Visualized system for hyper media

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minutely observe a specified node by arranging nodes being information units on a two-dimensional plane, linking them, raising the two-dimensional plane and developing it on a three-dimensional space. SOLUTION: The nodes being the information units are arranged on the two-dimensional plane and they are linked. The specified node in the nodes on the two-dimensional lane are raised and it is set to be a three-dimensional model. When a fermented soybeans view node-link connection 1 is started, for example, the default values of the user are selected as noticed nodes 3 and 4. When the noticed nodes 3 and 4 are raised, nodes 5-8 connected to them are raised. FIFO for controlling the view 1 from an external program is opened. The view 1 requests the acquirement of link information near the noticed nodes to a mapped system server link manager. Link information is analyzed and 'fermented soybeans view' is displayed based on a response from the link manager.

Transaction support method

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform efficient processing using a plurality of slips, when a plurality of transactions through ATM or the like is collectively performed, and confirm the validity of each transaction particularly even if a plurality of slips is mixed. SOLUTION: In the method for recognizing the type of each slip input to a transaction terminal and performing each validity check according to the recognition result, a warning is output according to the result. The method also includes performing control so as to accept an answer to the warning from a terminal (transaction terminal) operated by a transaction applicant even if operation is performed by an agent's terminal (bank staff terminal). Further, after each validity check according to the recognition result, comparison with past transaction patterns is performed, and a warning is output according to the result. In this case, also, the control may be performed to receive an answer to the warning from the terminal of the transaction applicant. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

System for supporting cooperative learning

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To manage the learner's right of access to learning resource and to efficiently monitor the state of learning. SOLUTION: In the system for supporting cooperative learning, a plan of learning and conditions of monitoring learning are described in advance based on activity model data that can express the relation between a role and an action to the learning resource and learning process definition data for managing the level of learning. A cooperative learning server, when it receives a request from a learner client for the operation of the learning resource, specifies the present level of learning and the role of the learner by an access management means and judges whether or not the operation of the learning resource is permissible.

Exercise assistance system and exercise assistance method

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem in which it is difficult for a teacher to give hints and explanations beforehand for all problems although high educational effects are obtained by implementing many problems in an education method like case study. SOLUTION: In an exercise wherein a plurality of learners try to solve one problem, a place in the problem to which a fixed number of learners give annotations is detected and the place is shown as a hint to learners who do not give annotations to the place. A place to which only a small number of learners give annotations is detected and judged as a place which learners less understand or a place which is misunderstood, and the place is presented to the teacher.

Business analysis design support device, business analysis design support method, and business analysis design support program

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a business analysis design support device which efficiently maintains the compatibility between deliverables in business analysis design.SOLUTION: A computer 100 executes processing of: searching the connection of a predetermined word phrase defined in each business use case description between the business use case descriptions so as to specify the relation between the business use cases and correlate between the business use cases, and generating a business use case flow corresponding to the correlation; specifying an upper-rank business function of the business use cases each included in the business use case flow on the basis of the information of a business function hierarchy and specifying the connection of the business use cases across different business functions in the business use case flow so as to generate a business flow based on the correlation between the business functions corresponding to the connection; and displaying the generated business use case flow or the business flow on a display unit 204.

Graphical user interface for an information mediation system

Abstract: A graphical user interface for an information mediation system is provided for assisting the user to discover an information source that matches a sense of value of the user which normally can not be explicitly expressed in language, from a plurality of information sources such as bulletin board sites. The information mediation apparatus collects information from the plurality of information sources, analyzes the information, and generates one or more guideposts corresponding to information values thereof and data indicating a correlation between the plurality of information sources relative to the guideposts. A client apparatus receives one or more guideposts and a set of data containing information indicating the correlation of the information sources relative to the guidepost from the information mediation apparatus, and displays the correlation between these information sources in such a mode that the user can easily understand.

Blended learning experience tool and method

Abstract: A blended learning solution is defined by determining degrees of elements in learning zones. The zones are defined by the types of interactions of the learners. Both formal and informal learning is defined for each zone. A specialized circular display is constructed to depict the optimal blended learning solution.

Association presence/absence display device, association presence/absence display method and program for implementing the method on computer

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display presence/absence of association of an element (a thing, a person, a concept or the like) with an element explicitly for an operator. SOLUTION: In a round table view, a center circle or the center of the round table is the origin, from which a plurality of axes (eight ones at 45° intervals in this example) extend radially. Outside the point of intersection of each axis and the circle, an icon representative of a theme assigned to each axis is arranged so as to form an enclosure about the edge of the round table. On the round table, icons representative of documents are arranged in positions determined by the degree of association of each document with each theme and by the attraction of each theme. When the circle encircling, for example, 'global warming' is dragged to strength the attraction, only the icons of the documents B to D associated (a nonzero degree of association) with the theme out of the documents on the round table are moved on the round table in an arc where they are gradually attracted to the icon of the theme.

Categorizing apparatus and categorizing method

Abstract: A categorizing apparatus according to the present invention includes: a selected object position determining unit which determines a first position of an object selected by a user in a first region; an identifying unit which identifies one or more objects which are related to the selected object; a parameter assigning unit which assigns a parameter to each of the related objects according to a degree of relatedness between each of the related objects and the selected object, the parameter contributing to a predetermined relationship which defines tracking property of the related object to the selected object when the selected object is moved from the first position. Hence the categorizing apparatus allows the user to intuitively categorize content items through his or her operation, so that the content items are categorized as the user desires.

On demand learning

Abstract: Learning activities in an organization are allocated for work apart, work embedded, and work enabled learning types. In work apart learning, employees leave the work itself and learn through traditional classroom or technology enhanced methods. Work embedded learning occurs on the job without interrupting the flow of work. Work embedded learning uses the power of experience and execution with small responsive training modules embedded in the work process. Work enabled learning provides knowledge transfer and comprehension through experiences and interactions within the context of the work place. A business process permits an organization to rework existing learning programs and allocate resources for new programs to optimally address employee learning needs.
