Next, the terminal output unit 34 outputs the information received by the terminal receiving unit 33.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information system in the present embodiment will be described. A conceptual diagram of the information system is shown in FIG.

  Assume that the storage unit 11 stores the tables shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. These tables are a kind of business information, and can be called accounting information or financial information. The table in FIG. 4 is a sales breakdown by product for each customer, and the table in FIG. 5 is a customer ledger.

  The storage unit 11 stores the output preprocessing information management table shown in FIG. The output preprocessing information management table stores one or more records having “ID”, “output destination candidate identifier”, “output destination information”, “authentication method identifier”, and “processing identifier”. “Output destination information” is information indicating a destination to which information is output, and is information used for outputting information.

  In this situation, it is assumed that the user has input a display instruction including the information identifier of the customer ledger to the information processing apparatus 1. Next, the reception unit 12 receives the display instruction.

  Next, the output unit 14 acquires the customer ledger corresponding to the display instruction from the storage unit 11 and displays it on the display. The current table has become the customer ledger by accepting the display instruction.

  Next, it is assumed that the user inputs a menu screen output instruction to output the customer ledger. Then, the accepting unit 12 accepts a menu screen output instruction.

  Next, the output unit 14 acquires two or more output destination candidate identifiers from the output preprocessing information management table shown in FIG. Next, the output unit 14 configures a menu screen using the acquired two or more output destination candidate identifiers. The output unit 14 outputs the configured menu screen (see FIG. 7).

  Hereinafter, in this situation, specific operations of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described using the following three specific examples.

(Specific example 1)
Specific example 1 is a case where information is transmitted to server device 2. When information is transmitted to the server device 2, it may be considered that information is uploaded to the server device 2. The server device 2 may be a server device on a so-called cloud.

  In the first specific example, it is assumed that the user first selects “Send to Server” from the menu screen 71 of FIG. 7 and presses the “Start Output” button 72. Then, the accepting unit 12 accepts an output instruction having an output destination candidate identifier “send to server device” and a current information identifier “customer ledger”. The selected output destination candidate identifier is information indicating the type of output destination.

  Next, the output unit 14 tries to acquire the processing identifier paired with the output destination candidate identifier “transmit to server device” from the output preprocessing information management table, but cannot acquire it.

  Next, the output unit 14 acquires an authentication method identifier “ID · PW” paired with the output destination candidate identifier “send to server device”.

  Then, the authentication unit 13 displays an authentication screen corresponding to the authentication method identifier “ID · PW”. An example of this screen is shown in FIG.

  Next, the user inputs information necessary for authentication on the authentication screen of FIG. Then, the user presses an “OK” button 81 on the authentication screen of FIG.

  Next, the authentication unit 13 receives information necessary for authentication and pressing of the “OK” button 81 and performs processing necessary for authentication. Here, the process necessary for authentication is, for example, a process of transmitting information necessary for authentication to the server apparatus 2. It is assumed that the output unit 14 has acquired the output destination information “191.206.76.54” corresponding to the output destination candidate identifier “send to server”. Here, the output destination information is the IP address of the server apparatus 2 that is the output destination.

  Next, it is assumed that the authentication unit 13 receives an authentication permission authentication result from the server device 2 in accordance with the processing necessary for the authentication.

  Next, the output unit 14 determines that the acquired authentication result is authentication permission.

  Then, the output unit 14 transmits information “customer ledger” to the server device 2 using the acquired output destination information.

  Next, the server reception unit 22 of the server device 2 receives the information “customer ledger” from the information processing device 1. The server storage unit 23 stores the information “customer ledger” received by the server reception unit 22 in the server storage unit 21.

  At a later date, for example, the user accesses the server device 2 from the outside using the mobile terminal device 3 and acquires the information “customer ledger”. Since this information acquisition process is a known technique, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  In the first specific example, a folder for uploading information may be specified in the recording medium of the server device 2 (see 91 in FIG. 9). Further, FIG. 9 shows an example of the screen transition of the operation of the specific example 1.

(Specific example 2)
Specific example 2 is a case where information is stored in a local disk.

  In the second specific example, first, it is assumed that the user selects “store in local disk” from the menu screen 71 of FIG. 7 and presses the “output start” button 72. Then, the accepting unit 12 accepts an output instruction having the output destination candidate identifier “store in local disk” and the current information identifier “customer ledger”.

  Next, the output unit 14 acquires the processing identifier “PDF” that is paired with the output destination candidate identifier “store in local disk” from the output preprocessing information management table.

  Then, the processing unit 15 executes the process “PDF” corresponding to the process identifier on the information “customer ledger”, and acquires post-processing information that is the “customer ledger” converted to PDF.

  Next, the output unit 14 tries to acquire an authentication method identifier paired with the output destination candidate identifier “store in local disk”, but cannot acquire it.

  Next, the output unit 14 tries to acquire output destination information corresponding to the output destination candidate identifier “store in local disk” but cannot acquire it. Then, the output unit 14 outputs a screen for inquiring the user about a folder for storing post-processing information. Then, post-processing information is stored in a folder designated by the user.

  As described above, in the second specific example, when information is stored in the local disk, authentication processing is not performed.

(Specific example 3)
Specific example 3 is a case where information is transmitted by mail.

  In Specific Example 3, it is assumed that the user first selects “mail transmission” from the menu screen 71 of FIG. 7 and presses the “output start” button 72. Then, the reception unit 12 receives an output instruction having an output destination candidate identifier “mail transmission” and a current information identifier “customer ledger”. The selected output destination candidate identifier is information indicating the type of output destination.

  Next, the output unit 14 acquires the processing identifiers “PDF” and “encryption” paired with the output destination candidate identifier “mail transmission” from the output preprocessing information management table.

  Then, the processing unit 15 executes the process “PDF” corresponding to the process identifier on the information “customer ledger”. Further, the processing unit 15 encrypts the customer ledger converted to PDF. Then, the processing unit 15 acquires post-processing information of the “customer ledger”.

  Next, the output unit 14 tries to acquire an authentication method identifier paired with the output destination candidate identifier “mail transmission”, but cannot acquire it.

  Next, the output unit 14 acquires output destination information “aaa@xx.com” corresponding to the output destination candidate identifier “mail transmission”. Then, the output unit 14 passes the post-processing information and the output destination information “aaa@xx.com” to a mailer (not shown). In addition, the software which implement | achieves a mailer shall be stored in the storage part 11, for example.

  And a user transmits mail using a mailer. Note that post-processing information is attached as an attached file to the mail to be transmitted. In addition, the transmission destination address “aaa@xx.com” has already been input (see FIG. 10).

  In Specific Example 3, the processing unit 15 indicates that two or more processes are possible. In the specific example 3, the mail address indicating the transmission destination is automatically acquired. However, the mail address may not be automatically acquired.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when there are two or more types of output destination candidates, the authentication process is performed according to the type of the output destination. Security can be secured.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when there are two or more types of output destination candidates for information, the information can be output after processing the information according to the type of the output destination.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since one type of output destination can be selected from a plurality of types of output destination types using a single menu screen, an appropriate one according to the type of output destination can be selected. Security can be secured easily.

  Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to realize business information handling processing using an information-type work style.

  Note that the processing in the present embodiment may be realized by software. Then, this software may be distributed by software download or the like. Further, this software may be recorded and distributed on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. This also applies to other embodiments in this specification.
