  • Patent number: 8635241
    Abstract: Provided is an information recommendation system capable of recommending an unexpected item which a user is interested in but cannot assume easily. A server gives one or more times of initial recommendations of recommending information by a means of a user profile and a behavior history, and narrows down second recommended items to recommend next by using not only information relating to items having responses but also information relating to items having no response together. In narrowing down, the items are arranged by means of an item arrangement program by using the results of the initial recommendations, and it is identified depending on similarity by means of a boundary calculation program where the boundary between user's interest and no interest is positioned in all the items.

  • Patent number: 6282616
    Abstract: With respect to a data transfer over a network, data is stored in each cache of the network and the retrieving processing following the second retrieving processing is executed by using a cache, thereby resulting in a transfer amount being decreased. Statistics information of a data transfer over the network is obtained. When transfer data is stored in a low-speed storage such as a disk, only data of high access frequency is stored and data of low access frequency is discarded, thereby solving such a problem that a speed of a disk apparatus becomes a bottleneck.
