A system for comprehensively and effectively acquiring, as an interest graph, targets and regions of interest unique to a user is provided. A system according to the invention is a search system using as input means image information containing various objects and subjects, in which by querying an image recognition engine on the server side via a network about a selected image, the image recognition engine extracts and recognizes in real time various generic objects and the like contained in the specified image, and notifies a relevance search engine on the server side of recognized image components contained in the input image, and the relevance search engine extracts related elements for the individual image components, and visually presents a relevance graph with the extracted related elements as nodes together with the depths of relationships between the nodes.

System for collecting interest graph by relevance search incorporating image recognition system

The workload is heavy in the development of an application program that controls the task distribution in consideration of the variety of the execution environment. In a system where the processing is distributed to SPUs serving as plural processing entities so as to execute the computer program, the data processing is broken into plural units of processing by referring to the script code in which the content of the data processing is written, and the units of processing are assigned to the plural SPUs. Then, the whole computer program is executed when the SPUs execute the assigned process.

System and method for distributing data processes among resources

Provided is a server system in which real-time communication based on a moving image group is performed between a number of users. The moving image collection/delivery server system accumulates moving images sequentially uploaded in real time via a network in a database, generates moving image thumbnails used to simultaneously display a plurality of moving images on a single display screen in real time, allocates the moving image thumbnails to a channel group adaptively generated from sequentially uploaded moving images, and delivers the moving image thumbnails to a terminal having a display and operating unit in real time via a network, and the sequentially generated moving image thumbnails are stored in an allocated channel in ascending order of shooting times and delivered to a plurality of terminals.

Server system for real-time moving image collection, recognition, classification, processing, and delivery

Provided is an image display system which allows a user to browse an object of interest in a background as if she/he picks up and moves the object of interest by hand, and allows the user to visually enter inside a specified object placed on the background. The image display system of the present invention is characterized in that it has a mother database (MDB) reconfigured from a database for configuring an object, wherein an image (a two-dimensional image, a three-dimensional space or a four-dimensional space) based on the MDB, in an entire image, is substituted for an object subjected to the object recognition based on the MDB, and synthetically displayed.

Image display system

In an open environment, a consensus building means for maintaining dependability throughout the entire life cycle of a target system between stakeholders is provided, thereby appropriately operating the target system in accordance with the content of an agreement between the stakeholders. A consensus building support tool provides a support for consensus building through an argument regarding an ordinary operation state of a target system. History obtained in the process of the consensus building is recorded in a database layer as an agreement graph. A monitoring node tool detects deviation from the ordinary operation state of the target system based on an actual operation state of the target system and the agreement graph. A contract generating tool extracts information data regarding the consensus building from the agreement graph when the deviation from the ordinary operation state is detected in the target system.

Database system and control method therefor

A workspace computer and/or a runtime computer of the present invention determines a D value quantitatively indicative of a value of dependability of a target system, in accordance with dependability description data indicative of a requirement and specification regarding the dependability of the target system.

Dependability maintenance system, change accommodation cycle execution device, failure response cycle execution device, method for controlling dependability maintenance system, control program, and computer-readable storage medium storing the control program

Data processing method and device

A computer-readable recording medium is disclosed which comprises a class including, as application program interfaces, a procedure for starting a thread management program which receives a request message to create a thread processes the thread based on the request message; a procedure for terminating the thread management program; and a procedure for registering into the thread management program what is processed by the thread.

Computer and recording medium including a thread management program for limiting threads

The present invention provides a program execution environment specification method capable of carrying out effective management of resources used for execution of a program. When a command to specify allocation of an area to store a logical address is issued, firstly, an address space structure is allocated as an area to store the logical address and an execution space structure is allocated to store an information of an area for sled execution. Next, a pointer to the address space structure is stored in a pointer to the execution space structure, and the pointer to the execution space structure is linked to a list of the pointer to the address space structure. After this, a sled structure is allocated as an area to store a sled information, the pointer to the execution space structure is stored in the pointer to the sled structure, and the pointer to the sled structure is linked to the list of the pointer to the execution space structure.

Program execution environment specification method and a recording medium containing the method recorded therein

The present invention provides a program creation apparatus for a software development system capable of deleting some of modules during an execution. A header file,and a source file,are compiled by a compiler,using a compile information,from a compile processing block,and the header file,, so as to create an object file,. Using a linker,, a link information,, and a library file,, the object file,is linked in a link processing block,so as to become an execution-formatted file,. A composite execution-formatted file information,provides an information about the execution-formatted file,to be contained in a composite execution-formatted file format file,. According to this information, a composite execution-formatted file creation block,is supplied with an initialization program,and a plurality of execution-formatted files,and outputs the single composite execution-formatted file format file
