DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of creating software by a business person, without having to be conscious of the description of a programming language (such as Kobol or Fortran) in accordance with a flow chart conventionally used. The present invention relates to a data processing device for understanding the meaning of data input when data is input. After understanding the meaning of input data, the present invention relates to a business support data processing apparatus capable of automatically selecting and applying software for processing input data according to the meaning.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when software is created, a routine for applying the software is designed by a flowchart, a program language is described along the flowchart, and then the program language is coded into a machine language. ing.

However, according to this method, when it is desired to change the setting conditions, date, and the like in software data processing, the program language must be totally reviewed and corrected each time. For this reason, program design changes take days and require specialist work.

[0004]

As described above, when the processing contents and conditions of the conventional program are changed, even a simple change is expensive, takes many days, and requires the work of a specialist. It is.

Therefore, the present invention provides a software for data processing by understanding the meaning of this data input by simply inputting data without being aware of the description of a programming language (such as Kobol, Fortran). It is an object of the present invention to provide a business support data processing device that can be automatically applied and constructed.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides:
A rule setting business worksheet including a plurality of rule setting business logic terms representing a business meaning in a minimum unit, wherein the rule setting data for inputting an application date as the business logic term A business logic worksheet for setting rules where there is an input location , and a rule application data
A worksheet file section storing various types of business worksheets for application data input including a plurality of the business logic terms for inputting data, and any of the business worksheets for setting any rule according to user selection information. displayed on a display by selecting the business worksheet, the business the rule setting data input fields together with the shown to correspond to the rule entry term of the worksheet, the user arbitrarily applied life rules business
A rule setting means for inputting or changing an application date for determining the rule application period in the rule setting data input location so that a time interval can be set; and data input in the rule setting data input location. Sometimes, on the display, a business data file part storing the data as rule setting data, and, among the business worksheets, a business worksheet for inputting any of the applied data according to the user selection information, First use means indicating that an application data entry location of an application date of the application data entry business worksheet corresponds to the application data item term; and a first use means of the application data entry business worksheet. When the corresponding application data is input, this application data and the corresponding rule setting data are entered. In contrast bets, the application data to determine whether to satisfy in the application period which is set by the rule setting, is not satisfied within the applicable period is a warning signal
And second use means for outputting. According to the above means, at the time of setting a rule, rule setting data (application date) may be input to a data input location associated with a business logic term on a business worksheet.
Then, based on the meaning of the business logic term, the rule setting data is associated with software for performing processing according to the meaning of the rule setting data. Therefore, it is more appropriate to input the rule setting data for performing the task, rather than to design the program.

Thereafter, when an application date is input as application data corresponding to the rule setting data at the time of use, the previously input application date is automatically determined as a rule for business.
And respond securely to business transactions, etc.
The process will be executed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. 1
Reference numeral 00 denotes a computer main body, which is composed of hardware and an operation system (OS). Also, 5
Reference numeral 00 denotes a display unit, and reference numeral 1000 denotes a new working device according to the present invention. This portion is constituted by a recording medium and a drive unit for the recording medium to be described later, or is constituted by an IC-based logic block.

FIG. 2 shows a specific embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 100 denotes a computer main body, which is composed of hardware and an operation system (OS).
Further, a business logic application unit 200 is mounted on the computer main body 100. The business logic application unit 200 includes a business operation system (business OS) 201 and a rule matching inspection unit 202.

This business operation system (business OS) is predetermined software, for example, for existence ticks, upper limit check, lower limit check,
It is composed of common software for cumulative processing.

The business rule conformance inspection unit 202 determines which software to use when using the software of the business operation system based on the business logic term of the business worksheet when performing the data processing described below. It is a judging unit for judging.

The business worksheet, business logic terms, and rule setting data are stored in a business data file 400. The business data file 400 includes a ledger for setting rules required by the business,
Vouchers, plans, vouchers, forms used in the distribution business,
Various worksheets such as an order slip and a settlement slip are stored as data. This worksheet includes at least one of the above business logic terms that represents the business meaning in the smallest unit. There is a data input location corresponding to this business logic term. When a plan or a worksheet for setting a rule is used at the time of designing a program (when setting a rule) and data is input at a data input location, the input data becomes rule setting data. If the computer is used for business after the rule setting data is entered, if the data is entered in the data entry area of a worksheet such as a rule confirmation or a quote, this data is Becomes

Reference numeral 500 denotes a display for displaying a worksheet, confirming data input, and confirming a program processing result when a program is constructed or when the program is used after the program is generated. Used for When constructing a program and using the program, the comprehensive management unit 600 operates in response to an operation from the operation unit to access and start data to and from peripheral blocks, and to control the timing of data input / output. Will be in control.

The display control unit 300 responding to an operation input via the general management unit 600 determines which of the worksheet types is to be displayed, and is read from the business data file 400. The read worksheet and its associated data are also read. The read data and worksheet are displayed on the display 500 through the comprehensive management unit 600.

In the worksheet, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a business logic term is described, and data is described in a blank portion (data input portion) corresponding to the business term. . This example
This is a worksheet for setting a credit limit for a customer. The title "description of credit limit of business partner" is set as the title. To read the worksheet of this title, an operation of starting program construction (or business rule setting) is performed from the operation unit 501. For example, if a menu is requested, the title menu appears. The worksheet can be displayed on the display by referring to the title menu and clicking the same title “description of credit limit of business partner”. The general management unit 600 starts up the system and responds to an input from the operation unit 501.

The business logic application unit 200 associates the software for performing the data processing with the worksheet because the data processing content is determined according to the item of “description of the credit limit of the business partner”. Have data.

In the display state as shown in FIG. 3A, a supplier number, a company name, and the like are input, and there are columns for application start date, application end date, credit amount, and application suspension. Is done. In this example, the application start date 97
/ 06/06 and the credit amount of 200,000,000 are described, and the columns of application end date and application suspension are not described. If not described, it means that data processing for this business logic item is not automatically performed.

Further, a worksheet for creating an item list of merchandise sold by a business partner is also stored. This makes it possible to construct various data of business partners (these data will be referred to as business rule setting data).

When the necessary rule setting data is described in the necessary worksheet, the display of the end of the screen is clicked. Then, each worksheet is stored in the business data file 400. As described above, by inputting data, the data processing necessary for business is predetermined according to the type (meaning content) of the rule setting data, and a program to be applied to each data is determined. Will be.

For example, with respect to the above-mentioned credit amount, when application data is inputted in order to check a business partner in actual use, it must be determined whether or not the application data is appropriate. No. Therefore, the application data is compared with the credit amount (business setting data)
An upper limit check process is performed to determine whether the applied data exceeds the value of the business rule setting data.

That is, in the present invention, the configuration of the device is considered by completely separating business application software into business logic and program logic (computer logic) according to a certain standard. Here, the certain criteria are business worksheets (business papers) and the items expressed in these,
The slips and materials are extracted and separated as computer screens and computer forms.

Further, the business transaction know-how data group (the element of a meaningful minimum unit for determining the contents of the business transaction contract) and the core business data group (the meaningful minimum such as the in-house rules for fulfilling the contract) are included. The elements are classified into items such as a unit element) and an accounting data group (a meaningful minimum unit such as accounting rules based on the Commercial Code, the Tax Law, and the Securities Act), and are associated with application software to be processed. That is, upper limit, lower limit check, existence check, and cumulative processing.

As a result of the separation and arrangement as described above, only a mechanism for processing these items remains as program logic as application software, and this is a business OS. If the meaning of the above-mentioned business items is known, only the data remains. These are business data.

As a result, the software (business OS) stored in the business logic application means includes application data (data input when the present invention device is used in an actual commercial transaction or the like) and corresponding data. This software group performs upper limit check processing, lower limit check processing, existence check processing, and cumulative processing using business rule setting data (previously stored as a database).

Returning to FIG. FIG. 3 described above
Database using the worksheet as (A) (Le
Configuration) . In this example, an example in which a credit amount is set for a certain trading company has been described. In addition, data such as a list database of business partners, a database of sales products of the business partners, a unit price of each sales product, and quantity information can be constructed.

FIG. 3B shows an example of an application screen when an order is received from the business partner ABCDE. In this case, the applied worksheet is read out as a worksheet, and the obtained information is input to a necessary place as shown in the figure. That is, there are a supplier code, a supplier name, a product code, a unit price, a quantity, an order amount, and the like. By inputting such data, a start command is issued. The worksheet of the application screen is switched to the application mode in the operation unit 501 and a menu of the application screen is requested, so that the display control unit 300 displays the title of the application worksheet. If there is a desired title, in this case, "Order", click on the title.

By this operation, the application screen shown in FIG. 3B can be obtained on the display 500. Thereafter, the user will input data. Here, when the inquiry start is operated, it is determined whether or not the order amount exceeds the credit amount (upper limit check processing). At this time, the business logic application unit 200
By recognizing the item of the order amount, software for the upper limit check processing is automatically selected and executed. As a result of this processing, the obtained data is "in the credit limit" or "exceeds the credit limit" via the display control unit 300 and the comprehensive management unit 600.
Thus, it is displayed on the display 500.

FIG. 4 shows a worksheet, business logic terms described in each worksheet, and the business logic terms (date, supplier No., product code,
Note amount of money, ...) data on the worksheet that there is a "00
000 "," 0000 "," 00000 "," 101 "
00 ”and the like and an application software. By having this table, the worksheet currently being accessed on the display 500 is recognized,
And, if there is data input corresponding to each business logic term, recognizing the data corresponding to the business logic term will determine the application software.
The data resulting from the application of the software will be returned as a screen on the display again. The table in FIG. 4 may be described in any block of the business logic application unit 200 or the business data file 400.

Referring to FIG . 4 further, "0000"
The numbers “0”, “0000” and “10100”

In the example of FIG. 4, on the worksheet,
"Date", "Customer No." and "Order Amount" are entered.
The software to apply
, Existence check, existence check, existence check, upper limit
Indicates that it is check software. The above embodiment has shown the basic principle of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment,
The business logic terminology is only a representation. All items such as various slips, forms, and approval slips correspond to the business logic term of the present invention, and serve as a judgment material of software selected by the business logic application unit.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram specifically showing the present invention.

Parts corresponding to the blocks shown in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals as in FIG. In FIG. 2, the data of the business data file 400 is classified and shown by a worksheet and data given to the items described in the worksheet.

In FIG. 5, the data is further classified according to the nature of the data. The nature of data includes simple data that is frequently rewritten and semi-fixed data. In this figure, simple data is collected in the business data recording unit,
Semi-fixed data is collected in the control data recording unit.

The data in the business data recording unit is
They are classified by type, and are classified into a commercial transaction recording unit, a business operation recording unit, and a recording unit for rules such as various rules.

When these data are rewritten, the result is recorded (history).

As a record of the commercial transaction, a record of when, with which company, and what kind of transaction was made remains. As the records of business operations, data on the progress of business performance, records of accounting history data, and history data on personnel management are recorded. Records of business rules include data for various regulations, for example, after changes in work rules,
The data before the change and the data before and after the change of the credit limit of the business partner company are stored. Also, information on the change in the purchase quantity of the products handled by the business partner company is recorded. In addition, for example, it is used as a value recording unit in the case where a sales person discounts and sells a special sale product.

The data in the control data recording unit is also classified by type, and is classified into a recording unit for rule application rules, a recording unit such as a screen layout, and a recording unit such as a form layout. In the rule application unit, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 4, a table indicating the correspondence between the logic terms of the worksheet and the software related to the logic terms is described.

In the above description, in order to make the functions easy to understand, the comprehensive management unit 600 and the business logic application unit 2
Although the display control unit 300 is shown as a separate block, it is needless to say that these may be integrated.

In the above system, the worksheet
As a business logic term for setting a business rule, there is a rule setting data input portion for inputting an application date. As the application date, there are an application start date and an application end date, and there are respective data input locations. In order to input the application date, the rule setting means is accompanied by means for requesting the input of the encryption key.

Due to the existence of such a function, when it is desired to suspend a transaction with a plurality of companies that have been matched by a business partner, or to stop importing some products from the business partner company. In such a case, the rule setting data can be changed by operating the operation unit 501 immediately. Therefore, the operation speed in business can be increased, and the reliability is high. Further, even when the rate of foreign currency changes, it is possible to respond immediately by changing the rule setting data.

Further, in this system, since there is business rule data in which past rules are recorded ,
You can also refer to the rules. FIG. 6 et seq. Shows a specific business table provided in the business logic application unit 200. Each business process, business contents, a screen to be used, a ledger for recording data, and a ledger Related tables such as types are easy to understand. 6 to 17 show business processing standards, in order from the left column of the figure, computer business processing (business processing minimum unit standard / computer business processing standard), rule setting business, commercial distribution business, distribution business, There are columns for invoices (standards for drafting / screen design) that record flow operations, manufacturing operations, and core operations, ledgers and ledgers that record core operations, commercial code standards, accounting standards, tax standards, and certification standards. . Here, a circle means a flag.

For example, in FIG. Looking at 17, it means the following. Here, the contents of processing when opening a trading account of a sales destination are described. Performing this processing means setting rules. This rule
To perform the setting process, the user clicks on the item of opening a trading account of the sales destination from the menu. Then, in order to open an account, a sales transaction account opening slip is displayed on the screen. The data entered and described on this slip while looking at the screen is described in the sales partner ledger (file) as sales partner data. When such data is added, commercial code standards, accounting standards, tax standards,
Certification standards will apply. In FIG. Looking at 79, the following meaning is described. This is a shipping instruction for a sale product, which is a kind of commercial distribution business. To issue an instruction, a shipping instruction for a product for sale is read out on the screen, and when there is data input (permission, quantity, etc.) by the operator, this data is described in the shipping instruction ledger. Since the inventory and the like can be calculated using this data, the software to be used can be determined in advance. For example, in FIG. It can be used when performing the processing of 111.

FIGS. 6 to 17 show the business OS of the present invention.
2 shows a related table such as a slip or a ledger in the case of designing. In order to open a trading account of a sales partner, a slip for opening a sales trading account is displayed on the screen, and an account number, a company name of the trading partner, a code, and the like are input. The commercial code standard means that when this account is opened, the commercial code standard will be applied if there is access to the opened account in subsequent data processing. Also, accounting standards are
In the subsequent data processing, if a debit or deposit is made at the opened account, a routine for performing an accounting process works. In addition, tax standards will be used in subsequent data processing,
This means that when the account is opened or debited, a processing routine for withholding tax, etc., operates. Also, the criterion is that existing processing routines on securities transactions work.

By constructing the business processing standard table in this way, a database relating to each business can be constructed. Moreover, when handling such data, software to be used can be automatically determined.

FIGS. 18 to 21 show, in a table form, the contents (rules) of the operation of the apparatus of the present invention when an order receiving operation and an ordering operation are performed. 18 and FIG.
FIG. 20 and FIG. 21 show one table. This table shows, in order from the left column, business processing rules, logic of business processing rules, application items of business processing rules, and inspection items. For example, N in FIG.
o. When the user confirms the purchase item (1) from the menu, this is to check whether the purchase item can be purchased. A screen for inputting the name and code of the purchased product appears on the screen. When appropriate data is input while looking at this screen, inspection is started based on the judgment of the business logic application unit 200. As the inspection, the inspection of the existence of the business partner and the business partner organization is automatically executed while looking at the database.
From the menu, select No. If the user confirms the inventory suitability number of the purchased merchandise and determines whether the inventory quantity is appropriate or not, the inspection of the appropriate quantity of the inventory of the purchased merchandise is performed. At this time, the number of orders is entered in an item called “order of purchased merchandise” of the item appearing on the screen. Then, the stock limit is automatically checked. This is an upper limit check of whether the stock exceeds the number of orders. Before that, the existence of the product is checked.

That is, the above description can be rephrased as follows.
Swell. The column of the business processing rule in FIG. 1 to No. As shown at 31, the business terms required for receiving an order are classified. When you place an order, you need to confirm the sales partner, and sometimes you need to confirm whether or not the business day of the sales partner is appropriate. May be necessary.

The logic column of the business processing rule indicates what is processed as reference data (business logic term (index)) when performing the various types of confirmation described above.

To perform “confirm sales partners”,
Checking whether there is data of “seller's partner's trading account has been established” (supplier inspection in the column of application items of existence inspection in FIG. 19) makes it clear whether it exists. .

As described above, FIGS. 18 to 21 also show design standards that are used by classifying basic business terms when ordering and placing an order in business using the system of the present invention.

The specifics of what the logic of the business processing rule is used are as follows. N in FIG.
o. In 17, there is a setting of "Opening a trading account of a sales partner", and here, when necessary information is entered in the opening slip, a "sales partner ledger" is constructed as seen at the left of this column. It is supposed to be.

Therefore, in this example, when performing the existence check of “the sales account of the sales partner has been established”, the existence check is performed from the “seller partner ledger”. Thus, for example, as described with reference to FIG. 3A, a database of rules (or standards) is constructed,
Thereafter, when the application data enters a use state, the application data is processed while looking at the database set in this standard.

The construction of the above-mentioned database is performed by using N in FIG.
o. As shown in FIG. 18, the setting of “suspension of account of sales partner” is also included. When the stop setting is made, this is recorded in the sales partner ledger, so that even if there is an order, the ledger will not be checked if the ledger is inspected.

FIGS. 22 and 23 show tables of business rules applied when confirming the presence of a person in charge when placing an order. 22 and FIG.
Are building one table.

In the above-described table, a part of the table has been described as a representative, but other items are similarly used.

Next, the operation of the user when the apparatus of the present invention is introduced will be briefly described.

The new working device is constructed by, for example, a data control type business application recorded on a recording medium. Therefore, this application is installed on the computer using the setup program.

FIG. 24 shows an operation in a preparation stage for using the apparatus of the present invention in business. Overall management of the units is performed by the general management unit 600, and the operation order of each unit, data search, data output, and the like are controlled.

In the preparation stage, processing is performed on items in the tables shown in FIG. First, for example, when an operation is performed through the operation unit and the operation is used on the business operation side, a business operation screen (worksheet) for preparing a data file is displayed on the display from the operation preparation menu (steps a1 and a2). Next, while looking at the screen, the business setting data is input into the blank portion of the appropriate item (step a3), and a business data file is constructed. When a business rule is set, it is realized by a similar processing routine.

FIG. 25 shows an operation example when the database (control data) constructed as described above is used. When the job menu is displayed and an object item is selected from the menu (step b1), the screen is switched to a job processing screen (step b2) corresponding to the item.
Here, the user inputs necessary usage data while viewing the business processing screen (b3). Then, the business logic application unit 200 intelligently determines necessary software according to the type of the used data and based on the tables shown in FIGS. 6 to 23, and displays the processing result ( Step b4). Looking at the result, the user decides to start over or to understand (step b5).

FIG. 26 shows a processing procedure used when it becomes necessary to change the business rule. When the business rule change key is operated, a password key input request is made (c1, c2). This is because it is set so that anyone does not change the business rules without permission.
Once you have entered your password, as before,
A preparation menu is displayed, from which the user selects an item whose rule is to be changed (step c).
3). Then, when the business rule setting screen appears, the condition data is input to the necessary portions (step c5).

Next, some examples of use will be described.
