Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of a computer system to which the present embodiment is applied.
As shown in the figure, this computer system is configured by connecting a document data transmission terminal 10, a server 30, and transmission destination terminals 50a, 50b, and 50c via a network 80. Here, although only one document data transmission terminal 10 is shown, the number of the document data transmission terminals 10 is not limited to one. Further, the transmission destination terminals 50a, 50b, and 50c are referred to as transmission destination terminals 50 when they are not distinguished from each other, and the number of the transmission destination terminals is not limited to three.

  The document data transmission terminal 10 is a computer device used when transmitting document data to any one of the transmission destination terminals 50. Specifically, since an identifier (OID; Object IDentifier) that uniquely identifies the facility is assigned to the facility where the transmission destination terminal 50 is installed, the document data transmission terminal 10 designates this OID. Document data is transmitted to the server 30. Note that the OID assigned to the facility is not changed, and even if there is no facility assigned with a certain OID, another facility is not assigned to the OID. Here, as the document data transmission terminal 10, a desktop PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a tablet PC, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistants), a smartphone, a mobile phone, or the like may be used. In the present embodiment, a document data transmission terminal 10 is provided as an example of a document data transmission device and a transmission device.

  The server 30 is a computer device that transmits the document data received from the document data transmission terminal 10 to any one of the transmission destination terminals 50. Specifically, the server 30 includes destination information composed of a plurality of attributes including an OID, and includes destination master information for managing a facility in a certain area as a destination of document data.

By executing the above, these functional units are realized. The destination master information storage unit 32 is realized by, for example, the HDD 93 (see FIG. 19).

Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the document data transmission terminal 10 copies destination information from the first address book to the second address book and changes the destination name in the second address book.
When the user instructs display of the address book edit screen, the document data transmission terminal 10 first displays the address book edit screen (step 101). Specifically, the operation accepting unit 14 accepts a user operation for instructing display of the address book edit screen, and the address book managing unit 13 receives the destination name of the first address book stored in the first address book storage unit 11. And the destination name of the second address book stored in the second address book storage unit 12, and the display control unit 15 controls the display of the address book edit screen including these destination names.

Specifically, the operation receiving unit 14 receives a user operation as shown in FIG.
Then, the address book management unit 13 determines whether or not the selected destination has already been copied from the first address book to the second address book (step 103). Since the destination name may be changed after being copied from the first address book to the second address book, this determination is made when the OID of the selected destination exists in the destination OID of the second address book. It is better to check whether or not to do so.

As a result, if it is determined that the selected destination has not been copied from the first address book to the second address book, the address book management unit 13 stores the first address book in the first address book storage unit 11. The destination information of the selected destination is copied to the second address book stored in the second address book storage unit 12 (step 104). As a result, the address book editing screen is in a state as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the selected destination has already been copied from the first address book to the second address book, the document data transmission terminal 10 displays that fact on the address book edit screen (step 105). . Specifically, the address book management unit 13 notifies the display control unit 15 to that effect, and the display control unit 15 controls the display of a message (not shown) notifying that effect.

Thereafter, when the user performs an operation of selecting a specific destination among the destinations displayed in the “frequently used destination” display field 202 as a target for changing the destination name, the operation reception unit 14 receives this operation ( Step 106). Specifically, the operation accepting unit 14 accepts a user operation as shown in FIG. 9 and thereby displays a destination name input screen as shown in FIG.
Next, when the user performs an operation of changing the destination name of the selected destination to the designated destination name, the operation receiving unit 14 receives this operation (step 107). Specifically, the operation receiving unit 14 receives a user operation as shown in FIG.
Then, the address book management unit 13 changes the destination name of the selected destination in the second address book stored in the second address book storage unit 12 to the designated destination name (step 108).
Then, the document data transmission terminal 10 displays the changed destination name on the address book editing screen instead of the changed destination name (step 109). Specifically, the address book management unit 13 transmits the changed destination name to the display control unit 15, and the display control unit 15 controls the display of the changed destination name on the address book edit screen, thereby The address book editing screen is in a state as shown in FIG.

The reason for changing the destination name in this way is to make it easier to discriminate the destination name in the second address book when the destination name in the destination master information is difficult to discriminate.
In addition, since the change of the destination name is performed in the second address book, the change of the destination name is maintained even if the first address book is updated by updating the destination master information.

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the document data transmission terminal 10 transmits document data by designating a destination.
When the user instructs display of the document transmission screen, the document data transmission terminal 10 first displays the document transmission screen (step 121). Specifically, the operation accepting unit 14 accepts a user operation for instructing display of the document transmission screen, and the address book managing unit 13 displays the destination information of the second address book stored in the second address book storage unit 12. The display control unit 15 acquires and controls the display of the document transmission screen including the destination information. As a result, a document transmission screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed.

In this state, when the user performs an operation of selecting a specific destination among the destinations displayed in the “frequently used destination” display field 206 as the transmission destination of the document data, the operation reception unit 14 receives this operation. (Step 122). Specifically, the operation receiving unit 14 receives a user operation for selecting a destination as shown in FIG.
Then, the transmission instruction unit 17 determines whether or not the selected destination OID is included in the destination OID of the first address book (step 123). Specifically, the transmission instructing unit 17 recognizes the order of the selected destination in the second address book, and obtains the OID from the destination information in that order in the second address book stored in the second address book storage unit 12. It is determined whether or not destination information including this OID exists among a plurality of pieces of destination information in the first address book stored in the first address book storage unit 11. For example, since the OID that existed when the destination is copied from the first address book to the second address book may not exist due to the update of the destination master information of the server 30, such a determination is made. .

  As a result, if it is determined that the selected destination OID is not included in the first address book destination OID, the document data transmission terminal 10 displays that fact on the document transmission screen (step 124). . Specifically, the transmission instructing unit 17 notifies the display control unit 15 to that effect, and the display control unit 15 controls the display of a message (not shown) notifying that effect. Then, the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the OID of the selected destination is included in the OID of the destination in the first address book, the transmission instruction unit 17 determines that the destination attribute has the same OID in the first address book. It is determined whether or not the attribute is the same as (No. 125). Specifically, the transmission instructing unit 17 includes destination information including the OID acquired in step 123 among the destination information in the first address book stored in the first address book storage unit 11, and the second address book storage unit. 12 is identified from the destination information in the second address book stored in 12 and the destination information including the OID acquired in step 123, and it is determined whether the attributes in the destination information are the same. For example, after copying the destination from the first address book to the second address book, the user may change the attribute at the document data transmission terminal 10 or the attribute may be changed by updating the destination master information of the server 30. Therefore, such a determination is made.

  If it is determined that the selected destination attribute is not the same as the destination attribute of the same OID in the first address book, the document data transmission terminal 10 displays that fact on the document transmission screen (step 126). . Specifically, the transmission instructing unit 17 notifies the display control unit 15 to that effect, and the display control unit 15 controls the display of a message (not shown) notifying that effect. Here, the attribute of this message is different between the first address book and the second address book, but the document data transmission process may be continued as it is, or the attribute is different between the first address book and the second address book. Inquiry information for inquiring whether or not to stop the transmission processing of document data is also included. When there is a user response to the inquiry information, the operation reception unit 14 intends to stop or stop the user response content to continue the document data transmission process. Is determined (step 127). If it is determined that the response content is intended to stop the document data transmission process, the process ends.

In addition, when it is determined that the attribute of the selected destination is the same as the attribute of the destination having the same OID in the first address book, or the attribute of the destination having the same OID in the first address book is selected. However, if it is determined in step 127 that the response content is intended to continue the document data transmission process, the operation reception unit 14 selects the document data and the document type name. Is accepted (step 128). Specifically, for the document type name, a user operation for selecting the document type name in the “document type name” selection field 207 shown in FIG. 13 is accepted.
Next, the transmission instruction unit 17 reads out the document data selected in step 128 from the document data storage unit 16, and uses the OID acquired in step 123 and the document type name accepted in step 128 as the document data. (Step 129).

  Thereafter, the operation receiving unit 14 determines whether or not there has been a transmission operation in which the user presses a transmission button (not shown) (step 130). Here, if there is no transmission operation, the processing is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if there is a transmission operation, the transmission instruction unit 17 passes the OID, document data, and document type name to the transmission unit 18, and the transmission unit 18 transmits them to the server 30 (step 131).

  Thereby, although not shown, in the server 30, the receiving unit 31 receives the OID, the document data, and the document type name. Next, the destination master information management unit 33 refers to the destination master information stored in the destination master information storage unit 32, acquires address information of the destination having this OID, and uses this address information as document data, document It passes to the transmission part 34 with a seed name. Then, the transmission unit 34 transmits the document data and the document type name to the transmission destination terminal 50 indicated by the address information.

By the way, in this operation example, the document data transmission terminal 10 transmits the document data read from the document data storage unit 16 as it is. However, the document data may be transmitted after some processing is performed on the document data.
As such processing, for example, it is conceivable to add the user name of the user who has been authenticated by the document data transmission terminal 10 to the document data. In the document data transmission terminal 10, if the doctor performs authentication and transmits the document data, the document data is transmitted with the doctor's signature. In this example, the user name is “added” to the document data. However, the user name may be “associated” with the document data in a broader sense.

  Alternatively, as such processing, it may be possible to add a destination name to the document data. At this time, the destination name in the second address book may be added to the document data, but the user of the document data transmission terminal 10 may change the destination name in the second address book. In such a case, the destination name is a name that can be identified only by the user of the document data transmission terminal 10 and may not be suitable as a destination name to be added to the document data. It is preferable to add to. Here, as a method of adding the destination name before the change, for example, there is the following method. First, even if the destination name in the second address book is changed, the destination name before the change is retained in the first address book, and this is used. Second, by adding a new attribute to the second address book and holding the changed destination name in this attribute, the destination name before the change is held in the second address book. Is the method. Thus, since the destination name before the change may be held in the first address book or in the second address book, the destination name before the change may be stored in the first storage means. It can be understood that the information is stored in the third storage means that is not the second storage means. Here, the destination name is “added” to the document data. However, the destination name may be “associated” with the document data in a broader sense.

FIG. 18A and FIG. 18B are flowcharts illustrating an operation example when the document data transmission terminal 10 synchronizes the first address book with the destination master information of the server 30. This operation starts when the server 30 updates the destination master information or when the user explicitly instructs the synchronization process.
When the operation starts, in the document data transmission terminal 10, as shown in FIG. 18A, first, the receiving unit 21 acquires destination master information from the server 30 (step 141).
Next, the syntax analysis unit 22 parses the destination master information received in step 141 (step 142), and determines whether the destination master information is syntactically correct (step 143).
As a result, if it is determined that the destination master information is not syntactically correct, the document data transmission terminal 10 displays an error message indicating that the destination master information is invalid (step 144). Specifically, the syntax analysis unit 22 notifies the display control unit 15 that the destination master information is invalid, and the display control unit 15 controls the display of the message to that effect. Then, the process ends.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the destination master information is syntactically correct, the destination master information is passed to the address book management unit 13, and the address book management unit 13 focuses on one destination in the first address book (step 145). ), It is determined whether or not the destination OID exists in the destination master information (step 146). Here, only when it is determined that the destination OID does not exist in the destination master information, the address book management unit 13 deletes the destination of the nonexistent OID from the first address book (step 147), and the first address It is determined whether all destinations of the book have been confirmed (step 148). If the address book management unit 13 has not confirmed all the destinations in the first address book, the address book management unit 13 returns to step 145 and performs the processes in steps 145 to 148 focusing on the next destination. If all destinations in the first address book have been confirmed, the subsequent operation is started.

  When the subsequent operation starts, in the document data transmission terminal 10, as shown in FIG. 18-2, first, the address book management unit 13 pays attention to one destination of the destination master information (step 151), and the OID of the destination. Is present in the first address book, and it is determined whether or not the attribute of the destination has been updated (step 152). This determination may be made by examining whether the attribute of the destination in the destination master information and the attribute of the destination of the same OID in the first address book are the same. Here, only when it is determined that the attribute of the destination is updated, the address book management unit 13 displays the updated attribute of the destination address of the first address book stored in the first address book storage unit 11. (Step 153).

  Further, the address book management unit 13 determines whether or not the destination OID exists in the first address book (step 154). Here, only when it is determined that the OID of the destination does not exist in the first address book, the address book management unit 13 registers this destination in the first address book (step 155), and all the destination master information It is determined whether the destination has been confirmed (step 156). If the address book management unit 13 has not confirmed all the destinations in the destination master information, the address book management unit 13 returns to step 151 and performs the processes in steps 151 to 156 while paying attention to the next destination. If all the destinations in the destination master information have been confirmed, the process ends.

Here, although the operations shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B are shown as operations performed when the first address book is synchronized with the destination master information, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, if the receiving unit 21 acquires the destination master information, the parsing unit 22 parses the destination master information, and if the destination master information is syntactically correct, the address book management unit 13 reads all destinations from the first address book. May be deleted, and all the destinations of the destination master information may be registered in the first address book. That is, if the first address book is updated with the destination master information so that the OIDs and attributes of the plurality of destinations in the destination master information are the same as the OIDs and attributes of the plurality of destinations in the first address book. Any operation may be performed. In this example, “the OIDs and attributes of a plurality of destinations are the same”, but it is not required to be completely the same, and “the OIDs and attributes of a plurality of destinations are matched”. It is good.

  Further, in this operation example, when synchronizing the first address book with the destination master information, all information in the destination master information is transmitted from the server 30 to the document data transmission terminal 10. Is not necessarily transmitted from the server 30 to the document data transmitting terminal 10. For example, when synchronizing the first address book with the destination master information, only the destination OID and the destination name in the destination master information are transmitted from the server 30 to the document data transmission terminal 10, and the first address book to the second address book are transmitted. When the destination is copied, information other than the OID and the destination name may be transmitted from the server 30 to the document data transmission terminal 10 only for the destination.
