Univis Law Office (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Lawyer: Kunitaro Yabuki, hereafter Univis) provides 'ad-vis' (https://ad-vis.univis-law.com/), an advertising display legality check app designed to assist in confirming risks and necessary disclosure items based on laws and guidelines related to advertising.
To accommodate a broader range of advertising practices, ad-vis has now established a new category for 'Other Products/Services', enabling advertising display checks across all industries. At the same time, 'Esthetic Salons' and 'OTC Drugs' have been added to the priority categories, expanding support for areas where advertising issues and risks are prone to arise.
In priority industries such as medical clinics, health foods, and cosmetics, the system now supports analysis that switches checking perspectives based on the specific type of product or service. Furthermore, in addition to strengthening the analysis function utilizing past disciplinary cases, a major update was implemented, including improvements in OCR accuracy and processing speed.
## Main Update Details
### - 'Type Selection Function' Corresponding to Checking Perspectives by Industry
To support advertising display checks tailored to the practical needs of each industry, ad-vis has added a 'Type Selection Function' corresponding to each sector. This allows for more appropriate analysis under condition settings tailored to the characteristics of the products and media.
Particularly in industries where expression regulations and checking perspectives tend to become complex, such as medical clinics, health foods, and cosmetics, setting conditions by type enables practical ad compliance checks.
For example, medical clinics can be analyzed according to the classification before and after restriction lifting (gentei-kaijo). Health foods can be analyzed according to food classifications such as general foods, foods for specified health uses (FOSHU), foods with nutrient function claims, and foods with function claims.
Also, for cosmetics, the checking perspective can be switched between general cosmetics and medicated cosmetics (quasi-drugs), allowing for a more appropriate analysis tailored to the characteristics of the merchandise.
### - Enabling Analysis of All Products and Services through Support for 'Other Products/Services'
With the newly added support for 'Other Products/Services', analysis of a wide variety of merchandise is now possible.
