Description

  The present invention relates to a document processing apparatus and a document processing program.

  An ASP (Application Service Provider) that provides application functions to users via a network has become widespread. Some ASPs provide document sharing services. The document sharing service is a service that enables document sharing within a specified group of users. Such a service provides a storage area for document sharing to contractors (individuals or organizations such as companies) who have signed a use contract. Among servers that provide such services, there are servers that can individually set (customize) the operation screen for each document storage area (in other words, for each contractor).

  Some document sharing services can integrate a plurality of existing document storage areas. For example, when a plurality of departments that have individually signed usage agreements with service providers are integrated into one, the storage areas of each department before integration are an example. Conventionally, since the operation screen is set for each document storage area (that is, for each contract), the user who used each document storage area before integration uses the operation screen corresponding to the document storage area after integration. Was.

  First, an example of a system to which the system of the embodiment of the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. In the illustrated system, a document management server 100 that provides a document distribution service and an image processing apparatus 200 such as a digital copying machine or a digital multifunction peripheral (an apparatus having a function of a printer, a scanner, a copying machine, a facsimile machine, etc.) It is connected to a network 300 such as the Internet. The image processing apparatus 200 has a function of reading a paper document and registering an image of the reading result in the document management server 100. The image processing apparatus 200 has a function of downloading a document file from the document management server 100 and printing the document file or displaying the document file on an attached display device. The image processing apparatus 200 includes a display device such as a touch panel display, for example, and displays a UI (user interface) screen provided by the document management server 100 on the display device. Further, the image processing apparatus 200 includes an input device for accepting user input on the UI screen. The input device is, for example, a keyboard or a touch panel display. In addition, the image processing apparatus 200 includes an information processing unit for controlling processing such as display and input as described above. The image processing apparatus 200 is an example of a client that receives a service from the document management server 100. In addition to this, the document management server 100 may provide a service to an information processing unit such as a personal computer.

  The document management server 100 has a function of storing a document file registered by a user and a function of distributing the saved document file to the user. This distribution function, for example, sends access information (for example, URL (Uniform Resource Locator)) for the document file stored in the document management server 100 to the notification destination. In this case, when the user who receives the e-mail accesses the document management server 100 using the access information, the document management server 100 uses the information sent from the user side at the time of the access. Based on this, a target document file is identified, and processing for providing the file to the user side is performed.

  The document management server 100 in this example provides a document space called “cabinet” 400-1, 2, 3,... (Hereinafter collectively referred to as cabinet 400) as shown in FIG. One cabinet 400 is assigned to one user group. One user group is composed of users belonging to one organization, such as one company or one department. In this system, a document file registered in a cabinet 400 by a certain user is provided to users (or a part thereof) of a group corresponding to the cabinet 400. In an example of the use form of this system, for example, a service provider operates the document management server 100, and a user group is assigned a cabinet for the group by making a use contract with the service provider.

  Each cabinet 400 is assigned a unique cabinet ID (identification information). Further, a cabinet attribute 405 is associated with the cabinet 400. The cabinet attribute 405 includes a cabinet name and description used for screen display, a management password required when using the management function of the cabinet, an access password required to access the cabinet, contract-related information, and the like. It is. Users belonging to the group can log in to the cabinet by entering the correct access password set in the cabinet.

  One or more boxes 410 may be provided in the cabinet 400. A box 410 corresponds to a folder or directory in a general file system. An administrator or user of the cabinet 400 can create a box 410 according to the purpose and register a document file 420 therein. A unique box ID is assigned to the box 410, and a box attribute 415 is associated therewith. The box attribute 415 includes, for example, information such as a box name and description used for screen display, an access password necessary for accessing the box, and a retention period of the document file registered in the box 410. Further, the box attribute 415 may include a list of notification destination email addresses to which a notification email should be issued when a document file is registered in the box 410. After logging in to the cabinet, the user can specify a desired box 410, register a file in the box 410, and download a file stored in the desired box 410. For example, when a document file is registered in a certain box 410, a notification mail including the URL of the document file is transmitted to the notification destination included in the attribute 415 of the box 410. The user who has received the mail accesses the document file using the URL.

  Next, an example of a functional configuration of the document management server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the document management server 100 includes a processing device 110 and a database 120. The processing device 110 includes a UI unit 111, an authentication unit 113, a database management unit 115, a cabinet determination unit 117, and a log recording unit 119. The UI unit 111 provides UI screen data to a client apparatus such as the image processing apparatus 200. The UI screen data is, for example, a web page. The authentication unit 113 performs authentication processing for user login or access to the cabinet or box. Authentication is performed, for example, by allowing a user to input authentication information such as a password. The database management unit 115 manages registration and reading of document files and cabinet management information with respect to the database 120. The cabinet determination unit 117 determines an existing cabinet corresponding to the cabinet ID presented as the login destination by the user. When the document management server 100 integrates a plurality of cabinets into one, the document management server 100 permits the login after the integration with the cabinet ID and password of the cabinet before integration. The log recording unit 119 performs processing for recording a history (log) of a user's (administrator or general user) operation on the database 120.

  The database 120 stores cabinet management information 122, a document file group 124, and log information 126. The document file group 124 is document file entity data managed by the document management server 100. The log information 126 is information on a user's operation history for the database 120. The operation history includes, for example, operation date and time, operator identification information, information for specifying an operated target (for example, a cabinet, a box, or a document file). Further, when charging for an operation, the document management server 100 records charging information for the executed operation. Such charging information can also be regarded as a kind of log information 126. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the cabinet management information 122 includes cabinet information 500 representing each cabinet assigned to each contractor. The cabinet information 500 of one cabinet includes a cabinet ID 510, view setting information 520, data setting information 530, and contract related information 540, which are identification information of the cabinet.

  The view setting information 520 is setting information that defines a UI screen to be provided to the user. As illustrated in FIG. 5, a portlet placement setting 522 that indicates the placement position of each portlet on the UI screen, and individual portlets Portlet setting 524 for defining the display and processing contents of the. A portlet is a GUI (Graphical User Interface) component arranged on a Web page.

  FIG. 6 shows a display example of a portal page provided by the document management server 100. This example shows a portal page of cabinet A assigned to a certain user group based on a usage contract. This page has an area 600 where a user group can be customized. In this example, the area 600 includes a portlet 610 for displaying an administrator message, a portlet 620 for inputting a keyword for searching a document or a box, a portlet 630 for displaying a bookmarked link group, and the inside of the cabinet. A portlet 640 for displaying a list of boxes is arranged. The user group can specify portlets to be arranged in the area 600, and can specify the position and size of each portlet. The size of the portlet may be specified by, for example, the length and width of the portlet, or may be specified by the number of elements displayed in the portlet (for example, the number of boxes displayed in a list). These designated contents are view setting information 520.

  The data setting information 530 includes attribute information of the cabinet (cabinet attribute 532), attribute information of each box in the cabinet (box attribute 534), and attribute information of each file in each box (file attribute 536). . The cabinet attribute 532 includes information such as the display name and description of the cabinet and a password set for the cabinet. The box attribute 534 includes a display name and description of the box, a password set in the box, a length of a retention period of a file registered in the box, a notification destination address of an email notifying registration of the document, and the box. ID of the cabinet to which the The file attribute 536 includes, for example, an ID of a cabinet and box to which the file belongs, identification information (file ID) of the file itself, a file name, and the like as illustrated in FIG. The file attribute 536 may further include a description about the file, the date and time when the file was registered in the server 100, and a time limit for holding the file in the server 100. In this system, a plurality of cabinets can be integrated into one, but the ID (old cabinet ID) of the cabinet to which the document file belonged before integration may be included in the file attribute 536. In this case, for example, in the attribute of the file “0015” that already exists in the cabinet A before integration, the ID “A” of the cabinet before integration is registered as the old cabinet ID. On the other hand, since the file “0058” is a file newly registered for the new cabinet C after integration, there is no old cabinet ID. The box attribute 534 may also have the ID of the old cabinet to which each box belonged before integration.

  The contract related information 540 is information regarding a use contract exchanged between the user group of the cabinet and the operator of the document management server 100. As shown in FIG. 5, the contract related information 540 includes a contract ID 542 that is identification information of the contract, a service setting 544 that defines service contents provided to the user by the contract, and a representative representing the user group. The name of the organization (representative organization name 546), the representative name 548 of the representative organization, and the like are included.

  Returning again to the description of FIG. When a plurality of cabinets are integrated into one, the cabinets before the integration are lost and the integrated result cabinet remains, but in this system, the cabinet information 500 about the integrated result cabinet is added to the cabinet ( Save the view setting information of the cabinet before integration). In the example of FIG. 4, since the cabinet C is formed by integrating the cabinets A and B, the cabinet information 500 of the cabinet C stores the view settings 550A and 550B of the cabinets A and B in association with each other.

  The password information 560 in the cabinet management information 122 is information representing a password for each cabinet. The password is a password necessary for accessing the cabinet, and is the same as the access password included in the cabinet attribute 405. In this example, the password information 560 also retains the password of the cabinet before integration that has disappeared due to integration.

  The cabinet relation table 570 in the cabinet management information 122 is a table (table) representing the correspondence between the cabinet before integration and the cabinet after integration. This table lists two-way relationships between cabinet IDs before integration and corresponding cabinet IDs after integration. For example, in the table illustrated in FIG. 4, the IDs after integration for the IDs “A” and “B” before integration are both “C”. This is because cabinets A and B are integrated to form cabinet C. Represents. Further, the ID after integration corresponding to the ID “C” before integration is “null (ie,“ does not exist ”)”, which indicates that the cabinet C exists without being integrated. Such a table is equivalent to a set of trees (trees) rooted in existing cabinets.If a certain cabinet ID is given, the tree represented by the cabinet relation table 570 is traced to the ID. The corresponding existing cabinet can be identified.

  Next, an example of a processing procedure of the database management unit 115 at the time of cabinet integration will be described with reference to FIG. For example, when user groups using different cabinets are merged into one group, there may be a request from the user side to integrate the cabinets into one. In such a case, the user side requests the operator of the document management server 100 to integrate the cabinet. The operator confirms the validity of the request. If the request is valid, the system administrator on the operator side performs an operation for cabinet integration on the document management server 100 according to the request. FIG. 8 shows processing executed by the database management unit 115 in response to such an operation. This process is protected so that only the operator can call it.

  In this processing, the database management unit 115 first receives designation of IDs of a plurality of cabinets to be integrated from the system administrator, and assigns a unique cabinet ID to a new cabinet that can be integrated (S1). Then, the database management unit 115 generates an entry of cabinet information 500 for the new cabinet in the database 120. Further, the database management unit 115 searches the database 120 for view setting information corresponding to each cabinet ID designated as an integration target, associates the view setting information 520 of each old cabinet with the ID of the old cabinet, The information is incorporated into the cabinet information 500 of the new cabinet after integration (S2). In addition, the database management unit 115 provides an input screen for inputting the view setting information 520 and the contract related information 540 of the new cabinet after integration to the system administrator, and accepts input of the information 520 and 540 ( S3). The system administrator sets the new cabinet view setting information 520 and the contract related information 540 in accordance with the information from the user group after integration. It can be considered that the view setting information 520 set at this time is different from the view setting information of the cabinet before integration. For example, it is assumed that the cabinet A that employs the UI screen illustrated in FIG. 6 is integrated with another cabinet B and a new cabinet C is generated. In this case, the UI screen of the new cabinet C may be different from the cabinet A as exemplified in FIG. For example, in FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, the positions of the portlets and the sizes of the portlets 610 and 640 are different from each other.

  In addition, the database management unit 115 generates data setting information 530 for the new cabinet by combining the data setting information 530 for each old cabinet to be integrated, and writes the data setting information 530 to the database 120 (S4). When integrating a plurality of old cabinets, for example, a group of boxes belonging to each of the old cabinets may be directly assigned to the new cabinet. In this case, the box attribute 534 of each old cabinet is merged, and the ID of the cabinet to which each box belongs is rewritten to the ID of the new cabinet. At this time, the ID of the old cabinet to which each box belongs may be added as the attribute value of the old cabinet ID of each box. Similarly, the file attribute 536 of each old cabinet is merged and the ID of the cabinet to which each file belongs is rewritten with the ID of the new cabinet. The ID of the old cabinet to which each file belongs may be added as the attribute value of the old cabinet ID of each file. Of the data setting information 530 for the new cabinet, the cabinet attribute 532 (for example, the password for the new cabinet) is set by the system administrator.

  The new cabinet after integration is completed by the above processing. After the new cabinet is completed, the cabinet information 500 of the old cabinet may be deleted. Further, instead of deleting, the old cabinet may be invalidated by adding information indicating that it is no longer an existing cabinet to the cabinet information 500 of the old cabinet.

  Next, an example of processing for the user of the document management server 100 will be described with reference to FIG. In this example, first, the UI unit 111 of the document management server 100 displays a login screen for inputting a cabinet ID and password to be logged in in response to an access from a user (that is, a client device, for example, the image processing device 200). Returns information on. Then, the cabinet ID and password input by the user are acquired (S11). The authentication unit 113 determines whether the combination of the cabinet ID and the password is a valid combination registered in the password information 560. If it is valid, the authentication is successful, and if it is not valid, the authentication is failed (S12). . Here, since the combination of the old cabinet ID and password that disappeared as a result of the integration remains in the password information 560, the user can log in using the old cabinet ID and password.

  If the authentication fails, the document management server 100 prompts the user to re-enter the cabinet ID and password, for example. When the authentication is successful, the determination unit 117 refers to the cabinet relation table 570 and specifies the ID of the existing cabinet corresponding to the cabinet ID (S13). For example, the “ID after integration” of the entry whose cabinet ID is “ID before integration” is obtained from the cabinet relation table 570, and the same processing is repeated with the obtained ID as “ID before integration”. When the “ID after integration” becomes null by repeating this process, the ID before integration corresponding to the ID after integration is the ID of the existing cabinet. When the ID of the existing cabinet is specified, the database management unit 115 logs the user into the cabinet (S14). At this time, the log recording unit 119 adds a log record indicating that the user has logged into the existing cabinet to the log information 126. Further, the UI unit 111 reads the view setting information corresponding to the cabinet ID acquired in step S11 from the database 120, and provides the user with a UI screen according to the setting information (S15). That is, in step S15, if the cabinet ID and password acquired in step S11 from the user are of an old cabinet that has been lost due to integration, a UI screen according to the view setting information of the old cabinet is provided to the user. Is done. If the cabinet ID and password are those of an existing cabinet, a UI screen according to the view setting information of the existing cabinet is provided to the user. Therefore, the user can use the UI screen used before the integration even after the cabinet integration. For example, when the cabinet relation table 570 is the one illustrated in FIG. 7, when the user inputs the ID and password of the cabinet A, a UI screen according to the setting of the cabinet A is provided to the user. Operations on the cabinet C can be performed using the UI screen.

  The user gives instructions for operations on the logged-in cabinet, for example, registration and download of document files, through the UI screen displayed on the client apparatus such as the image processing apparatus 200. The database management unit 115 executes an operation such as registering a document file in the database 120 according to the operation instruction (S16). For example, when the user clicks on one box in the box list 640 on the UI screen illustrated in FIG. 6, for example, the document management server 100 provides a UI screen for operating the box. For example, a list of document files registered in the box is displayed on the UI screen for operating the box. When the user selects any document file in the list, the document file is provided to the user. For example, when the user instructs registration of a document file for the box, the document file is registered in the box. When the operation according to the user's instruction is executed as described above, the log recording unit 119 generates a log record related to the user's operation and adds it to the log information 126 (S17). The log record includes information such as the date and type of the operation and the operation target (for example, cabinet or box). Here, as information representing the cabinet to be operated, the ID of the existing cabinet determined in step S13 is recorded in the log record. Note that the cabinet ID acquired in step S11 may also be recorded. Further, when charging information about the operation is recorded as a kind of history regarding the operation, the ID of the existing cabinet determined in step S13 (or the contract ID corresponding to the cabinet ID) is recorded as the charging target. Until the user instructs logout by pressing the button 660 or the like, the document management server 100 repeats reception and execution of the operation instruction (S16) and recording of the executed operation (S17).

  Here, the UI screen layout may be switched by the user operating the view switching portlet 650. For example, a user who logs in by presenting the ID of the old cabinet A before integration is initially presented with a UI screen according to the settings of the old cabinet A, but the user operates the portlet 650, The setting of the UI screen can be switched to the setting of the existing cabinet C. Alternatively, after switching to the view setting of the existing cabinet C, the view setting of the old cabinet A may be switched again.

  When logout is instructed by the user (S18), the document management server 100 places the user in the logout state and ends the series of processes.

  When the administrator of the cabinet logs in to the cabinet using the administrator password registered in advance in the document management server 100, the log information 126 of the cabinet can be browsed. An example of a log information display screen is shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 11, a log record group including the operation date, the operation content (operation type), the access authority of the user who performed the operation, and the operation target is shown.

  When the user logs in with the old cabinet ID before integration, the document management server 100 limits the old cabinet ID to only boxes and electronic documents having the value of the “old cabinet ID” attribute (see, for example, FIG. 7). May be. In this case, since only the boxes and document files in the existing cabinet having the old cabinet ID are displayed on the UI screen, a screen with less discomfort for the user who used the old cabinet before integration. It becomes.

  When a document file is registered by the user while the UI screen based on the view setting information of the old cabinet is displayed, the document management server 100 sets the ID of the old cabinet to the file attribute of the document file. The old cabinet ID value (see FIG. 7) may be registered. For example, in the example of the cabinet relation table 570 of FIG. 4, when the user registers a document file by operating the UI screen of the cabinet A, the document file has the ID “C” of the existing cabinet corresponding to the cabinet A. It has “Cabinet ID” attribute value and “A” as “Old Cabinet ID” attribute value.

  Further, the document management server 100 may limit the publication of the document file to a user who has logged in with an ID of “(existing) cabinet ID” or “old cabinet ID” of the attribute of the document file.

  Further, when the user logs in with the old cabinet ID, the ID of the old cabinet may be recorded in the log record for the operation of the user in addition to the ID of the existing cabinet. When one of the existing cabinet and the old cabinet is selected by the cabinet switching portlet 680 on the log display screen (see FIG. 11), the document management server 100 displays a list of log records including the ID of the selected cabinet. You may make it display.

  The document management server 100 in the system exemplified above is typically realized by executing a program describing functions or processing contents of each unit of the document management server 100 described above on a general-purpose computer. A computer is, for example, a circuit in which a CPU (central processing unit) such as a microprocessor, a memory (primary storage) such as a random access memory, various I / O (input / output) interfaces, and the like are connected via a bus as hardware. It has a configuration. In addition, for example, a hard disk drive, a disk drive for reading and / or writing to a CD or DVD, and / or a portable nonvolatile recording medium of various standards such as a flash memory via the I / O interface, A device for writing or the like is connected. A program in which the processing contents of the embodiment are described is stored in a fixed storage device such as a hard disk drive via a recording medium such as a CD or DVD or via a network, and is installed in a computer.
