Information searching method of profile information, program, recording medium, and apparatus

An information searching method of profile information, comprising:

• a candidate data searching step wherein on the basis of input data in which attribute values including an uninput attribute value have been designated, a plurality of similar candidate data is searched from a profile data group including the attribute values having a peculiar value every different attribute;
• a significance calculating step wherein significance regarding the attribute is calculated on the basis of said searched candidate data and non-candidate data;
• a score calculating step wherein a score of each of said candidate data is calculated on the basis of said calculated significance;
• and
• a presumption result outputting step wherein similar data to said input attribute value is determined from said candidate data in accordance with the score of each of said candidate data, and the uninput attribute value of said input data is presumed on the basis of distribution of the uninput attribute values in said similar data and outputted.

A program for searching profile information, wherein said program allows a computer to execute:

• a candidate data searching step wherein on the basis of input data in which attribute values have been designated, a plurality of similar candidate data is searched from a profile data group having a peculiar attribute value every different attribute;
• a significance calculating step wherein significance regarding the attribute is calculated on the basis of said searched candidate data and non-candidate data;
• a score calculating step wherein a score of each of said candidate data is calculated on the basis of said calculated significance;
• and
• a search result outputting step wherein each candidate data is ranked on the basis of said calculated score and said ranked upper candidate data is outputted as a search result.

A program for searching profile information, wherein said program allows a computer to execute:

• a candidate data searching step wherein on the basis of input data in which attribute values including an uninput attribute value have been designated, a plurality of similar candidate data is searched from a profile data group including the attribute values having a peculiar value every different attribute;
• a significance calculating step wherein significance regarding the attribute is calculated on the basis of said searched candidate data and non-candidate data;
• a score calculating step wherein a score of each of said candidate data is calculated on the basis of said calculated significance;
• and
• a presumption result outputting step wherein similar data to said input attribute value is determined from said candidate data in accordance with the score of each of said candidate data, and the uninput attribute value of said input data is presumed on the basis of distribution of the uninput attribute values in said similar data and outputted.

A computer-readable recording medium which stores a program for allowing a computer to execute:

• a candidate data searching step wherein on the basis of input data in which attribute values have been designated, a plurality of similar candidate data is searched from a profile data group having a peculiar attribute value every different attribute;
• a significance calculating step wherein significance regarding the attribute is calculated on the basis of said searched candidate data and non-candidate data;
• a score calculating step wherein a score of each of said candidate data is calculated on the basis of said calculated significance;
• and
• a search result outputting step wherein each candidate data is ranked on the basis of said calculated score and said ranked upper candidate data is outputted as a search result.

An information searching apparatus comprising:

• a data storing unit in which a plurality of profile data each having a peculiar attribute value every different attribute has been stored;
• a candidate data searching unit which searches a plurality of similar candidate data from the profile data group stored in said data storing unit on the basis of input data in which attribute values have been designated;
• a significance calculating unit which calculates significance regarding the attribute on the basis of said searched candidate data and non-candidate data;
• a score calculating unit which calculates a score of each of said candidate data on the basis of said calculated significance;
• and
• a search result output unit which ranks each of said candidate data on the basis of said calculated score and outputs said ranked upper candidate data as a search result.
