Abstract: When position information is added in a real-time fashion, anonymity of movement trajectories is ensured and the degree of abstraction of positioning data included in the position information is prevented from becoming too high. A group of anonymous information with a second positioning time preceding a first positioning time is partitioned into two or more groups so that the anonymous information with the first positioning time satisfies a predetermined anonymity metric and so that a degree of abstraction of the abstracted positioning data in the anonymous information becomes lower than a predetermined standard value, anonymous information including positioning data with the first positioning time abstracted by the partitioned groups is generated, and the generated anonymous information is stored in an anonymous information storage unit in association with the anonymous information with the second positioning time.
