Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention creates various types of formatted documents, such as referrals between hospitals, medical certificates related to a hospital or doctor, etc., which have a desired or required document format for each hospital or doctor. The present invention relates to a technical field of a formatted document creation system and method that are preferably used to perform the above, and a computer program that causes a computer to function as such a formatted document creation system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Formalized documents such as referral letters between hospitals, insurance certificates, medical condition summary documents, and other formal documents to be issued outside the hospital are used when creating documents by word processing. It is basically created by inputting text while deciding the format such as font size, deciding the type and order of items to be described in the text, and the format such as font size. In this case, it is also common to copy the same type of formatted document or Hinagata that has been electronically created in the past and rewrite only the necessary part or newly input. However, such a method of creating a formatted document is only an example of the usage of a word processor.

Therefore, as a method of more efficiently creating such a letter of introduction using a computer, a desired document format is determined in advance for each hospital or for each doctor, and on a template which is a standard input form. There is a technique of inputting texts in dedicated input fields of predetermined items, and then displaying and printing out a formatted document by combining the input text data and standard format data. That is, if a text is input to each input field on the input screen, a formatted document in which the corresponding item is the text data can be displayed or printed.

In order to create a formatted document using such a template, a computer program corresponding to the format in the formatted document, for example, a dedicated program for creating a letter of introduction and a dedicated program for creating an insurance certificate input. A program is created by the programmer.

[0005]

However, in the case of using the dedicated program as described above, if the format of the letter of introduction or the like is to be changed, it becomes necessary to change the program itself, so that the doctor or the like can use it. It is not easy for the person. In particular, for such work to change the format, please make a specific request to the programmer or system engineer who belongs to the software production company (what format is preferable and which item is necessary to input text). I have to tell them that they will be made to order. Further, it is only possible to know what kind of screen the finally-formed format will be provided by unwrapping the master file completed by the code input by the programmer and expanding it on the screen. These results,
There is a problem in that it is practically impossible for a user such as a doctor or a medical affairs person to quickly create a document in a new format or modify an existing document format.

Further, with regard to the contents of text data to be input into the input field via the dedicated program, the same contents may be almost always input depending on the individual user such as a doctor who actually uses the dedicated program. However, even in such a case, it is inconvenient because text data having the same content must be newly input each time a document is created.

In addition, even in the case where text data exists electronically, such as an electronic medical record, the necessary items are referred to, and then the text is input as text data into the input field in the dedicated program. Will be needed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is a format in which a formatted document such as a letter of introduction between hospitals can be efficiently created with a high degree of freedom for the user on the format. An object of the present invention is to provide a supplementary document creation system and method, and a computer program for causing a computer to function as such a formatted document creation system.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a first formatted document creating system of the present invention includes a plurality of module format data and a plurality of module format data which define formats in a plurality of modules constituting a formatted document. A basic format database that stores a plurality of document format data that includes a plurality of item format data that defines formats of a plurality of detailed items that form a module in association with document type identification data, and one document type identification data Is designated, one of the plurality of document format data stored in the basic format database is associated with the one document format identification data corresponding to the one designated document type identification data by the module and the detailed item. A format editing display means for displaying the module format data and the item format data in a format for editing The module format data included in the displayed document format data can be edited for each module, and the item format data included in the displayed document format data can be edited for each detailed item. A format editing means capable of adding document name identification data to the document format data in
A first format database that is stored in association with the document name identification data provided by the format editing means, and one document name identification data is designated during text input or editing of one formatted document. , A format for text input or editing corresponding to the designated one document name identification data and reflecting a format defined by the document format data stored in the first format database, dedicated input for each detailed item A text input / editing display means for displaying a column, and a text input / editable text data input / editable for each of the detailed items in the dedicated input field at the time of text input or editing relating to the one formatted document. The editing means and the text data input or edited by the text input / editing means correspond to the text data and the first data The format of the format and the module in the detailed items that are respectively defined by the Field Format data and the module format data stored in the formula database, and output means for outputting as said document with one format.

According to the first formatted document creation system of the present invention, the basic format database stores the module format data and the item format data for each group such as a hospital to which a plurality of doctors who are users belong. A plurality of included document format data are stored in association with the document type identification data indicating, for example, a letter of introduction. Here, "module" refers to a plurality of parts or parts that form one format. For example, in the case of a "letter of introduction" format, a module indicating "introduction destination" and a module indicating "introduction source" ,
There is a module indicating "document title", a module indicating "patient attribute", and the like. And "detailed items" means
Refers to specific items that are actually displayed in text in each module. For example, in the case of a module called “referral”, the referral destination hospital name, referral doctor designation, referral address, referral telephone number There are multiple details such as numbers.

First, a user such as a doctor specifies, for example, one document type identification data indicating a "letter of introduction". Then, of the plurality of document format data stored in the basic format database, the one document format data corresponding to the designated one document type identification data is displayed by the format editing display means for each module and each detailed item. It is displayed in a format for editing the module format data and item format data. Here, by the format editing means,
The module format data included in the displayed document format data is edited for each module, or the item format data included in the displayed document format data is edited for each detailed item. Then, by the format editing means, for example, "letter 1" is added to the edited document format data.
Document name identification data indicating "letter of introduction 2" and the like is added.
Then, the document format data after editing by the format editing means is stored in the first format database in association with the document name identification data. Therefore, a document format including a desired detailed item format and a desired module format can be registered in advance in the first format database for each doctor, for example.

After that, when each doctor actually creates the formatted document, the desired formatted document can be created by using the format stored in the first format database. More specifically, at the time of text input or editing relating to one formatted document, one document name identification data is designated. Then,
A format for text input or editing that reflects the format defined by the document format data corresponding to the specified one document name identification data, and a dedicated input field for each detailed item is displayed by the text input / edit display means. It Then, the text input / editing means inputs or edits the text data for each detailed item in the dedicated input field. Then, the input or edited text data is output by the output means as one formatted document which is a creation target in the format in the detailed item and the format in the module respectively defined by the corresponding item format data and module format data. Output.

Here, the editing of the format of the module unit or the editing of the detailed item unit as described above packages the computer program for inputting or editing the text data in the module unit or the detailed item unit, that is,
The computer program may be componentized or mastered in module units or in detailed item units. As a result, when a final formatted document is created, it is sufficient to combine and use a plurality of computer programs made into these components. In short, by subdividing the document format according to the present invention by modularization or detailed itemization, the document format conventionally created or edited by a program for the entire document format can be combined with a simple program. It can be edited and created. This greatly increases the degree of freedom in creating and editing formats.

As described above, according to the present invention, a user such as a doctor has a desired format by changing or correcting the document format data stored in the basic format database at his / her own discretion. It is possible to efficiently create a formatted document having the text contents of.

The basic format database may be provided for each group to which a plurality of users of the formatted document creation system belong, and the first format database may be provided for each user. Furthermore, in this case, the group may be a hospital, the user may be a doctor, and the formatted document may be a letter of introduction addressed from the hospital to another hospital, an insurance bill, or the like.

[0016] In one aspect of the first formatted document creation system of the present invention, the format editing display means is configured to display the one document name identification data when inputting or editing a text related to the one formatted document. Is designated, one of the plurality of document format data stored in the first format database is associated with the one designated document name identification data, and the document format data corresponding to the module and the detailed item Separately, the module format data and the item format data are displayed in a format for editing, and the format editing unit is configured to display the displayed document format data when inputting or editing the text related to the one formatted document.

According to this aspect, one piece of document name identification data is designated at the time of text input or editing relating to one formatted document. Then, of the plurality of document format data stored in the first format database instead of the basic format database, one document format data corresponding to the specified one document name identification data is modularized by module and by detailed item. A format for displaying the format data and the item format data is displayed by the format editing display means. In this state, the module format data included in the displayed document format data is edited for each module by the format editing means. Alternatively, the item format data included in the displayed document format data is edited for each detailed item. After that, the edited document format data may be stored in the first format database again.

In another aspect of the first formatted document creating system of the present invention, the text data input or edited by the text input / editing means is associated with the one formatted document for each detailed item. The output means further includes an item text database to be stored, and the output means outputs the text data stored in the item text database as the one formatted document.

According to this aspect, the item text database stores the text data input or edited by the text input / editing means. And the output means is
The text data stored in the item text database is combined with the document format data and output as one formatted document.

In order to solve the above problems, the second formatted document creation system of the present invention includes a plurality of module format data defining formats in a plurality of modules forming a formatted document and a plurality of module format data forming each module. A first format database that stores a plurality of document format data that includes a plurality of item format data that defines the format of detailed items in association with document name identification data, and a text input or edit related to one formatted document At this time, when one document name identification data is designated, one document format corresponding to the designated one document name identification data among a plurality of document format data stored in the first format database. Formatting data for editing the module format data and the item format data for each module and each detailed item. And format for editing display means for displaying in,

A text input / editing display means for displaying a dedicated input field for each of the detailed items in a text input or text editing format that reflects the above; and a dedicated input for text input or editing of the one formatted document. Text input / editing means capable of inputting or editing text data for each of the detailed items in the input field; The item format database that stores the item format data after being edited by the formula editing means in association with the one formatted document, and the text data input or edited by the text input / editing means are added to the one formatted document. An output that outputs the one formatted document based on the item text database stored in association with the document, the item format data stored in the item format database, and the item text data stored in the item text database And means.

According to the second formatted document creation system of the present invention, the first format database stores the document format data including the module format data and the item format data for each doctor as a plurality of users. For example, a plurality of referral letters 1 are stored in association with the document name identification data indicating the “letter 2”.

First, a user such as a doctor designates one document name identification data indicating, for example, "letter 1". Then, of the plurality of document format data stored in the first format database, one document format data corresponding to the specified one document name identification data is displayed by the format editing display means by the module and the detailed item. Separately, it is displayed in a format for editing the module format data and the item format data. Here, by the format editing means,
The module format data included in the displayed document format data is edited for each module, or the item format data included in the displayed document format data is edited for each detailed item. On the other hand, the text input / edit display means displays a dedicated input field for each detailed item in a text input or text edit format that reflects the format defined by the document format data after editing by the format edit means. . Here, the text input / editing means inputs or edits the text data for each detailed item in the dedicated input field. Then, the item format data after being edited by the format editing means is stored in the item format database in association with one formatted document. On the other hand, in the item text database, the text data input or edited by the text input / editing means is stored in association with one formatted document. Therefore, one formatted document, which is a creation target having a document format including a desired detailed item format and a module format, is an item format data stored in the item format database and an item stored in the item text database. It can be output by the output means based on the item text data stored in the text database.

Here, the editing of the format in the module unit or the editing in the detailed item unit as described above is performed in the unit of module or in the unit of detailed item as in the case of the first formatted document preparation system described above. The computer program for inputting or editing can be packaged, that is, the computer program can be made into components and masters in module units or detailed item units. As a result, when a final formatted document is created, it is sufficient to combine and use a plurality of computer programs made into these components.

As a result of the above, according to the present invention, a user such as a doctor can freely change or modify the document format data stored in the first format database at the time of creating the document by himself / herself. It is possible to efficiently create a formatted document having a format and a desired text content.

In one aspect of the second formatted document creation system of the present invention or in the aspect including the item format database in the first formatted document creation system described above, the format editing means stores the item format database in the item format database. The stored item format data can be re-edited for each detailed item, the text input / editing means can re-edit the item text data stored in the item text database, and the output means can be the format. Other formatted documents may be output based on the item format data and the item text data after re-editing by the editing unit and the text input / editing unit.

According to this structure, the item edit data is re-edited for each detailed item by the format editing means, and the item text data is re-edited by the text inputting / editing means. Other formatted documents can be output based on the item format data and the item text data. Therefore, it is possible to easily and efficiently create a similar or slightly different formatted document.

In this aspect, the text input / editing display means refers to the text data stored in the item text database at the time of text inputting or editing of the other formatted document, One or a plurality of selection candidates or initial values are displayed in the dedicated input field, and the text input / editing means, in the dedicated input field,
One of the selection candidates or an initial value may be selected, approved, or changeable for each detailed item.

According to this structure, the text input / edit display means refers to the text data stored in the item text database at the time of text input or edit relating to another formatted document. In the dedicated input field,
One or more selection candidates or initial values are displayed. For example, a plurality of options are displayed in a window in a pull-down menu system in a dedicated input field. Alternatively, one initial value is displayed in the dedicated input field. Then, the text inputting / editing means selects, approves or changes one of the selection candidates or the initial value for each detailed item in the dedicated input field.

Is a natural number less than or equal to m), and one of the templates can be selected, and the template data inputting means can input the text data to be output to the predetermined area for each item on the selected one template. Prepare

According to this aspect, for example, when text data is input to a predetermined area in which a relatively large-scale document content is output, it is determined as appropriate according to the document or document type to be created. Only n types of templates that have been narrowed down in advance are selected as selection candidates. Therefore, it is very convenient for the operator as compared with the case of searching for a document or a document type to be created this time from all types of templates (that is, m types) without any particular limitation. As a result, for example, an appropriate template can be quickly selected for a predetermined area in which a relatively large-scale document content is output, and text data can be input very efficiently using the appropriate template.

In this aspect, the template input means may be configured to present at least a part of the text data input by the template input means in the past as a default value in association with the item of the template. Good.

With this configuration, when the text data is input to the predetermined area by using the template when creating the document, the text data input in the past will be replaced by the default value for each item in the template itself. Since it is presented as, the text data can be input more efficiently.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the first method for creating a formatted document of the present invention defines a step of designating one document type identification data and a format in a plurality of modules forming a formatted document. A basic format database that stores a plurality of document format data that includes a plurality of module format data and a plurality of item format data that defines formats in a plurality of detailed items forming each module in association with document type identification data. Of the plurality of stored document format data, one document format data corresponding to the designated one document type identification data is stored in the module format data and the item format data for each module and each detailed item. A display step for format editing for displaying in a format for editing, and before being included in the displayed document format data The module format data can be edited for each module, the item format data included in the displayed document format data can be edited for each detailed item, and the document name identification data for the document format data after editing can be edited. And a storage step of storing the document format data after editing by the format editing step in the first format database in association with the document name identification data given by the format editing step. When one document name identification data is designated at the time of text inputting or editing of one formatted document, the one document name identification data corresponding to the designated one is stored in the first format database. A format for text input or editing that reflects the format defined by the document format data. In the text input / editing display step of displaying a dedicated input field in the text input, and in the text input or editing related to the one formatted document, it is possible to input or edit text data for each detailed item in the dedicated input field. A text input / editing step and text data input or edited in the text input / editing step are respectively defined by the item format data and the module format data corresponding to the text data and stored in the first format database. And an output step of outputting the formatted document in the detailed item format and the module format.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION (First Embodiment) A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment described below, the formatted document creation system of the present invention is applied to the purpose of creating a medical-related document for each doctor provided in a hospital, and an electronic medical record is used for text input or editing. It is an embodiment that uses a patient database in which patient data obtained from the above is accumulated.

(First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a formatted document creation system as a first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a formatted document creation system 1
The hardware resources include known personal computers, workstations, medium-sized computers, large-sized computers, mobile computers (portable information terminals), computers such as electronic organizers, and the like. The storage device 2, the input device 3, the processing unit 4 , Display device 5, printing device 6,
The communication unit 7 and the reading device 8 are provided.

The storage device 2 is a hard disk device or an IC.
(Integrated Circuit) A memory, a magnetic disk device, a magneto-optical disk device, and other known storage devices that are randomly accessible. The storage device 2 has a basic format database 210 and an edited format database (corresponding to the “first format database” in the present invention) 22.
0, an item text database 230, and a patient database 240. Hereinafter, each of these databases 210, 220, 230 and 240 will be described in order.

First, in the basic format database 210, as conceptually shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of module format data J1 (1), ..., J1 (which defines formats in a plurality of modules forming a formatted document, respectively. m ₁ ), or generally Jd (m _d ), where d = 1, 2, ..., l
_Where m _d is an arbitrary positive integer), and a plurality of sets are stored.

For each of these sets, as shown in FIG. 2, document type identification data J (1), ..., J (l).
Is given. Here, the document type identification data J
(1), ..., J (l) are, for example, J
It is possible to give a more specific document type name such as "Introduction Letter" as (1) or "Insurance Claim Form" as J (2). As will be described later, a person who actually creates a formatted document is required to create one of the document type identification data J (1), ..., J (l) (that is, J (d)). By designating, a series of module format data Jd (1), ..., Jd corresponding to it
It is possible to call ( _md ).

Incidentally, in the above description and FIG.
_{1, m 2, ..., m} d, ..., m l is the number of modules included in each series of modules format data, that each may be a separate _{(i.e., m 1 ≠ m 2 ≠ ...} ≠ m d ≠ ... ≠ m
_l ), but of course there is a module of the same number for some or all of them (that is, for example, m ₁ = m ₂ = ... = m _d = ... = m _l ) Good.

Here, the "module" refers to a plurality of parts or parts that make up one format. For example, if the format is "letter of introduction" (that is, document type identification data), "introduction destination" , A module indicating “introducer”, a module indicating “document title”,
There is a module showing “patient attributes”. Each of the module format data Jd (1), ..., Jd ( _md ) is, for example, whether or not the module is displayed in the final formatted document, or the character representing the module is a character representing the module. In what position should it be placed, and whether the characters that represent it should be large or small (how many fonts should be used), bold or thin, what should the font itself be (for example, It is data consisting of information expressing whether to use morning type or gothic type). It should be noted that default values are set in advance for all the information, and the basic format database 2
10 stores the default value in the initial state.

On the other hand, the basic format database 210 is, for example, module format data J1 (1), ..., Shown in FIG.
A plurality of item format data J11 (1), ... J11 (n ₁ ), ..., J1 that define formats in a plurality of detailed items configuring each module so as to correspond to the J1 (m ₁ ) group.
m ₁ (1), ... (N _m1 ) are stored. Here, the item format data J11 shown on the leftmost side in FIG.
(1), ... J11 (n ₁ ) are format data relating to a plurality of detailed items corresponding to the module format data J1 (1). Although not shown in FIG. 2, item format data J12 (1), ... J1 that should be shown to the right of the item format data J11 (1), ... J11 (n ₁ ).
2 (n ₂ ) is format data regarding a plurality of detailed items corresponding to the module format data J1 (2). Then, the item format data J1 shown on the rightmost side in FIG.
m ₁ (1), ... J1m ₁ (n _m1 ) are format data relating to a plurality of detailed items corresponding to the module format data J1 (m ₁ ).

By the way, in the above description and FIG. 2, for example, one module format data J1 forming the J1 group.
(P) (p = 1,2, ..., m ₁ ) how many item format data J1p will be continuous (that is, J1
p (1), ..., How many n _p of J1p (n _p ) will be)
Is different for each module format data J1 (p), and in FIG.
_{, 1} , ..., N _m1 etc. (ie, generally n
₁ ≠ n ₂ ≠ ... ≠ n _p ≠ ... ≠ n _m1 . ). However,
It goes without saying that n ₁ = n ₂ = ... = n _p = ... = n _m1 and so on.

Although such item format data is not shown in FIG. 2, each of the module format data sets J2, J3, ... Correspondingly, it is also attached as described above. Speaking it in general, the basic format database 210, corresponding to the module format data Jd group Field Format data JD1, ..., so that it can be said that, JDM _d are stored. However, Jd1, ..., Jd
Similar to the J1 group described above, a plurality of format data regarding each of a plurality of detailed items exists in each m _d (that is, for example, Jd1 (1), Jd1 (2),
..., like Jd1 (n)).

Here, the "detailed item" refers to a specific item that is actually displayed in text in each module,
For example, in the case of the module “referral”, there are a plurality of detailed items such as the name of the referral hospital, the appointment of the referral doctor, the referral address, and the referral telephone number. The item format data Jd1, ..., Jdm _d are data defining the formats of these detailed items, for example, information such as the type of the detailed item, the heading of the detailed item, and the rule in the content text of the detailed item. Consists of. It should be noted that default values are set in advance for all the information, and the basic format database 210 stores the default values in the initial state.

As described above, the module format data Jd and the item format data J corresponding to each module format data Jd.
The d1, ..., Jdm _d have the configuration or structure as described above, but in the first embodiment, the whole of each of these data constitutes the “document format data” in the present invention. .

It should be noted that each of the module format data Jd has, as already described, the document type identification data J.
(1), ..., J (l) are attached, and when one of them, for example, J (1) is selected, the corresponding module format data J1 is called. At this time, the module format data J1 (1 ), ..., J1 (m ₁ ) has a plurality of item format data J11 as described above.
(1), ... J11 (n ₁ ), ..., J1m ₁ (1) ,.
Since J1m ₁ (n _m1 ) corresponds, according to the designation of the document identification data J (1) as described above, at the same time as the module format data J1 is called, the item format data J11 (1), ... J11 (n ₁₎ ) ... J1m
₁ (1), ..., J1m ₁ (n _m1 ) will also be called (see FIG. 2).

On the other hand, the edited format database 220 shown in FIG. 1 is, as shown in FIG. 3, an input device 3 and an edit processing section 42 of FIG. Is a database that stores data obtained as a result of appropriate editing, that is, edited document format data. Therefore, in the edited format database 220, as shown in FIG.
Module format data Jd and item format data Jd1, ..., Jd stored in the basic format database 210 described above.
Edited module format data Jd ^x (where x is any positive integer) and edited item format data Jd1 ^y , ..., Jdm, which are the edited results for each of m _d.
Each of _d ^y (where y is an arbitrary positive integer) is stored.

Here, the edited format database 22
0, or with regard to Fig. 3, note the following points.

Such meaning is included in x.

Further, the edited format database 220 stores only the edited data for the basic module format data Jd.
In FIG. 3, it is shown that the edited module format data is only one type (that is, J1 ¹ ) for the module format data J1.

The edited item format data Jd1 ^y ,
..., for the JDM _d ^y, things such as described above, namely that it is capable of multiple editing for one item format data, and, that only the edited item format data are stored, the The same applies. However, in this case, the meaning of the code y is slightly different from the meaning of the above-mentioned code x, and there are a plurality of different edited item format data corresponding to one edited module format data. It means that you can do it. That is, there can be a plurality of edited module format data for one "basic module format data", while the edited item format data can correspond to the corresponding "edited module format data". For one, there can be more than one.

Note that, in FIG. 3, items that have been edited
If the format data corresponds to the module format data J1
One type of edited item format data (ie J
11 ¹, ..., J1m₁ ¹) Is shown only
It

In the first embodiment, the input device 3 shown in FIG. 1, which is an example of the format editing means, will be described later with respect to one set of "document format data" that has been edited as described above. And the edit processing unit 42 causes the document name identification data K (1), ..., K (a) as shown in FIG.
(A is an arbitrary positive integer) can be given. Here, document name identification data K (1), ..., K
Specifically, (a) can be, for example, “referral letter 1” as K (1), “letter of referral 2” as K (2), or “(letter of referral) 2” as K (3). It is possible to give a more specific document name, such as "Taro Kono's letter of introduction" or "Insurance claim for August 2001" as K (4). In the first embodiment, the document name identification data K actually has such a specific name.
(1), ..., K (a).

The document name identification data K (1),
, K (a) is added to the item format data Jd1, ..., Jdm _d corresponding to the edited module format data Jd after any of the basic module format data Jd is edited. either is edited, as a result, edited module format data Jd ^x and edited Field format data JD1 y, ^..., stage where a set has been assembled in JDM _d ^y, i.e. the edited document format data 1
When the set is assembled, it is performed for the one set.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned editing work and the like for the document format data K (1), ...
It will be explained later.

Next, in the storage device 2, an item text database 230 as shown in FIG. 4 is stored. This item text database 230 is used by the user of the system to input the input device 3 and the edit processing unit 42, which will be described later.
It is a database that stores the text data input or edited in accordance with the detailed items in association with the formatted document. Here, "in association with the formatted document" means the above-mentioned document name identification data K (1), ..., K (a).
Any one of these, for example, K (s) (where s
Means selecting an integer satisfying 1 ≦ s ≦ a, and associating it with the document name identification data K (s) related to the selection when the above-mentioned text input / edit is performed, More specifically, it means to be associated with the edited item format data corresponding to the K (s).

That is, as shown in FIG.
The database 230 stores the text data T (Z)
First, certain document name identification data K (s) (in the figure,
It is stored in association with K (1)) as an example.
It And each one of this text data T (Z)
Is the edited data corresponding to the document name identification data K (1).

Becomes

Finally, the storage device 2 stores a patient database 240 as shown in FIG. this is,
This is an example of the “data file” referred to in the present invention, and simply includes a plurality of patient names N (1), N
It is a database that stores only (2), ... In an appropriate structure such as the Japanese syllabary order. The patient database 240 has a format in which a certain edited document format data is reflected, and a text is displayed through a screen in which a dedicated input field is displayed for each detailed item, as will be described later when describing a text input / edit operation. When inputting / editing, when the patient name, which is an example of the detailed items described above, is input, the document creator can refer to the name.

Although the formatted document creation system 1 in the first embodiment is configured to have only the patient database 240 as an example of the "data file" according to the present invention, the present invention is as described above. It is not limited to the form. That is, in principle, it is possible to provide databases having appropriate structures for all of the above detailed items. For example, although the example of “the hospital name of the referral destination” has been given as the above-mentioned detailed item, the embodiment of the “data file” relating to this is that the “introduction” in which only a plurality of hospital names are stored in an appropriate structure. It is easy to envision a “hospital name database”. The present invention naturally includes a database composed of various kinds of data as described above within the concept of “data file”.

Now, returning to FIG. 1 again, the processing unit 4
It is composed of U (Central Processing Unit),
The display processing unit 41 and the editing processing unit 42 are included.

The display processing section 41 constitutes an example of the "editing display means" according to the present invention, and the above-mentioned one document type identification data J (d) (1≤d is set via the input device 3.
When ≦ l) is specified, one document format data (that is, a module) corresponding to one specified document type identification data J (d) among a plurality of document format data stored in the basic format database 210. The format data Jd and the item format data Jd1, ..., Jdm _d ) are assigned to the module format data Jd (p) and the item format data Jdp (where p is 1,
2, ..., M _d ) generate display data for displaying in edit format.

Further, the display processing section 41 constitutes one example of the "text input / editing display means" according to the present invention, and when the text input or the edit relating to the one formatted document is performed, the one document is processed. When the name identification data K (s) is specified,
The edited document format data corresponding to the designated one document name identification data K (s) and stored in the edited format database 220 (that is, the edited module format data Jd ^x and the corresponding edit requires field format data JD1 y, ^..., in JDM d ^_y) text input or edited format reflects the format specified by, generates display data for displaying a special input field by said detailed items.

The display device 5 is a CRT (Cathode Ray Tub).
e) A well-known display device such as a device or an LCD (liquid crystal display device), which displays the display data generated by the display processing unit 41. The display device 5 constitutes an example of the "output means" according to the present invention.

The printing device 6 is a well-known printing device such as a laser beam printer or an inkjet printer, and prints out the display data displayed on the display device 5 in accordance with a print command. The printing device 6 may be of color or monochrome type. The printing device 6 constitutes an example of the "output means" according to the present invention.

[0099] The communication unit 7 includes module format data Jd and item form data JD1, ..., a modem for exchanging various files and data including JDM _d like with other computers or the like. The communication unit 7 is connected to another large computer, a personal computer, a mobile computer (portable information terminal), an electronic notebook, or the like via a communication line such as a wired line, a wireless line, a private line, a general line, or a telephone line. There is.

The reading device 8 is, for example, a CD drive or a D
It is composed of a VD drive, an FD (flexible disk) drive, and the like, and reads a computer program recorded on a recording medium 8a such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, and an FD. The computer program thus machine-read causes the computer, which is a hardware resource of the formatted document creation system 1, to function as the formatted document creation system. Incidentally, part or all of the basic format database 210 and the edited format database 220 built in the storage device 2 may be recorded in the recording medium 8a and read out as necessary. Particularly, since the basic format database 210 used for a general template has high versatility, it is convenient to store it beforehand in the recording medium 8a together with the computer program.

Particularly in the first embodiment, the edit processing section 42 and the input device 3 constitute an example of a format editing means or an example of a text input / editing means.

The input device 3 comprises a keyboard, a ten-key switch, a mouse, a trackball, an input pen, an input tablet and the like.

The input device 3 and the edit processing section 42 are configured so as to be able to specify an arbitrary position of the image displayed on the display device 5, and in particular, the module format data Jd or the items constituting the above-mentioned document format data. Format data Jd1,
..., input of edit information for Jdm _d , or input of text data in a dedicated input field displayed for each detailed item in a text input or edit format reflecting a format defined by edited document format data Alternatively, edit information can be input for the text data.

In the following, a flow chart showing the flow of the format editing operation and the operation of the formatted document creating system 1 corresponding thereto shown in FIG. 6, and the operation relating to the text input or editing shown in FIG. According to the flowchart showing the flow of operation of the formatted document creation system 1,
An operation example or an operation effect of the formatted document creation system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. In addition, in the following description, in addition to FIGS. 6 and 7 described above, various formats or display examples (FIGS. 8 and 9) displayed on the display device 5 of FIG. 1 in accordance with the operation or operation thereof. ) Will be described with appropriate reference.

First, a person who intends to create a document by using the formatted document creation system 1 has a plurality of document type identification data J as shown in step S11 of FIG.
One of (1), ..., J (l) is designated. Here, the document type identification data J (1), ..., J (l) are
As mentioned above, since names such as "letter of introduction" and "insurance claim" are attached according to the document type,
The document creator specifies the document type “introduction letter” when creating a letter of introduction, and the document type “insurance claim” when creating an insurance claim. Here, in order to make the following explanation clear, it is considered that the document type identification data J (1) is selected as the document type "introduction letter" ([] in FIG. 6).
The matters described in this mean this. ).

By designating the document type identification data J (1), the formatted document creation system 1 executes step S in FIG.
As shown in 12, the corresponding document format data is
It is called from the basic format database 210. The "document format data" referred to here is the module format data J1 corresponding to the document type identification data J (1) and the item format data J11, ..., J1m ₁ corresponding thereto.

Then, a screen as shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the display device 5 (step S13).
In FIG. 8, what is shown in the left column of the drawing is a module format edit area 51. In this area 51, the format of each module J1 (1), ..., J1 (m ₁ ) is It is possible to edit.

For example, in FIG. 8, in response to designation of the document type J (1) of "letter of introduction", a module indicating the "title" of the document (that is, J1).
(1). The same applies to the following), a module (J
1 (2)), a module (J1
(3)), a module (J1
(4)), the format can be edited for the module (J1 (5)) indicating "date". In addition,
In Figure 8, as you can see from what I just mentioned,
m ₁ = 5.

In the module format edit area 51, the document creator
At which position in the document the character expressing the module should be placed (see the box in the middle of each module in FIG. 8, reference numeral 51C), whether the character expressing it should be large or small (the number of fonts should be set) ) (See the box on the right side of each module in FIG. 8, reference numeral 51R), whether it is bold or thin (see the box on the left side of each module in FIG. 8, reference numeral 51L), etc. Can be set to. In addition, in the first embodiment, the rightmost box 51D of each module in FIG.
A new window (not shown) can be opened by pressing the "Details" button in the. In the window, what should be done with the font itself (for example, Mincho or Gothic font)? It is also possible to set whether or not to display the module in the first place.

Each module J initially shown in FIG.
The settings for 1 (1), ..., J1 (5) are all based on preset default values.
The document creator does not need to perform a special operation on the portion if he / she finds that the editing of the format is unnecessary.

Further, in FIG. 8, only the header module related to the header of the document is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a module related to the document content or a footer module related to the footer of the document. It goes without saying that these formats may be displayed together and these formats may be edited.

On the other hand, what is shown in the right column in FIG.
This is the eye format editing area 52. In this area 52,
Each detailed item J11 (1), ..., J11 (n₁), ... J

In the item format editing area 52, the document creator, with respect to the plurality of detailed items, displays the type of the detailed item, that is, whether or not to display the detailed item (FIG. 8).
Inside, box on the left of each detail item, refer to symbol 52L),
Whether or not the heading of the detailed item is displayed, what kind of heading is to be displayed (see the box in the middle of each detailed item in FIG. 8, reference numeral 52C), and the rule in the content text of the detailed item (in FIG. 8) , A box to the right of each detailed item, and reference numeral 52R) can be set.
The “rule” that can be set in the box 52R is, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, regarding the “patient name” which is the item format data J14 (1), this is in Kanji. Refers to "rules" in the meaning of displaying, displaying in Roman letters, displaying in katakana, etc. In terms of item format data J14 (4) "Date of birth", this is displayed in the Western calendar. It refers to the "rule" in the sense of whether to display or display in the Japanese calendar.

The detailed items J1 initially shown in FIG.
The settings regarding 4 (1), ..., J14 (9) are based on preset default values. The document creator does not need to perform a special operation on the portion if he / she finds that the editing of the format is unnecessary.

Using the screen as described above, the document creator uses the basic module format data J1 and item format data J1 as shown in step S14 of FIG.
Edited module format data J1 is created by editing J1, ..., J15 in a desired manner.
¹ and the edited item format data J11 ¹ ,
..., to create the J15 ^1. As is clear from FIG. 8, this editing operation is performed by following the instruction on the screen, for example, by pressing a known pull-down menu with a mouse as an example of the input device 3. By displaying the menu, selecting a desired setting from the menu (see the detailed item “profession” in FIG. 8), or by directly inputting using a keyboard which is an example of the input device 3. And so on.

Thus edited data J1 ¹ and J
When the creation of 11 ¹ , ..., J15 ¹ is completed, then the document creator, as in step S15 of FIG. 6, has the document name identification data K (1), ..., Shown in the upper left of FIG. K
By using the input field 53 of (a), the edited module format data J1 ¹ and edited Field Format Data J
11 ^1, ..., with respect to J15 ^1, suitable document name identification data K (1), ..., confers K (a). Here, as the document name identification data K (1), ..., K (a), as described above, specifically, for example, K (s) may be “Taro Kono's letter of introduction” or the like. It is possible. Hereinafter, the description will be continued on the assumption that the letter of introduction 1 (that is, K (1) = “letter 1”) is input as the document name identification data “K (1)”.

Then, the formatted document creation system 1 receives the input of the document name identification data K (1) and, together with the data K (1), edits the above-mentioned edited data as in step S16 of FIG. of the module format data J1 ¹ and edited item format data ^J11 1, ..., J15
¹ is stored in the edited format database 220 (see FIG. 3).

By the above, the format editing operation of the module format data and the item format data and the operation of the formatted document creating system 1 accompanying this are completed (step END).

[0120] Next, authors, edited module format data J1 ¹ and edited item format data J11 1 that has been edited as described above, ^..., using the J15 ^1, actually create a format with document That is, the text input / editing work is carried out. In this case,
The work is performed, for example, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7 and based on the display screen example shown in FIG.

That is, first, as shown in step S21 of FIG. 7, the document creator determines the document name identification data K
A desired one is designated from (1), ..., K (a).
In FIG. 9, the document name identification data K (1),
, K (a) is selected in the input field PK shown on the upper right side in the figure. In order to maintain continuity with the above description, it is assumed that the designated document name identification data is K (1), that is, "letter 1" (described in [] in FIG. 7). The matters
This means this. ).

Based on the designation of the document name identification data K (1), the formatted document creation system 1 sets the edited document format with K (1) as shown in step S22 of FIG. Data, that is, edited module format data J1 ¹ and edited item format data J11 ¹ , ...
The J15 ^1, calling from the edited database 220.

Then, on the display device 5, as shown in FIG. 9, the dedicated input field P (Z) (Z represents each detailed item J11 ¹ (1), ..., J15 ¹ ) for each detailed item. However,
In FIG. 9, for simplicity, it is represented as Z ′ = 1, 2, .... ) Is displayed on the screen (step S23). In FIG. 9, the format that is displayed on the display device 5, edited module format data J1 ¹ and edited Field Format Data J11 1, ^..., J
It has become a reflection of the 15 ^1. That is, first,
Box 5 on the left side in the item format editing area 52 of FIG.
In 2L, when a certain detail item is set or edited so that the display is "unnecessary" (that is, FIG.
In (when the check box of each detailed item is not checked), the dedicated input field for the detailed item is not displayed in the first place. In addition, the dedicated input field P shown in FIG.
When some text data T (Z) is input to (Z) and is output as a formatted document, the module format and item format set in FIG. 8 are applied. . This itself is not clear only from FIG. 9, and will be described with reference to FIG. 10 later.

Then, the document creator performs step S in FIG.
24, such edited module format data J1 ¹ and edited item format data J11 ¹ ,
..., in a format that reflects the J15 ^1, through a dedicated input field P (Z) is the screen displayed by detailed items, input the text data T (Z), or to edit.

At this time, in the first embodiment, the following operation can be performed regarding the input of the text data T (8) of the patient name. That is, the document creator presses the “DB (database) reference” button B displayed adjacent to the patient name dedicated input field P (8) in FIG. 9 with the input device 3 such as a mouse. As a result, the contents of the patient database 240 are displayed in a window or the like that is not shown and opened separately, and the document creator displays a large number of patient names N (1), N displayed in this window.
It is possible to select a desired patient from (2), .... Then, the selected patient name is automatically entered in the patient name dedicated input field P (8). That is, in the first embodiment, the selection operation of the patient name from the patient database 240 can replace the direct input to the patient name dedicated input P (8).

As described above, in the formatted document creation system 1 in the first embodiment, since the storage device 2 is provided with the patient database 240, the handling is simplified in a hospital that generally examines a large number of patients. Can be realized. Further, with such a form, it is possible to reduce the possibility of an error due to direct input.

In the first embodiment, the direct input operation of the text data of the patient name is performed in the patient database 240.
Although it was possible to replace only the selection operation from the above, the present invention is not limited to such a form. That is, as described above, the “data file” according to the present invention can be provided with a database having an appropriate structure for each of the detailed items described above. Regarding the “hospital name of the referral destination”, if the “referral hospital name database” is separately provided, the above-mentioned dedicated inputting of the patient name is also performed in the referral destination hospital name dedicated input field P (2) in FIG. It is possible to perform the same operation as in the field P (8).

After such text input / edit operation,
The text data T (Z) will be stored in the item text database 230 as in step S25 of FIG. 7 (see FIG. 4).

As described above, the document creator who has finished inputting the text data T (Z) can output it using the display device 5 or the printing device 6. At this time, the output document with the text data T (Z) is edited module format data J1 ¹ and edited Field Format Data J11 1, ^..., become a be performed in the format specified by J15 ¹ it is needless to say Yes.

For example, the document output based on the edited document format data set or edited as shown in FIG. 8 is as shown in FIG. In FIG. 10, for example, the format of the “title” module, which is the module J1 ¹ (1), is shown in the module format editing area 51 of FIG. 8 with “bold + line” added to the “center” of the document. And it turns out that it is based on the format of outputting using a "large" font. Also, the format of the "patient attribute" module, which is the module J1 ¹ (4), is based on the format of "standard" except that it is output to the "left" side of the document, as shown in FIG. I understand.

Furthermore, this "patient attribute" module J1
It is possible to set or edit the format of each detailed item constituting ¹ (4) by using the screen as shown in the item format editing area 52 of FIG. It can also be seen that the document output is realized based on the setting or editing. That is, FIG.
In 0, the detailed item "patient name + gender" is displayed as "no heading", and the detailed items "date of birth" and "age" are headed as "date of birth" and "age", respectively. It is understood that it is based on the format in which the date of birth is output in the Japanese calendar and the age is output in "only numbers", in addition to the output.

In the lower part of FIG. 10, an area C for outputting the document contents follows, and finally an area for outputting a footer or the like (not shown) is connected and finally output as a formatted document. Will be done. Incidentally, in the present invention, the formats in these areas can also be set or edited in the same manner as in the above-mentioned modules or detailed items related to the header, or by using a screen substantially similar to that shown in FIG. Some things have already been mentioned.

As described above, according to the formatted document creation system 1 according to the first embodiment, the formatted document such as a letter of introduction between hospitals can be efficiently processed by the user with a high degree of freedom regarding the format. It is possible to create it.

In the above description, the format editing operation and the text inputting / editing operation are continuously performed, but in the present invention, it is not always necessary to follow such an operating method. That is, only the format editing operation (ie, FIG.
It is needless to say that only the text input / edit operation (that is, only FIG. 7) may be performed. In addition, in relation to this, only the document format data relating to a document that is normally used by a certain document creator (for example, J (1) to J (l) among J (1), ..., J (l))
(10) is selected, and only the module format data and item format data corresponding to these are selected), and the format editing operation is performed in advance, and the text input / edit operation is performed at any time when necessary. It may be a method. Rather, such a method of operation could be considered normal.

Further, in the above-described format editing operation, the module format data J1 and the item format data J11, ..., J1m ₁ stored in the basic format database 210 are designated by designating the document type identification data J (1). However, in the present invention, instead of or in addition to this, the document document identification data J (1), ..., J (l) are not designated,
Document name identification data K (1), ..., by specifying any one of K (a), the module formats already the edited data Jd ¹ and item form data JD1 ^1,
..., the _Jdm ^{1 1,} may be in the form, such as edit.
That is, in this case, the document format data is "re-edited".

Next, with reference to FIG. 11, in the present embodiment, a specific example of a process of inputting text data and the like using a template to the area C where the document content shown in FIG. 10 is output will be further described. Add.

In FIG. 11A, the screen 5a is shown in FIG.
Of the display device 5 shown in FIG. 9 or the display device 5 shown in FIG.
The screen 5a is the same as the screen of FIG. 8, but a button 310 for calling the template, which is not shown in FIG. ) Is displayed.

Here, a desired one is selected from a plurality of templates that have been prepared in advance and have a template name such as “severe acute initial diagnosis 1”, “severe acute initial diagnosis 2”, “severe acute initial diagnosis 3” ... A window screen 320 for selecting one is displayed.

Then, when the operator selects one of the template names in the window screen 320 that corresponds to a desired one with the mouse or the like (here, "severe acute initial diagnosis part 2" is selected). Then, as shown in FIG. 11C, the selected template is displayed in the screen 5c of the display device. In this example, "sex",
A check box 311 is displayed for each item such as "dominant hand", and a text input field 3 for each item such as blood type and occupation.
32 is provided. These plural items are preset for each template type.

In the present embodiment, preferably, FIG.
Alternatively, the types of templates displayed as selection candidates in FIG. 11B are associated with the document or document type that is the creation target as illustrated in FIG. 9. The association data defining this association is stored in the storage device 2 together with the basic format database 210, the edited format database 220, and the like. And FIG.
Only templates that have been narrowed down in advance as appropriate according to the document or document type to be created in (b) (that is, at least a number smaller than all types) are selected as candidates for selection. Therefore, it is very convenient for the operator.

More preferably, each item of the template (check box 311 and text input field 3 is thus described).
The text data input in 32) is also stored in association with each item of the template. More specifically, the association data indicating these associations is
For example, it is stored in the storage device 2 shown in FIG. After that, when the template is displayed as a selection candidate and actually selected, this text data is
It is recommended to display it as the default value in the text input field of the corresponding item.

As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to quickly select an appropriate template for the area C in which the document contents shown in FIG. 10 are output, and it is very efficient to use the appropriate template. You can enter text data. In addition, when creating a document, if the template is used as shown in FIG. 11 and the work is performed every time, the input text data will be changed for each item in the template itself as shown in FIG. Since it is displayed as the default value, the text data can be input to the area C more efficiently.

(Second Embodiment) A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
