The user's retrieval learning amount and retrieval technical capability when the user tackles a prescribed retrieval assignment using these pieces of retrieval information are estimated and outputted to a teacher interface. A retrieval interface used by the student to create the retrieval style is edited from the teacher interface. When the retrieval result is transmitted, a question statement and an annotation statement are transmitted together with the retrieval result to the student. As for teacher supporting function, the system has a retrieval assignment creating function, a grade judgement supporting function, and as for student support function, the system has a function to motivate the student to read a patent description and to assist student's understanding of it, a function to guide students to a correct answer, a function to provide reference information, a function to create a patent map, etc.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
