  • Patent number: 11030206
    Abstract: A memory stores a query template that describes a look-up condition for searching a database, by using a parameter to which identification information of a reference entity is assigned, and a reference point condition indicating a condition of an entity usable as the reference entity. A processor accepts designation of a first entity among a plurality of entities, detects a second entity that is reachable from the first entity via one or more links and satisfies the reference point condition, from among the plurality of entities, when the first entity does not satisfy the reference point condition, generates a query based on the detection result of the second entity and the query template, and retrieves data to be used in display processing from the database by using the query.

  • Patent number: 10401185
    Abstract: An apparatus acquires a first piece of trajectory information from among plural pieces of trajectory information, and acquires a first planar graph from among one or more planar graphs. The apparatus generates a second planar graph, based on the first planar graph and plural pieces of position information included in the first piece of trajectory information, and extracts, from among the plural pieces of trajectory information, second pieces of trajectory information indicating trajectories passing a difference portion between the first and second planar graphs. For each of candidate graphs each obtained by excluding a reduction set of edges from the second planar graph, the apparatus calculates optimality of the each candidate graph with which an addition set of trajectories indicated by the first and second pieces of trajectory information are associated, and outputs one of the candidate graphs determined based on the calculated optimality.
