procedure call

A change operation changing a displayed portion of an electronic document from a first portion to a second portion is detected. First and second ranges of displayable portions of the electronic document are determined. The first range includes the first portion of the document and the second range includes the second portion of the document. A character string appears at a first frequency in the first range, and appears at a second frequency in the second range. Change information is generated that relates the second appearance frequency to the first appearance frequency.

Grasping contents of electronic documents

In a search server, a page collection unit collects Internet pages. An index generation unit generates an index of the pages. An index-tree generation unit generates an index tree representing the connection relationship among the pages in a tree structure, and in which a page linked from multiple pages is represented by different nodes in a duplicated manner. When a search word input unit inputs a search word in a client, a search-result generation unit of the search server generates a search result on the basis of the index. For the index tree, a search-result-tree generation unit, for example, highlights nodes containing the search word, and deletes nodes, each of which does not contain the search word and is not a branch point into multiple branches which contain the search word. The search-result-tree generation unit outputs the resulting search result to a search result display unit of the client.

Apparatus and method for supporting visualization of connection relationship

A method, system, and/or computer program product moves a movable object displayed on a display screen using an electronic device. The method comprises the electronic device displaying a first frame around a first area on a display screen, and displaying a second frame around a second area on the display screen. The second frame displayed is larger than the first frame, and adjusts in size until it intersects a movable object. Once the second frame intersects the movable object, a half line is displayed from the first frame to the movable object, and in response to receiving a movement signal, a display of the movable object is then displayed in the first area.

Moving an object displayed on a display screen

Information of landmark candidates, near a map route, is extracted. A recognizability score for the landmark candidates is assigned based on the extracted information of the landmark candidates. A landmark is selected, based on recognizability score, among the landmark candidates. And the map route is modified based the selected landmark.
