Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing system, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] Administrative procedures, such as submitting birth notifications to local governments and other organizations, often require a series of interrelated procedures, such as submitting birth notifications and applying for childbirth and child care benefits, and it is common for these procedures to require the user to repeatedly enter or fill in the same information in common fields, such as the names of the parents.

[0003] Furthermore, since the administrative offices that accept these documents vary depending on the document, the current situation is that the same information is reviewed over and over again at each office. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, an example will be used in which a user who is a parent of a newborn creates and submits a birth notification for the newborn. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this example.

[0011] In the above example of birth registration, generally (1) A birth notification must be submitted to the city / ward / town / village office within 14 days of the birth, including the date of birth. (2) Childbirth and child-rearing support benefits (as provided by local governments) (3) Lump-sum Childbirth and Childcare Grant: Submit to a hospital or health insurance association office within the designated period. (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Application Form: Submit to the city / ward / town / village office in your current address within 15 days of the date of birth. (5) Child Allowance Certification Claim Account Transfer Request Form (same as (4)) (6) Child medical care benefit eligibility certification: Submit to the relevant office of your city, town or village The following procedure is used as an example.

[0012] [Configuration example of embodiment] 1, an information processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be realized by a general computer device, and includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13. The information processing device 1 is also communicatively connected to a database 2, an input terminal device 3, and an examination terminal device 4 via a communication means such as a network.

[0013] In this embodiment, the information processing device 1 processes predetermined form data. This form data includes a plurality of input fields R into which a user can input data, as shown in FIG.

[0014] The database 2 holds a plurality of form data in a state where data has been input into the input fields by each user. In one example of this embodiment, the database 2 includes a blank form database 21 for storing blank form data, and a submitted form database 22 for storing form data in a state where information has been input into the input fields by the user, as exemplified in Fig. 3. Furthermore, in one example of this embodiment, the database 2 may hold a transfer condition database 23 that is associated with type information of form data and specifies whether or not information can be transferred between form data.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 4(a), the blank form database 21 records type information (T) that identifies the type (format) of form data and input field identification information (P1, P2, ...) that identifies the input field provided for each piece of information to be entered into the form data, in association with each other.

[0016] 4(b), the submission form database 22 records, in association with one another, type information (T) for identifying the type (format) of form data generated by each user, identification information (ID) unique to each (inputted) form data, information (U) for identifying the user who inputted the information (submitted the form data), the submission date (D) of the form data, review flag information (F) indicating whether the input information related to the form data has been reviewed, and content information (S). The content information records input field identification information (P1, P2...) for identifying each input field included in the corresponding form data, input information (D1, D2...) associated with the input field identification information and entered (input) in the corresponding input field, and transcription information which, if the input information is information transcribed from another form data, becomes identification information (TID1, TID2...) of the other form data that became the source of the transcription, or becomes blank (null) otherwise.

[0017] The type information (T) may include, for example, information identifying the administrative office to which the form data is to be submitted (such as the name of the city, ward, town, village, and office), the name of the document (character string information such as "Birth Notification"), and even a revision number (version information), and this type information is common to the form data stored in the blank form database 21 and the form data (after information has been entered) stored in the submitted form database 22. In other words, when a user enters information into an input field for form data of a certain type information A stored in the blank form data 21 and stores it in the submitted form database 22, the type information of this form data will also be type information A.

[0018] Furthermore, in the following example, the input field specification information (P) includes the name of each input field (such as "name", "address", etc.) and information on rules regarding the information to be input (information indicating the type of information such as character string, numerical value, character limit, format such as telephone number, zip code, etc.). In this embodiment, the input field specification information (P) may be associated with input information identification information (information unique to each piece of information to be input such as "name", "address", "name of newborn baby") that is predetermined according to the type of information to be input into the corresponding input field. Here, the input information identification information is set so that a common input information identification information is associated with input fields into which the same information is to be input. For example, each piece of information in the so-called four basic pieces of information (name, date of birth, sex, address) is associated with a common input information identification information (pp).

[0019] The transcription condition database 23 holds transcription condition information that associates conditions (C) related to a user who inputs information with a list (L) of type information of form data including information that can be transcribed mutually in relation to the condition information, as exemplified in Fig. 5. If, for example, there is different form data for each city, ward, town, or village among the form data including information that can be transcribed, this transcription condition information is generated for each city, ward, town, or village.

[0020] In the transcription condition information illustrated in FIG. 5, the condition (C) is composed of an inquiry (Q) to the user and the user's answer (A) to the inquiry. In this transcription condition information, a list (L) of type information of form data including information that can be transcribed to each other is associated with a combination of the user's answers (A) to the above multiple inquiries (Q). The specific example shown in FIG. 5 is transcription condition information for a procedure related to birth registration, and the inquiry to the user is, (Q1) Are you the parent of the newborn? (Q2) Are you the head of the household? (Q3) Are you the head of the household (the person with the highest income)? (Q4) Are you a member of the National Health Insurance? are defined, and the combinations of these questions are listed according to whether the answer is "Yes", "No", or "Either". For example, (Q1) Regarding whether or not you are the newborn's parent, answer "Yes" (you are the newborn's parent) (Q2) When asked if they were the head of the household, they answered "No" (not the head of the household). (Q3) If you answered "No" to the question of whether you are the head of income, (Q4) Regardless of whether the person is a member of the National Health Insurance ("Yes" or "No") ("Either"), it is stipulated that information can be transferred between the procedures of "Birth Notification", application for "Childbirth and Childcare Support Grant", and application for "Children's Medical Expenses Eligibility Certification".

[0021] Next, the operation of each unit of the information processing device 1 of this embodiment will be described. The control unit 11 is a program control device such as a CPU (processor), and operates according to a program stored in the storage unit 12. The control unit 11 of this embodiment receives information indicating form data to be acquired from the examination terminal device 4, and acquires the indicated form data from the database 2.

[0022] In addition, the control unit 11 instructs the examination terminal device 4 to display a message indicating that the results of content confirmation at the transcription source are available for input fields included in the acquired form data and whose transcription source can be identified by the corresponding transcription information. The specific processing contents of the control unit 11 will be described in detail later.

[0023] The storage unit 12 is a memory device, a disk device, or the like, and holds a program executed by the control unit 11. This program may be provided by being stored in a computer-readable and non-transitory recording medium, and may be stored in the storage unit 12. The storage unit 12 also functions as a work memory for the control unit 11.

[0024] The communication unit 13 is a network interface or the like, and transmits and receives various data between the database 2, the input terminal device 3, and the examination terminal device 4 according to instructions input from the control unit 11.

[0025] The input terminal device 3 can be realized by a general personal computer (PC). This input terminal device 3 is operated by a user, accepts information input into the form data, and executes processing for recording it in the database 2. The examination terminal device 4 can also be realized by a general PC. This examination terminal device 4 is placed at an administrative counter or the like to which the form data is to be submitted, and requests the form data to be the subject of examination from the information processing device 1 in response to operation by a person in charge at the counter. Then, this examination terminal device 4 displays the information provided by the information processing device 1.

[0026] Next, the operation of the control unit 11 will be described. In the example of the present embodiment, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 - User authentication process, Accept and process form data inputs; · Guidance processing of postings, Recording and processing of completed form data; · Providing completed form data for review purposes; - Notification of review requirements, Processing of records of review results The following mainly describes each process.

[0027] [User Authentication] The information processing device 1 authenticates the user of the input terminal device 3. This authentication may be performed by using a user name and password registered in advance for each user, or by using an electronic certificate recorded on a personal information card such as a My Number card. Such authentication processing methods are widely known, so a detailed explanation is omitted here. When accepting an instruction from the user of the input terminal device 3 in the following processing, the control unit 11 is assumed to have authenticated the user of the input terminal device 3 in advance and acquired information identifying the user.

[0028] Furthermore, it is preferable that the information processing device 1 stores in advance, for each user, information on the user's address in, for example, the storage unit 12 as a user database.

[0029] [Accepting information input into form data] When the control unit 11 receives from the input terminal device 3 an instruction to input information into the form data together with information (which may be type information) that identifies the form data (blank) to be the subject of information input, the control unit 11 reads out the blank form data associated with the received type information from the blank form database 21 of the database 2. At this time, if the blank form data differs depending on the user's address, such as differing for each city, ward, town, or village, the control unit 11 refers to the address information of the authenticated user and obtains the form data corresponding to the user's address from the blank form database 21.

[0030] The control unit 11 also issues a unique identification information (ID) to the acquired form data. The control unit 11 then sends information including the input fields of the read form data to the input terminal device 3. The information sent here may be screen information written in HTML, and includes screen information that references input field specification information associated with the form data and displays input fields for information to be input in the form data together with their names. The screen information may also include a script (which can be written in JavaScript (trademark) or the like) that determines whether or not the information input in the input field complies with the rules (such as the type of information to be input, the format, etc.) defined by the rule information associated with the input field.

[0031] Furthermore, this screen information includes a link (Submit button) for sending the information entered in each entry field to the information processing device 1.

[0032] [Posting Instructions] In the example of this embodiment, when the control unit 11 causes the input terminal device 3 to display form data in this manner, if there is information that can be transcribed from previously filled-in form data for each input field included in the displayed form data (hereinafter referred to as input target form data), a display is displayed guiding the user to transcribe the information.

[0033] Specifically, the control unit 11 starts the transfer guidance process when the input target form data is displayed. In this transfer guidance process, the control unit 11 acquires the transfer condition information stored in the transfer condition database 23 in association with the type information of the displayed input target form data (the type information of the displayed input target form data is included in the list of type information (L)). Here again, if the transfer condition information is generated for each city, ward, town, or village and varies depending on the user's address, the control unit 11 refers to the address information of the authenticated user and acquires the transfer condition information corresponding to the user's address.

[0034] As illustrated in Figure 5, when the conditions related to the acquired transcription condition information consist of a combination of a question (Q) and its answer (A), the control unit 11 sequentially displays the questions on the input terminal device 3 and prompts the user to input the answer.

[0035] When the user sequentially answers these inquiries and receives the answers from the input terminal device 3, the control unit 11 acquires a list of category information corresponding to the combination of answers by referring to the acquired transcription condition information. If the acquired list of category information contains category information other than the category information of the input target form data currently presented by the input terminal device 3, the control unit 11 presents the list of category information to the user via the input terminal device 3 and inquires of the user as to whether or not to perform transcription.

[0036] As an example, when a user of the input terminal device 3 requests input of form data for a "birth notification", and the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 responds to the request by acquiring blank form data for a "birth notification" and displaying the input fields on the input terminal device 3, the control unit 11 further acquires transcription condition information (for example, that illustrated in Figure 5) stored in the transcription condition database 23 in association with the type information of the "birth notification" that is the form data to be input.

[0037] The control unit 11 receives an inquiry included in the acquired transfer condition information. (Q1) Are you the parent of the newborn? (Q2) Are you the head of the household? (Q3) Are you the head of the household (the person with the highest income)? (Q4) Are you a member of the National Health Insurance? are sequentially presented to the user, and the user's answers are accepted via the input terminal device 3.

[0038] If the user is one of the parents of a newborn, the answer may be, for example: (Q1) Are you the parent of a newborn? Answer: "Yes" (Q2) Are you the head of the household? Answer: "Yes" (Q3) Are you the head of the household (the person with the highest income)? Answer "Yes" (Q4) Are you a member of the National Health Insurance? Answer "No" For this combination of answers, a list of type information (L) is provided, as shown in FIG. (1) Birth registration (2) Childbirth and Childrearing Support Benefits (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Application Form (5) Child Allowance Certification Claim Account Transfer Request Form (6) Certification of eligibility for child medical care benefits Therefore, the control unit 11 presents this list as transcription candidates to the user via the input terminal device 3, and asks the user whether or not to transcribe.

[0039] When the user responds to the inquiry as to whether or not to transcribe, the control unit 11 displays on the input terminal device 3 a screen requesting input into each input field of the form data to be input, and prompts the user to input.

[0040] When the user inputs an indication that they have completed inputting data into each input field, the control unit 11 refers to the user's response to the inquiry as to whether or not to transcribe, and if the user has chosen not to transcribe, the control unit 11 moves on to recording the inputted form data and continues processing in order to record the form data to be entered in the submission form database 22.

[0041] On the other hand, if the user responds to the inquiry about whether or not to transcribe by indicating that he or she wishes to transcribe, the control unit 11 retrieves from the blank form database 21 blank form data that is associated with type information other than the type information of the form data to be input and that is included in the previously retrieved list of transcription target candidates, and issues unique identification information to each of the form data.

[0042] The control unit 11 then treats the acquired blank form data as candidate transfer destination form data via the input terminal device 3 and sequentially requests the user to input information into the candidate transfer destination form data. When presenting the candidate transfer destination form data, the control unit 11 compares the input information identification information of the input fields contained in the candidate transfer destination form data with the input information identification information of the form data to be input, and matches the input fields into which the same information should be input.

[0043] If an input field corresponding to the input information identification information of the input field among the information entered in the input field of the form data to be input exists in the form data to be presented, the control unit 11 transcribes the information entered in the input field into the corresponding input field of the form data to be presented and presents it to the user as entered information.

[0044] At this time, the control unit 11 records the input field specification information of the input field into which information is transcribed from the input target form data in association with identification information unique to the input target form data. In this example, the user does not need to re-enter information in the input field that has already been entered.

[0045] Specifically, in the above example where the form data to be input is a "birth notification" and one of the parents of the newborn becomes the user and inputs information (assuming the user is not a member of the National Health Insurance), the user inputs information such as the newborn's name, time of birth, place of birth, address, names and dates of birth of the parents, and registered domicile into the form data for the birth notification. Then, when the input is completed, an operation to that effect is performed on the input terminal device 3.

[0046] When the control unit 11 receives information that the user has completed input via the input terminal device 3, the control unit 11 determines that the input target form data is a candidate for transcription, which is set as "birth notification". (2) Childbirth and Childrearing Support Benefits (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Application Form (5) Child Allowance Certification Claim Account Transfer Request Form (6) Certification of eligibility for child medical care benefits The input terminal device 3 sequentially presents each of the blank form data, and prompts the user to input information into each input field. For example, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 is to input the address of the claimant for the (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Claim Form, but the information to be input into these input fields is the same as the address of the person submitting the (1) Birth Notification. Therefore, a common input information identification information should be associated with each of these input fields.

[0047] Therefore, the control unit 11 requests that information be entered into the remaining input fields of the (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Claim Form, assuming that the information entered into the input field of the address of the person submitting the birth notification, which is the input target form data, is copied and input into the input field of the claimant's address of the (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Claim Form. At this time, the control unit 11 records the input field specific information of the input field of the claimant's address of the (4) Child Allowance / Special Benefit Certification Claim Form in association with the identification information unique to the birth notification, which is the input target form data, that was issued for the birth notification.

[0048] [Variations of posting process] In addition, when the control unit 11 sequentially requests the user to input information into the acquired blank form data, if an input field corresponding to the input information identification information of the input field of the transfer-destination candidate form data that has previously received information exists in the currently presented transfer-destination candidate form data, the control unit 11 may present to the user the information entered in the transfer-destination candidate form data that has previously received information input by transcribing it into the corresponding input field of the currently presented transfer-destination candidate form data.

[0049] For example, both (4) Child Allowance and Special Benefit Certification Claim Form and (6) Application for Child Medical Expense Eligibility Certification have an input field for the pension enrollment (this input field does not generally exist in birth registration), and they should be associated with common input information identification information. Therefore, when information representing the pension enrollment is entered in this input field in (4) Child Allowance and Special Benefit Certification Claim Form, the control unit 11 may copy the guardian's address from the birth registration and enter it in (6) Application for Child Medical Expense Eligibility Certification, which then presents blank form data and requests input, and copy the information entered in the corresponding pension enrollment input field in (4) Child Allowance and Special Benefit Certification Claim Form into the input field for the type of pension enrollment (status of enrolled medical insurance). In this case, the control unit 11 associates and records the input field specific information relating to the input field of the guardian's address on the application form for (6) child medical care benefit eligibility certification with the unique identification information issued for the (4) child allowance / special benefit certification claim form that was the source of the transcription.

[0050] Further, although the user is requested to input information for the form data in the list of transcription candidates at once, the present embodiment is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 11 may retrieve unfilled form data included in the transcription candidates from the unfilled form database 21, and before sequentially requesting the user to input information into the input fields, search the submitted form database 22 for form data that is type information other than the type information of the input target form data, is associated with the type information included in the list of transcription candidates, has been recorded (submitted) by the user in the past (associated with information (U) that identifies the user), and has been recorded (submitted) within a predetermined number of days retroactively from the current date and time (date and time of processing). Here, the predetermined number of days may be set empirically, may be a common number of days for all form data, or may be set differently for each form data (for example, differently for each transcription condition information).

[0051] In this example, when the control unit 11 finds form data that satisfies these conditions through a search, it compares the input information identification information of the input field of the found form data (called the source candidate form data) with the input information identification information of the form data to be input (and the destination candidate form data to which input will subsequently be made), and matches the input fields into which the same information should be input.

[0052] Then, the control unit 11 transcribes, from among the information entered in the input field of the candidate form data from which the transcription is made, information for which there is an input field in the input target form data (or candidate form data to which the transcription is made) that corresponds to the input information identification information of the input field, into the input field of the corresponding form data, thereby making the information input.

[0053] In this case, the control unit 11 records input field specification information of the input field of the input target form data (or the transcription destination candidate form data) to which the input information is transcribed, in association with identification information unique to the form data from which the input information is transcribed.

[0054] The control unit 11 then removes type information relating to the form data to be input and the submitted form data searched for from the submission form database 22 from the list of candidates to be transcribed, and if type information relating to form data that is also a candidate to be transcribed is found in the list, it retrieves it from the blank form database 21 and sequentially requests the user to enter information into those input fields.

[0055] According to this example, the user does not need to re-enter information into the input fields where the same information as that entered in the form data previously should be entered.

[0056] When the user performs an operation to indicate that he or she has finished inputting information into each form data, the control unit 11 moves on to recording the inputted form data and continues processing in order to record the inputted form data in the submitted form database 22.

[0057] [Recording entered form data] The control unit 11 issues unique identification information (ID) for each of the input target form data and transcription target candidate form data (both of which have not yet been submitted) for which the user has completed input, and records in the submitted form database 22 the type information (T) that identifies the type (format) of the form data, the unique identification information (ID) for each form data, information (U) that identifies the user who input the information (submitted the form data), the submission date of the form data (which may be the processing date and time) (D), a review completion flag (F) indicating that the form data has not yet been reviewed, and content information (S).

[0058] Here, the content information (S) is obtained by associating input field identification information (P1, P2, ...) that identifies each input field included in the form data with input information (D1, D2, ...) entered by the user into each input field, and, if the input information in the input field is transcribed information, with identification information (TID1, TID2, ...) of the original form data from which the data was transcribed, which is associated with the input field identification information of the input field.

[0059] [Provide form data] The form data recorded in the submission form database 22 in this manner is subject to screening by the user of the screening terminal device 4. The information processing device 1 of this embodiment may provide the form data recorded in the submission form database 22 to the screening terminal device 4 for screening.

[0060] The control unit 11 that performs this processing receives from the examination terminal device 4 information that identifies the form data to be examined (identification information (ID) unique to the form data), and then reads out the form data associated with the received identification information from the submitted form database 22 in the database 2.

[0061] Then, the control unit 11 generates screen information for displaying the read form data, and sends it to the examination terminal device 4. The information sent here may also be screen information written in HTML.

[0062] [Record of review results] When the examination terminal device 4 displays the screen information sent by the control unit 11 of this information processing device 1, the user of the examination terminal device 4 refers to this screen information and examines the information entered into each input field of the form data. If the user of the examination terminal device 4 determines that all of the information entered into the input fields of the displayed form data (form data to be examined) is valid (i.e., determines that the notification or application using the form data to be examined is appropriate), he or she operates the examination terminal device 4 to send information indicating the examination result to that effect (information indicating that the examination has been completed) to the information processing device 1.

[0063] In addition, if the user of the review terminal device 4 finds that any information entered into the input fields of the form data to be reviewed is invalid or determines that the entered information is insufficient (i.e., determines that the notification or application using the form data to be reviewed is inappropriate), the user operates the review terminal device 4 to send information indicating the review result to the information processing device 1.

[0064] The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 accepts the results of the review of the form data (form data to be reviewed) related to the screen information sent from the review terminal device 4 to the review terminal device 4, and when the accepted result of the review is information indicating that the review has been completed, sets the reviewed flag information (F) that is associated with the identification information (ID) unique to the form data to be reviewed and recorded in the submitted form database 22 to "reviewed."

[0065] If the accepted screening result is not information indicating that the screening has been completed, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 may read out information for identifying a user that is associated with identification information (ID) unique to the form data to be screened and recorded in the submitted form database 22, and notify the user identified by the information to correct the information entered in the input field of the form data. This notification can be made by a well-known method such as email, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted here.

[0066] [Notice of whether or not an examination is required] One of the characteristic features of this embodiment is that the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1, in the screen information sent to the examination terminal device 4 in this manner, presents input fields of the form data that is the subject of the examination in a manner that makes it possible to distinguish between input fields that have information copied from other form data and input fields that do not.

[0067] That is, when the control unit 11 generates screen information relating to the form data to be reviewed, for input fields included in the form data to be reviewed, where the transcription information associated with the input field identification information of the input field is identification information of other form data, the control unit 11 indicates that the input field has been transcribed from other form data by, for example, drawing a rectangle surrounding the input field or making the form data identified by that identification information referenceable (for example, by displaying the form data from which the transcription originated when the input field is clicked).

[0068] On the other hand, the control unit 11 does not perform this process if the transcription information associated with the input field identification information of an input field included in the form data to be reviewed is “null” and does not represent other form data.

[0069] As a result, the examination terminal device 4 presents input fields related to input information transcribed from other form data in a distinguishable manner from input fields that do not. The user of the examination terminal device 4 can refer to the original information from which the information was transcribed and, if the information has already been reviewed, can omit reviewing the transcribed information, thereby simplifying the examination process.

[0070] Furthermore, in one example of this embodiment, the control unit 11 may be configured to present, in the screen information sent to the examination terminal device 4 in this manner, input fields of the form data that was the subject of the examination in a manner that allows for identification of input fields into which information copied from form data whose examination completion flag information (F) is “examined” and input fields into which such information is not entered.

[0071] In this example, when the control unit 11 generates screen information related to the form data to be reviewed, for input fields included in the form data to be reviewed, where the transcription information associated with the input field identification information of the input field is identification information of other form data, the control unit 11 refers to the reviewed flag information recorded in the submitted form database 22 in association with the form data identified by that identification information, and if the reviewed flag information is "reviewed", it indicates that the input field has been reviewed in the other form data by, for example, drawing a rectangle surrounding the input field.

[0072] On the other hand, if the transcription information associated with the input field identification information of an input field included in the form data to be reviewed is "null" and does not represent other form data, or if the transcription information is identification information for other form data but the reviewed flag information recorded in the submitted form database 22 in association with the form data identified by the identification information is not "reviewed" (unreviewed), no processing is performed to indicate that the data has been reviewed.

[0073] As a result, on the review terminal device 4, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, input fields (X) related to input information transcribed from other reviewed form data are presented in a distinguishable manner from input fields (Y) related to other input information, allowing the user of the review terminal device 4 to limit the items to be reviewed, making it easier to review form data.

[0074] [Information taken from public information services] Furthermore, when the information processing device 1 according to one example of this embodiment accepts information input into form data, for input fields in which the same information that the user can obtain from the public information service logged in with the information input by the user is to be input, the information processing device 1 may present the form data with the information transcribed into the input field, and prompt the user to input information into any input fields that are not filled in.

[0075] Here, the public information service is, for example, My Number Portal, and the user transmits login information for My Number Portal (which may be a user name and password, or key information for obtaining information using an API) to the information processing device 1 via the input terminal device 3. The information processing device 1 then uses the login information obtained from the user to access the My Number Portal and obtains, for example, the four basic pieces of information such as name and address, and other information managed by the government.

[0076] In this example of the present embodiment, input information identification information associated with an input field of form data is associated with information obtainable from a Minor Portal. When accepting information input to form data, the information processing device 1 presents the input field in a state in which the information obtained from the Minor Portal has been transcribed into the input field associated with the corresponding input information identification information, and prompts the user to input information into the blank input field.

[0077] According to this example of the present embodiment, since information obtained from a public information service such as My Number Portal is used, the chances of the user making input errors can be reduced, and the burden of information input can be reduced.

[0078] Furthermore, in this case, the information processing device 1 may record, in the already-entered form data, information that can be distinguished from other input fields for input fields that have been obtained and transcribed from a public information service, and when displaying information related to the form data on the screening terminal device 4, display input fields that include input information obtained and transcribed from a public information service in a manner that can be distinguished from other input fields (for example, by using a different border or color). According to this example, it becomes possible to perform operations such as omitting screening for information transcribed from a public information service.

[0079] In the explanation so far, a birth notification has been used as an example, but this embodiment is not limited to this and can also be applied to various other notification documents to government offices, documents for procedures, and documents to be submitted to companies, schools, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
