The new crown pneumonia (COVID-19) has become a global epidemic. The disease has spread to most countries and poses a challenge to the healthcare system. Contact tracing technology is an effective way for public health to deal with diseases. Many experts have studied traditional contact tracing and developed digital contact tracking. In order to better understand the field of contact tracking, it is necessary to analyze the development of contact tracking in the field of computer science by bibliometrics. The purpose of this research is to use literature statistics and topic analysis to characterize the research literature of contact tracking in the field of computer science, to gain an in-depth understanding of the literature development status of contact tracking and the trend of hot topics over the past decade. In order to achieve the aforementioned goals, we conducted a bibliometric study in this paper. The study uses data collected from the Scopus database. Which contains more than 10,000 articles, including more than 2,000 in the field of computer science. For popular trends, we use VOSviewer for visual analysis. The number of contact tracking documents published annually in the computer field is increasing. At present, there are 200 to 300 papers published in the field of computer science each year, and the number of uncited papers is relatively small. Through the visual analysis of the paper, we found that the hot topic of contact tracking has changed from the past "mathematical model," "biological model," and "algorithm" to the current "digital contact tracking," "privacy," and "mobile application" and other topics. Contact tracking is currently a hot research topic. By selecting the most cited papers, we can display high-quality literature in contact tracking and characterize the development trend of the entire field through topic analysis. This is useful for students and researchers new to field of contact tracking ai well as for presenting our results to other subjects. Especially when comprehensive research cannot be conducted due to time constraints or lack of precise research questions, our research analysis can provide value for it.

It is important to segment a text, which is independent upon any text-embedded auxiliary information. This paper presents a technique for dividing the text into field-coherent passages. The presented method is based upon extracting field-associated terms from the text measuring how the topics grow, shrink and shift from sentence to sentence. We propose measures of topic continuity and of topic transition and suggest how those could be used to find the boundaries among passages. After collecting 12,500 documents, we obtain $88{\%}$ for average precision and $78{\%}$ for recall in Korean training set.

We propose a technique to extract a relevant passage from text collection based on field-associated terms since they tries to concentrate relevant text to users query. Documents are supposed to be managed as a whole without any segmentation into small pieces, but the method presented is independent upon any text-embedded auxiliary information, and is based on topic continuity and transition. For users needs-relative sentences or passages, we present a passage retrieval techniques by using occurrence frequency of a field-associated term to delimit text, that is likely to be relevant to a particular topic, considering continuity and transition within topic flowing in text. We evaluate 50 Japanese documents and verify the usefulness with 82% for average precision and 63% for recall.
