An employee code, employee name, organization code, hire date, retirement date, salary grade, job category, previous organization code, and change date are stored in the employee master for personnel management. The organization master for HR management includes the current organization code, old organization code, current organization name, old organization name, parent organization code, organization start date, organization abolition date, valid / invalid flag (1: valid) , 0: invalid) is stored.

  The print information management server 14 stores an organization master for print management, an employee master for print management, and an affiliate master for print management.

  FIG. 2 is an example of an organization master for print management stored in the print information management server in FIG.

  In FIG. 2, the organization master for print management includes the current organization code, organization name, section name, organization start date (organization change date information), organization abolition date (organization change date) Information), an old organization code (organization change history information), and an old ratio (a ratio of taking over the number of prints and a print charge amount of the old organization) (print burden ratio information) are stored.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the personnel information management terminal 11 transmits personnel master change data (organization master change information) for updating the personnel master associated with personnel changes to the personnel information management server 12.

  The personnel information management server 12 stores the personnel master change data received from the personnel information management terminal 11 and updates the personnel master.

  The printing apparatus 16 performs print output of a print job received from a PC (not shown), FAX image data transferred from a FAX (not shown) or FAX image data received by itself, and copying in the main body. These print logs are transmitted to the print information management server 14, and the print information management server 14 stores the print log received from the printing device 16. The printing device 16 stores these print logs in a storage unit (not shown) such as a hard disk, and stores the print logs in the print information management server 14 at predetermined intervals (for example, every hour or every half day). May be sent.

  FIG. 3 is an example of a print log transmitted by the printing apparatus in FIG.

  In FIG. 3, the print log includes the IP address of the printing device 16, job type (F: received fax printing, C: copy, P: printer), print document name, print start time, number of printed pages, number of sheets, color. / Monochrome mode, paper size (A4, B4, A3), paper type (plain paper, special paper), page layout (2 pages / sheet, 1 page / sheet), print result (single-sided printing / double-sided printing), user name (Employee code) is recorded. Note that the print log includes a host name, a login user name of a PC that has made a print request, a log-in user name, An IP address or a MAC address may be recorded.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the print information management terminal 13 executes a search process shown in FIG. 6 described later in cooperation with the print information management server 14, and displays a total result screen described later on a display unit (not shown).

  Further, the print information management server 14 executes a print log load process of FIG. 4 to be described later.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing print log loading processing executed by the print information management server in FIG.

  This print log loading process is performed by the print information management server 14 executing a print management program. The print management program is registered in the task of the print information management server 14, and for example, the schedule is activated and executed once a day at a fixed time.

  In FIG. 4, first, the print information management server 14 determines whether or not the print management program has already been started using the process name of the task manager, and when the print management program has not been started, the print management program Is activated (step S401).

  Next, the environment setting file is read into a work area of a RAM (not shown) of the print information management server 14 (step S402). Specifically, the database information described in NSA_LOAD.INI is read into the RAM work area. If reading of the environment setting file fails in step S402, an error message is transmitted to the task manager.

  Next, a master load process of FIG. 5 described later is executed (step S403) (update means). The master data to be loaded here is specifically the update / addition of each organization master and the update / addition of each employee master, and the load log folder (¥ IN from the personnel information management server 12 to the print information management server 14 in advance) Organization master change information is transmitted to (Folder). If the master file exists in the load log folder (\ IN folder), load processing to the master table is performed and the result of the load processing is stored in the load log file. In this loading process, the data file is once taken into each work table, and then added / updated to the master table, and the record is not deleted. Load error records are stored in the BAD folder. The load log file stores information such as how many items have been processed as a whole and how many error records have been processed.

  Next, the printing log data is loaded (step S404). If a print log file exists in the load log folder (\ IN folder), load processing to the print log table is performed. The print log data file in the load log folder is once taken into the intermediate table, and all files are loaded and added / updated to the print log detail table.

  Next, daily total data is created (step S405). Specifically, the target data is grasped from the update of the intermediate file, and the date of printing is registered from the print log detail table to the print log date totaling table.

  Then, the log file and the master file are backed up, and among the subfolders whose names are the backup date of the backup folder, the subfolders for which the retention period has passed are deleted (step S406), and this processing is terminated. .

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing details of the master load process executed in step S403 of FIG.

  In FIG. 5, first, the print information management server 14 checks the name of the master file existing in the load log folder (\ IN folder) (step S501).

  Next, the master file existing in the load log folder is loaded into each intermediate table (step S502).

  Next, the data that already exists in the master is changed in the related information content, and the data that does not exist in the master is newly added (step S503).

  Next, the start / end period (start date and end date) of the production master (production organization master) is confirmed, and valid / invalid for the currently existing organization is set. That is, the valid / invalid flag of the organization master is updated. (Step S504).

  Then, in conjunction with the print log retention period, unnecessary master data is deleted (step S505), and this process ends. Specifically, for example, if the print log retention period is one year, the master data of this organization is deleted when the date from when a certain organization is abolished until the date when the master load process is executed exceeds one year.

  According to the print log loading process of FIG. 4, the organization master is updated using the organization master change information input from the outside, so that the organization transfer response can be executed easily and without error.

  Next, search processing executed in cooperation by the print information management terminal and the print information management server in FIG. 1 will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a sequence diagram illustrating a search process that the print information management terminal and the print information management server in FIG. 1 execute in cooperation.

  The processes in steps S601 to S607 in this search process are executed under the control of the CPU (not shown) of the print information management terminal 13, and the processes in steps S621 to S626 are performed in the print information management server 14. This process is executed under the control of a CPU (not shown).

  It is assumed that the user ID and password are transmitted from the print information management terminal 13 to the print information management server 14 before executing the search process of FIG.

  In FIG. 6, first, the print information management terminal 13 requests search condition input screen information from the print information management server 14 (step S601).

  Next, the print information management server 14 that has received the request for the search condition input screen information inputs a search condition for causing the print information management terminal 13 to display the search condition input screen 100 of FIG. 10 on the display unit of the print information management terminal 13. Screen information is transmitted (step S621).

  Next, the display unit of the print information management terminal 13 that has received the search condition input screen information displays the search condition input screen 100 of FIG. 10 (step S602).

  Next, the search condition is input from the organization name list box 101 and the total period list box 102 in the search condition input screen 100 of FIG. 10 and the print log search button 103 is pressed, or an instruction is given from a detailed analysis button or the like described later. When information is input (step S603), the print information management terminal 13 transmits search conditions or instruction information to the print information management server 14 (step S604). Then, the print information management terminal 13 waits to receive the total result screen information.

  Next, the print information management server 14 that has received the search condition or instruction information stores the search condition or instruction information in a work area of a RAM (not shown). Note that two search conditions can be stored in the work area of the RAM, and the next search condition is stored by overwriting alternately.

  Next, the print information management server 14 determines whether or not the instruction information is a drill-down request (step S622). The drill-down request is a result of further detailed aggregation of a part of the table displayed on the aggregation result display screen when a detailed analysis button or the like on the aggregation result display screen of FIGS. Means to request the display of. For example, in the state where the detailed print log transition table of each section belonging to the personnel headquarters is displayed as shown in the tabulation result display screen of FIG. 12 described later, a specific section (for example, personnel section 1) is designated, A case where the separate detailed analysis button 121 is pressed corresponds to a drill-down request.

  If it is determined in step S622 that the instruction information is a drill-down request (YES in step S622), the process proceeds to step S625 described later. If the instruction information is not a drill-down request (NO in step S622), print information management is performed. The server 14 determines whether or not the search condition has been changed (step S623). Specifically, the print information management server 14 stores in the RAM work area whether or not the search conditions (designation of the consolidated display of the target department, the total period, and the organization change) have been changed from the previous search conditions. Determine using search conditions.

  If the result of determination in step S623 is that the search condition has not been changed (NO in step S623), the process proceeds to step S625 described later. If the search condition has been changed (YES in step S623), the print information management server 14 executes a log search process of FIG. 7 described later (step S624).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing details of the log search process executed in step S624 of FIG.

  In FIG. 7, first, the print information management server 14 searches the print log database stored in the hard disk using the search condition, extracts print log records for the total period corresponding to the search condition, and stores all the RAM work items. Store in the area (step S701).

  Next, the print information management server 14 extracts the organization code belonging to the target department by matching the affiliation master for print management as shown in FIG. Store in the area (step S702). When there is instruction information for the consolidated display of the organization change, the organization that belonged only to a part of the totaling period is also stored for the period that did not belong in another record.

  Next, the print information management server 14 stores the employee numbers and belonging periods (FROM to TO) of the employees who belonged to each organization for the counting period as shown in FIG. 9 stored in the hard disk of the print information management server 14. It is extracted from the print management employee master (user name, department code, start date, end date) and stored in the RAM work area (step S703).

  Next, the print information management server 14 matches the employee number and affiliation period of each employee extracted in step S703 with the print log record extracted in step S701, and extracts a corresponding log record (step S704). The process ends.

  Returning to FIG. 6, after step S624, the print information management server 14 aggregates the log records extracted in step S704 (step S625) (aggregation means). For example, if you are summarizing individual transitions belonging to the section, you will be tabulated by individual, if you are summarizing the transitions by section belonging to the Human Resources Headquarters, count the number of printed pages at the section level and refer to the organization master and employee master Aggregate the number of personnel by month. As shown in FIG. 8, when an organization such as a section is merged (in the case of the organization code 6006 in FIG. 8, the organization codes 6004 and 6005 are merged) or divided (in FIG. 8, the organization of the organization code 7000 is the organization code 7001). , 7002), the log records are divided using the organization-specific ratios stored in the print management affiliation master (the old ratio in FIG. 8) and tabulated. This ratio represents what percentage, and in FIG. 8, if the old ratio is 4, 40% is the total result, and if the old ratio is 6, 60% is the total result.

  Next, the print information management server 14 generates aggregation result screen information for causing the display unit of the print information management terminal 13 to display the aggregation result screens of FIGS. 11 to 15, and displays the generated aggregation result screen information as print information. It transmits to the management terminal 13 (step S626) (generation means). When the print information management terminal 13 has a dedicated application installed, only the character data necessary for screen display is transmitted to the print information management terminal 13.

  Next, the display unit of the print information management terminal 13 that has received the aggregation result screen information displays the aggregation result screens of FIGS. 11 to 15 (step S605). Specifically, when the print log search button 103 is pressed in the search condition input screen of FIG. 10 in step S603, the display unit of the print information management terminal 13 displays the count result screen 110 of FIG. The tabulation result screen 110 in FIG. 11 displays a print log transition table by year (for example, the vertical axis displays year columns such as 2006, 2007, etc. as headings, and the horizontal axis displays the monthly degree columns for each year as headings. Includes a transition table that lists the number of pages printed each month for each fiscal year. If the instruction information transmitted in step S604 is a press of the detailed analysis button 111 (drilldown request) in the total result screen 110 of FIG. 11, the process proceeds from step S622 to step S625, and the total process is re-executed. In step S605, the tabulation result screen 120 of FIG. 12 is displayed. The tabulation result screen 120 in FIG. 12 is a detailed tabulation table for the personnel headquarters (the vertical axis displays the name of each section belonging to the personnel headquarters as a heading, the number of printed sheets and the number of personnel as a subheading, and the horizontal axis indicates the monthly period column for the totaling period. As a headline, and a detailed print log transition table for each section in which the number of printed sheets and the number of personnel in each month of each section are tabulated. If the instruction information transmitted in step S604 is a press of the section detail analysis button 121 (drilldown request) in the total result screen 120 of FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S622 to step S625, and the total process is resumed. In step S605, the tabulation result screen 140 of FIG. 14 is displayed. The tabulation result screen 140 in FIG. 14 is a section-specific print detail tabulation table (for example, the number of prints by user in a specific month, the number of color prints, the number of black and white prints, 2 in 1 print (2 per page Printing details such as the number of printing methods) for printing a document or the like for a page). Also, if the instruction information transmitted in step S604 is pressing of the detailed analysis button 141 for each user (drilldown request) in the totaling result screen 140 of FIG. 14, the process proceeds from step S622 to step S625, and the totaling process is resumed. In step S605, the tabulation result screen 150 of FIG. 15 is displayed. The tabulation result screen 150 in FIG. 15 is a print detail tabulation table for each user (print details including the print job serial number, print device, IP address of the print device, document name, login user name, etc.) including. If the instruction information transmitted in step S604 is a press of the organization change link display button 122 on the total result screen 120 of FIG. 12, the process proceeds from step S623 to step S625, and the total process is re-executed. In S605, the tabulation result screen 130 of FIG. 13 is displayed. The aggregation result screen 130 in FIG. 13 is an organizational consolidation transition summary table of the HR headquarters (before the transfer to the HR headquarters in the organization that has been transferred to the HR headquarters according to the change in the number of printed pages and the number of personnel by section similar to FIG. A summary table that also displays changes in the number of printed sheets and the number of personnel.

  Next, the print information management terminal 13 displays a screen transition button (for example, the detailed analysis button 111 in the total result screen 110 in FIG. 11, the section detail analysis button 121 in the total result screen 120 in FIG. 12, and the total result screen 140 in FIG. It is determined whether or not the user-specific detailed analysis button 141) has been pressed (step S606).

  As a result of the determination in step S606, when the screen transition button is pressed (YES in step S606), the process returns to step S604, and when the screen transition button is not pressed (NO in step S606), print information management is performed. The terminal 13 determines whether or not an end button (for example, an “×” button for closing the screen) has been pressed (step S607).

  If it is determined in step S607 that the end button has not been pressed (NO in step S607), the process returns to step S605. If the end button has been pressed (YES in step S607), the process ends. .

  According to the search processing of FIG. 6, if the transmitted instruction information is a press of the organization change connection display button 122, the aggregation processing is re-executed, and the organization connection transition tabulation table of the personnel headquarters A summary table showing the printing results before transfer) is displayed. That is, since the summary table including the print information before the organization change is displayed on the display unit of the print information management terminal 13, the number of prints of the organization can be obtained even after the organization change by checking the display unit of the print information management terminal 13. Can be easily guessed.

  Further, in step S625 in the search process of FIG. 6, a value obtained by dividing the number of printed pages or the number of printed pages of the organization by the number of employees belonging to the organization is totaled for each month. As shown in the table and the detailed print log transition table on the tabulation result screen 120 in FIG. 12, the background of a month in which the value exceeds a predetermined ratio, for example, 10% or more, is different from the background of other months. Screen information for displaying a monthly summary table may be generated. Thus, by checking the display unit of the print information management terminal 13, it is possible to easily grasp the month in which the number of printed sheets of the organization is large.

  Further, in step S626 in the search process of FIG. 6, as shown in the organization connection transition table on the tabulation result screen 130 of FIG. 13, the tabulation is made so that the background of the print information before the organization change is different from the background of the print information after the organization change. Screen information for displaying a table may be generated. Thereby, by confirming the display unit of the print information management terminal 13, the number of prints of the organization before the organization change can be surely grasped.

  Further, in step S625 in the search process of FIG. 6, the print records for each member of the organization are tabulated, and in step S626, as shown in the table of personnel section 1 in the tabulation result screen 140 of FIG. Even if screen information for displaying a summary table in which the background of the print information of items belonging to, for example, the top three members is different from the background of the print information of other members is generated, for example, the total number of pages is generated. Good. As a result, by confirming the display unit of the print information management terminal 13, it is possible to easily grasp the belonging personnel with a large number of printed sheets.
