[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2021-5360 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] As the use of electronic contract services increases, it becomes more difficult for signers who electronically sign electronic contracts to manage emails containing signature requests. This is because signers' mailboxes are overflowing with emails containing signature requests as multiple requests for signatures are made one after another. Furthermore, because emails with different content may be sent for the same contract, it takes time for signers to keep track of the electronic contract they are currently signing.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides a system, an information processing method, and a program that enable information relating to a plurality of electronic contracts to be collectively viewed. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a system is provided. The system is configured to be able to execute an acquisition step, a first identification step, and a display control step. In the acquisition step, emails received by at least one person in an organization to which a user belongs are acquired. In the first identification step, a first email containing a request for an electronic signature on an electronic contract is identified from the emails. In the display control step, a display process is executed to display a confirmation image on a user terminal used by the user. The confirmation image is an image displaying electronic contract information. The electronic contract information is information regarding an electronic contract corresponding to the request contained in the first email. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Various features shown in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0009] Incidentally, the program for realizing the software appearing in this embodiment may be provided as a non-transitory computer-readable medium, or may be provided so that it can be downloaded from an external server, or may be provided so that the program is started on an external computer and its functions are realized on a client terminal (so-called cloud computing).

[0010] In this embodiment, the term "unit" may also include, for example, a combination of hardware resources implemented by a circuit in the broad sense and software information processing that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources. In addition, this embodiment handles various types of information, which may be represented by, for example, physical values of signal values representing voltages and currents, high and low signal values as a binary bit set consisting of 0 or 1, or quantum superposition (so-called quantum bits), and communication and calculations may be performed on a circuit in the broad sense.

[0011] In addition, a circuit in the broad sense is a circuit realized by at least appropriately combining a circuit, circuitry, a processor, a memory, etc. That is, it includes an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (e.g., a simple programmable logic device (SPLD), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and a field programmable gate array (FPGA)), etc.

[0012] 1. Overview of System 100 The configuration of a system 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 1. The system according to the present invention is configured by an information processing device 1 or system 100. The system 100 includes the information processing device 1, a user terminal 2, and a requester terminal 3. The system 100 may further include a mail server 4 and a service server 5. The information processing device 1, the user terminal 2, the requester terminal 3, the mail server 4, and the service server 5 are connected to each other via a network NW.

[0013] The information processing device 1 is configured, for example, by a server. The user terminal 2 and the requester terminal 3 are configured by any computer, for example, a multi-function information terminal (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet terminal), or a personal computer. The user of the user terminal 2 is assumed to be a user (signer) who executes an electronic signature on an electronic contract. The user of the requester terminal 3 is assumed to be a user (requester) who requests a signer to electronically sign an electronic contract. The user terminal 2 and the requester terminal 3 are equipped with a display unit 25 and a display unit 35, respectively. The display unit 25 and the display unit 35 display text, photos, and images (including still images and videos), and are configured by any display.

[0014] The mail server 4 is a server that manages email for the organization to which the user of the user terminal 2 or the client terminal 3 belongs. The service server 5 is a server operated by a provider of electronic contract services. Such electronic contract services may be provided in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service).

[0015] 2. Hardware configuration of information processing device 1 As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing device 1 includes a control unit 10, a communication unit 20, a storage unit 30, an input unit 40, and a display unit 50. The control unit 10 is a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or the like, and controls the information processing device 1 as a whole. The communication unit 20 is a NIC (Network Interface Card) or the like, and is configured to be able to perform wired or wireless data communication with other information processing devices or components. The storage unit 30 stores various programs and data, and is configured by, for example, a memory, a hard disk drive (HDD), a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), etc. The storage unit 30 also stores programs, various data, etc. The control unit 10 then executes various processes based on the programs stored in the storage unit 30, thereby realizing various functions. The input unit 40 is used to input various pieces of information to the information processing device 1, and is composed of a mouse, a keyboard, a pointing device, and the like. The display unit 50 displays text, photos, and images (including still images and moving images), and is configured by any display. When the information processing device 1 is a server, the display unit 50 is configured by a display connected to the information processing device 1.

[0016] 3. Functional configuration of information processing device 1 3, the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 constituting the system includes an acquisition unit 11, an identification unit 12, and a display control unit 13. In this embodiment, the control unit 10 may also include a storage unit 14, a notification unit 15, a setting unit 16, a difference acquisition unit 17, and a learning unit 18.

[0017] <Acquisition part 11> The acquisition unit 11 acquires emails received by at least one person in the organization to which the user belongs. Here, emails received by at least one person in the organization include emails received via shared email addresses for departments or teams. These emails are sent to the mail server 4 from the mail server used by the service server 5.

[0018] By having the acquisition unit 11 also acquire emails received by users other than the signer, it is possible to deal with cases where, for example, the person who acts as the contact point for an electronic contract and the person who signs the electronic contract are different, and an email containing a request to sign an electronic contract from the other party to the contract negotiations is sent only to the contact point but not to the signer.

[0019] On the other hand, when a person who acts as the contact point for an electronic contract requests a signer to sign, if a request email is sent to the signer's email address, the acquisition unit 11 simply acquires the email received by the signer.

[0020] The acquisition unit 11 may access the mail server 4 for email used by the organization to which the user belongs via the communication unit 20 and acquire emails sent to the email address of at least one person in the organization. Here, the mail server 4 may store emails sent to the email addresses of users belonging to the organization, or may manage emails stored on other servers. More specifically, when the information processing device 1 has obtained access rights to emails from the user, the acquisition unit 11 directly accesses the mail server 4 and acquires the emails stored on the mail server 4.

[0021] As another method, the acquisition unit 11 may acquire, via the communication unit 20, an email that was sent to the user's email address and forwarded to another email address managed by the information processing device 1. For example, this email is an email that was sent to the user's email address and stored in the mail server 4, and forwarded from the mail server 4 to another email address managed by the information processing device 1. Also, depending on the settings of the mail server 4, an email that was sent to the user's email address and stored in the user terminal 2 or the requester terminal 3 may be forwarded from the user terminal 2 or the requester terminal 3 to another email address managed by the information processing device 1.

[0022] The forwarding of emails is realized by setting an email address managed by the information processing device 1 in advance as the email forwarding destination when an email is sent to the user's email address. Here, the user can freely decide whether to forward all emails or only specific types of emails.

[0023] Here, the acquisition unit 11 may acquire emails received by a predetermined user. For example, if a specific person digitally signs all electronic contracts, the amount of data processing by the acquisition unit 11 can be reduced by preferentially acquiring emails received by the specific person.

[0024] The acquisition unit 11 may also acquire a designation instruction for designating a signer of an electronic signature, which is given by the user terminal 2, the requester terminal 3, or another terminal.

[0025] <Specific part 12> The identification unit 12 identifies, from among the emails, a first email that includes a request for a digital signature on an electronic contract. Any method of identification may be used, and for example, an email sent from a pre-registered email address, an email received at a pre-registered destination, an email that includes a specific keyword in the subject or body, or an email that includes a specific URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in the body may be identified as a first email that includes a request for a digital signature.

[0026] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, if the email acquired by the acquisition unit 11 contains the following information, it can be determined that the email contains a request for a digital signature. From: Electronic Contract Service S Support (noreply@signs-agree.com) Subject: A signature request has been received To: Accounting Officer Susumu (electronic contract contact person or signatory) Body: "Your signature request has arrived" or confirmation icon I1 to "Confirm the document"

[0027] Furthermore, the identification unit 12 identifies, from among the emails, a second email indicating that the electronic signature on the electronic contract has been completed. The identification of the second email is achieved by the same method as for the first email. Here, when an email indicating that the signer has signed an electronic signature is sent by the electronic contract service, the identification unit 12 acquires the email sent from the electronic contract service. On the other hand, when an email indicating that the signer has signed an electronic signature is sent by the information processing device 1, the identification unit 12 acquires the email sent from the information processing device 1.

[0028] <Display control unit 13> The display control unit 13 executes a display process to display a confirmation image on the user terminal 2 used by the user. Here, the confirmation image is an image displaying electronic contract information. The electronic contract information is information related to an electronic contract corresponding to the request included in the first email. Here, the confirmation image may include multiple pieces of electronic contract information.

[0029] Electronic contract information is information about a case for which a user executes an electronic signature. In emails received by an organization to which a user belongs, the signer who executes an electronic signature is typically, for example, the head of the legal department, an executive, or the president. In this embodiment, the signer is identified for each electronic contract for requests contained in multiple first emails using information that can be obtained from a workflow or business management system, which will be described later. Then, display information for displaying a confirmation image for each signer is generated. Here, the display information is any information for displaying a confirmation image on the user terminal 2, such as image data (bitmap data or vector data), parameters for generating a confirmation image on the user terminal 2 side, or image display commands. Then, a display process is performed to display, for a specific user, information about electronic contracts for which the user is a signer. Here, the screen may be configured to be switchable to display information about electronic contracts for which other people are signers.

[0030] Figure 5 is an example of a confirmation image. The confirmation image contains multiple pieces of electronic contract information. In the example of Figure 5, the electronic contract information includes the name of the electronic contract service, the date of the electronic signature request, the company requesting the electronic contract, the name of the requested document for which the electronic contract was requested, and addresses such as the person in charge of the electronic contract, approver, and settler. In the example of Figure 5, three pieces of electronic contract information corresponding to Service S, Service C, and Service D are displayed.

[0031] The electronic contract information also includes a signature URL. The signature URL identifies a web page for signing the electronic contract. In the example of FIG. 5, when the signature icon I2 is selected by the user terminal 2, the user is redirected to a web page for signing the electronic contract. In other words, the signature URL is included in the signature icon I2. In this way, the signature URL may be written directly or may be indirectly included by being embedded in the icon. Furthermore, when the electronic contract service S is used, the web page for signing the electronic contract is provided by the service server 5 that provides the electronic contract service S.

[0032] On the other hand, if the user is the point of contact for an electronic contract and is in a position to request a superior to electronically sign the electronic contract, the confirmation image may include a request image I6 corresponding to the electronic contract. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, the request image I6 may be displayed instead of the signature icon I2. When the request image I6 is selected by the user terminal 2, the signer of the electronic contract is notified of the signature request. This notification may be realized by email, chat, or other tool containing the signature request. In this way, by displaying the request image I6 and only addressing emails sent from other companies to the point of contact, and then selecting the request image I6 when it is time to request the signer to electronically sign the contract after reviewing the contract contents, the email containing the signature request can be sent to the signer at the timing when all that remains is to electronically sign the contract.

[0033] <Storage Unit 14> The storage unit 14 may store the signed data in a predetermined storage unit. Here, the signed data is data of an electronic contract to which a digital signature is attached. The predetermined storage unit may be the storage unit 30, a storage unit provided in another system, or an external storage.

[0034] <Notification section 15> When a request image is selected by a requester terminal used by a requester, the notification unit 15 may notify the user terminal 2 that a request for an electronic signature for an electronic contract corresponding to the request image I6 has been made.

[0035] <Settings section 16> The setting unit 16 may set the contact information of the signer of the electronic signature designated by the designation instruction as the notification destination in the notification unit 15. This causes the notification unit 15 to notify the designated signer.

[0036] <Difference acquisition part 17> The difference acquisition unit 17 may acquire the difference between the content of the electronic contract for which a request for an electronic signature has been made and the content of the electronic contract before the request for an electronic signature was made. For example, if the electronic contract is text data, the difference between the text of the two electronic contracts is acquired. Furthermore, if the electronic contract is image data, an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process is performed on the electronic contract to obtain text data, and then the difference between the text of the two electronic contracts can be acquired. Furthermore, the difference between the metadata included in the electronic contracts may be acquired.

[0037] <Study Section 18> The learning unit 18 uses various data acquired by the system 100 to perform machine learning.

[0038] 4. Information processing by information processing device 1 Next, information processing by the information processing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0039] The acquisition unit 11 acquires emails received in the organization to which the user belongs (A1: acquisition step).

[0040] If the first mail is included in the e-mails acquired in A1, the identifying unit 12 identifies the first mail that includes a request for a digital signature on the digital contract from among the acquired e-mails (A11: first identifying step).

[0041] Then, in the display control step, the display control unit 13 executes a display process to display a confirmation image on the user terminal 2, and causes the user terminal 2 to display the confirmation image shown in Fig. 5 (A12). Here, the timing for executing the display process is arbitrary, and the display process may be executed when a display instruction is received from the user of the user terminal 2, at a predetermined timing, when a notification is received from the notification unit 15, etc.

[0042] Then, the difference acquisition unit 17 may acquire the difference between the content of the electronic contract for which a request for electronic signature has been made and the content of the electronic contract before the request for electronic signature was made (A13: difference acquisition step). When the difference acquisition step is executed, the display control unit 13 executes a display process to display a confirmation image including the difference (display control step). This makes it easy to check whether there is a difference between the content of the electronic contract previously confirmed and the content of the electronic contract that is actually the subject of an electronic signature, and the content of the difference.

[0043] On the other hand, if the emails acquired in A1 include a second email, the identification unit 12 identifies the second email from the emails indicating that the electronic signature on the electronic contract has been completed (A21: second identification step).

[0044] Then, the acquiring unit 11 acquires the signed data based on the second e-mail (A22: Acquiring step). If the signed data is attached to the second e-mail, the acquiring unit 11 acquires the signed data attached to the second e-mail. On the other hand, if the body of the second e-mail contains a URL that can access a storage location of the signed data (e.g., service server 5), the acquiring unit 11 accesses the storage location of the signed data from the URL included in the second e-mail and acquires the signed data.

[0045] Thereafter, the storage unit 14 stores the signed data in a predetermined storage unit (A23: storage step). Here, the predetermined storage unit may be the storage unit 30 or a storage unit in another business management system.

[0046] The display control unit 13 may execute a display process to display a confirmation image including the signed image I3 (A24: display control step). Here, the signed image I3 is an image related to the signed data stored in the storage unit. The display process by the display control unit 13 may generate the confirmation image shown in FIG. 8.

[0047] In the example of Figure 8, information about the contract manager (name and email address) and contract management information (contract management name, conclusion method, contract conclusion date, contract start date, contract end date, contract amount, etc.) are displayed. In addition, by selecting the "Edit" icon for each, the content of the information can be edited. Note that for information such as the contract conclusion date, which is unlikely to need to be edited or is inappropriate to edit, the "Edit" icon does not need to be displayed.

[0048] Also, in the example of Figure 8, a "list of signature candidates" is displayed. The "list of signature candidates" displays multiple pieces of electronic contract information. The multiple pieces of electronic contract information are candidates for electronic contracts that the user viewing the confirmation image shown in Figure 8 should digitally sign. Here, the "list of signature candidates" is not limited to those for which a signature request has actually been received, and may display information about electronic contracts for which a signature request is expected to be received in the future based on workflow information.

[0049] At this time, by selecting the signature URL on the user terminal 2, it is possible to transition to a screen for executing the signature of the electronic contract. Furthermore, in the example of FIG. 8, a contract image I4 is displayed. This is a thumbnail image of the cover of the electronic contract, etc. Then, by selecting the confirmation icon I1 displayed near the contract image I4 on the user terminal 2, the contents of the electronic contract can be displayed. At this time, if the electronic signature has been completed, a signed image I3 is displayed. By selecting the signed image I3 on the user terminal 2, the signed data can be downloaded.

[0050] Thereafter, the information processing device 1 may return the process to A1 and execute the acquisition step again, or may end the process.

[0051] According to the above process, it is possible to identify the first email containing a request for an electronic signature on an electronic contract from emails received by the organization to which the user of user terminal 2 belongs, and to check information related to the electronic contracts for which a signature has been requested all at once on user terminal 2. This makes it possible for a user to easily understand the status of the electronic contracts to be signed, even if the user has received requests to sign multiple electronic contracts and their mailbox is overflowing with emails requesting signatures.

[0052] 5. Workflow Information As shown in Fig. 9, a workflow image I5 may be generated. At this time, the acquisition unit 11 acquires workflow information related to the workflow. The workflow information is information regarding the arrangement of business procedures in an organization, and in the case of an electronic contract, includes the person in charge, the approver, the settler, the signer of the electronic contract, etc. The workflow information may be managed by the information processing device 1, or may be managed by another business management system.

[0053] Then, the display control unit 13 executes a display process to display a confirmation image including a workflow image I5 corresponding to the electronic contract (display control step). The workflow image I5 is an image that represents the workflow and is generated based on the workflow information.

[0054] The workflow shown in Figure 9 defines that when an electronic contract is concluded, it must go through "confirmation by superiors by Person A, check with business partners by Person B, legal check by Person C, approval by the president, and electronic signature by Person D (signer)." In the example in Figure 9, a check mark is placed in the checkbox once the confirmation is complete. In other words, the example in Figure 9 shows that the president has completed approval, and it is now waiting for Person D to sign. Once Person D signs, the electronic contract is concluded.

[0055] The example in Figure 9 shows that Candidate A has been selected from Candidates A to C displayed in the "List of Signature Candidates." By unchecking the checkbox displayed next to Candidate A and checking the checkboxes of the other candidates, a workflow image I5 related to another electronic contract will be displayed.

[0056] Here, the learning unit 18 may learn about the workflow and actual progress of past electronic contracts, and estimate electronic contracts that are likely to be requested for signature within a predetermined period. The electronic contracts estimated by the learning unit 18 may then be displayed in a "list of signature candidates."

[0057] Furthermore, the learning unit 18 may learn about the calendar information of the signer of the electronic contract and the actual progress of the workflow, and estimate which electronic contracts require urgent electronic signatures. Electronic contract information corresponding to electronic contracts with a higher degree of urgency may be displayed at the top of the list of signature candidates. A signature deadline may also be automatically set on the signer's calendar. Furthermore, the signer may be notified of the signature deadline via chat or the like. Here, calendar information may be obtained from an application that provides a calendar function.

[0058] 6.Other Aspects of this embodiment may be provided as a computer-readable non-transitory recording medium.

[0059] It may also be provided in the following manner. If the signer is not included in the recipients of the first email containing the request for an electronic signature, after the request image I6 is selected by the requester terminal 3, the display control unit 13 executes display processing and adds new electronic contract information to the confirmation image. The same processing can be performed even when the signer is included in the recipients of the first email containing the request for an electronic signature. Regardless of whether the signer is included in the recipients of the first email containing the request for an electronic signature, the display control unit 13 executes display processing based on the workflow information, and adds new electronic contract information to the confirmation image. For example, in the example of FIG. 9, after the president has completed payment, a confirmation image including the electronic contract for which payment has been completed may be generated. In this case, the "list of signature candidates" may display information about the electronic contract before the president's payment was completed. The content of the electronic contract for which an electronic signature has been requested may be displayed side by side with the content of the electronic contract before the request for an electronic signature. Also, a link to the electronic contract before the request for an electronic signature may be displayed.

[0060] Furthermore, it may be provided in the following aspects. In the system, the electronic contract information is information about the matter on which the user executes the electronic signature. In the system, the electronic contract information includes a signature URL, which identifies a web page for executing a signature on the electronic contract. The system is configured to be able to execute a second identification step, in which a second email from the emails indicating that the electronic signature for the electronic contract has been completed is identified, and in the acquisition step, signed data is acquired based on the second email, and the signed data is data of the electronic contract to which the electronic signature has been affixed. The system is configured to be able to execute a storage step, wherein the storage step stores the signed data in a predetermined memory unit, and the display control step executes a display process to display a confirmation image including a signed image, wherein the signed image is an image related to the signed data stored in the memory unit. The system is configured to be able to execute a notification step, wherein the confirmation image includes a request image corresponding to the electronic contract, and in the notification step, when the request image is selected by a client terminal used by a client, the system notifies the user terminal that a request has been made for an electronic signature on the electronic contract corresponding to the request image. The system is configured to be able to execute a setting step, wherein the acquisition step acquires a designation instruction for designating a signer of the electronic signature, and the setting step sets the contact information of the signer designated by the designation instruction as the notification destination in the notification step. In the system, the acquisition step acquires workflow information related to a workflow, and the display control step executes a display process to display a confirmation image including a workflow image corresponding to the electronic contract, the workflow image being an image representing the workflow that is generated based on the workflow information. The system is configured to be able to execute a difference acquisition step, in which the difference between the content of the electronic contract for which the electronic signature has been requested and the content of the electronic contract before the electronic signature was requested is acquired, and in the display control step, a display process is executed to display a confirmation image including the difference. An information processing method comprising the steps of the system. A program that causes a computer to execute each step of the system. Of course, this is not the case.

[0061] Finally, while various embodiments of the present invention have been described, these are presented by way of example only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The novel embodiments may be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
