[0049] The information about the specifications of the printed matter may include an image representing the printed matter, such as an image that schematically represents the printed matter or an image that represents an example of the printed matter.

[0050] The management device 11 has information about printing orders and history information for managing manufacturing information. The manufacturing information includes actual specifications for manufacturing and images representing printed matter.

[0051] The collection unit 101 collects information on the specifications of the printed matter from the history information held by the management device 11.

[0052] The learning data storage unit 102 stores a plurality of pieces of learning data collected by the collection unit 101.

[0053] The learning unit 103 receives order information as an input and constructs a neural network model for estimating information relating to the specifications of printed matter that corresponds to the order information, based on a plurality of learning data.

[0054] Specifically, the trained neural network model accepts input of order information including at least one of information about the product, the type of printed matter, information about the product shipping destination, and information about the product grade, and outputs information about the specifications of the printed matter, which represents at least one of a specification sheet corresponding to the order information and an image representing the printed matter (see Figure 5). Deep learning can be used as an example of a learning algorithm, and the neural network model may be constructed so that when order information of the training data is input, information about the specifications of the printed matter of the training data is output.

[0055] More specifically, the order information of the learning data is used as input, and information regarding the specifications of the printed matter is estimated as the output of the model, and the estimated information regarding the specifications of the printed matter is compared with the information regarding the specifications of the printed matter in the learning data to calculate the error in the information regarding the specifications of the printed matter, and the parameters of the model may be updated so as to minimize the value of the error.

[0056] Here, the correlation between the various information included in the order information and the information regarding the specifications of the printed matter will be described.

[0057] First, as in the example below, there is a correlation between the type of product and the type of printed matter and information about the specifications of the printed matter.

[0058] "Automobile Catalog" "Automobile Maintenance Manual" "Apartment sales flyer" "Dinner Menu" "Wedding reception brochure" Travel brochure "New Clothing Catalog" "Travel sale flyer"

[0059] Furthermore, as in the example below, the specifications of the printed matter differ depending on the shipping destination of the product, so there is a correlation between the information about the shipping destination of the product and the information about the specifications of the printed matter.

[0060] Depending on the destination of the product, the specifications for the printed material may include vertical writing, right binding or horizontal writing, left binding. The manuscript (translated manuscript) will be replaced depending on the shipping destination of the product. If the product is shipped to an Asian country such as India or China, the printing specifications include gloss finish or gloss ink.

[0061] Also, as in the example below, the grade (decoration) of the printed matter differs depending on the grade of the product, so there is a correlation between information about the grade of the product and information about the specifications of the printed matter.

[0062] For the premium version, the specifications of the printed material include coated or glossy paper, die-cut cover, glossy PP finish, foil stamping, A4 portrait, perfect binding or thread binding, and paper weight of 135K or more. · For the standard version, the print specifications include high-quality paper, PP backing, flat binding, and 110K paper. · For the low-cost version, print specifications include plain paper, flyers or saddle stitching, and paper sizes 90K or less.

[0063] The model storage unit 104 stores a trained neural network model.

[0064] The receiving unit 105 receives text data written about ordering printed matter from a user who is an orderer, or voice data spoken about ordering printed matter. For example, voice data such as "I'm ordering a car catalog. This car is a budget model for Asia" is received.

[0065] The extraction unit 106 uses a trained large-scale language model to extract various pieces of information contained in the order information from text data written regarding the order of printed matter or from speech data uttered regarding the order of printed matter.

[0066] Specifically, the extraction unit 106 inputs the text data or voice data received by the reception unit 105 and a prompt sentence instructing extraction of various information included in the order information into a trained large-scale language model. The extraction unit 106 extracts various information included in the order information from the output of the trained large-scale language model. An example of the large-scale language model may be generative AI (artificial intelligence). The large-scale language model may be trained to extract various information included in the order information from the text data or voice data. An example of a learning algorithm in this case may be fine-tuning of the generative AI.

[0067] The order information includes information about the product. Specifically, the information about the product includes the product type or product name. The extraction unit 106 extracts, for example, the product type "automobile."

[0068] The order information may also include the type of printed matter. The extraction unit 106 extracts, for example, the type of printed matter, "catalog."

[0069] The order information may also include information about the destination of the product. Specifically, the information about the destination of the product includes the name of a region or a country, etc. The extraction unit 106 extracts, for example, the name of the destination country, "China."

[0070] The trained large-scale language model may be stored in the model storage unit 104 or in an external device.

[0071] The estimation unit 107 uses a trained neural network model stored in the model storage unit 104 to estimate information related to the specifications of the printed matter corresponding to the extracted order information.

[0072] Specifically, the various information contained in the extracted order information is converted into a data structure (e.g., scalar values, vectors, etc.) that can be input into a trained neural network model, and then input into the trained neural network model, and information regarding the specifications of the printed material is estimated from the output of the trained model.

[0073] The output unit 108 outputs to the user the specifications included in the information relating to the estimated specifications of the printed matter and an image representing the printed matter.

[0074] At this time, the user who is the orderer checks the specifications and the image representing the printed matter included in the information on the estimated specifications of the printed matter, and if the specifications differ from those of the printed matter that the user is trying to order, the specifications are changed by an operation of the user or the person in charge of ordering. At this time, the collection unit 101 may acquire the changed specifications as the correct specifications, and collect pairs of the order information and the information on the specifications of the printed matter including the acquired specifications as learning data.

[0075] Next, specific processing performed in the information processing system 10 according to this embodiment configured as described above will be described.

[0076] First, in the client computer 14, the CPU 14A reads out the learning program from the ROM 14B or the storage 14D, loads it into the RAM 14C, and executes it, thereby performing the learning process shown in FIG.

[0077] In step S100, the CPU 14A functions as the collection unit 101 to collect learning data including pairs of order information related to printing and information on the specifications of the printed matter corresponding to the order information, and stores the learning data in the learning data storage unit 102.

[0078] In step S102, the CPU 14A, as the learning unit 103, inputs the order information based on multiple learning data, learns a neural network model for estimating information related to the specifications of the printed matter corresponding to the order information, stores the model in the model memory unit 104, and terminates the learning process.

[0079] Next, in the client computer 14, the CPU 14A reads out the estimation program from the ROM 14B or the storage 14D, expands it into the RAM 14C, and executes it, thereby performing the estimation process shown in Fig. 7. At this time, it is assumed that the user has input text data written regarding the order of printed matter or voice data uttered regarding the order of printed matter.

[0080] In step S110, CPU 14A functions as reception unit 105 and receives text data entered by the user that is written regarding the order for printed matter, or voice data uttered regarding the order for printed matter.

[0081] In step S112, the CPU 14A, as the extraction unit 106, uses a trained large-scale language model to extract various information contained in the order information from text data written regarding the ordering of printed matter or from voice data spoken regarding the ordering of printed matter.

[0082] In step S114, CPU 14A functions as estimation unit 107 and uses the trained neural network model stored in model storage unit 104 to estimate information relating to the specifications of the printed matter corresponding to the extracted order information.

[0083] In step S116, CPU 14A outputs information relating to the estimated specifications of the printed matter to the user as output unit 108, and the estimation process ends. The user can use the information relating to the estimated specifications of the printed matter to place an order for the printed matter.

[0084] By performing this processing, it is possible to predict the specifications of the printed matter based on information about the product.

[0085] <Modification> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0086] For example, the trained neural network model may estimate multiple pieces of information related to the specifications of printed matter corresponding to the extracted order information. In this case, the multiple estimated results of the information related to the specifications of printed matter may be ranked. In this case, pairs of order information and multiple ranked pieces of information related to the specifications of printed matter corresponding to the order information may be collected as training data, and the neural network model may be trained using the collected data.

[0087] In addition, although an example has been described in which various pieces of order information are accepted and information regarding the specifications of the printed matter is estimated, it is also possible to accept only a portion of the various pieces of order information rather than accepting all of the various pieces of order information and estimate information regarding the specifications of the printed matter.

[0088] In addition, although the example has been described in which the client computer 14 learns a model and estimates information related to the specifications of the printed matter, it may also be configured as being divided into a learning device that learns the model and an estimation device that estimates information related to the specifications of the printed matter.

Furthermore, the order of the operations of the processors is not limited to the order described in the above embodiments, and may be changed as appropriate.

[0091] Furthermore, although the "system" in this embodiment is described as being composed of multiple devices as an example, it may also be composed of a single device that has some of the functions of the multiple devices.
