INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546778 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an information processing device that analyzes software code in an intermediate state. It acquires difference information between two versions of the code and then performs code analysis on the updated version.

  • Acquires difference information between two versions of software code.
  • Reproduces the code from the older version using the difference information.
  • Analyzes the reproduced code to provide feedback to the developer.

Key Features and Innovation

  • Difference information acquisition section acquires variance between code versions.
  • Code analysis section reproduces and analyzes code based on the acquired difference information.
  • Provides feedback to developers based on the analysis results.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in software development environments to analyze changes in code between different versions, aiding developers in understanding the impact of modifications.

Problems Solved

This technology helps developers identify and analyze differences in code versions, allowing for more efficient debugging and development processes.

Benefits

  • Improved understanding of code changes.
  • Enhanced debugging processes.
  • Efficient development workflow.

Commercial Applications

  • Software development tools for version control and code analysis.
  • Quality assurance tools for software companies.
  • Consulting services for code optimization and improvement.

Prior Art

Questions about Code Analysis Technology

Question 1

How does the information processing device acquire difference information between code versions?

The device acquires difference information by comparing the code stored in two different repositories and identifying the variances between them.

Question 2

What is the main benefit of using this technology in software development?

The main benefit is the ability to analyze code changes and provide valuable feedback to developers, leading to more efficient development processes.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is an information processing device that performs processing regarding a code analysis of software that is in an intermediate state. The information processing device includes a difference information acquisition section and a code analysis section. The difference information acquisition section acquires difference information regarding the difference between a code stored in a first repository and a code stored in a second repository in correspondence with the code stored in the first repository. The code analysis section reproduces the code stored in the first repository from the code stored in the second repository, in reference to the difference information, and performs code analysis on the reproduced code. The information processing device reports the result of analysis by the code analysis section to the developer of the reproduced code.
