PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily understand information in an inputted document by means of a user even if the language of the input document is not mother tongue and even if the large amount of input documents exist. SOLUTION: The summary part of the input document and a translation part translating the input document and the summarized result into the other natural language are provided. The input documents (facsimile document, electronic mail document, designated file and the like) are received from a local or remote information source (ST1). The language on the input document is judged and a field is judged by using an (if-then) inference rule and statistical information (ST2 and ST3). When summary is required for the input document, the summary part generates summary (ST4 and ST5). The summary is generated by filling the slot of a template, for example. When translation into the other language is required for the input document and the summarized result, the translation part generates translation (ST6 and ST7). A language judged result, a field judged result, the summarized result and a translated result are sent to the local or remote user. |
