Abstract: A proxy server for limiting Internet connection speed of visitors that pose a threat. The proxy server receives from a client device a request to perform an action on an identified resource that is hosted at an origin server for a domain. The proxy server analyzes the request to determine whether a visitor belonging to the request poses a threat. If the proxy server determines that the visitor poses a threat, the proxy server reduces the speed at which the proxy server processes the request while keeping a connection to the client device open.

Abstract: When retrieving information relating to another user of a different SNS, the CVR of an SNS can be effectively increased by displaying a social graph. According to the invention, by means of a social graph display program (API), user identifying information corresponding to user-to-user relationship information meeting predetermined conditions can be extracted by searching a database of information related to the other users of application programs A-C, in accordance with identifying information of a user A who has made a friend request. Thus the application program A displays, as candidates for the friend request, users corresponding to user identifying information returned from the social graph display program (API).
