Further, as shown in (b), when a person name M is transmitted from the image forming apparatus 100, a data group (affiliation, extension number) related to the person M is returned from the person database 114.

The dictionary database 115 is a database that stores information on a candidate word-required word group pair that indicates what meaning a word used in the network (LAN) 116 has.
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of the dictionary database.
As shown to (a), the information of a candidate candidate word-subject related word group pair is stored in the inside. Further, as shown in (b), when the message candidate word A is transmitted from the image forming apparatus 100, a related word group for the message candidate word A is returned. As an example, the meaning of “business trip” can be extracted from words such as “travel expenses” and “accommodation expenses” in an in-house document.

The information processing system according to the first embodiment described above operates as follows.
The processing of this system is roughly divided into document data storage processing, human relationship search, and display processing. First, document data accumulation processing will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart of document data storage processing in the system according to the first embodiment.
The operation of document data storage processing in the first embodiment will be described in order of steps from step S1-1 to step S1-9.

Step S1-1
The data input unit 101 (FIG. 2) accepts received data from a host device (not shown) and sends it to the data determination unit 111.

Step S1-2
The data determination unit 111 (FIG. 2) determines whether or not the header portion 301 (FIG. 4) exists at the beginning of the electronic file. If the header portion 301 (FIG. 4) exists, the template information is present. Determination is made, and the process proceeds to step S1-3. In other cases, the process proceeds to step S1-8 with no template information.

Step S1-3
The template candidate search processing unit 112 (FIG. 2) searches the template identification code from the header unit 301 (FIG. 4), and a template corresponding to this identification code exists in the template information storage unit 113 (FIG. 2). Acquires the identification code and proceeds to step S1-4. On the other hand, if the template corresponding to the identification code does not exist in the template information storage unit 113 (FIG. 2), the template candidate search processing unit 112 stores all the information stored in the template information storage unit 113 (FIG. 2). The image similarity with the template is examined, the one with the highest similarity is adopted as the template, the identification code corresponding to the template is acquired, and the process proceeds to step S1-4. However, if the similarity is lower than a predetermined threshold in any template, it is determined that there is no template information, and the process proceeds to step S1-8.

Step S1-4
Based on the acquired identification code, the template candidate search processing unit 112 (FIG. 2) stores the location information in which “destination person name” and “sender name” are entered from the template information storage unit 113 (FIG. 2), Get "candidate word". Template candidate search processing unit 112 (FIG. 2) transmits “business candidate word” to dictionary database 115 (FIG. 1) via data output unit 104.

Step S1-5
When the “database candidate word” is received from the image forming apparatus 100 (FIG. 1), the dictionary database 115 (FIG. 1) reads the message related word and returns it to the image forming apparatus.

Step S1-6
The data storage processing unit 102 (FIG. 2) obtains a message related word from the dictionary database 115 (FIG. 1) via the data input unit 101 (FIG. 2) and the data determination unit 111 (FIG. 2), and the step In S <b> 1-1, a requirement that indicates what the received data received by the image forming apparatus 100 conveys is narrowed down. For each message candidate word, a full text search is performed on the received data using the message related words for the message candidate words, and the number of message related words appearing in the document is searched. The thing with the largest number of occurrences of business related words is determined as a business.

Step S1-7
The data accumulation processing unit 102 (FIG. 2) accumulates data (accumulation data table (FIG. 3)) for indicating a personal relationship in the determination result. At this time, the “addressee name” and “sender name” are extracted from the input data based on the position information obtained in the template information acquisition S1-4, and stored together with the requirements determined in the requirement narrowing processing S1-6. It accumulates in the unit 103 (FIG. 3). In this case, if the received data is an electronic file, the update date of the electronic file is set, and if the scan data or FAX transmission / reception data is input, the input date is set as the “last contact date”, and “addressee name”, “sender name” ”And“ business ”are accumulated in the data accumulation unit 103 (accumulated data table (FIG. 3)). When data matching “addressee name”, “sender name”, and “business” is already stored in the data storage unit 103, the stored data processing unit 110 updates only “last contact date”. This is the end of the data accumulation process.

Step S1-8
The data processing unit 105 (FIG. 2) performs normal printing, scanning, and FAX transmission / reception processing.

Step S1-9
The data processing unit 105 (FIG. 2) performs printing, transmission and copy of scan data to the PC, and FAX transmission / reception via the data output unit 104 (FIG. 2), and the operation ends. The received data determined as having no template information in the presence / absence of template information S1-2 immediately passes S1-8 and S1-9 from step S1-2.

Next, the personal relationship search and display process will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart of human relationship search and display processing in the system of the first embodiment. The operation of the human relationship search and display processing will be described in order of steps from step S2-1 to step S2-10.

Step S2-1
Panel image processing unit 108 (FIG. 2) accepts a search term input by the user via search term input unit 106 (FIG. 2). The search terms entered by the user are “addressee name” and “business”. The user specifies “how long” to search for past “last contact date” data for refined search, and specifies the maximum number of human paths that indicate personal relationships. “Maximum number of paths” can also be entered.

Step S2-2
The panel image processing unit 108 (FIG. 2) sends the acquired “addressee name”, “business”, “period”, and “maximum number of paths” to the search processing unit 109 (FIG. 2). The search processing unit 109 (FIG. 2) searches the data storage unit 103 (FIG. 2) for data in which both “addressee name” and “business” match, and acquires the matching data. In the search process, in order to acquire a more useful personal relationship, the search is performed from the “last contact date” as close as possible to the present, and the data of the “last contact date” in the past is gradually searched.

Step S2-3
If it is equal to or less than the search word match & pass number upper limit, the process proceeds to step S2-4. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S2-5.

Step S2-4
The search processing unit 109 (FIG. 2) generates a human path. The human path refers to a graph structure of “sender name” → “destination person name”. Thereafter, the process returns to step S2-2. Here, the search process is recursively repeated with the “sender name” obtained immediately before as the “destination person name”. This is to express the connection of people who are in contact with each other as a personal path (a single human path of person A → person B → person C can be made). If the number of generated paths is equal to or less than the maximum number of paths when recursive search is performed and no matching data is found, the search is performed again with the first “destination person name”. If the search word match & pass number upper limit value is not satisfied, the process proceeds from step S2-3 to the next step.

Step S2-5
The search processing unit 109 (FIG. 2) determines whether there is no matching data and it is less than the set search period. If it is less than the set determination period, the process proceeds to step S2-6, and the set period is exceeded. Then, the process proceeds to step S2-7.

Step S2-6
If there is no matching data and the period is less than the period, the search period is increased by a certain amount, and the process returns to step S2-2 to repeat the search process.

Step S2-7
The search processing unit 109 (FIG. 2) acquires data related to the “person name” appearing in the human path obtained in step S2-4, and the person database 114 (FIG. 1) via the data output unit 104 (FIG. 2). Send to.

Step S2-8
The person database 114 (FIG. 1) obtains information related to the person name (affiliation, title, extension number, mail address, etc.) and sends it back to the image forming apparatus 100 (FIG. 2).

Step S2-9
The panel image processing unit 108 (FIG. 2) uses the human path obtained by performing the search process in the search processing unit 109 (FIG. 2) and the person name obtained by accessing the person database 114 (FIG. 1). A display graph is created based on the corresponding information and displayed on the search result output unit 107 (FIG. 2). Here, a display example will be described.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a search result obtained by the information processing system according to the first embodiment.
This figure is an example of a graph displayed on the search result output unit 107 as a search result by the information processing system of the first embodiment.
As shown in the figure, information corresponding to a human path and a person name obtained from the person database 114 (FIG. 1) is displayed.

Step S2-10
The user browses the search result shown in FIG. 11 via the search result output unit 107 (FIG. 2), and selects whether to continue the search result. The flow ends when the user instructs the end or when there is no input on the panel for a certain period of time. When the user changes the search condition, the process returns to the first step S2-1 to continue the process. The above is the operation of the human relationship search and display processing.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by using a touch panel and a utility of a PC to search for a personal relationship, who can pass through a person who is in contact with a certain business is quicker to talk to It becomes possible to obtain a kind of personal relationship information. As a result, when a user of the present system contacts a stranger about a certain business, it becomes possible to view what kind of person has recently contacted the person about the business. If there is an acquaintance in the human path that has been viewed, it is possible to contact a stranger more smoothly by asking a question to that person.

  Further, accumulation of data for representing a personal relationship is automatically performed every time a user of the image forming apparatus performs printing, scanning, and FAX transmission / reception on data registered in the image forming apparatus as a template. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the user side when accumulating data. Further, by using the person database and displaying information related to the person appearing in the human path, that is, information necessary for access such as affiliation, extension number, and mail address, there is no need to separately check the contact address. Therefore, the present system has an effect that it is possible to easily communicate between people about a certain requirement that occurs daily in a certain organization.

  In the present embodiment, the “intimacy” of the personal relationship that is not considered in the first embodiment is taken into consideration so that the “intimacy” can be easily understood intuitively when the human path is displayed. In the first embodiment, when “who”, “addressee name”, and “what kind of business” match, only the “last contact date” portion is overwritten. It can be said that this is based on the point of view of how close the contact has been made. However, even those who have contacted at the same time are more likely to know more about the “requirements” that they want to contact, and that information should also be helpful. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the image forming apparatus 200 is configured as follows by considering such a viewpoint.

FIG. 12 is a block diagram of a configuration of the image forming apparatus according to the second embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the image forming apparatus 200 includes a data input unit 101, a data storage processing unit 102, a data storage unit 203, a data output unit 104, a data processing unit 105, a search word input unit 106, A search result output unit 107, a panel image processing unit 208, a search processing unit 109, an accumulated data processing unit 110, a data determination unit 111, a template candidate search processing unit 112, and a template information storage unit 113 are provided. Only portions different from the first embodiment will be described in detail below. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The data storage unit 203 is a part that accepts search word candidates and the like from the data storage processing unit 102 and stores data in the form of a storage data table for showing a personal relationship as an example. Here, the contents of the accumulated data table will be described.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of an accumulated data table according to the second embodiment.
As shown in the figure, the accumulated data table includes “destination person name” (To in the figure), requirement, “sender name” (From in the figure), last contact date, and number of times (X, Y, Z). It is a table which counts. Here, “destination person name” (To in the figure) and “sender name” (From in the figure) are accepted from the template information storage unit 113, and the requirements are accepted from the data storage processing unit 102 as search word candidates. Also, the last contact date is acquired as the “last contact date” when the electronic file is input, the update date of the electronic file is acquired, and when the scan data and FAX transmission / reception data are input, the input date is acquired as the “last contact date”. Updated by the unit 110 (FIG. 12). Further, in the present embodiment, the number of times (X, Y, Z) that is contacted in the business is stored. The purpose of this is to preserve the information because people who have contacted at the same time are more likely to know more about the “requirements” that they want to contact.

The number of times (X, Y, Z) data is divided into three types as shown below.
X: For each person (Mr. A, etc.) how many times the communication about a certain message was sent / received (in this data, only To and the last contact date in the figure are valid, and other items are ignored).
Y: How many times contact was made between each person (from Mr. A to Mr. B, etc.) (In this data, only the item of business is ignored in the figure)
Z: How many times each person has been contacted about a certain requirement (in this data, all items are valid)

  The data X is used as an index of how detailed a person is considered to be with respect to the search target. The data of Y is used as an index of how frequently the exchange between certain persons was performed (regardless of the requirement). The data of Z is used as an index of how frequently Y has been contacted regarding a certain requirement.

  The panel image processing unit 208 is a part that accepts an operation performed on the touch panel and converts it into a predetermined signal. Further, the processing result by the search processing unit 109 is displayed in a graphic form on the search result output unit 107. In particular, in the present embodiment, the number of times of communication newly added in the storage process in the display process is divided into three stages (example) X, Y, and Z as described above, and an arrow is displayed at the time of display. And the thickness of a block line representing a person. The contents will be described below.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram of an example of a test result obtained by the information processing system according to the second embodiment.
FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram of an example of the expression method of FIG.
As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the thickness of the arrow between the persons and the frame of the block representing the person at the time of display based on the newly added number (X, Y, Z) information Change the line thickness.

  The arrow is expressed in the form of a black arrow drawn out with a white arrow (the black arrow is thicker). The black arrow corresponds to the Y data. The larger the Y data, the thicker the arrow. The thickness of the arrow drawn in white corresponds to the Z data. Accordingly, the larger the Z data is, the larger the rate of whitening out is. Since the relationship of Y ≧ Z is established, the black arrow does not disappear by increasing the thickness of Y slightly in advance.

  By expressing in this way, for example, it is possible to estimate two types of information such as how close the person A is to the person B and how close the person A is with respect to the business L1 only by looking at the arrows.

  Further, the thickness of the frame line of the block indicating each person is made larger as X becomes larger in accordance with the X data. By this expression, it is possible to estimate how much a certain person is about a certain requirement by simply looking at the block. In other words, although it is not so close, it can be estimated that it seems meaningful to just get in touch.

  However, this is only an example, and two types of arrows may be prepared with different colors, and the two may be displayed in an overlapping manner. One is thicker as the Y data is larger, and the other is thicker as the Z data is larger. Since the relationship of Y ≧ Z is established, the Y arrow is set downward. By this expression, it becomes possible to know how much the request is being made for the entire contact. For the X data, the larger the value, the darker the color.

  Since the operation of the information system according to the present embodiment only adds new processing to the data storage and display processing contents based on the operation in the first embodiment, only the operation of the added processing will be described below.

  First, a part newly added or changed in the data accumulation process will be described. In the first embodiment, when “addressee name”, “sender name”, and “business” match and data has already been accumulated, only the data of “last contact date” has been updated, but this section proposes In the system, as information to be accumulated, information indicating how many times the message has been contacted is added and accumulated. When the same destination, sender, and business data are input to the image forming apparatus, the “last contact date” information is updated and 1 is added to the number of times Z in FIG.

  Further, the difference between the old “last contact date” and the new “last contact date” is taken, and if the value is larger than a preset value, the number of times is reset. The reason for this is to maintain the reliability of accumulated data. Whether it is person A or person B, the user of the device does not necessarily play a role. Therefore, there is no guarantee that you will be much more familiar with a requirement. If too old information is referred to, the person A may not be familiar with a certain requirement now. Reset to avoid such harmful effects.

  In addition, for the same destination and sender, the number of times Y is counted (the requirements may be different). The greater the number of times, the greater the number of contacts. If this is also larger than the preset value, the number of times is reset. This is based on the same reason as Z above.

  Further, 1 is added to the number X of times each person is contacted or contacted regarding the same “business”. The greater the number of times, the more detailed the “business” will be. When the data is stored, these three types of values X, Y, and Z are updated so that the details about the intimacy and “business” can be shown.

  In the display process, the thickness of the arrow between the person and the person representing the person is displayed based on the three values X, Y, and Z newly added in the accumulation process as described above. Represent by changing the thickness of the border. To do. Two types of arrows are prepared in different colors, and the two are displayed superimposed. The display result is as shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, how often the contact is made, how much the contact is made with the business, how many percent of the contact is made with the business, The effect of knowing how much detail is necessary for the requirement is obtained.

  In the embodiment, a multifunction peripheral is described as an example of the image forming apparatus. However, since the present system is intended for an image forming apparatus, a printer, a copier, or the like outputs and uses an image by inputting data. Any device can be applied.
