Abstract: A combined sentence generating device 20 that generates combined sentences of images and characters includes: a sentence reading module 21 that reads natural language sentences; a conversion object specifying module 22 that specifies a conversion object portion out of the natural language sentences; and an object to image converting module 23. The object to image converting module 23 specifies a converted image corresponding to the conversion object portion in reference to an image database 30 storing images in association with words expressing contents of the respective images, converts the conversion object portion of the natural language sentences to the converted image to generate the combined sentences, and makes the combined sentences displayed. A part of the natural language sentences are thus converted to the image.

Abstract: A system for converting data of various types into color dot images to perform various basic data managements by using the color dot images. First, data of various types are represented by a color code train, a color dot is allowed to correspond to each color code in the color code train to generate a color dot image or object of an arbitrary shape to perform various basic data managements using the color dot image, the size of each dot and a dot-to-dot interval are controlled for printing and drawing on a medium of various types such as paper and recording and retaining, basic data is restored from the color dot image in a computer, color dot images recorded and retained on a medium of various kinds are read with a scanner or a camera to restore them to basic data of various types.
