Abstract:
1. An information input assistance device comprising: a controller configured to: identify a user; acquire attribute information corresponding to the identified user from a first memory which stores attribute information of a plurality of users; acquire rule information corresponding to a transmission destination of input information and a class of input information from a second memory which stores, in correspondence with transmission destinations of input information and classes of input information, rule information representing rules indicating methods used to generate input information from attribute information of users; and generate the input information corresponding to the identified user by applying the acquired rule to the acquired attribute information; and perform processing that transmits the generated input information to the transmission destination, wherein, when attribute information completely matching the input information exists within the attribute information that is read from the first memory and that corresponds to the identified user, the controller generates a rule designating a category of the completely matching attribute information, and, when attribute information partially matching the input information exists within the attribute information, the controller determines an editing method for causing the partially matching attribute information to completely match the input information and generates a rule that designates a category of the partially matching attribute information and the determined editing method.
