    摘要: An information retrieval system with good human-interface methods to give the system ease-of-use having two distinctive features with the first being visual interface and the second being natural language interpretation. The visual interface provides for visual interaction for local search and natural language interpretation provides for linguistic interaction for global search. The visual interface provides versatile views onto the contents of the knowledge base that the system has, controlling mechanisms for browsing through the knowledge base, a capability of showing relevant information for the users, and a mechanism for editing a query expression that describes information to retrieve. By using the visual interface for information retrieval, the users can easily create query expressions, by consulting and reacting with the system. The natural language interpretation makes use of a conceptual network as a knowledge-base that stores important concepts and relationships among these concepts. Based on knowledge and information represented in the conceptual network, the meaning of a noun phrase or a nominal compound which is a string of adjectives and nouns with some prepositions can be inferred. The inferred interpretation of such a noun phrase is paraphrased into an expression that the information retrieval system can handle. Therefore, the user of the system can simply describe the desired information in a language to get the desired information.

    摘要: A multi-lingual information retrieval system which includes an information storage section for storing information, a data storage section for storing data for language conversion and for converting the stored information to strings of characters in natural language expressions in order to enable a person's interpretation, an interface section for user's interaction operations for information retrieval, a retrieval section for retrieving information from the information storage section in response to a request for a retrieval from the interface section, and an output section for outputting a retrieved result of the retrieval section. The data storage section coexistently stores the information therein in a plurality of different languages, thereby making possible to retrieve identical information by use of the plurality of different languages.

    摘要: When a network representing the relationship among immense concepts is indicated using a multi-window function, a concept network display system simultaneously displays a superconcept for a current concept in the network, a network representing the subsumption relation of the current concept, and a network representing generic and instance relations of the current concept in a dynamically linked relationship. The concept network display system also edits the displays of the networks by rewriting displayed networks in response to selection of a new current concept, and displays a history of the current concepts without repetition.

    摘要: A character stream search system using an FSA for determining at a time whether or not a plurality of character streams as search objects exist in a search character stream which undergoes a search operation and which comprises a plurality of characters expressed with codes. In the system, a collation is conducted between the search character stream and a search object character. In a case where there exists a matched search object character as a result of the collation, a state transition is carried out of a predetermined state indicated by the FSA. In a case where there does not exist a matched search object character, a failure processing to effect a state transition to a transistion destination which is determined in association with the configuration of the FSA. The following processing is completed at a count which is a predetermined upper-limit value for each character undergone the search operation.

    摘要: A document storage and retrieval system for storing a document body in the form of image, means for storing text information in the form of a character code string for retrieval, apparatus for executing a retrieval with reference to the text information, and apparatus for displaying a document image relating thereto on a retrieval terminal according to the retrieval result. Such a form of the system is available for retrieving the full contents of a document and also for displaying the document body printed in a format easy to read straight in the form of image. Users are capable of retrieving documents with arbitrary words and also capable of reading even such a document as is complicated to include mathematical expressions and charts through a terminal in the form of image, the same as on paper. A system is provided wherein the text information for retrieval is extracted automatically from the document image through character recognition. Since a precision of the character recognition has not been satisfactory hitherto, a visual retrieval and correction have been carried out without fail by operators. However, there is no necessity for the operators to attend therefor.

    摘要: An image display apparatus that can ease the man-machine interaction when a user searches for a document in an electronic filing system, for example, through the image display apparatus. In a conventional electronic document filing system, it has been difficult to search for a document by inspecting or looking at the original document images shown on an image display screen. The difficulty comes from the lack in a capability of controlling the instantaneous display speed, an appropriate feedback to the user to synchronize the image paging, and a capability of showing the direction of paging. The image display apparatus disclosed here has a tactile feedback mechanism that tells the user the time a new image page is shown and that also tells him/her other status of the apparatus, like how busy it is, in terms of a tactile signal to the user's fingers. The mechanism is installed in a mouse-like pointing device that tells the apparatus the speed of paging. By using this, the user can control the paging speed spontaneously and at the same time he/she can feel the paging through the tactile feedback, in addition to a kind of sound effect.
