3. Details of Information Processing In Section 3, the information processing method executed by the information processing device 3 will be described with reference to activity diagrams. As shown below, the information processing method includes the following steps.

FIG. 4 is an activity diagram showing an example of information processing by the information processing device 3. As shown in FIG. Note that the order of the following processes can be changed as appropriate, and a plurality of processes may be executed simultaneously, or not all of them need to be executed.

First, the transmission unit 332 transmits a plurality of first questions 41 pre-stored in the storage unit 32 to the user terminal 2 (A101). After that, based on the user's operation, the user terminal 2 transmits the first answer 51 to the first question 41 via the network and communication unit (A102). Subsequently, the reception unit 331 receives the first reply 51 via the network and communication unit. (A103). The first reply 51 may be a sentence in a free description format, or may be information indicating the selection result of the option.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a GUI displayed on the user terminal 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5 , the display control unit 335 causes the user terminal 2 to display the first question 41 transmitted by the transmission unit 332 . Specifically, the display control unit 335 displays the first questions 41 one by one on the chat screen. Then, when the reception unit 331 receives the first answer 51 to the first question 41, the display control unit 335 causes the next first question 41 to be displayed.

Here, the first question 41 is, for example, the question 4 regarding the theme of the text created by the user or the background of the creation of the text. The text is, for example, at least one of a thesis, a report, and an impression. For example, the display control unit 335 displays the first question 41 "Does the question require adding your own viewpoint to the theme?" (FIG. 5). In this way, the transmission unit 332 specifies the classification type of the sentence created by the user, and transmits the first question 41 for determining the sentence structure that will be the outline of the sentence to be created. The transmission of the first questions 41 and the reception of the first answers 51 to the first questions 41 are repeated until the first answers 51 to all the first questions 41 are received.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the first question 41. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the storage unit 32 stores a plurality of first questions 41 to be transmitted to the user terminal 2. As shown in FIG. Also, the first question 41 has a branching question 4 as well as containing options. That is, the transmission unit 332 can determine the first question 41 to be transmitted according to the first answer 51 from the user. In addition, the specifying unit 333 determines the configuration to be included as the outline of the sentence according to the first reply 51 . A structure is an element contained in a sentence. For example, the specifying unit 333 selects No. If the first answer 51 to the first question 41 of 1 is "yes", then it is decided to include "configuration a" in the sentence (see FIG. 6). Further, for example, when receiving the first reply 51 indicating that the sentence created by the user is a book review, the specifying unit 333 determines to include "structure x" in the sentence.

In the example of FIG. 5, the display control unit 335 shows an example in which the first questions 41 stored in advance are displayed in order, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the display control unit 335 may collectively display all the questions 4 that require the user to give an answer 5, and may display an input form for accepting the answer 5 from the user. The display control unit 335 may use a chatbot to automatically send and display the next first question 41 when an answer 5 to the previous question 4 is received.

When all the first answers 51 are accepted, the process proceeds to A104. The specifying unit 333 specifies the sentence classification type 6 based on the result obtained by repeating the transmission of the first question 41 and the reception of the first answer 51 to the first question 41 (A104). Then, the transmitting unit 332 transmits a plurality of second questions 42 based on the first answer 51 and the sentence classification type 6 specified based on the first answer 51 (A105). FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the sentence classification type 6. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the sentence classification type 6 contains different constituent elements, each marked with a circle. For example, sentence classification type 6 "A" includes "configuration a", "configuration b", "configuration c", and "configuration d". "Configuration" may also include multiple sub-elements. In addition, question 4 (second question 42) is associated with each configuration.

"Structure a" contains, for example, a second question 42 relating to the introductory part of the sentence. Specifically, the “configuration a” is linked to the second question 42 regarding “the reason for choosing the theme”, “the point of view of arguing about the theme or the position of the writer”, and the like. Also, for example, "configuration b" is associated with a second question 42 relating to politics, economy, history, and the like. Specifically, "configuration b" includes second questions 42 relating to "definition of theme", "summary of theme", "historical background of theme", and the like. Also, for example, "configuration c" includes second questions 42 regarding "experimental purpose", "research background", "experimental or research method", and the like. "Composition x" includes "the most interesting event in the story", "the most interesting character", "What would you do if you were that character?" A related second question 42 is linked. In this way, each structure included in the sentence classification type 6 is associated with the second question 42 , and the specifying unit 333 selects the second question 42 included in the specified structure of the sentence classification type 6 from the user terminal 2 . Send to

Subsequently, the user terminal 2 transmits the second question 42 for the second question 42 based on the user's operation (A106). That is, the second answer 52 is answer 5 to the second question 42 . Next, the reception unit 331 receives the first reply 51 via the network and communication unit. (A107). FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a GUI displayed on the user terminal 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8 , the display control unit 335 causes the user terminal 2 to display the transmitted second question 42 . Specifically, the display control unit 335 displays the second questions 42 one by one on the chat screen. Then, when the reception unit 331 receives the second answer 52 to the second question 42, the display control unit 335 causes the next second question 42 to be displayed.

Here, the second question 42 includes a question 4 requesting an explanation of the keyword included in the second answer 52 . For example, if the second answer 52 to the second question 42 of "What is the word that goes into YY?" As a second answer 52 to which "Rousseau's theory of social contract" is applied, a second question 42 of "Please explain the outline of 'Rousseau's theory of social contract'" is transmitted. In other words, the question 4 is stored in advance in a mode to which the keyword included in the second answer 52 can be applied.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a database in which the first answers 51 and the second answers 52 are associated. According to the example of FIG. 9, "configuration a1" includes No. 1 to No. Up to 4 second questions 42 are linked. Then, when the second answers 52 to the respective second questions 42 are received, the storage unit 32 stores the second questions 42 and the second answers 52 in association with each other.

When the transmitting unit 332 has transmitted all the second responses 52 and the receiving unit 331 has received the second responses 52, the process proceeds to A108. The text processing unit 334 rearranges the second responses 52 received from the user terminal 2, and generates the text information 7 summarized in text (A108). Then, when the display control unit 335 receives answers 5 to all the second questions 42 included in the text classification type 6, when receiving answers 5 to all the second questions 42 included in the text classification type 6, Character information 7 is displayed. (A109). FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a GUI displayed on the user terminal 2. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 10 , the display control unit 335 displays the character information 7 including the rearranged second answers 52 based on the text classification type 6 . In this embodiment, the sentence classification type 6 is associated with the order in which the second answers 52 corresponding to the second questions 42 are rearranged. Thus, the display control unit 335 displays the character information 7 based on the result obtained by repeating the transmission of the second question 42 and the reception of the second answer 52 to the second question 42 .

In summary, the information processing method according to this embodiment is executed by the information processing device 3 . The information processing method includes steps in the information processing device 3 . Specifically, the information processing method includes a specifying step, a transmitting step, and a display controlling step. In the specifying step, the sentence classification type 6 is specified based on the result obtained by repeating the sending of the first question 41 and the receiving of the first answer 51 to the first question 41, and in the sending step, the sentence Based on the classification type 6, a plurality of second questions 42 are sent, the second questions 42 include questions 4 asking for explanations of the keywords included in the second answers 52, the second answers 52 are the second questions 42 In the display control step, the character information 7 including the rearranged second answers 52 is displayed based on the specified text classification type 6 .

Moreover, according to another aspect, the program causes the computer to execute each step in the information processing device 3 . Specifically, the program causes the computer to execute a specific step, a transmission step, and a display control step. In the specifying step, the sentence classification type 6 is specified based on the result obtained by repeating the sending of the first question 41 and the receiving of the first answer 51 to the first question 41, and in the sending step, the sentence Based on the classification type 6, a plurality of second questions 42 are sent, the second questions 42 include questions 4 asking for explanations of the keywords included in the second answers 52, the second answers 52 are the second questions 42 In the display control step, the character information 7 including the rearranged second answers 52 is displayed based on the specified text classification type 6 .

With such a configuration, the information processing device 3 repeats the question 4 regarding the topic of the sentence that the user is going to write, and based on the answer 5, identifies the sentence classification type 6 containing the optimum configuration. In addition, the information processing device 3 repeats the question 4 according to the specified sentence classification type 6, and outputs sentences (character information 7) connecting the answers 5 answered by the user, thereby providing the user with sentences. can help create.

In particular, when students who are not good at writing sentences work on report assignments and thesis writing, there are many cases where it is difficult to include the necessary sentence structure for the given assignment and describe a sufficient amount of content. According to this, it is possible for the user to create a sentence that satisfies the necessary constituent elements according to the type of sentence to be written.

4. Modifications Section 4 describes modifications of the information processing method of the information processing system 1 described above. The information processing system 1 may be provided in a mode including the following configurations.

In A103, the receiving unit 331 may receive volume information 50 indicating the volume of the text created by the user. Specifically, the amount of text is, for example, 0, 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 12000, 14000, 16000, 18000, 20000, 22000, 24000, 26000, 28000, 30000, 32000, 34000, 36000, 38000, 40000 characters, and may be in the range between any two of the numbers exemplified here. Instead of the number of characters, the receiving unit 331 may receive the number of manuscript sheets as a measure of the volume. In this case, for example, 400 characters per document sheet are converted into the number of characters.

Then, in A109, the display control unit 335 may display the sentence whose amount should be adjusted among the character information 7 so as to be identifiable based on the amount information 50 and the second reply 52. FIG. For example, when the total number of characters included in the second reply 52 is greater than or equal to the threshold value than the number of characters received as the quantity information 50, the identifying unit 333 identifies a configuration whose number of characters should be adjusted, and A portion corresponding to the answer 52 may be highlighted. For example, the display control unit 335 causes the character color of the part to be adjusted to be displayed in a color different from that of other characters or in bold. With such a configuration, it is possible for the user to easily adjust the number of characters when he/she wishes to create a sentence with the number of characters specified in advance.

Further, the specifying unit 333 may further specify the second answer 52 by another user for the sentence classification type 6 specified in the past. Also, the display control unit 335 may display information about the identified second answer 52 . The information about the second answer includes, for example, the number of characters of the second answer 52 by other users, the ratio of the number of characters of the second answer to the total number of characters of the second answer 52 to the sentence classification type 6, It is the second reply 52 itself by another user, and the like. It is assumed that the storage unit 32 stores in advance the second answers 52 made by other users in the past and the character information 7 output for the second answers 52 .

Moreover, the transmission unit 332 may further transmit the third question 43 when the second answer 52 satisfies a predetermined condition. The third question 43 is a question requesting further detailed explanation of the keyword included in the second answer 52 . In other words, when the second answer 52 includes a predetermined keyword, the identification unit 333 identifies the second question 42 corresponding to the keyword. Then, the transmission unit 332 transmits the identified third question 43 . For example, when the reception unit 331 receives the second response 52 including the term “XX” which is generally defined, the response is “What is XX, please explain its definition and outline”. A second reply 52 is sent. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 3 can request a detailed explanation from the user regardless of the sentence classification type 6 when the user's answer 5 includes a keyword specified in advance. As a result, the user can create sentences with more substantial contents. It is assumed that the keyword that triggers the transmission of the third question 43 is stored in the database in advance.
