[0022] 1.1. System configuration of information processing system 1 First, the system configuration of an information processing system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of the system configuration of the information processing system 1. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes a server device 2, a client device 3, and an external server device ESD. The server device 2 is configured to be able to communicate with the client device 3 and the external server device ESD via a network. This allows the server device 2, the client device 3, and the external server device ESD to transmit and receive various information to and from each other. Note that the server device 2, the client device 3, and the external server device ESD are examples of information processing devices and are not limited to the present embodiment. The client device 3 may be any of a PC (Personal Computer), a tablet computer, a smartphone, etc. Note that there are at least one server device 2, one client device 3, and one external server device ESD. Here, a system exemplified as the information processing system 1 is composed of one or more devices or components. Therefore, even a single server device 2, a single client device 3, or a single external server device ESD is included in the system exemplified as the information processing system 1.

[0023] 1.2. Hardware configuration of server device 2 1, the server device 2 includes a processor 21, a storage unit 22, and a communication unit 23, and these components are electrically connected via a communication bus inside the server device 2. The server device 2, for example, acquires information from an external server device ESD and causes the client device 3 to display the information.

[0024] The processor 21 processes and controls the overall operations related to the server device 2. The processor 21 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU). The processor 21 reads out a predetermined program stored in the storage unit 22 and executes processing based on the program, thereby realizing various functions related to the server device 2, for example, the processing shown in FIG. 3 described later. The processor 21 is not limited to being a single processor, and may be implemented with multiple processors 21 for each function. Alternatively, a combination of these may be used.

[0025] The storage unit 22 stores various pieces of information defined above. This can be implemented, for example, as a storage device such as a solid state drive (SSD) that stores various programs related to the server device 2 executed by the processor 21, or as a memory such as a random access memory (RAM) that stores temporarily required information (arguments, arrays, etc.) related to program operations. The storage unit 22 stores various programs related to the server device 2 executed by the processor 21, variables, and data used when the processor 21 executes processing based on the programs. The storage unit 22 is an example of a storage medium.

[0026] The communication unit 23 is preferably a wired communication means such as USB, IEEE1394, Thunderbolt (registered trademark), wired LAN network communication, etc., but may also include wireless LAN network communication, mobile communication such as LTE / 3G / 4G / 5G, BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) communication, etc. as necessary. In other words, it is more preferable to implement it as a collection of multiple communication means. In other words, the server device 2 may communicate various information from the outside via the communication unit 23.

[0027] 1.3. Hardware Configuration of Client Device 3 1, the client device 3 has a processor 31, a storage unit 32, a communication unit 33, an input unit 34, and an output unit 35, and these components are electrically connected via a communication bus inside the client device 3.

For the processor 31, the storage unit 32, and the communication unit 33 of the client device 3, please refer to the processor 21, the storage unit 22, and the communication unit 23 of the server device 2. The client device 3 is operated by a user.

[0028] The input unit 34 may be included in the housing of the client device 3 or may be externally attached. For example, the input unit 34 may be implemented as a touch panel integrated with the output unit 35. A touch panel allows a user to input tapping, swiping, and the like. Of course, a switch button, a mouse, a QWERTY keyboard, or the like may be used instead of a touch panel. That is, the input unit 34 accepts an input based on an operation performed by the user. The input is transferred as a command signal to the processor 31 via a communication bus, and the processor 31 can execute predetermined control or calculation as necessary.

[0029] The output unit 35 can function as a display unit of the client device 3. The output unit 35 may be included in the housing of the client device 3 or may be externally attached. The output unit 35 displays a graphical user interface (GUI) screen that can be operated by the user. This is preferably implemented by selectively using display devices such as a CRT display, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and a plasma display depending on the type of client device 3.

[0030] 1.4. Hardware configuration of external server device ESD The external server device ESD includes a processor, a storage unit, and a communication unit. The components of the external server device ESD are electrically connected to each other via a communication bus within the external server device ESD. The external server device ESD executes the processing according to the embodiment. For the processor, storage unit, and communication unit of the external server device ESD, please refer to the processor 21, storage unit 22, and communication unit 23 of the server device 2. The external server device ESD is a server for providing services such as an e-commerce site, an auction site, and SNS.

[0031] 2. Functional configuration of information processing system 1 In this section, the functional configuration of the processor 21 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is an example of a block diagram showing functions implemented by the processor 21 of the server device 2. The processor 21 of the server device 2, which is an example of the information processing system 1, includes an acquisition control unit 210, a transmission control unit 211, an output control unit 212, a display control unit 213, and a deletion request unit 214. As described above, information processing by software stored in the storage unit 22 is specifically realized by the processor 21, which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the processor 21. The processor 21 may execute an acquisition control step, a transmission control step, an output control step, a display control step, and a deletion request step.

[0032] The acquisition control unit 210 is configured to accept, receive, or acquire various types of information.

[0033] The transmission control unit 211 is configured to transmit various information to other terminals or systems via the communication unit 23 and the network.

[0034] The output control unit 212 is configured to execute processing for outputting information.

[0035] The display control unit 213 is configured to control screen data to be displayed on the output unit 35 of the client device 3. Note that the screen data may be visual information itself, such as a screen, an image, an icon, or text, generated in a manner that is visible to the user, or may be rendering information for displaying visual information, such as a screen, an image, an icon, or text, on various terminals.

[0036] The deletion request unit 214 is configured to execute a control for requesting the suspension of listing on the website.

[0037] The acquisition control unit 210, the transmission control unit 211, the output control unit 212, the display control unit 213, and the deletion request unit 214 will be described in detail below.

[0038] 3.1. Overview of Operation of Information Processing System 1 Next, an example of information processing executed by the information processing system 1 of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an activity diagram according to this embodiment.

[0039] In the following, the information processing related to the display of the infringement diagram (activities A1 to A11) and the information processing related to the deletion request (activities A12 to A18) are described as being performed as a series of information processing, but each information processing may be performed independently, or any of the information processing may be executed repeatedly. Note that the activities may include any exception processing not shown. Exception processing includes the interruption of the information processing or the omission of each processing.

[0040] In this specification, various information transmitted and received via communication unit 23 or communication unit 33 may be stored in storage unit 22 or storage unit 32. In this case, it is assumed that the information is stored in a storage unit within the device having the communication unit used. For example, when communication unit 23 is used, the transmitted and received information is assumed to be stored in storage unit 22.

[0041] In activity A1, the processor 31 accepts input of operation information via a user's operation on the input unit 34. The operation information is information about an operation for acquiring intellectual property right information, and may include, for example, information about the start of scraping, intellectual property right information (infringement information or application information, described later) directly input by the user, etc. The screens displayed may include the screens shown in FIGS. 4 and 5.

[0042] In activity A2, the processor 31 transmits operation information to the server device 2 via the communication unit 33. In activity A3, the acquisition control unit 210 receives operation information from the client device 3 via the communication unit 23. If the operation information is application information received as direct input from the user, the acquisition control unit 210 may further acquire application information.

[0043] In activity A4, the transmission control unit 211 transmits an instruction to acquire product information to the external server device ESD based on the operation information. The instruction to acquire product information includes a source request. This source request may be information requesting a source that can be analyzed by scraping, such as an HTTP request.

[0044] In activity A5, the processor of the external server device ESD receives an instruction to acquire product information via the communication unit. In activity A6, the processor of the external server device ESD transmits the product information to the server device 2 via the communication unit.

[0045] In activity A7, the acquisition control unit 210 receives product information from the client device 3 via the communication unit 23. The product information is information about products listed on a website. The acquisition control unit 210 scrapes the product information listed on the website and analyzes the product information to acquire infringement information. Scraping is the acquisition of product information from a scraping target screen 6, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 6, based on a preset algorithm. Scraping includes web scraping, which analyzes HTML, XML, etc.

[0046] In activity A8, the output control unit 212 outputs information for estimating whether a product infringes intellectual property rights in response to inputting product information into the trained model. The acquisition control unit 210 acquires the infringement information output from the trained model. If scraping is not performed, activities A4 to A8 are omitted. This makes it possible to estimate whether a product listed on a website infringes intellectual property rights.

[0047] In activity A9, the acquisition control unit 210 acquires an infringement drawing based on the infringement information. The display control unit 213 generates image data that allows multiple infringement drawings to be displayed at a glance. The infringement drawing is a drawing generated based on intellectual property right information such as infringement information. The display control unit 213 may also generate image data that allows multiple infringement drawings and application drawings to be displayed at a glance. The application drawing is a drawing generated based on the application information. The infringement drawing and application drawing will be described later. This allows the user to make decisions while viewing the application drawing and multiple infringement drawings.

[0048] "Viewable" refers to a state in which all of the information to be displayed is displayed on the output unit 35 at the same time.

[0049] In activity A10, the transmission control unit 211 transmits the screen data to the client device 3. In activity A11, processor 31 receives screen data from server device 2. Processor 31 causes output unit 35 to display the screens shown in Figs. 9 to 11, etc., based on the screen data.

[0050] In activity A12, processor 31 accepts input of removal request information via input unit 34. The removal request information is information for requesting the EC site to stop listing infringing products. A screen for accepting input of removal request information is not shown in this specification, but an object that allows such input may be arranged, for example, in FIGS. 7 and 8.

[0051] In activity A13, the processor 31 transmits the deletion request information to the server device 2 via the communication unit 33. In activity A14, the acquisition control unit 210 receives the deletion request information from the client device 3 via the communication unit 23.

[0052] In activity A15, the deletion request unit 214 causes the output control unit 212 to execute a request to the website to stop listing of an infringing product that is estimated to infringe intellectual property rights in response to receiving an instruction from the user. That is, the transmission control unit 211 transmits deletion request information to the external server device ESD. According to this aspect, a request to stop listing of a product that is estimated to infringe intellectual property rights by the trained model can be made by receiving an operation from the user.

[0053] In activity A16, the processor of the external server device ESD receives removal request information from the server device 2. When the processor of the external server device ESD receives the removal request information and determines that the product is an infringing product, it executes information processing to stop the listing of the infringing product (this information processing may be performed automatically or may be executed in response to an instruction from a user who manages the EC site).

[0054] In activity A17, the processor of the external server device ESD transmits to the server device 2 a notice that the deletion request information has been accepted. In activity A18, the acquisition control unit 210 receives from the external server device ESD a notification that the deletion request information has been received.

[0055] 3.2. Details of the operation of the information processing system 1 Next, with reference to Figures 4 to 11, we will explain the details of the screens and information processing that were omitted in the activity diagram shown in Figure 3. In addition, although the following description will be given assuming that the website used for scraping is an e-commerce site, it may be applied to any website.

[0056] First, scraping settings will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 5. For example, the screens shown in FIGS. 4 to 5 may be screens operated by a user in activity A1. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a scraping list screen 4. The scraping list screen 4 is a screen for listing the scraping conditions that have been set. The scraping list screen 4 may include at least one of a narrowing-down area 40, a list area 41, and an add button 42.

[0057] The narrowing area 40 may be configured to allow input of conditions (scraping start date, end date, keywords, etc.) for narrowing down the set scrapings to scrapings with specific settings.

[0058] The list area 41 may be an area where scraping settings can be listed. The list area 41 may display information indicating whether scraping is before, during, or after scraping. The list area 41 may display information set on the scraping setting screen 5 described below, such as the client name, title name, and data extraction format. The list area 41 may display the number of pieces of information obtained by scraping (e.g., 430 pieces), the date scraping started (June 9, 2023), and the like. The list area 41 may include buttons that allow the user to check details, status, operation, and the like for each scraping setting.

[0059] The add button 42 is a button for setting a new scraping, and may be configured to display the scraping setting screen 5 shown in FIG. 5 in response to pressing the add button 42.

[0060] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a scraping setting screen 5. The scraping setting screen 5 is a screen for accepting scraping settings from a user. The scraping setting screen 5 may include at least one of a start date area 50, a client setting area 51, a title setting area 52, a type setting area 53, an add button 54, and an edit button 55.

[0061] The start date area 50 may be configured to allow the date on which scraping should start to be set, such as "June 19, 2023."

[0062] The client setting area 51 may be configured to allow the name of the client who desires scraping, such as "ABC Watch Co., Ltd.", to be set.

[0063] The title setting area 52 may be configured to allow the name of the scraping settings, such as "abc-amazon," to be set.

[0064] The type setting area 53 may be configured to allow the user to set a method for extracting data by scraping. The data may be extracted by displaying it on a web browser, outputting it in a file format that can be referenced in a spreadsheet format (e.g., xlsx, ods, csv, tsv, txt), or the like.

[0065] The add button 54 may be a button for accepting new input of settings such as the website to be scraped, such as "misisippi.sg," the webpage as the URL to start scraping, the keywords to be scraped, such as "ABC," and the number of products to be scraped.

[0066] The edit button 55 may be a button for editing the settings accepted by operating the add button 54.

[0067] That is, the acquisition control unit 210 acquires information on the website to be scraped and keyword settings for searching for products through operations on the scraping setting screen 5 shown in Fig. 5 by the user of the client device 3. The acquisition control unit 210 acquires product information by executing scraping based on the settings of the website, keywords, etc. In this way, by scraping the website, it is possible to estimate whether products listed on the website infringe intellectual property rights.

[0068] Next, scraping and the trained model will be described with reference to FIG. 6. The scraping target screen 6 shown in FIG. 6 may be an example of a screen to be scraped in activities A6 to A7. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the scraping target screen 6. The scraping target screen 6 is a screen to be scraped. The acquisition control unit 210 acquires text data obtainable from the scraping target screen 6 as an e-commerce site as product information. The text data may vary depending on the service, such as an e-commerce site, used. The scraping target screen 6 may include at least one of the following text data: listing URL information 600, site name information 601, keyword information 602, image URL information 603, listing title information 604, sales unit information 605, inventory information 606, sales quantity information 607, price information 608, currency information 609, seller name information 610, region information 611, and brand name information 612. This text data may also include product brand information. The information 600 to 612 relating to products that are suspected or determined to infringe intellectual property rights may be managed as infringement information. For example, regional information 611 relating to products that are suspected or determined to infringe intellectual property rights is managed as the region where a seller who is selling a product that may infringe intellectual property rights is located.

[0069] The exhibition URL information 600 may be information indicating the URL of the product's web page, such as "https: / / www.misisippi.co.jp...".

[0070] The site name information 601 may be information indicating the name of the EC site where the product is sold, such as "misisippi."

[0071] The keyword information 602 may be information indicating the keyword used in the search, such as "ABC watch."

[0072] The image URL information 603 may be information indicating the URL of an image of a product.

[0073] The item title information 604 may be information indicating the title of the item being sold, such as "ABC ABC Watch 50mm Smart Watch...".

[0074] The sales unit information 605 may be information indicating the smallest unit of sales for the product, such as "1".

[0075] The stock quantity information 606 may be information indicating the stock of the product, such as "3".

[0076] The sales number information 607 may be information indicating the number of past purchases of a product, such as "119."

[0077] The price information 608 may be information indicating the numerical value of the price of the product being put up for sale, such as "10000."

[0078] The currency information 609 may be information indicating the currency unit of the price of the product being put up for sale, such as "yen."

[0079] The seller name information 610 may be information indicating the name of the seller of the product, such as "Watch Company."

[0080] The area information 611 may be information indicating the area where the seller who is selling the product is located, such as "Tokyo, Japan."

[0081] The brand name information 612 may be information indicating the brand name of the product, such as "ABC."

[0082] In addition, although not shown in Figure 6, the text data may include at least one of the following: information on a number assigned to each web page (e.g., "3307"), information on the month in which the data was collected (e.g., "August"), information on the number of comments made by purchasers about the product (e.g., "37 comments"), and information on the type of vendor (e.g., "Sales", "Factory", etc.).

[0083] The product information may further include image data that can be obtained from the EC site. The image data may be obtained, for example, from the exhibition URL information 600. Furthermore, the text data used as the product information may include the information shown in FIG. 8.

[0084] The trained model is trained to be able to output information that estimates whether intellectual property rights have been infringed based on the above-mentioned product information. The trained model is generated using any algorithm, such as a neural network or a large-scale language model. For example, the trained model may be trained to be able to output information that estimates whether intellectual property rights have been infringed in response to input of only image data included in the product information, only text data included in the product information, or both image and text data included in the product information. The trained model may be stored in the memory unit 22, or one stored in an external server may be used. This makes it possible to estimate whether a product listed on an e-commerce site infringes intellectual property rights based on product information obtainable from the e-commerce site.

[0085] Next, information processing after scraping will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. For example, the screens shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 may be displayed to the user after activity A8. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a scraping result screen 7. The scraping result screen 7 is a screen on which the results of scraping are displayed. The scraping result screen 7 may include at least one of a narrowing-down area 70 and a list area 71.

[0086] The narrowing area 70 may be configured to allow input of conditions (scraping start date, end date, keywords, etc.) for narrowing down the set scrapings to scrapings with specific settings.

[0087] The list area 71 may be an area where the scraping results and the results of the estimation of whether an intellectual property right is infringed are displayed.
