DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION a. First Embodiment Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, a web page format standardization server according to the present invention is used for an insurance agency business. FIG. 1 is a general schematic configuration diagram of a web page format standardization system to which a similar type standardization server is applied.

[0010] The web page format standardization server 10
A client C and an information provider server S1 installed for each of a plurality of primary insurance companies are connected to the Internet I. The client C is connected to each information provider server S
1 is a computer system installed and operated on the insurance agent side that can execute web browser software for browsing one web page. Each information providing server S1 is a condition input page (FIGS. 3 to 5) which is a web page for prompting input of a plurality of input condition items (for example, insurance period, type, grade, etc.) in response to a request from the Internet I.
) Is returned in a unique display format, and when the response to the same condition input page is entered as input condition data, the insurance information to be provided based on the same input condition data is determined, and the response page showing the content is displayed. Reply to the above request. Note that the plurality of input condition items displayed on the above condition input page are uniquely determined by each direct insurance company, and the display format is different for each direct insurance company, The display style of the answer page returned from the original server S1 is also different.

The web page format standardization server 10 in this embodiment standardizes web pages provided in various display formats from the information provider server S1 installed in each of the direct insurance companies described above into a predetermined display format. 2 is a computer system that executes a program corresponding to the flowchart of FIG. The operation will be described below with reference to the flowchart.

The web page style standardization server 10
After the execution of the above program is started in step 100, the process of step 102 is repeatedly executed to wait for a connection request from the client C. At this time, when there is a connection request from the client C, data representing the insurance company selection page is returned to the client C in step 104 based on the determination of “YES” in step 102. As shown in FIG. 6, the insurance company selection page allows the user to select one or a plurality of primary insurance companies to be contacted from among a plurality of primary insurance companies registered in advance, This is a web page that prompts entry of a plurality of common input items (for example, insurance period, customer name, etc.) required by an insurance company. After transmitting the insurance company selection page, the style standardization server 10 proceeds to step 106
And waits for a reply from the client C.

During the repetitive execution of the process of step 106, when data representing the selection result of the primary insurance company and data corresponding to each of the common input items are input from client C as a response to the insurance company selection page, step C is performed. Based on the determination of “YES” in 106, each of the condition input pages is requested to the information provider server S 1 of the primary insurance company selected in step 108. At this time, if there are multiple primary insurance companies selected,
Information provider server S1 of a plurality of selected primary insurance companies
Request a condition input page. Thereafter, the style standardization server 10 repeatedly executes the process of step 110 and waits for the input of the condition input page from the information providing server S1.

When the data representing the condition input page transmitted in response to the request in step 108 is received from the information providing server S1 during the repetitive execution of the process in step 110, the determination in step 110 is "YES". Advances the program to step 112 and subsequent steps. When there are a plurality of information provider servers S1 that have requested the condition input page, each information provider server S1
, The program proceeds to step 112 and thereafter.

In step 112, a standard condition input page is generated based on the condition input page data. This standard condition input page, as shown in FIG.
This is a web page obtained by converting each condition input page input in step 110 into a predetermined display format, and displays each common input item input in step 106 as an answer to the insurance company selection page at the top of the screen. The input condition items of each condition input page input in step 110 are displayed at the bottom of the same screen.

In this case, the web page format standardization server 10 converts the plurality of condition input pages input in step 110 into a single standard condition input page, and converts the input condition items of each condition input page into direct insurance. It is divided at each company and displayed at the bottom of the screen so that substantially the same items can be input while being compared with each other.

After the generation of the standard condition input page, the web page format standardization server 10 transmits the data representing the standard condition input page generated in step 112 to step 1.
At step 14, the message is transmitted to the client C, and the process of step 116 is repeatedly executed to wait for a response from the client C.

At this time, the client C only needs to input the answer once in the common input item displayed at the top of the standard condition input page, and the same condition is compared with the input condition item for each primary insurance company. While answering can be input accurately, the answering operation can be completed in a short time.

Thus, during the repetition of the processing of step 116, when a response is input from client C to the input condition items shown on the condition input page of each primary insurance company as a response to the standard condition input page, Based on the determination of “YES” in step 116, in step 118, the data of the common input items indicating the answer of the client C and the input condition data are transferred to the information providing server S1 of each primary insurance company. I do. Next, the web page format standardizing server 10 repeatedly executes the process of step 120 and waits for a response from the information providing server S1.

During the repetition of the processing of step 120, when data representing an answer page is received from the information providing server S1 as an answer to the input condition data transferred in step 118, "YES" in step 120 is received.
The program proceeds to step 122 and subsequent steps.

In step 122, step 12
Data representing a standard answer page is generated based on the data representing the answer page input at 0. As shown in FIG. 8, the standard response page is a web page obtained by converting each response page input in step 120 into a predetermined display format, and first proceeds to step 106 as a response to the insurance company selection page. The common input items input by the user are displayed at the top of the screen, and the input condition items of each condition input page previously input in step 110 are displayed in the middle part of the same screen as answers to the standard condition input page. The contents of the insurance information indicated on each answer page input in step 120 are divided for each primary insurance company and displayed at the bottom of the screen so that substantially the same items can be compared and examined. .

After completing the processing of step 122,
The page format standardization server 10 transmits data representing the standard answer page to the client C in step 124, and returns the program to step 102.

As described above, the web page format standardization server 10 in this embodiment executes step 1 when it receives the condition input page from each information provider server S1.
In step 12, the standard condition input page is generated and transmitted to the client C. When the response page is received from each information providing server S1, a standard response page is generated in step 122 and transmitted to the client C.

In this case, since the standard condition input page is a single standard condition input page obtained by converting the condition input page received from each information providing source server S1 into a predetermined display format, the client C has the individual primary insurance policy. Even when making an inquiry to a company, it is possible to always browse the web page displayed in the same display style and easily input condition data for insurance subscription by a common operation procedure. Further, since the above standard response page is a single standard response page obtained by converting the response page received from each information provider server S1 into a predetermined display format, the client C receives the insurance policy received from each primary insurance company. The contents of the information can be properly examined in a similar procedure.

In particular, when inquiring a plurality of primary insurance companies in this embodiment, the web page format standardization server 10 sends the information providing source server S1 of each primary insurance company selected by the client C to the server S1. Requesting the condition input page at the same time to generate the above standard condition input page, and the client C input to the standard condition input page
Is sent to the information providing server S1 at the same time to generate the above standard response page, so that the work time for the inquiry is reduced as compared with the case where each information providing server S1 is individually inquired. . Also, in this case, it is not necessary to input the input items commonly required by the respective primary insurance companies, but only collectively as a response to the insurance company selection page described above.
The client C can simplify the operation procedure without repeatedly inputting the same answer.

Further, in the standard answer page, the insurance information provided from each information providing server S1 is displayed for each primary insurance company so that substantially the same items can be compared. The client C can easily determine the desired insurance to be subscribed.

Although not specifically described in the above embodiment, the present invention relates to a case where the condition input page and the answer page provided from the information providing server S1 are represented by an HTML document, The present invention can be similarly applied to the case where the data is represented by an XSL style sheet or the like. Also, the information provider server S1
Is applicable even when only the data portion of each web page is provided by an XML document.
In this case, in steps 112 and 122 in FIG. 2, a standard condition input page and a standard answer page may be created by corresponding processes, and the standard condition input page and the standard answer page are also represented by an HTML document. Or an XML document and an XSL style sheet.

The page format standardization server 10 executes the above-described step 124 by executing a program (not shown).
After the output of the standard response page in, the condition data input from the client C and the response data representing the contents of the insurance information created by the information providing server S1 for the condition data in response to the instruction from the client C May be configured to be selectively stored. According to such a configuration, the condition data and the response data stored and accumulated for each inquiry are selectively transmitted to each information providing server S1 according to an instruction from the client C, and the condition data and the response data after each inquiry are transmitted. The answer data can be easily reused on the client C side.

B. Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, a function of transferring a file to the web page format standardization server 10 in the first embodiment is added.

The web page format standardization server 10 in this embodiment is also connected to the value-added communication network V connected to the host computer H as shown in FIG. The file transmission / reception is relayed between the client C and the plurality of file transfer servers S2 connected to I. The file transfer server S2 and the host computer H
Is set in advance for each primary insurance company.
In this embodiment, the web page format standardization server 10 executes a program corresponding to the flowcharts of FIGS. 10 to 12 instead of the program corresponding to the flowchart of FIG.

In this case, when there is a connection request from the client C, the web page format standardization server 10 first transmits the request to the client C in step 202 based on the determination of “YES” in step 102. Return the work selection page. The work selection page is a web page that allows the work performed on the client C side to be selected from an inquiry to the information providing server S1 or a transmission and reception of a file to and from the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H. After returning this work selection page, the web page style standardization server 10
Waits for a response from client C in step 204.

During the repetitive execution of the process of step 204, when data representing the result of the work selection is input from the client C as an answer to the work selection page, the client C makes a determination based on the result of the selection in step 204. The program proceeds to one of steps 104, 208, 210. If the selected work is an inquiry to the information providing server S1, the program proceeds to step 104 and thereafter to execute the inquiry processing described in detail in the first embodiment.

On the other hand, the work selected on the client C side is the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H
If a file such as a photographic image has been transferred, the file reception process shown in detail in FIG. When the file reception process is started in step 300, a standard transmission instruction page is transmitted to client C in step 302. The standard transmission instruction page urges the designation and transmission of a file, and the file transfer server S2 of the transfer destination registered in advance.
Alternatively, it is a web page in a predetermined display format in which the host computer H can be selected. In this case, the input of data related to the file, such as a contractor name, may be prompted together with the specification of the file, so that the data can be transmitted together with the file. After the transmission of the standard transmission instruction page, the web page format standardization server 10 repeatedly executes the process of step 304 and waits for a file to be received from the client C.

During the repetitive execution of the process of step 304, when a file and data representing the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H to which the file is transferred are received from the client C as a response to the standard transmission instruction page, the process proceeds to step 304. "YES"
Based on the determination, the file and the data received in step 306 are stored in association with each other, and in step 308, the execution of the file receiving process is terminated, and the program returns to step 102 in FIG. When a file acquisition request is received from the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H at the transfer destination of the stored file by executing a program (not shown), the file transfer server S2 or the host computer requesting the file is received. Send to H. Thus, the file is transferred from the client C to the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H via the web page format standardization server 10.

Next, a case where a file (for example, data representing the contents of a contract, a bill, etc.) is transferred from the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H to the client C will be described. The web page format standardization server 10 receives a file transfer request from the file transfer server S2 and the host computer H as needed by executing a program (not shown), and at the same time, transmits the file transfer request from the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H. The file is stored in association with data representing the client C of the transfer destination. And
When the client C selects the operation of obtaining a file as an answer to the operation selection page, the file transmission process is executed in step 210 in FIG. 12 to transmit the stored file to the client C.

Hereinafter, the above-described file transmission processing will be specifically described. When the page format standardization server 10 starts the file reception processing in step 400 in FIG. 12, first, in step 402, the file format standardization server obtains the file in the file transmitted and stored from the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H. It is determined whether or not a file having the transfer destination of the client C that has selected the work exists. At this time, if there is no file having the client C as a transfer destination in the stored files, the client C is notified to the client C in step 404 based on the determination of “NO” in step 402. Is transmitted, the file transmission process ends in step 412.

On the other hand, if a file to which the client C is to be transferred exists in the stored files,
Based on the determination of “YES” in step 402,
At step 406, the standard reception file designation page is transmitted to the client C. The standard reception file designation page displays a list of the stored files to which the same client C is to be transferred, and allows a user to designate a single or a plurality of files in a predetermined display format. It is a web page. After the transmission of the standard reception file designation page, the web page format standardization server 10 repeatedly executes the process of step 408 and waits for the designation of the file from the client C.

During the repetitive execution of the process of step 408, when data representing the result of file specification is input from client C as an answer to the standard reception file specification page, a determination of "YES" is made in step 408. Then, the file designated in step 410 is transmitted to the client C. As a result, the file is transferred from the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H to the client C via the web page format standardization server 10. After the transmission, the web page format standardization server 10 terminates the execution of the file transmission process in step 412, and returns the program to step 102 in FIG.

As described above, in the second embodiment, the web page format standardization server 10 responds to a request from the client C to transfer and obtain a file to the file transfer server S2 or the host computer H, respectively. A standard transmission instruction page and a standard reception file designation page drawn in a predetermined display format are returned. Therefore, in the client C, the file transfer server or the transfer destination of the file is the file transfer server S2 connected to the Internet I irrespective of the original insurance company of the transfer destination or the transfer destination of the file. Regardless of the host computer H connected to V, a web page drawn in the same manner is always browsed, and file transfer and acquisition can be performed simply by responding to the web page. It becomes possible. As a result, operation procedures such as specification of a file to be transmitted and received are shared, and convenience is improved.
