FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of an input management system using the Internet according to the present invention. The input management system of the present invention is a client / server type system including a work management server 10, a worker client connectable to the server via the Internet, and a manager client. I have.

The work management server 10 has a first folder 12 for storing a file storing data to be worked on (hereinafter referred to as worker data) and a second folder for storing a file being worked on. 14 and a third folder 1 for storing a file storing data after the work is completed
6 are provided. The data before the work is PDF (Po
rtable Document Format) files are stored in the folder 12. Usually, such a file is read by scanning the original document 60 using a scanner or the like, and can be viewed by anyone using predetermined viewing software.

Here, there are various kinds of input operations. For example, in a translation work, in the case of an English-Japanese translation, the original English manuscript becomes the data before the work. Then, the data obtained by inputting the translated Japanese sentence becomes the data after the work. In the drawing tracing work, the original handwritten manuscript becomes the data before the work,
The traced work data is the post-work data. Furthermore, if a handwritten manuscript or a predetermined print manuscript is edited according to a predetermined format and converted into data, and then delivered, the data before work is the original handwritten manuscript or print manuscript, and the data after work is The document is formatted and input. In the present specification, an operation of creating new formatted data by performing some processing on the original data is widely referred to as an input operation.

The contract worker connects to the work management server 10 via the Internet from a worker client 20 such as a personal computer, and checks the fee and quantity of work suitable for his / her skill from the folder 12 to check the file unit. After the work is completed, the work is stored again in a file and uploaded to the work management server 10. In the work management server 10, when the contract worker downloads the work to the worker client 20 for starting the work, the file is moved to the second folder 14 indicating that the work is in progress. The number of files that can be downloaded by the worker client 20 is determined by the work and the contract worker. When the contract worker finishes the predetermined input work, the input data is uploaded to the work management server 10 via the Internet. When this upload is performed, the file moved to and stored in the second folder 14 moves to the third folder 16 storing the completed work data, and the input data is stored in this file. Work on the file is complete.

Here, the work time for the data before work stored in the file is determined in advance by the amount of the file downloaded to the worker client 20, and the work time is determined within the determined time. If the upload is not performed from the client 20 to the third folder 16, the file storing the data is returned from the second folder 14 to the original first folder 12. Therefore, when another contract worker browses the first folder 12, the input work can be performed.

That is, the first contract worker loses the right to the input work because the input work could not be completed within the predetermined work time, and another worker performs this input work. Can be. Therefore, the contract worker sees the data before work stored in the first folder 12 so as to be browsed and downloadable, sufficiently determines whether or not the work can be performed under predetermined work conditions, and then downloads the data. There is a need to do.

On the other hand, the manager of the input work requesting company holds a manager client 30, and from this client, the folders 12, 1 of the work management server 10 are sent.
4 and 16 are accessed as needed to monitor the status of the files stored in each folder. Therefore, since the work manager can always check the progress of the work, the delivery without failure can be performed to the input work requesting company 50.

In order to increase the credibility of the data requested to be input, the input request is sent to a plurality of contract workers, and the results of the work performed by the plurality of contract workers are compared. The person in charge of the input work request company checks,
It is also possible to notify the erroneously input worker and take measures such as reducing the fee. When such a comparison is made between a plurality of contract workers, the state may be displayed on the work management server 10. Thus, the contract worker uploads the completed input data to the third folder 16 after the completion of the input work, and then attaches the data from the work management server 10 to the work contents of the other contract workers. And that a comparison is being made.

The manager of the input work requesting company, after completing all the requested input work and completing the data check,
This is edited into a predetermined format and delivered to the input work requesting company 50. In addition, the completion of work is reported to the accountant 40, and instructions are given to the contract worker to pay for the requested input work. The contract worker makes a predetermined contract after an interview examination in advance, connects to the work management server 10 via the Internet, and downloads the data before the work from the first folder 12 only to the contractor. It is necessary to perform a security check so that you can only enter.

For this purpose, an identification number and a password are given to the contract worker as individual information, and when the contract worker connects to the work management server 10, the identification number and the password are input. The work management server 10 needs to have an authentication means for identifying the work management server and confirming whether the download is possible. In addition, contract workers are allowed to download only files that they have been permitted, which are distinguished by skills, contract conditions, and the like. Also, when the contracted worker uploads the completed work to the third folder 16 of the work management server 10, the security check can be similarly performed. In addition, when uploading, a predetermined input format is determined, and if the input is input and uploaded, the work can be further simplified.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the work management server is provided with three folders in which files are sequentially moved in accordance with the progress of the input work, and the contract worker is provided with the input work using the Internet. A request is made, the input data after the work is uploaded from the Internet, and the progress of the work is monitored as needed by the manager client, so that the input work can be properly managed. Also, the contract worker accesses the work management server as appropriate, browses the work that he can do, downloads it as necessary, and uploads the work to the work management server again via the Internet after the work is completed by the SOHO work. Therefore, there is an advantage that a necessary input operation can be performed at a time desired by the user.
