Abstract: An operation arrangement work is accelerated by improving efficiency of generating an operation arrangement proposal and confirming whether the operation arrangement proposal is good or not. An operation support system has an operation arrangement proposal generation part (1110) which executes automatic generation of an operation arrangement proposal, a diagram prediction part which executes simulation of train operation in the future, a diagram display part (1120) which displays an operation schedule and the operation arrangement proposal as a diagram, and a user input part which receives input of a parameter from the user. System has a snapshot restoration part (1130) which restores snapshots of the operation arrangement proposal in an automatic generation process on the basis of a diagram change history outputted by the operation arrangement proposal generation part (1110), and a snapshot display input part (1140) which displays to the user a snapshot according to input from the user.

Abstract: In the conventional technique for mainly performing access control, an entity (an individual) which provides information cannot grasp a state of use of personal information. In the conventional technique for encrypting stored data, a decryption key is always required when personal data is used and the personal data is not protected once decrypted. The invention constitute a system such that a purchase history is collected according to an anonymous ID and a response from a member card or an agent server is required for operation for associating the anonymous ID with a personal ID. Personal data itself is not encrypted but stored in a plain text with the personal ID and the anonymous ID as keys such that the anonymous ID is regenerated every time the anonymous ID is associated with the personal ID on a server side. At this point, the anonymous ID serving as a collection key for the purchase history, which is accumulated concurrently, is also regenerated.

Abstract: A storage unit 104 of an address management apparatus 100 stores translation information 104C that associates, one-to-one, a value that can be taken by data in a block of a translation object address, with its post-translation value. An address translation unit 1032 reads, from the translation information 104C, a post-translation value associated with a value indicated by data of each block defined in the translation object IP address. Data of each block of the translation object address is translated based on the read post-translation value. This improves security in cases where access log data is provided to a third party.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a common storage accessible by a host includes: an NIC group connected with a plurality of communication paths connected to the host; an I/O processing unit for executing I/O processing of the common storage in response to an I/O request of the host; a storing unit for holding log information for each data transfer performed from/to the host; and a communication path selection unit for selecting, as a data transfer path, a communication path having actually indicated good I/O processing performance among communication paths used in the past data transfer approximate in a communication condition by referring to the log information held by the storing unit.

Abstract: Customer data is displayed to a user for making decisions in dealing with customers. The displayed data is generated based upon characteristic rules that are generated with respect to predetermined data definition information on the customer data. After confirming the effect of adding or deleting certain conditions to and from characteristic data segments as specified by the characteristic rules, the user selects a segment of particular interest. Subsequently, the user specifies certain similar customers from the selected segment to be used for speculation based upon a speculation model so that the speculation model has a relatively high precision level. Additionally, the user modifies the conditions on the speculation results to further understand the bases for the inclusion of the customers in the speculation. The user considers the future course of action towards certain customers based upon the above understandings.

Abstract: A reasoning method for determining similar cases by executing a case-similarity calculation step and utilizing a distribution of values of fields for calculation of reasoning results of cases having high similarities. Since the similar cases are determined taking a peripheral distribution of a new case into consideration, suitable similar cases can be selected for reasoning even when the case distribution is not uniform.

Abstract: Data analysis using online data summarization processing and rule-based data characteristic detection is performed at the time the transaction data is input. Online data input through an input device of a first server is stored into a transaction data memory device. A data summarizing device carries out summarization processing of online data according to stored parameters, and the resultant summary data is stored into a summary data memory device. A data joining device joins the summary data stored in the summary data memory device and the summary data transferred from a second server for the purpose of updating. In the first server, using rules generated by a rule generating device and stored in rule memory device, a detecting device detects characteristics of the summary data. Further, the results of data characteristic detection are sent to a client through.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a designation of a data identifier name (leaf name or node name, for example) displayed with a tree structure is received, the identifier name (root node name, for example) of an other tree structure to which the data identifier name so designated belongs is displayed, a designation for the other tree structure identifier name so displayed is received, and other data identifier names (parent node name in an upper level, or other leaf name or node name in the same layer, for example) belonging to the other tree structure so designated are displayed.
