ABSTRACT:
An information management device is provided which is capable of performing a flexible search of input information, without the need to attach user-specified keywords or search information and without the need of pre-processing of the input information such as character matching processing, natural language processing, statistical processing and recognition processing. The information management device is used in a network of multiple information processing devices at least one of which is a mobile information processing device and is equipped with an information input unit that inputs information via the mobile information processing device; an attribute value input unit that measures and inputs at least one of information attribute values from the mobile information processing device and attribute values of the information resulting from the input of the information; an information database that stores the information along with the corresponding attribute information; an information registration unit that registers the information and the attribute value to the information database; a search key input that inputs search keys; an attribute database unit that outputs at attribute information in response to the search keys; an information search unit that outputs to the information database; a search directive that includes at least one attribute information output from the attribute database; and an information output unit that outputs information from the information database in response to the search directive.
