Next, the specific contents of the processing performed in the automatic summary form creation system according to this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a flow of processing performed based on the first editing program 100 of the summary form creation device 1. First, data including information on a plurality of patent cases is read from the above-described source data 3, and processing is started for data for one case (steps S1 and S1 in FIG. 3).
2).

Since the source data 3 read, such as a specification, is generally provided with a tag for identifying the described content, the summary form creation device 1 is included in the read data. The tags are sequentially searched and the meaning of the tags is interpreted (step S3 in FIG. 3). If the tag means bibliographic data, the data described below the tag is recorded in the creation storage means 10 as bibliographic data 101 together with the identification information of the tag (step S4 in FIG. 3). And S5). Similarly, if the tag implies a claim (claim), the data below it is referred to as claim matter data 102, and if the tag implies a drawing such as a selection diagram, the data below it. Is recorded in the creation storage means 10 as the drawing data 103 (steps S6 to S9 in FIG. 3). It should be noted that, instead of the data in the claims, the data of the abstract of the abstract attached to the application may be used as the claim matter data 102. Further, the user of the automatic summary form creation system can select whether the data to be placed on the summary form is data in a claim or data in a summary sentence.

The above processing is repeated sequentially until no tags are found, and the processing for one case is completed (step S10 → S3 in FIG. 3). Each data stored in the above process includes information for identifying the case, for example, a company serial number and an application number of the patent case (hereinafter, referred to as “application number”).
Summary slip NO. ).

When the processing for one case is completed, the processing for the next case is started (step S11 → S2 in FIG. 3), and the same processing as above (steps S3 to S10 in FIG. 3) is performed. Similarly, the process is performed on all cases in the read source data 3, and the process based on the first editing program 100 ends (step S12 in FIG. 3). Thereafter, a process of creating a summary slip based on the second editing program 104 is subsequently performed.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flow of processing performed based on the second editing program 104 of the summary form creation device 1. In this process, there is a method of proceeding with the creation of a plurality of summary form data in parallel. However, here, the process up to the creation of one summary form data will be described.

First, the bibliographic data 101, the complaint data 102, and the drawing data 103 generated by the processing based on the first editing program 100 are read (step S1 in FIG. 4), and the same summary slip is read from among them. No.
Is extracted (steps S2 to S2 in FIG. 4).
S4). At the time of extraction from the bibliographic data 101, based on the identification information included in the bibliographic data 101, only the data to be described in the abstract, such as the name of the invention, the inventor, and the application number,
The summary slip data is extracted in an order according to a predetermined format as illustrated in FIG. 2 (step S2 in FIG. 4).

When extracting from the claim item data 102, data within the maximum number of characters that can be inserted into the predetermined format is extracted (step S3 in FIG. 4). If the stored data of the entire claim is less than the maximum number of characters, all data is extracted.If the data is more than the maximum number of characters, the data from the first claim to the claim containing the full text of the claim is extracted. Extract. If the first (first) claim itself does not fit, only the maximum number of characters is extracted.

When extracting from the drawing data 103, a process for reducing / enlarging the stored image data of the drawing so that the extracted drawing is inserted in a size suitable for the predetermined format. (Step S in FIG. 4)
4). More specifically, image processing is performed in which the number of vertical and horizontal pixels of the image data approaches the number of pixels prepared in a predetermined format without changing the vertical and horizontal ratios.

When each data is extracted as described above, the data is sequentially inserted into the format data of the prepared summary voucher to complete the summary voucher data (step S5 in FIG. 4). The created data is the summary form data 105
Is stored in the creation storage means 10 (step S6 in FIG. 4). Although one summary form data is generated by the above processing, the same processing is performed for all the cases included in the data to be processed (101 to 103), and a plurality of summary form data corresponding to each case are performed. Is created.

Next, the above-described index data is created for the generated summary slip data (step S7 in FIG. 4). As described above, the index data preliminarily associates the items of the search condition used at the time of the search with the summary slip data, and FIG. 5 shows an example thereof. (A) of the figure
Is an example of index data in which IPC (international patent classification) numbers are associated with abstracts of inventions belonging to the IPC, and (b) in the figure shows a factory name of the company and the name of the factory. 6 is an example of index data that associates a summary vote relating to the invention. As the data representing the summary slip, the summary slip NO. Are used.

By creating the index data, it is possible to perform a search process described later in a short time. For example, when the IPC is XXX / ... and a search is made for a summary slip of a case made in the factory A, FIG.
In the example shown in FIG. 5, the summary slip No. recorded for XXX /. And the summary slip No. recorded for the factory A in (b). The search can be performed by a process of finding a common summary slip No. from the above. Therefore, it is not necessary to search all the summary slip data 105.

When the index data items such as IPC are not included in the summary slip data during the process of creating the index data, the bibliographic data 101 is searched by the summary slip No. Done. The created index data is stored in the creating storage means 10 as the summary index data 106 (step S8 in FIG. 4).

Through the processing in the summary form creation apparatus 1 described above, the summary form data 105 and the summary form index data 106 for all the cases included in the source data 3 to be processed are completed. Therefore, by using the automatic summary-sheet creation system, the summary sheet can be automatically created in a short time without any need for manual operations, and the summary sheet can be generated as digital data in a predetermined format. Therefore, the appearance is good, and the usage of the summary form is improved.

Since the contents of the summary form once created may be changed, it is necessary to appropriately update the summary form data 105 and the summary form index data 106 based on data such as a procedure amendment. There is. This updating process is also performed in the same processing flow as the above-described creation process, but finally in the process of creating summary form data (step S5 in FIG. 4) and the process of creating index data (step S7 in FIG. 4). In, the addition / change processing to the already created data is performed instead of the processing to create new data.

Next, the contents of the processing performed by the summary form search device 4 based on the summary form search program 400 will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the processing flow. As described above, the summary slip search device 4 is a device provided for the in-company client 5 to search and browse the created summary slip data 105, and operates when requested by the in-company client 5. . FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen displayed on the display device of the in-company client 5 when searching for a summary slip. First, the company client 5 requests the summary slip search device 4 to search and browse the summary slip by a predetermined operation (step S1 in FIG. 6). In response to the request, the summary slip search device 4 displays a screen for selecting a search condition on the display device of the in-company client 5 (FIG. 6).
Step S2). FIG. 7A shows an example of the screen. Next, in the in-company client 5,
The search condition is input on this screen (step S3 in FIG. 6). In the input operation, in addition to typing in arbitrary data in the corresponding column of the item used as a search condition,
It is also performed by selecting data from candidate data prepared for each item.

When the search condition is input, the summary slip search device 4 creates a search condition formula according to the search condition (step S4 in FIG. 6), and the summary slip index data 106 stored in the summary slip creation device 1 (Step S5 in FIG. 6), and the summary slip NO. Is extracted (step S6 in FIG. 6). The extracted result is displayed on the in-company client 5 as a search result list (step S7 in FIG. 6). FIG. 7C shows a display example of the search result list. The name of the invention corresponding to the summary slip No. is as follows.
The extracted summary slip NO. Of the summary slip data 105 based on the

Before displaying the search result list (c in FIG. 7), for two types of search items, the number of summary slips extracted in a search by a combination of the values of the search items is shown in a table format. A patent map (cross tabulation table) can be created and displayed. FIG. 7B is a diagram showing an example of the patent map. In this example, the number of summary slips extracted by a search based on a combination of the two search items “IPC” and “factory” is displayed. For example, "IP
The condition that “C” is “ZZZ /...” And “factory” is “A” indicates that five summary slips correspond to the condition.

When the patent map is displayed, two types of search items for creating a patent map (“IPC” in the example of FIG. 7) are displayed on the screen (a in FIG. 7) for selecting the search condition. And “factory”), respectively,
A plurality of values (FIG. 7) to be used as search conditions are designated in the “Y-axis” column and entered in the condition input columns (the “factory” and “IPC” columns in the example of FIG. 7) of the two types of search items. In the example, "A, B,
C, D, ... "," XXX / ..., YYY / ..., ZZZ /
.. "). When the search result list (c in FIG. 7) is displayed from the displayed patent map, a cell of the search condition for which the list is to be displayed (for example, x in FIG. 7)
Can be performed by selecting.

Next, the in-company client 5 selects a summary slip to be viewed from the displayed search result list (step 8 in FIG. 6). In the example shown in FIG. 7C, for example, when the user wants to view the summary slip of “2000-002”, the Y section is selected. According to the instruction, the summary slip search device 4 extracts the corresponding summary slip data from the summary slip data 105 stored in the summary slip creation device 1 (step 9 in FIG. 6), and transmits it to the enterprise client 5. (Step 10 in FIG. 6). The transmitted summary form data is displayed on the display screen of the in-company client 5 (step 11 in FIG. 6, b in FIG. 7). When outputting the displayed summary form to paper, the summary form is output from the printing device 6 or the like by a predetermined operation (step 12 in FIG. 6).

As described above, by using the summary slip search device 4, researchers and patents in a company can
It is possible to freely search and browse the summary slip from the client system at the user's seat (intra-company client 5) via the intra-company network 2, and the summary slip can be effectively used. Further, since the search processing is performed using the prepared summary index data 106, the response is fast. When a search is performed using search conditions that are not prepared as index data, the summary slip search device 4 makes an inquiry to the summary slip data 105 and the in-company bibliographic data 33 to execute the search. .

The summary form data created by the summary form creation device 1 is also used as information on an externally disclosed patent as described above. Summary slip data 10 created in the company
5, the summary slip data of a case that can be disclosed to the outside is copied as disclosure summary slip data 701 to the disclosure storage means 70 of the disclosure patent device 7 at any time.

When an external client 9 requests retrieval and browsing of a summary slip via the Internet 8, the disclosure patent apparatus 7 operates based on the disclosure summary slip search program 700 and outputs the summary slip data 701 from the disclosure summary slip data 701. The corresponding data is extracted and displayed on the requesting external client 9. The condition setting at the time of the search, the search processing, and the display of the search result are the same as those of the abstract form search device 4 described with reference to FIGS. Although not shown in FIG. 1, index data for search can be prepared for a public patent and stored in the public storage means 70 in advance.

As described above, by using the system for automatically creating a summary form according to the present embodiment, it is possible to automatically generate a summary form in a unified format as digital data in a short time. Can be reduced, and the usage of the summary form can be greatly improved.

Although the present embodiment includes an apparatus for retrieving the created summary slip and an apparatus for publishing the summary slip to the outside, it is also possible to configure the system without these. In addition, the summary form created by the automatic summary form creation system using the present invention is not limited to a summary form relating to a patent application filed from within the company.
