ABSTRACT:
The apparatus acquires retrieval history data of information retrieval to be determined, and acquires voice data of the conversation heard about information necessary for the information retrieval. A predetermined keyword dictionary is referred to from the voice data, and an expression matching a keyword indicating necessary information for information retrieval is extracted, and defined as a keyword obtained before retrieval. Then, the keyword obtained before retrieval and the retrieval history data (a retrieval key, a selected document, and an order in the retrieval result of the selected document) are compared with the best case data accumulated in the best case data storage unit, the applicability of the keyword obtained before retrieval and the applicability of the retrieval key are determined, and the applicability of the information retrieving process is obtained based on the determination.
