Also, in FIG. 4, information indicating “uncirculated” is allocated as an example of the circulation status information to the circulation target person IDs “003” and “006” associated with the ID “102”. It is shown.

  FIG. 4 shows information indicating “20xx / 11/15” and information indicating “20xx / 12/15” in order with respect to IDs “101” and “102” as an example of the circulation time limit information. A mode in which is assigned is shown.

  Also, in FIG. 4, as an example of the processing content information for the ID “101”, information indicating the processing content “Move from 007 to 008” is defined using the ID shown in the index DB 28. This means a process of moving the predetermined information 27 titled “Document A” from the uncirculated folder to the circulating folder.

  Also, in FIG. 4, as an example of the processing content information for the ID “101”, information indicating the processing content “add 003 and 004 as a user authorized person” is defined using the ID shown in the index DB 28. Has been. This means a process of adding “worker A” and “worker B” as authorized users of the predetermined information 27 with the title “document A”.

  Also, in FIG. 4, as an example of the processing content information for the ID “102”, information indicating the processing content “add 003 and 006 as a user authorized person” is defined using the ID shown in the index DB 28. Has been. This means a process of adding “worker A” and “worker C” as authorized users of the predetermined information 27 with the title “document B”.

  Next, as an operation of the present embodiment, a circulation destination designation process performed by the information processing apparatus 10 when the CPU 32 executes the circulation destination designation processing program 46 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step 100 of FIG. 5, the circulation destination designation screen 80 is displayed by the display unit 52 as shown in FIG. 6 as an example. In the next step 102, the designation unit 18 determines whether information is received by the receiving unit 50.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the circulation destination designation screen 80 displayed on the display unit 52. As shown in FIG. 6, on the circulation destination designation screen 80, a group name input field 80A, an ID input field 80B, a title input field 80C, a circulation time limit input field 80D, and a confirmation button 80E are displayed. The circulation destination designation screen 80 also displays a message that prompts the user of the information processing apparatus 24 to input the group name input field 80A, the ID input field 80B, the title input field 80C, and the circulation time limit input field 80D. The Here, when information is received by the receiving unit 50, the determination is affirmed by the specifying unit 18 in step 102, and the process proceeds to step 103. If the information is not received by the receiving unit 50, the determination is denied by the specifying unit 18 in step 102, and the determination in step 102 is repeated.

  In step 103, the designation unit 18 executes processing according to the information received in step 102. For example, a process is executed in which the information received in step 102 is input to the group name input field 80A, the ID input field 80B, the title input field 80C, or the circulation time limit input field 80D.

  In the next step 104, it is determined whether or not the information accepted in step 102 has been confirmed. For example, when the confirmation button 80E is pressed by an operation input performed through the reception unit 50, information currently input in the loop name input field 80A, the ID input field 80B, the title input field 80C, and the circulation time limit input field 80D. Is confirmed. That is, in step 104, if the confirm button 80E is pressed, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 106. On the other hand, if the confirm button 80E is not pressed, the determination is denied and the process returns to step 102.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, information “2-1G” indicating the group name is input to the group name input field 80A, and no information is input to the ID input field 80B. This means that a person who belongs to the group “2-1G” is designated as a reader. If the group name input field 80A is not input and an ID is input in the ID input field 80B, the person specified by the ID input in the ID input field 80B is designated as the reader. In the present embodiment, in order to avoid complications, when information is input to one of the group name input field 80A and the ID input field 80B, input to the other is prohibited (cannot be input). Adopted. Accordingly, when information is input to the group name input field 80A, input to the ID input field 80B is not permitted unless the information input to the group name input field 80A is deleted. Conversely, when information is input to the ID input field 80B, input to the group name input field 80A is not permitted unless the information input to the ID input field 80B is deleted.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, information “document A” indicating the title of the predetermined information 27 is input in the title input field 80 </ b> C. This means that the predetermined information 27 with the title input in the title input field 80C is designated as information to be circulated. In the example shown in FIG. 6, information indicating the date of “20xx / 11/15” is input in the circulation time limit input field 80D. This means that “20xx / 11/15” is designated as the circulation deadline.

  In the next step 106, the designation unit 18 determines whether or not a title is input in the title input field 80C in the above step 102. In step 106, when a title is input in the title input field 80C in step 102 described above, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 108. In step 106, if no title is input in the title input field 80C in step 102 described above, the determination is negative and the process proceeds to step 134.

  In step 108, the designation unit 18 determines whether or not title information indicating the title input in the title input field 80 </ b> C in step 102 is present in the index DB 28. In this step 108, if the title information indicating the title input in the title input field 80C in the above step 102 exists in the index DB 28, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 110. In this step 108, if the title information indicating the title input in the title input field 80C in step 102 does not exist in the index DB 28, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 134.

  In step 110, the designation unit 18 obtains the ID corresponding to the title input in the title input field 80C in step 102 from the index DB 28. For example, since the title “Document A” is input in the title input field 80C shown in FIG. 6, the ID “001” corresponding to the title information indicating the title “Document A” is acquired from the index DB 28. The

  In the next step 112, the ID acquired in step 110 is registered in the circulation rule DB 26 as a title ID. Therefore, as an example, as shown in FIG. 4, the title ID “001” is assigned to the ID “101”.

  In the next step 113, whether or not the designation unit 18 satisfies the condition that the group name is input in the group name input field 80A or the condition that the ID is input in the ID input field 80B is satisfied. Determined. If none of the conditions is satisfied in step 113, the determination is negative and the routine proceeds to step 134. If any condition is satisfied in step 113, the determination is affirmed and the routine proceeds to step 114.

  In the next step 114, the designation unit 18 determines whether or not a group name is input in the group name input field 80A. In step 114, if a group name is input in the group name input field 80A in step 102 described above, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 116. In this step 114, if the group name is not input in the group name input field 80A in the above step 102, the determination is negative and the routine proceeds to step 124.

  In step 116, the designation unit 18 determines whether or not the group name input in the group name input field 80 </ b> A in the above step 102 exists in the index DB 28. In this step 116, when the group name input to the group name input field 80A in the above step 102 exists in the index DB 28, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 118. In this step 116, if the group name input in the group name input field 80A in step 102 does not exist in the index DB 28, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 134.

  In the next step 118, the designation unit 18 obtains an ID corresponding to the group name information indicating the group name input in the group name input field 80A in the above step 102 from the index DB 28. In the next step 120, the ID acquired in step 118 is registered in the circulation rule DB 26 as the circulation target person ID. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the group name “2-1G” is entered in the group name input field 80A. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 4 as an example, IDs “003” and “004” of the members of “2-1G” are assigned to the ID “101” as the circulation target person ID.

  In the next step 124, the designation unit 18 determines whether or not the ID input in the ID input field 80 </ b> B in the above step 102 exists in the index DB 28. In step 124, if the ID input in the ID input field 80B in step 102 is present in the index DB 28, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 126. In step 124, if the ID input in the ID input field 80B in step 102 does not exist in the index DB 28, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 134.

  In the next step 126, the designation unit 18 obtains an ID corresponding to the ID input in the ID input field 80 </ b> B in the above step 102 from the index DB 28. For example, if the ID input in the ID input field 80B is “004”, “004” is acquired from the index DB. In the next step 128, the ID acquired in step 126 is registered in the circulation rule DB 26 as the circulation target person ID.

  In the next step 130, the designation unit 18 determines whether or not the circulation time limit is input in the circulation time limit input field 80 </ b> D in the above step 102. In step 130, if the circulation time limit is entered in the circulation time limit input field 80D in step 102 above, the determination is affirmed and the routine proceeds to step 132. In step 130, if the circulation time limit is not entered in the circulation time limit input field 80D in the above step 102, the determination is denied and the circulation destination designation process is terminated. In the next step 132, the circulation deadline input in the circulation deadline input field 80D is registered in the circulation rule DB 26, and then the circulation destination designation process is terminated. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the circulation deadline of “20xx / 11/15” is entered in the circulation deadline input field 80D. Therefore, by the processing of steps 130 and 132, as shown in FIG. 4 as an example, information “20xx / 11/15” is assigned as circulation time limit information to ID “101”.

  In step 134, an error process is performed, and then the circulation destination designation process ends. As an example of the “error processing” here, a message prompting the user to redo input to the group name input field 80A, the ID input field 80B, the title input field 80C, and the circulation time limit input field 80D is displayed on the display unit 52. The process to do is mentioned. In addition to this, for example, a process of displaying on the display unit 52 that the input to the group name input field 80A, the ID input field 80B, the title input field 80C, and the circulation time limit input field 80D has not been performed correctly. If the information input to any one of the group name input field 80A, the ID input field 80B, and the title input field 80C does not exist in the index DB 28, a process for displaying that fact on the display unit 52 is included.

  Next, as an operation of the present embodiment, a circulation handling process performed by the information processing apparatus 10 when the CPU 32 executes the circulation handling program 40 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step 150 of FIG. 7, the acquisition unit 14 determines whether or not the reading information transmitted from the reading device 66 has been received. In step 150, when the reading information transmitted from the reading device 66 is received, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 152. In this step 150, when the reading information transmitted from the reading device 66 is not received, this step 150 is repeated.

  In step 152, the acquisition unit 14 acquires the second barcode information as an example of the confirmer identification information from the read information received in step 150. In the next step 154, the execution unit 16 determines whether or not the reader specified by the barcode indicated by the second barcode information acquired in step 152 is a reader designated in advance. Is done. In other words, it is determined whether or not the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the second barcode information acquired in step 152 is registered as the circulation target person ID in the circulation rule DB 26. In this step 154, when the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the second barcode information acquired in step 152 is registered as the circulation target person ID in the circulation rule DB 26, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 156. Transition. In this step 154, if the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the second barcode information acquired in step 152 is not registered as the circulation target person ID in the circulation rule DB 26, the determination is denied and the process proceeds to step 166. Transition.

  In step 156, the acquisition unit 14 acquires the first barcode information as an example of the confirmation information specifying information from the read information received in step 150. In the next step 158, the execution unit 16 determines whether or not the circulation content specified by the barcode indicated by the first barcode information acquired in step 152 is the circulation content specified in advance. Is done. In other words, it is determined whether or not the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the first barcode information acquired in step 152 is registered as the title ID in the circulation rule DB 26. In step 158, if the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the first barcode information acquired in step 152 is registered as the title ID in the circulation rule DB 26, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 160. . In step 158, if the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the first barcode information acquired in step 152 is not registered as the title ID in the circulation rule DB 26, the determination is negative and the process proceeds to step 166. .

  In step 160, the execution unit 16 applies to the circulation target person ID uniquely specified based on the first barcode information acquired in step 156 and the second barcode information acquired in step 152. Circulation completed information is registered as circulation status information. That is, in step 160, first, in the circulation rule DB 26, the title ID corresponding to the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the first barcode information acquired in step 156 is specified. Next, in the circulation rule DB 26, the circulation target person ID corresponding to the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the second barcode information acquired in step 152 is specified. Then, the circulation information is registered in the circulation rule DB 26 by assigning the circulation information indicating that the circulation has been completed to the circulation target person ID thus identified.

  In the next step 162, the execution unit 16 identifies the circulation target person uniquely identified based on the first barcode information acquired in step 156 and the second barcode information acquired in step 152. It is determined whether or not everything has been circulated. That is, in the circulation rule DB 26, circulation is performed for all circulation target persons uniquely determined based on the first barcode information acquired in step 156 and the second barcode information acquired in step 152. It is determined whether the completed information has been assigned. In this step 162, when the circulated information is assigned to all the circulation target persons, the determination is affirmed and the process proceeds to step 164. In step 162, when the circulation information is not assigned to all the circulation target persons, the determination is denied and the process proceeds to step 166.

  In step 164, the execution unit 16 performs predetermined information 27 that is uniquely specified by the title ID corresponding to the ID indicated by the barcode indicated by the first barcode information acquired in step 156. A predetermined process is executed. In other words, in step 164, the execution unit 16 executes processing according to the processing content specified by the processing content information included in the index DB 26 with respect to the predetermined information 27. For example, for the predetermined information 27 with the title “Document A”, a process of moving from the uncirculated folder to the circulating folder is executed. In addition, a process of giving an access right to the predetermined information 27 with the title “Document A” to the reader identified by the IDs “003” and “004” in the index DB 28 is executed. . When this step 164 ends, the circulation corresponding processing ends.

  In step 166, the circulation deadline uniquely identified from the circulation rule DB 26 by the execution unit 16 based on the first barcode information acquired in step 156 and the second barcode information acquired in step 152 above. It is determined whether or not has already passed. In step 166, if the circulation time limit has already passed, the determination is affirmed and the routine proceeds to step 164. In step 166, if the circulation time limit has not elapsed, the determination is denied and the routine returns to step 150.

  As described above, in the information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, a predetermined process is executed on the predetermined information 27 when all the first to third conditions are satisfied.
