Abstract
A clause extraction unit extracts not only a clause but also a word from an inputted natural sentence. A thesaurus converts words into a synonym to integrate the words. A term dictionary converts the word into a term corresponding to a printer function. A parameter conversion unit converts the term obtained by the term dictionary into a parameter. A drawing command process unit performs a drawing process on the basis of the parameter to transmit a drawing process result to a printer.
