Abstract
A storing unit stores a data set including a plurality of data elements and a first Bloom filter used to determine whether a query-target data element is present in the data set. A calculating unit deletes, when some data elements are deleted, a first bit array from the first Bloom filter. The first bit array has the number of bits corresponding to the number of deleted data elements. When a query-target first data element is entered, the calculating unit adds a second bit array temporarily to a second Bloom filter obtained by deleting the first bit array. The second bit array has the same number of bits as the first bit array, with all bits set to a specific value. Using the second Bloom filter, the calculating unit determines whether the first data element is present in the data set, from which some data elements have been deleted.
