Description

The present invention relates to a data input device and a data input system.
More specifically, the present invention relates to a data input device and a data input system that efficiently perform an operation of inputting information while referring to a relatively long description in a limited screen.

Today's corporate activities cannot be described without OA equipment, so-called IT (Information Technology). Many of these OA devices are connected to an in-house LAN, and further connected to the Internet through the in-house LAN. Information necessary for business activities is exchanged between the company and the customer or the company.
Needless to say, companies benefit from using and managing assets. Assets that create this value include not only tangible assets but also intangible information.
As long as it is an asset, it cannot be denied that there is always a threat of being threatened by external infringement.
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-133867 shows a related art related to the construction of an information security management system.

Patent Document 1 discloses performing the following six steps when constructing an information security management system.
Step 1: Formulate an information security policy Step 2: Determine the scope of application of ISMS (Information Security Management System) Step 3: Perform risk assessment Step 4: Determine the risk to be managed Step 5: Determine management objectives and measures Select Step 6: Create an application declaration

JP 2005-293267 A

To take the steps described above, specialized knowledge about information security is required.
Furthermore, it is difficult to formulate the steps as described above unless the person can grasp the contents of the work in the workplace and the information assets used or produced for the work.
Human resources who are familiar with work at the workplace are managers.

Originally, it is desirable to promote risk assessment by having a manager who understands the entire on-site work study information security.
However, managers are extremely busy, and it is difficult to find time to study.
On the other hand, the general job at the end has time to study, so it can obtain specialized knowledge about information security, but is not in a position to grasp the entire work at the site. Here is a dilemma.
Therefore, before an accident or incident occurs, it is necessary to identify vulnerabilities that exist in the field and take appropriate measures.
For this purpose, a tool that enables managers who are familiar with work to perform risk assessment work (risk evaluation) with less specialized knowledge without the need for troublesome study on information security is desired.

In the process of creating a system according to this proposition, the inventor faced the reality that an input person in charge had to read a relatively long explanation before making an inquiry.
When performing risk assessment work, there are situations where a certain information asset is asked whether necessary measures are being taken. In this process, “I have to do to protect this information asset, but I haven't done it yet” is what I have to do to protect this information asset, and this is the goal. In order to achieve the goal, it is necessary for the input person to understand the importance of this “must do”. Here, the person in charge of input is a person who is familiar with work, and most of them are managers.
If this importance is not understood, it is likely that the need to take time out of busy days and put it into practice will not be recognized and will never be achieved. If such a state is left unattended, an accident may occur. The performance of information security management work is slow after an accident occurs.
Therefore, in order to improve the awareness of information security when inquiring to input data, explanatory text is essential.

However, there are a variety of measures for information assets. For this reason, when a question about a measure is displayed in a table format including an explanatory text, a large explanatory area is occupied to display a long explanatory text, and it becomes very difficult to read. In addition, the number of items that can be displayed in one screen (the number of records in the table) is limited, and the prospect is poor for the person who performs the input work.
Further, as the amount of information displayed on the screen increases, the time required for screen drawing becomes longer, resulting in a problem that the response of the entire system becomes worse.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and can efficiently perform an input operation while displaying a wide variety of question contents with explanatory texts on a limited display screen. An object of the present invention is to provide a data input device and a data input system.

  In order to solve the above problems, a data input device according to the present invention includes a display table including a first linking field, a list display field, and a detail display field, and a first linking field. Input table having a second linking field and an input field, a detail display area for displaying the contents of the detail display field of the display table for one record, and the contents of the list display field of the display table A display unit that displays a list display area for displaying a plurality of records, a display control unit that forms a detail display area and a list display area on the display unit, an input unit that accepts user operations, and records in the input table Read out after linking to the display table, and display control of one record for the detailed display area and another record for the list display area And outputs to, and having an input-output control unit that records the input from the input unit data in the input field of one record in the input table.

  In order to solve the above problem, a data input system according to the present invention is a data input system including a client and a server connected to the client via a network. A display table including a field, a list display field, and a detail display field; an input table including a second linking field and an input field linked to the first linking field; and a client instruction The server input / output records the input table records in association with the display table, outputs them to the client, and records the data input from the client in the input fields of the predetermined records in the input table. The client has a field for displaying details of the display table. Display area for displaying the contents of one record, a list display area for displaying the contents of the list display field of the display table for multiple records, a detail display area and a list display area in the display section A display control unit that forms a user interface, an input unit that accepts user operations, and a record of the input table received from the server input / output control unit after being associated with the display table, Outputs records and other records for the list display area to the display control unit, and sends data input from the input unit to the server input / output control unit to record in the input field of one record of the input table And a client input / output control unit.

  As described above, in the present invention, the minimum necessary contents are listed and displayed in the list display area. On the other hand, when it is desired to input a specific record or the like, a detailed display area is provided separately for only the record of interest, and contents that cannot be displayed in the list display area are displayed.

  Therefore, according to the present invention, a data input device and a data input capable of efficiently performing an input operation while displaying a variety of questions with accompanying explanations in a limited display screen. A power system can be provided.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a data input device as an example of an embodiment of the present invention.
The data input device 101 inputs data input from the input unit 106 while displaying the records included in the display table 102 on the display unit 105 via the input / output control unit 103 and the display control unit 104. This is recorded in the input table 107 via the output control unit 103.
Here, the data input device 101 is, for example, a personal computer, the display unit 105 is a display, and the input unit 106 is a keyboard, a mouse, or the like. The input / output control unit 103 and the display control unit 104 are functions realized by programs, and the display table 102 and the input table 107 are provided as files and databases on a non-volatile storage such as a hard disk.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of a data input system, which is an example of an embodiment of the present invention.
The data input device 101 in FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram assuming a stand-alone personal computer. However, as shown in FIG. 2, it can also be realized by a client-server type system.
In FIG. 2, a data input system 201 includes a client 202 and a server 203 connected via a network 204.
In this case, the function of the input / output control unit 103 in FIG. 1 is divided into a client input / output control unit 205 and a server input / output control unit 206 in FIG. The client input / output control unit 205 and the server input / output control unit 206 are connected by a network.

The client 202 is a personal computer, for example. The client input / output control unit 205 and the display control unit 104 can be realized by running a program such as Ajax, JavaScript (registered trademark), or Java (registered trademark) applet in a web browser (not shown) that operates on a personal computer.
With a web browser alone, the dynamic display function implemented in this embodiment is difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to separately introduce the program as described above. This program is downloaded from the server 203 and then executed on the web browser.
The server 203 is composed of a web server. In addition, a database server can be separately prepared for providing the display table 102 and the input table 107.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the display table 102 and the input table 107.
The display table 102 is a table in which contents to be displayed on the display unit 105 are recorded for each record.
The input table 107 is a table associated with the display table 102 and prepared for recording necessary data in a predetermined field.

In the display table 102, question items for every user are recorded for each record.
On the other hand, the input table 107 is a table for recording answer contents directed to a specific user.
The question items for inquiring each user in advance are narrowed down, and an input table 107 that matches each user is provided. By configuring the input table 107 in this way, the display table 102 has general versatility, the input table 107 asks different questions for each specific user, and the user inputs an answer appropriately. Can do.

The linking field F302 of the display table 102 is a field prepared for linking (relation and association) between records with the linking field F307 of the input table 107, and the same value is used for each. To be recorded.
A list display field F303 of the display table 102 is a field in which contents to be displayed in a list display area described later with reference to FIG. 4 are recorded. The list display field F303 may also be displayed in a detailed display area described later with reference to FIG. Whether or not to display the contents of this field in the detailed display area is determined at the discretion of the designer in consideration of usability for the user.

  The detail display field F304 of the display table 102 is a field in which contents to be displayed in a detail display area described later with reference to FIG. 4 are recorded, and many are character string fields including relatively long sentences. . Therefore, a variable length character string field is more desirable. Note that only a part of the detail display field F304 may be displayed in a list display area described later with reference to FIG. Whether or not to display a part of the contents of this field in the list display area is determined at the discretion of the designer in consideration of usability for the user.

  A search field F305 of the display table 102 is a field in which contents used for a search function described later with reference to FIG. 4 are recorded. The search field F305 may be displayed in one or both of a list display area and a detailed display area, which will be described later with reference to FIG. Whether or not to display the contents of this field in these two display areas is determined at the discretion of the designer in consideration of usability for the user.

  The operation control field F306 of the display table 102 is a field in which a flag indicating whether or not to check the contents of a value input in an input process described later is recorded. Since the content of the operation control field F306 is a flag, the content of the flag itself is not often displayed in either or both of a list display area and a detailed display area described later with reference to FIG. Instead, the display contents of either or both of the list display area and the detailed display area may be changed based on the value of the operation control field F306. Such display contents are determined at the discretion of the designer in consideration of usability for the user.

  In the input field F308 of the input table 107, the contents of the value input during the input process described later are recorded.

In the above description, the association field F302, the list display field F303, the detail display field F304, the search field F305, and the operation control field F306 of the display table 102 indicate the existence of assumed fields one by one. It is classified.
Here, at least one list display field F303 and one detail display field F304 always exist in the display table 102.
On the other hand, the search field F305 and the operation control field F306 are not necessarily essential. However, if it exists, it contributes to the improvement of the usability of the data input device 101.
If a table in which the display table 102 and the input table 107 are integrated is prepared, the linking field F302 is unnecessary. However, when the display table 102 and the input table 107 are prepared separately, the linking field F302 is indispensable.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the inside of a web browser window displayed on the display unit 105.
A list display area 403 and a detailed display area 404 are displayed in the window 402 of the web browser.
The list display area 403 includes
The list display field F303 and the search field F305 are included in the display table 102. The input field F308 is included in the input table 107.
Listed and displayed in tabular form.
That is, as shown in FIG.
A field name “category” is added to the head of the display column of the search field F305,
A field name “item” is added to the head of the display column of the list display field F303,
The field name “Answer” is added to the head of the display column of the input field F308.
Among these, a detailed display area 404 is displayed for one specific record.

  Note that the number of records displayed in the list display area 403 is equal to the number of records in the input table 107.

The detail display area 404 has a relatively large display area. This area occupies a much larger area than the area of one line of the list display area 403, that is, the area of one record. In this detailed display area 404,
Of the display table 102, a list display field F303, a search field F305, and a detail display field F304, and of the input table 107, an input field F308
An appropriate layout is displayed according to the display content.

The detailed display area 404 is an area for displaying a long sentence field or the like which is not displayed in the list display area 403 or only partially displayed in the list display area 403 in a wide area as possible. The detailed display area 404 is also used as an input form such as reading a long sentence and inputting an answer. In the present embodiment, the detail display field F304 corresponds to the long sentence field.
The detail display area 404 is an image that enlarges and displays one selected record among the records displayed in the list display area 403.

At the left end of the detail display area 404, “move buttons” that are convenient for freely moving the records displayed in the list display area 403 are provided in a vertical line.

A “Δ (upper white triangle)” button (hereinafter, “upper white triangle button”) 407 is a button for moving the detail display area 404 upward by one record from the current record.
A “▽ (lower white triangle)” button (hereinafter, “lower white triangle button”) 408 is a button for moving the detailed display area 404 downward by one record from the current record.
A “▼ (lower black triangle)” button (hereinafter, “lower black triangle button”) 409 is a button for moving the detailed display area 404 downward by five records from the current record.
That is, the upper black triangle button 406, the upper white triangle button 407, the lower white triangle button 408, and the lower black triangle button 409 are buttons for moving the detailed display area 404 by the designated number of records.

A “circle (circle)” button (hereinafter “circle button”) 410 is a button for searching up to a record in which “circle (circle)” has already been input in the input field F308 and moving to the corresponding record. is there.
A “preliminary (scheduled)” button (hereinafter “scheduled button”) 411 is a button for searching up to a record in which “preliminary (planned)” has already been input in the input field F308 and moving to the corresponding record. .
The “x (cross)” button (hereinafter “cross mark button”) 412 is a button for searching up to a record in which “x (cross)” has already been entered in the input field F308 and moving to the corresponding record. is there.
An “undecided” button (hereinafter, “undetermined button”) 413 is a button for searching up to a record in which “undecided” is already input in the input field F308 and moving to the corresponding record. .
That is, the circle button 410, the schedule button 411, the cross button 412 and the undetermined button 413 are buttons for searching the contents of the input field F308 and moving the detailed display area 404 to the corresponding record.

This is a “move button” for moving the record displayed in the display area 403.
In addition to this “move button”, there are four buttons, “○ (circle)”, “Preliminary (planned)”, “× (cross)”, and “Undecided” on the lower left side of the detail display area 404. An input button 414 is provided. That is, when any one of the buttons is pressed, a value corresponding to the pressed button is input to the input field F308 of the input table 107.

The detail display area 404 has three display areas.
In the first area A415, the contents of the list display field F303 of the display table 102 are displayed.
In the second area A416, the contents of the detail display field F304 of the display table 102 are displayed.
In the third area A417, the contents of the input field F308 of the input table 107 are displayed.

FIG. 5 shows a search window.
The search window 502 sorts the values of the search field F305 of all records, and displays the search result as a search key selection button 503 with duplicates removed. When one of the search key selection buttons 503 is selected with a pointing device such as a mouse constituting the input unit 106 and an “OK” button 504 is pressed, a search key that is the content of the button selected in the search field F305 is displayed. A search is performed assuming that is set.

  The circle button 410, the schedule button 411, the cross button 412 and the undecided button 413 in FIG. 4 and the search key selection button 503 in FIG. 5 search the contents described in the buttons, respectively, and move to the record hit in the search. This is a button for searching, that is, a “search button”.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an overall operation flow of the data input device 101.
When the process is started (S601), first, the input / output control unit 103 initializes two variables held therein. That is, both the current record number and the temporary record number are initialized to “1” (S602). Then, the display process described later with reference to FIG. 7 is performed using the initialized variables (S603).

Subsequent processing is loop processing.
After the display process, the input / output control unit 103 waits for input of a command from the input unit 106 (S604).
If the input command is a record movement command (Y in S605), the input / output control unit 103 performs a designated skip number movement process, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 8 (S606).
If the input command is not a record move command (N in S605) and is a search command (Y in S607), the input / output control unit 103 performs a search process described later with reference to FIG. 9 (S608).
If the input command is not a record movement command (N in S605) and is not a search command (N in S607), the input / output control unit 103 performs input processing described later with reference to FIG. This is performed (S609).
Then, the input / output control unit 103 checks whether the current record number has reached the record end of the input table 107 (S610). If all the records in the input table 107 have been processed, the process ends (S611).

  The maximum value of the current record number and the temporary record number is the number of records in the input table 107. That is, the main routine is a process for each record in the input table 107, and the movement of the record is a movement based on the input table 107.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of the display process. This corresponds to step S603 in FIG.
When the process is started (S701), the input / output control unit 103 compares the temporary record number held therein with the current record number.
If the temporary record number matches the current record number (Y in S702), the input / output control unit 103 indicates that the current record in the input table 107 indicated by the temporary record number and the display table 102 corresponding thereto are displayed. The contents of the record are displayed in the detail display area 404 (S703).

  Specifically, first, the input / output control unit 103 reads the contents of the association field F307 from the record of the record number in the input table 107 indicated by the temporary record number. Then, the input / output control unit 103 reads the record of the linking field F302 corresponding to the content of the linking field F307 in the display table 102, that is, having the same value. Then, the input / output control unit 103 passes the read field to the display control unit 104. The display control unit 104 displays the contents in the detail display area 404.

If the current record number is larger than the temporary record number (N in S702 to Y in S704), the input / output control unit 103 displays the contents of the record in the input table 107 indicated by the temporary record number and the corresponding display table. The contents of the record 102 are displayed in the upper part of the list display area 403 (S705).
If the current record number is smaller than the temporary record number (N in S702 to N in S704), the input / output control unit 103 displays the contents of the record in the input table 107 indicated by the temporary record number and the corresponding display table. The contents of the record 102 are displayed in the lower part of the list display area 403 (S706).

  The specific contents of the processes in steps S705 and S706 are common. First, the input / output control unit 103 reads the contents of the association field F307 from the record of the record number in the input table 107 indicated by the temporary record number. Then, the input / output control unit 103 reads the record of the corresponding linking field F302 of the display table 102. Then, the input / output control unit 103 passes the contents of the read field to the display control unit 104. The display control unit 104 displays the contents in the list display area 403.

  That is, by looking at the relationship between the temporary record number and the current record number, any one of the three display processes of steps S703, S705, and S706 is necessarily performed.

  After a series of display processing is performed by the display control unit 104, the input / output control unit 103 next increments the temporary record number by 1 (S707). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the temporary record number has reached the end of the input table (S708). If it is not the termination, the input / output control unit 103 continues the process (S702), and if it is the termination, the process is terminated (S709).

FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the designated skip number movement process. This corresponds to step S606 in FIG.
When the process is started (S801), the input / output control unit 103 first substitutes the current record number for a temporary variable held therein (S802).
Next, the input / output control unit 103 adds the designated skip number corresponding to the button pressed by the operation of the input unit 106 to the temporary variable (S803). Then, it is confirmed whether or not the value of the temporary variable is a record number existing in the input table 107 (S804). If it is an existing record (Y in S804), the input / output control unit 103 updates the current record number to the value of the temporary variable (S805), performs the display process of FIG. 7 (S806), and ends (S807).
If the record does not exist (N in S804), the input / output control unit 103 does nothing and ends the series of processes (S807).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the search process. This corresponds to step S608 in FIG.
When the process is started (S901), the input / output control unit 103 confirms whether or not the input button is a menu display button, that is, a diamond button 405 (S902). If the menu display button has been pressed (Y in S902), the input / output control unit 103 commands the display control unit 104 to display the search window 502 (S903). Then, a selection input by operating the input unit 106 is awaited (S904). When the input is made, the input / output control unit 103 instructs the display control unit 104 to delete the display of the search window 502 (S905).
If a search button other than the menu display button is pressed in step S902 (N in S902), the display window 502 and the like are not displayed by the display control unit 104. At this point, the search key and search target field are determined.

  Next, the input / output control unit 103 searches the record after the current record number in the input table 107 and the corresponding record in the display table 102 corresponding to the search target field using the search key described above ( S906). If there is a record hit in the search (Y in S907), the input / output control unit 103 updates the current record number to the number of the record hit in the search (S908), and performs the display process of FIG. 7 (S909). Is finished (S910).

If there is no hit in the search in step S907 (N in S907), the input / output control unit 103 searches the range from the first record of the input table 107 to the current record number (S911). If there is a record hit in the search (Y in S912), the input / output control unit 103 updates the current record number to the number of the record hit in the search (S908), and performs the display process of FIG. 7 (S909). Is finished (S910).
If there is no hit in the search in step S912 (N in S912), the input / output control unit 103 commands the display control unit 104 to display a warning message indicating that it was not found on the display unit 105 (S913) and waits for input ( S914). If there is an input, the input / output control unit 103 instructs the display control unit 104 to delete the warning display displayed on the display unit 105 (S915), and ends the process (S910).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the input process. This corresponds to step S609 in FIG.
When the process is started (S1001), the input / output control unit 103 confirms whether the data input from the input unit 106 is a check target value (S1002). If the input data is the value to be checked, the input / output control unit 103 next checks whether the value of the operation control field F306 is true, that is, whether the flag to be checked is set ( S1003).
If the value of the operation control field F306 is true (Y in S1003), the input / output control unit 103 instructs the display control unit 104 to display an error message on the display unit 105 (S1004) and waits for input. (S1005). When input is made from the input unit 106, the input / output control unit 103 instructs the display control unit 104 to delete the error message displayed on the display unit 105 (S1006), and ends the processing (S1007).

In step S1002, if the data input from the input unit 106 is not a check target value (N in S1002), or if the value of the operation control field F306 is false in step S1003 (N in S1003), input / output The control unit 103 writes the data input from the input unit 106 in the input field F308 of the record indicated by the current record number in the input table 107 (S1008).
Next, the input / output control unit 103 increments the current record number by 1 (S1009), performs the display process of FIG. 7 (S1010), and ends the process (S1007).

There is a reason why it is determined in step S1002 and step S1003 whether or not to check the input data.
There may be answers to questions that are not allowed to be selected. For example, in a question asking whether or not information security measures are being implemented, a question that must be fulfilled is indicated as “× (X)”, indicating that neither the performance nor the future implementation is planned. "" Is not allowed. In the input process of FIG. 10, a flag is set for such an essential selection item, and selection of “x” is prohibited. That is, in the record of the question in the display table 102, the operation control field F306 is “true”, and an answer to the question in this record (the contents of the detail display field F304) is “ Even if “x” is pressed, the detailed display area 404 does not advance to the next record. If a button other than “x” is pressed among the input buttons 414, the current record number is advanced by 1 (S1009), and the detailed display area 404 is advanced to the next record (S1010).

As described above, the input / output control unit 103 holds a variable called a current record number therein.

In FIG. 13B, the detail display area 404 displays the second record, and the list display area 403 displays the first, third, and fourth records.
In FIG. 13C, the detail display area 404 displays the fourth record, and the list display area 403 displays the second and third records. The first record protrudes from the window 402 and becomes invisible.
Each time a record to be displayed is advanced from FIG. 13A to FIG. 13C, the detailed display area 404 remains in the center of the web browser window and does not scroll. Conversely, the list display area 403 scrolls up from the bottom to the top, as can be seen by looking at the scroll bar at the right end of the window 402.

  In other words, the scroll target may be either the detail display area 404 or the list display area 403. The arrangement of the list display area 403 and the detail display area 404 is a relative relationship, and it is up to the designer to scroll which one is scrolled.

  (3) The display table 102 and the input table 107 can be integrated. A display table including records for all questions is provided on the server side in advance. When a user inputs a questionnaire, only a record for a necessary question is extracted based on various conditions that the user has input so far, and a new display / input table is created. This is transmitted to the client used by the user, and the user uses the display / input table through the program.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, a button for inputting data is provided in the detail display area. That is, only a predetermined value was selected. However, an input field can be provided to input an arbitrary numerical value or character string.

  (5) Similarly, in the above-described embodiment, a button for searching is provided in the detail display area. That is, only a predetermined value was selected. However, it is also possible to provide a search input field and input an arbitrary numerical value, character string, etc., and search based on the value.

In the present embodiment, the data input device 101 and the data input system 201 have been disclosed.
When asking questions that require the user to read and input long sentences, many questions are displayed roughly in list form in the list display area 403, and each question is a separate detail. The display area 404 is displayed, and an answer can be input while reading the explanatory text. As a result, the input form of the database can be expanded while the input form layout is kept in a simple format, and appropriate input work can be performed efficiently.

The data input device 101 and the data input system 201 according to the present embodiment can allow the user to read detailed sentences for each question in the detailed display area 404 and the progress of input work in the list display area 403. Since the situation is known at a glance, it is ideal for questionnaires and quizzes that give learning effects.
