ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the invention to simultaneously process documents of a plurality of document types by simple management and simple inputs by the user. A document process designating means 3 determines a target document type as a target to be processed and a process to be executed. A finite-state automaton constructing means 4a composes a finite-state automaton from a content model defining lower elements included in each document type inputted. A document type collation control means 4c inputs a set of finite-state automatons having elements included in both the target document type and a document type to be compared to a finite-state automaton collating means 4b. The finite-state automaton collating means 4b determines whether the two finite-state automatons have a predetermined relationship. The document type collation control means 4c detects a related document type having a predetermined relationship with the target document type from the result of the collation by the finite-state automaton collating means 4b. A document process executing means 5 executes a process to both the target document type and a document of the related document type as targets to be processed.
