| 20090268135 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY - A liquid crystal display is furnished with: a liquid crystal display element having a pair of substrates, to which alignment members are provided to their respective opposing surfaces, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched by the pair of substrates; an alignment mechanism for providing at least two different director configurations simultaneously on different arbitrary regions used for display in the liquid crystal layer; and a reflection film provided to at least one of the different arbitrary regions showing different director configurations; wherein the different arbitrary regions showing different director configurations are used for a reflection display section for showing reflection display and a transmission display section for showing transmission display, respectively. Examples of the alignment mechanism include an alignment film to which the alignment treatment is applied in different orientations in the reflection display section and transmission display section, respectively, an insulation film having different film thicknesses in the reflection display section and transmission display section, and so forth. | 10-29-2009 |

| 20080319746 | KEYWORD OUTPUTTING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A keyword analysis device obtains word vectors represented by the documents by analyzing keywords contained in each of documents input in a designated period. A topic cluster extraction device extracts topic clusters belonging to the same topic from a plurality of documents. A keyword extraction device extracts, as a characteristic keyword group, a predetermined number of keywords from the topic cluster in descending order of appearance frequency. A topic structurization determination device determines whether the topic can be structurized, by segmenting the topic cluster into subtopic clusters with reference to the number of documents, the variance of dates contained in the documents, or the C-value of keyword contained in the documents, as a determination criterion. And a keyword presentation device presents the characteristic keyword group in the subtopic cluster upon arranging the keyword group on the basis of the date information. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090248678 | INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION DEVICE AND INFORMATION RECOMMENDATION METHOD - A document set, and history documents including documents, etc., browsed by a user are input. The document set and the history documents are each analyzed to obtain characteristic vectors. A plurality of topic clusters and a plurality of sub-topic clusters are obtained by clustering the document set. A transition structure showing transitions of topics among the sub-topic clusters is generated, and a characteristic attribute is extracted from each topic cluster and each sub-topic cluster. An cluster-of-interest is extracted in comparison among characteristic vectors of the history documents and a characteristic vector of each document included in the document set, a sub-topic cluster having transition relations with the cluster-of-interest is obtained on the basis of a transition structure owned by the cluster-of-interest, and a document included in the sub-topic cluster is extracted as a recommended document to be presented together with the characteristic attribute. | 10-01-2009 |
| 20100250553 | Data display apparatus, method ,and program - A display apparatus includes: a first memory to store a plurality of contents and pieces of content information including a plurality of elements; an element selector to select at least part of the plural elements correspond to a first content; a determine unit to determine whether or not the selected element matches the plural elements correspond to the contents; a generator to generate corresponding information for each of the contents based on a result of the determination; a second memory to store pieces of the corresponding information; a content selector to select a second content; a calculator to calculate degrees of association to the second content; a deciding unit to decide a arrangement positions of the plural contents except the second content according to the degrees of association calculated by the calculator; and a display unit to display the contents at the arrangement positions decided by the deciding unit. | 09-30-2010 |

| 20080243494 | DIALOG DETECTING APPARATUS, DIALOG DETECTING METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A speech receiving unit receives a user ID, a speech obtained at a terminal, and an utterance duration, from the terminal. A proximity determining unit calculates a correlation value expressing a correlation between speeches received from plural terminals, compares the correlation value with a first threshold value, and determines that the plural terminals that receive the speeches whose correlation value is calculated are close to each other, when the correlation value is larger than the first threshold value. A dialog detecting unit determines whether a relationship between the utterance durations received from the plural terminals that are determined to be close to each other within an arbitrarily target period during which a dialog is to be detected fits a rule. When the relationship is determined to fit the rule, the dialog detecting unit detects dialog information containing the target period and the user ID. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080244056 | METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PRODUCT FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATION SITUATION - An action acquiring unit acquires action information corresponding to operation information from a first storage unit for a first user, and stores acquired action information in a third storage unit. A receiving unit receives, via a network, action information of a second user from an external device. A situation acquiring unit acquires, from a second storage, a communication situation corresponding to received action information. A writing unit writes the action information of the first user indicated by the communication situation to the third storage unit, additionally. | 10-02-2008 |
