[0011] [Embodiment] (Configuration of Document Processing System) FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a document processing system according to an embodiment.

[0012] This document processing system 5 is configured by connecting a document processing server device 1, a terminal 2, and a terminal 3 to be communicable with each other via a network 4. The terminal 2 is operated by, for example, a user who desires document management, document creation, document content confirmation, and / or document review, and the terminal 3 is operated by another user, but is not limited thereto. The user of the terminal 2 and the user of the terminal 3 handle, as document information, for example, a contract, confirm the content of the contract, mainly manage the document information created by one or both users, manage the document information after conclusion, and use the document processing system 5 to confirm and grasp the content in which the change is reflected when the content of the document information is changed.

[0013] The document processing server device 1 is a server-type information processing device that operates in response to requests from the terminal 2 and the terminal 3, and includes electronic components such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and a flash memory that have functions for processing information in the main body. Note that the document processing server device 1 does not necessarily have to be configured by a single information processing device, and may be configured such that a plurality of information processing devices cooperate to operate, or may operate by any cloud service. Further, the functions of the document processing server device 1 may be realized in the terminal 2 and / or the terminal 3.

[0014] The terminals 2 and 3 are information processing devices such as a PC (Personal Computer) or a tablet terminal, and include electronic components such as a CPU and a flash memory that have functions for processing information in the main body.

[0015] The network 4 is a communication network capable of high-speed communication, for example, a wired or wireless communication network such as the Internet, an intranet, or a LAN (Local Area Network).

[0016] In the above configuration, as an example, the document processed by the document processing server device 1 is a document in the legal field such as a contract, and one or both of the users are not legal experts but are persons who need to create a contract, or are legal experts such as lawyers who have knowledge of creating a contract. Also, for example, one or both of the users are employees of the company's sales department or employees of the company's legal department.

[0017] As a basic operation, after uploading document information from the terminal 2 or the terminal 3 to the document processing server device 1, the document processing server device 1 manages the document information, and accesses the document processing server device 1 from the terminal 2 or the terminal 3 to check the content of the document information, etc. At this time, in order to reduce the user's confirmation work burden or to assist the user in creating a contract, the document processing server device 1 associates the document information with change document information (change memorandum, change contract) including a change instruction for the document information, and displays it in a form that helps to grasp the content of the document information after reflecting the change by reflecting the change content. Specific examples of the display method will be described later. Note that the change instruction includes an instruction for the change target and an instruction for the content of addition, replacement, and deletion of text in the change target. Also, hereinafter, a clause may be referred to as a "provision". The embodiments will be described below.

[0018] Also, although the terminals 2 and 3 are each shown as a single unit, a plurality of units may be connected to the network 4, and similarly, there may be a plurality of users who operate these.

[0019] (Configuration of Document Processing Server Device) FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the document processing server device 1 according to the embodiment.

[0020] The document processing server device 1 is composed of a CPU etc., and includes a control unit 10 that controls each part and executes various programs, a storage unit 11 composed of a storage medium such as a flash memory that stores information, and a communication unit 12 that functions as a communication interface for communicating with the outside via a network 4.

[0021] The control unit 10 is composed of a processor such as a CPU, and is electrically connected to the storage unit 11 composed of a memory and the communication unit 12 that functions as a communication interface. By executing a document processing program 110 described later, the control unit 10 functions as a document reception means 100, a document splitting means 101, a document association means 102, a change reflection means 103, a display control means 104, etc.

[0022] The document reception means 100 receives, for example, a contract as document information 111 from the terminal 2 or the terminal 3 and stores it in the storage unit 11. The document information 111 may be image information such as a PDF in which the text is laid out, or information such as a text file or a word file containing text data. In addition, when the document information 111 is information other than text, the document reception means 100 performs OCR (Optical Character Recognition) etc. to convert it into text.

[0023] The document splitting means 101 splits the document information 111 into components of a contract such as title, preamble, article units, etc., and stores it in the storage unit 11 as unit information 112. Note that the article unit is not limited to the article as the splitting unit, and may be a clause, a number, or a collection of a plurality of articles, clauses, and numbers with a coherent meaning. Also, it may be a clause or number with a coherent meaning across different articles and clauses.

[0024] When the document information 111 is a contract, the document association means 102 associates the concluded contract with a document including a change instruction such as a change memo or a change contract that changes the content of the contract created after conclusion, and stores it in the storage unit 11 as association information 113.

[0025] The change reflection means 103 reflects the change content of the document including the change content for the executed contract document among the document information 111, and stores it in the storage unit 11 as the change reflected document information 114.

[0026] The display control means 104 performs display control on the display units of the terminals 2 and 3 for the document information 111, unit information 112, association information 113, and change reflected document information 114 in the storage unit 11 and the output results of the respective means 100-103 in a predetermined method. The details of the display method will be described later.

[0027] The storage unit 11 is composed of a memory such as a flash memory, and is electrically connected to a control unit 10 composed of a processor or the like and a communication unit 12 functioning as a communication interface. The storage unit 11 stores a document processing program 110 that operates the control unit 10 as the respective means 100-104 described above, document information 111, unit information 112, association information 113, change reflected document information 114, and the like.

[0028] FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the document information 111.

[0029] Document information 111 1 (Doc1) is, as an example, a contract document and includes the content concluded between the parties. Also, the change document information 111 2 (Doc2) is, as an example, a change memorandum or a change contract document, and the document information 111 1 (Doc1) is defined to change the content. Also, the change document information 111 3 (Doc3) is a change memorandum or a change contract document, and the change document information 111 2 (Doc2) is the document information 111 changed by 1 (Doc1) and is defined to further change the content.

[0030] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the association information 113.

[0031] The association information 113 is information indicating the relevance between the associated document information, and the document information 111 in FIG. 31 (Doc1) corresponding original contract and change document information 111 2 (Doc2) corresponding change memo 1 and change document information 111 3 (Doc3) has corresponding change memo 2.

[0032] (Operation of Document Processing System) Next, the operations of the embodiment will be described by dividing them into (1) basic operation, (2) document association operation, and (3) change reflection operation. Hereinafter, the operations will be described with the terminal 2 as the operation target, but the description will be omitted when the same operations are performed when replacing with the terminal 3.

[0033] (1) Basic operation First, the user operates the terminal 2 to log in to the service provided by the document processing server device 1. When the terminal 2 receives the input of information such as the user ID and password from the user, it transmits an authentication request to the document processing server device 1 together with the information.

[0034] When the document processing server device 1 receives an authentication request together with information such as the user ID and password from the terminal 2, it refers to user information (not shown) including the pre-registered user ID and password, etc., and performs authentication as a user.

[0035] Next, when the user completes logging in to the service, the user operates the terminal 2 to upload the document information of the contract and the change document information to the document processing server device 1. The terminal 2 uploads the document information to the document processing server device 1.

[0036] (2) Document association operation FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the document processing server device 1.

[0037] The document reception means 100 of the document processing server device 1 receives the document information 111 corresponding to the original contract or the change memo from the terminal 2 operated by the user and stores it in the storage unit 11 (S1).

[0038] Next, the document splitting means 101 of the document processing server device 1 splits the document information 111 into components of the contract and structures it as unit information 112 (S2). As an example, the document information 111 is obtained by scanning the original contract or the amendment memo and is image information such as a PDF (Portable Document Format) file. The document splitting means 101 first converts the document information 111 into text using a method such as OCR (Optical Character Reader). Next, the document splitting means 101 splits the text-converted information into units such as contract title, preamble, article unit, clause unit, etc. Note that the document splitting means 101 may further split the target document information 111 into units of symbols and use a unit suitable for the structure of the document information 111 as the unit information 112. The above splitting is performed using techniques such as machine learning and regular expressions.

[0039] Next, the document association means 102 associates a plurality of document information 111 and stores it in the storage unit 11 as association information 113 (S3). The association of the document information 111 is automatically performed based on the operations received from the user's terminal 2 or information such as the title and parties of the document information 111.

[0040] As a result of the association by the document association means 102, as shown in FIG. 3, the document information 111 which is the original contract including the content concluded between the parties 1 (Doc1), and the document information 111 1 The change document information 111 which is an amendment memo stipulating to change the content of the document information 111 2 (Doc2), and the change document information 111 2 The document information 111 changed by the change document information 111 1 The change document information 111 which is an amendment memo stipulating to further change the content of the document information 111 3 (Doc3) are associated with each other.

[0041] Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the above association is recorded as the association information 113, and the document information 111 1 (Doc1) as the original contract, and the document information 111 2(Doc2), Document Information 111 as Amendment Note 2 3 (Doc3) is associated with it.

[0042] (3) Change Reflection Operation Next, the user operates Terminal 2 to select a contract document in order to request the document processing server device 1 to refer to the content of the desired contract document in which the changes have been reflected.

[0043] Terminal 2 requests the document processing server device 1 to select the original contract document (or the amendment note, the group of associated contract documents) and refer to the current content reflecting the changes to the selected contract document.

[0044] When the change reflection means 103 of the document processing server device 1 receives the selection of the contract document and the request for referring to the content of the contract document, it creates a master document by reflecting the changes for each unit (S4), and the display control means 104 performs display processing on the master document together with the content of the contract documents in the contract document group (S5).

[0045] The screen for the above selection and display is displayed on the display unit of Terminal 2 by the display control means 104 as shown in FIG. 5 below.

[0046] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration example of the screen displayed on the display unit of Terminal 2.
