Hereinafter, the configuration and function of the document inspection device 1 of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description, the same elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted as appropriate. In the present disclosure, "same file format" means, for example, a file that can be opened by the same application and / or has, for example, the same extension. The "search" includes a search using a so-called regular expression in a character string search. "Phrase" is a meaning including a term formed by a word and an idiom, and including a term to which an adjective is connected. In the present disclosure, "file" means an electronic file.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of the document inspection device 1. As shown in this figure, the document inspection device 1 includes a processing device 10 and an input / output device interface 15. The processing device 10 can be a so-called information processing device mainly composed of an electronic circuit using a semiconductor circuit element. For example, it has a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a volatile storage unit 12 such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), a non-volatile storage unit 13 such as a flash memory and a hard disk, and a network interface 14 for connecting to a communication network. ing. The input / output device interface 15 may include a semiconductor element or the like that serves as an interface for connecting the input / output devices 16 such as a display device, a keyboard, and a touch panel. The processing device 10 inputs a file in which a document is saved, determines whether or not the words and phrases contained in the document are correct, and highlights the words and phrases determined to be correct in the same file format as the input file. You may output a file that incorporates. Further, the processing device 10 stores the first word / phrase searched in the first search in the digitized document, replaces the first word / phrase with a character string not searched in the second search, and then performs a second search. May be performed and the second word / phrase searched by the second search may be saved.

Hereinafter, specific processing of the document inspection device 1 will be described, but the processing performed by the document inspection device 1 can be realized by software (application) that operates the above-mentioned hardware.

The document inspection device 1 in the present embodiment may be a so-called stand-alone operation that processes a document file stored in the document inspection device 1, or is connected to a communication network 3 and used as shown in FIG. It may be connected from the user terminal 2 via the communication network 3, receive the document file from the user terminal 2, and process the received document file. When processing the received document file, it is not necessary to have the input / output device interface 15 and the input / output device 16.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the document inspection process S100 of the document inspection apparatus 1. As shown in this flowchart, the processing device 10 inputs a file received by the document inspection device 1 via the communication network 3 or stored in the document inspection device 1, and is based on the document in the input file. Then, the correct phrase used for the determination is determined (step S101). When determining the correct phrase used for this determination, the processing device 10 determines the correct phrase based on the list of terms contained in the document of the file and / or the number of occurrences of the phrase contained in the document. Can be done. For example, in the case where the document is a patent specification, the combination of the term and the code described in the "Explanation of Code" column may be determined as the correct phrase, and in the "Form for Carrying Out the Invention" column. In the combination of terms for the described symbols, the combination with a large number of occurrences may be determined as the correct phrase. The processing device 10 may use either of these or both.

In addition, for example, when determining a combination having a large number of occurrences as a correct phrase, it is necessary to extract the phrase from the document. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the phrase extraction process S200 of the document inspection device 1. As shown in this flowchart, the processing device 10 first searches (extracts) words and phrases by the first search (step S201). The search here may be a search by a search formula using a so-called regular expression. Next, the searched phrase is saved, and the searched phrase in the document is replaced with a phrase that is not detected in the next search (step S202). As the phrase to be replaced, for example, a space character or the like may be used. At this time, the number of characters after replacement can be the same as the number of characters before replacement.

After that, the phrase is first searched by the second search (step S203), and the searched (extracted) phrase is saved. Here, after the second search, the same processing as in step S202 may be performed to perform the third and subsequent searches. By performing such a word / phrase extraction process, the second search can be performed without detecting the same word / phrase in the second search as the word / phrase searched in the first search. For example, when the first search searches for a character string consisting only of kanji and the second search searches for a character string consisting of kanji and katakana, the second search target is the first search. It is effective when it is included. In addition, a duplicated document can be used as the document in which the phrase is replaced.

The processing device 10 of the document inspection device 1 stores the first word / phrase searched in the first search in the digitized document in the word / phrase extraction process S200, and the first word / phrase is not searched in the second search. After replacing it with a character string, a second search can be performed and the second phrase extracted by the second search can be saved. In this way, the correct phrase can be determined from the phrases extracted by the phrase extraction process S200. Since the search process used in such a phrase extraction process S200 is a process for searching for a desired term, it is a process different from so-called morphological analysis, such as decomposing a sentence into part of speech. The word / phrase extraction process S200 can be used for word / phrase extraction required for various purposes, not limited to the use of the present embodiment.

Returning to FIG. 3, in step S102, it is determined whether or not the correct phrase determined in step S101 is detected in the document. Here, if the correct phrase is not detected (step S102: No), the process proceeds to step S104. When the correct phrase is detected (step S102: Yes), the processing device 10 incorporates information for first highlighting the detected phrase in the document in the file (step S103). The information for the first highlighting can be, for example, information for performing predetermined decoration in a standardized format such as HTML (HyperText Markup Language) or XML (Extensible Markup Language). Highlighting includes, for example, bold, underlined, highlighting called markers or highlighters, comment insertion with selected words of interest, and the like.

Subsequently, in step S104, it is determined in the document whether or not an incorrect phrase different from the determined correct phrase is detected. Here, if an incorrect phrase is not detected (step S104: No), the process ends. When an incorrect phrase is detected (step S104: Yes), the processing device 10 performs a second highlighting of the detected phrase of the document in the file, which is different from the first highlighting. The information is incorporated (step S105), and the process ends. Similar to the first highlighting, the second highlighting may be any of bold, underlined, highlighting called a marker or highlighter, insertion of a comment in which the target phrase is selected, or the like. However, unlike the first highlighting, the difference can be visually identified when the file is displayed. Here, the second highlighting may not be performed, and only the first highlighting may be performed.

In the above-mentioned "detection of correct words" and "detection of incorrect words", for example, "first search" and "second search" of the word extraction process of FIG. 4 may be used, respectively. That is, if the correct phrase is found, the searched phrase is saved, the searched phrase in the document is replaced with a phrase that is not found in the next search, and then the incorrect phrase is searched for in the document. , Can be saved. The order of "detection of correct words" in step S102 of FIG. 3 and "detection of incorrect words" in step S104 may come first.

The processing device 10 can output the document in which the first highlighting and the second highlighting are performed as a file. That is, the file is stored in the document inspection device 1, or when the request is from the user terminal 2 connected to the communication network 3, the file is transmitted to the user terminal 2 via the communication network 3. Can be done.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a screen 20 displayed on the display device of the document inspection device 1 or the display device of the user terminal 2 when the file is output. As shown in this figure, the processing device 10 can display the information 21 to 22 related to the determination of correctness at the time of outputting the file. In FIG. 5, as information related to the determination of correctness, the phrase 21 to be determined to be correct and the number 22 of the phrase determined to be incorrect are displayed. Further, when transmitting to the user terminal 2 via the communication network 3, the display 23 prompting the download may be included. By performing such a display, the user can recognize whether the word is correctly recognized or the number of words to be considered for correction in the document inspection before checking the file. It is possible to estimate in advance the correction time of the inspected document in.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a screen 30 when the output file is displayed on the display device of the document inspection device 1 or the display device of the user terminal 2. Since the output file has the same file format as the input file, it can be opened using the same application. As shown in this figure, the phrase "processing device 10" determined to be correct and the phrase "processing unit 10" determined to be incorrect in the output file are the highlight 31 and the highlight 31. It is indicated by a highlighting 32 different from.

In the conventional inspection device, even if an incorrect phrase may be detected, the phrase determined to be correct in the inspection cannot be identified and displayed, so that the phrase is determined to be correct or is not detected as a phrase. I didn't know what it was, and as a result, people sometimes inspected all the words. However, in the present embodiment, since the words and phrases determined to be correct are highlighted, the user who confirms the document may confirm the document by inspecting only the part where the highlighting is not performed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the burden of inspection by humans. In addition, when performing a second highlighting of a phrase that is determined to be incorrect, it is possible to examine the correction of the phrase that is determined to be incorrect and inspect the part that is not highlighted. Since the document can be confirmed, the burden of inspection by a person can be further reduced.

In addition, since the file is output in the same file format as the input file, the user can check the highlighted part while keeping the positional relationship of the sentences already recognized. In addition, since the file format is the same, the highlighted part can be reexamined such as correction while deleting the highlighting, and the corrected file can be used as it is.

It should be noted that the description of the above-described embodiment is an example, and the case where changes and modifications that can be conceived by those skilled in the art are included in the scope of the idea of the present invention also belongs to the scope of the present invention. For example, a component of the embodiment that has been changed to a substitutable structure or that the component has been deleted also belongs to the scope of the present invention as long as it is within the scope of the idea of the present invention.
