Abstract: An information processing system includes a user terminal, a database server, and a web server. The web server is configured to receive from the user terminal, in accordance with an electronic image of a retail environment, positional location data of a designated area within the retail environment. The web server is configured to transmit to the database server a request for positional location movement data for devices associated with customers who purchased merchandise stored with the designated area corresponding to the positional location, and receive the positional location movement data. The web server is configured to generate, based on the positional location movement data, drawing data for drawing marks that indicate moving routes within the retail environment of the customers who purchased merchandise stored with the designated area, and transmit the drawing data to the user terminal to cause the drawing marks to be displayed on the user terminal.

Abstract: A process includes selecting a node associated with an extracted node and a node associated with the node accepted by an acceptance unit accepting a node from nodes included in a node link obtained from text relating to a specific matter, accepting a first item in which a registered content of an analysis target is registered, from items in a table relating to the specific matter, accepting the registered content of the analysis target, a second item for use in calculating degrees of association between registered contents in the first item in the table and nodes; calculating the degrees of association between each of the registered content in the first item in the table and the nodes selected, according to a registered content in the second item in the table; and extracting a node associated with the analysis target from the selected nodes, according to the calculated degrees of association.

Abstract: A data classification processing apparatus assumes that data stored in a database is extracted based on a user instruction. The data classification processing apparatus comprises an information managing unit storing a management point that defines the classification method of the data stored in the database without making the classification method dependent on a particular data item, and an inquiring unit searching the database based on the classification method of the data, which is defined in the management point stored in the information managing unit, in response to a data inquiry from the user.
