<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow for notational variations of allographs in searches. <P>SOLUTION: A character string management apparatus 1 includes alternative character definitions 2 defining allographs and representative alternative characters, a database 3, and a registration character string generation part 4 for, if a character string p to be registered contains an allograph, generating a registration character string r having the character string p and the alternative character m in a set, and further includes a search condition generation part 5 for generating a search condition f1 in which an allograph in a search character string s is normalized with the alternative character m, a searchable character string extraction part 6 for generating a searchable character string f2 in which the allograph in the registration character string r is normalized with the alternative character m for a search, a comparison part 7 for comparing the search condition f1 with the searchable character string f2, and a return character string acquisition part 8 for, if the comparison finds matching, acquiring the character string p forming the set in the registration character string r as a return character string o and returning the return character string o to the source of search. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
