Information Retrieval System, Registration Apparatus for Indexes for Information Retrieval, Information Retrieval Method and Program
First Claim
1. An information retrieval system comprising:
- an information acquisition unit that acquires information as a subject of retrieval;
a time information specifying unit that specifies time information owned by said information as the subject of retrieval; and
an index updating unit that updates said index using the time information specified by said time information specifying unit;
wherein said information retrieval system provides an information retrieving function of reproducing retrieved results at any time point by providing index for information retrieval with the time information and by using data of said index relevant to a reference point of retrieval identified at the time of retrieval.

13. A program executed on a computer that forms an apparatus for registering indexes;
- said program comprising processings of;
acquiring information as a subject of retrieval; specifying time information owned by said information as the subject of retrieval; and updating a portion of an index or indexes corresponding to the time information specified, wherein said indexes are used as an index for information retrieval with the time information thereby performing information retrieval by using data of said index relevant to a reference point of retrieval identified at the time of retrieval. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A method for registering indexes comprising:
-
acquiring information as a subject for retrieval; specifying time information of said subject of retrieval; and updating said index using the time information thus specified; wherein the method provides retrieval starting at any time point by providing an index for information retrieval with the time information by using data of said index relevant to a reference point of retrieval identified at the time of retrieval. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
