Book search apparatus, book search database generation apparatus, book search method, book search database generation method, and program
View Patent ↗Provided is an invention for efficiently searching for books used in training to reduce metathesis. A book search database storage unit 110 stores a book search database in which information identifying a book, information regarding a frequency of a proximity number for a mora character notation pair appearing in forward order in the book, and information regarding a frequency of a proximity number for the mora character notation pair appearing in reverse order are associated with each other. A display unit 300 displays a book search screen including a correctly pronounced phrase input region and an incorrectly pronounced phrase input region. A subject pronunciation designation unit 120 determines two mora character notations and a proximity number to use as search conditions based on an input of the correctly pronounced phrase input region and an input of the incorrectly pronounced phrase input region. A subject book information generation unit 130 generates search results including information regarding books matching the search conditions from the book search database.
1. A book search apparatus comprising:
a book search database storage unit storing a book search database in which at least information identifying a book and information regarding a frequency of a proximity number for a mora character notation pair appearing in forward order in the book are associated with each other;
a display unit configured to display a book search screen including a correctly pronounced phrase input region for inputting a string of mora character notations representing a correct pronunciation of a phrase in which metathesis has occurred and an incorrectly pronounced phrase input region for inputting a string of mora character notations representing an incorrect pronunciation of the phrase;
a subject pronunciation designation unit configured to determine, as search conditions, two mora character notations whose appearance positions are swapped in a correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string which is the string of mora character notations input into the correctly pronounced phrase input region and an incorrectly pronounced phrase mora character notation string which is the string of mora character notations input into the incorrectly pronounced phrase input region, and a proximity number of the two mora character notations whose appearance positions are swapped in the correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string and the incorrectly pronounced phrase mora character notation string; and
a subject book information generation unit configured to generate, from the book search database, search results including information regarding books in which the mora character notation of the two mora character notations included in the search conditions appearing early in the correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string and the mora character notation of the two mora character notations included in the search conditions appearing later in the correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string appear in forward order within a vicinity of the proximity number included in the search conditions.
2. The book search apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:
the book search database storage unit stores a book search database in which information identifying a book, information regarding a frequency of a proximity number for a mora character notation pair appearing in forward order in the book, and information regarding a frequency of a proximity number for a mora character notation pair appearing in reverse order in the book are associated with each other, and
wherein the search results include both information regarding how frequently the mora character notation pair appears in forward order and information regarding how frequently the mora character notation pair appears in reverse order.
3. A book search method, wherein a book search database in which at least information identifying a book and information regarding a frequency of a proximity number for a mora character notation pair appearing in forward order in the book are associated with each other is stored in a book search database storage unit,
the method comprising:
a display step of a display unit displaying a book search screen including a correctly pronounced phrase input region for inputting a string of mora character notations representing a correct pronunciation of a phrase in which metathesis has occurred and an incorrectly pronounced phrase input region for inputting a string of mora character notations representing an incorrect pronunciation of the phrase;
a subject pronunciation designation step of a subject pronunciation designation unit determining, as search conditions, two mora character notations whose appearance positions are swapped in a correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string which is the string of mora character notations input into the correctly pronounced phrase input region and an incorrectly pronounced phrase mora character notation string which is the string of mora character notations input into the incorrectly pronounced phrase input region, and a proximity number of the two mora character notations whose appearance positions are swapped in the correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string and the incorrectly pronounced phrase mora character notation string; and
a subject book information generation step of a subject book information generation unit generating, from the book search database, search results including information regarding books in which the mora character notation of the two mora character notations included in the search conditions appearing early in the correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string and the mora character notation of the two mora character notations included in the search conditions appearing later in the correctly pronounced phrase mora character notation string appear in forward order within a vicinity of the proximity number included in the search conditions.
4. A non-transitory tangible medium having recorded thereon a program for causing a computer to function as the book search apparatus according to any of claim 1 .
