Information processing apparatus and information processing method

TL;DR: In this article, an information processing apparatus and information processing method which facilitate comparison among time-series data on regions is presented, where an element-number limiting unit (103) searches a geographic information storage unit (102) for geographic information elements that match a display condition (301), and searches a time series data storage unit(104) for timeseries data that match the display condition.

Abstract: Provided are an information processing apparatus and information processing method which facilitate comparison among time-series data on regions. An element-number limiting unit (103) searches a geographic information storage unit (102) for geographic information elements that match a display condition (301), searches a time-series data storage unit (104) for time-series data that match the display condition (301), and limits both the level of detail of a map to be displayed and the number of time-series data elements to be displayed as graphs, the time-series data storage unit (104) being configured to store therein time-series data elements which have been associated with geographic information elements. On the basis of the display condition (301), a time-series data arrangement sequence determining unit (107) determines a sequence in which to arrange graphs to be drawn by a graph drawing unit (111) which represent the time-series data on the respective regions.
