Guidance information retrieval apparatus and guidance information retrieval system using this guidance information retrieval apparatus
First Claim
1. A guidance information retrieval apparatus comprising:
- a guidance retrieval data holding means for holding guidance retrieval data including both category data each specifying a category in which retrieval targets are put, and substance data each specifying substance of a corresponding retrieval target;
an update data holding means for holding update data including both correction data each used for correcting either category data or substance data which constitutes said guidance retrieval data, and additional data each used for adding new category data or substance data to said guidance retrieval data;
a control means for, when correction data corresponding to either category data or substance data contained in said guidance retrieval data acquired from said guidance retrieval data holding means is contained in the update data acquired from said update data holding means, outputting either a category in which a retrieval target corresponding to the correction data is put or substance of the retrieval target, and for, when additional data is contained in the update data acquired from said update data holding means, outputting either a category in which a retrieval target corresponding to the additional data is put or substance of the retrieval target; and
a providing means for providing the category in which the retrieval target is put or the substance of the retrieval target according to the output of said control means.
