Data display system, data map forming system, and data map forming method

Abstract

A data display system ( 10 ) and a patent map forming system ( 20 ) give evaluation values obtained by a predetermined evaluation axis or an arbitrarily set evaluation value in cooperation with each other, and forms a map sheet (MS) on the basis of the evaluation values. The data display system ( 10 ) acquires a first-class identification code such as a publication number from a basic data sheet (DS) obtained by listing bibliographical information or the like of a patent input by a spreadsheet software ( 22 ) from an input file, and an identification code conversion unit converts ( 12 ) the first-class identification code into a second-class identification code. A patent data server (SV) is directly accessed by the second-class identification code to read an abstract, a representative drawing, all documents, drawings, and the like, serving as detailed data, thereby displaying these data on a display (DP).

1 . A data display system comprising: 
 acquiring means for acquiring, from a basic data sheet which can store a plurality of first-class record including, as items, at least one first-class identification code which can be easily or generally understood by a reader or an operator in a list state, items of the first-class identification code;    conversion means for converting the acquired first-class identification code into a second-class identification code different from the first-class identification code; and    display means for acquiring, from a data server in which a plurality of second-class records including items corresponding to the items of the first-class identification code and a plurality of items related to the items such that the second-class identification code is given to the second-class records, first specific item information of the second-class records identified by the second identification code obtained by the conversion means to display the specific item information.    
   
   
       2 . A data display system according to  claim 1 , wherein 
 the second conversion means converts a first-class identification code having a high priority into the second-class identification code when a specific first-class record on the basic data sheet include a plurality of items of the first-class identification code having different priorities, and    the display means displays first specific item information of a second-class record corresponding to the first-class identification code having a high priority on the basis of the converted second-class identification code.    
   
   
       3 . A data display system according to  claim 2 , comprising 
 identification code selection means for designating selection of any one of the plurality of items of the first identification code,    wherein the display means performs switching to the first specific item information of the second-class record corresponding to the selected item of the first-class identification code depending on the designation of the identification code selection means.    
   
   
       4 . A data display system according to  claim 1 , comprising: 
 display item input means for inputting that an item to be displayed of the second-class record is second specific item information different from the specific item information,    wherein the display means    when the second specific item information is input from the display item input means, adds an item selection tag to the second identification code, requests the second specific item information different from the first specific item information of the second record corresponding to the item selection tag from the data server, and displays the second specific item information.    
   
   
       5 . A data display system according to  claim 1 , comprising 
 record selection moving means for, when the basic data sheet includes a plurality of first-class records, moving the record to a first-class record of a record displayed on the display means at present to acquire the item of the first-class identification code of the record and for transmitting the item to the conversion means.    
   
   
       6 . A data display system according to  claim 5 , comprising 
 display selection memory means for storing that one of the first specific item information of the second-class record and the second specific item information different from the first specific item information is selectively stored,    wherein, when the display of the second specific item information is stored in the display selection memory means, the display means adds a specific item selection tag to the second-class identification code to request the data server to read the second-class record, and displays the second specific item information of the second-class record returned from the data server.    
   
   
       7 . A data display system according to  claim 1 , comprising: 
 evaluation item memory means for acquiring a plurality of evaluation data from an evaluation data sheet in which evaluation value data related to at least one of a plurality of first-class records is stored in a format different from that of the first-class record on the basic data sheet, and for storing the plurality of evaluation value data;    evaluation item selection means for displaying the plurality of evaluation value data stored in the evaluation item memory means and for making it possible to select one from these evaluation value data; and    evaluation item memory means for outputting the evaluation value data to an evaluation item of the first-class record on the basic data sheet to memory the evaluation value data on the basic data sheet when one of the evaluation value data is selected.    
   
   
       8 . A data display system according to  claim 1 , comprising 
 evaluation item addition setting means for selecting specific information from specific item information of the first-class or second-class record displayed by the display means, temporarily storing the specific information, adding the specific information to a position corresponding to an evaluation item of the basic data sheet, and additionally storing the specific information as evaluation item data on the evaluation data sheet.    
   
   
       9 . A data display system according to  claim 7 , wherein 
 the evaluation item memory means stores evaluation values expressed by character strings or words in a natural language which can be easily or generally understood by a reader or an operator set in evaluation items on the evaluation data sheet and a plurality of simple codes corresponding to the evaluation values; and    the evaluation item selection means displays the evaluation value set in evaluation item data, and the evaluation item memory means transmits a simple code corresponding to the evaluation value set in the evaluation item data to the item of the first-class record on the basic data sheet.    
   
   
       10 - 17 . (canceled)  
   
   
       18 . A data display method comprising: 
 acquiring, from a basic data sheet which can store a plurality of first-class records including, as items, at least one first-class identification code which can be easily or generally understood by a reader or an operator in a list state, items of the first-class identification code;    converting the acquired first-class identification code into a second-class identification code different from the first-class identification code; and    acquiring, from a data server in which a plurality of second-class records including items corresponding to the items of the first-class identification code and a plurality of items related to the items such that the second-class identification code is given to the second-class records, first specific item information of the second-class records identified by the second identification code obtained by the conversion means; and    displaying the specific item information.
