A task scheduling apparatus of a distributed processing system having a plurality of processing units for processing a plurality of distributed tasks is provided. As a first task scheduling method, the task scheduling apparatus allocates a task to a processing unit having the lowest temperature. As a second task scheduling method, the task scheduling apparatus selects a task based on both temperature of each processing unit and characteristic values of tasks related to degree of temperature rise or consumption power increase caused by execution, and allocates the selected task to the object processing unit. For example, as the second task scheduling method, a task producing a large degree of temperature rise (for example, a task having a number of instructions to be processed per unit time) is allocated to a processing unit having a low temperature. With such a scheduling method, uniform temperature of each processing unit can be obtained.

As a solution to the problem of distributed knowledge of data object definitions, data object definitions are removed from the source code. A Meta Data Service is created and made available on a network which knows the definitions of all of the objects that are used by applications that are designed to use the Meta Data Service. When an object is created, the Meta Data Service creates and stores a meta definition for the object. Data objects are passed over a network in a “soft” format. Applications within a distributed data processing system are designed in such a manner such that, at any stage of object processing, an application does not assume to understand the definition or structure of an object, nor is an application hard-coded with the object definitions. At each stage, an application queries the Meta Data Service for the meta definition of the object before proceeding with the processing of an object. The application then receives a meta definition for the data object that allows the application to perform properly tailored processing for the data object.

A software system is provided including an Object Process Graph for defining applications and a Dynamic Graph Interpreter that interprets Object Process Graphs. An Object Process Graph defines all of an application's manipulations and processing steps and all of the application's data. An Object Process Graph is dynamic, making it possible to change any aspect of an application's data entry, processing or information display at any time. When an Object Process Graph is interpreted, it functions to accept data, process the data and produce information output. Modifications made to an Object Process Graph while it is being interpreted take affect immediately and can be saved. Object Process Graphs and Dynamic Graph Interpreters can be deployed on single user workstation computers or on distributed processing environments where central servers store Object Process Graphs and run Dynamic Graph Interpreters, and workstation computers access the servers via the intranet or local intranets.

Systems and methods for electronic simulation of events via computer-based gaming technologies are provided. Data relating to an event such as a sports games is received containing event object information. Events objects can be, for example, players on a field or objects relating to the event environment. A game object processing module correlates the event objects to game event objects. A video game console performs a game simulation using the game event objects, by applying the event data to the event objects, and then displaying the game simulation on the game console. The result is a simulation of the event via the game console.

In a control network system of household electric appliances, particularly, an each introduction of a household electric appliance thereto does not cause a change in the means of acquiring operation data by a controller, and the electric power consumption of a controller is made less.

A home network system is simplified and made efficient.

As a means for the above, an accessible device in a common manner to household electric appliances is incorporated into a controller by object processing using communications middlewares, and a device for linked operations is incorporated into household electric appliances. Then, it is noted that each household electric appliance needs a specific kind of another appliance and operation data thereof.

The Java object includes an assigned destination address. The method further includes forwarding the Java object to the assigned destination address.

Apparatus and methods are provided for object recognition and compression. The apparatus (114) comprises an object processor (402) configured to receive the image (120) and synthesize a contour (404) of an object within the image (120) and a classification engine (406) configured to receive the contour (404) of the image (120) and recognize the object within the image as a member of a first object class if the object substantially meets first object criteria of the first object class that is at least partially related to the target-specific utility of the image. The apparatus (114) also comprises a multi-rate encoder (116) configured to compress a first region of the image (120) having said object recognized as said member of said first object class at a first coding rate, said first coding rate providing a first coding resolution of said first region that is greater than a second coding resolution provided by a second coding rate for the image.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to acquiring information from the worldwide web, organizing information acquired from the worldwide web, and using the acquired and organized information to facilitate web-page searching, web-page browsing, and other worldwide-web-based activities. In one embodiment of the present invention, a database of concept objects is created from an initial set of semantic objects and from hyperlink information obtained from web pages by one or more web crawlers. The initial set of semantic objects is processed using hyperlink based objects created by the web crawler. The processed semantic objects are then associated with additional hyperlink-based objects to create a concept-object database. In certain embodiments of the present invention, the concept-object database can be further refined and supplemented in an automated fashion by additional web crawling, subsequent association of hyperlink-based objects with concept objects, and creation of new concept objects as well as by user input to, and editing of, the concept-object database. The concept-object database may be employed, in various embodiments of the present invention, to facilitate web browsing, web-page searching, and other worldwide-web-base activities.

The apparatus includes a combination of various units, including but not limited to, a display panel, a sensing unit and control unit to effectuate interaction between a user and a 3D object sourced from the apparatus.

There is disclosed an information managing method in which a plurality of information files are set as managing objects, the method includes (a) acquiring one or two classification standards which are standards to classify the information files, (b) selecting one of classification units of each of the acquired classification standards, (c) classifying the information files objects for each of the acquired classification standards and the selected one of the classification units, (d) producing a file object which represents each classified information file, (e) disposing and displaying the file object produced for each classification unit in another one-dimensional direction on a display screen, in a case where one classification standard is acquired, and (f) disposing and displaying the produced file object of the information file in each of two-dimensionally divided regions in a case where two classification standards are acquired.

An information processing apparatus inputs a coordinate value of a position designated on a screen which displays one or a plurality of objects, compares an input locus expressed by the input coordinate value string with a second locus, which is defined in advance as a locus used to give the instruction to execute a process for an object, and determines whether the input locus is a first locus or the second locus. When it is determined that the input locus is the first locus, the apparatus selects an object from the one or plurality of objects based on the display positions of the input locus and the object on the screen. When it is determined that the input locus is the second locus, the apparatus executes a process designated by the input locus with respect to the selected object.
