DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus for storing a shared document, reading and using the stored shared document, an information processing method, and a computer readable recording program for causing a computer to execute the method. It relates to a recording medium.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the digital information society in recent years, it is essential to perform business using an information processing device such as a personal computer from the viewpoints of improving work efficiency, optimizing information management and preventing waste of paper resources. It has become. In particular, in recent years, with the development of a communication infrastructure, information is often collected and processed through a network such as the Internet in addition to simply creating documents and data.

[0003] Among them, document creation processing and table creation processing are basic operations in the core business of a company.
In many cases, individuals also use personal computers in order to perform these processes efficiently. In particular, in the case of a company, the format of a document created as a daily work is often fixed, and a so-called fixed form document is mostly used. Therefore, the operation of inputting the detailed items for the standard document is the majority of the document creation processing.

[0004] In addition, not only fixed forms such as applications and reports for various procedures, where the form is rarely changed or added,
In many cases, a fixed document that requires only a relatively short life span is required. Generally, a word processor application having a document creation function copies a template document selected by a user when creating a template document, and uses the copied document as an editable template document. Therefore, when a standard document in a new format is required, the user needs to create the template document.

[0005] On the other hand, when a core business is performed by a large number of employees as in a company, a LAN environment is constructed to improve productivity by sharing information and to make quick decisions by transmitting electronic information. be able to. Furthermore, by actively using the already established communication infrastructure such as the Internet, that is, by introducing an intranet, it connects the offices dispersed in various places,
It is possible to realize company-wide re-engineering.

Against this background, it is necessary to smoothly communicate and share information between users (clients) in a LAN environment and to increase the efficiency of group work. Therefore, by introducing a common platform such as groupware in the information processing device of each user, the efficiency of group work centered on circulation and browsing of documents has been improved.

The functions generally provided by this groupware include an e-mail function, an electronic bulletin board function, an electronic conference function, a schedule management function, a document management function, a workflow management function, and the like. Among them, the document management function and the workflow management function are included. When executing the function, it is important to utilize the above-mentioned fixed form document.

Here, the document management function includes character data,
This function manages documents including tables, images, and the like so that a plurality of users can use them at the same time, and exchanges a plurality of pieces of information. In addition, the workflow management function is a decision-making (approval) procedure that involves the processing of a plurality of persons to complete one of the core tasks of a company, for example, a vacation or business trip application process, an estimate approval process. This function enables operations such as settlement of travel expenses on a network.

That is, by setting the above-mentioned template document on the network in a shared manner, each user does not need to prepare the template document individually, and a situation arises in which a standard document having a short lifespan is created. Even in this case, the user can quickly use the newly created template document.

Normally, a template document is created by arranging a portion having different contents (hereinafter, referred to as a specific item) as a specific item input area on the document. This specific item input area is generally called a field, and a character input environment such as a kana character / half-width numeral and a format are set in this field according to the specific item.

The field types include, for example, a character field that accepts normal character input, a numeric field that accepts only single-byte numeric input, a date field that accepts date input in a predetermined display format, and a time input in a predetermined display format. There are a reception time field, a page number field for inserting a page number of a document being created, a document information field for inserting document information being created, and the like.

In addition to the above-described creation of a template document by setting fields, a predetermined character string (hereinafter, referred to as a specific character string) is arranged as an initial value in a portion serving as a specific item. There has been known a method of setting an explanatory sentence indicating a content to be input by a user by replacing a column with a specific character string (hereinafter, referred to as an input guide function). The template document created using this input guide function is described above when the user positions the mouse cursor or the like on a specific character string with respect to the template document created based on the template document. Provide an environment to display sentences in a balloon.

The input guide function displays not only a description but also a list of character string candidates when an input character string to be replaced with a specific character string is selected from several character string candidates. At the same time, by selecting one of the character strings displayed in the list, it is possible to set so as to perform replacement with a specific character string.

On the other hand, in the table creation process, cell data constituting the table is input using a spreadsheet application, so that not only creation of a graph obtained from numerical data but also viewing of main character string data is facilitated. To do
That is, a simple database is created.

[0015]

However, in the document creation processing using the word processor application described above, a new template document is often created by appropriately changing the template document once created. ,
At this time, the user needs to search for a specific character string of a field or an input guide scattered in the document and change the character string. Even if only a slight change is required, the user has to perform this complicated search operation. There was a problem that.

In the standard document created from the template document, the character string input to each field or the character string replaced and input with the specific character string of the input guide is
These character strings can be used as data of a database, because they can be regarded as different data for each user. Therefore, there are many opportunities to create a table from these character strings, and in the past, this table was created using a separate spreadsheet application.

Therefore, although the character string in the document created on the word processor application and the character string input as data on the spreadsheet application overlap each other, they are individually input. There is a problem in that work is required, and work efficiency is reduced from the viewpoint of reusing existing data.

According to the present invention, in order to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, a template document or a fixed-form document is created simply and efficiently, and a predetermined character string on the fixed-form document is extracted for input. An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a computer-readable recording medium on which a program for causing a computer to execute the method can be recorded, in which data can be reused.
