Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a business support system, a control method thereof, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, community support services have begun to use systems that provide support to recipients based on their individual circumstances. Community support must take into account a wide range of recipients and circumstances, including child support, abuse response, child injury and accident response, maternal and child health, domestic violence (DV), sexual violence, delinquency and crime response, developmental disabilities, elderly welfare, welfare for people with disabilities, delinquency and crime investigation, and harassment.

[0003] For example, community support services require appropriate support after analyzing the ever-changing circumstances of the recipients and their surrounding environments. Furthermore, when providing such support, a basis for determining the content of support is required. Such analysis and presentation of the basis must be based on specialized knowledge, such as legal and medical knowledge, institutional knowledge, past cases, and evidence. Therefore, this type of work can be quite difficult for inexperienced supporters.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that analyzes conversation histories regarding child-rearing problems and consultations, and provides support to users suspected of abuse based on the results of the analysis. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiment described below is one embodiment for explaining the present invention and is not intended to be interpreted as limiting the present invention. Furthermore, not all configurations described in each embodiment are necessarily essential configurations for solving the problems of the present invention. Furthermore, in each drawing, the same components are assigned the same reference numerals to indicate their correspondence. Note that to avoid unnecessary redundancy and to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, some of the description may be omitted or simplified. For example, detailed descriptions of already well-known matters or redundant descriptions of substantially identical configurations may be omitted.

[0017] First, in the embodiment of the present invention, a description will be given assuming a child support service, which is a type of administrative service. Note that some or all of the functions and components of the embodiments described below are not limited to application only to child support services, but may be applied to various fields and services. Furthermore, modifications, adjustments, extensions, etc. may be made as appropriate depending on the field or service to which they are applied.

[0018] Furthermore, the term "personal information" used in the following description may include data collected directly from an individual or not, and may include data consisting of one or more items. If other information is generated or derived based on personal information including PII (Personally Identifiable Information), such other information may also be treated as personal information. Personal information is generally managed under strict restrictions on its handling as sensitive data (hereinafter collectively referred to as "sensitive data"). In the following embodiment of the present invention, child support services provided by government agencies and other organizations are assumed to be provided under management based on such restrictions.

[0019] Furthermore, the configuration according to the present invention assumes the use of sensitive data such as personal information that requires careful handling, and therefore assumes a network in which access by users is restricted. Note that the method of access restriction here is not particularly limited, but one example is the use of a closed network that is not connected to the Internet. Furthermore, it is assumed that the data that these users can access, the scope of that data, and how it is handled are specified based on the tasks and authority assigned to them.

[0020] In this embodiment, a generating AI is used that is generated by performing a predetermined learning process based on machine learning technology. The learning algorithm, learning method, and learning data for generating the generating AI are not particularly limited, and may be adjusted or combined as appropriate to provide the functions described below.

[0021] Large language models (LLMs) in generative AI are built based on large-scale data and are capable of outputting data that takes into account the context of the input data. Examples of well-known LLMs include ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, Llama, and OpenELM.

[0022] First Embodiment In a first embodiment of the present invention, support for child abuse will be described as an example of child support services provided by government agencies, etc. In particular, for each case of child abuse, analysis of risks and countermeasures for those risks, and organization and presentation of information that serves as the basis for that analysis are envisioned.

[0023] More specifically, supporters, such as staff at child consultation centers, are required to comprehensively collect information, objectively assess risks, develop evidence-based intervention plans, accurately understand the impact on children, and make future forecasts while dealing with complex and diverse child abuse cases. These tasks require a high level of expertise and considerable effort, placing a heavy burden on individual staff members. Conventionally, there has been a lack of comprehensive support for such multifaceted analysis and structured report creation, particularly the ability to organize and present information that serves as the basis for judgment. Therefore, this embodiment provides a work support function that reduces the workload of the above-mentioned tasks and enables more appropriate support to be provided to support recipients.

[0024] [System Configuration] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a business support system (information processing system) according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The business support system 1 may be, for example, a system whose primary function is to support communication with users and decision-making. It allows for the input, viewing, and sharing of records both within and outside the organization where the business is performed, and may also be a system that allows chat communication between supporters, registration and sharing of photos of support recipients, or simulation of past support trends. Here, a child consultation center that provides child support services is used as an example of an institution to which the system can be applied, but the present invention is not limited to this. The system may be applied to or configured to cooperate with systems of organizations such as city / ward / town / village offices, maternal and child health centers, schools, kindergartens, daycare centers, medical institutions, police, prosecutors, fire departments, child welfare organizations, and non-profit organizations (NPOs), as well as private companies that cooperate with these organizations. The business support system 1 includes a server device 100, multiple user terminals 200, and a linkage system 300. Each device constituting the business support system 1 is configured to be able to communicate via a network NW.

[0025] The server device 100 is a device for providing various functions provided by the business support system 1 to the user terminals 200. The server device 100 provides applications for supporting business efficiency improvement to each of the user terminals 200 and manages information registered via each of the user terminals 200. Note that some or all of the functions described below may be provided by the user terminals 200 or by a linkage system 300 that can link via a network NW. The server device 100 may be configured on-premise using a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a personal computer, or may be logically realized by cloud computing (e.g., SaaS (Software as a Service)). In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, one server device 100 is illustrated as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Multiple server devices 100 may be used, and servers with different roles, such as an authentication server and a database server, may also be included.

[0026] The user terminal 200 is an operation terminal used by users such as staff of a child consultation center. The user terminal 200 may be configured, for example, by an information processing device such as a personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone, or a POS terminal. The user terminal 200 provides users with web services provided by the server device 100 and the functions of applications installed and running on the user terminal 200. In the example of FIG. 1, two user terminals 200a and 200b are shown, but more user terminals may be used. The configurations of the multiple user terminals 200 may be different from each other or may be the same. Furthermore, the available functions may differ depending on the role and authority of the user using the user terminal 200. For convenience, the user terminals will be collectively described as the user terminal 200. Note that when it is necessary to explain each individual user terminal separately, suffixes (a, b, ...) will be added.

[0027] The linkage system 300 is an external system that functions in cooperation with the server device 100 via a network NW. The linkage system 300 may be configured, for example, as a child consultation record system, and its primary functions may be recording child consultations and issuing administrative documents. The child consultation record system performs tasks such as issuing child ID numbers and reception numbers related to children, issuing consultation tickets and temporary protection decision notices, managing family information and fees linked to administrative information, and managing the progress of procedures. The configuration of the linkage system 300 is not particularly limited, and it may be configured to provide, for example, various functions related to business support. While only one linkage system 300 is shown, this configuration is not limited, and the linkage system 300 may be configured with one or more devices depending on the functions and services.

[0028] The network NW may be configured by the Internet, an intranet, a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), etc. Note that there are no particular limitations on the communication standards or wired / wireless nature of the network NW, and the network NW may be configured by combining multiple communication standards. As mentioned above, in consideration of the confidentiality of the information handled, the network NW may be configured as a closed network accessible only to specified users, rather than a public network such as the Internet.

[0029] 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the server device 100 according to this embodiment. The server device 100 includes a control unit 110, a communication unit 130, and a storage unit 140. These units are configured to be able to communicate with each other via an internal bus or the like.

[0030] The control unit 110 controls the operation of the server device 100. The control unit 110 is composed of, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an NPU (Neural network Processing Unit), etc., and provides various functions by reading and executing various programs and data stored in the storage unit 140. The control unit 110 functions as, for example, a data collection unit 111, a data management unit 112, a data generation unit 113, a prompt control unit 114, an output data generation unit 115, a RAG data collection unit 116, a RAG data generation unit 117, a knowledge data update unit 118, a display control unit 119, and a communication control unit 120.

[0031] The data collection unit 111 collects data from various databases (hereinafter referred to as "DB") configured in the storage unit 140 based on user instructions.

[0032] The data management unit 112 manages the recording, reference, updating, etc. of data in the various DBs configured in the storage unit 140. Examples of data managed in each DB will be described later.

[0033] The data generation unit 113 inputs various data and prompts to a large-scale language model (LLM) obtained by learning processing, and outputs desired generated data. Details of input and output to the generation model as a large-scale language model according to this embodiment will be described later.

[0034] The prompt control unit 114 controls and selects prompts to be used in the generative model according to this embodiment, based on user instructions. The prompts used vary depending on the type and content of the generated data output by the generative model. In this embodiment, prompts may be selected based on information such as the purpose of the interview and the interviewee indicated by the user's instructions. Predefined prompts may also be used in combination. In this embodiment, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) technology is used when generating prompts to input into the generative model. An example of using the RAG technology according to this embodiment will be described later. Note that the RAG technology is just one example, and other technologies may be used as long as they can implement the functions to be realized in this embodiment.

[0035] The output data generation unit 115 generates output data converted into an output format using the data generated by the data generation unit 113. For example, the output data may be in a file format or a display screen for displaying on a browser or the like. More specifically, the output data may be report data in a predetermined format.

[0036] The RAG data collection unit 116 collects various information (hereinafter referred to as "RAG data") to be input to the generative model along with the prompt from a knowledge database (hereinafter referred to as "knowledge DB"). The collected information items may vary depending on the content expected as output data. Specific examples will be described later.

[0037] The RAG data generation unit 117 converts the RAG data collected by the RAG data collection unit 116 into a configuration for inputting the RAG data together with prompts into a generative model. The RAG data is used, for example, in combination with pre-registered prompt data to improve the accuracy of the output of the generative model. The information items included in the RAG data may be determined according to the configuration of the generative model, or may be determined according to information specified by the user as interview information.

[0038] The knowledge data update unit 118 updates the knowledge DB in response to changes in laws, the occurrence of new cases, the addition of evidence, etc. The update here may include addition, deletion, editing, etc.

[0039] The display control unit 119 controls the display of the display screen generated by the output data generation unit 115, forms (described later), and the like on the screen. The display control unit 119 also displays a screen for receiving various instructions from the user. For example, the display control unit 119 may provide data of a UI (User Interface) screen for display to the user terminal 200.

[0040] The communication control unit 120 controls communication with external devices (e.g., the user terminal 200 and the linkage system 300) and transmits and receives data. The communication control here may be performed according to, for example, the configuration of the closed network and access restrictions.

[0041] The communication unit 130 is a communication interface for communicating with external devices via the network NW. The communication unit 130 may be configured to be compatible with multiple communication standards depending on the configuration of the network NW.

[0042] The storage unit 140 is a storage device for storing programs, data, etc. for executing various control processes and functions within the control unit 110. The storage unit 140 is configured from volatile / non-volatile storage devices such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and a flash memory. The storage unit 140 includes a DB for managing data corresponding to the functions described below.

[0043] The business data DB 141 manages various business data related to the support business. For example, it may manage information on children who are support recipients and information on those involved. It may also manage information on supporters such as staff at child consultation centers.

[0044] The generative model DB 142 manages generative models as LLMs used when the data generation process is performed by the data generation unit 113. The generative models are models that have undergone a certain level of learning so that the process according to this embodiment can be executed. Furthermore, learning processes may be performed periodically.

[0045] The prompt DB 143 manages prompt data for configuring prompts used when the data generation unit 113 performs data generation processing. Prompts correspond to commands or instructions used as input to a generative model, and are used differently depending on the content to be output. For example, a prompt format that assumes output data, which will be described later, may be predefined as prompt data. The prompt data registered in the prompt DB 143 may be configured so that it can be input directly to a generative model, or may be adjusted or selected based on instructions from a user.

[0046] The RAG DB 144 is configured as a knowledge DB and manages information that is the source of the RAG data input to the generative model. The RAG DB 144 may be configured to include, for example, the following data. Note that the following configurations and names are examples, and only some of the data may be included, or more data may be included.

[0047] (1) Case database Case records of children who are the target of support at actual child consultation centers are managed. These records may include a wide range of information required for generating reports, such as characteristics of parents, characteristics of children (including psychological test results), home environment, utilization of social resources, and past intervention history.

[0048] (2) Evidence database Information extracted and structured from a wide range of academic papers, specialist books, statistical data, and case studies on risk factors and protective factors for child abuse, the impact of abuse on children and families, the effectiveness and application conditions of various intervention methods, characteristics of perpetrators, child development indicators, knowledge regarding the interpretation of various psychological tests, relevant laws and regulations, ethical guidelines, etc., as well as information specific to the region (local information) including administrative manuals and guidelines from various government agencies and regions, and response manuals.

The external IF 260 is an interface for connecting to various devices, and may be, for example, a connection interface with an imaging unit (not shown) for capturing images, sensors for acquiring predetermined information, etc.

[0057] [Data flow] 4 is a schematic diagram for explaining the flow of data in the business support system 1 according to this embodiment. The flow here is implemented in the server device 100, and is shown focusing on parts related to this embodiment. Therefore, the data flow is not limited to this, and further data flows (such as data input by a user) may be added as necessary.

[0058] A supporter such as a staff member of a child consultation center specifies information about the support recipient and information about the current situation (user-specified data 401). The user-specified data 401 may be pre-registered as business data, or may be input individually by the supporter.

[0059] The system prepares knowledge data and prompts based on user-specified data 401. The knowledge data is collected from a knowledge DB using RAG technology from already registered information and prepared as RAG data (knowledge data 402). Furthermore, a prompt to be used is set and selected from a plurality of predefined prompts (prompt 403). The knowledge data 402 may be referenced from the knowledge DB according to the contents of the predefined prompt 403.

[0060] Then, by inputting user-specified data 401, knowledge data 402, and prompt 403 into the generative model 404, generated data 405 is output. In this embodiment, the generated data 405 is information on the analysis of individual cases of child abuse and the basis for the analysis.

[0061] [Example of input / output data] 5A to 5C show examples of input and output data according to this embodiment. In FIG. 5A, input data 500 is a specific example of case information included in user-specified data 401. Here, specific information about abuse and information about the family of the support recipient are shown as examples. The input data 500 may be acquired, for example, by a supporter user inputting character string information via the user terminal 200. The input data 500 is input to the generative model 404. At this time, knowledge data 402 and prompts 403 are selected based on further user-specified data 401 specified by the user, and are input to the generative model 404 together with the input data 500.

[0062] In this example, the following information items may be included as specific information items to be input as input data 500. Note that each information item is not a required input item, and the user may input any item (for example, an item that has already been investigated).

On-site response process and legal risk management: What should be done in the initial response and investigation (major actions such as safety confirmation, safety measures, information gathering, and legal action considerations), legal risks and countermeasures (major expected lawsuits, and avoidance / mitigation measures) 5. Prospects for conclusion, further investigation, and future specific response policy: Prospects for completion (intervention, status of follow-up regarding abuse risks, status of cooperation with related organizations), additional investigation items (each item's "purpose," "specific means," and "basis of necessity"), specific future response policy steps (each step's "content and procedure" and its legal basis, roles and cooperation policies of related organizations, follow-up)

[0066] Fig. 5B shows output data 510 illustrating specific examples of each item in output data 501 in Fig. 5A. Fig. 5C shows an example of report data 520 that is output based on input data 500 shown in Fig. 5A and output data 510 shown in Fig. 5C. Report data 520 may be configured as a report that includes analysis results and the grounds for the results based on case information and a knowledge database.

[0067] [Example of analysis processing configuration] In this embodiment, the analysis process is defined using a prompt for the generation AI. Note that part of the analysis process may be defined and implemented as a process separate from the generation AI. In order to obtain the items shown in the output data 501 in FIG. 5A, the analysis process according to this embodiment may be defined using a prompt or the like in the following configuration. It may also be configured as part of the process for generating RAG data. Note that the following processing steps are only an example, and some or all of them may be omitted, or additional processing steps may be included.

[0068] (Abuse Risk Assessment) Extract information related to parental factors, child factors, environmental factors, support factors, and protective factors from the case information of the person being supported, and compare it with risk factors and protective factors in the evidence database. -Evaluate the contribution of each factor and determine the abuse risk (recurrence risk) level (e.g., category or number) as an individual and overall assessment. - As the basis for the assessment, the identified risk and protective factors are presented in relation to specific descriptions in the case information.

[0069] (Proposed response policy) Generate an outline of an intervention plan based on the results of the abuse risk assessment module, identified risk factors, and child safety needs. Propose response policies such as measures to ensure children's safety (whether temporary protection is necessary, specific plans for in-home support, etc.), direct care and support for children (specialized evaluation and treatment considerations, developmental support, support for building safe relationships, etc.), intervention and support for parents (specific follow-up proposals in response to risk factors), and measures to strengthen collaboration with related organizations, by referring to recommended intervention methods and collaboration models in the evidence database.

[0070] (Child Impact Assessment) -Analyze the child's specific words and actions, emotional state, behavioral characteristics, developmental status, and psychological test results in the case information. · Refer to the evidence database (particularly knowledge from psychiatry, psychology, and behavioral science) to identify psychological influences that are highly likely to be suggested by the observed behaviors. Psychological influences may be, for example, traumatic reactions, attachment problems, difficulty regulating emotions, etc. These may also be presented together with academic variables. Furthermore, describe the identified psychological influences in relation to specific behaviors of the child that support them.

[0071] (Evaluation of expected completion) Conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current case situation, identified risk and protective factors, responsiveness to intervention, and available social resources. This paper presents factors that make termination difficult, positive factors for termination, specific goals and conditions for reaching termination, and the current time horizon, while also referring to findings on prognosis prediction in the evidence database.

[0072] (Proposal for additional research items) Based on the results of the analysis so far, we will identify areas where information is lacking or where further detailed assessment is necessary in order to improve the accuracy of risk assessment and individually optimize support plans. For each survey item, present its purpose, examples of specific survey and assessment methods, and the reasons for its necessity.

[0073] (Preparation of psychological diagnostic findings) Conduct a detailed analysis of the specific words and actions, emotional state, behavioral characteristics, and developmental status of the child in the case information, as well as the results of psychological tests of the child obtained from the case database. By referring to the evidence database and psychological assessment tool information database, the psychological state, developmental challenges, and impact of abuse that are highly likely to be suggested by observed behaviors and test results are identified. Examples of impacts include developmental characteristics, personality traits, trauma responses, attachment issues, emotional regulation difficulties, cognitive distortions, and biases in intellectual functioning. These may also be presented together with academic variables. Furthermore, the identified content is organized in relation to the specific behaviors and test indicators that serve as the basis for the identified content, and described as a "summary of psychological findings," which is important when child welfare officers collaborate with psychological diagnostic experts (such as psychological assessors) or when formulating care plans. For example, this corresponds to the section regarding the impact on children in item 3 of output data 501.

[0074] [Processing flow] 6 is a flowchart showing the overall processing flow for the business according to this embodiment. This processing flow is realized, for example, by the control unit 110 of the server device 100 reading and executing programs and various data stored in the storage unit 140. Here, for simplicity of explanation, the processing entity will be described as the server device 100.

[0075] Before this processing flow starts, various information is registered and configured to be referable in each DB of the server device 100. In addition, the server device 100 is in a state where various information managed in each DB can be added, edited, and deleted.

[0076] In step S601, the server device 100 accepts input of case information related to child abuse from the user. The case information here includes information about the support recipient, such as personal information, and information about the support recipient's current situation. The case information may be used based on the information entered by the user, with reference to information recorded in the business data DB 141, etc. Also, the server device 100 may accept selection of desired analysis content for each item included in the output data 501 of FIG. 5A.

[0077] In step S602, the server device 100 collects knowledge data based on the case information and constructs RAG data. Note that the construction of RAG data based on the knowledge database may be performed at any timing during processing. For example, new RAG data may be constructed by referring to the knowledge database during processing by the generation AI.

[0078] In step S603, the server device 100 determines prompts to be used as inputs to the generative model based on the case information. The prompts may be adjusted using the RAG data configured in step S602.

[0079] In step S604, the server device 100 inputs the various data obtained in the processes of steps S601 to S603 into the generative model to generate information about the analysis content and its basis. The information input here may be adjusted based on the case information received in step S601.

[0080] In step S605, server device 100 outputs the generated data generated in step S604. For example, output data 510 in FIG. 5B may be displayed. Alternatively, server device 100 may perform control so that the generated data is stored in a predetermined storage unit.

[0081] In step S606, the server device 100 determines whether or not it is necessary to output the generated data in a form. For example, an output instruction may be received from the user via a UI screen (not shown), or an instruction to output a form may be received in step S601. If it is determined that output in form is to be performed (step S606: YES), the processing of the server device 100 proceeds to step S607. On the other hand, if it is determined that output in form is not to be performed (step S606: NO), this processing flow ends.

[0082] In step S607, server device 100 generates form data using the generated data generated in step S604 and the form format stored in form format DB 145. The form format used here may be specified by a user or may be selected depending on the configuration of the generated data generated in step S604.

[0083] In step S608, the server device 100 outputs the form data generated in step S607. The output here may be displayed on the screen, stored in a predetermined storage area, or printed out. Then, this processing flow ends.

[0084] As described above, this embodiment makes it possible to improve the work efficiency and quality of supporters who provide support services. In particular, supporters can present a situation analysis of child abuse and the information that supports it. Furthermore, these can be output as a report in a specified format. Furthermore, for example, child welfare officers can gain multifaceted and deep insights into individual cases, and efficiently obtain organized, evidence-based information that is essential for improving the quality of judgment, standardizing and streamlining work, facilitating information sharing within teams, and providing effective support.

[0085] Second Embodiment In a second embodiment of the present invention, support for child abuse will be described as an example of child support services provided by administrative agencies, etc. In particular, for each case of child abuse, psychological analysis of the child and organization and presentation of information that serves as the basis for that analysis are envisioned.

[0086] More specifically, in cases of child abuse, it is extremely important to accurately grasp the impact on the child and determine appropriate psychological care and treatment policies. Psychological assessors (child psychologists) must comprehensively evaluate a wide range of information, including interview records, investigation records, and psychological test results, which requires a high level of expertise and a significant amount of time. Objectivity in judgment, clarification of the basis, and reflection of the latest academic findings are also constantly required. Currently, comprehensive functionality that efficiently integrates this information and supports the creation of structured, high-quality psychological diagnostic findings reports is lacking. Therefore, this embodiment provides a work support function that reduces the workload of the above-mentioned tasks and enables more appropriate support to be provided to support recipients.

[0087] In the following description of this embodiment, the description of the same or similar parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and the description will focus on the parts unique to this embodiment. The system configuration and processing flow may be the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0088] [Knowledge Database] As in the first embodiment, the RAG DB 144 is configured as a knowledge DB. The knowledge DB according to this embodiment may have a configuration that includes, for example, the following data. Note that the configuration and names below are examples, and only a portion of the data may be included, or more data may be included.

[0089] (1) Evidence database This information is extracted from academic papers, specialist books, diagnostic criteria (e.g., DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), ICD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems)), treatment guidelines, etc. related to "general crime, abuse perpetration, abuse victims, effects of abuse, psychiatry, psychology, and behavioral science," and structurally or semantically associates specific abuse situations, child characteristics, and behavioral patterns with their associated psychological impacts (e.g., trauma reactions, attachment problems, difficulty regulating emotions, cognitive distortions), impact on development, prognostic predictors, effective intervention methods (psychotherapy, parent training, etc.), and support approaches. (2) Psychological test information database Overview of various psychological tests (e.g., intelligence tests such as the WISC (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children), personality tests such as the PF Study, other developmental tests, and trauma-related tests such as the TSCC (Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children)), administration and scoring methods, standard interpretation guidelines, age-specific normative values, interpretation of clinically significant deviations and patterns, and information on the psychological characteristics and difficulties suggested by each indicator.

[0090] [Example of input / output data] 7A to 7D show examples of input / output data according to this embodiment. In FIG. 7A, input data 700 is a specific example of case information included in user-specified data 401. Here, information about an abused child who is a support recipient is shown as an example. The input data 700 may be acquired, for example, by a user who is a supporter inputting character string information via the user terminal 200. The input data 700 is input to the generative model 404. At this time, knowledge data 402 and a prompt 403 are selected based on further user-specified data 401 specified by the user, and are input to the generative model 404 together with the input data 700.

[0091] In this example, the following information items may be included as specific information items about abused children that are input as input data 700. Note that each information item is not a required input item, and the user may input any item (for example, an item that has already been investigated).

[0095] 7B shows input data 710 showing specific examples of each item in the input data 700 in FIG. 7A. In this example, only some of the items shown in the input data 700 in FIG. 7A are shown. The item numbers are just an example and may be arbitrarily adjusted.

[0096] Fig. 7C shows output data 720 showing specific examples of each item of output data 701 in Fig. 7A. Output data 720 shows specific examples of psychological diagnostic findings output based on input data 710 shown in Fig. 7B and the knowledge database. Fig. 7D shows an example of form data 730 output based on input data 710 shown in Fig. 7B and output data 720 shown in Fig. 7C. Form data 730 may be configured as a report including psychological diagnostic results and their grounds based on case information and the knowledge database.

[0097] [Example of psychological diagnosis processing configuration] In this embodiment, the psychological diagnosis process is defined using prompts for the generation AI. Note that part of the psychological diagnosis process may be defined and implemented as a process separate from the generation AI. In order to obtain the items shown in the output data 701 of FIG. 7A, the psychological diagnosis process according to this embodiment may be defined using prompts or the like in the following configuration. It may also be configured as part of the process for generating RAG data. Note that the following processing steps are only an example, and some or all of them may be omitted, or additional processing steps may be included.

[0098] (Input data integration and interpretation) -Integrates data items related to the entered case information, psychological test results, and information on the condition of the child who is the target of support. Each piece of information may be extracted from the information registered in each database as specified by the user (for example, interview and survey records). The psychological test results are compared with standard data by referring to the psychological test information database, and initial interpretation information is generated by extracting indicators with significant differences and characteristic profile patterns. The results of this processing may be used as basic information for the output item "2. Findings of psychological test results" included in the output data 701, for example.

[0099] (state image and behavioral characteristics analysis) The information processed through input data integration and interpretation, especially each item of information about the child's condition (upbringing history, abuse situation, interpersonal relationships, learning situation, emotional state, behavioral characteristics, adaptive and maladaptive behavior) and specific episodes in the interview records are analyzed in detail. -Referring to the evidence database, the specific behaviors observed (e.g., unguarded approaches, unempathetic responses, harm to others, self-harm, avoidance of specific stimuli, etc.) are classified and organized from a psychological and behavioral science perspective, and the psychological and cognitive characteristics that may be behind them are estimated. The results of this processing may be used as basic information for the output items "3. Behavioral characteristics of children" and "4. Psychological and cognitive characteristics of children" included in the output data 701, for example.

[0100] (Mechanisms of Maladaptive Behavior and Causal Inference) - For behaviors identified as "maladaptive behaviors" shown in the information on the child's condition, information on the "abuse situation," "upbringing history," "emotional state," "psychological and cognitive characteristics," and interpretation information on psychological test results will be integrated. By comparing findings from the evidence database on the effects of abuse, developmental psychology, attachment theory, behavioral theory, and the like, the mechanisms by which the maladaptive behavior is acquired and maintained, as well as its underlying causes, are inferred and described from multiple perspectives. This may serve as basic information for output item "5. Mechanisms and causes of maladaptive behavior" included in output data 701, for example. Examples of the mechanisms inferred include inappropriate learning from caregivers, acting out as a traumatic response, immature communication skills, and cognitive distortions. Furthermore, examples of the underlying causes inferred include the prevention of stable attachment formation, lack of empathic interaction, and repression due to fear.

[0101] (Abuse impact assessment and prognosis prediction) -Integrate research findings on the type, duration, frequency, and severity of abuse (based on information on the child's state profile), the child's developmental stage, current psychological and behavioral characteristics (results of the state profile and behavioral characteristics analysis), psychological test findings, and the effects of abuse in the evidence database. Identify and list multiple specific effects of the abuse that are currently occurring. Specific effects of the abuse may include, for example, specific traumatic symptoms, distorted interpersonal patterns, difficulty regulating emotions, and distorted self-perception. - Predict, based on evidence, the potential impacts of not implementing appropriate interventions in the future, such as chronic mental illness, delinquency, poor academic performance, and social isolation. The above various information is integrated to generate the output item “6. Impact and prognosis of abuse” included in the output data 701.

[0102] (Strength Identification) From case information, information on the child's condition (especially "adaptive behavior"), and psychological test results, the child's own positive aspects, abilities, interests, and ability to cope with difficult situations (resilience factors) as well as protective factors in the family and surrounding environment are extracted, identified, and listed. Protective factors here may include, for example, supportive relatives, school teachers, and the child's own intellectual curiosity. The results of this processing may be used as basic information for output item "7. Strengths" included in output data 701, for example.

[0103] (Care plan and treatment plan generation) Comprehensively organize the effects of abuse, mechanisms of maladaptive behavior, prognosis, and strengths assessed and identified through each of the above processes. · Reference information on effective or suitable psychological treatments, support programs, and environmental adjustment strategies in evidence databases. Psychological value therapies include, for example, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and attachment repair programs. Support programs include, for example, parent training and SST (Social Skills Training). - Taking into consideration the child's age, developmental stage, personality characteristics, trauma status, available resources, family situation, etc., the system presents or prioritizes the most effective and feasible specific care plans. The care plans presented here may include, for example, the goals, type, frequency, and policy of psychological treatment, suggestions for environmental adjustments, and collaboration measures with related organizations. The results of this processing may be used as the basic information for output item "8. Care Plan" included in the output data 701, for example. All analysis results are combined to compile a comprehensive conclusion for the case and specific treatment proposals. Proposals here may include, for example, continuing home guidance and introducing specialized psychotherapy, providing intensive care under temporary custody, or providing psychological support in conjunction with foster care placement. The results of this processing may be used as the basic information for the output item "9. Conclusions and Treatment Proposals" included in the output data 701.

[0104] (Provide evidence) For each item of the psychological diagnostic findings generated by each of the above processes, the main grounds for the judgment, evaluation, inference, or proposal are output in clear association with the relevant part of the input case information, specific items of the child's condition, findings from the referenced evidence database (e.g., specific research results or theories), specific indicators of the psychological test results, etc.

[0105] As described above, this embodiment makes it possible to improve the work efficiency and quality of supporters who provide support services. In particular, supporters can present a psychological analysis of a child affected by child abuse and the information that supports it. Furthermore, supporters, such as professionals at child consultation centers, can efficiently organize and analyze complex information and quickly create evidence-based, objective, and high-quality psychological diagnostic findings. As a result, it is expected that this will contribute to the determination of appropriate support and treatment policies that contribute to the best interests of children.

[0106] Third Embodiment In a third embodiment, which is one embodiment of the present invention, support for child abuse will be described as an example of child support services provided by administrative agencies, etc. In particular, for each case of child abuse, analysis of litigation and organization and presentation of information that serves as the basis for that analysis are envisioned.

[0107] More specifically, in cases where child abuse is suspected, child consultation center staff (e.g., child welfare officers) must prioritize ensuring the safety of the child while quickly taking appropriate legal action. This includes accurately identifying the abuse situation, understanding relevant laws and regulations, assessing potential legal risks, planning specific response procedures, and collaborating with relevant organizations. However, these tasks are highly specialized and complex, requiring significant time and effort. In particular, they must consider the risk of lawsuits from parents, make decisions based on objective evidence, and properly record the process. However, it is not easy for on-site staff to consistently and comprehensively and efficiently organize and analyze this information and formulate practical response plans. Therefore, this embodiment provides a work support function that reduces the workload of the above-mentioned tasks and enables more appropriate support to be provided to support recipients.

[0108] In the following description of this embodiment, the description of the same or similar parts as those in the first embodiment will be omitted, and the description will focus on the parts unique to this embodiment. The system configuration and processing flow may be the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0109] [Knowledge Database] As in the first embodiment, the RAG DB 144 is configured as a knowledge DB.

Note that the configuration and names below are examples, and only a portion of the data may be included, or more data may be included.

[0110] (1) Legal and Guidance Database: Provisions of relevant laws and regulations related to child welfare, such as the Child Welfare Act, Child Abuse Prevention Act, Criminal Code, Civil Code, Administrative Litigation Act, and State Compensation Act, as well as related administrative manuals, guidelines for responding to sexual abuse at child consultation centers, other child abuse-related guidelines, child abuse response guides, child consultation center operating guidelines, and various notifications related to child abuse. (2) Database of legal precedents and past cases Past court cases related to child abuse (especially those in which the intervention of child consultation centers was contested), and past cases of responses accumulated within child consultation centers (summary of the case, issues at stake, content of intervention, intervention methods, results, legal issues, etc.). (3) Abuse Risk and Impact Database Evidence based on academic papers and specialist books on risk factors and protective factors for various types of abuse, as well as the psychological, physical and developmental impact on children. (4) Intervention and collaboration method database Information on effective intervention strategies (motivational interviewing, parent training, etc.), how to collaborate with relevant organizations, and various social resources.

[0111] [Example of input / output data] Examples of input and output data according to this embodiment are shown below. The input data according to this embodiment may include the following information items. ·Case summary ·Investigation records, etc. Specific text information and structured data related to the case, such as the contents of the notification, the contents of the assessment sheet, records of interviews with the relevant parties (child, guardian, notifier, school officials, etc.), records of observations of the child's behavior, psychological test results (if any), and records of information provided by relevant institutions. ·Perpetrator information Detailed information about the parent or cohabitant alleged to have committed the abuse (basic information, life history, work history, mental state, awareness of the abuse, attitude during interviews, past history of consultations and interventions, risk factors such as violence and addiction, etc.).

[0112] The output data according to this embodiment may include the following items: 1.Assessment of the abusive situation 2. Specific steps in on-site response and legal risks 3. Future response policy, including additional investigation

[0113] A practical response report based on legal grounds, including the above items and taking into consideration litigation responses, may be output as a report.

[0114] [Example of analysis processing configuration] In this embodiment, the analysis process is defined using a prompt for the generation AI. Note that part of the analysis process may be defined and implemented as a process separate from the generation AI. To achieve the above items, the analysis process according to this embodiment may be defined using prompts or the like in the following configuration. Note that the following processing steps are only an example, and some or all of them may be omitted, or additional processing steps may be included.

[0115] (Input information analysis) From the various information entered, the system extracts and analyzes the key information required to generate a report, such as the circumstances of the abuse, characteristics of those involved, risk factors, strength factors, etc. Each piece of information may be extracted from the information registered in each database as specified by the user.

[0116] (Abuse Situation Assessment) Based on the analyzed information and knowledge database, the type, frequency, severity, and special notes (such as disclosure status of abuse) of abuse are evaluated, the underlying recorded facts are identified, and the above information item "1. Evaluation of the abuse situation" is generated.

[0117] (On-site response flow and legal risk analysis) Based on the analyzed information and knowledge base, specific initial response procedures for each case after a report is received, specific investigation content and points to note, and items to consider when formulating an assistance plan are proposed. Specific initial response procedures may include, for example, confirming the child's safety, face-to-face meetings, after-hours and holiday response, on-site investigations, and determining whether temporary protection is necessary, as well as the requirements and procedures. Specific investigation content may include, for example, understanding the child's physical and psychological condition, understanding their living environment and family relationships, promptness, explaining and interviewing the parents, and collecting evidence. Items to consider when formulating an assistance plan may include, for example, the perspective of a comprehensive diagnosis, the content of the assistance policy, and items to be confirmed at individual case review meetings. Analyze and present the legal measures and their rationale that may be envisaged in proceeding with the above measures, as well as the related legal risks (such as lawsuits against parents for revocation, lawsuits seeking compensation from the state, etc.) and how to avoid or mitigate them, and generate the information item above, "2. Specific steps and legal risks in on-site responses."

[0118] (Future response policy and additional investigation proposals) Based on the analyzed information, the results of the abuse situation assessment and on-site response flow, the legal risk analysis, and the knowledge database, specific future response steps will be proposed that take into consideration the safety and best interests of the child. Specific future response steps could include, for example, the content and procedures of each step, the legal basis, the division of roles and specific collaboration methods of related organizations, matters to be considered, confirmation of the child's wishes, explanations to and consensus building with parents, and key points for recording. Identify matters that are difficult to judge based on current information alone, and additional research items that are considered essential for more appropriate policy decisions, and clearly state the "purpose of the research," "specific methods," and "reason for necessity" for each item. -Integrate each piece of information and generate the information item above, "3. Future response policy, including additional investigation."

[0119] As described above, this embodiment makes it possible to improve the work efficiency and quality of supporters who provide support services. In particular, supporters such as child consultation center staff can quickly plan and implement more specific and legally appropriate response policies that are objectively based on the results of AI's integration and analysis of complex case information and expert knowledge. As a result, it is expected to contribute to improving the quality of work, standardizing judgment, strengthening risk management, and protecting the best interests of children.
