DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. The names and functions of the components are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

[0013] <Outline of embodiment> <1.1 Overall system configuration> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the system 1.

[0014] 1 includes a contract conclusion and document management service server 20, a user terminal 10, a document review service server 93, a large-scale language model service server 95, a personnel management service server 96, and a user terminal 10A. These devices are connected for communication via a network 80.

[0015] In the illustrated example, terminals such as terminal 10 and terminal 10A are shown as terminals used by users of the contract conclusion and document management service provided by server 20, and each user operates their own terminal.

[0016] In this embodiment, each device (terminal device, server, etc.) can also be considered as an information processing device. That is, a collection of devices can be considered as one "information processing device," and system 1 can be formed as a collection of multiple devices. The way in which multiple functions required to realize system 1 according to this embodiment are allocated to one or multiple pieces of hardware can be determined appropriately in consideration of the processing capacity of each piece of hardware and / or the specifications required for system 1.

[0017] The terminal 10 is a device operated by a user. The terminal 10 is realized, for example, as follows. · Handheld devices such as smartphones and tablets Desktop PCs (Personal Computers), laptop PCs Wearable devices worn by users (wristwatches, glasses, etc.) The terminal 10 includes a communication IF (Interface) 12 , an input device 13 , an output device 14 , a memory 15 , a storage 16 , and a processor 19 .

[0018] The communication IF 12 is an interface for inputting and outputting signals so that the terminal 10 can communicate with an external device.

[0019] The input device 13 is a device for receiving input operations from a user (for example, a touch panel, a touch pad, a pointing device such as a mouse, a keyboard, etc.).

[0020] The output device 14 is a device (such as a display or speaker) for presenting information to the user.

[0021] The memory 15 is for temporarily storing programs and data to be processed by the programs, and is a volatile memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).

[0022] The storage 16 is for storing data, and is, for example, a flash memory or a hard disk drive (HDD).

[0023] The processor 19 is hardware for executing an instruction set written in a program, and is composed of an arithmetic unit, a register, a peripheral circuit, and the like.

[0024] Server 20 is a device that provides a service for electronically concluding contracts and a service for managing document data concluded through electronic contracts. In system 1, the contract conclusion service provided by server 20 and the document data management service may be provided by different devices or different businesses. For example, server 20 may provide a document management service and, in addition to data on electronically signed contracts, optically read paper contracts with stamps to extract information such as the contract period and whether the contract is automatically renewed, and manage this information together with the scanned data of the contract as management information. This allows users to be notified when the contract period expires.

[0025] The server 20 includes a communication IF 22 , an input / output IF 23 , a memory 25 , a storage 26 , and a processor 29 .

[0026] The communication IF 22 is an interface for inputting and outputting signals so that the server 20 can communicate with external devices.

[0027] The input / output IF 23 functions as an interface with an input device for receiving input operations from the user and an output device for presenting information to the user.

[0028] The memory 25 is for temporarily storing programs and data to be processed by the programs, and is a volatile memory such as a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory).

[0029] The storage 26 is for storing data, and is, for example, a flash memory or a hard disk drive (HDD).

[0031] The document review service server 93 is a service that supports document data reviews by accepting document data such as contracts and term sheets that specify contract terms and providing users with information such as whether each clause is favorable or unfavorable to the company, whether there are any missing clauses, and the importance of review items. The document review service server 93 provides a service that supports the above review using a rule base or a trained model. For example, a rule base may be used to review document data by previously associating specific wording or expressions with favorable or unfavorable conditions and explanations. Furthermore, the above review service can be provided by using data obtained by experts reviewing contracts, term sheets, etc. as training data to generate a trained model that responds with review results in response to input document data. The document review service server 93 can also summarize the contents of contracts and generate review comments using a large-scale language model and provide the results to users.

[0032] The large-scale language model service server 95 is a server that executes language processing tasks using a language model constructed by a learning process including artificial intelligence (AI). An LLM (Large Language Model) is a server that has previously learned a large amount of large-scale data (text data, etc.), for example, web content on the Internet, or a large amount of data stored in a specified database, and can execute various language processing tasks by giving the model a task.

[0033] The large-scale language model service server 95 accepts prompt inputs such as text, images, and voice, and generates and responds to the prompts. Examples of LLMs include GPT-3 and GPT-4 developed by OpenAI, and BERT developed by Google.

[0034] The personnel management service server 96 provides services to support recruitment, labor, and other operations for users such as the personnel department of an organization that conducts business activities. The personnel management service server 96, for example, manages a list of employees, and updates the employee list each time an employee joins or leaves the company. The personnel management service server 96 stores information for managing human resources, such as employee salaries and employee evaluations.

[0035] <1.2 Functional configuration of server 20> 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the server 20. As shown in FIG. 2, the server 20 functions as a communication unit 201, a storage unit 202, and a control unit 203.
