Description

  The present invention relates to an information cooperation program for an information sharing system to which a so-called “sticky note” function is added, which describes proprietary information that is not desired to be shared for a shared information message in an information sharing system such as groupware.

Traditionally, writing notes on a homepage linked and subscribed over a network, similar to the act of writing notes and readings directly on a book page or underlining important points under writing, A memo writing system on the homepage display screen that allows you to insert annotations and reference items on the screen, draw underline and strikethrough on the homepage screen, and save and redisplay the written notes Is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-222113 A

However, in the conventional memo writing system on the homepage display screen, the subject of the invention is a homepage that is external to the system, so if the homepage targeted for memo writing is changed or the URL is changed, The effectiveness of linking homepage (shared information) and memo information (proprietary information) is lost.
Furthermore, as long as the home page is the subject of the invention, it is managed by URL, and on the home page, the same object is often expressed by a different URL (for example, the URL is different between the bulletin board list display and the text display). The same message is displayed.) The memo attached on one homepage cannot be referred to on other screens.
Therefore, in the conventional system, after writing a memo and a predetermined time has passed, it may not be possible to reach the homepage related to the memo from the stored memo content, or it was attached on one homepage. There is a problem that memos may not be referenced on other screens. For this reason, it can be said that the system using the invention described in the cited document 1 is a less effective invention as it is not generally known.
Note that “URL (Uniform Resource Locator)” is a description method that indicates the location of information resources (documents, images, etc.) existing on the Internet.

  At present, when handling “information that you do not want to share”, a method is generally adopted in which the information is written in the “memo pad” of the user terminal and the written information is stored in the terminal. However, in this case, since there is no cooperation with the shared information, a troublesome operation is required even if an attempt is made to access the portion where the message of the shared information targeted for writing the memo is described. For example, after a considerable amount of time has passed since writing, if you do not understand the meaning of the memo contents and you want to access the part that contains the shared information message that was the subject of the memo writing, you can access the shared information again. After opening the shared information on the terminal screen, it is necessary to search for a message in which the contents for which the memo is written are described. Furthermore, since the memo is stored in a personal terminal, there is a high possibility that the user cannot refer to it if the user is using another terminal.

  In addition, for displaying shared information and exclusive information on the same screen, the bulletin board system determines whether each message has already been read (read / unread), and shows the read / unread status. What is displayed as an icon is known (eg, ATSON-1, transcosmos, released in 1990). However, this bulletin board system does not have a function of writing “memo information” with free contents to be written as personal notes.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-mentioned problem. Information that enhances user convenience and effectiveness by linking shared information and personal proprietary information and displaying them appropriately on the terminal screen. An object is to provide an information linkage program for a shared system.

In order to achieve the above object, in the information linkage program of the present invention,
A computer of an information sharing system comprising a server to which a user terminal is connected via a network, and a shared information database and a dedicated information database connected to the server,
Identifier giving means for giving a unique identifier to the display target shared information and the proprietary information existing in the information sharing system, or the display target shared information taken into the information sharing system from resources on the network;
Shared information screen generation for generating and distributing a terminal screen in which shared information having a unique identifier in the information sharing system and a writing field of exclusive information associated with a message of the shared information are displayed on the same screen Delivery means,
Exclusive information writing means for writing exclusive information exclusively for a specific user by operating the user terminal in a writing column on the distributed shared information display screen,
Linkage information screen generation / distribution means for generating / distributing a terminal screen in which the shared information and the written proprietary information are displayed on the same screen;
Function as
The identifier assigning means assigns a unique identifier to information to be displayed regardless of shared information or proprietary information, and builds a system system closed by each target having the identifier on the shared system, and directly All targets with identifiers that exist inside closed systems that cannot handle resources on the Internet are managed .
The shared information screen generation / distribution means uses one or more shared information links stored in a proprietary information database, acquires a shared information record to be displayed from the shared information database, and displays a shared information terminal screen. In addition to generating and displaying the shared information and the “memo” button associated with the message of the shared information on the same terminal screen, and selecting the “memo” button on this terminal screen, Memo edit screen area is displayed on the terminal screen,
The proprietary information writing means writes a memo in a “memo entry field” in the memo editing screen area displayed on the terminal screen by a selection operation of the “memo” button,
The link information screen generation / distribution means acquires a shared information record to be displayed from the shared information database, acquires a dedicated information record from the dedicated information database using the information identifier of the shared information as a key, and the acquired shared information and A terminal screen in which “memo contents” as proprietary information associated with a shared information message is displayed on the same screen is generated and distributed .

  Therefore, in the information cooperation program of the information sharing system according to the present invention, the identifier assigning means allows the display target shared information and the proprietary information existing in the information sharing system or the resources on the network to enter the information sharing system. A unique identifier is assigned to the shared information to be displayed. Then, in the shared information screen generation / distribution means, the terminal screen displaying the shared information having the only identifier in the information sharing system and the writing field of the exclusive information associated with the message of the shared information on the same screen Is generated and distributed, and the exclusive information writing means writes the exclusive information exclusively for a specific user by operating the user terminal in the writing column on the distributed shared information display screen. Then, in the cooperation information screen generation / distribution means, a terminal screen in which the shared information and the written proprietary information are displayed on the same screen is generated / distributed.

That is, in order to give a unique identifier to information to be displayed (regardless of shared information or proprietary information), a closed system system is constructed by each object having the identifier on the information sharing system.
In other words, since the management targets of the present invention are all targets having identifiers that exist inside the closed system system, for example, as in the case of a home page, the URL is changed and the cooperation destination is changed. There is no such thing.
Moreover, since the shared information among the management targets is an individual document having an identifier, a memo attached to one homepage cannot be referred to on another screen unlike a homepage managed by a URL. For the same document, the same proprietary information (for example, a memo) can be referenced / updated on any screen.

As described above, in the present invention, a closed system system is constructed, and all objects having identifiers existing inside the closed system system are to be managed by the invention. Can achieve “sticky” functions.
For example, it is possible to leave a memo in a writing column displayed in a part of a message of shared information in which the user feels that a memo is necessary.
For example, a memo with free contents can be described as proprietary information that is not desired to be shared in a writing field displayed on the terminal screen.
・ For example, the written content can be used as a personal note and used as a draft memo such as a conversation or a lecture.
-For example, by editing the written content, it is possible to make a draft before writing as shared information.

In addition, the information link functions listed below can be achieved.
For example, by using the written exclusive information list screen as a bookmark, the shared information can be easily reached.
-For example, when proprietary information is to be promoted to shared information, it can be promoted to shared information by an easy operation within the same system.

  As described above, by coordinating shared information and personal proprietary information and displaying them appropriately on the terminal screen, "sticky note" functions and information link functions are achieved, improving the convenience and effectiveness of users. Can be increased.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for realizing the information linkage program of the information sharing system of the present invention will be described based on Embodiment 1 shown in the drawings.

First, the system configuration will be described.
FIG. 1 is an overall system diagram showing an information sharing system to which the information cooperation program of the first embodiment is applied, FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a table of a dedicated information database in the information sharing system of the first embodiment, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the table of the shared information database in an information sharing system.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the information sharing system according to the first embodiment includes a server 1, a user terminal 2, a network 3, a dedicated information database 4, and a shared information database 5.

  The information linkage program of this system is a program that operates by using one or more servers 1, a dedicated information database 4 and a shared information database 5 connected thereto.

  The information linkage program according to the first embodiment is directly applied to the user terminal 2 used by the user by using the server 1 that generates and distributes the terminal screen (typically, but not limited to, a web server). Or display the screen remotely.

The server 1 is a computer that provides its own functions and data to the user terminal 2 in a computer network.
An appropriate database driver is installed in the server 1, and the exclusive information database 4 and the shared information database 5 can be used in a web application or the like.

The user terminal 2 is, for example, a personal computer equipped with a browser capable of browsing web pages, and is connected to the server 1 via a network 3 such as the Internet.
The user terminal 2 includes a keyboard 2a as an operation input unit, a monitor 2b that displays a terminal screen, a mouse (not shown), and the like.
In FIG. 1, four user terminals 2 </ b> A, 2 </ b> B, 2 </ b> C, and 2 </ b> D are simply shown, but a large number of user terminals are actually connected via the network 3.

The exclusive information database 4 is a collection of exclusive information exclusively owned by a specific individual, and stores the exclusive information itself and one or more links to shared information.
As shown in FIG. 2, the table of each proprietary information database 4 includes information identifier 4a (key), information owner 4b (key), information type 4c, information body It has a category 4d, a shared information link 4e (key), and additional information 4f.
Each record in the proprietary information database 4 has a unique identifier in the system (identifier assigning means).
In FIG. 1, one dedicated information database 4 is simply shown, but in actuality, areas are allocated according to the number of user terminals using the system.
Also, the table illustrated in FIG. 2 is displayed in a simplified manner for the understanding of the system, and is actually implemented in a different manner for the purpose of speeding up.

The additional information 4f in the proprietary information database 4 will be described.
Since the size of the shared information is large, it may be practically insufficient to cooperate in information units.
Therefore, by storing the internal position of the shared information as the additional information, the display positional relationship between the shared information and the exclusive information can be made more convenient.
Specifically, if the shared information is an XML document, data specifying the position in the document based on the DOM tree information is held as additional information.
When the shared information is image information, data specifying the position where the image information exists is held as additional information.
When the shared information is moving image information, data (elapsed time from the start) specifying the position where the moving image information exists is held as additional information.
Note that the convenience of such additional information is conditional on the cooperation destination being unchanged. This is why the system does not deal directly with constantly changing objects such as homepages.

The shared information database 5 is a collection of shared information such as bulletin board messages, and is designed and implemented individually such as a bulletin board subsystem and a blog subsystem according to the application.
As shown in FIG. 3, the table of the shared information database 5 includes an information identifier 5a (key), a subsystem type 5b, subsystem information 5c, an information type 5d, and an information body 5e. .
Each record of all tables has a unique identifier in the system (identifier assigning means).
Note that the table illustrated in FIG. 3 is displayed in a simplified manner for the understanding of the system, and is actually implemented in a different manner for the purpose of speeding up.

As described above, the information sharing system according to the first embodiment includes the following features.
The link of the shared information database 5 is stored in the table of the dedicated information database 4 that stores the dedicated information (FIG. 2).
-Proprietary information accompanying the display of shared information is also displayed (display screen: FIG. 12).
Since all information has an identifier, a linkage can be created between any information in the system.

Next, a process for generating a linkage information screen will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process of generating the cooperation information screen for displaying the shared information and the exclusive information on the same screen in the information sharing system of the first embodiment. Each step will be described below (cooperation information screen generation / distribution means) ).
In step S41, a shared information record to be displayed is acquired from the shared information database 5, and the process proceeds to step S42.
In the next step S42, the exclusive information record is acquired from the exclusive information database 4 using the information identifier 5a of the shared information as a key, and the process proceeds to step S43.
In the next step S43, a screen is generated from the data (shared information data and proprietary information data), and the process proceeds to the end.
In other words, in order to merge and display the proprietary information on the shared information screen, the shared information display screen can be displayed by subtracting the proprietary information table based on the information identifier of each shared information displayed on the screen. And exclusive information are displayed adjacent to each other.
An example of the screen thus generated is a bulletin board display screen such as FIG.

Next, a process for generating the exclusive information list screen will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process for generating the exclusive information list screen in the information sharing system according to the first embodiment. Each step will be described below.
In step S51, a record with a link to shared information is acquired from the proprietary information database 4, and the process proceeds to step S52.
In the next step S52, a part of the shared information record is acquired from the shared information database 5 using the information identifier 5a of the shared information as a key, and the process proceeds to step S53.
In the next step S53, a screen is generated from the data (exclusive information data having a shared information link), and the process proceeds to the end.
That is, in order to display a list of exclusive information linked to the shared information in an appropriate order (for example, in time series), the exclusive information having the shared information link is displayed.
An example of the screen generated in this way is the memo list screen shown in FIG.

Next, each operation performed by the terminal user will be described.
When using this system, each operation performed by the terminal user will be described below with reference to an example of the display screen displayed on the monitor 2b of the user terminal 2 shown in FIGS.

That is, by simply clicking the “jump” button 99, it is possible to jump from the memo list display screen to the bulletin board display screen in which the memo is written.

Category Selection Display FIG. 22 is a diagram showing an example of a memo list display screen when the “red” button is clicked on the memo list display screen in the information sharing system of the first embodiment.
For example, when the “red” button 103 is clicked on the memo list display screen shown in FIG. 20, only messages of the corresponding category can be displayed on the memo list display screen as shown in FIG.
That is, although categories can be freely assigned, in this system, since the proprietary information is expressed in the form of a memo, it is natural to express the category as the color of the “sticky note”.

Next, the technical background will be described.
Information sharing systems are represented by groupware, SNS, Wiki, blog, and the like.
“Groupware” refers to software that supports group collaboration through information sharing and communication using intra-group LANs such as schools and companies.
“SNS (Social Networking Site)” refers to a website composed of a large number of community members.
“Wiki” refers to a web content management system that can easily issue and edit web pages from a web browser.
“Blog” is a collective term for diary-like websites operated by individuals and groups of people and updated daily.

  However, these information sharing systems are suitable for the purpose of information sharing, but lack the perspective of personal information management and cooperation with other tools is indispensable. Information is not fully utilized.

For example, when reading, pages that contain information that you want to read back later, pages that may contain information that you may need later, or pages that contain content that you are interested in a little later. Sticky notes with simple memos are pasted.
Then, after pasting a “sticky note” and a considerable amount of time and days have passed, open the page where the “sticky note” has been added again and check the memo, for example, write down the written content and create a document Edit work such as.

  Similarly, there is a user request for adding a function corresponding to the “sticky note” on a bulletin board display screen or the like subscribed via a network.

  However, “memo information” written on “sticky notes” should not be handled as shared information like “memo information” in the conventional memo writing system on the homepage display screen, and is not to be shared. Or information that should not be shared (personal proprietary information).

  On the other hand, even when looking at conventional information sharing systems such as educational information sharing systems, various studies have been conducted on information sharing functions. Little attention was paid.

Therefore, the information cooperation program of the information sharing system of Example 1 is
-Equipped with a function for linking shared information such as bulletin board messages and non-shared proprietary information that a specific individual occupies increases the effectiveness of the information sharing system.
・ Proprietary information has been stored on the terminal in the past, and it seems that there was some difficulty in linking with the information on the server side, but now it is the Internet era, and it is possible to store the proprietary information mainly on the server side. It became the main choice from the viewpoint of convenience and practicality.
With this in mind, the information sharing system has a “personal information management function”.

Next, specific convenience will be described.
In the information linkage program of the first embodiment, “information that you do not want to share” is expressed as “memo”. Since the exclusive information by this “memo” is not disclosed to other users at all, it is possible to describe free contents.

  In this system, since shared information and exclusive information exist in the same system, it is easy to share information by using the exclusive information list screen narrowed down as a bookmark by searching and classifying exclusive information. Can be reached.

  There are many uses for personal notes. It's also convenient when talking or giving a lecture based on shared information (for example, no one writes jokes on shared information). Conventionally, such proprietary information has been a role of “memo pad” (software or real memo pad).

  Pasting the memo before writing as shared information as a memo is convenient when actually writing the shared information later. Since the shared information and the memo are linked, there is no such thing as “what was this memo?” Like a paper memo.

  As shown in the memo list display screen of FIG. 20, by displaying only the proprietary information under appropriate conditions, quick access to shared information (for example, FIG. 21) can be realized.

  By assigning a category to the proprietary information, the convenience of the proprietary information is greatly increased. For example, the system according to the first embodiment is designed so as to obtain an intuitive understanding by expressing a category with a color. Also, by selecting a category, a list of proprietary information for each purpose can be generated as shown in FIG.

  Finally, when it is desired to “promote” proprietary information to shared information, it can be realized simply by moving data to the shared information database 5 because it is information in the same system.

Next, the effect will be described.
In the information cooperation program of the information sharing system of the first embodiment, the effects listed below can be obtained.

  (1) A computer of an information sharing system comprising a server 1 to which a user terminal 2 is connected via a network 3, a shared information database 5 and a dedicated information database 4 connected to the server 1, and the information Identifier providing means for assigning a unique identifier to the display target shared information and exclusive information existing in the shared system, or to the display target shared information taken into the information sharing system from resources on the network, the information sharing Shared information screen generation / distribution means for generating / distributing terminal information in which shared information having a unique identifier in the system and a writing field of exclusive information associated with the message of the shared information are displayed on the same screen, In the entry field on the distributed shared information display screen, the exclusive information that a specific individual user occupies by operating the user terminal Proprietary information writing means for writing, sharing information and personal exclusive use in order to function as a linkage information screen generation / distribution means for generating and distributing a terminal screen displaying the shared information and the written exclusive information on the same screen By coordinating information and performing appropriate display on the terminal screen, it is possible to provide an information collaboration program for an information sharing system with improved user convenience and effectiveness.

  (2) The exclusive information database 4 includes records of an information identifier 4a, an information owner 4b, an information type 4c, an information body / category 4d, and a shared information link 4e. The shared information database 5 includes an information identifier 5a , Subsystem type 5b, subsystem information 5c, information type 5d, and information body 5e, and the identifier assigning means has a unique identifier in the system for each record. With this simple method, a closed system system that cannot be viewed from other user terminals can be constructed on the information sharing system.

  (3) The exclusive information database 4 has a record of additional information 4f having a unique identifier in the system, and specifies the position of information required by individual users when the size of the shared information is large. Since data is held as additional information, it is possible to achieve cooperation between shared information and proprietary information in a closed system system while supporting large-sized shared information.

  (4) The shared information screen generation / distribution means acquires a shared information record to be displayed from the shared information database 5 using one or more shared information links 4e stored in the exclusive information database 4, Since the shared information terminal screen is generated, the shared information terminal screen can be easily generated using the shared information link 4e.
