(Embodiment 1)
A user information output apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an information processing system according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 1, the information processing system according to the present embodiment includes a user information output device 1 and a plurality of information processing devices 2 to 4. The user information output device 1 and the information processing devices 2 to 4 are connected by a wired or wireless communication line 100. The communication line 100 is, for example, the Internet, an intranet, a public telephone line network, or the like.

  The user information output device 1 includes a user identification information reception unit 11, a user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12, a fellow user determination unit 13, a type identification information reception unit 14, a user information storage unit 15, and an acquisition unit 16. And an output unit 17.

  The user identification information receiving unit 11 receives user identification information. Here, the user identification information may be any information as long as it is information for identifying the user. The user identification information may be, for example, a user ID of a user, an ID of a health insurance card, or the like, or may be a user name or a telephone number. For example, the user identification information receiving unit 11 may receive information input from an input device (for example, a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, etc.), and may receive information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. Alternatively, information read from a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, etc.) may be received. In the present embodiment, the user identification information receiving unit 11 receives the transmitted user identification information. Note that the user identification information reception unit 11 may or may not include a device (for example, a modem or a network card) for reception. In addition, the user identification information receiving unit 11 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives a predetermined device.

The user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12 stores user attribute correspondence information. The process in which the user attribute correspondence information is stored in the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12 is not limited. For example, the user attribute correspondence information may be stored in the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12 via a recording medium, and the user attribute correspondence information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the user attribute correspondence information storage unit. The user attribute correspondence information input via the input device may be stored in the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12. Here, the user attribute correspondence information is information that associates the user identification information with the user attribute information that is information related to the attribute of the user identified by the user identification information. Here, “associating user identification information with user attribute information that is information related to a user attribute identified by the user identification information” means that user attribute information may be acquired from the user identification information. Therefore, the user attribute correspondence information may be information including user identification information and user attribute information, or may be information that links user identification information and user attribute information. In the latter case, the user attribute correspondence information may be information associating user identification information with a pointer or address indicating a position where the user attribute information is stored. In the present embodiment, the former case will be described. The user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.). The storage in the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12 may be temporary storage of user information read from an external storage device or the like, or may be long-term storage.

  The fellow user determining unit 13 determines a user who is identified with the user identification information received by the user identification information receiving unit 11 and a user who is a fellow. The fellow user determining unit 13 uses the user attribute correspondence information to determine a user identified as the user identification information received by the user identification information receiving unit 11 and a user who is a fellow. The fellow user determination unit 13 may determine, for example, a user whose attribute is close to that of the user identified by the user identification information received by the user identification information reception unit 11, or the user identification information reception unit. The user belonging to the same user group as the user identified by the user identification information received by 11 may be determined to be a friend. The group of users is a concept in which users having the same predetermined attribute are grouped, for example. For example, users in the same department at work may belong to the same group, and users in the same area may belong to the same group. One user may be sufficient as the fellow user which the fellow user determination part 13 determines, and two or more people may be sufficient as it.

  The type identification information receiving unit 14 receives type identification information. Here, the type identification information may be any information as long as it is information for identifying the type of user information described later. For example, the type identification information may be the name of the type of user information, or a predetermined symbol or number corresponding to the type of user information. For example, the type identification information receiving unit 14 may receive information input from an input device (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, etc.), and may receive information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. Alternatively, information read from a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, etc.) may be received. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the type identification information receiving unit 14 receives the transmitted type identification information. Note that the type identification information receiving unit 14 may or may not include a device (for example, a modem or a network card) for receiving. Further, the type identification information receiving unit 14 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives a predetermined device.

The user information storage unit 15 stores user information in association with user identification information and type identification information. The course in which user information is stored in the user information storage unit 15 does not matter. For example, user information may be stored in the user information storage unit 15 via a recording medium, and user information transmitted via a communication line or the like is stored in the user information storage unit 15. Alternatively, the user information input via the input device may be stored in the user information storage unit 15. Here, the user information may be any information as long as it is information about the user. For example, the information may be information for the user to charge the company for travel expenses such as a business trip, information for use in a conference room, or information for taking a vacation. The user information may include user specific information that is information unique to the user and user common information that is information that can be shared by two or more users. Here, the user-specific information is, for example, the user's name, the user's age, the user's home address / phone number, and the like. The user common information includes the address / phone number of the department to which the user belongs, the title of the user, and the like. For example, whether the information included in the user information is user-specific information or user-common information may be indicated by a flag, or whether the information in each field of the user information is user-specific information Alternatively, information indicating whether it is common user information may be held separately. The user information storage unit 15 can be realized by a predetermined recording medium (for example, a semiconductor memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, etc.). The storage in the user information storage unit 15 may be temporary storage of user information read from an external storage device or the like, or may be long-term storage.

  Further, the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12 and the user information storage unit 15 may be realized by the same recording medium. In that case, the area storing the user attribute correspondence information becomes the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12, and the area storing the user information becomes the user information storage unit 15.

Moreover, the acquisition part 16 may acquire only user common information among the user information corresponding to the user which the fellow user determination part 13 determined, when user information contains user specific information and user common information. . Therefore, the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 may be a part of the user information stored in the user information storage unit 15. Even in that case, a part of the user information stored in the user information storage unit 15 is referred to as user information. The user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 may be one piece or two or more pieces.

  The output unit 17 outputs the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16. Here, the output may be, for example, display on a display device (for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display), transmission via a communication line to a predetermined device, printing by a printer, or audio output by a speaker. However, it may be stored in a recording medium. In the present embodiment, the output unit 17 transmits user information. The output unit 17 may or may not include an output device (for example, a display device or a printer). The output unit 17 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives these devices.

In FIG. 10, a department field and a location field are set in the user attribute information. The department is information indicating the department to which the user belongs, and the location is information indicating the location of the department to which the user belongs.

  First, the fellow user determination unit 13 acquires the department “Human Resources Department” and the place “Osaka” as the user attribute information corresponding to the user identification information “U001” received by the user identification information reception unit 11 and temporarily stores it. (Steps S201 and S202). Further, the fellow user determining unit 13 determines whether there is a record that matches the temporarily stored department “HR” and place “Osaka” in order from the first record of the user attribute correspondence information in FIG. (Steps S203 to S209). In the user attribute correspondence information in FIG. 10, the user attribute information of the first record matches the temporarily stored user attribute information (step S204), but is the user U001's own record, so the user identification Information “U001” is not acquired. In FIG. 10, the user identification information “U005” and “U008” are acquired by at least the fellow user determination unit 13 and temporarily stored (steps S103, S206, S207).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating user identification information acquired and temporarily stored by the fellow user determination unit 13. The fellow user determination unit 13 passes the user identification information shown in FIG. 11 to the acquisition unit 16 as the user identification information received by the user identification information reception unit 11 and the user identification information of the fellow user.

  The user information storage unit 15 is assumed to store user information in association with the user identification information and type identification information shown in FIG. In the user information of FIG. 12, “A001” or the like is a file name of the user information. The acquisition unit 16 searches the user information shown in FIG. 12 for user information corresponding to the first user identification information “U005” of the user identification information in FIG. 11 (steps S302 to S306). In FIG. 12, the user identification information corresponding to the fifth user information matches the user identification information “U005” (step S303). Further, since the type identification information corresponding to the fifth user information in FIG. 12 matches the type identification information “transportation charge” received by the acquisition unit 16 from the type identification information receiving unit 14 (step S304), the acquisition unit 16 acquires the fifth user information “A005” in FIG. 12 (step S105).

  The user information is acquired as follows. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the user information “A005”. FIG. 14 is a table associating each field of “charge for transportation expenses” with a user-specific flag. The acquisition unit 16 refers to the table shown in FIG. 14 and acquires field values of fields other than the fields “user name” and “user identification information” from the user information “A005” shown in FIG. Store (steps S401 to S406). Then, the acquisition unit 16 passes the field value acquired and temporarily stored to the output unit 17. Then, the output unit 17 transmits user information composed of a plurality of field values acquired by the acquiring unit 16 to the information processing apparatus 2 that is the transmission source of the type identification information received by the type identification information receiving unit 14 ( Step S106). When user information is transmitted, the field name and field value may be transmitted in pairs so that it can be understood which field value each field value included in the user information corresponds to.

  The user information is received by the user information receiving unit 24 and passed to the user information creating unit 25. The user information creation unit 25 creates user information having each field value included in the received user information. The display unit 27 displays the user information created by the user information creation unit 25. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing user information displayed by the display unit 27. Since the field values of the fields “user name” and “user identification information” are not transmitted from the user information output device 1, they are not displayed in the user information of FIG. The user U001 inputs a user name and user identification information by operating a keyboard and a mouse, and rewrites them when the billing amount, the destination, and the business are different. Then, when the “OK” button is clicked, the user information related to the transportation expense bill created by the user U001 is transmitted to the server device that accepts the transportation expense bill, and the user U001 can bill the transportation expense. Further, the user information related to the transportation expense bill is also transmitted to the user information output device 1, received by a receiving unit (not shown), and accumulated in the user information storage unit 15.

  In this specific example, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, the case where the first user information in which the user identification information and the type identification information match is acquired is described. You may acquire all the user information corresponding to the user identification information of the user who determined that the determination part 13 was a friend, and the type identification information which the type identification information reception part 14 received. In that case, selection may be performed at the time of output by the output unit 17, or selection may be performed in the information processing apparatus 2.

  In this specific example, the case of acquiring user information other than the user has been described, but the user information of the user may be acquired. For example, user information may be created using user information input by the person in the past.

  In FIG. 12, the case where the user information “A005” or the like is the file name of the user information has been described. However, “A005” or the like may be a pointer or address indicating the location where the user information is stored. Good.

  As described above, the user information output device 1 according to the present embodiment can output user information of a user who is a friend for the user identified by the user identification information received by the user identification information receiving unit 11. Therefore, a user who creates user information uses the user information output by the user information output device 1 to create user information, thereby reducing the amount of information that must be input and creating user information. It can be done easily. Further, for example, in the case of the specific example described above, it is not necessary to prepare a sample in which a contact telephone number, a person in charge name, etc. are entered in advance for each department, and it is not necessary to prepare such a sample.

  Also, by creating user information using previously input user information, the amount of information that the user has to input can be reduced and input errors can be reduced. When new user information is accumulated in the user information storage unit 15 after confirming that there is no input error, this becomes more prominent.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the user information output device 1 is a server device of a server / client system has been described. However, the user information output device 1 may be a stand-alone device, for example. For example, the user information output device 1 may be a device that acquires user information based on user identification information or the like input from an input device such as a keyboard and records the information on a recording medium.

(Embodiment 2)
A user information creation device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The user information creation apparatus according to the present embodiment acquires user information and creates user information.

  FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the user information creation device 5 according to the present embodiment. The user information creation device 5 according to the present embodiment includes a user identification information reception unit 11, a user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12, a fellow user determination unit 13, a type identification information reception unit 14, and a user information storage unit 15. , An acquisition unit 16, an information reception unit 51, a user information creation unit 52, and a processing unit 53. Configurations and operations other than the information reception unit 51, the user information creation unit 52, and the processing unit 53 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and a description thereof is omitted.

  The information receiving unit 51 receives input of information. The information received by the information receiving unit 51 is used, for example, in creating user information by the user information creating unit 52 described later. For example, the information reception unit 51 may receive information input from an input device (for example, a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, etc.), or may receive information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line. Information read from a predetermined recording medium (for example, an optical disk, a magnetic disk, a semiconductor memory, etc.) may be received. The information receiving unit 51 may or may not include a device (for example, a modem or a network card) for receiving. In addition, the information receiving unit 51 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives a predetermined device.

  The user information creation unit 52 creates user information. The user information is created based on the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 and the information received by the information reception unit 51. Creating user information includes, for example, configuring user information and modifying / changing part or all of the configured user information.

  The processing unit 53 performs processing related to user information created by the user information creation unit 52. The process related to user information may be, for example, accumulation of user information, output of user information, or other processes. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the processing unit 53 accumulates the user information created by the user information creation unit 52 in the user information storage unit 15. Note that when the processing unit 53 outputs user information, the output may be, for example, display on a display device (for example, a CRT or a liquid crystal display), or transmission via a communication line to a predetermined device. Of course, printing by a printer or sound output by a speaker may be used. In that case, the processing unit 53 may or may not include an output device (for example, a display device or a printer). The processing unit 53 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver that drives these devices.

  In the case where any two or more elements of the user identification information receiving unit 11, the type identification information receiving unit 14, the information receiving unit 51, and the processing unit 53 have a device related to communication, they may be the same means. Alternatively, separate means may be used.

  Next, operation | movement of the user information creation apparatus 5 by this Embodiment is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG. In the flowchart of FIG. 17, the processes in steps S101 to S105 are the same as those in the flowchart of FIG. 3 of the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

(Step S501) The user information creation unit 52 creates user information based on the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 and the information received by the information reception unit 51.
(Step S502) The processing unit 53 performs processing related to the user information created by the user information creating unit 52. Then, the process returns to step S101.
In the flowchart of FIG. 17, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process ends.

Next, details of the processing in step S501 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S601) The user information creation unit 52 determines whether user information has been acquired by the acquisition unit 16. If the user information is acquired, the process proceeds to step S602. If not, the process proceeds to step S603.

  (Step S <b> 602) The user information creation unit 52 takes in the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 into the user information created by the user information creation unit 52. For example, when the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 includes information of all fields included in the user information, user information including field values for all fields is created by capturing the user information. It will be. On the other hand, for example, when the user information acquired by the acquisition unit 16 is information including information on a part of fields included in the user information, the user information including field values related to the fields is acquired by capturing the user information. Will be created, and the field values for the other fields will be null.

  (Step S603) The user information creation unit 52 determines whether the information receiving unit 51 has received an input of information. If input of information is accepted, the process proceeds to step S604, and if not, the process proceeds to step S605.

  (Step S604) The user information creation unit 52 changes the user information created by the user information creation unit 52 based on the information received by the information reception unit 51. For example, a new field value is input to a field whose field value is null, or the field value acquired by the acquisition unit 16 is changed. Then, the process returns to step S603.

  (Step S605) The user information creation unit 52 determines whether or not to finish creating user information. For example, when the information receiving unit 51 receives an instruction to end the creation of user information, the user information creating unit 52 determines to finish creating the user information. If the creation of user information is to be terminated, the user information creation process is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S106. On the other hand, if the creation of user information is not terminated, the process returns to step S603.

In addition, about the specific example of operation | movement of the user information creation apparatus 5 by this Embodiment, in the information processing system of Embodiment 1, the transmission of user information by the user information output apparatus 1 and the user information by the information processing apparatus 2 are performed.

For example, when the type of user information handled by the user information output device 1 or the like is determined, or when the user or the like selects desired user information from the acquired user information, the type identification information is used. Alternatively, user information may be acquired. For example, the acquisition unit 16 may acquire user information corresponding to the user determined by the fellow user determination unit 13. In this case, the user information in the user information storage unit 15 may be associated with the user identification information.

  In each of the above embodiments, the user information output device 1 and the user information creation device 5 may not include the user attribute correspondence information storage unit 12. In this case, the fellow user determining unit 13 may determine the fellow without using the user attribute correspondence information.
