Abstract:
1. A linkage information output apparatus for outputting information linked with source information, comprising a central processing unit (CPU) of a computer, the CPU having: an input unit to which source information is input; a linkage information retrieval unit which receives said source information, and acquires a plurality of destination information linked with said source information, a frequency of occurrence of said source information, a frequency of occurrence of linked each said destination information, and a frequency of occurrence of a link of said source information and said each destination information, from a linkage information accumulation unit provided inside or outside said linkage information output apparatus; a recognition degree calculation unit which, based on acquired each said frequency of occurrence, calculates a recognition degree of said source information, a recognition degree of acquired said each destination information, and a recognition degree of each said link, and determines whether the calculated said recognition degrees are high or low; a high interest information narrowing unit which selects one or more of said destination information from among said each destination information based on a combination of two or more among results of the determined highs and lows of the recognition degree of said source information, the recognition degree of said destination information and the recognition degree of said link; and an output unit that outputs at least selected said destination information, wherein said high interest information narrowing unit selects any two among said source information, said destination information, and said link, and selects, from among said each destination information, said destination information where a recognition degree of one of the selected ones becomes higher than a prescribed threshold value and a recognition degree of the other becomes lower than a prescribed threshold value, and wherein said high interest information narrowing unit selects, from among said each destination information, said destination information where at least one of a recognition degree of said source information and a recognition degree of said destination information becomes higher than a prescribed threshold value, and a recognition degree of said link becomes lower than a prescribed threshold value.
