Text summarizing method and system
First Claim
1. A text summarizing method in a system comprising at least a processor and a storage and summarizing an inputted text comprising:
- a step of setting a text analysis rule, a plurality of text type identification rules, a plurality of summarization method setting tables, and a summarization rule in said storage;
a step of extracting at least a numerical value of conditions defined relative to text structure elements, from said inputted text by said processor on the basis of said text analysis rule;
a step of determining the text type of said inputted text, based upon the extracted numerical value and said text type identification rules;
a step of selecting a summarization method setting table corresponding to said determined text type from said summarization method setting tables; and
,a step of summarizing said inputted text on the basis of said selected summarization method setting table and said summarization rule.

Abstract
By storing data on text attributes comprising a plurality of attribute items, a text analysis rule, a plurality of text type identification rules, a plurality of text content/domain type identification rules, a plurality of summarization method setting tables, and a summarization rule in a storage, analysing an inputted text in an electronic form on the basis of the text analysis rule and the data on text attributes, generating a text analysis table, determining the text type of the inputted text in an electronic form on the basis of the text type identification rules and the content of the text analysis table, also determining the text content/domain type on the basis of the text content/domain type identification rules, selecting a summarization method setting table corresponding to a combination of the determined text type and text content/domain type, and summarizing the inputted text in an electronic form on the basis of the summarization method setting table and the summarization rule, a text summarizing method and system for preventing the correctness of text summarization from dropping due to a difference in the constitution, field, and content of a text.

5. A text summarizing method in a system comprising an input device, an output device, a processor, and a storage and preparing a summary by summarizing an inputted text in an electronic form, comprising:
-
a step of setting a word dictionary, grammar rules, data on text attributes including a plurality of attribute items, a text analysis rule, a plurality of text type identification rules, a plurality of text content/domain type identification rules, a plurality of summarization method setting tables, and a summarization rule in said storage; a step of analysing said inputted text in an electronic form on the basis of said word dictionary, said grammar rules, said data on text attributes, and said text analysis rule and generating a text analysis table including a word table and a text table by said processor; a step of extracting a text type identification rule conforming to the content of said text analysis table mostly by referring to said plurality of text type identification rules and determining the text type of said extracted identification rule as a text type of said inputted text in an electronic form; a step of extracting a text content/domain type identification rule conforming to the content of said text analysis table mostly by referring to said plurality of text content/domain type identification rules and determining the text content/domain type of said extracted identification rule as a text content/domain type of said inputted text in an electronic form; a step of selecting a summarization method setting table corresponding to a combination of said determined text type and said text content/domain type from said plurality of summarization method setting tables; and a step of summarizing said inputted text in an electronic form on the basis of said selected summarization method setting table and said summarization rule. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9)
