Are connected via the network 13.

The first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 stores fixed phrase information. This fixed sentence information is information that associates a keyword with explanatory text information that is a sentence that constitutes a patent application document for a patent application and that serves as an explanatory sentence of the keyword.
Here, the keyword is a name mainly serving as a noun such as “MPEG” or “storage”.

  Further, the keyword may include component specifying information that is a character string for specifying the name of the component constituting the invention. This constituent element specifying information may be a noun indicating an operation / process included in the constituent element name, or may be the constituent element name itself. The former is, for example, “storage” or “reception”, and the latter is, for example, “information storage unit”, “information reception unit”, “bolt”, “nut”, or the like. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the component specifying information is a noun indicating an operation / process included in the component name.

  In addition, the keyword may include term specifying information that is a character string for specifying a term that is a word used in a specific field. The term specifying information may be a technical term in the information field, a technical term in the electrical / electronic field, a technical term in the mechanical field, or the like, or may be a character string commonly included in a compound noun. The former is, for example, “MPEG”, “dielectric”, “crankshaft”, and the like. The latter is, for example, a character string “filter” in a “cleaning filter” or a “low-pass filter”. In the present embodiment, a case where the term specifying information is a technical term will be described.

  Further, these keywords may be assigned particles, for example, “What is storage?” Or “MPEG is”. In the present embodiment, a case where no particle is given will be described.

  The explanatory text information is, for example, “a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” or “one of video data compression formats”. It is a character string indicating a description corresponding to a keyword, and may include component description information that is a character string indicating a description of a method in which the component can be realized or a method in which the operation of the component can be realized. Good. Further, the explanatory text information may include term explanatory information that is a character string indicating an explanatory text about the term. The explanatory text information is, for example, “storage may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” or “MPEG is one of video data compression formats. And the corresponding keyword may be included.

  Also, the fixed phrase information may include component correspondence information that is information that associates component identification information and component description information, or term association information that is information that associates term specification information and term explanation information May be included.

  The fixed phrase information may be, for example, a keyword and explanatory text information associated with each other in a format such as “<keyword> | <explanatory text information>”, or “<keyword> It may be associated in a format such as <description text information>. In addition, the fixed sentence information may be, for example, a keyword and description information associated with each other in a format such as “<keyword> is | <description information>”. In the format, the character string “ha” may be included at the head of <description text information>.

  When the keyword is the component specifying information, the explanatory text associated with it is the constituent element explanatory information. When the keyword is the term specifying information, the explanatory text associated with it is the term explanatory information. It goes without saying that the above-mentioned fixed sentence information format is also applied to these correspondences.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the fixed phrase information stored in the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 has a format such as “<keyword> | <descriptive sentence information>”.

  When storing the fixed phrase information, the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 may allocate one storage area for each type of fixed phrase information, or store two or more types for each type of fixed phrase information. An area may be allocated. Here, the “type of fixed phrase information” is a type of component element correspondence information or term correspondence information included in the fixed phrase information as described above. Also, “allocate two or more storage areas for each type of fixed phrase information” means, for example, that the type of fixed phrase information is the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 if the RDBMS (Relational DataBase Management System). For example, if the first standard sentence information storage unit 1101 is a tabular file, there are two or more files for each type of standard sentence information. Means that. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which one storage area is assigned to the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 for each type of fixed sentence information.

  The first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 may be a volatile temporary memory (so-called main memory or the like) or a non-volatile memory such as a hard disk or a CD-ROM. Moreover, the process in which fixed phrase information is memorize | stored in the 1st fixed sentence information storage part 1101 does not ask | require. For example, the fixed phrase information may be stored in the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 via a recording medium, or the fixed phrase information transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the first fixed phrase information. The information may be stored in the information storage unit 1101, or the fixed phrase information input via the input device may be stored in the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101.

  The request information receiving unit 1102 receives request information including a keyword. Further, the request information receiving unit 1102 may receive request information including a keyword and keyword type information that is information indicating the type of the keyword. In the present embodiment, the latter case will be described.

  The keyword type information may be anything as long as it specifies a storage area in the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101, for example, a flag, a file name, a table name, or the like. For example, the keyword type information may be a character string “configuration” when the keyword is component specifying information and a character string “term” when the keyword is term specifying information. The keyword type information may be, for example, “1” when the keyword is component specifying information and “2” when the keyword is term specifying information. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described.

The request information only needs to include a keyword, and may include keyword type information. Moreover, the format is not ask | required. For example, if the request information includes a keyword and keyword type information, the request information may have a format such as “<keyword>, <keyword type information>”. <Keyword>&<Keyword type information>"may be used. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the request information has a format such as “<keyword>&<keyword type information>”. In addition, for example, when the request information includes a plurality of keywords and keyword type information (
For example, the request information includes, for example, “<keyword>, <keyword type information>, <keyword>, <keyword type information>, <keyword. >, <Keyword type information>",or"<Keyword>&<Keyword type information>&<Keyword>&<Keyword type information>&<Keyword>&<Keyword type information>" The format may be as follows.

  The request information receiving unit 1102 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast.

  The first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 searches the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 for fixed sentence information associated with the keyword included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102. In this case, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 may search for the description sentence information. Here, “search” means acquisition of information that can be searched from information to be searched based on a search key.

  The first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 searches the fixed phrase information associated with the keyword included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102 from the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101, Information indicating the type of the fixed sentence information may be acquired, or the description sentence information associated with the keyword may be searched to acquire information indicating the type of the description sentence information.

  For example, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 indicates that the fixed sentence information is the component correspondence information when the component correspondence information can be searched as the fixed sentence information associated with the keyword, for example. Information may be acquired, or when component description information can be searched as description information associated with a keyword, information indicating that the description information is component description information may be acquired. Good.

  Also, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 displays information indicating that the fixed phrase information is the term correspondence information when the word correspondence information can be searched as the fixed sentence information associated with the keyword, for example. Alternatively, when term explanation information can be searched as explanation text information associated with a keyword, information indicating that the explanation text information is term explanation information may be obtained.

  In addition, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 determines that the request information reception unit 1102 from the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 corresponds to the keyword type information included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102. The fixed phrase information associated with the keyword included in the received request information may be searched, or the description sentence information may be searched.

  For example, if the keyword type information is information indicating that the keyword is component element specifying information, the first standard sentence information search unit 1103 receives the request information reception unit 1102 from the first standard sentence information storage unit 1101. May be searched for the component correspondence information associated with the keyword included in the request information received, or the component description information may be searched.

  Further, for example, if the keyword type information is information indicating that the keyword is term specifying information, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 receives a request information receiving unit from the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101. The term correspondence information associated with the keyword included in the request information received by 1102 may be searched, or the term explanation information may be searched.

  When the keyword is the component element specifying information and the component element specifying information is a character string indicating the component element name, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 determines the component element name that is the component element specifying information. May be extracted from the character string indicating the component that can realize the component indicated by the component name, and the component correspondence information or component description information may be searched using the character string as a search key. For example, when the component name is “information storage unit”, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 may search for the component element correspondence information or the component element description information using “storage” as a search key. For example, when the component name is “information receiving unit”, the component element correspondence information or the component element description information may be searched using “reception” as a search key. In this case, the keyword included in the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 and the keyword included in the fixed phrase information stored in the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 may be different. For example, when the keyword included in the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 is “information storage unit”, the keyword included in the fixed phrase information stored in the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 is “ For example, when the keyword included in the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 is “information receiving unit”, the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 stores the keyword. The keyword included in the fixed phrase information may be “reception”.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 determines from the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 according to the keyword type information included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102. A case will be described in which component element correspondence information or term correspondence information associated with a keyword included in request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 is searched.

  In addition, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 searches the fixed phrase information associated with the keyword included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102 from the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101, for example. If it is not possible, for example, the fixed phrase information “<keyword> | NULL” may be retrieved. In addition, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 searches the fixed phrase information associated with the keyword included in the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102 from the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101, for example. If it is not possible, for example, the fixed phrase information “<Keyword> | Explanation could not be acquired” may be retrieved. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described.

  The first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The response information transmission unit 1104 receives the response information including the explanatory text information included in the standard text information that is the result of the search by the first standard text information search unit 1103, and the reception source from which the request information reception unit 1102 has received the request information. Send to. In this case, the response information transmission unit 1104 may transmit response information including fixed phrase information.

  When the response information transmission unit 1104 transmits response information including explanatory text information, the response information may be in a format such as “<explanatory text information>”, for example. When the response information transmission unit 1104 transmits response information including fixed phrase information, the response information may be in a format such as “<fixed phrase information>”, for example. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described.

  When the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 does not include the keyword type information, the response information transmitting unit 1104 displays the fixed phrase information that is the result of the search by the first fixed phrase information searching unit 1103. Response information including the included explanatory text information and explanatory text type information that is information indicating the type of the explanatory text information may be transmitted to the reception source from which the request information receiving unit 1102 has received the request information. In addition, when the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 does not include keyword type information, the response information transmitting unit 1104 displays the fixed phrase information that is the result of the search by the first fixed phrase information searching unit 1103. Response information including fixed sentence type information that is information indicating the type of the fixed sentence information may be transmitted to the reception source from which the request information receiving unit 1102 has received the request information.

  When the response information transmission unit 1104 transmits response information including explanatory text information, the response information may have a format such as “<explanatory text information>, <explanatory text type information>”. <Description sentence information> & <description sentence type information> "may be used. When the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 does not include keyword type information, the response information may be in a format such as “<fixed sentence information>, <fixed sentence type information>”, for example. However, it may be in a format such as “<formatted sentence information> & <formatted sentence type information>”.

  Similarly, when the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 does not include the keyword type information, the response information transmitting unit 1104 displays the fixed phrase information that is a result of the search by the first fixed phrase information searching unit 1103. And response information including the information indicating the type of the explanatory text information included in the fixed text information may be transmitted.

  The response information transmission unit 1104 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication unit, but may be realized by a broadcasting unit.

  The invention information storage unit 1201 stores the invention information. This invention information may be information including information constituting the invention specifying information. The invention specifying information is information relating to one or more inventions, and may be information specifying the invention. The invention specifying information is composed of information indicating the names of the constituent elements constituting the invention and information indicating an explanatory text about the operation of the constituent elements.

  The invention information format only needs to include the invention specifying information. For example, the invention information format may be a claim format, a table format, or a clause in prose. It may be in any format, and it doesn't matter.

  The invention information in the form of claims may be the same as, for example, the contents described in [Claims] in an application document for patent application. In addition, the invention information in the form of a table includes, for example, a configuration of one line, “<claim number> | <summary of invention> | <embodiment number> | <component name> | <component Definition> ”may be used. In addition, the invention information in the form of bullets in prose includes, for example, the name of a component constituting one invention and an explanatory text about the operation of the component “<component>: < It may be a bulleted item in a format such as “description of component >>”. In the present embodiment, the case where the invention information is in the form of claims will be described.

  Further, in the invention information, a claim expressing one invention may be set as one unit, or information composed of a plurality of claims may be set as one unit. In the present embodiment, the latter case will be described.

  The invention information storage unit 1201 may be a volatile temporary memory (so-called main memory or the like) or a non-volatile memory such as a hard disk or a CD-ROM. Moreover, the process in which invention information is memorize | stored in the invention information storage part 1201 does not ask | require. For example, the invention information may be stored in the invention information storage unit 1201 via a recording medium, or the invention information transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the invention information storage unit 1201. Alternatively, the invention information input via the input device may be stored in the invention information storage unit 1201.

  The keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts keywords from the invention information stored in the invention information storage unit 1201. This keyword may include component element specifying information and term specifying information.

  For example, in the case of extracting a keyword serving as component element specifying information, the keyword extracting unit 1202 is information for extracting component element specifying information from the invention information stored in the invention information storage unit 1201. Based on the element extraction information, component element specifying information that is a keyword is extracted.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a claim, the constituent element extraction information is, for example, verb information that is a character string indicating a basic form of a verb or a delimiter phrase that is a character string that indicates a sentence delimiter. It may be information. The former is, for example, “determine”, “accept”, “associate”, and the like. The latter is, for example, “to”, “to”, “to”, “to”, and the like.

  Also, for example, if the invention information is in the form of a table, the component element extraction information is, for example, column information that indicates the column in which the component element name is input, or the component element name is input. It may also be line information that is information indicating the line that is being processed. The former may be in a format such as “element = Col: 5” indicating that the component name is input in the fifth column. The latter may be in a format such as “element = Row: 10” indicating that the component name is input on the tenth line.

  In addition, the component element extraction information includes other information such as “part” and “means” that indicate a character string that ends the component element name, for example, “form element name is subjected to morphological analysis and appears last. Information indicating the condition for extracting the component identification information from the component name, such as “It is a noun” or “It is a phrase that becomes a verb to use a saber transformation by giving“ Yes ””, for example, “ The component specifying information stored in the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 such as “store” and “receive” may be used.

  The component element extraction information may be, for example, information stored in an arbitrary storage area, or may be acquired from the outside when the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts a keyword.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a claim, the keyword extracting unit 1202 invents a character string in which the verb information is a start character string and the delimiter phrase information is an end character string, for example. One or more of the invention information stored in the information storage unit 1201 is extracted, a character string obtained by removing verb information and delimiter phrase information from the character string is used as a component name, and “Yes” is assigned from the component name. Thus, the last appearing word / phrase that becomes the saber modification utilization verb may be extracted as component specifying information. In this embodiment, this case will be described. In this case, information indicating the claim included in the invention information may be a unit, and the keyword may be extracted for each unit, or from the start of the sentence included in the invention information to a line break, or a line break From the line feed to the line feed, or from the line feed to the end of the sentence as one unit, the keyword may be extracted for each unit.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a table, the keyword extracting unit 1202 extracts, for example, a column number from the column information, scans the column corresponding to the column number, and is input If the character string that appears at the end of the word that becomes the sabbatine modification verb is added as the constituent element name information by extracting “Yes” from the constituent element name as the constituent element name Good. In this case, for example, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts the column number from the column information, extracts the row number from the row information, and configures the character string input at the location indicated by the column number and the row number. It may be extracted as an element name, and by adding “Yes” to the constituent element name, the last appearing word / phrase that becomes a saddle modification utilizing verb may be extracted as the constituent element specifying information.

  In addition, for example, in the case of extracting a keyword serving as term specifying information, the keyword extracting unit 1202 is a term that is information for extracting term specifying information from the invention information stored in the invention information storage unit 1201. Based on the extracted information, term specifying information that is a keyword is extracted.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a claim, the term extraction information is, for example, auxiliary verb information, which is a character string indicating an auxiliary verb indicating assertion or cancellation, or a character string indicating a sentence delimiter. It may be certain delimiter phrase information. The former is, for example, “is” or “not”. The latter is, for example, “to”, “to”, “to”, “to”, and the like.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a table, the term extraction information is, for example, column information that is information indicating a column in which a term name is input, or a term name is input. It may be line information that is information indicating a line. The former is, for example, information indicating that a term name is input in the eighth column, and may be in a format such as “element = Col: 8”, for example. The latter is, for example, information indicating that a term name is input on the fourth line, and may be in a format such as “element = Row: 4”.

  In addition, the term extraction information includes, for example, information indicating a character string that ends the term such as a character string “axis” in “crankshaft” and “belt shaft”, for example, “building”, “ballpoint pen”, It may be a general noun such as “telephone” or a term specifying information stored in the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 such as “MPEG” or “JPEG”.

  The term extraction information may be, for example, information stored in an arbitrary storage area, or may be acquired from the outside when the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts a keyword.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a claim, the keyword extraction unit 1202 invents a character string in which the auxiliary verb information is a start character string and the delimiter phrase information is an end character string as term specifying information. One or more of the invention information stored in the information storage unit 1201 may be extracted, and a character string obtained by removing auxiliary verb information and delimiter phrase information from the character string may be extracted as term specifying information. In this embodiment, this case will be described. In this case, information indicating the claim included in the invention information may be a unit, and the keyword may be extracted for each unit, or from the start of the sentence included in the invention information to a line break, or a line break From the line feed to the line feed, or from the line feed to the end of the sentence as one unit, the keyword may be extracted for each unit.

  For example, if the invention information is in the form of a table, the keyword extracting unit 1202 extracts, for example, a column number from the column information, scans the column corresponding to the column number, and is input Existing character strings may be extracted as term specifying information. In this case, for example, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts the column number from the column information, extracts the row number from the row information, and defines the character string input at the location indicated by the column number and the row number as a term. You may extract as specific information.

  The keyword extraction unit 1202 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the keyword extraction unit 1202 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 stores transmission prohibition information that is information indicating a character string that is prohibited from being transmitted to the server device 11.

  The transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 may store, for example, transmission prohibition information created manually by the user, or is automatically created based on transmission prohibition information created manually by the user in the past. Transmission prohibition information may be stored. Here, “automatically created” means, for example, learning by using machine learning information that was previously set as transmission prohibition information and information indicating that the information is transmission prohibition information. Using a learning device that determines whether it is information, it is determined whether a keyword extracted from any patent application document by morphological analysis is transmission prohibition information, and information determined to be transmission prohibition information The transmission prohibition information may be used.

  Here, the machine learning is a technique / method for realizing the same function as a learning ability naturally performed by a human by a computer. That is, in the above example, the learner learns the transmission prohibition information, and determines whether the information indicating the character string to be transmitted to the server device 11 is the transmission prohibition information.

  As long as the transmission prohibition information is information indicating a character string that prohibits transmission to the server device 11, there is no limitation on the format such as a character string indicating a keyword or information obtained by encrypting a character string indicating a keyword.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which a character string indicating a keyword is stored in transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 as transmission prohibition information.

  The transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 may be a volatile temporary memory (so-called main memory or the like) or a non-volatile memory such as a hard disk or a CD-ROM. Further, the process of storing the transmission prohibition information in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 does not matter. For example, transmission prohibition information may be stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 via a recording medium, or transmission prohibition information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203. Alternatively, the transmission prohibition information input via the input device may be stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203.

  The second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 stores fixed phrase information. This fixed sentence information may be the same as the fixed sentence information stored in the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 or may be information in a different format.

  When storing the fixed phrase information, the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 may allocate one storage area for each type of fixed phrase information, or allocate two or more storage areas for each type of fixed phrase information. It may be assigned. Here, the “type of fixed phrase information” is a type of component element correspondence information or term correspondence information included in the fixed phrase information as described above. Further, “allocate two or more storage areas for each type of fixed phrase information” means that, for example, if the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 is an RDBMS, two or more types of fixed phrase information For example, if the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 is a tabular file, it means that there are two or more files for each type of fixed phrase information. In addition, when the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 allocates two or more storage areas for each type of fixed phrase information as described above, some of the storage areas are encrypted, and the rest It may be in a state where it is not encrypted.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which one storage area is allocated to the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 for each type of fixed sentence information.

  The second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 may be a volatile temporary memory (so-called main memory or the like) or a nonvolatile memory such as a hard disk or a CD-ROM. Moreover, the process in which fixed phrase information is memorize | stored in the 2nd fixed phrase information storage part 1204 does not ask | require. For example, the fixed phrase information may be stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 via the recording medium, or the fixed phrase information transmitted via the communication line or the like is stored in the second fixed phrase information. The information may be stored in the information storage unit 1204, or the fixed phrase information input via the input device may be stored in the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204. In the present embodiment, the fixed phrase information is stored in the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 even if the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1213 or the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1214 performs the storage. Good.

  The second fixed sentence information search unit 1205 searches the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 for fixed sentence information associated with the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202. In this case, the second fixed phrase information search unit 1205 may search for the description sentence information. Here, “search” means acquisition of information that can be searched from information to be searched based on a search key.

  Also, the second fixed sentence information search unit 1205 searches the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 for fixed sentence information associated with the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202, and the type of the fixed sentence information May be acquired, or explanatory text information associated with the keyword may be searched for and information indicating the type of the explanatory text information may be acquired.

  In addition, the second fixed phrase information search unit 1205 receives the keyword extraction unit 1202 from the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 according to the keyword type information that is information indicating the type of the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202. The fixed phrase information associated with the keyword extracted by may be searched, or the description sentence information may be searched. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described.

  The other processes of the second fixed phrase information search unit 1205 are the same except that a search is performed from the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 using the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202 and the keyword type information. Since this is the same as the one fixed phrase information search unit 1103, the description thereof is omitted.

  The second fixed phrase information search unit 1205 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the second fixed phrase information search unit 1205 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits request information including the keyword extracted by the keyword extracting unit 1202 to the server device 11, and receives explanatory text information that is response information to the request information from the server device 11. Get information. In this case, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may receive the fixed phrase information from the server device 11 as response information for the request information.

  For example, when the request information including the keyword that is the component element specifying information is transmitted to the server device 11, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may receive the component element description information or the component element correspondence information. Also good.

  In addition, for example, when the request information including the keyword that is the term specifying information is transmitted to the server device 11, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may receive the term explanation information or may receive the term correspondence information. Good.

  Further, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits a keyword including the keyword extracted by the keyword extracting unit 1202 to the server device 11, and the explanatory note information and the explanatory note type information that are response information to the request information are transmitted from the server device 11. By receiving, the description text information and the description text type information may be acquired. In this case, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may receive fixed phrase information and fixed phrase type information as response information to the request information.

  For example, when the request text information including the keyword that is the constituent element specifying information is transmitted to the server device 11, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may receive the constituent element explanation information and the explanatory sentence type information, Information and fixed sentence type information may be received.

  In addition, for example, when the request information including the keyword that is the term specifying information is transmitted to the server device 11, the description information acquisition unit 1206 may receive the term description information and the description type information, or the term correspondence information And fixed sentence type information may be received.

  Also, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits request information including the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202 and keyword type information that is information indicating the type of the keyword to the server device 11, and a response to the request information The explanatory text information may be acquired by receiving the explanatory text information that is information. In this case, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may receive fixed phrase information as response information for the request information.

  For example, when the request information including the keyword that is the component identification information and the keyword type information indicating that the keyword is the component identification information is transmitted to the server device 11, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 Explanation information may be received, or component correspondence information may be received.

  In addition, for example, when the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits request information including a keyword that is term specifying information and keyword type information indicating that the keyword is term specifying information to the server device 11, the term explanation Information may be received or term correspondence information may be received.

  For example, when the explanatory text information received from the server device 11 is NULL, the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 may acquire “Explanatory text could not be acquired” as the explanatory text information. Further, for example, when the fixed sentence information received from the server device 11 is “<keyword> | NULL”, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 has the fixed form “<keyword> | descriptive sentence could not be acquired”. It is good also as what was acquired as sentence information.

  In the present embodiment, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits request information including a keyword and keyword type information to the server device 11, and the explanatory text information that is response information corresponding to the keyword type information is transmitted to the server device 11. In the case where the explanatory text information is acquired by receiving and the acquired explanatory text information is NULL, the case where “the explanatory text could not be acquired” is used as the explanatory text information will be described.

  The request information transmitted by the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 has the same format as the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102 described above. Further, the response information received by the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 has the same format as the response information transmitted by the response information transmission unit 1104 described above.

  In addition, the process in which the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits request information and receives response information does not matter. For example, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may transmit request information and receive response information one by one for all of the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202. In addition, for example, the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 first generates request information including the keyword for all the keywords extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202, and then generates all the generated request information as one. You may make it transmit one by one and receive response information. In the present embodiment, the latter case will be described.

  Further, when the transmission prohibition information stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 is included in the request information including the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 stores the request information in the server If the transmission prohibition information stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 is not included in the request information including the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202 without being transmitted to the device 11, the request information is sent to the server device 11. Send.

  For example, if request information including one keyword is transmitted to the server device 11, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 includes the transmission storage information stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 in the request information. If it is not included, the request information may be transmitted. If it is included, the request information may not be transmitted. In this embodiment, this case will be described.

  For example, if request information including a plurality of keywords is transmitted to the server device 11, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 includes the transmission prohibition information stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 in the request information. If it is not included, the request information is transmitted. If it is included, the request information may not be transmitted. The request information from which the transmission prohibition information is deleted may be transmitted. In addition, the transmission prohibition information may be deleted from the request information, for example, a keyword that completely matches the transmission prohibition information may be deleted, or a keyword that partially matches the transmission prohibition information may be deleted.

  Moreover, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 may acquire NULL as the explanatory note information associated with the keyword included in the request information that is not transmitted. In this embodiment, this case will be described.

  Further, for example, if the request information includes a character string, the request prohibition information storage unit 1203 stores the request prohibition information in the request information by, for example, character string matching. It may be determined whether a character string indicating the transmission prohibition information is not included. Note that the request information transmitted to the server device 11 by the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 does not include transmission prohibition information, and any method for preventing the request information from including transmission prohibition information is acceptable.

  For example, at the time of keyword extraction, the keyword extraction unit 1202 determines whether or not a character string extracted as a keyword candidate is transmission prohibition information, and if it is transmission prohibition information, the character string extracted as a keyword candidate is used as a keyword. If it is not transmission prohibition information, a character string extracted as a keyword candidate may be used as a keyword.

  In addition, for example, the keyword extraction unit 1202 checks whether or not the transmission prohibition information is included in the invention information to be extracted from the keyword at the time of keyword extraction. The keyword may be extracted from the information to which the information indicating the transmission prohibition information is not provided.

  Further, for example, the keyword extraction unit 1202 checks whether or not the extracted keyword is transmission prohibition information, and if it is transmission prohibition information, information indicating that the corresponding keyword is transmission prohibition information. The request information including the keyword to which the information indicating that it is the transmission prohibition information is not attached may be transmitted.

  Note that the transmission prohibition information may be the transmission prohibition information stored in the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203. For example, the transmission prohibition information in the past and the information is the transmission prohibition information. May be information indicated as transmission prohibition information by a learning device that learns by machine learning and determines whether the given information is transmission prohibition information.

  The explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 also acquires explanatory text information included in the fixed phrase information that is a result of the search by the second fixed phrase information search unit 1205. In addition, when the explanatory text information associated with the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202 from the second fixed text information search unit 1205 cannot be acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205, the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 includes request information including the keyword. May be transmitted to the server device 11 and the explanatory text information may be acquired by receiving explanatory text information that is response information to the request information. In this embodiment, this case will be described.

  In addition, when the explanatory text information included in the fixed text information that is the result of the search by the second fixed text information search unit 1205 is NULL, the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 indicates that “the explanatory text could not be acquired. "May be acquired as explanatory text information. In this embodiment, this case will be described.

  The explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The used explanatory text information determination unit 1207, with respect to one keyword, the explanatory text information acquired by the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 from the server device 11, the explanatory text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205, and If the explanatory text information acquired from the server device 11 is a part of the explanatory text information acquired from the second standard text information search unit 1205, it is acquired from the second standard text information search unit 1205. When it is determined that the explanatory text information is used as a search result, and the explanatory text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205 is a part of the explanatory text information acquired from the server device 11, the server device 11 It is determined that the acquired explanatory text information is used as a search result. In this case, when the explanatory text information acquired from the server device 11 and the explanatory text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205 are the same, the explanatory text information acquired from the server device 11 is used. It may be determined that it may be determined, or it may be determined that the explanatory text information acquired in the second fixed text information search unit 1205 will be used, or information indicating which explanatory text information to be used is determined in advance. You may judge according to.

  For example, when the usage description text information determination unit 1207 determines that “use the description text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205 as a search result”, the description text information acquired from the server device 11 “ If the description information acquired from the second fixed sentence information search unit 1205 is “output claim information and description information”, or the server apparatus 11 When the description text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205 is “output only the code information” when the description text information acquired from “is output the code information”. is there.

  If this determination is the former case, for example, morphological analysis is performed on the explanatory text information acquired from the server device 11, and “billing” + “term” + “information” + “to” + “output” + It is divided into “Yes” + “.” And the morphological analysis is similarly performed on the explanatory text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205, and “request” + “term” + “information” + “ ”+“ Detail ”+“ book ”+“ information ”+“ is ”+“ output ”+“ do ”+“. ”, The two pieces of divided information are compared, and each divided information This may be done by calculating the degree of coincidence and the context.

  Here, “calculation of the degree of coincidence” is to calculate how much the character string as the comparison source matches the character string to be compared. For example, when the character string to be compared is “output code information” and the character string to be compared is “output code information”, the morpheme for the character string to be compared Analyze and divide into “sign” + “information” + “to” + “output” + “do” + “.”, And whether each divided character string exists in the comparison target character string It may be calculated by determining whether or not. In this case, the divided comparison source character string “sign” exists in the comparison target character string, the divided comparison source character string “information” exists in the comparison target character string, The divided comparison source character string “O” does not exist in the comparison target character string. Also, the divided comparison source string “Output” exists in the comparison target string, and the divided comparison source string “Yes” exists in the comparison target string, and the divided comparison The original character string “.” Exists in the character string to be compared. As a result, among the comparison source character strings divided into six, five character strings exist in the comparison target character strings, and therefore, the degree of coincidence may be calculated as 5/6.

  Also, “calculation of context” is to calculate the relationship between the appearance position of the character string in the comparison target character string and the appearance position in the character string to be compared. . For example, when the character string to be compared is “output code information” and the character string to be compared is “code information to be output”, for the character string to be compared Perform morphological analysis, divide into "sign" + "information" + "" + "output" + "do" + ".", Where each of the divided character strings exists in the character string to be compared You may calculate whether to do. In this case, the divided comparison source character string “code” exists in the first character in the comparison source character string, but exists in the seventh character in the comparison target character string. The divided comparison source character string “information” exists in the third character in the comparison source character string, but exists in the ninth character in the comparison target character string. Further, the divided comparison source character string “O” exists in the fifth character in the comparison source character string, but does not exist in the comparison target character string. Further, the divided character string “output” of the comparison source exists in the sixth character in the comparison source character string, but exists in the first character in the character string to be compared. Further, the divided comparison source character string “Yes” exists in the eighth character in the comparison source character string, but exists in the third character in the comparison target character string. The divided comparison source character string “.” Is present at the 10th character in the comparison source character string, but is present at the 11th character in the comparison target character string. The context may be calculated by calculating the difference between the appearance position in the comparison source character string and the appearance position in the comparison target character string and calculating the sum thereof.

Next, a specific example of the operation will be described using specific information.
First, an example in which the client device 12 transmits request information will be described.
The invention information storage unit 1201 stores the invention information shown in FIG. Also, it is assumed that the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 stores “calculation”.

  First, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts component element specifying information from the invention information shown in FIG. 14 stored in the invention information storage unit 1201 based on the component element extraction information accumulated in an arbitrary storage area. To do. Further, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts term specifying information from the invention information shown in FIG. 14 stored in the invention information storage unit 1201 based on the term extraction information accumulated in an arbitrary storage area.

  First, an example in which the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts component element specifying information will be described.

  First, the keyword extraction unit 1202 reads component element extraction information stored in an arbitrary storage area. The keyword extraction unit 1202 can read, for example, “accept”, “store”, “do”, and “output” as verb information, and “to”, “ ”,“ To ”,“ to ”,“ to <line feed> ”, and“ to <line feed> ”. “<Line feed>” means a line feed in the character string.

  Next, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts, from the invention information, a character string in which the verb information is a start character string and the delimiter phrase information is an end character string. In the invention information shown in FIG. 14, verb information “accept”, “store”, “perform”, “output” are start character strings, and delimiter phrase information “to”, “o”, “to”, Character strings whose end character strings are “to”, “to <new line>”, “and <new line>” are “accepting mathematical information input unit”, “stored mathematical information storage unit”, “perform” There are five formulas: “mathematical calculation unit”, “output calculation result output unit”, and “calculation result storage unit to be stored”. Note that the latter is omitted for overlapping character strings such as “accepting mathematical expression information input unit” and “accepting mathematical expression information input unit”.

  Next, the keyword extraction unit 1202 uses a character string obtained by removing verb information and delimiter phrase information from the extracted five character strings as a component element name, and assigns “Yes” to the component element name. The word that appears at the end of the phrase that is the sa line modification utilization verb is extracted as component specifying information. For example, if the first character string is “accepting formula information input part”, the component name is “math formula information input part”, and by adding “Yes”, it becomes a saber modification utilization verb. Since the last occurrence of the phrase is “input”, this “input” is extracted as component specifying information. This process is performed on the remaining four character strings, and as a result, “memory”, “calculation”, “output”, and “memory” can be extracted from each character string. Since “memory” is duplicated, one component is deleted, and the component element identification information finally extracted is “input”, “memory”, “calculation”, and “output”. Then, keyword type information “configuration” indicating that it is component element specifying information is assigned to each of these four component element specifying information.

Next, an example of extracting term specifying information will be described.
First, the keyword extraction unit 1202 reads term extraction information accumulated in an arbitrary storage area. The keyword extraction unit 1202 can read, for example, “is”, “is,” as auxiliary verb information, and also, for example, “no”, “to”, “no”, It is assumed that “and”, “and <new line>”, and “and <new line>” can be read.

  Next, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts, from the invention information, a character string in which the auxiliary verb information is a start character string and the delimiter phrase information is an end character string. In the invention information shown in FIG. 14, the auxiliary verb information “is”, “is,” is the start character string, and the delimiter phrase information “no”, “to”, “no”, “to”, “to” The character string whose end character string is “<line feed>”, “and <line feed>” is “of mathematical expression information”.

  Next, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts a character string obtained by removing the auxiliary verb and the delimiter phrase information from the extracted character string as term specifying information. In the above-mentioned “of mathematical expression information”, “mathematical information” is extracted as term specifying information. Then, keyword type information “term” indicating the term specifying information is given to the term specifying information.

Next, an example in which request information is transmitted to the server device 11 will be described.
The explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 transmits request information to the server device 11 based on the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202. For example, in the above, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts “input”, “memory”, “calculation”, and “output” as the component element specifying information, and is component element specifying information for each of them. The keyword type information “configuration” indicating is added. In addition, the keyword extraction unit 1202 extracts “mathematical information” as the term specifying information, and adds keyword type information “term” indicating the term specifying information to the term specifying information.
From these pieces of information, the descriptive text information acquisition unit 1206 sets request information “input & configuration”, “storage & configuration”, “calculation & configuration”, “output & configuration”, and “math formula information & terminology” including them. And transmitted to the server device 11. Since the transmission prohibition information storage unit 1203 stores “calculation” and “calculation & configuration” includes the transmission prohibition information, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 determines the request information for the server device. 11 is not sent.

Next, an example in which the server device 11 receives request information and transmits response information will be described.
It is assumed that the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 stores the fixed sentence information shown in FIGS. 15 and 16. Note that FIG. 15 is component element correspondence information, “name” in FIG. 15 is component element identification information that is a keyword, and “description” in FIG. 15 is component element description information that is descriptive text information. 16 is term correspondence information, “name” in FIG. 16 is term specifying information that is a keyword, and “description” in FIG. 16 is term explanation information that is explanation text information.

  First, the request information receiving unit 1102 receives request information from the client device 12. As described above, since the request information transmitted from the client device 12 is “input & configuration”, “storage & configuration”, “output & configuration”, “math formula information & terminology”, the request information receiving unit 1102 It is assumed that such request information has been received.

  Next, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 extracts keywords and keyword type information from the request information received by the request information reception unit 1102. Since the request information received by the request information receiving unit 1102 is in the format of <keyword> & <keyword type information> as described above, the first fixed phrase information searching unit 1103 converts the request information into It is divided before and after “&”, the previous part divided by “&” is extracted as a keyword, and the subsequent part is extracted as keyword type information.

  For example, if the request information of the “input & configuration” is the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103, “input” is extracted as a keyword, and “configuration” is extracted as keyword type information. In this case, since the keyword type information is “configuration”, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 searches the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101 for component element correspondence information using “input” as a search key. To do. As a result, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 determines that “input | <component >> is a keyboard or the like from the component correspondence information shown in FIG. 15 stored in the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101. "It can be realized by an input device such as a mouse or other software."

  In addition, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 uses, for example, “memory” as a search key for the request information “storage & configuration”, and from the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101, the component element correspondence information It is assumed that “memory | <component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or a DVD-R” can be searched.

  In addition, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 uses, for example, “memory” as a search key for the request information “output & configuration”, and from the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101, the component element correspondence information It is assumed that “output | <component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker” can be searched.

  Further, for example, in the case of the request information of the “math formula information & term”, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 extracts “math formula information” as a keyword and extracts “term” as keyword type information. In this case, since the keyword type information is “term”, the first fixed phrase information search unit 1103 searches for term correspondence information from the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1101 using “mathematical information” as a search key. To do. As a result, the first fixed sentence information search unit 1103 determines that “formula information | math formulas only for the four arithmetic operations from the term correspondence information shown in FIG. 16 stored in the first fixed sentence information storage unit 1101. ”Is retrieved.

  Next, the response information transmission unit 1104 transmits response information including explanatory text information included in the standard text information that is a result of the search by the first standard text information search unit 1103 to the client device 12. As described above, for the request information “input & configuration”, “storage & configuration”, “output & configuration”, and “formula information & terminology” received by the request information receiving unit 1102, “input | <component > May be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc. "," storage | <component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or a DVD-R. ”,“ Output | <component >> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker. ”,“ Formula information | Formula only for four arithmetic operations. ” Therefore, the response information transmission unit 1104 transmits response information including the explanatory text information included in these fixed text information to the client device 12. The response information transmission unit 1104 transmits, for example, response information “<component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software” to the request information “input & configuration”, for example. , Response information “<component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” is transmitted to request information “storage & configuration”, for example, request information “output” Response information “<component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker” is transmitted to the “information & configuration”. It is a mathematical formula for “.”.

Next, an example in which the client device 12 acquires explanatory text information will be described.
It is assumed that the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 stores the fixed sentence information shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. 17 is component element correspondence information, “name” in FIG. 17 is component element specifying information that is a keyword, and “description” in FIG. 17 is component element description information that is descriptive text information. 18 is term correspondence information, “name” in FIG. 18 is term specifying information that is a keyword, and “description” in FIG. 18 is term explanation information that is descriptive text information.

First, an example in which the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 acquires explanatory text information from the server device 11 will be described.
The explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 acquires explanatory text information that is response information to the request information transmitted to the server device 11. As described above, the server apparatus 11 transmits response information “<component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc.” in response to the request information “input & configuration”. For example, response information “<component> may be a non-volatile medium such as CD-R or DVD-R” is transmitted to request information “storage & configuration”, and request information “output & configuration” is transmitted. Response information “<component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker” is transmitted to the “configuration”, and the response information “formula information & terminology” is sent to the response information “only four arithmetic operations”. Is transmitted to the request information “input & configuration”, the response information “<configuration Can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc. ", for example, response information"<component> is a CD-R for request information "storage &configuration". Or a non-volatile medium such as a DVD-R ”is acquired, and response information“ <component> is an output device such as a display or a speaker ”in response to request information“ output & configuration ”. Can be realized, and the response information “Formula only for four arithmetic operations” is obtained for the request information “Formula information & term”. It is assumed that the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 has acquired response information “The explanatory note could not be acquired” for the request information “calculation & configuration” that was not transmitted.

Next, an example in which the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 acquires explanatory text information from the second fixed text information storage unit 1204 will be described.
First, the second fixed sentence information search unit 1205 searches the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 for fixed sentence information associated with the keyword extracted by the keyword extraction unit 1202. For example, in the above, the keyword extraction unit 1202 can extract “input”, “storage”, “calculation”, and “output” as the component specifying information, and can extract “mathematical information” as the term specifying information. The fixed phrase information is searched using as a search key. Since the second template text information storage unit 1204 stores the template text information shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the second template text information search unit 1205 performs “input | < “Component can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse” is used as a search result, and “<component> is non-volatile like CD-R or DVD-R” for “memory”. The search result may be “medium may be a medium”, and “output | <component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software” with respect to “output”. To do. For “calculation” and “math formula information”, since there is no corresponding fixed sentence information, the second fixed sentence information search unit 1205 sets “calculation | NULL” as a search result for “calculation”, For “mathematical information”, “mathematical information | NULL” is used as a search result.

  Next, the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 acquires explanatory text information included in the fixed text information that is a result of the search by the second fixed text information search unit 1205. That is, the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 acquires the explanatory note information “<component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse” with respect to the “input”, and stores it in “store”. On the other hand, the explanatory text information “<component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” is acquired, and the explanatory text information “calculation | description> is obtained for“ calculation ”. "Sentence could not be acquired." And "Explanation text information" output | <component> can be realized with an output device such as a display or a speaker or other software "is acquired for" output ". Then, the description information “Formula information | Explanation could not be acquired” is acquired for “Formula information”. For “Calculation” and “Formula information”, the description information “NULL” is acquired, so the description information acquisition unit 1206 cannot acquire the description information “Description” for “Calculation”. It is assumed that the explanation information “Explanation text could not be obtained” was obtained for “Formula information”.

Next, an example in which the client device 12 determines the explanatory text information to be used will be described.
First, an example in which the usage description information determination unit 1207 determines the description information to be used will be described.
For one keyword, the explanatory text information acquired by the explanatory text information acquisition unit 1206 from the server device 11 is used as server explanatory text information, and the explanatory text information acquired from the second fixed text information search unit 1205 is used as client explanatory text information. When the I-th server description information is expressed as server description information (I) and the I-th client description information is expressed as client description information (I), the usage description information determination unit 1207 Compares server description information (1) and client description information (1), server description information (2) and client description information (2),... If the sentence information (I) is a part of the client explanation text information (I), it is determined that the client explanation text information (I) is used as a search result, and the client explanation text information (I) when they are part of the server description information (I), it determines to use the server description information (I) as a search result.

  For example, in the case of “input”, the server description information is “<component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, other software,” and the client description information is “< The component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse. "Since the client description information is a part of the server description information, the usage description information determination unit 1207 determines the server description. It is determined that the information “<component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, or other software” is used as a search result.

  Further, for example, in the case of the above “memory”, the server description information is “<component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or a DVD-R”, and the client description. The sentence information is “<component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R”, and the client description information and the server description information are the same. The explanatory note information determination unit 1207 determines that “<component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or a DVD-R”, which is server explanatory information, is used as a search result. .

  For example, in the case of the above “calculation”, the server explanatory text information is “The explanatory text could not be acquired.”, And the client explanatory text information is “The explanatory text could not be acquired.” In this case, since both the server explanatory text information and the client explanatory text information are character strings indicating that the explanatory text information could not be acquired, the usage explanatory text information determining unit 1207 is the server explanatory text information “ "Could not be obtained" is determined to be used as a search result.

  For example, in the case of “output”, the server description information is “<component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker”, and the client description information is “<component. > Can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software. "Since the server description information is a part of the client description information, the usage description information determination unit 1207 It is determined that the description sentence information “<component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software” is used as a search result.

  Further, for example, in the case of the above “math formula information”, the server explanation text information is “a formula for only four arithmetic operations”, and the client explanation text information is “the explanation text could not be acquired”. is there. In this case, since the client explanatory text information is a character string indicating that the explanatory text information could not be acquired, the usage explanatory text information determination unit 1207 is a mathematical expression for only the four arithmetic operations that is the server explanatory text information. Is used as the search result.

  Next, an example will be described in which the usage description information acquisition unit 1208 outputs the result determined by the usage description information determination unit 1207 and receives information for the result.

  First, the usage description information acquisition unit 1208 includes, for example, information indicating a result of determination by the usage description information determination unit 1207, two types of description information that is determined by the usage description information determination unit 1207, and usage Information for accepting explanatory text information is output. For example, the usage description information acquisition unit 1208 performs screen output in a format as shown in FIG. A user or the like who has received this screen output selects, for example, whether to use server description information or client description information using a mouse or the like.

  Next, the usage description text information acquisition unit 1208, for example, uses the usage description text information selected by the user who received the screen output shown in FIG. Accept. For example, if the usage description text information acquisition unit 1208 receives the usage description text information and the description text information in the state illustrated in FIG. 19, the usage description text information acquisition unit 1208 is server description text information for “input” that is the component element identification information. “<Component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc.” is accepted. Similarly, the usage description text information acquisition unit 1208 has a server description text information “<component> is non-volatile like CD-R or DVD-R, in contrast to“ storage ”that is component identification information. The server description text information “Could not be acquired” is received for the component calculation information “calculation”, and the component specification information is received. In response to “output”, client description information “<component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software” is accepted, and “mathematical information” that is term specifying information is received. On the other hand, the server description text information “This is a mathematical expression only for four arithmetic operations” is accepted.

Next, an example in which the client apparatus 12 accumulates explanatory text information to be used will be described.
First, an example in which the accumulation method determination unit 1211 determines a method for accumulating explanatory text information will be described.
First, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 associates the explanatory text information indicated to be used as a search result by the usage description text information acquisition unit 1208 with the keyword corresponding to the explanatory text information, and sets the fixed text information. . At this time, the explanatory text information indicated to be used as a search result by the usage explanatory text information acquisition unit 1208 is also explanatory text information used by the application document information creation unit 1209.

  For example, if the usage description information acquisition unit 1208 accepts the information shown in FIG. 19, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 includes, for example, “input” that is component specifying information and server description information. “<Component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and mouse, and other software.”, “Input | <Component> is an input device such as a keyboard and mouse, and other software. Can be realized by the above.

  In addition, the storage method determination unit 1211 includes, for example, “storage” that is component specifying information and “<component>” that is server description information is a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or a DVD-R. And “memory | <constituent element> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” is defined text information.

  Further, for example, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 associates “calculation” as the component element specifying information with “descriptive text could not be acquired” as the server explanatory text information, and “calculation | acquisition text is acquired”. "Couldn't be done."

  In addition, the storage method determination unit 1211 is realized by, for example, “output” that is component identification information and “<component>” that is client description information, such as an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software. And “output | <component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software” is set as fixed sentence information.

  In addition, the storage method determination unit 1211 associates, for example, “formula information” that is term specifying information and “formula only for four arithmetic operations” that is server explanation information, and “formula information | “This is a mathematical expression only for the four arithmetic operations.” Is defined text information.

  Next, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 compares the above-described fixed sentence information with the fixed sentence information stored in the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 illustrated in FIGS. 17 and 18, for example, If some information of the above-mentioned fixed phrase information is stored in the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204, it is determined that the existing information is “overwritten and stored”, and the same information as the above fixed sentence information Is not stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204, it is determined that “accumulate as separate information”, and information including the fixed phrase information is stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 If so, it is determined that “do not accumulate”.

  For example, the above fixed phrase information is used as fixed phrase information, the fixed phrase information stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 is stored as fixed phrase information, and the I-th fixed phrase information is used. When the fixed phrase information (I) is expressed and the I-th stored fixed phrase information is expressed as the stored fixed phrase information (I), the accumulation method determination unit 1211 uses the fixed fixed phrase information (1) and the stored fixed phrases Sentence information (1), use fixed sentence information (1) and stored fixed sentence information (2),..., Use fixed sentence information (2), stored fixed sentence information (1), use fixed sentence information (2 ) And stored fixed sentence information (2),...

  For example, the fixed phrase information “input | <component >> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc.” associated with the “input” is shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. As described above, since a part of the fixed phrase information is stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 determines that the fixed phrase information is “overwritten and stored”. .

  Also, for example, the fixed sentence information “storage <component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” associated with the “storage” is as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 18, since the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 stores the same fixed sentence information as the fixed sentence information, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 “does not accumulate” the fixed sentence information. Judge.

  Also, for example, the fixed phrase information “calculation | description sentence could not be acquired” associated with the above “calculation” is the same fixed phrase information as the fixed phrase information as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. Is not stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204, the storage method determination unit 1211 determines that this fixed phrase information is “stored as separate information”.

  Also, for example, the fixed phrase information “output | <component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software” associated with the “output” is shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. As shown in FIG. 6, since the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 stores the same fixed sentence information as the fixed sentence information, the accumulation method determination unit 1211 determines that the fixed sentence information is not “stored”. To do.

  Further, for example, the fixed sentence information “Mathematical expression | Formula only for four arithmetic operations” associated with the above “Formula information” is the fixed sentence information as shown in FIG. 17 and FIG. Since the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 does not store the same fixed sentence information, the storage method determination unit 1211 determines that this fixed sentence information is “stored as separate information”.

  Next, an example will be described in which the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 outputs the result determined by the storage method determination unit 1211 and receives information on the result.

  First, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 includes, for example, information indicating a result determined by the storage method determination unit 1211, fixed sentence information that is determined by the storage method determination unit 1211, and information for receiving the storage method information. Is output. For example, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 performs screen output in a format as shown in FIG. The user or the like who has received this screen output selects, for example, whether the target fixed phrase information is “overwrite and accumulate”, “accumulate as separate information”, or “do not accumulate” by using a mouse or the like.

  Next, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 receives, for example, storage method information selected by a user or the like who has received the screen output shown in FIG. For example, if the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 receives the storage method information and the fixed phrase information in the state shown in FIG. 20, for example, “input | <component>” is an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, and the like. “It can be realized by software etc.” is accepted as “overwrite and store”. Similarly, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212, for example, “does not store” for “storage | <component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R”. For example, “Acquire as a separate information” is accepted for “Calculation | Explanation could not be obtained.”, “Output | <Component> is an output device such as a display or speaker, or other software "Not stored" is accepted for "May be realized by the above", and "Accumulate as separate information" is accepted for "Formula information | Formula only for four arithmetic operations."

  Next, an example in which the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1213 stores fixed phrase information will be described.

  In response to the storage method information received by the storage method information acquisition unit 1212, the first fixed phrase information storage unit 1213 stores the fixed phrase information indicating that in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204.

  For example, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 receives “overwrite and store” for “input | <component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software”. Therefore, “input | <component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc.” is overwritten and stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204.

  Further, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212, for example, “not store” for “memory | <component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R”. Since it has been received, “memory | <component> may be a non-volatile medium such as a CD-R or DVD-R” is not accumulated in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204.

  Further, for example, the accumulation method information acquisition unit 1212 accepts “accumulate as separate information” for “calculation | descriptive text could not be acquired”, so “calculation | descriptive text could not be acquired. Is stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204 as other information.

  Further, the storage method information acquisition unit 1212 has received “not stored” for “output | <component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software”, for example. , “Output | <component> can be realized by an output device such as a display or a speaker, or other software” is not stored in the second fixed phrase information storage unit 1204.

In addition, since the accumulation method information acquisition unit 1212 has received “accumulate as separate information” for “math formula information | math formula only for four arithmetic operations”, for example, “math formula information | four arithmetic operations only” Is stored in the second fixed sentence information storage unit 1204 as other information.
The results of the above accumulation are as shown in FIG. 21 and FIG.

  Finally, an example in which the client device 12 creates and outputs application document information will be described.

  First, an example in which the application document information creation unit 1209 extracts and generates information used when creating application document information will be described.

  The application document information creation unit 1209 includes common sentence correspondence information accumulated in an arbitrary storage area, explanation information that the usage explanation information acquisition unit 1208 indicates to use as a search result, and an invention information storage unit The application information is created by molding the invention information stored in 1201 in accordance with the contents shown in the style file information stored in an arbitrary storage area.

  Here, the common sentence correspondence information is common sentence information that is information indicating a fixed word common to two or more application document information, and common sentence specifying information that is information that uniquely specifies the common sentence information. For example, information as shown in FIG.

  The style file information is information specifying the format of the application document information, for example, information as shown in FIG. In the information of FIG. 23, the character string indicated in the format of “<******>” means, for example, replacement with information generated by the application document information creation unit 1209, and “<< **** A character string shown in the format of “*** >>” means, for example, replacement with common sentence information. In the information of FIG. 23, “#” in “(Embodiment #)” means, for example, replacement with the number of objects, and in this case, it means replacement with the number of embodiments. It shall be.

  First, the application document information creation unit 1209 calculates the character string “****” in the format “<< ****” from the style file information stored in an arbitrary storage area. A character string is extracted and used as a search key to search common sentence information from common sentence correspondence information stored in an arbitrary storage area. For example, in the style file information of FIG. 23, a character string in the form of “<< ****** >>” indicates that “<< the best mode header for carrying out the invention >>”, “<< block Since the figure description header >> ”,“ << embodiment footer >> ”, and“ << best form footer for carrying out the invention >> ”, the application document information creation unit 1209“ executes the invention ”. 24 as the search key, and the common text in FIG. 24, using the four character strings of “best form header”, “block diagram explanation header”, “embodiment footer”, and “best form footer for carrying out the invention”. Search common sentence information from correspondence information. As a result, the application document information creation unit 1209 determines from the common sentence correspondence information to the “best mode header for carrying out the invention” from the common sentence correspondence information of FIG. Can be searched, and "Figure (#) is a block diagram of <invention name> in the present embodiment" can be searched for "Block diagram explanation header". "The form footer of the present invention can be searched according to <name of invention> according to the present embodiment", and "the best form footer for carrying out the invention" can be searched. The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible, and it goes without saying that these are also included in the scope of the present invention. And

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 extracts claim information from the invention information stored in the invention information storage unit 1201. For example, the application document creation unit 1209 extracts the claim information of each claim using the characters “[Claim 1]” and “[Claim 2]” in the invention information of FIG. The claim information for claim 1 is expressed as claim information (1), the claim information for claim 2 is expressed as claim information (2), and all the claim information is claimed information ( ALL). Further, the claim information (ALL) is information replaced with “<claim>” in the style file information of FIG. 23, for example.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 extracts the name of the invention from the claim information extracted above. If the name of the invention is, for example, the last noun phrase in claim 1, the application document information creation unit 1209 extracts the name of the invention “information processing apparatus” from the invention information shown in FIG. 14, for example. . The “information processing apparatus” that is the name of the present invention is, for example, information that is replaced with “<name of invention>” in the style file information of FIG.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 calculates the number of embodiments and the claims belonging to each embodiment. For example, in the invention information of FIG. 14, since there is no designation indicating the embodiment, the application document information creation unit 1209 calculates that the number of embodiments is 1, and the claims belonging to Embodiment 1 are claims. 1 and claim 2 are calculated. If the invention information in FIG. 14 includes information indicating an embodiment, the number of embodiments and claims belonging to each embodiment may be calculated based on the information.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 extracts component element definition information from the invention information stored in the invention information storage unit 1201. This component element definition information is information indicating the definition of the operation of the component element corresponding to the component element name extracted when the keyword extracting unit 1202 extracts the component element specifying information. The component definition information is, for example, extracting a sentence in which the character string with the delimiter phrase information, which is the aforementioned component element extraction information, is added to the end of the sentence after the component element name, and the component name and delimiter phrase are extracted from the sentence. What deleted information may be extracted as component definition information. For example, in the invention information of FIG. 14, the constituent element names “mathematical information input unit”, “mathematical information storage unit”, “mathematical calculation unit”, “calculation result output unit”, “ After the “calculation result storage unit”, the delimiter phrase information “to”, “to”, “to”, “to”, “to <newline>”, “to” One sentence in which the character string to which “>” is given is the last of the sentence, “a mathematical formula information input unit that accepts input of mathematical formula information that is information about a mathematical formula”, “a mathematical formula information storage unit that stores information about the mathematical formula,” ", A formula calculation unit that performs calculation based on information related to the formula," a "calculation result output unit that outputs a result calculated by the formula calculation unit," and "stores the result calculated by the formula calculation unit `` Calculation result storage part '' The book information creation unit 1209 deletes the corresponding component element name and delimiter phrase information from these sentences, and the component element definition information corresponding to the “formula information input unit” “accepts input of mathematical formula information that is information related to the mathematical formula” The component element definition information “stores information related to the mathematical expression” corresponding to “the mathematical expression information storage unit” is extracted, and the component element definition information corresponding to “the mathematical expression calculation unit” “calculated based on the information related to the mathematical expression” ”Is extracted, and component definition information corresponding to“ calculation result output unit ”“ output the result calculated by the formula calculation unit ”is extracted and component definition information corresponding to“ calculation result storage unit ” “Store the result calculated by the mathematical formula calculation unit” is extracted. At this time, specified or predetermined unnecessary phrases may be deleted from the component element definition information. The information indicating the unnecessary word / phrase may be stored in an arbitrary storage area or specified at the time of creating the application document information. Further, as described above, the method for extracting the component element definition information may be information that uses information that is a clue to extraction, or may not be used, and any method may be used.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 generates hierarchy explanation information for each embodiment. The hierarchy explanation information is information indicating the hierarchy structure information, which is information indicating the hierarchy structure of the component element information, the description of the component element information included in the hierarchy structure information, the explanation of the terms included in the description sentence, and the like. Information including component element explanation block information. For example, in the above description, the application document information creation unit 1209 includes the component name of “math formula information input unit”, “math formula information storage unit”, “math formula calculation unit”, “calculation result output unit”, and “calculation result storage unit”. Therefore, hierarchical structure information may be generated based on the appearance location in the invention information of FIG.

Also good.
In this case, the information that is the basis of the layer structure information created in the above is “information processing apparatus−formula information input unit | formula information storage unit | formula calculation unit | calculation result output unit | calculation result storage unit”. The component element definition information corresponding to the component element name is given to the component element name indicated in the information, and if the component element identification information is included in the component element name, it further corresponds to the component element identification information If the term specifying information is included in the component definition information and the component description information, term explanation information corresponding to the term specifying information is further given. At this time, “<constituent element>” included in the constituent element explanation information means, for example, replacement with the constituent element name including the corresponding constituent element specifying information. For example, “math formula information input unit” "<Component> can be realized by an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, other software, etc." corresponding to the "input" included in the "the mathematical formula information input unit is an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse" It can be realized with other software. " At this time, each constituent element name may be given a sign such as “11” or “234”, or a particle may be given to supplement the meaning of the sentence.

  The application document information creation unit 1209 combines the hierarchical structure information and the hierarchical explanation block information to generate the hierarchical explanation information of FIG.

  Next, an example will be described in which the application document information creation unit 1209 creates application document information from the extracted / generated information based on the style file information.

  First, the application document information creation unit 1209 duplicates the style file information of FIG. 23 as application document intermediate information, for example.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 replaces the character string of the format “<< *******” in the application document intermediate information with the corresponding common text information. In the above, the application document information creation unit 1209 can search for “the best mode header for carrying out the invention” “the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.” "Figure (#) is a block diagram of <invention name> in this embodiment" can be searched for "Figure description header", and "Embodiment footer" can be searched. According to <Invention Name> According to Forms, XXXXX can be searched, and "the best form footer for carrying out the invention" is described. The present invention is limited to the above embodiments. It is obvious that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. Needless to say, the application document information creation unit 1209 can search the application document intermediate part 1209. In information, examples For example, “<< Best Mode Header for Carrying Out the Invention >>” and “Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.” “Header” and “Figure (#) are block diagrams of <Invention Name>” in the present embodiment are replaced with, for example, “Embodiment Footer” and “ According to <name of invention> according to the form, it can be replaced with “the best form footer for carrying out the invention” and “the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. It is needless to say that various modifications are possible without being limited to these, and these are also included in the scope of the present invention.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 replaces “#” of “(Embodiment #)” in the application document intermediate information with the number of objects. In the above, since the application document information creation unit 1209 has calculated that the number of embodiments is 1, the application document information creation unit 1209 uses, for example, “#” and “1” in the application document intermediate information. Is replaced.

  Next, the application document information creation unit 1209 replaces the character string of the format “<********>” in the application document intermediate information and the corresponding information. The application document information creation unit 1209 extracts the claim information (ALL) corresponding to, for example, “<claim>” from the invention information in FIG. “<Claim>” in the document intermediate information is replaced with claim information (ALL). Further, in the above, the application document information creation unit 1209 has extracted, for example, “information processing apparatus” corresponding to “<name of invention>” from the invention information of FIG. In the above-mentioned application document intermediate information, “<invention name>” and “information processing apparatus” are replaced. Further, in the above, the application document information creation unit 1209 has generated the layer explanation information of FIG. 25 that is information corresponding to “<component description>”, for example. The “<component explanation>” in the information is replaced with the layer explanation information of FIG.

  Finally, the application document information creation unit 1209 uses the application document intermediate information as application document information. As a result, it is assumed that the application document information of FIG. 26 is created.

  Finally, an example in which the application document information output unit 1210 outputs application document information will be described.

  The application document information output unit 1210 outputs the application document information of FIG. 26 created by the application document information creation unit 1209.

Although an example in which the explanatory note information is “The explanatory note could not be acquired.” Is shown, the explanatory note information acquired by the explanatory note information acquisition unit 1206 from the server device 11 and the second fixed phrase information search unit 1205 is NULL. In this case, the usage explanation text information determination unit 1207 may set the explanation text information that is NULL as “Explanation text could not be acquired”.

  Also, in this specific example, an example has been shown in which the usage description information determination unit 1207 does not consider whether or not the description text information to be determined is “Explanation could not be acquired.” For example, the information determination unit 1207 determines whether one of the two types of explanatory text information to be determined is “The explanatory text could not be acquired.”, And “The explanatory text could not be acquired.” If both of the two types of explanatory text information to be determined are “Could not get the explanatory text”, it is determined that the explanatory text information is to be used. Also good.

  Further, in this specific example, when the application document information creation unit 1209 creates application document information, the explanation text information used at the time of creation does not include NULL, but for example, the explanation text information acquisition The explanation information used when the application document information creation section 1209 creates the application document information without setting the explanation text information as NULL in the section 1206 or the usage explanation information determination section 1207 as “the explanation text could not be acquired”. The sentence information that is NULL may be set as “Explanation could not be acquired”.
