The member management DB 12 is a database that manages user IDs and passwords of regular members.
When the login processing unit 13 receives access from the user terminals 1 to 3, the login processing unit 13 transmits a user ID and password input request to the user terminals 1 to 3, and receives the user ID and password from the user terminals 1 to 3. And the user ID managed in the member management DB 12 are checked to determine whether or not the access request source is a regular member. If the access request source is a regular member, a process of permitting login is performed.

The screen data management DB 14 is a database that manages screen data and the like of an email creation screen provided with a project number input field.
When the screen transmission unit 15 receives a mail creation screen display request from the user terminal 1 permitted to log in by the login processing unit 13, for example, the screen creation unit 15 manages the mail creation screen managed in the screen data management DB 14 via the network I / F 11. Are transmitted to the user terminal 1. The screen data management DB 14 and the screen transmission unit 15 constitute screen transmission means.

The project management DB 16 is a database that manages the project number of the project and the tasks of each project. The project management DB constitutes project number management means.
The mail receiving unit 17 is composed of a modem, for example, and receives mail transmitted from the user terminal 1 via the network I / F 11. The mail receiving unit 17 constitutes mail receiving means.

When the project number is described in the title of the email received by the email receiving unit 17, the email classification unit 18 refers to the management content of the project management DB 16 and identifies the project corresponding to the project number, The mail is classified into the project, and the mail is stored in the project mailbox.
The mail storage unit 19 is composed of a mailbox for each project, and stores mail for each project. The mail classification unit 18 and the mail storage unit 19 constitute mail classification means.

For example, the project number receiving unit 20 performs a process of receiving a project number from the user terminal 2 permitted to log in by the login processing unit 13. The project number receiving unit 20 constitutes a project number receiving unit.
The mail transmission unit 21 is composed of, for example, a modem, and refers to the management contents of the project management DB 16 to identify the project corresponding to the project number received by the project number reception unit 20 and through the network I / F 11. Then, processing such as transmitting the title of the mail stored in the mailbox of the project to the user terminal 2 is performed. In addition, the mail transmission part 21 comprises the mail transmission means.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the mail management apparatus 5 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the operation will be described.
First, an operation when the user A desires to send mail will be described.
When the user A wishes to transmit a mail related to a certain project, the user terminal 1 is operated to access the mail management apparatus 5.
Upon receiving access from the user terminal 1, the login processing unit 13 of the mail management device 5 transmits a user ID and password input request to the user terminal 1.
As a result, a message prompting the user ID and password to be input is displayed on the display of the user terminal 1.

When the user A operates the user terminal 1 and inputs his / her user ID and password, the user terminal 1 transmits the user ID and password to the mail management apparatus 5.
When the network I / F 11 receives the user ID and password transmitted from the user terminal 1 (step ST1), the login management unit 13 of the mail management device 5 stores the user ID and password of the regular member in the member management DB 12. Since it is managed, the authentication process which collates the user ID etc. which were transmitted from the user terminal 1 with the user ID etc. which are managed by member management DB12 is implemented (step ST2).
If the user ID and password pair that matches the user ID and password pair transmitted from the user terminal 1 is stored in the member management DB 12, the login processing unit 13 determines that the user A who is the access request source is a legitimate member. And login is permitted (step ST3).

In the first embodiment, the following description will be given on the assumption that user A is authorized as a regular member and login is permitted. However, login is not permitted because user A is not authorized as a regular member. In this case, the user terminal 1 cannot receive screen data or the like of the mail creation screen shown below.
In the first embodiment, the login processing unit 13 prompts the user ID and password when the login process is performed. However, the member management DB 12 specifies an individual such as a fingerprint of a legitimate member. When unique information is managed, the user may be prompted to input a fingerprint or the like.

When the login processing unit 13 permits the user terminal 1 to log in as described above, the screen transmission unit 15 of the mail management device 5 accepts a display request for a mail creation screen or a task management screen from the screen data management DB 14. The screen data of the menu screen is acquired, and the screen data of the menu screen is transmitted to the user terminal 1 via the network I / F 11 (step ST4).
Thereby, a menu screen is displayed on the display of the user terminal 1.

When the user A operates the user terminal 1 to select, for example, a mail creation screen display request, the user terminal 1 transmits a mail creation screen display request to the mail management device 5.
When the network I / F 11 receives the mail creation screen display request transmitted from the user terminal 1 (step ST5), the screen transmission unit 15 of the mail management apparatus 5 acquires the screen data of the mail creation screen from the screen data management DB 14. Then, the screen data of the mail creation screen is transmitted to the user terminal 1 via the network I / F 11 (step ST6).
As a result, a mail creation screen as shown in FIG. 5 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the mail creation screen has a hierarchy of outgoing mail titles, and the titles are composed of major classification, middle classification, and minor classification.
In the example of FIG. 5, a selection list is prepared for the major classification and middle classification of titles, and when “▽” is clicked in the figure, selectable items are displayed.
For example, <emergency>, <meeting>, <development>, and the like are prepared as selection items for the major classification of titles.
As the selection item for the middle classification of the title, if the major classification is <emergency>, for example, a scheduled date for stopping the server is prepared.
Further, if the major classification is <conference>, for example, a scheduled date for holding the conference is prepared.
If the major classification is <development>, for example, a scheduled date for starting development is prepared.

In the example of FIG. 5, the small classification of the title adopts an input format that is freely input by the user. For example, if the major classification is <Emergency>, the “Shutdown Server” field is displayed in the minor classification input field. “Notification” and “Building Power Failure Notification” are entered. If the major category is <conference>, generally, “meeting name” or the like is entered in the minor category input field.
In addition, the title is provided with a project number input field, and a project number selection list is prepared.
The project number listed in the selection list is the number of the project with which user A is involved.
In addition, since the user ID of the person in charge related to each project is managed by the project management DB 16 (see FIG. 4), the screen management unit 16 uses the user ID transmitted from the user terminal 1 as a key by the screen transmission unit 15. The project number of the project with which user A is involved is acquired, and the project number is placed in the selection list.

When user A operates the user terminal 1 and inputs the major classification, middle classification, minor classification, and project number of the title, and inputs the body of the email, and then clicks “Send” on the email creation screen, the user The terminal 1 transmits the title of the mail and the input content of the text to the mail management apparatus 5.
Here, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that <conference> is selected as the major category of the title, and the scheduled date “05/03/01” of the conference is selected as the middle category. Further, it is assumed that “development meeting” is input as the meeting name in the small classification input field, and “A0123” is selected as the project number.

As described above, when the user terminal 1 transmits the input contents of the title and text of the mail, the mail receiving unit 17 of the mail management device 5 receives the input contents of the mail title and text via the network I / F 11. Receive. When the file name of the attached file is input by the user A in the input field for the attached file, the attached file is also transmitted from the user terminal 1, and the attached file is received.
When the mail receiving unit 17 receives the mail title and text input content transmitted from the user terminal 1 (step ST7), the mail classification unit 18 of the mail management device 5 receives the project number included in the mail title. Is acquired (step ST8).
Then, the mail classification unit 18 refers to the management contents of the project management DB 16 and identifies the project corresponding to the project number, thereby classifying the mail into the project, and the mail is stored in the mailbox of the project. Store (step ST9).
In this example, since the project number is “A0123”, the mail is stored in the mailbox of the project for program development.

Next, an operation in the case where the user B wishes to confirm an email related to a project for program development will be described.
When the user B wishes to confirm the mail related to the project for program development, the user B is operated to access the mail management apparatus 5.
When receiving the access from the user terminal 2, the login processing unit 13 of the mail management device 5 transmits a user ID and password input request to the user terminal 2.
As a result, a message prompting the user ID and password to be input is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2.

When the user B operates the user terminal 2 and inputs his / her user ID and password, the user terminal 2 transmits the user ID and password to the mail management apparatus 5.
When the network I / F 11 receives the user ID and password transmitted from the user terminal 2 (step ST1), the login processing unit 13 of the mail management apparatus 5 transmits the user ID transmitted from the user terminal 1 to the member management DB 12. An authentication process for collating with a managed user ID or the like is performed (step ST2).

If the user ID and password pair that matches the user ID and password pair transmitted from the user terminal 2 is stored in the member management DB 12, the login processing unit 13 determines that the user B who is the access request source is a legitimate member. And login is permitted (step ST3).
In the first embodiment, the following description will be given on the assumption that user B is authorized as a regular member and login is permitted. However, login is not permitted because user B is not authorized as a regular member. In this case, the user terminal 2 cannot confirm the received mail as shown below.

When the login processing unit 13 permits the user terminal 2 to log in as described above, the screen transmission unit 15 of the mail management device 5 accepts a display request for a mail creation screen or a task management screen from the screen data management DB 14. The screen data of the menu screen is acquired, and the screen data of the menu screen is transmitted to the user terminal 2 via the network I / F 11 (step ST4).
Thereby, a menu screen is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2.

When the user B operates the user terminal 2 to select a task management screen display request, the user terminal 2 transmits a task management screen display request to the mail management device 5.
When the network I / F 11 receives the task management screen display request transmitted from the user terminal 2 (steps ST5 and ST10), the screen transmission unit 15 of the mail management device 5 receives the screen data of the task management screen from the screen data management DB 14. And the screen data of the task management screen is transmitted to the user terminal 2 via the network I / F 11 (step ST11).
Thereby, a task management screen as shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2. However, since the project number is not specified at this stage, the project task and mail contents are not displayed.

When the user B operates the user terminal 2 and selects “A0123”, which is the project number of the project to be developed, from the project number selection list, the user terminal 2 sets the project number “A0123” as the mail management device. Send to 5.
When the user terminal 2 transmits the project number “A0123”, the project number receiving unit 20 of the mail management apparatus 5 receives the project number “A0123” transmitted from the user terminal 2 via the network I / F 11 (Step S <b> 0123). ST12).

When the project number receiving unit 20 receives the project number “A0123”, the mail transmitting unit 21 of the mail management apparatus 5 refers to the management content of the project management DB 16 and corresponds to the project (program development) corresponding to the project number “A0123”. And the mail stored in the mailbox of the project is acquired (step ST13).
Then, the mail transmitting unit 21 confirms the task of the project for which the program is developed from the project management DB 16, and performs a process of writing the title of the mail in the task list (step ST14).
That is, <conference> which is the major classification of the title and the conference name “development meeting” which is the minor classification are written in the task name column of the list, and the scheduled date of the meeting which is the middle classification of the title “05/03”. / 01 "is written in the scheduled date column of the list.

FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a list of tasks displayed on the task management screen, but in the example of FIG. 7, a mail with a task name “[conference] development meeting” is used as a mail related to a project for program development. And an email with a task name of “[Emergency] blackout” is included in the list.
The task names “program development”, “specification reading”, and “specification creation” are tasks related to a project for program development, not mail.
When the mail transmission unit 21 of the mail management device 5 completes the process of writing the title of the mail in the task list, the task list is transmitted to the user terminal 2 via the network I / F 11 (step ST15). .

Accordingly, a task management screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display of the user terminal 2.
Note that when the user B operates the user terminal 2 and clicks, for example, “[Conference] Development Meeting”, the text of the mail of “[Conference] Development Meeting” is displayed.

As is apparent from the above, according to the first embodiment, when the project number is described in the title of the mail received by the mail receiving unit 17, the project contents are referred to by referring to the management contents of the project management DB 16. The project corresponding to the number is specified, the mail classification unit 18 for classifying the mail into the project is provided, and when the project number transmitted from the user terminal 2 is received, the management contents of the project management DB 16 are referred to, and the project The project corresponding to the number is specified, and the mail classification unit 18 is configured to send the title of the mail classified as the project to the user terminal 2, so that only the mail related to the designated project is surely confirmed. Increase the work efficiency of the project It is an effect that can.
