  When the applicant operates the applicant terminal 21 to connect to a predetermined application site managed by the management server 22 via the network N, an initial screen 51 shown in FIG. 8 is displayed on the monitor 21a of the applicant terminal 21. When “Create Application” is selected by the applicant, pre-application processing is started. In the pre-application process, first, an input screen display process is performed in step S101 of FIG. In this process, as illustrated in FIG. 9, an application information input screen 52 for inputting application information is displayed on the monitor 21 a of the applicant terminal 21.

  In this embodiment, for example, “name”, “address”, and “birth date” are set as input items for inputting application information. Among these, “name” and “birth date” are input. It is set as a required item. Therefore, in the application information input screen 52, an input area 52a for inputting information on “name”, “address” and “birth date” in the vicinity of the display of “name”, “address” and “birth date”. ~ 52c are displayed. By moving the cursor C to any one of these input areas 52a to 52c, it becomes possible to input information corresponding to the keyboard operation at the applicant terminal 21 in the input area. In addition, the application information input screen 52 displays button displays for selecting (clicking) “upload application information”, “return”, “cancel”, and “go to confirmation screen” which will be described later.

  When the application information input screen 52 is displayed as described above, it is determined in step S103 whether upload of application information has been selected. Here, as will be described later, when the application information has been downloaded to the applicant terminal 21 by the pre-application process before the previous time and “upload application information” of the applicant terminal 21 is selected by the applicant, the process proceeds to step S103. Yes. Subsequently, in step S105, a target file designation dialog display process is performed, and the application information downloaded to the applicant terminal 21 is displayed for each file. When the applicant selects the target file (S107), input information setting processing is performed in step S109, and the application information of the selected file is uploaded and set in the corresponding input areas 52a to 52c and displayed. Is done.

  The application information uploaded as described above is set and displayed in each of the input areas 52a to 52c, or the application information is input to each of the input areas 52a to 52c according to the operation of the applicant without uploading the application information. If it is done (S111), in response to the click of the “go to confirmation screen” button by the applicant (S113), it is determined in step S115 whether or not there is an error in the input item. Here, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 10, when a “go to confirmation screen” button is clicked in a state where a future date is input to the input region 52 c of “birth date”, an input item is displayed. It is determined that there is an error, Yes in step S115. In step S117, an error content display process is performed. At this stage, a dialog 52d indicating the error content is displayed on the application information input screen 52 as illustrated in FIG. This prompts the applicant to correct the input information. The applicant terminal 21 may correspond to an example of “application side input means” described in the claims.

  On the other hand, if there is no error in the information input in each of the input areas 52a to 52c (No in S115), it is determined in step S119 whether or not the input mandatory item is not input. Here, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 11, the “to confirmation screen” button is clicked in a state where no information to be input is input in the input area 52 c of “birth date” which is an input-required item. Then, it is determined as Yes in step S119, assuming that this input-required item is an uninput item.

  In step S121, a next screen transition confirmation dialog display process is performed. In this process, a dialog 52e for confirming the transition to the next screen is displayed on the application information input screen 52 as illustrated in FIG. This prompts the user to decide whether or not to proceed to the next work. Here, when “No” in the dialog 52e is clicked in order to input an input required item determined that the applicant has not been input, it is determined as No in step S123 and waits for information input by the applicant. become.

  In step S119 described above, if it is determined No because all the input-required items have been input, a confirmation screen display process is performed in step S125 of FIG. In this process, as illustrated in FIG. 12, an application information confirmation screen 53 for confirming the input application information is displayed on the monitor 21 a of the applicant terminal 21. In step S123 described above, if the applicant clicks “Yes” in the dialog 52e in order to proceed to the next operation without inputting the required entry items, the confirmation screen display process is performed. Made. At this stage, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the input required items that have not been input are clearly indicated on the application information confirmation screen 53, and the display color of the input area is visually compared to other input areas. The display color is changed to attract attention.

  After the application information confirmation screen 53 is displayed as described above, in order for the applicant to correct the application information displayed on the application information confirmation screen 53, the “return” displayed on the application information confirmation screen 53 by the applicant "Button is clicked (Yes in S127), the processing from step S101 is performed. On the other hand, in order to proceed with the application information displayed on the application information confirmation screen 53, when the “forward” button displayed on the application information confirmation screen 53 is clicked by the applicant (No in S127), the process proceeds to step S129. The application form numbering process is performed, and a unique application form number is assigned as identification information that is distinguished from the application forms applied by other applicants.

  Next, in step S131, application information code data creation processing is performed. In this process, code data is generated for encoding and converting the application information and the application form No. input as described above as application information code Q2 based on a predetermined rule. In the present embodiment, a QR code (registered trademark) is adopted as the application information code Q2 and the identification code Q1 described later. The means for executing step S131 may correspond to an example of “conversion means” recited in the claims.

  Subsequently, in step S133, action screen display processing is performed. In this process, as illustrated in FIG. 14, an action screen 54 for selecting the output format of the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 created based on the input application information is displayed on the monitor 21 a of the applicant terminal 21. Is displayed. In this embodiment, “display / print”, “mail transmission”, and “download” are set as output formats, and “display / print”, “mail transmission”, and “download” are displayed on the action screen 54. Button displays 54a to 54c for selecting (clicking) and a “close” button 54d for ending the pre-application process are displayed.

  Here, the “display / print” button 54 a is selected when the application paper 41 and the supplementary paper 42 are displayed in the PDF format and printed by the printer 23. The “mail transmission” button 54b is selected when an electronic text corresponding to the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 is sent to another terminal by mail. The “download” button 54c is selected when the application information input to create the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 is downloaded to the applicant terminal 21 so that it can be used for the next and subsequent applications. It is.

  In the state where the action screen 54 is displayed as described above, the determination of No is repeated in steps S135, S137, S139, and S141 until any one of the buttons 54a to 54d is clicked by the applicant. When the “display / print” button 54a is clicked by the applicant, “Yes” is determined in step S135, and an application image display / printing subroutine is executed in step S200. In this subroutine, first, in step S500 of FIG. 4, a subroutine for electronic text generation processing is executed. In this subroutine, identification code generation processing is performed in step S501 of FIG. In this process, the application form number assigned in step S129 is encoded as the identification code Q1.

  Next, in step S503, it is determined whether there is an uninput item in the application information. Here, if it is determined Yes in step S123 and the input-required items remain uninput (Yes in S503), check information output processing is performed in step S505, and the application form 41 is not yet processed. Check information for checking and displaying the input items is output for display on the format of the application form 41. Note that the means for executing step S505 may correspond to an example of “check means” recited in the claims.

  In this way, if the check information is output or there is no uninput item, if it is determined No in step S503, an identification code output process is performed in step S507, and the code is encoded in step S501. The identification code Q1 is output for display on the format of the application form 41. Next, application information output processing is performed in step S509, and the input application information is output for display on the format of the application form 41. Note that the processing from step S503 to step S509 is processing for generating an electronic text corresponding to the application form 41.

  Subsequently, in step S511, it is determined whether or not there is an uninput item in the application information. If the input mandatory item remains uninput as described above (Yes in S511), the process proceeds to step S513. Then, an uninput item name output process is performed, and if “birth date” is not input as described above, this item name is output as an uninput item name for display on the format format of the supplementary sheet 42. Then, check information output processing is performed in step S515, and check information for indicating that there is an uninput item or the like on the supplementary paper 42 is output for display on the format format of the supplementary paper 42. As described above, if an uninput item name and check information are output, or if there is no uninput item, and it is determined No in step S511, an application information code output process is performed in step S517, and step S131. The application information code Q <b> 2 generated based on the code data created in step S <b> 2 is output for display on the format of the supplementary paper 42. Note that the processing from step S511 to step S517 is processing for generating an electronic text corresponding to the supplementary paper 42.

  Next, in step S519, file name assignment processing is performed, and the default file name for saving the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 as data in PDF format is added to the “applicant name” with the creation date and time. Is granted. Specifically, for example, the default file name is given as “applicant name + creation date / time.pdf”. In step S521, an electronic text output process is performed, and the PDF format data of the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 to which the file names are assigned as described above is output as an electronic text, and the electronic text generation in step S500 is performed. The processing subroutine ends.

  As described above, when the electronic text generation process in step S500 of FIG. 4 is performed and the PDF format data of the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 is output as the electronic text, the electronic text display process is performed in step S201 of FIG. Made. In this process, the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 are displayed on the monitor 21a of the applicant terminal 21 in accordance with the electronic text generated as described above.

  Here, as illustrated in FIG. 15, application information corresponding to “name” and “address” is displayed on the application form 41 in accordance with the application information output in step S509. At this time, as described above, when “birth date” is an uninput item, this item is blank, and a check is made in the vicinity of the uninput item according to the check information output in step S505. A display 41a is made. The application form 41 includes an application form No. And the identification code Q1 output in step S507 are displayed.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. "Name", which is a required entry item, and its input information are displayed. In this supplementary paper 42, in order to clarify the presence or absence of an unfilled item, there is a sentence “There are unfilled items to the required items or handwritten correction items” and “unfilled items to the required items or A sentence “There is no handwritten correction item” and check boxes 42a and 42b are displayed in the vicinity of each sentence. Both of these check boxes 42a and 42b are checked and displayed. Here, when there is an uninput item as described above, a check is displayed in the check box 42a according to the check information output in step S515. In addition, in the supplementary paper 42, in order to clarify the target of the non-input item, the name of the non-input item output in step S513 is specified in the predetermined description column 42c. Further, the supplementary paper 42 displays the application information code Q2 output in step S517.

  Next, the reception process executed by the reception unit 30 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 17 and 18 are flowcharts illustrating the flow of the receipt issuance process in the receiving process executed by the receiving unit 30. FIG. FIG. 19 is a part of a flowchart illustrating the flow of the visa issuing process in the receiving process executed by the receiving unit 30. FIG. 20 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an application information confirmation / correction screen 55 displayed on the reception terminal 31 in the visa issuing process. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a state in which an uninput item is clearly indicated on the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 of FIG.

  The reception process in this embodiment includes a receipt issuance process for issuing a receipt 43 to the applicant and a visa issuance process for issuing a visa 44 to the applicant. In the reception process, in order to use the existing reception system conventionally used in the reception terminal 31, the reception process is simplified by reading the existing reception system, the identification code Q1, and the application information code Q2. To be used together with a new linkage system. Here, the existing reception system is a reception system for receiving application documents corresponding to the application form 41 excluding the application form No. and the identification code Q1. That is, in the existing reception system, application information, visa issuance data, and the like are accumulated when the reception person manually inputs the application information described in the application document.

  First, the receipt issuing process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. When the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 created as described above are submitted to the receptionist by the applicant in the state where the existing reception system and the cooperation system described above in Steps S601 and 603 are activated, In response to the operation of the code reader 32 by the acceptor, an information code reading process is performed in step S605. If the reading of the information code is successful and the read information code is the identification code Q1, “Yes” is determined in step S607.

  If the information code read by the code reader 32 is not the identification code Q1, or if reading of the information code has failed, it is determined No in step S607. In step S609, warning display processing is performed. For example, a display such as “Please read the information code displayed on the application form” is displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31, and the reception person is identified. The reading work of the code Q1 is prompted, and the processing from step S605 is performed. The reception terminal 31 and the monitor 31a may correspond to an example of “reception side display unit” recited in the claims.

  After the identification code Q1 is read as described above, an information code reading process is performed in step S611 in accordance with the operation of the code reader 32 by the acceptor. If the reading of the information code is successful and the read information code is the application information code Q2, “Yes” is determined in step S613. If the information code read by the code reader 32 is not the application information code Q2, or if reading of the information code fails, it is determined No in step S613. In step S615, a warning display process is performed. For example, a message such as “Please read the information code displayed on the supplementary sheet” is displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31, and application information is provided to the receptionist. The reading of the work code Q2 is prompted, and the processing from step S611 is performed.

  When the application information code Q2 is read as described above, in step S617, it is included in the application code No. of the identification code Q1 read in step S605 and the application information code Q2 read in step S611. It is determined whether or not the application form number to be matched. Here, when both do not correspond, it determines with it being a combination of the incorrect application paper 41 and the supplementary paper 42, and it determines with No in step S617. Then, a warning process is performed in step S619. For example, “Application form No. does not match. Check the combination of application form and supplementary form, and read the information code on the application form and supplementary form again”. The display is displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31, prompting the receptionist to reconfirm the combination of the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42, and the process from step S605 is performed.

  On the other hand, when the application form No. of the identification code Q1 read at step S605 matches the application form No. included in the application information code Q2 read at step S611, at step S617. It is determined as Yes. Next, a receipt issuance button display process is performed in step S621 in FIG. 18, and a receipt issuance button for issuing a receipt 43 is displayed on the monitor 31a of the receiving terminal 31. When the acceptor clicks the receipt issuance button (S623), a receipt generation process is performed in step S625, and a receipt 43 having a predetermined format is generated. Subsequently, a receipt issuance process is performed in step S627, and the receipt 43 is printed by the printer 33.

  The receipt 43 printed and issued in this way is handed over to the applicant who has submitted the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 as proof that the application form has been received. Further, in the reception terminal 31, the application form number from which the receipt is issued is stored together with information such as the date.

  Next, the visa issuing process will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This visa issuance process is a process performed on the application form 41 and supplementary form 42 of the application form No. for which the receipt is issued as described above. In the visa issuing process, first, the process from step S601 of FIG. 17 is performed as described above, and if the application forms No. of the read application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 match, it is determined Yes in step S617. .

  Next, in step S631 of FIG. 19, application information set processing is performed. In this process, as shown in FIG. 20, the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 for confirming / correcting the application information displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31 is read in step S611. Application information obtained by decoding the application information code Q2 is set and displayed in the corresponding input areas 55a to 55c. The input areas 55a to 55c on the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 correspond to the input areas 52a to 52c on the application information input screen 52 described above.

  At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 20, when an uninput item is not included in the application information code Q <b> 2 (No in S <b> 633), the reception information is confirmed by the acceptor (S <b> 639), and a predetermined examination is performed. After that, the “issue visa” button displayed on the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 is clicked (S641). Thereby, a visa generation process is performed in step S643, and data for issuing the visa 44 is generated. In step S645, a visa issuance process is performed, and the visa 44 is printed and issued by the printer 33. Note that the visa issuance process may be performed only on the application form 41 and the supplementary form 42 of the application form No. that has undergone the predetermined examination.

  On the other hand, if an uninput item is included in the application information code Q2 (Yes in S633), an uninput item name display process is performed in step S635. In this process, in order to clearly indicate an uninput item, the item name of the uninput item is displayed in a predetermined description column 55d of the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 as illustrated in FIG. In step S637, an uninput item display change process is performed. In this process, in order to make the uninput items more clear, as shown in FIG. 21, the display color of the input area corresponding to the uninput items is changed to a display color that visually draws attention to other input items. Is displayed. In the uninput item display change process, the cursor C indicating the input position with respect to the input area is displayed in the input area where the display color has been changed so as to be inputable.

  Here, as described above, when the information related to “birth date” is not entered, “birth date is not entered” is displayed in the predetermined entry field 55d, and “birth date” is displayed. The display color of the corresponding input area 55c is displayed in, for example, a gray color unlike the normal color, and the cursor C is displayed in the input area 55c (see FIG. 21).

  In this way, the unacknowledged items are clearly indicated so that the acceptor can grasp the unentered items, and the acceptor confirms the application information handwritten on the application form 41. Application information is input as additional information to an input area corresponding to an uninput item on the correction screen 55 (S639). The reception terminal 31 may correspond to an example of “reception side input means” and “reception processing means” recited in the claims.

  Thereby, even when application information having an uninput item is information-coded as the application information code Q2, the application information can be smoothly received without causing shortage of application information. In particular, the application form 41 according to the present embodiment is configured simply by displaying the application form number and the identification code Q1 for the application form that has been used in the operation of the existing reception system. It is possible to effectively utilize the existing reception system simply by making a new reception object.

  As described above, in the application system 10 according to the present embodiment, the application unit 20 is an applicant terminal 21 for an applicant to input application information into a plurality of input items, and checks for uninput items. When the input application information and the non-input item are checked, the applicant terminal 21 converts the non-input item into the application information code Q2, the application information and the application information code Q2 are converted into the application form 41 and And a printer 23 that prints and displays the supplementary paper 42. The accepting means 30 displays a code reader 32 that reads the application information code Q2 displayed on the supplementary sheet 42, information acquired by reading the application information code Q2, and displays uninput items. In this case, the reception terminal 31 allows the receiver to input additional information for this uninput item, based on the application information acquired by the code reader 32 and the additional information when the additional information is input. A reception terminal 31 that performs reception processing.

Thereby, in the reception means 30, the application information etc. are acquired by reading the application information code Q2 displayed on the supplementary paper 42 with the code reader 32, and the above reception processing can be carried out smoothly. In particular, even if the application information having an uninput item in the application means 20 is converted into the application information code Q2, the acceptor is determined by the uninput item displayed on the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31. Since the input of additional information is urged, it is possible to suppress a shortage of application information at the time of reception processing due to information coding of uninput items.
Therefore, even when there is an uninput item in the application information, it is possible to create the application information code Q2 and read the application information code Q2 so that the application information can be accepted after grasping the uninput item.

  Further, in the application system 10 according to the present embodiment, the information acquired by reading the application information code Q2 by the code reader 32 on the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31. Based on this, the presence / absence of an uninput item is displayed in the description column 55d (S635), so the input of additional information by the receiver is surely prompted. The shortage can be reliably suppressed.

  Furthermore, in the application system 10 according to the present embodiment, the display color of the information related to the unentered item is different from the other input items by the application information confirmation / correction screen 55 displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31. Because it is changed and displayed (S637), uninput items are clarified and input of additional information by the receiver is surely prompted, so lack of application information at the time of reception processing due to information coding of uninput items Can be reliably suppressed.

  Furthermore, in the application system 10 according to the present embodiment, when an uninput item is acquired by reading the application information code Q2 by the code reader 32, the application information confirmation / display displayed on the monitor 31a of the reception terminal 31 is performed. On the correction screen 55, the cursor C is moved and displayed on this non-input item. Thereby, the input of the additional information by the receptionist is prompted, and this input operation can be easily performed.

  In the application system 10 according to the present embodiment, the application document as the display medium is printed with the application form 41 on which the application information and the identification code Q1 are printed, the application form No., and the application information code Q2. Supplementary paper 42. When the application form No. of the identification code Q1 on the application form 41 matches the application form No. included in the application information code Q2 on the supplementary form 42, the above reception process is performed. As a result, as in the present embodiment, in addition to the conventional application form, when the supplementary form 42 on which the application information code Q2 is printed is applied as an application form, there are a plurality of forms relating to the application as application forms. Even in this case, it is possible to eliminate the reception process by combining the wrong application form and supplementary form by determining whether or not the application numbers match.

  Furthermore, in the application system 10 according to the present embodiment, the input application information is stored (stored) in the applicant terminal 21 by the download process in step S400, and in the input information set process in step S109, the applicant terminal 21 The application information acquired from the storage location of is configured to be diverted as application information. Thereby, when applying for the same content, it is only necessary to acquire the target application information from the storage destination of the applicant terminal 21, so that the applicant can easily input the application information.

FIG. 22 is an explanatory diagram for schematically explaining the display content of the application form 45 according to the first modification of the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 22, the application sheet 41 and the supplementary sheet 42 described above may be configured as one application sheet 45 as a first modification of the present embodiment. That is, not only the application information and the application information code Q2 are displayed on the application form 45, but also when there is an uninput item, a check display 45a is made in the vicinity of the uninput item, and a predetermined description field An uninput item name is specified in 45b. In addition, in order to clarify the presence / absence of non-input items on the application form 45, the text “There are items that have not been input to the required items or handwritten correction items” and “ "There is no handwritten correction item." And check boxes 45c and 45d are displayed in the vicinity of each sentence. If there are uninput items, a check is displayed in the check box 45c.

  Even in this case, the application information displayed on the application form 45 can be smoothly received in the reception process executed by the reception unit 30 even when there are uninput items. In this case, since there are not a plurality of application documents, the application form number need not be displayed on the application form 45. For this reason, in the reception process, the process of reading the identification code Q1 and the process of determining whether or not the application form numbers match can be omitted.

FIG. 23 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an application information confirmation / correction screen 56 according to a second modification of the present embodiment.
As a second modification of the present embodiment, since an application form 41 having a plurality of uninput items is a reception target, when a plurality of uninput items are acquired in step S611, each of these uninput items is acquired. Any of the above may be selected and the cursor C may be moved and displayed with respect to the selected non-input item. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 23, when there are two uninput items “birth date” and “phone number” on the application information confirmation / correction screen 56, the cursor C is moved to one of them. Further, as illustrated in FIG. 23, the display colors of the input areas 56c and 56d are displayed so as to be different from the normal colors, and the item names of the uninput items are displayed in a predetermined description column 56e. Thus, the acceptor can easily select an uninput item to be corrected and input additional information.

  In the second modified example, when a plurality of non-input items are acquired in step S611, the cursor may be moved from the high-priority non-input item and displayed. Specifically, when there are two unentered items of “birth date” and “phone number” on the application information confirmation / correction screen 56 as described above, “birth date” is more than “phone number”. When the priority order is set in advance, the cursor C is displayed in the input area corresponding to “birth date”. For this reason, additional information will be input from the uninput item with the high importance regarding an application by a reception person, and it can suppress reliably the lack of application information at the time of reception processing. It is assumed that the priorities are stored in advance in the memory of the reception terminal 31 or the like.

  The priority order is not limited to being stored in the memory or the like of the reception terminal 31, but may be included in the application information code Q2. In this way, since the application information code Q2 is converted so as to include information on the priority order, an unentered item having a high degree of importance regarding the application without presetting the information on the priority order to the receiving means 30 in advance. Additional information can be entered.
