  In step S100, the person-in-charge terminal 110 performs a search process for registered documents (see FIG. 5 for details), and in step S102, the person-in-charge terminal 110 is obtained by searching in step S100. Among the registered documents, information (for example, a registered document code, which will be described in detail later) selected by the user on the list screen 700 (see FIG. 10, details will be described later) is transmitted to the server 106.

  In step S104, the server 106 receives the document information transmitted from the person-in-charge terminal 110 in step S102. In step S106, the server 106 displays the registered document corresponding to the document information received in step S104. 16 from the registered document table 1200 shown in FIG.

  The registered document table 1200 includes a registered document code for uniquely identifying a registered document, a serial number indicating the number of times a page document has been replaced, a page code for managing a page update history, and a page number. , Including a capture date and time indicating the date and time when the document was registered, a time stamp given to the registered document, and a deletion date and time indicating the date and time when the page was deleted.

  Originally, the page number needs to be unique for one document. For example, as shown in FIG. 14, the document of the page specified from the record in the third row from the top row is It is shown that the record has been replaced from the top row to the sixth row record. In this case, in order to avoid duplication of the third page of the document, the page code having the maximum page code with respect to the page number is shown. Is the document on the current page.

  In addition, since a document to be registered is registered for each file, even if one document includes a plurality of pages, it is registered as one file, and the file is a combination of a registered document code and a serial number. Are registered in the registered document table 1200 so as to be unique (for example, as a file name).

  Therefore, each time a page is replaced, a document newly registered for the page to be replaced is generated for each file.

  In addition, the time stamp given to a document is left to the operation such as when it is given to a registered document according to a regular schedule (predetermined time, predetermined time interval, etc.), or when it is given at the timing when the document is registered. Is granted.

  Also, after registering a new registered document (no page replacement has been performed) and giving a time stamp, a time stamp is also given to a document newly registered for the page to be replaced.

  The time stamp may be given by the server 106, but may be given by a dedicated server (not shown) that gives the time stamp.

  In the registered document table 1200 shown in FIG. 16, one time stamp is assigned to the first page for one document (one file), but may be assigned to all pages.

  In step S108, the server 106 transmits the document acquired in step S106 to the person-in-charge terminal 110.

  In step S110, the person-in-charge terminal 110 receives the document transmitted in step S108. In step S112, the person-in-charge terminal 110 displays the document received in step S110 on the image display screen 800 shown in FIG. To do.

  The image display screen 800 includes a display area 801 for displaying an image of a document, a return button 802 for pressing when displaying the previous page of the document, and a forward button for pressing when displaying the next page of the document. 803, and a page display unit 804 for displaying the page of the currently displayed document with respect to the total pages of the document.

  The image display screen 800 also includes a replacement button 805 for pressing when replacing the document of the currently displayed page, and an attribute information input area 806 (for inputting attribute information for the document of the currently displayed page). For example, a customer code, a customer name, etc.), a registration button 807 to be pressed when registering attribute information input to the attribute information input area 806, and an end button 808 to be pressed to close this screen It has.

  In this step, the received document image is displayed in the display area 801.

  In step S114, the person-in-charge terminal 110 determines whether or not the replacement button 805 on the image display screen 800 is pressed. If it is determined that the button is pressed, the process proceeds to step S116.

  In step S <b> 116, the person-in-charge terminal 110 transmits the document code including the registered document code, page number, and page code of the document displayed in the display area 801 to the server 106.

  In step S118, the server 106 receives the document code transmitted from the person-in-charge terminal 110 in step S116. In step S120, the server 106 uses the registered document code, page number, and the like from the document code received in step S118. Get the page code.

  In step S122, the server 106 generates information of a page to be replaced using the registered document code, page number, and page code acquired in step S120. For example, information including a registered document code, a page number, and a page code is generated as a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark).

  In step S124, the server 106 generates a print job so that the information on the page to be replaced generated in step S122 can be printed. In step S126, the server 106 outputs the print job generated in step S124 to the printing device. To 108.

  In step S128, the printing apparatus 108 receives the print job transmitted from the server 106 in step S126. In step S130, the printing apparatus 108 executes the print job received in step S128.

  In step S132, the printing apparatus 108 prints and outputs the information of the page to be replaced on the printing paper by executing the print job.

  Next, document search processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S200, the person-in-charge terminal 110 displays a search screen 600 shown in FIG. The search screen 600 accepts an input such as a registered document code for uniquely identifying a registered document or a date when the document is registered as a document search condition, and presses a search button 601 to satisfy the search condition. Get the document.

  In step S202, the person-in-charge terminal 110 determines whether the search button 601 has been pressed. If it is determined that the search button 601 has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S204.

  In step S <b> 204, the person-in-charge terminal 110 acquires the search condition input on the search screen 600 and transmits it to the server 106.

  In step S206, the server 106 receives the search condition transmitted from the person-in-charge terminal 110 in step S204, and in step S208, the server 106 retrieves a document satisfying the search condition received in step S206 from the registered document table 1200. get.

  In step S210, the server 106 transmits the document acquired in step S208 to the person-in-charge terminal 110.

  In step S212, the person-in-charge terminal 110 receives the document transmitted in step S210. In step S214, the person-in-charge terminal 110 displays the document received in step S212 on the list screen 700 shown in FIG. .

  The list screen 700 displays documents that satisfy the search conditions as a list, and displays information related to the documents in the list display area 701.

  The user displays information on the selected document on the image display screen 800 by selecting information about the document displayed in the list display area 701.

  Next, a process for registering the replaced page document will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S300, the scanner apparatus 102 determines whether or not the scan start button 901 on the scan capture screen 900 (see FIG. 12) displayed on the administrator terminal 104 has been pressed. The process proceeds to step S302.

  In step S <b> 302, the scanner device 102 scans the inserted printing paper, and in step S <b> 304, the scanner device 102 transmits the data obtained by scanning in step S <b> 302 via the administrator terminal 104 to the server 106. Send to.

  In this step, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, the user scans a printed material on which information of a page to be replaced is printed, and then scans a newly registered document with respect to the page to be replaced.

  In step S306, the server 106 receives the scan data transmitted from the scanner apparatus 102 in step S304.

  In step S308, the server 106 determines whether or not the page data to be replaced is included in the scan data received in step S306. If it is determined that the page information is included, the server 106 proceeds to step S310. If not determined to be included, the process proceeds to step S312.

  In step S310, the server 106 acquires the registered document code, page number, and page code included in the page information to be replaced, and sets the maximum sequential number in the registered document table 1200 corresponding to the registered document code. In addition to incrementing by 1, the maximum value of the page code corresponding to the registered document code and page number is incremented by 1 and registered in the registered document table 1200.

  Further, the registration date / time is stored in the registration document code, the page number, and the deletion date / time of the record of the registration document table 1200 corresponding to the page code included in the page information to be replaced.

  When the scan data is received as a plurality of files, the document related to the scan data following the page information to be replaced is registered with the page information to be replaced as a delimiter.

  That is, after registering a document related to scan data following the page information to be replaced, if scan information includes page information to be replaced next, the scan data following the page information to be replaced next Register documents related to.

  In step S312, the server 106 issues a unique registered document code as a new document and registers it in the registered document table 1200.

  Next, document reference processing will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In step S400, when it is detected that the login button 501 of the login screen 500 shown in FIG. 8 is pressed in the terminal 110 for the person in charge, the user input to the login screen 500 in the terminal 110 for the person in charge in step S402. User information such as an ID and password is transmitted to the server 106.

  In step S404, the server 106 receives the user information transmitted from the person-in-charge terminal 110 in step S402. In step S406, the server 106 stores the user information received in step S404 in the user table 1100 shown in FIG. Authentication processing is performed depending on whether or not it exists.

  The user table 1100 includes a user ID for uniquely identifying a user, a password, and an auditor flag for identifying whether the user is a person in charge or an auditor. As for the auditor flag, the user who is registered TRUE is an auditor, and the user who is registered FALSE is a person in charge.

  In this step, if the user ID and password of the user information exist in the user table 1100, authentication is performed, and if not, authentication is not performed and the process of step S400 is performed again. When the authentication is performed, information on whether the user is a person in charge or an auditor is also acquired from the auditor flag corresponding to the user ID.

  In step S408, the person-in-charge terminal 110 performs the search process shown in FIG.

  In step S410, the person-in-charge terminal 110 transmits, to the server 106, information (for example, registered document code) regarding the document selected for the list screen 700 by the user among the registered documents obtained by searching in step S408. Send.

  In step S412, the server 106 receives the document information transmitted from the person-in-charge terminal 110 in step S410. In step S414, the server 106 determines in step S406 whether the logged-in user is a person in charge or an auditor. If it is determined based on the acquired auditor flag and it is determined that the person is in charge, the process proceeds to step S416. If it is determined that the person is an auditor, the process proceeds to step S418.

  In step S416, the server 106 acquires a document corresponding to the document information received in step S412 from the registered document table 1200.

  At this time, since the logged-in user is the person in charge, it is not necessary to refer to the document before replacement, and only the document after replacement is referred to.

  Therefore, it is necessary to specify a file related to a document displayed on each page for one document.

  For example, when there is a registered document as shown in FIG. 16, for the first, second, fourth, and fifth pages, a file with a registered document code of 000000001 and a serial number of NULL is referred to. For the third page, a file having a registered document code of 000000001 and a serial number of 1 is referred to.

  That is, if there is a record with the same page number for the same registered document code, the record with the largest page code is acquired, and any file (page Whether to refer to the page information is acquired as page information.

  In step S418, the server 106 acquires a document corresponding to the document information received in step S412 from the registered document table 1200.

  At this time, since the logged-in user is an auditor, it is necessary to refer to the document before replacement, and also to refer to the document after replacement.

  Therefore, for one document, it is necessary to specify files related to the document before replacement and all documents newly registered for the page to be replaced.

  For example, if there is a registered document as shown in FIG. 16, for the first to fifth pages, a file with a registered document code of 000000001 and a serial number of NULL is referred to. , A file having a registered document code of 000000001 and a serial number of 1 is referred to.

  Therefore, all the records are acquired for the same registered document code, and which file (including page) is referred to on each page from the registered document code and the serial number is acquired as page information.

  In other words, page information (in order of pages referred to by the page code) is acquired so that the newly registered document is sequentially referred to the page to be replaced to the next page after the last page of the first registered document. .

  In step S420, the server 106 acquires a document based on the page information acquired in step S416 or step S418.

  In step S422, the server 106 transmits the document acquired in step S420 to the person-in-charge terminal 110.

  In step S424, the person-in-charge terminal 110 receives the document transmitted from the server 106 in step S422. In step S426, the person-in-charge terminal 110 displays the document received in step S424 on the display area of the image display screen 800. It displays on 801.

  As described above, when the image display screen 800 is displayed, the documents that can be referred to differ depending on whether the logged-in user is a person in charge or an auditor.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 14, when the document 1002 of the third page is changed to a document 1004 newly registered for the page to be replaced with respect to the document 1000 before the replacement, a document 1006 after the replacement is obtained. To do.

  When the logged-in user is a person in charge, the total number of pages (5) of the replaced document 1006 is displayed on the display unit 804 of the image display screen 800 as shown in FIG. In the display area 801 800, the replaced document 1006 is sequentially displayed according to the page turning operation.

  On the other hand, when the logged-in user is an auditor, as shown in FIG. 13, a new document to be registered for the page to be replaced with the document 1000 before replacement is displayed on the display unit 804 of the image display screen 800. The total number of pages (6) including 1004 is displayed. In the display area 801 of the image display screen 800, a document to be newly registered for a page to be replaced with the next page of the last page of the document 1000 before replacement. 1004 are sequentially displayed.

  When the logged-in user is a person in charge, the display order is displayed based on the page information acquired in step S416. On the other hand, when the logged-in user is an auditor, the display order is determined in step S418. Display based on the acquired page information.

  More specifically, one file having a document before replacement (for example, document 1000 shown in FIG. 14) and a document newly registered for the page to be replaced (for example, document 1004 shown in FIG. 14). One file provided and the corresponding file as the document of the page to be displayed (for example, as shown in FIG. ) To display.

  In step S428, the person-in-charge terminal 110 determines whether the return button 802 or the forward button 803 on the image display screen 800 has been pressed. If it is determined that the button has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S430. If not determined to have been performed, the process proceeds to step S432.

  In step S430, the person-in-charge terminal 110 displays the document of the next or previous page of the currently displayed page in accordance with which button of the return button 802 or the forward button 803 is pressed. The display unit 804 displays a transition destination page.

In step S432, the person-in-charge terminal 110 closes the image display screen 800 when determining that the end button 808 has been pressed, ends the process, and if not determined to have pressed, advances the process to step S428. .
"Modification"
Next, a modified example will be described. In the above-described embodiment, a case where a page is replaced after a time stamp is provided has been described. However, in this modified example, before a time stamp is assigned, a page is replaced. A case where the replacement is performed will be described.

  Note that the embodiment and the modification have substantially the same configuration and perform substantially the same processing, and therefore detailed description thereof will be omitted, and only different configuration and processing will be described in detail.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of a registered document table 1200. A document whose registered document code is 000000001 is registered at 12:00 on December 1, 2016, and then, for example, the administrator modifies the document. The document registered to replace the page, that is, the document with the registered document code 000000001 and the serial number 01 was registered at 12:30 on December 1, 2016. Show.

  After that, it is shown that the time stamp is given to these registered documents at 14:00 on December 1, 2016.

  In this case, according to the legal system, it is not necessary for the auditor to refer to the part that was replaced before the time stamp was given. It will be referred to.

  Therefore, in step S416, since the logged-in user is a person in charge, the same processing as in the above-described embodiment is performed, but step S418 is different in processing from the above-described embodiment.

  In step S418, the server 106 acquires a document corresponding to the document information received in step S412 from the registered document table 1200.

  At this time, since the logged-in user is an auditor, it is necessary to refer to the documents before and after the replacement, and it is necessary to refer to the documents replaced before the time stamp is given. Absent.

  Therefore, for one document, the document before replacement and the document newly registered for the page to be replaced and registered before the time stamp given to the document before replacement are replaced. It is necessary to specify files related to all documents that are newly registered with respect to the page and are registered after the time stamp given to the document before replacement.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 17, when there are registered documents, for the first, second, fourth, and fifth pages, a file with a registered document code of 000000001 and a serial number of NULL is stored. Let me refer to it.

  For the third page, a file having a registered document code of 000000001 and a serial number of 1 is referred to.

  Although not shown in the drawing, all records are referred to for a document newly registered with respect to a page to be replaced, which is registered after the time stamp given to the document before replacement.

  Therefore, it is a record with the same page number for the same registered document code, and the acquisition date and time of the newly registered document for the page to be replaced is the one before the time stamp of the document before replacement. If there is, the record with the largest page code is acquired. On the other hand, if it is after the time stamp of the document before replacement, the record of the document before replacement on the page and the page to be replaced are newly added. Records of all documents to be registered are acquired, and from the registered document code and serial number, which file (including page) is referred to on each page is acquired as page information.

  In other words, if the document to be newly registered for the page to be replaced is registered before the time stamp given to the registered document before replacement, the new document is referred to for the page, and the time If it is registered after the stamp, the page information (page code) is used to sequentially refer to all newly registered documents for the replacement page to the next page of the last page of the registered document before replacement. Get the page order).
