Abstract: When a key of a first record in a first table is entered in a trie tree in which keys of a plurality of records in a second table are entered, a computer generates a third record by using the first record and a second record in the second table. The second record includes the key of the first record. A link to a leaf corresponding to the second record is deleted from an array which stores links to a plurality of leaves of the trie tree corresponding to the records.

Abstract: Whether a breath sound is contained in a current frame is determined by using a characteristic that a breath sound is small in autocorrelation and large in cross-correlation. Specifically, a harmonic-wave-structure estimating unit finds autocorrelation on the basis of a frequency spectrum of the current frame. A cross-correlation estimating unit finds cross-correlation between the frequency spectrum of the current frame and a frequency spectrum of a previous frame containing a breath sound. A breath detecting unit compares a value of a constant multiple of a value of the autocorrelation with a value of the cross-correlation, and, when the value of the cross-correlation is larger, determines that a breath sound is contained in the current frame.

Abstract: In a data processing method, a storage apparatus stores one or more results of a second process, corresponding to input data sets processed in the past. When a first input data set is designated, a search unit searches the storage apparatus for a result of the second process, corresponding to a second input data set having an overlapping part with the first input data set. A data processing unit acquires a result of the first process, corresponding to differential input data that is included in the second input data set but not included in the first input data set, and generates a result of the second process, corresponding to the first input data set, by removing the effect of the differential input data from the result of the second process found as a result of the search, using the acquired result of the first process.
