INFORMATION RETRIEVING SYSTEM AND SERVER APPARATUS

摘要

An information retrieving system and a server apparatus wherein information that a user desires can be quickly and precisely retrieved with the user's operation load reduced. An information retrieving system comprises a mobile telephone unit (1) that accepts, by voice, a keyword used for information retrieval; and a server (4) that performs an information retrieval by use of a database with which the URLs of contents on the Internet (3) and voice recognition notations associated with those URLs are registered. In the information retrieving system, a voice data corresponding to the information retrieval keyword accepted by the mobile telephone unit (1) is transmitted to the server (4). The server (4) then performs a voice recognition of the voice data to acquire a voice recognition notation, and transmits a retrieval result list comprising the URLs of the contents associated with the voice recognition notation to the mobile telephone unit (1). The mobile telephone unit (1) then displays the retrieval result list thereon.
