PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To match the design of a GUI to a standard design by referring to a GUI design support device by finding and outputting commonalty among software programs of detected GUI components. SOLUTION: A GUI component comparing means 11 reads in GUI component data stored in a GUI component data storage means 10 and compares them among software programs to detect GUI components having the same labels. A commonalty calculating means 12 reads in the process result of the GUI component comparing means 11 and calculates the ratio of software programs where the components having the same label are used by the components. The result is read in by a commonalty comparing means 13 to detect GUI components whose commonalty is larger than a threshold. The process result is saved in a common component data storage means 15 and an output means 16 outputs data saved in the common GUI component data storage means 15. Consequently, a reference label can be given by referring to the output data.
