Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for executing a questionnaire via a network. In particular, the present invention relates to a technique for presenting predetermined content to a terminal device used by a questionnaire target person via a network and executing a questionnaire for the presented content.

  Conventionally, Patent Documents 1 and 2 are examples of executing a questionnaire via a network. Patent Document 1 describes collecting questionnaire responses electronically returned from a questionnaire target person, totaling the collected questionnaire responses, and presenting the total results.

  Moreover, in patent document 2, it aims at reducing the time, expense, and labor at the time of implementing a questionnaire survey. In order to achieve this purpose, in Patent Document 2, a plurality of clients access to questionnaires held by a server through the Internet, and each client answers a questionnaire and sends the response to the server. Is described. The patent document 2 also describes that the answer data is tabulated.

  However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, only questionnaire questionnaires are disclosed to the questionnaire subjects. For this reason, the questionnaire with respect to the predetermined content has not been realized. For example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 did not consider the implementation of a questionnaire for a content (content) that the target person does not yet know, such as a company policy.

  Further, the correspondence to the recent globalization has not been considered in Patent Documents 1 and 2. In other words, if you are going to do a questionnaire for multiple countries (regions) (or people from multiple countries (regions)), you need to prepare a questionnaire for each language in multiple countries (regions). 1 and 2 are not considered.

  Therefore, in the present invention, the following configuration is adopted in order to solve the above problems. It is configured to store the contents targeted for the questionnaire and the questionnaire answer sheet in association with each other, and to enable access to the questionnaire answer sheet upon detecting that the content is presented on the terminal side.

  It is also possible to store contents and questionnaire response slips in association with each language used, and to make it possible to access the questionnaire response slips (in the language used) corresponding to the content accessed (presented) by the survey subject. Included in the invention. In addition, the present invention includes restricting access to content in a language used according to a questionnaire target person and a questionnaire answer sheet. Of course, the questionnaire response vote includes electronically presented items, and the file format is not limited.

  In more detail, the present invention includes the following aspects.

  In a questionnaire execution system comprising a plurality of terminal devices and a questionnaire execution device for executing a questionnaire for each of the plurality of terminal devices, the questionnaire execution device generates a questionnaire response sheet for receiving contents related to the questionnaire and responses to the questionnaire. The terminal device included in the plurality of terminal devices executes access to the content, the questionnaire execution device detects an access status to the content, and the terminal device , When an access request for the questionnaire response sheet corresponding to the content is transmitted to the questionnaire execution device, and the questionnaire execution device receives the access request, the access to the questionnaire response sheet according to the access status to the content Against When it is determined whether or not the access request can be made, and the questionnaire execution device determines that the access request can be accessed, the questionnaire answer sheet stored in association with the content is presented to the terminal device, and the questionnaire The execution device is a questionnaire execution system that receives a questionnaire response input to the questionnaire response vote via the terminal device.

  Further, in this questionnaire execution system, the storage device stores each of a plurality of contents for each of a plurality of languages used in association with a questionnaire answer sheet in a language used corresponding to the contents, and the questionnaire execution device includes: When an access request for a questionnaire response sheet is received, the access status to the content in the language used in the questionnaire response sheet is determined, and the questionnaire execution device indicates that the determined access status has presented all the content A questionnaire execution system for determining that access to the access request is possible is also included in the present invention.

  Furthermore, in this questionnaire execution system, the questionnaire execution device compares the language used for the content and the language used for the questionnaire response vote to determine the access status to the content in the language used for the questionnaire answer vote. The present invention also includes a questionnaire execution system characterized in that it is determined that access is impossible.

  In the present invention, a questionnaire ID for identifying a questionnaire (answer sheet) and a content ID for identifying a corresponding content (a condition for browsing (or presenting / displaying) for accessing the questionnaire) are predetermined. It is also included in the present invention to determine whether or not access is possible depending on whether or not this predetermined relationship is satisfied. At this time, the predetermined relationship includes that the difference between the questionnaire ID and the corresponding content ID is a constant value. In this specification, the questionnaire ID and the content ID are also expressed as segment IDs.

  The present invention includes a questionnaire execution device, a questionnaire execution method using these, and a computer program for realizing the execution method.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a questionnaire after making the questionnaire subject understand the contents of the questionnaire more deeply.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a system according to the present invention. Reference numeral 1 denotes a questionnaire target person terminal, 3 denotes a questionnaire execution server, and a plurality of questionnaire target person terminals 1 are connected to the questionnaire execution server 3 via a network 2. In the present embodiment, when conducting a questionnaire on a certain theme, there are contents related to the questionnaire and a questionnaire, and the questionnaire target person will be explained by taking a questionnaire format in which the contents are viewed in advance and the questionnaire is answered. When there are multiple contents and questionnaires for one theme questionnaire, each theme is managed as a group.
The questionnaire execution server 3 stores a group management program 31, a content management program 32, a questionnaire survey management program 33, and a survey target person management program. Further, as a database for managing data used in each program, a group management database 35, a content A management database 36, a questionnaire management database 38, and a target person management database are stored.

When conducting various surveys via the network 2 on the survey target terminal 1, after creating the survey execution screen and processing program on the survey execution server 3, use the WWW (web) or e-mail. Instructing the implementation of the questionnaire, the survey target person activates a browser on the terminal 1 side, accesses a predetermined questionnaire site, and conducts the questionnaire.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a configuration of the group management table 211 included in the group management database 35 in FIG. The questionnaire of one theme is managed by one group, and the contents and questionnaire constituting each group are managed as a segment for each group. Each segment includes content and questionnaires in various languages in order to conduct a global questionnaire. The group management table 211 includes a group title and title ID, a segment constituting the group, a segment type for identifying whether each segment is a content or a questionnaire, a language ID for identifying a language of the segment, and a survey target person for each segment. It has implementation prerequisites as data items to enable execution. In FIG. 2, as an example of each data of the group management table 211, a configuration is shown in which the general affairs department of a certain company conducts an employee awareness survey in three countries: Japan, Thailand, and Chinese. It is assumed that the survey target person reads in advance the designated content (for example, materials related to company benefits) before answering the questionnaire. In the group management table 211, the group with the group title “Employee awareness survey” is composed of 6 segments: Japanese, Thai, and Chinese content and questionnaires. It shows that the implementation status of the language content is 100%.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration of the target person management table 311 included in the target person management database 38 in FIG. The target person management table 311 is a table for managing which group of questionnaires each questionnaire target person needs to carry out, and for each target group, a questionnaire of the theme group is executed for each group title ID. Manage whether you need it. In the present embodiment, the term “group” refers to a concept for identifying a group corresponding to the contents of a questionnaire (answer sheet) and content accompanying it.

  4 and 5 are a segment ID configuration 411 and a progress management table 511 for managing the questionnaire implementation status of each questionnaire target person. The survey implementation status of each survey target person is managed for each segment. The segment ID 411 includes a group title ID to which the segment belongs, a segment type ID, and a language ID. The progress management table 511 is a table for managing the contents of each segment ID or the status of the questionnaire for each questionnaire target person.

  FIG. 6 shows a processing flow of the questionnaire target person terminal 1 and the questionnaire execution server 3 when the questionnaire target person accesses the questionnaire execution server 3 via the network 2 and conducts the questionnaire.

  First, the questionnaire execution server 3 displays the portal screen of the questionnaire system on the questionnaire target person terminal 1 (steps 6201 and 6101). Here, it is a screen for a survey target person to access the system, and an ID and a password can be input. In accordance with this, a list of contents being provided may be displayed.

  The questionnaire target person terminal 1 accepts input of the user ID and password from the questionnaire target person on the portal screen displayed in step 6101 (step 6102).

  The questionnaire execution server 3 performs user authentication using the ID and password input in step 6102 (step 6202), and identifies the group that the identified target person needs to implement from the target person management table 311 ( Step 6203). This specification is performed using the target person management table 311 shown in FIG. That is, when the user authenticated by the user is A, groups 1 and 4 (contents and the like) are specified.

  Further, the screen of the group list identified in step 6203 is displayed on the questionnaire target person terminal 1 (steps 6204 and 6103). In FIG. 3, when the target person is A, the questionnaire execution server 3 identifies the groups that the target person A needs to implement as ID = 1, 4 from the target person management table 311. Further, a list of group titles corresponding to the identified title ID is displayed on the questionnaire target terminal 1 from the group management table 211. Here, not a group list but a content list as a questionnaire condition may be displayed. Further, the group list may be displayed including at least the content list. In this case, a content list and a questionnaire list may be displayed so that each content can be accessed with respect to the content list, and a questionnaire that has finished browsing corresponding content may be accessible with respect to the questionnaire list. . Further, accessible questionnaires and contents including this aspect may be displayed (in this case, control is performed using the group management table 211 in FIG. 2).

  The questionnaire target person terminal 1 accepts the input of the group data executed by the questionnaire target person on the group list screen displayed in step 6103 (step 6104).

  The questionnaire execution server 3 searches the group management table 211 using the title ID of the group selected in step 6104, and displays the segment list screen of the selected group on the questionnaire target person terminal 1 (steps 6205 and 6105). ).

  The questionnaire target person terminal 1 accepts the input of the segment data executed by the questionnaire target person on the segment list screen displayed in step 6105 (step 6106).

  The questionnaire execution server 3 checks the segment type ID included in the segment ID of the segment selected in Step 6101 (Step 6207).

  If the segment is a questionnaire in step 6207, it is checked whether or not the precondition is satisfied from the precondition of implementation of the group management table 211 and the progress status of the segment ID of the progress management table 511 (step 6208). ). Judgment whether the preconditions are satisfied is executed as follows.

  Preconditions for implementing the specified questionnaire ID (segment ID) are specified from the group management table 211 of FIG. For example, when user A has made an access request for a questionnaire of group title: employee awareness survey (title ID: 1), segment: questionnaire (Japanese) (segment type ID: 2, language ID: 1), It is found that the progress rate of the segment ID: 121 and the implementation prerequisite of the segment ID: 111 is 100%. Therefore, next, the progress rate of the segment ID: 111 is searched from the progress management table 511 of FIG. As a result, it is 100%, which means that the above precondition is satisfied, and an access request to the questionnaire (segment ID: 121) is permitted.

  In addition, as a method for searching for the progress rate of the segment ID: 111, the following method may be used. First, as a premise of this method, the segment ID is not specified in the “precondition of implementation” of the group management table 211 (for example, the progress status of the corresponding content is 100%, simply 100%, etc.) and recorded. . When there is an access request, the segment ID that is the “precondition” is specified by calculating from the segment ID of the questionnaire for which the access is requested. This is realized by predetermining the relationship between the segment ID of the access request and the segment ID as a precondition and storing it in the storage device. For example, (1) the access request segment ID and the corresponding precondition segment ID are stored in association with each other, and the search is performed. (2) The access request segment ID and the precondition segment ID are respectively set. From the viewpoint of numerical values, one may be calculated from a certain rule / formula. For example, the numerical difference may be made constant. In particular, regarding (2), in this embodiment, the segment ID of the access request−the segment ID of the precondition is set to 1. That is, the precondition segment can be calculated as 121−10 = 111.

  Furthermore, the value of the predetermined number of digits in each ID is set to a different value. In other words, the numerical value of a certain number of digits is made the same for the segment ID of the access request and the segment ID of the precondition. In the search, a search is performed with the same value digits (in this example, a segment ID having 1 in the first digit and 1 in the third digit is searched with the segment ID 121 of the access request). In this case, segment IDs 121 and 111 are searched, but the segment ID of the access request is excluded from the search result, the questionnaire and the content ID are separately managed (stored in different areas, or a separate table is created. Identification) may be made possible.

  If the progress status does not satisfy the precondition in step 6208, a screen for instructing execution of the segment described in the precondition is displayed on the questionnaire target terminal (step 6107).

  If the progress status satisfies the preconditions in step 6208, the questionnaire screen of the selected segment is displayed on the questionnaire target terminal 1 (steps 6209 and 6108). In step 6207, if the segment is content, the content screen of the selected segment is displayed on the questionnaire target terminal 1 (steps 6209 and 6108).

  The questionnaire target person terminal 1 accepts an input from the questionnaire target person on the content or questionnaire screen displayed in step 6108 and performs processing (step 6109). The questionnaire execution server 3 performs content or questionnaire processing in accordance with the input processing (step 6109) from the questionnaire target terminal 1 (6210). Further, the input from the questionnaire target terminal 1 is instructed to end (step 6111), the processing of step 6210 is ended, the data of the segment ID of the corresponding target person in the progress management table 511 is rewritten (step 6211), and the processing is performed. finish.
