[0026] Hereinafter, examples of modes for implementing the technology of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0027] First, refer to Figure 1 , the structure of the information processing system 10 involved in this embodiment is described. Figure 1 As shown, the information processing system 10 includes a user terminal 12 used by a user such as a doctor and an information processing device 14. Examples of the user terminal 12 include a tablet computer and a personal computer. Examples of the information processing device 14 include a server computer and a cloud server. The user terminal 12 and the information processing device 14 are examples of a document creation support device involved in the disclosed technology.

[0028] The user terminal 12 and the information processing device 14 are respectively connected to the network and can transmit and receive data to each other.

[0029] Next, refer to Figure 2 , the hardware structure of the user terminal 12 involved in this embodiment is described. Figure 2 As shown, the user terminal 12 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20 , a memory 21 , a display 24 , an input device 25 , and a network I / F (InterFace) 26 .

[0030] The CPU 20 realizes various functions by executing a program stored in the storage unit 22 described later. The CPU 20 is an example of a processor according to the disclosed technology.

[0031] The memory 21 includes a storage unit 22 and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 23. The RAM 23 is a temporary storage memory, such as a RAM such as an SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) or a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).

[0032] The storage unit 22 is a nonvolatile memory, and is implemented by at least one of a HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), and a flash memory, for example. The storage unit 22 as a storage medium stores a screen display program 30. The CPU 20 reads the screen display program 30 from the storage unit 22, expands it into the RAM 23, and executes the expanded screen display program 30.

[0033] The screen display program 30 is a program for causing the display 24 to display various screens based on data received from the information processing device 14 via the network I / F 26. The screen display program 30 includes, for example, a program of a web browser.

[0034] The display 24 is a device for displaying various screens, such as a liquid crystal display or an EL (Electro Luminescence) display. The input device 25 is a device for user input, such as at least one of a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone for voice input, a touch pad for proximity input including contact, and a camera for gesture input. The network I / F 26 is an interface for connecting to a network. The bus 27 connects the CPU 20, the memory 21, the display 24, the input device 25, and the network I / F 26.

[0035] Next, refer to Figure 3 , the hardware structure of the information processing device 14 involved in this embodiment is described. Figure 3 As shown, the information processing device 14 includes a CPU 40 , a memory 41 , a display 44 , an input device 45 , and a network I / F 46 .

[0036] The CPU 40 realizes various functions by executing a program stored in a storage unit 42 described later. The CPU 40 is an example of a processor according to the disclosed technology.

[0037] The memory 41 includes a storage unit 42 and a RAM 43. The RAM 43 is a temporary storage memory, for example, a RAM such as SRAM or DRAM.

[0038] The storage unit 42 is a nonvolatile memory, for example, implemented by at least one of a HDD, an SSD, and a flash memory. The storage unit 42 as a storage medium stores an information processing program 50. The CPU 40 reads the information processing program 50 from the storage unit 42, expands it into the RAM 43, and executes the expanded information processing program 50.

[0039] In addition, a plurality of medical documents 52 created by the user are stored in the storage unit 42. The medical document 52 is an example of a reference document for creating an object document. In the present embodiment, the object document represents a document to which a character string is added, such as a new document and a document being edited. In the present embodiment, an example of a summary document such as a discharge summary being applied as an object document is described. As an example of a medical document 52, an electronic medical record can be cited. The medical document 52 is created for each patient, and by attaching patient identification information such as a patient ID as attribute information of the medical document 52, it is possible to identify which patient the medical document is related to. In addition, the medical document 52 can also be identified by entering the patient ID in a specific input column in the document or storing it in a folder for each patient, so that it is possible to identify which patient the medical document is related to. Similarly, the medical document 52 can also identify the creation date. The medical document 52 is not limited to an electronic medical record, but may also be a reading report and a medical fee statement called a receipt. In addition, the reference document is not limited to the medical document 52, but may also be a document other than the medical document 52 used to create a summary document. Furthermore, the target document is not limited to the summary document, but may be a newly created medical document 52 using multiple medical documents 52 that have already been created. Furthermore, the target document may also be a document such as a research log that has been created using multiple medical documents 52 that have already been created. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case where the medical document 52 is stored in the storage unit 42 of the information processing device 14 is used as an example for explanation, but the disclosed technology is not limited to this method. For example, the medical document 52 may be stored in another data storage server and obtained via a network.

[0040] The display 44 is a device for displaying various screens, such as a liquid crystal display or an EL display. The input device 45 is a device for the user to input, such as at least one of a keyboard, a mouse, a microphone for voice input, a touch panel for proximity input including contact, and a camera for gesture input. The network I / F 46 is an interface for connecting to a network. The bus 47 connects the CPU 40, the memory 41, the display 44, the input device 45, and the network I / F 46.

[0041] Users such as doctors create medical documents 52 such as electronic medical records for hospitalized patients every day, and create a target document called a discharge summary by aggregating multiple medical documents 52 created during hospitalization at a specific time such as when discharged from the hospital.

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the information processing system 10 involved in this embodiment displays an object document creation screen 100 for creating an object document and a reference document display screen 102 on the display 24 of the user terminal 12. The reference document display screen 102 displays a medical document 52 as an example of a reference document for creating an object document. Thus, the information processing system 10 supports the user's creation of an object document.

[0043] Next, refer to Figure 5 , the functional structure of the information processing device 14 is described. Figure 5 As shown, the information processing device 14 includes a receiving unit 60, an acquiring unit 62, a dividing unit 64, a determining unit 66, an assigning unit 68, and an output unit 70. The receiving unit 60, the acquiring unit 62, the dividing unit 64, the determining unit 66, the assigning unit 68, and the output unit 70 function as the CPU 40 executing the information processing program 50.

[0044] The receiving unit 60 receives the identification information of the patient (hereinafter referred to as the "target patient") who is the object of creation of the target document and the period (hereinafter referred to as the "target period") for creation of the target document. As an example of the target period, the hospitalization period when the patient is hospitalized once can be cited. The identification information of the target patient and the target period are input by the user in the user terminal 12, for example, and sent from the user terminal 12 to the information processing device 14. In addition, the target period can be stored in association with the identification information of the patient, and the target period corresponding to the patient can be derived based on the input of the identification information of the patient by the user.

[0045] The acquisition unit 62 acquires a plurality of medical documents 52 created for the target patient during the target period from the storage unit 42 using the identification information of the target patient and the target period received by the reception unit 60 .

[0046] The segmentation unit 64 segments each of the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired by the acquisition unit 62 into a plurality of partial documents. In the present embodiment, the segmentation unit 64 segments the medical document 52 into a plurality of partial documents in units of one sentence. In addition, the segmentation unit based on the segmentation unit 64 is not limited to one sentence, but may be a unit of multiple sentences or a unit of paragraphs.

[0047] like Figure 6As shown, the determination unit 66 determines whether each partial document divided by the division unit 64 is repeated with other partial documents. Specifically, the determination unit 66 sequentially selects each partial document as a partial document of a duplication determination object, and determines whether the selected partial document of a duplication determination object is repeated with a partial document other than the duplication determination object. The combination of the partial document of the duplication determination object and the partial document other than the duplication determination object includes a combination included in different medical documents 52 and a combination included in the same medical document 52.

[0048] In this embodiment, the determination unit 66 derives the degree of matching between the two partial documents, and when the derived degree of matching is greater than a threshold, it is determined that the two partial documents used to derive the degree of matching contain duplicate parts. As the degree of matching between the two partial documents, an evaluation index for evaluating the degree of matching between two documents such as ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation) can be applied. That is, Figure 6 Even if the two partial documents do not completely match, such as "9 / 19 urine volume maintained at 200m / H, CVP 10mmHg" and "urine volume maintained at 200m / H, CVP 10mmHg" in the example shown, the two partial documents can be determined to be duplicated. The threshold for determining the duplication can be adjusted by the user.

[0049] Moreover, if Figure 6 As shown, the determination unit 66 assigns a partial document ID, which is an example of identification information for identifying a partial document, to each partial document. At this time, the determination unit 66 assigns the same partial document ID to a plurality of partial documents determined to be duplicated.

[0050] In addition, for example, relatively short sentences such as "See the figure below" may use the same sentence even if the meanings are different. Therefore, the determination unit 66 may exclude partial documents with a certain number of characters or less from being the object of duplication determination.

[0051] Furthermore, for example, when two partial documents represent inspection items and numerical values ​​of the inspection results of the inspection items, and one partial document is "A value is 0.2" and the other partial document is "A value is 0.8", the matching degree between the two partial documents becomes a relatively high value. However, even if the parts representing the inspection items are matched, when the numerical information representing the inspection results is different, the two partial documents are considered to be different. Therefore, even if the matching degree between the two partial documents is above the threshold, when the numerical information respectively contained in the two partial documents is different, the determination unit 66 can determine that the two partial documents used to derive the matching degree do not contain a duplicate part, that is, are non-duplicate.

[0052] Similarly, for example, two partial documents represent inspection items and the evaluation of the inspection results of the inspection items. When one of the partial documents is "high A value" and the other partial document is "low A value", the matching degree between the two partial documents becomes a relatively high value. However, even if the parts representing the inspection items are matched, when the keywords representing the evaluation of the inspection results are different, the two partial documents are considered to be different. Therefore, even if the matching degree between the two partial documents is above the threshold, when the specific keywords respectively contained in the two partial documents are different, the determination unit 66 can determine that the two partial documents used to derive the matching degree do not contain repeated parts, that is, non-repetitive. As specific keywords at this time, for example, keywords representing state changes or numerical changes, or keywords representing the determination results relative to a reference value and "high" and "low", "rising" and "falling", and "positive" and "negative" can be cited.

[0053] Furthermore, the determination unit 66 may weight specific keywords when deriving the degree of match between two partial documents. For example, when the number of words matched as the degree of match is used, the determination unit 66 counts the word corresponding to the specific keyword as 1.5 instead of 1, thereby weighting it so that the degree of match becomes higher. Examples of specific keywords at this time include names of diseases and names of treatments such as surgery included in the medical word library.

[0054] The assigning unit 68 assigns an importance (hereinafter referred to as "first importance") to each of the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired by the acquisition unit 62. That is, the first importance is associated with each of the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired by the acquisition unit 62. The assigning unit 68 may assign an importance designated by a user as the first importance, or may assign an importance based on a keyword or the like contained in the medical document 52 as the first importance.

[0055] Furthermore, the assigning unit 68 assigns an importance (hereinafter referred to as "second importance") to each of the plurality of partial documents obtained by the segmentation process by the segmentation unit 64. That is, the second importance is associated with each of the plurality of partial documents obtained by the segmentation process by the segmentation unit 64. The assigning unit 68 may assign an importance designated by the user as the second importance, or may assign an importance based on a keyword or the like contained in the partial document as the second importance.

[0056] The output unit 70 outputs the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired by the acquisition unit 62 to the user terminal 12 via the network I / F 46. At this time, the output unit 70 also outputs the assigned information of the medical document 52 to the user terminal 12 via the network I / F 46. Examples of the assigned information include the aforementioned partial document ID, the first importance, and the second importance.

[0057] Next, refer to Figure 7 , the functional structure of the user terminal 12 is described. Figure 7 As shown, the user terminal 12 includes an acquisition unit 80, an acceptance unit 82, and a display control unit 84. The CPU 20 functions as the acquisition unit 80, the acceptance unit 82, and the display control unit 84 by executing the screen display program 30.

[0058] The acquisition unit 80 acquires the plurality of medical documents 52 transmitted from the information processing device 14 via the network I / F 26 .

[0059] The accepting unit 82 accepts various operations of the user via the input device 25. For example, the accepting unit 82 accepts selection of a medical document 52 in the reference document display screen 102 by the user.

[0060] like Figure 8 As shown, the display control unit 84 displays a target document creation screen 100 for creating a target document and a reference document display screen 102 for displaying a medical document 52 for creating a target document on the display 24. The target document creation screen 100 includes an input field 110 for information of a target patient, an input field 112 for information of the target patient at the time of hospitalization and discharge, an input field 114 for diagnosis results of the target patient such as a disease name, and an input field 116 for the target patient's hospitalization history.

[0061] The reference document display screen 102 includes a display area 120 for displaying information related to the target period, a display area 122 for displaying information for the user to set for highlighting, and a display area 124 for displaying a plurality of medical documents 52 .

[0062] For example, the date of the target period, the number of hospitalization days, the number of days that have passed since the surgery date, and the number of medical documents 52 created on each day during the target period are displayed in the display area 120 .

[0063] For example, a check box for designating the first importance of the medical document 52 to be highlighted and a check box for designating whether to non-highlight repeated sentences are displayed in the display area 122. Figure 8 As shown in the example of , the user specifies that repeated sentences are not to be displayed with emphasis by checking the check box of the repeated sentences.

[0064] When a plurality of medical documents 52 are displayed in the display area 124 of the reference document display screen 102, the display control unit 84 de-emphasizes the repeated portions contained in the medical documents 52 relative to the non-repeated portions. The repeated portions involved in this embodiment represent the partial documents determined to be repeated, and the non-repeated portions represent the partial documents determined to be non-repeated.

[0065] At this time, if Fig. 9 As shown, the display control unit 84 displays the partial documents that are determined to be duplicated in the display area 124 in a non-emphasized manner relative to the partial documents that are displayed earlier, according to the display order of the plurality of medical documents 52. Fig. 9 In the example, as the display order of multiple medical documents 52, the display order in which the newer the creation date of the medical document 52, the higher the display position of the medical document 52 is applied. That is, the display order represents the order of display positions. In addition, the display order is not limited to the order of the newest date, and may be other orders such as the order of the earliest date or the order of the first highest importance. Therefore, one partial document in the combination of partial documents determined to be repeated is not displayed in a non-emphasized manner relative to the partial documents determined to be non-repeating, and partial documents other than the one partial document are displayed in a non-emphasized manner relative to the partial documents determined to be non-repeating. In the present embodiment, the partial document whose display order is the first is not displayed in a non-emphasized manner but is set to the same display mode as the non-repeating part, and the partial documents whose display order is the second or later are displayed in a non-emphasized manner.

[0066] And, in Fig. 9 In the example, multiple medical documents 52 are displayed in a table format, one row of the table corresponds to one medical document 52, the importance column shows the first importance assigned to the medical document 52, and the content column shows the content of the medical document 52. Fig. 9 In the example of , the item list shows the classification of the medical document 52. Examples of classification include "Subject: Subject (subjective information)", "Object: Object (objective information)", "Assessment (assessment)" and "Plan (plan)". Fig. 9 In the example, the first letter of the word indicating the classification corresponding to the item column is recorded. In addition, "#" corresponding to the question list is also recorded in the item column. The questions described here include at least one of the medical abnormalities (diseases), illnesses, simple observation results, past medical history, and social events found by the doctor in the patient.

[0067] like Fig. 9 As shown, relative to "Sedation continues." which is one of the partial documents included in the medical document 52 created at "2022 / 9 / 21" which is the previous display order, "Sedation continues." which is one of the partial documents included in the medical document 52 created at "2022 / 9 / 20" which is the later display order, is non-emphasized.

[0068] The non-emphasized display mentioned here is a display that is not conspicuous, for example, it means that the characters are displayed in a display color (for example, gray) that is set to be a less conspicuous color relative to the reference display color (for example, black). Fig. 9In the example, “Sedation is continuing.” contained in the medical document 52 created on “2022 / 9 / 21” is displayed in black, and “Sedation is continuing.” contained in the medical document 52 created on “2022 / 9 / 20” is displayed in gray.

[0069] The display control unit 84 can determine whether the partial documents included in the plurality of medical documents 52 are duplicate partial documents by determining whether the partial document IDs assigned to the partial documents are the same.

[0070] In addition, for example, a new medical document 52 is sometimes created by copying the content of a previously created medical document 52 and then appending the new content. In this case, the medical document 52 includes a relatively large number of repeated portions. In contrast, for example, when only one partial document is determined to be repeated among the 20 partial documents included in the medical document 52, the possibility that the one partial document is accidentally matched is relatively high. Therefore, when the proportion of the component of the partial documents determined to be repeated to the component of the medical document 52 is below a threshold, the display control unit 84 may not de-emphasize the partial documents determined to be repeated contained in the medical document 52 relative to the partial documents determined to be non-repeating. The non-de-emphasis display mentioned here means, for example, displaying the partial documents determined to be repeated in the same display mode as the partial documents determined to be non-repeating.

[0071] Furthermore, in a medical document 52 that contains a relatively large number of repeated portions, the display of the repeated portions is sometimes troublesome for the user. Therefore, in a case where the proportion of the portion of the partial document determined to be repeated in the portion of the medical document 52 is greater than a threshold value, the display control unit 84 may set at least a portion of the partial document determined to be repeated contained in the medical document 52 to be non-displayed. Furthermore, for example, in a case where the number of partial documents determined to be repeated in the medical document 52 is continuous for more than a certain number, the display control unit 84 may set at least a portion of the continuous partial documents to be non-displayed. Furthermore, for example, in a case where the number of characters in the partial document determined to be repeated in the medical document 52 is greater than a threshold value, the display control unit 84 may set at least a portion of the partial document, such as the characters greater than the threshold value, to be non-displayed.

[0072] Furthermore, when a plurality of medical documents 52 are displayed in the display area 124, the display control unit 84 may set non-display for at least a portion of the medical document 52 determined to be a duplicate of all partial documents included in the medical document 52. At this time, the display control unit 84 may set non-display for the entire medical document 52 determined to be a duplicate of all partial documents, or may set display for the first partial document or word of the medical document 52 and set non-display for the portion other than the first partial document or word.

[0073] And, if Fig. 9 As shown, when a plurality of medical documents 52 are displayed in the display area 124, the display control unit 84 may highlight the medical document 52 having a relatively high first importance relative to the medical document 52 having a relatively low first importance. For example, the display control unit 84 may also highlight the medical document 52 having a first importance greater than a threshold relative to the medical document 52 having a first importance less than the threshold. And, for example, the display control unit 84 may also highlight the medical document 52 having a predetermined number of medical documents 52 from the medical document 52 having a high first importance relative to the medical document 52 having a first importance lower than the predetermined number of medical documents 52. The highlighted display mentioned here is a display that makes it conspicuous, for example, indicating that the background color is set to a conspicuous color (for example, light green) relative to the base color (for example, white). Fig. 9 In the example, the first importance is represented by three levels of "high", "medium" and "low", and the medical document 52 with the first importance of "high" is highlighted relative to the medical documents 52 with the first importance of "medium" and "low".

[0074] And, if Fig. 9 As shown, the display control unit 84 can de-emphasize the repeated portion included in the medical document 52 with a relatively high first importance relative to the non-repeated portion. Fig. 9 In the example, in the medical document 52 whose first importance is "high" in "2022 / 9 / 19", the medical document 52 is highlighted and the partial document of the first line determined to be duplicated is not highlighted.

[0075] In contrast, the display control unit 84 may prioritize emphasized display based on the first importance over de-emphasized display of the duplicated portion. Specifically, the display control unit 84 may not de-emphasize the duplicated portion included in the medical document 52 having a relatively high first importance, relative to the non-duplicate portion.

[0076] And, if Fig. 9As shown, when a plurality of medical documents 52 are displayed in the display area 124, the display control unit 84 may highlight and display partial documents having a relatively high second importance relative to partial documents having a relatively low second importance. For example, the display control unit 84 may also highlight and display partial documents having a second importance greater than a threshold relative to partial documents having a second importance less than the threshold. And, for example, the display control unit 84 may also highlight and display partial documents having a predetermined number of partial documents from the partial documents having a high second importance relative to partial documents having a second importance lower than the predetermined number of partial documents. The highlighted display mentioned here is a display that makes it conspicuous, for example, indicating that characters are displayed in a display color (for example, red) that is set to a conspicuous color relative to a display color (for example, black) that serves as a reference. Fig. 9 In the example, the second importance is expressed in two levels, "high" and "low", and the part of the document whose second importance is "high" is expressed in bold, and the part of the document whose second importance is "low" is expressed in fine. Fig. 9 In the figure, characters written in bold indicate characters in red.

[0077] Furthermore, the display control unit 84 may de-emphasize the partial documents determined to be duplicated relative to the partial documents determined to be non-duplicates for the partial documents with relatively high second importance. In this case, de-emphasis based on duplication determination takes precedence over emphasis based on the second importance.

[0078] Furthermore, the display control unit 84 may not de-emphasize partial documents determined as duplicates with relatively high second importance, compared to partial documents determined as non-duplicates. In this case, emphasizing display based on the second importance takes precedence over de-emphasizing display based on duplication determination.

[0079] Furthermore, the display control unit 84 may realize emphasized display and non-emphasized display by making the character color and the background color different, or by making the character size and the character line thickness different.

[0080] Furthermore, in order to be able to identify the combination of the second importance and whether it is repeated in each partial document, the display control unit 84 may make the display method different according to the combination of the second importance and whether it is repeated. At this time, the display control unit 84 may highlight and display the partial documents whose second importance is "high" and are determined to be non-repeating in red and in bold. Furthermore, at this time, the display control unit 84 may highlight and display the partial documents whose second importance is "high" and are determined to be repeated in red and in a non-emphasized manner in a thin font. Furthermore, at this time, the display control unit 84 may display the partial documents whose second importance is "low" and are determined to be non-repeating in black and in a thin font. Furthermore, at this time, the display control unit 84 may display the partial documents whose second importance is "low" and are determined to be repeated in gray and in a non-emphasized manner.

[0081] And, if Fig.10 As shown, in the case where a partial document determined to be repeated contains a test item or a medical procedure name (for example, the name of a treatment such as an operation), the display control unit 84 can, for the partial document, according to the display order of multiple medical documents 52, de-emphasize the partial documents displayed in the order after the order corresponding to the number of times the test represented by the test item or the medical procedure represented by the medical procedure name has been performed, relative to the partial documents displayed in the previous order. At this time, for example, the display control unit 84 can refer to the data that establishes an association between the test items of each patient and the date of implementation of the test, and derive the number of times the test has been performed on the target patient during the target period. Fig.10 The following example is shown: "Inspection A" is implemented twice during the target period, and there are 3 partial documents containing "Inspection A" that are determined to be repeated. The partial documents with a display order of the first and second are not de-emphasized, and the partial documents with a display order of the third and subsequent partial documents are de-emphasized.

[0082] And, if Fig.11 As shown, in the case where a portion of the documents determined to be repeated contain examination items or medical behavior names, the display control unit 84 can divide the target period into multiple periods using the date of implementation of the examination represented by the examination item or the medical behavior represented by the medical behavior name as a dividing point. At this time, the display control unit 84 can, for the partial documents determined to be repeated and containing examination items or medical behavior names in each period, de-emphasize the partial documents displayed later relative to the partial documents displayed earlier in the display order of the multiple medical documents 52. Fig.11 , an example is shown in which, in each period, the partial document whose display order is the first is not displayed in a non-emphasized manner but is displayed in the same manner as the non-overlapping portion, and the partial documents whose display order is the second or later are displayed in a non-emphasized manner.

[0083] Furthermore, the display control unit 84 may display the partial documents differently according to the number of the repeated partial documents for the partial documents determined to be repeated. For example, the display control unit 84 may display the partial document with the first display order in the same display mode as the non-repeating portion for the partial documents with the number of the repeated partial documents less than a threshold value, and de-emphasize the display of the partial documents with the second and subsequent display orders relative to the non-repeating portion. At this time, the display control unit 84 may display the partial document with the first display order relative to the non-repeating portion for the partial documents with the number of the repeated partial documents greater than a threshold value, and de-emphasize the display of the partial documents with the second and subsequent display orders relative to the non-repeating portion.

[0084] Furthermore, for example, the display control unit 84 may highlight the first partial document in the display order relative to the non-repeating portion, and de-emphasize the second and subsequent partial documents in the display order relative to the non-repeating portion (for example, display them in gray character color) for partial documents in which the number of repeated partial documents is less than the threshold. In this case, the display control unit 84 may de-emphasize the second and subsequent partial documents in the display order relative to the non-repeating portion for partial documents in which the number of repeated partial documents is greater than the threshold, and make the degree of de-emphasis different from the case in which the number of repeated partial documents is less than the threshold. In this case, the second and subsequent partial documents are displayed in gray bold characters, for example.

[0085] The display control unit 84 transfers at least a portion of the medical document 52 selected on the reference document display screen 102 to the target document creation screen 100. For example, the display control unit 84 may transfer the entire medical document 52 selected on the reference document display screen 102 to the input field 116 of the target document creation screen 100.

[0086] Furthermore, when the medical document 52 selected on the reference document display screen 102 includes a duplicate portion, the display control unit 84 can transfer the portion of the selected medical document 52 excluding the duplicate portion to the target document creation screen.

[0087] like Fig.12 As shown, when multiple medical documents 52 are selected in the reference document display screen 102 and the reference documents of the selected multiple medical documents 52 each contain the same repeated part, the display control unit 84 can transfer as follows. That is, at this time, the display control unit 84 can transfer the parts of the selected multiple medical documents 52 that have the same repeated parts except for one identical repeated part to the object document creation screen 100. Fig.12In the figure, the following example is shown: among the partial documents determined to be repeated, the partial documents that are displayed in the front order are transferred, and the partial documents that are displayed in the back order, that is, the partial documents that are not highlighted, are not transferred. At this time, the multiple medical documents 52 selected include the cases of simultaneous selection and the cases of sequential selection. In the case where multiple medical documents 52 are selected sequentially, when the medical document 52 selected later contains a repeated part with the medical document 52 that has already been transferred, the part other than the repeated part of the medical document 52 selected later is transferred.

[0088] And, if Fig.13 As shown, the display control unit 84 can display the medical documents 52 containing the same repeated parts by displaying the return button 130 and the forward button 132 in the display area 124, in a state where the user can perform operations to track the same repeated parts. For example, the user selects one of the partial documents determined to be repeated by clicking or dragging. And, for example, the user selects one of the partial documents determined to be repeated that contains the keyword through a keyword search. Then, if the user specifies the forward button 132, the display control unit 84 updates the display to a state in which a partial document determined to be repeated with the selected partial document and whose display order is later is selected. On the other hand, if the user specifies the return button 130, the display control unit 84 updates the display to a state in which a partial document determined to be repeated with the selected partial document and whose display order is earlier is selected. In this way, the user can track the selected repeated part.

[0089] Furthermore, the display control unit 84 may display a list of medical documents 52 containing the same repeated portion on the reference document display screen 102. For example, the display control unit 84 may display the contents of the medical documents 52 containing the same repeated portion at a glance, or may display attribute information such as the title or creation date of the medical documents 52 at a glance. Furthermore, the list at this time may be displayed as a pop-up.

[0090] Next, refer to Fig.14 , the function of the information processing device 14 is described. The CPU 40 executes the information processing program 50 to execute Fig.14 The duplicate determination process shown. Fig.14 The duplication determination process shown is executed when, for example, a user inputs an instruction to start execution.

[0091] exist Fig.14In step S10, the receiving unit 60 receives the identification information of the target patient and the target period. In step S12, the acquiring unit 62 uses the identification information of the target patient and the target period received in step S10 to acquire a plurality of medical documents 52 created for the target patient during the target period from the storage unit 42. In step S14, as described above, the segmenting unit 64 segments each of the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired in step S12 into a plurality of partial documents.

[0092] In step S16, as described above, the determination unit 66 determines whether each partial document divided in step S14 overlaps with another partial document. In step S18, the assigning unit 68 assigns the first importance to each of the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired in step S10. In step S20, the assigning unit 68 assigns the second importance to each of the plurality of partial documents acquired through the division process in step S14.

[0093] In step S22, the output unit 70 outputs the plurality of medical documents 52 acquired in step S10 to the user terminal 12 via the network I / F 46. At this time, the output unit 70 also outputs the assigned information of the medical document 52 to the user terminal 12 via the network I / F 46. If the processing of step S22 is completed, the duplication determination processing is completed. In addition, in this duplication determination processing, at least one of step S18 and step S20 may not be executed.

[0094] Next, refer to Fig.15 , the role of the user terminal 12 is described. The CPU 20 executes the screen display program 30 to execute Fig.15 The display control process shown. Fig.15 The display control process shown is performed, for example, when a plurality of medical documents 52 transmitted from the information processing apparatus 14 by the process of step S22 described above is received by the user terminal 12 .

[0095] exist Fig.15 In step S30, the acquisition unit 80 acquires a plurality of medical documents 52 sent from the information processing device 14 via the network I / F 26. In step S32, the display control unit 84 displays the object document creation screen 100 for creating the object document and the reference document display screen 102 for displaying the medical document 52 for creating the object document on the display 24. At this time, as described above, the display control unit 84 de-emphasizes the repeated portions contained in the medical document 52 relative to the non-repeated portions.

[0096] In step S34, the receiving unit 82 waits until it accepts the selection of the medical document 52 in the reference document display screen 102 by the user. If the receiving unit 82 accepts the selection of the medical document 52 in the reference document display screen 102 by the user, the processing is transferred to step S36. In step S36, as described above, the display control unit 84 transfers at least a portion of the medical document 52 selected on the reference document display screen 102 to the object document creation screen 100. If the processing of step S36 is completed, the processing returns to step S34. For example, if the user performs an end operation via the input device 25, the display control processing ends.

[0097] As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to effectively support the creation of a target document using a plurality of reference documents.

[0098] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the user terminal 12 may have at least a part of the functional units possessed by the information processing device 14, and the information processing device 14 may have at least a part of the functional units possessed by the user terminal 12. For example, the target document creation screen 100 may be generated by the information processing device 14 and provided in a streaming manner to the user terminal 12. Furthermore, each functional unit possessed by the user terminal 12 and the information processing device 14 may be possessed by one computer.

[0099] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the display control unit 84 displays the target document creation screen 100 and the reference document display screen 102 when the user creates the target document, but the disclosed technology is not limited to this method. For example, when the user refers to the reference document, the display control unit 84 may only display the reference document display screen 102.

Furthermore, multiple processing units may be composed of one processor.

[0102] As an example of a plurality of processing units constituted by one processor, there is the following method: as represented by computers such as clients and servers, one processor is constituted by a combination of one or more CPUs and software, and the processor functions as a plurality of processing units. Second, there is the following method: as represented by a system on chip (SoC), a processor is used that implements the functions of the entire system including a plurality of processing units by one IC (Integrated Circuit) chip.
