Note that the master task configuration information 141 of the clinical test system in FIG. 4 is used as the master task configuration information. FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the business configuration plan generation processing 111. In step 201, the business configuration database 2
The master task configuration information (141) is read from 010.

In step 202, a required task input window (1400 in FIG. 10) is displayed, and an input of a task required for the information processing system to be developed is accepted.
FIG. 10 shows a required task input window 1400. The required task input window 1400 is a required task name input field 1
401 and a decision button 1402. When the business name “multiple department reservation” is entered in the required business name input field 1401 and the enter button 1402 is pressed, the business name “multiple department reservation” is recorded in the “necessary business list (150 in FIG. 11)”.

If it is determined in step 203 that the required business name has been input, the process proceeds to step 210. If the required business name has not been input, the process ends. In step 210, a business configuration plan generation and execution process for generating a business configuration plan is performed. This business configuration plan generation execution process will be described later with reference to FIG. Then, the process ends.

FIG. 11 shows a detailed flow chart of the business configuration plan generation and execution processing (step 210 in FIG. 9). In step 211, one required business name is extracted from the required business list 150 recorded in step 202. Here, the required business name “multiple section reservation” is extracted. In step 212, it is searched whether the extracted required business name exists in the master business configuration information (2300 in FIG. 12). Here, it is searched whether or not the required task name “reserved for multiple sections” exists in the master task configuration information (2300 in FIG. 12). In addition, by performing a partial match search and / or a similarity search as well as a perfect match search, the burden of input in step 202 can be reduced. In step 213, as a result of the search, if the extracted required business name exists in the master business configuration information, the process proceeds to step 214; otherwise, the process returns to step 211. In this case, since the required task name “multiple section reservation” exists (2301 in FIG. 12), the process proceeds to step 214.

In step 214, the existing work is determined and recorded in the configuration display information (160 in FIG. 12). Here, the task “2, multiple section reservation, 1-1-1-2” (23 in FIG. 12)
01) is recorded in the configuration display information (160 in FIG. 12).
In step 215, it is checked whether or not there is an object in the hierarchy immediately above the determined business.
The process proceeds to step 6, and if not found, the process ends. In this case, since the option “multiple selection is possible, 1-1-1” is found immediately above the task “2, multiple department reservation, 1-1-1-2”, step 21 is executed.
Proceed to 6. In step 216, if the type of the found object is business, the process proceeds to step 217, and if it is an option, the process proceeds to step 219. Here, since the option “multiple selection is possible, 1-1-1” is found, the process proceeds to step 219.

In step 217, if the found business is determined, the process returns to step 211; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 218. In step 218, the found business is determined, and the business immediately below the business is determined, and these are recorded in the configuration display information (160 in FIG. 12). Then, the process returns to step 215.

In step 219, the found option is recorded in the configuration display information (160 in FIG. 12). And
The process returns to step 215. Here, the option “multiple selection possible, 1-1-1” is recorded, and the process returns to step 215.

In steps 215 to 218, the job “1, reservation request, 1-1-1” is located immediately above the option “multiple selection possible, 1-1-1”. Since the reservation request, 1-1-1 "has not been determined, the service" 1, reservation request, 1-1-1 "is determined and recorded in the configuration display information (160 in FIG. 12). Then, the process returns to step 215. The above processing is repeated for the task “1, reservation, 1-1”, and then the option “multiple selection is possible,
For "1", and then for work "1, reception, 1". Then, in step 215, since there is no object in the layer immediately above the job “1, reception, 1”, the processing ends.

60), and a decision flag is set for the task. In step 405, all the tasks existing in the extracted network are added to the task list (170).

In step 406, the business list (17
If 0) is empty, proceed to step 407; if not, return to step 401. In step 407, the business configuration is displayed as shown in FIG. 43 using the configuration display information (160 in FIG. 12). In step 408, it is checked whether there is an unselected option. If there is, the process proceeds to step 409. If not, the process ends. At step 409, a selection receiving process is executed. This selection accepting process will be described later with reference to FIG. Step 4
In step 10, the options selected in the selection receiving process (409) and the tasks not selected are displayed with the background color or shading changed. In step 411, for the hierarchy under the selected business, a network consisting of the business and options from the selected business to the hierarchy where the first option exists and the hierarchy up to the hierarchy where the lowest business exists is extracted, and the configuration display information (FIG. 12 and 160), and a decision flag is set for the task. In step 412, all the tasks existing in the extracted network are added to the task list (170). Then, the process returns to step 401.

For example, in step 409, the choice “1,
When the selection item "reservation" is selected from the "reception method", "1-2-2" is defined in the "next business identifier" of "1-1, reservation" as shown in the business object 50 of FIG. Therefore, the business configuration is displayed as shown in FIG. 44 by the steps 410 to 412 and the steps 401 to 407. Similarly, when the selection item “multiple departments” is selected from the option “1-1-1, reservation request method” in FIG. 44, the business configuration shown in FIG. 45 is displayed.
When the selection item “batch of multiple patients” is selected from the five options “1-1-1-2-2, unit of request”, the business configuration shown in FIG. 46 is displayed, and the option “1-2-2- When the selection item “batch of multiple samples” is selected from “1, reception unit”, the task configuration shown in FIG. 47 is displayed. Then, since there is no option in FIG. 47, the task selection processing 310 ends. Step 4
In FIG. 10, the options and tasks not selected are displayed so that the characters described in the table look faint as shown in FIG. 44 (portion indicated by 2410). By displaying the tasks not selected in this way, it is possible to assist in defining more appropriate tasks.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the selection accepting process (409). In step 501, an input operation is waited for on the screen of FIG. 7A, and if there is an input, the process proceeds to step 502. In step 502, the input is "selection" ((a) of FIG. 7).
If the input is a "question content button" (button 63 in FIG. 7A), the process proceeds to step 506, and the input is a "confirmation button" (button 67 in FIG. 7A). ), Go to step 507.

In step 503, if the option type is "selectable", the process proceeds to step 504. If the option type is "exclusive selection", the process proceeds to step 505. Step 50
In step 4, selection is accepted according to a selection method that allows a plurality of selections (for example, 27 in FIG. 5). Then, step 501 is performed.
Return to In step 505, selection is accepted according to the selection method of exclusive selection (for example, 28 in FIG. 5). And
The process returns to step 501.

At step 506, a detailed information display window 1590 of FIG. 16 is displayed. Then, the process returns to step 501. The detailed information display window 1590 shown in FIG. 16 includes an item 1 indicating an option identifier (71 in FIG. 7).
591, an item 1592 indicating the question content of the option (72 in FIG. 7), and an item 1593 indicating the question content detail (73 in FIG. 7) giving more detailed information on the selection item. When performing the operation, the detailed information of the selection item is presented to assist the operation selection operation.

In step 507, if the type of option is selected, the process proceeds to step 508, and if not, the process returns to step 501. In step 508, a selection flag (for example, 24 in FIG. 5B) is set for the selected item of the option information of the option object.
c) is set up, and a task corresponding to the selected item is added to a lower task related list (for example, 26 in FIG. 5B) of the option object. Then, the process ends.

FIG. 17 shows a display image of the business configuration definition result. FIG. 18 shows an object diagram of a portion 90 surrounded by a line in the display image of FIG. FIG.
As shown in the relations 91 and 92 of FIG. 8, the selected work is related by the option “lower work relation”.

0) will be described. FIG. 19 shows the business configuration editing process 3
It is a flowchart of 20. In step 601, the process waits for an input operation in the business configuration definition window 1500 of FIG. 3. If there is an input, the process proceeds to step 602. In step 602,
If the input is a “business addition button” (1510 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to step 603. If the input is “business deletion button” (1520 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to step 604, and the input is “business change button” (1530 in FIG. 3). ), The process proceeds to step 605. If the input is “business division button” (1540 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to step 606. If the input is “option item addition button” (1550 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to step 607. If the "edit button" (1560 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to step 608. If the input is "option edit button" (1570 in FIG. 3), the process proceeds to step 609. If the input is the "generate button" (1580 in FIG. 3), the process ends. I do.

In step 603, a business addition process for adding a new business to the business hierarchy is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 610. The business addition processing will be described later with reference to FIG. In step 604, a business deletion process for deleting an existing business from the business hierarchy is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 610. The job deletion process will be described later with reference to FIG. In step 605, a task change process for changing a task existing in the task hierarchy is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 610. The job change process will be described later with reference to FIG. In step 606, a business division process for subdividing the business existing in the business hierarchy is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 610. The business division processing will be described later with reference to FIG. At step 607, option item addition processing for adding a new selection item to an existing option is executed. Then, the process proceeds to step 610. The option item adding process will be described later with reference to FIG. In step 608, a task for changing the “task name” (eg, 13 in FIG. 5A) of the task or newly defining a “next task identifier” (eg, 14 in FIG. 5A) Execute the editing process. Then, the process proceeds to step 610. The business editing process will be described later with reference to FIG. In step 609, “question contents” of the option (FIG. 5)

It will be described later with reference to FIG.

In step 610, the configuration display information (FIG. 1)
The business configuration information is re-displayed using (160 of 2). Thereby, the execution result of each process is reflected on the display. Then, the process returns to step 601.

(6-2-2-1. Business Addition Processing) FIG.
In the business addition window 1511, the business addition position 151
2 is a task identifier of the task at the additional position (for example, FIG.
43) is specified. In addition, a business name (for example, 42 in FIG. 6A) is designated as the additional business name 1513. Then, by the processing of steps 701 to 709 of the task addition processing of FIG. 20 (603 of FIG. 19), the additional task name 15
A task with the name specified in step 13 is added. Then, when the business is added, the business hierarchy after the addition and the original business hierarchy before the addition are different from each other. Therefore, an option is generated using the business hierarchy before the addition and the business hierarchy after the addition as selection items.

In FIG. 20, A0 to A8 are object diagrams for explaining the execution process of the business addition processing.
0 indicates an embodiment for adding a business, and A1 to A8 indicate object structures after execution of steps 701 to 708, respectively. It is assumed that the business name of the business P1 generated in step 704 is obtained by adding a number “1” to the business name of the parent business P. Similarly, the task name of the task P2 generated in step 706 is the same as the task name of the parent task P with the number “2”. The content of the question of the exclusive selection option generated in step 707 is
The term “method” is added to the name of the business, and the selection items are the business names of the businesses P1 and P2 generated in steps 704 and 706.

For example, when a business having the contents shown in the business addition window 1511 in FIG. 25 is added to the business configuration before addition shown in the upper part of FIG. 30, the execution result is as shown in FIG.
It is as shown in the business configuration after addition in the lower part of 0.

(6-2-2-2. Business deletion processing) FIG. 26
In the business deletion window 1521, the deletion business 1522
The business identifier of the business to be deleted (for example, 4 in FIG. 6A)
Specify 3). Then, the business deletion process of FIG. 21 (FIG. 1)
9 604), the business specified by the deleted business 1522 is deleted by the processing of steps 801 to 808. Then, when the business is deleted, the business hierarchy after the deletion and the original business hierarchy before the deletion are different from each other, so that an option is generated using the business hierarchy before the deletion and the business hierarchy after the deletion as selection items.

In FIG. 21, D0 to D7 are object diagrams for explaining the execution process of the business deletion process.
Represents an embodiment of job deletion, and D1 to D7 represent object structures after execution of steps 801 to 807, respectively. The task name of the task P1 generated in step 804 is obtained by adding a number “1” to the task name of the parent task P. Similarly, the task name of the task P2 generated in step 805 is the same as the task name of the parent task P, with the number “2”.
Is given. The question content of the exclusive selection option generated in step 807 is obtained by adding the word “method” to the task name of the parent task P, and the selection items are the tasks P1 and P2 generated in steps 804 and 805. Business name.

For example, when the business configuration shown in the business deletion window 1521 in FIG. 26 is deleted from the business configuration before deletion shown in the upper part of FIG. 31, the execution result is shown in FIG.
1 is as shown in the business configuration after the deletion.

(6-2-2-3. Business Change Processing) FIG.
Change job 1532 in the change job window 1531
The business identifier of the business to be changed (for example, 4 in FIG. 6A)
3) is specified, and a business name (for example, 42 in FIG. 6A) is specified as the new business name 1533. Then, the business is changed by the processing from step 901 to step 907 of the business change processing (605 in FIG. 19) in FIG. And
When the business is changed, the business hierarchy is changed so that either the business before the change or the business after the change can be selected for the original business before the change.

In FIG. 22, the content of the question of the exclusive selection option generated in step 904 is “selection of business”.
The selection items are the business name of the business before the change and the new business name (1533 in FIG. 27). Further, the business name of the business generated in step 905 is obtained by connecting the business name of the business before the change and the new business name with a symbol “/”.

For example, when the business configuration shown in the business change window 1531 in FIG. 27 is changed for the business configuration before the change shown in the upper part of FIG. 32, the execution result is shown in FIG.
As shown in the changed business configuration in the lower part of FIG.

(6-2-2-4. Business Division Processing) FIG.
In the task division window 1541 of the
The task identifier of the task to be divided (for example, 4 in FIG.
3) is specified, and a business name (for example, 42 in FIG. 6A) is specified as the business name 1543 after division. Then, Figure 2
Step 100 of business division processing 3 (606 in FIG. 19)
The business is divided by the processing from step 1 to step 1004. When a task is divided, a task that is a detailed version of the task is placed immediately below the task.

For example, when a business division having the contents shown in the business division window 1541 of FIG. 28 is performed on the business configuration before the division shown in the upper part of FIG. 33, the execution result is as shown in the lower part of FIG. As shown in the business configuration.

(6-2-2-5. Option Item Addition Processing)
In the option item addition window 1551 in FIG. 29, the option identifier of the option to add the selection item (for example, 71 in FIG. 7B) is specified in the item addition destination option 1552, and the selection item to be added is added in the additional item 1553. Is specified in the question content (for example, 72 in FIG. 7B), and a business name (for example, FIG. 6A) corresponding to the selection item input in the additional item 1553 is added to the business name 1554 corresponding to the additional item. 42), and a job identifier (for example, 43 in FIG. 6A) of the job at the added position is specified in the job addition position 1555. Then
The selection items are added immediately after the job specified in the job addition position 1555 by the processes of steps 1101 to 1104 of the option item addition process (607 in FIG. 19) of FIG. When a selection item is added, a new selection item and a task corresponding to the selection item are added to the existing options.

For example, when an option item having the content shown in the option item addition window 1551 in FIG. 29 is added to the business configuration before the addition of the option item shown in the upper part of FIG. 34, the execution result is shown in the lower part of FIG. As shown in the business configuration after the addition.

(6-2-2-6. Business Editing Process) For example, when the business adding process 603 shown in FIG. 20 is executed, two businesses and one option are generated in addition to the added business. Since the “business name” of the business generated at this time is determined by the method defined in the business addition process 603,
It may not truly reflect its content. For this reason, the “business name” of the business is changed and the “next business identifier” is newly defined by the business editing process (608 in FIG. 19).

In the work editing window 1561 shown in FIG. 35, the work to be edited is input in the input area 1562, and when the enter button is pressed, the edit target is displayed in the display area 1563. That is, as exemplified in the display area 1564,
The “work name” (eg, 13 in FIG. 5A) of the work to be edited is displayed in the “work name” display area 1565, and the “next work” display area 1566 is displayed in the “next work” display area 1566. The identifier "(for example, 14 in FIG. 5A)" is displayed. So edit this.

(6-2-2-7. Option Editing Process) For example, when the task adding process 603 shown in FIG. 20 is executed, two tasks and one option are generated in addition to the added task. The "question contents" of the options generated at this time are:
Since the content is determined by the method defined in the business addition process 603, the content may not be truly reflected. Also, the option “Details of question content” is not defined.
Therefore, the option editing process (609 in FIG. 19)
The choices “question contents (22)” and “question details (2
3) Edit ".

In the option editing window 1571 shown in FIG. 36, an option to be edited is input in an input area 1572,
When the enter button is pressed, an editing target is displayed in the display area 1573. That is, as exemplified in the display area 1574, the "question content" (for example, 22 in FIG. 5B) of the option to be edited is displayed in the question content display area (1575), and the question content details are displayed. In the display area 1576, “Details of the question content” (for example, 23 in FIG. 5B) is displayed. So edit this.

(6-2-3. Advantages of Using Master Business Configuration Information) As described above, the business selection editing process (FIGS. 1 and 9)
In step 112), since the master task configuration information (141 in FIGS. 1 and 4) expressing the tasks in a hierarchical structure is used,
E can efficiently perform task selection / editing work such as task selection, addition, deletion, or change while understanding the context and position of the task.

(6-3. User Business Configuration Information Generation Process) User Business Configuration Information Generation Process (113 in FIG. 1)
Generates the user task configuration information by removing from the edited master task configuration information (142 in FIG. 37) the tasks that have not been selected and the information that is unrelated to the tasks.

FIG. 37 is a flowchart of the user task configuration information generation processing (113 in FIG. 1). Here, FIG.
In the edited master job configuration information 2500 shown in FIG. 18, a part 90 surrounded by a line, that is, an object diagram shown in FIG. 18 will be described. In step 1201, FIG.

2504, “Options, 1-1-1” 2505, “1-1-1-2, multiple department reservation” 2507, “1-1-1-2-1, multiple department reservation request slip arrival” 2508, “1 -1-1-2-2, reservation request input "250
9. “Options, 1-1-1-2-2” 2510 and “1-1-1-2-2-
2. A network consisting of “2, reservation request batch input” 2512 is extracted. In step 1202, for example, “option, 1-1-1” 2505 is extracted from the network. In step 1203, the “option, 1-1-1” 2505 extracted from the “option-related” (16 in FIG. 5A) of the task “1-1-1, reservation request” 2504 and the task “1- 1-1, reservation request "250
Break the connection of 4. In step 1204, the “option, 1-1-1” 2505 “subordinate work related” (FIG. 5)
"Options, 1-1-1" 250 extracted from 26) of (b) 250
Disconnect the relationship between 5 and business "1-1-1-2, multiple department reservation" 2507. In step 1205, the business "1-1-1, reservation request" 2
The job “1-1-1-2, multiple department reservation” 2507 is associated with the “lower job related” 504 (15 in FIG. 5A). In step 1206, the steps 1202 to 1205
Is executed for all the options in the network extracted in step 1201, and then
Proceed to 7. In step 1207, information in the network is recorded in the user business configuration information 144. Then, the process ends.

FIG. 39 is an inter-object diagram 1 of the data structure of the user business configuration information generated as described above.
720. FIG. 38 shows a business configuration table 1700 which is a display example of the user business configuration information generated as described above.
It is. The business configuration table 1700 includes a business configuration 1701
And a processing specification name 1702. The portion 1710 surrounded by the line in FIG. 38 corresponds to the inter-object connection diagram 1720. Business objects 1721 to 1727 in FIG.
Are described as a business configuration 1701 in FIG. Also,
The processing specification objects 1730 and 1731 in FIG.
In FIG. 38, it is described as a processing specification name 1702. The business configuration table 1700 is also a display format on a processing specification definition window (1600 in FIG. 41) described later.

(6-4. Master Business Configuration Information Reconstruction Process) FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the master business configuration information rebuilding process (114 in FIG. 1). In step 1301, one option is extracted from the edited master task configuration information 142. In step 1302, the extracted option is disconnected from the task associated with “lower task related”,
In the “option information”, the business selection flag is lowered. In step 1303, steps 1301 and 13
02 is executed for all options, and the reconstructed master task configuration information 145 is created. Step 130
In step 4, a backup of the existing master task configuration information 141 stored in the task configuration database (2010 in FIG. 1) is made. In step 1305, the reconstructed master task configuration information 145 is stored in the task configuration database (2010 in FIG. 1) as the latest master task configuration information 141.

As described above, the edited master job configuration information 1 created in the job selection editing process (112 in FIG. 1)
By accumulating 42 as a new development example and using it in the next required specification design, the efficiency of subsequent system development can be improved.

(7. Processing Specification Definition Processing) FIG. 41 shows a processing specification definition window 1600 for performing work in the processing specification definition processing (120 in FIG. 1). In the display area 1601 of the processing specification definition window 1600, a business configuration table (for example, 1700 in FIG. 38) is displayed immediately after the processing specification definition window 1600 is started. Then, the processing specification name column of the displayed business configuration table (for example, 170 in FIG. 38)
By pressing the processing specification name displayed in 2), the corresponding processing specification is displayed. Subsequent display switching is performed by pressing a job configuration table button 1610 and a processing specification button 1620. When the output button 1630 is pressed, the business process specification output process (130 in FIG. 1) starts.

FIG. 42 shows a process specification definition process (12 in FIG. 1).
It is a flowchart explaining 0). In step 1801, the processing specification of the business defined in the user business configuration information 144 is searched from the processing specification database (2011 in FIG. 1). In step 1802, if the processing specification name displayed in the processing specification name column (for example, 1702 in FIG. 38) of the business configuration table is pressed, the process proceeds to step 1810. For example, the processing specification name column in the business configuration table (for example, FIG. 170
Step 182 when a new processing specification name is input in 2)
If the output button 1630 is pressed, the process proceeds to step 1840. If the output button 1630 is pressed, the process proceeds to step 1840.

At step 1810, the processing specification of the pressed processing specification name is edited. Then, the step 180
Return to 2.

At step 1820, the processing specification of the input processing specification name is defined. And step 18
Return to 02.

In step 1830, another processing specification is associated with the processing specification associated with the business in the user business configuration information 144, or a new processing specification is associated. This is done, for example, by deleting the processing specification name displayed in the processing specification name column (eg, 1702 in FIG. 38) of the business configuration table and re-entering it, or by inputting the processing specification name in a blank processing specification name column. It does by doing. Then, the process returns to step 1802.

At step 1840, at step 18
The processing specification edited in step 10 and the processing specification newly defined in step 1820 are stored in the processing specification database (2011 in FIG. 1) and can be reused as a development example.

In step 1850, step 18
The relation between the task and the processing specification changed in 30 is recorded in the master task configuration information (141 in FIG. 1), and the relation between the task and the processing specification can be reused as a development example.

As described above, the business configuration table (for example, FIG. 38)
1700) and the processing specifications (146 in FIG. 1) are displayed in association with each other, whereby the position of each processing specification in the information processing system to be developed is clarified, and the processing specification is understood by the user and the SE. There is an advantage that it becomes easier.

(8. Business Process Specification Output Process) In the business process specification output process (130 in FIG. 1), user business configuration information (FIG. 42) defined by the business configuration definition process 110 and the process specification definition process 120 in FIG. 144) and the processing specifications (146 in FIG. 1) are compiled into the output format of the business processing specifications requested by the user, and the output device (2009 in FIG. 2)
