It is occurred frequently the reverse nearest neighbor queries to find objects where a query point can be the nearest neighbor object in recently applications like the encrypted spatial database. In a search space of the real world, however, there are many physical obstacles(e.g., rivers, lakes, highways, etc.). It is necessary the accurate measurement of distances considered the obstacles to increase the retrieval performance such as this circumstance. In this study, we present the algorithm and the measurement of distance to optimize the processing performance of reverse nearest neighbor queries in a search space with the presence of obstacles.

The Reverse k Nearest Neighbor (RkNN) query is valuable for finding objects influenced by a specific object and is widely used in both scientific and commercial systems. However, the influence level of each object is unknown, information that is critical for some applications (e.g. target marketing). In this paper, we propose a new query type, Ordered Reverse k Nearest Neighbor (ORkNN), and make efforts to adapt it in an on-demand scenario. An Order-k Voronoi diagram based approach is used to answer ORkNN queries. In particular, for different values of k, we pre-construct only one Voronoi diagram. Algorithms on both the server and the clients are presented. We also present experimental results that suggest our proposed algorithms may have practical applications.
