Apparatus, method, and program for supporting requests for review of contract proposals

Abstract

To support requests for contract review, this system enables business units to accurately communicate their desired contract terms to the legal department when making requests. [Solution] First, the device 100 receives a draft contract and related documents from a first terminal 111 used by the business division (S201). The device 100 then requests the generating AI model to generate a summary of the contract content and pre-items that the business division requests the review of (S202). The platform 120, upon receiving the request, generates the summary of the contract content and the pre-items (S203), and transmits them to the device 100 (S204). The device 100 then transmits them to the first terminal 111 (S205). The first terminal 111 transmits a request for review of the draft contract, including the summary accepted by the user or a summary modified by the user (S206). The device 100 notifies the legal department terminal 130 of the review request (S210).

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus, a method, and a program for assisting in requesting a review of a contract proposal.

Background Art

[0002] In a company, contract work often proceeds with the joint participation of a business department and a legal department. The business department conducts negotiations with the contract partner from a business perspective and reaches an agreement on the major matters of the contract content. Under such an agreement, one of the contracting parties creates a contract draft, and the other party reviews it. The company that receives the contract draft requests the legal department to review the draft.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] However, there are not a few cases where there is a discrepancy between the contract content understood by the business department and the contract content defined in the contract draft. Therefore, the legal department has to spend time hearing from the business department about the contract content desired by the business department. Such hearings also generate additional work for the business department. The same problem arises in the case of a contract (written contract) being created, as well as in the case of a contract (contract) concluded by one company agreeing to the terms of a usage agreement or the like created by the other company.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such points, and its problem is to enable the accurate transmission of the contract content desired by the business department in a request from the business department to the legal department in an apparatus, a method, or a program for assisting in requesting a review of a contract proposal (draft contract).

[0005] Although the explanation has been made from the perspective of the company that received the contract draft among the contracting parties, the same problems exist from the perspective of the company that created the contract draft.

[Figure 5] The figure shows an example of a screen showing the review status according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0029] (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 shows a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The apparatus 100 communicates via an IP network with a first business department terminal 111 and a second business department terminal 112 used by a business department, a legal department terminal 130 used by a legal department, and a platform 120 that provides a generation AI model, and supports a request for review of a contract proposal from the business department to the legal department. In FIG. 1, a generation AI model is provided by the platform 120, but an application for providing a generation AI model may be executed on the apparatus 100. Also, from the perspective of security, the apparatus 100 may communicate with the first business department terminal 111 and the second business department terminal 112 via a closed network using the IP protocol or other protocols. In this case, it is preferable that the platform 120 is also accessible via the closed network, or that a generation AI model is provided on the apparatus 100. The first terminal 111 and the second terminal 112 may be mobile terminals such as smartphones and tablets, for example.

[0030] The device 100 comprises a communication unit 101 such as a communication interface, a processing unit 102 such as a processor or CPU, and a storage unit 103 including a storage device or storage medium such as memory or a hard disk. The device can be configured by executing a program for performing each process or operation in the processing unit 102. The device 100 may include one or more devices, computers, or servers. The program may also include one or more programs and can be recorded on a computer-readable storage medium to form a non-transient program product. The program is stored in the storage unit 103 or in a storage device or storage medium such as a database 104 accessible via an IP network from the device 100, and instructions included in the program can be executed by at least one processor in the processing unit 102. Data described below as being stored in the storage unit 103 may be stored in a storage device or storage medium such as a database 104, and vice versa. The platform 120 can have a similar configuration.

[0031] First, the device 100 receives a draft contract and related documents (hereinafter also referred to as "related documents") from a first terminal 111 used by the business division (S201). The draft contract may be a document in a format such as Word or PDF containing the draft contract. The storage location of such a document may be specified by the first terminal 111, and the device 100 may receive the draft contract by retrieving it from that storage location. The same applies to the related documents. The first terminal 111 may receive input from the client using the first terminal 111 indicating which of the multiple files entered is the draft contract, and may further transmit this input to the device 100.

[0032] Examples of such related documents include, for instance, proposals for contract signing, emails for contract signing, chat history for contract signing, and company information materials of the contracting party. For example, one or more documents to be sent to the device 100 can be specified by dragging and dropping them into the input field 310 shown on screen 300 in Figure 3A. In the example in Figure 3A, it is also possible to enter a comment in the input field 310 and send that comment as a separate document to the device 100.

[0033] After receiving the draft contract and related documents, device 100 requests the generating AI model to generate a summary of the contract content that the business unit will request the legal department to review, and one or more pre-items (S202). These one or more pre-items may be one or more pre-items relating to the received draft contract, the generated contract content, or its summary. More specifically, device 100 creates the instructions to generate a summary of the contract content that the business unit will request the legal department to review, and one or more pre-items, based on the received draft contract and related documents, and makes a request to the generating AI model that includes these instructions. The draft contract and related documents uploaded by the user of the first terminal 111 may be included in the instructions by describing all or part of the text data contained therein in the instructions to the generating AI model, or by describing the storage location of those files in the instructions to the generating AI model.

[0034] In the example shown in Figure 3B, after a user using the first terminal 111 specifies a draft contract and related documents, the generating AI model (hereinafter also referred to as the "first generating AI model") generates one or more pre-items related to the draft contract, the contract content based on the draft contract, or a summary thereof, depending on the selection made by clicking or tapping the icon 331, and these are displayed in the display field 330 as "advice from the AI." Here, "pre-items" refers to items that are desirable to be confirmed or considered in advance before requesting a contract review. The user of the first terminal 111 can enter comments in the input field 310 based on the advice from the AI ​​displayed in the display field 330, and the first terminal 110 can include such comments and other inputs in the related documents sent to the device 100.

[0035] The pre-application items may include pointing out inconsistencies between the content of the contract draft received by the device 100 and the content described in the related documents for the contract draft. Since the intentions of the business division are communicated through proposals, emails, etc., and these intentions are not always reflected in the contract draft, pointing out such inconsistencies and having the business division review them in advance reduces the burden on the legal department to later conduct hearings with the business division to resolve such inconsistencies. The pre-application items may also include inconsistencies between the content of the contract or its summary that the business division requests the legal department to review and the content described in the related documents. The summary may be a summary of the contract draft only, or a summary of both the contract draft and the related documents.

[0036] The pre-entry items may include recommendations or requests to enter the name of the counterparty company, transaction amount, transaction overview, transaction purpose, risks to be confirmed, review deadline, and desired contract signing date. The pre-entry items may also include a set of items designated by or specific to the business unit or the company to which the business unit belongs. This set of items may consist of one or more items determined based on the contract type, contract amount, etc., which are determined based on the draft contract, contract content, or summary thereof. Examples of contract types include sales contracts, purchase contracts, service contracts, confidentiality agreements, and amendment memoranda.

[0037] User input can be performed from an input screen displayed by sending input screen display information to the first terminal 111. The input screen display information can be sent, for example, as an HTML file, read by the web browser of the first terminal 111, and displayed on the display screen of the first terminal 111. If a native application is installed on the first terminal 111, the input screen display information should include the data necessary for that application to display the input screen. Here, "input screen" can take various forms such as a web page, modal window, or popup window when displayed on a web browser, or it can be a screen of a dedicated application when displayed on that application. In any case, any screen that includes an area with input fields for entering necessary information is considered an input screen. Similar techniques can be applied to other screens mentioned in this specification.

[0038] Furthermore, in the example shown in Figure 3B, when the user of the first terminal 111 selects the "Next" button 320, the device 100 requests the generating AI model (hereinafter also referred to as the "second generating AI model") to generate a summary of the contract details that the business unit will request the legal unit to review. Rather than making the request for the creation of one or more pre-items for displaying "AI advice" in advance as described above, both can be generated in a single request, and Figure 2 shows such operation.

[0039] Upon receiving the request, platform 120 generates a summary of the contract details and one or more pre-items (S203) and transmits them to device 100 (S204). Device 100 then transmits the received summary and one or more pre-items to the first terminal 111 (S205). As described above, if the generation of one or more pre-items is performed in advance, and the summary is generated by including comments entered by the user of the first terminal 111 as related materials, it is not necessary to generate one or more pre-items again at this point. The display of the summary and one or more pre-items may be made by notifying the first terminal 111, and the requester using the first terminal 111 can select the notification by tapping or clicking, thereby displaying it on the first terminal 111 via the contract review support service provided by device 100, and the notification may include the summary and one or more pre-items. More generally, the display can be made using a notification.

[0040] In this specification, "AI model" refers to a machine learning model trained to predict output for a given input, and "generative AI model" refers to a large-scale language model (LLM) trained using text data to generate output not included in the input. While LLMs applying a transformer architecture are particularly preferred as generative AI models, it is anticipated that the architecture's name may change with technological advancements. Therefore, in this specification, "transformer architecture" encompasses architectures using one or more features of a transformer architecture or improvements thereof. In this specification, whether "generative AI models" are identical is determined by whether the type of generative AI model specified by the user is identical. For example, in the case of GPT-4, if the value of the variable "model" is identical, they are considered identical generative AI models. If generative AI models used in different processes are not identical, they may be provided on the same platform 120 or on different devices. Furthermore, it goes without saying that requests for generative AI models may include multiple requests, and may include one or more processes performed on the device making the request, other than the requests for the generative AI model.

[0041] Requests to a generative AI model can be made by executing code containing instructions (prompts) written in natural language, thereby calling the OpenAI API, and the generative AI model generates a response to those prompts. The OpenAI API is an example, and other APIs may be used. More specifically, the code for making the request is stored in the memory of the device on which the code is executed, and the request can be made by the device retrieving this code and executing code containing instructions obtained by setting the required values ​​to the variables contained in the code.

[0042] In this embodiment, all or part of the text data contained in the contract draft and related materials received by the device 100, or a designation thereof, can be set as the value of the variable in the instruction. The instruction may also include classifying which of the multiple files received by the device 100 and described in the instruction above is the contract draft and which are materials related to the contract draft.

[0043] Figure 4 shows an example of a summary of a contract subject to review according to one embodiment of the present invention. Screen 400 displays the generated summary on the first terminal 111, and includes an overview of the contract, as well as a title and date. In the example in Figure 3B, the advice "There is a discrepancy between the project start date (desired for August) and the contract period in the draft contract (October 1, 2025 - September 30, 2026). Please consider whether you would like to request that the start date be brought forward to August" is displayed. If the user of the first terminal 111 enters the comment "Please set the start date to August 1," then the device 100 can generate a summary with August 1 as the start date, as shown in Figure 4. Alternatively, the device 100 may generate a summary without changing October 1 as stipulated in the draft contract, allowing the user of the first terminal 111 to make necessary corrections on screen 400.

[0044] The first terminal 111 transmits to the device 100 a request for review of a draft contract specified by the user, which includes the summary accepted by the user of the first terminal 111 or a summary modified by the user as the request summary (S206). The modifications are, for example, modifications relating to one or more pre-items received by the first terminal 111.

[0045] In response to the review request, device 100 notifies the legal terminal 130 used by the legal department of the review request (S210). The workflow determination based on the received summary by device 100 (S207) and the associated processing will be described later.

[0046] Thus, in this embodiment, using the contract proposal and related materials from the business division, a summary of the contract content that the business division will request the legal division to review is generated, and one or more items that the business division should confirm or consider in advance are also generated to encourage such confirmation or consideration, thereby enabling the legal division to accurately convey the contract content that the business division desires.

[0047] (Second embodiment) In a second embodiment of the present invention, the device 100 can determine a workflow involving a review by the legal department in response to receiving a review request from the first terminal 111 (S207). The workflow may include an approval process from a review request by a business unit to a review by the legal department, and may further include an approval process after the review. Examples of the latter include, for example, approval by the board of directors, approval with a seal, etc.

[0048] The determination can be made based on a summary included in the review request received by the device 100. For example, the summary may include at least one of the following: contract type (sales contract, purchase contract, outsourcing contract, confidentiality agreement, amendment memorandum, etc.), contract amount, business division that made the review request, and the requester. For example, it can determine the workflow corresponding to a contract type being a purchase contract and a contract amount of 10 million yen or more. The determination can be made by storing a correspondence between a set of predetermined conditions and the workflow that satisfies each condition in the storage unit 103 and referring to this correspondence. In addition to being executed using pre-stored logic, it may also be executed using a generated AI model.

[0049] Each workflow includes one or more approver identifiers that identify one or more approvers. The approver identifier is, for example, the ID of the approver on the contract review support service provided by device 100. Examples of approvers include the client's superiors, the department head of the business unit to which the client belongs, and so on.

[0050] The device 100 may generate an additional summary for the approver in the client's subsequent process, in addition to the summary at the time of the request (S208). The additional summary includes one or more items according to the approver's attributes, such as their position. If the subsequent process involves a legal department reviewer, an additional summary may also be generated for that reviewer. The generation of the additional summary can be done using a generation AI model, similar to the summary at the time of the request, but for simplicity, the details are not shown in Figure 2.

[0051] Device 100 notifies the second terminal 112, used by the approver in the next step, of the review request received from the client, according to the determined workflow (S209). Upon receiving approval from the approver using the second terminal 112 and any comments entered as necessary (S210), Device 100 notifies the legal department terminal 130, used by the legal department, of the request for review of the draft contract (S211).

[0052] An approver or reviewer who receives a notification can view the review status in accordance with the determined workflow, as shown in Figure 5. The review status confirmation screen 500 preferably visually displays the progress of the review vertically and may include a message 510 for the approver or reviewer of the next step. Although the requester is not shown in Figure 5, the requester may be shown first. For example, a message 510 for approver "Katsuya Fujii" may include an element 511 for displaying a summary with the words "Summary here," and depending on whether the approver selects this by clicking or tapping, an approval summary for the approver may be displayed on the display screen of the second terminal 112 used by the approver. The approval summary or review summary may be included in the notification and may be displayed based on an action by the approver or reviewer, such as tapping or clicking on the notification. More generally, the approval summary or review summary can be displayed using a notification.

[0053] The approval summary may include the additional summary described above and may also include the request summary. The additional summary means an additionally generated summary and may substitute for the request summary. The approval summary may be generated before notification to the second terminal 112 as described above, but may also be generated in response to the approver requesting the display of the approval summary.

[0054] The message 530 addressed to examiner "Tomoya Sakai" may similarly include an element 531 for displaying a summary that includes the phrase "Summary here." The display of the approval summary or review summary can be displayed at the request of the person requesting it, and is not limited to the selection of the phrase "Summary here." For example, it may be displayed or generated and displayed in response to the requester entering phrases such as "Explain the draft contract" in the input field 540. If there are multiple examiners in the legal department, the review summary can be a summary for each examiner and may include one or more items corresponding to the examiner's position or other attributes.

[0055] The approval summary or review summary may include one or more comments or summaries thereof entered by one or more approvers involved. In the example in Figure 5, approver "Katsuya Fujii" mentions the possibility of subcontracting and makes comment 520 indicating that discussion is possible, and when reviewer "Tomoya Sakai" displays the review summary, the summary may include a description regarding the possibility of subcontracting. In the example in Figure 5, the review process is not complicated for illustrative purposes, but for example, if there are multiple approvers, many comments will be entered, and the approval or review process will proceed more efficiently by providing summaries of the items that subsequent approvers or reviewers should consider.

[0056] In this way, by determining the workflow leading to the legal department's review based on the contract draft review request, it becomes possible to smoothly and accurately convey the contract terms desired by the business division. Furthermore, by generating an approval summary for approvers or a review summary for reviewers, approvers or reviewers in subsequent stages of the request can efficiently recognize the points discussed within the business division. In particular, by including one or more items that the legal department should pay attention to in the review summary, it becomes possible to streamline the review process within the legal department.

[0057] Furthermore, in the embodiments described above, unless the word "only" is used, such as "based only," "depending only," "in the case of only," or "referencing only," it is assumed in this specification that additional information may also be considered. Also, as an example, the statement "if a, then b" does not necessarily mean "always b in the case of a" or "b immediately after a," unless explicitly stated otherwise. In addition, the statement "each a constituting A" does not necessarily mean that A is composed of multiple components, but includes the possibility that the component is singular.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention described above are included in the disclosure herein, in any way that they are not inconsistent with each other.

[0059] Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, even if there are aspects of operation in some method, program, terminal, device, server, or system (hereinafter referred to as "method, etc.") that differ from the operation described herein, each aspect of the present invention is intended to cover the same operation as any of the operations described herein, and the existence of operation different from the operation described herein does not mean that such method, etc. is outside the scope of each aspect of the present invention.

[0060] The above explanation does not specifically mention cases where the business division makes modifications to the contract draft entered by the client, but it is not necessary for the contract draft and the contract draft reviewed by the legal division to be strictly identical. The device 100 may generate one or more modified contracts in response to the review summary of the contract draft entered by the reviewer or the modified contract draft modified by the approver, for example, using a generation AI model. The contract draft displayed on the legal division terminal 130 in response to the reviewer's operation of the review request notification to the legal division terminal 130 may be a draft that includes the one or more modified contracts or a draft that reflects the one or more modified contracts.
