Abstract:
A server system (195) is connected to a plurality of kiosks (100) by a network (150), e.g., the Internet, corporate or government intranets, extranets, etc. A kiosk has one or more predetermined input/output devices (130) (e.g. displays, keyboards, paper printers, telephones, etc.) and one or more driver programs (110) (local APIs) for each of the input/output devices (130). The displays (103) are used to present one or more graphical user interfaces (105) and video images to a user of the kiosk (100). The kiosk (100) has a browser (160) which it uses to obtain material from the server (195). The server (195) has one or more application files (175) or configuration sets that it serves to the kiosks (100). The configuration sets are application specific (an application is a use for which the kiosks are configured or reconfigured). One or more of the files in the configuration sets include one or more embedded control programs that are used to control the local APIs for the devices on the kiosk. In this way, the devices are controlled to configure the kiosk to perform the application.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow plural users of an internet to simultaneously operate the cooperative work (reading, moving, and changing) of an HTML page by allowing a browser used on an internet to simultaneously control the other browsers used on the internet. SOLUTION: A web shared manager 160 of a receiving side shared client 150B receives a duplicated event (for example, browser request) and message for allowing the receiving side shared client 150B to execute a duplicated event/ message for allowing the browsers of a shared client computer system between a source and a receiving side to process the same event/message from a web shared manager 160 of a source shared client 150A. Thus, an event/message including control and an address is shared between the both clients 150A and 150B. That is, the display and control of the same web page can be simultaneously operated on all the shared clients.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve reliability of internet-media transmission via a packet exchange network and to reduce delay of transmission and loss of packets by generating a redundant packet of a memory at a random state and including a process to make the redundant packet possible to be communicated with plural destinations via separate paths and networks in a computer. SOLUTION: One or plural processes capable of generating the redundant packet of the memory at the random state and to make the redundant packet possible to be communicated with one or plural destinations via plural separate paths and networks are included in the computer. Communication between computers 260S and 260D is generated by transmitting plural packets of message information via plural paths and networks 130 in a system 200. The communication is performed by duplicating one or plural packets 120 and transmitting a replica 120R via various paths 275A, 275B.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a kiosk system connected with a computer network and a method for constituting the kiosk system. SOLUTION: A server system 195 is connected with a plurality of kiosks 100 via a network 150, for example, the Internet, an intranet of a company or a government and an extra net. The kiosk has one or a plurality of input/output devices 130 ( for example, a display, a keyboard, a paper printer and a telephone set) and one or a plurality of driver programs 440 (local API) for each input/output device. A kiosk 160 has a browser 160 to be used in order that the kiosk obtains raw materials from a server. One or a plurality of files of files in a structure set include one or a plurality of integration control programs 620 and control the local API for systems on the kiosk by using the programs. Thus, the systems are controlled and constituted so that the kiosk executes their applications. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for identifying a valid symbol or a string of valid symbols from a sequence of handwritten strokes. A method includes the steps of (a) generating in response to one or more handwritten strokes a plurality of stroke labels each having an associated score; (b) processing the plurality of stroke labels in accordance with a beam search-like technique to identify those stroke labels indicative of a valid symbol or portion of a valid symbol; and (c) associating together identified stroke labels to determine an identity of a valid symbol or a string of valid symbols therefrom. An aspect of the invention is that each of the constraint validation filters is switchably coupled into a serial filter chain. The switches function to either couple a filter input to a stroke label or decouple the input and provide a path around the filter block. An application writer has available a plurality of constraint filters. The application writer specifies which one or ones of the constraint filters are to be applied for a specific sequence of strokes.
