Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a database system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional database system performs a search by a keyword, so that it is intended for contents such as an employee list or a dictionary in which a clear item is known, and handles general and ambiguous documents such as novels and interview articles.

[0003]

Incidentally, there is a case where it is desired to search a part of information in a thick book or the like. However, since interview articles such as general books or magazines are issued one after another, the information cannot be obtained unless the user spends much time and effort to read them.

The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a database system capable of quickly searching for a predetermined information from a huge number of search objects. is there.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems A storage means for storing a logical sentence which extracts and summarizes a part of an original sentence and an attribute attached to the logical sentence, and searches the logical sentence having the attribute when the attribute is inputted. And a search means for performing the search.

[0006]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, a president interview article will be described as a search target. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of hardware of a database system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1 is a computer, 3 is a CD on which a search object and a search application program are recorded.
ROM.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a data structure of a database according to the embodiment of the present invention. The CD-ROM 3 records the text of the president's interview 5, the logical sentence 7, the classification item 9, the achievement 11, the president's generation 13, the company size 15, the world's 17 and the like.

> Indicates the end. President Interview Text 5 consists of Question Q and Answer A. Then, a logical sentence 7 is created from the answer A, and the logical sentence 7 of the answer A is stored corresponding to the question Q.

[0010] As shown in FIG. 4, a portion extracted from the president interview text 5 is summarized into a logical sentence 7. The operation of creating the logical sentence 7 from the extracted portion is performed by a human. The logical sentence 7 is created from the president interview text 5 in this way, and the logical sentence 7 is assigned the classification item 9. In FIG. 4, attributes such as a company name 18 and other company evaluation axes 19 are also shown for the logical sentence 7.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of this embodiment. 6 to 19 show a search screen 31 corresponding to the flowchart. First, a startup screen shown in FIG. 6 is displayed (step 501). Next, a pop-up menu 35 is displayed in the search target book column 33 on the startup screen in FIG.
, A logical sentence search or a Q & A search is designated (step 502).

When a logical sentence search is specified (step 50)
3), as shown in FIG. 7, the search method is selected from the three types of search method using the pop-up menu 37, namely, section search, menu search (company name search), and full-text search (step 50).
4).

For example, when "R &D" is indicated as a corporate index, "up" as a business result, and "second generation or later" as a president generation, 45 search results (in this case, 12 logical sentences are searched) are displayed, and a desired result is displayed. By selecting one, the corresponding logical sentence 7 is displayed (step 50).
8).

The size 47 of the company may be further designated. In the present embodiment, AND and OR searches can be performed based on the company index 39, the performance 41, the presidential generation 43, the company size 47, and the like.

However, the search can be performed by connecting the computer 1 to a database via the Internet or the like.

[0021]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, predetermined information can be quickly searched from a huge number of search targets.
