BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates generally to providing legal knowledge via the Internet.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a system for providing legal information specific to a corporation via the Internet.

We live every day in a world of complex legal issues. These issues have many implications for various activities, both personal and corporate. It is important for corporations and their employees to access legal information in order to minimize legal costs and losses resulting from illegal activities.

Often corporate employees have general questions about the law, which can be answered in several types of handbooks. But the law is constantly changing, and the handbook must keep up with the latest advances in law. Therefore, this handbook must be constantly revised at considerable expense. In addition, the handbook is cumbersome and, due to its complexity, may be underutilized. The handbook is limited to the kind of information it can contain, and for questions not covered by the handbook, it is not easy to get the employee to the right source.

By introducing the Internet, information can be updated as soon as the law is changed. In addition, all types of links between various content areas can generate informative sources of information, allowing users to quickly find information on legal issues. In addition to text, information can be provided in a variety of formats including audio, images and animation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention seeks to link the benefits of the Internet to the complex legal needs of corporations. The present invention is a system and method for electronic distribution of legal information.
This information is distributed to the user terminals via the server on the computer network. In one embodiment of the invention, legal information is stored in a legal information database coupled to the server. User information is stored in an authenticated user database that is also connected to the server. The server customizes the legal information based on the information in the authenticated user database, and transmits the customized information to the user terminal.

In one embodiment, the legal information is divided into modules, which are
Combined to form customized legal information, and the combined modules are sent by the server to the user terminal. Each module may include tutorials, quizzes, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), lists of tips, related information, handbooks, and links to additional sources of information. tutorial,
The quizzes, FAQs, tips list, related information, handbooks, and links to additional sources are all customizable based on user information in the authenticated user database.

In one embodiment, the user is authenticated before accessing the information. In one embodiment, the server receives the username and password from the user. The server compares the received username and password with the username and password stored in the authenticated user database and finds a match. Once the user is authenticated, everything that interacts with the user can be tracked in the tracking database. In one embodiment, each module, lesson and test provided by the server to the user terminal is tracked. The data in the tracking database is reported to users and third parties.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the server provides a test for legal knowledge to the user terminal. The user receives the test and submits the test result to the server. The server tracks the test results and stores the test results in a tracking database coupled to the server. The test results may be reported to users and third parties, as well as other data in the tracking database.

In one embodiment, the user's legal information can be determined by the user's employer. Alternatively, the user may select the legal information provided to them by presenting the user's duties, preferences and interests to the server. Alternatively, the user may enter his professional management level. The server selects legal information for the user based on the user's duties, preferences, interests, and management level.

These and other features and advantages of the present invention will be better understood with reference to the following detailed description when considered with reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A system for a legal information distribution system according to one embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. The system of FIG. 1 includes multiple user devices 2 coupled to information servers 222a-222m through one or more telecommunications interfaces.
20a to 220n. In the embodiment described below, the telecommunications interface comprises the Internet, but in alternative embodiments, the telecommunications interface comprises an intranet or other computer-to-computer interface.

The Internet has recently become popular due to the rapid success of the World Wide Web (WWW). This web is different from all over the world on different computers and different topics in a web where there is a discontinuity of relevance such that users can browse from one topic to another, regardless of format and order of topics. To link. Users access and browse using web browsers that commonly exist and run on their computers. Commercially available web browsers such as Netscape Navigator® and Microsoft Internet Explorer® are very common and accessible by users of personal computers (PCs). A web browser allows a user to search and process hypermedia content, including text, audio, images and other types of data, from a network of computers within the web. This hypermedia content is stored on various websites.

A website is a location on a server computer that can be accessed through the Internet. Various information, such as hypermedia content and databases, can be stored on the website and also accessible to the user on a computer connected to the Internet.
One of the web's applications is the ability to link websites to databases so that users can retrieve information. In essence, the website allows the user interface (UI) to the data application to allow the user to select search criteria and perform a search of a database residing on a remote computer. To post a page, a website requires a server (host computer) and server software running on the server. The host computer manages the communication protocol and houses the pages and related software required to create a website on the Internet.
A host computer spread throughout the Internet can host a variety of websites.

The Internet operates on a client / server model. In this model, the client computer communicates with the server computer where the information resides, and the client computer relies on the server to convey the required information and services. These services involve retrieving information and returning it to the client, such as when a database on the web is queried. Other examples of these services deliver web pages through a website and process incoming and outgoing email. Typically, the client
You are a PC user who uses a browser to connect to and search the server. A server (also known as a host) is typically a more powerful computer that houses data and databases. The client / server model can be viewed as an unlimited file storage medium distributed among thousands of host computers, all accessible by individual PC users.

Websites and hosts that make up the World Wide Web must have unique locations to enable client computers to locate and retrieve information and web pages. For example, a unique identifier for a host computer is called an IP (Internet Protocol) address, and a unique identifier for a website (web page) is a URL.
It is called (Uniform Resource Locator). The URL indicates where the host computer is located, the location of the website on the host, and the file type of each document in the name of the web page and other information.

Home users and small business users connect to the Internet through Internet service providers using modems and landline or cable networks. Wireless and satellite connections are also possible. Large corporations typically access the Internet through their private computer networks, with appropriate safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to the company's private network.

FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a typical Internet client / server environment used by users and servers in one embodiment of the invention. The user devices 220a-220n used by the user have communication links 233.
It is connected to the Internet 221 through a to 233n.

Optionally, the local network 234 is connected to the user device 220a.
User devices 220a-22, such as a connection between the Internet and the Internet 221.
Serves as a connection between some of the 0n. Servers 222a-22
The 2 meters are also connected to the Internet 221 via their respective communication links. Servers 222a-222m include information and databases accessible by user devices 220a-220n. In one embodiment of the invention,
A database for storing legal information resides on at least one of the servers 222a-222m, and a user may use the user device 220a-2 to obtain legal information.
It is accessible using one or more of the 20n.

In one embodiment of the invention, each of the user devices 220a-220n typically includes a central processing unit (CPU) 2 for processing and managing data.
23, a keyboard 224 and a mouse 225 for inputting data.
A main memory 227 such as a random access memory (RAM), a video memory 228 for storing images, and a mass storage device 231 such as a hard disk for storing data and programs are also included in a typical user device. The video data from the video memory 228 is displayed on the display screen 230 by the video amplifier 229 under the control of the CPU 223. A communication device 232, such as a modem, provides access to the internet 221.
Optionally, one or more of user devices 220a-220n may be connected to local network 234. Input / output (I / O) device 226 reads data from various data sources and outputs the data to various data destinations.

The servers (hosts) 222a to 222m are also computers and usually have a structure similar to that of the user devices 220a to 220n. In general, a server differs from a user device in that it can handle multiple telecommunication connections at the same time. Servers typically have more storage and memory capacity and faster processors. Some server (host) systems may actually be inter-linked computers, each handling an incoming web page request. In one embodiment, each server 222a-222m has a storage medium 236a-236m, such as a hard disk, CD drive or DVD, for loading computer software. When loading software, such as software performing the processes of FIGS. 2-17, onto the server 222a, the various modules of the software are distributed to the various servers 222a-222m by off-the-shelf web management software or load balancing software. You may do it. The server can utilize an operating system such as DOS, Microsoft Windows® or Linux.
The server may use off-the-shelf or open source software for generating and servicing web pages. In one embodiment, the server uses Apache to generate and serve web pages. The page generation software, for example, generates web pages having Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and Javascript components. In addition, the server is Checkpoi
By using a firewall, such as the one generated by nt, you can protect yourself from unauthorized access.

Accordingly, in one embodiment, a computer program for carrying out the invention resides on one or more servers. A database for performing the processes of Figures 2-17 can be created, maintained and edited with various types of database software such as Access, FoxPro and Oracle. In one embodiment of the invention, the database software is Oracle8. x.

A typical website location 235 is shown at server 222a in FIG. The website 235 is a UI for accessing the database described below. The website 235 has a single address used by the user to access the server 222a illustrated herein and the website location on the server 22a. Also, computer software for implementing the method of the present invention may reside on website 235.

A schematic of the method of using the system is shown in FIG. First, the user
The system can be accessed by the user's own authentication (see box 30). The user is then given a list of selectable modules, including instructions for self-progress within each module (see box 32). When the user selects a module, the user is given a selectable list of lessons and review quizzes (
See box 34). When the user selects a module, the user is prompted to select a chapter within that module from a list of chapters (see box 36). When the user is ready, the user conducts a review test for that module (see box 38) and, if successful, obtains the module. Also,
Users are free to change modules, lessons and chapters at any time.

In one of the embodiments, the system is built around a company's particular website. This website is password protected so that only authorized individuals within the company can access it internally. A database of authenticated users, including the authenticated user's personal information, is accessible by the server. The database of authenticated users contains usernames and passwords for all authenticated users.

Also, in one embodiment of the invention, a corporation provides information about employees who are expected to access the server to create a database of authenticated users. In the first embodiment, the corporation loads user information into a data file,
Send the data file to the registration server. The data file is, for example, a user ID, password, first and last name, middle initial, email address, employee I.
D, and additional content created by other legal entities. The corporation may derive this data file from the data file of an employee of an existing corporation. Also,
This data file is designated to indicate whether to add, modify, revoke or delete employees in existing files. The registration server creates a database of authenticated users from this data file. In the first embodiment, the employee user does not have the authority to change his / her own personal information, and the personal information to be changed later is also performed via the data file.

Guidelines are provided for data files in order to be able to be sufficiently processed by the registration server so that the data file becomes a database of correctly authenticated users. When the registration server receives the data file, the registration server checks the data file so that the guideline is followed. First, check the specified guideline of an arbitrary file, and if there is no problem, the guideline of data is checked. If all the guidelines are not followed, the data file is returned to the user with the fact that the guidelines were not followed.

In the second embodiment, initial registration is performed via a data file described later.
However, new employees can self-register via the self-registration page provided to the user by the server. The new user may be prompted to enter corporate credentials to authenticate the registration. Furthermore, an existing employee user may be given the authority to change his / her own personal information. Therefore, the later changes may be made by the data file, the new user may be added by himself, or the personal information of the new user may be changed by the existing user.

In the third embodiment, each user self-registers via a self-registration page given to the user by the server. With regard to the method of user registration, once registered, the use of all websites is performed as described below.

To further provide information about all authenticated users, the legal entity selects the information modules available to the authenticated user. Further, the corporation can change the appearance and impression of the website and teach the user of the information. Furthermore, the corporation can select a specific message to be displayed to the user when an event such as passage of a module occurs.

As shown in FIG. 3, the website has an introductory screen for communicating the location of the viewer and the scheduled opening of the site. The introduction screen is a hot-link button 10 for registered users that gives a login screen to the user when selected as shown in FIG.
have. If the system is built to let new users self-register, the introduction screen also has a hotlink button (not shown) for the new user to press. When the user presses the new user button, the server creates a new user input page and sends the input page to the new user. The new user data input page allows the user to input, for example, a user ID, password, first name, middle initial, last name, e-mail address and the like.

As shown in FIG. 4, the login page according to one embodiment of the present invention has a user name input box 12 in which the user inputs a pre-assigned user name. Further, the login page has a password input box 14,
In the input box 14, the user inputs a password that is determined and assigned in advance. After the user enters the username and password, the user presses the login button.

An outline of a user name and password authentication method is shown in FIG. When the user presses the login button on the login page, the server gets the username from the username input box and the password from the password entry box (box 4
0). The username connects to the server and is compared with the username in the authenticated user database (see box 42). If the username is not found in the authenticated user database, the server creates a login page and resends the user, prompting the user to enter another username and password. If the username is found in the authenticated user database, the found username is compared to the password stored in the database on the server (box 44). If the password does not match the password stored in the authenticated user database, the server creates a login page and resends it to the user, prompting the user to enter another username and password. If the password matches the correct password stored in the authenticated user database connected to the server, the system creates a module page and sends the module page to the user.

In another embodiment of the invention, a new user who is not a member of a pre-registered corporation will self-register using the system. The data of the new user causes the user to input, for example, a user ID, a password, a first name, a middle initial, a last name, and an electronic mail address. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the new user data entry page provides the user with a list of checkboxes. The user bears the responsibility of the user, ie the responsibility of wanting to know more information.
As a result, the system can create a publication to be given to the user based on the user's responsibility and intention.

In one of the embodiments of the current invention, the obligation to be given the choices that the user can choose is to survey authorized employees, communicate with competitors, communicate with recording media, perform system performance assessments, Contracts with transferors, transactions with government officials, transactions with employees of foreign companies, transactions with employees of domestic companies, product / service pricing, contracts, coordination with government administrators, security analysts Coordination, interviews with unofficial employees, market pricing,
Purchasing price determination, contract negotiation, corporate security authorization, maintaining relationships with industry, requesting advice from legal counsel, cooperating with other company's board of directors, cooperating with your company's board of directors, setting purchasing price guidelines , Employee dismissals, testimony at government agencies, buying and selling corporate security.

As shown in FIG. 7, the new user data input page may be another list in which the user can select his / her management level (position, etc.). In one embodiment of the current invention, the user can select a director, middle manager, manager or staff. This allows the service to be adapted to legal information for the types of responsibilities that may occur depending on the user's management level.

Once the user has selected his obligations and the job titles he is given, he can request information from the system. In one embodiment, the system obtains a database of modules indexed by the occupation associated with the module and the job title given. Once the user selection is presented, the system selects the module and displays the module by the reader on the module list page. The module list page displays a list of modules applicable to the user based on the selected job duties and job titles, and the user is given the opportunity to select the module for more detailed information.

Regardless of whether the user is a regular employee of a corporation that has selected a module that can be used, or is an individual who has selected a module based on responsibility, industry or position,
The user provides a module list on the module page as shown in Figures 8a and 8b. In one embodiment, the system can keep track of which modules a particular user has seen, and whether the user has acquired a given module. In one embodiment, the system tracks modules seen by a particular user by frequently updating a tracking database linked to an authenticated user database. The tracking database is
Contains one field for all modules, the first rating if the user did not see the module, the second rating if the user did not see a part of the module, and the module It includes the third evaluation in the case of not completing. When the server does not build the module page, the server also checks the tracking database to indicate if the user next to the module saw the module, started it, or ended it.

According to the user's selection of one of the modules on the module list page,
The system is created and gives the user a module overview page as shown in FIG. The module overview page contains a brief overview page for the legal area and gives the user the option to know more about this area. The module overview page is for contacting attorneys with tutorials, review quizzes, handbook entries, frequently asked questions in this area, a top ten list of important things to remember about the module, and issues specific to this area about special issues. Contains links to available sources, including links, and links to third party sources. If the user visits a company's customized website, it will also include a link to the company policy for this area. In an additional embodiment, the module overview page includes links to quizzes included within the tutorial.

In one embodiment, the server creates a tutorial introduction page and sends it to the user when the user selects a tutorial from the module overview page, as shown in FIG. The tutorial introduction page provides links to all lessons and the user can skip to relevant areas. The system also provides review quizzes for each module and links to review quizzes can be found on the tutorial introduction page.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the question in the review quiz is a multiple-choice choice, and the user simply selects the letter of the answer that he / she thinks is correct. In another embodiment of the current invention, the question only states right or wrong. In yet another embodiment, the review quiz combines both multiple-branch selection and right / wrong selection question formats.

In another embodiment of the invention, the system keeps track of whether the user has been accessed, partially completed, or completed each lesson or quiz in a given tutorial. This is done by the system frequently updating tracking databases that are linked to authenticated users.

The tracking database contains fields for lessons of all modular fields, each field giving a first rating if the user did not see the lesson and if the user saw only part of the lesson. A second assessment and a third assessment if the user has fully viewed the lesson can be included. The tracking database also contains a field for each quiz within each module. For each quiz in the tracking database, a rating that indicates that the user did not take the quiz, took the quiz, did not answer the quiz correctly, and answered the quiz correctly, and the number of questions the user answered the quiz correctly. And the percentage of questions the user has answered correctly in the quiz. In the conventional judgment, a predetermined number of questions had to be answered correctly in order to pass the review quiz for each module. The number of questions is programmed in the server and the actual score obtained by the user is compared to the passing score to get a rating for the tracking database. In one embodiment, the wrong score was not counted. In other embodiments, the user may retake the review quiz within a prescribed number of times.

Prior to building the tutorial overview page, the server checks the tracking database to see which lessons were seen and whether the quiz was taken and completed. As the server builds the tutorial overview page, each lesson and quiz, and then the server shows the user's progress for each lesson and quiz. In another embodiment of the invention, the server stores the amount of time a user spends on a given lesson and module and saves the amount of time in a tracking database.

When the user selects a particular lesson, the system generates a page showing the chapters in the lesson as shown in FIG. 11 and sends the user a chapter selection, so that the user can select a particular lesson in the lesson. You can skip to chapters. When the user selects a chapter, the server generates a chapter page containing specific information and sends the chapter page to the user. For example, FIG. 12 shows an introduction chapter for the tutorial on the advertisement. The chapter page also contains links to the next or previous chapters, if applicable.

Embodiments of the present invention do not allow a user to adopt a module review quiz until the user has completed each lesson in the module. When the user selects a link from the module menu, the system checks the tracking database to verify that the user has completed all lessons in the module. If the user has not completed all the lessons in the module, the system will return the user to the module introduction image and request that the user complete all lessons before adopting the module review quiz. The error page notified to is generated.

In other embodiments, the user may choose to test other than lessons within a given module. The user cannot select a review quiz without finishing one or more lessons in the module. If the user completes the review quiz completely, the server records the success result of the module review quiz field in the tracking database and places the rating in the module field of the tracking database indicating the module where the module has been completed. .

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the page selected by the user is the handbook entry page. The system constructs a handbook as one large entry with a series of sub-modules that the user jumps to by selecting jump links modularized by services in separate sections of the page.

In another embodiment, the web page selected by the user is a list of frequently asked questions. As you can see in Fig. 14, the FAQ page has
Frequently asked questions about the module are posted. Questions are selected by the user. When the user selects a question, the stem opens a new browser window on the user's computer to generate and send the answer to the user. In one embodiment of the invention, the system organizes a list of frequently asked questions by subtopic,
The user is prompted to select a subtopic related to the question.

In another embodiment shown in FIG. 15, the web page selected by the user contains the top ten things to remember about the module. Things to Remember Ono On contains links to specific tutorials or handbook sections that describe it.

In another embodiment shown in FIG. 16, the module details page selected by the user includes a page showing the company's specific policies that apply with respect to the issue. This page contains a list of policies. In another embodiment of the invention, this page also contains company specific form and document templates relevant to the field of law being investigated.

In another embodiment, the module detail page selected by the user is a page showing links to relevant legal information (FIG. 17). The information is from third party vendors or government websites. The system offers the option of selecting one of these links and directing the browser directly from the legal services website page to the third party site. The system includes links to government agencies, trade associations, and other relevant organizations.

In another embodiment, the module detail page selected by the user is a page showing contact information for the company's internal counsel or external counsel. Alternatively, if the user is an individual, the contact information page may have a link to an agent within the user's area who is an expert in the scope of the law being investigated.

By accessing the data in the tracking database, employers can obtain information about employees who have completed legal training, information about how the site is being used, and which areas of the site they are most interested in. You can get information about what is there. When the user logs in to the system using their username and password, the service tracks the site user's identity by tracking the user's activity.

Access to the data is in the form of reports generated by either the company or individual users. In the first embodiment of the invention, the system generates a report showing the user's activity at each lesson within each available module. In another embodiment, a report is generated showing whether the user has completed the quiz within each available module and the results of the quiz in the form of pass, fail, percentage of correct answers, number of correct answers.

Users with special privileges in the authorized user database are given a hot link to the report management page of the module list page. When the user presses the report management link, the server will generate and send a report management page.
The report management page has hot links to search on several different search criteria. In one embodiment, the user can search the tracking database for information based on some criteria and generate a report for all users.

In another embodiment, the user can obtain a virtual report card showing the status of each lesson and consider the quiz in each module. A user with special privileges can create a virtual report card for another, just like any other user. A user having special authority can search for a specific user by inputting the user's ID or first and last name, for example.

In addition, users with special privileges can output reports from the tracking database to other database software applications. 1
In one embodiment, the output report may include profile information such as the user's ID, first and last name, middle name, email, client specific fields, user registration date, and so on.
