Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a support system for supporting the preparation of a revised law.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional document revision support system, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-162175 is known. This technology allows the person in charge to specify the revision part by keyboard operation and input the revision content while watching the contents of the current regulation book, and the revision current regulation file that marks the revision portion, the revision portion and its revision The revised contents file which is the contents is created, and the old and new contrast tables are created from them, or the revised current regulation file is rewritten to create the revised regulation book.

Conventionally, the revision of a law is performed by preparing a law for revising the law, but this revision law is manually created by the person in charge of law revision. In preparing the revised law, the person in charge of revising the law revised the existing law to create a new law and made full use of various revision techniques while referring to various guidebooks regarding the revision and past cases. Develop amendments that specifically describe each amendment to the current law. Finally, the revised regulations are created by collecting the revised regulations.

[0004]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Revision of Laws Legislation preparation is one of the most difficult tasks in legal work, and it takes a lot of time just to acquire various kinds of technology. is there. However, in general, the person in charge of law revision is changed in a short time due to a change or the like, and the following work must be repeated, which requires a great deal of labor and time. In addition, there are problems that mistakes are likely to occur.

In the amended laws and regulations, the method of quoting words to be amended has customs peculiar to the amended laws and regulations, so various guides for legal work and investigations of past cases must be conducted. There are various revision techniques because revision methods differ depending on the type of revision. Therefore, in order to determine what kind of amendment should be used and which amendment technique should be used to prepare the amended provisions of the law, it is necessary to conduct various kinds of guidance on legal work and investigation of past cases as well. If there are multiple amendment techniques that can be used in, the amendment rules must be created for each amendment technique, the number of lines and the number of characters must be compared, and the shortest sentence must be selected.

Further, since the amended law has a fixed description format, it is necessary to always be aware of the indentation, the place to turn back, and the like, which is a problem for the progress of the original amended law preparation work. Has occurred. further,
Legislation revision work is usually concentrated in a short period of time, and it is necessary to shorten the revision legislation preparation time as much as possible.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, to significantly reduce the work time for preparing the revised law, and to assist a new person in charge to prepare the revised law in a short time. is there.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a storage means for storing a current law document, a storage means for storing a new law document, a portion to be revised of the current law document and a new law document have been revised. By referring to the difference table means that stores the correspondence relationship with the location and the location that should be revised and the location that was revised, it is categorized as either changed, added, or deleted, and the revision type is "revise" or "add", respectively. Characterized by an amended law making support system having means for generating a predicate of "cut" and means for making an amended law document based on the result of this generation means.

[0009]

According to the present invention, by referring to the difference table created based on the current law document and the new law document, the revision portion is classified into any revision type of change, addition or deletion. , It is possible to generate a predicate suitable for each revision type.

The position of the old information is the position of the word in the storage area, and corresponds to the alphanumeric characters in the old law of FIG. The new information and the position information of the new information are the same as those in the new law of FIG.

FIG. 5 is a revised law that is finally created by the concrete operation of the revised law creation program using the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 according to the present invention.

FIG. 10 is a part of the lexical processing method acquisition table which is a table for acquiring the revised lexical processing method, and is a schematic view of the operation ST0 of the embodiment of FIG.
It is used in the processing of the difference information of No. 9, and for example, the processing of 201 which is a processing method of words and phrases relating to the amount of money of the item is acquired.

FIG. 11 is a part of a revision method acquisition table which is a table for obtaining a revision method for generating a revision description excluding the predicate from the old and new difference information of the difference file 9 of FIG. ST12, ST16, ST of FIG.
It is used in 19 revision rule generation, and for example, the method 301 of the revision rule generation method when the revision type is “partial” and the classification is “article etc.” is acquired.

FIG. 12 shows a part of the predicate part acquisition table which is a table for acquiring the predicate part in the amendment rule. It is used in the predicate part addition in ST18 of FIG. "" Is acquired in the "401" of the description of the predicate when the status is "revise" and the status is "continuous", which is the connection status of the revised description.

FIGS. 13 to 15 show intermediate results obtained by the process during the concrete operation of the legislative amendment law preparing program according to the present invention using the difference file 9 of FIG. Yes, the record numbers in the figures other than FIG. 15 correspond to the record numbers of the difference file 9 in FIG. 9, and are acquired during the processing of the difference record number 2 in FIG. 9, for example. The contents of the revised section are "Article 2" of the revised section (2) which is the revised section of the record number 2 in FIG. Further, in FIG. 15, the amended regulation number indicates the sequence number of one amended regulation constituting the amended law,
Revision rule (2) which is contents of revision rule of revision rule number 2
“In the second article ...” indicates the second content of one amended regulation that constitutes the amended law that was acquired during the processing of the difference record in FIG. Here, one amendment is a sentence that describes all the amendments to a certain amendment (for example, "Article 2"), which is a rule for making amendments. "Basically, one amendment rule is to be described on an article-by-article basis (the title revision is only the title revision)." In FIG. 15, Δ indicates a space, and ¥ 0 indicates a line feed symbol.

6 to 8 show the transition of the contents of the second to fourth amended regulations. △ indicates a space.

First, the first record of the difference file 9 (record number 1 in FIG. 9) is processed.

ST02: The position of the old information of the record number 1 of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 is the position characteristic of the revised part to which the position information A1 of the old law of FIG. Judgment is made based on the circumstances, and the revised part is designated as the revised part (1) in FIG. Therefore, the classification of the "title" of this revised part (1) becomes the "title" of the classification (1) of FIG. ST03: The following processing is performed to create a revision rule when the revision part is "title".

ST04: Since the revised part is the "title", the process proceeds to ST05.

ST05: Revision rule generation processing of the title is performed, and the revision rule of the title (first) is the revision rule of FIG.
(1) ”The title is amended as follows.

Αβ rule ”.

ST06: The position of the old information of the record number 2 of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 is determined from B1 to determine the revised part to which the positional information B1 of the old law of FIG. 3 belongs, and the revised part of FIG.
(2) is referred to as "Article 2". Therefore, the revised section "Article 2"
Is classified as the category (2) "article, etc." in FIG. Normally, the revision type is determined after determining the revision location, but there is a restriction that all revisions of titles are done using revision techniques, so the revision rules can be described in one method regardless of revision type. become. ST07: Since there is no revision before, proceed to ST08. ST
At 08, the process returns to ST03 to process the second record (record number 2 in FIG. 9) of the difference file 9. ST
03: The following processing is performed while the revised part is "Article 2".

ST04: Since the revised part is not the "title", the process proceeds to ST09.

ST09: The lexical of the old and new information of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 is processed for the revised law which is the processing of the difference information, but the new and old information of the record number 2 of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 is processed. No lexical processing corresponds to the items in the lexical processing method acquisition table of FIG.

ST10: The revision type is new in the record number 2 of the difference file 9 in FIG. 9, information older than the old information is a space, new information is "and registration application", and the new information Since "and the registration application form" are not equal to all the contents of Article 2 in the new law of FIG. 4, it is judged that the new information is added, and the revision type is added as the revision type (2) of FIG. "
And

ST11: Since this difference record is the first revision in the revision of Article 2, the process proceeds to ST12.

ST12: The revised regulation excluding the predicate part is generated. In generating the revision rule, the method of 312, which is the revision type “add” and the classification “article etc.”, is obtained from the revision method acquisition table of FIG. Therefore, the revision description generation method of the method of 312 generates the revision description of the record number 2 as "and registration application form" after "the viewing fee exemption application form" of the revision description (2) of FIG. , Article 2 (second) amendment is to add the first amendment to the amendment "Article 2", and next to "Viewing fee exemption application" in Article 2 of 61 in Fig. 6 "And the registration application form" becomes ".

ST13: Revision location of record number 3 of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 and its classification are revised location of FIG. 13 (3)
As “Article 2”, classify (3) “Article, etc.”
In ST14, the process returns to ST03 to process the third record (record number 3 in FIG. 9) of the difference file 9.

ST03: Since the revised part of the 3rd record is the same "Article 2" as the 2nd record, a plurality of revisions within the same revised part (Article 2) are described by one revision rule. To do so, enter a loop and proceed to ST09.

ST09: The lexical information of the new and old information of the record number 3 of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 corresponds to the “amount” which is the item of the lexical processing method acquisition table of FIG.
The processing of 201 in FIG. 10 is acquired. This is because there is a rule such as "do not cut out" less than or equal to "or" more than or equal "with respect to monetary amount" when creating the revised law.
The old information is processed as "2,000 yen" and the new information is processed as "5,000 yen" by the processing of 201 of 0, and the difference file 9 is updated.

ST10: The revision type is judged to be new because the contents of the old information in the difference file 9 in FIG. 9 are completely changed, and the revision type (3) in FIG. ".

ST11: Further, the third record is the second revision within the same revision section (Article 2), and the revision type of the previous record is the revision type (2) "Add" in FIG. Not all revisions, so proceed to ST15.

ST15: The state of the revision types before and after is performed by comparing the revision types before and after, and if the same revision type is the same revision type, it is "continuous", if different, it is "discontinuous". If it is the last, it is judged as “end of sentence”, but it is the revision type (2) “add” and revision type (3) in FIG.
Since it is different from "Revise", the state is the state (2) in Fig. 13.
It becomes "discontinuous".

ST16: From the predicate acquisition table of FIG. 12, the previous revision predicate reads 405 "Add" when the previous revision type is "add" and the status is "discontinuous". get. In addition, the method for generating the revised description excluding the predicate part is obtained from the revised method acquisition table of FIG. 11 because the method of 311 of the revision type “revise” and the classification “article etc.” is acquired. According to the method, the revision description excluding the predicate part of the record number 3 of the difference file 9 in FIG. 9 is generated as the revision description (3) in Table 6, ““ 2,000 Yen ”to“ 5,000 Yen ””, and Article 2 ( The second) revision rule is a diagram in which the predicate part (2) of FIG. 14 that is the predicate part of the second record and the revision description (3) of FIG. 14 that is the revised description of the third record are added. 6 of 6
In 2 of “Article 2“ Application for admission fee exemption ”, add“ and registration application ”, and change“ 2,000 yen ”to“ 5,000 yen ”.

ST13: Revision location of record number 4 of the difference file 9 of FIG. 9 and its classification are the revision location of FIG.
Classify (4) as "Article 2" and classify (4) "Articles, etc." S
At T14, the process returns to ST03 to process the fourth record (record number 4 in FIG. 9) of the difference file 9.

ST03: Since the revised part of the fourth record is the same "second article" as the third record, the process proceeds to ST09.

ST09: Record of the difference file 9 in FIG.
The lexical information of the new and old information of the code number 4 does not correspond to the items of the lexical processing method acquisition table of FIG. 10, so the lexical processing is not performed.

ST10: The revision type is that the old information is "however, it shall be ...", and the new information is a space. Since it is equal to the whole (hereinafter referred to as “proviso”), it becomes “all proviso deleted” of revision type (4) in FIG.

ST11: This record is the third revision within the same revision section (Article 2), and the revision type "revise" of the previous record is not all revisions, so the process proceeds to ST15.

ST15: Next, the front and rear revision states are judged. The revision type (3) "revise" and the revision type (4) in FIG.
Since "all proviso deleted" is different, it becomes "discontinuous" in state (3).

ST16: The predicate of the previous revision acquires 402 "revise" which is the previous revision type "revise" and the state "discontinuous" from the predicate obtaining table of FIG. In addition, as for the revision method, from the revision method acquisition table of FIG. 11, the revision method of the revision type “all proviso part deleted” and the classification “article etc.” 302 is acquired, and the revision description of record number 4 from the 302 method Is generated as "Delete the proviso.", And the revised provision of Article 2 (second) is that the predicate part of FIG.
(3) and amendment description (4) are added, 63 in Figure 6, "Additional application" is added after "Viewing fee exemption application" in Article 2, "2,000 yen" is added to "5,000 yen"", And delete the proviso. "It becomes.

ST13: The revised part of the record number 5 of the difference file 9 in FIG. 9 is the revised part (5) "Article 4" in FIG.
And the classification becomes classification (5) "articles". Since the revised section of the fifth record is "Article 4", which is different from the revised section "Article 2" of the fourth record, the process proceeds to ST17.

ST17: Since the revision type of the 4th record is "all revision of proviso", which is one of all revisions,
Proceed to ST21.

ST21: Since there are a plurality of revisions in "Article 2", the process proceeds to ST19. ST19: In the revised rule generation (3), the revised rule is generated by the partial all revision technique of the revised section "Article 2". From the amendment method acquisition table of FIG. 11, the method of 301, which is the amendment type “partial all amendment” and the amendment part “article etc.”, is acquired, and the amendment rule is the partially amended technique of Article 2 Amend the Article as follows.

Article 2 A person who wishes to be exempted from viewing fee must submit an application for viewing fee exemption and a registration application in advance, and must be issued with an approval document for viewing fee exemption ...
・ Be less than 5,000 yen.
"It becomes.

ST20: Select the revised rule having the smaller number of lines from the revised rule (2) in FIG. As 20 characters / line, the revised rule (2) in FIG. 15 is 4 lines, and the revised rule in the partial all-revision technique of Article 2 is 5 lines, so the revised rule (2) in FIG. 15 is selected.

Next, the fifth record of the difference file 9 (record number 5 in FIG. 9) is processed. The record number 5 of the difference file 9 shown in FIG.
The amended rule of the Article (third) is generated as 71 in FIG. 7 as “execute” to “execute” in Article 4. Difference file 9
The revised part of the record number 6 of "No. 6" is "Article 6", which is different from the revised part of the 5th record "Article 4".
Since the revision types are not all revisions due to “revise” of the revision type (5), the process proceeds to ST18.

ST18: The predicate portion at the end of the sentence is added. Based on the predicate acquisition table shown in FIG. 12, the revision type is “revise”.
And the status is "end of sentence", 403 "Revise." Is acquired, and the revised provision of Article 4 (third) is 72 "in Fig. 7.
In Article 4, "do" is changed to "do". , ”And selects 72 in FIG. 7 by comparing the number of rows.

Similarly, the amended provisions of Article 6 (4th) are amended to "execute" from "execute" in Article 6 of 82 in FIG. , And select 82 in FIG. 8 by comparing the number of rows,
Go to ST07.

ST07: Since the revised provisions of Article 4 (third) and the revised provisions of Article 6 (fourth) are the same except for the description of revised portions, the process proceeds to ST22.

ST22: The revised regulation is synthesized. Connect the revised parts with "and", and the third revised rule is 73 in Figure 7.
In “Articles 4 and 6”, “do” is changed to “do”. ", And the fourth revised rule is cleared as indicated by 83 in FIG.

ST08: Since the record of the difference file 9 is completed, the process proceeds to ST23.

ST23: A fixed part is generated, and the revised rules (1) to (3) of FIG. 15 are added in order, and the revised laws of the laws of FIG. 5 are generated and stored in the storage area of the computer main body 4. It is stored and displayed on the display device 1.

The person in charge of amendment inputs the title of the law to be amended and amends the displayed law to a new law according to the purpose of the amendment, whereby the amended law of the standard law is generated, displayed, amended, and database Can be easily registered, printed, and written in the storage medium. By using the method as described above, a basic amended law is generated, which saves a great deal of time when preparing the amended law.

[0062]

As described above, according to the present invention, a person in charge of amendment to a law simply creates a new law by amending the law to be revised, and a revised law of a basic law is automatically generated. Therefore, it is possible to drastically reduce the work time required by the person in charge of revision of laws and regulations to create revised laws and regulations, and to prepare revision laws to a certain level, and to make revision laws and regulations easily even for new appointment personnel in charge of revision. You can
