In the cabling work aiding system, the RFID reader reads the RFID attached to at least one of the terminal, its terminal block, and cable member. A cabling work terminal device is connected to the RFID reader. The device is comprised of: a data base that records a template connection diagram containing the terminal-side RFID region constituted by RFID data as to the terminal and a cable-side RFID region constituted by RFID data as to the cable member; a relating part that relates the RFID read by the RFID reader to the terminal-side RIFD region and the cable-side RIFD region defined in the template connection diagram; a terminal-cable member correspondence table preparing part that prepares a correspondence table for leading correspondence between the RFID data as to the terminal and RFID data as to cable member from correspondence between the terminal-side RIFD region and the cable-side RFID related by the RFID read by the RFID reader.

Cabling work aiding system and work aiding method

When an RFID is attached to an object to assist testing operations, the following problems are encountered; (1) the RFID of write type tends to cause a failure and is troublesome due to the necessity of rewrite each time the situation is changed, (2) the incorporation of the reader function in a terminal block increases the cost, and (3) the known techniques are targeted for only the connecting operation and are not adapted for a sequence test that takes the most expense in time and effort. The operations are aided by using an RFID reader and a terminal having the function for accessing a database of circuit information, RFID information, and test procedure information.

RFID system, RFID cable system, and RFID cable laying method

A RFID registration system is provided with a reader for reading an ID of an object to be identified by an RFID, an RFID existence position indicating the position of the RFID, and the RFID; an associating apparatus for associating the read RFID with the ID of the object to be identified by the RFID, a position information generation apparatus for obtaining the read position at the same time the position has been read, and a collation apparatus for obtaining an ID of the object to be identified by the RFID based on the read position and the RFID existence position. The RFID registration system can be avoid making the mistaken association between the RFID and the object to which the identification ID is attached.

A cable connection support apparatus has a structure in which a master apparatus and a slave apparatus are connected to both ends of a plurality of cables, and each apparatus is connected to each cable by a connecting terminal. The master apparatus and the slave apparatus are grounded. The master apparatus makes, for each connected cable, an inquiry about a position of a terminal of the slave apparatus to which the cable is connected, and inspects for inter-continuity, grounded connection, and unintentional disconnection. The connection destinations and inspection results are displayed on a display apparatus. Consequently, the connection condition for each cable wire in a cable can be confirmed.

Cable connection support apparatus and method of supporting cable connection

A cable connection guiding method includes the steps of extracting conductor identification information being used to identify a conductor from a RFID tag connected to the conductor of a cable, and indicating a terminal indicating device associated with an obtained terminal, according to terminal identification information.

Disclosed is a cable identifying system for accurately discriminating one cable from another on site over a long period of time, the system enabling a cable layer or a cable user, when laying out an RFID built-in cable, to do without manually writing any information in the RFID tags built in the cable. One cable having RFID tags built therein can be accurately realized. The individual ID's of the RFID tags are read and stored in a storage apparatus. When a part of the cable is cut, the ID's of the RFID tags nearest to the both end of the cable are read out, and the ID-related data of the RFID tags in the cut-out cable are recorded on a desired medium or electronic information medium.

A utility diagnosing equipment can recognize an abnormality or a normality in a plurality of utilities of an identical type, which would not be recognized when an absolute threshold is set. The equipment accepts state values from the plurality of utilities, sets an average value of the state values of each utility to a proxy value, finds a relative value between the state value of each utility and the proxy value thereof, and displays the relative value for each utility. The relative values of the utilities exceeding a predetermined threshold is highlighted.

Apparatus for recognizing input character strings by inference

A character recognizing apparatus capable of recognizing discriminatively characters written continuously, irregularly and/or containing modification is provided which apparatus includes an input unit for allowing a handwritten character to be inputted to thereby output coordinate-points string, a dictionary for storing therein a plurality of character codes and character patterns corresponding to the character codes, respectively, an element decomposition module for decomposing the coordinates string outputted from the input unit into a plurality of elements which constitute the character, and a matching module for determining corresponding distance values for the elements of the character pattern stored in the dictionary and the elements of character pattern of the inputted character for each of the character patterns stored in the dictionary, to thereby correct the distance values determined on the basis of the elements bearing no correspondence.

Character recognizer

A display device has a touch pad and a display lamintated together to form a screen, That screen is connected to a controller which processes signals generated by physical contact with the touch pad and activates the display to display e.g. characters input by a stylus to the touch pad. The display device is connected to an external device (e.g. a computer) and video signals from the external device are received via a video input and may be displayed on the display. Also the controller can transmit to the external device via an output. Thus, the display can display simultaneously information from the external device and information input to the touch pad. If the controller is arranged to carry out character recognition, the display device may then act as a hand-writing input device, with the handwritten information being incorporated with information in the external device and displayed.

Display device and display system incorporating such a device

The present invention relates to a multi-user pattern data processing system configured for various kinds of patterns, such as characters, to learn efficiently and effectively. The present invention comprises an input arrangement 1 having patterns entered therein from a plurality of users, a dictionary 2 having patterns and attributes of the patterns belonging thereto defined therein, a recognizing arrangement 4 that receives the entered pattern and a group attribute and retrieves from among the patterns entered in the dictionary and having a corresponding group attribute to feed out the category, and a dictionary editing arrangement 5 for extracting a pattern used in common by a group before editing the pattern, such as entering it in the common dictionary, with the group having the user made to belong thereto. The invention allows the dictionary used to the pattern recognition to learn very efficiently and effectively.

Collaborative learning system and pattern recognition method

The present invention relates to an information processing system using a coordinate detection device and displays, and more specifically to an input-display integrated information processing system which allows the displays to be carried like paper and to be freely laid out and stacked together on a desk (coordinate input device). The system includes a layout determining unit for determining a layout of the display on said coordinate detection device, wherein the layout determining unit further comprises a display position coordinate detector that detects where in the coordinate space of the coordinate detection device the display for displaying an information is located, and a coordinate converter that converts the information into display coordinates. The layout determination is done by using markers attached to three of the four corners of the display.
