Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the following description and drawings are appropriately omitted and simplified for clarity of explanation. Also, in the following drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted as necessary.

[0012] (First Embodiment) Using FIG. 1, a configuration example of the information processing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment. The information processing apparatus 1 may be a personal computer or a server. The information processing apparatus 1 includes a first non-judgment information acquisition unit 2 (for example, the non-judgment information acquisition unit 126 described later), a first non-information conversion unit 3 (for example, the non-information conversion unit 121 described later), and a non-judgment information registration unit 4 (for example, the non-judgment information registration unit 127 described later).

[0013] The first non-judgment information acquisition unit 2 accesses a first WEB on which the non-judgment information described in the first format is posted, and acquires the non-judgment information described in the first format from the first WEB.

[0014] The first non-information conversion unit 3 converts the non-judgment information described in the first format into non-judgment information described in the second format.

[0015] The non-judgment information registration unit 4 registers the non-judgment information described in the second format in a first database 5 (for example, the component information DB 113 described later). The first database 5 may be built into the information processing apparatus 1 or provided outside the information processing apparatus 1.

[0016] As described above, according to the first embodiment, the non-judgment information can be obtained without manual operation, and the obtained non-judgment information can be input without manual operation. That is, there is no need to obtain the non-judgment information manually.

[0017] This is because the first non-judgment information acquisition unit 2 automatically acquires the non-judgment information from a WEB (an example of the first WEB of the present invention) on which the non-judgment information (for example, non-information of products manufactured by Company A) is posted, the first non-information conversion unit 3 automatically converts the format of the acquired non-judgment information, and the non-judgment information registration unit 4 automatically registers (stores) the converted non-judgment information in the first database 5.

[0018] (Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is a more specific embodiment of the first embodiment. <Example of information processing device configuration> Using Figure 2, an example of the configuration of the information processing device 100 according to the second embodiment will be described. Figure 2 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device according to the second embodiment. The information processing device 100 corresponds to the information processing device 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0019] The information processing device 100 is a device that performs a determination of whether or not something is applicable.

[0020] Figure 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the information processing device 100.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, the information processing device 100 is a computer equipped with a storage device 110, a control unit 120, memory 130, a communication unit 140, and the like. The information processing device 100 may be a personal computer or a server. The communication unit 140 is connected to a network NW (for example, the Internet) and communicates with an external server (WEB or web page). The communication with the external server (WEB or web page), described later, is performed via the communication unit 140.

[0022] The storage device 110 is, for example, a non-volatile storage unit such as a hard disk drive or an SSD. As shown in Figure 2, the storage device 110 includes a database (domestic export-related laws DB111, US export-related laws DB112, parts information DB113, product information DB114, and classification determination history DB115).

[0023] Here, we will explain the various types of information registered in the database.

[0024] Figure 4 shows an example of information registered in the domestic export-related laws and regulations database (DB111).

[0025] As shown in Figure 4, the domestic export-related laws and regulations DB111 includes the following items for each law: law name, detailed name, effective date, country, URL, and previous effective date.

[0026] The legal name will include the names of domestic export-related laws that affect the determination of whether or not an item is subject to export classification. The detailed name will be the detailed name of the item "Law Name". On the effective date, the effective date of the "Law Name" item will be registered. The country is registered as the country to which the item "Name of Law" applies. The URL will contain the URL to which you can access (download) export-related laws and regulations. For the previous effective date, the effective date immediately preceding the "effective date" item will be registered.

[0027] Figure 5 shows an example of information registered in the parts information DB113.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5, the parts information DB113 includes the following items for each part: part number, part name, classification, country of origin, manufacturer, export regulations (goods), compliance determination result, export regulations (services), compliance determination result, special cases, determination date, URL, and information acquisition date.

[0029] The part number will be the part number of the item "Part". The part name will be the name of the item "Part". The classification will register the item "parts". The country of origin registered is the country of origin for the item "parts". The manufacturer(s) registered will be the manufacturer(s) of the item "Parts". The Export Control Order (Goods) registers the laws and regulations concerning the goods for which the classification of exports is determined. The classification determination results will include the determination results of classification using the laws and regulations registered under the item "Export Order (Goods)". The Export Control Order (Services) registers the laws and regulations concerning the services for which the determination of whether or not an export applies. The classification determination results will include the determination results of classification using the laws and regulations registered under the item "Export Order (Services)". The special exceptions include those related to the item "parts". On the determination date, the date on which the applicability determination was made for the item "parts" will be registered. The URL will contain the URL to access for obtaining (downloading) the classification determination information. The date the information was obtained (downloaded) is registered as the information acquisition date.

[0030] Figure 6 shows an example of information registered in the product information DB114.

[0031] As shown in Figure 6, the product information DB114 includes the following items for each product: product model number, product name, classification, country of origin, manufacturer, parts, and compliance determination number.

[0032] The product model number will be the model number of the item "Product". The product name will be the name of the item "Product". The classification will register the item "Product". The country of origin registered is the country of origin for the item "Product". The manufacturer(s) listed under the "Product" item will be registered. The "Parts" field registers one or more components that make up the "Product" item. The "Applicability Determination Number" is registered as information used to identify the history of applicability determinations in the Applicability Determination History DB115.

[0033] Figure 7 shows an example of information registered in the Applicability Determination History DB115.

[0034] As shown in Figure 7, the compliance determination history DB115 includes the following items for each compliance determination for a product: compliance determination number, product model number, product name, export regulations (goods), compliance determination result, export regulations (services), compliance determination result, special cases, and determination date.

[0035] The "Applicability Determination Number" is registered as information used to identify the history of applicability determinations. The product model number registered is the model number of the product for which the classification determination was made. The product name registered will be the name of the product for which the classification determination was made. The Export Control Order (Goods) registers the laws and regulations concerning the goods for which the classification of exports is determined. The classification determination results will include the determination results of classification using the laws and regulations registered under the item "Export Order (Goods)". The Export Control Order (Services) registers the laws and regulations concerning the services for which the determination of whether or not an export applies. The classification determination results will include the determination results of classification using the laws and regulations registered under the item "Export Order (Services)". The special exceptions registered pertain to products for which a classification determination has been made. On the determination date, the date on which the determination was made for the product is registered.

[0036] Returning to Figure 3, an example configuration of the information processing device 100 will be described. The control unit 120 includes a processor. The processor is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit). There may be one processor or multiple processors. The processor executes a predetermined program read from the storage device 110 into the memory 130 (for example, RAM), and functions as the following, as shown in Figure 2: the applicability determination information acquisition unit 126, the applicability determination information registration unit 127, the applicability information conversion unit 121, the import product information conversion unit 122, the legal revision monitoring unit 123, the legal revision response unit 124, and the applicability determination unit 125. Some or all of these may be implemented in hardware.

[0037] The compliance determination information acquisition unit 126 accesses a first webpage containing compliance determination information (for example, see the compliance information for Company A's product in Figure 2) written in a first format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format), and acquires compliance determination information written in the first format from the first webpage (an example of the first compliance determination information acquisition unit of the present invention). The compliance determination information acquisition unit 126 also acquires part information and compliance determination information written in a third format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) from an import product slip containing compliance determination information written in a third format (an example of the second compliance determination information acquisition unit).

[0038] The conformity information conversion unit 121 converts the conformity determination information, which is described in a first format and acquired by the conformity determination information acquisition unit 126, into conformity determination information described in a second format (for example, the conformity determination information format of the own department) (an example of the first conformity information conversion unit of the present invention).

[0039] The compliance determination information registration unit 127 registers (stores) the compliance determination information, which is written in the second format converted by the compliance information conversion unit 121 or the import information conversion unit 122, in the parts information DB 113 (an example of the first database of the present invention).

[0040] The import information conversion unit 122 converts the part information and compliance determination information described in a third format (e.g., PDF file format or CSV file format) acquired by the compliance determination information acquisition unit 126 into part information and compliance determination information described in a second format (e.g., the compliance determination information format of the own department) (an example of the second compliance information conversion unit of the present invention).

[0041] The Legal Amendment Monitoring Unit 123 periodically accesses the Second Web, which contains export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) (see, for example, Japanese export-related laws and regulations in Figure 2), and periodically monitors whether there have been any amendments to the export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format. In addition, the Legal Amendment Monitoring Unit 133 monitors not only Japanese export-related laws and regulations but also U.S. export-related laws and regulations, etc., for any amendments.

[0042] If the Legal Amendment Response Unit 124 detects an amendment to export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) as a result of monitoring by the Legal Amendment Monitoring Unit 133, it retrieves the export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format from the second web.

[0043] Furthermore, the legal amendment response unit 124 converts export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format into export-related laws and regulations written in the fifth format (an example of the export-related law conversion unit of the present invention).

[0044] Furthermore, if there is an amendment to the export-related laws and regulations described in the fourth format, as a result of monitoring by the legal amendment monitoring unit 133, the legal amendment monitoring unit 124 identifies products affected by the amended export-related laws and regulations in the compliance determination history DB 115 (an example of the third database of the present invention), which is registered in association with the product and the date on which the compliance determination of the product was made (an example of the product identification unit of the present invention).

[0045] The Export-Related Laws and Regulations Registration Unit 128 registers the export-related laws and regulations written in the fifth format, which have been converted by the Law Amendment Response Unit 134, in the Domestic Export-Related Laws and Regulations DB 111 (an example of the second database of the present invention).

[0046] Furthermore, the legal revision response unit 124 reads the applicability determination information of various types of parts constituting the specified product from the parts information DB 113 (an example of the first database of the present invention) (an example of the applicability determination information reading unit of the present invention). Furthermore, the legal revision response unit 124 reads export-related laws and regulations written in the fifth format (for example, the format of export-related laws and regulations of the own department) from the domestic export-related laws and regulations DB 111 (an example of the second database of the present invention) (an example of the export-related laws and regulations reading unit of the present invention).

[0047] The applicability determination unit 115 performs applicability determination using the applicability determination information of various parts read by the legal amendment response unit 134, and the export-related laws and regulations (amended export-related laws and regulations) written in the fifth format read by the legal amendment response unit 134.

[0048] The terminal device 200 may be a personal computer or a server. The terminal device 200 is used to input (manually input) compliance determination information for parts that cannot be obtained from the first WEB. <Example of information processing device operation> Next, we will explain an example of the operation of the information processing device 100.

[0049] First, I will explain the process for amending laws and regulations.

[0050] Figure 8 is a flowchart of the process for amending laws and regulations.

[0051] First, it is determined whether or not there have been any amendments to export-related laws and regulations (step S30). This is done by the Law Amendment Monitoring Unit 133. The Law Amendment Monitoring Unit 123 periodically accesses the Second Web, which contains export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format), and periodically monitors whether or not there have been any amendments to the export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format. The access destination is the URL registered in the "URL" item in the Domestic Export-Related Laws and Regulations DB 111.

[0052] If the determination in step S30 determines that there has been an amendment to the export-related laws and regulations (step S30: Yes), the amended export-related laws and regulations are obtained (step S31). This is done by the law amendment response unit 134. If the law amendment response unit 124 determines, as a result of monitoring by the law amendment monitoring unit 133, that there has been an amendment to the export-related laws and regulations described in the fourth format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) (step S30: Yes), it obtains the amended export-related laws and regulations (export-related laws and regulations described in the fourth format) from the second WEB (step S31).

[0053] Next, the revised export-related laws and regulations obtained in step S31 (export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format) are converted (step S32). This is done by the legal revision response unit 124 (an example of the export-related law conversion unit of the present invention). The legal revision response unit 124 converts the export-related laws and regulations written in the fourth format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) into export-related laws and regulations written in the fifth format (for example, the format of the export-related laws and regulations of the department) (an example of the export-related law conversion unit of the present invention).

[0054] Next, the revised export-related laws converted in step S32 are registered (stored) in the domestic export-related laws DB 111 (step S33). This is done by the export-related laws registration unit 128.

[0055] Next, the applicability determination result is read from the applicability determination history DB115 (step S34). This is done by the legal revision response unit 124.

[0056] Next, the products affected by the legal revisions are identified from the classification determination results read in step S34 (step S35). This is done by the legal revision response unit 124. For example, the legal revision response unit 124 identifies products (one or more products) whose determination date registered in the "Determination Date" item in the classification determination history DB 115 is older than the effective date of the revised export-related laws and regulations as products affected by the legal revisions.

[0057] Next, the product identified in step S35 is subjected to a determination process to determine whether it is a product or not (step S36).

[0058] Next, the details of the applicability determination process (step S36) will be described. This process is mainly performed by the applicability determination unit 125.

[0059] Figure 9 is a detailed flowchart of the applicability determination process (step S36). The following processes are mainly performed by the applicability determination unit 125.

[0060] The following assumes that the following items have been pre-registered: Domestic Export-Related Laws DB111, Parts Information DB113, Product Information DB114, and Applicability Determination History DB115.

[0061] First, in step S35, it is determined whether or not the product identified as being affected by the legal revision (hereinafter also referred to as the target product) is undergoing a compliance determination for the first time (step S10). Step S10 is an example of the first determination unit of the present invention. This determination is made based on the item "Compliance Determination Number" in the product information DB114. For example, if the target product is a newly released product, the compliance determination number for the target product is not registered in the item "Compliance Determination Number" in the product information DB114, and since it is necessary to perform a compliance determination for the target product, which is a newly released product, it is determined that this is the first compliance determination for the target product (step S10: Yes). On the other hand, if the compliance determination number for the target product is registered in the item "Compliance Determination Number" in the product information DB114, it is determined that this is not the first compliance determination for the target product, since a compliance determination has already been performed for the target product (step S10: No).

[0062] If the determination result in step S10 determines that this is the first time the product is being assessed for applicability (step S10: Yes), then the part information of the various components that make up the product is read from the parts information DB 113 (step S11). The various components that make up the product (hereinafter also referred to as the target components) can be identified by referring to the product information DB 114.

[0063] Next, it is determined whether the classification of the target part read in step S11 was made before the amendment of the law (step S12). This is done by comparing the item "Determination Date" in the part information read in step S11 with the item "Effective Date" in the domestic export-related laws DB111, and making a determination based on the result of that comparison.

[0064] If the determination in step S12 is found to be based on the prior legal amendment (step S12: Yes), then it is determined whether the compliance determination information for the target part is available on the first WEB (web page) (step S13). This determination is based on whether a URL is registered in the "URL" field in the parts information DB113. For example, if a URL is registered in the "URL" field in the parts information DB113, it is determined that the compliance determination information for the target part is available on the first WEB (web page). On the other hand, if the compliance determination information for the target part is not available on the first WEB (web page), it is determined that the compliance determination information for the target part is not available on the first WEB (web page).

[0065] If, as a result of the determination in step S13, it is determined that the applicability determination information for the target part is available on the first WEB (web page) (step S13: Yes), that is, if the URL of the target part is registered in the item "URL" in the part information DB113, the applicability determination information conversion process is performed (step S14).

[0066] Here, we will explain the process of converting the applicable / unapplicable information.

[0067] Figure 10 is a flowchart of the process for converting the eligibility determination information.

[0068] First, the conformity determination information posted on the first WEB (web page) is obtained (step S140). This is done by the conformity determination information acquisition unit 126. The conformity determination information acquisition unit 126 accesses the first WEB where conformity determination information (for example, A company product conformity information) written in a first format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) is posted, and obtains the conformity determination information written in the first format from the first WEB (an example of the first conformity determination information acquisition unit of the present invention). The access destination is a URL registered (stored) in the item "URL" in the parts information DB 113.

[0069] Next, the conformity determination information obtained in step S140 is converted (step S141). This is done by the conformity information conversion unit 121. The conformity information conversion unit 121 converts the conformity determination information, which is written in the first format obtained in step S140, into conformity determination information written in the second format (for example, the format of conformity determination information for the own department) (an example of the first conformity information conversion unit of the present invention).

[0070] Next, the conformity determination information converted in step S141 is registered (stored) in the parts information DB113 (step S142). This is done by the conformity determination information registration unit 127. In Figure 5, the four items enclosed in thick rectangles are examples of the converted conformity determination information that is registered in the parts information DB113 in step S142.

[0071] Next, we will return to Figure 9 and continue to explain the process for determining whether or not a product is applicable.

[0072] On the other hand, if the determination in step S13 determines that the classification information for the target part is not available on the first WEB (web page) (step S13: No), that is, if the URL of the target part is not registered in the "URL" item in the part information DB 113, the classification information for the target part is obtained (manually entered) from the terminal device 200 and the obtained classification information is registered (stored) in the part information DB 113 (step S15).

[0073] The processes in steps S12 to S15 are performed for all target parts (one or more target parts) that make up the target product. As a result, the applicability determination information of the target parts according to the revised law (latest law) is registered in the part information DB113.

[0074] Next, retrieve the latest export-related laws and regulations from the domestic export-related laws and regulations database (DB111) (step S16).

[0075] Next, the applicability determination information of the target parts is performed using export-related laws and regulations (step S17). This is done by the applicability determination unit 115. The applicability determination unit 115 performs the applicability determination using the applicability determination information of various parts read by the law revision response unit 134, and the export-related laws and regulations described in the fifth format (revised export-related laws and regulations) read by the law revision response unit 134.

[0076] Next, the result of the compliance determination performed in step S17 is registered (stored) in the compliance determination history DB115 as the compliance determination result for the target product (step S18).

[0077] On the other hand, if the determination in step S10 determines that this is not the first time the product has been subjected to a compliance determination process (step S10: No), then it is determined whether the compliance determination for the product was made before the amendment of the law (step S19). Step S19 is an example of the second determination unit of the present invention. This unit compares the item "Determination Date" in the compliance determination history DB115 with the item "Effective Date" in the domestic export-related laws and regulations DB111 and makes a determination based on the result of the comparison.

[0078] If the determination in step S19 is found to be that the product in question was subject to the law before the amendment (step S19: Yes), then the processes in steps S13 to S18 above are executed.

[0079] On the other hand, if the determination in step S19 is determined to be based on the revised law (step S19: No), the determination result for the target product is obtained from the determination history DB115 (step S20).

[0080] Next, we will explain the import information conversion process.

[0081] Figure 11 is a flowchart of the import information conversion process.

[0082] First, the classification determination information for imported goods is obtained (step S50). This is done by the classification determination information acquisition unit 126. The classification determination information acquisition unit 126 obtains part information and classification determination information written in a third format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format) from the imported goods documents that contain the classification determination information written in a third format (for example, an example of the second classification determination information acquisition unit). Imported goods documents include, for example, delivery slips, invoices, receipts, and quotations for parts.

[0083] Next, the compliance determination information obtained in step S50 is converted (step S51). This is done by the import information conversion unit 122. The import information conversion unit 122 converts the part information and compliance determination information obtained in step S50, which is written in a third format (for example, PDF file format or CSV file format), into part information and compliance determination information written in a second format (for example, the compliance determination information format of the own department) (an example of the second compliance information conversion unit of the present invention).

[0084] Next, the conformity determination information converted in step S51 is registered (stored) in the parts information DB113 (step S52). In Figure 5, the four items enclosed in thick rectangles are examples of the converted conformity determination information that is registered in the parts information DB113 in step S52. The conformity determination information registered here is used, for example, in the conformity determination process shown in Figure 9.

[0085] As explained above, according to the second embodiment, the applicability determination information can be obtained without manual intervention, and the obtained applicability determination information can be entered without manual intervention. In other words, there is no need to obtain the applicability determination information manually.

[0086] This is because the compliance determination information acquisition unit 126 automatically acquires compliance determination information (for example, see the compliance information for Company A's product in Figure 2) from the first web where the compliance determination information is posted (step S140), the compliance information conversion unit 121 automatically converts the format of the acquired compliance determination information (step S141), and the converted compliance determination information is automatically registered (stored) in the parts information DB 113 (step S142). As a result, if compliance determination information for various types of parts that make up a product is published on the first web, that parts information and compliance determination information can be used for compliance determination.

[0087] Furthermore, according to the second embodiment, the compliance determination information acquisition unit 126 automatically acquires part information and compliance determination information from the import document (for example, an electronically filed document) (step S50), the import information conversion unit 122 automatically converts the acquired compliance determination information (step S51), and the converted compliance determination information is automatically registered (stored) in the part information DB 113 (step S52).

[0088] This also allows for the acquisition of compliance determination information without manual intervention, and the input of that acquired compliance determination information without manual intervention. In other words, it eliminates the need to manually obtain compliance determination information. Furthermore, if the components that make up the product are imported, the component information and compliance determination information obtained from the import documents can be used for compliance determination.

[0089] Furthermore, according to the second embodiment, the legal amendment monitoring unit 133 monitors whether or not there have been any amendments to export-related laws and regulations (step S30), and if there have been amendments to export-related laws and regulations (step S30: Yes), the applicability determination information can be updated (steps S13 to S15).

[0090] This allows for the automatic completion of product classification determination by the effective date of the revised export-related laws and regulations.

[0091] If amendments to export-related laws are enacted a certain period after their publication, and there are many products that need to be re-determined as to whether they fall under the category of exports, the person in charge of determining whether an export falls under the category must perform a large number of determinations within that period, which places a heavy burden on that person.

[0092] In contrast, according to the second embodiment, the legal amendment monitoring unit 133 monitors whether or not there have been any amendments to export-related laws and regulations (step S30), and if there have been amendments to export-related laws and regulations (step S30: Yes), it automatically updates the applicability determination information (steps S13 to S15), and automatically performs applicability determination using the updated applicability determination information and the updated export-related laws and regulations (step S17).

[0093] This reduces the workload of those responsible for determining whether a product is subject to export regulations. Furthermore, export-related laws and regulations are regularly monitored, and when these regulations are amended, products that have already been determined as subject to export regulations are re-evaluated. In the examples described above, the program includes a set of instructions (or software code) that, when loaded into a computer, cause the computer to perform one or more of the functions described in the embodiments. The program may be stored on a non-temporary computer-readable medium or a physical storage medium. Examples, but not limited to, include random-access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), flash memory, solid-state drive (SSD) or other memory technologies, CD-ROM, digital versatile disc (DVD), Blu-ray® disc or other optical disc storage, magnetic cassette, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices. The program may be transmitted over a temporary computer-readable medium or a communication medium. Examples, but not limited to, include temporary computer-readable medium or a communication medium that includes electrically, optically, acoustically or otherwise propagating signals.

[0094] This disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and may be modified as appropriate without departing from its spirit. Furthermore, this disclosure may be implemented by combining the respective embodiments as appropriate. [Explanation of Symbols]
