  In response to a user operation, the CPU 50 of the terminal device T (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “terminal device T”) accesses the server device S and requests a support screen (step S1). In response to this, the CPU 30 of the server device S (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “server device S”) transmits a support screen (step S11). The terminal device T displays the received support screen on the display 54 (step S2).

  FIG. 5 shows an example of a support screen. An article input area 80 for inputting an article being created, an important word display area 82 for displaying important words, and a related article display area 84 for displaying related articles are provided.

  When the user inputs an article in the article input area 80, the terminal device T transmits the input article to the server device (step S3). This transmission process is performed in real time every time an article is input. The server device S receives the transmitted article (step S12).

  The server device S performs morphological analysis on the received article (step S13). It should be noted that a part that has already been subjected to morphological analysis may be used, and morphological analysis may be performed only for the part newly input this time. Subsequently, the server device S calculates the importance of each noun among the extracted morphemes (step S14).

  In this embodiment, the importance is calculated for each noun in the article input with reference to the article DB 12 in which past articles are recorded. The article DB 12 is preferably a DB containing articles published in the past. For example, the DB 12 that collects past articles on the news site can be used.

  Importance is calculated based on 1) and 2) below.

1) The more important the noun appears in the input article, the higher the importance
2) In the past article, increase the importance as the number of articles (article ratio) in which the noun is used increases (if the noun is used in the title, increase the importance)
For example, it is calculated by the following formula.

IF = NF
Here, IF is the importance, and N is the number of times the noun appears in the input article. F is represented by the following equation.

F = (T / M) ・ (M / A)
Here, A is the total number of articles recorded in the article DB, M is the number of articles in which the noun is used, and T is the number of articles in which the noun is used as a title.

  After calculating the importance for each noun as described above, a predetermined number of important words are extracted in descending order of importance (step S15). In this embodiment, the number of important words to be extracted is changed according to the number of nouns in the input article. If the number of nouns is 50 or more, 20 important words are selected. When the number of nouns is less than that, the number of important words to be extracted is reduced as the number of nouns decreases.

  Next, the server device S searches the article DB 12 for articles related to the input article (step S16). In this embodiment, an article including the important word is acquired by using the extracted important word (selecting one or more in descending order of importance).

  Next, the server apparatus S generates a support screen in which the important words extracted as described above are displayed in the important word display area 82 and a link to the related article is displayed in the related article display area 84, and is transmitted to the terminal device T. Transmit (step S17). In response to this, the terminal device T displays the support screen updated by adding the link to the important word and the related article (step S4).

  FIG. 6 shows a support screen displayed on the terminal device T. In FIG. 6, an article “IoT called Monono Internet” has been entered in the article entry area 80 halfway. Through the above-described important word extraction process, “Internet”, “thing”, and “IoT” are extracted as important words and displayed in the important word display area 82. In this embodiment, the higher the importance, the larger the display. In addition, a link to a related article is displayed in the related article display area 84.

  In this state, if the terminal device T does not perform special processing such as clicking on an important word, the terminal device T repeats the processing from step S3. When the user further inputs an article, the important word extraction process and the related article extraction process are performed in real time according to this, the important word is displayed in the important word display area 82, and the related article display area 84 is displayed. Links to related articles are displayed.

  FIG. 7 shows a support screen in a state where the input has advanced. In the article input area 80, an article in the middle of input saying "IoT of what is called the Internet of things is advancing. The influence is not just that things are connected to the Internet." Correspondingly, the extracted important words “industry”, “Internet”, “influence”, “thing”, and “IoT” are displayed in the important word display area 82.

  As described above, when an article is input to the article input area 80, the important words are re-extracted and displayed in real time. Therefore, important words are always extracted and displayed corresponding to the input articles.

  In the state of FIG. 7, when the user clicks the link 85 to the related article with the mouse 43 in the terminal device T, the terminal device T accesses the link destination of the article and displays the article in the related article display area 84. .

  In the state of FIG. 7, when the user clicks one of the important words with the mouse 43 in the terminal device T (step S5), the terminal device T transmits a related word display request to the server device S (step S6). ). This related word display request includes the clicked important word as information.

  In response to this request, the server device S extracts related words related to the important word (step S19). Related words are extracted as follows.

  First, the server device S refers to the article DB 12 and extracts words (nouns) that appear in the same article as the article in which the important word appears. Further, for each word, the number of articles that appear in the same article as the important word is calculated, and this is used as the relevance level. Then, a predetermined number (10 in this embodiment) of words having a high degree of association is selected and set as a related word.

  The server device S extracts a related word related to the keyword specified in this way, generates a support screen showing the related word in association with the keyword, and transmits it to the terminal device T (step S20). ). The terminal device T displays the received support screen on the display 54 (step S7).

  FIG. 8 shows a support screen displayed on the terminal device T. A related word display area 88 is shown for the important word “Internet” in the important word display area 82. In this related word display area 88, a circle 90 indicating an important word and a circle 92 indicating a related word are displayed around it.

  When the mouse cursor is moved to a circle 92 indicating a related word, as shown in FIG. 9, the server apparatus S displays a related word display frame 94 and shows the related word therein. Note that the size of the circle 92 indicating the related word is determined according to the degree of association (the higher the degree of association, the larger). Further, the line connecting the circle 92 indicating the related word and the circle 90 indicating the important word has a thickness corresponding to the degree of association (the higher the degree of association, the thicker).

  In this embodiment, when a line connecting an important word and a related word is clicked (selected) by the user, an article including these two terms is searched from the article DB 12, and a link to the corresponding article is displayed. (Not shown).

  When the mouse cursor is moved to a circle 90 indicating an important word, the server apparatus S displays a list of important words and related words as shown in FIG.

  As described above, related words can be displayed by user operation with respect to important words displayed in real time. In this embodiment, important words are displayed in real time, while related words are displayed only when operated by the user. Accordingly, related words can be displayed only when necessary without impairing the real-time property of the important word display.
