PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the retrieval speed and to reduce the work burden on operator.;SOLUTION: A fundamental character conversion table 3 where one KANJI (Chinese character) character and one fundamental KANJI character are made correspond to each other and a census register database 4 where KANJI names for retrieval are held as data besides KANJI names are provided, and census register data is retrieved by simple and plain KANJI on the basis of plain KANJI names for retrieval generated by using the fundamental character conversion table 3. When data are registered, a census register information processing part 1 uses the fundamental character KANJI table 3 and converts individual characters of a KANJI name into fundamental KANJI characters to generate a KANJI name for retrieval and registers it in the census register database 4. At the time of retrieval, the fundamental character conversion table 3 is used to convert individual retrieval characters inputted from a terminal device 2 to fundamental KANJI characters, and they are collated with KANJI names for retrieval registered in the census register database 3.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
