  The present invention relates to a system for acquiring and processing data as a work item, and delivering a processing result, and more particularly, to a delivery method of the processing result and a display method of the delivery state.

  Today, where so-called OA devices are widely used, various unprocessed cases (hereinafter referred to as work items) that have been processed in writing in the past are registered as information data in a large number of computers. There is a remarkable spread of business forms in which a plurality of processes are performed according to the business of the customer, and the final information obtained as a result is provided to the customer as a product. As a result, the information that is handled today is increasingly being saved in writing, and the tendency to become a computer-based database is becoming stronger.

  In this way, when information is made into a database one by one, the location of the information is searched for a computer, a file in which the information is recorded is searched, and after confirming the contents and progress of the file, predetermined processing is performed. There must be. However, in many cases, only the creator knows the file storage location and file name, and in order to know the progress, the contents of the file must be thoroughly verified, so when the creator is absent Has the inconvenience that it is necessary to perform an extremely complicated prior work of checking the processing completed phase of the work item before performing the important work.

  In addition, due to the fact that due dates are attached to the work, it is necessary to manage the due dates, and especially if many work items are registered and their processing progresses individually on a daily basis. It is not easy to determine whether or not the situation satisfies a predetermined schedule.

  In addition, if there are multiple processing phases in the business and different processing is performed for each, different types of information data may be filed for each work item as the business progresses. Furthermore, as a result of an increase in information data to be managed such as backup files, the management work thereof becomes complicated for the user.

As a technique for eliminating the complexity of work that the user suffers as described above, for example, a technique for enhancing a user interface as disclosed in Patent Document 1 below, or a user as disclosed in Patent Document 2 below, for example. Although a schedule management system for notifying a user of a reminder in accordance with a work item related to a schedule event has been introduced, the inconvenience has not been solved.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of an information processing program and an information processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described in detail based on operations ranging from a rebar processing request to delivery of processed rebar.

  The information processing apparatus shown here is composed of a computer having an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse, and an output device such as a display device and a printer, and accepts workbooks, workbook creation, and reinforcing bar shape grouping (working unit creation). For multiple processing phases (see Fig. 2) consisting of standard assignment, line assignment (processing) assignment, pictogram printing, processing instruction printing, loading book creation, loading instruction printing, etc. A work item is selected in the menu window 1 of the current phase in the main menu (see FIG. 9) 2 that collectively displays the menu windows 1 of a plurality of processing phases in accordance with a series of processing sequences leading to output, and a processing command for the work item is accepted. The processing program assigned to the processing command of the information processing program With applying the ram, an information processing apparatus including a processing transition means to transfer the display of the work items from the menu window 1 of the current phase to the menu window 1 of the next phase (see Fig. 1).

  The various functions of the information processing apparatus are selectively operated by the information processing program recorded in a storage device of a computer. In this example, various forms are extracted from a database and the display is extracted. An input support means for prompting the user to input various commands and data, a work item registration means for accepting a work item profile and registering its contents in a database, and given in advance when registering the information Content management means for attaching to the display of the work item a message indicating whether or not the required input items are complete, and a work book creation means that functions by executing each processing program to be applied in each processing phase , Processing unit creation means, standard assignment means, line assignment means, pictograms Printing means, the processing instruction sheet making means, and stacking drafting unit, and loading instructions printing means, and said processing shifting unit, the flag managing means, and scheduling means are provided (see FIG. 3).

  When the information processing program is activated, the form of the main menu 2 is read from the database and output to the display device. The main menu 2 includes a workbook reception menu including two menu windows 1A and 1B for accepting a workbook and completing a workbook, and creating a workbook, creating a processing unit, assigning a standard, and a standard Workbook creation menu consisting of four menu windows 1C, 1D, 1E, and 1F for which assignment has been completed, processing assignment menu and loading book creation menu each having one menu window 1G and 1H, processing assigned, and pictorial printed 4 menu windows 1I, 1J, 1K, and 1L for processing instructions, and processing completion, and 4 menu windows 1M, 1N, 1 for loading, creating, loading instructions, loading completion, and delivery completion The loading / shipping menu consisting of 1O and 1P conforms to a series of processing sequence from work item reception to result output. It is provided as a menu for the process phase, and the menu window 1 in the process state is displayed with a list of icons 3 and labels 4 that are identifiers of items in the process phase, and intermediate phase items are registered halfway For convenience, an icon 3 labeled “Newly Created” is provided in each menu window, and each menu window has a unique menu ID (here, a drawer code assigned to each menu window). (1A to 1P) will be described assuming that the menu ID is also assumed.).

  The database includes a plurality of forms read out to perform input support when the information processing apparatus performs various functions, a plurality of data tables related to registered work items, and data to be recorded in each of them. Fields are formed, and a single data file including the plurality of data tables is formed for each work item.

  As a specific example of the data table related to the work item, a data table related to reception, a data table related to reinforcing bars, a data table related to machining shapes, a data table related to processing lines, and a data table related to tracks are prepared. The data table includes an index table in which a field for recording an index of each table is provided. Each table ID is used as an index for each data table, and an index for each item. (Refer to FIG. 1).

  In the field indicated by the ID (reception ID) of the data table relating to the reception, the field for recording the requester, the delivery place, the delivery date, the processing date, and the loading date is indicated by the ID (rebar ID) of the data table relating to the reinforcing bar. The field is provided with a plurality of fields for recording the material shape, diameter, fixed length, number of fixed pieces, and processing shape ID as specific processing requests using the reinforcing bars. A plurality of data tables regarding reinforcing bars may be prepared for each type of material, diameter, or the like, or as necessary.

  Further, in the field indicated by the ID (machining shape ID) of the data table related to the machining shape, the field for recording the shape (shape coordinate or shape BMP), the function, the cut size, and the number is the field of the data table related to the machining line. In the field indicated by ID (machining line ID), name (machine name), location, operation (cutting, bending, transport, etc.), rebar diameter, unit time processing capability (number of cuttings, number of bendings, weight, etc.) Each field for recording is provided.

  Further, the field indicated by the ID (track ID) of the data table relating to the track is provided with a field for recording the name, load weight, and owner of the track.

  The work item registration means functions when a computer that receives a registration command generated by a user clicking on a newly created icon displayed in the accepting menu window operates a work item registration program, Work item identifiers, receipt date, delivery date, number of workbooks, remarks, site, ordering source (customer, etc.), person in charge (foreman, etc.), applicable area Profiles such as building, work area, floor, site, or site details) and processing type (conventional processing, etc.) are received and the contents are registered in the database.

  In the processing book reception process, the input support means functions by the operation of the input support program, displays a processing book reception form (see FIG. 10) 7 from the database, and displays the processing book reception form 7 on the processing book reception form 7. The identifier (name, number, code, etc.) and profile of the work item input using the input device to the provided entry box 12 are stored in a memory assigned to each entry box such as a field indicated by the reception ID. In response to an input end command from the user, the identifier and profile stored in the memory are recorded in the database. For the work item once recorded in the database in this way, the icon 3 and the label 4 of the work item are added to the menu window 1A that is accepting the processing book in the processing phase.

  Thereafter, the computer functions as the input support means upon receiving a processing command such as clicking the icon of the registered work item in the menu window 1A that is accepting the workbook, and the identifier, profile, and existing The contents and the processing book reception form (see FIG. 10) 7 are read out from the database to the memory, and the contents of the work item are entered in the processing book reception form 7 (if not present, blank) display Output to the device.

  In response to a correction command generated by a user input operation such as a click operation on the switch 10 provided on the processing book receiving form 7, a predetermined data input form (not shown) is further displayed and the entry box is displayed. The input items are corrected as necessary, and an input termination command or approval command is clicked by a user clicking on the switch 10 on the processing book receiving form 7 or from the menu window 1A that is receiving the processing book after the input is completed. In response to an approval command generated by drag-and-drop operation of the icon to the menu window 1B for completion of processing book reception, the already-input items held in the memory are recorded in the database together with the identifier of the work item.

  As described above, the computer that has received the approval command for the registered contents of the work item with the switch 10 of the workbook receiving form 7 operates the input support program and outputs the form of the main menu 2 from the database to the display device. For the registered work item that has received the approval command in the processing book reception form 7, the icon 3 is deleted from the menu window 1A that is receiving the processing book, and the processing window reception completion menu window that is the next phase. It is added as the display content of 1B. In addition, for a command to end input without approval, the main menu 2 in the same state as before the editing operation is displayed on the display device.

  In this example, the data entry form is given so that it can be determined at a glance whether or not the work item satisfies the conditions for moving to the next processing phase. Content management means for attaching a message indicating whether or not the required input conditions are complete to the icon with its color.

  In the past, data entry forms could not be completed until the required input conditions were met, or even if it was completed, the existing input data in the middle of input was canceled, even if it was not canceled, There is a problem that it is not possible to easily confirm whether or not a work item satisfies the essential input conditions unless the work item file is opened.

  In the above conventional state, it is sufficient that all data related to the work item can be input by one user, but today, one computer is used by a plurality of users, or one network server in the form of division of labor from a plurality of terminal devices. In many cases, the inconvenience is relatively large. It is also inconvenient when the user cannot leave the work item file open, such as when he leaves his seat in the middle of input work.

  The content management means assigns indispensable items indispensable for shifting to the next phase among the inputs in each work item to the work forms in each processing phase, and registers them in the database. When the required items are not satisfied with respect to the content of the input data when the work in is completed, for example, a gray icon is displayed, and when the required items are satisfied, the gray icon is displayed. For example, it is changed to a light blue icon and output to the display device.

  Specifically, when the computer finishes the work by the data input form in response to the input completion instruction from the user, for example, the memory field assigned as the content of the work item, for example, Check the required items such as “Is there a site name input?”, “Is there an entry date?”, “Is there a delivery date input”, etc., and all the required items are satisfied? In this case, the status flag of the work item linked to the icon 3 representing the work item is updated (the status corresponds to the status after status flag “02” in FIG. 8B). The display on the menu window 1 in the main menu 2 with the display output to the display device including the display data of the icon 3 given the color corresponding to the flag It is intended to change the color of the icon 3 (see FIG. 7).

  As described above, for work items that have been successfully accepted as work items, the work book reception process, the work book creation process, the process unit creation process, and the standard assignment process shall be performed sequentially or selectively. It becomes. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when a drag-and-drop operation is performed from a menu window 1B that has been accepted to a menu window 1C that is creating a workbook, the computer that has received it operates the workbook creation program as the processing program, and Based on the work book creation form 8 read out from the database by the function of the creation means, for example, the data recorded in the data table related to the reinforcing bar is the work book of the work item as shown in FIG. Output to the display device as an image. If there is no input data, each entry box 13 is blank.

  Data determined based on the menu window 1 selected as the drop location by dragging and dropping the identifier of the desired work item from the menu window 1 of the current phase to the menu window 1 of the next phase as in the processing book receiving process. An input form and image are output to the display device and predetermined processing is performed, both of which are due to the function of the processing transition means provided in the computer.

  This process transfer means operates in the menu window 1 of the current phase displayed on the main menu 2 that displays the menu windows 1 of a plurality of process phases in a batch according to a series of process sequences from reception of work items to output of final results. It functions by the processing transition program running on the computer in response to a processing command generated by a drag-and-drop operation or double-click operation on the identifier of the work item when an item is selected, and the series shown in FIG. Execute the process.

  That is, when the icon 3 of the desired work item is dragged and dropped by the user as described above, first, the target icon 3 is selected from the index linked to the target icon 3 of the processing command existing at the dragging start position. A flag table in which target data of a work item as an identification code is acquired, and subsequently, the flag management program is operated, and the status flag of the work item is extracted from the target data and configured in the status flag field A comparison is made with reference to (see FIG. 8B), and the flag management means performs an inspection to determine whether or not the work item is a movable item that satisfies the essential items for executing the processing command. . In the flag table, a table in which the relationship between the item status flag and the menu ID is defined is provided as one of the determination criteria of the flag management means. For example, for the work item having a certain status flag It is checked whether or not the menu window that has been dragged and dropped is a menu window that is allowed as a drag-out bring-out menu window and a drop-destination receiving menu window for the state flag.

  If it is determined that the work item satisfies the essential items, then the processing program in the processing phase is acquired from the index linked to the menu window 1 to which the icon 3 is dropped, and the input support program is run to operate the computer. Functions as the input support means. The input support means reads out the information assigned to the processing program and the input support form that prompts the input of the commander (in the case of the above process, the workbook creation form 8) and reads it from the database and outputs it to the display device. To do. In these forms, for example, in the processing book creation form 8, a switch 11 having a one-line insertion function or a one-line deletion function, an entry box 13 for inputting characters, etc. The editing means is appropriately provided.

  Data input to the computer using the editing means is recorded in each field of the memory indicated by an index defined as a storage location of various input items and processing results by the processing program. When receiving a processing command from the user to end the program of the editing means by the drop operation, the computer first operates the content management program to manage whether the required items required for each processing phase are satisfied. If the essential items to be given in the processing phase are not satisfied, the processing program stores the data recorded in the memory in the database, and a series of processing by the processing transition means Exit.

  On the other hand, when the essential items in the processing phase are satisfied, the processing program records the data input to the computer by the editing work in each field of the memory and sets the status flag of the work item. The status is updated to the movable status (the state flag “02” or “03” in FIG. 8B), and the process transition means is the original current phase menu window excluding the icon 3 and label 4 of the work item. 1 and the menu window 1 of the new current phase (the next phase) to which the work item icon 3 and the label 4 are added, and a plurality of others included in a series of processing sequences from receiving the work item to outputting the result Display the main menu 2 that displays the menu window 1 of the processing phase at once. Output to Lee device, and ends the series of processing by the process migration means. The essential items are inspected by the content management means by confirming the essential items in each processing phase by the procedure described above.

  Thus, in the processing book creation process performed based on the processing book creation program read out by the function of the processing transition means, the function of the input support means by the operation of the input support program is further executed from the database. The processing book creation form (see FIG. 11) 8 is displayed, and the name, diameter, material, and machining shape of the reinforcing bar input to the entry box 13 provided in the processing book creation form 8 using the input device. , The cut size, the number, the location, and the total are held in the field indicated by the reinforcing bar ID of the memory assigned to each entry box 13, and the content held in the memory in response to an input termination command from the user Record in the database. When a plurality of reinforcing bars are entered, a plurality of fields for recording the reinforcing bar IDs are provided as indexes of the data table related to the reinforcing bars recorded in the field indicated by the item ID, and the fields indicated by the reinforcing bar IDs. Are provided with a plurality of fields for recording the material, diameter, standard length, standard number, and machining shape ID.

  In addition, upon receiving the command to end the input, the processing book creation form 8 is closed, and for the registered work item that has received the command to end the input, the icon 3 is deleted from the menu window 1 of the reception completion. Then, it is added as the display contents of the menu window 1 during the creation of the processing book as the next phase.

  Further, even in the processing, the computer causes the content management means to function when receiving the input termination command from the user and ending the work using the data input form, and stores the contents as the work item content and the like. In the data stored in, check whether there are any mandatory items in order, and if all the mandatory items are satisfied, the processing program of the relevant processing phase is linked to the icon that displays the work item. The status flag of the work item is updated (the state before the update corresponds to the status flag “04” in FIG. 8B), and the icon given the color corresponding to the flag is updated. The color of the icon 3 displayed on the menu window 1 in the main menu 2 by the display output to the display device including the display data 3 is displayed. To reduction.

  As described above, the processing program operated by the function of the processing transition means reads out an input support form for prompting input of information and command from the database by the function of the input support means, and outputs the input support form to the display device. The input items are recorded in a predetermined field of the memory and are recorded in the database in response to a processing command indicating that the input operation has been completed. If necessary, the data recorded in the memory is recorded in the database. In some cases, a processing program for performing a predetermined process, calculation, or the like is further functioned before the process is performed.

  For example, in the subsequent processing unit creation process, the process transition means drags and drops from the menu window 1C in the main menu 2 that is creating the work book to the menu window 1D that is in the process unit creation, thereby starting the dragging position. Is obtained from the index linked to the target icon 3 of the processing command that exists in the processing item, and the data of the work item having the target icon 3 as an identification code is obtained. A flag check is performed to determine whether or not the item is a movable item that satisfies the required items for executing the processing command with reference to the flag, and the required items are satisfied as described above. Next, the process transfer means The target icon 3 to the acquired processing unit creation program running from the index linked to a menu window which is dropped as a processing program in the processing phase.

  By the operation of the machining unit creation program, the computer functions as a machining unit creation means for grouping reinforcing bar shapes, and further operates an input support program linked to the machining unit creation program to group the reinforcing bar shapes. It functions as an input support means for inputting conditions. The processing unit creation means reads out various data (see FIG. 1) recorded in the fields indicated by the reception ID, the reinforcing bar ID, and the processing shape ID from the database, and performs aggregation processing that satisfies the grouping condition. .

  In the tabulation process, for example, data relating to the same type of reinforcing bar that is included in the same item and processed in the same type is recorded in a memory in one record, and the contents are entered in the processing book creation form 8. The processed book image of the shape is output to the display device. When there are a plurality of machining shape IDs, that is, when reinforcing bars extending over a plurality of lines are entered in the machining book shown in FIG. 11A, some of them have a common machining shape. In some cases, the computer on which the machining unit creation program has run displays the machining shape IDs together, or reduces the machining shape IDs included in the data table indicated by one reinforcing bar shape ID accordingly. The state is recorded and stored in a database (see FIG. 11B).

  In addition, as a standard assignment process, which is the next phase in the reinforcing bar management system, it operates by dragging and dropping the target icon 3 from the menu window 1D during processing unit creation to the menu window 1E during standard assignment. As with the standard assignment processing program, according to the standard assembling conditions set by the user in the processing book creation form 8 used in the editing work, the assembling rule table (various standard A reference is automatically assigned with reference to a table in which the number of objects according to the dimension band is determined), and the target icon 3 is displayed from the menu window 1E during the assignment to the menu window 1F after the assignment of the reference. A processing program is also included.

  As described above, when the standard is assigned by the standard assignment means, the processing line is then assigned through the processing line assignment processing. However, considering the efficiency of processing, the reinforcing bars and the processing machine are effectively used. Therefore, it is preferable to perform regrouping. For example, if there are rebars registered in work items awaiting processing that have the same processing shape at different sites, they can be processed together and sorted at the time of loading.

  In addition, when loading processed rebars, it is necessary to load rebars used in the field regardless of the processing shape. Depending on the load weight, it is necessary to arrange a plurality of trucks, and if the directions are the same, a plurality of on-site materials may be mixed. Therefore, after the standard assignment processing, processing in the processing field such as line (processing) assignment processing, pictogram printing processing, or processing instruction printing processing, and loading field such as loading book creation processing and loading instruction printing processing Processing will be planned and transitioned separately.

  Since there are a plurality of next phases with respect to the current phase at the branching point of such processing, simply moving the icon 3 from the menu window 1 of the current phase to the menu window 1 of the next phase, the menu window of the current phase The target icon 3 disappears from 1, and the process to the remaining field cannot be performed. Therefore, the color of the target icon 3 displayed in the menu window 1 of the current phase is changed by dragging and dropping the target icon 3 waiting for processing existing in the menu window 1 of the current phase to the menu window 1 of the next phase. The color of the icon 3 that has been dropped on the menu window 1 of the next phase is changed to a color (gray etc.) indicating that the processing has not been completed in the next phase. It is a process transition means for displaying (see FIG. 8B and FIG. 19).

  Then, with respect to the target icon 3 displayed in the color (such as orange) indicating the presence of the unfinished field in the menu window 1 of the current phase, further to the menu window 1 of the next phase which is another processing field. The icon 3 displayed in the menu window 1 of the current phase is deleted and dropped to the menu window 1 of the next phase, which is the other field, on condition that the process command is received by dragging and dropping. The icon 3 thus displayed is displayed in a color (gray etc.) indicating that the processing in the phase has not been completed.

  Thus, when there are two or more processing fields that branch from the processing phase, a status flag corresponding to the progress of processing in the processing phase is provided, and an icon in the main menu 2 corresponding to the status flag is provided. The menu window 1 of the processing phase corresponding to the branch point is not only provided with a function of setting the display color 3 and outputting display data corresponding to the display color. Which is provided (see FIG. 8B) and has a function of setting the display color of the icon 3 in the main menu 2 according to the status flag and outputting display data according to the display color. By looking at the color of the icon 3 displayed on the main menu 2 to determine whether the processing field is unprocessed, the processing transition can be determined at a glance. It is desirable that the unit.

  For example, a case where the work item icon 3 exists in the menu window 1F that has been assigned a fixed size in a color (light blue, etc.) indicating processing waiting and the processing allocation process has not started (see FIG. 19) will be described. Is dragged and dropped to the processing assignment menu window 1G in accordance with the arrow of the main menu 2, so that the processing shift means immediately displays the icon 3 existing in the menu window 1F for which the fixed length assignment has been completed. In addition to changing to a color (orange, etc.) indicating the presence of the incomplete processing field, a new icon 3 (color, eg, gray) indicating that processing has not been completed in the phase is added to the processing assignment menu window 1G. Now, it can be determined that the icon 3 in the menu window 1F for which the fixed-size assignment has been completed has been started, but the loading plan has not been started, but the transportation plan must be made before the processing is completed. I must.

  Therefore, by further dragging and dropping the icon 3 existing in the menu window 1F for which the fixed-size assignment has been completed to the menu window 1H for creating the loading book, the processing transfer means is moved to the menu window 1F for which the fixed-size assignment has been completed. The existing icon 3 is deleted, the status flag of the work item is updated (see FIG. 8B), and a color (gray etc.) indicating that the processing in the phase is incomplete in the loading window creation menu window 1H. ) Icon 3 is newly added.

  In this case, an icon 3 indicating a waiting for processing (light blue, etc.) existing in the menu window 1F for which the fixed-size assignment has been completed is moved to the menu window 1H for creating a loading book earlier than the menu window 1G for the processing assignment. In this case, the icon 3 existing in the menu window 1F for which the fixed-size assignment has been completed is changed to a color (green, etc.) indicating that the processing field has not been started on the spot, A new icon 3 having a color (gray etc.) indicating that the processing in the phase is not completed is added to the loading window creation menu window 1H.

  In the case of this example, the line allocation program is activated by double-clicking the processing target icon 3 displayed in the processing allocation menu window 1G, and the processing line displayed on the processing form displayed by the function of the input support means is used. If the content of the assignment is edited / modified / confirmed by the function of the line assigning means and approved, the process transfer means automatically moves the approved work item icon 3 to the processing-assigned menu window 1I. The line allocating means that functions by the operation of the processing program (machining allocation program) creates a processing line allocation plan. The approval may take the form of clicking a switch provided in a processing form (not shown), or after editing and closing the processing form, the work item icon 3 is processed and assigned to the menu window. You may take the form of artificially dragging and dropping to 1I.

  Next, when the work item icon 3 is dragged and dropped from the processing-assigned menu window 1I to the pictorially printed menu window 1J, the process transfer means operates the pictorial mark printing program to make the pictorial mark printing means function. The pictorial mark print data of the work item is output to a printing device such as a printer. Regarding the pictogram printing process, even after the pictogram has been printed, the icon 3 that has been dragged and dropped indicates that the process has not been completed (until a stacking plan is established in the stacking field process) It remains displayed in gray.

  Therefore, the loading book creation program for operating the loading book creation means is activated by double-clicking the icon 3 to be processed displayed in the menu window 1H for creating the loading book and displayed by the function of the input support means. If the contents of the loading book are edited / modified / confirmed on the processing form and the approval is made, the process transfer means automatically moves the approved work item icon 3 to the menu window 1M where the loading book has been created. It should be noted that the editing content is also automatically approved by an operation of manually dragging and dropping the work item icon 3 onto the menu window 1M on which the loading book has been created.

  Similarly to the case where the loading book creation means is made to function, a loading instruction book printing means which functions by operating the loading instruction program by double-clicking the icon 3 to be processed displayed in the menu window 1M where the loading book has been created. When functioning, editing, correcting and confirming the contents of the stacking instruction on the processing form displayed by the function of the input support means, and performing the approval, the stacking instruction printing means prints the work item on the printing device such as a printer. Outputs the stacking instruction print data.

  By outputting the loading instruction print data, the work item loading plan has been established, and the loading instruction printing means changes the status flag of the work item. The processing transition means detects the change of the status flag and completes the processing of the icon 3 displayed in the menu window 1J printed with a pictogram displayed in a color (gray etc.) indicating that the processing is not completed. Change the color to the one shown (green, etc.).

  Finally, the icon 3 displayed in the menu window 1J on which the pictogram has been printed is dragged and dropped onto the menu window 1K that has been instructed to be processed, and the processing is the same as in the case where the loading book creation unit functions. Double-click icon 3 to activate the processing instruction printing means that works by running the processing instruction creation program, and edit, correct, and confirm the contents of the loading instruction in the processing form displayed by the function of the input support means Upon approval, the processing instruction print unit outputs the processing instruction print data of the work item to a printing device such as a printer.

  As described above, according to the function of the process transition means according to the example, even when branching from a single processing route to a plurality of processing routes, the state flag in each processing phase is referred to and the state flag is constant. By providing flag management means for permitting the transition to the processing of the next phase when in the status, it is possible to form a synchronized state in consideration of the convenience of work in the processing in these different processing fields.

  In this way, the processing transition means is sequentially interposed, and the processing program assigned to the processing command is applied through the processing by the content management means for determining whether or not the data of the work item satisfies the essential items. The output results are recorded in the individual fields determined according to each processing program without duplication, and the display of the work item is displayed from the menu window 1 of the current phase to the menu window 1 of the next phase while storing them in the database. As a result, a data file that is a set of data for each work item is formed.

Also, schedule management in each processing phase is important in a series of processing sequences.
The schedule management means accepts a given delivery date, assigns a process transition deadline in the menu window 1 of each processing phase according to the delivery date, and notifies a message (in the following example, a label in the following example) 4) is added to the display of the work item.

  The process transition deadline for each processing phase is assigned by inputting the time required for completion of each processing phase in the deadline input form (see FIG. 12) 9 read from the database by the input support means when the schedule management means functions. Is done. The input required time data is recorded in the data field assigned to each processing phase of the memory, and the schedule management means completes each processing phase from the import date included in the work item profile and the required time data. The deadline (phase completion deadline) is calculated and recorded in the data field assigned to each processing phase of the memory.

  The computer on which the process transfer program is operated functions as a process transfer means, and displays the main menu 2 read from the database as described above on the display device. At this time, each icon 3 displayed in each process phase is displayed. The data of the work item corresponding to each is acquired, and the required time data until the current state flag in each processing phase becomes the target state flag is acquired. Add the time D indicated by the required time data to the current date and time, and if the result is before the date and time that is the phase completion deadline, the label 4 of the icon 3 with a color (such as black) indicating that the progress has been made normally When the date and time that is the deadline for completion of the phase has elapsed, the label 4 of the icon 3 is displayed in a color (red or the like) indicating that the progress is delayed.

  The above example is configured as an information processing system composed of a network server 5 and information processing devices as a plurality of terminal devices 6 connected to the network server 5 via an information network, and is divided in different offices for each processing phase. It is also possible to do this (see FIGS. 4 and 14).

  The network server 5 in this example includes a database (hereinafter, referred to as a server database) in which a plurality of work item data is recorded, and the database is a terminal limited to a wide area information network such as the Internet or a local area network. A communication device connected to the device is provided.

  On the other hand, the terminal device 6 in the example includes a processing program used for various processes, and a database (hereinafter referred to as a terminal database) in which a plurality of various data including a data table such as a form and an arrangement rule table are recorded. A series of communication means connected to the server database for reading existing data and writing new data relating to the work item, and receiving the work item and outputting the result. The menu window 1 of a plurality of processing phases and the main menu 2 in which identifiers of the work items are collectively displayed are displayed in accordance with the processing sequence, and the work item is selected in the menu window 1 of the current phase in the main menu 2 Work item A process transfer means for applying a processing program assigned to the processing command and transferring the identifier of the work item from the menu window 1 of the current phase to the menu window 1 of the next phase. An information processing apparatus provided.

  That is, each terminal device 6 in this example includes a plurality of terminals that store data related to work items among data stored in the database of the embodiment of the isolated information processing device described above in the database of the network server. Existing as the shared data of the device, and connected to the server database according to the operation of various processing programs in the configuration of the embodiment of the information processing device described above, the existing information relating to the work item to be processed A communication means for reading data and writing new data is provided.

  By the operation of the information processing program held by the terminal device 6, the main menu 2 is read from the terminal database of the terminal device and displayed on the display device of the terminal device.

  The process transition means that operates in each process phase is generated when a work item is selected in the menu window 1 of the current phase displayed in the main menu 2 and a drag-and-drop operation or a double-click operation is performed on the work item. In response to a processing command, the processing migration program runs on the computer to function (see FIG. 6).

  First, an index linked to the target icon 3 of the processing commander existing at the drag start position is transmitted to the network server 5 through the communication means, and the target icon 3 is used as an identification code from the server database. Get item data. Subsequently, the flag management means performs a flag check to determine whether or not the item is a movable item that satisfies the essential items for executing the processing command with reference to the status flag of the work item included in the data. .

  If it is determined that the work item satisfies the required items, it is checked whether or not another user is using it. If not, the icon 3 is linked to the dropped menu window 1. The processing program in the processing phase is acquired from the index of the terminal database, and the input support program is operated to cause the computer to function as the input support means. The input support means reads information assigned to the processing program and an input support form for prompting the input of the command from the terminal database, and outputs them to the display device of the terminal device. These forms are appropriately provided with editing means for the user to perform editing operations, and data is edited, modified, confirmed, and approved by using them.

  Data input to the computer using the editing means is recorded in each field of the memory indicated by an index defined as a storage location of various input items and processing results by the processing program. When a processing command to end the editing operation by the drop operation is received from the user, first, the essential items are inspected, and if the essential items to be given in the processing phase are not satisfied, the memory is stored in the memory. The recorded data is stored in the area assigned to the work item in the server database through the communication means (for example, the position according to the data content of the area acquired previously), and a series of processing by the processing transition means Exit.

  As described above, each processing in the embodiment is such that the reading and writing of the data of the work item with respect to the database is performed via the communication means of the terminal device 6 connected to the information network and the communication device of the network server 5. Unlike the embodiment described above, the input support means, the work item registration means, the content management means, and the processing book creation means that function by executing the processing program to be applied in each processing phase, Processing unit creation means, standard assignment means, line assignment means, loading book creation means, pictogram printing means, loading instruction print printing means, processing instruction creation means, and the processing transition means and schedule management means first It is performed via the information network as in the embodiment described.

  When various processes are performed through the information processing network as described above, it may be necessary to identify an operator who is permitted to perform work in each processing phase. In other words, if everyone who can access the information processing network is given the right to work uniformly and equally, appropriate processing based on the appropriateness, experience, qualifications, or authority of each person cannot be achieved. Cheap.

  Therefore, the information processing system according to this example causes the terminal device 6 as a computer to use a plurality of processing phase use restriction setting windows 21 in accordance with a series of processing sequences from reception of work items to output of results, and each processing phase. The use restriction menu 20 for each user that displays the use restriction items read from the network server 5 at once is displayed, and the use based on the setting command given to the use restriction setting window 21 of each phase in the use restriction menu 20. User management means for registering setting items in the server database through the information network, and the range of permitted work categories in the permitted processing phase based on the usage restrictions for each user set by the user management means. Within the processing transition Commander determining means for activating a process commander for a stage, whether or not the person has permission to use the information processing system, and whether or not the user can operate the user management means itself By providing the authentication means, the work quality in each processing phase is improved for the work from the processing request of the reinforcing bar to the delivery of the processed reinforcing bar (see FIG. 13).

  The user management means of the example is one in which a user management program recorded in the storage device of the terminal device 6 is selectively operated by receiving a processing command through the input device of the terminal device 6 and functions. It is. When the user management program is activated, the authentication means functions according to the authentication program, and an authentication form that prompts the user who wants to perform the user management work to input his / her own identifier, personal identification number, etc. from the terminal database. It is read by the function of the input support means and output to the display device.

  In this way, in the terminal database of the information processing system to which the user management function is added, a plurality of forms that are read to perform input support when the terminal device functions as the user management unit are stored, In the server database of the information processing system to which the user management function is added, a plurality of data tables relating to registered users and fields of data to be recorded in each of them are formed.

  Examples of the data table related to the registered user include a data table related to personal information and a data table related to usage restrictions of the information processing system. The data table is provided with a field for recording data of each table. For example, personal information data including a personal identifier, a password, and the like is recorded in the data table related to the personal information. In the table, use restriction setting data indicating restriction items of work categories when using the information processing system such as new creation, browsing, or editing is recorded (see FIG. 15).

  The authentication means connects to the server database of the network server via the communication means of the terminal device 6, the information network, and the communication device of the network server, and the management form entered in the authentication form by the input device of the terminal device 6 The authentication data including the user identifier and password is collated with personal information data registered in advance in the data table related to the personal information in the server database. When it is determined that the authentication data of the management user matches the content of the personal information data, the user management means further causes the input support means to function, and a label corresponding to the managed user registered in advance The form of the managed user selection menu displayed so that icons can be listed is read from the database and displayed.

  The user management means receives a selection command of a click operation by the management user for the icon corresponding to a desired managed user, causes the input support means to function, and forms the use restriction menu 20 relating to the selected managed user Is read from the terminal database, and the use restriction setting data related to the managed user selected from the use restriction data table of the server database is read through the information network as described above, and the contents are read on the form of the use restriction menu 20 as described later. It is reflected and output to the display device (see FIG. 13).

  The use restriction menu 20 includes a work book reception management menu including two use restriction setting windows 21A and 21B for accepting a work book and completing a work book, and creating a work book, creating a processing unit, and assigning a standard. , And a processing book creation management menu composed of four usage restriction setting windows 21C, 21D, 21E, and 21F for completion of standard assignment, and a processing assignment management menu and a loading book creation management having one usage restriction setting window 21G and 21H, respectively. Menu, processing management menu consisting of four usage restriction setting windows 21I, 21J, 21K, and 21L of processing assigned, pictogram printed, processing instructed, and processing completed, loading document created, loading instructed, loading Loaded and shipped tube consisting of four use restriction setting windows 21M, 21N, 21O, and 21P for completion and delivery completion A menu is provided for each managed user as a use restriction menu for each processing phase in accordance with a series of processing sequences from reception of work items to output of results. In the use restriction setting window 21 for each processing phase, Depending on the work performed in each processing phase, a list of check boxes 22 for setting restriction items (or permission matters) of the work category when using the information processing system, such as new creation, browsing, or editing, is displayed in a list. ing.

  The user management means functions by operating a user management program, and while interposing the function of the input support means, the restriction items of the work category when using the information processing system of a desired managed user, For example, the setting command generated when the user clicks the check box 22 displayed in the use restriction setting window 21 of each processing phase is accepted, and the contents of the command are stored in the server database as the use restriction setting data. It records through an information network in the data field which the index linked to each check box of the data table regarding the use restrictions provided.

  It should be noted that the managed user is registered by the user clicking the new registration icon on the form of the managed user selection menu read by the management user giving the predetermined processing command to the user management means. It becomes possible when the terminal device 6 receives the registration command generated in the above. The terminal device 6 operates the managed user registration program in response to the registration command, and the managed user registration unit that functions thereby reads out a new registration form from the terminal database and manages it by using the function of the input support unit While receiving various personal information including the identifier of the managed user entered in the input box of the form by the user's input operation and a password, etc., the contents are stored in each data table related to the personal information of the server database. Register through the information network to the data field pointed to by the index linked to the input box.

  In a series of processes from the reception of the work item to the output of the result, for example, in the processing book creation management menu 21C of the use restriction menu shown in FIG. 13, check boxes for new creation, browsing, and editing are prepared. In this example, all the check boxes are checked as usage restrictions for each user set by the user management means. In this case, in the process book creation process, the command determination means determines the work category with the check as a range of work permitted in the process phase, and for new creation, browsing, and editing work, The process command for the process transfer means is activated (see FIGS. 16 to 18).

  In this way, when the determination process by the command determination unit is added, the information processing program in the terminal device first authenticates the managed user by the function of the authentication unit generated by the operation of the authentication program. At that time, as in the case of the authentication of the management user, the authentication means collates the data entered in the authentication form with the personal information data previously registered in the data table related to the personal information through the information network. When it is determined that they match, the input support means is further operated to read out the form of the main menu 2 from the terminal database, and the data relating to the items in the processing process of each processing phase is transmitted to the server through the information network. The data is read from the database, and the icons 3 and labels 4 as identifiers thereof are displayed as a list on the display device.

  Therefore, when the user clicks or drags and drops the icon 3 of the desired work item existing in the processing book creation menu 21C as described above, first, the command determining means first stores the data table related to the use restriction. Read the use restriction setting data indicating the work category restrictions when using the information processing system, such as new creation, browsing, or editing, from the data field assigned to the managed user who has been authenticated, through the information network, and From the use restriction setting data, the use restriction setting data of the data field linked to the display of the processing book creation menu 21C including the position clicked by the managed user or the dragging start position is acquired, and the use restriction setting is obtained. Refer to the data as a permission flag In addition, the approval / disapproval of the processing command to the processing transition means given by the managed user is interposed every time the work category in each processing phase is changed, and only the work whose check box is checked is authenticated. The process of permitting the managed user who has finished the process is realized.
