<Outline of processing in form processing system 1>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10, an outline of the process of generating the identification information of the form 3 executed in the form processing system 1 will be described.

<< Standard item settings >>
FIG. 2 shows a plurality of forms 3 for which the identification information is generated by the form processing system 1. The plurality of forms 3 shown in FIG. 2 include forms 3A, forms 3B, forms 3C, forms 3D, and the like, all of which are used for notifying local governments and the like. In the following, items common to Form 3A, Form 3B, Form 3C, Form 3D, etc. will be described as Form 3.
Further, the data of the form 3 may be transmitted from the client device 50 to the form processing server 10, or may be read into the form processing server 10 from a storage medium or the like.

As an example, Form 3A relates to a pregnancy report and is information including a scanned image of the pregnancy report (for example, PDF data) and data of a web form of the pregnancy report. Similarly, each form 3 contains a scanned image of the form and information about the web form.

Then, the form processing server 10 sets the standard items of the items included in the form 3 based on the plurality of forms 3 received from the client device 50.
Here, the above-mentioned "standard item" is an item most commonly used among a plurality of items having corresponding meanings in the form 3.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, for the item 60 of "name", "name", and "name", for example, "name" is selected as the standard item 60S.
Similarly, for the item 61 of "address", "place", and "location", for example, "address" is selected as the standard item 61S, and for the item 62 of "month age" and "age (month)", for example. "Moon age" is selected as the standard item 62S.
The selection of the standard item may be performed mechanically based on the frequency of appearance in the form 3 and the dictionary information, or may be performed based on the input of the user, and is not particularly limited.

Then, the form processing server 10 replaces the items of each form 3 with standard items, and proceeds to the next processing.

<< Setting common items and individual items >>
The form processing server 10 sets the items (standard items) used in other forms 3 among the items (standard items) of each form 3 as common items, and sets the other items as individual items. ..
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, since the standard item 60S and the standard item 61S of the form 3A are common to the standard item 60S and the standard item 61S of the form 3B, these are the common item 70A in the form 3A, and It is set to the common item 70B in the form 3B.
On the other hand, the item 63 of the form 3A is an individual item 71A of the form 3A because it exists only in the form 3A. Similarly, the item 64 of the form 3B is an individual item 71B of the form 3B because it exists only in the form 3B.

The form processing server 10 executes the above-mentioned common item and individual item settings for each form 3.

<< Generation of common item code 80 >>
Next, the form processing server 10 generates the common item code 80 based on the common items of the form 3. In the following, the form 3B will be described as an example, but other forms 3 can be processed in the same manner.

As shown in FIG. 4, the form processing server 10 concatenates the identifiers of each item (for example, standard item 60S, standard item 61S, etc.) included in the common item 70B of the form 3B, and concatenates the first identifier group information. Generate 81.
Here, as the identifier of each item, as shown in FIG. 5, the path of each item (for example, A: na if the name (na) of the applicant (A)) is used based on the data structure D of the form 3. It is expressed by converting it into a UUID (Universally Unique Identifier). In this embodiment, the UUID is used as an identifier, but the path of the item (for example, A: na) may be used as the identifier.

In the present embodiment, the first identifier group information 81 concatenates the identifiers of the common items of the form 3 with the pipe (|) as the delimiter, but the delimiter is not limited to the pipe (|). , Other characters may be used.

Then, the form processing server 10 generates the common item code 80 by encoding the first identifier group information 81 by a predetermined reversible conversion coding process (for example, Base64 Encoded Query String).

<< Generation of application condition code 82 >>
Next, the form processing server 10 sets the application conditions for the common item 70B of the form 3B, and generates the application condition code 82 based on the set application conditions.
The applicable condition is a condition for the application using the form 3 to be approved. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the applicable condition 72 is set for the item of the form 3 (here, “address”). ..

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the form processing server 10 generates an application condition presentation screen 90 that presents candidates for application conditions to be set in the form 3B for the standard item 61S of the common item 70B, and generates a client. It is displayed on the display device 55 of the device 50.

The applicable condition presentation screen 90 includes a candidate for the applicable condition and a check box 91 for selecting the candidate for the applicable condition.
The candidate for the application condition displayed on the application condition presentation screen 90 is an extraction of the application condition 72 set for the common item of the form 3 similar to the form 3B.
The details of the form search process similar to the form 3B will be described later.

Then, when the check box 91 of the application condition presentation screen 90 is selected based on the input by the input device 54 of the client device 50, the form processing server 10 receives the selection result from the client device 50.

In the example shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that "the child's address is in Japan" is selected as the applicable condition 72B to be set in the form 3B. The application condition 72B is a condition corresponding to the standard item 61S. Then, the application condition data 83 is expressed as a character string in which the application conditions corresponding to each identifier of the common item 70B of the form 3B are concatenated by a pipe delimiter.
The form processing server 10 generates the application condition code 82 by encoding the application condition data 83 by a predetermined lossless conversion coding process (for example, Base64 Encoded Query String).

<< Generation of service ID 84 >>
Next, as shown in FIG. 8, the form processing server 10 applies the application generated based on the common item code 80 generated based on the common item 70B of the form 3B and the application condition 72B set in the common item 70B. The service ID 84 is generated by concatenating with the condition code 82.
Specifically, the form processing server 10 may generate the service ID 84 by connecting the character string of the common item code 80 and the character string of the application condition code 82 via a predetermined delimiter.

The service ID 84 is uniquely generated in the form 3B based on the items common to the other forms 3 and the applicable conditions. Therefore, with respect to the form 3 in which the service ID 84 is common, the content of the service in which the form 3 is used is also common.

<< Generation of individual item code 86 >>
Next, the form processing server 10 generates the individual item code 86 based on the individual item 71B of the form 3B.

As shown in FIG. 9, the form processing server 10 concatenates the identifiers of each item (for example, item 64, etc.) included in the individual item 71B of the form 3B to generate the second identifier group information 87.
Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the identifier of each item is represented by converting the path of each item into a UUID based on the data structure D of the form 3.

In the present embodiment, the second identifier group information 87 concatenates the identifiers of the individual items of the form 3 with the pipe (|) as the delimiter according to the same rule as the first identifier group information 81. .. Of course, the delimiter is not limited to the pipe (|), and other characters may be used.

Then, the form processing server 10 generates the individual item code 86 by encoding the above-mentioned second identifier group information 87 by a predetermined reversible conversion coding process (for example, Base64 Encoded Query String).

<< Generation of form ID 100 >>
Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the form processing server 10 generates the form ID 100 of the form 3B based on the service ID 84, the individual item code 86, the application destination code 88, and the number of times of ID generation 89.
The application destination code 88 is information for identifying the destination (for example, the local government A) to which the user applies using the form 3B.
The ID generation count 89 is the number of generations in which the form ID 100 is generated for the form 3B. In the above example, the ID generation count 89 is used, but the date or the like may be used as long as the information indicates the version information of the form ID 100, and the ID generation count is not limited to 89.

Then, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the form processing server 10 generates the form ID 100 by concatenating the service ID 84, the individual item code 86, the application destination code 88, and the number of times of ID generation 89 with hyphens (−), respectively. ..

By the above processing, the form processing server 10 generates the form ID 100 of the form 3B.
The form ID 100 is unique identification information for the form 3B based on the contents of the items of the form 3B. Therefore, it is possible to add universal identification information to the form beyond the framework of one system.
Further, by decoding the form ID 100, the information of the common item 70B, the individual item 71B, and the application condition 72B of the form 3B can be specified. Further, when a new form is created by diverting the common item 70B of the form 3B, the item and the application condition of the new form can be easily set by using the service ID 84 of the form 3B.

The form processing server 10 generates a form ID 100 for each form 3 by executing the above processing in the same manner for other forms 3 other than the form 3B.

<Explanation of functions provided in the form processing server 10>
Hereinafter, the functions provided in the form processing server 10 in order to realize the processing described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11, the form processing server 10 includes a form information storage unit 20, a target form acquisition unit 22, a common item extraction unit 24, a feature vector generation unit 26, a search unit 28, a presentation unit 30, and a selection reception unit 32. , The application condition setting unit 34, the common item code generation unit 36, the application condition code generation unit 38, the individual item code generation unit 40, and the form identification information generation unit 42.

The functions of the above-mentioned parts provided in the form processing server 10 are executed by the processor 11 operating each part of the form processing server 10 according to a program (form processing program) stored in the storage device 12. The above program may be acquired by the form processing server 10 by the communication device 13 via a communication network such as the network 2, or the form processing server 10 may read and acquire the program from the storage medium in which the program is stored. May be good.
Hereinafter, the details of the functions of the above parts will be described.

<< Form information storage unit 20 >>
The form information storage unit 20 stores the information of the form. Specifically, the form information storage unit 20 stores classification information indicating items for each form, applicable conditions, and classification of applications.
The form information storage unit 20 is mainly realized by the storage device 12 of the form processing server 10.

"Form" means a paper medium or an electronic medium capable of inputting information and subjected to a predetermined process. For example, a "form" is used to make an application to a local government such as a municipality, the national government, or a private company. Specifically, birth notifications, pregnancy notifications, etc. correspond to examples of "forms".

The "item" is a component of the form and is information for defining the content and format of the input information to the form. For example, "name", "date of birth", etc. correspond to an example of the above "item".
"Applicable conditions" are the conditions specified for the application by form to be approved. For example, if the application by form is only accepted by the residents of a specific area, being a resident of a specific area corresponds to an example of the above "applicable conditions".
"Classification information" is information that defines the classification of forms. For example, the information obtained by classifying the forms into a plurality of forms according to the type of application by form and the content of the application corresponds to the above-mentioned "classification information".

FIG. 12 shows an example of the form classification table 92 in which the form classification information is defined. As shown in FIG. 12, in the form classification table 92, the application types of forms are divided into "Claim (claim)" and "Report (report)", and the application contents of the form are further divided into "Add (additional)" and "Add (additional)". It was divided into "Delete", "Commit", and "Move", and the classification information of C1 to C8 defined by each combination was shown.
At least one of the above classification information of "C1" to "C8" is given to each form. Depending on the form, a plurality of the above classification information may be given.

<< Target form acquisition unit 22 >>
The target form acquisition unit 22 acquires a target form including a plurality of items.
The "target form (target form)" is a form to which identification information is given. For example, when there are a plurality of forms to which identification information has not been given, any one of the plurality of forms can be the above-mentioned "target form".

The target form acquisition unit 22 is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the form processing server 10. Specifically, the processor 11 reads out the target form to be processed from the forms stored in the storage device 12 (form information storage unit 20).

<< Common item extraction unit 24 >>
The common item extraction unit 24 extracts common items, which are items common to other forms for making an application of the same type as the target form, from a plurality of items included in the target form.

"Other forms for making the same type of application as the target form" is a form that has some of the same attributes as the target form. For example, the form in which the target form and the classification information are common can be the above-mentioned "other form". Further, for example, a form having the same form name as the target form can be the above-mentioned "other form".
The "common item" is an item common to the "target form" and the "other form" in the standard item name (or the path in the data structure D). The above standard item names are the names of the items selected as representatives among the names of the plurality of items having the corresponding meanings.

The common item extraction unit 24 is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the form processing server 10.
Specifically, the processor 11 converts each item of the plurality of target forms 3 stored in the storage device 12 into a standard item. Then, the processor 11 extracts items that are commonly included in all of the plurality of forms 3 to be processed as common items.

<< Feature vector generator 26 >>
The feature vector generation unit 26 generates a feature vector of the target form based on the items included in the target form.
For example, the feature vector generation unit 26 generates a feature vector based on individual items other than common items among the items included in the target form.

The "feature vector" is a vector having one or more feature quantities obtained from the form as an element. As an example, the "feature vector" is the dimension of the item that appears in the form according to the data type (name, address, number, etc.) and the semantic attributes of the item (mother, father, child, hospital, etc.). Let it be a vector consisting of two dimensions. In this case, the number of appearances in the form for each word may be set as the value of the element corresponding to the word.
Further, the "feature vector" may be generated as an element of the number of words appearing in individual items other than common items among the items of the form. In this case, since the individual items are more likely to represent the characteristics of the form than the common items, the "feature vector" can be made to represent the characteristics more unique to the form.

The feature vector generation unit 26 is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the form processing server 10.
Specifically, the processor 11 determines the vector value of each form based on the words appearing in all the forms stored in the storage device 12. Here, the processor 11 defines the feature vector of each form as a set of two-dimensional vectors generated in individual items other than common items.
Then, the processor 11 stores the feature vector generated for each form in the storage device 12 in association with each form.

<< Search unit 28 >>
The search unit 28 searches the form information storage unit 20 for a form similar to the target form.
Specifically, the search unit 28 stores the form stored in the form information storage unit 20 based on the degree of similarity between the feature vector of the target form and the feature vector of each form stored in the form information storage unit 20. Search for a form similar to the target form.

The "similarity" is, for example, the inner product of the first feature vector and the second feature vector. When the length of the feature vector is normalized to be constant, the larger the value of the inner product, the more similar the two forms to be compared.
Further, the cosine similarity between the first feature vector and the second feature vector also corresponds to an example of the above "similarity". In this case, the smaller the angle between the first feature vector and the second feature vector (that is, the closer the cosine is to 1), the more similar the first feature vector and the second feature vector are.

Then, the search unit 28 may obtain, for example, a form having a “similarity” equal to or higher than the threshold value with the above-mentioned target form as a search result. For example, the above threshold value may be set in advance.

Further, the search unit 28 may search the form information storage unit 20 for a form whose feature vector is similar to that of the target form and whose classification information is similar to that of the target form.

"Similarity between the target form and the feature vector" means that the degree of similarity of the feature vector with the target form is equal to or higher than the threshold value.
And, "the target form and the classification information are similar" means that the target form and at least one common classification information are possessed.

The search unit 28 is mainly realized by the processor 11 and the storage device 12 of the form processing server 10.
Specifically, the processor 11 extracts a form having classification information common to the target form from the forms stored in the storage device 12. Then, the processor 11 searches for a form having a similarity with the target form of the threshold value or more based on the respective feature vectors of the extracted form and the target form. The processor 11 may rank the searched forms in descending order of similarity.

<< Presentation section 30 >>
The presentation unit 30 presents the applicable conditions of the form searched by the search unit 28 in a selectable manner.
Specifically, the presentation unit 30 presents the applicable conditions set for the form searched by the search unit 28 so that the applicable conditions related to the common items with the target form can be selected and selected.
