Abstract: A control unit of a support server identifies, with respect to input data, a nearby node among existing nodes. The control unit calculates the distance between the input data and the nearby node. If the distance is greater than a maximum distance, the control unit uses the input data to add a new node to the existing nodes, and updates the activity value and the age of the new node and the nearby node in accordance with the distance to the nearby node. The control unit generates a self-organizing map by using the activity value of each node and the activity value of each path to calculate an age-based degree of activity, and by determining the presence or absence of each node and each path according to the degree of activity.
