Abstract;We developed a "Knowledge Database" which is highly suited to consumer electronic products and we also proposed an information retrieval system as a practical use of its architecture. The Knowledge Database we defined has a well-organized data structure which comprises a set of product-specific information generated based on the analysis of a great deal of text data related to the product. It was expected that the database would enable the information retrieval system to provide appropriate results that reflected some product-specific knowledge. As a result of applying the method to the "Drive Planner" functionality on the car navigation system, we succeeded in retrieving a variety of spots for sight seeing that could meet specified requirements such as region, purpose of trip and the presence of passengers.
