Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional information processing devices for insurance applications burden users with repetitive input of disclosure statements, requiring them to enter similar information multiple times.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device with display control and input control mechanisms that allows users to input disclosure statements once and automatically transfers this information to associated fields, reducing the need for repetitive input.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the system requires users to input disclosure statements for each disclosure item separately, then the information can be collected completely, but the user burden increases due to repetitive input

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser burden for inputVSAvoidcompleteness of information collection
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the copying principle by automatically transferring the disclosure statement input by the user in one input form to other associated input forms. Instead of requiring users to manually re-input the same information multiple times, the system creates copies of the entered data and populates related fields automatically, thereby reducing user burden while ensuring complete information collection across all disclosure items

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-establishing association relationships between multiple disclosure items before the user inputs information. The system pre-configures which disclosure items are related to each other, so that when a user inputs a disclosure statement, the system can automatically identify and transfer the information to all associated items without requiring the user to think about or manually configure these relationships

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Ease of operation

If the system automatically transfers disclosure statements to associated fields, then user burden is reduced, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser burden for inputVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The copying principle is applied to reduce system complexity by using a straightforward data replication mechanism. The system creates copies of the disclosure statement from one input form and transfers them to associated forms through automated processes, avoiding the need for complex data validation, transformation, or manual intervention logic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies universality by creating an association relationship mechanism that can be applied across multiple different disclosure items and input forms. This universal association framework allows the same automatic transfer logic to work for various types of disclosure items (e.g., family medical history, personal medical history, examination results) without requiring separate custom logic for each item type

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Display control means (52) of an information processing device (1) displays, on a screen, respective input forms of plurality of disclosure items relating to a health condition of a policyholder. Receiving means (58) receives input of the disclosure statement in each of the input forms by the user. First input control means (62) inputs the disclosure statement into the input form in which the user has input the disclosure statement. In a case where the user inputs the disclosure statement into one of the input forms of the plurality of disclosure items, second input control means (66) inputs, into the input form, the disclosure statement that is input into the input form of another disclosure item associated with the disclosure item.
