Abstract
Abstract The language processing system uses object networks in a computer system which manages and processes as objects the data to be operated on and the means of operating the data . The objects are classified roughly into noun objects and verb objects; an object network expressing the noun objects as nodes and the verb objects as branches is used as a reference model. In the reference model, when the content of a function of a verb object is made to act on a noun object existing at a certain node, a noun object in the direction of the branch corresponding to the name of the verb object, which is the object to be processed, is obtained, whereby it becomes easy to construct a system for a specific field of application.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
252 words
A language processing system using object networks in a computer system which manages and processes as objects the data to be operated on and the means of operating on that data, wherein (a) the objects are classified roughly into noun objects (21) and verb objects (22); (b) the noun objects (21) are comprised of integrated objects (21a) corresponding to common nouns and individual objects (21b) corresponding to proper nouns, (c) the verb objects include at least three types of functions, that is: operation verbs which perform operations for combining data and other constraints to a certain object so as to specify a noun object as the object to be processed, relation added verbs which act on groups of individual objects constituting an integrated object so as to generate a noun object with a new relation, and limited operation verbs which give a specific constraint by a noun object combined with a preposition defining the property of the constraint and perform an operation on the noun object to be processed so as to satisfy the limitation, (d) an object network (20) expressing the noun objects as nodes and the verb objects as branches is used as a reference model; and, in the reference model, when the content of a function of a verb object is made to act on a noun object existing at a certain node, a noun object in the direction of the branch corresponding to the name of the verb object, which is the object to be processed, is obtained.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
48 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 1, wherein there is a noun object management facility (14) for identifying among each of the objects by naming and/or a reference indication function for each of the integrated objects (21a) and the individual objects (21b).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
73 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 1, wherein there is a modification management facility for adding constraints to the noun objects as adjectives modifying the noun objects (21) and managing them as objects, the modification management facility having a means for judging if the nature of the noun object to which the specified individual object belongs and the constraint modifying the same are compatible with each other.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 1, wherein the verb objects come in two types: actual functions (25) which can actually performing processing for execution of a noun object to be processed and generic functions (25) which are transformed into actual functions by being given constraints (23) and a verb object control mechanism (15) which performs control of the transformation from the generic functions to actual functions is provided.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 4, wherein the verb object control facility (15) has the function of imposing as a constraint on a verb object corresponding to a generic function the name of the noun object, as the status name, on which processing has finished being executed at present.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
86 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 4, wherein there is a function execution management facility (60), which has a means which imposes constraints for the start, duration, and end of an operation when causing the verb object (22) to act as a function and which defines the actual constraints for the generic functions with constraints given by generic conditions, therefore sequentially checking the validity in the process of transforming generic functions to actual functions and generating transformation procedures for transformation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
88 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 1, wherein there is a process construction management facility (13) which generates individual objects (21b) by execution of specific actual functions from the state of integrated objects corresponding to common nouns in the object network (20) showing a structure as a reference model and constructs an element network (72) by expressing the relations among these elements, which element network performs actual processing by requests for execution of individual objects, thereby generating and managing the object networks.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
90 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 7, wherein the process construction management facility (13) defines the constraints relating to the processing routine by the orientation of the verb objects (22) in the object network (20) formed and, at the same time, judges that the verb object with a possibility token indicating that the object is next executable can be processed concurrently, and receives a request for actuation for that verb object and performs control for concurrent processing so as to actually execute the same.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
88 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 7, wherein verb objects (22) of the object network (20) having the portion defining the construction are actuated, the corresponding element network (72) is created, the data relating to the element object is added as a constraint, and the process is executed based on the requests from inside and outside the system for the verb objects and the limitations concerning the processing routine and based on the indication control of the process construction management facility (13).
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
146 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 7, wherein the process construction management facility (13) has a control means which newly generates a structure network based on the structure network (71) used as the reference model, modifies and revises the constraints of the object network (20) used as the reference model in accordance with other system requests, defines constraints of the newly generated object network, and prepares to receive from other systems the requests to element networks based on the processing routine to be performed by the structure network completed as a result, thereby assigns the right of control to the element network, receives the fact of completion of the processing as a result, and erases the structure network, which operation is designed so that the element network is simultaneously completed, the results of the processing being displayed in other systems.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
166 words
A language processing system using object networks as set forth in claim 7, wherein there is a function execution management facility (60) which makes pairs of requests and responses, such as a request for processing for generation of a structure network (71) from the processing construction management facility (13) and the resultant response or a request for processing for generation of an element network (72) from the structure network and the response to the same, and performs services repeating a request to a lower layer network or a response to a higher layer network and the function execution management facility performs transformations from generic functions to actual functions and control of the indication for checking the validity during execution, wherein if the result is that it is incomplete, a new pair of a request and response is conversely issued to a higher layer network to complete the same, while if complete, it is executed and processing is performed for the response to the higher layer network.
