Patent number: 5870750Abstract: A division code is added to both ends of a group of pieces of data registered in an item of a data record L and between each pair of adjacent data, so that a piece of code-added data is produced. Thereafter, a character chain pattern (C1,C2) of each pair of adjacent characters C1 and C2 in the code-added data is prepared, an occurrence frequency Fi of each character Ci in each piece of data H is calculated, and character chain information (F1,F2,H,L) corresponding to each character chain pattern (C1,C2) is prepared. Therefore, a index file in which pieces of character chain information prepared for the same item of a plurality of data records are listed is prepared. When a keyword is input by a user, the division code is added to both ends of the keyword to produce a code-added keyword, and a series of keyword character chain patterns is prepared from the code-added keyword in the same manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1997Date of Patent: February 9, 1999Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takamasa Oyama, Tomoko Fujita, Tetsuya Kinoshita, Chuichi Kikuchi, Hirobumi Shinoki
