Description

  The present invention can execute, for example, a service in which data and functions of each information providing organization are linked without passing user data of a certain information providing organization and the processing result of the data to other information providing organizations. It relates to a service execution system.

  Conventionally, each function provided by an information provider and a service for processing data by each function are mainly executed by one-to-one transmission / reception between the information provider and one user or user group. The

  In addition, a service that links data and functions of multiple information providers can pass user data or data processing results to other information providers by using the functions of a certain information provider. It is in the form of construction and execution by repetition of processing. In the case of this format, the user's data or the data processing result of a certain information provider will be passed to various other information providers, so the data passed to other information providers will be updated or deleted, etc. There are security concerns regarding the management difficulties and the different operational policies for each information provider.

  In order to eliminate this security concern, when transferring user data and processing results held by one information provider to other information providers, data and processing results are sent and received only to some information providers. A method for permitting transmission and reception, and a method for transmitting and receiving data after processing data (such as deletion of sensitive parts and encryption) to reduce security concerns are widely used. In addition, there is a case where the service is not selected in order to eliminate security concerns.

  Next, the service identification code setting unit 22 adds the processing target data identification value of the branch number to the service identification value in the service identification code (whole) generated in step S15 and the processing target data name and the processing result name data, respectively. A service identification code with a processing result data identification value is assigned (S16).

  The assignment of these service identification codes may be automatically read from the setting file and executed, or may be manually assigned by a person.

The service identification code setting unit 22 writes the service identification code (with branch number) assigned in step S16 in the service identification code storage unit 21 in association with the function attribute information or the data attribute information. Further, the service identification code setting unit 22 determines the execution order input from the input unit (not shown) (function registration; FIG. 13).
The function management unit 31A of the information providing organization apparatus 30A transmits a function registration request to the function setting unit 13 of the electronic post office box system 10 via the function transmission unit 32A (S21). Here, the function registration request includes attribute information about a function module, a service name, and a function to be registered. For example, the function module “acquisition amount acquisition function for house or land”, service name “mortgage tax deduction application service”, attribute information (function attribute information) “version: 2008.10.21”, “creator” The function registration request includes “provider = tax office (electronic signature)”, “processing data name: amount of acquisition consideration for house or land”, “processing result data name: acquisition consideration amount”.

  Of the function registration requests, the function setting unit 13 of the electronic post office box system 10 transmits a service identification code request including a service name and attribute information to the service identification code management unit 20 (S22).

  The service identification code management unit 20 retrieves the value of “service identification code” from the service identification code storage unit 21 based on the service name and attribute information in the service identification code request, and obtains the service identification code of the retrieval result as an electronic post office box. It returns to the function setting part 13 of the system 10 (S23). For example, the service identification code “Z200-00010” of the function is returned.

  The function setting unit 13 of the electronic post office box system 10 writes this service identification code in the function storage unit 11 in association with the function module and attribute information in the function registration request (S24).

  The function management unit 31A of the information providing organization apparatus 30A designates the same service name or service identification code for a service that has already been registered in the electronic post office box system 10, so that the function module and attribute information for that service are specified. Can be added or updated.

  Similarly, each of the information providing institution devices 30B,..., 30Z transmits a function registration request to the electronic post office box system 10, and registers the functional module and attribute information in the electronic post office box system 10.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of registered functions.

  The function module 30a, 30aa, 30b and the attribute information provided to each service from the two information providing organizations 30A, 30B serve as a function for processing data in the electronic post office box of a single user. Is stored in the function storage unit 12.

  In this example, two functional modules are registered with the same identification code (in the figure: Z200-00010) with different versions from different information providers. As described above, when there are a plurality of function modules having the same identification code, which function is used is determined by the electronic post office box system 10 or the user using the electronic post office box system 10. In this example, the new version is set to enable.

  All of these functions are managed together with information using an interface description language or the like, or implemented so as to have a common execution interface so that the functions can be called and executed from the function execution unit 14 of the electronic post office box system 10. is doing.

(Data registration; Fig. 14)
The data management unit 33A of the information providing organization apparatus 30A transmits a data registration request to the data input unit 17 of the electronic post office box system 10 via the data transmission unit 34A (S31). Here, the data registration request includes data to be registered, a service name, and attribute information about the data. For example, data “xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx”, service name “mortgage tax deduction application service”, attribute information (data attribute information) “creation date: 2007.12.12”, “creator / provider = information provider A” The data registration request includes “(electronic signature)” and “data name: income tax and resident tax amount for the previous year”.

  The data management unit 15 of the electronic post office box system 10 transmits a service identification code request including a service name and attribute information to the service identification code management unit 20 among the data registration requests (S32).

  The service identification code management unit 20 retrieves the value of “service identification code” from the service identification code storage unit 21 based on the service name and attribute information in the service identification code request, and obtains the service identification code of the retrieval result as an electronic post office box. The data is returned to the data management unit 15 of the system 10 (S33). For example, the service identification code “Z200-d0071” of data is returned.

  The data management unit 15 of the electronic post office box system 10 writes the service identification code in the data storage unit 16 in association with the data and attribute information in the data registration request (S34).

  Similarly, each of the information providing institution devices 30B,..., 30Z transmits a data registration request to the electronic post office box system 10 and registers data in the electronic post office box system 10.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of registration data.

  When the two information providing institutions are financial institutions C and D, the data of the same data identification code and name from the information providing institution apparatus (not shown) of the financial institutions C and D respectively is the electronic data of a single user. It is provided as data belonging to a post office box and stored in the data storage section 16 of the electronic post office box system 10. These data are read out from both values when the assigned identification code (Z200-d0061 in the figure) is designated.

  In addition, two service identification codes are set in the attribute information of the data provided from the information providing apparatus of the financial institution D. In this example, this data can be used by two different services (Z200 and Z800).

(Association with other services; FIG. 15)
FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram for explaining an example of an operation for associating already registered data with another service.

  The data management unit 33A of the information providing organization apparatus 30A transmits a data usage information addition request to the data input unit 17 of the electronic post office box system 10 via the data transmission unit 34A (S41). Here, the data usage information addition request includes a service name and data attribute information. For example, the data usage information addition request includes the service name “mortgage tax deduction application service”, data attribute information “processing data name: amount of acquisition price of house or land”, and “data provider = user himself / herself”. Yes.

  The data management unit 15 of the electronic post office box system 10 transmits a service identification code request including a service name and attribute information to the service identification code management unit 20 among the data usage information addition request (S42).

  The service identification code management unit 20 retrieves the value of “service identification code” from the service identification code storage unit 21 based on the service name and attribute information in the service identification code request, and obtains the service identification code of the retrieval result as an electronic post office box. The data is returned to the data management unit 15 of the system 10 (S43). For example, the service identification code “Z200-d0011” of data is returned.

  The data management unit 15 of the electronic post office box system 10 searches and acquires one or more data already registered in the data storage unit 16 based on the data attribute information in the data usage information addition request (S44). For example, a pointer to “amount of acquisition price for a house or land” is acquired.

  The data management unit 15 of the electronic post office box system 10 stores the service identification code and attribute information returned in step S43 in the data storage unit 16 in association with the data acquired in step S44 (S45). However, in this example, the attribute information to be added is not specified in step S41. During the saving process, the service identification code “Z200-d0011” is added as attribute information of this data.

(Service execution; FIGS. 16 and 17)
FIGS. 16 and 17 are sequence diagrams for explaining an example of service execution operation in the electronic post office box system 10.

  The user terminal 40 transmits a service execution request including a service name to be executed to the electronic post office box system 10 by a user operation (S51). The service name is an example of information that can identify the service, and other information that can identify the service may be used instead of the service name. Here, the service execution request includes the service name “Z200 (home loan tax deduction application service)”.

  The function execution unit 14 of the electronic post office box system 10 transmits a service relationship information request including the service name in the service execution request to the service identification code management unit 20 and receives service relationship information from the service identification code management unit 20 ( S52). Here, the service relation information includes all service identification codes related to the service to be executed, pointer information to each function module and data, information necessary for service execution, such as the relationship between each function and input data. ing.

  The function execution unit 14 selects the function module 30a from the service identification code related to the execution order indicating the minimum value in the function execution order, and can be executed if the CPU (not shown) is not in a state where the function module 30a can be executed. The state is initialized and the functional unit 30a ′ is initialized (S53). In this example, a service identification code “Z200-0010 (a function for acquiring the amount of consideration for acquiring a house or land)” is used.

  Next, the function execution unit 14 sends a data request including a service identification code indicating processing target data of the function module 30a and pointer information to the data to the data management unit 15 based on the service relation information (S54). ). For example, “Z200-d0011 (amount of consideration for acquisition of a house or land)” is used as a service identification code indicating processing target data.

  Based on this data request, the data management unit 15 reads data from the data storage unit 16 (S55), and returns the read data to the function execution unit 14. For example, all data starting with Z200- and attribute information are returned.

  Next, the function execution unit 14 sends a function call including this data to the function unit 30a 'and requests execution of the process (S56). This function call may include only data related to the function or may include all data related to the service. In this example, the function call includes a value “1000000, 2000000” of Z200-d0011 (amount of acquisition price of a house or land). A function call may simply be called a “call”.

  Based on the function call, the function unit 30a 'executes processing of the processing target data, and returns an execution result (processing result data) and attribute information of the execution result to the function execution unit 14 (S57). Here, the value of the acquisition consideration and the attribute information are returned.

  The function execution unit 14 transmits a service identification code request including the attribute information of the execution result and the service name to the service identification code management unit 20 and receives the service identification code of the execution result from the service identification code management unit 20 ( S58). For example, the service identification code “Z200-d0110” is received.

  Next, the function execution unit 14 sends an execution result storage request including the execution result and the service identification code to the data management unit 15 (S59). For example, the execution result is the value of the acquisition consideration and attribute information, and the service attribute information is Z200-d0110.

  The data management unit 15 sends a data storage request including the execution result and the service identification code to the data storage unit 16, and stores the execution result in the data storage unit 16 in association with the service identification code (S60).

  Next, the function execution unit 14 uses the function attribute information related to the execution order indicating the next smallest value in the function execution order and the attribute information of the execution result, and the service of the function to be executed next An identification code is acquired (S61). By specifying the function attribute information, the function to be executed can be designated by limiting the provider, for example. For example, using the function name, the provider,... As the function attribute information, and the value of the acquisition price, Z200-d0110,. 00070 is acquired.

  The function execution unit 14 selects a function module 30b based on the service identification code of the function acquired in step S61, and sets the function module 30b to an executable state if the function module 30b is not in an executable state. Then, the function unit 30b ′ is initialized (S62).

  Next, the function execution unit 14 sends a function call including the data read in step S55 and the execution results so far to the function unit 30b 'and requests execution of the process (S63). This function call may include only data related to the function or may include all data related to the service. In this example, the value of Z200-d0071 (resident tax etc. of the previous year),... Is used as input data, and Z200-d160, Z200-d0110,.

  Based on the function call, the function unit 30b 'executes the processing of the processing target data, and returns the execution result and attribute information of the execution result to the function execution unit 14 (S64). For example, Z200-d0170 (deduction amount) is returned as the execution result of Z200-0070.

  If storage is designated, the function execution unit 14 sends a storage request including the execution result to the data management unit 15 (S65).

  The data management unit 15 sends a data storage request including the execution result to the data storage unit 16, and stores the execution result in the data storage unit 16 (S66).

  The function execution unit 14 changes the function modules according to the execution order and performs steps S53 to S66 in the same manner as described above unless there is a remaining function module to be executed for the service being executed or an interruption due to an error or the like does not occur. Repeat the process.

  Through such repeated processing, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, based on the service identification code including the service identification value “Z200” and the execution order, the function units 30a ′, 30b ′,. The process based on the data is executed to obtain the processing result data. At this time, for example, functional units having the same execution order “1” can be executed in parallel with each other. Similarly, functional units having the same execution order “10” can be executed in parallel with each other. Further, for example, the function part of the subsequent execution order “100” has the processing result data “year-end balance”, “floor area or area of residential part” by the function part of the previous execution order “10”, “1”,. The processing is executed as the current processing target data “year-end balance”, “the ratio of the floor area or area of the residential portion”,... To obtain new processing result data “deduction”. Similarly, for example, the functional unit of the subsequent execution order “200” executes the process using the processing result data “deduction amount” by the functional unit of the previous execution order “100” as the current processing target data “deduction amount”. New processing result data “application form” is obtained. As described above, when the functional units 30a ′,... Execute the processes in the order of execution, the service name “mortgage” corresponding to the service identification code having the service identification value “Z200” as shown in FIG. The “tax deduction application service” service will be executed.

  After such repeated processing, the function execution unit 14 transmits the processing result to the user terminal 40 that is the transmission source of the service execution request. As shown in an example in FIG. 17, the processing result may be transmitted after completion of all the processes in the service or after termination of an interruption process such as an error, or may be appropriately transmitted.

(Service execution and execution result transmission; FIG. 18)

The function unit 30aa ′ is initialized (S62).

  Next, the function execution unit 14 sends a function call including the data read in step S55 and the execution results so far to the function unit 30aa 'to request execution of the process (S63). At this time, the function execution unit 14 may pass only data related to the function, or may pass all data related to the service.

  Based on the function call, the functional unit 30aa ′ executes processing of the processing target data (S64 ′), and sends a data output request including the execution result and attribute information (output destination information) of the execution result to the data output unit 18. (S67).

  The data output unit 18 outputs the execution result to the output destination based on the execution result and the output destination information in the data output request. This output destination information can also be specified by a service identification code as one of the data shown in FIG.

  The function unit 30aa 'returns the execution result of step S64' to the function execution unit 14.

  The function execution unit 14 performs steps S53 to S67 described with reference to FIG. 18 or FIG. 16 and FIG. Processing such as steps S53 to S66 shown in FIG. 17 is repeated.

  Thereafter, the function execution unit 14 transmits the processing result to the user terminal 40 that is the transmission source of the service execution request. The transmission of the processing result may be executed after the end of all the processes in the service or after the end of the interruption process such as an error, or the progress of the process may be appropriately transmitted.
