Abstract: Disclosed is a system in which Aan NFA conversion meansunit 21, receives the number of simultaneous/parallel processing characters from an input device 1 and, using a one-character transition finite automaton description matrix stored in an NFA description matrix storage unit 31 and a description matrix which is stored in an NFA conversion result matrix storage unit 32 as an intermediate conversion result, converts the finite automaton to a finite automaton whose transition condition is described in the number of characters subjected to simultaneous/parallel processing. The NFA conversion means 21 sequentially stores the intermediate result in the NFA conversion result matrix storage unit 32. When the conversion is completed, a result output meansunit 22 reads the resulting NFA description matrix from the NFA conversion result matrix storage unit 32 and outputs it to an output device 4.
