Abstract: A search string including a location name is received from a client terminal, the search string is broken down, related data of each broken down (BD) information is acquired from a website, each BD information and its related data are stored in a storage unit in association with each other. For each BD information, it is determined whether a record of the related data includes a plurality of pieces of latitude/longitude information. A mesh display flag or a pin display flag is set to the BD information in the storage unit based on a result of the determination. Polygon display processing, mesh display processing, or pin display processing on a map is executed on the related data of the BD information based on a value of the mesh display flag and a value of the pin display flag, and a result of the processing is transmitted to the client terminal.

Abstract: According to a data processing method, pieces of data from files having dissimilar file structures and different formats can be combined appropriately for processing, and even a user with little knowledge can easily combine and process data. The method comprising: receiving, from a user terminal, designation of a first file and a second file, and a request to execute data processing that is related to a particular function; obtaining the first file and the second file from a memory unit; analyzing structures of the first file and the second file; combining, when there is a first element set in the first file as many elements as in a second element set the second file has, the elements of the first element set with the elements of the second element set to execute the data processing; and transmitting a result of executing the data processing to the user terminal.
