Description

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC PREPARATION OF LEGAL DOCUMENT}

The present invention relates to a method and system for automatically creating legal documents.

Online contracts are also being activated due to the recent development of IT technology, but there is a limit to having a legal “effect”. Differences exist in the conventional paper documents and electronic documents in terms of granting validity, and the term'effect' here refers to the formal evidence of the document (authenticity established, meaning that it was created and established in accordance with the will of the document's name holder). It says that the article should be able to prove the true establishment of the private documents.

In the case of a paper document, the so-called “two-step estimation” is judged as an established law, in which the imprint's authenticity is estimated due to the fact that Inyoung's authenticity is established. On the other hand, in the case of an electronic document such as a contract, a method for acquiring the formal evidence power and further, a method for acquiring the actual evidence power (authentication of the document content) may be a problem. Therefore, in order to solve these problems, it is necessary to continuously develop technologies and establish business strategies.

The fundamental problems that need to be solved in order to develop such a technology and establish a business strategy are the first, the relationship between the parties between the contracting parties, and the second, the web/mobile digital signature authentication.

Regarding the relationship between the parties between the contracting parties, it is necessary to provide services to assist the contract so that the parties in the position of the relative are not treated unfairly and claim legal rights in the future. Because it is often difficult for a party in a position to request a face-to-face contract, it should be natural and easy to request and proceed with the contract, and it is easy and simple to implement the contract creation process to facilitate the contract even if you are not familiar with the law. At the same time, it should be able to connect with legal expert advisory services. In addition, management/storage of the written contract is convenient, and it is necessary to enable both sides to continuously implement and comply with the contract through a notification function for the specific contract.

Regarding the issue of personal authentication of web/mobile digital signatures, as the amendment of the Personal Information Protection Act came into effect on August 7, 2014, the collection of resident registration numbers without statute is prohibited, creating an environment in which electronic signature identification methods for legal effects are limited. Should be considered. New online self-identification methods are emerging to replace the social security administration's social security number, such as iPin, but they are still limited in terms of electronic signature self-identification methods that have low penetration and utilization and can have legal effects. In other words, the only and most powerful existing online self-certification method accredited certificate has a complicated procedure, and there are many limitations on the scope of use depending on the situation, so there is a controversy to abolish it. Accordingly, in order to create an electronic signature that is legally effective for various transactions and contracts occurring on the web/mobile, research and development of the personal authentication technology is urgent. If the other party insists that the signature was not made by the other party, the responsibility to prove that the signature was established based on the other party's intention lies with the party claiming the authenticity of the document. There is. Therefore, there is a need to investigate the means of personal authentication that are currently frequently performed online, and furthermore, to review the functions of these means in essence according to laws and regulations.

Accordingly, the present invention is to propose a technique that can solve the above problems.

The present invention proposes a mobile-based contract creation and exchange service that solves the problems described above. Through this service, the general public can make it easier and more familiar to prepare contracts necessary for protecting their rights and preventing the occurrence of legal disputes, and through the mobile application supporting smartphone devices and tablet devices, The creation and sealing are implemented to provide convenience in terms of mobility and immediacy, and through the desktop web-based service, contracts can be created, reviewed, and the contracts signed can be managed. Both the technical method for preventing repudiation and the method for preventing falsification and authenticity are applied to the created contract. In addition, contracts such as job information services, used trading services, and real estate transaction sites, along with the role of a channel to receive secondary services such as contract review, legal advice, and counseling from law experts such as lawyers, patent attorneys, labor agents, lawyers, and certified brokers We intend to develop a PaaS service that facilitates the provision of a contract writing service to this frequently performed online service, thereby increasing service points of contact and contributing to enhancing the convenience of the people.

The present invention provides a service that facilitates the creation of an electronic document form contract having a legal effect through an electronic device such as a smartphone. A contract is a documenting an appointment between a person and a person or between a person and a company, but in this process, the contract mentioned above may not be properly executed due to problems related to the relationship, lack of knowledge and experience in the law, etc. Therefore, anyone can easily and conveniently write and review a proper contract through a simple question-and-answer through an electronic device, and provide technology/services for personal authentication, signature, sharing and storage.

According to the present invention, a method and system for automatically preparing a legal document that can be a legal protection device in a dictionary meaning that can solve the structural problems of the existing contract market and improve the accessibility and satisfaction of the whole nation as a consumer can be proposed. .

The ripple effect of the present invention is as follows in technical aspect, economic/industrial aspect and social aspect.

<Technical aspects>

1) It is possible to increase the rate of contract creation by making it easier to process existing contracting methods such as writing, signing, and sending contracts through IT technology.

-Improved access to contract creation through IT technology and convenient UI/UX service planning that automatically customizes the standard contract to suit your situation through simple question and answer

-Unlike existing methods that required expertise in the field to prepare, review, and revise contracts, if you answer a question appropriate to your situation, the contract is automatically created and can be reviewed, so anyone can write a contract.

2) It can be the basis for the activation of online contracts and related technology development through research/development of self-certification technology for electronic documents that can replace social security numbers and accredited certificates.

-It is possible to simplify the process with the research/development of the corresponding technology, because the hassle of repeating the same procedure when sharing and modifying it after contracting offline and sharing it through existing work.

-In recent years, the financial industry can contribute to the development of related technologies in line with the active demand for simplified self-certification technology that can replace public certificates.

<economic/social aspects>

1) When the number of legal contracts increases due to the activation of online contracts, it is possible to create economic value-added by increasing the work of solving problems in the post-contract contract by law/labor experts and improving efficiency.

-Since the establishment of law school, lawyers have increased by more than 15% every year, but demand has stagnated and the per capita income has been decreasing. Revitalization of contract culture creates demand for legal services.

-Due to the increase in evidence for various problems in the contract, the time/effort cost required for resolution in the event of a dispute decreases, resulting in increased value added by the available time of legal/labor experts.

2) By increasing access to legal services, more people are expected to grow in the industry itself due to the popularization of legal services through economic activities within the boundaries of the law.

-Cases that have not been prepared for a contract or have not been legally protected because it has been favorably created on one side are incorporated into the potential demand for legal services.

-If the potential demand for legal services increases in proportion to the increase in lawyers who are legal service providers, the legal service transaction amount and the industry itself can grow.

<Social aspect>

1) Through the revitalization of a sound contract culture, the legal rights of relative socially disadvantaged persons can be guaranteed in the relationship, and everyone contributes to creating an equal society before the law.

-Prior to all transactions and employment, accessibility has been increased so that contracts can be made easily and easily so that legal rights can be guaranteed regardless of the relationship.

-Even those who do not know the law can make it possible to write the right contract in the light of their situation so that anyone can set the standard of equality before the law.

2) The legal services market was a poor and poor wealth market where most transactions are concentrated on some of the famous lawyers and customers of the upper class, but more opportunities will be evenly distributed among the covered long-tail clients and lawyers due to the increase in contract writing.

-Due to the nature of the legal market, if there are problems in general, customers are visiting judges or reputable lawyers, so there is a phenomenon of poor and poor. Especially, new lawyers, which are increasing due to the launch of law school, are bound to have great difficulties in sales.

-When a legal problem arises from the customer's point of view, it is difficult to prove because the contract is not prepared properly, so even if you go to a legal expert, the commission is high or it is difficult to properly resolve through legal services, but such long-tailed customers can be incorporated into the legal market.

-The contract is expected to increase the number of potential customers who have not been transferred to the legal market. Most of them are small-scale clients, so there will be more opportunities for long-tail lawyers.

-Server technology: The server technology of the present invention utilizes the latest technology that supports asynchronous processing based on Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. This enables users to provide fast and stable services to users, including Web Socket technology that enables mobile/web clients to communicate with servers in real time. In the case of DB, it uses MongoDB and Redis to consider both the stability and efficiency of data communication and storage, and enables data to be stored stably using duplication and backup technologies such as Replica and Sharding. In addition, the server can use the cloud server service in consideration of determinism, ease of management, and security preparation and stability.

-Desktop web client technology: Various client technologies can be used, especially application technologies for front frameworks such as Angular.js. Angular.js takes a lot of user interaction at the front end (client), away from the traditional server-side web programming language and past development methods based on HTML/CSS. In addition, the reusability of the client technology and the UI greatly improves the efficiency of technology development, and it is an easy framework for collaboration with designers.

-Non-repudiation application technology: Signature and user authentication are the most important parts of the contract. The anti-repudiation technology of the present invention may use a method provided by a nationally accredited identity authentication agency, but may additionally utilize a two-factor authentication function such as identity authentication, phone number authentication, identification card shooting, face shooting, and voice recording. This can further increase the credibility and evidence of the contract by authenticating the individual through two methods, what-you-have and what-you-know.

Such a method and system for automatically creating a legal document of the present invention can ensure the following performance.

-Simultaneous service access throughput (request/sec): Since concurrent service access throughput can provide a stable and comfortable service to many users, the present invention can be implemented to support 1,000 processes per second or 10,000 processes per second.

-Service access guarantee rate (server uptime/month): The server uptime refers to the time when the service is normally provided and is based on the value of the availability report of New Relic, a monitoring solution. According to the present invention, if any of the primary and secondary servers created for server redundancy corresponds to uptime, there is no problem in accessing and using the service, and thus the target service access guarantee rate can be provided.

-Client mobile device coverage (domestic market share of service-supported devices): Mobile devices have different screen resolutions, support functions, and OS versions, so device coverage is considered important for user usability. Accordingly, the present invention may be implemented to be applicable to all mobile devices having a predetermined share or higher among device share of a domestic mobile device (smartphone/tablet).

-Electronic contract creation and response speed (ms): The contract generated in the present invention is a contract including a signature and non-repudiation device, and after the contract is created on the server at the request of the client, the final contract is sent to the contracting parties and the client You can check at. The present invention can significantly reduce the time from the time when the client requests to enter into a contract to the time when the final contract can be confirmed, compared to the existing platform.
