As shown in FIG. 8, the end-of-life note support system 11 defines and limits the access rights to each page of the end-of-life note for each person involved, such as the person himself / herself, family members, and experts.

[0025] FIG. 9 is a functional block diagram of the ending note support system 11 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the ending note support system 11 includes, for example, a communication unit 55, an input unit 57, a memory 59, and a processing unit 61.

[0026] The communication unit 55 communicates with, for example, the subject terminal device 4, the family terminal device 6, and the expert terminal device 8. The input unit 77 is a terminal for inputting data from the outside and an operating means. The memory 79 stores an ending note creation support program executed by the processing unit 61. The processing unit 71 executes the ending note creation support program PRG stored in the memory 59 to perform the processing of the ending note support system 11 defined in this embodiment.

[0027] The processing of the ending note support system 11 will be described below. <Basic processing> FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining the basic processing of the ending note support system 11 of this embodiment. Each step will be explained.

[0028] Step ST11: The ending note support system 11 receives the subject information of the subject from the subject terminal device 4. The subject information is, for example, attribute information such as the subject's date of birth, address, contact information, family information, and insurance information. The ending note support system 11 receives the subject information from the subject terminal device 4 at the communication unit 75 shown in FIG.

[0029] Step ST12: The processing unit 81 of the ending note support system 11 generates a first ending note based on the subject information received in step ST11. Specifically, each piece of subject information is associated with the base ending note, and if the subject information includes information such as insurance, an insurance page is added to generate a first ending note.

[0030] Step ST13: The ending note support system 11 provides the first ending note to the student terminal device 4 via the communication unit 75. The first ending note is displayed on the screen of the target person terminal device 4. The target person looks at the first ending note displayed on the screen and checks its contents.

[0031] Step ST14: If the subject views the first ending note and finds any part that the subject wishes to edit, the subject inputs an editing request specifying the content of the part into the subject terminal device 4 and transmits the request to the ending note support system 11. The ending note support system 11 stores the editing request received from the student terminal device 4 in the memory 79.

[0032] Step ST15: Based on the editing request received in step ST14, the processing unit 81 of the ending note support system 11 edits the part of the first ending note related to the editing request to generate a second ending note. The processing unit 81 stores the second ending note in the memory 79. It should be noted that some items of the second ending note data may be automatically generated based on information (for example, insurance information) previously input about the subject.

[0033] Step ST16: When the processing unit 81 of the ending note support system 11 determines that a change in the situation has occurred, the process proceeds to step ST17. The processing unit 81 determines the change in the situation based on information acquired from the subject, related parties such as family members and experts, for example. For example, changes in the subject's own health condition, the health condition of his / her spouse, the expiration of insurance, financial situation, etc. are determined. If the processing unit 81 determines that a change in the situation has occurred, the processing proceeds to step ST17. In this embodiment, the experts are the subject, insurance companies, legal professionals such as lawyers, judicial scriveners, and tax accountants, hospitals, funerals, real estate, and the like.

[0034] Step ST17: The processing unit 81 updates and edits the second ending note in accordance with the content of the situation change identified in step ST17 to generate a third ending note. At this time, the processing unit 81 transmits recommendation information for updating or editing the second ending note to the person terminal device 4 and the family terminal device 6 in accordance with the content of the change in situation.

[0035] The recommendation is, for example, information prepared in association with subject information, changes in circumstances, etc. Furthermore, updates or edits that other subjects have adopted in the past that are highly similar to the subject information, changes in circumstances, etc. of other subjects may be searched for and used. The ending note support system 11 determines that, among the pieces of information compared with each other, pieces of information with a high number of matches have a high degree of similarity with each other.

[0036] Step ST18: The processing unit 81 stores the target person information of the target person, the situation change information, the content of updates and edits, etc. in the memory 79 in association with each other.

[0037] The ending note support system 11 associates subject information such as the subject's attributes, information on changes in the subject's situation, information on the update history of the ending note, asset information, and information on recommendations from experts with each other and stores them in memory 79. This information is used as big data (reference information).

[0038] As explained above, the ending note support system 11 is equipped with a function to assist in updating the ending note according to changes in the situation of the subject, etc., after the ending note has been created, so that the subject can easily update the ending note according to changes in their situation. This allows the end-of-life note to be updated according to changes in the situation, and based on that end-of-life note, the subject can be supported in living the rest of their life as they wish.

[0039] <Authorized Person Sharing Process> FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining the process of sharing an ending note with authorized persons in the ending note support system 11 of this embodiment. Each step will be explained.

[0040] Step ST21: When the ending note support system 11 receives an access request from an authorized person who operates the family terminal device 6 or the expert terminal device 8, it provides the ending note to the authorized person within the scope of the authorized person's authority.

[0041] Step ST22: When the end-of-life note support system 11 receives a request from an authorized person such as a family member or an expert, indicating a question or suggestion regarding the end-of-life note, in response to the operation of the family terminal device 6 or the expert terminal device 8 by the authorized person, the system proceeds to step ST23.

[0042] Step ST23: The ending note support system 11 performs processing to share the request indicating the questions and suggestions received in step ST22 with the subject, family, and experts who have the authority. This allows interested parties to share this information and discuss it online or offline.

[0043] Step ST24: The end-of-life note support system 11 may perform a process of making recommendations (suggestions) regarding the end-of-life note to authorized subjects, family members, and experts. The recommendation is, for example, information prepared in association with the subject information, questions, suggestions from related parties, etc. Furthermore, updates or edits that other subjects have adopted in the past that are highly similar to the subject information, questions, suggestions from related parties, etc. of other subjects may be searched for and used. The recommendations may be subject to learning functions or generative AI.

[0044] As explained above, the end-of-life note support system 11 allows the subject to share the end-of-life note they have created with their family and experts, making it possible to create a feasible and realistic end-of-life note with their cooperation.

[0045] <Update suggestion process> FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the update part suggestion process when the situation changes in the ending note support system 11 of this embodiment. Each step will be explained.

[0046] Step ST31: If the processing unit 81 determines that a change in the situation has occurred in step ST16 of FIG. 10, the process proceeds to step ST17.

[0047] Step ST32: The processing unit 81 identifies a portion in the latest ending note (second ending note data) that the subject should be prompted to update, based on the situation change data acquired in step ST31. For example, the processing unit 81 checks to which classification of situation change the situation conversion data belongs based on keywords, etc. contained in the situation conversion data, and identifies the part of the ending note (page, item, column, etc.) related to that classification as the part where an update should be prompted.

[0048] Step ST33: The processing unit 81 transmits information that enables the subject, family, or expert to identify the location identified in step ST31 to the terminal device of the subject, family, or expert. Based on this information, the subject, family, and specialists operate the terminal device to edit (change) the end-of-life note in accordance with changes in the situation. The processing unit 81 updates the ending note in accordance with the operation (generates the third ending note).

[0049] As explained above, according to the Ending Note Support System 11, when a change in circumstances occurs, the subject or other person can identify which part of the Ending Note is related to the change in circumstances, making it easy to update the Ending Note in accordance with the change in circumstances.

[0050] <Editing permission granting / removal process> FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining the editing authority granting / cancelling process of the ending note support system 11 of this embodiment. Each step will be explained.

[0051] Step ST41: When the predetermined editing authority granting condition is satisfied, the ending note support system 11 determines whether or not the editing authority granting condition is satisfied, and if it determines that the condition is satisfied, proceeds to step ST42. The conditions for granting editing authority include a request from the subject or a former related party, a preset time, a period related to the subject's insurance (at the time of taking out the insurance), and the like.

[0052] Step ST42: The ending note support system 11 grants the editing authority to edit the second ending note data or the third ending note data to the subject or related person who meets the editing authority granting conditions.

[0053] Step ST43: The ending note support system 11 determines whether or not the editing authority deletion condition for the predetermined editing authority granted in step ST41 is satisfied, and if it determines that the condition is satisfied, proceeds to step ST44.

[0054] Step ST44: The ending note support system 11 deletes the editing authority of the target person or related person who meets the editing authority deletion condition, thereby making it impossible for the target person or related person to edit the document. The condition for lifting the editing restriction is the lapse of a predetermined editable period or an instruction from a person who has been given editing authority or a former related person.

[0055] Step ST45: The ending note support system 11 shares the edited content of the ending note data to which editing authority has been granted in step ST42 with the target person or related person associated with the edit. The sharing notifies the associated subject or interested party that the edit has been made.

[0056] Step ST46: The ending note support system 11 creates a message group that allows messages to be exchanged between the subjects or related parties associated with the edit. The target or interested parties can share information and discuss the edit through this message group.

[0057] In addition, with the above-mentioned information, processing related to the cancellation of editing authority may be performed after editing the ending note data, before sharing the edited content or creating a message group.

[0058] As described above, the editing authority granting / removing process shown in FIG. 13 can prevent subjects and related parties who do not have editing authority from accidentally editing various data in the ending note data. In addition, edited content made based on editing authority can be viewed only by the target person and related parties associated with that editing authority, and communication can be carried out via message groups, making it possible to make the edited content more in line with the original intention.

[0059] <Recommendation processing> FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining the recommendation process of the ending note support system 11 of this embodiment. Step ST51: The ending note support system 11 determines whether or not the recommendation conditions are met. The recommendation conditions are defined assuming that when a subject meets certain conditions, a specialist who meets the conditions will share certain information with the subject. For example, if the subject becomes ill, information on insurance coverage may be provided.

[0060] Step ST52: The ending note support system 11 transmits recommendations that meet the recommendation conditions to the target person or related parties.

[0061] The recommendation process shown in Figure 14 can help ensure that activities based on the ending note data are carried out appropriately.

[0062] In addition, the second or third ending note data of multiple subjects may be analyzed according to the attributes of each subject and the content of changes in their situation, and the content of the recommendation may be determined based on the results.

[0063] <Death notification processing> When information that a person has died is input, the end-of-life note support system 11 notifies authorized persons such as the family terminal device 6 and the expert terminal device 8 of this fact. The Ending Note Support System 11 acquires messages from the subject to family, friends, etc. in the form of letters or videos and stores them in a database. The Ending Note Support System 11 reads this information from the database along with a death notice and distributes it to designated family members, etc. The death information of the subject is entered into the Ending Note Support System 11, for example, when a family member opens the system using a key to access the system, or when a pre-approved life insurance company receives a death insurance application.

[0064] By providing this death notification function, when a person dies, relevant parties can be notified immediately, allowing for a prompt response.

[0065] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. That is, those skilled in the art may make various modifications, combinations, subcombinations, and substitutions of the components of the above-described embodiments within the technical scope of the present invention or its equivalents.
