The information processing apparatus 1 is a server apparatus storing a master object, and may be a so-called cloud server, regardless of its type. The terminal device 2 is a device used by a user who downloads a master object and creates or edits a publication. The terminal device 2 is a so-called personal computer, a tablet terminal, a smartphone or the like, and there is no limitation on its type.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the information processing system in the present embodiment.

  The information processing apparatus 1 includes a storage unit 11, a reception unit 12, a processing unit 13, and a transmission unit 14.

  The storage unit 11 includes a master object storage unit 111.

  The receiving unit 12 includes an update information receiving unit 121.

  The processing unit 13 includes a mismatch status acquisition unit 131 and an operation unit 132.

  The mismatch status acquisition unit 131 includes a child object acquisition unit 1311, a comparison unit 1312, and a mismatch status acquisition unit 1313.

  The operation unit 132 includes a master object update unit 1321 and another child object update processing unit 1322.

  The terminal device 2 includes a terminal storage unit 21, a terminal reception unit 22, a terminal processing unit 23, a terminal transmission unit 24, a terminal reception unit 25, and a terminal output unit 26.

  The storage unit 11 configuring the information processing device 1 can store various types of information. The various information is, for example, one or more master objects described later, one or more publications, and the like. The publication is, for example, an electronic publication, but may be a printed matter (usually, a paper printed matter) to be printed after being created electronically. Publications are, for example, electronic books, electronic magazines, electronic cartoons, electronic catalogs, electronic brochures, paper books, paper magazines, paper cartoons, paper catalogs, paper brochures and the like. Publications usually have two or more pages, but may be one page.

  The master object storage unit 111 may store one or more master objects. A master object is an object used in one or more publications, and an object used in two or more places in one or more publications.

  Here, the object may be referred to as information or data. An object is information contained in a publication, and may consist of one piece of information or a set of two or more pieces of information. Objects usually have one or more attribute values. The object is, for example, a character string, a still image, a moving image, a sound, music, or a combination of two or more of them, regardless of the data type. Objects are usually the parts that make up a publication.

  The master object storage unit 111 preferably stores one or more pieces of master information. The master information has a master object and one or more location identifiers. The location identifier is information indicating a location where the master object is used, and is information for identifying the usage location of the master object. The use place is usually a place where the master object is copied. The use location may be, for example, a location linked to the master object. The location identifier has, for example, a terminal identifier, a publication identifier, and a page identifier. Also, the location identifier has, for example, a terminal identifier and a page identifier. Also, the location identifier has, for example, a publication identifier and a page identifier. The place identifier may further include place specifying information which is information specifying a place in the page. The terminal identifier is information for identifying the terminal device 2 and is, for example, an IP address, a telephone number, an ID or the like. The terminal identifier may be a user identifier that identifies the editor of the publication. Also, the publication identifier is information identifying a publication. The publication identifier is, for example, an ID, a publication name, or the like. The page identifier is information identifying a page. The page identifier is, for example, a page number, an ID or the like. The place specifying information is, for example, relative coordinates (x, y) in the page.

  The receiving unit 12 receives information, instructions, and the like from one or more terminal devices 2. The instructions and information are, for example, a master object download instruction, a publication download instruction, child object generation information, update information described later, and the like. The master object download instruction is an instruction to download the master object. The master object download instruction has, for example, a master object identifier which is information for identifying the master object. The master object download instruction is an instruction transmitted from the terminal device 2 when a child object is generated using the master object. The download instruction of the publication is an instruction to download the publication. The download instruction of the publication has, for example, a publication identifier, which is information identifying the publication. The child object generation information is information indicating that a child object of the master object is generated using the master object in the terminal device 2. The child object generation information has, for example, a master object identifier, and a location identifier indicating a location where a child object is used. The child object generation information may include, for example, the child object itself.

  The update information receiving unit 121 receives update information, which is information for updating a child object, from one or more terminal devices 2. Further, the update information receiving unit 121 receives update information from one terminal device 2. The update information may be any information for updating a child object. The update information may be, for example, the master object identifier and the updated child object itself. Further, the update information may be, for example, only information updated (different information) as compared with the master object identifier and the master object in the child object. Also, the update information may be, for example, a child object identifier for identifying a child object and the child object itself. The update information may be, for example, updated information (different information) as compared with the child object identifier and the master object in the child object.

  The processing unit 13 performs various processes. The various types of processing are, for example, processing performed by the mismatch status acquisition unit 131, the operation unit 132, and the like described later.

  The mismatch status obtaining unit 131 obtains, for each of one or more master objects in the master object storage unit 111, a mismatch status of the master object and two or more child objects in which the master object is used. The non-matching status is information on matching or non-matching between the master object and one or more child objects corresponding to the master object. The child object corresponding to the master object is usually an object to which the master object is copied, but may be information linked to the master object and having only the difference. In addition, when child objects exist in two places, the non-matching status may be, for example, "match all", "one master object matches one child object, other objects are different", and "3 also differs" It can take some kind of information.

  It is preferable that, when the update information reception unit 121 receives update information from one terminal device 2, the mismatch state acquisition unit 131 acquires a mismatch state. However, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 may obtain the status of mismatch at an arbitrary timing.

  The mismatch status obtaining unit 131 compares the data of each of two or more child objects with the data of the master object to obtain a mismatch status. That is, the non-coincidence situation may be a non-coincidence situation of data contents between objects.

  In addition, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 may compare the one or more attribute values of each of the one or more child objects with the one or more attribute values of the master object to obtain the mismatch status. That is, the non-matching status may be a non-matching status of object attribute values between objects. When the object is a character, the attribute value is, for example, the size, font, color, background color or the like. When the object is an image (still image or moving image), the attribute values are, for example, resolution, size, lightness, saturation, and the like.

  The mismatch state acquisition unit 131 operates, for example, as follows. The mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires a master object from the master object storage unit 111. Next, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires one or more location identifiers paired with the master object. Then, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires one or more child objects from the one or more terminal devices 2 using the acquired one or more location identifiers. Then, the master object is compared with one or more child objects. Note that this comparison is data content and / or one or more attribute values. Next, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires the mismatch status between two or more objects. In addition, the trigger of this operation | movement does not matter.

  In addition, for example, the mismatch state acquisition unit 131 operates as follows. When the update information reception unit 121 receives update information from one terminal device 2, the master object storage unit 111 corresponds to the update information (for example, identified by the master object identifier included in the update information). Get from Next, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires one or more location identifiers paired with the master object. Then, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires one or more child objects from the one or more terminal devices 2 using the acquired one or more location identifiers. Then, the master object is compared with one or more child objects. Note that this comparison is comparison of data contents and / or one or more attribute values. Next, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 acquires the mismatch status between two or more objects.

  The child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires a child object at a use location identified by two or more location identifiers. The child object acquisition unit 1311 corresponds to, for example, the update information when the update information reception unit 121 receives the update information from one terminal device 2 (for example, identified by the master object identifier included in the update information). ) The master object is acquired from the master object storage unit 111. Next, the child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires one or more location identifiers paired with the master object. Then, the child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires (receives) one or more child objects from the one or more terminal devices 2 using the acquired one or more location identifiers. The trigger for the child object acquisition unit 1311 to acquire a child object may be another trigger or timing.

  The comparison unit 1312 compares the two or more child objects acquired by the child object acquisition unit 1311 with the master object. The comparison means 1312 may compare the master object with one of each child object. Note that this comparison is comparison of data contents and / or one or more attribute values.

  The non-coincidence situation acquiring means 1313 acquires the non-coincidence situation which is the comparison result of the comparing means 1312. The non-matching status is, for example, “match all” “one child object if there are two or more child objects (if there are two or more location identifiers paired with the master object). Unlike the other objects (including the master object), the master object and the other objects are identical, and can take three types of information “different from three”.

  The operation unit 132 performs different operations according to the difference between the two or more types of mismatched states acquired by the mismatched state acquisition unit 131. The operation unit 132 performs, for example, a consistency holding process, a warning information output process, and the like described later. The consistency maintaining process is a process of updating one or more objects in order to maintain consistency between the master object and one or more child objects. At this time, the operation unit 132 uses the received update information. The warning information output process is a process of transmitting warning information corresponding to the unmatched situation. The destination of the warning information is usually the terminal device 2 that has transmitted the update information, and / or the terminal device 2 that corresponds to a location identifier that is paired with the master object. Note that two or more types of non-matching situations usually do not include the case where all objects match.

  For example, when the unmatched status acquired by the unmatched status acquisition unit 131 is the status of mismatch of one type, the operation unit 132 uses the update information on the update performed on the child object of one master. The object and other child objects are also subjected to consistency maintenance processing that reflects the update. The “one type of non-matching situation” is, for example, information indicating that “only one child object is different from another object, and the master object and the other object match”.

  In addition, for example, when the mismatched status acquired by the mismatched status acquisition unit 131 is another type of mismatch status, the operation unit 132 outputs warning information of contents according to the other types of mismatch status. The first warning information output process is performed. Note that, for example, “a different type of non-matching status” is “a master object and two or more master objects when two or more child objects exist (when two or more location identifiers paired with a master object exist). Information indicating that three or more types of values or three or more types of attribute values exist among child objects. In such a case, after the master object is copied and child objects are generated, different corrections are performed on two or more child objects.

  The master object update unit 1321 updates the master object corresponding to the updated child object according to the update information.

  The other child object update processing means 1322 performs processing for updating other child objects corresponding to the master object corresponding to the updated child object according to the update information. The other child object update processing means 1322 is usually a child object corresponding to a location identifier that makes a pair with the master object corresponding to the updated child object, and is a child object of the corresponding location of the terminal device 2 that has sent the update information. According to the update information, perform processing for updating child objects except for. Such processing is usually to transmit an instruction (update instruction) to correct the corresponding child object according to the update information to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the location identifier. The terminal device 2 having received the instruction corrects the child object corresponding to the location identifier in accordance with the update instruction.

  The transmission unit 14 transmits various types of information, instructions, and the like to the terminal device 2. Various information, instructions, etc. are, for example, one or more master objects, update instructions, publications, warning information, etc.

  The terminal storage unit 21 configuring the terminal device 2 can store various types of information. The various types of information are, for example, terminal identifiers. The terminal identifier is information that identifies the terminal device 2 or information that identifies the user of the terminal device 2.

  The terminal accepting unit 22 accepts an instruction, information, and the like. The instructions, information, and the like are a master object download instruction, a publication download instruction, a child object generation instruction, a master object copy instruction, and a child object update instruction.

  Note that any means such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, or a menu screen may be used as the means for inputting instructions, information, and the like. The terminal accepting unit 22 can be realized by a device driver of input means such as a keyboard, control software of a menu screen, or the like.

  The terminal processing unit 23 performs various processes. The various processes are, for example, to make a data structure for transmitting an instruction, information, etc. accepted by the terminal accepting unit 22. Also, the various processes are, for example, processes for updating a child object corresponding to the update instruction based on the received update instruction.

  The terminal transmission unit 24 transmits various instructions, information, and the like to the information processing apparatus 1. The various instructions and information are, for example, update information, a master object download instruction, a publication download instruction, child object generation information and the like.

  The terminal reception unit 25 receives various types of information and instructions from the information processing device 1. The various information and instructions are, for example, an update instruction, one or more master objects, publications, warning information and the like.

  The terminal output unit 26 outputs the information received by the terminal reception unit 25. The received information is, for example, one or more master objects, publications, and the like.

  Here, the output includes display on a display, projection using a projector, printing on a printer, sound output, transmission to an external device, storage in a recording medium, and other processing devices and other programs. It is a concept that includes the delivery of processing results.

  Although the storage unit 11, the master object storage unit 111, and the terminal storage unit 21 are preferably non-volatile storage media, they can be realized as volatile storage media.

  There is no limitation on the process of storing information in the storage unit 11 or the like. For example, the information may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like through the recording medium, or the information transmitted through the communication line may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like. Alternatively, the information input via the input device may be stored in the storage unit 11 or the like.

  The receiving unit 12, the update information receiving unit 121, and the terminal receiving unit 25 are usually realized by wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by means for receiving a broadcast.

Typically, the processing procedure of the processing unit 13 or the like is realized by software, and the software is stored in a storage medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (a dedicated circuit).

  The transmitting unit 14 and the terminal transmitting unit 24 are usually realized by wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by broadcasting means.

  The terminal output unit 26 may or may not include output devices such as a display and a speaker. The terminal output unit 26 may be realized by driver software of an output device, or driver software of an output device and an output device.

  Next, the operation of the information processing system will be described. First, the operation of the information processing apparatus 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S301) The receiving unit 12 determines whether a download instruction of a publication has been received. If the publication download instruction is received, the process goes to step S302. If the publication download instruction is not received, the process goes to step S304. Note that the download instruction of the publication usually has a publication identifier.

  (Step S302) The processing unit 13 acquires, from the storage unit 11, a publication corresponding to the download instruction of the publication received in step S301.

  (Step S303) The transmission unit 14 transmits the publication acquired in step S302 to the terminal device 2. It returns to step S301. The terminal device 2 is a terminal device 2 that has transmitted a download instruction of a publication.

  (Step S304) The receiving unit 12 determines whether a download instruction of one or more master objects has been received. If the download instruction of one or more master objects is received, the process proceeds to step S305. If the download instruction of one or more master objects is not received, the process proceeds to step S309.

  (Step S305) The processing unit 13 acquires, from the master object storage unit 111, one or more master objects corresponding to the download instruction received in step S304.

  (Step S306) The transmission unit 14 transmits the one or more master objects acquired in step S305 to the terminal device 2. It returns to step S301.

  (Step S307) The receiving unit 12 determines whether or not child object generation information has been received from the terminal device 2. When child object generation information is received, the process goes to step S308, and when child object generation information is not received, the process goes to step S310. The child object generation information generally has a location identifier that identifies the location where the child object exists, and a master object identifier that identifies the master object.

  (Step S308) The processing unit 13 acquires a location identifier corresponding to the child object generation information received in step S307. In addition, the processing unit 13 usually acquires a location identifier included in child object generation information.

  (Step S309) The processing unit 13 associates the location identifier acquired in step S308 with the master object corresponding to the child object generation information received in step S307, and stores the identifier in the master object storage unit 111. It returns to step S301. The processing unit 13 stores the location identifier acquired in step S308 in the master object storage unit 111 in association with, for example, the master object identifier included in the child object generation information received in step S307.

  (Step S310) The update information receiving unit 121 determines whether the update information has been received. If the update information is received, the process goes to step S311. If the update information is not received, the process returns to step S301.

  (Step S311) The mismatch status acquisition unit 131 performs a mismatch status acquisition process. The non-coincidence situation acquisition process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S312) The operation unit 132 or the like performs processing in accordance with the mismatched status acquired in step S311. It returns to step S301. The non-coincidence process, which is a process corresponding to the non-coincidence situation, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the processing is ended by an interruption of power off or processing end.

  Next, the non-coincidence state acquisition process of step S311 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S401) The child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires one child object corresponding to the update information. One child object is a child object updated by the terminal device 2.

  (Step S402) The comparing means 1312 acquires a master object identifier corresponding to the update information.

  (Step S403) The comparison unit 1312 acquires from the master object storage unit 111 a master object corresponding to the master object identifier acquired in step S402.

  (Step S404) The comparison unit 1312 acquires one or more location identifiers corresponding to the master object identifier from the master object storage unit 111.

  (Step S405) The child object acquisition unit 1311 substitutes 1 into the counter i.

  (Step S406) The child object acquisition unit 1311 determines whether or not the ith position identifier exists in the position identifiers acquired in step S404. If the i-th place identifier exists, the process goes to step S407. If the i-th place identifier does not exist, the process goes to step S409.

  (Step S407) The child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires a child object corresponding to the i-th location identifier. The child object corresponding to the i-th place identifier is usually acquired from the terminal device 2, but may be acquired from the storage unit 11. In addition, when acquiring from the storage part 11, it is usually assumed that the newest child object is always stored in the storage part 11.

  (Step S408) The child object acquisition unit 1311 increments the counter i by one. It returns to step S406.

  (Step S409) The comparing means 1312 compares the master object with two or more child objects. Then, the comparison means 1312 determines whether or not only the one child object is different from the other objects. If only one child object is different from the other objects, the process goes to step S410, otherwise the process goes to step S411. The other objects are the master object and one or more objects (except for one object). Also, that the object is the same usually means that the content of the object and the attribute value are the same (it is merely copied).

  (Step S410) The noncoincidence situation acquisition unit 1313 substitutes 1 into the variable "noncoincidence situation". Return to upper level processing. When the mismatch status is 1, only one child object corresponding to the update information is different from the other objects.

  (Step S411) The comparison unit 1312 determines whether there are three or more types of values or attribute values of the master object and two or more child objects (including one child object). If there are three or more types, the process goes to step S412. If there are three or more types, the process goes to step S413. The three types of objects are three objects having different values (content and data may be called) or three objects having different attribute values.

  (Step S412) The noncoincidence situation acquiring unit 1313 substitutes 2 into the variable “noncoincidence situation”. Return to upper level processing. In the case where the mismatch status is 2, this is a case where three or more types of objects exist in the master object and two or more child objects (so-called, they are disjointed).

  (Step S413) The noncoincidence situation acquiring unit 1313 substitutes 3 into the variable “noncoincidence situation”. Return to upper level processing. When the mismatch status is 3, all objects are the same.

  Next, the non-coincidence process in step S312 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  (Step S501) The operation unit 132 determines whether the non-coincidence state is “1”. If the non-coincidence state is “1”, the process goes to step S502, and if the non-coincidence state is not “1”, the process goes to step S507.

  (Step S502) The master object update unit 1321 updates the master object corresponding to the one child object so as to be identical to the one child object corresponding to the update information.

  (Step S503) The other child object update processing means 1322 substitutes 1 into the counter i.

  (Step S504) The other child object update processing means 1322 determines whether the i-th other location identifier exists. If the i-th other location identifier exists, the process goes to step S505, and if the i-th other location identifier does not exist, the process returns to the upper level processing.

  (Step S505) The other child object update processing means 1322 transmits an update instruction to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the i-th other location identifier. The update instruction is an instruction to perform an update process according to the update information. By executing the update instruction, the other child object has the same information as one child object. Note that the update instruction has, for example, the entity or difference of the child object to be updated, and the location identifier.

  (Step S506) The other child object update processing unit 1322 increments the counter i by one. It returns to step S504.

  (Step S507) The operation unit 132 determines whether the mismatch status is "2". If the non-coincidence state is "2", the process goes to step S508. If the non-coincidence state is not "2", the process goes to step S516.

  (Step S508) The operation unit 132 acquires the first warning information and the second warning information from the storage unit 11. Note that the first warning information is, for example, "You may have improperly corrected the object corresponding to $ location identifier $.", And the second warning information is, for example, " The object corresponding to $ location identifier $ may have been improperly modified by two or more persons. " Note that "$ location identifier $" is a variable, and is the content corresponding to the location identifier, and the content specifying the child object is substituted.

  (Step S509) The operation unit 132 substitutes 1 into the counter i.

  (Step S510) The operation unit 132 determines whether the ith location identifier exists in the acquired location identifiers. If the i-th place identifier exists, the process goes to step S511, and if the i-th place identifier does not exist, the process returns to the upper process.

  (Step S511) The comparing means 1312 acquires a child object corresponding to the ith location identifier.

  (Step S512) The comparison unit 1312 determines whether the child object acquired in step S511 and the master object are identical. If they are identical, the process goes to step S514, and if they are not identical, the process goes to step S513.

  (Step S513) The operation unit 132 transmits the first warning information to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the i-th location identifier. Go to step S515.

  (Step S514) The operation unit 132 transmits the second warning information to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the ith location identifier.

  (Step S515) The operation unit 132 increments the counter i by one. It returns to step S510.

  (Step S516) The operation unit 132 acquires third warning information from the storage unit 11. The third warning information is, for example, "May be a correction for your $ location identifier $ may not be reflected."

  (Step S517) The operation unit 132 transmits the third warning information to the terminal device 2 that has transmitted the update information.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 5, different warning information may be transmitted to one or more terminal devices depending on whether the mismatch status is “1”, “2” or “3”. Also in this case, the operation unit 132 corresponds to performing different operations due to the difference between the two or more types of mismatched status acquired by the mismatched status acquisition unit 131.

  Next, the operation of the terminal device 2 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

(Step S601) The terminal accepting unit 22 determines whether a download instruction of a publication has been accepted. If the publication download instruction is received, the process goes to step S602. If the publication download instruction is not received, the process goes to step S605.

  (Step S602) The terminal processing unit 23 configures a download instruction (a download instruction of a publication) to be transmitted, and transmits the download instruction to the information processing apparatus 1.

  (Step S603) The terminal reception unit 25 determines whether a publication corresponding to the download instruction of the publication has been received. If a publication has been received, the process goes to step S604, and if a publication is not received, the process returns to step S603.

  (Step S607) The terminal reception unit 25 determines whether one or more master objects corresponding to the download instruction of one or more master objects have been received. If it is received, the process goes to step S608, and if it is not received, the process returns to step S607.

  (Step S608) The terminal output unit 26 outputs the one or more master objects received in step S607. It returns to step S601.

  (Step S609) The terminal receiving unit 22 determines whether an instruction to generate a child object has been received. If the child object generation instruction is received, the process goes to step S610. If the child object generation instruction is not received, the process goes to step S613.

  (Step S610) The terminal processing unit 23 generates a child object from the master object corresponding to the child object generation instruction, and pastes the child object at a position corresponding to the generation instruction of the child object of the publication. Note that the generation of a child object usually means copying a master object to generate a child object.

  (Step S611) The terminal processing unit 23 constructs child object generation information. Child object creation information usually has a master object identifier and a location identifier. That is, the terminal processing unit 23 acquires, for example, from among one or more master objects, the master object identifier of the master object instructed by the user. Also, the terminal processing unit 23 acquires, for example, the publication identifier of the publication to which the child object is attached, the page identifier, the terminal identifier of the terminal device 2, and the like.

  (Step S612) The terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the child object generation information configured in step S611 to the information processing device 1. It returns to step S601.

  (Step S613) The terminal reception unit 25 determines whether an update instruction has been received. If the update instruction has been received, the process proceeds to step S614. If the update instruction is not received, the process proceeds to step S615.

  (Step S614) The terminal processing unit 23 updates the child object corresponding to the update instruction received in step S613 according to the update instruction. It returns to step S601.

  (Step S615) The terminal reception unit 25 determines whether any warning information has been received. If the warning information is received, the process proceeds to step S616. If the warning information is not received, the process proceeds to step S617.

  (Step S616) The terminal output unit 26 outputs the warning information received in step S615. It returns to step S601.

  (Step S617) The terminal accepting unit 22 determines whether an instruction to update a child object has been accepted. If the update instruction of the child object is received, the process proceeds to step S618, and if the update instruction of the child object is not received, the process returns to step S601.

  (Step S618) The terminal processing unit 23 updates the child object in accordance with the update instruction of the child object.

  (Step S619) The terminal processing unit 23 configures update information in accordance with the update instruction of the child object. The update information may have information identifying a child object, may have a master object identifier, or may have the child object itself.

  (Step S620) The terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the update information configured in step S619 to the information processing device 1. It returns to step S601.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 6, the process is ended by an interruption of power off or process end.

  Hereinafter, specific operations of the information processing system in the present embodiment will be described. A conceptual diagram of the information processing system is FIG.

  Now, the master object storage unit 111 holds the master object management table shown in FIG. The master object management table has “ID”, “master object”, and “location identifier”. The "location identifier" has one or more location identifiers. Here, “location identifier” has “terminal identifier”, “publication identifier” and “page identifier”.

  Further, it is assumed that the storage unit 11 stores a warning information management table shown in FIG. The warning information management table stores one or more records having “warning identifier” and “warning information”. “Warning identifier” is information for identifying warning information.

  In the above situation, it is assumed that the user A with the terminal identifier "d01" creates and edits the publication identified by the publication identifier "bk01".

  Further, it is assumed that the user B of the terminal identifier "d02" creates and edits the publication identified by the publication identifier "bk02".

  Further, it is assumed that the user C with the terminal identifier "d03" is a publication identified by the publication identifier "bk01", and creates and edits a page different from the page created by the user A and the like.

  In such a situation, the following three specific examples will be described. A specific example 1 is processing in which a child object is generated by the terminal device 2 and a location identifier is automatically added to the information processing device 1. The specific example 2 is the case where the operation unit 132 performs the consistency holding process. The third specific example is a case where the operation unit 132 performs warning information output processing for outputting warning information.

(Specific example 1)
First, it is assumed that the user A inputs to the terminal device 2 a download instruction of the publication identified by the publication identifier “bk01”. Next, the terminal accepting unit 22 accepts a download instruction of the publication. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 configures a download instruction to be transmitted, and transmits the download instruction to the information processing apparatus 1.

The processing unit 13 is a publication corresponding to the received download instruction for the publication, and acquires from the storage unit 11 the publication identified by the publication identifier “bk01”. Next, the transmission unit 14 transmits the acquired publication to the terminal device 2 of the user A.

  Next, in the user A, the terminal reception unit 25 of the terminal device 2 receives the publication corresponding to the download instruction of the publication. Then, the terminal output unit 26 outputs the received publication.

  Next, it is assumed that the user A inputs a download instruction of one or more master objects to the terminal device 2. Next, the terminal accepting unit 22 accepts a download instruction of one or more master objects. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 configures a download instruction to be transmitted, and transmits the download instruction to the information processing apparatus 1.

  Next, the receiving unit 12 of the information processing device 1 receives a download instruction of one or more master objects. The processing unit 13 acquires, from the storage unit 11, one or more master objects corresponding to the received download instruction of the one or more master objects. Next, the transmitting unit 14 transmits the acquired one or more master objects to the terminal device 2 of the user A.

  Next, in the user A, the terminal reception unit 25 of the terminal device 2 receives one or more master objects. Then, the terminal output unit 26 outputs a list screen of one or more master objects.

  Next, it is assumed that the user A designates the master object of “ID = 0009” from the list screen of the output master object, and inputs an instruction to paste it on page 11 of the output publication. Then, the terminal receiving unit 22 receives a child object generation instruction. The master object of this child object is a master object of "ID = 0009".

  Next, the terminal processing unit 23 generates a child object from the master object corresponding to the child object generation instruction, and pastes the child object at a position corresponding to the generation instruction of the child object of the publication.

  Next, the terminal processing unit 23 constructs child object generation information. The child object creation information has a master object identifier “ID = 0009”, a terminal identifier “d01”, a publication identifier “bk01”, and a page identifier “11”.

  Next, the terminal transmission unit 24 transmits, to the information processing apparatus 1, child object generation information including the above information.

  Next, the receiving unit 12 of the information processing device 1 receives child object generation information from the terminal device 2.

  Next, the processing unit 13 acquires a location identifier (terminal identifier “d01”, publication identifier “bk01”, page identifier “11”) corresponding to the received child object generation information.

  Next, the processing unit 13 stores the acquired location identifier in the master object management table in association with the master object (master object of “ID = 0009”) included in the received child object generation information. Such a master object management table is shown in FIG. As a result of the above processing, the location identifier of “ID = 0009” in FIG. 9 is added.

(Specific example 2)
It is assumed that the master object management table of FIG. 7 is stored in the master object storage unit 111.

  Then, it is assumed that the user A causes the terminal device 2 to output the tenth page of the publication identified by the publication identifier “bk01”. An output example of the tenth page is shown in FIG.

  Next, the user A inputs, to the terminal device 2, an update instruction to correct “price: 320,000 yen” of the child object 1001 in the screen of FIG. (See FIG. 11).

  Next, the terminal accepting unit 22 of the terminal device 2 accepts an update instruction of the child object. Then, the terminal processing unit 23 updates “price: 320,000 yen” of the child object 1001 to “price: 30000 yen” according to the update instruction of the child object.

  Next, the terminal processing unit 23 configures update information according to the update instruction of the child object. The update information includes an updated child object (including "price: 30000 yen"), a location identifier (terminal identifier "d01", publication identifier "bk01", page identifier "10"), and a master. It has an object identifier "0001". Next, the terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the configured update information to the information processing device 1.

  Next, the update information receiving unit 121 of the information processing device 1 receives the update information.

  Then, next, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 performs the following mismatch status acquisition process. That is, first, the child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires one child object corresponding to the update information.

  Next, the comparison means 1312 acquires a master object identifier "0001" corresponding to the update information.

  Next, the comparison means 1312 acquires a master object corresponding to the acquired master object identifier “0001” from the master object management table (FIG. 9). The master object has "price: 32,000 yen".

  Next, the comparison means 1312 selects three location identifiers (“terminal identifier: d01, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 10”, “terminal identifier: d02, publication identifier: bk02”) corresponding to the master object identifier “0001”. , Page identifier: 21 "," terminal identifier: d03, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 35 ") are acquired from the master object management table.

  Next, the child object acquisition unit 1311 selects two location identifiers (“terminal identifier: d02, publication identifier: bk02, page identifier: 21”) excluding the location identifier corresponding to the update information among the three location identifiers. A terminal device identified by the terminal identifier "d02" and the terminal identifier "d02", respectively, using "terminal identifier: d03, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 35") Get from 2 Note that two child objects are the same information as the master object, and have “price: 32,000 yen”.

  Next, the comparison means 1312 compares the master object with the three child objects. Then, the comparison means 1312 differs in that only one child object corresponding to the update information includes “price: 30000 yen” and the other objects include “price: 32,000 yen”. I will judge. Then, the noncoincidence situation acquisition unit 1313 substitutes 1 into the variable “noncoincidence situation”.

  Next, the master object update unit 1321 updates the master object corresponding to the one child object so as to be identical to the one child object corresponding to the update information. That is, "price: 320,000 yen" possessed by the master object identifier "0001" is updated to "price: 30000 yen".

  The other child object update processing means 1322 transmits an update instruction to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the first other location identifier “terminal identifier: d02, publication identifier: bk02, page identifier: 21”. This update instruction is an instruction to update "price: 320,000 yen" possessed by the object identified by the location identifier to "price: 30000 yen".

  Then, the terminal reception unit 25 of the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal identifier “d02” receives the above update instruction. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 updates the child object corresponding to the received update instruction in accordance with the update instruction. That is, "price: 32,000 yen" of the corresponding child object of the 21st page of the publication identified by the publication identifier "bk02" of the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal identifier "d02" is "price: 3 It is updated to .0 million yen.

  Also, the other child object update processing means 1322 transmits an update instruction to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the second other location identifier (“terminal identifier: d03, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 35”). . This update instruction is an instruction to update "price: 320,000 yen" possessed by the object identified by the location identifier to "price: 30000 yen".

  Then, the terminal reception unit 25 of the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal identifier “d03” receives the above update instruction. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 updates the child object corresponding to the received update instruction in accordance with the update instruction. That is, "price: 32,000 yen" of the corresponding child object of the 35th page of the publication identified by the publication identifier "bk01" of the terminal device 2 identified by the terminal identifier "d03" is "price: 3 It is updated to .0 million yen.

  From the above, the consistency between the master object “0001” and its child objects (three) is secured. And consistency maintenance processing was completed. Then, the master object management table is updated to the management table of FIG.

(Specific example 3)
It is assumed that the master object management table of FIG. 7 is stored in the master object storage unit 111.

  Then, it is assumed that the user A causes the terminal device 2 to output the tenth page of the publication identified by the publication identifier “bk01”. An output example of the tenth page is shown in FIG.

  Then, at approximately the same time, the “price of the corresponding child object (the child object corresponding to the master object of“ ID = 0001 ”) of the corresponding page 21 of the publication identified by the publication identifier“ bk02 ”by the user B It is assumed that an update instruction to correct 32,000 yen to "price 28,000 yen" is input to the terminal device 2. Then, the terminal accepting unit 22 of the terminal device 2 of the user B accepts an update instruction of the child object. Then, the terminal processing unit 23 updates “price: 32,000 yen” of the child object 1001 to “price: 28,000 yen” according to the update instruction of the child object.

  After that, the terminal processing unit 23 of the terminal device 2 of the user A configures update information in accordance with the update instruction of the child object. This update information has an updated child object (including "price: 30000 yen") and a location identifier (terminal identifier "d01", publication identifier "bk01", page identifier "10") . Next, the terminal transmission unit 24 transmits the configured update information to the information processing device 1.

  Next, the update information receiving unit 121 of the information processing device 1 receives the update information. This update information has an updated child object and a location identifier (terminal identifier "d01", publication identifier "bk01", page identifier "10").

  Next, the mismatch status acquisition unit 131 performs the following mismatch status acquisition process. That is, first, the child object acquisition unit 1311 acquires one child object corresponding to the update information. This one child object has "price: 30000 yen".

  Next, the comparison means 1312 acquires a master object identifier "0001" corresponding to the update information.

  Next, the child object acquisition unit 1311 selects two location identifiers (“terminal identifier: d02, publication identifier: bk02, page identifier: 21”) excluding the location identifier corresponding to the update information among the three location identifiers. The child object corresponding to each location identifier is acquired using "terminal identifier: d03, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 35". The child object (child object being edited by the user B) corresponding to the location identifier “terminal identifier: d02, publication identifier: bk02, page identifier: 21” has “price: 28,000 yen”. Further, the child object corresponding to the location identifier “terminal identifier: d03, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 35” has “price: 32,000 yen”.

  Next, the comparison means 1312 compares the master object with the three child objects. Then, the comparing means 1312 determines that there are three types of values or attribute values of the master object and three child objects (including one child object). The three types of "price" are "32,000 yen", "30000 yen", and "28,000 yen".

  Then, the comparison means 1312 obtains a child object corresponding to the first place identifier “terminal identifier: d01, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 10”. This child object includes "price: 30000 yen". Next, the comparison means 1312 determines that the child object corresponding to the first place identifier and the master object are not identical. This is because the "price" of the master object is "32,000 yen".

  Next, the operation unit 132 substitutes “terminal identifier: d01, publication identifier: bk01, page identifier: 10” into the variable “$ location identifier $” of the first warning information. Next, the first warning information is transmitted to the terminal device 2 corresponding to the first location identifier.

Editing of dynamic electronic publications.

  When creating or editing a publication, the master object is used for a plurality of publications and a plurality of pages. Also, a plurality of people use one master object to create a publication. In such a situation, a child object created by copying the master object may become inconsistent due to the chaotic correction of each editor, and one or more inconvenient publications may be created.
