In order to solve the problem that manually writing the claims of the patent application text is time-consuming and labor-consuming in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and an apparatus for generating the patent application text, which can automatically generate the claims of the patent application text according to the technical background text, thereby saving labor and improving writing efficiency of the patent application text.

Example one

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for generating a patent application text, as shown in fig. 1, the method for generating a claim in the patent application text includes the following steps:

step S11: and extracting the title and the next-level title of the title from the technical background text for the title in the technical background text.

Specifically, whether a title of a next level exists is determined for each title in the technical background text, and if yes, the title and the title of the next level are extracted from the technical background text.

The obtained technical background text comprises a multi-level title, and the title of the highest level is the name of the invention or the name of the utility model; optionally, if the title of the highest level of the obtained technical background text is not the name of the invention or the name of the utility model, the technical background text may be preprocessed: extracting all titles of the highest level, determining names capable of summarizing the extracted titles, and adding the summarized names as the highest level to the technical background text.

Specifically, the name of the title capable of being extracted in summary is determined, and the name may be a keyword in the extracted title, and the extracted keyword is combined into a name according to a preset template.

The format of the technical background text can be unstructured, each title is provided with a label for indicating the hierarchical relationship among the titles, so that the next-level label of the label can be determined according to the label of the title, the title is extracted from the technical background text, and the title to which the next-level label belongs is extracted as the next-level title of the title. Optionally, the format of the technical background text may also be a tree structure, and the title and the next-level title of the title are extracted from the technical background text of the tree structure.

Step S12: combining the title with the next level title generates an item of first claim text corresponding to the title.

In one embodiment, may include determining a matching claim generation template based on a type of technical contribution text; and combining the title and the next-level title according to the template to generate a first claim text corresponding to the title.

The types of the technical background texts can be inventions or utility models, the inventions can be divided into methods and products, and the generation templates of the claim texts corresponding to different types are different. Taking the method class in the invention as an example, the claim generation template can be' 1, an … … method, and is characterized by comprising the following steps: … … "for generating the first claim text corresponding to the title of the highest hierarchy level according to the title of the highest hierarchy level and the title of the next hierarchy level (finally generating the independent claim text in the claims). The method of claim x, wherein said … … specifically includes: … … "(… …" in the template is the content to be supplemented when the claim text is generated, "x" is the content to be replaced when the claim text is generated) for generating the first claim text corresponding to the title of the non-highest level (finally, the dependent claim text in the claims is generated), taking the title of the non-highest level as the title a as an example, the first ellipsis in the template can be supplemented with the text corresponding to the title a, and the second ellipsis can be supplemented with the text corresponding to the next-level title of the title a; replacing the second x in the template with the serial number of the claim text corresponding to the upper-level title of the title A; the first x is the serial number of the generated claim text, and x is replaced when the claim is generated in step S14.

Step S13: and determining the reference relation between the texts of the first claims corresponding to the titles according to the hierarchical relation of the titles in the technical background texts.

For example, the titles at the next level of title a are title B, title C, and title D, and the titles at the next level of title B are title E and title F; the first claim text generated according to the title A, the title B, the title C and the title D is the first claim text A corresponding to the title A; the first claim text generated according to the combination of the title B, the title E and the title F is the first claim text B corresponding to the title B; the reference relationship between the first claim text a and the first claim text B is determined from the hierarchical relationship of the title a and the title B, and it is determined that the first claim text a is referred to by the first claim text B because the title a is a title of a previous hierarchical level of the title B.

Step S14: the claims are generated from the first claim text and the reference relationships.

The serial number of the first claim text is determined according to the reference relation, the referred first claim text is arranged in front of the first claim which refers to the first claim text, the determined serial number of the first claim text is replaced with the first x in the corresponding first claim text, and the first claim text is arranged to generate the claims.

The generation method of the patent application text provided by the embodiment of the invention, the generation step of the claims in the patent application text, comprises the following steps: when determining that the title has a next-level title, extracting the title and the next-level title of the title from the technical background text, and combining the title and the next-level title to generate a first claim text corresponding to the title; determining a reference relation between the first claim texts corresponding to the titles according to the hierarchical relation of the titles in the technical background texts; the claims are generated from the first claim text and the reference relationships. The method and the device can automatically generate the claim of the patent application text according to the acquired technical background text, save manpower, improve writing efficiency of the patent application text, and simultaneously avoid the form problem in the claim.

In one embodiment, at least one section of description text with preset characteristics of a title is determined from a technical background text, and the description text is input into a pre-trained text generation model to obtain a second claim text; the second claim text is determined, the first claim text corresponding to the upper-level title of the title to which the description text belongs is referred to, and the second claim text is added to the corresponding position in the claims.

Besides the technical background text comprising multiple levels of titles, at least one title can also be provided with at least one section of description text for describing the title in detail. Therefore, taking the title a as an example, after a first patent application text a corresponding to the title a is generated, if it is determined that at least one section of description text of the title a has a preset feature, for each section of description text having the preset feature, taking the description text B as an example, a description text and a pre-trained text generation model are used to generate a second claim text B. Alternatively, the second claim text may be generated after all the first claim text is generated. The method for generating the text of the second claim is described in detail in the second embodiment.

The description text with the preset characteristics determined above may be a description text marked in advance in the technical background text. Or retrieving each section of description text of the title in the technical background text in a preset database, and determining the similarity between the description text and the database; and determining at least one section of description text with preset characteristics according to the similarity, for example, determining the description text with the similarity lower than a set threshold as the description text with the preset characteristics.

Specifically, the preset feature may be creative, and the applicant may select a descriptive text considered to be creative when inputting the relevant content of the technical submissions, and mark the descriptive text according to the selection of the applicant in the process of generating the technical submissions text according to the technical submissions input by the applicant. Whether the description text has the preset characteristics or not can be judged directly according to whether the description text has the corresponding label or not.

Optionally, the obtained technical background text may also have no label, and whether the description text has the preset feature is determined, which may include retrieving the description text in a preset database, and determining the similarity between the description text and the database; and if the determined similarity is smaller than a preset threshold value, determining that the description text has preset characteristics.

Optionally, it may also be determined whether the description text has the preset feature according to whether there is a label, and for the description text without the label, it is determined whether there is the preset feature according to the similarity search.

The method for determining whether the description text has the preset feature is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

In one embodiment, the method may further include performing word segmentation on the first claim text by using the selected word segmentation model, matching each obtained word with a pre-established knowledge base, and if the matching is successful, replacing the word in the first claim text with a word at a previous level in the knowledge base, which matches the word, or labeling the word in the first claim text with a word at a previous level in the knowledge base, which matches the word. This step can be performed after each first claim text has been generated, after all first claim texts have been generated, or after all first claim texts and second claim texts have been generated. And/or the presence of a gas in the gas,

and performing word segmentation on the second claim text by using the selected word segmentation model, matching each obtained word with a pre-established knowledge base, and if the matching is successful, replacing the word in the second claim text with a word at the previous level matched with the word in the knowledge base, or labeling the word in the second claim text with a word at the previous level matched with the word in the knowledge base. This step may be performed after each second claim text is generated, or may be performed after all second claim texts are generated.

The replacement enables the protection scope of the generated first or second claim text to be enlarged; if not, only the preset position of the corresponding word is marked, so that the writer of the patent application text can conveniently determine which word is more reasonable to select according to the marked word, the trouble of self query of the writer is avoided, or the situation that the writer forgets to write (replaces the corresponding word with a higher hierarchy) so as to strive for a larger protection range is avoided.

Example two

The second embodiment of the present invention provides a specific implementation of a method for generating a claim of a patent application, the flow of which is shown in fig. 2, and the method includes the following steps:

step S201: and extracting the title and the next-level title of the title from the technical background text for the title in the technical background text.

Step S202: combining the title with the next level title generates an item of first claim text corresponding to the title.

Step S203: and determining the reference relation between the texts of the first claims corresponding to the titles according to the hierarchical relation of the titles in the technical background texts.

For each section of description text of each title in the technical background text, steps S204-S210 are performed.

Step S204: and judging whether the description text is marked with preset characteristics.

Specifically, the technical cross-under text may be obtained by labeling the description text in advance according to a selection of a user, for example, the user determines which description text is creative and then selects at which creative part corresponding to the description text is creative, so that in the process of generating the technical cross-under text according to the information input by the user, whether creative labeling is performed on the description text according to the selection of the user may be performed. Whether the description text has the preset characteristics or not can be judged directly according to whether the description text has the corresponding label or not.

If the descriptive text is judged to have the preset feature, executing step S205; otherwise, step S206 is executed.

Step S205: and retrieving the description text in a preset database to obtain a similar document of which the similarity with the description text in the database meets a preset condition.

Step S209 is performed after step S205.

Step S206: and retrieving the description text in a preset database, and determining the similarity between the description text and the database.

Specifically, the highest value of the similarity between the description text and the document in the database may be determined as the similarity between the description text and the database.

Step S207: and judging whether the determined similarity is smaller than a preset threshold value.

If yes, determining that the description text has the preset characteristics, and executing step S208; if not, determining that the description text does not have the preset characteristics.

Step S208: and obtaining a similar document of which the similarity with the description text in the database meets the preset condition.

Step S209: and inputting the description text into a pre-trained text generation model to obtain a second claim text.

In an embodiment, the text generation model may be obtained by training a pointer generation network model and/or a sequence-to-sequence Seq2Seq model using a plurality of obtained data pairs, where the data pairs include a description text and a claim text corresponding to the description text.

Step S210: and determining a second claim text, and referring to the first claim text corresponding to the upper-level title of the title to which the description text belongs to obtain the reference relation between the second claim text and the first claim text.

Step S211: the claims are generated from the first claim text, the second claim text, similar documents and the reference relationships.

Specifically, the reference relationship includes the reference relationship between the first claim texts determined in step S203, and the reference relationship between the second claim texts and the first claim texts determined in step S210.

For convenience in description, the second claim text is referred to as the claim text together with the first claim text.

Similar documents corresponding to claim texts may be added to the claims in the form of labels according to the position of the claim texts in the claims.

Step S212: and performing word segmentation on the claim text by using the selected word segmentation model, matching each obtained word with a pre-established knowledge base, and replacing the word in the claim text with a word at the previous level matched with the word in the knowledge base if the matching is successful.

Alternatively, instead of replacing a word in the claim text, the word in the claim text may be labeled with a word in the previous level in the knowledge base that matches the word. The marked words are used for the user to refer to whether the words need to be modified. Alternatively, not only the word of the previous level matching the selected word may be labeled, but also the words of a plurality of levels of the higher level matching the word in the knowledge base may be labeled at the same time.

The steps in the above flow do not have a strict sequence relationship, and the above sequence of the steps is only an illustration, for example, after a first claim text corresponding to a title is generated, a second claim text corresponding to the title is generated; it is also possible to replace words in the claim text after knowledge base matching each time a first or second claim text is generated.

EXAMPLE III

In one embodiment, the description unit in the data pair is description text or at least one description picture, or a combination of the description text and the description picture. Wherein, the description text can be the technical description text in the technical introduction (the obtained description text written by the applicant from the technical perspective); or converting the technical description text into a claim text which meets the requirements of patent examination guidelines; or the claim text obtained by inputting the technical description text into the second text generation model. The second text generation model is obtained by training a pointer generation network model and/or a sequence-to-sequence Seq2Seq model by using a plurality of acquired second data pairs, and the second data pairs comprise a description text and a claim text corresponding to the description text.

Inputting a description unit into a pre-trained text generation model to obtain an embodiment text segment corresponding to the description unit.

Step S33: the embodiment text segments are combined to generate the embodiment text.

In one embodiment, a matching embodiment text generation template is determined according to the type of technical data; determining the hierarchical structure of the embodiment text segment corresponding to the description unit according to the hierarchical structure of the description unit in the technical data; and combining the embodiment text sections according to the hierarchical structure of the generation template and the embodiment text sections to generate the embodiment text.

Optionally, combining the embodiment text paragraphs to generate an embodiment text, and adding the description units corresponding to the embodiment text paragraphs into the embodiment text together with the embodiment text paragraphs in a preset form, so that a writer of the patent application text can clearly know which description unit each embodiment text paragraph is generated according to when reviewing or modifying the automatically generated embodiment text.

In the method for automatically generating a patent application text provided by the third embodiment of the present invention, the step of automatically generating the embodiment text in the specification in the patent application text includes: decomposing technical data into at least one description unit according to a preset rule; inputting a pre-trained text generation model into each description unit to obtain an embodiment text segment corresponding to the description unit; the embodiment text segments are combined to generate the embodiment text. The specification embodiment text of the patent application text can be automatically generated according to the acquired technical data, so that the labor is saved, the writing efficiency of the patent application text is improved, and the form problem in the specification embodiment text is avoided.

In an embodiment, the method may further include retrieving the description unit in a preset database to obtain a similar document in which the similarity between the description unit and the database meets a preset condition; and adding similar documents into the embodiment text in a labeling mode according to the position of the embodiment text segment corresponding to the description unit in the embodiment text.

The method can enable a writer of the patent application text to refer to a similar document corresponding to each embodiment text segment when looking up or modifying the automatically generated embodiment text segment, further complement and perfect the embodiment text segment, or modify the embodiment text segment and the corresponding claim text, so that the claim text applied for protection is different from the prior art and is creative.

The accompanying method claims present elements of the various steps in a sample order, and are not intended to be limited to the specific order or hierarchy presented.

In the foregoing detailed description, various features are grouped together in a single embodiment for the purpose of streamlining the disclosure. This method of disclosure is not to be interpreted as reflecting an intention that the claimed embodiments of the subject matter require more features than are expressly recited in each claim. Rather, as the following claims reflect, invention lies in less than all features of a single disclosed embodiment. Thus, the following claims are hereby expressly incorporated into the detailed description, with each claim standing on its own as a separate preferred embodiment of the invention.

Those of skill would further appreciate that the various illustrative logical blocks, modules, circuits, and algorithm steps described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented as electronic hardware, computer software, or combinations of both. To clearly illustrate this interchangeability of hardware and software, various illustrative components, blocks, modules, circuits, and steps have been described above generally in terms of their functionality. Whether such functionality is implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. Skilled artisans may implement the described functionality in varying ways for each particular application, but such implementation decisions should not be interpreted as causing a departure from the scope of the present disclosure.

The steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be embodied directly in hardware, in a software module executed by a processor, or in a combination of the two. A software module may reside in RAM memory, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of storage medium known in the art. An exemplary storage medium is coupled to the processor such the processor can read information from, and write information to, the storage medium. Of course, the storage medium may also be integral to the processor. The processor and the storage medium may reside in an ASIC. The ASIC may reside in a user terminal. Of course, the processor and the storage medium may reside as discrete components in a user terminal.

For a software implementation, the techniques described herein may be implemented with modules (e.g., procedures, functions, and so on) that perform the functions described herein. The software codes may be stored in memory units and executed by processors. The memory unit may be implemented within the processor or external to the processor, in which case it can be communicatively coupled to the processor via various means as is known in the art.

What has been described above includes examples of one or more embodiments. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the aforementioned embodiments, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of various embodiments are possible. Accordingly, the embodiments described herein are intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term "includes" is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim. Furthermore, any use of the term "or" in the specification of the claims is intended to mean a "non-exclusive or". The terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
