Here, the electronic data may be image data, PDF format data, or data in a similar format, and the document reading unit 10 converts the electronic data into image data as necessary for analysis by the generating AI 400, thereby making the official documents analyzable as image data. For the sake of simplicity, the following explanation will use image data as an example of the electronic data described above. In this embodiment, public documents refer to documents that can be obtained from the Legal Affairs Bureau or local government, etc., and are, for example, family register transcripts, deregistered resident registers, real estate register transcripts, property valuation certificates, resident registers, seal certificates, and other documents that officially certify facts related to inheritance. A family register transcript is a public document that contains information such as the registered domicile, the name of the head of the family register, the names and dates of birth of all persons listed in the family register, the names and relationships of the parents, and status information such as birth and marriage. A deregistered resident register is a resident register whose resident registration has been removed due to death, etc., and is a public document that contains information such as the name, date of birth, registered domicile, address (last address), death, and date of death of the person whose resident registration has been removed (the deceased). A real estate registration certificate is an official document that contains the name and address of the real estate owner, as well as the location, use, and area of ​​the real estate. A property valuation certificate (fixed asset valuation certificate) is an official document that contains the name and address of the real estate owner, the location, use, and area of ​​the real estate, as well as the assessed value (fixed asset valuation value) and the tax base amount.A resident registration certificate is an official document that contains information such as name, date of birth, gender, address, name of the head of household and relationship to the head of household, registered domicile, and date of becoming a resident. An official seal registration certificate is an official document that contains the impression of the seal registered at the municipal office of the place of residence, as well as the address, name, and date of birth of the person who registered the seal.

[0020] (Information extraction unit 15) The information extraction unit 15 analyzes multiple image data read by the document reading unit 10 using the generation AI 400 to identify the deceased and extract information regarding the heirs and the inherited property. Specifically, the information extraction unit 15 identifies the deceased from the image data of multiple public documents provided by the document reading unit 10 and generates prompts that extract information regarding the heirs and the inherited property. The generated prompts and the multiple image data of public documents read by the document reading unit 10 are input to the generation AI 400. Upon receiving the analysis results from the generation AI 400, the information extraction unit 15 provides the analysis results to the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20, the application destination identification unit 25, and the legal affairs bureau application document generation unit 30. In this embodiment, the prompts include, for example, those that identify the deceased by analyzing multiple image data corresponding to public documents such as a family register transcript, a resident registration certificate, a real estate registration transcript, an appraisal certificate, a resident registration certificate, and a seal certificate, and referring to the record of the deceased's death and last address. In this embodiment, the inherited property is real estate. However, the inherited property is not limited to real estate; for example, it may also be movable property such as a ship.

[0021] Furthermore, the information extraction unit 15 analyzes one or more image data read by the financial asset information reading unit 40 using the generation AI 400 to extract the deceased's financial asset information. Specifically, the information extraction unit 15 generates a prompt that extracts the deceased's financial asset information from the image data of financial asset information provided by the financial asset information reading unit 40, and inputs the generated prompt and one or more image data read by the financial asset information reading unit 40 to the generation AI 400. When the information extraction unit 15 receives the analysis results from the generation AI 400, it provides the analysis results to the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30.

[0022] (Inheritance Relationship Diagram Generation Unit 20) The inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 generates an inheritance relationship diagram of the deceased based on the information of the heirs extracted by the information extraction unit 15. Specifically, the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 generates a prompt for generating an inheritance relationship diagram of the deceased based on the information of the heirs provided by the information extraction unit 15, and inputs the generated prompt to the generation AI 400. When the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 receives the inheritance relationship diagram from the generation AI 400, it provides the inheritance relationship diagram to the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30. If the inheritance relationship diagram received from the generation AI 400 needs to be corrected, it provides the inheritance relationship diagram to the inheritance relationship diagram correction unit 60.

[0023] (Application destination identification department 25) The application destination identification unit 25 identifies the competent legal affairs bureau to which the application for inheritance-related procedures concerning the inherited property should be submitted, by referring to a database 500 that associates addresses with the jurisdictional areas of legal affairs bureaus, based on the location information of the inherited property extracted by the information extraction unit 15. Specifically, the application destination identification unit 25 identifies the legal affairs bureau (competent legal affairs bureau) that has jurisdiction over the inherited property, which is real estate, by referring to its own database 500, which includes information on the jurisdiction of branch offices at the town or street address level as regional jurisdiction information, based on the location information of the inherited property provided by the information extraction unit 15. The application destination identification unit 25 then provides the identified competent legal affairs bureau information to the legal affairs bureau application document generation unit 30.

[0024] (Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Department 30) The Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30 generates application documents, including a registration application form and an inheritance division agreement, for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau, based on information regarding the parties involved in the inheritance and the assets subject to inheritance. Specifically, it generates application documents based on information regarding the parties involved in the inheritance and the assets subject to inheritance provided by the Information Extraction Unit 15 and the Application Destination Identification Unit 25. In this embodiment, if financial asset information is provided by the Information Extraction Unit 15, the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30 reflects this financial asset information in the inheritance division agreement. The registration application form and the inheritance division agreement are generated by the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30. On the other hand, the inheritance relationship diagram is provided by the Inheritance Relationship Diagram Generation Unit 20 or the Inheritance Relationship Diagram Modification Unit 60.

[0025] Furthermore, the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30, based on the information of the Legal Affairs Bureau having jurisdiction over the inherited property identified by the Application Destination Identification Unit 25, consolidates one or more application documents into a single application unit for each submission destination.

[0026] (Submitted Documents Confirmation Section 35) The Document Confirmation Unit 35 enables the operation of registering the application documents generated by the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30 as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1, but only on the user terminal 300. Specifically, the Document Confirmation Unit 35 does not display the upload button B for registering the application documents as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1 on the administrator terminal 200, but it does display it on the user terminal 300. When the Information Processing Device 100 receives information that the upload button B has been pressed from the user terminal 300, the Document Confirmation Unit 35 registers the application documents generated by the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30 as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1.

[0027] (Financial asset information reading unit 40) The financial asset information reading unit 40 enables the uploading of the deceased's financial asset information as image data from the user terminal 300, and reads one or more uploaded image data. Specifically, the financial asset information reading unit 40 displays a predetermined upload button (not shown) on the user terminal 300, making it possible to upload image data of the deceased's financial asset information from the user terminal 300 to the information processing unit 100. Then, when the image data of the deceased's financial asset information is uploaded from the user terminal 300 to the information processing unit 100, the financial asset information reading unit 40 reads the image data and provides the read image data to the information extraction unit 15. In this embodiment, the deceased's financial asset information includes, for example, savings information, securities information, and insurance information, and is used, along with real estate information, to identify all of the deceased's assets and determine the division of those assets when creating an inheritance division agreement. Savings information refers to information about ordinary deposits, time deposits, current accounts, and other savings held in the name of the deceased at financial institutions such as banks, credit unions, and Japan Post Bank (registered trademark). This includes information such as the name of the financial institution, branch name, account number, account holder name, and balance. Securities information refers to information about stocks, bonds, investment trusts, and other securities held at financial instrument business operators such as securities companies. This includes information such as the name of the securities company, account number, security name or security code, quantity, and valuation. Insurance information refers to information about life insurance, medical insurance, annuity insurance, and other insurance products held at insurance companies such as life insurance companies and non-life insurance companies. This includes information such as the name of the insurance company, policy number, policyholder name, insured name, beneficiary name, insurance amount, and surrender value.

[0028] (Project Assignment Section 45) The case assignment unit 45 distributes the work units to be processed based on the user's request according to the operator's (manager's) workload or area of ​​expertise, and determines the person in charge. Specifically, when the information processing device 100 receives a request from the user terminal 300, the case assignment unit 45 distributes the work units to be processed based on this request equally among multiple operators (managers), or assigns them to operators (managers) who have the necessary knowledge and skills in the area of ​​expertise to handle the work units, and determines the person in charge. The case assignment unit 45 then notifies the manager terminal 200 of the person in charge.

[0029] (Administrative Agency Application Document Generation Department 50) The administrative agency application document generation unit 50 generates application documents for applying to a municipal administrative agency for the issuance of a deregistered resident record or a family register transcript, based on request information obtained from a user. Specifically, the administrative agency application document generation unit 50 generates application documents for application to an administrative agency by referring to a database 500 that associates addresses with the jurisdictional areas of administrative agencies and application document formats for each administrative agency, based on request information obtained from a user (for example, the user's name and address, and the relationship of the deceased (decedent) from the user's perspective). The generated application documents become ready for output from a printer (not shown) by the administrator through an operation on the administrator terminal 200. The printer is installed, for example, near the administrator terminal 200 in the administrator's office.

[0030] (Initial response processing unit 55) The initial response processing unit 55 executes the envelope printing process necessary for sending contracts and other documents to be sent, based on the progress of the case. Specifically, the initial response processing unit 55 prints the user's name and address on envelopes set in a printer (not shown) based on the request information obtained from the user (for example, the user's name and address). In this embodiment, the contract is, for example, a contract for the provision of inheritance-related procedure support services between a corporation to which the administrator belongs and which provides inheritance-related procedure support services using the inheritance-related procedure support system 1, and the user. Other documents to be sent are, for example, brochures regarding the inheritance-related procedure support services performed by the inheritance-related procedure support system 1. Alternatively, the initial response processing unit 55 may print the user's address on address labels set in a printer (not shown), and the administrator may affix the address labels with the user's address printed on them to the envelopes.

[0031] (Revised section 60 of the inheritance relationship diagram) The inheritance relationship diagram modification unit 60 allows the administrator (system operator) to manually edit the inheritance relationship diagram generated by the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 via the administrator terminal 200, and displays the modified inheritance relationship diagram on the user terminal 300. Specifically, the inheritance relationship diagram modification unit 60 displays an image for editing the inheritance relationship diagram (not shown) on the administrator terminal 200, allowing the administrator to manually edit the inheritance relationship diagram generated by the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 via the administrator terminal 200. Then, once the administrator has finished modifying the inheritance relationship diagram, the inheritance relationship diagram modification unit 60 displays the modified inheritance relationship diagram on the user terminal 300. Furthermore, the inheritance relationship diagram modification unit 60 provides the modified inheritance relationship diagram to the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30.

[0032] (Status Management Unit 65) The status management unit 65 manages the status of document acquisition and application progress, displays the current status of document acquisition and application progress on the user terminal 300, and enables users to check the progress. Specifically, the status management unit 65 displays the current status of document acquisition and application progress in the status display area SA, which is set below the display units of the administrator terminal 200 and user terminal 300 as shown in Figures 5 to 8. Furthermore, the status management unit 65 displays the six steps of document acquisition and application progress in advance in the status display area SA, and displays the current status by placing a check mark on the steps that have been processed.

[0033] (Appraisal value determination unit 70) The valuation determination unit 70 reads the valuation amount by having the generating AI 400 analyze the image data of the valuation certificate provided by the user, and if the valuation amount falls below a predetermined tax exemption standard, it reflects the tax exemption processing in the data to be submitted. Specifically, the valuation determination unit 70 generates a prompt that reads the valuation amount of the inherited property from the image data of the valuation certificate provided by the document reading unit 10, and inputs the generated prompt and the image data of the valuation certificate to the generating AI 400. Then, when the valuation determination unit 70 receives the analysis result from the generating AI 400, it determines whether the valuation amount of the inherited property based on the analysis result falls below a predetermined tax exemption standard (for example, 1 million yen), and if the valuation amount of the inherited property falls below the predetermined tax exemption standard, it reflects the tax exemption processing in the data to be submitted. The data to be submitted is the data that forms the basis for generating the registration application form, which will be described later. The tax exemption processing is the process of reflecting the required information necessary to receive tax exemption measures in the registration application form into the data to be submitted. The prescribed information refers, for example, to the content displayed in the tax-exempt area A of Figures 7 and 8.

[0034] (Seal impression consistency check unit 75) The seal impression consistency check unit 75 analyzes image data of application documents containing the signatures or seals of the heirs, detects discrepancies in the clarity and position of the seal impressions, and notifies the administrator terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 if an abnormality is detected. Specifically, the seal impression consistency check unit 75 generates a prompt that detects discrepancies in the clarity and position of the seal impressions in the image data of the application documents containing the signatures or seals of the heirs uploaded from the user terminal 300, and inputs the generated prompt and the image data of the application documents to the generation AI 400. If the analysis result of the generation AI 400 detects discrepancies in the clarity and position of the seal impressions in the image data of the application documents, in other words, if an abnormality is detected, the seal impression consistency check unit 75 notifies the administrator terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 accordingly.

[0035] (Example of hardware configuration of information processing device 100) Figure 2 shows an example of the hardware configuration of an information processing device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The information processing device 100 includes a bus 1010, a processor 1020, a memory 1030, a storage device 1040, an input / output interface 1050, and a network interface 1060.

[0036] Bus 1010 is a data transmission path for the processor 1020, memory 1030, storage device 1040, input / output interface 1050, and network interface 1060 to send and receive data to and from each other. However, the method of connecting the processor 1020 and the other components to each other is not limited to bus connection.

[0037] The 1020 processor is a processor implemented in components such as the CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

[0038] Memory 1030 is a main memory device implemented using RAM (Random Access Memory), etc.

[0039] The storage device 1040 is an auxiliary storage device that can be implemented as a removable media such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), SSD (Solid State Drive), or memory card, or as ROM (Read Only Memory), and has a recording medium. The recording medium of the storage device 1040 stores program modules that realize each function of the information processing device 100. The processor 1020 reads these program modules into the memory 1030 and executes them, thereby realizing each function corresponding to that program module.

[0040] The input / output interface 1050 is an interface for connecting the information processing device 100 with various input / output devices (not shown).

[0041] The network interface 1060 is an interface for connecting the information processing device 100 to the communication network N. The method by which the network interface 1060 connects to the communication network N may be wireless or wired. The information processing device 100 may also communicate with an administrator terminal 200 or the like via the network interface 1060.

[0042] (Example of operation of Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1) Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the first half of an example of the operation of the inheritance-related procedure support system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the second half of an example of the operation of the inheritance-related procedure support system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, when an heir who owns real estate dies, the user (for example, an heir) inputs request information such as the user's name and address, and the relationship of the deceased (testator) from the user's perspective into the user terminal 300 and transmits it to the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 then receives the request information from the user terminal 300 via the communication network N and accepts the user's request for inheritance-related procedure support based on the request information, at which point the flowchart in Figure 3 starts.

[0043] In step S100, when the information processing device 100 receives a request from a user for assistance with inheritance-related procedures, the case assignment unit 45 distributes the work units to be processed based on the user's request according to the workload or area of ​​expertise of the operators (managers) and determines who will be in charge. For example, if two managers are capable of handling the received work units, the case assignment unit 45 determines who will be in charge by distributing the work units alternately to each manager in order to prevent an imbalance in the workload of the two managers. On the other hand, if, for example, one of the two managers has the necessary knowledge and skills in the area of ​​expertise to handle the received work units, the case assignment unit 45 determines who will be in charge by distributing the work units to that manager. Once the case assignment unit 45 has determined who will be in charge, it notifies the administrator terminal 200 of the determined person in charge (manager).

[0044] In step S101, when the information processing device 100 receives an instruction from the administrator terminal 200 to generate an administrative agency application document, the administrative agency application document generation unit 50 identifies the municipal administrative agency to which the application for a deregistered resident record or a family register transcript will be submitted, and the application document format for that administrative agency, by referring to a database 500 that associates addresses with administrative agency jurisdictions and application document formats for each administrative agency, based on the request information obtained from the user (for example, the user's address). Then, based on the request information obtained from the user (for example, the user's name and address, and the relationship of the deceased (decedent) from the user's perspective), the administrative agency application document generation unit 50 generates an application document to be submitted to the municipal administrative agency to which the application for a deregistered resident record or a family register transcript will be submitted, by filling in the relevant sections of the identified application document format. The application document is printed using a printer (not shown) and submitted to the administrative agency. This makes it possible to obtain a deregistered resident registration or a family register transcript from an administrative agency. In this embodiment, the administrative agency application document generation unit 50 may use the request information received by the information processing device 100 from the user terminal 300, or it may use the information entered by the administrator received by the administrator terminal 200 as the request information.

[0045] In step S102, when the information processing device 100 receives an instruction from the administrator terminal 200 to execute the envelope printing process, the initial response processing unit 55 prints the user's address on an envelope set in a printer (not shown). The administrator then places the contract and other documents to be sent inside the envelope with the user's address printed on it and sends it to the user.

[0046] In step S103, when the information processing device 100 receives a predetermined instruction from the administrator from the administrator terminal 200, the document reading unit 10 enables the uploading of multiple image data of official documents from the administrator terminal 200 or the user terminal 300 to the information processing device 100. Then, when multiple image data of official documents are uploaded to the information processing device 100 from the administrator terminal 200 or the user terminal 300, the document reading unit 10 reads the multiple image data of the uploaded official documents. In this embodiment, the image data of official documents may be, for example, image data of a family register transcript, image data of a deregistered resident record, image data of a real estate register transcript, image data of an appraisal certificate, image data of a resident record, or image data of a seal certificate.

[0047] In step S104, when the information processing device 100 receives an analysis instruction from the administrator via the administrator terminal 200, the information extraction unit 15 generates a prompt and inputs the generated prompt and multiple image data of public documents read by the document reading unit 10 to the generation AI 400. The prompt may include, for example, identifying the deceased by referring to the death record and last address of the deceased in the image data of the resident registration, the deregistered resident registration, and the family register; extracting information about related parties (e.g., name, date of birth, relationship, etc.) by referring to the names and relationships of other related parties (e.g., name, date of birth, relationship, etc.) in the image data of the resident registration, the deregistered resident registration, and the family register; and extracting information about the inherited property (e.g., location of the inherited property, etc.) in the image data of the real estate registration and the appraisal certificate. The generating AI 400 analyzes image data of multiple official documents based on prompts input from the information extraction unit 15, identifies the deceased, extracts information regarding the heirs and the inherited property, and outputs the analysis results to the information processing device 100. When the information processing device 100 receives the analysis results from the generating AI 400, the information extraction unit 15 displays the analysis results on the user terminal 300. Figure 5 shows an example of the generating AI 400's analysis results (analysis results regarding information on the deceased and the heirs) displayed on the user terminal 300. Here, the official documents include old, handwritten, and unclear documents. Therefore, there may be cases where the generating AI 400 cannot analyze the image data of the official documents or where the analysis results are incorrect. In this embodiment, the user can check the generating AI 400's analysis results displayed on the user terminal 300 and input information to supplement the content that the generating AI 400 could not analyze, and input information to correct any errors in the analysis results.

[0048] In step S105, when the information processing device 100 receives an instruction from the administrator terminal 200 to generate an inheritance relationship diagram, the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 generates a prompt for generating an inheritance relationship diagram based on the information of the heirs extracted by the information extraction unit 15 and the inheritance division information of the heirs obtained from the user, and inputs this prompt into the generation AI 400. The inheritance division information is information that the user inputs into the user terminal 300, regarding whether each heir will inherit the inherited property and the inheritance ratio of the heirs who do inherit. Based on the prompt input from the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20, the generation AI 400 generates an inheritance relationship diagram and outputs the generated inheritance relationship diagram to the information processing device 100. When the information processing device 100 receives the inheritance relationship diagram from the generation AI 400, the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 displays the inheritance relationship diagram on the administrator terminal 200 (see Figure 6). If the administrator confirms that the inheritance relationship diagram displayed on the administrator terminal 200 contains errors, the administrator can correct the inheritance relationship diagram using the administrator terminal 200 in step S106.

[0049] In step S106, when the information processing device 100 receives an instruction from the administrator terminal 200 granting permission to modify the inheritance relationship diagram, the inheritance relationship diagram generated by the inheritance relationship diagram generation unit 20 becomes editable by the administrator via the administrator terminal 200. Then, when the administrator has finished modifying the inheritance relationship diagram and the information processing device 100 receives an instruction from the administrator terminal 200 indicating that the modification of the inheritance relationship diagram is complete, the inheritance relationship diagram modification unit 60 displays the modified inheritance relationship diagram on the user terminal 300. The user can ensure the consistency and accuracy of the modified inheritance relationship diagram by checking the modified inheritance relationship diagram displayed on the user terminal 300. If there are no errors in the contents of the inheritance relationship diagram, step S106 is omitted.

[0050] In step S107, when the information processing device 100 receives an instruction from the administrator to identify the application destination from the administrator terminal 200, the application destination identification unit 25 identifies the competent legal affairs bureau to which the application for inheritance-related procedures concerning the inherited property should be submitted, by referring to a database 500 that associates addresses with the jurisdictional areas of legal affairs bureaus, based on the location information of the inherited property extracted by the information extraction unit 15.

[0051] In step S108, when the financial asset information reading unit 40 receives a predetermined instruction from the administrator via the administrator terminal 200, it makes the deceased's financial asset information available for upload as image data from the user terminal 300. When the image data of the deceased's financial asset information is uploaded from the user terminal 300 to the information processing unit 100, the financial asset information reading unit 40 reads the uploaded image data of the deceased's financial asset information. In this embodiment, the image data of the deceased's financial asset information uploaded in step S108 is, for example, image data of the deceased's bank passbook. Alternatively, in step S108, instead of uploading image data of the deceased's financial asset information, the user may input the information from the deceased's bank passbook into the user terminal 300.

[0052] In step S109, when the information processing device 100 receives an analysis instruction from the administrator terminal 200, the information extraction unit 15 generates a prompt and inputs the prompt and the image data of the deceased's financial asset information read by the financial asset information reading unit 40 to the generation AI 400. The prompt includes, for example, extracting the deceased's financial asset information by referring to the bank name, branch name, account type, account number, account holder name, and deposit balance in the image data of the bank passbook. Based on the prompt input from the information extraction unit 15, the generation AI 400 analyzes the image data of the deceased's financial asset information to extract the deceased's financial asset information and outputs the analysis result to the information processing device 100. When the information processing device 100 receives the analysis result of the deceased's financial asset information from the generation AI 400, the information extraction unit 15 displays the analysis result on the user terminal 300. The user confirms the extraction results (analysis results) of the deceased's financial asset information displayed on the user terminal 300, and adds this information to the financial asset information by entering the information of the representative who will carry out procedures such as closing the financial institution account, and the inheritance ratio of the heirs into the user terminal 300. If there is no financial asset information for the deceased, steps S108 and S109 are omitted.

[0053] In step S110, the valuation determination unit 70 generates a prompt and inputs the generated prompt and the image data of the valuation certificate read by the document reading unit 10 to the generation AI 400. The prompt includes, for example, reading the valuation amount of the inherited property by referring to the description of the valuation amount in the image data of the valuation certificate. Based on the prompt input from the valuation determination unit 70, the generation AI 400 analyzes the image data of the valuation certificate to read the valuation amount of the inherited property and outputs the reading result to the information processing device 100. When the information processing device 100 receives the reading result of the valuation amount of the inherited property from the generation AI 400, the valuation determination unit 70 determines whether the valuation amount of the inherited property is below a predetermined tax exemption standard (for example, 1 million yen), and if the valuation amount of the inherited property is below the predetermined tax exemption standard, it reflects the tax exemption processing in the data to be submitted.

[0054] In step S111, when the information processing device 100 receives a generation instruction from the user terminal 300, the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30 generates application documents, including a diagram of inheritance relationships, a registration application form for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau, and an inheritance division agreement, based on information regarding the inheritors and the inherited property. The diagram of inheritance relationships included in the application documents is either the diagram of inheritance relationships generated in step S105 or the revised diagram of inheritance relationships modified in step S106. Furthermore, if the financial asset information of the deceased has been extracted in step S109, the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30 generates a prompt to generate an inheritance division agreement based on the financial asset information of the deceased, and inputs the generated prompt into the Generation AI 400. Based on the prompt input from the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit, the Generation AI 400 generates application documents, including an inheritance division agreement reflecting the financial asset information, and outputs them to the information processing device 100. Furthermore, the Legal Affairs Bureau Application Document Generation Unit 30, based on the information of the Legal Affairs Bureau having jurisdiction over the inherited property identified by the Application Destination Identification Unit 25, consolidates one or more application documents into a single application unit for each submission destination.

[0055] In step S112, the document confirmation unit 35 enables the user terminal 300 to register the application documents generated by the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30 as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the inheritance-related procedure support system 1. For example, the document confirmation unit 35 displays the application document upload button B on the user terminal 300 shown in Figure 7, but does not display the upload button B on the administrator terminal 200 shown in Figure 8. As a result, the user terminal 300 can register the application documents generated by the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30 as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the inheritance-related procedure support system 1, but the administrator terminal 200 is prohibited from registering the application documents generated by the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30 as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the inheritance-related procedure support system 1. In other words, the Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1 is limited to assisting in the creation of application documents to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau, and the user themselves generates and uploads the application documents (the operation of registering the application documents as data for submission to the competent Legal Affairs Bureau in the Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1). This makes it possible for the Inheritance-Related Procedure Support System 1 to avoid violating the Judicial Scrivener Act, etc.

[0056] In step S113, when the seal impression consistency check unit 75 receives image data of an application document containing the signature or seal of an heir from the user terminal 300, it generates a prompt that detects the clarity and positional deviation of the seal impression and inputs the generated prompt and the image data of the application document to the generation AI 400. Based on the prompt input from the seal impression consistency check unit 75, the generation AI 400 analyzes the image data of the application document and outputs the analysis results to the information processing device 100. When the information processing device 100 receives the analysis results of the image data of the application document from the generation AI 400, the seal impression consistency check unit 75 notifies the administrator terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 if the analysis results detect the clarity and positional deviation of the seal impression in the image data of the application document, in other words, if an abnormality has been detected. The administrator of administrator terminal 200, upon receiving the notification, will, for example, check the image data of the application documents and, if there are issues with the clarity or position of the seal impressions, request the user to correct the application documents or have the heirs sign or affix their seals to new application documents. The user of user terminal 300, upon receiving the notification, will, for example, check the image data of the application documents and, if there are issues with the clarity or position of the seal impressions, correct the application documents or have the heirs sign or affix their seals to new application documents. Once the seal impression consistency check of the application document image data is complete, the administrator, upon request from the user, will, for example, submit the application documents to the relevant Legal Affairs Bureau determined by the Application Destination Identification Department 25. This completes the inheritance registration procedure for the inherited property at the relevant Legal Affairs Bureau.

[0057] As described above, according to this embodiment, the information extraction unit 15 and the application destination identification unit 25 handle the interpretation of official documents and the complex investigation of the relevant legal affairs bureau, thereby enabling ordinary users unfamiliar with inheritance registration applications to prepare documents, and improving the speed and accuracy of inheritance registration procedures. Furthermore, by limiting the final submission of application documents to the relevant legal affairs bureau to the user's own operation (final approval) via the document confirmation unit 35, the responsibility for the operation of the inheritance-related procedure support system 1 is clarified, thereby ensuring its reliability.

[0058] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the information extraction unit 15 can reliably read and identify the deceased's death and last address by analyzing image data of multiple public documents such as family registers and deregistered resident records, thereby enabling the rapid and accurate identification of heirs and their linking to inheritance property information. This improves the accuracy of inputting basic information for inheritance registration procedures.

[0059] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the financial asset information reading unit 40 receives financial asset information (such as bank account information) from the user via the user terminal 300, and the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30 automatically reflects this information in the inheritance division agreement, which is part of the application documents. This makes it possible to create application documents that cover not only real estate but also financial assets. This streamlines the creation of multiple documents and reduces the user's input burden, thereby improving the overall speed of the inheritance procedure.

[0060] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the application destination identification unit 25 refers to its own jurisdictional information at the town and street address level, thereby achieving accurate automatic matching to the complex jurisdictional divisions of the Legal Affairs Bureau. This prevents the return or rejection of documents due to jurisdictional errors, and the Legal Affairs Bureau application document generation unit 30 consolidates application documents into batch applications for each submission destination, thereby improving the reliability and practical efficiency of the application process.

[0061] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the case assignment unit 45 distributes the tasks to be processed according to the operator's workload or area of ​​expertise and determines the person in charge, thereby leveling the workload among operators and enabling a rapid response that leverages their expertise. In addition, the initial response processing unit 55 executes the envelope printing process and automates the preparation of contract documents for sending by the inheritance-related procedure support system 1, thereby shortening the lead time until the conclusion of a contract between the corporation providing inheritance-related procedure support services using the inheritance-related procedure support system 1 and the user, and improving operational efficiency. Moreover, application forms for applying to administrative agencies for the issuance of deregistered resident records and family register transcripts can also be easily output by the inheritance-related procedure support system 1 from request information obtained from the user.

[0062] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the inheritance relationship diagram correction unit 60 allows manual editing of the inheritance relationship diagram, enabling flexible correction of erroneous detections by the generating AI 400 and complex inheritance relationships. In addition, the inheritance relationship diagram correction unit 60 displays the corrected inheritance relationship diagram on the user terminal 300, allowing the user to confirm the corrected inheritance relationship diagram. This ensures the final data integrity and accuracy of the inheritance relationship diagram.

[0063] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the status management unit 65 updates the document acquisition and application progress status in real time and displays it on the user terminal 300, thereby reducing the burden of inquiries from users and providing them with transparency and peace of mind.

[0064] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the valuation determination unit 70 compares the valuation of the real estate read from the valuation certificate with the non-taxable criteria, and automatically applies the non-taxable treatment if applicable, thereby preventing omissions in the application of tax special provisions, reducing the burden on users, and improving the accuracy of automated procedures.

[0065] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the seal impression consistency check unit 75 detects the clarity and positional misalignment of the seal impression on the application documents, and if an abnormality is detected, it notifies the administrator terminal 200 and the user terminal 300. This prevents applications from being returned due to deficiencies in seal impression or unclear seal impression, guarantees document quality, and enhances the reliability of applications.

[0066] It should be noted that the flowcharts shown in Figures 3 and 4 in this embodiment are merely examples of one embodiment. Without altering the spirit of the present invention, there may be processes other than those described in each flowchart, some of the processes described in each flowchart may be omitted, or the order of the processes may be changed.
