(Flow of overall operation of the form creation system)
FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of the overall operation of the form creation system according to the embodiment. The flow of the overall operation of the form creation system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

<Step S11>
The administrator terminal 20 starts a browser for displaying a web page or the like in response to an operation by the administrator.

<Step S12>
The administrator terminal 20 requests a list of registered templates managed by the Web service 11 of the cloud system 10 in response to an operation by the administrator.

<Step S13>
The template acquisition unit 112 of the Web service 11 acquires the template name of the registered template stored in the storage unit 116 in response to the request from the administrator terminal 20.

<Step S14>
The display control unit 111 of the Web service 11 transmits the list of template names acquired by the template acquisition unit 112 to the administrator terminal 20. Then, the administrator terminal 20 displays the received list of template names on the browser.

<Step S15>
The administrator selects a specific template from the list of template names displayed on the browser. The administrator terminal 20 transmits the template name of the template selected by the administrator to the Web service 11.

<Steps S16, S17>
The display control unit 111 acquires a template matching the template name received by the administrator terminal 20 from the storage unit 116 and transmits the template to the administrator terminal 20.

<Step S18>
The administrator terminal 20 displays the template received from the Web service 11 on a template editing screen 1000, which will be described later, and performs an editing process (template editing process) on the template according to an operation by the administrator. Details of the template editing process will be described later with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9.

<Step S19>
If the Web service 11 succeeds in saving the edited template, it sends a message to the administrator terminal 20 indicating success. The administrator terminal 20 displays the message on the browser.

<Step S20>
When the Web service 11 fails to save the edited template, it sends a message to the administrator terminal 20 indicating the failure. The administrator terminal 20 displays the message on the browser.

The entire operation of the form creation system 1 is performed through the flow of steps S11 to S20 described above.

(Flow of template editing process of form creation system)
FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of the flow of template editing processing of the form creation system according to the embodiment. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cooperative service DB. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a template editing screen showing a template before editing. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a template editing screen with one embedding area set in the template. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a template editing screen in a state in which all embedding areas are set in the template and all items are allocated. The flow of template editing processing in the form creation system 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 9. Note that the template editing process shown in FIG. 5 corresponds to the process in step S18 shown in FIG. 4 described above.

<Step S181>
The administrator terminal 20 transmits a template editing request to the Web service 11 of the cloud system 10 in response to the administrator's operation.

<Steps S182, S183>
The item acquisition unit 113 of the Web service 11 requests the cooperation service DB 12 to acquire an item list in response to the editing request from the administrator terminal 20. Here, FIG. 6 shows an example of the data structure of the cooperative service DB 12. The data structure of the cooperative service DB 12 shown in FIG. 6 includes "correction request posting time", "correction request poster", "report image", "status", "location", "location (supplement)", and "management department". , "Report content", "Improvement report posting time", "Improvement report poster", "Countermeasure image", and "Countermeasure content" are associated with each other and managed. In the case of the data configuration of the cooperative service DB 12 shown in FIG. 6, the cooperative service DB 12 transmits a list of each item listed above to the item acquisition unit 113. In this way, the item acquisition unit 113 acquires a list of items in the cooperative service DB 12.

<Step S184>
Then, the display control unit 111 of the Web service 11 transmits image information of the template editing screen shown in FIG. 7 to the administrator terminal 20. Then, the administrator terminal 20 displays the received template editing screen 1000 on the browser, and displays the template acquired in step S17 described above on the template editing screen 1000.

As shown in FIG. 7, the template editing screen 1000 includes a template 1100, rectangles 1101, 1106-1109, items 1112-1116, 1118, and an item list 1200.

The template 1100 is the template acquired and displayed in step S17 described above. Rectangles 1101, 1106 to 1109 are rectangular areas added to the template 1100 in advance. Items 1112 to 1116 and 1118 are items added to the template 1100 in advance as character strings. The item list 1200 is a list display area that displays the items acquired by the item acquisition unit 113 in a pull-down manner.

<Step S185>
The administrator terminal 20 requests the Web service 11 to set a data embedding area in response to an operation by the administrator. In this case, the administrator performs, for example, an operation for automatically setting the embedding area in the template 1100. Note that the request for setting the embedding area by the administrator terminal 20 may be automatically made, for example, when the template editing screen 1000 is displayed, without requiring any operation by the administrator.

<Step S186>
Then, the extraction unit 115 of the Web service 11 recognizes and extracts the rectangular area in the template 1100 using OCR. In the example of the template editing screen 1000 shown in FIG. 7, the extraction unit 115 recognizes and extracts five rectangular areas, rectangles 1101 and 1106 to 1109. Further, the setting unit 114 of the Web service 11 automatically sets an embedding area for embedding the data of the cooperative service DB 12 in accordance with the rectangular area extracted by the extracting unit 115. In this case, the setting unit 114 may, for example, automatically set an interrupt area of the same size as the extracted rectangular area. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the setting unit 114 automatically sets an embedding area 1121 for the rectangle 1101 extracted by the extraction unit 115. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting unit 114 automatically sets embedding areas 1126 to 1129 for each of the rectangles 1106 to 1109 extracted by the extraction unit 115. This saves the administrator the trouble of manually setting the embedding area by using a drag operation or the like. However, since a rectangle may not be added to the template in advance, it is possible to manually set the embedding area as in steps S188 and S189, which will be described later.

Note that for the extraction of a rectangular area by the extraction unit 115 and the automatic setting of an embedded area in the rectangular area by the setting unit 114, for example, the administrator performs a click operation within the rectangular area, and the extraction is performed using the operation point as a base point. The rectangular area may be extracted by the unit 115, and the embedding area may be automatically set in the rectangular area by the setting unit 114.

<Step S187>
The display control unit 111 of the Web service 11 reflects and displays the embedding area automatically set by the setting unit 114 on the template editing screen 1000 displayed on the administrator terminal 20.

<Step S188>
Further, on the template editing screen 1000, the administrator manually sets embedding areas that need to be set in addition to the embedding areas automatically set by the setting unit 114. In this case, for example, the administrator sets the embedding area by using a drag operation or the like. Then, the setting unit 114 sets the embedding area according to the setting operation by the administrator. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting unit 114 sets embedding areas 1122 to 1125 in accordance with the setting operation by the administrator.

<Step S189>
The display control unit 111 of the Web service 11 causes the embedding area set by the setting unit 114 to be reflected on the template editing screen 1000 displayed on the administrator terminal 20 and displayed.

The processes of steps S188 and S189 described above are repeated as many times as there are embedding areas that need to be set.

<Step S190>
The administrator terminal 20 requests the Web service 11 to automatically allocate items to the embedding areas set by the setting unit 114 in response to the administrator's operation. In this case, the administrator performs, for example, an operation for automatic allocation in the template 1100. Note that the request for automatic allocation by the administrator terminal 20 may be made automatically, for example, after the processing in step S186, without requiring any operation by the administrator.

<Step S191>
Then, the extraction unit 115 recognizes and extracts the character string of the item added (described) in advance to the template 1100 using OCR. In the example of the template editing screen 1000 shown in FIG. 7, the extraction unit 115 recognizes and extracts the character strings of six items 1112 to 1116 and 1118.

<Step S192>
Then, the setting unit 114 identifies items that match or are similar to the items extracted by the extraction unit 115 from the items in the cooperative service DB 12 acquired by the item acquisition unit 113. That is, the setting unit 114 associates the items in the cooperative service DB 12 with the extracted items. Here, the similarity of items may be determined by, for example, partial matching. Then, the setting unit 114 automatically allocates the specified item to the corresponding embedding area.

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the setting unit 114 selects “classification”, “location”, and “location” as items that match or are similar to items 1112 to 1116 and 1118 extracted by the extraction unit 115 from the items in the cooperative service DB 12. ”, “location (supplement)”, “management department”, “report content”, and “countermeasure content”. Then, the setting unit 114 automatically allocates, for example, the specified item "category" to the corresponding embedding area 1122. Similarly, the setting unit 114 automatically inserts the identified items "location", "location (supplementary)", "management department", "report content", and "countermeasure content" into the corresponding embedding areas 1123 to 1126 and 1128. Allocate by.

This saves the administrator the trouble of finding an appropriate item from the items in the cooperative service DB 12 and manually allocating it to the set embedding area. However, since character strings of items may not be added to the template in advance, it is possible to manually allocate items to the embedding areas as in steps S194 to S198, which will be described later.

<Step S193>
The display control unit 111 of the Web service 11 reflects and displays the items automatically allocated by the setting unit 114 on the template editing screen 1000 displayed on the administrator terminal 20.

<Step S194>
Further, on the template editing screen 1000, the administrator selects any of the embedded areas to which no items have been automatically allocated by the setting unit 114, and causes the item list 1200 to be displayed in a pull-down manner. Note that when a specific embedding area is selected, it may be automatically pulled down from the item list 1200.

<Step S195>
Then, the display control unit 111 causes the list of items of the cooperative service DB 12 acquired by the item acquisition unit 113 to be displayed in the pull-down display area of the item list 1200.

<Step S196>
Then, the administrator selects an item to be allocated to the embedding area selected in step S194 from the list of items displayed in a pull-down manner from the item list 1200.

<Step S197>
Then, the setting unit 114 allocates the item selected by the administrator to the embedding area selected in step S194 (manual allocation).

For example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the administrator puts the embedded area 1121 in the selected state and selects "Status" from the list of items displayed in a pull-down manner in the item list 1200, the setting unit 114 selects the The item "state" is allocated to the corresponding embedding area 1121. Similarly, the setting unit 114 allocates the selected items "report image" and "corresponding image" to the corresponding embedding areas 1127 and 1129, respectively.

In this way, it is possible to allocate an item to an embedding area simply by selecting it from the list of items acquired by the item acquisition unit 113, so that the administrator can allocate the item in the linked service DB 12 to the embedding area that has been set. This saves you the trouble of finding the appropriate item from the list and manually inputting the item.

<Step S198>
The display control unit 111 causes the items allocated by the setting unit 114 to be reflected and displayed on the template editing screen 1000 displayed on the administrator terminal 20.

The processes of steps S194 to S198 described above are repeated as many times as the number of embedding areas to which items need to be allocated.

<Step S199>
The administrator terminal 20 requests the Web service 11 to save the template edited as described above in response to the save operation by the administrator.

<Step S200>
Then, the display control unit 111 stores the template 1100 edited as described above in the storage unit 116.

Template editing processing in the form creation system 1 is performed through the flow of steps S181 to S200 described above.

As described above, in the form creation system 1 according to the present embodiment, the item acquisition unit 113 acquires each data item from the cooperation service DB 12 that manages multiple types of data to be embedded in the form, and the setting unit 114 The display control unit 111 displays each item acquired by the item acquisition unit 113 as a list on the administrator terminal 20, and the setting unit 114 sets an embedding area for embedding data in the template. Among these, the item selected from the list on the administrator terminal 20 is allocated to the embedding area selected on the administrator terminal 20. This makes it possible to allocate items to the embedded area simply by selecting them from the list of items acquired by the item acquisition unit 113, which reduces the effort involved in allocating items to each area of the form template. can.

Further, in the form creation system 1 according to the present embodiment, the extraction unit 115 recognizes and extracts the items added to the template using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and the setting unit 114 uses the item acquisition unit 113 to recognize and extract the items added to the template. From each acquired item, an item that matches or is similar to the item extracted by the extraction unit 115 is identified, and the identified item is allocated to the corresponding embedding area. This saves the administrator the trouble of finding an appropriate item from the items in the cooperative service DB 12 and manually allocating it to the set embedding area.

Further, in the form creation system 1 according to the present embodiment, the extraction unit 115 recognizes and extracts an area (rectangular area, etc.) surrounded by lines in the template using OCR (Optical Character Recognition), and the setting unit 114 , the embedding area is set according to the area extracted by the extraction unit 115. This saves the administrator the trouble of manually setting the embedding area by using a drag operation or the like.
