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

FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram in the embodiment of the present invention.
In the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention, an electronic terminal 101 and a server 102 are communicably connected to each other via a network 103.

  The electronic terminal 101 is a terminal operated by the user. The embodiment of the present invention is an information processing apparatus provided with a touch panel type display. For example, a tablet PC, a smartphone, etc. correspond. Further, it is assumed that an imaging device (such as a built-in camera) that captures an image and a recording device (such as a built-in microphone) that records sound are provided. In addition, it is assumed that a GPS function for specifying the current position is also provided.

The server 102 is a device having a function of registering electronic data (electronic documents, image data, audio data, and the like) transmitted from the electronic terminal 101 in a database.
The network 103 is a communication line, and may be, for example, the Internet or an intranet, or wired or wireless.

FIG. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram in the embodiment of the present invention.
It is a block diagram which shows the hardware constitutions of the information processing apparatus applicable to the electronic terminal 101 and the server 102 which were shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 2, reference numeral 201 denotes a CPU, which centrally controls devices and controllers connected to the system bus 204. Further, the ROM 202 or the external memory 211 is required to realize a BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) which is a control program of the CPU 201, an operating system program (hereinafter referred to as OS), and functions executed by each server or each PC. The various programs described later are stored.

  A RAM 203 functions as a main memory, a work area, and the like of the CPU 201. The CPU 201 loads a program and the like necessary for execution of processing from the ROM 202 or the external memory 211 to the RAM 203, and implements the various operations by executing the loaded program.

  An input controller 205 controls input from a keyboard (KB) 209 and a pointing device such as a mouse (not shown). A video controller 206 controls display on a display such as a CRT display (CRT) 210 or the like. Although FIG. 2 describes the CRT 210, the display may be not only a CRT but also another display such as a liquid crystal display. These are used by the administrator as needed.

  A memory controller 207 is an external storage device (hard disk (HD)) for storing a boot program, various applications, font data, user files, editing files, various data, etc., a flexible disk (FD), or a PCMCIA card slot. It controls access to external memory 211 such as Compact Flash (registered trademark) memory connected via an adapter.

  A communication I / F controller 208 connects and communicates with an external device via a network (for example, the LAN 400 shown in FIG. 1), and executes communication control processing in the network. For example, communication using TCP / IP is possible.

  The CPU 201 enables display on the CRT 210 by executing, for example, outline font rasterization processing on a display information area in the RAM 203. Further, the CPU 201 enables user's instruction with a mouse cursor (not shown) on the CRT 210 or the like.

  Various programs to be described later for realizing the present invention are stored in the external memory 211, and are executed by the CPU 201 by being loaded into the RAM 203 as necessary. Furthermore, definition files and various information tables used at the time of execution of the program are also stored in the external memory 211, and a detailed description of these will be described later.

  Next, the transition of the screen of the signature input in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the transition of the screen of the signature input in the embodiment of the present invention.

  The electronic document shown in FIG. 3 is an example of a check sheet in which a service person who repairs a device such as a multi-functional peripheral inspects a device at a customer site and the customer confirms the inspection result. This service case is a use case in which a serviceman inputs the inspection result into a check sheet, and after having the customer confirm the check sheet, the customer is asked the electronic document to sign the confirmation of the check sheet.

  First, the serviceman inputs the check result to the check slip via the electronic terminal provided with the touch panel type display, and then the customer confirms the contents. Then, after obtaining confirmation by the customer that there is no problem with the content, (1) the signature area in the check slip is tapped (the tap operation may be either a service person or a customer). (2) In response to the tap, the signature area is enlarged to facilitate entry of the signature. (3) The customer performs a signature on the enlarged signature area by a touch operation with a finger. (4) When an instruction indicating completion of signature input (such as pressing a save button) is given, the enlarged screen is switched to a screen for displaying the electronic document, and the input signature size is adjusted and reflected in the signature area It will be displayed.

As described above, when the customer enters the signature, the signature area for temporarily inputting the signature is enlarged and displayed, so that even the signature by the touch operation by the finger can be easily entered.
The transition of the screen of the signature input in the embodiment of the present invention has been described above.

  Next, the flow of processing for signature input will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of signature input in the first embodiment of the present invention.

  The process of FIG. 4 is a process executed by the electronic terminal 101. Further, it is assumed that the user (service person) who performs the operation performs the operation in a state where one or more electronic documents are stored in the internal memory or the like. Also, this electronic document may be in any file format, but at least contains (or defines) information (coordinate information, rectangle information, etc.) for specifying an area where a signature is to be entered (to a customer). Should be

  First, the user operates the electronic terminal, activates an application capable of performing an editing operation on the electronic document, and designates an arbitrary electronic document from the list of electronic documents.

  In step S401, the electronic terminal performs a process of causing the designated electronic document to be displayed on a touch panel type display (display area) in accordance with the user's operation. The electronic document is displayed in a display area for displaying the electronic document in the display screen of the application. In addition, it is assumed that the display screen of the application further includes an area in which an edit menu, various operation buttons, and the like are arranged.

  In step S402, the electronic terminal receives an editing instruction for the electronic document in accordance with the user's operation. Here, the editing is performed on an area other than the signature area. For example, there is an editing operation of marking a failure part on the device illustration in the check sheet or putting a check mark in the check box. After the editing operation is completed, the service person performing the operation has the customer confirm the contents of the check sheet. Then, if there is no problem, tap operation is performed on the signature area to have the signature entered in the signature field. The tap operation refers to an operation of touching an arbitrary area displayed on the touch panel type display with a finger.

  In step S403, the electronic terminal detects that the signature area set on the electronic document displayed in the display area is selected by the user's tap operation. Here, it is detected whether a tap operation has been performed on the signature area, using information on the signature area included in the electronic document. This tap operation is also an instruction that the user inputs a signature from now.

In step S404, the electronic terminal enlarges the signature area and displays it on the display in response to the selection of the signature area. For example, the entire display area of the application is displayed as a signature area, or the signature area is enlarged and displayed on another screen, or the like, and the signature area is largely displayed on the display so that the user can easily enter a signature. When signing with a finger on a touch panel type display, it is more difficult to input finely than when signing with a writing instrument etc. Therefore, temporarily displaying a large signature area enables finger input It is because even if it becomes possible to enter a signature easily. The display screen includes a save button, an end button, and the like.
In step S405, the electronic terminal receives an input of a signature.

  In step S406, the electronic terminal receives an instruction indicating that the input of the signature is completed. For example, it can be determined that an instruction to end the input of the signature has been issued by pressing the save button or the like.

  In step S407, the electronic terminal performs processing of generating and storing image data (signature image data) of the input signature. Here, signature image data having a resolution according to the enlarged display area is generated and stored. For example, if the enlarged signature area is an area of 1024 × 768 pixels, signature image data is generated and stored as image data of 1024 × 768 pixels. By storing the high-resolution signature image data as described above, the accuracy of the signature image is improved, and the value as a signature (the evidence of the handwriting) is also improved. Note that various formats can be adopted as the format of the signature image data, and examples thereof include gif and Jpeg. Furthermore, as information for specifying the signature time, the signature time may be acquired from the built-in clock of the electronic terminal, or the position information of the signature location may be acquired using the GPS function. In that case, the date and time information and the position information may be managed by a data table on the server side, or may be stored together with the image information as Exif information.

  In step S408, the electronic terminal receives an instruction to end the enlarged display of the signature area. For example, when the end button or the like is pressed, it can be determined that an instruction to end the enlarged display of the signature area has been issued.

  In step S409, the electronic terminal ends the display of the signature area and displays the electronic document in the display area. Here, in the signature area set on the electronic document, the size of the signature image data stored in step S407 is adjusted to a size that can be arranged in the signature area, and the adjusted signature image data is arranged in the signature area. . Although the signature image data is displayed in a reduced size, a highly accurate signature is displayed in a reduced size. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a signature with more evidence capability than when directly signing a small signature area.

  In step S410, the electronic terminal receives an instruction to register the electronic document in accordance with the user's operation. For example, when a registration button or the like arranged in the display screen of the application is pressed, it can be determined that an instruction to register the electronic document has been issued. In the embodiment of the present invention, the instruction to register is an instruction to register the electronic document in the database managed by the server 102 via the network. In addition, not the embodiment transmitted to the server but the embodiment registered in the internal memory of the electronic terminal may be used.

In step S411, the electronic terminal transmits, to the server, the electronic document and the signature image data, and instructs the server to associate the respective data and register the data in the database.
The flow of the signature input in the first embodiment of the present invention has been described above.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of signature input in the second embodiment of the present invention.

  The process of FIG. 5 is a process performed in the electronic terminal 101. Further, the same processing as that of FIG. 4 is assigned the same step number, and the description thereof is omitted.

  In step S501, when it is detected that the signature area set on the electronic document displayed in the display area has been selected by the user's tap operation, the electronic terminal uses the recording device to make a voice. Start the recording process. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the customer is asked to sign the check sheet, it is possible to use, for example, recording a voice to the effect that the customer has verbally agreed to sign. Therefore, as compared with the case where only the signature image data is recorded, the evidence can be further enhanced (impersonation can be prevented).

Also, for risk products, when the present invention is applied to the field of finance where legally obligatory accountability is imposed, it is possible to simultaneously record a voice explaining the product by the store clerk and a voice to the effect of the customer's consent. , This recording function will be more effective function.
In step S502, when the signature image data is generated, the electronic terminal terminates the recording process, generates sound data, and temporarily stores the sound data in the internal memory.

In step S503, when the electronic terminal receives an instruction to end the enlarged display of the signature area, the electronic terminal performs processing for capturing a picture of the user who is performing the signature using the imaging device. Then, image data of the picture is generated. In the embodiment of the present invention, since the customer is asked to sign the check sheet, it is possible, for example, to record the signer's photo to prove whether the customer has actually made the signature. become. Therefore, as compared with the case where only the signature image data is recorded, the evidence can be further enhanced (impersonation can be prevented). Further, since it is sufficient if the photograph of the signer can be photographed, the timing of photographing may be, for example, during the input of the signature or after the instruction to end the signature is given.
In step S504, the electronic terminal performs a process of displaying a preview of the photographed picture. This is to confirm the photographed picture.

In step S505, the electronic terminal determines whether an instruction to recapture an image has been issued. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to S506, and in the case of No, the process returns to S503. For example, when the re-shooting button is pressed, it is determined as Yes, and when the save button is pressed, it is determined as No.
In step S506, the electronic terminal temporarily stores the image data of the photographed picture in the internal memory.

Finally, in step S411, the electronic terminal transmits, to the server, the electronic document, the signature image data, the sound data, and the image data, and instructs the server to associate the respective data and register the data in the database.
The flow of the signature input in the second embodiment of the present invention has been described above.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of signature input in the third embodiment of the present invention.

The process of FIG. 6 is a process executed by the electronic terminal 101. In addition, the same steps as those in FIGS. 4 and 5 have the same step numbers, and the description thereof will be omitted.
In the third embodiment, the instruction to register the electronic document on the server is applied to the use case given by the customer.

  In step 601, the electronic terminal performs processing for taking a picture of the user operating the electronic terminal using the imaging device in response to the instruction to register the electronic document being accepted according to the user's operation. Do. Then, image data of the picture is generated.

In step S602, the electronic terminal compares the image data (signer image data) of the photograph taken in step S503 with the image data (registrant image data) of the photograph taken in step S601. The two image data are compared here to confirm whether the subject is the same person. In the third embodiment, since it is a use case where the customer inputs a signature and instructs registration, it is to check whether the signer and the registration instructor are the same person. By performing such a check, unauthorized registration can be prevented. For example, even if a signature is made due to a threat, if another person performs the registration operation, registration with the server can be prevented. In addition, since various image analysis techniques conventionally exist as a technique which discriminate | determines whether it is the same person by comparison of image data, what kind of technique may be employ | adopted.
In step S603, the electronic terminal determines whether the same person is the result of the comparison. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to S411, and in the case of No, the process ends.

Finally, in step S411, the electronic terminal transmits the electronic document, the signature image data, the sound data, the signer image data, and the registrant image data to the server, and associates the respective data to the database. Give instructions to register.
The flow of signature input in the third embodiment of the present invention has been described above.

  Finally, an example of a data table managed by the server is shown.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a data table managed by the server in the embodiment of the present invention.

  Note that this data table is managed in a database managed by the server, and manages the electronic document, signature image data, sound data, and image data transmitted from the electronic terminal in association with each other. .

In the data table 70, a user master 701, document information 702, customer master 703, customer certification information 704, signature information 705, voice information 706, storage time image 707, and transmission time image 708 are managed.
The user master 701 is information of a user who operates the electronic terminal, and manages a user ID, a password, a user name, a department name, a company name, and an e-mail address.

Document information 702 is information of an electronic document (check sheet that the customer wants to confirm), and the document ID, document type, document name, document information A, document information B, document information C, document information D, customer ID , Customer certification information ID is managed.
The customer master 703 is customer information, and a customer ID, a customer name, and an e-mail address are managed.

  The customer certification information 704 is information for managing certification information linked to an electronic document, and is managed by customer certification information ID, signature information ID, voice information ID, storage image ID, transmission image ID, signature date, transmission date It is done.

The signature information 705 is a table for holding information for certifying that the customer has confirmed the content of the document, and the signature information ID and the signature information (signature image data) are managed.
The voice information 706 is a table for holding information for proving that it has been verbally transmitted to the customer, and a voice information ID and voice information (sound data) are managed.

The storage image 707 is a table for storing information to be associated with the transmission image at the time of transmission, and the storage image ID and the storage image (signer image data) are managed.
The transmission time image 708 is a table that holds information to be associated with the storage image at the time of transmission, and manages the transmission time image ID and the transmission time image (registrant image data).
Heretofore, an example of the data table managed by the server has been described.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a person who can write a signature on a touch panel type display with a mechanism that can easily input the signature.

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of signature input in the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
The same step numbers are assigned to steps performing the same processing as the flowchart of the first embodiment to the flowchart of the third embodiment, and the detailed description will be omitted. Therefore, in the description of FIG. 8, the process after the electronic terminal receives an instruction to edit a document from the user in step S402 will be described.

  In step S801, the electronic terminal determines which area is selected as an area for editing a document by the user. If the selected area is a signature area, the process advances to step S802. If the selected area is an area for entering a report or the like, the process advances to step S807. In the electronic document, an arbitrary area on the electronic document is defined as an area for writing a report, as a premise of realizing the present embodiment. In addition, it is assumed that definition information is included in an electronic document. A specific example is shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an input area of an electronic file in the fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In the example shown in FIG. 9, the area 901 is defined as a signature area, and the area 902 is defined as an area for writing a report or the like.
Therefore, when the user selects the area 901, the process proceeds to the flow of signature input, and when the user selects an area for writing a report or the like, direct input can be performed.

  In step S802, the electronic terminal determines whether the “direct input” mode is set as the mode setting at the time of signature input. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to S805, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to S803. Here, the direct input mode refers to a mode in which the user can directly input a signature using an area of the entire display as an input area instead of separately displaying the input screen for inputting a signature. Further, the setting of the direct input mode can adopt various methods. For example, the mode setting may be set from the application menu or the mode setting may be defined inside the electronic document.

In step S803, the electronic terminal performs processing to determine the size of the signature area. The process of determining the size of the signature area is performed in order to display a signature field of an appropriate size, for example, because the user who performs the signature may have a long name or a short name. is there. As a method of determining the size of the area, for example, there is a method of including information to be judged in attribute information of the electronic document and adjusting according to the attribute information. In this case, this can be realized by inputting in advance the name information of the user who is to sign as attribute information.
The description of steps S404 to S406 is omitted.

In step S804, the electronic terminal performs a process of specifying a signature image area. This process is a process of specifying an area where a signature is actually input, out of the areas displayed as the signature input area. Such processing is performed in order to specify an area including a signature to be extracted, since there is a user who signs a small signature if there is a user who signs a large signature in the signature area column. Therefore, here, the area excluding the area where the signature image is not described is specified.
The description of steps S407 to S408 is omitted.

In step S805, the electronic terminal performs a process of switching the mode. Here, processing is performed using the entire display as an input area, but the background may be displayed in any way, for example, it may be blank, or the display content displayed immediately before may be displayed as the background. You may
Description of steps S405 to S407 and step S804 is omitted.

In step S806, the electronic terminal receives an instruction to end the operation. Here, any method may be adopted as an instruction to end the operation. For example, the end instruction may be a double tap on the touch panel display, or the end button may be separately displayed, and the end instruction may be a pressing of the end button.
The description of steps S409 to S411 is omitted.

On the other hand, in step S807, the electronic terminal receives an input. For example, it accepts input of report contents to be described in the report. In the area 902 shown in FIG. 9, an illustration of the copying machine and a plurality of check boxes are displayed in advance, and the operator has entered an example of the report content.
In step S808, the electronic terminal performs storage processing. Here, processing is performed to overwrite the input content on the electronic file and save it.
The fourth embodiment of the present invention has been described above.

Next, the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of signature input in the fifth embodiment of the present invention.

  The same step numbers are assigned to steps performing the same processing as the flowchart of the first embodiment to the flowchart of the fourth embodiment, and the detailed description will be omitted. Therefore, in the description of FIG. 10, the process after the electronic terminal performs the process of generating and storing the image data of the input signature (signature image data) in step S407 will be described.

  Also, as a precondition of the fifth embodiment of the present invention, when the user inputs a signature, a symbol that has been notified in advance (for example, “o”, “x”, “Δ”, etc.) Input. It is assumed that this symbol is notified by communication means such as mail or fax.

  For example, assuming the scene of a sales contract as a use case of the business of entering a signature, it is possible to impersonate sales and customers collusion, and the seller's settlement manager notifies the customer of the key symbol directly to the customer. It is to prevent impersonation by keeping it.

In step S1001, the electronic terminal sends a request for confirming the stored signature content to the server in S407. A signature image shall be sent along with the confirmation request.
A specific example is shown in FIG.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a flow of signature content confirmation processing in the fifth embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 11 shows two examples of an input image 1101 (set of signature image and symbol image) and an input image 1102 (set of signature image and symbol image). It is assumed that the input fields are separated so that the signature and the symbol can be identified. In the example shown in FIG. 11, since the confirmation image 1103 is registered with “o” as a symbol, the input image 1101 is considered to be normal and the input image 1102 is considered to be an error.
In step S1002, the server receives a request for signature confirmation and a signature image.

  In step S1003, the server performs verification by collating the symbol image included in the received signature image with the verification image being managed. In addition, there is a method of using a signature image, for example, to specify which confirmation image to use. In that case, on the server side, it is possible to identify the confirmation image to be used for collation by correlating and registering the name information of the person to be certified and the confirmation image and analyzing the signature image. As another method, a confirmation image can be specified by having the user information, electronic file information, and the like be sent together at the time of confirmation request from the electronic terminal.

In step S1004, the server determines whether the content of the symbol is appropriate as a result of the confirmation processing. In the case of Yes, the process proceeds to S1005, and in the case of No, the process proceeds to S1007.
In step S1005, the server notifies that it is normal.
In step S1006, the electronic terminal receives the notification indicating that it is normal, and then proceeds to step S408.
On the other hand, in S1007, the server notifies that it is an error.
In step S1008, the electronic terminal receives a notification that there is an error.
In step S1009, the electronic terminal issues a notification prompting re-input of the signature because the input symbol is not appropriate. Then, it returns to S404.
The fifth embodiment of the present invention has been described above.
