  • Publication number: 20240346005
    Abstract: A server receives target sample data sent from the user equipment, and searches sample data in a database using the target sample data as a search query to identify the sample data whose similarity measure to the target sample data is equal to or greater than a threshold. The server identifies a three-dimensional structure model associated with the identified sample data, and outputs the identified three-dimensional structure model as a three-dimensional structure model corresponding to the target sample data.

  • Patent number: 11841907
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an information processing system and an information processing method that, in a material analyzing service that is provided via a network, can appropriately manage data of a high degree of confidentiality. The system and method involve a user terminal that provides a data ID to a combination of first data that relates to a material, and second data that is data obtained by measuring the material and is data whose degree of confidentiality is lower than the first data. The user terminal stores the first data and data ID and transmits the second data and data ID to an information processing device. The information processing device carries out material analysis corresponding to the second data and transmits analysis results data to the user terminal. Accordingly, data having a high degree of confidentiality can be managed appropriately in a material analyzing service over a network.
