Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] For those involved in this material examination, there is room for improvement from the perspectives described below. (1) From the perspective of the application work for examination requests Even for the same advertising material, the examination work is carried out on a per-company (each examination responsible person) basis within the media. Therefore, for the side requesting the examination (such as advertisers and advertising agencies), it is necessary to apply for an examination request to each company, and the format of the examination application form also varies from company to company, so the application work requires time and effort. (2) From the perspective of the management work for examination results Although the examination responsible person conducts the examination in accordance with the broadcasting standards and others shown in the above Non-Patent Document 3, the final determination of suitability is entrusted to each examination responsible person. Therefore, for the examination requester, for the same advertising material, there may be differences in the examination results for each media, and the management of the examination results has become complicated. (3) From the perspective of improving the efficiency of the examination work For companies with examination responsible persons, since the examination work for the advertising materials received for examination requests requires a lot of time and effort, proposals for methods to implement the examination work more efficiently have been desired. Also, in order to conduct an appropriate examination, it is necessary for the examination responsible person to have specialized knowledge such as the Broadcasting Law, the Act on the Presentation of Gifts, and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and it may be difficult for a single examination responsible person to be in charge of the examination of all types of advertising materials.

[0007] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a means for contributing to the improvement of convenience in examination-related work for advertising materials.

[0035] <5.3>Processing after Examination (Figure 7, Figure 6) After the examination is completed, by selecting the "Register" button provided on the examination screen 500 shown in Figure 7, the examination content is reflected on the examination response confirmation screen 400 shown in Figure 6. After that, as described in <5.1>, by selecting the "Answer Sending" button provided on the examination response confirmation screen 400, the examination result for the examination request is registered in the database within this system.

[0036] <5.3.1>In the Case of Examination through an Agent (Figure 6, Figure 7) In the case where the examination is conducted through the proxy examiner D, after the completion of the examination by the proxy examiner D, the examiner C who applied for the proxy examination re-checks the examination response confirmation screen 400 shown in FIG. 6, and if necessary, uses the examination screen 500 shown in FIG. 7 to correct the examination results and the like. Then, it is preferable that the examiner C selects the "Answer Submission" button provided on the examination response confirmation screen 400 shown in FIG. 6 to complete the examination.

[0037] <6>Confirmation and Return of Examination Results (not shown in the figure) The examination requester B who has grasped that the examination by the examiner C (including the examination via the proxy examiner D) has been completed uses a screen similar to the examination response confirmation screen 400 shown in FIG. 6 (not shown in the figure) to confirm the examination results and make responses such as inputting a response text to the pointed-out matters and attaching additional materials received as requests (hereinafter also referred to as "return").

[0038] <7>Summary The above-mentioned examination by the examiner C and the return by the examination requester B are appropriately repeated, and the examination is conducted until the advertisement material can be published.

[0039] <8>Parentheses As described above, according to the system according to this embodiment, useful effects can be obtained at least in the following points. (1) In response to the examination request from the examination requester B, the examiner C can flexibly set the place where the examination is conducted. (2) During the examination process, it is possible to visually convey to the examination requester B the pointed-out matters in the advertisement material on the capture screen that can appropriately include additional writings on the examination screen 500. Therefore, the examination results and their intentions can be more accurately understood by the examination requester B, and the communication related to the examination work can be made more efficient for both the examination requester B and the examiner C. (3) Since it is possible for the examination requester B to apply for examination requests to a plurality of examiners C in a batch, the request work by the examination requester B can be made more efficient.

Example

[0040] <1>Function for sharing the review process (Fig. 8) The review support system A according to the present invention may be configured to be able to share the review progress of each reviewer C for the same advertisement material. For example, assume a case where the requester B requests a review from one reviewer C1, and during the intermediate stage or after the completion of the review by one reviewer C1, the requester B requests a review of the same advertisement material from the other reviewer C2. In this case, through repeated reviews and feedback between the requester B and one reviewer C1, for the explanatory text displayed in the advertisement material, one reviewer C1 requests the requester B to disclose the materials (evidence) that are the basis for the content of the explanatory text, and it is conceivable that the requester B attaches new additional materials to one reviewer C1 by way of feedback. After that, when the other reviewer C2 starts reviewing the same advertisement material, if the review is conducted from a blank state, duplication of the review work will occur, resulting in inefficiency.

[0041] Therefore, in the review system according to this embodiment, on the request screen 100 (Fig. 2) displayed on the side of the requester B, by entering common identification information for the same advertisement material (for example, in the "material name" column in Fig. 2), the review requests for the same advertisement material are associated on the database of this system. When the other reviewer C2 checks the review response confirmation screen 400 or the review screen 500 in the review processing unit 30, the review progress exchanged between one reviewer C1 and the requester B can be displayed.

[0042] <2>Modified example of the review screen (Fig. 8) The review screen 500 according to this embodiment is shown in Fig. 8. The review screen 500 shown in Fig. 8 has an additional review progress information column 540 compared to the review screen 500 shown in Fig. 7. In this embodiment, in the examination progress information column 540, a confirmation column for additional materials newly attached by the examination requester B during the examination process by one of the examiners C1 is displayed. This confirmation column is configured to be able to view the attached materials newly added by the examination requester B's feedback work or the like for each time code of the advertising material. Therefore, the other examiner C2 can confirm the examination progress between the preceding examiner C1 and the examination requester B for each time code.

[0043] <3>Small parentheses Thus, according to the system according to this embodiment, useful effects can be obtained at least in the following aspects. (1) By displaying (sharing) the examination progress (such as the attached materials submitted additionally) with one of the examiners C1 for a certain advertising material on the examination screen 500 of the other examiner C2 who examines the same advertising material, it is possible to avoid duplicate work such as a plurality of examiners C (C1, C2 ··· Cn) spending time pointing out the same place or the examination requester B giving the same answer to each examiner C, which leads to an improvement in convenience for both the examination requester B and the examiner C.

Embodiment

[0044] <1>Addition of an examination result duplication unit (Fig. 9) As shown in Fig. 9, the examination support system A according to the present invention may further add an examination result duplication unit 40. For an advertising material for which the substitute examination result by the substitute examiner D has already been registered due to the substitute examination application by one of the examiners C1, when there is a new substitute examination application from the other examiner C1, the examination result duplication unit 40 has a function of duplicating part or all of the registered substitute examination result and providing it as the substitute examination result for the other examiner C2.

[0045] <2>Reflection on the examination response confirmation screen For example, on the request screen 100 (Figure 2) displayed to the examiner C, the same advertisement material is made to input common identification information (for example, in the "material name" column in Figure 2), and each examination request consisting of the same advertisement material is pre-associated on the database of this system. Then, on the examination request form display screen 300 (Figure 5) displayed to the other examiner C2, when the other examiner C2 selects the "act as an agent for the examination" button, if there already exists an agency examination result by the examination agent D for the advertisement material to be examined using the identification information, this system will display to the other examiner C2 an examination response confirmation screen 400 (Figure 6) in which the said agency examination result is replicated and reflected. Note that in the present invention, the replication range of the agency examination result by the examination result replication unit 40 may be partial or whole.

[0046] <3>Confirmation and correction of the replicated examination result The other examiner C2 checks the examination response confirmation screen 400 (Figure 6) in which the replicated agency examination result has been reflected, and if necessary, uses the examination screen 500 shown in Figure 7 to correct the examination result, etc. Then, the other examiner C2 may select the "send response" button on the examination response confirmation screen 400 (Figure 6) again to complete the examination.

[0047] <4>Parentheses Thus, according to the system according to this embodiment, useful effects can be obtained at least in the following aspects. (1) By diverting the agency examination result by the examination agent D applied for by one examiner C1 to the other examiner C2 who applied for agency examination with the same advertisement material, duplicate work such as multiple examiners spending time pointing out the same part for the same advertisement material can be avoided, which leads to an improvement in convenience for the examiners. (2) For the examination requester B, it also leads to a shortening of the waiting time for the examination results from each examiner C, and an improvement in the efficiency of the advertisement material correction work can be expected.
