Patent Application for Information Processing Apparatus and Method Revealed

Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

A patent application has been filed by Japanese inventors Kazuhiro Hatakeda, Chiho Iwahashi, Toshinori Miyoshi, Kenta Murakami, and Misato Sasaki, detailing their proposed invention for an information processing apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The application, filed on January 14, 2025, was made available online on October 16, 2025. According to the inventors, the present invention relates to a technology for responding to user requests using a language model, such as a transformer model. However, the existing technology lacks measures for non-response situations, leading to room for improvement.

Key Takeaways:

  • The proposed information processing apparatus includes a generation unit, reception unit, and determination unit, which work together to generate non-response target information, receive user requests, and determine whether the request is a non-response target.
  • The generation unit generates non-response target information based on non-response category information, which is correlated with a designated category in advance as a non-response category.
  • The generation unit uses a language model to generate information indicating a risk in the non-response category as non-response target information.
  • The app includes a selection unit that selects two or more pieces of non-response target information based on non-response accuracy for each combination of two or more pieces of non-response target information.
  • The app also includes an evaluation unit that evaluates non-response accuracy for each combination of two or more pieces of non-response target information, and the selection unit selects, based on an evaluation result, the two or more pieces of non-response target information.
  • The information processing method executed by a computer includes a generation step, reception step, and determination step, which work together to generate non-response target information, receive user requests, and determine whether the request is a non-response target.
  • Non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an information processing program is also detailed in the patent application.

Statistics:

  • 5 inventors contributed to the patent application: Kazuhiro Hatakeda, Chiho Iwahashi, Toshinori Miyoshi, Kenta Murakami, and Misato Sasaki.
  • The patent application was filed on January 14, 2025, and made available online on October 16, 2025.
  • 10 claims are included in the patent application, detailing the information processing apparatus and method.
