1.0INTRODUCTION

Cellular Phones can serve a wide variety ofneeds. They are very advanced and have the

fastest networks and data streaming. Android

Phones are being the updated innovative

technology in the generation nowadays sincethey are continuously developing and beingsupported by many people. With this, android

phones can be used as a tool to explore differentapplications that can only be manipulated fromthis kind of phones. There are some

applications that are associated to android

phones which are relatively connected into the

law that talks about the rules and guidelines thatenforced through social institutions to governbehaviour. This study is about the development

of an application about the Philippine Law

particularly in Banking Law and its articles,violations and penalties.

The issues regarding this study are, people

cannot easily approach attorney/lawyerpersonally about their concerns and that theFilipino people are unable to be familiar with

banking law.

The general objective of the study is to design

and develop an expert system that will help the

user to gain information and to be familiar with

the Philippine Law particularly in BankingLaw. Specific objectives are the following:

To list all the articles and sections of

the Banking Law.

To generate the violations and

penalties of the Banking Law

specifically in Money Laundering and

Operations.

To apply the Hidden Markov Model

algorithm for the speech recognition

through the use of internet

connection.

To evaluate users on the accuracy of

the mobile application.

The significance of the study to ICT/ResearchArea is that it can be used as an example for thefutureexpert system developers or for the future

developers who will develop the same topic

which is about Law. Future developers can getideas on what and how to develop an expert

system for subjects related to Law.

2.0 RELATED WORKSThe following are the examples of the related

works and literature of Philippine Law:

Expert System for Construction Project

Monitoring

Expert System for Construction ProjectMonitoring is a kind of knowledge based Expert


4/13

Systems for the purpose of construction projectmonitoring and control are being described in

this system. It was originally developed from

the research in Artifzicial Intelligence; it wasperformed by the highly skilled people in terms

of Expert System. The capability of knowledge

based expert systems to deal with ill structuredproblems and to be extensively modified overtime make them desirable for application in thisarea. Sample applications and heuristic rules in

scheduling and inventory control are provided

[7]. The Philippine Law is the same with theExpert System for Construction Project

Monitoring aside from the concept of being anExpert System where it also deals with the

different problems and the application can serveas a source by providing an answer to thequestions. The difference of the two is that: in

Philippine Law provides information about law,

while the related works provide user an

application for Construction ProjectMonitoring.

A Human Rights Approach to the Mobile

InternetAccording to Lisa Horner, the mobile internet is

helping to advance human rights and capacities

through providing new opportunities forcitizens to share information and ideas and to

participate in public life. Mobile phonesfacilitate instant and ubiquitous communication,

thereby increasing the power of citizenjournalism, crowdsourcing and other forms ofexpression. Mobile phones are also helping to

bridge the digital divide for people who do nothave access to computers and fixed-line

connections [8]. The similarity of the twoapplications is that both provide informationabout the law. The difference of the two is that:

in Philippine Law, the application is accessible

without the internet connection, while inHuman Rights users can share the information

or content of the application using an internet

connection.

System is about a medical application while,

Philippine Law is a mobile application thatprovides information in Banking Law.

SHYSTER: A Pragmatic Legal Expert

System

Most legal expert systems attempt to implementcomplex models of legal reasoning. But the

utility of a legal expert system lies not in the

extent to which it simulates a lawyers approach

to a legal problem, but in the quality of itspredictions and of its arguments. A complexmodel of legal reasoning is not necessary: a

successful legal expert system can be basedupon a simplified model of legal reasoning.Some researchers have based their systems

upon a jurisprudential approach to the law, yet

lawyers are patently able to operate without anyjurisprudential insight. A useful legal expert

system should be capable of producing advicesimilarity that which one might get from a

lawyer, so it should operate at the samepragmatic level of abstraction as does alawyernot at the more philosophical level of

jurisprudence [19]. The similarity of the twoapplications is the objective to provide a legal

expert capable of providing an advice that usermight need from a lawyer. However, PhilippineLaw has a speech recognition feature.

iRightsiRights (a legal resource of human rights law

document) is a paid mobile application in

iTunes that is the ultimate resource for humanrights lawyers, students and activists. Thiscomposes of more that 800+ human rights lawdocuments from Africa, to America and Europe

[20]. The similarity is that both applications

provide information about a specific law.

However, in Philippine Law the mobileapplication contains only the Banking Law

while, in iRights the contents of the applicationare laws from different countries.

3.0THEORETICAL

FRAMEWORK

In this section, the components of an expert

system, theories, algorithm and databasestructure are discussed.

3.1 Components of an Expert

System

1. Knowledge Acquisition allows theexpert to enter the knowledge or

expertise into the Expert System andto refine it later as and when required.[21] This component was used in the

application wherein the user willanswer the required questions.

2. Knowledge Elicitation process itselfusually consists of several stages:

Find as much as possible about theproblem and domain; Try tocharacterize the types of reasoning

and problem solving tasks; Find an

expert (or set of experts) that is

willing to collaborate on the project;Interview the expert. [21] This

component was used in theapplication by providing a set ofquestions from the expert, that theuser will answer and the application

will provide a solution.

3. The Inference Engineis a computerprogram that tries the derive answersfrom a knowledge base. This

component was used in theapplication by filtering answers of the

user from the knowledge base.

4. User Interface in the industrial

design field of human-machineinteraction, is the space whereinteraction between humans and

machines occurs. This component

used by the application to have aninteraction between human and expert

system.


8/13

5. Knowledge Base is an Information

Repository that provides a means for

information to be collected,organized, shared, searched, and

utilized. It can be either machine-

readable or intended for human [20].This component used in theapplication is the database that hasstored information and a set of

questions to be answered by the

system to retrieve the accurate result.

3.2 Theories

3.2.1Decision TheoryIt is based on the axioms of probability and

utility. Where probability theory provides a

framework for coherent representation of

uncertain beliefs, utility theory adds a set ofprinciples for consistency among beliefs,preferences, and decisions. A decision is an

irrevocable allocation of resources under thecontrol of decision maker. Preferences describea decision-makers relative ordering the

desirability of possible state of the world [22].

3.2.2 Utility TheoryProvides ways to express attitudes towards

uncertainty about outcome values, such as riskaversion. The valuation of an outcome can bebased on the traditional well as on other

dimension of value, including pleasure, pain,life-years, and computational effort. Multiattribute utility theory provides ways to

combine all these elements to produce asingular scalar utility to represent the relative

desirability of any certain outcome. Based onthe axioms of decision theory, it is relativelyeasy to show that one should select the decision

that maximizes the expected utility over a set of

decisions with uncertain outcomes

[23].

3.3 AlgorithmSpeech Recognition for application Voice SMS

is done on Google server, using the hidden

Markov models (HMMs) algorithm. Processinvolves the conversion of acoustic speech intoa set of words and is performed by software

component. Accuracy of speech recognition

systems differ in vocabulary size andconfusability, speaker dependence vs.

independence, modality of speech (isolated,

discontinuous, or continuous speech, read orspontaneous speech), task and language

constraints. [24]

Expert System about Philippine Law usingSpeech Recognition used the hidden Markovmodels (HMMs) algorithm to translate a spoken

word into text so the application can provide an

accurate result for the users. When the userspeaks, the word will then be converted into a

text. The following are the codes used for thespeech recognition of the system:

public void startVoiceRecognition() {Intent i = new

Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZ

E_SPEECH);

i.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,

RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);

i.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_

LANGUAGE_MODEL, "Sample");

i.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_MAX_RESULTS, 1);

startActivityForResult(i,check);

Figure 1. Database Structure

This phase shows the database structure of thesystem. It defines the constraints that connect ineach database table. Each table has different ID

and different content. The TBL_CASE_LOGtable which is connected to TBL_TOPICS table

and TBL_OFFENSE table consists of foreignkey from the two tables. When the user accessthe application and goes to Consult tab, the

database can detect what the user chose from

the choices in the content of TBL_TOPICStable and TBL_OFFENSE table. In this case,the system database specifically theTBL_CASE_LOG table can simply record the

data of what the user has chosen from theapplications Consult to Lawyer.

4.0 METHODS

4.1 System Architecture

Figure 2. System Architecture

Figure 2 is the System Architecture. First, when

the user accessed the application, the mainmenu interface will appear. Main menu consistsof three buttons: the Home, Articles and

Consult to Lawyer. The Home button contains

the definition of the Banking Law. The Articles

button contains the list of articles of theBanking Law. The system has a search function

in the Articles button, user may type a word,phrase or number of the chapters and articles ofthe Banking Law in the search bar. User mayalso use the speech recognition in searching for

articles and chapters of the Banking Law. The

third button, the Consult to Lawyer allows users

to select a topic on the three categories of theBanking Law. The user will then answer a setof questions until he gets the explanation,

violation, penalties and articles. The knowledge

base is where the database is stored. When the

user answers a set of questions from the

database it will process on the inference engine.

Figure 3, Figure 4, and Figure 5 show theDecision Making Tree of the system. The user

will choose between the three topics underbanking law, the Establishment, Money

Laundering, and Operations. When the user hasalready selected the specific topic, the user will

then answer a set of questions until the user gets

the result: the violations and penalty for theoffense committed.

4.3 Development ApplicationProcess
