A user initially judges whether each of pieces of information input as learning information is necessary or unnecessary, matrix elements of an affirmative metric signal indicating the records of the necessary information and matrix elements of a negative metric signal indicating the records of unnecessary information are calculated in a learning unit from a plurality of keywords attached to the necessary information and the unnecessary information. Thereafter, a plurality of keywords attached to each piece of information data input to be estimated are converted into a vector in a vector generating unit, and an affirmative score signal and a negative score signal are calculated from the vector and the affirmative and negative metric signals in a score calculating unit. A value of the affirmative score signal is increased when many of the keywords attached to a corresponding piece of information data are attached to the necessary information, and a value of the negative score signal is increased when many of the keywords attached to a corresponding piece of information data are attached to the unnecessary information. Thereafter, necessity of each piece of information data is calculated from the affirmative and negative score signals, and the pieces of information data are stored in an unread data storing unit in order of necessity. Accordingly, information having a high necessity for the user can be easily retrieved from a large volume of information.

The present invention provides a spooler that adequately manages and controls print jobs, which require establishment of mutual communication, with relieved loading. In the arrangement of the present invention, a buffer is provided corresponding to each printer PRT connected to a network LAN to successively spool print jobs transferred from clients. In the case of a conventional print job, a print queue and whole print data are spooled in the buffer. In the case of an interactive print job that requires mutual communication between the client and the printer, only the print queue is stored in the buffer, while a wait signal is output to the client to wait for transmission of the print data of the print job. In order to carry out the interactive print job, printing is executed via a bypass that establishes the mutual communication not via the buffer but directly between a print job execution unit and the client.
