Abstract

PURPOSE:To register each patent document in a prescribed storing place in an external storing means by fields of specialization by detecting words which are considered to be technical terms from each patent document and discriminating the field of specialization of each patent document by collating the detected words with one or more technical term dictionaries. CONSTITUTION:A technical term candidate detecting section 5 retrieves a basic word dictionary 6 for all words contained in a patent document stored in a patent document storing section 4 and the words which are not contained in the dictionary 6 are stored in a technical term candidate storing sections 7. A field discriminating section 8 retrieves technical term dictionaries 9 for all of the words stored in the section 7 and writes the information indicating the presence/absence of each word in each dictionary 9 in a field information storing section 10. Then a patent document storing place discriminating section 11 discriminates the field of specialization of the patent document in accordance with the instruction of an execution controlling section 2 and informs the section 2 of the storing place in an external storing means 3 against the field of specialization of the patent document after reading the storing place from a patent document storing place table 12. Therefore, each patent document can be registered in a prescribed storing place in the means 3.

Generally, there are two types of methods for patent extraction work: The first method is to search using keywords related to the specialized field targeted for patent search. For example, when searching for patents related to machine translation machines, keywords such as "machine translation,""syntaxanalysis," and "translation generation" are used to extract patents containing these keywords. The second method is to search using international classification codes of patents. For example, the international classification codes for patents related to machine translators are GO6F15/38 and GO6F157.
20, etc., so patents to which these international classification codes are assigned are extracted.

(The problem that the invention is trying to solve) However, in the above patent extraction method, both keywords and international classification codes are searched, and some of the features obtained by the search are irrelevant to the specialized field that is the target of the patent search. Since the system contains a large number of patents, it is necessary to manually select patents related to specialized fields from among the obtained patents, resulting in a problem of poor patent extraction efficiency.
