Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] The article creation support device and article creation support system having the same described herein will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that this disclosure is not limited to the content described below, and can be modified and implemented as such without altering its essence. Furthermore, the drawings used in the embodiments are schematic representations of each device and the article creation support device and article creation support system having the same, and have been partially emphasized, enlarged, reduced, or omitted to enhance understanding, and may not accurately represent the scale or shape of each component. Additionally, some numerical values ​​used in the embodiments are examples only and can be changed as needed. Common components in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals.

[0014] <Overview of the Article Creation Support System> The article creation support device and article creation support system relating to this disclosure are used, for example, to support a user creating an article that includes at least a manuscript, title, and summary. In other words, the article creation support service is provided by the article creation support device and article creation support system when the user uses software or applications (apps) provided by the service provider.

[0015] In particular, the article creation support system employs generative artificial intelligence (hereinafter also referred to as generative AI), which is a trained model generated by performing a predetermined machine learning process. More specifically, in the article creation support system, when the article creation support device receives material information from the user, the generative AI is used to create the manuscript, title, and summary, and the manuscript is reviewed. Furthermore, the article creation support system also uses the generative AI to revise the manuscript, title, and summary according to the review results. In particular, the article creation support system employs a mechanism that allows each revision to be made in conjunction with the review results.

[0016] The outline of the article creation support system disclosed herein will be explained with reference to Figure 1. Here, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of article creation support by the article creation support system according to this embodiment. In particular, Figure 1 shows the process from when the user provides source information to when the proposed article is revised, in an article creation support service provided by a service provider that manages the article creation support device.

[0017] First, as shown in Figure 1, the user transmits source information to the article creation support device using their user terminal device. The article creation device then transmits this source information to the first AI server device, requesting the creation of the article's main text (document). The first AI server device utilizes a generation AI to generate the manuscript, which is then transmitted to the user terminal device via the article creation support device. This allows the user to review the manuscript output to their user terminal device. Here, we assume that the generation AI implemented in the first AI server device is a trained model proficient in article creation and review.

[0018] Next, the article creation support device sends the received manuscript to the first AI server device and requests the creation of a title or summary for the article, or a review of the manuscript. In the first AI server device, a generation AI functions to create the title or summary, or to review the manuscript, and the generation or review process is performed. After that, the title, summary, and review results are sent to the user terminal device via the article creation support device. This allows the user to check the title, summary, and review results output to the user terminal device.

[0019] Next, the user sends a revision request, taking the review results into consideration, to the article creation support device using their user terminal device. The article creation support device then sends the revision information included in the revision request to the first AI server device, requesting revisions to the manuscript. In the first AI server device, the generation AI for manuscript creation functions to revise the manuscript (i.e., create a new manuscript). The revised results are then sent to the user terminal device via the article creation support device. This allows the user to check the revised results (new manuscript) output to the user terminal device.

[0020] To select a generative AI to create the manuscript, title, and summary, and to perform the review, the article creation support device sends a selection request containing the material information to the second AI server device before sending the material information to the first AI server device. Here, it is assumed that the second AI server device has a generative AI implemented, which is a trained model that excels at AI selection and prompt generation rather than article creation. Based on the selection request, the second AI server device generates an AI selection result that includes information from the first AI server device which excels at article creation, and sends the AI ​​selection result to the article creation support device. This allows the article creation support device to determine who to request the creation of the manuscript, title, and summary, and the review, depending on the type of material included in the material information. Alternatively, the article creation support device may uniquely determine who to request the creation of the manuscript, title, and summary, and the review, based on the content of the article to be generated (manuscript, summary, title), the content of the review, the material information, or other information. In other words, the first AI server device may be allowed to decide the recipient of the request regardless of the selection result of the second AI server device, or the recipient may be decided by the user's selection.

[0021] Furthermore, when the article creation support device provides the user with the manuscript, title, summary, and review results, it transmits progress information to the second AI server device in order to provide additional prompts for further exploration of each item. Here, progress information includes not only information related to the manuscript, title, summary, and review results, but also various information exchanged between the user and the first AI server device via the article creation support device. Based on the progress information, the second AI server device generates additional prompts that are requests to the first AI server device and transmits the generated additional prompts to the article creation support device. In this way, the article creation support device provides the user with additional prompts in accordance with the creation of the manuscript, title, and summary, and the review results, making it easy for the user to request further exploration of each item. Note that requests for further exploration include requests to investigate or consider the manuscript, title, summary, and review results from various perspectives.

[0022] In this embodiment, the article creation support system includes, as an example, a first AI server device and a second AI server device, separate from the article creation support device, which is a management device on the service provider's side that provides the article creation support service. However, the article creation support device in this disclosure may be any device capable of executing the above-mentioned article creation support processing, and may include the first AI server device, the second AI server device, or other AI server devices. In other words, the article creation support device in this disclosure may include an AI server device managed by a service provider or another business. To put it another way, the article creation support device in this disclosure can preferably function as an article creation support device whether it is another server device, a user terminal device included in the article creation support system, a terminal device other than a user terminal device, or a combination thereof.

[0023] In this disclosure, "User" refers to a person who creates an article based on some material and who uses the system (program or method) provided by the service provider to perform the specified article creation. The following embodiments assume, but are not limited to, the creation of articles that are content for broadcast on television or radio stations, the web (World Wide Web), newspapers, publications, or advertisements. The article creation support device in this disclosure can be used to create any kind of article, such as reports, proposals, plans, papers, and apologies. In particular, the article creation support device in this disclosure has functions specifically tailored to the fields of newspapers, publications, or advertising, where articles including manuscripts, titles, and summaries are used and it is preferred to have review results fed back and make revisions.

[0024] In this disclosure, “article” is not merely the body text, but includes the manuscript (body text / document), title, and summary. However, at the user's request, either the title or summary may be omitted, or other additional content (e.g., a slug) may be included.

[0025] In this disclosure, “material information” refers to information used to create the manuscript, title, and summary. For example, “material information” can include any information and data such as other written information, notes, audio information, image information, photographic information, and video information. In other words, “material information” is information that is essential for determining the content of the generated article.

[0026] While the application of the article creation support device and article creation support system disclosed herein is described in the following embodiment specifically in the field of mass media such as newspapers, publishing, or advertising, it is not limited thereto. For example, the application fields of the article creation support device and article creation support system may include marketing, consulting, or general manufacturing, sales, or service industries.

[0027] <Configuration of the article creation support system> Next, with reference to Figure 2, the schematic configuration of the article creation support system according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 2 is a conceptual diagram schematically showing the configuration of the article creation support system 1 according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 2, the article creation support system 1 comprises an article creation support device 20 managed by an article creation support service provider, a first AI server device 30a and a second AI server device 30b managed by a generation AI service provider, and a user terminal device 40 used by the user. In the article creation support system 1, the article creation support device 20, the first AI server device 30a, the second AI server device 30b, and the user terminal device 40 are connected to each other via the Internet.

[0028] In the example in Figure 2, only one article creation support device 20 and one user terminal device 40 are shown, but it is certainly possible to include two or more of each device. Also, in the example in Figure 2, only two servers with the generation AI implemented, the first AI server device 30a and the second AI server device 30b, are shown, but it is possible to include three or more of each AI server device. Furthermore, the article creation support device 20, which is the server on the service provider's side, may have some of the functions of the first AI server device 30a and the second AI server device 30b added to it and be configured as a single server device.

[0029] Furthermore, while the first AI server device 30a and the second AI server device 30b differ in the implemented generative AI, their other general configurations are identical. In the following, when neither the first AI server device 30a nor the second AI server device 30b is distinguished, they may be referred to simply as AI server device 30.

[0030] (Configuration of the article creation support device) Next, with reference to Figure 3, the specific configuration of the article creation support device 20 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the article creation support device 20 according to this embodiment. The article creation support device 20 does not need to have all of the components shown in Figure 3; it is possible to omit some components or to add other components.

[0031] The article creation support device 20 is typically a wireless communication device such as a large computer, but is not limited to such a device. For example, any device capable of executing the program related to this disclosure can be suitably applied, such as a feature phone, personal digital assistant, PDA, smartphone, desktop PC, laptop PC, portable game console, or home game console. Furthermore, the article creation support device 20 does not need to be housed in a single enclosure as shown in Figure 3, and the components and processing of the article creation support device 20 can be distributed to multiple server devices or cloud server devices.

[0032] As shown in Figure 3, the article creation support device 20 has an output interface 21, a processor 22, a memory 23 including RAM, ROM, or non-volatile memory (or possibly an HDD), a communication interface 24 including a communication processing circuit 24a and an antenna 24b, and an input interface 25 including a mouse 25a and hard keys 25b. These components are electrically connected to each other via control lines and data lines.

[0033] The output interface 21 has the function of outputting various displays, which are produced by executing the program according to this disclosure in accordance with instructions from the processor 22, to devices such as displays and printers.

[0034] The processor 22 consists of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and has the function of controlling other connected components based on various programs stored in memory 23. Specifically, the processor 22 reads from memory 23 and executes programs for executing information processing related to this disclosure and programs for executing the OS. In this embodiment, the processor 22 executes, in particular, the processes shown in the flow chart of Figure 7, and the processes described in the sequences of Figures 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22. The processor 22 may consist of a single CPU or GPU, or it may be configured by combining multiple CPUs and GPUs.

[0035] Memory 23 consists of ROM, RAM, non-volatile memory, HDD, etc., and functions as a storage unit. ROM stores instruction commands for executing the application and OS related to this disclosure as a program. RAM is used for writing and reading data while the program stored in ROM is being processed by the processor 22. Non-volatile memory is memory in which data is written and read as a result of the execution of the program, and the data written therein is retained even after the execution of the program has finished.

[0036] In this embodiment, the memory 23 stores a program that executes each process shown in the flow chart of Figure 7, and each process described in the sequences of Figures 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22.More specifically, the program is an article creation support program that assists in creating a document including a manuscript, title, and summary based on material information entered by the user, and includes prompts selected from a prompt database and the material information in manuscript creation request information, requests one of the multiple generating AIs to create the manuscript, stores the result of the manuscript creation request received from one of the multiple generating AIs in the progress information database and proposes it to the user, includes prompts selected from the prompt database and the result of the manuscript creation request in title creation request information, requests one of the multiple generating AIs to create the title, stores the result of the title creation request received from one of the multiple generating AIs in the progress information database and proposes it to the user, includes prompts selected from the prompt database and the result of the manuscript creation request in summary creation request information, requests one of the multiple generating AIs to create the summary, and stores the result of the summary creation request received from one of the multiple generating AIs This article creation support program causes a computer, which is an article creation support device 20 (i.e., a processor 22), to execute the following processes: storing the results of the manuscript creation request in the progress information database and proposing them to the user; including the prompt selected from the prompt database and the results of the manuscript creation request in the review request information; requesting one of the multiple generating AIs to review the results of the manuscript creation request; storing the results of the review request received from one of the multiple generating AIs in the progress information database and proposing them to the user; receiving a revision request from the user based on the review results; requesting one of the multiple generating AIs to revise the manuscript; storing the revision results received from one of the multiple generating AIs in the progress information database and proposing them to the user; requesting one of the multiple generating AIs to revise the title and the summary based on the revision results; and storing the revision results received from one of the multiple generating AIs in the progress information database and proposing them to the user.Furthermore, in this embodiment, the memory 23 stores various types of information received in the sequences shown in Figures 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22.

[0039] The input interface 25 consists of a mouse 25a, hard keys 25b, etc., and has the function of receiving instruction inputs related to the execution of the program according to this embodiment, as well as operation inputs for registering various information. Instead of the mouse 25a, a touch panel or the like may be used, and known touch panel methods such as resistive touch, capacitive coupling, and ultrasonic surface acoustic wave touch panels can be used.

[0040] (Configuration of the AI ​​server device) Next, with reference to Figure 4, the specific configuration of the AI ​​server device 30 according to this embodiment will be described. Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the electrical configurations of the first AI server device 30a and the second AI server device 30b according to this embodiment. Note that the AI ​​server device 30 does not need to have all of the components shown in Figure 4; it is possible to omit some components or to add other components.

[0041] The AI ​​server device 30 is typically a wireless communication device such as a large computer, but is not limited to such devices. For example, any device capable of executing the program described herein can be suitably applied, such as a feature phone, personal digital assistant, PDA, smartphone, desktop PC, laptop PC, portable game console, or home game console.

RAM is used to write and read data while the program stored in ROM is being processed by the processor 32. Non-volatile memory is memory in which data is written and read as a result of the execution of the program, and the data written there is retained even after the execution of the program has finished.

[0045] In this embodiment, memory 33 stores a program that executes each process shown in the flow chart of Figure 7, and each process described in the sequences of Figures 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22. More specifically, memory 33 executes a program related to the generation AI. Here, the program related to the generation AI is a program that, upon receiving some input information, performs the process of generating various content such as text, images, audio, music, and video based on learned information. In this embodiment, based on the generation AI, processes such as creating the manuscript, title, summary, and slug that constitute the article, reviewing the manuscript, selecting other generation AIs, and generating prompts are performed.

[0046] The communication interface 34 functions as a communication unit that transmits and receives information with the remotely installed article creation support device 20, user terminal device 40, or other terminal device via the communication processing circuit 34a and antenna 34b. The communication interface 34 performs processing to transmit and receive information from the article creation support device 20, user terminal device 30, or other terminal device, including programs and various information used in the article creation support system 1, as processing progresses.

[0047] The communication processing circuit 34a performs processing based on a wideband wireless communication method such as the LTE method, but it can also perform processing based on a narrowband wireless communication method such as Wi-Fi (e.g., IEEE 802.11) or Bluetooth®, or a contactless wireless communication method. In addition, it is possible to use wired communication instead of or in addition to wireless communication.

[0048] (Configuration of user terminal device) Next, with reference to Figure 5, the specific configuration of the user terminal device 40 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, Figure 5 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the user terminal device 40 according to this embodiment. The user terminal device 40 does not need to have all of the components shown in Figure 5; it is possible to omit some components or to add other components.

[0049] The user terminal device 40 is typically a wireless communication terminal device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), but is not limited to such devices. For example, any device capable of executing the program related to this disclosure can be suitably applied as a terminal device, such as a smartphone, feature phone, notebook PC, PDA, laptop computer, desktop computer, portable game console, home game console, VR (Virtual Reality) headset, or AR (Augmented Reality) glasses. Furthermore, when multiple user terminal devices 40 can communicate with the article creation support device 20, each user terminal device 40 does not necessarily have to be the same type of terminal device; they may be different types of terminal devices. In other words, each user may use a different type of terminal, and a single user may even use multiple terminals of different types.

[0050] As shown in Figure 5, the user terminal device 40 has an output interface 41 including a speaker 41a and a display 41b, a memory 43 including a processor 42, RAM, ROM, or non-volatile memory (or possibly an HDD), a communication interface 44 including a communication processing circuit 44a and an antenna 44b, and an input interface 45 including a touch panel 45a and a microphone 45b. These components are electrically connected to each other via control lines and data lines.

[0051] The output interface 41 has the function of outputting sound from a speaker 41a connected to a control line by wire, in response to instructions from the processor 42. The output interface 41 also has the function of outputting various displays that are output by executing the program according to this disclosure from the display 41b. The display 41b may be composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or electronic paper, and may be a separate display from the user terminal device 40.

[0052] The processor 42 consists of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) and functions as a control unit that controls other connected components based on various programs stored in memory 43. Specifically, the processor 42 reads and executes programs for running the software according to this embodiment and programs for running the OS from memory 43. In particular, it executes each process shown in the flow chart of Figure 7, and each process described in the sequences of Figures 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22. The processor 42 may consist of a single CPU or GPU, or it may be configured by combining multiple CPUs or GPUs.

[0053] Memory 43 consists of ROM, RAM, non-volatile memory, HDD, etc., and functions as a storage unit. ROM stores instruction commands as programs for executing the application and OS related to this disclosure. RAM is used to write and read data while the program stored in ROM is being processed by the processor 42. Non-volatile memory is memory in which data is written and read by the execution of the program, and the data written therein is preserved even after the execution of the program has finished. In this embodiment, memory 43 stores programs that execute each process shown in the flow chart of Figure 7, and each process described in the sequences of Figures 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22.

[0054] The communication interface 44 functions as a communication unit that transmits and receives information with the remotely installed article creation support device 20, AI server device 30, other AI server devices, or other terminal devices via the communication processing circuit 44a and antenna 44b. The communication interface 44 performs processing to transmit and receive information such as programs and various information used in the article creation support system 1 from the article creation support device 20, AI server device 30, other AI server devices, or other terminal devices as processing progresses. In this embodiment, in particular, source information is transmitted to the article creation support device 20, and manuscript information is received from the article creation support device 20.

[0055] The communication processing circuit 44a performs processing based on a wideband wireless communication method such as the LTE method, but it can also perform processing based on a narrowband wireless communication method such as Wi-Fi (e.g., IEEE 802.11) or Bluetooth®, or a contactless wireless communication method. In addition, it is possible to use wired communication instead of or in addition to wireless communication.

[0056] The input interface 45 consists of a touch panel 45a, a microphone 45b, hard keys, etc. (not shown), and has the function of receiving instruction inputs related to the execution of the program according to this embodiment, and operation inputs for registering various information. The touch panel 45a is arranged to cover the output interface 41 and transmits position coordinate information corresponding to the image data output from the output interface 41 to the display 41b to the processor 42. Known methods such as resistive touch, capacitive coupling, and ultrasonic surface acoustic wave touch can be used as the touch panel method. In this embodiment, the touch panel 45a detects swipe and tap operations on each icon etc. displayed on the output interface 41 by an indicator. In this embodiment, the input interface 45 provided in the user terminal device 40 is used, but it is also possible to use an input interface connected wirelessly or wired to a main unit equipped with a processor 42, etc., such as a mouse.

[0057] Furthermore, microphone 45b is a general-purpose microphone that receives the voice emitted by the user and converts it into an electrical signal. The type of microphone 45b is a known type such as a dynamic microphone, condenser microphone, or ribbon microphone. In addition, microphone 45b is not limited to an internal type, but may also be an external type attached to the user terminal device 40.

[0058] <Functional Configuration of the Article Creation Support System> Next, with reference to Figure 6, the functional configurations of the article creation support system 1, article creation support device 20, first AI server device 30a, second AI server device 30b, and user terminal device 40 according to this embodiment will be described. Here, Figure 6 is a functional block diagram related to the article creation support processing of the article creation support system 1 according to this embodiment.

[0059] As shown in Figure 6, the article creation support device 20 has a communication unit 26, a storage unit 27, and a control unit 28 to perform various processes according to this embodiment. The communication unit 26 functions by the processor 22 in Figure 3 executing a predetermined program stored in the memory 23 and controlling the communication interface 24 and the communication processing circuit 24a. The storage unit 27 functions by the processor 22 writing various information to the memory 23. The control unit 28 functions by the processor 22 in Figure 3 executing a predetermined program stored in the memory 23.

[0060] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 6, the storage unit 27 includes a user database 27a (hereinafter referred to as user DB27a), a prompt database 27b (hereinafter referred to as prompt DB27b), a progress information database 27c (hereinafter referred to as progress information DB27c), and an AI selection database 27d (hereinafter referred to as AI selection DB27d). The control unit 28 includes a manuscript suggestion unit 28a, a title suggestion unit 28b, a summary suggestion unit 28c, a slug suggestion unit 28d, a review suggestion unit 28e, an additional prompt suggestion unit 28f, and a material determination unit 28g.

[0061] User DB27a stores various information about users who have entered into a contract with a service provider for article creation support. For example, User DB27a stores information such as the user's identification ID, login password, name, address, and contract plan.

[0062] The prompt DB27b stores multiple prompts, which are commands that prompt the operation of the generation AI of each AI server device. In other words, the prompt DB27b stores multiple prompts corresponding to each generation AI. For example, the prompt DB27b stores prompts for creating manuscripts, titles, summaries, and slugs, and for conducting reviews. More specifically, prompts for manuscript creation may be specialized for creating articles for the web, news articles for newspapers, news articles for television broadcasts, or service implementation case studies. Prompts for title creation may be specialized for creating attractive titles that are easy to read in news apps. Furthermore, prompts for summary creation may be specialized for creating summaries of about two sentences, summaries that comprehensively describe the overall picture of the article, or summaries that raise questions, etc. And prompts for slug creation may be specialized for creating URL slugs while translating the article title into English. In addition, prompts for conducting reviews may be specialized for reviews that evaluate the manuscript from multiple perspectives, reviews of whether the tone and style of the manuscript are consistent, reviews of points that are likely to cause controversy, or reviews for typographical errors. These prompts will be created and stored at any time as appropriate by the service provider, who is the administrator of the article creation support device 20.

[0063] Furthermore, the prompt DB27b also stores prompts for requesting the creation of additional prompts from the generating AI of each AI server device. Additional prompts are prompts that take into account the interaction between the user and the generating AI up to the previous moment and allow for further analysis of the output provided by the generating AI. In addition, the prompt DB27b also stores prompts used to request the selection of a generating AI that can produce the optimal output in response to the user's request. For example, the prompt DB27b may store prompts that prompt the selection of a generating AI specialized in creating the manuscript, title, summary, and slug, a generating AI specialized in conducting a review, or a generating AI specialized in creating additional prompts. Note that the prompts stored in the prompt DB27b are not limited to those mentioned above, and various prompts related to article creation and its processing are stored in the prompt DB27b.

[0064] The progress information DB27c stores material information provided by the user using the user terminal device 40, and progress information related to articles created in the past or currently being created. In other words, the progress information DB27c stores information related to the results of various processes from the time the user requests article creation until the article is completed. This information is linked to the user stored in the user DB, and is stored in a way that makes it possible to understand which user created which article.

[0065] The AI ​​selection DB 27d stores information on multiple AI server devices that implement generation AI. For example, the AI ​​selection DB 27d stores information such as the names of the generation AIs implemented in the first AI server device 30a and the second AI server device 30b, the URLs to which they are accessed, and what kind of generation they excel at. Naturally, it is not limited to the information of the first AI server device 30a and the second AI server device 30b, but also stores information on other AI server devices and the generation AIs implemented in them.

[0066] The material determination unit 28g determines the type of material information received from the user terminal device 40. The material determination unit 28g also stores the material information, along with the determined type, in the progress information database. Here, the content of the type may be text, memo, image, audio, video, document, data, and others, and the content of the type may be changed as appropriate by the service provider.

Here, the manuscript information and the revised summary information stored in the progress information DB 27c are stored linked together.

[0075] The slug suggestion unit 28d performs a slug creation request process based on the manuscript information, which is the result of the manuscript creation request, and processes the slug information received from the AI ​​server device 30 to propose to the user. More specifically, the slug suggestion unit 28d includes predetermined manuscript information extracted from the progress information DB 27c and a prompt for slug creation selected from the prompt DB 27b in the slug creation request information, and requests the creation of a slug from one of the multiple generating AIs (in this embodiment, the first AI server device 30a). The slug suggestion unit 28d also stores the slug information, which is the result of the slug creation request received from the generating AI, in the progress information DB 27c and proposes this slug information to the user via the user terminal device 40.

Each process in the flowchart will be explained in detail in the explanation from Figure 8 onwards.

[0085] In order to create and retrieve a desired article, the article creation support system 1 first performs a folder creation process (S1: folder creation process). This process is executed by the control unit 28 of the article creation support device 20 functioning in response to the user's operation of the user terminal device 40. Here, a folder is a container in the progress information DB for distinguishing and saving generated articles.

[0086] Next, the article creation support system 1 performs material registration processing (S2: material registration process). This process is executed, in particular, by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, which activates the material determination unit 28g of the control unit 28 of the article creation support device 20.

[0087] Next, the article creation support system 1 performs content creation processing (S3: content creation process). This process is executed by the control unit 28 of the article creation support device 20 functioning in response to the user's operation of the user terminal device 40. The content created here consists of elements for further dividing the folders created in the progress information DB according to the type of article, etc.

[0088] Next, the article creation support system 1 performs the manuscript creation process (S4: manuscript creation process). This process is performed, in particular, by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, and by the functioning of the manuscript proposal unit 28a of the article creation support device 20, the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, and the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b. Here, the manuscript is created, in particular, based on the material information and prompt information selected by the user.

[0089] Next, the article creation support system 1 performs a title creation process (S5: Title Creation Process). This process is performed primarily by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, and by the functioning of the title suggestion unit 28b of the article creation support device 20, the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, and the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b. In particular, the title is created based on the manuscript information created by the first AI server device 30a.

[0090] Next, the article creation support system 1 performs a summary creation process (S6: summary creation process). This process is performed, in particular, by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, and by the functioning of the summary proposal unit 28c of the article creation support device 20, the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, and the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b. Here, in particular, the summary is created based on the manuscript information created by the first AI server device 30a.

[0091] Next, the article creation support system 1 performs a slug creation process (S7: Slug creation process). This process is performed, in particular, by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, and by the operation of the slug suggestion unit 28d of the article creation support device 20, the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, and the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b. In this process, the slug is created based on the manuscript information created by the first AI server device 30a.

[0092] Next, a review process is performed in the article creation support system 1 (S8: review process). This process is carried out particularly by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, and by the operation of the review proposal unit 28e of the article creation support device 20, the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, and the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b. In particular, the review process is performed based on the manuscript information created by the first AI server device 30a.

[0093] Then, the article creation support system 1 performs a correction process (S9: correction process). This process is performed, in particular, by the user's operation of the user terminal device 40, and by the functioning of the review suggestion unit 28e, title suggestion unit 28b, summary suggestion unit 28c, slug suggestion unit 28d of the article creation support device 20, the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, and the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b. Here, in particular, various correction processes are performed based on the correction results created by the second AI server device 30b.

[0094] Next, the detailed flow of information processing in the article creation support system 1 according to this embodiment will be explained with reference to Figures 8 to 22. Here, Figures 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, and 22 are sequence diagrams related to article creation support in the article creation support system according to this embodiment. Also, Figures 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, and 21 are examples of screens displayed in the user terminal device according to this embodiment.

[0095] (Initial processing) First, the user terminal device 40 performs a login process to the service system provided by the article creation support device 20 (Figure 8: S11). Specifically, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and inputs predetermined information such as the identification ID and password assigned to the user. Subsequently, an authentication request including the input information is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 8: T11).

[0096] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs authentication processing on the input information included in the authentication request (Figure 8: S12). Specifically, the processor 22 determines whether the received identification ID and password exist among the user identification IDs and passwords stored in the memory 23 (user DB 27a). If a matching identification ID and password exist, the processor 22 sends an approval result approving the login process to the user terminal device 40. If no matching identification ID and password exist, the processor 22 sends an approval result indicating that there is an error in the identification ID or password to the user terminal device 40.

[0097] Next, once the login process is approved, the user terminal device 40 displays a window 50 of the service system provided by the article creation support device 20. Specifically, as shown in Figure 9, the service system window 50 displayed on the display 41b has two display units 50a and 50b. Display unit 50a is provided with a button 51 for starting folder creation and a display unit 52 for displaying a list of already created folders. On the other hand, display unit 50b displays the contents of the folder selected by display unit 52. Specifically, it displays a display unit 53 for displaying the folder name, a display unit 54 for displaying a list of content formed within the folder, and a display unit 55 for displaying a list of materials stored within the folder. In addition, a button 56 for starting the creation of new content is displayed near display unit 54. Furthermore, a button 57 for starting the addition of new materials is displayed near display unit 55. Note that in Figure 9, an event article has been selected in display unit 52, and information regarding the event article is displayed in display unit 50b.

[0098] Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the request for folder creation (Figure 8: S13). Specifically, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40, and the button 51 shown in Figure 9 is touched, thereby creating a request for folder creation. After touching the button 51, the user enters the necessary information (such as the folder name) into another input screen displayed in window 50, and the request for folder creation proceeds. Subsequently, the creation request, including the folder information, is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 8: T13).

[0099] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 creates a new folder in the memory 43 based on the folder information included in the creation request (Figure 8: S14). That is, the control unit 28 processes the data to create a new folder in the progress information DB 27c of the storage unit 27. Once the new folder is created, the new folder name is added to the folder list on the display unit 52 in Figure 9.

[0100] Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the material registration request (Figure 8: S15). Specifically, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and touches button 57 in Figure 9 to make a material registration request. After touching button 57, the material registration request proceeds when the electronic file to be used as material is uploaded on another input screen displayed in window 50. Subsequently, the registration request, including the material information (uploaded electronic file), is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 8: T14).

[0101] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 determines the type of material information included in the registration request, and the material determination process is started (Figure 8: S16). Specifically, the processor 22 checks the type of the uploaded electronic file. That is, the material determination unit 28g of the control unit 28 functions to determine whether the uploaded material is a document, memo, image, audio, video, etc.

[0102] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the material is registered in the memory 43 along with its type through processing by the processor 22, and the material registration process is performed (Figure 8: S17). That is, the material determination unit 28g of the control unit 28 processes the new material information, which is then stored in the progress information DB 27c of the storage unit 27. When new material information is registered, the new material name, etc., is added to the list of materials on the display unit 55 in Figure 9.

[0103] Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the content creation request (Figure 8: S18). Specifically, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40, and the button 56 in Figure 9 is touched, thereby creating the content creation request. After touching the button 56, the user enters the necessary information (content name, etc.) into another input screen displayed in window 50, and the content creation request proceeds. Subsequently, the creation request, including the content information, is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 8: T15).

[0104] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 creates new content in the memory 43 based on the content information included in the creation request (Figure 8: S19). That is, the control unit 28 processes the new content and creates it in a predetermined folder in the progress information DB 27c. Once the creation of the new content is complete, the screen transitions to the one shown in Figure 10. Specifically, a display unit 60 showing the content name is located at the top of the window 50, and eight types of buttons (buttons 61 to 68) are located below the display unit 60. Here, button 61 is a tab for describing the outline of the content. Button 62 is a tab for describing specific details of the content (summary and slug), etc. Button 63 is a tab for downloading the article created within the content. Button 64 is a tab for starting manuscript creation. Button 65 is a tab for starting title creation. Button 66 is a tab for starting summary creation. Button 67 is a tab for starting slug creation. Button 68 is a tab for starting review. Furthermore, when new content is created, the new content name will be added to the content list in the display unit 54 of Figure 9.

[0105] (Manuscript creation process) Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the request for manuscript creation (Figure 11: S21). Specifically, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40, and the request for manuscript creation is made when the button 64 in Figure 10 is touched. After the button 64 is touched, the necessary information is entered into an input screen displayed in a separate window 70, different from window 50, and the request for manuscript creation proceeds.

[0106] Specifically, as shown in Figure 12, window 70 has three display units 70a, 70b, and 70c. Display unit 70a displays the title "Manuscript Creation," which indicates the currently running task. Display unit 50b is provided with a button 71 for starting manuscript creation. Meanwhile, display unit 70c is provided with a display unit 72 that displays the name of the AI ​​to which the manuscript creation has been requested. Next to display unit 72 is a button 73 for selecting materials. Below display unit 70c is an input unit 74 for entering prompts. Inside the input unit 74 are a button 74a for selecting a prompt and an execution button 74b for actually starting manuscript creation (requesting the first AI server device).

[0107] More specifically, the user operates the user terminal device 40, touching button 73 to select the required material. Next, the user operates the user terminal device 40, touching button 74a, which displays multiple prompts. Subsequently, the user operates the user terminal device 40 again, selecting one prompt from the multiple prompts and touching button 74b to complete the manuscript creation request. After that, the creation request, including material information, is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 11: T21).

[0108] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs AI selection request processing based on the material information included in the creation request (Figure 11: S22). Specifically, the manuscript proposal unit 28a of the control unit 28 stores the received material information in the progress information DB 27c and extracts a generation AI corresponding to the material information from the AI ​​selection DB. Here, a generation AI that can be selected for manuscript creation, rather than a generation AI that is requested to create the manuscript, is extracted from the perspective of the material information. In particular, in this embodiment, the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b is extracted. The manuscript proposal unit 28a then generates selection request information including the material information and necessary prompts, and requests the second AI server device 30b to select a generation AI (Figure 11: T22).

[0109] Next, the second AI server device 30b performs AI selection processing (Figure 11: S23). Specifically, when the selection request information is input to the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b, AI information is output as a result of that generation. Here, AI information refers to information relating to the generation AI that is requested to create the manuscript, and in this embodiment, it is information relating to the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a. Then, the AI ​​information is transmitted from the second AI server device 30b to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 11: T23).

[0110] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs manuscript creation request processing based on the source information, the prompt selected by the user, and the received AI information (Figure 11: S24). Specifically, the manuscript proposal unit 28a of the control unit 28 creates manuscript creation request information based on the source information in the progress information DB 27c, the prompt in the prompt DB 27b, and the received AI information. That is, the manuscript creation request information includes the AI ​​information to which the manuscript creation is requested, the prompt, and the source information. The manuscript proposal unit 28a then transmits the manuscript creation request information to the first AI server device 30a (Figure 11: T24).

[0111] Next, the first AI server device 30a performs the manuscript creation process (Figure 11: S25). Specifically, when the manuscript creation request is input to the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, manuscript information is output as a result of the generation. Then, the manuscript information is transmitted from the first AI server device 30a to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 11: T25).

[0112] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs an additional prompt creation request process based on the manuscript information and the history leading up to the manuscript creation (the interaction between the user and the generating AI) (Figure 11: S26). Specifically, the manuscript proposal unit 28a of the control unit 28 stores the received manuscript information in the history information DB 27c, linking it with other history information. Then, the additional prompt proposal unit 28f of the control unit 28 reads the history information stored in the history information DB 27c and the prompts stored in the prompt DB 27b, and extracts a generating AI suitable for creating additional prompt information from the AI ​​selection DB. In particular, in this embodiment, the generating AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b is extracted. The additional prompt proposal unit 28f then generates creation request information including history information and prompts, and requests the second AI server device 30b to create the generating AI (Figure 11: T26).

[0113] Next, the second AI server device 30b performs the process of creating additional prompts (Figure 11: S27). Specifically, when the creation request information is input to the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b, additional prompt information is output as a result of its generation. Here, the additional prompt information is command information for performing some kind of further processing on the created manuscript. Then, the second AI server device 30b sends this additional prompt information to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 11: T27).

[0114] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs output processing based on the manuscript information and additional prompt information (Figure 11: S28). Specifically, the control unit 28 generates output information including the manuscript information and additional prompt information. Then, the control unit 28 transmits this output information to the user terminal device 40 (Figure 11: T28).

[0115] Next, in the user terminal device 40, the processor 42 processes the output information and displays it on the display 41b of the output interface 41 (Figure 11: S29). That is, the input / output unit 48 of the user terminal device 40 functions, and the original document and additional prompts are displayed as predetermined output results. Specifically, as shown in Figure 13, two new display units 75 and 76 appear on the display unit 70c. Display unit 75 displays the text information of the original document (i.e., the original document information). Display unit 75 also displays a button 75a for copying the generated text information of the original document. Meanwhile, display unit 76 displays one or more additional prompts.

[0116] (Title creation process) Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the title creation request (Figure 14: S31). Specifically, when the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and touches button 75a in Figure 13, the document information is copied. Subsequently, when button 65 in Figure 10 is touched, a title creation request is made. After touching button 65, the necessary information is entered into an input screen displayed in a separate window 80, different from window 50, and the title creation request proceeds.

[0117] Specifically, as shown in Figure 15, window 80 has three display sections 80a, 80b, and 80c. Display section 80a displays the title "Title Creation," which is the content currently being executed. Display section 80b is provided with a button 81 for starting title creation. On the other hand, display section 80c is provided with a display section 82 that displays the name of the AI ​​to which the title creation request will be sent. Below display section 80b, there is an input section 84 for entering prompts. Inside the input section 84, there is a button 84a for selecting a prompt, and an execution button 84b for actually starting title creation (requesting the first AI server device).

[0118] More specifically, the user pastes the manuscript information into the input unit 84 by operating the user terminal device 40. Next, the user completes the title creation request by touching button 84b on the user terminal device 40. At this point, the manuscript information pasted into the input unit 84 may be modified by the user. The user can also set a prompt by touching button 84a, but even if no prompt is selected, the prompt for title creation request is automatically selected. Subsequently, the creation request, including the manuscript information, is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 14: T41).

[0119] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs AI selection request processing based on the manuscript information and prompts included in the creation request (Figure 14: S32). Specifically, the title suggestion unit 28b of the control unit 28 stores the received manuscript information in the progress information DB 27c and extracts a generation AI from the AI ​​selection DB to select a generation AI that will create the title. In particular, in this embodiment, the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b is extracted. The title suggestion unit 28b then generates selection request information including the manuscript information and necessary prompts and requests the second AI server device 30b to select a generation AI (Figure 14: T32).

[0120] Next, the second AI server device 30b performs AI selection processing (Figure 14: S33). Specifically, when the selection request information is input to the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b, AI information is output as a result of that generation. Here, AI information refers to information relating to the generation AI that is requested to create the title, and in this embodiment, it is information relating to the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a. Then, the AI ​​information is transmitted from the second AI server device 30b to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 14: T33).

[0121] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs a title creation request process based on the source information, the prompt selected by the user, and the received AI information (Figure 14: S34). Specifically, the title suggestion unit 28b of the control unit 28 creates title creation request information based on the manuscript information in the progress information DB 27c, the prompt in the prompt DB 27b, and the received AI information. That is, the title creation request information includes the AI ​​information to which the title creation is requested, the prompt, and the manuscript information. The title suggestion unit 28b then transmits the title creation request information to the first AI server device 30a (Figure 14: T34).

[0122] Next, the title creation process is performed in the first AI server device 30a (Figure 14: S35). Specifically, when the title creation request is input to the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, title information is output as a result of the generation. Then, the title information is transmitted from the first AI server device 30a to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 14: T35).

[0123] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs an additional prompt creation request process based on the title information and the history leading up to the title creation (the interaction between the user and the generating AI) (Figure 14: S36). Specifically, the title suggestion unit 28b of the control unit 28 stores the received title information in the history information DB 27c, linking it to other history information. Then, the additional prompt suggestion unit 28f of the control unit 28 reads the history information stored in the history information DB 27c and the prompts stored in the prompt DB 27b, and extracts a generating AI suitable for creating additional prompt information from the AI ​​selection DB 27d. In particular, in this embodiment, the generating AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b is extracted. The additional prompt suggestion unit 28f then generates creation request information including history information and prompts, and requests the second AI server device 30b to create the generating AI (Figure 14: T36).

[0124] Next, the second AI server device 30b performs the process of creating an additional prompt (Figure 14: S37). Specifically, when the creation request information is input to the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b, additional prompt information is output as a result of its generation. Here, the additional prompt information is command information for performing some kind of further processing on the created title. Then, the second AI server device 30b sends this additional prompt information to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 14: T37).

[0125] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs output processing based on the title information and additional prompt information (Figure 14: S37). Specifically, the control unit 28 generates output information including the title information and additional prompt information. Then, the control unit 28 transmits this output information to the user terminal device 40 (Figure 14: T38).

[0126] Next, in the user terminal device 40, the processor 42 processes the output information and displays it on the display 41b of the output interface 41 (Figure 14: S39). That is, the input / output unit 48 of the user terminal device 40 functions, and the title and additional prompts are displayed as predetermined output results. Specifically, two new display units appear on the display unit 80c, similar to the display unit 70c where the original document information is displayed. One display unit displays the title text information (i.e., title information). This display unit also displays a button for copying the generated title text information. Meanwhile, one or more additional prompts are displayed on the other display unit.

[0127] (Summary creation process) Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the request for summary creation (Figure 16: S41). Specifically, when the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and touches button 75a in Figure 13, the original document information is copied. Subsequently, when button 66 in Figure 10 is touched, a request for summary creation is made. After touching button 66, the necessary information is entered into an input screen displayed in a separate window 90, different from window 50, and the request for summary creation proceeds.

[0128] Specifically, as shown in Figure 17, window 90 has three display units 90a, 90b, and 90c. Display unit 90a displays the title "Summary Creation," which indicates the currently running task. Display unit 90b is provided with a button 91 for starting summary creation. Meanwhile, display unit 90c is provided with a display unit 92 that displays the name of the AI ​​to which the summary creation request will be sent. Below display unit 90b is an input unit 94 for entering prompts. Inside the input unit 94 are a button 94a for selecting a prompt and an execution button 94b for actually starting summary creation (requesting the first AI server device).

[0129] More specifically, the user pastes the manuscript information into the input unit 94 by operating the user terminal device 40. Next, the user completes the request to create a summary by touching button 94b on the user terminal device 40. At this point, the user may modify the manuscript information pasted into the input unit 94. The user can also set a prompt by touching button 94a, but even if no prompt is selected, the prompt for requesting the creation of a summary is automatically selected. Subsequently, the creation request, including the manuscript information, is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 16: T41).

[0130] When data is transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20, the following processes are performed sequentially: AI selection request processing (Figure 16: S42), selection request (Figure 16: T42), AI selection processing (Figure 16: S43), transmission of AI information (Figure 16: T43), summary creation request processing (Figure 16: S44), creation request (Figure 16: T44), summary creation processing (Figure 16: S45), transmission of summary information (Figure 16: T45), additional prompt creation request processing (Figure 16: S46), creation request (Figure 16: T46), additional prompt creation processing (Figure 16: S47), transmission of additional prompt information (Figure 16: T47), output processing (Figure 16: S48), transmission of output information (Figure 16: T48), and output display (Figure 16: S49). These processes are the same as those for title creation; the only difference is that the target of generation and the content handled have changed from title information to summary information. Therefore, we will omit the explanation.

[0131] (Slug creation process) Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the slug creation request (Figure 18: S51). Specifically, when the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and touches button 75a in Figure 13, the original document information is copied. Subsequently, when button 67 in Figure 10 is touched, a slug creation request is made. Furthermore, after touching button 67, the necessary information is entered into an input screen displayed in a separate window 100, different from window 50, and the slug creation request proceeds.

[0132] Specifically, as shown in Figure 19, window 100 has three display units 100a, 100b, and 100c. Display unit 100a displays the title "Slug Creation," which indicates the currently running task. Display unit 100b is provided with a button 101 for starting slug creation. On the other hand, display unit 100c is provided with a display unit 102 that displays the name of the AI ​​to which the slug creation will be requested. Below display unit 100b is an input unit 104 for entering prompts. Inside the input unit 104 are a button 104a for selecting a prompt and an execution button 104b for actually starting slug creation (requesting the first AI server device).

[0133] More specifically, the user pastes the manuscript information into the input unit 104 by operating the user terminal device 40. Next, the user completes the slug creation request by touching button 104b on the user terminal device 40. At this point, the user may modify the manuscript information pasted into the input unit 104. The user can also set a prompt by touching button 104a, but even if no prompt is selected, the prompt for slug creation is automatically selected. Subsequently, the creation request, including the manuscript information, is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 18: T51).

[0134] When data is transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20, the following processes are performed sequentially: AI selection request processing (Figure 18: S52), selection request (Figure 18: T52), AI selection processing (Figure 18: S53), transmission of AI information (Figure 18: T53), slug creation request processing (Figure 18: S54), creation request (Figure 18: T54), slug creation processing (Figure 18: S55), transmission of slug information (Figure 18: T55), additional prompt creation request processing (Figure 18: S56), creation request (Figure 18: T56), additional prompt creation processing (Figure 18: S57), transmission of additional prompt information (Figure 18: T57), output processing (Figure 18: S58), transmission of output information (Figure 18: T58), and output display (Figure 18: S59). These processes are the same as those for title creation; the only difference is that the target of generation and the content handled have changed from title information to slug information. Therefore, we will omit the explanation.

[0135] (Review process) Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the review request (Figure 20: S61). Specifically, when the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and touches button 75a in Figure 13, the document information is copied. Subsequently, when button 68 in Figure 10 is touched, a review request is made. After touching button 68, the necessary information is entered into an input screen displayed in a separate window 110, different from window 50, and the review request proceeds.

[0136] Specifically, as shown in Figure 21, window 110 has three display sections 110a, 110b, and 110c. Display section 110a displays the title "Review," which indicates the content currently being executed. Display section 110b has a button 111 for starting the creation of a new review. On the other hand, display section 110c has a display section 112 that displays the name of the AI ​​to which the review will be requested. Below display section 110b, there is an input section 114 for entering prompts. Inside the input section 114, there is a button 114a for selecting a prompt, and an execution button 114b for actually starting the review (requesting it from the first AI server device).

[0137] More specifically, the user pastes the manuscript information into the input unit 114 by operating the user terminal device 40. Next, the review request is completed when the user touches button 114b by operating the user terminal device 40. At this point, the user may modify the manuscript information pasted into the input unit 114. The user can also set a prompt by touching button 114a, but even if no prompt is selected, the prompt for the review request is automatically selected. Subsequently, the creation request including the manuscript information is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 20: T61).

[0138] When data is transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20, the following processes are performed sequentially: AI selection request processing (Figure 20: S62), selection request (Figure 20: T62), AI selection processing (Figure 20: S63), transmission of AI information (Figure 20: T63), review request processing (Figure 20: S64), review request (Figure 20: T64), review creation processing (Figure 20: S65), transmission of review information (Figure 20: T65), additional prompt creation request processing (Figure 20: S66), creation request (Figure 20: T66), additional prompt creation processing (Figure 20: S67), transmission of additional prompt information (Figure 20: T67), output processing (Figure 20: S68), transmission of output information (Figure 20: T68), and output display (Figure 20: S69). These processes are the same as those for title creation; the only difference is that the target of generation and the content handled have changed from title information to review information. Therefore, we will omit the explanation.

[0139] (Correction process) Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the input of a manuscript revision request, taking the review results into consideration (Figure 22: S71). Specifically, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40, and the content of the revision request is entered into the input unit 114 in Figure 21. Alternatively, the user may operate the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40 and select a prompt related to the revision request from the button 114a of the input unit 114 in Figure 21. Subsequently, the revision request, including the content of the revision request or the prompt, is transmitted from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 22: T71).

[0140] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 processes the manuscript based on the revision request (Figure 22: S72). Specifically, the review proposal unit 28e of the control unit 28 creates revision request information based on the information included in the received revision request. The review proposal unit 28e then transmits the revision request information to the first AI server device 30a (Figure 22: T72). Subsequently, the manuscript revision process is performed in the first AI server device 30a (Figure 22: S73). Specifically, when the revision request information is input to the generation AI 38a of the first AI server device 30a, the revision result (newly revised manuscript information) is output as a result of its generation. The revision result is then transmitted from the first AI server device 30a to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 22: T73).

[0141] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs an additional prompt creation request process based on the correction result and the process leading up to the creation of the correction result (the interaction between the user and the generating AI) (Figure 2: S74). Specifically, the review proposal unit 28e of the control unit 28 stores the received correction result in the progress information DB 27c, linking it to other progress information. Subsequently, the additional prompt proposal unit 28f of the control unit 28 reads the progress information stored in the progress information DB 27c and the prompts stored in the prompt DB 27b, and extracts a generating AI suitable for creating additional prompt information from the AI ​​selection DB 27d. In particular, in this embodiment, the generating AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b is extracted. Then, the additional prompt proposal unit 28f generates creation request information including progress information and prompts, and requests the second AI server device 30b to create the generating AI (Figure 22: T74).

[0142] Next, the second AI server device 30b performs the process of creating additional prompts (Figure 22: S75). Specifically, when the creation request information is input to the generation AI 38b of the second AI server device 30b, additional prompt information is output as a result of its generation. Here, the additional prompt information is command information for performing some kind of further processing on the revised manuscript. Then, the second AI server device 30b sends this additional prompt information to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 22: T75).

[0143] Next, in the article creation support device 20, the processor 22 performs output processing based on the correction results and additional prompt information (Figure 22: S76). Specifically, the control unit 28 generates output information including the corrected manuscript information and additional prompt information. Then, the control unit 28 transmits this output information to the user terminal device 40 (Figure 22: T76).

[0144] Next, in the user terminal device 40, the processor 42 processes the output information and displays it on the display 41b of the output interface 41 (Figure 22: S77). That is, the input / output unit 48 of the user terminal device 40 functions, and the corrected document information and additional prompts are displayed as predetermined output results. Specifically, the display unit 110c that displays the review results displays the new document information, and buttons for copying the document information are also displayed. The display unit and buttons are the same as the document creation screen in Figure 13, so their explanation is omitted. In addition, one or more additional prompts are displayed below the display unit that displays the new document information.

[0145] Next, the user terminal device 40 processes the input of requests for additional corrections to the title, summary, and slug based on the display of the correction results (Figure 22: S78). For example, in the case of adding or correcting the title, the user operates the touch panel 45a of the input interface 45 of the user terminal device 40, and when the copy processing button displayed on the display unit 110c in Figure 21 is touched, the corrected document information is copied. After that, when the button 65 in Figure 10 is touched, the screen transitions to the title creation screen, and the input of the title addition or correction request proceeds. Similar processing is performed for requests to add or correct the summary and slug, and the screen transitions to the summary creation screen or the slug creation screen, and the input of the respective addition or correction request proceeds. Note that each addition or correction request corresponds to the title creation request in Figure 14 (S31), the summary creation request in Figure 16 (S41), and the slug creation request in Figure 18 (S51), and the same processing is performed, so their explanation is omitted.

[0146] Subsequently, when additional information is sent from the user terminal device 40 to the article creation support device 20 (Figure 22: T77), the processor 22 in the article creation support device 20 performs additional modification request processing (Figure 22: S79). Specifically, if the additional information relates to the addition or modification of the title, the same processing as the title creation request processing (Figure 14: S34) is performed; if the additional information relates to the addition or modification of the summary, the same processing as the summary creation request processing (Figure 16: S44) is performed; and if the additional information relates to the addition or modification of the slug, the same processing as the slug creation request processing (Figure 18: S54) is performed.

[0147] Subsequently, as with T72 and S73, the following processes are performed: sending of additional correction information (Figure 22: T78), additional correction processing (Figure 22: S80), and additional correction results (Figure 22: T79). Specifically, a request for additional corrections related to the title, summary, or slug is sent to the first AI server device 30a, each item is added or corrected in the first AI server device 30a, and each additional correction result is sent to the article creation support device 20. Although not shown in the diagram, each additional correction result is stored in the progress information DB 27c and also sent to the user terminal device 40 for display. The display method is the same as when displaying the creation results of the title, summary, and slug, respectively.

[0148] <Variation> In the embodiments described above, the creation of the manuscript, title, abstract, and slug, as well as the review process, were performed in response to user input instructions. However, these processes may be performed automatically in a series of steps. That is, after the material information is selected by the user, the user may simply touch the execute button, and the manuscript, title, abstract, and review results may be suggested simultaneously. In such a case, the control unit 28 would control the manuscript suggestion unit 28a, title suggestion unit 28b, abstract suggestion unit 28c, slug suggestion unit 28d, review suggestion unit 28e, additional prompt suggestion unit 28f, and material determination unit 28g to function in a series of steps.

[0149] Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the created manuscript was copied, and the copied content was pasted into a predetermined input field when creating the title, summary, and slug. However, the creation of the title, summary, and slug may be performed without this process. For example, a predetermined button may be added to the manuscript creation screen (window 70), and when this button is clicked, a window 210 as shown in Figure 23 may pop up. Here, Figure 23 is an example of a screen displayed in a user terminal device according to a modified embodiment, and is an input screen that makes title suggestion easier.

[0150] As shown in Figure 23, window 210 has two display sections 210a and 210b. Display section 210a displays the title "Title Suggestion," which is the content being executed. Display section 210b is provided with input sections 211 and 212 for prompt input to make a title suggestion. Input section 211 reads existing prompts from the prompt DB 27b to make a title suggestion, so a button to check before the display "Create automatically" is displayed, and below it is a selection section 211a for selecting an existing prompt. On the other hand, input section 212 allows the user to make a custom instruction, so a button to check before the display "Generate from custom instruction" is displayed, and below it is an input section 212a for entering a prompt. Therefore, the user can choose either automatic or custom to proceed with title creation.

[0151] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 23, window 210 has a display section 213 at its bottom that lists the names of the AIs to which title creation is requested, and a button 214 for starting title generation. The user can select the generation AI they wish to use from among the generation AIs displayed in the display section 213. Naturally, a window 210 similar to the one in Figure 23 may also be displayed for summary creation and slug creation.

[0152] In the embodiments described above, the review results of the manuscript were expected to be provided through written comments, similar to the results of title creation. However, potentially problematic expressions, sentences, vocabulary, etc., may be highlighted to make them easier for the user to see. Furthermore, when the highlighted portion is selected, a window may pop up displaying suggested revisions or allowing the user to input revision instructions.

[0153] Furthermore, in the embodiments described above, the manuscript proposal unit 28a may process not only text information but also propose composite manuscripts that incorporate photographs, images, and videos into the text information. For example, the manuscript proposal unit 28a reads a prompt for generating such a composite manuscript from the prompt DB 27b and sends the prompt to the first AI server device 30a along with the material information. In such a case, the manuscript creation and review may be performed including the placement of photographs, images, or videos within the text information.

[0154] Furthermore, the manuscript proposal unit 28a, title proposal unit 28b, summary proposal unit 28c, slug proposal unit 28d, and review proposal unit 28e may use past article information contained in the progress information DB 27c and process it so that the resulting article has a similar style of expression or writing style to the past article. In addition, each unit may use not only past article information contained in the progress information DB 27c, but also other articles provided by the user. In such cases, when each unit sends request information to the first AI server device 30a, it may send the past article information or other article information, as well as additional prompts that instruct it to make the style of expression or writing style similar to the past article.

[0155] In addition, the manuscript suggestion unit 28a, title suggestion unit 28b, summary suggestion unit 28c, slug suggestion unit 28d, and review suggestion unit 28e may ask the user questions to obtain missing information if the information entered by the user is insufficient and a prompt cannot be selected. For example, if a specific name (company name or personal name) is missing, the user terminal device 40 may display a prompt to enter that name, or it may perform processing to limit the number of characters. In this case, the manuscript suggestion unit 28a, title suggestion unit 28b, summary suggestion unit 28c, slug suggestion unit 28d, and review suggestion unit 28e or additional prompt suggestion unit 28f may request the second AI server device 30b to modify the existing prompts based on the entered information. If a prompt is modified, the manuscript suggestion unit 28a, title suggestion unit 28b, abstract suggestion unit 28c, slug suggestion unit 28d, and review suggestion unit 28e or additional prompt suggestion unit 28f store the modified prompt in the prompt DB 27b. This reduces information deficiencies and other issues in processing after prompt modification, enabling the creation of more accurate manuscripts, titles, abstracts, and slugs, as well as review and other processing. The control unit 28 may perform the processing of each of these units collectively.

[0156] The review suggestion unit 28e or the additional prompt suggestion unit 28f may update existing prompts using the review results. Specifically, the review suggestion unit 28e or the additional prompt suggestion unit 28f causes the generation AI (e.g., second AI server device 30b) to perform a comparative evaluation of the original manuscript, title, summary, or slug with the revised manuscript, title, summary, or slug based on the review results. Then, the review suggestion unit 28e or the additional prompt suggestion unit 28f causes the generation AI (e.g., second AI server device 30b) to modify the prompts used during the manuscript, title, summary, or slug creation process based on the results of the comparative evaluation. This ensures that past review results and their corresponding actions are reflected in the various prompts, enabling more accurate creation of manuscripts, titles, summaries, and slugs, as well as review and other processing. The control unit 28 may perform all of these processes collectively.
