Abstract: Authors are conducting research aiming to develop new interfaces that follow the mechanism of human communication, particularly focusing on human common sense. In this paper, a method is proposed which processes any "subject" using knowledge base and an Association Mechanism. In proposed method, 27 attributes of "subject" were judged by knowledge base. Moreover, an unknown word processing is proposed which deals with actor words which were not registered in the knowledge base. The result of the proposed method gave the correct answer in 75% of cases. If the "not out-of-common-sense" answers were counted as part of the "correct answers", the correct-answer ratio rose to 96%. Therefore, if the proposed method and the existing method were combined, the correct-answer ratio was approximately 85%.
