摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a different notation normalization processor by which fluctuation in various notations among various languages having different notations in Chinese character is absorbed.

SOLUTION: The different notation normalization processor comprises: a document input means 101 receiving an input text; a Chinese character equivalence segmentation means 102a extracting the notation in Chinese character from the input text received by the document input means 101; at least two or more of different notation normalization rules 102c describing corresponding characters among the languages having the different notations in Chinese character; a different notation normalization rule selection means 102d selecting the different notation normalization rule 102c suitable for the input text received by the document input means 101; and a normalization processing means 102b normalizing the notation in Chinese character extracted by the Chinese character equivalence segmentation means 102a in accordance with the different notation normalization rule 102c selected by the different notation normalization rule selection means 102d. In this way, the fluctuation in the various notations among the various languages having the different notations in Chinese character is absorbed.
