Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a document creating apparatus for assisting a plurality of users in creating a document of interest.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the development of computer networks in recent years, a large amount of information has been distributed, and users are under flooding of information. Various information filters have been developed to prevent such information flooding. An information filter is a system that describes the characteristics of a document of interest to a user as a profile, collects only information that matches the profile, and periodically provides the user with the information. With this system, the user does not have to read uninteresting information, and can quickly collect only the information that interests him.

[0003] First, the operation principle of the information filter will be described.

In the information filter, each user has a profile in which a group of keywords to be included in a document of interest to each user is registered. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of a profile possessed by a certain user. In the example of the figure, "Internet""network"
Since the keyword groups of “WWW”, “PC”, “communication”, and “agent” are registered, this user is interested in a document including these keywords. Here, the number of times that the keyword included in the profile appears in the document is counted, the number is divided by the number of words included in the document, and the result is multiplied by 100 to obtain the score of the document.

For example, the following two sentences are evaluated using the profile shown in FIG.

First sentence: "With the recent development of computer networks represented by the Internet, even relatively inexpensive personal computers using WWW or the like can communicate with computers all over the world and obtain the latest information instantaneously. It has become possible. In the above first sentence, the total number of words is 20, and 5 of them are included in the profile. Therefore, 5 ÷
20 × 100 = 25, and the score of this sentence is 25 points.

Second sentence: "With the development of computer networks, a great deal of information has been distributed, and users are in a flood of information. Various information filters have been developed to prevent such information flooding. When the second sentence is evaluated in the same way as the first sentence, the total number of words is 2
There are 0, and only one is included in the profile. Therefore, 1 ÷ 20 × 100 = 5, and the score of the second sentence is five.

In this way, a document is given a score for a profile. It is the principle of the information filter technology that if this score is below a threshold, the document is sifted and not reach the user.

The information filter technology has been described above with the simplest example for simplicity of description. However, the description method and evaluation method of the profile differ depending on the filtering format of the information filter. There is also an information filtering technique in which filtering accuracy is improved by devising keywords such as weighting and prioritizing, changing an evaluation value according to the appearance position of the keyword, and increasing the score when a plurality of keywords appear simultaneously. . In the following description, the simplest example will be used for simplification.

[0010] With the development of this information filter, from the point of view of the information provider, if the receiver does not provide the information of interest, the provided information will be paid in front of the user without being seen by the user. Is done. However,
Currently used information filters determine the importance of a document based on the appearance frequency and location of important keywords, and do not interpret the content of the document itself. Therefore, even if the documents have the same contents, they may pass through the filter and be seen by the user depending on how the keyword is selected, or may be excluded by the filter and not be seen by the user.

On the other hand, when creating a new document, it is necessary to conduct a marketing survey or a reader survey in order to know what information the user wants, and to examine the interest of the user. Needed.

[0012]

[0031]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the present invention, when an information provider provides information to a plurality of users of a computer network, it is assumed that each of these users has an information filter.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creation apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the document creation device includes a profile storage unit 101, a keyword extraction unit 102, a keyword addition unit 103, and a document storage unit 104. Profile storage unit 10
1 and the keyword adding unit 103, the document evaluation unit 105 includes a display control unit 106 and a display unit 107.
Are connected in this order.

A profile as shown in FIG. 3 is stored in the profile storage unit 101 for a plurality of persons. As described above, a group of keywords to be included in a document in which each user is interested is registered in each profile.

The keyword extraction unit 102 reads out all profiles from the profile storage unit 101 and creates a keyword list in which all the keywords described in all the profiles are included one by one.

The keyword adding unit 103 sequentially extracts keywords from the keyword list created by the keyword extracting unit 102, and if the document being created stored in the document storage unit 104 does not include the keyword, the keyword is added. The keyword is added to the document being created.

The document storage unit 104 stores a document to be created.

The document evaluation unit 105 receives the document to which the keyword has been added by the keyword addition unit 103, reads the profiles one by one from the profile storage unit 101, and calculates the scores of the documents corresponding to all the profiles by the method described above. , And the score for each profile is stored.

The display control unit 106, as a result of the above processing,
That is, all the keywords are added to the document in order, the result of evaluating each of the profiles is received, and the keywords are rearranged in the descending order of the number of profiles whose scores have been increased.
The display unit 107 displays the keywords in this order.
Give instructions.

Display unit 107 displays a keyword in accordance with a display instruction from display control unit 106.

Next, the operation of the document creating apparatus configured as described above will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the document creation apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the document creating apparatus is started, the keyword extracting unit 102 adds an empty keyword to the keyword list (step 20).
1).

Next, when an unprocessed profile exists in the profile storage unit 101 (step 20).
2) Read the next profile (step 20)
3). For example, as a simple example, two users of the computer network are A and B, and the profile storage unit 101 stores a profile a related to A illustrated in FIG. 3 and a profile b related to B illustrated in FIG. It is assumed that it is. Since there are unprocessed profiles a and b in the profile storage unit 101 (step 202), the profile a is first read (step 203).

Next, if there is an unprocessed keyword in the profile being processed (step 204), it is checked whether the keyword is registered in the keyword list (step 205). In the above example, the profile a being processed includes the unprocessed keywords "Internet", "network", "WWW", "PC", "communication", and "agent" as shown in FIG. 3 (step 2).
04) First, check whether the first keyword “Internet” is registered in the keyword list (step 205).

In the next step, if not registered in the list, the keyword is registered in the keyword list (step 206). If the keyword is registered in the keyword list (step 205), step 20
Returning to 4, the above processing is performed for the next keyword.
In the above example, since the keyword "Internet" is not registered in the keyword list, the keyword "Internet" is registered in the keyword list (step 206).

Next, in step 204, when there is no longer an unprocessed keyword in the profile being processed, the process returns to step 202 to process the next profile. If there are no unprocessed profiles in step 202, the process proceeds to step 207. In the example above,
Similar processing is performed for each of the keywords "network", "WWW", "PC", "communication", and "agent", and all the keywords included in the profile a are registered in the keyword list. Then, the process returns to step 202 and the same processing is performed for the next profile b. Of the keywords “internet”, “WWW”, “network”, “agent”, “program”, and “information filter” included in profile b, “internet”, “WWW”, “network”, and “agent” are already registered in the keyword list. (Step 205), the keywords “program” and “information filter” excluding these are registered in the keyword list. This completes the process for profiles a and b, there are no unprocessed profiles, and the keyword list is determined to be composed of the following eight keywords.

1 Internet 2 Personal computer 3 Communication 4 Agent 5 WWW 6 Network 7 Program 8 Information filter Since there is no unprocessed profile, step 20
Move to 7.

At this point, the keyword list includes one keyword included in each profile of all users. From here on, the operation shifts to the operation of selecting, from the respective keywords in the keyword list created in this way, those that increase the importance of the document itself when added to the document to be created.

When an unprocessed keyword exists in the keyword list (step 207), the keyword adding unit 103 acquires a document being created (hereinafter, referred to as a “document to be created”) from the document storage unit 104. (Step 2
08), it is checked whether the keyword exists on the document to be created (step 209). If the keyword does not exist on the document to be created, the keyword is added to the document (step 210), and the process is connected to the next document evaluation step. For example, in the above example, it is assumed that the first sentence described above is stored in the document storage unit 104. The keyword adding unit 103 acquires the first sentence from the document storage unit 104 as a creation target document (step 208). Subsequently, the keyword adding unit 103 checks whether or not the keyword “Internet” is present in the document to be created in order to extract the keyword “Internet” from the keyword list and to add the keyword to the first sentence (step 2).
09). Since the keyword “Internet” is included in the document to be created, the keyword adding unit 103 extracts the next keyword “PC” from the keyword list and performs the same as above. In this way, all keywords in the keyword list are compared with the document to be created, and as a result, "Internet", "PC"
Since “WWW”, “network”, and “communication” are already included in the document, “agent”, “program”, and “information filter” are added one word at a time to the creation target document, and the evaluation described later is performed.

Hereinafter, the score of the document to be created to which the keyword has been added is calculated.

When an unprocessed profile exists in the profile storage unit 101 (step 211), the score of the document to be created with respect to the unprocessed profile is evaluated (step 212).

Next, the added keyword, the profile name used for evaluation, and the score of the document are shown (not shown).
The data is stored in the storage device (step 213). In order to evaluate the score of this document for all profiles,
In step 211, the same process is performed for each profile until there is no unprocessed profile.

In describing a specific example in which this evaluation step is applied in the above example, there are various evaluation methods as described above. Here, for the sake of simplicity, the simplest method described above is used. The case of the evaluation method will be described. First, for the document added to the creation target document, the "agent" obtains a score for each profile. A document in which the keyword “agent” is added to the creation target document is described in, for example, “WW in recent years due to the development of computer networks represented by the Internet.
Even with relatively inexpensive personal computers using W etc., it is possible to communicate with computers all over the world and obtain the latest information instantaneously. Agent will be. This document is first evaluated for profile a. In the above sentence, the total number of words is 21, and the number included in the profile a is 6 among them. Therefore, 6 ÷ 21 × 100 = 29
(Rounded down to the decimal point), and the score of this sentence for profile a is 29 points.

Subsequently, the document is evaluated for the profile b. In the above sentence, the total number of words is 21,
Among them, four are included in the profile b. Therefore, 4 ÷ 21 × 100 = 19 (rounded to the nearest decimal)
And the score for profile b in this sentence is 19
Points.

Accordingly, for the added keyword "agent", a score of 29 points is obtained for the profile a and 19 points for the profile b.

If there is no unprocessed profile in step 211, the process proceeds to step 207 to start processing the next keyword in the keyword list. In this way, the above processing is performed for all keywords in the keyword list.

In the above example, the processing for the profiles a and b when the keyword “agent” is added is completed, and there is no unprocessed profile. Performs the same processing. As a result, for the added keyword “program”, 24 points for the profile a, 19 points for the profile b, and for the added keyword “information filter”, 24 points for the profile a, 19 for b
You get points.

Next, the profile name and the score of the document used for evaluation thus obtained are stored in a storage device (not shown) (step 213).

If there is no unprocessed keyword in the keyword list (step 207), a score corresponding to each profile is obtained for a document in which all keywords in the keyword list are included. become.

At this stage, the device is as follows:
After summarizing the obtained scores, pass the information filter,
A keyword desired to be added to the creation target document in order to make the document reach more users is presented to the creator of the creation target document.

The display control unit 106 sets, for each keyword,
The number of profiles in which the score of the document in which the keyword is added to the creation target document is increased is counted, and the profiles are arranged in order.
If the number of profiles with the highest score is the same,
A ranking is arranged using the scores (step 214).

Lastly, the display unit 107 determines the number of users who can reach the document when each keyword is added to the document to be created together with the keywords arranged as described above. (Step 215), and the apparatus ends the process.

In the above example, “agents” are a, b
Since it is included in both profiles, the score increases in the two profiles. Next, the score of the “program, information filter” is increased only by the profile b. Further, for the keyword “agent”, a total of 48 points for the profiles a and b, for the keyword “program”, a total of 43 points for the profiles a and b, and for the keyword “information filter”, the profiles a and b is 43 points in total.

Accordingly, the number of profiles in which the score of the document in which the “agent” is added to the document to be created has been increased is the largest and the profile is the largest, and the profile is ranked first. Since the number of profiles in which the score of the document in which the "program" is added to the creation target document is increased and the number of the profiles in which the score of the document in which the "information filter" is added to the creation target document is increased are both 1, the above As we did, we use the scores to rank and align. In the above example, the score of the document in which the "program" is added to the creation target document and the score of the document in which the "information filter" is added to the creation target document are both 43 points. Therefore, the output is 1 agent 2 program 2 information filter, and it can be seen that if the keyword “agent” is added to the document, the document will be of interest to more users.

As described in detail above, according to the document creation apparatus of the present embodiment, when creating an information document, the information to be provided is determined by the degree of interest of the user using the profile registered in the information filter. Is evaluated by the degree of importance corresponding to the document, and a keyword that becomes more important when added to the document is presented to the document creator, so that a document that passes through the information filter and reaches more users can be created. .

Next, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described.

In the second embodiment, a method for creating a keyword list to be added after narrowing down profiles to be targeted in advance when there are a large number of profiles will be described.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the document creation apparatus according to this embodiment. In the figure, those having the same functions as those in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers.

As shown in FIG.
01 is connected to a profile selection unit 502. The profile selection unit 502 includes a keyword extraction unit 102
And the keyword adding unit 103 are connected in this order. The profile selection unit 502 and the keyword extraction unit 102 have a selected profile storage unit 504, and the profile selection unit 502 and the keyword addition unit 103 have a document storage unit 1
04 are respectively connected. On the other hand, a document evaluation unit 105 is connected to the profile selection unit 502 and the keyword addition unit 103, and a display control unit 106 and a display unit 107 are connected to the document evaluation unit 105 in this order.

As in the first embodiment, the profile storage unit 101 stores a profile as shown in FIG. 1 for a plurality of persons.

The profile selection unit 502 sequentially reads the profiles from the profile storage unit 101, and uses the document being created stored in the document storage unit 104 to determine the score of the document for each profile by the document evaluation unit 105. Ask. Using the score of the document obtained for each profile, select a profile with a high score,
It is stored in the selected profile storage unit 504.

The document storage unit 104 stores a document to be created.

[0074] Selected profile storage section 504 stores the profile selected by profile selection section 502.

The keyword extraction unit 102 reads out all profiles from the selected profile storage unit 504, takes out all keywords described in all profiles, and creates a single keyword list.

The keyword adding unit 103 sequentially extracts keywords from the keyword list created by the keyword extracting unit 102, and when the document being created stored in the document storage unit 104 does not include the keyword, the keyword is added. Add to the document being created.

The document evaluation unit 105 receives the document to which the keyword has been added by the keyword adding unit 103,
The profiles are read one by one from the selected profile storage unit 504, the scores of the documents corresponding to all the profiles are calculated by the above-described method, and the scores for each profile are stored.

The display control unit 106 adds all the keywords to the document in order, receives the result of evaluating each profile, sorts them in the order of the number of profiles with the highest score, and rearranges them in this order. The display unit 107 is instructed to display the keyword.

Display unit 107 displays a keyword in accordance with a display instruction from display control unit 106.

Next, the operation of the document creating apparatus configured as described above will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the document creation apparatus.

As shown in the figure, first, a document being created is obtained from the document storage unit 104 (step 601).

If there is an unprocessed profile in the profile storage unit 101 (step 602), the document score is calculated using the document evaluation unit 105 based on the unprocessed profile (step 603). If the score of the document thus obtained is equal to or more than a certain value (step 604), the profile used for evaluation is stored in the selected profile storage unit 504 (step 605), and the process proceeds to step 602. Start processing the profile. When the processing of all profiles is completed and there are no unprocessed profiles (step 602), the process proceeds to keyword extraction processing. Subsequent processing is the same as in the first embodiment. However, the profile stored in the selected profile storage unit 504 is used instead of the profile stored in the profile storage unit 101 used in the first embodiment.

As described above, according to this embodiment, when there are a large number of profiles, that is, when there are a large number of users, the score of the document is obtained in advance by the profile selection unit 502, and a high score is given. After selecting the selected profile, the same processing steps as those in the first embodiment are performed, so that creation of a document that passes through an information filter and reaches more users can be performed efficiently without requiring time for the processing. Make it possible while maintaining the nature.

The synonym determination unit 706 checks a word similar to the added word using the thesaurus 708,
If there is a similar word, a word similar to the added word is passed to the document evaluation unit 105 together with the document being edited as an addition candidate word.

The document evaluation unit 105 selects one word as an addition candidate and adds it to the document being edited.
The evaluation values of the documents are sequentially obtained by using the profiles stored in “01”. The method of obtaining the evaluation value is the same as in the case of the first embodiment or the second embodiment.

When the evaluation value is obtained using all the profiles in this way, an unused word is selected from the addition candidates, and the evaluation value of the document is obtained again in addition to the document being edited. When all the words of the addition candidates have been processed, a set of the words of the additional candidates and their evaluation values is passed to the display control unit 106.

The display control unit 106 arranges the words of the addition candidates in descending order of the evaluation value, and displays, on the display unit 107, the addition candidates whose evaluation values are equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value. Note that the input word is displayed even if it is equal to or smaller than the threshold. The user looks at the word candidates displayed on the display unit 107 and does not lose the meaning of the document. If a word having a high evaluation value still exists in the candidate, the user can use the input device 702 to change the word. select.

This selection instruction is transmitted to the document editing unit 704, and the document editing unit 704 adds this word to the document being edited and stores it in the document storage unit 104.

As described above, according to the document creation apparatus of the present embodiment, a word to be determined during input of a document or during refining is acquired, and a word having a similar meaning to the acquired word is extracted from the thesaurus dictionary. When the search value is used and the word is replaced with a similar word, and the evaluation value of the document is increased, the user with the highest score is presented to the user and the user's judgment is asked. Therefore, according to the present apparatus, in document creation, it is easy to create or revise the created document to attract more users and readers.

Therefore, it is possible to easily create an intelligent and strategic document starting from a reader who is a recipient of information of a document, beyond a conventional word processor which simply converts input words and phrases. Reduce the burden.

In the above embodiment, the word that increases the evaluation value of the document can be displayed as a part of a candidate for conversion of kana to vague characters in a word processor while the document is being created. If the document is being edited, it is possible to display candidates like an English spell checker. That is, for example, while creating a document in a word processor, "Net
work "and the synonym" Internet "
Will be more attractive to readers, and authors will find the original document more attractive to readers unless the synonym changes the meaning of the document. It is possible to easily change to a document that increases in frequency.

Next, a fourth embodiment according to the present invention will be described.

In the fourth embodiment, a description will be given of a display method for allowing a user to specify a word that has contributed to increasing the evaluation value of a document during document revision.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a document creating apparatus according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, those having the same functions as those in FIG. 1 are given the same numbers.

As shown in the figure, the document creation device comprises a profile storage unit 101, a keyword extraction unit 102, a keyword conversion unit 802, and a document storage unit 104. Profile storage unit 101 and keyword conversion unit 8
The document evaluation unit 105 connected to both the display control unit 02 and the display control unit 02 includes a display control unit 106 and a display unit 107 connected in this order.

As in the first embodiment, the profile storage unit 101 stores a profile as shown in FIG. 3 for a plurality of persons. As described above, a group of keywords to be included in a document in which each user is interested is registered in each profile.

The keyword extracting unit 102 reads out all the profiles from the profile storage unit 101 and creates a keyword list in which all the keywords described in all the profiles are included one by one.

The keyword conversion unit 802 sends the document under preparation to the document evaluation unit 105 without processing it, obtains a reference evaluation value, and extracts keywords from the keyword list created by the keyword extraction unit 102 in order. The document being created stored in the document storage unit 104 is read, and if the keyword is included, the corresponding keyword in the document being created is converted to a neutral keyword that does not affect the evaluation value of the document evaluation unit 105. Replace with words.

The document storage unit 104 stores a document to be created.

The document evaluation unit 105 includes the keyword conversion unit 8
02, the document in which the keyword is replaced with a neutral word is received, the profiles are read one by one from the profile storage unit 101, the scores of the documents corresponding to all the profiles are calculated by the above-described method, and the score of each profile is calculated. Remember.

[0116] The display control unit 106, as a result of the above processing,
That is, all keywords are added to the document in order, and the result of evaluating each profile is received, and the number of profiles whose scores are increased compared with the reference evaluation value and the degree of increase in the evaluation value are considered. The display method of each keyword is determined by the function. The function that determines the keyword display method is, for example, the difference between the average of the evaluation values of all the profiles and the score of the reference profile, the higher the average is, the brighter the red is, the lower the average is than the reference It is conceivable to change the display color of Bunu as dark blue. In addition to the above-described method using the display color of characters, for example, it is conceivable to change the background color, the background pattern, the character type, the character size, and the like. Also, the function for determining the keyword display method may be determined based on the number of profiles whose evaluation value has increased and the number of profiles whose evaluation value has decreased, or an average of the result obtained by multiplying the evaluation value by some function may be considered.

Next, the operation of the document creating apparatus thus configured will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the document creating apparatus.

As shown in the figure, when the document creating apparatus is started, the keyword extracting unit 102 first adds an empty keyword to the keyword list (step 901).
Next, when an unprocessed profile exists in the profile storage unit 101 (step 902), the next profile is read (step 903). If there is an unprocessed keyword in the profile being processed (step 9
04), it is checked whether the keyword is registered in the keyword list (step 905). If the keyword is not registered in the list, the keyword is registered in the keyword list (step 906). If the keyword is registered in the keyword list (step 9
05), returning to step 904 to process the next keyword.

If there is no unprocessed keyword in the profile in step 904, step 9
Returning to 02, the next profile is processed. Step 9
If there is no profile for final processing in 02, the process proceeds to step 907. If there is an unprocessed keyword on the keyword list (step 907), a document being created is acquired from the document storage unit 104 (step 90).
8) If the keyword exists in the document (step 909), the keyword in the document is converted into a character string that does not affect the evaluation (step 910). If an unprocessed profile exists in the profile storage unit 101 (step 911), the score of the document is evaluated using the unprocessed profile (step 912). The added keyword, the profile name used for the evaluation, and the score of the document are stored (step 913), and the process proceeds to step 911 to start the processing of the next profile. If there is no unprocessed profile (step 911), step 9
Moving to 07, the processing of the next keyword in the keyword list is started.

If there is no unprocessed keyword in the keyword list (step 907), a display method is determined using the profile score for each keyword (step 914). Based on how your keywords appear,
The document being edited is displayed (step 915).

As described in detail above, according to the document creating apparatus of the present embodiment, when creating a document, the information to be provided is made to correspond to the degree of interest of the user using the profile registered in the information filter. The importance
From this evaluation value, a function that reflects the degree of importance increasing when added to the document is obtained, and keywords are presented to the document creator adaptively to this function, so that the information filters are passed and more users are reached. In creating such a document, it is easier to select a phrase to be replaced, and thus it is possible to reliably create a document that attracts more users.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily create a document which can reach more users and readers, and to deliver information to a target to which information is to be delivered even in an information flood era. Becomes possible. At the same time, it is possible to reduce the document creation burden on the document creator.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the keyword list is obtained as a union of profiles has been described as an example. However, it is also possible to create a keyword list by adding a weight after adding a weight for each keyword. is there.

In the above-described embodiment, the simplest method of calculating a score as an example of a method for evaluating a document to which a word in a keyword list is added by a profile is described. For example, the score changes depending on the position of the word in the sentence. You may do so. For example, at the beginning of a sentence,
If it is a headword, the keyword can be regarded as more important than in the sentence, and the score can be relatively heavier. Although not specifically described in the above-described embodiment, the profile can be changed sequentially, and in this case, the keyword list can be changed correspondingly.

In the above-described embodiment, the evaluation for each profile is described only in the case of increasing the score. However, candidates for decreasing the score, that is, without attracting more users / readers, or By giving a negative score to words that are more likely to be avoided by more users and readers, they can be added to the evaluation target, and those with a higher negative score can be displayed as "words that should be avoided". Good.

Further, by learning the logic of the union structure of sentences by, for example, learning identification, and then applying the present invention, it is possible to automatically create a document that attracts more readers' interest. It becomes possible.
