Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In studying for a qualification exam, it is important to repeatedly solve the questions of the qualification exam that have been asked in the past (so-called past questions). However, as the number of years since the start of the qualification exam increases, the number of past questions increases, so examinees need an enormous amount of time just to repeatedly solve the past questions. Past questions are important, but the necessary learning is not limited to just past questions.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an information processing system is provided. The information processing system has at least one or more control units. The control unit controls to display a predetermined screen in response to a request. A plurality of article numbers of legal provisions are displayed selectably on the predetermined screen. The display mode of the plurality of article numbers differs according to the frequency of appearance of the articles asked in the past legal qualification exam questions.

[0015] The control unit 210 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or the like, and controls the entire server device 100.

[0016] The storage unit 220 is any one of an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), an SSD (Solid Sate Drive), or any combination thereof, and stores programs, data, etc. that the control unit 210 uses when executing processing based on the programs. The storage unit 220 is an example of a storage medium. Examples of the data used by the control unit 210 when executing processing based on the programs include, for example, the articles of multiple laws respectively, past exam questions of qualification exams, correct answers, explanations, and when the user creates an account, user information for each account, etc. User information for each account includes the correct answer rate of the user's past exam questions, editing results of articles, explanations, etc., and memos, etc.

[0017] In this specification, the data used by the control unit 210 when executing processing based on a program is described as being stored in the storage unit 220, but it may also be stored in the storage unit of another device that can communicate with the server device 100. In other words, the data may be stored in the storage unit of any device as long as the control unit 210 can access or retrieve it. The functions of the server device 100 are realized when the control unit 210 executes processing based on the program stored in the storage unit 220. The functions of the server device 100 include display control such as screen generation and screen transitions, which will be described later.

[0018] The communications unit 230 connects the server device 100 to the network 150 and manages communication with other devices.

[0019] Note that the hardware configurations of the control unit 210, storage unit 220, and communication unit 230 are not limited to one. For example, multiple control units may be included in the server device 100. The same applies to the client device 110 shown below.

[0020] (2) Hardware configuration of client device 110 Figure 3 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the client device 110. As shown in Figure 3, the client device 110 includes, as a hardware configuration, a control unit 310, a storage unit 320, an input unit 330, an output unit 340, a communication unit 350, and an internal bus 360. The control unit 310, the storage unit 320, the input unit 330, the output unit 340, and the communication unit 350 are electrically connected via the internal bus 360.

[0021] The control unit 310 is a CPU or the like, and controls the entire client device 110.

[0022] The storage unit 320 is one of the following: HDD, ROM, RAM, SSD, etc., or any combination thereof, and stores programs, data used by the control unit 310 when executing processing based on the programs, etc. The storage unit 320 is an example of a storage medium.

[0023] In this specification, the data used by the control unit 310 when executing processing based on the program is described as being stored in the storage unit 320, but it may also be stored in the storage unit of another device that can communicate with the client device 110. In other words, the data may be stored in the storage unit of any device that the control unit 310 can access. The functions of the client device 110 are realized when the control unit 310 executes processing based on the program stored in the storage unit 320.

[0024] The input unit 330 is, for example, a keyboard and / or mouse, which inputs user operations.

[0025] The output unit 340 is, for example, a display, which outputs information.

[0026] The communications unit 350 connects the client device 110 to the network 150 and manages communication with other devices.

[0027] 3. Information Processing The information processing of the embodiment will be described below.

[0028] (1) Overview of the process The control unit 210 controls the output unit 340, etc., of the user's client device 110 to display a predetermined screen (Web page) in response to a request from the client device 110. An example of a predetermined screen is screen 400, as shown in Figure 4, which will be described later. Multiple article numbers of legal provisions are displayed on the predetermined screen in a selectable manner. The display of the multiple article numbers differs depending on the frequency with which the articles have been asked in past legal qualification examinations.

[0029] This structure allows examinees of the qualification exam to understand the importance of each article in relation to its frequency of appearance in past exam questions, and to begin their studies with the articles related to frequently tested topics.

[0030] (2) Details of the process (Short Answer Articles) The control unit 210 generates the screen shown in Figure 4 in response to a request from the client device 110 and controls it to display on the output unit 340 of the client device 110. Figure 4 shows an example of the short answer legal provisions / case law screen 400. The short answer legal provisions / case law screen 400 includes a display area 410 and a display area 420.

[0031] In this specification, the short-answer section of the lawyer's qualification exam (hereinafter simply referred to as the short-answer section) will be used as an example of studying for a qualification exam. However, this is not limited to this specification. The same applies to other qualification exams related to legal provisions, etc. (for example, the administrative scrivener exam, the social insurance labor consultant exam, the tax accountant exam, the certified public accountant exam, the patent attorney exam, the real estate appraiser exam, etc.).

[0032] The display area 410 includes the short-answer article GUI component 411, the short-answer case law GUI component 412, and the My Page GUI component 413. GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. The short-answer article GUI component 411 is a GUI component for displaying information related to the short-answer articles in the display area 420, as will be described later. The short-answer case law GUI component 412 is a GUI component for displaying information related to the short-answer case law in the display area 420, as will be described later. The My Page GUI component 413 is a GUI component for displaying the user's dashboard in the display area 420, as will be described later.

[0033] When the short-answer legal provisions GUI component 411 is selected, the control unit 210 associates the category of law that will be tested in the short-answer section with the short-answer legal provisions GUI component 411 and displays it in the display area 410. Examples of legal categories that will be tested in the short-answer section include the Constitution, Civil Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Code of Civil Procedure, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Administrative Law. When the short-answer case law GUI component 412 is selected, the control unit 210 associates the category of law that will be tested in the short-answer section with the short-answer case law GUI component 412 and displays it in the display area 410. The categories of law that will be tested in the short-answer section include, as mentioned above, for example, constitutional law, civil law, criminal law, commercial law, civil procedure law, criminal procedure law, and administrative law. When the My Page GUI component 413 is selected, the control unit 210 displays the user's dashboard in the display area 410. The dashboard displays information about the user's edited content and learning records, as described later. The learning records include the correct answer rate for past questions, tag information indicating the level of understanding of the answers to past questions, etc.

[0034] The content displayed in display area 420 differs depending on the selection made in display area 410. In the example in Figure 4, the short-answer article GUI component 411 is selected in display area 410, and Constitutional Law 415 is selected as the category of laws displayed in association with the short-answer article GUI component 411. Because Constitutional Law 415 is selected, the display area 420 displays Constitutional Law articles that have appeared in past short-answer questions.

[0035] To explain in more detail, in the display area 420 of Figure 4, the article numbers 450 of the Constitution are displayed, grouped by category related to the articles of the Constitution. A category can also be called a chapter or section. In the example in Figure 4, category 421 is "The Emperor," category 422 is "Rights and Duties of the People," category 423 is "The Diet," category 424 is "The Cabinet," etc. Note that Figure 4 only illustrates a portion of the articles (a portion of the screen that is displayed). The same applies to the following figures. By moving the scroll bar displayed on the right side of the screen, the user can display articles that are not currently shown. On the short-answer section for legal provisions and case law, screen 400 displays multiple legal provision numbers, grouped by category related to the provision.

[0036] Furthermore, the control unit 210 controls the display of each of the multiple article numbers 450 included in each of the multiple categories, so that the display manner within the category differs according to the frequency of the article being asked in the exam. In the example in Figure 4, the background color of the article numbers 450 is displayed differently. In the example in Figure 4, the background color becomes darker the more frequently the article is asked in the exam. This is just one example; the background color may be changed according to the frequency of appearance to indicate the difference in frequency, or the color of the article number 450 itself may be changed according to the frequency of appearance to indicate the difference in frequency, or the font type or font size of the article number 450 may be changed to indicate the difference in frequency. Any manner in which the article numbers are displayed is acceptable as long as the user can intuitively understand that the frequency of appearance differs (for example, whether the frequency of appearance is high or low).

[0037] As shown in Figure 4, within each category, article numbers of articles that have not been asked in past legal qualification exam questions are not displayed. This is because articles that have never been asked in the past are of low importance when studying past qualification exam questions. The short-answer article / case law screen 400 includes a GUI component 436 for displaying all articles. When the GUI component 436 for displaying all articles is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display area 420 to display the article numbers of all articles of the selected law. At this time, the control unit 210 controls the display so that the display manner within the category differs according to the frequency of the articles being asked in exams.

[0038] When an article number is selected in the display area 420, the control unit 210 controls the display area 420 to display at least the content of the article with the selected article number and past exam questions related to the article with the selected article number. Figure 5 shows an example of displaying articles and past exam questions. The example in Figure 5 is an example of when article number 440 (Article 30 of the Constitution) is selected in display area 420 of Figure 4. As shown in Figure 5, display area 420 displays article 510, past exam questions and explanations 520, and notes. Article 510 displays the content of the article corresponding to the selected article number. Past exam questions and explanations 520 displays the question related to the article corresponding to the article number, the correct answer to the question, and an explanation of the question.

[0039] In other words, based on a selection operation in which one law is selected from multiple laws in the display area 410, the control unit 210 controls the display area 420 to display multiple article numbers of the selected law in a selectable manner. Furthermore, based on a selection operation in the display area 410 in which one law is selected from multiple laws regarding the articles, the control unit 210 controls the display area 420 to display multiple article numbers of the selected law in a selectable manner.

[0040] Returning to the explanation of Figure 4. The short-answer statute / case law screen 400 includes a GUI component 434 for specifying the order of the statutes. GUI component 434 allows selection between ordering by statute number and by frequency of appearance. When the sorting by article number is selected in GUI component 434, the control unit 210 controls the display so that the article numbers are arranged in order of article number within the category. The display mode when sorting by article number is selected is an example of the first display mode. In Figure 4, the article numbers within the category are displayed in order of article number.

[0041] When frequency order is selected in GUI component 434, the control unit 210 controls the display so that the article numbers within the category are arranged in order of frequency of appearance in exams. The display mode when frequency order is selected is an example of the second display mode. Figure 6 shows an example of articles within a category being displayed in order of frequency. In the example in Figure 6, the selection in GUI component 434 is frequency order. This indicates that frequency order has been selected in GUI component 434. Furthermore, the articles within categories 421, 422, 423, and 424 are arranged in order of frequency of appearance in exams. For example, in the example in Figure 6, the articles within category 422 are arranged not in order of article number, but in order of frequency of appearance in exams: "Article 14, Article 19, Article 20, Article 30, Article 15, Article 17, Article 21, Article 26, Article 27, Article 29, Article 40".

[0042] (Short Answer Case Law) When the short-answer case law GUI component 412 is selected on a screen like the one shown in Figure 4, the control unit 210 associates the category of law that will be asked in the short-answer section with the short-answer case law GUI component 412 and displays it in the display area 410. Figure 7 shows an example of what happens when the short-answer case law GUI component 412 is selected. Examples of the categories of law that will be asked in the short-answer section include Constitutional Law, Civil Law, Criminal Law, Commercial Law, Code of Civil Procedure, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Administrative Law.

[0043] Figure 7 shows an example where the short-answer case precedent GUI component 412 is selected in the display area 410, and the Constitution is selected as the category of law displayed in association with the short-answer case precedent GUI component 412. Because the Constitution is selected, the display area 420 displays the case names of Constitution precedents that have appeared in past short-answer questions, grouped by the category of Constitutional articles. A precedent is an example of a judgment made by a court. A category can also be called a chapter or section. In the example in Figure 7, category 721 is "Preamble," category 722 is "Pacifism," category 723 is "Emperor," category 724 is "Subjectivity to Enjoy Human Rights," etc. Note that the case name is an example of information that identifies a precedent. The control unit 210 may use information that identifies a precedent (for example, a case number) instead of the case name. The case number is a unique number assigned to each case by the court.

[0044] In other words, based on a selection operation in which one law is selected from multiple laws regarding a precedent, the control unit 210 controls the system to display multiple case names relating to the precedent of the selected law on a predetermined screen, instead of the article number, so that they can be selected.

[0045] Furthermore, the control unit 210 controls the display of multiple case names so that the display manner differs according to the frequency with which the precedents have appeared in past legal qualification exam questions. More specifically, in the display area 420, multiple case names are grouped and displayed according to categories related to the relevant articles of law. Each of the multiple case names contained within each of the multiple categories is displayed differently within the category according to the frequency with which the case name has appeared in the exam. In the example in Figure 7, the background color of the case names is displayed differently. In the example in Figure 7, the background color is less dark the more frequently a case has appeared in the exam. This is just one example; the background color could be changed according to the frequency of appearance to indicate the difference in frequency, or the color of the case name itself could be changed according to the frequency of appearance to indicate the difference in frequency, or the font type or font size of the case name could be changed to indicate the difference in frequency. Any display manner is acceptable as long as the user can intuitively understand that the frequency of appearance differs (for example, whether the frequency of appearance is high or low).

[0046] As shown in Figure 7, categories of articles related to case names that have not been asked in past legal qualification exams are not displayed.

[0047] When a case name is selected in the display area 420, the control unit 210 controls the system to display the content of the case precedent for the selected case name and the issues related to the content of the case precedent. Figure 8 shows an example of displaying case law and past exam questions. The example in Figure 8 is an example of when case name 730 is selected in the display area 420 of Figure 7. As shown in Figure 8, the display area 420 displays the summary 810 and the past exam questions / explanations 820. The summary 810 displays the summary of the case (case law) of the selected case name. The display area 420 displays the editing GUI component 830 corresponding to the summary 810. When the editing GUI component 830 is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display on the screen to show an editor that allows editing of the contents of the summary 810 corresponding to the editing GUI component 830. Through the editor, the user can edit the contents of the case summary (for example, add wording to the articles, modify the articles, color the contents of the articles with thick lines, draw thin lines, etc.). The past exam questions / explanations 820 displays the questions related to the case (case law) of the case name, the correct answers to the questions, and explanations for the questions. In the display area 420, the editing GUI component 840 is displayed corresponding to the past questions and explanations 820. When the editing GUI component 840 is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display on the screen to show an editor on which the question, correct answer, and explanation corresponding to the editing GUI component 840 can be edited. Through the editor, the user can edit the question, correct answer, and explanation (for example, by adding text to the question, correct answer, explanation, etc., modifying the content, adding thick lines, drawing thin lines, etc.).

[0048] (Answer Mode) Returning to the explanation of Figure 4, the short-answer statute / case law screen 400 includes a GUI component 435 that instructs the user to switch modes. GUI component 435 is configured to allow selection between a statute confirmation mode and an answer mode (a mode for solving past questions). The statute confirmation mode is a mode in which the user confirms the statute, the question, and the answer, and displays a screen as shown in Figures 4 to 8 above. The answer mode is a mode in which the user solves the question, and displays a screen as shown in Figures 9 and 10, which will be described later. To put it simply, in answer mode, the control unit 210 controls the display so that the statute and question, and the answer to the question, are not displayed on the same screen (page) until a predetermined operation is received.

[0049] Figure 9 shows an example of the short-answer article / case law screen 400 in answer mode. In the screen of Figure 9, compared to the screen of Figure 4, an indication that it is in answer mode (indication 911) is displayed in the display area 420. When an article number is selected in the display area 420 in answer mode, the control unit 210 controls the display area 420 to display at least the content of the article of the selected article number and the past question related to the article of the selected article number.

[0050] Figure 10 shows an example of how articles and past questions are displayed in answer mode. The example in Figure 10 is an example of when article number 920 is selected in display area 420 of Figure 9. As shown in Figure 10, article 1020 and past questions / explanations 1030 are displayed in display area 420. Article 1020 displays the content of the article corresponding to the selected article number. Past questions / explanations 1030 displays multiple questions related to the article corresponding to the article number, and multiple GUI components (GUI components 1040 and GUI components 1050 in the example of Figure 10) corresponding to each of the multiple questions. In contrast to past questions / explanations 520 in Figure 5, the correct answers and explanations for the questions are not displayed together with the questions in past questions / explanations 1030. This is because it is operating in answer mode, and the correct answers and explanations for the questions are not immediately visible to the user while they are solving the questions.

[0051] When a GUI component 1040 corresponding to a problem is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display of a correct answer / explanation area 1110, which includes the correct answer to the problem and an explanation of the problem, in the vicinity where the GUI component 1040 was displayed, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example in which the correct answer and explanation of the problem are further displayed. Similarly, when a GUI component 1050 corresponding to a problem is selected in Figure 10, the control unit 210 controls the system so that a correct answer / explanation area 1120, which includes the correct answer to the problem and an explanation of the problem, is displayed near where the GUI component 1050 was displayed, as shown in Figure 11.

[0052] These processes are an example of the process in which, once the answer mode is selected and an article number is selected on a predetermined screen, the control unit 210 controls the display of the content of the selected article number and the question related to that article number, and further controls the display of the correct answer to the question and an explanation of the question when a predetermined operation is received. The answer mode is an example of a mode for solving a problem.

[0053] The correct answer / explanation areas 1110 and 1120 further include multiple options related to tag information indicating the user's level of understanding of the answer. In the example for correct answer / explanation area 1120, multiple options are displayed, such as correct answer 1130, not confident 1140, and incorrect answer 1150.

[0054] For example, if option 1140, which indicates a lack of confidence, is selected from among several options, and the user is logged into the information processing system 1000, the control unit 210 attaches the tag information "not confident," which is indicated by the selected option, to the corresponding question (in the example in Figure 11, question 10, part R1 of the Judicial Examination, part c) and stores it in a predetermined storage area such as the storage unit 220.

[0055] This process is an example of a process that, when one of several options is selected, attaches the tag information indicated by the selected option to the corresponding question and stores it.

[0056] (Editing function) The editing function will be explained using Figures 5 and 12. As shown in Figure 5, the display area 420 displays an editing GUI component 530 corresponding to the clause 510. When the editing GUI component 530 is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display of an editor 1210 on the screen, which allows editing of the content of the clause 510 corresponding to the editing GUI component 530, as shown in Figure 12. The editing GUI component 530 is an example of a first editing graphical user interface component. Through the editor 1210, the user can edit the content of the clause (for example, by adding thick lines or thin lines to the content of the clause). Figure 12 is a diagram illustrating the editing function.

[0057] In other words, when an article number is selected on the short-answer article / case law screen 400, an editing GUI component 530 is displayed corresponding to the content of the article. When the editing GUI component 530 is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display of the editor 1210, which makes the content of the article editable.

[0058] Furthermore, in the display area 420 of Figure 5, an editing GUI component 540 is displayed corresponding to the past questions and explanations 520. When the editing GUI component 540 is selected, the control unit 210 controls the display of an editor 1220 on the screen, which allows editing of the questions, correct answers, and explanations corresponding to the editing GUI component 540, as shown in Figure 12. The editing GUI component 540 is an example of a second editing graphical user interface component. Through the editor 1220, the user can edit the questions, correct answers, and explanations (for example, by adding text to the questions, correct answers, explanations, etc., modifying the content, adding thick lines, drawing thin lines, etc.).

[0059] Furthermore, Figure 5 shows the original text display GUI component 550. When the original text display GUI component 550 is selected, the control unit 210 can display the original text, including the articles, questions, correct answers, and explanations, in the display area 420, before editing. This is so that even if the text is accidentally edited, the information in the original text can be checked.

[0060] As shown in Figure 5, each article's page displays a "← Previous Article" GUI component and a "Next Article →" GUI component. When the system is set to display only articles that have been previously tested, selecting either the "← Previous Article" GUI component or the "Next Article →" GUI component will display only the pages of articles that have been previously tested. On the other hand, when the system is set to display all articles, including those that have not been previously tested, selecting either the "← Previous Article" GUI component or the "Next Article →" GUI component will display all the article pages in order according to the article number.
