The original server software created by calling the AppleTalk Manager with CTB can transfer judges' scores to the server with safe operations of about two actions, using the Newton MessagePad (English version), which happened to be released in Japan at that time. The key point is that the understanding of this idea was gained from the stakeholders of JPSA. A LocalTalk cable system connects five Newtons and one Macintosh PowerBook 520. In the connection process between the Newton's EndPoint and the Macintosh's CTB, there are very critical system requirements, including communication buffer overflow, disconnect processing during cable failures, and reconnection, as well as interface considerations.

A profile diagnosis report for managers was provided to companies. The profile diagnosis report offers prescriptions for discovering management styles, analyzing behavioral systems, and improving management skills. The diagnosis results are divided into over 100 patterns based on combinations of answers to multiple questions. To automatically generate the PDF, the following functions were necessary: - Set values for various fields such as name, date, and numerical data. - Generate pie chart images according to the diagnosis results and place them on the PDF. - Combine various template PDF pages according to the diagnosis patterns. This was achieved using the JavaScript functionality of "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro." Additionally, the pie chart images were generated by a dedicated standalone application. In the web system, the PDF of the diagnosis report was generated using the following steps: - Generate the pie chart image. ⇒ Generate the script for Acrobat's JavaScript. ⇒ After launching "Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro" from AppleScript, execute the JavaScript to automatically generate the PDF.

We received a request to "develop an app that allows for easy design and parts aggregation of the residential storage space 'SS System (Shuno 19/32)'." In response to this request, we addressed the following issues during app development: - The introduction of CAD applications has high barriers such as implementation and distribution costs. Instead of using third-party CAD, we developed and integrated our own CAD, "JDFramework." - There are many combinations of products. - The extraction of parts is complex. - We wanted to make it usable even for those who are not interior design experts. By entering minimum values such as width, depth, and height, and clicking on image buttons, users can generate a completed three-view drawing and extract parts. - We wanted to include wood cutting (board cutting). We developed and integrated "kidori," which can aggregate the number of boards before order cutting. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

Have you ever missed a valuable phone opportunity because you were briefly away from your seat when the call came in? Also, if you had prior knowledge of the caller's number, name, and what you had discussed in the past before picking up the receiver, you could calmly answer the phone after preparing a conversation scenario, right? Even if a different staff member handled the customer, understanding the background allows for more tailored responses. Furthermore, if you could display a list of all the calls you’ve received, along with the date, time, and notes, you could grasp past interactions and strategize for future sales. The "Denwaban DB" solves these concerns. Main features: ■ Operates on Mac or Windows ■ Records the caller's phone number and the date and time of the call when there is an incoming call ■ Emails the call details to a specified address. If you designate a smartphone, you can also call back while on the go ■ Allows you to take notes for each call.
