The table on the left side illustrated in FIG. 15 shows an example of the setting priority determined in step S23 of FIG. The table on the right side illustrated in FIG. 15 shows an example of the reference priority updated based on the setting priority. An example of the process of step S29 illustrated in FIG. 14 will be described with reference to FIG.

The priority determination unit 38 may set the priority of the question identification information corresponding to the question output target in step S24 to be equal to or lower than the priority of the question identification information corresponding to the other question. For example, the priority determination unit 38 may change the question identification information associated with the highest set priority to the lowest reference priority. Then, the priority determination unit 38 may, for example, raise the setting priority of the question identification information associated with the setting priority of the second place or lower to a higher reference priority in order.

As shown in the table on the right side illustrated in FIG. 15, for example, the priority determination unit 38 associates the setting priority "6" associated with the question identification information "Qa" with the question identification information "Qa". The determined reference priority is determined to be "1". Here, among the numerical values of the setting priority associated with the question identification information "Qa" to "Qk", the setting priority "1" is the minimum value. Therefore, in the state after the update of the setting priority, the priority determination unit 38 associates the setting priority associated with the question identification information “Qa” with the question identification information “Qa” to “Qk”. Change to the lowest of the standard priorities.

Further, as shown in the table on the right side illustrated in FIG. 15, the priority determination unit 38 added "+1" to the numerical value of the setting priority associated with the question identification information "Qb" to "Qk". The value is used as the reference priority of the question identification information “Qb” to “Qk”. That is, the priority determination unit 38 raises the setting priorities associated with the question identification information “Qb” to “Qk” to relatively higher priorities in order. As a result, the priority determination unit 38 changes the setting priority associated with the question identification information "Qb" to the highest of the reference priorities associated with the question identification information "Qa" to "Qk".
