  The work designation receiving unit 101 receives one or more pieces of work designation information. The one or two or more work designation information is information for designating one or more works each performed using one or two or more screens. The work here is a work scheduled to be executed. The two or more pieces of work designation information are preferably information for designating works performed using two or more different screens. The work here is work performed by one or more users, for example, work performed using the information processing apparatus 1. The one work here may be one work group such as a series of plural works. One user here may be one individual or one organization such as a company, a department in the company, or a group. The work here is, for example, work related to finance, accounting, human resources, inventory management, etc. performed in corporations such as companies and organizations. The work here is, for example, a work of inputting data into a form related to finance, accounting, or accounting, a work of confirming data input to the form, a work of reading out data using a query or the like. The form is, for example, a slip or a book. However, the form here is an electronic form. The work scheduled to be executed is a work that one or more users are planning to perform in the future, or a work that must be performed in the future.

  The screen here is a screen used when the user performs one work, and corresponds to, for example, a work screen described later. The screen is, for example, a menu screen, an input screen, or a screen that outputs a processing result. A so-called window or dialog may be considered as one screen. Different screens are, for example, different types of screens, specifically screens with different types of forms created using this screen, input screens with different types and combinations of data that can be entered, This is a screen with different types and combinations of data to be displayed. For example, a screen that is the same except for the input data may be considered to be the same screen even if the input data is different. If the input data is different, the screen is different. You may think that there is. For example, screens created using different templates may be considered as different screens. In addition, screens created using the same template may be considered the same screen. Even if screens are created using the same template, different screens can be used if at least some of the arranged data is different. You may think that it is. Further, even if the appearance is different, the same screen may be considered as long as the inputable data is the same. Each screen here may have an input field, an object for accepting an input by a user such as a button, and the like. Each of the two or more operations performed using two or more different screens is, for example, a different operation.

  The work designation information may be any information as long as it is a work that is scheduled to be executed as described above and can be designated as a result of the work performed using the screen. The work designation information is, for example, information having information that designates a process to be executed by one or more application software used in a work scheduled to be executed. The process here is, for example, a process involving output of one or more screens. The process here may be one process or a series of processes such as a series of a plurality of processes. The information for designating a process is, for example, a process identifier such as a process name for designating a process to be executed by application software. Further, the information designating the process may be information having a command or instruction for performing the process, for example.

  The work designation information is information having information for designating a screen used for work scheduled to be executed, for example. Here, a screen used for work is referred to as a work screen. The work screen is, for example, an input screen or an output screen used for work. The information for designating the work screen (hereinafter referred to as screen designation information) may be information capable of specifying the work screen such as an identifier of the work screen, for example. The screen designation information is information that can be used to jump to the work screen, and may be, for example, link information or address information for work screen information stored in a storage unit (not shown). . The screen designation information may be information for designating a template or the like stored in a storage unit (not shown) used for outputting the work screen. The template may be, for example, data in a format dedicated to the information processing apparatus 1, or may be data in XML format, or a combination of XML format data and style sheet data such as CSS. The screen designation information may be considered as a work screen identifier. The screen designation information may be image information output as a work screen, information specifying an electronic document or the like output as a work screen, and the like.

  When one or more tasks scheduled to be executed are performed by executing application software that outputs one or more screens, each work designation information is an application that outputs one or more screens used in the work. You may have the identifier of a software, and the identifier of the application software which performs the process used in an operation | work. The application software identifier will be described later.

  The work designation information may have work conditions that are conditions for work scheduled to be executed. This work condition is, for example, a condition for specifying a work. The condition for specifying the work is, for example, a condition for designating a date or the like, a condition for specifying one or more users who perform the work (for example, a user identifier of the user who performs the work, a group identifier of the user group that performs the work, etc. ), A data group used in the work (for example, a database), a condition for designating a storage destination of information created by the work, and the like. The date here is a concept including a plurality of dates and periods. The date here may be, for example, the start date of work or the due date for work. The condition for designating a date may be information designating a specific date, or information such as a rule indicating the date to be identified, such as “10th of every month” or “after 40 days”. .

  The work condition may be a set value or an input value used in the work. This set value is, for example, information such as a query that specifies a search range or the like for acquiring data used for work, information that specifies a data unit, a processing method, or the like. In addition, the set value, input value, and the like used for work are, for example, one or more pieces of information such as subject names that are determined to be input in advance in a form created by the work.

  The work designation information may include a user identifier of a user who inputs the work designation information. The user identifier is, for example, a user name, a user employee number, a character string assigned to the user, a user email address, or the like. The user identifier may be considered as one of the above-described work conditions.

  Further, the work designation information includes a work identifier which is an identifier of work registration information described later acquired according to the work designation information, information for designating a rule used to create the work identifier, and the like. Also good. The work identifier will be described later.

  It does not matter how the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information in response to an operation by a user. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information input from a user via an input device (not shown) such as a keyboard or a mouse. In addition, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives the operation for creating the work designation information designated in advance when the work screen output unit 107 to be described later outputs one work screen. Work designation information for designating work to be performed may be accepted. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 may acquire screen designation information of the output work screen and accept work designation information having this screen designation information. Further, the work designation receiving unit 101 further includes a work designation having a user identifier of a user who uses the information processing apparatus 1, a user who outputs a work screen as described above, or a user who inputs work designation information. Information may be accepted.

  Here, “reception” refers to reception of information input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, or touch panel, reception of information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line, and information transferred between application software. It is a concept that includes acceptance. The input means here may be anything such as a mouse, a touch panel or a menu screen. The work designation receiving unit 101 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a mouse or a touch panel, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

  The work registration information storage unit 102 stores work registration information that is information related to work scheduled to be executed. The work registration information is, for example, information for outputting a work screen used for work scheduled to be executed. The work registration information is information having information for outputting a work screen used for work scheduled to be executed, for example. The information for outputting a work screen is information for designating a task or process accompanied by output of one or more screens described below, or screen designation information described below.

  For example, the work registration information is information having one or more screen designation information that designates a work screen used in a work scheduled to be executed. The work registration information may further include an execution condition that is a condition used when outputting a work screen specified by such screen specification information. The execution condition is specifically a condition used for creating a work screen, and the work screen output unit 107 described later outputs, for example, a work screen that satisfies this execution condition. Execution conditions include, for example, detailed output settings for the work screen, information specifying one or more changes to be made to the work screen, information input in advance to the work screen, and data input to the work screen A query or the like. The execution condition is, for example, information (that is, a condition) indicating a search period for searching for data arranged on the work screen.

  The work registration information may include information specifying one or more tasks or processes that are executed in order to perform a work scheduled to be executed and accompanied by output of one or more screens. Accompanying the output of the screen may be considered to include a process of outputting the screen. The task is a process that is automatically executed by the information processing apparatus 1 or the like, for example. However, the task may include processing such as accepting input from the user. The work registration information may further include one or more instructions for causing a processing unit (not shown) of the information processing apparatus 1 to execute one or more tasks and processes, and conditions used for executing them. good. Such a condition may also be considered as an execution condition.

  For example, one work registration information may include information for outputting one specific work screen, and includes information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of work screens. There may be. The plurality of work screens in this case are, for example, a plurality of work screens output at different times. For example, the plurality of work screens in this case are work screens that are repeatedly created and output according to a constant or indefinite period, a trigger specified in advance, or the like. Dynamically acquiring and outputting means acquiring and outputting a work screen under dynamically different conditions. Dynamic acquisition refers to, for example, creating a work screen to be output according to the time when the work screen is output, the user who outputs the screen, the trigger that outputs the screen, and the like. Each work screen that is dynamically acquired may be a work screen in which arranged data or the like differs depending on the time of output or the user. Work registration information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of screens includes, for example, a reference work screen and conditions such as execution conditions used to dynamically update the reference work screen. , Information for specifying a work screen template, and information such as an execution condition used for dynamically updating the template. For example, the work registration information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of screens is screen designation information for designating a template or the like having a variable, or work registration information having an execution condition or the like having a variable. This variable is, for example, a variable to which a dynamically determined value, for example, the current date, the current month, or the value of the previous month is input. Conditions such as execution conditions used to dynamically update the reference work screen include, for example, conditions for creating data used to replace one or more data of the reference work screen, This is a condition for creating data to be added to the reference work screen. The same applies to the conditions used for dynamically updating the template. For example, work registration information includes screen specification information that specifies a template for an invoice and conditions for setting the date entered in this template to the last day of the month that includes the date on which the work screen is output, and is placed on the work screen. Information that includes a query that sets a period to be searched in a range from the first day to the last day of the month including the date when the work screen is output. .

  One piece of work registration information may include information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes accompanying screen output, for example. The plurality of tasks or processes in this case are, for example, a plurality of tasks or processes executed at different times. For example, the plurality of tasks or processes in this case are tasks or processes that are repeatedly executed according to a constant or indefinite period, a trigger designated in advance, or the like. Dynamically executing is, for example, dynamically executing under different conditions. The dynamically different conditions are conditions determined according to, for example, a time point when a task or process is executed, a user who executes the task, a trigger that executes the task, or the like. The information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes is, for example, information having information specifying a task or process and conditions used when the task or process is dynamically executed. The condition here is a concept including parameters and arguments set at the time of execution. Conditions used to dynamically execute tasks and processes include, for example, conditions for dynamically determining the period and due date for executing tasks and processes, and when executing tasks and processes. This is a condition for dynamically determining a setting value to be used. For example, in the work registration information, information specifying a task for outputting a screen for confirming a certain ledger and the date of the ledger used in the task are set to the month before the month including the date of executing the task. Information having a condition.

  Further, the work registration information may have one or more work conditions described above. For example, the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information may have one or more work conditions included in the work designation information. Further, the work registration information may have a combination of two or more of the information described above.

  The work registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with, for example, a work identifier that is information for identifying the work registration information. The work identifier may be considered as information that can identify, for example, a task or process corresponding to the associated work registration information or a work performed using a work screen. The work identifier is, for example, character string information. The work identifier is an identifier having, for example, a work name, a work screen name used for the work, and the like. The work identifier may be information having a task name or a process name executed in the work. The work identifier is preferably an identifier that allows the user to determine what kind of work it is. The work identifier may include date and period information similar to the above-described work condition date and period information. The work identifier may be information obtained by combining two or more pieces of information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with the work registration information. The information associated with the work registration information is a concept including information included in the work registration information. For example, the work identifier may be information obtained by combining a task name associated with work registration information and information indicating the date of work using the task. Further, the work identifier may be information that combines the identifier of the work screen associated with the work registration information, the due date of the work using the work screen, the creation date of the work registration information, and the like. The fact that the work registration information is stored in association with the work identifier may mean, for example, that a set of work registration information and work identifier is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. The work registration information having the identifier may be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102.

  Further, the work registration information may be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with the user identifier of the user who performed the operation for creating the work registration information. The association between the work registration information and the user identifier is the same as the association between the work registration information and the work identifier.

  The work registration information storage unit 102 is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium. The same applies to other storage units.

  The work registration information accumulating unit 103 acquires work registration information according to each work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101, and accumulates the acquired work registration information in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires screen designation information that designates a work screen that is a screen used for work designated by the work designation information received by the work designation reception unit 101, and has the acquired screen designation information. The work registration information is accumulated in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, when the work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101 includes screen designation information, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires the screen designation information included in the work designation information, and the work registration including the acquired screen designation information. Get information. In addition, when the work designation information includes information for designating a task or process, the screen designation information of the work screen used in the task or process is obtained from the information for executing the task or process. Also good.

  For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires and stores work registration information corresponding to the work conditions included in the work designation information. The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires, for example, work registration information that matches one or more work conditions included in the work designation information, and stores the acquired work registration information.

  For example, when the work designation information has a condition for setting one date as the work condition, the work registration information storage unit 103 specifies the date designated by the work condition of the work designation information on the work screen designated by the work designation information. Is updated with a date that satisfies the condition for setting one date of the work condition, the updated work screen data is stored in a screen storage unit (not shown), and the link information for this work screen is displayed as the screen designation information. May be accumulated. The work screen designated by the work designation information in this case may be stored in advance in, for example, a storage unit (not shown). In this case, a work screen template designated by the work designation information may be used instead of the work screen designated by the work designation information.

  For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 may acquire work registration information having all or part of the work conditions as the execution conditions described above. For example, when the work designation information has a condition for designating a date such as a date for executing the work or a date for outputting information indicating the work registration information as the work condition, the work registration information storage unit 103 sets this date as the work condition. One or more work registration information having as execution conditions the date acquired according to the condition to be specified or the date specifying the date, for example, the execution date or the date to output the information indicating the work registration information is stored. May be. The condition for designating the date is, for example, a condition for designating an invoice issue date or a condition for designating a date for checking the ledger. In this case, the screen designation information acquired by the work registration information storage unit 103 includes information such as a template having a place where a date satisfying the condition designating this date is arranged, and a date updated with a date satisfying this condition. It is the data of the arranged work screen.

  Also, for example, when the work designation information includes information for designating a task or process accompanied by screen output and a work condition that is a condition for designating a date or a period, the work registration information storage unit 103 stores the task or process. May be acquired and stored as work registration information having information for designating, and having the conditions indicated by the work conditions as execution conditions for executing tasks and processes.

  In addition, for example, the work registration information storage unit 103 sets a work condition for specifying work acquisition information, for example, a task used for work, data used for processing, or data to be arranged on a work screen, for example, a database. If it has, the work registration information having an execution condition that designates the data acquisition source as the data acquisition source may be acquired and stored.

  In addition, for example, the work registration information storage unit 103 has, as work conditions, the work designation information includes a query for acquiring data used for work, data used for processing, and data arranged on the work screen. Work registration information having this query as an execution condition may be acquired and accumulated.

  For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 may store work registration information in association with a work identifier indicating the work registration information. The work identifier to be associated may be obtained from work designation information corresponding to the work registration information, or may be one information or a combination of two or more pieces of information included in the work registration information. Further, it may be acquired according to a rule specified in advance using one or more pieces of information included in the work registration information. For example, the rule designated in advance is a rule in which a work identifier is obtained by adding a serial number to one or more pieces of information included in work registration information. The work identifier included in one work registration information is, for example, the identifier of one work registration information. The work identifier may be considered as an identifier of a task performed using a task or process executed according to the work registration information having the work identifier or a work screen output according to the work registration information. The work identifier included in the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information is, for example, the work identifier included in the work designation information. Further, it may be a work identifier created by rules designated in advance according to work designation information or information included in work registration information. For example, the work identifier may be an identifier that combines a work screen or work name specified by the work designation information and information indicating a period or date of work indicated by the work registration information. good.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 may store the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information in association with the user identifier of the user who has input the work designation information. For example, work registration information having this user identifier may be stored, or a set of this user identifier and work registration information may be stored.

  The work registration information accumulating unit 103 may acquire one piece of work registration information or a plurality of pieces of work registration information according to one piece of work designation information. The plurality of pieces of work registration information here are, for example, work registration information for outputting different work screens. The plurality of pieces of work registration information acquired in accordance with one piece of work designation information is, for example, work registration information for outputting work screens used for repeated work. For example, one piece of work designation information is designated in advance for each month in the period, screen designation information for designating a work screen template used to create a pre-designated slip, a work condition for designating a period, and so on. The work registration information accumulating unit 103 determines, in accordance with the work designation information, each month within the period indicated by the work condition designating the period. A plurality of pieces of work registration information having screen designation information included in the work designation information may be acquired. For the work registration information corresponding to each appendage, for example, it is designated that the value of each month is arranged in the field in which the month of the work screen of the slip created using the template that is the screen designation information is arranged. This is work registration information. For example, it is work registration information having an execution condition for designating an acquisition period of data to be arranged in a range from the first day to the last day of each month.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 may acquire and store work registration information having information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of work screens as described above according to one piece of work designation information. The work registration information having information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes with screen output as described above may be acquired and stored according to one piece of work designation information. For example, at least some of the work conditions included in the work designation information are stored in the work registration information as conditions for dynamically acquiring a plurality of work screens and conditions for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes. May be. It may be used. For example, the work condition may be accumulated in the work registration information as an execution condition used for dynamically acquiring a plurality of work screens or dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the work registration information storage unit 103 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The output instruction receiving unit 104 receives an output instruction. The output instruction is an instruction to output work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. The output instruction may be considered as an instruction to output information indicating work registration information. The output instruction may be considered as an instruction to output a list of one or more work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, for example. The output instruction receiving unit 104 receives an output instruction from a user, for example. When receiving an output instruction from one user, the output instruction receiving unit 104 may receive the user identifier of the one user together with the output instruction. This user identifier is a user identifier input at the time of login for using the information processing apparatus 1, for example. Further, the output instruction receiving unit 104 may receive an output instruction output from a processing unit (not shown) such as the information processing apparatus 1. The output instruction may have conditions for specifying work registration information to be output.

  The input means for the output instruction may be anything such as a numeric keypad, keyboard, mouse, or menu screen. The output instruction receiving unit 104 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a numeric keypad or a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, and the like.

  The work output unit 105 outputs information indicating one or more work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in response to the output instruction. For example, the work output unit 105 outputs a screen on which information indicating one or more pieces of work registration information is arranged in response to an output instruction. For example, the work output unit 105 displays a list of information indicating one or more pieces of work registration information. The work output unit 105 may output information indicating one or more pieces of work registration information arranged in a matrix. The information indicating the work registration information is, for example, a work identifier associated with the work registration information. Further, the information indicating the work registration information may be, for example, a button or icon associated with the work registration information. Moreover, the information which shows the content of the work corresponding to work registration information may be sufficient. Further, for example, it may be a part of information included in the work registration information. The information indicating the work registration information is preferably information that can identify the work registration information.

  The work output unit 105 may output information indicating all of one or more work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, for example, and may indicate a part of the one or more work registration information. Information may be output.

  For example, the work output unit 105 may output information indicating work registration information that satisfies a predetermined condition. The predesignated condition is, for example, a condition indicating a time-series relationship between a period or date indicated by information indicating a period or date related to the work included in the work registration information and a time point when the information indicating the work registration information is output. . For example, the condition is that the length of the period between the period and date indicated by the information indicating the period and date related to the work included in the work registration information and the time point when the information indicating the work registration information is output is equal to or less than the threshold. The unit of time here may be time, date, month or year. For example, the work output unit 105 may output only information indicating work registration information including information indicating a period including a time point when the output is performed. The time point at which the output is performed may be, for example, a time point when an output instruction is accepted or an arbitrary time point during a process for output. Further, the condition here may be, for example, a condition that the time limit information for performing the work included in the work registration information has passed at the time of output. The condition here is a condition that the work using the work registration information has already been completed. The work using the work registration information is, for example, a work using a task or a process executed using the work registration information, or a work using a work screen output using the work registration information. For example, when the work is completed, it is possible to determine whether the work has been completed for the work registration information by adding information such as a flag indicating that the work has been completed to the corresponding work registration information. Further, the work output unit 105 may display only information indicating work registration information associated with a user identifier of a user who has input an output instruction or a user who uses the information processing apparatus 1, for example. The user identifier of the user who has input the output instruction may be input by the user when receiving the output instruction, or the user identifier input at the time of login may be acquired. Two or more of these conditions may be used in appropriate combination.

  The work output unit 105 is, for example, a screen having one or more of one or more work identifiers that identify one or more work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in response to an output instruction. Output list screen. The work identifier for identifying the work registration information is, for example, a work identifier stored in association with the work registration information. The work list screen is, for example, a screen in which one or more work identifiers are arranged and displayed as a list. The work list screen is a screen having, for example, one or more work identifiers as list items. For example, the work list screen is created by the work output unit 105 by arranging one or more work identifiers on a template or the like (not shown). For example, the work output unit 105 may output a work list screen having all work identifiers of two or more work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. A work list screen having a part of the above may be output. For example, the work output unit 105 may output a work list screen having a work identifier of work registration information that satisfies a predetermined condition. The conditions specified in advance can use the same conditions as those used when outputting the information indicating the work registration information.

  In addition, when the work registration information to be output is, for example, information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of work screens as described above at different times, or tasks or processes accompanied by output of work screens Is the information for dynamically executing a plurality of times at different times, the work output unit 105 moves the work registration information according to the time when the work screen indicated by the work registration information is output. Alternatively, information indicating the work registration information, for example, a work identifier may be acquired and output. For example, when the work registration information is a time when one work indicated by the work registration information is performed, or when a period between the work registration information is equal to or less than a threshold value, the work output unit 105 Alternatively, information indicating the work registration information may be dynamically acquired and output. The information indicating the work registration information acquired dynamically is, for example, information that can identify one of a plurality of works performed according to the work registration information. For example, the work that the work registration information has Information related to the time when one work is performed to the identifier, work screen identifier, task identifier, etc., for example, information with a value such as the due date of one work, a serial number indicating the order of one work, etc. The information etc. which added may be sufficient.

  Further, the work output unit 105 does not satisfy the conditions and the work registration information having the information on the time series and the date having the time-series relationship satisfying the conditions specified in advance at the time when the output as described above is performed. You may output so that it can distinguish visually from the work registration information which has the information of the period and date which have a relationship. For example, the work registration information having information indicating an execution deadline whose time interval from the time of output is equal to or less than a predetermined period is output so that the work registration information can be visually distinguished from other work registration information. May be. In addition, for example, the work registration information corresponding to the work that has passed the deadline and the work registration information that has not passed may be output so that the work registration information can be visually distinguished from the time of output. The completed work registration information and the unfinished work registration information may be output so as to be visually distinguishable. Two or more of these conditions may be used in appropriate combination. The output that can be visually distinguished will be described later.

  In the work identifier arranged on the screen output by the work output unit 105 and in the vicinity thereof, an area is provided in which the work identifier itself, address information, link information, and the like to the work registration information indicated by the work identifier are associated. Preferably.

  The output here is a concept including display on a display, projection using a projector, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, delivery of a processing result to another processing device or another program, etc. It is. The work output unit 105 may or may not include an output device such as a display. The work output unit 105 can be implemented by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device. The same applies to other output units such as the work screen output unit 107.

  The work instruction receiving unit 106 receives an instruction for designating information indicating one piece of work registration information among information indicating one or more pieces of work registration information output by the work output unit 105. An instruction for designating information indicating one piece of work registration information is hereinafter referred to as a work instruction. For example, when the work registration information is a work identifier, the work instruction accepting unit 106 accepts a work instruction that is an instruction for designating one work identifier among one or more work identifiers included in the work list screen. For example, the work instruction accepting unit 106 accepts an operation of clicking or tapping on or near one work identifier among one or more work identifiers included in the work list screen in response to an operation of a mouse, a touch panel, or the like. In this case, a work instruction specifying a work identifier arranged at the clicked or tapped position is accepted.

  The work instruction input means may be anything such as a mouse, a touch panel, or a menu screen. The work instruction receiving unit 106 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a mouse or a touch panel, control software for a menu screen, or the like.

  The work screen output unit 107 outputs a work screen used for work according to one work registration information specified by the work instruction received by the work instruction receiving unit 106. One piece of work registration information designated by the work instruction is, for example, one piece of work registration information indicated by information indicating one piece of work registration information designated by the work instruction. For example, the work screen output unit 107 outputs the work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information indicated by the work identifier designated by the work instruction accepted by the work instruction acceptance unit 106. For example, the work screen output unit 107 outputs the work screen indicated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information corresponding to the work identifier designated by the work instruction.

  For example, when the screen designation information is link information or address information as described above, the work screen output unit 107 reads out information on the work screen stored at the location indicated by the link information or address information, Is output, for example, displayed. When the work screen is output, information may be changed, added, deleted, or the like according to conditions indicated by one or more work conditions included in the work registration information.

  Further, for example, when the screen designation information is information for designating a template, the work screen output unit 107 may output the work screen by using the work screen information obtained by reading out the template. Further, when the template is read and the work screen information is acquired, the information may be changed, added, deleted, or the like according to one or more execution conditions included in the work registration information. For example, when the execution condition includes date information related to the work, a work screen in which the date information is arranged at a predetermined position of the template may be acquired and output. Further, a search or the like may be performed from a specified database using a query or the like included in the execution condition, and a work screen on which data acquired by the search is arranged may be acquired.

  For example, when the screen designation information is information for designating a task or process, the work screen output unit 107 executes the task or process using a work condition or the like included in the screen designation information. A work screen such as an input screen may be output.

  In addition, when the work registration information to be output is, for example, information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of screens as described above, a plurality of tasks or processes are dynamically used under different conditions. The work screen output unit 107 dynamically acquires information used for the screen according to the time when the information indicating the work registration information is output, and the like. It is also possible to output the work screen acquired by updating the screen or template designated by the screen designation information or the like. For example, if the work registration information is information having screen designation information for designating an invoice template and a condition for setting a date to be entered in this template to the last day of every month, the date when the work instruction is accepted The date of the last day of the month may be acquired using a calendar or the like (not shown), and the acquired value may be output by configuring a screen arranged in the column for inputting the date of the invoice of the template.

  Similarly, when the work registration information to be output is information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes as described above using different conditions, the work screen output unit 107 Depending on the time point when the information indicating work registration information is output, the task or process is executed using the dynamically acquired conditions, and the work screen obtained in the execution of the task or process is output. Also good.

  As a result, the work screen output unit 107 may output a work screen used for work corresponding to work registration information specified by an instruction for specifying information indicating one piece of work registration information. For example, the work screen output unit 107 may output the work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information indicated by the work identifier designated by the work instruction accepted by the work instruction acceptance unit 106 as a result. For example, when the work instruction receiving unit 106 receives an instruction to specify information indicating one piece of work registration information, the work screen output unit 107 outputs a work screen used for work according to the work registration information. One or more screens having an option to output a screen for confirming the operation or a screen used for work according to the work registration information are temporarily output, and on this screen, the work screen used for the work is output. When an operation for agreeing to output or an option indicating that the work screen is output is selected, the work screen used for the work may be output. Even in such a case, it may be considered that the work screen output unit 107 outputs a work screen used for work according to work registration information specified by an instruction for specifying information indicating one piece of work registration information.

  Although not described in the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 receives information, operations, and the like from a user or the like as appropriate via a work screen output by the work screen output unit 107. May be provided. Further, in accordance with the information and operation received by the receiving unit, a previously specified process or the like may be appropriately performed by a processing unit (not shown) as described above. Moreover, you may have an output part etc. which are not shown in figure which output the process result which this process part processed.

  Note that the work output unit 105 may further output a menu screen for operating the information processing apparatus 1, a processing result of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 1, and the like.

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 1 may include a processing unit that performs processing other than the processing for accumulating work registration information as described above, the work list screen, and the processing for displaying the work screen. . For example, this processing unit may execute a task or a process used for the work indicated by the above-described work registration information.

  Next, an example of the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S101) The work designation receiving unit 101 determines whether work designation information has been received. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information having work conditions and the like from the user. Work designation information having a user identifier of a user who inputs the work designation information may be received. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S102. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S104.

  (Step S102) The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires one or more work registration information corresponding to the work designation information received in step S101. For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires work registration information having screen designation information.

  (Step S103) The work registration information storage unit 103 stores one or more work registration information acquired in step S102 in the work registration information storage unit 102. When the work designation information having the user identifier is received in step S101, the work registration information accumulation unit 103 may accumulate the work designation information in association with the user identifier. For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 stores a set of a user identifier and work designation information. It may be considered that work registration information having a user identifier is acquired and stored, or work designation information is stored in association with the user identifier. Then, the process returns to step S101.

(Step S104) The output instruction receiving unit 104 determines whether an output instruction has been received from a user or the like. When the work registration information is stored in association with the user identifier, the output instruction receiving unit 104 may receive a set of the output instruction and the user identifier of the user who inputs the output instruction. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S105. If not accepted, the process returns to step S101.
If an output instruction is not received in step S104, a reception unit (not shown) determines whether there is another instruction. If another instruction is received, processing corresponding to the other instruction is shown. It may be executed by a processing unit that does not.

  (Step S <b> 105) The work output unit 105 detects work registration information that satisfies a predetermined output condition from the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, the work registration information including the current date is detected in the period in which the work included in the work registration information is to be executed. When the work registration information is stored in association with the user identifier, detecting the work registration information associated with the user identifier of the user who has input the output instruction may be considered as one of the conditions.

  (Step S106) The work output unit 105 acquires information indicating one or more pieces of work registration information detected in step S105, and outputs a work list screen in which information indicating the work registration information is arranged. Information indicating each work registration information to be output may be directly associated with screen designation information or the like included in each work registration information. If the information indicating each work registration information to be output is not the work identifier of each work registration information, the information output as a list item is associated with the work identifier of each work registration information. Also good. If the work registration information cannot be detected in step S105, a work list screen having no work identifier may be displayed. Alternatively, an output indicating that the work registration information could not be detected may be output and the process may return to step S101 or the like.

  (Step S107) The work instruction receiving unit 106 determines whether or not a work instruction specifying an item of one list, that is, information indicating one work registration information, is received on the work list screen output in step S106. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S108. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S109.

(Step S108) The work screen output unit 107 outputs a work screen corresponding to information indicating work registration information specified by the work instruction received in step S107. For example, the work screen specified by the screen specification information included in the work registration information indicated by the information indicating the specified work registration information is output. If the information indicated by the work registration information is not a work identifier or does not have a work identifier, a work identifier associated with the information indicated by the work registration information is acquired, and this work identifier is associated. A work screen corresponding to the work registration information, specifically, a work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information is output. When the work registration information has an execution condition, a work screen that satisfies the execution condition may be output. For example, when the execution condition includes a query, a work screen on which data searched using the query is arranged may be acquired and output. In addition, when the work identifier on the work list screen is directly associated with the screen designation information, the work screen directly associated with the screen designation information associated with the designated work identifier may be output. good. Then, the process returns to step S101.
Note that after the work screen output unit 107 outputs the work screen in step S108, the information processing apparatus 1 appropriately executes processing such as input reception using the work screen or the like, processing using the received information, or the like. It may be. For example, after outputting a work screen, whether or not an instruction to perform work using the work screen (for example, a value input or output instruction) or other instructions such as work not using the work screen is received is illustrated. When the receiving unit or the like that does not perform determination and receives an instruction, a processing unit or the like (not shown) may execute a process according to the received instruction.

  (Step S109) The work output unit 105 determines whether to end the output of the work list screen. For example, it is determined whether or not an instruction to end the output of the work list screen has been received from the user. Alternatively, it may be determined that the output is to be terminated when a predetermined time has elapsed since the display of the work list screen. When it ends, the process proceeds to step S110, and when it does not end, the process returns to step S107.

(Step S110) The work output unit 105 ends the output of the work list screen. Then, the process returns to step S101.
In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by powering off or a process termination interrupt.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information processing apparatus 1 in the present embodiment will be described. Here, a case where the information processing apparatus 1 is an apparatus that performs processing related to financial accounting will be described as an example.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a menu screen output by the work screen output unit 107 or the like of the information processing apparatus 1. In this menu screen, each item is represented by a button and is hierarchized. When one button is pressed using a touch panel, mouse, etc., the menu item in the lower hierarchy is displayed as a button on the right side. Is displayed. It is assumed that a button 31 for displaying a work list screen is arranged on the upper right of the menu screen.

  For example, the user A logs in with the account “AcAdmin”, displays the menu screen 30 of the information processing apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. 3, and operates this to display the ledger of the accounting form. Suppose that the menu item to be selected is selected. Each menu item on the menu screen 30 shown in FIG. 3 is appropriately associated with screen data or the like corresponding to the menu item. Specifically, it is assumed that link information to screen data is set in the menu item. The link information here is, for example, link information to screen data stored in a storage unit (not shown) in the same information processing apparatus 1.

  FIG. 4 shows a setting screen 40 for setting conditions for displaying the ledger of the accounting form. It is assumed that the setting screen 40 also receives various buttons, input fields, list menus, and the like for receiving one or more conditions that can be set when displaying a ledger.

  When the user selects a menu item for displaying the ledger of the accounting form, the work screen output unit 107 or the like displays a setting screen 40 as shown in FIG. 4 corresponding to the selected menu item.

  In the setting screen 40 shown in FIG. 4, the user designates conditions such as the total range of the ledger to be displayed, the type of ledger to be displayed, and the presence / absence of tax processing, and presses a button 41 for displaying the screen. Then, the work screen output unit 107 acquires the ledger data that satisfies the conditions specified by the user on the setting screen 40 from the database of the information processing apparatus 1 or an external database by searching. The work screen output unit 107 reads a template (not shown) associated with the menu item selected above, and places the ledger data obtained by the search above on the ledger screen configured by the template. Then, the screen of the ledger obtained by arrangement is output, for example, displayed on a monitor (not shown). In addition, since the process etc. which comprise and output the screen which has arrange | positioned the data acquired by the search using a template are well-known in techniques, such as a database, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  FIG. 5 is a display example of the ledger screen 50 output by the work screen output unit 107.

  Suppose that the user considers periodically performing a work of repeatedly displaying and confirming the ledger as shown in FIG. 5 every month. Hereinafter, a case where such work is registered as work scheduled to be executed will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a display example of a work condition registration screen 60 for registering work conditions. This work condition registration screen is provided with various buttons, input fields, list menus, and the like for receiving work conditions. For example, it is assumed that the data on the work condition registration screen 60 is prepared in advance in association with the setting screen 40 shown in FIG.

  If the user presses the task registration button 42 to display the screen for performing condition setting as shown in FIG. 4 again and register the processing for displaying the ledger screen 40 as processing to be executed in the future, The screen output unit 107 displays a work condition registration screen 60 as shown in FIG. 6 on a monitor (not shown).

  It is assumed that the user inputs work conditions on the work condition registration screen 60 shown in FIG. For example, it is assumed that a character string “confirm the ledger for deposit items (month-end processing)” is input as a task name in the field 61 for inputting a task name in FIG. Further, it is assumed that the value “self” is selected in the field 61 for inputting the person in charge of the work. This value “self” means a user who is inputting work conditions, and the account “AcAdmin” of this user is input as the work conditions. Further, it is assumed that the button 63 for designating repetition of work is selected. Further, it is assumed that the date “2015/8/31” and the time “15:00” for the first work are entered in the field 64 for inputting the work due date. In the list menu 65 for selecting a repetition interval, it is assumed that a value “monthly” indicating that the repetition is performed every month is selected. In addition, it is assumed that “make the previous business day” is selected in the list menu 66 for setting a holiday avoidance method when the date of the date acquired from a calendar or the like (not shown) is a holiday. In this specific example, a combination of a task name and a due date is used as a work identifier.

  Then, when the user presses the registration button 67, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives the information input on the work condition registration screen 60 at the time of being pressed as the work information of the work designation information. Specifically, the task name “confirms the ledger of the deposit item (end-of-month processing)”, the user identifier “AcAdmin”, the information indicating that the repetition of the work is “present”, and the work deadline date “2015/8”. / 31 ", time" 15:00 ", work repetition interval" monthly ", holiday avoidance method" previous business day ", and the like.

  Note that one or more of the setting conditions input in FIG. 4 that do not contradict the work conditions input from the work condition registration screen shown in FIG. You may get it. The one or more conditions may be specified in advance, for example. Here, for example, it is assumed that the work designation accepting unit 101 accepts information such as the ledger type and tax processing input in FIG. 4 as the work conditions of the work designation information.

  Further, the work designation receiving unit 101 acquires link information to a template associated with the menu item selected above as screen designation information. For example, it is assumed that the screen designation information that is link information is “C: \ Users \ Username \ Template \ Motocho”. Note that “Motocho” is the file name of the same template as the template used in the output of FIG. In this way, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information having the screen designation information that is the link information and the work conditions accepted through the work condition registration screen 60 and the setting screen 40.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires one or more work registration information corresponding to the accepted work designation information. Specifically, first, from August 31st, 2015, every month, based on the value “Monthly” of the work repetition interval and the work due date “2015/8/31” of the work conditions included in the work designation information. It is determined to create work registration information with a date of “31st”. Here, assuming that creation of work registration information for one year is specified in advance by default, “15:00” of “31st” of every month from August 2015 to July 2016 is set as the due date. A total of 12 pieces of work registration information that each has are created. For the month without “31st”, the date closest to “31st” is used. However, if the date closest to 31st or 31st is a holiday depending on the value of the holiday avoidance method of the work condition, “the previous business day”, the previous business day is used as the deadline date. It is done. In addition, since the repetition indicated by the work condition is monthly, the search period of the data used for the ledger of each work registration information is in a range from “1 day” of the month including the due date of each work registration information to the due date. Get the execution condition to be set. In addition, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires the screen designation information included in the work designation information as it is as the screen designation information of each work registration information. In addition, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires other work conditions included in the work designation information as they are as execution conditions for each work registration information.

  Then, the work registration information storage unit 103 stores the acquired 12 pieces of work registration information in the work registration information storage unit 102, respectively.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a work registration information management table for managing work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. The work registration information management table has “ID”, “due date”, “task name”, “user ID”, “link”, and “other conditions”. “ID” is an identifier for managing work registration information. In this work registration information management table, one row indicates one work registration information. “Date” is the date of work. The “task name” is the name of the task, and is used as a work identifier in combination with the above “due date”. “User ID” is a user identifier, which is a user account here. “Link” is screen designation information, and here is template link information. “Other conditions” are work conditions other than the above. In “other conditions”, the character string before “:” (colon) indicates the attribute name of the condition, and the character string after it indicates the attribute value. For convenience of explanation, the above-mentioned other conditions are expressed using natural language. For example, the other conditions may be one or more functions corresponding to these natural languages, method names, “if”, “then”. It may be configured by a control syntax indicated by “ Further, the registration condition and the work condition may be an algorithm for performing determination processing corresponding to these natural languages. The same applies to other conditions.

  Similarly, it is assumed that work registration information for another work is additionally written in the work registration information storage unit 102 by performing the same process as described above for other work.

  Assume that the user A logs in to the information processing apparatus 1 at “9:25” of “2015/8/20” and presses the button 31 for displaying the work list screen on the menu screen as shown in FIG. The output instruction receiving unit 104 receives an output instruction. Here, according to the default setting, the output instruction reception unit 104 is work registration information having the user identifier of the logged-in user (here, the account “AcAdmin” of the user A), and the due date is the current date. Assume that an output instruction to output a work list having a work identifier of work registration information (here, work registration information whose due date is August) that is the date of the same month is accepted. Here, the user identifier and the period set from the current date and time may be considered as conditions for limiting the work identifier to be output.

  The work output unit 105 outputs a work list screen corresponding to the output instruction received by the work instruction receiving unit 106. Specifically, in the work registration information management table as shown in FIG. 7, “Date” is included in the “August date, that is,“ 2015/8/1 ”to“ 2015/8/31 ”range. A record (row) having a date and a “user ID” that matches “AcAdmin” is searched, and only the date portion of the attribute value of “task identifier” and the attribute value of “due date” of the detected record (However, excluding the year) is acquired, and a screen in which the acquired set is arranged in a list on a predesignated template or the like is configured, and the work list screen that is the configured screen is not shown on the monitor, etc. To display. Here, a record with “001” of “001” in FIG. 7 is detected by the above search, and the attribute value of “task identifier” of this record “confirm the ledger of deposit items (month end processing)” and “ A pair with the date “8/31” of the attribute value of “due date” is acquired. Similarly, from the record (not shown) of the work registration information management table, a set of “task identifier” “confirm the ledger of receivables and debts” and “date” of “8/31” is acquired. Then, a work list screen having these two sets as list items is displayed on a monitor (not shown). A character string of each line of this list, for example, a set of “confirm the ledger of deposit items (month end processing)” and “8/31”, is used here as a work identifier.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the work list screen 80.

  Here, suppose user A has a work identifier on the work list screen 80 having a work identifier that is a set of a character string “confirm the ledger for deposit items (month end processing)” and a character string “8/31”. If an operation for designating 81, for example, an operation for clicking using a mouse or the like is performed, the work instruction receiving unit 106 accepts the work designation in accordance with this operation, and acquires the task name and date of the designated line. In the work registration information shown in FIG. 7, “task name” is the task name acquired “check deposit account ledger (month-end processing)” and “date” is the date acquired. Work registration information including “8/31” is detected. Here, a record whose “ID” is “001” is detected in the work registration information management table. Then, the work registration information included in the detected record is arranged in a template prepared in advance for creating a confirmation screen, and the user is asked whether or not to output a work screen corresponding to the work registration information. A confirmation screen, which is a screen for confirmation, is output, for example, displayed on a monitor or the like.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of a confirmation screen 90 for confirming the output of the work screen.

  Then, it is assumed that the user presses a menu screen activation button 91 that is a button for agreeing to output the work screen. The work screen output unit 107 executes conditions for searching for data to be arranged on the work screen from the “other conditions” of the record whose “ID” is “001” in the work registration information management table shown in FIG. Acquisition of conditions, for example, execution conditions such as “search period” and “ledger type”, and using this information, information to be arranged on the work screen by searching from the database of the information processing apparatus 1 or an external database is acquired. To do. The work screen output unit 107 acquires link information that is an attribute value of “link” of a record whose “ID” in the work registration information management table is “001”, and creates a work screen from the location indicated by the link information. The template used for this purpose is read out, and the ledger screen obtained by the above search on the ledger screen constructed using this template, the record information of the work registration information management table whose “ID” is “001”, etc. Are arranged in accordance with the designation of the template and the like, and the ledger screen obtained by arrangement is output, for example, displayed on a monitor (not shown).

  As a result, a work screen similar to that shown in FIG. 5 can be output. However, the data output period and the like of the work screen output here are different from those in FIG. In this specific example, it does not matter what processing is performed using the information processing apparatus 1 on the output work screen.

  Note that the display of the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9 may be omitted, and the work screen may be output.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a list screen for confirming work registration information.

  In the above specific example, before the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires one or more pieces of work registration information according to the work designation information and stores them in the work registration information storage unit 102, as shown in FIG. A list screen of the acquired work registration information is created and output (for example, displayed) in the same manner as the above-described work list screen, and it can be confirmed whether or not appropriate work registration information has been created from the displayed list screen. You may do it.

  In addition, when designation of a work identifier corresponding to one work registration information is received on this list screen, the content of the work registration information corresponding to this work identifier is output (for example, displayed), and the output work registration information Modifications and changes to the above may be received for each work registration information via a reception unit (not shown) or the like.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to register work scheduled to be performed by the user using the screen and to view the registered work in a batch.

  In the above specific example, when the work designation information is received, the work registration information storage unit 103 creates work registration information for each repeated operation to be performed repeatedly, and creates the created work. Although the registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, the work registration information storage unit 103 dynamically acquires and outputs a plurality of work screens as described above for the work to be repeatedly executed. One piece of work registration information having information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes with output of the screen as described above according to one piece of work designation information. You may make it acquire and accumulate | store. One piece of work registration information to be accumulated here is, for example, a condition for specifying each time out of repetitively executed work, for example, a condition for designating a date on which the work is repeatedly executed, a repeated time interval, and the like. Work registration information having an execution condition including

  When the output instruction accepting unit 104 accepts an output instruction, the work output unit 105 repeats the work registration information about the one piece of work registration information acquired for such repeated work. It is determined whether or not the date when the output instruction is received satisfies the execution condition indicating the condition under which the work is performed. When the information is satisfied, information indicating the one piece of work registration information, for example, a work identifier may be acquired, and a work list screen having information indicating the work registration information may be configured and displayed. It is preferable that the information indicating the one work registration information is information that can identify one work among the repeated work indicated by the one work registration information.

  For example, in the above specific example, the work registration information acquired by the work registration information storage unit 103 dynamically acquires a plurality of work screens as described above according to the work designation information input from the screen of FIG. A case where the information is one piece of work registration information having information to be output will be described below.

  If the work designation information input from the screen of FIG. 6 is the work designation information having the same task name as the above-described specific example, such as “confirm the deposit account ledger (month-end processing)”, the work registration information storage unit 103, it is assumed that one piece of work registration information having the screen designation information included in the work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101 is acquired and accumulated in the work registration information storage unit 102. Further, the one piece of work registration information accumulated here includes the work repetition interval value “monthly” which is the work condition included in the work designation information, the work due date “2015/8/31”, and the like. It is assumed that the work registration information is as follows.

  Assume that the output instruction receiving unit 104 receives an output instruction from the user to “2015/10/31”. In the work output unit 105, the execution condition of the one piece of work registration information is “2015/8/31”, which is a date for specifying the work repetition interval value “monthly” and the start date and due date of the work. This work registration information designates “31st day” of every month after “2015/8/31” as a date for performing work, and the date “2015” when the output instruction is received. Since “/ 10/31” is “31st” of the month after “2015/8/31”, the date of performing one operation among the operations performed repeatedly indicated by this one operation registration information It is determined that the condition for is satisfied. For this reason, the work output unit 105 acquires a work identifier that can identify one work for the work registration information. Specifically, the task name “Check deposit ledger (end-of-month processing)” included in the execution condition and “31st” of “October”, which is the month including the date when the output instruction is received, are shown as the due date. A pair with the information “10/31” is acquired as a work identifier, and a work list screen on which this work identifier is arranged is output. This work list screen is, for example, a screen corresponding to the work list screen shown in FIG.

  On the work list screen output here, the work instruction accepting unit 106 designates the items of the list having the combination of “confirm the ledger of deposit items (month end processing)” and “10/31”. If the instruction is received, the work screen output unit 107 first day of October, which is a month including the date of receiving the output instruction, according to the execution condition of the one work registration information corresponding to the specified work instruction. The data from the period “10/1” to the last day “10/31” is acquired by a search using a query or the like from a storage unit (not shown), and the acquired data has the above-mentioned one work registration information. A work screen arranged in a template or the like designated by the screen designation information is output. In this way, it is possible to dynamically output a work list screen or work screen according to the date on which the output instruction is received.

  Note that the information processing apparatus 1 described in the present embodiment may be realized as a function of the first application software when the first application software is executed using a processor such as an MPU or a CPU. good.

  The information processing apparatus 1 according to the present invention may include an execution unit (not shown) that can execute the first application software. In this case, the work designation receiving unit 101 of the information processing apparatus 1 accepts work designation information from the first application software, and the work registration information storage unit 103 receives the first application according to the received work designation information. Work registration information on processing realized as a software function may be acquired and stored in the work registration information storage unit 102.

(Embodiment 2)
In the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus described in the above embodiment is realized as a function of the first application software when the first application software is executed using an MPU, a CPU, or the like. Yes, the second application software different from the first application software can be executed by using the same MPU or CPU as described above, and the information processing apparatus stores the work registration information acquired for the second application software. A modification example in which the information shown can be output will be described.

  FIG. 11 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the information processing apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment. The information processing apparatus 2 includes a work designation receiving unit 201, a work registration information storage unit 202, a work registration information storage unit 203, an output instruction receiving unit 204, a work output unit 205, a work instruction receiving unit 206, and a work screen output unit 207. .

  It is assumed that the information processing apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment is realized as a function of the first application software when the first application software is executed by a processor such as an MPU or a CPU. For example, the first application software is stored in a storage unit such as a hard disk 914 such as a computer as shown in FIG. 16 to be described later, and the first application software is executed by a processor such as the MPU 911 or CPU shown in FIG. The information processing apparatus 2 is realized as a function in the case of a failure. The first application software is, for example, software used for work related to finance, accounting, human resources, inventory management, etc. performed in corporations such as companies and organizations.

  The work designation accepting unit 201 designates one or more work designations for designating one or more works performed by using the one or more screens output by causing the work designation accepting unit 101 to execute the first application software. It is designed to accept information. The one or more screens output by executing the first application software are, for example, an input screen of the first application software, a screen showing a processing result, and the like. The reception of the work designation information here may be considered as reception of the work designation information for the first application software. Since other configurations and the like are the same as those of the work designation receiving unit 101, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work registration information storage unit 202 is configured to store first work registration information (to be described later) acquired by the work registration information storage unit 203 in the work registration information storage unit 102 as work registration information. The work registration information storage unit 202 may be considered as a storage unit accessible by the processor. For example, the work registration information storage unit 202 may be a storage unit such as the hard disk 914 in FIG. Since other configurations are the same as those of the work registration information storage unit 102, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work registration information storage unit 203 acquires work registration information according to the work designation information received by the work designation reception unit 201 in the work registration information storage unit 103, and uses the acquired work registration information as the first application. It is stored as work registration information regarding work performed using software. Here, the work registration information related to the work performed using the first application software is referred to as first work registration information.

  Processing of the work registration information storage unit 203, for example, one or more pieces of work registration information are acquired according to the work specification information received by the work specification receiving unit 201, and the acquired work registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit. Since the process stored in 202 and other processes are substantially the same as the work registration information storage unit 103 of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work registration information storage unit 203 may store first work registration information associated with an application identifier or the like for identifying first application software in the work registration information storage unit 202. Accumulating the first work registration information associated with the application identifier or the like may be accumulating a set of the application identifier or the like and the first work registration information. One piece of work registration information may be stored. The same applies to the case where second work registration information associated with an application identifier or the like, which will be described later, is accumulated. The application identifier is, for example, an application software name, a file name of an execution file of the application software, or the like. The application identifier of the first application software may be information such as a flag indicating the first application software. The application identifier of the first application software may be considered as the identifier of the first work registration information.

  Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that second application software different from the first application software can be executed by the same processor as a CPU or MPU that executes the first application software. For example, the second application software is stored in a storage unit such as a hard disk 914 such as a computer as shown in FIG. 16 to be described later, and is executed by a processor such as the MPU 911 and CPU shown in FIG. Further, here, by executing the second application software, it is possible to realize the same function as that of the information processing apparatus 2, and work registration information relating to work performed using the second application software. Can be acquired and stored. Here, the work registration information related to the work performed using the second application software is referred to as second work registration information. Here, the second work registration information acquired by executing the second application software is accumulated in, for example, a second work registration information storage unit (not shown) that can be accessed by the processor or the like. . For example, the second work registration information storage unit may be a storage unit such as the hard disk 914 in FIG. The work registration information storage unit 102 and the second work registration information storage unit may be realized by a single storage unit. When accumulating the second work registration information acquired by executing the second application software, the second work registration information is associated with an application identifier or the like for identifying the second application software and stored in the second work registration information storage unit. You may make it accumulate. The application identifier is the same as described above. The application identifier of the second application software may be considered as the identifier of the second work registration information. The second application software is, for example, software similar to the first application software as described above. However, the first application software and the second application software are preferably different software.

  The output instruction reception unit 204 is the same as the output instruction reception unit 104 except that the output instruction is an instruction to output the first work registration information and the second work registration information. The detailed explanation is omitted. The output instruction here may be considered as an output instruction for the first application software.

  The work output unit 205 relates to the work performed using the first work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 202 and the second application software in accordance with the output instruction received by the output instruction receiving unit 204. Information indicating the second work registration information as the work registration information is output. For example, the work output unit 205 acquires information indicating the first work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 202, for example, a work identifier. Further, the work output unit 205 acquires information indicating second work registration information stored in a second work registration information storage unit (not shown), for example, a work identifier. And the information which shows the acquired 1st work registration information and the information which shows 2nd work registration information are output. For example, the work output unit 205 outputs a work list screen similar to the work list screen of the first embodiment, which has the work identifier of the first work registration information and the work identifier of the second work registration information. .

  When the work output unit 205 acquires the second work registration information, the work output unit 205 outputs an instruction, a command, or the like for transmitting the second work registration information to the second application software, Information indicating the second work registration information output by the second application software in response to this output may also be acquired.

  When the work output unit 205 obtains information indicating the first work registration information, the work output unit 205 also obtains and outputs an application identifier of the first application software associated with the first work registration information. It may be associated with one work registration information. Similarly, when acquiring information indicating the second work registration information, the application identifier of the second application software associated with the second work registration information is also acquired and output. You may make it match | combine with.

  For example, the work output unit 205 identifies one or more work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 202 and the second work registration information storage unit (not shown), for example, in response to receiving an output instruction. A work list screen that is a screen having one or more of one or more work identifiers is output. The one or more work identifiers here may be the work identifiers of the first work registration information, the work identifiers of the second work registration information, or a combination thereof.

  The work output unit 205 may be capable of appropriately performing the same process as the work output unit 105 described in the first embodiment as a process other than the above. For example, when the work output unit 205 acquires information indicating the first work registration information and information indicating the second work registration information, as in the work output unit 105 described in the first embodiment, Information indicating work registration information that satisfies a predesignated condition may be output. Since the conditions specified in advance are the same as the conditions used by the work output unit 105, detailed description thereof is omitted here. Alternatively, the first work registration information and the second work registration information may be dynamically acquired and information indicating these work registration information may be output.

  The work output unit 205 may output the information indicating the first work registration information and the information indicating the second work registration information so as to be visually distinguishable. For visually distinguishable output, for example, output in a different display mode, for example, output in a different appearance may be considered. The visually distinguishable output includes, for example, information indicating work registration information in which one or more combinations of character modifications such as character color, background color, font, thickness, underline, etc., such as work identifiers, The list item in which the work identifier is arranged is output to a screen such as a work list screen.

  It does not matter how the work output unit 205 determines information indicating the first work registration information and information indicating the second work registration information. For example, when information indicating the first work registration information or information indicating the second work registration information is associated with the application identifier, the work output unit 205 uses the application identifier to acquire the acquired work registration. It is determined whether the information indicating the information is information indicating first work registration information or information indicating second work registration information. If the associated application identifier is that of the first application software, it is determined that the information is information indicating the first work registration information. If the associated application identifier is that of the second application software, The second work registration information is determined to be information. In addition, when the first work registration information and the second work registration information are stored in different storage units, the work registration information is determined according to the location where the work registration information indicated by the information indicating the work registration information is stored. It may be determined whether the information to be displayed is information indicating the first work registration information or information indicating the second work registration information. If the location where the work registration information indicated by the information indicating the work registration information is stored is the work registration information storage unit 202, it is determined that the information indicates the first work registration information. It may be determined that the information indicates the second work registration information. The configuration and processing of the work output unit 205 other than those described above are the same as those of the work output unit 105, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work instruction reception unit 206 receives an instruction indicating one piece of work registration information among pieces of information indicating the first work registration information and the second work registration information output from the work output unit 205. For example, the work instruction receiving unit 206 is one of pieces of information indicating a work list screen having a work identifier of the first work registration information and a work identifier of the second work registration information output by the work output unit 205, respectively. An instruction indicating the work registration information is accepted. Here, since the information processing apparatus 2 is realized as a function of the first application software, for example, the instruction received by the work instruction receiving unit 206 may be considered as an instruction received from the first application software. Since the other configuration and processing of the work instruction receiving unit 206 are the same as those of the work instruction receiving unit 106 described above, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work screen output unit 207 is designated when the work instruction specifying the information indicating the one work registration information received by the work instruction receiving unit 206 is an instruction specifying the information indicating the first work registration information. A work screen used for work according to the first work registration information is output. In addition, the work screen output unit 207 receives the second instruction when the instruction specifying the information indicating the one work registration information received by the work instruction receiving unit 206 is the instruction specifying the information indicating the second work registration information. The application software is executed to output a work screen used for work according to the designated second work registration information. For example, when the work registration information specified by the work instruction received by the work instruction receiving unit 206 is the second work registration information, the work screen output unit 207 executes the second application software, The work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the second work registration information is output.

  For example, the work screen output unit 207, when the instruction specifying the one work identifier received by the work instruction receiving unit 206 is an instruction specifying the work identifier indicating the first work registration information, The work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information is output. In addition, the work screen output unit 207 determines that the second application software if the instruction to specify one work identifier received by the work instruction reception unit 206 is an instruction to specify a work identifier indicating the second work registration information. To output the work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the designated second work registration information.

  The work screen output unit 207 determines whether the instruction for specifying one work identifier received by the work instruction receiving unit 206, for example, the work registration information indicated by the instruction for specifying the work identifier is the first work registration information. It may be determined in any way whether or not it is the work registration information. For example, in the work list screen as described above, when determining whether the work identifier to be output corresponds to the first work registration information or the second work registration information. It may be determined whether the work registration information indicated by the instruction for specifying the work identifier is the first work registration information or the second work registration information by the same judgment process as the process. For example, the determination may be made by determining whether the application identifier associated with the work identifier is that of the first application software or the second application software.

  When the instruction to specify information indicating one piece of work registration information received by the work instruction receiving unit 206, for example, a work identifier, is an instruction to specify information indicating the first work registration information, the work screen output unit 207 However, for the process of outputting the work screen used for the work according to the designated first work registration information, the work screen output unit 107 performs the work used for the work according to the designated work registration information. Since it is the same as the process of outputting the screen, detailed description is omitted here.

  When the instruction to specify information indicating one piece of work registration information received by the work instruction receiving unit 206, for example, a work identifier, is an instruction to specify a work identifier indicating the second work registration information, the work screen output unit 207 Outputs, for example, an instruction for outputting a work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the second work registration information indicated by the designated work identifier to the second application software. This instruction is, for example, information having a designated work identifier. Upon receiving this instruction, the second application software reads the second work registration information designated by this instruction, and outputs a work screen corresponding to the read second work registration information. For example, the work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the read work registration information is output. Further, when the second application software is not activated, an instruction to activate the second application software may be further output. The work screen output by the second application software, the template for creating the work screen, and the like may be stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown).

  The process in which the work screen output unit 207 outputs a work screen according to the first work registration information and the process in which the second application software outputs a work screen according to the second work registration information are: The process of outputting the work screen corresponding to the work registration information by the work screen output unit 107 is the same, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The configuration and processing of the work screen output unit 207 other than those described above are the same as those of the work screen output unit 107, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 2 in the present embodiment. Here, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2 indicate the same or similar processing. However, the processing performed by each unit of the information processing apparatus 1 in FIG. 2 is performed by each corresponding unit of the information processing apparatus 2 here.

  (Step S <b> 205) The work output unit 205 detects first work registration information satisfying a predetermined output condition from the first work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 202.

  (Step S206) The work output unit 205 receives a second work registration that satisfies a predetermined output condition from a storage unit (not shown) in which the second application software stores the second work registration information. Detect information.

  (Step S207) The work output unit 205 acquires a work identifier of one or more first work registration information detected in step S205. In addition, the work output unit 205 acquires a work identifier of one or more second work registration information detected in step S206. Then, a work list screen on which the obtained work identifiers are arranged is output. In the work list screen, the work identifier of the first work registration information (or the list item in which this work identifier is arranged) and the work identifier of the second work registration information (or a list in which this work identifier is arranged) Item) is output so as to be visually distinguishable. The work identifier corresponding to the second work registration information is associated with the application identifier of the second application software. Note that the identifier of the second work registration information may be associated. Further, when the work identifier corresponding to the first work registration information includes an identifier indicating that it corresponds to the first work registration information, or the work identifier corresponding to the second work registration information, When the identifier indicating that the work registration information corresponds is included, it is not necessary to associate the application identifier and the identifier of the second work registration information. Then, the process proceeds to step S107.

  (Step S208) If the work instruction received by the work instruction receiving unit 106 specifies information indicating the first work registration information, the process proceeds to step S108, and if not specified, that is, the second work If information indicating registration information is designated, the process proceeds to step S209. Whether or not the work instruction specifies information indicating the first work registration information is, for example, information indicating the work registration information specified by the work instruction, for example, the work identifier of the first application software. The determination can be made based on whether it is associated with the application identifier or whether it is associated with the identifier of the first work registration information.

  (Step S209) The work screen output unit 207 transmits an instruction to output the work screen to the second application software. For example, an instruction having information indicating the work registration information received in step S107 and outputting a work screen corresponding to the work registration information indicated by the information is transmitted to the second application software. Then, the process returns to step S101.

Hereinafter, a specific example of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 13 is a second work registration information management table for managing the second work registration information. In FIG. 13, the same attributes as those in FIG. 7 indicate the same or corresponding attributes. The “link” is link information to a work screen template output by the second application software.

  Here, the work registration information accumulating unit 203 performs the same processing as the specific example of the above-described embodiment, acquires the first work registration information as shown in the work registration information management table shown in FIG. It is assumed that the registration information storage unit 202 has accumulated. Further, the second application software also performs the same process as the process in which the work registration information storage unit 203 acquires the first work registration information, and the second application software as shown in the work registration information management table shown in FIG. It is assumed that work registration information has been acquired and accumulated in a second work registration information storage unit (not shown).

  Assume that the output instruction receiving unit 204 receives an output instruction for displaying a work list screen from the user A at “9:25” of “2015/8/20”, as in the specific example of the above embodiment.

  The work output unit 205 confirms the attribute value “task identifier” “deposit ledger of the deposit item” according to the output instruction from the work registration information management table shown in FIG. ) ”And the date“ 8/31 ”of the attribute value of“ due date ”, the attribute value of“ task identifier ”“ confirm the ledger of the receivables and payables item ”, and the date“ 8/31 "is acquired.

  Further, the work output unit 205 performs the same processing as in the specific example of the above embodiment, and from the second work registration information management table shown in FIG. A set of “invoice issue by billing destination” and date “8/31” of the attribute value of “due date” is acquired. Then, the acquired set is arranged in a list on a template or the like designated in advance to create a work list screen. At the time of arrangement, for example, for the information set acquired from the second work registration information management table shown in FIG. 13, the background color is set to a different background color from the other sets. The list item corresponding to this set is associated with the application identifier “seikyu” of the second application software. Then, the work output unit 205 displays the created work list screen on a monitor or the like (not shown).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the work list screen 140 output from the work output unit 205. As shown in the figure, the information indicating the second work registration information can be output so as to be visually distinguishable from the information indicating the first work registration information.

  Here, it is assumed that the user A performs an operation for designating a row 141 having a task name “Billing by billing destination” and a due date “8/31” on the work list screen 140, such as a mouse. Assuming that an operation of clicking is performed, the work instruction receiving unit 206 receives a work designation according to this operation, and acquires the task name and date of the designated line. The work screen output unit 207 determines whether or not the application identifier “seikyu” of the second application software is associated with the list item in this row. Here, since they are associated with each other, a work screen corresponding to the second work registration information corresponding to the combination of the task name “Billing by billing destination” and the date “8/31” acquired above is output. An instruction to make it transmitted is transmitted to the second application software.

  When the second application software receives an instruction having a set of the task name “Billing by billing destination” and the date “8/31”, from the second work registration information management table shown in FIG. A record (line) in which “task name” is “billing by invoice destination” and “due date” includes “8/31” is detected. Then, the second application software acquires information that satisfies the condition indicated by “other conditions” of the detected record, and the acquired information is read from the location indicated by the detected record “link” A work screen corresponding to this work registration information is created and placed on a template and displayed on a monitor, for example.
