Creation assisting method and apparatus utilizing element indexes

A creation production support apparatus comprising:

• a database for storing creation elements with added corresponding element indexes, wherein the database is on at least one of a network or a terminal device;
• extraction means for extracting, from said database, element indexes for multiple creation elements that match a selection reference;
• calculation means for calculating a correlation among information sets written in said extracted element indexes, and for obtaining a set of element indexes from said extracted element indexes whose correlation satisfies an evaluation reference;
• and
• output means for linking creation elements corresponding to element indexes that belong to said set and for outputting the results as a new creation on a terminal device, wherein information written in said element indexes consists of n sets of information to represent said information by n-dimensional vectors;
• and wherein said calculation means evaluates said correlation among said extracted element indexes by using an angle formed by said n-dimensional vectors of said extracted element indexes.

A scenario creation support apparatus comprising:

• storage means for storing scenario elements that constitute parts of scenarios and corresponding scenario element indexes;
• extraction means for extracting, from said storage means, a plurality of scenario element indexes that match a predetermined scenario element selection reference;
• agitation means for performing, according to a pseudo physical rule, agitation simulation for said plurality of scenario element indexes, and for repeating said agitation simulation until a set of scenario element indexes is obtained from said plurality of scenario element indexes that match an evaluation reference for a predetermined condition setting for a scenario creation;
• recovery means for comparing said scenario element indexes in said set with paired corresponding scenario elements to recover a set of scenario elements;
• scenario linking means for linking of scenario elements in said set of scenario elements to generate and output a new scenario;
• and
• editing means for changing predetermined phrases in said scenario elements of said new scenario according to a predetermined table.

A scenario creation support method comprising:

• a storage step for the storage of scenario elements, which are components of a scenario, and paired scenario element indexes, which represent the contents of said scenario elements, wherein the storage step stores the scenario elements on a storage medium;
• an extraction step for the extraction, from said scenario elements and said scenario element indexes that are stored, of a plurality of scenario element indexes that match a predetermined scenario element selection reference;
• an agitation step for the performance, in accordance with a pseudo physical rule, of an agitation simulation for said plurality of scenario element indexes, and for the repetition of said agitation simulation until a set of scenario element indexes is obtained from said plurality of scenario element indexes that, for scenario creation, match an evaluation reference for a predetermined condition setting;
• a recovery step for the recovery of a set of scenario elements by comparing said scenario element indexes in said set with paired scenario elements;
• a scenario linking step for the linking of scenario elements of said set of scenario elements to generate and output a new scenario onto a terminal device;
• and
• an editing step of employing a predetermined table to change, in said scenario elements of said new scenario, predetermined phrases of said new scenario.

A computer-readable storage medium on which a program is stored for the execution of a scenario creation method on a terminal device, wherein the program stores, in a database on a storage medium, elements of a creation along with added corresponding element indexes;

• extracts from said database element indexes for multiple creation elements that match a selection reference;
• calculates a correlation among information sets written in said extracted element indexes, and obtaining a set of element indexes from said extracted element indexes whose correlation satisfies an evaluation reference;
• and links creation elements corresponding to element indexes that belong in said set, and outputting the results as a new creation onto a terminal device, wherein information written in said extracted element indexes consists of n sets of information to represent said information using n-dimensional vectors;
• and wherein said correlation among said extracted element indexes is evaluated by using an angle formed by said n-dimensional vectors of said extracted element indexes.
