Patent number: 7953761Abstract: A plan generating unit generates an execution plan based on a retrieval request. An acquiring unit acquires, from a structure-information storing unit, statistical information corresponding to a logical structure to be retrieved. An associating unit acquires, from a rule storing unit, an expression format corresponding to a condition satisfied by the statistical information acquired and associates the expression format with the execution plan. A plan executing unit represents a retrieval result obtained by executing the execution plan received from a retrieving apparatus in the expression format associated with the execution plan. A result transmitting unit transmits the retrieval result to the retrieving apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventor: Katsuhiko Nonomura

Patent number: 7293018Abstract: When a retrieval condition including a first desired word and a first desired component including a value in which the first desired word is included, is inputted, a first detecting device detects second desired components each being similar to the first desired component, an acquiring device acquirers second desired words each being similar to the first desired word, a first retrieving device retrieves first structured documents each including a first component including a value in which one of the first desired word and the second desired words is included, a second retrieving device retrieves second structured documents each including a second component corresponding to one of the first desired component and the second desired components and including or corresponding to the first component.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2004Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masakazu Hattori, Takuya Kanawa, Katsuhiko Nonomura, Hiroshi Niina, Shozo Isobe

Patent number: 7231386Abstract: A system retrieves structured documents based on first desired concept item having first concept items classified hierarchically and subordinated to first desired concept item, second desired concept item having second concept items classified hierarchically and subordinated to second desired concept item, generates a table displaying retrieval results, and associates groups of desired component, one of first items classified as first concept items immediately lower than first desired concept item, and desired second concept item with column index cells of table respectively. When a display area where one of the column index cells is displayed is designated, the system acquire the groups associated with the designated area, and retrieves, based on the acquired group, structured documents each including the desired component including a value in which one of the first concept items subordinated to the one of the first item and one of the second concept items are included.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2004Date of Patent: June 12, 2007Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Katsuhiko Nonomura, Takuya Kanawa, Hiroshi Niina, Shozo Isobe, Masakazu Hattori

Patent number: 7054854Abstract: Upon a search request including a document logical structure, a search graph including the document structure information is generated. A most appropriate search plan is generated by the computation cost simulation, by using index file composed of data creation index and element name occurrence index, and previously prepared plan generation rule, for the generated search graph. Search results satisfying the search request is obtained by executing the search plan generated for the structured document database.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2000Date of Patent: May 30, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Masakazu Hattori, Katsuhiko Nonomura, Takuya Kanawa
