DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a search system which manages an enormous amount of management data and, when search information is given, searches for and outputs management data having the search information. In particular, the present invention relates to a data search processing method for easily executing a search information input operation.

[0002] In a database system that manages an enormous amount of management data, a search process of searching for and outputting management data having specific search information is performed. In executing such a search process, it is necessary to make a configuration in which a user can easily input search information.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional search system, when a single input area for search information developed on a display screen is configured, search information is input to this input area together with an identification symbol. Then, by determining the attribute type of the search information input according to the identification symbol, the search information specified by the user is specified and the search process is executed. For example, when the search information of the name is input, a configuration is adopted in which the name is input after “A1 =”. When the search information of the date of birth is input, the date of birth is input after “A2 =”. By adopting the configuration, when "A1 =" is input to the input area, it is determined that the subsequently input search information is a name and a search process is executed, and "A2 =" is input to the input area. At that time, it is determined that the subsequently input search information is the date of birth, and the search process has been executed.

In the case where information defined by a plurality of pieces of search information and logical conditions between them is used as search information, a configuration is adopted in which a logical operator is input between the pieces of search information. In this case, the logical condition of the search information is specified in accordance with the above and the search process is executed. For example, when the logical product of the name and the date of birth is used as the search information, "A1 = 'Aoki Tadashi' AND A2 = S46.
4.1 "However," AND "has a configuration in which the logical operators"'"and"'"for indicating the logical product input quotation marks defining character information.

In the case where a plurality of input areas for search information developed on a display screen are formed, a plurality of attribute types of search information to be input into each input area and a logic set between the search information are set. By adopting a configuration in which the conditions are defined in advance, and by specifying the attribute types of the input search information and the logical conditions between them in accordance with the rules,
In this configuration, search information specified by the user is specified and search processing is performed. For example, an input area for inputting the search information of the name and an input area for inputting the search information of the date of birth are separately prepared, and the input area is configured to define the logical condition of the logical product. When the search information of the name and the date of birth is input to the input area of, the search process is executed using the logical product of the input name and the date of birth as the search information.

[0006]

However, in the former prior art, it is sufficient to prepare one input area for inputting search information, but it is necessary to input an identification symbol such as "A1 =" one by one. In addition, there is a problem that it takes time to input search information. Although it is possible to input search information according to various logical conditions, since it is necessary to input a logical operator for each of them, there is a problem that the trouble of inputting the search information is further increased. is there.

In the latter conventional technique, by preparing a plurality of input areas, it is not necessary to input an identification symbol such as "A1 =" into the input area. There has been a problem that it is necessary to accurately input data in the input area, and it takes time to input search information. In addition, since the logical conditions are fixed, there is also a problem that search processing cannot be executed with search information according to a free logical condition desired by the user.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and manages an enormous amount of management data, and when search information is given, searches and outputs management data having the search information. It is an object of the present invention to provide a new data search processing method which can easily execute a search information input operation.

A second management table 14 provided in the search processing device 1 for specifying the attribute type of the search information input to the input area 20 in accordance with the table data of the first management table 12. Reference numeral 15 denotes a determination unit provided in the search processing device 1 for managing the logical conditions assigned to the combinations. The determination unit 15 determines the logical conditions of the search information input to the input area 20 according to the table data of the second management table 14. A registration unit 16 included in the search processing device 1 registers table data in the second management table 14 by interacting with a user. An access unit included in the retrieval processing apparatus 1, is extracted by the extraction section 11 a search information identified attribute type by specifying unit 13, and determination unit 1
The management data having the search information according to the logical condition determined in step 5 is searched from the data file 3 and output to the terminal 2.

[0011]

In the present invention, the first management table 12 indicates that, for example, the search information input in kana and kanji is a name,
The search information entered as a five-digit number is an employee number,
Search information that is entered with numbers and periods and has a period up to the fourth digit is the date of birth,
The character attribute information of the search information is managed for each attribute type of the search information. On the other hand, in the second management table 14, when the name and the date of birth are input at the same time, a logical product is specified as a logical condition between the name and the date of birth, and the name and the name are When they are input at the same time, a logical condition assigned to a combination of the attribute types of the search information is managed such that a logical sum is designated as a logical condition between the name and the name. These logical conditions can be freely assigned by the user by interacting with the registration unit 16. When the second management table 14 is not provided, the determination unit 15 determines that the logical condition of the logical sum is satisfied between the search information of the same attribute type, and determines that the search information of the different attribute type is not. A configuration may be adopted in which it is determined that a logical condition of a logical product is satisfied.

When search information is input to the input area 20, first, the extraction unit 11 detects separators such as "blank" and "," included in the input search information. Then, the search information is extracted while determining whether the input search information is a plurality of pieces. Next, upon receiving the extracted search information, the specifying unit 13 compares the character attribute information of the extracted search information with the table data of the first management table 12 so as to collate the extracted search information. The attribute type of the retrieved search information is specified. continue,
When receiving the attribute type of the specified search information, the determination unit 15 checks the combination of the attribute type of the specified search information with the table data of the second management table 14 to extract the attribute information. Then, the logical condition of the search information extracted in step 11 is determined. In this way, the separation of the plurality of pieces of search information input to the input area 20 is performed, and when the attribute types and the logical conditions that are satisfied between them are specified, the access unit 17 specifies this attribute. The management data having the retrieved search information is retrieved from the data file 3 and output to the terminal 2.

As described above, according to the present invention, the user can input desired management data into one input area 20 by simply inputting search information one after another without inputting a special identification symbol. 2, the desired management data can be read from the data file 3 according to a simple operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to embodiments. FIG. 2 illustrates an overall configuration of a processing flow executed by the search processing device 1 that realizes the present invention.

As shown in this processing flow, the search processing apparatus 1 first executes a process of inputting search information to a single input area 20 prepared by interacting with a user in step 1. I do. Next, in step 2, the input search information is extracted. In this extraction processing, the input search information is composite information composed of a plurality of search information by detecting separators such as “blank” and “,” included in the input search information. It is also determined whether or not it is composite information, and if it is composite information, each piece of search information is extracted. Subsequently, in step 5, by executing a collation process with the first management table 12, the attribute type of the extracted search information is determined. That is, it is determined whether the search information is the search information indicating the name, the search information indicating the date of birth, or the search information of the composite information of the name and the date of birth.

Subsequently, in step 8, it is determined whether or not the input search information is composite information. If it is determined that the input search information is composite information, the process proceeds to step 9, where the second management table 14 By executing the collation processing, the logical condition set between the pieces of search information is determined. Then, in the following step 10, in order to confirm with the user, the attribute information of the search information specified by the processing so far is displayed,
In subsequent step 11, when it is detected that the user instructs the search processing, in step 12, the management data having the input search information is read from the data file 3. On the other hand, if it is determined in step 8 that the information is not the composite information, the process immediately proceeds to step 10 to execute the search process.

As described above, the retrieval processing device 1
As shown in (a) and (b), when "Takashi Sato" or "Takashi Sato" is entered in the input area 20, it is determined that the instruction is a read instruction of the management data having the name.
Also, as shown in FIG. 3C, when "Sato Goto Utama" is entered in the input area 20, it is determined that the instruction is a read instruction for management data having any of these three persons. As shown in FIG. 3D, when "Sato 335.12.1.10" is entered in the input area 20, the management data of "Sato" born on December 10, 1960 3 is read, and FIG.
As shown in (e), "D10200" is displayed in the input area 20.
J11000 ", the ledger number 10200
It is determined that the instruction is for reading management data having the employee number 11000 and the employee number 11000.

FIG. 4 shows a detailed processing flow of the retrieval information extraction processing performed in step 2 of the processing flow of FIG. 2, and FIGS. 6 to 8 show attribute type determination processing performed in step 5 of the processing flow of FIG. FIG. 11 shows a detailed process flow of the logical condition determination process performed in step 9 of the process flow of FIG. 2, and FIGS. 12 and 13 show search information performed in step 10 of the process flow of FIG. 3 shows a detailed processing flow of the attribute display processing. Next, the processing executed by the search processing device 1 will be described in detail according to these detailed processing flows.

When the search processing device 1 proceeds to step 2 of the processing flow of FIG. 2, by executing the processing flow of FIG. 4, the search information input to the input area 20 comprises a combination of a plurality of search information. Determine whether it is compound information,
If the information is complex information, a process of decomposing the information individually is executed. This disassembly process is executed by the presence of a space between characters. Note that information obtained by executing the processing flow shown in FIG.
The data is stored in the character storage table having the data structure shown in FIG.

The processing contents in each step of this processing flow are as follows. Here, in step 1,
It is determined whether or not “the number of times = the number of input areas (the number of characters that can be input in the input area 20)”. In step 4, it is determined whether or not “search character = blank”. In step 13, it is determined whether "stored FLG = ON". In step 15, it is determined whether "number of blanks = number of input areas". It is determined whether or not “store FLG = ON”. Note that the initial value of the stored FLG is OFF, N
Is "1", the number-related initial value is "0", and the area-related initial value is space.

In step 1, it is determined whether or not all character searches in the input area 20 have been completed. If the search is not completed, the process proceeds to the character search process, and if all the searches are completed, the process proceeds to the end process. In step 2, a process for decomposing the input information one character at a time and extracting the decomposed characters from the first character is performed. In step 3, the number of times is counted as one extracted character. In step 4, it is determined whether or not the extracted character is blank. If the extracted character is blank, the process of step 12 is executed. Otherwise, the process of step 5 is executed.

In step 5, it is determined whether or not a space exists between the extracted characters. If the inter-character space is “0”, it means that the extracted characters are continued, and the process proceeds to step 6 to combine the extracted characters. On the other hand, if there is a space between the characters, the process proceeds to step 9 to perform processing for storing information in the character storage table. In step 6, a process of combining the extracted characters one by one is performed. The combined characters are stored one by one in an editing area serving as a work area. In step 7, information indicating the number of blank spaces between the characters and information indicating the number of blank spaces in the input area 20 is deleted. In step 8, a flag indicating that a character other than a blank character has been extracted is set.

At step 9, the information stored in the editing area is stored in the character information of the character storage table. In step 10, the number of consecutive blanks from the stored information to the next information is stored in the number of blanks in the character storage table. In step 11, the position to be stored in the character storage table is set, and the editing area is cleared. In step 12, the number of times indicating that the extracted character is blank is counted.
In step 13, it is determined whether there is a continuous blank after the extracted information. If there is a blank after the information has been extracted, the process proceeds to step 14 to perform a process of counting continuous blanks. In step 14, the number of consecutive blanks between characters is counted. In step 15, it is determined whether or not the processing has been performed without inputting anything into the input area 20. In step 16, a message is set which means that the input area 20 is processed without any input. At step 17, the information 1 is entered in the input area 20.
Perform processing when only one is input.

By executing the processing flow of FIG. 4,
When the search information of the composite information shown in FIG. 5A is input to the input area 20, the search information is expanded while being separated into an editing area serving as a work area, as shown in FIG. 5B. Finally, as shown in FIG. 5C, the decomposed individual character information and the number of blanks following it are stored in the character storage table.

When the search processing device 1 proceeds to step 5 of the processing flow of FIG. 2, it executes the processing flows of FIGS. 6 to 8 to firstly obtain the character information stored in the above-described character storage table. Then, a process of determining the attribute type of the search information according to the character type is executed.

The processing contents in each step of the processing flow of FIG. 6 are as follows. Here, this processing flow is executed until the character information (N in FIG. 5C) stored in the character storage table becomes blank, and the character type of the determination result is written in the character type of the character storage table. In step 2, it is determined whether or not "character information (N) = blank", and in step 4 ',
In step 6 ', it is determined whether the first character is a kana, and in step 8', it is determined whether the first character is a number. At 12, it is determined whether there is an "error in the input information".

In step 1, the position for extracting the information stored in the character storage table is set. Step 2
Then, it is determined whether there is information to be extracted from the character storage table. Here, if it is determined that there is no information, the process proceeds to end. In step 3, a process of extracting one of the first characters of the extracted character information (N) is performed. In step 4, by comparing the extracted one character with the English character of the prepared English character table, it is determined whether there is a corresponding English character. If the corresponding letter exists,
The processing of step 5 is performed; otherwise, the processing of step 6 is performed. In step 5, the identification symbol "ANK" indicating that the extracted character is an alphabetic character is stored in the character type of the character storage table, and the process of step 11 is performed.

In step 6, by comparing the extracted one character with the kana in the prepared kana table, it is determined whether or not there is a corresponding kana. If the corresponding pseudonym exists, the process of step 7 is performed; otherwise, the process of step 8 is performed. In step 7, the identification symbol "KNA" indicating that the extracted character is a kana is stored in the character type of the character storage table, and the process of step 11 is performed. In step 8, by comparing the extracted one character with a number in the prepared number table, it is determined whether there is a corresponding number. If the corresponding number exists, the process of step 9 is performed.
Step 10 is performed. In step 9, the identification symbol "NUM" indicating that the extracted character is a number is stored in the character type of the character storage table, and the process of step 11 is performed.

In step 10, in response to the negative determination in steps 4, 6, and 8, the extracted one character is determined to be a kanji, and the fact that the extracted character is a kanji is displayed. The identification symbol “JPN” is stored in the character type of the character storage table, and the process of step 11 is performed. Step 1
In FIG. 1, by executing the processing flow of FIGS. 7 and 8 described below, the character attribute of the character information stored in the character storage table is determined, and the attribute type of the input search information is determined. Judge. In step 12, it is determined whether or not there is an error in the character attribute of the character information stored in the character storage table based on the determination result in step 11, and if there is no error, the process returns to step 1. The processing is performed on the character information of the next character storage table. In step 13, a message indicating that the input information has an error is set.

By executing the processing flow of FIG. 6,
In the example of the data stored in the character storage table shown in FIG. 5C, the entry of the character type associated with “Sato” is “KNA”, and the entry of the character type associated with “Koji” is “ KNA "," 335.12.1.
"NUM" is added to the entry of the character type associated with "0"
Will be stored.

Next, the processing performed in step 11 of the processing flow of FIG. 6 will be described in detail according to the processing flow shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. Here, in the processing flow shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the name in the search information is a rule entered in kana and kanji, and the remaining search information is the date of birth, gender, employee number, ledger The number is a rule that is entered numerically, and the gender is one digit (1: male, 2: female)
And a rule that can only be entered after other information, the date of birth is a rule with a period up to the fourth digit of the information, the ledger number is a rule with 10 consecutive digits, and the employee number is 2 It is a rule that the number of digits or more is not allowed, and that a character that continues ten or more times when entering a number cannot be used.

Information obtained by executing the processing flow shown in FIG. 7 is stored in a character editing table having a data structure as shown in FIG. FIG. 10 illustrates a character attribute identification symbol and a deemed attribute value to be used in the processing flows executed in FIGS. 7 and 8. Here, the deemed attribute is an identification attribute that is prepared so that characters having different character attributes are determined to be the same attribute, and the deemed attribute treats the kana name and the kanji name as representing the same name. Will be

The processing contents in each step of the processing flow of FIG. 7 are as follows. Here, this processing flow executes the processing of determining the attribute of the character information of the character table using the character type and the number of blanks stored in the character storage table shown in FIG. hand,
In step 1, it is determined whether "character type (N) = KNA". In step 2, it is determined whether "storage SW = ON". In step 3, "character type (N) = NU".
In step 4, it is determined whether “character type (N) = ANK”. In step 5,
It is determined whether or not “storage SW = ON”. In step 6, it is determined whether or not “the number of blanks (N)> 1”. In addition,
The initial value of the storage SW is OFF, the initial value of S representing the storage position of the character editing table is “1”, the initial value related to the area is space, and the storage area 1 is an area for storing the name “shi”. The area 2 is an area for storing the name “name”.

In step 1, it is determined whether or not the character type of the character information in the character storage table to be processed is a kana. In step 2, when the character type is not a pseudonym, a determination is made to perform a process when the information already determined in the previous process is a pseudonym and is not stored as editing information. In step 3, it is determined whether the character type is a number. If it is a number, the processing flow shown in FIG. 8 is executed. In step 4, it is determined whether the character type is an alphabetic character. If it is a letter,
The processing of B is performed, otherwise, it is determined and processed as a kanji name. In step 5, it is determined whether or not information is already stored in the storage area 1 determined by the pseudonym. If the information is not stored and the number of blanks following the information is one or more characters, it is assumed that only the name "FUJI" has been input and stored in the character editing table (steps 9 to 11). Go to If the blank is one character, the process goes to the process of temporarily storing information in the storage area 1 as not completed as information (steps 7 and 8). If it is determined that the information has already been stored, it is assumed that the information has been input as the name, and the information is temporarily stored in the storage area 2 and then combined with the storage information of the storage area 1 previously stored. To the character editing table (steps 12 to 17).

In step 6, it is determined whether or not the blank area of the information to be determined is one or more characters. And character attribute. At this time, the character attribute is stored as "name" as shown in FIG. If the blank character is one character, since the attribute of the information determined here is determined by the information stored next, the storage area 1 is determined until the next information is determined.
Is temporarily stored (steps 7 and 8). In step 7,
The character information is stored in the storage area 1. In step 8, a flag indicating that character information is stored is set, and the process ends. In step 9, the storage position in the character editing table is set. In step 10, the determined character information is converted into the storage format of the data file 3 and stored in the character editing table. In step 11, the character attribute and the deemed attribute of the stored character information are set, and the process ends.

In step 12, since it is determined that the character information is the name, the information is temporarily stored in the storage area 2 in order to associate the information with the storage information of the storage area 1 previously stored. In step 13, the storage position in the character editing table is set. In step 14, the character information edited as the name based on the storage information in the storage areas 1 and 2 is converted into the storage format of the data file 3 and stored in the character editing table. In step 15, the character attribute and the deemed attribute of the stored character information are set. In step 16, the areas of the storage areas 1 and 2 are initialized. In step 17, a flag indicating that character information is not stored is set, and the process ends.

In steps 18 to 22, in the processing after the information is determined as a pseudonym in the previous determination, information other than the pseudonym is determined next, and processing is performed when the information is stored in the storage area 1. This determination is based on ON / OF of the storage switch.
It is determined by F. If it is ON, the information in the storage area 1 is determined as a name, converted into the storage format of the data file 3, and stored in the character editing table. Further, the character attribute and the deemed attribute of the character information are set, the areas of the storage area 1 and the storage area 2 are initialized, and the storage SW is turned off. In step 23 and subsequent steps, a process of storing information determined to be a kanji name is performed. As a character attribute, "JAPN" representing a kanji name is set, and a deemed attribute is set.

Next, according to the processing flow of FIG. 8, the details of the character attribute determination processing executed when it is determined in step 3 of the processing flow of FIG. 7 that the character type is a numeral will be described. The processing content in each step of the processing flow of FIG. 8 is as follows. Here, in step 2, it is determined whether or not “search character = blank”.
In step 17, it is determined whether or not the character is a period. In step 17, it is determined whether or not "character information (N) = 1 or 2". In steps 9, 16, 18, 23, and 26, the corresponding error processing is performed. Execute The initial value of CT is “0”.

In step 1, character information is extracted one character at a time. In step 2, it is determined whether or not the extracted character is blank. In step 3, the number of extracted characters is counted. In step 4, it is determined whether or not the extracted character is a period. In step 5, the number of extractions when the extracted character is blank is determined,
If the number of extractions is one, it indicates that only one character is stored, so the process proceeds to the gender determination process. In step 6, the number of extractions when the extracted character is blank is determined. If the number of extractions is ten,
The process proceeds to the ledger number storage process. In step 7, it is determined whether or not the number of extractions at the time when the extracted character is blank is 10 or more. If the number of extractions exceeds ten or more, the process proceeds to error processing; otherwise, the process proceeds to employee number storage processing.

In steps 8 to 11, processing for storing the editing information and the character attribute of the employee number in the character editing table is performed. “JNO” indicating the employee number is stored as the character attribute, the deemed attribute is set, and the process ends. Also,
The character information is converted into the storage format of the data file 3 and stored. In steps 12 to 14, processing for storing the editing information of the ledger number and the character attribute in the character editing table is performed.
“DAIC” indicating the ledger number is stored as the character attribute, the deemed attribute is set, and the process ends. The character information is converted into the storage format of the data file 3 and stored. In step 15, it is determined whether or not the extracted information is one character and is input after other information. If it is determined that the information is not input after the other information, it is contrary to the gender input rules, and the process proceeds to error processing. In step 16, a message is set for notifying the user of a violation of the gender input rules.

In step 17, it is determined whether the character information is gender. 1 or 2 (1:
If (man, 2: woman) is stored, it is determined that it is gender, and the process proceeds to gender storage processing. If not, the process proceeds to error processing. In step 18, a message is set for notifying the user that he or she violates the gender input rules. In steps 19 to 21, processing for storing gender editing information and character attributes in the character editing table is performed. “SEX” indicating gender is stored as a character attribute, a deemed attribute is set, and the process ends. The character information is
The data is converted into the storage format of the data file 3 and stored. In step 22, if there is a period in the extracted information, it is determined in which digit of the information the period is located.
If the number is more than the first digit, the process goes to the error processing because it is contrary to the input rule of the date of birth. In step 23, a message setting for notifying the user that the input rule of the date of birth is violated is set.

In step 24, it is determined that the input information is the date of birth, and a process of converting the date of birth input in the Japanese calendar into the Christian calendar is performed. In addition, unnecessary information such as a period is omitted and the data is converted into a storage format of the data file 3. In step 25, it is determined according to the processing in step 24 whether incorrect information has been input in the input of the date of birth, and if it is detected that the information is incorrect, the process proceeds to error processing. In step 26, a message is set for notifying the user that there is incorrect information in the input of the date of birth. In steps 27 to 29, processing for storing the editing information and the character attribute of the date of birth in the character editing table is performed. As a character attribute, "BRT" indicating the date of birth
B "is stored, the deemed attribute is set, and the process ends. The character information is converted into the storage format of the data file 3 and stored.

As described above, the retrieval processing device 1
By executing the processing flow of FIG.
Then, the attribute type of the search information input to is input and the result of the determination is stored in the character editing table shown in FIG. 9, thereby executing the processing of step 5 in the processing flow of FIG.

When the search processing device 1 proceeds to step 9 of the processing flow of FIG. 2, by executing the processing flow of FIG. 11, if the search information input to the input area 20 is complex information, A process for determining a logical condition set between the pieces of search information constituting the composite information is executed. Here, the initial value of N is '0'.

The processing contents in each step of the processing flow of FIG. 11 are as follows. In step 1, a process for setting a position for extracting the storage information of the character editing table is performed. In step 2, it is determined whether information is stored at a position next to the set take-out position. If it is determined that the information is not stored in the next position, the process ends. In step 3, the deemed attribute stored at the set retrieval position and the deemed attribute stored at the next position are determined, and if the values of the two deemed attributes are the same, the two retrieval attributes are determined. The logical condition of the logical sum is satisfied between the pieces of search information at the position, and if they are different, it is determined that the logical condition of the logical product is satisfied between the two pieces of search information. In step 4, the code value "1" representing the logical product is stored in the character editing table. In step 5, the code value “2” representing the logical sum is stored in the character editing table.

As described above, the retrieval processing device 1
When the search information of the complex information is input to the input area 20 by executing the processing flow of FIG. By determining that the condition is satisfied and determining that the logical condition of the logical product is satisfied between the search information of different attribute types, the logical condition of the input search information is determined. .

When the search processing apparatus 1 proceeds to step 10 of the processing flow of FIG. 2, the search processing apparatus 1 executes the processing flows of FIGS. 12 and 13 to obtain the attribute information (search information) of the search information determined by the search processing apparatus 1. Display processing of attribute types and logical conditions between them. In accordance with this display process, the user can perform a process of confirming the search information input to the input area 20.

The processing contents in each step of the processing flow of FIG. 12 are as follows. Here, step 1
In steps 4 and 4, it is determined whether "single information = ON". In step 3, it is determined whether "edit information (N + 1) = blank". The initial value of the single information is OFF,
The initial values of S, K, and N are '0'.

In step 1, it is determined whether the input information is single or plural. In step 2, a process of setting the extraction position of the storage information of the character editing table is performed. In step 3, it is determined whether the next information of the set take-out position is stored. In step 4, when it is determined in step 3 that the next information is not stored, it is determined whether or not the single information is ON.
If it is N, it is determined that the processing of the final information of the character editing table has been completed, and the process proceeds to step 21 and ends. In step 5, when the single information is determined to be OFF in step 4, ON is set to the single information to process the final information stored in the character editing table.
In step 6, it is determined whether or not the character attribute (N) at the extracted position is “NAME”. In step 7, when it is determined in step 6 that the name is "NAME", the message text of "kana name" is stored in the divided TBL.

In step 8, processing for setting an extraction position for extracting the message sentence stored in the divided TBL one character at a time and processing for setting a storage position for storing one character at a time in the edit TBL are performed. In step 9, processing for storing the extracted message in the edit TBL is performed. Step 1
In the case of 0, the end of the storing process of the message stored in the edit TBL is determined. When all the characters have been stored, the process exits. Steps 8 to 10 are performed in steps 19 and 20.
Will also be executed. In step 11,
If the extracted information is a logical condition, a message indicating the logical condition is set, and if the extracted information is the final information, a message indicating the end of the sentence is edited.

In step 12, it is determined whether or not the character attribute (N) at the extracted position is "JAPN". In step 13, when it is determined in step 12 that it is "JAPN", the message sentence "Kanji name" is stored in the divided TBL. In step 14, it is determined whether or not the character attribute (N) at the extracted position is “DAIC”. In step 15, when it is determined in step 14 that the message is “DAIC”, the message text of “ledger number” is stored in the divided TBL. In step 16, it is determined whether or not the character attribute (N) at the extracted position is "BRTB". In step 17, in step 16, "BRT
When it is determined to be "B", the message text of "birth date" is stored in the divided TBL. In step 18, it is determined whether or not the character attribute (N) at the extracted position is “SEX”. In step 19, in step 18, "B
When it is determined to be "RTB", the message of "sex" is stored in the divided TBL. In step 20, when it is determined in step 18 that it is not "BRTB",
The message text of "employee number" is stored in the divided TBL. In step 21, a process of displaying the edited message text stored in the edited TBL is performed, and the process ends.

Next, a description will be given of the processing flow of FIG. 13 for adding a message sentence of a logical condition for connecting search information and a final sentence of the message. This FIG.
The processing contents in each step of the processing flow are as follows. Here, in step 1, “logical condition (N)
= 0 or 1 or 2 ”. In step 1, it is determined whether or not the logical condition is stored according to the value of the logical condition (N) extracted from the character editing table. If the logical condition is stored, "1" indicating the logical product is displayed. '2' indicating stored or logical sum
Is stored. In step 2, an extraction position from the divided TBL is initialized. In step 3,
In response to the logical OR being set as the logical condition, the message text “or” is stored in the divided TBL. In step 4, a process of setting an extraction position for extracting the message sentence stored in the divided TBL one by one and a process of setting a storage position for storing one character at a time in the edited TBL are performed. In step 5, a process of storing the extracted message in the edit TBL is performed. In step 6,
It is determined whether the process of storing the message to be stored in the edit TBL is completed. The process ends when all the characters have been stored. In step 7, positioning for storing in the edit TBL is performed. In step 8, corresponding to the setting of the logical product as the logical condition, the message text of 'and' is stored in the edit TBL, and the process is terminated.

In step 9, the extraction position from the divided TBL is initialized. In step 10, in order to display the last sentence of the message in response to the fact that the logical condition has not been stored, a search is made with 'in the divided TBL. 'Is stored. In step 11, processing for setting an extraction position for extracting the message sentence stored in the divided TBL one character at a time and processing for setting a storage position for storing one character at a time in the edited TBL are performed. In step 12, a process of storing the extracted message in the edit TBL is performed. In step 13, it is determined whether the process of storing the message to be stored in the edit TBL is completed. The process ends when all the characters have been stored.
