  As shown in FIG. 7, the department-specific holding database 16 stores department codes assigned to all books (book numbers (parent numbers + child numbers)) stored in the departments.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the book reservation database 17 has a reservation number assigned to a book borrowing reservation, a book parent number registered for reservation, a booker name, a reservation employee number, a reservation registration date, a reservation status (reservation accepted) Or the loaned level), the required level of reservation (the urgent borrowing index indicating the degree of urgency that requires the book set by the borrower, and “1” if it is needed immediately after return. “2” is recorded when it can be transferred to a high person, and “3” is recorded when it is sufficient to borrow when there is no reservation.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the borrowing history database 18 is added each time the loan is lent according to the employee number that borrowed the book, the book parent number that is the unique number of the book, the book child number corresponding to the actual book, and the book child number. Sequence number, a book field code for determining which field the book is in, and a borrowing date are recorded.

  Here, the evaluation points in the loan history database 15, the book evaluation cumulative points in the book information child database 13, the book evaluation total points in the book information parent database 12, the book grade, and the usage score are obtained as follows.

  First, when the borrower returns after reading, the borrower's evaluation of the borrowed book is designated by 6 points (0 to 5) as useful points and profit points, and the points are input.

  The usefulness point is used to evaluate whether or not the book has been useful. For example, the usefulness point is set to 5 when it is very useful, set to 3 when normal, and set to 0 when it cannot be evaluated or when it is not useful. In addition, the profitability point is to evaluate whether the content is the purchase price of the book. For example, 5 is a very profitable value, 3 is a normal value, and a case where the evaluation is not possible or the lowest value. Set as 0.

  Evaluation points are calculated as the sum of usefulness points and profitability points. The book evaluation cumulative points are the total number of evaluation points so far for each book, and the book evaluation total points have the same identification information. It is the total numerical value of the book evaluation accumulation points of the book (a plurality of the same books).

  The book grade is a value obtained by dividing the book evaluation total points by the number of loans, that is, an average value of evaluation points per loan, and if this average value is 10, Grade A and average value is 8-9. Grade B, grade C if the average value is 6-7, grade D if the average value is 4-5, grade E if the average value is 0-3.

The usage score is a value obtained by dividing the number of loans by the number of book holdings having the same identification information, and represents the number of loans per book.
Therefore, the most desirable book is when the book grade is A and the usage score is higher than other books.

  In addition to the functions necessary for the information processing apparatus, the management server 2 includes an authentication information receiving means, a user specifying means, a recommended book extracting means, a recommended book information providing means, a ranking information extracting means, as shown in FIG.

The recommended book extracting means compares the job classification of the user specified by the user specifying means with the reader target (recommended) classification of each holding book recorded in the book information parent database 12, and finds a matching holding book. This is means for extracting as a recommended book, a book that may be selected by a user from among books that are extracted as recommended books or specified by borrowed book specifying means described later.

  As a method for extracting a book that may be selected by the user as a recommended book, the identification information of the book specified by the borrowed book specifying means is related to or the same as the identification information of the book borrowed by the user in the past. For example, a book related to a book field code or a book with the same author name is extracted, or book evaluation information (for example, book evaluation total points, book grade, usage score, etc.) is extracted. Based on this, books with high evaluation are extracted.

  The recommended book information providing means is a means for providing information on the extracted recommended books to the user, and a recommended book information transmitting means for transmitting information on the extracted recommended books to the user terminal, or extraction. The recommended book information storage unit stores information on the recommended book in the user database 11 as a message to the user.

  The ranking information extraction unit is a unit that extracts the latest ranking information that the user has accessed the management server 2 based on the ranking information database 14. For example, each ranking information index (book) in the book information parent database 12 Ranking information is extracted for each evaluation total point, book grade, and usage score.

  The ranking information providing means is means for providing the extracted ranking information to the user, and provides ranking information for each index of the evaluation information or ranking information that integrates each index of the evaluation information.

  Based on the loan history database 15, the borrowed book identifying means identifies other users who borrowed the same book as the book borrowed by the user in the past, and identifies the book borrowed in the past by the identified other user. It is means to do.

  The borrowing hope book information receiving means is means for receiving information on a book that is desired to be borrowed selected by the borrower.

  The lending status checking means is a means for checking the book information database 13 and confirming whether or not the holding book desired to be borrowed is lent.

  The borrowing reservation setting requesting means is a means for requesting setting of a borrowing reservation of a book to be borrowed when it is confirmed by the lending status confirmation means that the book to be borrowed is loaned.

  The grouping means is a grouping means for grouping books held based on the book information parent database 12. For example, the book information parent database 12 is sequentially read, and the target books are classified according to the grade, title, age group, and specific department of the target audience. Grouping.

  The recommended book selection request unit is a unit that transmits a grouped result and requests the administrator to select a recommended book.

The user extraction means includes a reader target category of the recommended book selected by the administrator and user attribute information recorded in the user database 11 (that is, job category, title, department code, date of birth). Is a means for extracting the users whose IDs match.
The discard target book extracting means is a means for extracting the discard target book when the user is an administrator.

  The discarded book selection request means is a means for requesting the administrator to select a discarded book from the discarded books extracted by the discarded book extraction means.

  The newly purchased book information receiving unit is a unit that receives information related to the newly purchased book input via the user terminal 1.

  The newly purchased book recording means is means for recording the received information on the newly purchased book in the departmental holding database 16.

  The newly purchased book information distribution unit is a unit that creates and distributes information on a newly purchased book recorded in the departmental holding database 16 for each department every predetermined period.

  Same field code user identification means identifies a user whose book field code is the same as the book field code of a newly purchased book, based on the desired field code in the user database 11. It is means to do.

  The newly purchased book information notifying means is means for storing the purchase information of the newly purchased book in the user database 11 as a message for the user specified by the same field code user specifying means.

  In FIG. 10, an example of an operation process of the in-house book management system according to the present invention is shown as a flowchart. Hereinafter, an example of an operation process of the system will be described based on this flowchart.

  The processing example shown here is used by supplying a control program that can be read by the server via a storage medium such as a ROM chip or a CD-ROM, or by distributing it via a network. It is performed by installing the user terminal 1 or the management server 2 and executing the installed control program.

  When a user (a borrower, a manager, a new book purchaser) accesses the management server 2 from the user terminal 1 (step S01), the management server 2 receives this and displays it on the screen of the user terminal 1. A login screen for specifying the user is displayed (step S02).

  In response to this, the user selects a user type (separate applicant, administrator, new book purchaser) from the user terminal 1 and inputs authentication information such as an ID and a password (step S03). . Upon receiving this authentication information, the management server 2 queries the user database 11 (step S04), and determines whether or not the user who has accessed from the user database 11 can be specified based on the received authentication information. (Step S05) If it cannot be specified, the login is rejected and the processing of the present system is terminated (Step S06). On the other hand, when the accessing user can be identified, access (login) by the user is permitted (step S07).

Thereafter, the management server 2 determines the type of the accessed user (by borrowing applicant, administrator, or new book purchaser) (step S08), and the user who has accessed the management server 2 is the borrowing applicant. If it is determined that there is a book, a recommended book is extracted from the in-house book (step S09), and information on the extracted recommended book is provided to the user (a borrower) (step S10). .
There are various modes for extracting the recommended books and providing them to the user. For example, processing examples as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 can be adopted.
In the example shown in FIG. 11, first, from the attribute information of the borrower who is recorded in the user database 11, the job classification (“department code”, “grade”, “position”, “birth date”) Day ") is inquired (step S101).

  Next, the book information parent database 12 is read sequentially, the “reader target (recommended) category” is referred to, and the book that matches the job category determined in the user database is necessary for viewing the borrower's business in order to perform the business. Is extracted as a recommended book that is high (want to be read) (step S102).

  Specifically, recommended books are extracted as shown in FIG. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 12 (a), the reader target (recommended) classification of the book information parent database 12 of a certain holding book has a grade of 4 or higher, a title is a chief or higher, and an age of 20s to Assume that you are in your 40s and the specific department is only the Human Resources Development Headquarters. In this case, the job classification (department code, grade, job title, age group) of the user database 11 that matches the reader target (recommended) classification of this book is two employee numbers 001234 and 002233. This book is recommended for human employees. On the other hand, the employee of employee number 098776 does not recommend this book because the department is not the target department. In addition, the employee whose employee number is 020321 is out of the scope, so this book is not recommended.

  Further, in the example shown in FIG. 12B, the reader target (recommended) classification of the book information parent database 12 of a certain holding book is a grade of 1st to 3rd grade, a title is a general job, and an age group is Without limitation, it is assumed that the specific department covers the entire company. In this case, there are three job categories (department code, grade, job title, age group) in the user database that match the reader target (recommended) category of this book, employee numbers 099884, 098776, and 020458. The book is recommended for three employees. On the other hand, the employee of employee number 002233 does not recommend this book because the grade and job title are out of range.

In the example shown in FIG. 12C, it is assumed that the reader target (recommended) classification of the book information parent database of a certain book is all employees. In this case, this book is recommended for all employees.
Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 12D, it is assumed that there is no record in the reader target (recommended) category item for the possessed books. In this case, this book is not recommended for any employee.

  When the user and the book to be recommended are linked as described above, and the recommended book is extracted for a specific user, the management server 2 displays the extracted book as a recommended book in a list display format. Is transmitted to the user terminal 1 (step S103).

  In the example shown in FIG. 13, the job classification of the applicant for borrowing is inquired from the attribute information of the applicant for borrowing recorded in the user database 11 in the same manner as described above (step S <b> 101), and the book information parent database 12. Are sequentially read, referring to the “reader target (recommended) category”, extracting a book that matches the job category referred to the user database (step S102), and then referring to the ranking information database 14 (step S104), The latest ranking information accessed by the user is extracted from the possessed books (step S105).

  The ranking information may be created in advance by batch processing or the like, or may be created as a virtual database during the processing. As the ranking information, the latest ranking information for each index of “book grade”, “usage score”, and “number of loans” in the book information parent database 12 is extracted.

  Then, the books extracted in step S102 are displayed as recommended books in a list display format, and transmitted to the user terminal 1 together with the ranking information extracted in step S105 (step S106). At this time, the ranking information may be transmitted by transmitting the ranking information for each extracted index or by transmitting the ranking information that combines the three indices.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, the borrowing history database 18 is referred to (step S111), and based on the book parent number in the borrowing history database 18, a book borrowed by the borrower in the past is specified (step S112). The loan history database 15 in which the same “book parent No.” or “book child No.” as the book borrowed by the borrower in the past is recorded, and the “name of borrower” in the loan history database 15 or With reference to the “employee number”, another user who has borrowed the same book as the book borrowed by the borrower in the past is specified (step S113). Thereafter, the borrowing history database 18 of another identified user is identified, and based on the borrowing history database 18, a book borrowed in the past by another user is identified (step S114), and the book information parent database 12 is stored. Refer to (step S115), and from among the books borrowed in the past by other specified users, a book that is highly likely to be selected by the user (the borrower) is extracted as a recommended book (step S116). The extracted book information is transmitted to the user terminal (step S117).
For the extraction of books that are highly likely to be selected by the user (the borrower), for example, the book information parent database 12 is referred to, and a “book field code” that is highly relevant to books that the user has borrowed in the past is selected. A book having the same name or the same “author name” is extracted. Further, a book with high evaluation may be extracted by referring to “the number of loans”, “book grade”, and “usage score”.

  For example, the borrowing history database of Taro Yamada of “Employee No. 12345”, the borrowing history database of Ichiro Suzuki of “Employee No. 29976”, and the borrowing history database of Hanako Sato of “Employee No. 35421” are shown in FIG. Assuming that the book information parent database 12, the book information child database 13, and the loan history database 15 are as shown in FIG. 16, in step S111, the user's The borrowing history DB of “Employee No. 12345 Taro Yamada” is referred to, and in step S112, the book information borrowed in the past is referred to, and the book is specified. At this time, assuming that there are many corresponding books, the book field code and the desired field code are among the books borrowed within three months from the date of processing of this system (for example, December 15, 2008). In this example, no. The book 1321-15 (parent number-child number) is specified.

Thereafter, in step S113, the identified book No. The lending history database 15 is searched using the 1321-15 as a key, and the same book No. Other lending history DBs are specified. At this time, the same book No. If there is no data other than Taro Yamada in the lending history DB, another booklet No. The lending history DB is specified. In this example, the same book No. 1321-15 SEQ No. 22 and 23 are specified (lending history DB (2) and (3)). Then, other users (employee No. 29976 No. Ichiro Suzuki and employee No. 35421 Hanako Sato) who have borrowed the same book are specified from the loan history DBs (2) and (3).
At this time, if a large number of other specified users are expected to be extracted, it may be limited to those who have the same desired field code and job classification.
Thereafter, in step S114, the borrowing history DB of Ichiro Suzuki and Hanako Sato is searched to identify other books borrowed in the past. In this example, the book No. 303-5 (a of borrowing history DB), book No. 87-2 (b), and book No. 413-12 (c) are specified.

Next, in steps 115 and 116, the book information parent DBs of the identified books No. 303-5, No. 87-2, and No. 413-12 are searched to determine whether or not the conditions of the recommended books are met. Here, various conditions such as a classification code, a book field code, and the number of loans can be set as the recommendation target condition. In this specific example, it is a condition that the desired field codes match and that the book grade is C or higher.
First, book no. 303-5 (a) is excluded because the book field code is different from the desired field code (61 ≠ 88, 95, 101). Book No. 87-2 (b) and Book No. 413-12 (c) have the same book field code and a book grade of C or higher, but book No. 87-2 (b) and parent No. However, Taro Yamada has already read the same book No. 87-3 (b ′), so it is excluded. And book No. 413-12 (c) is extracted as a recommended book.
In step 117, the parent No. 413 of the book extracted as described above is transmitted to Taro Yamada.

  When the list display and the ranking information of the transmitted recommended books are displayed on the user terminal 1 through the above-described steps S09 and S10, the user (borrowing applicant) borrows through the user terminal 1. A desired book is selected (step S11). At this time, the borrower selects a recommended book transmitted from the management server 2 or a book desired to be borrowed elsewhere, and returns borrowed book information to the management server 2.

  When receiving the book information desired to be borrowed, the management server 2 refers to the book information child database 13 (step S12), confirms the child status code of the book information child database 13 (step S13), and then the borrowed book is It is determined whether or not it is lent (step S14).

  As a result, if it is determined that the book to be borrowed is not lent out, it can be lent, so the book is registered for rent (step S15), and each database such as the book information database 13 is updated. (Step S16), and then the processing of this system is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S14 that the book to be borrowed is lent out, a borrowing reservation screen is displayed on the user terminal 1 (step S17). The book borrowing reservation information is input via the person terminal 1 and transmitted to the management server 2 (step S18). In response to this, the management server 2 updates each database such as the book reservation database 17 (step S16), and then ends the processing of this system.

  The above is the processing when the user is a borrower, but if it is determined that the user who has accessed the management server 2 is the administrator, the management processing by the administrator is determined (step S21), in the case of guiding recommended books, the book information in the book information parent database 12 is sequentially read, and the in-house books are classified according to the grade (hierarchy), title, age group, and identification of the target (recommended) category. Grouping is performed for each department (step S22). Then, the grouped list is displayed on the administrator's user terminal 1 (step S23), and in response to this, the administrator selects a book to be recommended from the grouped list display (step S24).

  The management server 2 identifies a user whose reader target (recommended) category in the book information parent database 12 matches the job category in the user database 11 for the selected book (step S25), and the user In response to this, the information obtained from the book information parent database 12 and the message indicating “provide recommended book information” are stored in the user database 11 as necessary information (step S26) and provided. To be displayed on the next login. Note that, among the users identified in step S25, if there is a lending record of a book recommended in the lending history DB, it is assumed that the book has already been read, and the recommended information is stored for the user. You may not make it. The provision of necessary information to the user may be transmitted to the user terminal by e-mail.

  On the other hand, if the management process by the administrator is the disposal of the book in step S21, the book information parent database 12 and the book information child database 13 are inquired (step S27), and the book to be discarded is displayed. (Step S28). For display of books to be discarded, refer to, for example, “book grade” and “usage score” in the book information parent database, and books with extremely low values or books that have not been lent out for a certain period from the last return date are displayed. You may make it display as a discard object. In addition, referring to the “purchase date” in the book information child database, a book whose numerical value such as “usage score” in the book information parent database 12 is extremely low and for which a predetermined date has passed since the purchase date, You may make it display as a discard object.

When the administrator selects a discarded book from the displayed books to be discarded (step S29), the management server 2 records the fact that the book is discarded in each database (step S30). Thereafter, a list of books to be discarded is created and distributed (step S31), the books to be discarded are guided to the user, and it is confirmed whether or not there is a user who does not wish to discard. After distributing the list of books to be discarded, it is determined whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed (step S32). After the predetermined period has elapsed, an instruction for discarding the books to be discarded is distributed to an administrator or the like. (Step S33). Therefore, after selecting a book to be discarded, the user confirms whether or not the book can be discarded, and if there is no hope that the book cannot be discarded, an instruction to discard the book is notified.
Thereafter, a list of possessed books excluding discarded books is created (step S34), this list information is distributed to the user terminal 1 of each department (step S35), and the processing of this system is performed after updating each database. The process ends (step S36).

  In contrast to the above processing, when it is determined in step S08 that the user who has accessed the management server 2 is a new book purchaser, a purchased book information input screen for inputting various information of the newly purchased book. Is displayed (step S37), and in response to this, the new book purchaser inputs various information of the newly purchased book via the user terminal 1 (step S38). And the management server 2 will perform the process which notifies the information of a newly purchased book, if the various information of the input newly purchased book is received (step S39).

  Although various modes can be adopted for this notification processing, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the management server 2 performs “book parent number”, “book child number”, “price”, When various information such as “purchasing department code” and “purchase date” is received (step S120), the book information child database 13 is newly added (step S121), and the book information parent database 12 is updated (step S122). Then, the department-specific holding database 16 is updated (step S123). Then, every time a predetermined period elapses (step S124), newly purchased books are extracted (step S125), a list of newly purchased books is created for each department (step S126), and the list information of the newly purchased books is stored in the corresponding department. (Step S127), and after updating each database, the processing of the present system is terminated (Step S128).

  As another example of the notification process, as shown in FIG. 18, when the management server 2 receives various information of the newly purchased book (step S120), based on the “book field code” of the newly purchased book, The user database 11 is searched for whether or not the same book field code exists in the desired field (“desired field code 1” to “desired field code 3”) (step S131), and the same book as the desired field code. A user with a field code is identified (step S132). Then, the registration information of the newly purchased book is acquired with reference to the book information parent database 12 (step S133), and the acquired registration information and a message indicating that the book in the contact desired field has been purchased are stored in the user database. 11 is stored in the message column of the user so that it can be seen when the user logs in next time (step S134).

Therefore, according to the above-described configuration, when the user transmits the authentication information via the user terminal 1, the management server 2 identifies the user who has accessed the management server, and the job of the identified user A book with a matching category and a reader target category of each book that is recorded in the parent database 12 is extracted as a recommended book, or another book that has been borrowed the same book that the user has borrowed in the past After identifying the user, identify the book borrowed in the past by the identified other user, extract the book that the user may select from among them as recommended books, and information on the recommended book Is sent to the user terminal 1, so it is highly necessary to browse in the work that the employee is in charge of, and it is possible to recommend a book with contents suitable for the ability of the employee, and the user's subjective To judge Since it is possible to determine the book should be viewed from an objective point of view to Razz, it becomes possible to improve the business skills of employees (users) efficiently.

  In addition, since the most recent ranking information that the user logged in is provided, it is possible to guide the books that the employee will choose, books that are popular in the company, it is possible to borrow books owned by taking into account this ranking information It becomes. This makes it possible to acquire information in a timely manner, increase the opportunities for lending books to employees and users, and make effective use of the books that are held.

  In addition, the administrator selects a recommended book based on the result of grouping the possessed books, and selects it for the user whose reader target category of the selected recommended book matches the user's attribute information. It is possible to provide information on recommended books that have been viewed, so that it is possible to present books that are highly necessary to be viewed from the viewpoint of business to employees. It becomes possible to improve business skills efficiently.

  Further, according to the above-described configuration, when the user is an administrator, the discard target book is extracted, and the administrator can select the discard book from the extracted discard target books. Is recorded in each database, it is possible to efficiently manage the disposal of unnecessary books, and it is no longer recommended that discarded books be erroneously recommended. In addition, since a list of owned books excluding regularly selected discarded books is created and distributed, it is possible to periodically check the owned books.

  Furthermore, when information on newly purchased books is received, information on newly purchased books is recorded in the departmental holding database, information on newly purchased books is periodically created and distributed by department, or newly purchased books Since the user whose book field code is the same as the book field code in the desired field code is identified and the purchase information of the newly purchased book is notified to the user, the newly purchased book is well known. It is possible to increase the number of opportunities for lending and to make effective use of newly owned books.

In the above-described configuration, in steps S103, S106, S117, etc., the configuration in which the obtained information is transmitted to the user terminal 1 is shown, but the obtained information is used as a message for the corresponding user in the user database 11. It may be stored in the server so that it can be viewed when the user logs in next time. Further, in steps S26, S134, etc., instead of storing a message for the user in the user database, information may be sent to the user by e-mail.
Furthermore, in extracting the recommended books described above, the above-described aspects may be used in combination.
