Abstract: In a stream data processing method in which part of stream data is defined as a processing target and the time control information which indicates the advance of the time is inserted into the stream data, time information of the received stream data is stored in a next ignition time holding area as an ignition time. A processing module for generating the time control information at a time different from the time of reception of the stream data is extracted out of a query that indicates how the stream data is to be processed. Based on the extracted processing module and the time information indicating the time of the reception of the stream data, the ignition time is calculated and stored in the next ignition time holding area. The time generation module inserts the time control information at the ignition time held in the next ignition time holding area.

Abstract: A stream data processing system restrains the generation of communication traffic in the case of distributing loads by using a plurality of information processing devices. The global query is divided into a plurality of processes. At every divided process, a local query which includes the corresponding process is generated and each local query is set to a query processing device different from each other. In addition, the stream data is transmitted among a plurality of query processing devices in order so as to execute the local query in each query processing device. At this time, the entire stream data does not transmitted among the query processing devices in order. At least a part of the corresponding stream data is stored in a proxy device. When data received from an information processing device located in immediately before does not include the target data of the local query, the query processing device reads the corresponding data from the proxy device and executes the local query.

Abstract: Voice of plural participants during a meeting is obtained and dialogue situations of the participants that change every second are displayed in real time, so that it is possible to provide a meeting visualization system for triggering more positive discussions. Voice data collected from plural voice collecting units associated with plural participants is processed by a voice processing server to extract speech information. The speech information is sequentially input to an aggregation server. A query process is performed for the speech information by a stream data processing unit of the aggregation server, so that activity data such as the accumulation value of speeches of the participants in the meeting is generated. A display processing unit visualizes and displays dialogue situations of the participants by using the sizes of circles and the thicknesses of lines on the basis of the activity data.
