<First Embodiment>
[System overall configuration]
First, a software service system 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 shows an example of the overall configuration of a software service system 1 according to an embodiment.

  In the software service system 1, tenant A, tenant B, and tenant C are connected to the server 10 via a network 30 such as the Internet. The user terminals 20a to 20c of the tenant A, the user terminals 20d to 20f of the tenant B, and the user terminals 20g to 20i of the tenant C (hereinafter, the user terminals 20a to 20i are collectively referred to as “user terminal 20”) The execution request for the software selected by the user is transmitted to the server 10. The server 10 executes the software selected according to the execution request. The user terminal 20 receives the execution result of the process by the server 10.

  Tenant A, tenant B, and tenant C are examples of users who use the software service system 1. The software service system 1 can execute different processes for each user with one resource. This “per user” may be a tenant unit, an individual user unit belonging to each tenant, or the entire tenant A to C.

  The number of tenants in FIG. 1 is an example, and is not limited to this. The user who uses the software service system 1 may be, for example, a person in charge in a call center, a company employee, or a member of another group. In the software service system 1, the execution process is divided for each unit of users who use the system using the server 10, and the execution result of one or a plurality of functional units selected by each user is provided.

  The processing target software executed by the server 10 for each user includes a common processing target capable of executing common processing and an additional processing target capable of executing additional processing. The additional processing target includes an additional processing step capable of acquiring an execution result different from the execution result of the common processing target. The server 10 includes the additional processing target selected by the user terminal 20 from the plurality of additional processing targets in the processing target software. The server 10 executes additional processing without changing software resources among a plurality of common processing executed while sequentially interpreting, and provides the execution result to the user online.

  The server 10 can be realized, for example, in the form of a cloud computing service. The server 10 transmits the execution result of the processing target software to the user terminal 20 in the tenant via a network such as the Internet. The server 10 is an example of an information processing apparatus that executes processing steps included in a processing target.

  When a plurality of additional processing targets are selected by the user, the server 10 determines whether the processing executed by combining the plurality of additional processing targets ends normally based on a predetermined condition such as a prohibition condition before executing the actual processing. It is necessary to judge.

[One resource]
In the software service system 1 according to the present embodiment, software managed by the software service system 1 is one resource. In the present embodiment, customization is possible for each tenant by executing additional processing for each tenant for at least one of the data, screen, and processing shown in FIG. 2 without changing resources. Thereby, in this embodiment, the process A, the process B, and the process C which are different in the tenant A, the tenant B, and the tenant C can be executed. Process A, process B, and process C may include a common process. In the following, an information processing method and system according to the present embodiment that executes an additional process without changing resources among a plurality of common processes will be described.

[Common processing and additional processing]
Processing targets executed by the server 10 include common processing targets and additional processing targets. The software service system 1 according to the present embodiment provides a program group for executing standard business processing as a common processing target. As an example of the common processing target, “save processing” shown in FIG. The “save process” is an example of a standard business process for saving data, and here includes input check and data update process steps. For example, when the call center in the tenant A requests execution of the “save process”, the server 10 executes a process for saving the data of the case for which an inquiry has been made to the call center, and transmits the execution result to the user terminal 20 in the call center.

  The software service system 1 according to the present embodiment provides a program group for executing an additional process added to a standard job as an additional process target. Hereinafter, the program to be added is also referred to as “additional unit”. An example of the additional unit stored in the unit information DB 16 of FIG. 5 described later is shown in FIG. For example, when the common process is “save process” and the user terminal 20 selects two additional units of “temporary save unit” and “online notification unit”, “temporary save process” and “online Notification processing "is executed. The additional processing executed by the “temporary storage unit” is processing for temporarily storing a DB and files. The additional process executed by the “online notification unit” is a process for sending an e-mail when the stored data exceeds a predetermined threshold.

  For example, when the user presses the “save” button S displayed on the screen of the user terminal 20 shown on the left side of FIG. 3, the server 10 sequentially performs the save process as an example of the common process target in order from step 1. Execute while interpreting. In the common process, a socket for enabling an additional process is set in advance. 3, the socket 1 is provided between step 5 and step 6, the socket 2 is provided between step 10 and step 11, and the socket 3 is provided between step 15 and step 16. Yes. For these sockets, a class (software that can generate an object as an instance) for executing additional processing is inserted so that a predetermined additional processing processing step can be executed at a portion where the socket exists between common processing steps. A virtual outlet is shown. That is, the server 10 executes a processing step that calls an additional process when the socket position is reached while executing a plurality of common processing steps while sequentially interpreting the plurality of common processing steps. When there is an additional processing target to be executed, the server 10 executes an additional processing step included in the additional processing target. If there is no additional process to be executed, the server 10 executes the subsequent common processing steps and thereafter. One or more sockets are provided in the common processing target.

  Additional processing targets are managed in units of additional units. The additional unit is a class composed of one or a plurality of class pools. The class pool is a process (load module) that can be inserted into the common process target, and is read when the application of the user terminal 20 is activated.

  The user terminal 20 defines which additional unit (class) is added to which socket for each functional unit. That is, the user terminal 20 generates the definition information of each functional unit that defines the execution procedure of the common process and the additional process by defining what additional unit is inserted into which socket provided for the common process target. To do.

  The additional unit selection operation can be set using a GUI by a user or administrator (hereinafter simply referred to as “user”) touch operation on the unit setting screen of the user terminal 20. For example, when the user terminal 20 selects “temporary storage unit”, the processing of the temporary storage unit (class 1) is added to the socket 1, nothing is added to the socket 2, and the online notification unit ( Definition information of the functional unit 1 to which the class 2) is added is generated. As described above, when the user terminal 20 selects the additional unit of “temporary storage unit”, the additional unit of “online notification unit” may be automatically inserted into the socket 3. When generating the definition information of the functional unit 1, it is determined before the actual process execution whether the process executed by adding the additional unit ends normally based on a predetermined condition such as a prohibition condition. Execution procedure definition information is adopted. For example, if an additional unit is executed in socket 1, the process ends normally, but if an additional unit is executed in socket 2, the process ends abnormally. Defined in information.

  In this way, an optional process in one resource can be executed by providing a socket between common processing steps and inserting a class for executing an additional process in the socket.

  Similarly, when the user selects two additional units, the user terminal 20 defines functional units. For example, in function unit 2, nothing is added to socket 1 for the two selected additional units, class 3 additional processing is inserted into socket 2, and class 4 additional processing is inserted into socket 3. Definition information is defined so as to be inserted.

  When generating functional unit definition information, it is determined whether the processing executed by combining two or more pieces of software ends normally based on a predetermined condition such as a prohibition condition before the actual processing is executed, and the processing ends normally. Use execution procedure definition information.

  For example, when “temporary storage unit” and “online notification unit” are selected, an execution procedure corresponding to the mutual relationship between these two additional units is defined based on predetermined condition information such as prohibition. For example, there is an interrelationship between these two additional units in which the online notification unit process is executed after the temporary storage unit process. In addition, the “temporary storage unit” and the “storage process” have a mutual relationship that the input check of the storage process after the process of the temporary storage unit is skipped. Temporarily stored data is a state where data is temporarily saved, and there may be a state where there is no data in required input items, so it is not a normal process to check input to temporarily stored data Because.

  For a plurality of additional processing targets, the execution procedure of the additional processing steps (corresponding to the first additional processing step and the second additional processing step) included in each additional processing target ends normally based on predetermined condition information. Is determined. Further, it is determined whether or not the execution procedure of the additional processing target additional processing step and the common processing target common processing step is normally terminated based on one or a plurality of predetermined condition information. In the definition information of each functional unit, a procedure that is determined that the execution procedure of each processing target ends normally is defined. Definition information is generated for each tenant and stored in the server 10. The definition information may be stored in another storage device on the cloud computing, or may be stored in any storage device in the software service system 1 according to the present embodiment.

  As a result, the server 10 according to the present embodiment executes the additional processing step without changing the resource while executing the processing while sequentially interpreting the common processing step based on the definition information that defines the execution procedure that operates normally. can do.

  The server 1 provides the execution result to a specific user according to the user attribute information. For example, if the user attribute information is tenant A, the execution result is transmitted to user terminals 20 belonging to tenant A.

  In this embodiment, an example in which the definition information is defined for each tenant will be described. However, the definition information may be defined for each user in the tenant, and the definition information may be defined for each user in the tenant. It may be defined for each group when it is divided into predetermined groups.

[Functional configuration of user terminal and server]
Next, an example of functional configurations of the user terminal 20 and the server 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 shows an example of functional configurations of the user terminal 20 and the server 10 according to an embodiment.

  The user terminal 20 includes a communication unit 21, a definition information generation unit 22, a display unit 23, a selection unit 24, and an execution request unit 25. The definition information generation unit 22 generates definition information that defines the execution procedure of the common process and the additional process according to the additional process target (additional unit) selected by the user.

  For example, when “temporary storage unit” and “counting unit” are selected from the additional units selected by the user, for example, the definition information shown in the functional units 1 and 2 in FIG. 3 is generated. That is, the definition information for inserting the class 1 for executing the temporary storage unit addition processing step into the socket 1 and the class 2 for executing the online notification unit addition processing step into the socket 3 is generated. Thereby, the generation of the definition information of the functional unit 1 is completed.

  In addition, the definition information for automatically inserting the class 4 for executing the additional processing step related to the aggregation unit into the socket 3 is generated while the class 3 for executing the additional processing step of the aggregation unit is inserted into the socket 2. Thereby, the generation of the definition information of the functional unit 2 is completed. In this way, the function unit definition information generated from the additional unit selected by the user may be one or plural.

  In the generation of definition information, a socket position into which additional processing is inserted is determined based on predetermined condition information such as a prohibition condition. For example, it is assumed that an additional process for totalizing the number of products in the warehouse is performed by the “totaling unit”, and an additional process for temporarily storing the products in the warehouse is performed by the “temporary storage unit”. In this case, after the “temporary storage unit” addition process is executed in socket 1, when the “aggregation unit” addition process is executed, the temporarily stored product is subtracted from the total number of products in the warehouse. It is necessary to calculate the total results.

  The definition information generation unit 22 performs the execution procedure of each additional unit so that the combined processing is normally performed due to the mutual relationship of the plurality of additional units with respect to the combination of the plurality of additional units that need the combined processing. Generate the definition information shown.

  The display unit 23 displays a unit setting screen on the user terminal 20. The selection unit 24 selects one or more additional units by touching the unit setting screen. The execution request unit 25 requests the server 10 to execute a processing target based on the generated definition information.

  The communication unit 21 transmits a processing target execution request from the execution request unit 25 to the server 10 and receives a processing target processing result executed by the server 10 in response to the request. The definition information included in the processing target execution request transmitted by the communication unit 21 is stored in the definition information DB (database) 15 of the server 10.

  The server 10 includes a communication unit 11, a processing execution unit 12, a calling unit 13, a display control unit 14, a definition information DB 15, and a unit information DB 16.

  The communication unit 11 communicates with the user terminal 20 of each tenant, receives the processing target execution request transmitted from the user terminal 20, and transmits the processing target processing result executed by the server 10 to the request. The display control unit 14 performs control so that the unit setting screen is displayed on the user terminal 20 in the tenant by, for example, a web browser.

  The process execution unit 12 executes each process step of the common process and the additional process based on the definition information stored in the definition information DB 15 in response to an execution request to be processed. When the process execution unit 12 executes the common process steps included in the common process target up to the socket position, the calling unit 13 calls an additional process. The additional processing can be performed one or more times between multiple common processing steps.

  Execution of the processing target by the processing execution unit 12 and the calling unit 13 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 3, the process execution unit 12 executes steps 1 to 5 of the “save process” that is the common process target. Next, the calling unit 13 acquires specific definition information from the definition information DB 15 in the step of the socket 1 and calls an additional unit (class) to be inserted into the socket 1. When there is an additional unit to be inserted into the socket 1, the process execution unit 12 executes an additional processing step of the inserted additional unit (class 1). For example, “temporary storage processing” is executed as additional processing inserted into the unit 1.

  Next, the process execution unit 12 returns to the common process target and executes step 6. In the input check process executed in steps 6 to 10, input check is performed on items that must be input from the stored data. Since the temporarily stored data is not subject to input check, the definition information of the functional unit 1 defines that the input check in step 6 to step 10 is not performed on the temporarily stored data. In accordance with this, the process execution unit 12 skips the common process of step 6 to step 10.

  Next, the calling unit 13 calls an additional unit to be inserted into the socket 2 based on the acquired definition information. If there is no additional unit to be inserted into the socket 2, the process execution unit 12 returns to the common process target step and executes the data update process of steps 11 to 15.

  Next, the calling unit 13 calls an additional unit to be inserted into the socket 3 based on the acquired definition information. When there is an additional unit to be inserted into the socket 3, the process execution unit 12 executes an additional processing step for the inserted additional unit (class 3). For example, an “online notification unit” is executed as an additional process inserted into the unit 1.

  Next, the process execution unit 12 returns to the common process target step, executes the processes of Steps 16 to 18, and ends this process.

[User terminal processing]
Next, user terminal side processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of user terminal side processing according to the embodiment.

  First, the display unit 23 displays a unit setting screen on the user terminal 20 (step S10). On the unit setting screen, items of additional units stored in the unit information DB 16 are displayed so as to be selectable.

  Next, the selection unit 24 determines whether an additional unit to be added is selected by the user's screen operation (step S12). The selection unit 24 repeats the process of step S12 until it is determined that an additional unit has been selected.

  When it is determined that the additional unit has been selected by the selection unit 24, the definition information generation unit 22 generates definition information indicating an execution procedure to be processed according to the selected additional unit based on a predetermined condition (step S14). ).

  Next, the definition information generation unit 22 determines whether or not the processing target including the additional processing is normally terminated by the generated execution procedure (Step S16). The definition information generation unit 22 defines the execution procedure determined to end normally as functional unit definition information.

  Next, the execution request unit 25 generates execution request information for additional processing based on the defined execution procedure (step S18). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 7, the execution request unit 25 generates execution request information including user attribute information 81, an execution procedure (definition information) 82, a common processing target 83, and an additional processing target 84. The attribute information 81 indicates the subject of the execution request. For example, in FIG. 7, based on the execution procedure defined in “functional unit 1”, the processing targets indicated by the common processing target 83 and the additional processing target 84 are executed, and the execution result is sent to the user terminals 20 belonging to “tenant A”. Is provided. Thereby, an additional process can be set for each subject set in the attribute information 81.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the notification unit 21 transmits the execution request information 80 to the server 10 and notifies the execution request to be processed included in the execution request information 80 (step S <b> 20). Thereby, the server 10 executes each processing step of the common processing target and the additional processing target based on the execution procedure 82 included in the execution request information 80. For example, when the common processing target is “save processing”, the server 10 executes the “temporary storage unit” addition processing step in the socket 1 of FIG. 3 and the “online notification unit” addition processing step in the socket 3. Execute. The communication part 21 acquires the execution result by the server 10 (step S22). The execution result by the server 10 is transmitted to the user terminals 20 belonging to “tenant A”.

[Server-side processing]
Next, server-side processing according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of server-side processing according to an embodiment.

  First, the communication unit 11 receives an execution request transmitted from the user terminal 20, and acquires execution request information 80 (step S50). The execution request information 80 is stored in the definition information DB 15. Next, the process execution part 12 performs the process step of a common process (step S52). First, the process execution unit 12 sequentially processes the process steps to be processed.

  FIG. 9 shows the execution process of the processing target. In the common processing, a plurality of common processing steps are sequentially executed in the order of display processing (image definition) → business processing 1 → business processing 2 → business processing 3. There are one or more sockets between common processing steps.

  Returning to FIG. 8, while the process execution unit 12 executes the common process step, the calling unit 13 determines whether there is a socket (step S54). When the execution process of the common process step proceeds to the socket position, the calling unit 13 determines that there is a socket and calls an additional process. That is, the calling unit 13 determines whether an additional unit to be executed at the socket position is defined based on the definition information of the specific functional unit stored in the definition information DB 15 (step S56). When it is determined by the calling unit 13 that an additional unit is defined, the process executing unit 12 executes an additional process step for the defined additional unit (step S58) and determines whether there is a next step. (Step S60).

  If it is determined in step S54 that there is no socket, or if it is determined in step S56 that no additional unit is defined, the process execution unit 12 determines whether there is a next step ( Step S60).

  For example, in the definition information of the functional unit 1 in FIG. 9, after a predetermined common processing step is executed at the position of the socket 1, an additional unit (class 1) around the screen is inserted into the socket 1 to add the screen periphery. A unit addition processing step is executed. Thereafter, the next common processing step is executed. When the execution of the display process shown in FIG. 9 ends, the common process step of the next business process 1 is executed. Similarly, it is determined whether an additional unit to be executed at the socket position is defined in the functional unit defined in the definition information DB 15 at the socket 2 position. The additional unit executed at the position of the socket 2 is not defined in the definition information of the functional unit 1. Therefore, the next common processing step is executed. In this way, by repeating steps S52 to S60 of FIG. 8, an additional processing step is executed at a predetermined socket position based on the definition information while the common processing steps shown in FIG. 9 are sequentially executed.

  If it is determined in step S60 of FIG. 8 that there is no next step, the communication unit 11 notifies the execution result of the process to the user terminal 20 (step S62), and the process ends.

  As described above, according to the software service system 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to insert a processing step that is an additional processing target between processing steps that are a common processing target and execute the processing step. That is, the additional processing step can be executed without changing the resource among the plurality of common processing steps executed while sequentially interpreting. As a result, by performing different processing for each user with one resource, operation and management in the software service system 1 are facilitated, and software services can be provided efficiently.
