[Embodiment 1]
An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. Prior to explaining each part of the information processing apparatus according to this embodiment, first, "data, set, set type, mapping", which are important concepts in this embodiment, will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of "data, set, set type, mapping" according to this embodiment.

(data, set, set type)
"Data" according to the present embodiment includes, for example, "collection" and "collection type". "First data" and "second data" shown in FIG. 2 are examples of data according to the present embodiment. In addition, in this embodiment, the "first data" and the "second data" are also simply referred to as "data". As will be described below, in this embodiment, the "data" on which mapping has acted can also be the target of mapping again. Therefore, the data called "second data" in this embodiment may be treated as "first data".

The upper part of FIG. 2 shows data and processes related to the process name "application process". More specifically, the upper part of FIG. 2 shows an example including a set “application screen item” and a set type “screen item” of the set as an example of “first data”. Further, as another example of the 'first data', an example including a set 'application data' and a set type 'logical data' of the set is shown.

A set generally contains one or more elements. As an example, the set “application screen item” includes one or more data elements displayed on the application screen or one or more data elements input via the application screen. As another example, the set “application data” includes one or more data elements entered via the application screen.

On the other hand, the set type of a certain set is information indicating the type of the set. In this embodiment, there are multiple types of "sets". Which type the target "set" corresponds to is specified by the "set type" associated with the "set".

As an example, the set type “screen item” included in the “first data” shown in FIG. 2 is information indicating that the set type of the set “application screen item” is “screen item”. As another example, the set type “logical data” is information indicating that the set type of the set “application data” is “logical data”.

In the above description, an example in which "data" includes "set" and "set type" has been described, but this does not limit the present embodiment, and the concept of "set" includes "set type". ” may be included. In this case, the "set" is expressed as including one or more elements and the "set type" of the "set".

(map)
A "mapping" according to the present embodiment is, for example, a mapping whose input is data including a set containing one or more data elements and a set type of the set, and includes one or more data elements A mapping whose output is data containing a set and the set type of the set. Here, in the present embodiment, data on which a certain mapping acts is also called "first data", and data obtained by acting the certain mapping is also called "second data". "Second data" can be treated as "first data" in subsequent mappings of that one mapping.

With the above points in mind, a "mapping" according to this embodiment is a first set of data including a first set containing one or more data elements and a set type of the first set. and the output is a second data set containing a second set containing one or more data elements and the set type of the second set. . .

Also, the "mapping" according to the present embodiment is a concept that includes a "trigger" that includes an activation process, and a "process" that is activated by the activation process included in the "trigger". Here, a trigger may include one or more branch conditions and an activation process associated with each branch condition.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, a "trigger" is defined for the target set containing the element "apply button" and the set type "screen item", and the trigger is schematically shown in FIG. 2 as an example. It is executed by pressing the "trigger button".

Here, the trigger includes the "activation process" for activating the target process, as described above. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the target process is "application process", so by pressing the "trigger button", the "application process" shown in the upper part of FIG. 2 is executed.

In the example shown in FIG. 2, as the "application process", an application process is executed in which the first data is input and the second data is output. Here, the second data includes, for example, a set "application result screen item set" and a set type "screen item" of the set. In addition, the second data includes, as another example, the set "applied data" and the set type "logical data" of the set.

Thus, in this embodiment, as an example, processing on data is systematically treated as mapping, and data is systematically treated as including sets and set types. For this reason, in the information processing according to the present embodiment, a plurality of requirements such as requirements related to the display screen (input screen), requirements related to the function of data processing, and requirements related to the data itself are organized into a system of "set, set type, mapping". expressed from a perspective.

Therefore, even if the number of types of data to be handled, processing, etc. increases, it is easy to grasp the processing of each part and the entire system.

Conventionally, when constructing a data processing system, for example, even if the creator who creates the system can grasp the contents of the system, the ordering party who orders the system cannot grasp the inside of the system. was difficult in most cases. Also, on the creator side, every time the system is updated, it becomes difficult to grasp each part or the whole of the system, or it becomes difficult to grasp each part or the whole of the system due to changes in the creator. There were frequent cases of

As described above, in the present embodiment, as an example, processing related to data is systematically treated as a mapping, and data is systematically treated as including sets and set types. There is an effect that it is easy to grasp the processing of each part and the whole of the system without inviting it.

Therefore, in the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, a plurality of requirements such as requirements related to the display screen (input screen), requirements related to the function of data processing, and requirements related to the data itself are defined as "set, set type, mapping". expressed from a systematic point of view.

Therefore, even if the number of types of data to be handled, processing, etc. increases, it is easy to grasp the processing of each part and the entire system.
(Specific processing example)
Specific processing examples by the information processing apparatus 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. FIG. An example of a UI (User Interface) included in the registration screen displayed by the display unit 50 is shown on the left side of FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the UI is for employee registration. The heading of each item indicated by the UI and the input data input to each item constitute a set of screen constituent elements. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the screen components also include a "registration" button as an example of a trigger button.

When the registration button is pressed, the registration trigger is executed. Since the registration trigger includes activation processing for activating the registration processing, the registration processing is executed as a result. Here, the registration process is, as shown in FIG. 3 as an example, a process of storing values input on the registration screen in a DB (Data Base, storage unit 20).

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the set of screen constituent elements is an example of the first data described above, and the data stored in the DB is an example of the second data described above.

FIG. 4 is a diagram for more specifically explaining each set shown in FIG. As shown on the left side of FIG. 4, the heading of each item displayed by the UI and the input data input to each item constitute a set of screen constituent elements. More specifically, a set (collection name: employee registration screen item) including the data elements represented by the table shown on the lower left side of FIG. 4 is constructed. In addition, a set type "screen item configuration" is associated with the set.

On the other hand, as shown on the lower right side of FIG. 4, the data stored in the DB constitutes a set (collection name: employee information). Also, the set is associated with the set type “logical data”.

FIG. 5 is a diagram for more specifically explaining the registration processing according to this processing example. As shown in FIG. 5, when the "registration" button is pressed, a trigger (trigger name: employee registration button) associated with the "registration" button activates processing "employee registration processing".

Then, by the activated "employee registration process", a plurality of data elements (user input values) included in the set "employee registration screen items" are stored as one record of the set "employee information".

(Specific configuration example of set)
Next, a specific configuration example of a set according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a specific configuration example of a set according to this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 6, the "set" according to the present embodiment is, for example, a group of data in units meaningful to the user and corresponds to a table. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the table includes V components (vertical components), H components (horizontal components), and elements. Note that V components and H components are sometimes expressed as subsets.

A V component is a component that constitutes a set and corresponds to a column. The H component is a component that traverses the V component registered in the set and corresponds to a record (row). An element is an individual element belonging to a V component or an H component, and corresponds to an individual data element.

(reference relationship between sets)
Reference relationships between sets are defined in the sets according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining reference relationships between sets according to this embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the set "employee registration screen items" includes data elements related to each item (V component) of "screen item name", "control type", "caption" and "affiliation screen". .

In the example shown in FIG. 7, the set "employee registration screen items" refers to the set "screen master" and the set "control type master".

More specifically, the elements to be input to the V-component "affiliated screen" are selected from the elements registered in the set "screen master". Elements to be input to the V-component "control type" are selected from elements registered in the set "control type master". Here, the selection process may be automatically performed by the control unit 10 according to a predetermined selection algorithm, or may be performed by the control unit 10 with reference to input from the user.

The selection of elements based on such reference relationships between sets is executed by the mapping section 12 of the control section 10 by referring to reference relationship information that defines the reference relationships, for example. A set that is referred to is also called a referenced set. Also, the referenced set is stored in the storage unit 20 as an example.

In other words, in this embodiment, as an example, the storage unit 20 stores a referenced set referenced by at least one of the first set and the second set. and at least one data element of the second set is selected from data elements contained in the referenced set.

(Concrete configuration example of set and set type)
Next, with reference to FIG. 8, specific configuration examples of sets and set types according to the present embodiment will be described. The processing described below can be performed by the control unit 10 as an example.

As shown in the upper left part of FIG. 8, in this embodiment, the definition of the collection type is performed by defining, as an example, the collection type necessary for expressing the system. Also, the definition of V-components is done by pre-defining the V-components that are required in the desired set.

The definition of the set according to the present embodiment is performed by assigning an arbitrary set name, and determining the set type and belonging V component, as shown in the center of FIG.

Further, detailed definition of a set according to this embodiment is performed by defining set conditions and registering elements. As an example, as shown on the right side of FIG. 8, the set condition "reference" is set between the V component "control type" and the set "control type master", and the set "control type master" It is defined as a referenced set of "control type".

Similarly, as shown on the right side of FIG. 8, the set condition "reference" is set between the V component "belonging screen" and the set "screen master", and the set "screen master" becomes the V component "belonging screen ” is defined as the by-reference set of

(details about processing and triggers)
Next, a detailed description of processing and triggers according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram for detailed explanation of processing and triggers according to the present embodiment.

Here, "processing content" includes "input", "calculation", and "output". "Succeeding process" includes "branch condition", "succeeding process Gr", and "succeeding process name".

A process Gr is, for example, a tag for arbitrarily grouping processes. The process Gr can be defined in advance by the "process Gr definition" process. The process name is, for example, the name of the process, and can be given any name.

Processing contents are defined by inputs, operations, and outputs. An input is, for example, an input for processing content. Multiple inputs can be specified. Calculation is, for example, specific content performed in the process. Operations can be defined in advance in a "processing master" that is a referenced set. The output is, for example, the output of the calculation result performed in the processing content. Multiple outputs can be specified.

Note that it is possible to define a plurality of processing contents in a process specified by a certain process name. In other words, a plurality of illustrated brackets can be defined in one process.

A subsequent process is a process that is executed following the above-described process content, and is defined by, for example, a branch condition, a subsequent process Gr, and a subsequent process name. A branching condition is, for example, a branching condition when subsequent processing differs depending on the processing result. A branch condition can be defined in advance in a "processing result master" which is a referenced set. A subsequent process Gr is, for example, a group of subsequent processes. A succeeding process name is, for example, the name of a process to be started as a succeeding process.

In the subsequent process, multiple sets of branch conditions, subsequent processes Gr, and subsequent process names can be defined. In other words, a plurality of illustrated brackets can be defined in one process.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the "trigger" includes, for example, "processing Gr", "trigger name", "trigger generation type", "trigger generation element", and "process to be started". composed of Here, the "processing to start" includes "branch condition", "subsequent process Gr", and "subsequent process name".

A process Gr is, for example, a tag for arbitrarily grouping processes. The process Gr can be defined in advance by the "process Gr definition" process. The process name is, for example, the name of the process, and can be given any name.

A trigger name is, for example, the name of a trigger. The trigger name can be given arbitrarily. The trigger occurrence type is, for example, a trigger type such as human processing or external call. The trigger generation type can be defined in advance in the "processing trigger type master" which is a referenced set. A trigger generation element is, for example, an element that generates a trigger. For example, it is a certain GUI button (YY button) displayed on a certain screen (XX screen).

A process to be activated (activation process) is defined by a branch condition, a subsequent process Gr, and a subsequent process name. A branch condition is, for example, a branch condition when the start process differs depending on the operation result of the trigger. A subsequent process Gr is, for example, a group of subsequent processes. A succeeding process name is, for example, the name of a process to be started as a succeeding process.

It should be noted that multiple sets of branch conditions, subsequent processes Gr, and subsequent process names can be defined in the process to be activated. In other words, it is possible to define a plurality of the illustrated bundles in one trigger in the processing to be activated.

(Example of a series of processes including triggers and processes)
Next, a series of processing examples including triggers and processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a series of processing examples including triggers and processing according to this embodiment.

As an example, in the trigger, when the branch condition 2 is satisfied, the startup process 2 is executed, thereby executing the process shown in the center of FIG. 10 . As shown in the center of FIG. 10, the processing includes detailed processing 1, detailed processing 2, and one or more branch conditions to subsequent processing (simply expressed as “subsequent processing” in the center of FIG. 10). there is As an example, after executing detailed processing 1 and detailed processing 2, the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 determines whether one or more branch conditions for subsequent processing are satisfied. Then, if any branch condition is satisfied, the subsequent process associated with the branch condition is executed.

As described above, the processing according to the present embodiment includes a branching condition for a subsequent processing executed after the processing, and a startup processing for the subsequent processing associated with the branching condition. This makes it possible to suitably execute a series of processes starting from the trigger according to the branch condition.

(Information processing method)
The information processing method according to this embodiment will be described below. The information processing method according to this embodiment includes:
a obtaining step of obtaining data including a set containing one or more data elements and a set type of the set;
and a mapping step of performing a mapping with said data as input and with data as output including a set containing one or more data elements and a set type of said set.
