LegalTech Co., Ltd. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tomoyuki Hirai) announced that its AI knowledge base "AI IPGenius" has been initially adopted by the design and development department of a precision optical equipment manufacturer (company name undisclosed) for design history analysis.
In this implementation, the system is utilized to comprehensively organize design change histories and evaluation records accumulated in the development sites of precision optical equipment, grasping technical relevance and trends in changes. This aids in organizing the review process by looking back at the relationship between past design decisions and quality changes.
## Background
In the development of precision optical equipment, numerous design elements such as lens configuration, coating conditions, material placement, and assembly precision are intricately related. These are gradually changed during the prototyping and evaluation processes, and their histories are accumulated in various forms such as design documents, evaluation reports, and meeting minutes.
On the other hand, this information is often managed dispersedly as individual documents, making it difficult to grasp the flow of design changes and their impact comprehensively. Furthermore, when signs of defects or quality deterioration appear as an accumulation of multiple small changes, it takes time and effort to manually trace their interconnections.
Against this background, there has been increasing interest in mechanisms to comprehensively organize design histories and understand trends and relationships in changes.
This time, in the research and development department of a precision optical equipment manufacturer, AI IPGenius was introduced as a solution.
## Use Case: AI Comprehensively Analyzes Research Notes and Meeting Minutes, Extracts Core Technologies
In the research and development department of a precision optical equipment manufacturer (company name undisclosed), AI IPGenius was introduced for design history analysis and utilized by inputting the following materials:
- Design change history documents
- Evaluation test reports
- Meeting minutes
- Past technical documents
AI IPGenius on IDX comprehensively analyzed and organized:
- Organization of performance changes accompanying design modifications
- Extraction of elements that may be related to quality fluctuations
- Structural relevance to similar design themes
- Relationship with past evaluation results
This makes it possible to chronologically organize trends in image quality fluctuations that result from accumulated fine adjustments to lens placement or changes in coating conditions, for example. Researchers used the extracted points as a starting point for discussions, reaffirming design intentions and reorganizing themes.
Furthermore, a system was established to instantly search for similar technologies by linking the extracted data with MyTokkyo.Ai.
## About AI IPGenius on IDX
AI IPGenius is a knowledge base targeting unstructured data in the research and development domain. It integrally analyzes diverse data formats, including PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and image-containing materials, to perform content-based search, summarization, and structuring.
It can comprehensively analyze design documents, technical memos, and evaluation reports, organizing information from the perspectives of technical challenges, solutions, and effects. It also supports the extraction of technical insights by combining multiple documents and the organization of relationships between similar themes.
In addition, search functions targeting shared files and past documents help in grasping information that tends to be dependent on individual staff members. This promotes the accumulation and reuse of knowledge in research and development.
## Expected Effects
This initiative is expected to bring about the following effects:
- Reduction of time spent searching design histories
- Promotion of technical information organization and reuse
- Support for organizing perspectives for invention extraction
- Streamlining of design theme consideration
- Promotion of knowledge sharing
By organizing the relationship between design changes and quality changes, the system is expected to be utilized to enhance the foresight of the review process.
## Future Developments
Going forward, the following functional enhancements are planned for research and development sites:
- Strengthening of technical theme exploration models
- Advanced structuring models for experiment logs and design histories
- Strengthening of technical comparison and difference extraction models
Through these enhancements, the aim is to develop a technical utilization platform that spans across design, evaluation, and intellectual property processes.
