The information of the constructed anchor and link is stored in the data management device 1.
Manage with.

FIG. 2 shows an example. A three-dimensional model of the liver, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine is arranged in a three-dimensional virtual space to represent the internal organs of the human body.

Each of the three-dimensional anchor construction devices 120
Constructs an anchor, and the attribute setting device 130 defines the attribute. The stomach, liver, and the like described in each object indicate attributes. The link construction device 140 enables a search for related information by building a link to the related information.

When performing a search in the three-dimensional space constructed by the search space construction unit 100, first, the fuzzy search device 210 first searches for an anchor to search for related information,
Or specify a range. For example, by moving a cuboid of a certain size prepared by the system so as to include the entire liver and stomach, and by moving the vertices of the cuboid to enlarge or reduce it, it indicates that "I want to search around here" . Then, the system sets all anchors included in the rectangular parallelepiped as designated anchors.

Alternatively, a plurality of anchors can be designated by specifying one by one. By selecting a plurality of anchors in this manner, an ambiguous search target such as “this neighborhood” can be specified, and a search with a wider search target can be performed.

When the link execution is instructed by the link execution instructing device 220, the link executing device 230 executes the link, and the result display device 240 displays the data of the link destination of the anchor.

While viewing from various directions, it is possible to specify a rough search target such as “this neighborhood”, obtain related information corresponding to the search target, and finally search for necessary book information.

Embodiment 2 A book information search device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a book information search device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, the three-dimensional anchor constructing apparatus 120 of the first embodiment has a partial anchor constructing apparatus 121 for constructing an anchor on a part of an object.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the partial anchor construction device 121.

First, in step S2000, FIG.
As shown in (a), a spherical object S is created.
Next, in step S2010, the sphere is moved to the divided part of the object A constructing the partial anchor. Next, in step S2020, the sphere is enlarged / reduced so as to be exactly included in the divided portion.
At 030, as shown in FIG. 6B, deformation expansion is performed so that the sphere is brought into close contact with the divided portion.

FIG. 6A shows a heart of a three-dimensional model, which is an object A, and a spherical object S arranged in the left atrium.
Here is an example.

Next, the algorithm of step S2030 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S2100, the position of each polygon from the sphere is determined by the distance (radius:
R), and is moved to a position α times as large as R), and in step S2110, a new polygon is generated for a new vertex.

Next, in step S2120, it is determined whether each polygon of the sphere object S is in contact with the object A. In this contact determination, it is determined for each polygon of the object S whether or not the polygon has hit the surface of the object A.

Next, in step S2130, the polygon of the contacted sphere object is fixed at that position.
At this time, the steps from step S2100 are repeated for only the polygons that did not touch (step S214)
0).

Next, in step S2150, when all the polygons are fixed, a new polygon is generated from each vertex. FIG. 6B shows the generated anchor. As the shape of the anchor, as the number of polygons of the spherical object S increases, a shape closer to the left atrium can be obtained.

As described above, according to the partial anchor construction apparatus 121 of the second embodiment, when information is set in a certain portion of an object, there is no need to re-create the object with a three-dimensional modeler or the like. There is an effect that an anchor of a certain portion can be easily constructed.

Embodiment 3 FIG. A book information search device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a book information search device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

The three-dimensional anchor construction apparatus 120 of the first embodiment has an inclusive anchor construction apparatus 122 which constructs an anchor for a plurality of objects in the third embodiment.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the inclusion anchor construction device 122.

In step S2300, a rectangular parallelepiped object B having a certain size is generated as shown in FIG.
Scale and move to specify the range desired by the searcher. Note that other shapes such as a spherical object may be used. When determining whether or not the outer frame information of the included object is within the range, in the case of a rectangular parallelepiped, information on eight vertices of the rectangular parallelepiped is used. For a sphere object,
Use information about the center and radius of the sphere. Further, since the outer frame of the object for which inclusion determination is performed occupies a range larger than the original object, the criterion for performing this determination is a range slightly larger than the object B. For example, a comparison is made with a rectangular parallelepiped that is α times (1.1 times, 1.2 times, etc.) the specified object B.

Next, in step S2320, it is checked whether or not the outer frame of the object in the space is included in the object B.
At 0, the contained object N is taken as the containing object.

Next, in step S2340, among the objects not included, the object GX including five or more vertices of the outer frame includes most of the objects even if the outer frame is not included. Therefore, it is checked whether all polygons are included in the object B. As a simpler determination, a check is not performed using polygons, and this GX is regarded as a contained object. Objects not containing five or more GX are not regarded as contained objects. Also, check all polygons if the vertex of the outer frame is 5
Although the determination is performed on at least one object GX, the determination criterion in this case can be determined using information other than the vertices such as the middle point of the outer frame. Further, when even one vertex of the outer frame is included, all the polygons are checked, and an anchor may be constructed in units of polygons within the range instead of in units of objects.

Next, in step S2350, of the objects GX, the object G including all the polygons is also regarded as the included object. Next, step S23
At 60, the selected inclusion objects are collectively set as one inclusion anchor in the data management device 1.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to specify a range of the large intestine and the small intestine and define one anchor called the intestine.

As described above, according to the inclusive anchor construction apparatus 122 of the third embodiment, it is possible to construct an anchor including a plurality of objects instead of an object unit. Therefore, a new anchor is constructed by a three-dimensional modeler or the like. Therefore, an object having the same semantic information, classification information, and the like is defined as one anchor without having to construct a new object, thereby making it easier for the searcher to easily search.

Embodiment 4 A book information search device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a book information search device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention. The illustration after the book search instruction device 250 is omitted.

Fuzzy search device 2 of the first embodiment
10, the fourth embodiment includes an anchor specifying device 211 and an anchor range specifying device 212 for specifying a range when specifying an anchor for executing a link.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG.
5 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the anchor range designation device 212.

First, in step S2400, a rectangular parallelepiped object B having a certain size is generated. In step S2410, the object B is enlarged or reduced and moved to specify a range desired by the searcher. In addition,
Other shapes, such as a spherical object, may be used. When determining whether or not the outer frame information of the included anchor is within the range, in the case of a rectangular parallelepiped, information on eight vertices of the rectangular parallelepiped is used. In the case of a sphere object, information on the center and radius of the sphere is used. Further, since the outer frame of the anchor for which inclusion determination is performed occupies a range larger than the original anchor, the reference for performing this determination is a range slightly larger than the object B. For example, a comparison is made with a rectangular parallelepiped that is α times (1.1 times, 1.2 times, etc.) the specified object B.

Next, in step S2420, it is checked whether or not the outer frame of the anchor in the space is included in the object B. In step S2430, the included anchor AG is set as a designated anchor.

Next, in step S2440, it is checked whether all polygons are included in the object B among the anchors not included in the anchor AT including five or more vertices of the outer frame. In step S2450,
Anchor A including all polygons among anchor AT
P is also a designated anchor. As a simpler determination, polygons are not checked, and this AT is used as a designated anchor, and those not containing five or more ATs are not considered as designated anchors. In addition, all polygons are checked for anchors AT including five or more vertices of the outer frame. In this case, the criterion is determined using information other than the vertices, such as the middle point of the outer frame. be able to.

Next, in step S2460, all the selected anchors are set in the data management device 1 as designated anchors.

As described above, according to the anchor range specifying device 212 of the fourth embodiment, not only one anchor but also a plurality of anchors can be roughly specified as a positional “round here” in three-dimensional information. For example, in FIG. 12, by specifying the periphery of the stomach as a large range in FIG. 12, a rough anchor designation of “around the stomach” can be specified, and in addition to the stomach, the spleen, the gallbladder, etc. Are selected, and related information corresponding to the anchor can be searched.

Further, since it is possible to specify a three-dimensionally continuous range as compared with a case where anchors are selected one by one,
When three-dimensional models are arranged in a complicated manner, it is possible to select an object that is difficult to select with a mouse click by specifying a rough range. Furthermore, when it is desired to select all models in a certain range, there is a dropout in specifying one by one, but if the selection is in a specified range, all models in the range can be easily selected.

Embodiment 5 A book information search device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 13 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a book information search device according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention. The illustration after the book search instruction device 250 is omitted.

The search space construction unit 10 of the first embodiment
0, the fifth embodiment has the related anchor setting device 150, and the search unit 200 has the related anchor search device 270.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG.
15 is a flowchart illustrating an algorithm according to the fifth embodiment.

In step S 2500, the relevant anchor setting device 150 specifies a certain anchor, and specifies an anchor related to the anchor. Next, step S
At 2510, the data management apparatus 1 stores the relationship between the anchors.

Next, in step S2520, using the data, the relevant anchor retrieval device 27 is searched for all the anchors specified by the anchor specifying device 211.
At 0, the relevant anchor is searched and presented to the searcher, and at step S2530, the searcher can select the required one among them.

Accordingly, for example, when the anchor of the large intestine is set as the related anchor by the related anchor setting device 150 with respect to the anchor of the small intestine in FIG. 2, when the searcher selects the small intestine, the anchor of the large intestine is always set. Present as an associated anchor.

As described above, according to the related anchor setting device 150 and the related anchor search device 270 of the fifth embodiment, even if the searcher does not know the relevance of each object or anchor, etc. Since the relevance can be automatically defined according to the intention, it is possible to search for meaningful relevant information.

Embodiment 6 FIG. A book information search device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 15 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a book information search device according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention. The illustration after the book search instruction device 250 is omitted. Also,
In the figure, 4 is a keyword data management device, 5 is thesaurus data, 6 is search target data, and 280 is a search target input device.

In the search section 200 of the first embodiment, the sixth embodiment has an anchor determination device 290 for selecting and determining an anchor suitable for the purpose of the searcher from a plurality of selected anchors.

Next, the operation will be described. The attribute is set by the attribute setting device 130 for the three-dimensional anchor constructed by the three-dimensional anchor construction device 120 and the link constructed by the link construction device 140, and stored in the data 2 by the data management device 1. The attribute set by the attribute setting device 130 is selected from the items of the thesaurus data 5. If it is necessary to set an attribute that is not in the thesaurus data 5, the word is added to the thesaurus data 5.

The searcher inputs words corresponding to the purpose of the search using the search purpose input device 280, and the keyword data management device 4 stores it in the search purpose data 6. The input for the search purpose can be input and changed at any time according to the intention of the searcher.

Next, for the anchors selected by the fuzzy search device 210, the anchor determination device 290 uses the keyword data management device 4 to perform matching between the object stored in the search purpose data 6 and the attribute of the anchor. And determine the anchor that fits the purpose.

In the keyword data management device 4, the logical sum (OR) of the object words stored in the search object data 6 is obtained and matched with the attribute of each anchor. If there is the same attribute, the selection is decided.

When there is an anchor having an attribute that cannot be matched with any object in the search object data 6, all objects and attributes of the remaining anchors are made to correspond to the items of the thesaurus data 5.

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the algorithm of the keyword data management device 4. This will be described with reference to FIG. 17 as an example. In FIG. 17, it is assumed that the range of the anchor is designated and the three-dimensional model of the liver, stomach, and intestine is selected. Assume that the searcher has entered "stomach" and "liver" as search purposes.

The objects represented in the three-dimensional space are the liver, stomach, and intestine. The liver object has partial anchors “right lobe” and “left lobe” in addition to the anchor for the object. The name described in each anchor is the attribute name of each anchor. Because the stomach and liver anchors match the object, "right lobe" and "left lobe"
And "gut" remain as unmatched attributes.

In step S2600, the objects "stomach" and "liver" are matched with the thesaurus.
Both are in the thesaurus, so their score is 100
And

Next, in step S2610, for example, if α = B = 0.8, the points shown in each item in FIG. 18 are obtained. The values of α and B are values to be determined depending on how the thesaurus is defined and on the application.

As shown in step S2620, for example, in the case where both liver lobules below the liver are inflected words, the liver is scored by each influence and the average value is taken as the value.

Next, in step S2630, a score threshold value is determined, and an anchor having an attribute that matches the threshold value is selected. For example, in FIG. 18, when the threshold value is 70, “right lobe”
And “left lobe” are selected, but “gut” is not.

When it is difficult to select a blood vessel that is thin and exists in various places, such as a blood vessel, by specifying a large area around the stomach and inputting the purpose of “blood vessel”, only the blood vessel around the stomach can be easily obtained. Can be selected.

If a superordinate concept or the like is added to the attribute, for example, if the object is “digestive organ”, and if each object in FIG. 17 has the attribute definition of “digestive organ” as the superordinate concept, the digestive organ of the thesaurus is used. Is 80 points, so the intestine is also selected. Also, in the case of the superordinate concept, it is possible to define such that the score is multiplied by Γ.

As described above, the plurality of selected ambiguous anchors can be narrowed down based on the purpose of retrieval, and it is effective because necessary information can be easily found from a lot of ambiguous information.
