| 20110307457 | INTEGRATED DUPLICATE ELIMINATION SYSTEM, DATA STORAGE DEVICE, AND SERVER DEVICE - First, a duplicate elimination process based on a first duplicate elimination process, in which both a duplicate elimination effect and a processing load are low, is executed. Information related to a processing result of the duplicate elimination process based on the first duplicate elimination process is acquired prior to execution of a second duplicate elimination process, in which both the duplicate elimination effect and the processing load are high. Target data of the second duplicate elimination process is narrowed down based on the acquired information. The second duplicate elimination process is applied only to the narrowed down target data. As a result, an integrated duplicate elimination system with a lower processing load than in a conventional system is realized while attaining a high duplicate elimination effect. | 12-15-2011 |

| 20110282966 | CONTENT DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND GATEWAY DEVICE, AND PROGRAM - A renderer (DMR) in a second local area network via an Internet is enabled to reproduce content in a first local area network. A content transmission system generates a virtual DMR corresponding to a DMR (content reproduction device) in a content reception system. A DMC (controller) and a DMS (content server) recognize the virtual DMR as if to be an actual DMR and communicate therewith. This enables content to be reproduced in an actual DMR in a different home network residing beyond the Internet without any modification on the DLNA standard. A transmission gateway device (transmission mechanism) relays communication destined for the virtual DMR (instructions and content) to a reception gateway device (reception mechanism). Also in the content reception system, the actual DMR is capable of processing communication from a different home network by communication only with the reception mechanism. This negates the need for modification on the DLNA standard. | 11-17-2011 |

| 20110135209 | BUSINESS DOCUMENT PROCESSOR - A seal impression is removed while keeping character string information when applying OCR to a business document stored in grayscale, even if the character string and the seal impression overlap with each other. The character string that overlaps is extrapolated by matching a character string present near the seal impression against a database. First, a seal impression region in a document inputted in grayscale is removed. Next, character information that is present near the removed seal impression region and of which a portion of the characters is unclear due to the seal impression region is extracted. Then, an attribute of the extracted seal impression related information is identified, a customer database storing character string candidates containing customer information is referred to, and based on the seal impression related information classified by attribute, the character string that overlaps with the seal impression region and that is thus unclear is extrapolated. | 06-09-2011 |
