Description

The present invention relates to an information processing device, a program, a web application management method, and an information processing system.

In the past, users have wanted to customize the UI and settings of applications installed on image forming devices based on the workflows that exist for each industry and business.

For example, it has been known that when using the Scan To Storage service, an administrator edits a profile, which is configuration information for the operation screen displayed on the operation panel of each device. The profile here refers to information about the operation screen displayed on the operation panel. The profile includes information about the buttons and layout on the screen, the scanning reading conditions, processing of scanned image data, and the storage to be used as the save destination (distribution destination) (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

For example, when customizing the UI and settings of an application used on an image forming device based on the workflow that exists for each industry or business, the manufacturer of the image forming device would listen to the user's industry and business. The manufacturer of the image forming device would then consider settings that are suitable for the user's industry and business and reflect them in the application.

As such, in conventional information processing systems, when customizing the UI or settings of an application used on an image forming device, customization was required individually, resulting in a problem of poor sales efficiency.

The present invention aims to provide an information processing device that can improve the sales efficiency of web applications used in electronic devices.

In order to achieve the above object, claim 1 of the present application is an information processing device that manages one or more applications used by an electronic device via a network, and is characterized by having a first storage unit that stores one or more pieces of application initial data including combinations of the application and the settings of the application, and stores one or more packages of the application initial data, a second storage means that stores one or more packages sold to an organization in a storage area of the organization, and an application data management means that copies the package sold to the organization from the first storage unit to the organization's storage area in the second storage unit, and enables the application to be used on the organization's electronic device based on the package stored in the storage area of the organization.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to improve the sales efficiency of web applications used on electronic devices.

The tenant/user management unit 36 manages the tenant information and user information stored in the tenant/user information storage unit 44.

<Processing>
In the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, processes from registration of a Web application (hereinafter, referred to as an app) to be sold to a tenant to use of the app by an end user are performed, for example, in the procedure shown in FIG.

Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the processing procedure of the information processing system according to this embodiment. In step S11, the planner accesses the system configuration management site of the service providing system 10 from the planner terminal 12, and designs application initial data, registers packages, and so on. Details of the design of application initial data and packages will be described later.

In step S12, the sales representative accesses the system configuration management site of the service provision system 10 from the sales representative terminal 14, and opens a tenant and installs a package to the tenant based on the work request after the salesperson makes the sale and concludes the contract.

In step S13, the system administrator accesses the system management site of the service providing system 10 from the system administrator terminal 16 and prepares for use, such as adding users to the tenant and customizing the application profile settings described below. The system administrator also logs in to the image forming device 20 and prepares for the image forming device 20 to access the service providing system 10. The processing of step S13 allows the end user to use the applications in the package introduced to the tenant.

In step S14, the end user accesses the service providing system 10 from the end user terminal 18 or the image forming device 20, and uses the apps included in the package installed in the tenant. The end user may also access the system administration site of the service providing system 10 from the end user terminal 18 and configure personal app settings.

Here, the application initial data, package, and application profile in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the structure of the application initial data in this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, the application initial data has a configuration including a base application and application settings.

A base application is a module that has a basic screen, such as a scan-based application, a print-based application, or a storage-based application. Application parts included in the base application are modules that control function settings such as scanning and printing, and the operation of the image forming device 20.

App settings are a collection of initial settings that an app has. App settings include UI settings and flows. UI settings are settings for labels, icons, etc. Flows are flows that are executed from app parts after scanning or before printing.

For example, a planner at a manufacturer can design the application initial data shown on the right side of FIG. 6 and register it in the service providing system 10 from a system configuration management site. The right side of FIG. 6 shows scan-to-storage application initial data, mark sheet marking application initial data, and print-from-storage application initial data as examples of application initial data designed by a planner.

For example, scan-to-storage app initial data has a scan-based app as a base app and a cloud storage delivery flow as an app setting flow. Mark sheet marking app initial data has a scan-based app as a base app and a mark sheet marking flow as an app setting flow.

The print from storage app initial data has a print base app as a base app and a cloud storage acquisition flow as an app setting flow. A manufacturer's planner can design app initial data as shown in Figure 6, which combines the base app and app settings, and register it in the service providing system 10.

Furthermore, the manufacturer's planner can change the behavior of the app by rearranging the flow of the app's initial data. For example, the planner can change the scan delivery destination or add notifications by email by rearranging the flow of the app's initial data. As shown in FIG. 6, the manufacturer's planner can register standard app initial data, as well as app initial data that corresponds to the industry or business, in the service providing system 10. The manufacturer's planner can also customize app initial data that has already been registered in the service providing system 10, and create and register new app initial data.

Figure 7 is a diagram for explaining the structure of a package according to this embodiment. As shown in Figure 7, a package is one or more packages of the application initial data shown in Figure 6. For example, a planner creates a standard package, as well as a package for a specific industry or a specific business, and registers them in the service providing system 10.

Figure 7 shows an example of a cloud storage package that packages the scan-to-storage application initial data and print-from-storage application initial data shown in Figure 6. Planning staff can create a package in advance and prepare (shelf-stock) it, taking into consideration how to sell the app, which is a product.

For example, a salesperson sells a package such as that shown in FIG. 7, which is registered as a product in the service providing system 10, to a customer and signs a contract for it. A salesperson introduces the package that the salesperson sold to the customer and signed a contract for, to a tenant. Note that introducing a package to a tenant is a process of linking the package and the tenant by introducing (copying) the package from the application area to the tenant area, as shown in FIG. 8, for example. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the structure of an application profile according to this embodiment.

The application area is the area where packages are stored. The tenant area is an area provided for each tenant. Below, a package that has been linked to a tenant is called an application profile. In the application profile, the initial settings values in the package's application initial data are changed to the tenant's setting values. The tenant's setting values in the application profile can be changed by the system administrator, as described below. In addition, end users can define their own settings from the items selectable by the tenant's setting values.

For example, in Figure 8, the application initial data included in the package is changed to the application instance included in the application profile. The application instance can also be copied in the tenant area as shown in Figure 8.

Figure 9 is a diagram explaining the relationship between a package, an application profile, and a screen of an image forming device. As shown in Figure 9, a package changes into an application profile when applied to a tenant. Based on the application profile linked to the tenant, a home screen such as that shown in Figure 9 is displayed on the operation panel 602 of the image forming device 20. The home screen corresponds to the application profile.

In the image forming device 20, the user of the tenant transitions the home screen displayed on the operation panel 602 of the image forming device 20 as shown in FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the home screen. As shown in the screen image in the upper left of FIG. 10, a list of app packages introduced to the tenant is displayed on the operation panel 602 of the image forming device 20. The user of the tenant can display the home screen of the selected app package by selecting one app package from the list of app packages.

S11: Package registration
11 is a flow chart of an example of a package registration process. In steps S21 and S22, the planner logs in to the system configuration management site of the service providing system 10 from the planner terminal 12.

If the login is successful, the planner registers the application initial data in the service providing system 10 from the planner terminal 12 in steps S23 and S24. For example, the system configuration management site control unit 30 displays an application initial data editing screen such as that shown in Figures 12 and 13 on the planner terminal 12 and accepts the registration of application initial data from the planner.

FIGS. 12 and 13 are image diagrams showing an example of an application initial data editing screen. The application initial data editing screens shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show an example of a scan-to-storage application. FIG. 12 shows an input field for setting application initial data. Also, FIG. 13 shows an input field for setting application job settings.

Then, proceeding to steps S25 and S26, the planner registers the package in the service providing system 10 from the planner terminal 12. A package represented by an object diagram such as that shown in FIG. 14 is registered in the application data storage unit 40 of the service providing system 10 by the processing of steps S25 and S26. FIG. 14 is an example object diagram showing a package. As shown in FIG. 14, a package corresponds to one or more applications and application initial data.

S12: Installing the package to a tenant
15 is a flowchart of an example of a process for introducing a package into a tenant. In step S31, a sales representative requests the service providing system 10 to open a tenant from the sales representative terminal 14.

In step S32, the system configuration management site control unit 30 of the service providing system 10 requests the tenant/user management unit 36 to create a tenant. In step S33, the tenant/user management unit 36 assigns a tenant ID and creates a tenant. In step S34, the system configuration management site control unit 30 registers the system administrator of the tenant as a user.

Proceeding to step S35, the salesperson requests from the salesperson terminal 14 to obtain package information registered in the service providing system 10. In step S36, the system configuration management site control unit 30 of the service providing system 10 requests the application data management unit 32 to obtain a list of package information. The application data management unit 32 returns the list of package information stored in the application data storage unit 40 to the system configuration management site control unit 30. The system configuration management site control unit 30 causes the salesperson terminal 14 to display the list of package information stored in the application data storage unit 40.

Proceeding to step S37, the sales representative selects a package and requests the service providing system 10 from the sales representative terminal 14 to introduce the package to the tenant. Proceeding to step S38, the system configuration management site control unit 30 of the service providing system 10 requests the application data management unit 32 to introduce the package to the tenant. As shown in FIG. 8, the application data management unit 32 can introduce the package in the application area to the tenant area as an application profile. FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the relationship between the package in the application area and the application profile in the tenant area.

In the application profile storage unit 42 of the service providing system 10, an application profile represented by an object diagram such as that shown in FIG. 17 is registered by the processing of steps S37 and S38. FIG. 17 is an example object diagram showing an application profile.

S13: Preparing to use the app
The system administrator accesses the system administration site of the service providing system 10 from the system administrator terminal 16, and performs preparations for use such as adding users to tenants and customizing application profile settings. For example, the system administration site control unit 34 displays an icon/label editing screen as shown in Fig. 18 or an application setting editing screen as shown in Fig. 19 on the system administrator terminal 16, and accepts icon/label editing and application setting editing from the system administrator.

Figure 18 is an image diagram of an example of an icon/label editing screen. Figure 18 displays an icon/label editing screen corresponding to a certain home screen. A system administrator can edit the icon/label of an application instance corresponding to an application profile from the icon/label editing screen of Figure 18.

Figure 19 is an image diagram of an example of an app settings editing screen. Figure 19 shows app settings editing for a scan-to-storage app instance. A system administrator can edit app settings for a scan-to-storage app instance from the app settings editing screen in Figure 19.

S14: Using the app
The end user accesses the home screen of the service providing system 10 from the end user terminal 18 or the image forming device 20, and uses the application included in the package introduced to the tenant. The end user can define his/her own settings in the personal area within the range selectable by the setting values of the application instance of the tenant.

<<App settings customization range>>
Here, we will explain the range of app settings that can be customized by planners and system administrators. For example, let's assume that all items that can be customized in an app are as follows.
All items:
- Icons, labels, reading and printing settings - Default values - List of selectable items - Job settings - Connection destination flows (external settings required for components belonging to all flows in the tenant)
Aggregation of service authorization information)
Input method (email, PM, Mobile, PC, NFC, MFP, printer,
Fax, electronic whiteboard, other companies' MFP, other companies' cloud services)
Authentication method (tenant ID/user name, email address, OIDC, PIN)
For example, the planner can CRUD (create, read, update, delete) the application initial data within the scope of the application settings such as the following:
Icons, labels, reading, and printing settings Default values List of selectable items Metadata for generating setting screens Job settings Connection destination flow Input method (email, PM, Mobile, PC, NFC, MFP, printer,
Fax, electronic whiteboard, other companies' MFP, other companies' cloud services)
Additionally, the system administrator can CRUD app instances within the scope of app settings such as:
Icon, label, reading and printing settings Default value List of selectable items Authentication method (tenant ID/user name, email address, OIDC, PIN)
In addition, end users can apply their personal settings to each app instance within the scope of app settings such as the following:
- Scan and print settings - Default values (selectable from a list)
For example, an end user can define personal settings from a list of app setting items as shown in Figure 20. Figure 20 shows app setting items and values that an end user can select for scanning.

<Summary>
As described above, according to the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment, the service providing system 10 can manage combinations of apps and app settings (app initial data). Furthermore, the service providing system 10 can create standard packages, packages for specific industries, packages for specific businesses, etc., making it easier for sales staff to sell solutions to customers. Therefore, the information processing system 1 of the present embodiment can improve the sales efficiency of applications used in the image forming apparatus 20.
