  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 illustrates a system configuration according to this embodiment. A data distribution solution is provided by the distribution server 100 in FIG. Specifically, as a computer or an electronic device on which the distribution server 100 is executed, a document distribution server 11 can be used as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 1B, an MFP (Multi-Functional Peripherals) 14 can be used.

  As illustrated, the document distribution system 1 includes a document distribution server 11, a file server 12, a mail server 13, an MFP 14, an administrator terminal 15, and a user terminal 16 that are communicably connected to each other via a network. FIG. 1A is a configuration example in which the distribution server 100 is made independent as a network host, and FIG. 1B is a configuration example in the case where the MFP 14 has the function of the distribution server 100. The present invention can be realized by any configuration, and the MFP may include only a part of the functions of the distribution server 100.

  The file server 12 accumulates the document data distributed from the distribution server 100. The mail server 13 transmits to a designated transmission destination by attaching it to an electronic mail. The administrator terminal 15 and the user terminal 16 can use information processing apparatuses such as general-purpose personal computers, PDAs, tablet terminals, and portable terminals.

  In this embodiment, the MFP 14 has a scan function, that is, an image reading function. However, in the present invention, the MFP 14 is an example, and is an example of an input device that generates input data to be subjected to workflow processing. is there. As input data, not only image data generated by reading a document (original) with a scanner but also image data generated by reading with a camera or the like, or predetermined format data (for example, a form format). Electronic data in which values are input may be used. That is, as long as it is an input device that generates input data (processing target data to be subjected to workflow processing), it is not limited to the MFP 14 and may be an information processing device such as a portable terminal with a camera function or a PC.

  FIG. 2 shows a configuration of the distribution server 100 according to the present embodiment. As illustrated, the distribution server 100 includes, as functional blocks, a workflow control unit 101, a job reception unit 102, a job acquisition unit 103, a workflow setting unit 104, a job queue holding unit 105, a screen definition information holding unit 106, and workflow definition information. It has a holding unit 107 and includes various processing plug-ins 110 and a document check plug-in 111 as plug-ins.

  The workflow control unit 101 controls the entire workflow process executed using each plug-in of the distribution server 100. The “workflow execution request” transmitted from the MFP 14 or the user terminal 16 is received by the job receiving unit 102, and the job receiving unit 102 registers the workflow execution request (execution job) in the job queue of the job queue holding unit 105. The job acquisition unit 103 acquires a job from the job queue of the job queue holding unit 105 and requests the workflow control unit 101 to execute a workflow based on the acquired job. The definition of the workflow to be executed (definition of the order of a series of processes) is set by the workflow setting unit 104, and the workflow definition information that is set and registered is held in the workflow definition information holding unit 107. The workflow is set by, for example, the administrator user terminal 16, and the workflow setting unit 104 provides the administrator user terminal 16 with a workflow setting tool (workflow setting UI screen or the like). The “workflow execution request (execution job)” transmitted from the MFP 14 or the user terminal 16 is selected from the workflow definition information held by the workflow definition information holding unit 107 (information in which one or more workflow definitions are set). Information specifying the desired workflow and information in which various setting values (for example, distribution destinations) for executing the workflow are set are included. The screen definition information holding unit 106 holds various screen information for setting the content of the workflow execution request in the MFP 14 or the user terminal 16, and allows access from a device that wants to execute the workflow process, such as the MFP 14 or the user terminal 16. In response, screen information is provided. The job acquisition unit 103 acquires a necessary job.

  The various processing plug-ins 110 and the document check plug-in 111 are plug-in modules that execute processes in the workflow (that is, the document check plug-in 111 is also one of the processing plug-ins). In the defined workflow, the order of processes executed using one or more process plug-ins out of various process plug-ins is defined. Based on the content of the execution job, the workflow control unit 101 inputs the input data to the processing plug-in 110 or the document check plug-in 111 according to the order of the workflow, the processed data obtained by processing the input data, and each processing. Each plug-in executes data processing based on processing contents and setting values (setting values are not essential), and returns the processed data to the workflow control unit 101. Examples of the processing plug-in 110 include, for example, OCR, noise removal, barcode reading, mail delivery, file storage, file format conversion, and the like. Examples of setting values include information (document data) about the area to be processed. Information for setting which part is to be processed), distribution destination, data format to be converted, and the like.

  For example, if a workflow of a “workflow execution request” is defined to OCR an image scanned by the MFP 14 to read a barcode and deliver it to a URI obtained from the barcode, OCR, barcode reading, and mail delivery Have the three plug-ins execute processing in that order.

  The characteristic processing operation of the present embodiment is mainly performed by the document check plug-in 111, but some other processing plug-in 110 may be used. In the example of FIG. 2, an example in which the document check plug-in 111 is a single plug-in is shown. However, a plurality of plug-ins may be mounted, and a workflow using each plug-in may be performed. The execution form is only an example, and one program module may execute all the processes. In other words, the plug-in implementation provides an advantage that a customer can construct a distribution system according to each customer by purchasing a desired plug-in from a plurality of plug-ins and installing it on the distribution server 100. Although it contributes, the provision method is not limited to this.

  FIG. 3 shows a functional configuration of the document check plug-in 111. As shown in FIG. 3, the document check plug-in 111 includes a condition setting unit 112, an additional data registration unit 113, a fixed data registration unit 114, a data type identification unit 115, a data processing determination unit 116, and a data processing unit as functional blocks. 120. In addition, the data processing unit 120 includes a data addition unit 121, a data deletion unit 122, a data confirmation unit 123, and a data sort unit 124.

  When the administrator selects this document check plug-in 111 at the time of workflow setting (when it is selected to include the processing by this plug-in in the workflow processing to be defined), the condition setting unit 112 It is a functional part for setting. The additional data registration unit 113 is a functional unit for the administrator to register additional data such as cover data when setting a workflow. Condition information, cover data, and the like are stored in the workflow definition information holding unit 107. This stored information is used when the data adding unit 121 or the like executes processing.

  The fixed data registration unit 114 registers the fixed data used for determination at the time of data deletion and sorting in the same manner as the additional data registration unit 113. Since it is also used for sorting determination, the fixed form data is registered so that the order can be understood. The fixed form data is stored in the workflow definition information holding unit 107.

  The data type specifying unit 115 specifies a document data type in a fixed format such as “estimate” and “invoice”. The specific method may be performed, for example, when the distribution server 100 performs processing such as OCR or barcode reading using the processing plug-in 110. Further, it may be specified by ruled line analysis, embedding information extraction, or the like. When a workflow execution request is received from the MFP 14 or the user terminal 16, information specifying a fixed format is received and specified based on the information. You may do it. The data processing determination unit determines whether or not to execute processing of the data processing unit 120 such as addition, deletion, confirmation, and sorting based on the data type and the condition information set in the condition setting unit 112. Further, the data processing unit 120 is requested to execute processing based on the determination result.

  FIG. 4 shows a data configuration example of the condition information. The condition information is set as shown in FIG. 4 by the administrator accessing the distribution server 100 using the administrator terminal 15. The condition information is set for each data type as shown in the figure. The data type is not limited to units such as “estimate” and “invoice”, and additional processing is performed according to each of the two types of invoices such as “invoice 1” and “invoice 2” in “invoice”. You can also set condition information. The condition information is information in which conditions regarding the configuration of the fixed format document are set, the page data constituting the fixed format document is specified, and the order of the page data constituting the fixed format document is specified. Adding (inserting) fixed page data (page data used without being edited according to the user) that does not include page data other than the page data that constitutes a fixed format document, etc. Information set for the purpose.

  FIG. 5 shows the flow of the overall operation of this embodiment. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram focusing on the data flow. As shown in FIG. 5, the user performs processing such as inputting authentication information using an operation display unit such as an operation panel or a card reader, and performs login processing to the MFP 14 (S101). When the login of the user is permitted in the MFP 14, a prompt as to what application is used on the screen of the operation panel (the operation display unit such as a touch panel display of the user terminal when logging in from the user terminal 16) is displayed. Since it opens, the user selects (S102). The application that can be selected is an application that is installed in the MFP 14 or an application that can be executed using an apparatus such as a server connected via a network. The MFP 14 can select an application (for displaying a selection screen). Holds information. When the user selects “Distribution App” as a selection button for using the distribution application from the screen, the MFP 14 accesses the distribution server 100 together with the user ID of the authenticated user (S103).

  Next, a flow setting screen is transmitted from the distribution server 100 to the MFP 14 in response to the access (S104). The user uses the flow setting screen to select a workflow to be executed from one or more defined workflows (S105). Thereafter, various setting values are set as necessary for the workflow selected by the user, and when the “execute” button is pressed to instruct execution of the workflow (S106), the user loads the document on the document reading unit of the MFP. Scanning of the placed document (processing for reading the document by the scanner and generating image data) starts (S107).

  The MFP 14 transmits a workflow execution request related to the selected workflow together with the image data obtained by scanning the document to the distribution server 100 (S108). The distribution server 100 executes the workflow based on the received image data and the workflow execution request, and creates data (distribution data) to be distributed to the distribution destination (S109). The distribution server 100 transmits the generated distribution data to a distribution destination such as the file server 12 or the mail server 13 based on the received image data and workflow execution request (S110).

  Next, FIG. 6 shows a flow of processing executed by the document check plug-in 111 of the distribution server 100. As described above, each process in FIG. 6 includes the document check plug-in 111 defined as part or all of the workflow to be executed, and the document executed in S109 in FIG. This corresponds to the details of the processing of the check plug-in 111. First, the workflow control unit 101 receives a job acquired from the job queue holding unit 105 by the job acquisition unit 103, and the document check plug-in 111 receives a processing execution request from the workflow control unit 101, thereby checking the document. Processing of the plug-in 111 starts.

  Then, the data type specifying unit 115 of the document check plug-in 111 specifies the type of the document data of the input job (input data or processing data obtained by processing other input data from another plug-in) (S201). . For a particular method, an appropriate method can be selected from the various methods described above. If the data type specifying unit 115 cannot specify the type of document data, an error occurs.

  Next, the content of the data processing corresponding to the type specified by the data processing determination unit 116 is determined (S203). For the data processing to be executed, a condition and a processing content are set for each type and held as condition information (FIG. 4). If the identified type is, for example, “estimate”, the data processing determination unit 116 determines that the person who performs the data processing related to the “estimate”. If it cannot be determined, an error occurs.

  Based on the determination result, the data processing unit 120 executes data processing on the document data according to the conditions (S205 to S208, FIGS. 7 to 10). As shown in the figure, in either case, the processing is performed when it is confirmed whether or not a flag indicating whether or not to perform processing is set. Preferably, the deletion process, the sort process, the data (page) addition process, and the page number confirmation process can be performed in this order, but the process order can be changed by appropriately setting the condition information and data process. It is.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the data deletion unit 122. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the data sorting unit 124. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the data adding unit 121. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the processing flow of the data confirmation unit 123.

  In FIG. 7, first, a fixed format corresponding to the type is acquired (S205-1). The fixed format is registered in advance in the workflow definition information holding unit 107 by the fixed data registration unit 114 (first registration unit). Next, the standard format and the document data are collated (S205-2). Note that a known technique may be used as a matching method. For example, in a fixed format in which an input form is determined by a ruled line, it may be verified whether the structure of the ruled line matches, or a specific area. A specific format in which a specific keyword is input in advance (for example, the text “Estimate” is written in the area A on the first page of the standard format, and the text “Estimated content” is entered in the area B on the second page. In other words, a method may be used in which keywords for specific areas of the standard format and document data are collated. In other words, if the document data is created by editing a standard format document or form data and then input from an MFP or the like, the standard format and document data can be obtained by using features such as forms and keywords provided in the standard format. Can be verified. As a result of collation, if there is a page described in a format that does not match a predetermined standard format (if there is page data of document data that does not collate with any of the standard format data of each page constituting the standard format), The corresponding page is deleted (S205-4).

  Also in FIG. 8, first, a fixed format corresponding to the type is acquired (S206-1). Next, the standard format and the document data are collated (S206-2). As a result of the collation, the document data is sorted in the order of a predetermined fixed format (S206-3).

  In FIG. 9, first, additional data corresponding to the type is acquired (S207-1). The additional data is registered in the workflow definition information holding unit 107 by the additional data registration unit 113 (second registration unit). Next, the acquired data is added to the additional position set in the “addition process” of the condition information (S207-2). The data to be added is typically a cover page of an estimate, for example. If a cover page is registered, the top addition may be set as a condition. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. May be. In this process, whether or not to add additional data may be determined based on whether or not additional data already exists in the document data. In other words, the user may have forgotten to insert a cover page, etc., and input data may be created, or a cover page may already be included, and the input data already includes page data corresponding to the additional data. If additional data is added in this case, it will be duplicated. Therefore, after checking by such a determination, adding the additional data when it is not included further improves the convenience for the user. Specifically, each page data of the document data is collated with the additional data (the collation method may be the above-described method), and the presence / absence of page data corresponding to the additional data is determined. As a result of the determination, if it exists, it is determined whether or not the corresponding page data is at the position set in the “addition process” of the condition information. For example, if the head addition is set, it is determined whether the corresponding page data is the first page of the document data. If it is at the set position, the additional process flow of FIG. 9 ends. If it is not at the set position, the corresponding page data is moved to the set position, and the additional process flow ends. If the page data corresponding to the additional data does not exist in each page data of the document data, the additional processing flow is completed by adding the acquired additional data to the position set in the “addition processing” of the condition information To do.

  In FIG. 10, first, it is confirmed whether or not the number of pages matches the standard format. If they do not match, an error is returned (S208-2).

<Specific example>
FIG. 11 shows an example (part 1) of editing document data according to the present embodiment. The illustrated example is an example in the case of the condition “estimate” when the condition information as shown in FIG. 4 is set. Assume that the document data at the time of reception of S108 is document data consisting of five sheets. Of these, the third “sentence 3” is out of the standard format, and is therefore removed by the deletion process (document data after deletion process).

  Similarly, the sorting process is performed by collating the standard format with the document data (sorted document data). Here, the fourth document data “Sentence 4” is collated with the data “Standard 2” on the second page in the standard format, and the second document data “Sentence 2” is the data “3” on the third page in the standard format. The page order has been changed because it is collated with “3.” Further, additional data is added by the additional process (document data after the additional process). Since the addition position is the head of the document as specified in FIG. 4, document data after addition processing as shown in FIG. 11 is obtained.

  FIG. 12 shows a second example of editing document data according to the present embodiment. The illustrated example is an example in the case of the condition “Bill 2” when the condition information as shown in FIG. 4 is set. However, in this example, since the deletion process is “OFF”, document data other than the standard format (third document data “sentence 3”) is not deleted and remains. However, corresponding page data is handled as a group of corresponding data by collation with a fixed format, and additional data addition processing is added at an additional position with respect to the corresponding data. Then, document data other than the standard format (third document data “sentence 3”) is handled as subsequent page data.

  If all pages of the document data are not created in the standard format, by leaving such pages, for example, in addition to input data such as manuscripts created using the standard format, any comment It is possible to appropriately cope with usage such as wanting to keep the input data describing.

<Second Embodiment>
In the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described embodiment, pre-processing is performed for specifying the type of document data, and the specification is performed from the result of the pre-processing. We will also explain the new execution result.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of the workflow of this embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, preprocessing such as OCR processing, barcode processing, and embedded data extraction processing is performed, and the check by the document check plug-in 111 as described in the above embodiment is performed. A workflow for performing distribution processing is performed. Preprocessing and distribution processing are performed by various processing plug-ins 110. Such a plug-in is called a preprocessing unit and a distribution unit.

  Other pre-processing includes data division processing using a data division plug-in. The data division plug-in has a function for setting a predetermined page division (for example, “divide every three pages”) and a function for actually dividing data according to this setting.

  As shown in FIG. 13, there are several pre-processes for specifying the data type, and in addition to those shown in the figure, pre-processes specified from a designated workflow may be used. For example, in the workflow selection screen on the operation panel of the MFP 14 (S105), workflows defined by workflow names such as “estimate”, “invoice 1”, and “invoice 2” are listed. In this case, the type is specified from the workflow selected by the user.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of workflow and an example of editing document data. In FIG. 14, the data division processing using the above-described data division plug-in and the OCR processing using the OCR plug-in are set in the workflow as pre-processing. When the distribution server 100 receives the document data, the data of 6 pages is divided into the previous 3 pages and the subsequent 3 pages by the data division processing set to divide every 3 pages.

  Next, by OCR processing, it is specified that the types of document data are “Bill 1” and “Bill 2”. Thereafter, the document check by the document check plug-in 111 is performed on each of the previous document data and the subsequent document data. Distribution data created based on these processes is treated as document data of “estimate 1” and document data of “estimate 2”, respectively, and the processing plug-in 110 that executes the distribution process responds to each estimate. The distribution data is transmitted (distributed) to the distribution destination. In the example of FIG. 14, the respective document data is distributed to the “estimate 1” data folder and the “estimate 2” data folder set in the file server 12.

<Action and effect>
According to the technical idea disclosed in the above embodiment, even if the received document data is not well-formed or incomplete as a business document, the document data type is specified and Since the check is performed so that the document is suitable for the type, it can be said that it is possible to automatically distribute the business document in an appropriate format.

  In particular, according to the above embodiment, the user does not need to check the arrangement order of documents. There is no need to be aware of the order of documents to be read by the MFP 14. Moreover, it is not necessary to remove even if an extra page is sandwiched between documents. In addition, a cover is automatically added.
