  FIG. 3 is a functional block diagram illustrating a configuration example of the confirmation support apparatus 1 included in the confirmation support system of the present invention. The confirmation support apparatus 1 implements various functions as various program modules by executing the computer program 1000 of the present invention. Further, the confirmation support apparatus 1 executes a computer program 1000 of the present invention, thereby a form database (form DB) 11a for recording form information for displaying a form having a plurality of input items in the recording area of the recording unit 11. Various databases such as a setting database (setting DB) 11b for recording settings for confirming input information input to the input items of the form are formed.

  The form database 11 a is not necessarily provided in the confirmation support apparatus 1, but an apparatus such as a file server computer connected to the communication network 100, an apparatus such as a web server computer installed on the Internet connected via the communication network 100, Various devices such as the input / output device 2 can be used as the form database 11a. For example, when purchasing an air ticket via the Internet, a file formed using a language such as HTML or XML that forms a web page for inputting various input information related to the purchase of the air ticket is form information. Can be regarded as the form database 11a.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram conceptually showing an example of the recorded contents of the setting database 11b provided in the confirmation support apparatus 1 of the present invention. The setting database 11b includes user identification information such as an employee ID for identifying a user, group identification information for identifying a group such as a department, section, section, and project team in charge of work, and a type indicating the type of form information. Various information such as information, item information indicating input items, and method information indicating a confirmation method are recorded in association with each other. Only one or both of the user identification information and the group identification information may be recorded. It is also possible to associate a plurality of item information and method information with one type information. The types of form information are each group classified based on the form of form information such as material purchase list, product order list, etc. The same type of form information is the same type of information with the same input items. It is. When the form information is a web page having input items, information such as a URL related to the web page may be used as type information. Instead of recording various information in association with the form type, various information may be recorded for each form. In this case, information that identifies the form itself is used instead of the type information. Although FIG. 4 shows a form in which various types of information are recorded in a table format, if various types of information can be recorded in association with each other, the setting database 11b is formed using a page description language such as XML. You may do it.

  Returning to the functional block diagram of FIG. 3, the confirmation support apparatus 1 accesses the setting database 11b, records and updates various information related to confirmation, and extracts various recorded information, and inputs the input items. As a collation control means 10b for controlling the collation processing of the input information, a handwriting recognition means 10c for recognizing the contents of the input by handwriting, a voice recognition means 10d for recognizing the contents of the input by voice, and a voice synthesis process based on the input information Various functions are realized by various program modules such as speech synthesis means 10e for generating speech information in a format such as WMA. Note that some of the functions of the handwriting recognition unit 10c, the speech recognition unit 10d, the speech synthesis unit 10e, etc. may use functions provided in other devices, or a dedicated coprocessor may be mounted.

  Next, processing of each device provided in the confirmation support system of the present invention will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the confirmation setting process of each device provided in the confirmation support system of the present invention. The user operates the input / output device 2 and logs in to the confirmation support apparatus 1 by inputting user identification information, and then performs input for specifying a form or form type as confirmation setting. For convenience, the description will be made assuming that the form type is designated. The input / output device 2 receives an input for designating the type of the form by the code input unit 26 or the position instruction unit 27 under the control of the control unit 20 (S101), and requests the transmission of the form of the designated form. A request is transmitted from the communication unit 23 to the confirmation support apparatus 1 via the communication network 100 (S102). As described above, in step S101, the form itself may be specified instead of the operation of specifying the form type. In this case, in step S102, the specified form is transmitted instead of the form form. Required. The form form is form information indicating a form in which an input field is blank or dummy information is input.

  The confirmation support apparatus 1 receives the form request at the communication unit 13 under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the computer program 1000 (S103), and uses the form form requested by the received form request or the form itself. Certain form information is extracted from the form database 11a (S104), and the extracted form information is transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the input / output device 2 via the communication network 100 (S105).

  The input / output device 2 receives the form information by the communication unit 23 under the control of the control unit 20 (S106), and displays the form or form of the form based on the received form information on the display unit 24 (S107). When the form information related to the designated form is recorded in the recording unit 21 provided in the input / output device 2, the process of extracting the form information from the recording unit 21 is executed without performing the processes of steps S102 to S106. . If it is recorded in another device such as a web server computer on the Internet, a form request is transmitted to the device, that is, a web page is accessed.

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed from the input / output device 2 included in the confirmation support system of the present invention. FIG. 6 shows an example of a form image output from the input / output device 2 in step S107 of the confirmation setting process. In the image example of the form shown in FIG. 6, the name, affiliation, telephone number (extension number), e-mail address and registration date are shown for the registrant and approver of the form. Input items such as estimated unit price, number of requests, unit, total amount, etc. are shown. Each input item includes information equipment, timer, W706TM, 3,000.0, 2.0, 6,000.0, etc. The input information is shown. In addition, an icon shown as information confirmation and an icon shown as condition setting are arranged at the top of the image. The user makes a transition to a condition setting mode in which a confirmation condition can be set by performing an input to the image shown in FIG. In the condition setting mode, an input for indicating an input item desired to be confirmed is performed.

  FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed from the input / output device 2 included in the confirmation support system of the present invention. FIG. 7 shows a state where the condition setting mode is changed from the state shown in FIG. 6 and the estimated unit price input item is designated as the input item desired to be confirmed. By specifying an input item, a confirmation setting window related to the input item is opened as shown in FIG. The confirmation setting window indicates that the form type is a purchase request slip at the top. As setting items related to confirmation, items such as a setting target, an item name, a confirmation input, a confirmation method, and a matching condition are shown.

  Each setting item will be described. The setting target is a range of users to which the confirmation setting is applied, and selects whether the user is performing the setting or a group to which the user belongs, for example, a group such as a department. In the example shown in FIG. 7, since the personal check box is checked, the confirmation setting is applied only to the user. The item name is the name of the input item. The confirmation input is an item for selecting whether or not confirmation is set. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the confirmation setting is valid because a check box is checked. The confirmation method indicates what method is used for confirmation when confirmation is performed. The confirmation method is roughly divided into output and input. Output is a method of synthesizing and outputting speech based on input information, that is, reading input information. Input is further divided into handwriting input, voice recognition and keyboard. Handwriting input is a method of confirming by re-inputting input information by handwriting. Voice recognition is a method in which a user utters input information and performs confirmation by recognizing the voice of the uttered input information. The keyboard is a method in which a user performs confirmation by re-inputting input information. The user selects one or a plurality of confirmation methods desired from these confirmation methods. In the example shown in FIG. 7, since the check boxes for speech synthesis and handwriting input are checked, confirmation by speech synthesis and handwriting input is performed. The collation condition indicates the degree of collation, and is classified into complete match, forward match, and uppercase / lowercase identification. Complete match means that a match is found only when all of the input information matches. The forward match indicates that a match is made when a specified number of characters in the front match. Uppercase / lowercase identification indicates whether or not the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters is recognized as different characters when the input information includes alphabets. In addition to the collation conditions illustrated in FIG. 7, various collation conditions such as Kanji level matching and reading level matching can be set. The degree of such collation is set for numbers and characters. In the example shown in FIG. 7, since the input item is an estimated unit price, only the numerical matching condition is set as a perfect match. The user can specify an input item and a confirmation method for the specified input item by performing input on the images illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7.

  Returning to the flowchart of FIG. 5, the input / output device 2 receives an input specifying an input item as a setting of the confirmation condition, for example, from the position instruction unit 27 under the control of the control unit 20 (S <b> 108), and further sets the confirmation condition. Then, an input for designating a confirmation method for the designated input item is accepted (S109). If confirmation conditions are set for a plurality of input items, the processes in steps S108 to S109 are repeated.

  Then, under the control of the control unit 20, the input / output device 2 receives the type information indicating the type of the form received in step S101, the item information indicating the input item received in step S108, and the confirmation received in step S109. Method information indicating a method is transmitted from the communication unit 23 to the confirmation support apparatus 1 via the communication network 100 (S110). In step S110, when the form itself is designated instead of the form type, information for identifying the form is transmitted instead of the type information.

  The confirmation support apparatus 1 receives the type information, item information, and method information at the communication unit 13 based on the control of the control unit 10 (S111), and receives the received type information, item information, and method by the setting access unit 10a. The information is recorded in the setting database 11b in association with the user identification information (S112). As the user identification information recorded in step S112, the user identification information authenticated at the time of login is used. When specifying the confirmation method, if the setting target is specified as an individual, the type information and the like are recorded in association with the user identification information. However, when a group is specified, the processing in step S112 is as follows: Type information, item information, and method information are recorded in association with group identification information such as a group ID for identifying a group to which the user belongs. The group identification information can be derived from the user identification information by providing an employee database that records employee personal information in advance and recording it in association with the user identification information. In this way, by configuring the information relating to the confirmation setting in association with the information for identifying the form or the type information to be recorded separately from the form information, the confirmation setting relating to the form information is recorded separately from the form information. Therefore, the present invention can be introduced as a system to be added to an existing form system, and effects such as reduction in introduction cost and expansion of application range can be expected.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of confirmation processing of each device provided in the confirmation support system of the present invention. After setting the confirmation method for the input item by the confirmation setting process, the user confirms the input information input to the input item of the designated form by performing a predetermined operation for designating the form on the input / output device 2. It can be performed. Under the control of the control unit 20, the input / output device 2 accepts an input for designating a form by the code input unit 26 or the position instruction unit 27 (S201), and sends a form confirmation request for requesting confirmation of the designated form to the communication unit 23 to the confirmation support apparatus 1 via the communication network 100 (S202).

  The confirmation support apparatus 1 receives the form confirmation request at the communication unit 13 based on the control of the control unit 10 that executes the computer program 1000 (S203), and requests the received form confirmation request by the setting access unit 10a. The form information indicating the registered form is extracted from the form database 11a (S204), and the confirmation operation recorded in association with the type information indicating the type of the requested form and the user identification information related to the user is recorded. Setting, that is, item information and method information are extracted from the setting database 11b (S205), and the extracted form information and item information and method information are transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the input / output device 2 via the communication network 100 (S206). ). If the setting of the confirmation operation is recorded in association with the type information and the group identification information, in step S205, the item information and the method information recorded in association with the type information and the group identification information are retrieved from the setting database 11b. Extract. If various types of information are recorded in association with information for identifying a form instead of the type of form, the various information recorded in association with the information for identifying the requested form is extracted.

  Under the control of the control unit 20, the input / output device 2 receives the form information and the item information and the method information at the communication unit 23 (S207), and the input items to be confirmed based on the received item information and the method information A form based on the form information indicating the confirmation method is displayed on the display unit 24 (S208). When the form information related to the designated form is recorded in the recording unit 21 included in the input / output device 2, the form information is extracted from the recording unit 21 of the input / output device 2 and the setting database 11 b of the confirmation support device 1. Item information and method information are extracted from. If it is recorded in another device such as a web server computer on the Internet, a form request is transmitted to the device, that is, a web page is accessed.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an image displayed from the input / output device 2 included in the confirmation support system of the present invention. FIG. 9 shows an example of a form image output from the input / output device 2 in step S208 of the confirmation process. In FIG. 9, a form based on the form information is displayed, and among the input items of the form, the display color of the input item for which confirmation is set is different from the other input items, and the display color is Determined based on the method. That is, the display color corresponding to the confirmation method is set in the input item. Note that the input items for which the confirmation setting is made may be shown by a method other than the display color change. Further, an icon indicated as condition setting is arranged at the top of the image, and the image described with reference to FIG. 7 is displayed by performing an instruction to indicate the icon indicated as condition setting. Is possible. Further, the image shown in FIG. 9 is displayed by inputting an instruction indicating information confirmation from the image shown in FIG. The user can perform confirmation processing of individual input information by performing an input for instructing input items for which confirmation setting has been made, for example, using the position instruction unit 27 on the image shown in FIG.

  As a confirmation method, processing when a keyboard is set will be described. FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a screen displayed from the input / output device 2 included in the confirmation system of the present invention. FIG. 10 shows an image displayed when confirming an input item for which the keyboard is set as a confirmation method from the state shown in FIG. 9, and a confirmation window for the estimated unit price item as the corresponding input item opens. ing. In the confirmation window, an estimated unit price indicating the name of the input item, and a numerical value of 3,000.0 which is input information input to the input item are displayed, and a re-entry field shown as a confirmation input Is displayed. The user inputs input information to be input to the input item, in this case, 3000 as a numerical value from the code input unit 26 in the re-input field, and inputs an instruction indicating the confirmation and the icon shown in the confirmation window. The code input confirmation process is started. Since the estimated unit price item is set so that input information that is a numerical value is input, 3,000. 0 and 3000 are the same value. If speech synthesis is set as the confirmation method, a synthesized sound with “Mitsumi Tanka Sanzenen” based on the input information is output when the confirmation window opens. As for the output of the synthesized sound, the confirmation support device 1 generates the speech information based on the input information by the speech synthesizer 10e, transmits the generated speech information to the input / output device 2, and the input / output device 2 receives it. This is realized by outputting sound based on the sound information from the sound output unit 25.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a code input confirmation process of each device provided in the confirmation support system of the present invention. The input / output device 2 receives re-input of input information from the code input unit 26 under the control of the control unit 20 (S301), and sends the received input information from the communication unit 23 to the confirmation support device 1 via the communication network 100. Transmit (S302).

  The confirmation support apparatus 1 receives the input information re-input by the communication unit 13 under the control of the control unit 10 that executes the computer program 1000 (S303). In addition, since the information for identifying the form and the information indicating the input item are added to the re-input information that has been received, the confirmation support apparatus 1 identifies the input information to be collated with the re-input information. can do.

  The confirmation support apparatus 1 extracts the input information previously input from the form database 11a into the input items of the form to be verified by the process of the verification control unit 10b based on the control of the control unit 10, and the previously input The input information and the re-input information are collated (S304), and collation result information indicating the collation result is transmitted from the communication unit 13 to the input / output device 2 via the communication network 100 (S305). The collation in step S304 is performed by reading the collation conditions set in the confirmation setting process from the setting database 11b and determining whether or not they match based on the read collation conditions.
