Abstract

A catch phrase generation device stores keywords in association with each other. Each keyword indicates a characteristic of a user, and a property to which each of keywords belongs. A plurality of templates are also stored. Each template has an insertion section for which a keyword property that should be inserted is determined in advance. A template corresponding to guidance information based on a predetermined condition is selected. A keyword acquisition unit analyzes an access history, which has been created by the user or to which the user has made reference, and acquires, based on an analyzed result, a stored keyword.

A catch phrase generation unit selects, from among the keywords acquired by the keyword acquisition unit, a keyword belonging to a property identical to the property determined for the insertion section of the selected template, and inserts the selected keyword into the insertion section of the template.

Claims

1. A catch phrase generation device for generating a catch phrase from guidance information desired to be provided to a user, and outputting the generated catch phrase to the user, said catch phrase generation device comprising:

keyword storage unit that stores, in association with each other, a plurality of keywords each indicating a characteristic of the user, and a property to which each of the plurality of keywords belongs;

template storage unit that stores a plurality of templates each having an insertion section for which a keyword property that should be inserted is determined in advance;

template selection unit that selects, from the template storage unit, a template corresponding to the guidance information based on a predetermined condition;

keyword acquisition unit that analyses an access history, which has been created by the user or to which the user has made reference, and acquires, based on an analyzed result, a keyword stored in the keyword storage unit; and

catch phrase generation unit that selects, from among the keywords acquired by the keyword acquisition unit, a keyword belonging to a property identical to the property determined for the insertion section of the template selected from the template storage unit by the template selection unit, and inserting the selected keyword into the insertion section of the template, thereby generating a catch phrase.

2. The catch phrase generation device according to claim 1,

wherein the catch phrase generation device further comprises conversion keyword storage unit that stores, in association with the keyword, a conversion keyword belonging to a property having a meaning associated with the keyword and different from the property of the keyword, and

wherein when the property of the keyword acquired by the keyword acquisition unit is not identical to the property determined for the insertion section of the template selected from the template storage unit, the catch phrase generation unit makes reference to the conversion keyword storage unit, converts the keyword, acquired by the keyword acquisition unit, into a conversion keyword the property of which is identical to the property of the insertion section, and inserts the converted keyword into the insertion section of the template, thereby generating a catch phrase.

3. The catch phrase generation device according to claim 2,

wherein the template storage unit stores, in a grouped manner, a plurality of templates,

wherein the conversion keyword storage unit further stores the degree of association between the keyword and the conversion keyword,

wherein the template selection unit selects, from the template storage unit, a group of templates corresponding to the guidance information based on a predetermined condition, and

wherein the catch phrase generation unit inserts a keyword acquired by the keyword acquisition unit or a conversion keyword into an insertion section of each template included in the template group selected by the template selection unit, calculates a first association value based on the degree of association of the inserted keyword or conversion keyword stored in the conversion keyword storage unit, and on the timing of an access history analyzed by the keyword acquisition unit, and determines, as a catch phrase, a template having the highest calculated first association value.

4. The catch phrase generation device according to claim 3,

wherein the catch phrase generation device further comprises guidance point acquisition unit for segmenting the guidance information into words, and acquiring, when the segmented words are stored in the keyword storage unit, the words and properties as guidance points, and

wherein the catch phrase generation unit calculates a second association value based on the degree of association of the inserted keyword or conversion keyword, and on the guidance points acquired by the guidance point acquisition unit, and further uses the first association value and the calculated second association value to select a catch phrase from the plurality of templates.

5. A computer-readable recording medium that records a catch phrase generation program for allowing a computer to generate a catch phrase from guidance information desired to be provided to a user, and to output the generated catch phrase to the user,

wherein the catch phrase generation program allows the computer to function as:

keyword storage unit that stores, in association with each other, a plurality of keywords each indicating a characteristic of the user, and a property to which each of the plurality of keywords belongs;

template storage unit that stores a plurality of templates each having an insertion section for which a keyword property that should be inserted is determined in advance;

template selection unit that selects, from the template storage unit, a template corresponding to the guidance information based on a predetermined condition;

keyword acquisition unit that analyzes an access history, which has been created by the user or to which the user has made reference, and acquiring, based on an analyzed result, a keyword stored in the keyword storage unit; and

catch phrase generation unit that selects, from among the keywords acquired by the keyword acquisition unit, a keyword belonging to a property identical to the property determined for the insertion section of the template selected from the template storage unit by the template selection unit, and inserting the selected keyword into the insertion section of the template, thereby generating a catch phrase.

6. The computer-readable recording medium that records the catch phrase generation program according to claim 5,

wherein there is further provided conversion keyword storage unit that stores, in association with the keyword, a conversion keyword belonging to a property having a meaning associated with the keyword and different from the property of the keyword, and

wherein when the property of the keyword acquired by the keyword acquisition unit is not identical to the property determined for the insertion section of the template selected from the template storage unit, the catch phrase generation program allows the catch phrase generation unit to function to make reference to the conversion keyword storage unit, to convert the keyword, acquired by the keyword acquisition unit, into a conversion keyword the property of which is identical to the property of the insertion section, and to insert the converted keyword into the insertion section of the template, thereby generating a catch phrase.

7. The computer-readable recording medium that records the catch phrase generation program according to claim 6,

wherein the template storage unit stores, in a grouped manner, a plurality of templates,

wherein the conversion keyword storage unit further stores the degree of association between the keyword and the conversion keyword,

wherein the catch phrase generation program allows the template selection unit to function to select, from the template storage unit, a group of templates corresponding to the guidance information based on a predetermined condition, and

wherein the catch phrase generation program allows the catch phrase generation unit to function to insert a keyword acquired by the keyword acquisition unit or a conversion keyword into an insertion section of each template included in the template group selected by the template selection unit, to calculate a first association value based on the degree of association of the inserted keyword or conversion keyword stored in the conversion keyword storage unit, and on the timing of an access history analyzed by the keyword acquisition unit, and to determine, as a catch phrase, a template having the highest calculated first association value.

8. The computer-readable recording medium that records the catch phrase generation program according to claim 7,

wherein the catch phrase generation program allows the computer to function as guidance point acquisition unit for segmenting the guidance information into words, and acquiring, when the segmented words are stored in the keyword storage unit, the words and properties as guidance points, and

wherein the catch phrase generation program allows the catch phrase generation unit to function to calculate a second association value based on the degree of association of the inserted keyword or conversion keyword, and on the guidance points acquired by the guidance point acquisition unit, and to further use the first association value and the calculated second association value to select a catch phrase from the plurality of templates.
