Abstract:
When a start key is operated, an inferring process of estimating a demand of a user is executed on the basis of preset situation data, a user profile, and situation data manually input via a situation setting key. Based on the inference result, a genre list and a contents list are reconstructed so that genres and contents items are arranged in order of the degree of a demand of the user. The top three genres extracted from the reconstructed genre list are associated with three selection keys, and the names of the associated genres or labels of the genres are displayed in genre name display parts. It enables the user to easily and instantaneously select one of contents items to be processed.

Abstract:
A user information inferring system defines user information according to five categories, that is, user environment, circumstance, condition, request, and action, and further defines a sixth category, that is, situation data encompassing these other five categories. User information in each of the defined categories, that is, environment, circumstance, condition, request, action, and situation, is then described using item values, and operating units infer the item values. The inference operation uses temporal-spatial characteristics indicative of the effect of temporal-spatial elements on the item values, information about inferred situations, a rule database containing rules describing the relationships between items, and an optimization process for the defined categories using vector expressions.
Abstract:
A control information output apparatus has a memory unit, an extraction unit and an output unit. The memory unit stores a dependence relationship between each application and a predetermined dependency factor. The memory unit also stores dependency table indicating dependence on the dependence factor of each application. Using the dependency factor value determined with data extracted by the extracting unit, an application list indicating the application having a higher execution request, dependency factor list indicating effective dependency factor and control information comprising a dependence vector and dependence characteristic are outputted from the output unit based on the dependency table and dependence characteristic information of the memory unit.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a process of producing an N-alkylacetamide of the general formula (III): ##STR1## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2 and X.sup.3 are the same or different and are independently hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, lower alkenyl, halogen or trifluoromethyl; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and are independently lower alkyl; and represents a chemical bond of E- or Z-configuration, or a mixture of these configurations, which includes the steps of:(a) reacting an acetonitrile of the general formula (I): ##STR2## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, R.sup.1 and are each as defined above, with an alkylamine of the general formula (IV):R.sup.2 --NH.sub.2 (IV)wherein R.sup.2 is as defined above, to give an N-alkylacetamidine of the general formula (II): ##STR3## wherein X.sup.1, X.sup.2, X.sup.3, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and are each as defined above; and(b) reacting the N-alkylacetamidine (II) with a nitrite derivative in the presence of an acid.
Abstract:
A variable length code decoding circuit is provided for detecting a variable length code from a code string which is sequentially and serially inputted, and outputting a signal value of the detected variable length code. The circuit includes a memory for storing state variables which have fixed length and a state controller for controlling the state variables corresponding to the inputted information and the stored state variable which represents former inputted information, and for outputting the decoded variable length code when the state variable indicates the completion of decoding of the variable length code. Because the circuit handles state variable which have a fixed length code instead of the variable length code during the judging procedure, complicated calculation is prevented and memory reduction is realized.
Abstract:
An estimation apparatus of an object appearance frequency is provided. The apparatus estimates an appearance frequency of objects, such as pedestrians, in a predetermined estimation area. The apparatus calculates a matrix FPFP by searching an appearance frequency data in the past. In detail, an estimated result that is an output of an estimating module is expressed as a vector. Objects to be estimated are classified into a total of 12 kinds, such as a “man, woman, child, bike, unknown, dog” and a “right, left”. Feature vector of appearance frequency of pedestrians, i.e., objective variables of estimation, is expressed by 12th dimension vector space. Moreover, status information is used as explaining variables, which explain the feature vectors when a feature vector occurs. The regression relationship of the feature vector with respect to the status information vector expressed in 28th dimension is solved by the linear least squares method.
Abstract:
A communication system includes a GUI apparatus that performs screen construction based on an event notification, and a service apparatus that executes a service and generates an event, the GUI apparatus and the service apparatus being connected with each other through a network to perform mutual communication. The GUI apparatus includes: a GUI apparatus-side event list memory that stores an event list and an ID corresponding to the event list, the event list being a list of the event; and a GUI apparatus-side event processor that refers to the GUI apparatus-side event list memory and, in a case where the event list required for performing the screen construction exists, obtains the ID corresponding to the event list to transmit the obtained ID to the service apparatus in place of the event list.
