Abstract

The present invention provides a technique capable of generating and providing information in which various elements are associated with one another in accordance with situations. An information processing system has a server and a plurality of terminals. Each of the terminals obtains element associated information obtained by associating elements belonging to items included in a plurality of element items and transmits the element associated information to the server. The server receives the element associated information from each of the terminals. In the case where one or more terminals included in the plurality of terminals satisfies a specific condition, the server generates network information obtained by associating elements belonging to the items between the items on the basis of one or more pieces of element associated information received from the one or more terminals.

Claims

1. An information processing system comprising:

a server; and

a plurality of terminals,

wherein each of said terminals includes;

an obtaining unit for obtaining element associated information obtained by associating elements belonging to items included in a plurality of element items; and

a transmitting unit for transmitting said element associated information to said server, and

said server includes;

a receiving unit for receiving said element associated information from each of said terminals; and

a network information generating unit, in the case where one or more terminals included in said plurality of terminals satisfies a specific condition, for generating network information obtained by associating elements belonging to said items between said items on the basis of one or more pieces of element associated information received from the one or more terminals.

2. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein said server further comprises a distributing unit for distributing said network information to each of said terminals, and

each of said terminals further includes a display control unit for performing a control so that a view of information obtained by associating elements belonging to items included in a plurality of element items with each other between the items is displayed on a display unit on the basis of entire network information or partial network information included in said network information.

3. The information processing system according to claim 2, wherein each of said terminals further comprises:

an element designating unit for designating, as a report constructing element that constructs report information in accordance with a predetermined report model, one or more elements for each of the items included in said view in response to an operation of the user in a state where said view is displayed in said display unit; and

a report generating unit for generating new report information in accordance with said predetermined report model on the basis of said report constructing element.

4. The information processing system according to claim 3, wherein said report information includes radiological report information, and

said plurality of element items include a region, a remark, and a disease name.

5. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein said server further comprises a recognizing unit for recognizing that each of said terminals satisfies said specific condition on the basis of a plurality of pieces of element associated information transmitted from each of said terminals to said server.

6. The information processing system according to claim 5, wherein when the number of pieces of element associated information sent from one of said plurality of terminals to said server is included in a predetermined value range, said recognizing unit recognizes that the one terminal satisfies said specific condition.

7. The information processing system according to claim 5, wherein when proportion of element associated information including a redetermined element in a plurality of pieces of element associated information sent from one of said plurality of terminals to said server is included in a predetermined value range, said recognizing unit recognizes that the one terminal satisfies said specific condition.

8. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein said server transmits said network information to a terminal satisfying said specific condition in said plurality of terminals.

9. The information processing system according to claim 1, wherein said obtaining unit obtains said element associated information by performing a predetermined information process including a language process on sentence information to extract one or more elements belonging to each of said items from said sentence information and associate extracted elements with each other.

10. The information processing system according to claim 9, wherein said language process includes a process based on information obtained by machine learning.

11. An information processing system comprising:

a server; and

a plurality of terminals,

wherein each of said terminals includes;

an obtaining unit for obtaining element associated information obtained by associating elements belonging to items included in a plurality of element items; and

a transmitting unit for transmitting said element associated information to said server, and

said server includes;

a receiving unit for receiving said element associated information from each of said terminals; and

a network information generating unit for generating first network information obtained by associating elements belonging to said items between said items on the basis of one or more pieces of element associated information received from one or more terminals satisfying a first specific condition included in said plurality of terminals, and for generating second network information obtained by associating elements belonging to said items between said items on the basis of one or more pieces of element associated information received from one or more terminals satisfying a second specific condition included in said plurality of terminals.

12. The information processing system according to claim 11, wherein said server further comprises a distributing unit for distributing said first or second network information to each of said terminals.

13. The information processing system according to claim 11, wherein said server further comprises a recognizing unit for recognizing that each of said terminals satisfies said first or second specific condition on the basis of a plurality of pieces of element associated information transmitted from each of said terminals to said server.

14. The information processing system according to claim 11, wherein said server transmits said first network information to a terminal satisfying said first specific condition in said plurality of terminals, and transmits said second network information to a terminal satisfying said second specific information in said plurality of terminals.
