Description

  The present invention is connected to a database server having a search target database, receives a search condition input, causes the database server to execute a search and receives a search result, and has a search target database and is connected to a communication line. Search that is executed in an information processing device that is connected to the same communication line as the database server that executes the program, receives the search condition, receives the search condition, and receives the search result. The present invention relates to a search program that operates as a device.

  In recent years, for example, in systems for managing sales of retail stores and electronic medical records / medical accounting systems installed in hospitals, etc., various information is stored in a database and necessary from that database as necessary. Information is retrieved and retrieved. In these systems, the information stored in the database is enlarged daily, the search items used for the search are various, and the screen for inputting the search condition and the search logic are becoming more complicated.

  As a search condition input screen in such a system, it is simply possible to present a search condition input screen in which all search items are arranged, and perform a search by putting the search condition on the search condition input screen.

  However, if there are too many search items, the search condition input screen will contain many search items that are not necessary for the search you are trying to perform, and you can simply search for the required search items from the search condition input screen. There is a risk that the system will become difficult and difficult to see and use.

  In order to solve this problem, it has been proposed to display on the search condition input screen only search items that may be used in accordance with the user and the duties of the user (see Patent Document 1).

If this technique is applied, usability is greatly improved for the user rather than presenting a search condition input screen in which all search items are arranged regardless of the user or his / her duties.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-245160

  For example, consider a system having a search item that specifies a ward and searches for hospitalized patients in that ward.

  In this case, a column for inputting a ward name is provided on the search condition input screen. This is fine for large hospitals where there are many wards and patients are admitted to any ward at all times, but it is inconvenient to enter the name of a ward in a hospital with only one ward. is there. In addition, this is a problem that occurs even in one hospital, and there are many inpatients. When patients are admitted to two or more wards, it is necessary to enter the ward name. When the patient is hospitalized in only one building, it is inconvenient to enter the name of the ward.

  In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a search device and a search program that present a search input screen that is easier to use than conventional ones.

The search device of the present invention that achieves the above object is a search device that is connected to a database server having a search target database, receives a search condition, and causes the database server to execute a search and receive a search result.

A screen parts library that stores multiple types of screen parts for configuring the condition input screen,
When multiple types of screen parts can be selected for the input of search conditions for the same search item, select a different screen part from the multiple types of screen parts according to a predetermined selection condition and assemble a condition input screen And a screen assembly unit.

  The search device according to the present invention assembles a condition input screen by selecting different screen components according to a selection condition from the plurality of types of screen components when there are a plurality of selectable screen components for the same search item. Therefore, even for the same search item, a condition input screen in which an appropriate screen component is selected according to the selection condition is assembled, and a condition input screen that is easy to see and use can be presented.

  Here, in the search device of the present invention, an input frequency management unit for managing the input frequency of the search condition to the condition input screen displayed on the display for each screen component associated with each search item, When there are multiple screen parts that can be selected for the same search item, the above screen assembly unit is the most frequent screen part among the input frequencies of the search conditions for each of the multiple screen parts. It is preferable that the condition input screen is assembled by selecting.

  As described above, when the selection condition of selecting the most frequent screen component is adopted as the selection condition for selecting the screen component, a condition input screen that is statistically easiest to use is assembled.

  However, even in this case, when there are a plurality of screen parts that can be selected for the same search item, the screen assembly unit selects the most frequent screen part, assembles the condition input screen, and displays it on the display. At the same time, it accepts change instructions for replacement screen parts that can be replaced with the most frequent screen parts, and when there is a change instruction, assembles a condition input screen that replaces the frequent screen parts with replacement screen parts and displays them on the display. At the same time, when a new condition input screen is assembled next time, the replacement screen component is preferably selected.

  When there is a change instruction, it is an indication that the screen part after the change is easier to use. The screen part of the search item on the condition input screen is changed to the one after the change, and a new condition is added next time. When assembling the input screen, it is possible to provide a condition input screen that is easier to use by assembling the condition input screen in which the changed one is selected.

  In the search device of the present invention, when there are a plurality of screen parts that can be selected for the same search item, the screen assembly unit investigates the number of options as a search condition for the search item, and the option It is also a preferred form that a condition input screen is assembled by selecting screen components according to the number of items.

  Appropriate screen components may differ depending on the number of options, and it is possible to provide a condition input screen that is easy to see and use by selecting the appropriate screen components according to the number of options using the number of options as a selection condition. it can.

  Further, in the search device according to the present invention, the screen assembly unit obtains a priority on the array for each screen part to be arranged when arranging the screen parts for entering the search conditions for each of the plurality of search items. It is preferable that the screen components are arranged in descending order.

  In this case, the screen assembly unit includes an input frequency management unit that manages the input frequency of the search condition on the condition input screen displayed on the display for each screen component associated with each search item. Preferably, the priority is obtained based on a predetermined weighting factor for each search item and the input frequency of the screen components constituting the condition input screen for each search item.

  The display order of the screen parts is also related to ease of viewing and ease of use. Therefore, by selecting a screen component according to the selection condition and arranging the selected screen component in descending order of priority on the layout obtained based on the weighting factor and the input frequency, for example, it is easier to see and use. A condition input screen can be presented.

  FIG. 3 is an overall schematic diagram of a search system using the server / client system shown in FIG.

  In the following description, the computer 100 is taken up as a search device, but the same applies to the other computers 200 and 300 as search devices.

  A screen configuration program 10 is installed in the computer 100. In the computer 100, an input frequency file 11, a screen configuration file 12, a user master 13, an inpatient statistical information 14, a registry, which will be described later, are provided. 15. When the screen component library 16 is constructed and the screen configuration program 10 is executed in the computer 100, the computer 100 operates as a search device. The screen configuration program 10 is executed in the computer 100 and constructed in the computer 100. The condition input screen 17 is generated while referring to various files 11 to 16. When a user sets an input value on the condition input screen 17, that is, when a search condition is input and a search execution instruction is given, first, maintenance of the input frequency recorded in the input frequency file 11 is performed. At the same time, the input value is notified to the computer 400 operating as the database server, and a search is requested.

  The search engine 20 is installed in the database server (computer 400). Upon receiving a search request accompanied by notification of an input value, the search engine 20 receives various patient information 21 in the database according to the input value. For example, the hospitalization information, accounting information, patient information, etc. are searched, the detection result corresponding to the input value is obtained, and the output work 22 is created.

  The output work 22 can be referred to and edited by a search device (here, the computer 100) as a search request source, and an output result after the editing can be obtained.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of the user master.

  Here, for each record (one horizontal line), “user ID”, “user name”, “user type”, and “ward number” are recorded as a set. However, “Ward No.” is information required when “User Type” is “BYOUTOU”, and when “User Type” is other than “BYOUTOU”, the “Ward No.” column is blank. It has become.

  In FIG. 4, “ADMIN”, “JIMU”, and “BYOUTOU” are shown as “user type”, which mean an administrator, an office worker, and a nurse in charge of a specific ward, respectively. In the case of “BYOUTOU”, the ward number that identifies the ward that the nurse is in charge of is recorded in the “ward number” column.

  FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the input frequency file.

  Here, for each record (one horizontal line), “user type”, “search item”, “component ID”, “input frequency”, and “logic definition” are recorded as a set. However, “logic definition” is recorded only in the necessary columns.

  The “user type” is as described in the user master of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the “search item” includes “kana name”, “name”, “ward”, “hospital room”, and “transfer amount”. Here, there are two columns for the “user type” being “BYOUTOU” and the “search item” being “ward”, but this is because the “component ID” is different. Details will be described later.

  “Component ID” is an ID for specifying a screen component to be described later. For the “ward” of “BYOUTOU”, “Radio Box” and “Combo Box” are defined as “component ID”, but this is a user with a user type of “BYOUTOU” (specific For the search item of “Ward” on the condition input screen used by the nurse who is in charge of the ward), one of the two screen parts “Radio Box” and “Combo Box” is selected as the screen part This means that one screen component can be used.

  The “input frequency” has the “component ID” presented by the user having the “user type” as the “search item” and for inputting the search condition of the “search item”. This indicates the frequency of entering search conditions on the screen parts and using them for the search. The higher the "input frequency" value, the higher the usage rate of the screen parts associated with the search item. I mean.

  Here, only one type of “Logic Definition” is shown in “Room Edit”. When an attempt is made to place the screen item of the search item corresponding to this field on the condition input screen, the logic (program) specified by “Room Edit” is executed. Details will be described later.

  FIG. 6 shows the data structure of the screen configuration file.

  Here, a set of “user type”, “search item”, and “weighting factor” is recorded for each record (one horizontal line).

  The “weighting factor” indicates that, when a condition input screen for inputting a search condition is displayed, the screen component for inputting the search condition is displayed on the upper side as the value of the weighting factor increases. However, as will be described later, the display order of the screen parts is not determined only by this “weighting coefficient”, and this “weighting coefficient” is multiplied by “input frequency” in the input frequency file shown in FIG. Thus, the priority is obtained, and the display order of the screen components corresponding to the search item is determined according to the priority value.

  FIG. 7 shows the data structure of the registry.

  Here, a set of “user ID”, “search item”, and “component ID” is recorded for each record shown in one horizontal row.

  This registry specifies that, on the condition input screen used by the user having the “user ID”, the screen item having the “component ID” is displayed for the “search item”. For example, for inputting the search condition of the search item of “ward” in the condition input screen when the user whose “user ID” is “002” is used, the “compilation ID” of “Radis Box” is used. The screen parts that you have are used.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of inpatient statistical information.

  Here, a set of “hospital room” and “accumulated number of inpatients” is recorded for each record. Here, in order to include past patients who have already been discharged from the search, the cumulative number of inpatients including the present and the past for each room is recorded.

  This in-patient statistical information is information that is transmitted from the database server every time there is a change and is maintained in the search device (computer 100).

  FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the screen component library.

  Here, as screen parts, (A) text box range specification (component ID: Text Range), (B) date range specification (component ID: Date Range), (C) partial character string search (component ID: Text Field) ), (D) combo box (component ID: Combo Box), and radio button (component ID: Radio Button).

  In the schematic diagram of the radio button, the characters “only ward 101” and “all wards” are examples.

  The text box range designation in (A) is a screen component configured to enter the first character string and the last character string to be searched for therein. For example, when this text box range specification screen part is used to input search conditions for "search item" Kana characters, if you enter "Sato" in the left frame and "Suzuki" in the right frame The range of Kana characters from Sato to Suzuki is searched.

  The date range designation in (B) is a screen component configured to enter the first date and the last date to be searched.

  The partial character string search (C) is a screen component for making a character string having the partial character string a search target by entering the partial character string therein.

  Further, in the combo box (D), a list of options is displayed by clicking the triangle mark shown there. When a desired option in the option list is clicked, the clicked option is displayed in the frame. The option is a screen component that is displayed as a search target.

  Furthermore, the radio button in (E) displays a plurality of options with circles associated with each option, and clicking on the circle of the desired option among the plurality of options displays a black circle in the circle The option with the black circle displayed is a screen component to be searched.

  10 and 11 are diagrams showing examples of condition input screens configured by executing a screen configuration program to be described later.

  Here, FIG. 10 is an example of a condition input screen by the director (user type: ADMIN), and FIG. 11 is an example of a condition input screen by a nurse with a ward (user type: BYOUTOU).

  In the condition input screen by the director shown in FIG. 10, the screen parts for designating the text box range in FIG. 9 (A) are displayed corresponding to the search items “name”, “name”, and “transfer amount”, respectively. Corresponding to the search item “ward”, the screen parts of the combo box in FIG. 9D are displayed. In addition, on the condition input screen, buttons for “end business” and “execute search” are displayed.

  Further, in the condition input screen for the nurse with a ward shown in FIG. 11, the screen parts for designating the text box range of FIG. 9A are displayed corresponding to the search items “name” and “name”, respectively. The screen part of the combo box of FIG. 9D is displayed corresponding to the search item “patient”, and the radio button of FIG. 9E is displayed corresponding to the search item “ward”. . Also, on this condition input screen, as in FIG. 10, buttons for “end of business” and “execute search” are displayed. Further, a “change” button that does not exist on the condition input screen of FIG. Is displayed. The operation of these buttons will be described later.

  Next, a program that operates on the search device (typically the computer 100) will be described.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a business flow (main process).

  When the user of the search device inputs the user's ID, password, etc. and starts up the function as the search device of the computer 100 (operation is started), a condition input screen is first configured. (Step S1). Although details of step S1 will be described later, in step S1, for example, a condition input screen shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 is assembled and displayed on the display screen according to the user.

  Usually, after that, first, in accordance with the operation of the user (step S2), the search condition is input on the condition input screen (step S3). After the search condition is input, the “search” shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. When search execution is instructed by clicking the “execute” button (step S4), search processing is performed and the search result is stored in the output work (step S5). Then, the output result 18 is obtained by referring to and editing the search result stored in the output work.

  The condition input screens illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11 are continuously displayed on the display screen, and the search operation here is ended by clicking the “end operation” button on the condition input screen.

  Here, when a “change” button (see FIG. 11) exists on the displayed condition input screen at the stage where the condition input screen is displayed on the display screen through step S1, the “change” is displayed. "" Button is clicked (step S7), a screen component change process is executed (step S8). The screen component change process will be described later.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart of the condition input screen configuration shown in step S1 of FIG.

  Here, first, the user master 13 (see FIG. 4) is read, and “user type” and “ward No.” (data exist) corresponding to the current user ID (“user ID”). The data of the “user type” record of the current user in the input frequency file 11 (see FIG. 5) is read (step S12), and the following steps are performed: Loop from S13 to step S15 by the number of search items.

  Step 13 is a display priority determination step.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart of the display priority determination shown in step S13 of FIG.

  Here, among the “weighting factors” defined for each user type and each search item, the processing is currently being executed out of a plurality of search items corresponding to the user type of the current user. The weighting factor of the search item (steps S13 to S15 in FIG. 13 are configured such that processing of one search item is executed at a time and the process is looped by the number of search items as described above). Is acquired (step S131), and the priority is calculated by the priority = weighting coefficient × input frequency for the one search item (step S132).

  In step S14 of the flowchart of the condition input screen configuration of FIG. 13, it is determined whether or not the priority calculated this time is zero (step S14). The zero priority occurs when the “weighting coefficient” in the screen configuration file 12 (see FIG. 6) is zero or the “input frequency” in the input frequency file 11 (see FIG. 5) is zero. When the “priority” is zero, the screen part corresponding to the search item is not displayed on the condition input screen, and therefore step S15 in FIG. 13 is skipped. When it is determined that the priority is positive, the process proceeds to step S15, and screen component determination is performed.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart of the screen component determination shown in step S15 of FIG.

  First, the registry 15 (see FIG. 7) is read (step S151). The registry 15 (FIG. 7) is displayed on the condition input screen used by the user with respect to the search item. The user's intention to display the screen part indicated by the component ID is recorded.

  Therefore, in the registry 15, the search item currently being executed in association with the user ID of the current user (steps S 13 to S 15 in FIG. 13 are set to 1 at a time as described above. It is determined whether or not the designated component ID exists (step S152) with respect to the process of executing one search item and looping it by the number of search items (step S152). Is present, a process of arranging the “change” button (see FIG. 11) horizontally is performed (step S156), and screen component generation (step S156) is performed to adopt the screen component of the designated component ID. Done.

  If it is determined in step S152 that the designated component ID does not exist, the input frequency file 11 (see FIG. 5) read in step S12 of FIG. 13 is referred to, and this time processing is executed on the input frequency file 11 It is determined whether or not there are a plurality of component IDs for the search item being operated (step S153). In the input frequency file shown in FIG. 5, when “user type” is “BYOUTOU” and “search item” is “ward”, the component ID is set to 2 of “Radio Box” and “Combo Box”. There are two component IDs.

  If there is only one component ID in the input frequency file for the search item being processed this time, the component ID is acquired (step S154), screen part generation is executed (step S157), When there are a plurality of component IDs in the input frequency file for the search item, the input frequency corresponding to each of the plurality of component IDs recorded in the input frequency file is referred to, After obtaining a high component ID (step S155) and further performing a process of arranging a “change” button horizontally (step S156), screen component generation is executed (step S157).

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart of screen component generation in step S157 of FIG.

  Here, it is determined whether or not a logic definition corresponding to the current search item exists on the input frequency file (step S1561). In the record specified by “BYOUTOU” and “patient room” on the input frequency file shown in FIG. 5, “Room Edit” exists as a logic definition. For simplicity, only the logic definition “Room Edit” is shown here, but other types of logic definitions may be written on the input frequency file. However, here, only “Room Edit” is taken up in the input frequency file of FIG. 5 and the screen component generation flowchart of FIG.

  When it is determined in step S1561 in FIG. 16 that a logic definition exists and the logic definition is “Room Edit” (step S1562), a Room Edit process is executed (step S1563), and then the screen is displayed. A part call (step S1564) is performed. If “Room Edit” does not exist, step S1563 is skipped, and screen parts are called (step S1564).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart of the hospital room editing process shown in step S1563 of FIG.

  Here, the inpatient statistical information 14 (see FIG. 8) is referred to, a room whose “accumulated number of inpatients” is a predetermined number or more is extracted (step S15631), and whether or not the extracted rooms are two or more rooms. (Step S15632), and when there are two or more extracted rooms, the component ID of the record specified by “BYOUTOU” and “patient” in the input frequency file of FIG. 5 is “Combo Box”. As a rule, the (D) combo box in the screen component library shown in FIG. 9 is used, and the display order in the combo box is arranged in descending order of the cumulative number of inpatients (step S15633). In this display, hospital rooms whose in-patient cumulative number is less than the predetermined number are also arranged in order.

  If it is determined in step S15632 that there is only one room where the cumulative number of hospitalized patients is equal to or greater than the predetermined number, the component ID is changed to “Radio Box” (step S15634).

  FIG. 18 is a conceptual diagram of the processing of steps S15633 and S15634 of FIG.

  FIG. 18A shows the process of step S15633 of FIG. 17, in which a combo box is adopted as a screen component, and hospital room names are arranged in descending order of the cumulative number of hospitalized patients.

  FIG. 18B shows the processing of step S15634 of FIG. 17, and if only the room 201 has a cumulative number of hospitalized patients equal to or greater than the predetermined number, as shown in FIG. 18B. When the user wants to search for a room other than the room 201 in which the screen part is changed to a radio box and the room 201 is displayed in an easily selectable manner, “Do not specify a room” is selected and searched.

  In step S1563 in the flowchart of screen part generation in FIG. 16, the hospital editing process described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18 is executed, and then the screen part call process in step S1564 is executed. If “Room Edit” is not defined for the current search item in the input frequency file (step S1562), step S1563 is skipped and the screen component editing process of step S1564 is executed.

  In the screen component editing process in step S1564, since the component ID of the screen component related to the search item currently processed is acquired in the process so far, the screen component library 16 (see FIG. 9) is referred to. The screen component having the acquired component ID is called.

  In steps S13 to S15 of the condition input screen configuration of FIG. 13, the processing of FIG. 14 to FIG. 17 described above is executed for one search item, and this processing is the “user type” of the current user. It repeats about each search item corresponding to.

  Thereafter, in step S16, the screen parts for each of the plurality of search items performed as described above are arranged in order of priority, and a condition input screen as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 is assembled. The screen is displayed on the display screen.

  This screen component changing process is executed when the user clicks the “change” button in the state where the condition input screen on which the “change” button is displayed is displayed as shown in FIG.

  In this screen component change process, when the input frequency file 11 is referred to and the component ID is related to the same search item, which is different from the currently displayed component ID, and there are a plurality of component IDs. Among these component IDs, the component ID having the highest input frequency is acquired (step S81), the screen component generation process (see FIG. 16) is performed (step S82), and the component ID after the change has the highest priority in the future. Is stored in the registry 15 (see FIG. 7).

  FIG. 20 is a diagram schematically showing the change of the screen parts between the combo box and the radio box. This corresponds to the fact that there are two component IDs “Robox” and “Combo Box” corresponding to “BYOUTOU” and “patient room” in the input frequency file of FIG. 5.

  In FIG. 20, when the “change” button is pressed in the state where the combo box is displayed (A), the display is switched to the display of the radio button of (B), and “change” is performed in the state where the radio button of (B) is displayed. "" Button indicates that the display is switched to the combo box display of (A).

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the search process in step S5 in the main process shown in FIG.

  Here, the search condition input on the condition input screen illustrated in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11 is transmitted to the database server and set in the search engine in the database server (step S51). Patients matching the search conditions are extracted and stored in the output work 22 (step S53). Also, the input frequency in the input frequency file 11 (see FIG. 5) is updated for use in creating the next condition input screen (step S53).

  Thereafter, as shown in step S6 of the main process in FIG. 12, the output result 18 is obtained by referring to and editing the search result stored in the output work.
