Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to character information, particularly to a search method and apparatus for text information.

In the past, in order to store documents containing text information such as large amounts of literature and to retrieve the required documents at any time, that is, to search for documents, the image information of the documents to be stored was stored on microfilm or microfilm. In addition to storing the search keyword and the type of image information 917 of the document in the computer device, it is also stored in the computer device.
While memorizing the data code information indicating Rec. 1 to 2, enter the search keyword corresponding to the type you want to extract to the combicoater drawing, and select the code information indicating the directory of the document containing the search code. Combi coater processing is performed, and the microphone 11 film or microfilm corresponding to the selection code information is taken out and the document image information 017 (!-i!j) is read out using the microphone 1-1 reader or the like.
Something is publicly known.

However, in the conventional search method and apparatus described above, inputting a search keyword and selecting the address code of the corresponding image information, number l, computer 91! ! This can be done quickly and reliably by mail, but the selected address =
In order to read the image information corresponding to the 1-card, it is necessary to operate a reading means for the image information, for example, a mechanical reading means of a micro 19-da screen. It requires a considerable amount of time, and the entire search device Ff is large and complicated.

In addition, if you want to use the search method/device for 1. Jumei fff IJ, and use it to search for very complex content such as judicial texts, for example, ¥11 example, you need to set a search keyword. It was extremely difficult to put into practical use. 1q. When searching for judicial precedents, it is required to retrieve image information of the Tachikawa Judgment that has similar matters regarding the content of the case, such as the facts at issue, the parties' arguments, and the findings.

However, as in conventional historical information search methods and devices, simply setting documents, i.e., bibliographical matters of judgments, in the form of code information as search keywords does not solve the problem.
In order to retrieve an image of a judgment text that is required in terms of content, it is necessary to decipher the entire judgment text in the image information corresponding to the search keyword, and its practical value is low.

Problems to be Solved This invention has been made to solve the various problems mentioned above, and one purpose of this invention is to replace the conventional method (similar to searching for simple words and phrases as search keywords). The object of the present invention is to provide a search method for cross circle information that can be used to search for documents such as Judgment Tachikawa, etc. whose content substantially matches the document to be searched, both within and between FJ!4.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a system for executing the above search method that can shorten the entire search process by allowing the entire search process to be performed using a combicoater. There is a particular thing.

” In order to achieve the purpose described in item 1, this method uses sentence prisoner data consisting of a text that indicates the content of document image information and includes a search keyword and the image information address code of the text. The character code indicating the search keyword is stored in the storage means, and the document data containing the character code is selected from among the prisoner data stored in the code information storage means, and the selected document data is The image information of the intersecting circles stored in the image information storage means is extracted based on the included address code.

Further, the apparatus of the present invention stores each sentence in the code information storage means, and selects document data containing a search keyword code signal inputted from the search keyword input means from the code information storage means. On the other hand, 16 pieces of image information corresponding to the address code included in the document data are selected from among the image information of the document stored in the image information storage means, and legal document data and document images are generated based on these selected information outputs. It is designed to be displayed visually or printed.

An example of this 5F light will be described in detail below based on the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the flow of creating a database for a case law search system. In the figure, 1 is a copy of the original judgment as the source material, a part of which is shown in Document 1 below. The content of this original judgment contains technical matters and there are many 11' documents (to), so it is difficult to decipher its contents in a short time. Therefore, using this copy of the original judgment as the source material, the following Judgment Abstract 2 and Case Comment 3 are provided as the primary 11rll to make it easier to read.
and prepare comprehensive precedent comments 4.

As shown in Document 2, the decision abstract 2 consists of bibliographic information such as case number, judgment date, parties, trial court number, articles, and related articles arranged in an orderly line from left to right at the top of the paper. At the same time, adjacent to and below the bibliographic information, 1. Issues of fact, 2. Key points of the parties' arguments, 31 matters held, and 40 judgment summaries are written in a concise and objective manner. This is what is described in .

Case Comment 3, as shown in Document 3, is a thorough summary of opinions such as the broad meaning, criticism, and positioning of the judgment. Furthermore, as shown in Document 4, Comprehensive Precedent Comments 4 are essays that include historical trends, interpretations, etc., based on a theme common to each judgment, and also introduce critiques of existing precedents. be.
