20100302375 | INSPECTION SYSTEM, MOBILE TERMINAL, INSPECTION METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An inspection method of allowing a mobile terminal to execute: a step of displaying inspection information and drawing information based on an inspection sheet containing inspection information on an inspection object and inspection content and drawing information on the inspection information; a step of selecting a desired inspection object from the inspection objects contained in the inspection sheet according to the displayed drawing information; a step of inputting an inspection result corresponding to the inspection content of the selected inspection object; a step of inputting a shooting point of the selected inspection object; a step of shooting an image by using the inspection object as an object to be shot; and a step of storing inspection result data associating the selected inspection object, the inputted inspection result, the inputted shooting point, and the inspection photo which is the shot image. | 12-02-2010 |
20100306117 | CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION SYSTEM, PORTABLE TERMINAL, CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - In an embodiment of the present invention, to easily input an association between an evidence photograph and an inspection result on site while obtaining an excellent evidence photograph, a server, a PC, and a portable terminal are used to perform a series of inspection operations including creation of an inspection check sheet, input of an inspection result, imaging of an evidence photograph, and output of a slip. Particularly, the portable terminal can be used to input an inspection point, input an inspection result, image an evidence photograph, determine pass/fail of the evidence photograph, and retake an image. Therefore, the portability and the operability at the inspection site are high, and excellent evidence photographs can be surely obtained at the inspection site. The evidence photographs do not have to be retaken later, and some photographs with unknown quality do not have to be taken for later selection. | 12-02-2010 |
20110050881 | INSPECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - There is provided an accurate association between an inspection result inputted from a mobile terminal and the accurate position and direction on the drawing of a shooting point of an inspection photo shot by a digital camera. In step S | 03-03-2011 |
20110239100 | INSPECTION INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An inspection information processing apparatus, comprising:

20120047234 | WEB PAGE BROWSING SYSTEM AND RELAY SERVER - This invention allows a mobile terminal to browse a Web page without destroying the design of the Web page and, in particular, browse and operate even a Web page incorporating a piece of rich content, even if the mobile terminal does not have the function of browsing a Web page for PCs. A relay server converts a Web page into image data intended to be browsed (an image) and provides the image data to a mobile terminal. The relay server extracts a rich content area and detects a change in an image in the rich content area, if a Web page incorporates a piece of rich content. When a change in the image is detected, the relay server converts the current Web page into image data intended to be browsed and transmits the image data to a mobile terminal to update the screen. | 02-23-2012 |
20140298164 | ELECTRONIC BOOK PRODUCTION APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC BOOK SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC BOOK PRODUCTION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - An electronic book production apparatus includes; an image obtaining unit; a character area detecting unit; a character recognizing unit; a character position information obtaining unit; a reading-order determining unit which determines a reading order among the character areas in the page image based on positions of the character areas in the page image and continuity from a character to another character between the character areas in the page image; an electronic book data generating unit which generates electronic book data including character information indicating the recognized characters, the character position information indicating the position of each of the recognized characters in the page image, and order information about the characters or the character areas corresponding to the reading order among the character areas in the page image; and an electronic book data output unit which outputs the electronic book data generated by the electronic book data generating unit. | 10-02-2014 |

20080201322 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR RETRIEVAL OF CONTENTS - A keyword determining section determines a keyword among a search query input by a user. A related word searching section searches a thesaurus database and retrieves words related to the determined keyword and information on relevancy of each related word to the keyword. Based on the keyword and its related words, an image searching section retrieves images from an image database. The search result by the image searching section is displayed on a monitor in a manner to reflect mutual relations between the retrieved images, such that images corresponding to the keyword are displayed in a center section, whereas images corresponding to broader or super-ordinate words to the keyword are arranged in an upper section, and images corresponding to narrower or subordinate words to the keyword are arranged in a lower section. Other images hit with synonyms and other related words to the keyword are arranged in side sections. | 08-21-2008 |
20080316229 | CONTENT DISPLAY METHOD, CONTENT DISPLAY PROGRAM AND CONTENT DISPLAY DEVICE - An area dividing section divides a display area into two areas having random dimensions. One of the divided display areas is further divided into two with random dimensions. This division is continued until the number of divided display areas reaches the number of content information to be displayed. | 12-25-2008 |
20090024591 | DEVICE, METHOD AND PROGRAM FOR PRODUCING RELATED WORDS DICTIONARY, AND CONTENT SEARCH DEVICE - Image data from a client terminal is sent to a server along with its tags. In the server, hop number between the input tags or between the input tag and an accumulated tag that is added to image data accumulated in an image database is counted. Moreover, appearance frequency of the input tag is counted. Furthermore, entry sequence of the input tag is counted. When the hop number, appearance frequency and entry sequence are counted, evaluation values corresponding to the counted values and a reference value are integrated to calculate a score. The score is registered in the image database along with the combination of the tags. | 01-22-2009 |
