FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing search result registration processing, and FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing attribute information search processing.

Next, the operation will be described.
For example, the personnel information management device 3 manages personnel information of a company, and when an organization change or personnel change is performed, the latest personnel information (directory information indicating the organization configuration, attribute information of departments constituting the organization). (Department information) and attribute information (personal information) of employees belonging to the organization are transmitted to the information search device 4.

When the network I / F 11 receives personnel information from the personnel information management device 3, the attribute information storage unit 14 of the information search device 4 receives department information, personal information, and directory information stored in the database 15 according to the personnel information. Update.
Here, FIG. 5 shows the attribute information (department information) of the departments constituting the organization. The department information is a unique department ID for identifying the department, the department name of the department, and the higher rank of the department. And the employee ID of the department head who is responsible for the department.
FIG. 6 shows attribute information (personal information) of employees belonging to the organization. The personal information includes a unique employee ID for identifying the employee, the first and last name of the employee, the department ID of the department to which the employee belongs, It consists of the position of the employee concerned. The search base point in FIG. 6 is information indicating the base point from which the attribute information is searched by the search processing unit 16.
FIG. 7 is an organization configuration diagram indicated by the directory information. In the example of FIG. 7, there are a department 1-1 and a department 1-2 under the department 1, and a department 1-under the department 1-1. 1-1 and the department 1-1-2.

For example, when employee A is a search user and wants to obtain personal information of employee E (Mr. Omiya) who does not know the department to which he belongs, the search terminal 1 is operated to access the information search device 4 .
When the network I / F 11 receives access from the search terminal 1, the authentication processing unit 12 of the information search apparatus 4 transmits screen data of a login screen that prompts the employee ID and password to be input to the search terminal 1.

When the search terminal 1 receives the screen data of the login screen from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the login screen on the display, so that the employee A inputs the employee ID and password by operating a keyboard or a mouse. To do.
When the employee A inputs the employee ID and password, the search terminal 1 transmits the employee ID and password to the information search device 4.

  When the network I / F 11 receives the employee ID and password from the search terminal 1, the authentication processing unit 12 of the information search apparatus 4 confirms whether or not the combination of the employee ID and password is stored in the ID storage unit 13. If the combination is stored in the ID storage unit 13, login is permitted. If the combination is not stored in the ID storage unit 13, login is rejected.

When the authentication processing unit 12 permits login, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 accepts input of search conditions for searching for department or employee attribute information (department information, personal information) and the database 15 The screen data of the search screen that displays the organization structure diagram indicated by the directory information stored in the search information is transmitted to the search terminal 1.
If the search base point of FIG. 6 has already been registered, the search processing unit 16 also transmits the search base point to the search terminal 1, but for the sake of convenience of explanation, the search base point has not yet been registered at this point. And
When receiving the screen data of the search screen from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the search screen on the display according to the screen data as shown in FIG.

As a result, if the employee A operates the keyboard, mouse, etc., and clicks the node of the department 1 displayed on the display, for example, the operation information indicating that the node of the department 1 is clicked is retrieved. Transmitted to the device 4.
When the network I / F 11 receives the operation information from the search terminal 1, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 transmits department information that is attribute information of the department 1 from the database 15 to the search terminal 1.
When the search terminal 1 receives the department information that is the attribute information of the department 1 from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the department information on the display.

If the attribute information that the employee A wants to obtain is the department information of the department 1, the search process for this time is finished. However, as described above, the attribute information that the employee A wants to obtain is the employee E ( Since it is personal information of Mr. Omiya), the search process will continue.
That is, the employee A assumes a department where the employee E is likely to belong with reference to the department information of the department 1 and the organization structure diagram. If employee A operates a keyboard, mouse, etc., and clicks on a node of department 1-2, for example, operation information indicating that the node of department 1-2 has been clicked is transmitted to information search device 4. .
When the network I / F 11 receives the operation information from the search terminal 1, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 transmits department information that is attribute information of the department 1-2 from the database 15 to the search terminal 1.
When the search terminal 1 receives the department information that is the attribute information of the department 1-2 from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the department information on the display.

Employee A refers to the department information of department 1-2, and if employee E (Mr. Omiya) belongs to department 1-2, any employee of department 1-2 Click on a node. In the example of FIG. 7, the node of employee E or employee F is clicked. However, just looking at the organization structure diagram, it is not clear which employee's node is the node of “Omiya □□”. , You need to select and click either one.
If the employee A operates a keyboard, a mouse, etc. and clicks on the node of the employee E, for example, the operation information indicating that the node of the employee E is clicked is transmitted to the information search device 4.

When the network I / F 11 receives the operation information from the search terminal 1, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 transmits personal information that is attribute information of the employee E from the database 15 to the search terminal 1.
When receiving the personal information of the employee E from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the personal information on the display.

As described above, the employee A performs the above search process until the personal information of the employee E is successfully obtained.
Therefore, it takes a lot of time for the employee A to obtain the personal information of the employee E.
In the above search process, an example in which employee A does not know the department to which employee E belongs has been explained. However, if employee A knows the department to which employee E belongs, employee A belongs to employee E as a search condition. There is also a search method in which the name of the department to be entered is entered.

That is, when the employee A operates the keyboard, mouse, etc. and inputs “development department” as a search condition on the search screen, the search condition is transmitted to the information search device 4.
When the network I / F 11 receives the search condition from the search terminal 1, the search processing unit 16 of the information search apparatus 4 receives the attribute information of the department or individual that matches the search condition from the attribute information stored in the database 15. Search for. In this example, the department information of the department 1-2 that is the “development department” is searched and transmitted to the search terminal 1.
When the search terminal 1 receives the department information that is the attribute information of the department 1-2 from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the department information on the display. However, if there is a department whose department name is “development department” other than department 1-2, a plurality of department information is retrieved and transmitted from the search terminal 1, so that the plurality of department information is displayed on the display. .

Employee A refers to the department information of department 1-2, and if employee E (Mr. Omiya) belongs to department 1-2, any employee of department 1-2 Click on a node. In the example of FIG. 7, the node of employee E or employee F is clicked. However, just looking at the organization structure diagram, it is not clear which employee's node is the node of “Omiya □□”. , You need to select and click either one.
If the employee A operates a keyboard, a mouse, etc. and clicks on the node of the employee E, for example, the operation information indicating that the node of the employee E is clicked is transmitted to the information search device 4.

When the network I / F 11 receives the operation information from the search terminal 1, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 transmits personal information that is attribute information of the employee E from the database 15 to the search terminal 1.
When receiving the personal information of the employee E from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the personal information on the display.

As described above, according to the search method for inputting the search condition, the search user searches for the desired attribute information more quickly than the method in which the search user appropriately clicks on the department or employee node to search for the desired attribute information. be able to.
However, if you want to obtain personal information of an employee, the search user must perform multiple operations unless specific information that identifies the employee, such as the employee ID or surname, is used as a search condition. In some cases, it may take a long time to obtain desired attribute information.

Therefore, in the first embodiment, the attribute information that has been searched once can be easily searched from the next time.
That is, after acquiring the personal information of the employee E, the employee A searches the personal information of the employee E in the future and operates the search terminal 1 to search by the search processing unit 16. A search base point registration request indicating the base point of the personal information of the employee E is sent to the information search device 4 (step ST1).

When the network I / F 11 receives a search base point registration request for searching for personal information of the employee E from the search terminal 1, the search base point registration unit 17 of the information search device 4 as shown in FIG. The employee ID of employee E is registered as a search base point in the personal information of employee A (steps ST2 and ST3).
Here, although what has registered the search base point for searching the personal information of the employee E is shown, for example, when the department information of the department 1-1-2 is searched as the desired attribute information, the search terminal Upon receiving a search base point registration request for searching for department information of department 1-1-2 from department 1, as shown in FIG. 6, department 1-1-1 is included in the personal information of employee A who is the search user. 2 department IDs are registered as search base points (steps ST2 and ST4). In the example of FIG. 6, the department ID of the department 1-1-2, the higher department ID, and the employee ID of the department head are registered as search base points. However, IDs other than the department ID need not be registered. Absent.

Thereafter, when the employee A wishes to reacquire the personal information of the employee E (Mr. Omiya), the search terminal 1 is operated to access the information search apparatus 4.
When the network I / F 11 receives access from the search terminal 1, the authentication processing unit 12 of the information search apparatus 4 transmits screen data of a login screen that prompts the employee ID and password to be input to the search terminal 1.

When the search terminal 1 receives the screen data of the login screen from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the login screen on the display, so that the employee A inputs the employee ID and password by operating a keyboard or a mouse. To do.
When the employee A inputs the employee ID and password, the search terminal 1 transmits the employee ID and password to the information search device 4.

  When the network I / F 11 receives the employee ID and password from the search terminal 1, the authentication processing unit 12 of the information search device 4 stores the combination of the employee ID and password in the ID storage unit 13 as described above. If the combination is stored in the ID storage unit 13, login is permitted, and if the combination is not stored in the ID storage unit 13, login is rejected.

When the authentication processing unit 12 permits login, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 transmits the screen data of the search screen to the search terminal 1 as described above.
The search processing unit 16 also transmits the search base point to the search terminal 1 because the search base point has already been registered in the personal information of the employee A.
When the search terminal 1 receives the screen data of the search screen from the information search device 4, as shown in FIG. 8, the search terminal 1 displays the search screen on the display according to the screen data, and also displays the search base point on the display.

Thereby, the search base point (employee ID) of employee E and the search base point (department ID) of department 1-1-2 are displayed on the display of search terminal 1, but employee A is employee E (Omiya). Since Mr. □□ wants to obtain personal information again, he / she operates the keyboard and mouse to select the search base (employee ID) of employee E (step ST11).
The search terminal 1 transmits the search base point (employee ID) of the employee E selected by the employee A to the information search device 4.

When the network I / F 11 receives the search base (employee ID) of the employee E from the search terminal 1, the search processing unit 16 of the information search device 4 uses the employee ID as a key to store the attribute information stored in the database 15 The personal information of the employee E is searched from among them (steps ST12 and ST13), and the personal information of the employee E is transmitted to the search terminal 1.
When the search terminal 1 receives the personal information of the employee E from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the personal information on the display (step ST14).

In this example, the search base point (employee ID) of employee E is selected. However, when the search base point (department ID) of department 1-1-2 is selected, the search processing unit 16 of the information search apparatus 4 is selected. Retrieves the department information of the department 1-1-2 from the attribute information stored in the database 15 using the department ID as a key (steps ST12 and ST15), and the department information of the department 1-1-2 Is transmitted to the search terminal 1.
When the search terminal 1 receives the department information of the department 1-1-2 from the information search device 4, the search terminal 1 displays the department information on the display (step ST16).

As is clear from the above, in the first embodiment, the search base point of the attribute information searched by the search processing unit 16 is registered, and the attribute information is acquired from the search base point in the next search process. Therefore, desired attribute information can be obtained by performing the search process only once.
However, as described above, when the attribute information storage unit 14 receives the latest personnel information from the personnel information management device 3, the personal information and department information stored in the database 15 of the information search device 4 is included in the personnel information. Will be updated accordingly.
Therefore, when personal information or department information corresponding to the search base point registered by the search base point registration unit 17 has been changed, even if the search processing unit 16 acquires the search base point, the search base point is used as a key. In some cases, desired personal information and department information cannot be acquired.
Therefore, when the attribute information stored in the database 15 is updated by the attribute information storage unit 14, the search base point changing unit 18 of the information search device 4 performs a process of changing the search base point registered in the database 15. .

Hereinafter, the processing contents of the attribute information storage unit 14 and the search base point change unit 18 of the information search device 4 will be specifically described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing contents of the attribute information storage unit 14 and the search base point change unit 18 of the information search device 4.
Here, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIG. 10, for example, the department 1-1-2 that belongs to the employee D (Yokohama △△) is abolished, and the department that the employee D belongs to is the department 1-1. A case where the position of employee D is changed from a section manager to a general manager will be described.

The attribute information storage unit 14 of the information search device 4 acquires personal information and department information updated from the latest personnel information. In this example, personal information after the change of employee D and department information indicating that department 1-1-2 has been abolished are acquired.
The attribute information storage unit 14 uses the employee ID of the employee D as a key to specify the storage location of the personal information of the employee D in the database (step ST21), and changes the department to which the employee D belongs from the department 1-1-2 to the department 1 Change to -1. Further, the position of employee D is changed from the section manager to the department manager (step ST22).
The attribute information storage unit 14 determines whether or not the employee D is the department manager of the department before the employee D belongs (step ST23). In this example, the employee D is the department manager (section manager). Therefore, using the employee ID of employee D as a key, the storage location of the department information of department 1-1-2 where employee D was the department head is specified, and the department information as shown in FIG. The employee ID in the department head column is cleared (step ST24). However, in this example, since the department information indicating that the department 1-1-2 has been abolished is acquired, all the department information of the department 1-1-2 is cleared.

  Next, after the department to which the employee D belongs is changed, the attribute information storage unit 14 determines whether the employee D is the department head of the department (step ST25). Since it is a department manager (department manager), the department ID of employee D is used as a key to specify the storage location of the department information of department 1-1 to which employee D belongs. The employee ID is changed to the employee ID of employee D (step ST26). In the example of FIG. 11, the department head is changed from employee X to employee D's employee ID.

When the attribute information storage unit 14 changes the personal information and the department information as described above, the search base point changing unit 18 of the information search device 4 searches for a search base point that is affected by the change (step ST27).
In this example, the department ID of department 1-1-2 is registered as a search base in the personal information of employee A, but department 1-1-2 has been abolished and is no longer department 1-1-2. 11 cannot be retrieved, instead of the department ID of the department 1-1-2, the department ID of the department 1-1, which is an upper department of the department 1-1-2, as shown in FIG. New registration is performed (step ST28).
This makes it possible to present the department information of the department 1-1 that has a high possibility of taking over the business of the department 1-1-2.
In the first embodiment, since IDs other than the department ID are also registered as search base points, the department name, upper department ID, and department head ID are also changed at the same time. That is, the department name is changed from the sales section 2 to the sales department, and the upper organization ID is changed from the department 1-1 to the department 1. However, since there is no change in the department head, the department head ID is not changed.

  As apparent from the above, according to the first embodiment, the search base point registration unit 17 for registering the search base point of the attribute information searched by the search processing unit 16 and the attribute information stored in the database 15 are updated. The search base point changing unit 18 for changing the search base point registered in the search base point registration unit 17, and the search processing unit 16 determines the attribute information from the search base point registered in the search base point registration unit 17. Therefore, even when an organizational change or personnel change is performed, for example, the target attribute information can be easily searched.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, when the search base point is registered for each search user by the search base point registration unit 17, the search base point corresponding to the search user is read from the search base point registration unit 17. Since the attribute information is obtained from the search base point and presented, the search base point can be customized for each search user.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, when a plurality of search base points corresponding to the search user are registered by the search base point registration unit 17, selection of an arbitrary search base point is accepted and the search base point is read out. Since it comprised, even if it registers several search base points, there exists an effect which can select desired search base points and can search target attribute information easily.

  Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, since the personnel information is obtained from the personnel information management device 3 and the attribute information is updated according to the personnel information, the attribute information stored in the database 15 is stored. There is an effect that can be automatically updated.

  Further, according to the first embodiment, the attribute information stored in the database 15 only when the attribute information corresponding to the search base point already registered in the search base point registration unit 17 is updated. Since the search base point registered in the search base point registration unit 17 is configured to be changed, there is an effect that it is possible to avoid unnecessary change processing.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, instead of the abandoned department ID 1-1-2, the department ID of the department 1-1, which is a higher-level department of the department 1-1-2, is newly registered. However, it is also possible to newly register the department ID of the department 1-1-1 (Sales Section 1) located below the same upper department (department 1-1) as the department 1-1-2.
Also in this case, it is possible to present the department information of the department 1-1-1, which has a high possibility of taking over the business of the department 1-1-2.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first embodiment, when a plurality of search base points corresponding to the search user are registered by the search base point registration unit 17, the search processing unit 16 receives selection of an arbitrary search base point and reads out the search base point However, when a plurality of search base points corresponding to the search user are registered by the search base point registration unit 17, the search processing unit 16 may read out the search base point having the highest priority.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when two search base points (1) and (2) are registered as search base points corresponding to the employee A, for example, the priority of the search base point (1) Is set higher than the priority of the search base point (2), the search processing unit 16 first reads the search base point (1), acquires attribute information from the search base point (1), and acquires the attribute information. It transmits to the search terminal 1.
As a result, the personal information of the employee E is displayed on the display of the search terminal 1, but when the employee A operates the search terminal 1 and a search base point change request is transmitted from the search terminal 1, the search processing is performed. The unit 16 reads the search base point (2), acquires attribute information from the search base point (2), and transmits the attribute information to the search terminal 1.
As a result, the department information of the department 1-1-2 is displayed on the display of the search terminal 1.

According to the third embodiment, since the search base point having a high priority is read out, there is an effect that the target attribute information can be obtained with high probability even if the search user does not select the search base point one by one.
In the third embodiment, the priorities of a plurality of search base points are set in advance. For example, the search base point last selected by the search user has the highest priority. The priority of the search base point may be updated sequentially.

Embodiment 4 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the department 1-1-2 to which the employee D belongs is abolished, the department to which the employee D belongs is changed to the department 1-1, and the position of the employee D is changed from the section manager to the department manager. As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, for example, when the employee D retires and the employee C is promoted to the section manager of the department 1-1-2. The storage unit 14 clears all the personal information of the employee D and records the section manager in the column of the title in the personal information of the employee C. The attribute information storage unit 14 changes the employee ID of the department head in the department information of department 1-1-2 from the employee D to the employee ID of the employee C.

Since the employee ID of the employee D is registered as the search base point in the personal information of the employee A and the search base point changing unit 18 can no longer search the personal information of the employee D, the search base point changing unit 18 Clear employee D's employee ID from the search base.
Further, the search base point changing unit 18 registers the department ID of the department 1-1-2 as the search base point in the personal information of the employee A, and the department head of the department 1-1-2 changes from the employee D to the employee C. Therefore, the department manager ID at the search base point is also changed from the employee D to the employee ID of the employee C.

Although the case where it is changed is shown, for example, when the department name of the department 1-1-2 is changed, as shown in FIGS. -2 Change the department name in the department information from “Sales 2 Section” to “Sales Planning Section”.
Since the department ID of the department 1-1-2 is registered as the search base point in the personal information of the employee A and the department name of the department 1-1-2 is changed, The department name at the search base is also changed from “Sales 2 Section” to “Sales Planning Section”.

Embodiment 6 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the department 1-1-2 to which the employee D belongs is abolished, the department to which the employee D belongs is changed to the department 1-1, and the position of the employee D is changed from the section manager to the department manager. Although the case of changing is shown, for example, when a department is consolidated (department 1-1, 1-1-1, 1-1-2, 1-2 → departments 3-1, 3-1 1, 1-1-2, 3-1-3), as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. Clear all department information of 1-1, 1-1-2, 1-2, and the department information of departments 3-1, 3-1-1, 3-1-2, 3-1-3 after consolidation Register a new one. At that time, the department ID of the upper department before the consolidation is also added to the department information.

The attribute information storage unit 14 changes the department ID of the department to which the employee whose department has been changed is associated with the consolidation of the department.
For example, the department to which employee B belongs is changed from department 1-1-1 to department 3-1-2, but it is clear from the department information that the department manager of department 3-1-2 is employee B. Because of this change.
Similarly, the department to which employee D belongs is changed from department 1-1-2 to department 3-1-1. From the department information, it is clear that the department head of department 3-1-1 is employee D. Because there is, it is changed in this way.
However, the employees A and C are not the heads of the departments after the consolidation, and the departments to which they belong cannot be determined from the information of the department heads, so the departments are identified by referring to the latest personnel information.

The search base point change unit 18 has the department ID of the department 1-1-2 registered as the search base point in the personal information of the employee A, but the department 1-1-2 has been abolished and is no longer in the department 1- Since the department information of 1-2 cannot be searched, the department ID of the new department 3-1-1 is registered as a search base point.
Here, the department to be newly registered as the search base point is the department 3-1-1 for the following reason.
The department head of the department 1-1-2 before the consolidation is the employee D, and the department in which the employee D is the department head among the departments after the consolidation is the department 3-1-1. This is because if the department heads agree before and after consolidation, the department after consolidation is likely to take over the work of the department before consolidation.

  In this example, the department to be newly registered is determined by focusing on the matching of the department heads. However, the department to be newly registered is determined by focusing on the matching of the higher-level departments and the matching of the department names. It may be.
