Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a foreign language keyword document search processing device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Foreign language keyword document search processing device 1 of the present embodiment
Is obtained from a dictionary lookup unit 11, a search processing unit 12, a search result output unit 13, a dictionary file 14, a keyword file 15, a search result work file 16, a Japanese master file 17, and a foreign master file 18. It is configured. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes an input / output device including a keyboard, a display, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 2, the dictionary file 14 is
A plurality of foreign language keywords and Japanese keywords are registered in pairs. It goes without saying that a foreign language keyword and a Japanese keyword are allowed to overlap.

Referring to FIG. 3, keyword file 1
Reference numeral 5 indicates that a plurality of pieces of keyword information including keywords, Japanese / Western categories, and registration numbers are registered.

Referring to FIG. 4, in the search result work file 16, a plurality of pieces of search result information including a registration number, a Japanese / Western classification, and a narrowing down number are registered.

Referring to FIG. 5, Japanese master file 1
Reference numeral 7 stores a plurality of pieces of document information including a registration number, a book name, an author name, a bibliography (abstract), a location, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 6, foreign book master file 1
Reference numeral 8 stores a plurality of pieces of document information including a registration number, a book name, an author name, a bibliography, and a location.

Referring to FIG. 7, the processing of the foreign language keyword document search processing device 1 of the present embodiment includes a foreign language keyword input step S101 and a dictionary lookup processing step S10.
2 and registration number search step S using Japanese keywords
103, a search result writing step S104, a search number display step S105, a search end instruction input determination step S106, and a Japanese book master file search step S10.
7, a foreign book master file search step S108, and a search result output processing step S109.

Next, the operation of the foreign language keyword document search processing device 1 of the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

When the searcher inputs a foreign language keyword from the input / output device 2 (step S101), the dictionary lookup means 1
1 converts the foreign language keyword into one or more Japanese keywords with reference to the dictionary file 14 (step S102). For example, as a foreign language keyword "ec
When “onmy” is input, it is converted into two Japanese keywords, “Keisai” and “Setsuyaku”. If the corresponding foreign language keyword is not registered in the dictionary file 14, the dictionary lookup means 11 displays on the input / output device 2 that the keyword is not a keyword.

Next, the search processing means 12 searches the keyword file 15 using the single or plural Japanese keywords converted by the dictionary lookup means 11, and extracts the corresponding registration numbers and Japanese / Western sections (step S10).
3) The extracted registration number, Japanese / Western classification, and the number of narrowings (the number of searches) are written out as search result information in the search result work file 16 (step S10).
4) The number of extracted registration numbers (the number of searches) is displayed on the input / output device 2 (step S105). For example, when the word "Setsuyaku" is not included in the keyword file 15 as a Japanese keyword, the number of searches by the Japanese keyword "Setsuyaku" is zero.

Looking at the number of searches displayed on the input / output device 2,
When the searcher further inputs a foreign language keyword from the input / output device 2 (step S101), the dictionary lookup unit 11
As described above, the foreign language keyword is converted into one or more Japanese keywords with reference to the dictionary file 14 (step S102).

Next, the search processing means 12 searches the keyword file 15 by using one or a plurality of Japanese keywords converted by the dictionary lookup means 11, and extracts corresponding registration numbers and Japanese / Western divisions (step S10).
3) The extracted registration number, Japanese / Western classification, and the number of narrowings (the number of searches) are set as the current search result information, and the logical product of this and the search result information already written in the search result work file 16 is obtained. Then, the result is written to the search result work file 16 as new search result information (step S104). Subsequently, the search processing means 12
Displays on the input / output device 2 the number of registration numbers (the number of searches) in the search result information written in the search result work file 16 (step S105). As described above, by repeatedly inputting a foreign language keyword a plurality of times, it is possible to specify a plurality of foreign language keywords and narrow down the number of searches.

Looking at the number of searches displayed on the input / output device 2,
When the searcher inputs a search end instruction from the input / output device 2 (Yes in step S106), the search result output unit 13
Retrieves the Japanese book master file 17 using the registration number indicating that the Japanese / Western classification indicates Japanese, and extracts document information (step S
107), searching the foreign book master file 18 using the registration number indicating that the Japanese / Western classification indicates a foreign book to extract document information (step S108), editing the extracted document information, and displaying it on the input / output device 2 as a search result (Step S10
9). As a result, the searcher can know the book title, author name, bibliography, distribution place, etc. of Japanese and foreign books related to the foreign language keyword.

In the above embodiment, the dictionary file 14
In the example above, the foreign language keywords are English, but the foreign language keywords are German, French, Russian,
It goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to other languages such as Chinese.

Although the case where the Japanese keywords in the dictionary file 14 are katakana has been exemplified, it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied even when the Japanese keywords include hiragana, kanji, and the like. .

Further, the Japanese / Western section is written in the search result work file 16 and used by the search result output means 13 for searching the Japanese master file 17 and the foreign master file 18, but the registration number can be used to identify the Japanese book and the foreign book. With such an arrangement, it is possible to prevent the Japanese and Western sections from being written out in the search result work file 16.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, a dictionary lookup unit, a search processing unit and a search result output unit are provided, and a keyword file is searched after converting an input foreign language keyword into a Japanese keyword. This makes it possible to search for documents using foreign language keywords even when trying to search for documents using a document search processing device such as a library in Japan. There is an effect that keyboard operation for input becomes easy.

Also, since foreign language keywords are automatically converted into Japanese keywords, foreign searchers only have to use words in their native language, which makes it easy to determine whether or not the foreign language keyword is correct. Therefore, there is an effect that an input error that occurs when a Japanese keyword is input can be suppressed.
