[0026] (Example 1) The patent application support system according to the embodiment of the present invention is a system that efficiently converts an inventor's idea into a patent application manuscript and reflects user corrections. This patent application support system includes an information acquisition unit that acquires information indicating the inventor's idea, a generation unit that inputs the acquired inventor's idea into a generation AI to create a patent application manuscript, a presentation unit that presents the created patent application manuscript to a user, and a correction unit that accepts and corrects corrections from the user to the presented patent application manuscript. As a result, the patent application support system can improve the efficiency and accuracy of patent applications by efficiently converting the inventor's idea into a patent application manuscript and reflecting user corrections.
[0027] The patent application support system according to the embodiment includes an information acquisition unit, a generation unit, a presentation unit, and a correction unit. The information acquisition unit acquires information indicating an inventor's idea, for example, from the inventor's terminal device. For example, the information acquisition unit acquires text information provided by the inventor, for example, from the inventor's terminal device. The information acquisition unit can also acquire drawings provided by the inventor, for example, from the inventor's terminal device. The information acquisition unit can also record the inventor's oral explanation and acquire it as audio data. The generation unit inputs the inventor's idea acquired by the information acquisition unit into a generation AI to create a patent application manuscript. For example, the generation unit uses information including information indicating the inventor's idea and instruction information that is information instructing the creation of a patent application manuscript from the inventor's idea as input information, and causes the generation AI (for example, a large-scale language model) to output a patent application manuscript. The generation unit can input information including an inventor's idea or information of a part of the patent application manuscript generated by the generation AI as input information for each part of the patent application manuscript (e.g., background art, problem of the invention, embodiment, scope of claims, abstract), and can output information for each part of the patent application manuscript to the generation AI. The generation unit can also create a new patent application manuscript by referring to a past patent application manuscript. For example, the generation AI may be a generation AI that has been fine-tuned using a data set of ideas and patent application manuscripts, and in this case, the information input to the generation AI may not include instruction information. The presentation unit presents the patent application manuscript created by the generation unit to a user (e.g., a patent attorney, an intellectual property officer, or an inventor) by transmitting the patent application manuscript created by the generation unit to the device of the user. For example, the presentation unit digitally displays the patent application manuscript. The presentation unit can also print and present the patent application manuscript. The presentation unit can also send the patent application manuscript by email. The correction unit accepts and corrects corrections from the user to the patent application manuscript presented by the presentation unit. For example, the correction unit receives corrections input by the user from the user's device or the like and reflects the received corrections in the patent application manuscript. The correction unit can also scan and reflect corrections made by the user in handwriting. The correction unit can also reflect corrections made by the user through voice.As a result, the patent application support system according to the embodiment can efficiently convert the inventor's idea into a patent application manuscript and reflect the user's corrections, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of patent applications. The patent application support system obtains information from the user and presents the user's information through communication with the user's device, etc., but is not limited to such an example.
[0028] Furthermore, the patent application support system includes a search unit that searches for related existing patents based on the inventor's idea, and a summarization unit that summarizes the searched existing patents and presents them to a user (e.g., an inventor, an intellectual property officer, a new business development officer, an investment officer, etc.). The search unit, for example, searches for existing patents using keywords related to the inventor's idea. The search unit can also search for existing patents using classification codes. The search unit can also preferentially search for existing patents that are highly related based on the inventor's idea. The summarization unit, for example, extracts and summarizes the main points of the searched existing patents. The summarization unit can also generate a summary of the existing patent. The summarization unit can also highlight important points when presenting the summary to the user. The summarization unit presents the summary to the user, for example, by transmitting the summary to a user's device. This makes it possible to quickly search for existing patents related to the inventor's idea and provide a summary to support the inventor's idea in brushing up the inventor's idea.
[0029] Furthermore, the patent application support system includes an analysis unit that uses a generation AI to analyze the relationship between the inventor's idea and the existing patent, and a proposal unit that presents the analysis result and improvement proposals to a user (e.g., an inventor, an intellectual property officer, a patent attorney, etc.). The analysis unit, for example, analyzes the similarity between the inventor's idea and the existing patent. The analysis unit can also analyze the technical relevance between the inventor's idea and the existing patent. The analysis unit can also analyze the relationship between the inventor's idea and the existing patent and generate improvement proposals. The proposal unit presents the analysis result to the user, for example, by transmitting information indicating the analysis result to a user's device or the like. The summarization unit presents the summary to the user, for example, by transmitting a summary to the user's device or the like. The proposal unit can also present improvement proposals to the user. The summarization unit presents improvement proposals to the user, for example, by transmitting information indicating the improvement proposals to the user's device or the like. The proposal unit can also modify the proposal content based on user feedback. This allows the quality of an inventor's ideas to be improved by analyzing the relationship between the inventor's ideas and existing patents and proposing improvements.
[0030] Furthermore, the patent application support system includes a drawing creation unit that automatically creates drawings for patent application documents using image generation AI or multimodal AI. The drawing creation unit automatically generates drawings for patent application documents using, for example, deep learning technology. The drawing creation unit can also automatically generate drawings using a generative adversarial network (GAN). The drawing creation unit can also automatically generate drawings for patent application documents by performing integrated analysis of text and images. This makes it possible to improve the efficiency and accuracy of drawing creation by automatically creating drawings for patent application documents.
[0031] The information acquisition unit can optimize the acquisition of new ideas by referring to the inventor's past idea history and analyzing patterns. For example, the information acquisition unit acquires the inventor's past idea history from a database and analyzes patterns using text mining technology. For example, frequently occurring keywords and phrases are extracted and used to acquire the next idea. The information acquisition unit also builds a system in which AI learns features based on the history of ideas submitted by the inventor in the past and acquires new ideas more efficiently. For example, it recommends new ideas similar to successful ideas in the past. The information acquisition unit also refers to the inventor's past idea history and finds specific patterns and trends. For example, if there are many ideas related to a specific theme or technical field, it prioritizes the acquisition of new ideas related to that field. This makes it possible to support efficient idea generation by optimizing the acquisition of new ideas based on the inventor's past idea history.
[0032] The information acquisition unit can convert the inventor's oral explanation into text using voice recognition technology and automatically extract the main points. For example, when the inventor orally explains an idea, the information acquisition unit converts the information into text in real time using voice recognition software. For example, the inventor's explanation content is converted into text as is and the main points are automatically extracted. The information acquisition unit also records the inventor's oral explanation and converts the voice data into text later using voice recognition technology. For example, important keywords and phrases are automatically highlighted and the main points are extracted. The information acquisition unit also analyzes the voice data when the inventor explains the idea and extracts the main points using natural language processing technology. For example, important parts are automatically picked up from the explanation content and saved in text format. This makes it possible to support efficient idea acquisition by converting the inventor's oral explanation into text and automatically extracting the main points.
[0033] The information acquisition unit can incorporate perspectives from different fields by holding discussions with experts in other fields in real time when an inventor acquires an idea. For example, when an inventor acquires an idea, the information acquisition unit holds discussions with experts in different fields in real time through a video conference system. For example, a technical inventor exchanges opinions with a design expert. In addition, when an inventor acquires an idea, the information acquisition unit exchanges opinions with experts in different fields in real time using a chat function. For example, a technical perspective is shared with a marketing expert. In addition, when an inventor acquires an idea, the information acquisition unit holds an online workshop for collaboration with experts in different fields. For example, a medical expert and a technical expert jointly consider a new idea. This allows the quality of the inventor's idea to be improved by incorporating perspectives from different fields.
[0034] The information acquisition unit provides an interactive visual tool for the inventor to draw an idea, and can visually materialize the idea. The information acquisition unit, for example, provides an interactive visual tool for the inventor to draw an idea. For example, the information acquisition unit visualizes the idea by combining elements of the idea by drag and drop. The information acquisition unit also provides a tool for the inventor to visually materialize the idea, and enables the inventor to easily create diagrams and graphs. For example, the information acquisition unit provides a function for creating a flow chart or a mind map. The information acquisition unit also uses an interactive visual editor to visually organize the structure and elements of the idea when the inventor draws the idea. For example, each element of the idea is arranged as a block, and the relationship is connected by a line. This allows the inventor to visually materialize the idea, thereby improving the quality of the idea.
[0035] The generation unit can cause the generation AI to create the application manuscript in an appropriate tone and style based on the emotional state of the inventor. For example, the generation unit uses a casual tone when the inventor is relaxed, and a formal tone when the inventor is nervous. The generation unit can also select a technical style or a business style depending on the emotional state of the inventor. The generation unit can also create the application manuscript in an optimal tone and style based on the emotional data of the inventor. This makes it possible to more accurately reflect the inventor's intentions by creating the application manuscript in an appropriate tone and style based on the emotional state of the inventor.
[0036] The generation unit can have the generation AI learn from past success cases and create a manuscript with a high probability of success. For example, the generation unit aims to achieve similar success by having the AI learn from past successful cases of patent acquisition. The generation unit can also optimize the structure and content of the patent application manuscript based on past successful cases. The generation unit can also extract the characteristics of successful cases and create a manuscript that reflects them. In this way, by having the generation AI learn from past successful cases, it is possible to create a patent application manuscript with a high probability of success.
[0037] The generation unit can reflect the latest trends and regulatory information for patent applications in the generation AI in real time. For example, the generation unit aims to make applications more likely to be successful by reflecting the latest legal regulations and industry trends. The generation unit can also collect the latest information on patent applications and create manuscripts based on that information. The generation unit can also increase the success rate of patent applications by reflecting regulatory information that is updated in real time. This makes it possible to increase the success rate of patent applications by reflecting the latest trends and regulatory information.
[0038] The generation unit can automatically generate multiple variations using the generation AI based on the information input by the inventor and select the optimal one. The generation unit generates variations of, for example, different technical approaches or writing styles and selects the optimal one. The generation unit can also present multiple candidates to select the variation that best suits the inventor's intention. The generation unit can also set criteria for comparing the generated variations and selecting the optimal one. In this way, it is possible to create a patent application manuscript that best suits the inventor's intention by automatically generating multiple variations and selecting the optimal one.
[0039] The generation unit can automatically translate the manuscript created by the generation AI into different languages to support multilingual patent applications. The generation unit supports international patent applications by automatically translating into, for example, English, Chinese, Spanish, etc. The generation unit can also check the quality of the translated manuscript and correct it as necessary. The generation unit can also perform translations that take into account the patent requirements of each country in order to support patent applications in different languages. This makes it possible to support global patent applications by automatically translating into different languages.
[0040] The presentation unit can reflect the user's feedback on the presented content in real time and immediately present a revision proposal. The presentation unit can reflect the user's feedback in real time, for example, by using a live preview or an instant update function. The presentation unit can also immediately reflect the revision content input by the user. The presentation unit can also automatically correct the presented content based on the user's feedback. In this way, the quality of the patent application manuscript can be improved by reflecting the user's feedback in real time and immediately presenting a revision proposal.
[0041] The presentation unit can display related existing patents and reference materials at the same time as presenting the manuscript, making it easier for the user to compare and consider. For example, the presentation unit can also display materials that are technically or industry related, making it easier for the user to make comparisons. The presentation unit can also display summaries of related existing patents. The presentation unit can also visually display reference materials, allowing the user to intuitively understand. In this way, by displaying related existing patents and reference materials together, it becomes easier for the user to compare and consider.
[0042] The presentation unit can be equipped with an interactive comment function to realize collaborative editing when users check a manuscript. The presentation unit can facilitate collaborative editing, for example, by being equipped with a real-time comment or threaded comment function. The presentation unit can also provide an interface that makes it easy for users to add comments. The presentation unit can also promote communication between users through the comment function. As a result, the interactive comment function makes it easier for users to edit collaboratively.
[0043] The presentation unit can present the manuscript and also display it in a visual note or mind map format to aid visual understanding. The presentation unit displays, for example, a handwritten visual note or a mind map using a digital tool. The presentation unit can also provide a tool for visually organizing the main points of the manuscript. The presentation unit can also display the manuscript in a format that is visually easy for the user to understand. Thus, by displaying in a visual note or mind map format, the user can easily understand visually.
[0044] The correction unit can analyze the contents of the user's corrections and automatically understand and reflect the intention and background of the corrections. For example, the correction unit builds a system that analyzes the contents of the corrections made by the user to the patent application manuscript and automatically understands the intention and background. For example, the intention is estimated based on the user's correction history. The correction unit can also analyze the contents of the user's corrections in real time, understand the intention and background, and reflect them. For example, the purpose of the corrections made by the user is automatically estimated. The correction unit also develops a system that analyzes the contents of the corrections and automatically understands the intention and background of the user and reflects them in the patent application manuscript. For example, the changes desired by the user are immediately reflected. In this way, the quality of the patent application manuscript can be improved by analyzing the contents of the user's corrections, understanding the intention and background, and reflecting them.
[0045] The correction unit can track the correction history, learn the correction patterns, and use them in the next proposal. The correction unit, for example, tracks the correction history made by the user and builds a system that learns the patterns. For example, it detects a specific correction pattern and reflects it in the next proposal. The correction unit can also analyze the correction history, learn a specific pattern, and use it in creating the next patent application manuscript. For example, it reflects the user's preferred style of correction. The correction unit also develops a system that tracks the user's correction history, learns the patterns, and reflects them in the next proposal. For example, it predicts frequent corrections and suggests them in advance. In this way, it is possible to track the correction history and learn the patterns, which can be used in the next proposal and improve the quality of the patent application manuscript.
[0046] The correction unit can integrate corrections from multiple users in real time and present an optimal correction proposal. The correction unit, for example, collects corrections from multiple users in real time and builds a system that integrates the corrections. For example, even if multiple users make corrections at the same time, they are consolidated into one correction proposal. The correction unit can also develop a system that analyzes corrections from multiple users and automatically presents an optimal correction proposal. For example, the most appropriate correction content is reflected preferentially. The correction unit can also develop a system that integrates corrections from multiple users in real time and presents an optimal correction proposal based on the results. For example, the opinions of users are aggregated to make optimal corrections. In this way, the quality of patent application manuscripts can be improved by integrating corrections from multiple users in real time and presenting an optimal correction proposal.
[0047] The correction unit can share the correction content with experts in different fields and obtain cross-feedback. The correction unit, for example, builds a system for sharing the correction content from the user with experts in different fields and obtaining cross-feedback. For example, a correction in the technical field is checked by an expert in the design field. The correction unit can also develop a system for sharing the correction content with experts in different fields and aggregating feedback from each field. For example, a marketing expert and a technical expert make corrections jointly. The correction unit can also build a system for sharing the correction content made by the user with experts in different fields and presenting optimal correction proposals based on cross-feedback. For example, the opinions of multiple experts are reflected. In this way, the quality of the patent application manuscript can be improved by sharing the correction content with experts in different fields and obtaining cross-feedback.
[0048] The search unit can filter the search results of existing patents based on the inventor's field of expertise and past research results. The search unit, for example, builds a system that filters the search results of existing patents based on the inventor's field of expertise and past research results. For example, patents related to the inventor's specialized knowledge are preferentially displayed. The search unit can also filter the search results of existing patents based on the inventor's field of expertise and past research results. For example, the search results are displayed by narrowing down to a specific technical field. The search unit can also develop a system that filters the search results of existing patents according to the inventor's field of expertise and past research results, and presents the most relevant patents. For example, patents related to projects that the inventor has worked on in the past are displayed. In this way, by filtering based on the inventor's field of expertise and past research results, it is possible to provide highly relevant existing patents.
[0049] The search unit can emphasize important points when summarizing search results, so that the inventor can intuitively understand. For example, the search unit constructs a system that emphasizes and displays important points when generating a summary of the search results. For example, the main points and important features of the patent are highlighted. The search unit can also summarize the search results of existing patents and visually emphasize them so that the inventor can intuitively understand. For example, graphs and figures are displayed in addition to the summary. The search unit can also develop a system that emphasizes important points when summarizing search results, so that the inventor can intuitively understand. For example, highly relevant parts of the patent are displayed in different colors. As a result, when generating a summary of the search results, important points are emphasized and displayed, so that the inventor can intuitively understand.
[0050] The search unit can automatically translate search results into different languages and evaluate the relevance from a global perspective. The search unit, for example, builds a system that automatically translates search results of existing patents into different languages and evaluates the relevance from a global perspective. For example, it translates into English, Japanese, French, etc. The search unit can also automatically translate search results into multiple languages and integrate patent information from different language areas to evaluate the relevance. For example, it displays international patents related to a specific technical field. The search unit can also automatically translate search results of existing patents and develop a system that evaluates the relevance from a global perspective. For example, it performs translation according to patent requirements for each region. As a result, it is possible to evaluate the relevance from a global perspective by automatically translating search results into different languages.
[0051] The search unit can display the search results of existing patents in a visual note or mind map format to make it easier to understand visually. The search unit, for example, builds a system that displays the search results of existing patents in a visual note or mind map format. For example, the main points of the patents are shown in diagrams and graphs to make it easier to understand visually. The search unit can also display the search results in a visual note or mind map format to make it easier for the inventor to intuitively understand. For example, related patents are displayed as nodes and the relationships are connected by lines. The search unit can also develop a system that visually displays the search results of existing patents to make it easier for the inventor to understand. For example, the main points are shown in pictograms or icons. In this way, the search results of existing patents can be displayed in a visual note or mind map format to make it easier for the inventor to intuitively understand.
[0052] The summarization unit can refer to related industry news and trend information in order to improve the accuracy of the summary sentence. The summarization unit, for example, builds a system that automatically collects related industry news and trend information in order to improve the accuracy of the summary sentence, and reflects the information in the summary sentence. For example, the latest technology trends and market needs are incorporated into the summary sentence. The summarization unit can also refer to related industry news and trend information for the presented summary sentence to improve its accuracy. For example, the latest technology trends and market trends are reflected in the summary sentence. The summarization unit can also develop a system that automatically collects industry news and trend information, and generates a summary sentence with high accuracy based on that information. For example, the latest technology and market information is reflected in the summary sentence.

The drawing creation unit can also analyze the user's emotional response in real time and generate a drawing that satisfies the user the most based on the data. For example, a drawing with strong positive emotions is given priority. The drawing creation unit can also use emotion estimation data to develop a system that automatically generates a drawing that satisfies the user the most. For example, an optimal drawing is generated based on the user's emotion score. This allows the quality of the drawing to be improved by automatically generating a drawing that satisfies the user the most using the emotion estimation function.
[0147] Each of the above-mentioned information acquisition unit, generation unit, presentation unit, correction unit, search unit, summary unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and drawing creation unit is realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12, but is not limited to such an example. The information acquisition unit can acquire the inventor's idea using, for example, the camera 42 or the microphone 38B of the smart device 14. The presentation unit can present the patent application manuscript to the user via the display 40A or the speaker 40B of the smart device 14. The correction unit can accept the user's correction via the touch panel 38A or the microphone 38B of the smart device 14. Note that each of the search unit, summary unit, analysis unit, proposal unit, and drawing creation unit may also be realized by the specific processing unit 290 of the data processing device 12. In addition, the emotion estimation function, which is a function for estimating emotions, is realized by, for example, an emotion engine (for example, the emotion identification model 59), but is not limited to such an example, and may be realized by, for example, a generation AI. The correspondence relationship between each unit and the device or control unit is not limited to the above-mentioned example, and various changes are possible.
[0148] The information acquisition unit can optimize the acquisition of new ideas by referring to the inventor's past idea history and analyzing patterns. For example, the information acquisition unit acquires the inventor's past idea history from a database and analyzes patterns using text mining technology. For example, frequently occurring keywords and phrases are extracted and used to acquire the next idea. The information acquisition unit also builds a system in which AI learns features based on the history of ideas submitted by the inventor in the past and acquires new ideas more efficiently. For example, it recommends new ideas similar to successful ideas in the past. The information acquisition unit also refers to the inventor's past idea history and finds specific patterns and trends. For example, if there are many ideas related to a specific theme or technical field, it prioritizes the acquisition of new ideas related to that field. This makes it possible to support efficient idea generation by optimizing the acquisition of new ideas based on the inventor's past idea history.
[0149] The information acquisition unit can convert the inventor's oral explanation into text using voice recognition technology and automatically extract the main points. For example, when the inventor orally explains an idea, the information acquisition unit converts the information into text in real time using voice recognition software. For example, the inventor's explanation content is converted into text as is and the main points are automatically extracted. The information acquisition unit also records the inventor's oral explanation and converts the voice data into text later using voice recognition technology. For example, important keywords and phrases are automatically highlighted and the main points are extracted. The information acquisition unit also analyzes the voice data when the inventor explains the idea and extracts the main points using natural language processing technology. For example, important parts are automatically picked up from the explanation content and saved in text format. This makes it possible to support efficient idea acquisition by converting the inventor's oral explanation into text and automatically extracting the main points.
[0150] The information acquisition unit can incorporate perspectives from different fields by holding discussions with experts in other fields in real time when an inventor acquires an idea. For example, when an inventor acquires an idea, the information acquisition unit holds discussions with experts in different fields in real time through a video conference system. For example, a technical inventor exchanges opinions with a design expert. In addition, when an inventor acquires an idea, the information acquisition unit exchanges opinions with experts in different fields in real time using a chat function. For example, a technical perspective is shared with a marketing expert. In addition, when an inventor acquires an idea, the information acquisition unit holds an online workshop for collaboration with experts in different fields. For example, a medical expert and a technical expert jointly consider a new idea. This allows the quality of the inventor's idea to be improved by incorporating perspectives from different fields.
[0151] The information acquisition unit provides an interactive visual tool for the inventor to draw an idea, and can visually materialize the idea. The information acquisition unit, for example, provides an interactive visual tool for the inventor to draw an idea. For example, the information acquisition unit visualizes the idea by combining elements of the idea by drag and drop. The information acquisition unit also provides a tool for the inventor to visually materialize the idea, and enables the inventor to easily create diagrams and graphs. For example, the information acquisition unit provides a function for creating a flow chart or a mind map. The information acquisition unit also uses an interactive visual editor to visually organize the structure and elements of the idea when the inventor draws the idea. For example, each element of the idea is arranged as a block, and the relationship is connected by a line. This allows the inventor to visually materialize the idea, thereby improving the quality of the idea.
[0152] The information acquisition unit can use the emotion estimation function to identify the environment and time period when the inventor is most creative, and acquire ideas under those conditions. The information acquisition unit, for example, uses the emotion estimation function to identify the time period when the inventor is most creative. For example, the emotion data of the inventor is analyzed to find the time period when creativity is enhanced. Furthermore, the information acquisition unit identifies the environment in which the inventor can be most relaxed based on the emotion estimation data, and acquires ideas in that environment. For example, it is determined that creativity is enhanced when the inventor thinks of ideas in a place with natural light. Furthermore, the information acquisition unit monitors the emotional state of the inventor in real time, and identifies the conditions under which creativity is enhanced. For example, it is determined that creativity is enhanced when listening to specific music or when in a specific place. In this way, the quality of ideas can be improved by identifying the environment and time period when the inventor is most creative.
[0153] The generation unit can cause the generation AI to create the application manuscript in an appropriate tone and style based on the emotional state of the inventor. For example, the generation unit uses a casual tone when the inventor is relaxed, and a formal tone when the inventor is nervous. The generation unit can also select a technical style or a business style depending on the emotional state of the inventor. The generation unit can also create the application manuscript in an optimal tone and style based on the emotional data of the inventor. This makes it possible to more accurately reflect the inventor's intentions by creating the application manuscript in an appropriate tone and style based on the emotional state of the inventor.
[0154] The generation unit can have the generation AI learn from past success cases and create a manuscript with a high probability of success. For example, the generation unit aims to achieve similar success by having the AI learn from past successful cases of patent acquisition. The generation unit can also optimize the structure and content of the patent application manuscript based on past successful cases. The generation unit can also extract the characteristics of successful cases and create a manuscript that reflects them. In this way, by having the generation AI learn from past successful cases, it is possible to create a patent application manuscript with a high probability of success.
[0155] The generation unit can reflect the latest trends and regulatory information for patent applications in the generation AI in real time. For example, the generation unit aims to make applications more likely to be successful by reflecting the latest legal regulations and industry trends. The generation unit can also collect the latest information on patent applications and create manuscripts based on that information. The generation unit can also increase the success rate of patent applications by reflecting regulatory information that is updated in real time. This makes it possible to increase the success rate of patent applications by reflecting the latest trends and regulatory information.
[0156] The generation unit can automatically generate multiple variations using the generation AI based on the information input by the inventor and select the optimal one. The generation unit generates variations of, for example, different technical approaches or writing styles and selects the optimal one. The generation unit can also present multiple candidates to select the variation that best suits the inventor's intention. The generation unit can also set criteria for comparing the generated variations and selecting the optimal one. In this way, it is possible to create a patent application manuscript that best suits the inventor's intention by automatically generating multiple variations and selecting the optimal one.
[0157] The generation unit can automatically translate the manuscript created by the generation AI into different languages to support multilingual patent applications. The generation unit supports international patent applications by automatically translating into, for example, English, Chinese, Spanish, etc. The generation unit can also check the quality of the translated manuscript and correct it as necessary. The generation unit can also perform translations that take into account the patent requirements of each country in order to support patent applications in different languages. This makes it possible to support global patent applications by automatically translating into different languages.
[0158] The process flow of each embodiment will be described below.
[0159] Step 1: The information acquisition unit acquires information indicating the inventor's idea. For example, it acquires text information, drawings, and audio data of oral explanations provided by the inventor. The information acquisition unit also monitors the inventor's emotional state in real time and selects a method of acquiring ideas according to the emotions. For example, it measures the emotional state using emotion analysis software or a device with an emotion sensor, and acquires ideas when positive emotions are high. Furthermore, the information acquisition unit uses an emotion estimation function to identify the environment and time of day when the inventor is most creative, and acquires ideas under those conditions. For example, it analyzes the inventor's emotion data and identifies the time of day and environment when creativity is high.
[0160] Step 2: The search section searches existing patents using keywords and classification codes related to the inventor's idea, giving priority to searching existing patents that are highly relevant.
[0161] Step 3: The abstract section extracts and summarizes the key points of the searched existing patents. It generates an abstract and displays it with the important points highlighted.
[0162] Step 4: The analysis unit analyzes the similarity and technical relevance between the inventor's idea and existing patents. It analyzes the relationship between the inventor's idea and existing patents and generates improvement suggestions.
[0163] Step 5: The suggestion unit presents the analysis results and improvement suggestions to a user (e.g., the inventor). The suggestion content is revised based on the user's feedback. The information acquisition unit acquires information indicating the inventor's idea revised by the suggestion unit based on the user's feedback.
[0164] Step 6: The generation unit inputs the inventor's idea acquired by the information acquisition unit in step 1 or step 5 into the generation AI, and creates a patent application manuscript. For example, the patent application manuscript is created using natural language generation technology or a machine learning model.
[0165] Step 7: The drawing creation unit automatically generates drawings for patent application documents using deep learning technology and generative adversarial networks (GANs). It performs integrated analysis of text and images to automatically generate drawings.
[0166] Step 8: The presentation unit presents the patent application document including the patent application manuscript created by the generation unit and the drawings created by the drawing creation unit to the user. For example, the presentation is performed by digital display, printing, sending by email, or the like. The presentation unit also uses an emotion estimation function to present the manuscript in a format that elicits the most positive response from the user. For example, the presentation is performed by devising color usage, layout, and fonts.
[0167] Step 9: The correction unit accepts and corrects the corrections made by the user to the patent application document presented by the presentation unit. For example, the corrections made by the user are reflected in the corrections made by input, handwritten, or voice instructions.
[0168] The specific processing unit 290 transmits the result of the specific processing to the smart device 14. In the smart device 14, the control unit 46A causes the output device 40 to output the result of the specific processing. The microphone 38B acquires a voice indicating a user input for the result of the specific processing. The control unit 46A transmits the voice data indicating the user input acquired by the microphone 38B to the data processing device 12. In the data processing device 12, the specific processing unit 290 acquires the voice data.
[0169] The data generation model 58 is a so-called generative AI (Artificial Intelligence). An example of the data generation model 58 is ChatGPT (Internet search<URL: https: / / openai.com / blog / chatgpt> ) and other generation AIs. The data generation model 58 is obtained by performing deep learning on a neural network. A prompt including an instruction is input to the data generation model 58, and inference data such as voice data indicating a voice, text data indicating a text, and image data indicating an image is input. The data generation model 58 infers the input inference data according to the instruction indicated by the prompt, and outputs the inference result in a data format such as voice data and text data. Here, inference refers to, for example, analysis, classification, prediction, and / or summarization. The identification processing unit 290 performs the above-mentioned identification processing while using the data generation model 58.

In addition, the data processing device 12 may be a server device, or may be a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, a robot, or a home appliance) owned by a user.
[0212] Furthermore, an emotion engine that estimates the emotion of the user may be combined. That is, the identification processing unit 290 may estimate the emotion of the user using the emotion identification model 59, and perform identification processing using the emotion of the user.
[0213] The system according to the fourth embodiment performs the same process as the system according to the first embodiment. In the system according to the third embodiment, the robot 414 has the same function as the smart device 14 according to the first embodiment and can perform the same process as the smart device 14 according to the first embodiment, but is not limited to such an example.
[0214] The emotion identification model 59 as an emotion engine may determine the emotion of the user according to a specific mapping.

Similarly, the emotion identification model 59 may determine the emotion of the robot, and the identification processing unit 290 may perform identification processing using the emotion of the robot.
[0215] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an emotion map 400 on which multiple emotions are mapped. In the emotion map 400, emotions are arranged in concentric circles radiating from the center. The closer to the center of the concentric circles, the more primitive emotions are arranged. The more outside the concentric circles, the more emotions that represent states and actions that arise from a state of mind are arranged. Emotions are a concept that includes emotions and mental states. On the left side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain are arranged. On the right side of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally induced by situational judgment are arranged. On the upper and lower sides of the concentric circles, emotions that are generally generated from reactions that occur in the brain and are induced by situational judgment are arranged. In addition, on the upper side of the concentric circles, emotions of "pleasure" are arranged, and on the lower side, emotions of "discomfort" are arranged. In this way, in the emotion map 400, multiple emotions are mapped based on the structure in which emotions are generated, and emotions that tend to occur simultaneously are mapped close to each other.
[0216] These emotions are distributed in the 3 o'clock direction of emotion map 400 and usually fluctuate between relief and anxiety. In the right half of emotion map 400, situational awareness dominates over internal sensations, resulting in a sense of calm.
[0217] The inside of emotion map 400 represents what is going on inside one's mind, and the outside of emotion map 400 represents behavior, so the further out you go on emotion map 400, the more visible the emotions become (the more they are expressed in behavior).
[0218] Here, human emotions are based on various balances such as posture and blood sugar level, and when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. Emotions can also be created for robots, cars, motorcycles, etc., based on various balances such as posture and battery level, so that when these balances are far from the ideal, it indicates an unpleasant state, and when they are close to the ideal, it indicates a pleasant state. The emotion map may be generated, for example, based on the emotion map of Dr. Mitsuyoshi (Research on speech emotion recognition and emotion brain physiological signal analysis system, Tokushima University, doctoral dissertation: https: / / ci.nii.ac.jp / naid / 500000375379). On the left half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "reaction" where sensation is dominant are lined up. On the right half of the emotion map, emotions belonging to an area called "situation" where situation recognition is dominant are lined up.
[0219] The emotion map defines two emotions that promote learning. The first is the negative emotion around the middle of "repentance" or "remorse" on the situation side. In other words, this is when the robot experiences negative emotions such as "I never want to feel this way again" or "I don't want to be scolded again." The other is the positive emotion around "desire" on the response side. In other words, this is when the robot has positive feelings such as "I want more" or "I want to know more."
[0220] The emotion identification model 59 inputs the user input to a pre-trained neural network, obtains emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400, and determines the emotion of the user. This neural network is pre-trained based on multiple learning data that are combinations of the user input and emotion values indicating each emotion shown in the emotion map 400. Furthermore, this neural network is trained so that emotions that are located close to each other have similar values, as in the emotion map 900 shown in Fig. 10. Fig. 10 shows an example in which multiple emotions, "relief," "calm," and "encouraging," have similar emotion values.
[0221] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a specific process is performed by one computer 22, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited to this, and distributed processing of the specific process may be performed by multiple computers, including computer 22.
[0222] In the above embodiment, an example in which the specific processing program 56 is stored in the storage 32 has been described, but the technology of the present disclosure is not limited to this. For example, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a portable computer-readable non-transitory storage medium such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) memory. The specific processing program 56 stored in the non-transitory storage medium is installed in the computer 22 of the data processing device 12. The processor 28 executes the specific processing in accordance with the specific processing program 56.
[0223] In addition, the specific processing program 56 may be stored in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, and the specific processing program 56 may be downloaded and installed on the computer 22 upon request from the data processing device 12.
[0224] It is not necessary to store all of the specific processing program 56 in a storage device such as a server connected to the data processing device 12 via the network 54, or to store all of the specific processing program 56 in the storage 32; only a portion of the specific processing program 56 may be stored.
[0225] As the hardware resource for executing the specific process, various processors as shown below can be used. An example of the processor is a CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that functions as a hardware resource for executing the specific process by executing software, i.e., a program. Another example of the processor is a dedicated electric circuit, which is a processor having a circuit configuration designed exclusively for executing the specific process, such as a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), or an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Each processor has a built-in or connected memory, and each processor executes the specific process by using the memory.
[0226] The hardware resource that executes the specific process may be one of these various processors, or may be a combination of two or more processors of the same or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, the hardware resource that executes the specific process may be a single processor.
[0227] As an example of a configuration using one processor, first, one processor is configured by combining one or more CPUs and software, and this processor functions as a hardware resource that executes a specific process. Second, there is a configuration using a processor that realizes the functions of the entire system including multiple hardware resources that execute a specific process on a single IC chip, as typified by SoC (System-on-a-chip). In this way, a specific process is realized using one or more of the above-mentioned various processors as hardware resources.
[0228] Furthermore, more specifically, the hardware structure of these various processors can be an electric circuit that combines circuit elements such as semiconductor elements. The specific processes described above are merely examples. It goes without saying that unnecessary steps may be deleted, new steps may be added, or the order of processes may be changed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
[0229] The above description and illustrations are detailed descriptions of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, and are merely an example of the technology of the present disclosure. For example, the above description of the configuration, function, action, and effect is an example of the configuration, function, action, and effect of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure. Therefore, it goes without saying that unnecessary parts may be deleted, new elements may be added, or replacements may be made to the above description and illustrations, within the scope of the gist of the technology of the present disclosure. In addition, in order to avoid confusion and to facilitate understanding of the parts related to the technology of the present disclosure, the above description and illustrations omit explanations of technical common sense that do not require explanation in order to enable the implementation of the technology of the present disclosure.
