Recording medium storing information attachment program, information attachment apparatus, and information attachment method

An information attachment apparatus for attaching meta-information for management to multimedia data, the apparatus comprising:

• acquisition unit for acquiring a search word of a text search done at a search site;
• monitoring unit for monitoring whether or not a search frequency of the search word acquired by the acquisition unit satisfies a predetermined criterion;
• determination unit for determining whether or not at least a portion of the search word matches a character recognition processing result of the multimedia data when the search frequency of the search word is determined to satisfy the predetermined criterion by the monitoring unit;
• and
• registration unit for registering the search word as meta-information of the multimedia data when, as a determination result of the determination unit, the search word matches the character recognition processing result.

An information attachment method of attaching meta-information for management to multimedia data, the method comprising:

• an acquisition step of acquiring a search word of a text search done at a search site;
• a monitoring step of monitoring whether or not a search frequency of the search word acquired in the acquisition step satisfies a predetermined criterion;
• a determination step of determining whether or not at least a portion of the search word matches a character recognition processing result of the multimedia data when the search frequency of the search word is determined to satisfy the predetermined criterion in the monitoring step;
• and
• a registration step of registering the search word as meta-information of the multimedia data when, as a determination result of the determination step, the search word matches the character recognition processing result.
