In the “text” item 114e, the received ToDo text is registered as it is.

In the item 114f of “additional information 1”, when a delivery date is specified in the received ToDo, the delivery date is registered.
In the item 114g of “additional information 2”, when a response method is specified in the received ToDo, the response method is registered.

In the item 114h of “additional information 3”, when the received ToDo has some attached file, the attached file is registered.
The processes performed by the communication information integrated management server 100 configured as described above are roughly classified into an e-mail / ToDo transmission process, an e-mail reception process, a ToDo reception process, a transmission content reference request process, and a reception content reference request process. It is. Hereinafter, these processes will be described in order.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the e-mail / ToDo transmission processing. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 10 will be described in order of step number.
[Step S11] The client transmits the input information created by the user using a predetermined application to the communication information integration management server 100.

  [Step S12] The input information receiving unit 120 receives the input information transmitted by the client in step S11 and passes it to the input information distribution unit 130. Then, the process proceeds to step S13.

  [Step S13] The input information distribution unit 130 selects a recipient of the input information passed in step S12. When there are a plurality of recipients, one recipient is selected from them.

[Step S14] The input information distribution unit 130 refers to the recipient selected in Step S13, and determines whether or not “@” is included in the recipient.
If “@” is included, it is determined that the recipient is designated by the e-mail address, and the input information passed in step S13 is passed to the communication information processing means 140 as mail information. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S15.

  If “@” is not included, it is determined that the recipient is designated by the system ID, and the input information passed in step S13 is passed to the communication information processing means 140 as ToDo information. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S18.

  [Step S15] The communication information processing means 140 refers to the mail account management table 112 and acquires an e-mail account corresponding to the account number of the mail information passed in step S14. Then, the process proceeds to step S16.

  [Step S16] The communication information processing means 140 creates an e-mail using the e-mail account acquired in step S15. Specifically, the e-mail account acquired in step S15 is set in the “from” column of the e-mail, and the recipient selected in step S13 is set in the “to” column. The recipient set here includes “@”. Furthermore, the title and body of the email information are used as they are for the title and body of the electronic mail.

  When the system ID and the e-mail address are specified in combination with the recipient of the mail information, the communication information processing means 140 adds “(A) to (B) by a predetermined location of the created e-mail. Please insert the answer "automatically. In this sentence (A), the delivery date specified by the mail information is inserted, and in the same sentence (B), the answer method specified by the mail information is inserted. By inserting such a sentence, it is possible to match the content with the ToDo information registered in the information management table 113 when the system ID is selected on the other side.

  Finally, the communication information processing unit 140 refers to the mail account management table 112 and acquires a signature corresponding to the account number used in step S15. Then, the signature is inserted at the end of the body of the created electronic mail. Then, the process proceeds to step S17.

  [Step S17] The communication information processing means 140 refers to the mail account management table 112 and obtains a transmission mail server corresponding to the account number used in step S15. Then, the electronic mail created in step S16 is transmitted to the transmission mail server, and then the process proceeds to step S20.

  [Step S18] The communication information processing means 140 refers to the ToDo account management table 111, and acquires a user name corresponding to the recipient (system ID) selected in Step S13. Then, the process proceeds to step S19.

  [Step S19] The communication information processing means 140 registers the ToDo information passed in Step S14 in the information management table 113 as received information. At this time, the receiver selected in step S13 is registered in the item 113j of “receiver”. If the delivery date is specified in the ToDo information, the delivery date is registered in the item 113m of “additional information 1”, and if the answer method is specified in the ToDo information, the answer method number is “added”. It is registered in the item 113n of “Information 2”.

  Along with the registration of ToDo information, the recipient selected in step S13 is registered in the item 113a of “system ID”. Furthermore, the “ToDo flag” item 113c, the “reception flag” item 113e, and the “new arrival flag” item 113p are each set to “1”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S20.

  [Step S20] The communication information processing means 140 checks whether all recipients of the input information received in step S12 have been processed. If the process is performed for all recipients, the process proceeds to step S21. If not processed for all recipients, the process proceeds to step S13.

  [Step S21] The transmission content registration unit 150 acquires the input information that is the target of distribution in step S12 from the input information distribution unit 130. Then, as the transmitted information, the acquired input information and the system ID designated as the sender are associated with each other and registered in the information management table 113 as follows.

  When only the receiver including “@” is designated as the receiver of the input information to be registered, the sender is registered in the “system ID” item 113a together with the registration of the input information. Further, the “mail flag” item 113b and the “transmission flag” item 113d are respectively set to “1”, and the account number is registered in the “account number” item 113f.

  When only the receiver that does not include “@” is designated as the receiver of the input information to be registered, the sender is registered in the “system ID” item 113a together with the registration of the input information. Further, the “ToDo flag” item 113 c and the “transmission flag” item 113 d are respectively set to “1”. When the delivery date is specified in the input information, the delivery date is registered in the “additional information 1” item 113m, and when the answer method is specified, the answer method number is set in the “additional information 2” item. 113n.

  When a recipient including “@” and a recipient not including “@” are designated as recipients of the input information to be registered, the input information is registered, and the sender is designated as an item 113a of “system ID”. Register with. Further, the “mail flag” item 113b, the “ToDo flag” item 113c, and the “transmission flag” item 113d are respectively set to “1”, and the account number is registered in the “account number” item 113f. When the delivery date is specified in the input information, the delivery date is registered in the “additional information 1” item 113m, and when the answer method is specified, the answer method number is set in the “additional information 2” item. 113n.

After the registration, the process proceeds to step S22.
[Step S22] The communication information integration management server 100 transmits completion information notifying the client that has transmitted the input information that the processing has been completed.

[Step S23] The client receives the completion information transmitted by the communication information integration management server 100 in step S22.
The above is the processing procedure of the e-mail / ToDo transmission process.

  In the present embodiment, input information 51, 52, 53 is transmitted from the client 210 to the communication information integrated management server 100. Here, the contents registered in the information management table 113 as a result of the e-mail / ToDo transmission process performed on the input information 51, 52, 53 will be described.

  An e-mail address “a@a.com” is designated as the recipient of the input information 51. Here, in the input information 51, “1” is designated as the account number, and the transmission date of the input information 51 is “2003/10/27”.

  The input information 51 distributed by the input information distribution unit 130 is passed to the communication information processing unit 140 as mail information. In the mail information, “1” is designated as the account number.

  Therefore, an e-mail is created in which the e-mail account “mail1” is set in the “from” column and the e-mail address “a@a.com” is set in the “to” column. In this electronic mail, the title and body of the mail information are described, and finally the signature “/ * A company B headquarters...” Corresponding to the account number “1” is inserted. Since the domain name of the transmission mail server corresponding to the account number “1” is “s1.com”, the created electronic mail is transmitted to the transmission mail server 310 having this domain name.

  Thereafter, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, the input information 51 is registered in the first record of the information management table 113 in association with the sender (system ID “U0001”). The account number “1” is registered in the “account number” item 113f.

  A system ID “U0002” is designated to the recipient of the input information 52. Here, in the input information 52, “2003/11/7” is designated as the delivery date, “2” is designated as the answer method, and the transmission date of the input information 52 is “2003/10/29”.

The input information 52 distributed by the input information distribution unit 130 is passed to the communication information processing unit 140 as ToDo information.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the ToDo information is registered as received information in the sixth record of the information management table 113 in association with the receiver (system ID “U0002”). “1” is set in the item 113p of “new arrival flag”.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the input information 52 is registered in the third record of the information management table 113 in association with the sender (system ID “U0001”).
A system ID “U0002” and an e-mail address “a@a.com” are designated to the recipient of the input information 53. Here, in the input information 53, it is assumed that “2003/11/8” is specified as the delivery date, “2” is specified as the answer method, and “2” is specified as the account number, and the transmission date of the input information 53 is “2003/10”. / 28 ".

  When the input information distribution unit 130 selects the system ID “U0002” as the receiver, the input information 53 is passed to the communication information processing unit 140 as ToDo information. When the input information distribution unit 130 selects the e-mail address “a@a.com” as the recipient, the input information 53 is passed to the communication information processing unit 140 as mail information.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the ToDo information is registered as the received information in the seventh record of the information management table 113 in association with the selected recipient (system ID “U0002”). Is done. “1” is set in the item 113p of “new arrival flag”.

  For mail information, an e-mail account “mail2” is set in the “from” field, and the selected recipient (e-mail address “a@a.com”) is set in the “to” field. An email is created. In this electronic mail, the title and text of the mail information are described.

  Here, since the system ID “U0002” is specified in addition to the email address “a@a.com” as the recipient of the mail information, the delivery date “2003/11/8” specified in the mail information and the reply Based on the method “2”, a sentence “Please reply with Yes / No by 2003/11/8” is inserted into a predetermined location of the created e-mail. Finally, the signature “/ * A company...” Corresponding to the account number “2” is inserted. Since the domain name of the transmission mail server corresponding to the account number “2” is “s2.com”, the created electronic mail is transmitted to the transmission mail server 320 having this domain name.

Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the input information 53 is stored in 2 of the information management table 113.
The second record is registered in association with the sender (system ID “U0001”). “1” is set in both the “mail flag” item 113b and the “ToDo flag” item 113c. Also, the system ID “U0002” and the e-mail address “a@a.com” are registered in the item “recipient” 113j.

Next, the processing procedure of the e-mail reception process will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the e-mail receiving process. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 11 will be described in order of step number.

  [Step S31] The e-mail reception processing unit 160 refers to the e-mail account management table 112 and acquires all e-mail accounts corresponding to the system ID of the user who receives the e-mail. Then, the process proceeds to step S32.

  [Step S32] The e-mail reception processing means 160 selects one e-mail account from the e-mail accounts acquired in step S31, and advances the process to step S33.

  [Step S33] The e-mail reception processing means 160 refers to the e-mail account management table 112, and acquires a password and a received e-mail server corresponding to the e-mail account selected in step S32. Then, the acquired received mail server is accessed using the e-mail account selected in step S32 and the acquired password. Then, it is confirmed whether or not there is a new e-mail on the received mail server, and the process proceeds to step S34.

  [Step S34] The e-mail reception processing means 160 proceeds to step S35 if there is a new e-mail in the received mail server accessed in step S33, and proceeds to step S36 if there is no new e-mail. .

  [Step S35] The e-mail reception processing means 160 receives a new e-mail from the received mail server accessed in step S33, and registers the contents of the e-mail in the information management table 113. At this time, along with registration of the contents of the e-mail, the recipient is registered in the item 113a of “system ID”. At the time of content registration, the e-mail transmission date is registered in the “transmission date” item 113g. Further, the “mail flag” item 113b, the “reception flag” item 113e, and the “new arrival flag” item 113p are respectively set to “1”, and the account number corresponding to the email account selected in step S32 is set. The information is registered in the item 113 f of “account number”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S36.

  [Step S36] The e-mail reception processing means 160 checks whether all e-mail accounts acquired in step S31 have been processed. If all the email accounts have been processed, the email reception process is terminated. If not processed for all e-mail accounts, the process proceeds to step S32.

The above is the processing procedure of the e-mail reception process.
Here, assuming that the above-mentioned e-mail reception process is performed for the user with the system ID “U0001”, in the present embodiment, in the process for the account number “2”, the received mail corresponding to the account number “2” Since the domain name of the server is “r2.com”, a newly arrived electronic mail 70 is received from the received mail server 420 having this domain name.

  In the e-mail 70, an e-mail address “a@a.com” is designated as a sender, and an e-mail address corresponding to an e-mail account “mail2” with a system ID “U0001” is designated as a receiver, in addition to the title and text. Yes. The transmission date of the e-mail 70 is “2003/10/30”.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the content of the electronic mail 70 is registered in the fourth record of the information management table 113 in association with the recipient (system ID “U0001”). The account number “2” corresponding to the received mail server 420 is registered in the “account number” item 113f.

Next, ToDo reception processing will be described.
FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of ToDo reception processing. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 12 will be described along with step numbers.

  [Step S41] The ToDo reception processing unit 170 refers to the ToDo account management table 111 and acquires all registered system IDs. Then, the process proceeds to step S42.

[Step S42] The ToDo reception processing unit 170 selects one system ID from the system IDs acquired in Step S41, and proceeds to Step S43.
[Step S43] The ToDo reception processing means 170 searches the new arrival ToDo table 114 based on the system ID selected in step S42, and confirms whether or not a new arrival ToDo has arrived. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S44.

  [Step S44] If a new arrival ToDo has arrived in the new arrival ToDo table 114, the ToDo reception processing means 170 advances the processing to step S45. If no new arrival ToDo has arrived, the process proceeds to step S47.

  [Step S45] The ToDo reception processing means 170 acquires a new arrival ToDo from the new arrival ToDo table 114, and registers the contents of the new arrival ToDo in the information management table 113. At this time, the recipient is registered in the item 113a of “System ID” along with the registration of the contents of the new arrival ToDo. When registering the contents, the transmission date of the new ToDo is registered in the “transmission date” item 113g. Furthermore, the “ToDo flag” item 113c, the “reception flag” item 113e, and the “new arrival flag” item 113p are each set to “1”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S46.

  [Step S46] The ToDo reception processing means 170 refers to the new arrival ToDo table 114 and deletes the new arrival ToDo acquired in step S45. Then, the process proceeds to step S47.

  [Step S47] The ToDo reception processing means 170 checks whether or not processing has been performed for all system IDs acquired in step S41. If processing has been performed for all system IDs, the ToDo reception processing is terminated. If all the system IDs have not been processed, the process proceeds to step S42.

The above is the processing procedure of the ToDo reception processing.
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, one ToDo from the user with the system ID “U0002” to the user with the system ID “U0001” is registered in the new arrival ToDo table 114 as the new arrival ToDo.

  Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the contents of the new ToDo acquired from the new ToDo table 114 are associated with the recipient (system ID “U0001”) in the fifth record of the information management table 113. be registered. In the item 113g of “transmission date”, the transmission date “2003/10/31” of the acquired new ToDo is registered.

Next, transmission content reference request processing and reception content reference request processing will be described.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of a transmission content reference request process. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 13 will be described in order of step number.

  [Step S51] The client makes a transmission content reference request to the communication information integration management server 100. This reference request also includes the system ID of the user who uses the client.

[Step S52] The reference request processing unit 180 acquires a reference request from the client, and then proceeds to step S53.
[Step S53] The reference request processing unit 180 searches the “system ID” item 113a of the information management table 113 using the system ID included in the reference request acquired in step S52 as a key. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S54.

  [Step S54] The reference request processing means 180 checks whether there is a record in which the item 113d of “transmission flag” is set to “1” among the records obtained as a search result in step S53. If there is such a record, all corresponding records are extracted, and the process proceeds to step S55. If there is no such record, the process proceeds to step S57.

  [Step S55] The reference request processing means 180 selects one record from the records extracted in Step S54, and acquires data of each item constituting the record. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S56.

  [Step S56] The reference request processing means 180 checks whether there is a record from which data has not been acquired among the records extracted in Step S54. If there is a record for which data has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step S55. If there is no record for which data has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step S57.

[Step S57] The reference request processing unit 180 creates transmission content display information for displaying the acquired data as a list on the screen, and transmits it to the client.
[Step S58] The client receives the transmission content display information transmitted from the communication information integrated management server 100 in step S57. The above is the transmission content reference request processing.

Next, the received content reference request process will be described.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the processing procedure of the received content reference request processing. In the following, the process illustrated in FIG. 14 will be described in order of step number.

  [Step S61] The client requests the communication information integrated management server 100 to refer to the received content. This reference request also includes the system ID of the user who uses the client.

[Step S62] The reference request processing unit 180 acquires a reference request from the client, and then proceeds to step S63.
[Step S63] The reference request processing means 180 searches the “system ID” item 113a of the information management table 113 using the system ID included in the reference request acquired in step S62 as a key. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S64.

  [Step S64] The reference request processing means 180 checks whether there is a record in which the item 113e of the “reception flag” is set to “1” among the records obtained as a search result in step S63. If there is such a record, all the corresponding records are extracted, and the process proceeds to step S65. If there is no such record, the process proceeds to step S67.

  [Step S65] The reference request processing unit 180 selects one record from the records extracted in Step S65, and acquires data of each item constituting the record. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S66.

  [Step S66] The reference request processing unit 180 checks whether there is a record from which data has not been acquired among the records extracted in Step S64. If there is a record for which data has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step S65. If there is no record for which data has not been acquired, the process proceeds to step S67.

[Step S67] The reference request processing means 180 creates received content display information for displaying the acquired data as a list on the screen, and transmits it to the client.
[Step S68] The client receives the received content display information transmitted from the communication information integrated management server 100 in step S68. The above is the processing procedure of the received content reference request processing.

  In the present embodiment, the client 210 makes a transmission content reference request and a reception content reference request to the communication information integrated management server 100. Each reference request includes the system ID “U0001”. Then, the transmission content reference request process and the received content reference request process are performed for each reference request.

  In response to a transmission content reference request, the first to third records are extracted from the information management table 113, and transmission content display information 61 for displaying a list of data acquired from these records is communication information integration. It is transmitted from the management server 100 to the client 210.

  Also, in response to a received content reference request, the fourth to fifth records are extracted from the information management table 113, and the received content display information 62 is used to display a list of data acquired from these records. Sent from the integrated management server 100 to the client 210.

The client 210 receives the transmission content display information 61 and the reception content display information 62, and displays a list of contents based on the information on the screen 90.
Next, a screen configuration of information displayed by the transmission content display information 61 and the reception content display information 62 will be described.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a screen configuration example of information displayed by transmission content display information.
As shown in FIG. 15, as contents based on the transmission content display information 61, for example, in a window 91 displayed on the screen 90, an e-mail and ToDo transmitted by the user of the client 210 can be identified. A list is displayed in a grid pattern. The displayed date indicates the transmission date of each information (transmission date registered in the item 113g of “transmission date” in the information management table 113). Thus, by displaying a list of e-mails and ToDos in a grid, information can be displayed so that it is easy for the user to see.

  Furthermore, by sorting the transmission date of each information, each information is displayed in the order of time series. In the present embodiment, the content transmitted using e-mail (corresponding to the information registered in the first record of the information management table 113), the content transmitted using e-mail and ToDo together (in the information management table 113). Corresponding to the information registered in the second record), and the contents transmitted using ToDo (corresponding to the information registered in the third record of the information management table 113) are time-series with respect to the transmission date, respectively. Are displayed in the order.

  Also, the email accounts “mail1” and “mail2” owned by the user of the client 210 are distinguished as in the “mail 1” column and the “mail 2” column, and the respective email accounts can be identified. Become. In the present embodiment, the column “mail 1” corresponds to the email account “mail1”, and the column “mail 2” corresponds to the email account “mail2”.

FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a screen configuration example of information displayed by the received content display information.
As shown in FIG. 16, as content based on the received content display information 62, for example, in a window 92 displayed on the screen 90, the e-mail and ToDo received by the user of the client 210 are respectively identified in the same manner as described above. Are displayed in a list in a grid.

  Similar to the above, sorting is performed on the transmission date of each information, so that the contents of the received e-mail (corresponding to the information registered in the fourth record of the information management table 113) and received The contents of ToDo (corresponding to the information registered in the fifth record of the information management table 113) are displayed in order of time series. Also, the e-mail account is distinguished as in the “Mail 1” column and the “Mail 2” column.

  As described above, the communication information integrated management server 100 automatically distributes input information depending on whether or not “@” is included in the receiver of the input information transmitted from the client. By creating input information using a predetermined application that operates on the e-mail, it is possible to selectively use electronic mail and ToDo. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately use mailers and software such as groupware equipped with ToDo as in the past, so that it is possible to eliminate the increase in operation procedures accompanying separate use and the trouble of logging in separately. .

  Further, the communication information integration management server 100 registers the electronic mail and ToDo received by the communication information integration management server 100 at a predetermined timing in the information management table 113 in association with the system ID designated as the receiver. The received electronic mail and ToDo can be centrally managed on the information management table 113.

  Also, by preparing the transmission flag and the reception flag in the information management table 113, the information received by the communication information integrated management server 100 and the transmitted information can be identified in the information management table 113, and a reference request from a client can be identified. On the other hand, appropriate data can be extracted. Sending and receiving contents are displayed in a list on the client screen, so there is no need for complicated operations associated with the use of different applications as in the past, and operations required for browsing contents and searching for information. It can be greatly reduced.

  Also, by identifying an email account using an account number, even when a user has multiple email accounts, they can be automatically identified and displayed on the client screen. Each email account can be identified and displayed. Therefore, unlike the prior art, it is not necessary to log in for each e-mail account, and it is possible to eliminate an increase in operation procedures associated with the use of e-mail accounts and the trouble of logging in separately.

  In the above description, when the contents based on the transmission content display information 61 and the reception content display information 62 are displayed, the e-mail and ToDo are displayed without being classified. However, for each e-mail and each ToDo, Thus, both can be classified and displayed. Furthermore, in the case of an e-mail, it can also be classified and displayed for each e-mail account.

  The processing function of the communication information integrated management server 100 can be realized by a server computer. In this case, a communication information management integrated program describing the processing contents of functions that the communication information integrated management server 100 should have is provided. The server computer executes the communication information management integrated program in response to a request from the client computer. As a result, the processing function is realized on the server computer, and the processing result is provided to the client computer.

  The communication information management integrated program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a recording medium readable by the server computer. Examples of the recording medium readable by the server computer include a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, and a semiconductor memory. Magnetic recording devices include hard disk devices (HDD), flexible disks (FD), magnetic tapes, and the like. Examples of the optical disc include a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), a DVD-RAM (Random Access Memory), a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), and a CD-R (Recordable) / RW (ReWritable). Magneto-optical recording media include MO (Magneto-Optical disk).

  When the communication information management integrated program is distributed, for example, portable recording media such as DVDs and CD-ROMs on which the communication information management integrated program is recorded are sold.

  The server computer that executes the communication information management integrated program stores, for example, the communication information management integrated program recorded in the portable recording medium in its own storage device. Then, the server computer reads the communication information management integrated program from its own storage device, and executes processing according to the communication information management integrated program. The server computer can also read the communication information management integration program directly from the portable recording medium and execute processing according to the program.
