Recognition dictionary system and recognition dictionary system updating method
First Claim
1. A recognition dictionary system comprising:
- a variant term accumulation unit configured to accumulate and store a first variant term that has a meaning equivalent to a base term stored in a recognition dictionary and has first character string information that is different from character string information of the base term;
a variant frequency analysis unit configured to analyze an occurrence frequency of the first variant term accumulated and stored in the variant term accumulation unit and to determine the first variant term as a principal variant term when the occurrence frequency is higher than a first prescribed value; and
a recognition dictionary update unit configured to update the recognition dictionary to register the principal variant term in the recognition dictionary as being associated with the base term.

Abstract
A recognition dictionary system includes a variant term accumulation unit, a variant frequency analysis unit, and a recognition dictionary update unit. The variant term accumulation unit is configured to accumulate and store a first variant term that has a meaning equivalent to a base term stored in a recognition dictionary and has first character string information that is different from character string information of the base term. The variant frequency analysis unit is configured to analyze an occurrence frequency of the first variant term accumulated and stored in the variant term accumulation unit and to determine the first variant term as a principal variant term when the occurrence frequency is higher than a first prescribed value. The recognition dictionary update unit is configured to update the recognition dictionary to register the principal variant term in the recognition dictionary as being associated with the base term.

17. A recognition dictionary system comprising:
-
a comprehension control unit configured to detect whether a first term corresponding to information received by (n)th input by a user matches a base term stored in a recognition dictionary that stores at least character string information of the base term, output a response that prompts at least (n+1)th input by the user upon detecting that the first term does not match the base term, detect whether a second term corresponding to information received by the (n+1) or subsequent input by the user matches the base term, and determine input character string information upon detecting that the second term matches the base term; a variant term detection unit configured to determine that the first term is a variant term that has a meaning equivalent to the base term but has different character string information from the character string information of the base term when the second term matches the base term, and to extract the first term as being associated with the base term; a variant term accumulation unit configured to accumulate and store the variant term extracted by the variant term detection unit; a variant frequency analysis unit configured to analyze an occurrence frequency of the variant term with reference to the variant term accumulation unit, and to determine the variant term as a principal variant term when the occurrence frequency is higher than a first prescribed value; and a recognition dictionary update unit configured to update the recognition dictionary to register the principal variant term in the recognition dictionary as being associated with the base term.

18. A recognition dictionary system comprising:
-
variant term detecting means for detecting a first term inputted by user as a variant term of a base term stored in a recognition dictionary when the first term has a meaning equivalent to the base term but has different character string information from character string information of the base term stored in the recognition dictionary; variant term accumulating means for accumulating and storing the variant term; frequency occurrence analyzing means for analyzing an occurrence frequency of the variant term accumulated and stored, and to determine the variant term as a principal variant term when the occurrence frequency is higher than a first prescribed value; and dictionary updating means for updating the recognition dictionary to register the principal variant term in the recognition dictionary as being associated with the base term.

19. A recognition dictionary system updating method comprising:
-
detecting a first term inputted by user as a variant term of a base term stored in a recognition dictionary when the first term has a meaning equivalent to the base term but has different character string information from character string information of the base term stored in the recognition dictionary; accumulating and storing the variant term; analyzing an occurrence frequency of the variant term accumulated and stored, and to determine the variant term as a principal variant term when the occurrence frequency is higher than a first prescribed value; and updating the recognition dictionary to register the principal variant term in the recognition dictionary as being associated with the base term.
