Data mining method and apparatus, and computer program product for carrying out the method

A distributed data mining method to be carried out in user equipments connected to a peer-to-peer communication network. The method includes: providing a data mining frame application in the equipments as code running on a device-specific platform and a trainable data mining algorithm produced on a programming language common to all equipments, running the data mining algorithm in a first equipment to process user data stored therein, modifying the data structures and/or the input parameter set of the data mining algorithm through training, forwarding at least a part of the modified input parameter set and/or the modified data structures of the data mining algorithm as training information from the first equipment to at least one second equipment, and modifying the input parameter set and/or the data structures of the data mining algorithm running on at least one second equipment using the training information received from the first equipment.
