9. The information attachment apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the determination unit includes a recognition processing unit performing character recognition processing of the multimedia data, wherein a character recognition processing result acquired by the recognition processing unit and the search word are compared for determination.
7. An information attachment apparatus having a computer for attaching meta-information for management to multimedia data, the apparatus comprising: a monitoring unit monitoring whether or not a search frequency, in predetermined periods, of a search word satisfies a predetermined criterion, wherein the predetermined criterion is satisfied if a ratio of a current search frequency of the search word to a past search frequency of the search word is equal to or more than a predetermined ratio; a determination unit determining whether or not at least a portion of the search word matches a character recognition processing result of the multimedia data when the search frequency of the search word is determined to satisfy the predetermined criterion by the monitoring unit; and a registration unit registering the search word as meta-information of the multimedia data when at least the portion of the search word matches the character recognition processing result; wherein the registration unit registers the search word, when the search word is registered as meta-information of the multimedia data, by assigning priorities in accordance with a certainty factor of the character recognition processing result matching the search word, wherein the past search frequency is obtained from first average search frequencies of each search word during a first time period prior to a predetermined time, and the current search frequency is obtained from second average search frequencies of each search word during a second period within a specified time length of the from a time of acquisition of the search word, the second period being shorter than the first period.
