Abstract: A data management device is communicably connected to a first database and a second database in a different structure from the first database. The second database is converted to the structure of the first database, and is stored as a conversion table based on first data schema information defining the structure of the first database and second data schema information defining the structure of the second database. For which database a query that is received from the outside and described corresponding to the structure of the first database is a query is determined with reference to the conversion table. When the query is determined to be a query for the second database, the query is converted and is introduced into the second database, and a query result in response to the query is converted into a format corresponding to the structure of the first database and output.

Abstract: Provided is a plan coordination apparatus that swiftly coordinates plans between business operators regardless of presence or absence of product order placement/receipt-relation. The plan coordination apparatus includes a value chain management unit and a scheduling unit. The value chain management unit prepares value chain data, recalculates reliability of order placement/receipt-relation between the business operators each time a new track record of product order placement/receipt-relation is collected, updates the reliability, and assigns the reliability to the edge. The scheduling unit accepts a plan alteration request from one of the business operators to be managed, refers to automatically adjustable volumes of the product data, the value chain data, and the plan data, judges whether a related business operator can alter the plan, identifies an alternative business operator, gives a notification of the alteration of the plan to the business operator, and alters the plan data.

Abstract: A planning support apparatus includes a storage device and a computing device. The storage device stores production record information, processing parameter information, and article attribute information for each of the articles. The production record information includes items of processes, facilities, articles, and production time. A computing device executes a process of generating a model for estimating the production time, a process of correcting production time under nonstandard conditions to production time under standard conditions on the basis of the model, and a process of generating a production time calculation formula for estimating production time from article attributes under the production conditions.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of calculating a correlation level for each combination between a city indicator and an infrastructure indicator and selecting a city indicator as an issue of a corresponding city to calculate an infrastructure KPI of the city as well as an importance level. Provided is a configuration that includes: a calculation processing unit that processes received data; and a storage device that is connected to the calculation processing unit and stores a plurality of city indicators and a plurality of infrastructure indicators for each city. The calculation processing unit is configured to calculate a correlation level between a designated city indicator among the plurality of city indicators and an infrastructure indicator related to the designated city indicator, and add up the correlation levels for each of the infrastructure indicators to calculate an importance level.

Abstract: An information provision intermediation apparatus is disclosed. An information provision intermediation definition table has stored therein, in correspondence with each other, an address of the information providing site of an information providing unit and an information provision condition required for the traceability data at the time of providing the information of the information providing site. A CPU acquires a traceability data group corresponding to the individual commodity ID acquired from a terminal. Based on the acquired traceability data group and the information provision condition, the CPU acquires the address of the information providing site of the information-available information providing unit, and using the acquired address, acquires the information from the information providing site and transmits it to the terminal.

Abstract: In an assembled product, a decrease in reading efficiency is avoided from being deteriorated by reading the electronic tags of the parts and the assembled product, registering their configuration information, and by placing read restriction on the electronic tags of the parts. For this purpose, manufacturing instruction information, used for assembling parts into an assembled product, is used. When replaced, the electronic tags of the assembled product are read, read restriction is removed from the assembled product, the electronic tag is read, the electronic tag of a new part to be installed is read, read restriction is placed on the electronic tag, and the configuration information is updated. An invalid part replacement is detected by comparing the configuration information.

Abstract: A notification apparatus transmits notification-related information (a notification message and a notification target(s)) to a notification-related information guarantee apparatus, and the notification-related information guarantee apparatus guarantees that the notification-related information has been received from nothing other than the notification apparatus. After the notification apparatus transmits the notification-related information guaranteed authentic to an intermediary notification apparatus, the intermediary notification apparatus also confirms whether the notification-related information has been guaranteed authentic by the notification-related information guarantee apparatus.

Abstract: A shelf reader reads a product unique ID of an IC tag attached to a product on a shelf. In accordance with the reading result, a shelf terminal detects whether the product is taken out from the shelf or not, and forwards the detection result to a product information management server together with the product unique ID. In the product information management server, a related product information extraction section refers to a related product information database, and extracts any related product information including the type of the product taken out from the shelf. This related product information indicates a combination of a plurality of products that are considered preferable to purchase together. An advertisement information creation section creates advertisement information based on thus extracted related product information. The resulting advertisement information is forwarded to the shelf terminal, and then is displayed by an output section of the shelf terminal.
