Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give assistance to determine whether special and illegal contract contents are included, by enabling even a contractor who does not have technical knowledge about an electronic contract exchanged in the form of electronic data to determine whether the contract contents are normal. SOLUTION: Electronic written contract template data 1030 which contains an electronic written contract template are prepared on a server 1000 that a 3rd party, which is not directly interested in a contract provides. The electronic written contract template has display properties by contract clauses. Contractor-side systems 1100 and 1200 display the contract contents in three different kinds of formats, i.e., 'standard', 'optional', and 'addition or modification by a contractor' according to the display properties. Therefore, even if the contractor does not have technical knowledge about the contract, the contractor can judge whether the contract contents are normal. Further, an electronic signature is given to the electronic written contract template, to prevent the contract contents and properties from being altered.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an electronic contract template providing device for providing an electronic contract template and a display device for displaying the electronic contract template.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, opportunities to conclude contracts not only between companies, but also between companies and individuals, and between individuals have increased. In contracts between individuals who do not have specialized knowledge about contracts, it is difficult to create contracts,
It costs money. In the case of a contract between a company with a person who has specialized knowledge about contracts and an individual with little technical knowledge about contracts, or a small or medium-sized company, a person with specialized knowledge about contracts is not. In some cases, the content of a contract with which there is a possibility of an interest may be determined between the parties, which may be undesirable. Therefore, in order to reduce the cost of preparing contracts and to realize a fair contract, a template based on standard contract contents created by a third party who has specialized knowledge and has no direct interest in the contract Is needed.

As a conventional technique, there is a service in which a template of electronic data is distributed and a contract is printed on paper and used. Electronic contract template
This is a contract describing contract terms considered to be standard in various contracts, and is provided from a contract template provider that holds a plurality of electronic contract templates.

[0004]

Those who have expert knowledge of contracts have standard (general) contract contents described in existing paper-based contracts and electronic contract templates. Can be determined. However, a person who does not have specialized knowledge about the contract cannot judge whether or not the above contract contents are standard (general). Here, the standard content is the content of a contract that is often incorporated in society in general when making a contract for a certain event.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and it is possible to determine whether or not the contract contents are standard (general) even if they do not have specialized knowledge about the contract. It is an object of the present invention to provide an electronic contract template providing device and a display device that can perform the contract.

[0006]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an electronic contract template providing apparatus according to the present invention provides a fixed form sentence which is a standard contract sentence, and a relation between a created contract sentence and the fixed form sentence. And a transmitting unit that transmits the electronic contract template generated by the template generating unit via a communication network.

The attribute data may include data indicating whether a change has been made to the fixed phrase, data indicating whether the fixed phrase is being used, or a frequency at which the fixed phrase is used. Including the data according to the above, the contractor refers to the attribute data, and the fixed phrase is changed, the fixed phrase is used, or the frequently used fixed phrase is used Can be determined.

Further, since the data indicating whether or not a change has been made to the fixed phrase is an electronic signature, it is possible to reliably determine that the fixed phrase has been changed.
Also, the electronic contract template includes an electronic signature indicating whether or not the attribute data has been changed, so that it can be reliably determined that the attribute data has been changed.

Further, a display device according to the present invention is a display device for displaying a contract sentence, and in accordance with attribute data indicating a relation between a created contract sentence and a standard contract sentence, a fixed sentence. Display the created contract statement differently. This makes it possible to visually and clearly display the relationship between the created contract text and the fixed text.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. In the text, the contract template is used as an example.
By changing the rule to various securities such as promissory notes such as "May 31", a template for securities can be realized.

The attribute data includes, for each clause of the contract, data for identifying whether the contract content specified by the clause is general or added or changed by one of the contractors. The contract may include data on the frequency with which the contract content is incorporated.

The display device according to the present invention includes, for example,
The text of the contract may be displayed on the screen of the display device, and the sentence that the contract is general or an item added by the contract partner may be displayed in text. For example, the contract content is displayed on the left half of the screen, and a sentence indicating that the contract content is general or an item added by the contract partner is displayed on the right half of the screen. Alternatively, a portion where the contract content is added by the contract partner is displayed in red, for example, and a portion in which the contract content is changed by the contract partner is displayed in yellow, for example. Alternatively, instead of using different colors, the attributes are displayed by changing the size and typeface of characters to be displayed. Alternatively, when a clause is selected and designated by a pointing device such as a mouse, the attribute of the selected and designated clause is displayed in a new window or the like. By doing so, the contractor can judge the validity of the contract contents by referring to the display based on the attribute data. Therefore, even if the contractor does not have specialized knowledge about the contract, it is possible to determine whether the contract contents are standard (general), in other words, the validity of the contract contents.

For example, data for specifying (1) a standard option, (2) a standard option, or (3) other than the above is incorporated for each contract clause. As the data, (1) data specifying that it is "standard" which is a standard contract clause provided by a contract template provider,
(2) Data specifying that the option is a general change clause provided by the contract template vendor. (3) "Contractor original" added / changed by the contractor specifically for this contract There are three types of data that specify that

Here, for example, in the case of a used car sales contract,
Contract terms that are considered essential in all contracts, such as "We will transfer the following vehicle to you," are considered standard contract terms, so the data structure in (1), "Transportation costs will be paid separately by you. The contract clause that is not a standard contract clause but is considered to be a general change, such as "I will do it," is the data structure of (2), "We do not guarantee the operation of the car transferred to you."
Such a contract clause that the contractor has added / changed specifically for this contract has the data structure of (3).
