[0019] Embodiment "composition" The information processing device of this embodiment may be composed of one device or multiple devices. In this embodiment, an information processing method using the information processing device of this embodiment, a program installed to generate the information processing device, and a storage medium such as a USB or DVD on which the program is stored are also provided. In this application, "or" is a concept that includes "and," and "A or B" is a concept that includes A, B, and A and B.

[0020] The information processing device of this embodiment may be installed anywhere, may be a server, or may be used in a cloud environment. The information processing device of this embodiment may be composed of one device or multiple devices. Furthermore, when an information processing device is composed of multiple devices, the devices do not need to be installed in the same space such as the same room, but may be installed in different rooms, different buildings, different regions, etc. Furthermore, when an information processing device is composed of multiple devices, some of the devices may be owned and / or managed by one institution, and the rest may be owned and / or managed by another institution.

[0021] The information processing device of this embodiment is generated, for example, by installing a program. This program may be distributed by email, may be available by accessing a predetermined URL and logging in, or may be recorded on a recording medium. The program of this embodiment is used to generate the information processing device described below, and the recording medium of this embodiment is used to record the program. Furthermore, the information processing method of this embodiment is implemented by an information processing device in which the program is installed. The information processing device may execute the information processing method of this embodiment by executing an application installed on the information processing device.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 8 , the information processing device 1 may be capable of communicating with multiple user terminals 100 and an administrator terminal 150. The user terminal 100 is a terminal such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a wearable computer such as a smartwatch or smartglasses, and is typically a mobile terminal such as a smartphone or tablet terminal. The user terminal 100 may have an operation unit 120 through which a user inputs information and a display unit 110 for displaying information. In a smartphone or tablet terminal, the operation display unit has the functions of the operation unit 120 and the display unit 110. The administrator terminal 150 is also, for example, a terminal such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a wearable computer such as a smartwatch or smartglasses. The administrator terminal 150 may have an operation unit 170 through which an administrator inputs information and a display unit 160 for displaying information. In a smartphone or tablet terminal, the operation display unit has the functions of the operation unit 170 and the display unit 160. Input from users and administrators may be performed by text input or voice input. The content output by the output unit 90 can be viewed on the display unit 110 of the user terminal 100 or the display unit 160 of the administrator terminal 150. Furthermore, information input from the operation unit 120 of the user terminal 100 or the operation unit 170 of the administrator terminal 150 may be stored in the storage unit 80 in association with user identification information or administrator identification information.

[0023] 8, the information processing device 1 of this embodiment may include a reception unit 20 that receives input information including a background or purpose for creating a report or proposal to be submitted internally or externally from a user via a user terminal 100, and an acquisition unit 10 that acquires points of discussion from a generation unit 200 using the input information received by the reception unit 20. Typically, a user inputs the background and purpose from the user terminal 100, and the acquisition unit 10 causes the generation unit 200 to generate points of discussion using the background and purpose (see FIG. 4). The points of discussion may include main points of discussion and sub-points obtained by subdividing the main points of discussion.

[0024] The following description will be primarily based on a case where the user inputs the background and purpose, but the present invention is not limited to this case and may be configured so that the user inputs only either the background or the purpose. The following description will be primarily based on a case where a report is created, but the present invention can also be applied to a case where a proposal is used. Since a proposal generally does not require research, the information processing device 1 and the generation unit 200 may be configured to perform the creation of main points and sub-points; in the example shown in FIG. 2, steps S10 to S13 and S50 may be performed. The user may input information other than the background and purpose to obtain the main points and sub-points.

[0025] The generation unit 200 may be a generation AI such as ChatGPT provided separately from the information processing device 1, or may be included as a component of the information processing device 1. By acquiring the points of contention using the background and purpose as in the present embodiment, the generation unit 200 can objectively determine the points of contention after taking into consideration the background of the problem and the purpose of document creation. The answers generated by the generation unit 200 and acquired by the acquisition unit 10 may be stored in the storage unit 80 in association with input information such as a prompt entered into the generation unit 200. The input information and answers may also be stored in the storage unit 80 in association with user identification information such as the user's user ID. The format output by the output unit 90 may be Word, PowerPoint, or the like, and is not particularly limited. The information stored in the storage unit 80 in association with user identification information may be readable by a user or administrator as needed.

[0026] When a user inputs a background and purpose, the acquisition unit 10 may read a prompt from the storage unit 80 and incorporate the input background and purpose into the prompt to cause the generation unit 200 to extract key points. For example, a prompt such as "I would like to create a report with a background of XX and a purpose of △△. Please extract possible key points based on the background of XX and the purpose of △△" may be used to prompt the generation unit 200 to respond. The terms for the background and purpose may be directly incorporated into the prompt, or the acquisition unit 10 may modify the formal aspects of the terms entered by the user before incorporating them into the prompt. A similar approach can be adopted for terms entered by the user, not just the background and purpose. The terms entered by the user may be directly incorporated into the prompt, or the acquisition unit 10 may modify the formal aspects of the terms entered by the user before incorporating them into the prompt.

[0027] In the example shown in FIG. 1 , “Issue 1,” “Issue 2,” and “Issue 3” are main issues, and “Sub-Issue 1.1” and “Sub-Issue 1.2” are sub-issues included in “Issue 1.” The acquisition unit 10 may acquire main issues from the generation unit 200 using the background or purpose received from the user terminal 100 (see S10 and S11 in FIG. 2 ). Then, the acquisition unit 10 may acquire sub-issues from the generation unit 200 that subdivide the main issues using the main issues (see S13 in FIG. 2 ). By adopting such an example, sub-issues can be set by subdividing the main issues, and issues can be set in the document to be created with an appropriate level of granularity. In other words, setting sub-issues in addition to the main issues is beneficial in that it allows the generation unit 200 to provide answers with an appropriate level of granularity that is neither too detailed nor too rough. Sub-issues may be further subdivided, and the number of sub-subdivisions is not particularly limited. However, when preparing a general report, it is empirically preferable to first set a main point and then subdivide that point into sub-points only once. Note that in Figure 2 and Figures 5 to 7, the main point is shown as "point."

[0028] As a method for setting the main points or breaking them down into sub-points, information may be used along a specific axis such as a matrix (for example, by country such as Germany, France, and the UK) or a time series (for example, the 2000s, the 2010s, and the 2020s). Even when such an embodiment is adopted, the acquisition unit 10 may input information to the generation unit 200 using a prompt showing a specific example, so as to break down the main points and sub-points along a predetermined matrix or time series, and obtain a response.

[0029] When acquiring the issues, the acquisition unit 10 may acquire information regarding the survey items, focus, or hypotheses (see S11 in Figure 2). In this case, the acquisition unit 10 may provide specific examples for each of the survey items, focus, and hypotheses, and then have the generation unit 200 generate the survey items, focus, and hypotheses. Providing specific examples in this way can improve the accuracy of responses. For example, a prompt such as, "I would like to create a report with the following objectives, given the following background. I would like to specify multiple issues in the report, so please include the survey items, focus, and hypotheses for each issue. The survey objective indicates the content of the survey, such as "EU AI research and development policy." The focus indicates the central question to be answered in the issues, such as "How does the EU support AI research and development?" The hypothesis is a hypothesis assumed to establish deeper issues, such as "The EU supports AI research and development financially and with human resources, and these efforts may be accelerating the development of AI technology." may be used to prompt the generation unit 200 to respond. When this mode is adopted, the document to be created can acquire the main points from the perspective of the research items, focus, and hypotheses for each of the research items, focus, and hypotheses. The user may appropriately modify each of the research items, focus, and hypotheses for the acquired main points (see S12 in FIG. 2). In the mode shown in FIG. 4, when the user selects "RUN" (the generation button) in FIG. 4 using the operation unit 120, the acquisition unit 10 starts a series of operations related to the main points, inputs input information to the generation unit 200, and acquires information necessary to present the main points, including the research items, focus, and hypotheses, to the user from the generation unit 200.

[0030] The inventors have confirmed that obtaining information regarding research items, focus, or hypotheses from the generation unit 200 and using it to create documents such as reports and proposals is beneficial in that it allows appropriate documents to be obtained even from a consultant's perspective.

[0031] The acquisition unit 10 may use the obtained research items, focus, and hypothesis to have the generation unit 200 break down the main issue into sub-issues (see S13 in Figure 2). In this case, for example, a prompt might be, "Against the background of XX, I would like to create a report with the purpose of △△." For the issue "▽▽▽," the research purpose is "□□□," the focus is "■■■," and the hypothesis is "◇◇◇." Sub-issues are created by subdividing the issue "▽▽▽," and each sub-issue should include the research items, focus, and hypothesis. The research purpose indicates the content of the research, such as "EU AI research and development policy." The focus indicates the central question to be answered by the issue, such as "How does the EU support AI research and development?" The hypothesis is a hypothesis assumed to define deeper issues, such as "The EU supports AI research and development financially and with human resources, and these efforts may be accelerating the development of AI technology." " may be used to prompt the generation unit 200 to respond. The issue "▽▽▽", research purpose "□□□", focus "■■■", and hypothesis "◇◇◇" may be acquired by the acquisition unit 10 from the generation unit 200, and the acquisition unit 10 may automatically select them and incorporate them into the prompt. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the research items, focus, and hypothesis for each issue are shown. When the user selects "RUN" in FIG. 5 with the operation unit 120, the acquisition unit 10 starts a series of operations related to the sub-issue, inputs input information to the generation unit 200, and acquires information necessary to present the sub-issue to the user from the generation unit 200.

[0032] The acquisition unit 10 may cause the generation unit 200 to generate a plurality of investigation tasks for investigating the sub-point (see S20 in FIG. 2). The acquisition unit 10 may acquire one or more search words for investigating the sub-point from the generation unit 200 (see S21 in FIG. 3). In this case, the acquisition unit 10 may acquire the search words from the generation unit 200 using information on the investigation item, focus, and hypothesis of the sub-point. For example, the acquisition unit 10 may prompt the generation unit 200 to respond using a prompt such as, "The issue is set as '▽▽▽', the sub-points obtained by subdividing the issue are set as '▽▽▽▽', the investigation item is set as '□□□□', the focus is set as '■■■■', and the hypothesis is set as '◇◇◇◇'. Please tell me appropriate search words for conducting a web investigation on the sub-point."

[0033] The information processing device 1 may include a search unit 30 that automatically performs a search using a search word (see FIG. 8). In this case, the search unit 30 may automatically perform a search using a search engine using the search word acquired from the generation unit 200 (see S22 in FIG. 3). When there are multiple search words, the search unit 30 may perform a search using the search words sequentially, or may perform a search using a combination of multiple search words. Performing a search after acquiring search words from the generation unit 200 in this way is beneficial in that it enables a highly accurate and objective search. Since search results affect the quality of documents such as reports and proposals, it is extremely beneficial to be able to set search words appropriately.

[0034] Search results such as URLs and titles obtained by the search may be stored in the storage unit 80 (see S23 in FIG. 3). When performing a search, the search unit 30 may automatically perform the search as described above, or the acquisition unit 10 may input search terms into the generation unit 200 to perform the search. In this case, a prompt such as "The issue is set as '▽▽▽', sub-issues into which the issue is subdivided are set as '▽▽▽▽', the investigation item is set as '□□□□', the focus is set as '■■■■', and the hypothesis is set as '◇◇◇◇' have been set. Appropriate search terms suggested are '●●●●', '●●●●●', and '●●●●●●'. Please use one or a combination of these to search for websites that contain related information." may also be used.

[0035] The search unit 30 or the acquisition unit 10 may extract the contents of text, images, etc. of each site obtained by the search and store them in the storage unit 80 (see S24 in FIG. 3). The contents of text, images, tables, etc. of each site stored in the storage unit 80 may then be read by the acquisition unit 10 and used as input information for the generation unit 200 to create a mini-report summarizing the contents. With regard to images and tables, the acquisition unit 10 may input the images or tables as input information to the generation unit 200, and the generation unit 200 may acquire information in which the images or tables have been converted into text. Alternatively, the information processing device 1 may have a conversion unit 70 (see FIG. 8) that converts images and tables into text using an AI model of document structure interpretation or image search technology, and the conversion unit 70 may convert the images and tables into text (see S26 in FIG. 3). The generation unit 200 and the conversion unit 70 may be used in combination.

[0036] The acquisition unit 10 may cause the generation unit 200 to select search information related to the main issue from the multiple search information acquired by the search unit 30 (see S25 and S27 in FIG. 3). For example, the acquisition unit 10 may prompt the generation unit 200 with a prompt such as, "The main issue is set as '▽▽▽', the sub-issues obtained by subdividing the main issue as '▽▽▽▽', the investigation item as '□□□□', the focus as '■■■■', and the hypothesis as '◇◇◇◇'. URLs such as 'XXXXX', 'XXXXX', and 'XXXXX' were acquired as search results. Which URLs are related to the main issue "▽▽▽" and the sub-issue "▽▽▽▽"? Please select the URL with the highest relevance." Having the generation unit 200 select search information in this way is beneficial in that it allows reports, proposals, and other documents to be prepared using only information highly relevant to the main issue and the sub-issues.

[0037] If multiple URLs are selected as search information, the text and images of each URL may be extracted. As for images, images determined to be highly relevant from the converted text may be selected and stored in the storage unit 80 (see S27 in FIG. 3). The obtained images, tables, URLs, etc. may be incorporated into a mini-report or a final report and presented in the report.

[0038] The acquisition unit 10 may cause the generation unit 200 to extract content related to the points of discussion from the selected search information, create a summary, and acquire the generated summary result. When such an embodiment is adopted, it becomes possible to create documents such as reports and proposals using content that summarizes the content of information that is highly relevant to the main points and sub-points of discussion. This is advantageous in that it is possible to expect the creation of documents that capture the main points.

[0039] The acquisition unit 10 may cause the generation unit 200 to create a report for each subtopic using one or more obtained summary results. In this case, the acquisition unit 10 may cause the generation unit 200 to generate a mini-report summarizing each subtopic (see S29 in FIG. 3).

[0040] In this case, the acquisition unit 10 may prompt the generation unit 200 to respond by using a prompt such as, "The issue is set as '▽▽▽', the sub-issue obtained by subdividing the issue is set as '▽▽▽▽', the survey item is set as '□□□□', the focus is set as '■■■■', and the hypothesis is set as '◇◇◇◇'. The URL 'XXXXX' has been determined to be highly relevant. Please extract content related to the sub-issue from the content posted at 'XXXXX'." This process may be performed for all selected information, such as the site of the extracted URL. Instead of using the URL itself as input information, the generation unit 200 may summarize the content of the URL information and then use the summarized content as input information in the prompt.

[0041] Once summaries have been obtained for all of the selected information as described above, the acquisition unit 10 may prompt the generation unit 200 to create a comprehensive summary using multiple summarized pieces of information, using a prompt such as, "'▽▽▽' has been set as the issue, '▽▽▽▽' has been set as a sub-issue obtained by dividing the issue, '□□□□' has been set as the investigation item, '■■■■' has been set as the focus, and '◇◇◇◇' has been set as the hypothesis. '□□□□□', '□□□□□', and '□□□□□' have been extracted as content related to the sub-issue. Please use these contents to extract and summarize only the content related to the sub-issue."

[0042] Once a comprehensive summary related to the sub-points has been obtained as described above, the acquisition unit 10 may prompt the generation unit 200 to create a mini-report using a prompt such as, "The issue is set as '▽▽▽', the sub-points obtained by subdividing the issue are set as '▽▽▽▽', the research item is set as '□□□□', the focus is set as '■■■■', and the hypothesis is set as '◇◇◇◇'. A summary of the content related to the sub-points, 'XXXXXXXX', has been created. Please use this summary to create a report related to the sub-points." (Here, the comprehensive summary is entered in place of 'XXXXXXXX'.)" Note that the comprehensive summary generated by the generation unit 200 may be used as a mini-report without using such a prompt.

[0043] When a mini-report is created for each sub-point, the acquisition unit 10 may use the mini-report for each sub-point to generate a comprehensive report for the points of discussion using the generation unit 200 (see S40 in FIG. 2). At this time, the acquisition unit 10 may use the mini-report for each sub-point to generate a summary of the points of discussion using the generation unit 200. Information related to the points of discussion is output to the user terminal 100 by the output unit 90.

[0044] The receiving unit 20 may receive input from the user to modify information related to the output main points or sub-points. Specifically, the user may be able to modify the content of the generated main points (main points) shown in Figure 4. Similarly, the user may be able to modify the content of the generated sub-points shown in Figure 5. The information generated in the series of steps may be stored in the storage unit 80 one by one, allowing the process to be traced.

[0045] Once the mini-reports for each issue have been collected, the acquisition unit 10 may use the issues and mini-reports as input information to generate a comprehensive report using the issues and mini-reports. Alternatively, a creation unit 40 may be provided that reads a predefined format including titles such as "1. Introduction," "1.1 Background," and "1.2 Purpose and Research Overview" from the storage unit 80 (see FIGS. 6 and 7) and then compiles the generated main issues, sub-issues, mini-reports, etc. to generate a final comprehensive report (see FIG. 8). Alternatively, the acquisition unit 10 may read a predefined format from the storage unit 80 and then generate a final comprehensive report using the generation unit 200 in accordance with the predefined format. The acquisition unit 10 may also have the generation unit 200 consider and create a "title" or "summary" when generating a comprehensive report. The predefined format may be edited by an administrator using the administrator terminal 150, or by a user using the user terminal 100.

[0046] Furthermore, unlike the above-described embodiment in which the acquisition unit 10 causes the generation unit 200 to create a mini-report, the creation unit 40 may create a mini-report using the obtained summary. Similarly, unlike the above-described embodiment in which the acquisition unit 10 causes the generation unit 200 to create a comprehensive report, a report for each issue may be created using the mini-report created by the creation unit 40 or obtained by the acquisition unit 10.

[0047] At the stage of creating the final comprehensive report, the mini-reports for each subtopic may be summarized by the generating unit 200, and the summarized mini-reports may be used. Similarly, the reports for each topic may be summarized by the generating unit 200, and the summarized reports may be used. When such an embodiment is adopted, it is possible to prevent the final comprehensive report from becoming too long.

[0048] The user may be able to issue instructions via the user terminal 100 regarding modifications to the mini-reports corresponding to the obtained minor points, the report corresponding to the main points, and the final comprehensive report, such as modifications to the writing style, tone, word count, and perspectives to be considered. When such instructions are input, the acquisition unit 10 may input the instructions and the mini-report, report, or comprehensive report to the generation unit 200, thereby obtaining the modified report. Furthermore, when a user makes modifications via the user terminal 100, the modifications may be reflected as they are in the mini-report, report, and comprehensive report. For example, if a user desires information on Germany but the survey results for Germany are not included, the user may input a request for information on Germany via the user terminal 100, and the mini-report may be generated reflecting the input instruction. In this case, a prompt may be included to request information on “Germany,” and the acquisition unit 10 may use the prompt to obtain a response from the generation unit 200. Furthermore, if there are sections that the user would like to be lengthened or shortened, the user may specify the sections and then input that request via the user terminal 100. In this case, for example, a mini-report on the relevant section and the URL and images used to create the mini-report may be incorporated into the prompt, and the acquisition unit 10 may input an instruction to the generation unit 200 to make the content of the mini-report more detailed or more concise, and then the acquisition unit 10 may acquire the revised content. By adopting such an embodiment that allows the user to give appropriate instructions for revision, it is advantageous in that it is possible to create a report, proposal, or other document that meets the user's needs.

[0049] The acquisition unit 10, reception unit 20, search unit 30, creation unit 40, conversion unit 70, output unit 90, etc. shown in FIG. 8 may be realized by one unit (control unit) or by different units. The functions of multiple "units" may be integrated. Furthermore, the acquisition unit 10, reception unit 20, search unit 30, creation unit 40, output unit 90, etc. may be realized by a circuit configuration. The information processing device 1 has a processor, and the processor may execute a program to realize various functions of the acquisition unit 10, reception unit 20, search unit 30, creation unit 40, output unit 90, etc. of the information processing device 1 of this embodiment.
