Abstract

A method, device and computer program for efficiently identifying items having a high frequency of occurrence among items included in a large-volume text data stream. Identification information for identifying an item and a count of items are stored in a higher level of memory and only identification information is stored in a lower level. Text data stream input is received, the increment of the count of an item is increased in response to storage in the higher level memory of identification information for an item included in a bucket divided from the received text data stream input, identification information for the item is transferred with the initial count to the higher level of memory in response to storage in the lower level and the identification information for the item is newly stored with the initial count in the higher level in response to not being stored on any level.
