Information processing apparatus and method for processing information

Abstract

A selection decision made by a user at a time of searching is facilitated. An optimum output mode for each word is determined from an input sentence including a plurality of words, and data of the determined output mode corresponding to each word is output. For example, a suitable word for presentation by an image is extracted from an input sentence including a plurality of words, and an image corresponding to the suitable word is output. For example, the image corresponding to the suitable word is output by being included in a search result corresponding to other search conditions of the input sentence. In this case, it becomes possible to present the user with the image corresponding to the word that is included in the input sentence and is suitable for presentation by an image.
