  Embodiments of an information processing apparatus, a program, and an information processing system of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the information processing system 1. The information processing system 1 includes an information processing device 2 configured as a server and one or a plurality of terminals 3. The information processing device 2 and the terminal 3 perform data communication with each other via a communication line such as the Internet.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the information processing apparatus 2. The information processing apparatus 2 includes a storage device 21 that stores a database, a control unit 22 that controls the entire apparatus, an interface unit 24, a document management unit 25, a search unit 26 as an example of a search unit, and a registration unit. A reference relationship management unit 27 as an example.

  The function of each unit is realized by a computer including a calculation unit such as a CPU, a storage unit such as a memory, and an input / output unit that performs input and output of data, reading and executing a program. The program may be provided to the computer from a computer-readable information recording medium such as a CD-ROM, or may be provided to the computer via a communication line such as the Internet.

  The document management unit 25 provides a virtual storage location in the storage device 21. These storage locations are called folders. Specifically, when the document management unit 25 receives a document file transmitted from the terminal 3 and a registration request including a folder designated as a storage destination of the document file from the interface unit 24, the document management unit 25 designates the document file. The information is stored in the storage device 21 in association with the folder. The document management unit 25 holds a table in which correspondence relationships between document files and folders are described. Each folder is also associated with an upper folder. Each folder can have a plurality of upper folders, thereby forming a network structured database.

  The search unit 26 executes a search to determine whether a search word is included in the document file. That is, the search unit 26 searches for whether or not the same character string as the search word is included in the character string of the body text represented by the document file. Specifically, the search unit 26 searches whether a character string representing the name of a document file to be registered that is to be registered in the storage device 21 is included in a document file that has already been registered in the storage device 21. . The fuzzy search is not limited to the complete match with the search word. The fuzzy search is a search method for extracting an object that does not completely match the search condition under a certain rule, and a known method can be used.

  The reference relationship management unit 27 registers reference information from the registered document file to the document file to be registered based on the search result by the search unit 26. The reference relationship management unit 27 holds a reference information management table for managing reference information. In the reference information management table, as will be described later, a document file is associated with a document file referring to the document file in the text.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information processing apparatus 2 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when a document file is registered in the storage device 21, the search unit 26 includes a character string representing the name of the document file to be registered in the document file that has already been registered in the storage device 21. Search whether or not. FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a specific operation example of the information processing apparatus 2.

  In S1, the search unit 26 determines a search word. The search unit 26 determines a character string representing a document title or a character string obtained by removing an extension from a file name as a search word.

  In S2, the search unit 26 executes a search using the determined search word. The search is performed on the document file stored in each folder provided in the storage device 21. Here, the registration destination folder of the document file and the nearby folder are set as the search range. A nearby folder refers to a folder that is closely related to a registration destination folder in the network structure. As the neighboring folders, for example, a folder to which the registration destination folder belongs (a parent folder of the registration destination folder, which may exist in plural as described above) and a folder lower than the second generation from the registration destination folder (registration destination) The child folder and the grandchild folder) may be determined as corresponding.

  In S3, the reference relationship management unit 27 evaluates the degree of association of the document file found by the search. The degree of association is evaluated based on the following criteria, for example. (1) Is there a reference relationship in both directions? That is, when the document files refer to each other, the degree of association is highly evaluated. (2) Does the character string representing the reference exist near the character string matched by the search? The character string representing the reference is, for example, “reference”, “reference”, “reference literature”, “citation”, and the like. When such a character string exists in the same line or the same paragraph as the character string matched in the search, the relevance is highly evaluated. (3) Is the matched character string in the search enclosed in quotation marks? The quotes are [], “”, “”, (), ‘’, and the like. When the character string matched in the search is surrounded by such quotation marks, the relevance is highly evaluated. (4) Are storage locations close to each other? The closer the storage location of the document file found by the search is to the storage location of the document file to be registered, the higher the degree of association is evaluated. Note that the priority order decreases in the order of (1) to (4). That is, a document file that matches the criterion (1) is evaluated with a higher degree of relevance than a document file that matches the criterion (4).

  In S4, the reference relationship management unit 27 creates a reference information management table based on the search / evaluation results. Specifically, the reference relationship management unit 27 associates information on registered document files found by search with document files to be registered. At this time, information on the degree of association is also associated with the document file to be registered. The registered document files found by the search are arranged in descending order of relevance.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the reference information management table includes items such as a document ID, a reference source document ID, a reference related part, a quotation mark, and a distance. The document ID is identification information of the document file, and the reference source document ID is identification information of the document file that refers to the document file in the text. The reference related part, the quotation mark, and the distance are items corresponding to (2) to (4) of the evaluation criteria for the degree of association. In the reference information management table, every time a document file is registered, already registered document files that refer to the document file in the text are listed.

  In S5, the reference relationship management unit 27 updates the reverse table. The reverse table is a table for managing a reference relationship opposite to the reference information management table, and is created so that reference information representing the reverse reference relationship can be quickly acquired. That is, in the reverse table, a document file is associated with a document file that the document file refers to in the text.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the reverse table includes items such as a document ID and a reference document ID. The document ID is identification information of the document file, and the reference destination document ID is identification information of the document file that the document file refers to in the text. Note that items related to reference, quotes, and distance are not provided in the reverse table because they can be read from the reference information management table. In the reverse table, every time a document file is registered, a list of document files that are already referenced by the already registered document file is updated.

  In S <b> 6, the interface unit 24 reads a list of registered document files found by the search from the reference information management table, generates screen information for informing the user of the list, and transmits the screen information to the terminal 3. On the screen of the terminal 3, as shown in FIG. 7, a list of registered document files that may refer to the document file to be registered is displayed. When there are a plurality of registered document files found by the search, they are arranged according to the degree of association. Only document files having a relatively high degree of association may be displayed.

  Next, another operation of the information processing apparatus 2 will be described. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating another operation of the information processing apparatus 2.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when a document file is registered in the storage device 21, the search unit 26 registers a character string representing the name of the document file already registered in the storage device 21 in the storage device 21. It is searched whether it is included in the document file to be registered. The specific operation of the information processing apparatus 2 is the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. On the screen of the terminal 3, as shown in FIG. 7, a list of registered document files that may be referred to by the document file to be registered is also displayed.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art.
