A patent map, a visual representation of related patent information, is an effective strategic tool for analysis of patent application trends. In particular, an effect-technology type patent map is commonly used as patent examinations are based on technology and effect terms of the inventions. However, conventional patent mining tools are not realized to make an effect-technology type patent map....
A patent map, a visual representation of related patent information, is an effective strategic tool for analysis of patent application trends. In particular, an effect-technology type patent map is commonly used because patent examinations are based on technology and effect terms of the inventions. However, the patent map creation is a costly task, because most of patent maps are manually created...
Face-to-face conversation is important for communication within a family. We focused on a serial record of individual ambient temperature for initiation of conversation. The ambient temperature data are recorded automatically as a time-series during the user's activity. We developed and evaluated the family communication support tool using time-series visualization of individual ambient temperature...
In recent years, user interface for touch input on mobile devices with touch panels has spread. In general, each target on a touch panel is designed to be finger size or larger to avoid selection mistake, however, such design slows down complex tasks. This paper presents a finger identification method for touch panel operations. When a user taps with a finger on the touch panel, the detected coordinates...
We propose a new solution for the flexible widget layout (FWL) problem, formulating this problem as a fuzzy constraint satisfaction problem (FCSP) in the field of artificial intelligence. Widget layout performed by computers is one of the most important challenges for automatic generation of graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In the field of model-based user interface design, the widget layout is more...
