The one or two or more work designation information is information for designating one or more works each performed using one or two or more screens. The work here is, for example, work performed using the information processing apparatus 1. The work here is a work executed using a work screen (described later) output by the work screen output unit 110. The two or more pieces of work designation information are preferably information for designating works performed using two or more different screens. The work here is work performed by one or more users, for example, work performed using the information processing apparatus 1. The one work here may be one work group such as a series of plural works. One user here may be one individual or one organization such as a company, a department in the company, or a group. The work here is, for example, work related to finance, accounting, human resources, inventory management, etc. performed in corporations such as companies and organizations. The work here is, for example, a work of inputting data into a form related to finance, accounting, or accounting, a work of confirming data input to the form, a work of reading out data using a query or the like. The form is, for example, a slip or a book. However, the form here is an electronic form. The work here is, for example, work scheduled to be executed. The work scheduled to be executed is a work that one or more users are planning to perform in the future, or a work that must be performed in the future.

  The screen here is a screen used when the user performs one work, for example, a work screen described later. The screen is, for example, an input screen, a menu screen, or a screen that outputs a processing result. A so-called window or dialog may be considered as one screen. Different screens are, for example, different types of screens, specifically screens with different types of forms created using this screen, input screens with different types and combinations of data that can be entered, This is a screen with different types and combinations of data to be displayed. For example, a screen that is the same except for the input data may be considered to be the same screen even if the input data is different. If the input data is different, the screen is different. You may think that there is. For example, screens created using different templates may be considered as different screens. In addition, screens created using the same template may be considered the same screen. Even if screens are created using the same template, different screens can be used if at least some of the arranged data is different. You may think that it is. Further, even if the appearance is different, the same screen may be considered as long as the inputable data is the same. Each screen here may have an input field, an object (not shown) for accepting input by the user such as a button, and the like. Each of the two or more operations performed using two or more different screens is, for example, a different operation.

  The work designation information may be any information as long as the work designation information can be designated as a result. The work designation information is, for example, information having information that designates processing executed by one or more application software used in the work. The process here is, for example, a process involving output of one or more screens. The process here may be one process or a series of processes such as a series of a plurality of processes. The information for designating a process is, for example, a process identifier such as a process name for designating a process to be executed by application software. Further, the information designating the process may be information having a command or instruction for performing the process, for example. The work here is, for example, work scheduled to be executed. The same applies to the following.

  The work designation information is information having information for designating a screen used for work, for example. Here, a screen used for work is referred to as a work screen. The work screen is, for example, an input screen or an output screen used for work. The information for designating the work screen (hereinafter referred to as screen designation information) is information for designating the work screen used for the work, for example. The screen designation information may be information that can identify the work screen such as an identifier of the work screen, for example. The screen designation information is information that can be used to jump to the work screen, and may be link information or address information for work screen information stored in a storage unit (not shown), for example. The screen designation information may be information for designating a template or the like stored in a storage unit (not shown) used for outputting the work screen. The template may be, for example, data in a format dedicated to the information processing apparatus 1, or may be data in XML format, or a combination of XML format data and style sheet data such as CSS. The screen designation information may be image information output as a work screen, information specifying an electronic document or the like output as a work screen, and the like.

  When one or more tasks are performed by executing application software that outputs one or more screens, each task designation information includes an identifier of application software that outputs one or more screens used in the task, An identifier of application software that executes processing used in the work may be included. The application software identifier will be described later.

  The work designation information may have one or more work conditions that are conditions for the work. This work condition is, for example, a condition for specifying a work. The condition for specifying the work is, for example, a condition for specifying a date or the like, a condition for specifying one or more users who perform the work (for example, a user identifier of the user who performs the work, a group identifier of the user group that performs the work, ), A data group used in the work (for example, a database), a condition for designating a storage destination of information created by the work, and the like. The date here is a concept including a plurality of dates and periods. The date here may be, for example, the start date of work or the due date for work. The condition for designating a date may be information designating a specific date, or information such as a rule indicating the date to be identified, such as “10th of every month” or “after 40 days”. .

  The work condition may be a set value or an input value used in the work. This set value is, for example, information such as a query that specifies a search range or the like for acquiring data used for work, information that specifies a data unit, a processing method, or the like. In addition, the set value, input value, and the like used for work are, for example, one or more pieces of information such as subject names that are determined to be input in advance in a form created by the work.

  The work designation information may include a user identifier of a user who performs the work, a user identifier of a user who inputs the work designation information, and the like. The user identifier is, for example, a user name, a user employee number, a character string assigned to the user, a user email address, or the like. When there are a plurality of users who input, the user identifier may be an identifier of the group of the plurality of people. For example, the group identifier is an identifier such as a department or a character string assigned to the group. The user identifier may be considered as one of the above-described work conditions.

  Further, the work designation information includes a work identifier which is an identifier of work registration information described later acquired according to the work designation information, information for designating a rule used to create the work identifier, and the like. Also good. The work identifier will be described later.

  It does not matter how the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information in response to an operation by a user. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information input from a user via an input device (not shown) such as a keyboard or a mouse. In addition, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives the operation for creating the work designation information designated in advance in a state where the work screen output unit 110 described later outputs one work screen. Work designation information for designating work to be performed may be accepted. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 may acquire screen designation information of the output work screen and accept work designation information having this screen designation information. Further, the work designation receiving unit 101 further includes a work designation having a user identifier of a user who uses the information processing apparatus 1, a user who outputs a work screen as described above, or a user who inputs work designation information. Information may be accepted.

  Here, “reception” refers to reception of information input from an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, reception of information transmitted via a wired or wireless communication line, and information passed between application software. It is a concept that includes acceptance. The input means here may be anything such as a mouse, a touch panel or a menu screen. The work designation receiving unit 101 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a mouse or a touch panel, control software for a menu screen, or the like. This also applies to the message receiving unit 105, the output instruction receiving unit 107, and the operation receiving unit 109 described later.

  The work registration information storage unit 102 stores one or more work registration information. The work registration information is information regarding work. For example, the work registration information is information related to work scheduled to be executed. The one or more work registration information items are information related to work performed using one or more screens. The work registration information storage unit 102 stores, for example, two or more work registration information relating to two or more works performed using different screens. The work registration information is information for outputting a work screen used for work, for example. For example, the work registration information is information having information for outputting a work screen used for work. The information for outputting the work screen is, for example, information for designating screen designation information or a task or process accompanied by output of one or more screens.

  For example, the work registration information is information having one or more screen designation information. The work registration information may further include an execution condition that is a condition used when outputting a work screen specified by such screen specification information. The execution condition is, for example, a condition used to create a work screen, and the work screen output unit 110 to be described later has, for example, a work screen that satisfies the execution condition and a work screen on which information that satisfies the execution condition is arranged. Etc. will be output. Execution conditions include, for example, detailed output settings for the work screen, information for specifying one or more changes to be made to the work screen, information that is determined to be entered in advance on the work screen, and input to the work screen A query for obtaining data to be processed. The input here may be considered as an arrangement on the work screen. The change applied to the work screen is, for example, information for specifying information to be changed to replace information already arranged on the work screen, and information used for replacing this information. This is a condition for acquiring information and information for replacement. The information to be changed may be a variable or the like arranged in advance on the work screen. The execution condition is, for example, information (that is, a condition) indicating a search period for searching for data arranged on the work screen.

  The work registration information may include information specifying one or more tasks or processes accompanied by output of one or more screens. The information designating a task or process is, for example, a task identifier or a process identifier. The task or process here is a task or process executed to perform work. The work here is, for example, work scheduled to be executed. Accompanying the output of the screen may be considered to include a process of outputting the screen. The task is a process that is automatically executed by the information processing apparatus 1 or the like, for example. However, the task may include processing such as accepting input from the user. The work registration information may further include one or more instructions for causing a processing unit (not shown) of the information processing apparatus 1 to execute one or more tasks and processes, and conditions used for executing them. good. Such a condition may also be considered as an execution condition.

  For example, one work registration information may include information for outputting one specific work screen, and includes information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of work screens. There may be. The plurality of work screens in this case are, for example, a plurality of work screens output at different times. For example, the plurality of work screens in this case are work screens that are repeatedly created and output according to a constant or indefinite period, a trigger specified in advance, or the like. Dynamically acquiring and outputting means acquiring and outputting a work screen under dynamically different conditions. Dynamic acquisition refers to, for example, creating a work screen to be output according to the time when the work screen is output, the user who outputs the screen, the trigger that outputs the screen, and the like. Each work screen that is dynamically acquired may be a work screen in which arranged data or the like differs depending on the time of output or the user. Work registration information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of screens includes, for example, a reference work screen and conditions such as execution conditions used to dynamically update the reference work screen. , Information for specifying a work screen template, and information such as an execution condition used for dynamically updating the template. For example, the work registration information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of screens is screen designation information for designating a template or the like having a variable, or work registration information having an execution condition or the like having a variable. This variable is, for example, a variable to which a dynamically determined value, for example, the current date, the current month, or the value of the previous month is input. Conditions such as execution conditions used to dynamically update the reference work screen include, for example, conditions for creating data used to replace one or more data of the reference work screen, This is a condition for creating data to be added to the reference work screen. The same applies to the conditions used for dynamically updating the template. For example, work registration information includes screen specification information that specifies a template for an invoice and conditions for setting the date entered in this template to the last day of the month that includes the date on which the work screen is output, and is placed on the work screen. Information that includes a query that sets a period to be searched in a range from the first day to the last day of the month including the date when the work screen is output. .

  One piece of work registration information may include information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes accompanying screen output, for example. The plurality of tasks or processes in this case are, for example, a plurality of tasks or processes executed at different times. For example, the plurality of tasks or processes in this case are tasks or processes that are repeatedly executed according to a constant or indefinite period, a trigger designated in advance, or the like. Dynamically executing is, for example, dynamically executing under different conditions. The dynamically different conditions are conditions determined according to, for example, a time point when a task or process is executed, a user who executes the task, a trigger that executes the task, or the like. The information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes is, for example, information having information specifying a task or process and conditions used when the task or process is dynamically executed. The condition here is a concept including parameters and arguments set at the time of execution. Conditions used to dynamically execute tasks and processes include, for example, conditions for dynamically determining the period and due date for executing tasks and processes, and when executing tasks and processes. This is a condition for dynamically determining a setting value to be used. For example, in the work registration information, information specifying a task for outputting a screen for confirming a certain ledger and the date of the ledger used in the task are set to the month before the month including the date of executing the task. Information having a condition.

  Further, the work registration information may have one or more work conditions described above. For example, the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information may have one or more work conditions included in the work designation information. The work registration information may have at least a part of the work condition as one or more conditions constituting the execution condition. Further, the work registration information may have a combination of two or more of the information described above.

  The work registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with, for example, a work identifier that is information for identifying the work registration information. The work identifier is information such as a character string that can identify a task or a process corresponding to the associated work registration information or a work performed using the work screen, for example. The work identifier is an identifier having, for example, a work name, a work screen name used for the work, and the like. The work identifier may be a task name or a process name executed in the work. The work identifier is usually an identifier that allows the user to determine what kind of work the user is doing. The work identifier may include date and period information similar to the above-described work condition date and period information. For example, the work identifier may be information that combines a task name and information indicating the date of work using the task. The fact that the work registration information is stored in association with the work identifier may mean, for example, that a set of work registration information and work identifier is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. The work registration information having the identifier may be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102.

  The work registration information may be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with the user identifier. The user identifier stored in association with the work registration information is, for example, the user identifier of the user who performs the work corresponding to the work registration information. The user identifier stored in association with the work registration information is, for example, a user identifier of a user who performs work using a work screen corresponding to the work registration information. For example, the user identifier stored in association with the work registration information is the user identifier of the user who is a message destination for the work registration information. The association between the work registration information and the user identifier is the same as the association between the work registration information and the work identifier.

  The timing at which the user identifier is associated with the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 does not matter. For example, when work registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, a user identifier may be stored in association with the work registration information. Further, for the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, a user identifier associated with the work registration information may be accumulated later.

  The work registration information may be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with the user identifier of the user who performed the operation for creating the work registration information. The created user identifier is stored so as to be distinguishable from the user identifier of the user who performs the above-described work, for example.

  The work registration information storage unit 102 is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium. The same applies to other storage units.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires work registration information according to each piece of work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101. The work registration information storage unit 103 stores the acquired work registration information in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires screen designation information that designates a work screen that is a screen used for work designated by the work designation information received by the work designation reception unit 101, and has the acquired screen designation information. The work registration information is accumulated in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, when the work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101 includes screen designation information, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires the screen designation information included in the work designation information, and the work registration including the acquired screen designation information. Get information. In addition, when the work designation information includes information for designating a task or process, the screen designation information of the work screen used in the task or process is obtained from the information for executing the task or process. Also good.

  For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires and stores work registration information corresponding to the work conditions included in the work designation information. The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires, for example, work registration information that matches one or more work conditions included in the work designation information, and stores the acquired work registration information.

  For example, when the work designation information has a condition for setting one date as the work condition, the work registration information storage unit 103 specifies the date designated by the work condition of the work designation information on the work screen designated by the work designation information. Is updated with a date that satisfies the condition for setting one date of the work condition, the updated work screen data is stored in a screen storage unit (not shown), and the link information for this work screen is displayed as the screen designation information. May be accumulated. The work screen designated by the work designation information in this case may be stored in advance in, for example, a storage unit (not shown). In this case, a work screen template designated by the work designation information may be used instead of the work screen designated by the work designation information.

  For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 may acquire work registration information having all or part of the work conditions as the execution conditions described above. For example, when the work designation information has a condition for designating a date as a work condition, the work registration information accumulation unit 103 accumulates one or more work registration information having the condition for designating this date as an execution condition. Also good. The condition for designating the date is, for example, a condition for designating an invoice issue date or a condition for designating a date for checking the ledger. In this case, the screen designation information acquired by the work registration information storage unit 103 includes information such as a template having a place where a date satisfying the condition designating this date is arranged, and a date updated with a date satisfying this condition. It is the data of the arranged work screen.

  Also, for example, when the work designation information includes information for designating a task or process accompanied by screen output and a work condition that is a condition for designating a date or a period, the work registration information storage unit 103 stores the task or process. May be acquired and stored as work registration information having information for designating, and having the conditions indicated by the work conditions as execution conditions for executing tasks and processes.

  In addition, for example, the work registration information storage unit 103 sets a work condition for specifying work acquisition information, for example, a task used for work, data used for processing, or data to be arranged on a work screen, for example, a database. If it has, the work registration information having an execution condition that designates the data acquisition source as the data acquisition source may be acquired and stored.

  In addition, for example, the work registration information storage unit 103 has, as work conditions, the work designation information includes a query for acquiring data used for work, data used for processing, and data arranged on the work screen. Work registration information having this query as an execution condition may be acquired and accumulated.

  For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 may store work registration information in association with a work identifier indicating the work registration information. The work identifier indicating one piece of work registration information is, for example, the identifier of one piece of work registration information. The work identifier may be considered as, for example, an identifier for a task or process executed according to the work registration information having the work identifier or a work performed using a work screen output according to the work registration information. . The work identifier stored in association with the work registration information may be acquired from work designation information corresponding to the work registration information, for example. For example, the work identifier included in the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information is, for example, the work identifier included in the work designation information. In addition, the work identifier indicating the work registration information may be one information included in the work registration information or a combination of two or more pieces of information. Further, it may be acquired according to a rule specified in advance using one or more pieces of information included in the work registration information. For example, the rule designated in advance is a rule in which a work identifier is obtained by adding a serial number to one or more pieces of information included in work registration information. Further, it may be a work identifier created by rules designated in advance according to work designation information or information included in work registration information. The work identifier indicating the work registration information may be link information or address information to the data of the work registration information. The work identifier indicating the work registration information may be a character string related to the work corresponding to the work registration information, for example, a character string such as “Please issue an invoice” or “There is a product below the order point” .

  A combination of two or more pieces of information stored in association with work registration information may be considered as a work identifier stored in association with work registration information. The information stored in association with the work registration information may be information included in the work registration information. For example, information obtained by combining a work screen associated with work registration information or a work name associated with a task with information indicating a period or date of work indicated by the work registration information is considered as a work identifier. May be. The work identifier indicating the work registration information is a character string related to the work corresponding to the work registration information stored in association with the work registration information, for example, “Please issue an invoice” or “Products below the order point” The combination of a character string such as "there is a date" and the output date and creation date of the work registration information stored in association with the work registration information, the execution date of the work indicated by the work registration information, etc. is used as a work identifier. Also good.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 may store the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information in association with a user identifier indicating a user who performs a work corresponding to the work registration information. The user identifier associated with the work registration information in this case may be, for example, a user identifier that designates a user who performs a work included in the work designation information for acquiring the work registration information. In addition, the work registration information storage unit 103 may store the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information in association with the user identifier of the user who has input the work designation information. For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 may store work registration information having a user identifier, or may store a set of the user identifier and work registration information.

  The work registration information accumulating unit 103 may acquire one piece of work registration information or a plurality of pieces of work registration information according to one piece of work designation information. The plurality of pieces of work registration information here are, for example, work registration information for outputting different work screens. The plurality of pieces of work registration information acquired in accordance with one piece of work designation information is, for example, work registration information for outputting work screens used for repeated work. For example, one piece of work designation information is designated in advance for each month in the period, screen designation information for designating a work screen template used to create a pre-designated slip, a work condition for designating a period, and so on. The work registration information corresponds to each month within the period indicated by the work condition for specifying the period according to the work specification information. A plurality of pieces of work registration information having screen designation information included in the work designation information may be acquired. For the work registration information corresponding to each appendage, for example, it is designated that the value of each month is arranged in the field in which the month of the work screen of the slip created using the template that is the screen designation information is arranged. This is work registration information. For example, it is work registration information having an execution condition for designating an acquisition period of data to be arranged in a range from the first day to the last day of each month.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 may acquire and store work registration information having information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of work screens as described above according to one piece of work designation information. The work registration information having information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes with screen output as described above may be acquired and stored according to one piece of work designation information. For example, at least some of the work conditions included in the work designation information are stored in the work registration information as conditions for dynamically acquiring a plurality of work screens and conditions for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes. May be. For example, the work condition may be accumulated in the work registration information as an execution condition used for dynamically acquiring a plurality of work screens or dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes.

  In the message storage unit 104, a message for the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 and a user identifier of the user who is the destination of the message are stored in association with each other. The message is, for example, a message, information transmitted in the mouth, language, or symbol. The message is usually text data, but may be image data, audio data, or a combination of two or more of these. The image data may be a still image or a moving image. The message here may be stored in association with the title of the message, for example. Note that the title may be considered as a part of the message. The message may be stored in association with information indicating the message. The title associated with the message may be considered as information indicating the message. The message for the work registration information may be considered as a message for a work corresponding to the work registration information, for example, a work performed using a work screen output according to the work registration information. For example, the message for the work registration information is a message for requesting a work corresponding to the work registration information, a message for confirming execution of the corresponding work, or the like. The message destination may be thought of as the user receiving the message. The user identifier associated with the message is, for example, the user identifier of the user who performs the work corresponding to the work registration information corresponding to the message. The message destination user may be an individual or a group. The user identifier associated with the message may be included in the message. The user identifier of the message destination user is hereinafter referred to as a destination user identifier.

  A message for one piece of work registration information may be stored in the message storage unit 104 in association with the work identifier of the one piece of work registration information, for example.

  The message may be stored in the message storage unit 104 in association with the message creation date / time, accumulation date / time, or the like. The date and time here may be only the date or only the time. Further, the message may be stored in the message storage unit 104 in association with a message identifier which is a message identifier. The message identifier may be any information that can identify the message, and is, for example, information given by a rule designated in advance, for example, a serial number. The message creation date and time described above may be considered as a message identifier.

  The message for the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 may be a message for the work registration information that will be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 as a result. It may be a message for work registration information stored in the storage unit 102, or may be a message for work registration information immediately before or stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, at the same or substantially the same timing as one work registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, the message storage unit 106 or the like to be described later sends a message for this one work registration information to the message storage unit 104. However, a message corresponding to the work registration information already stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 may be stored in the message storage unit 104 later. When a message for one piece of work registration information is accumulated, the work registration information storage unit 103 associates the user identifier of the destination user of this message with the one piece of work registration information, and the work registration information storage unit It may be accumulated in 102. Further, the message stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 may be stored in association with a user identifier such as a user who has input the message via the message receiving unit 105 described later. Usually, the user who inputted the message and the user of the message destination are different users, but they may be the same user.

  There may be one or more messages associated with one piece of work registration information. One or more common messages may be associated with a plurality of work registration information. There may be one destination user identifier associated with one message, or two or more. For example, the message receiving unit 105 receives messages for two or more pieces of work registration information.

  The message accepting unit 105 accepts a message for the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, and user identifiers of one or more users as message destinations. For example, the message receiving unit 105 may receive a message for the work registration information that the work registration information storage unit 103 intends to store in the work registration information storage unit 102, and the work already stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. You may receive the message with respect to registration information.

  The message receiving unit 105 may receive a message title, a message identifier, information indicating the content and outline of the message, and the like for the received message. Note that the message title may be included in the message.

  The message reception unit 105 may receive a message for one piece of work registration information. For example, the message reception unit 105 sends a message in a state where one piece of work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, a work identifier of the work registration information, or the like is designated by a user or immediately after the designation. Is received, a message for this one work registration information is received.

  In addition, for example, when the message reception unit 105 receives a message before and after the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires the work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, a message corresponding to the work designation information Accept. Further, for example, when the message receiving unit 105 receives a message immediately after the work designation receiving unit 101 receives the work designation information, a message corresponding to the work registration information acquired according to the work designation information is received. Alternatively, after accepting a message, if one work registration information or one work identifier designation is accepted, the accepted message is a message for the one work registration information or the work registration information indicated by the one work identifier. You may make it treat as.

  For example, when receiving a message, the message receiving unit 105 may further acquire a work identifier corresponding to this message. When accepting a message is a concept including a case where an operation for accepting a message is performed, an interface screen for accepting a message is output, and a case immediately after accepting a message. Note that the message storage unit 106 to be described later may acquire a work identifier corresponding to this message when storing the message.

  When the message received by the message receiving unit 105 is a message for the work registration information that is associated with the user identifier of the user who performs the work and is already stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, the message receiving unit 105 The user identifier associated with the registration information may be acquired and accepted as a destination user identifier corresponding to the message. Alternatively, the message receiving unit 105 may receive a user identifier different from the user identifier associated with the work registration information corresponding to the message as the destination user identifier for this message.

  The message storage unit 106 stores the message received by the message reception unit 105 in association with the user identifier in the message storage unit 104. The user identifier here is a destination user identifier. The message storage unit 106 may store the message in the message storage unit 104 in association with the message creation time or the storage time. One or more destination user identifiers corresponding to one message may or may not match one or more user identifiers associated with the work registration information corresponding to this one message, Only some destination user identifiers may match.

  The message storage unit 106 associates the message received by the message receiving unit 105 with the message title further received with respect to this message, the identifier of the message, information indicating the content and outline of the message, etc. It may be stored in 104.

  The message storage unit 106 may further acquire the creation date / time and storage date / time of the message, and store the acquired creation date / time and storage date / time in association with the message. The message storage unit 106 may store the message in association with the message identifier. The message identifier may be any information that can identify the message, and is, for example, information given by a rule specified in advance, for example, a serial number or a message creation date and time.

  For example, the message storage unit 106 stores a work identifier indicating work registration information corresponding to the message in the message storage unit 104 in association with the message. For example, the message storage unit 106 stores a work identifier indicating work registration information corresponding to a message in the message storage unit 104 in association with the message. For example, the message storage unit 106 stores, in the message storage unit 104, the work identifier indicating the work registration information corresponding to the message acquired by the message reception unit 105 as described above for the received message in association with the message. May be.

  Note that the message storage unit 106 uses, for example, the destination user identifier received by the message reception unit 105 as the user identifier of the user who performs work corresponding to the work registration information corresponding to the message received by the message reception unit 105. The work registration information may be stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with the work registration information.

  For example, when the work registration information corresponding to the message received by the message reception unit 105 is already stored in the work registration information storage unit 102, the message storage unit 106 sets the destination user identifier corresponding to this message to the work registration information. You may accumulate | store corresponding to the work registration information corresponding to this message stored in the registration information storage part 102. FIG. When the message receiving unit 105 receives a message and a destination user identifier for the work registration information that the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires and stores, the message storage unit 106 displays the work registration information. The work registration information stored in the storage unit 103 may be stored in association with the received destination user identifier. In this case, the message storage unit 106 causes the work registration information storage unit 103 to store the received destination user identifier in association with the work registration information, thereby associating the destination user identifier with the work registration information. In such a case, the message storage unit 106 may consider that the work registration information stored by the work registration information storage unit 103 is stored in association with the received destination user identifier. Good.

  When the work registration information corresponding to the message is already associated with the user identifier of the user who performs the work, for example, the message storage unit 106 corresponds to the message with the destination user identifier received in association with this message. The user identifier of the user who performs the work corresponding to the work registration information to be added may be added, or the user identifier already associated may be updated, for example, overwritten by this destination user identifier.

  However, the message storage unit 106 may not store the destination user identifier in association with the work registration information corresponding to the message.

  The output instruction receiving unit 107 receives an output instruction. The output instruction is an instruction having one user identifier, and is an instruction for outputting a message associated with the user identifier from the message storage unit 104. One user identifier may be input from the user, or a user identifier registered in advance, a user identifier of the logged-in user, or the like may be read from a storage unit (not shown) or the like. Here, one user identifier is a condition for narrowing messages to be output to users indicated by the one user identifier, for example.

  The output unit 108 outputs information indicating one or more messages associated with the user identifier included in the output instruction among the messages stored in the message storage unit 104. The information indicating the message may be, for example, the message itself, a message title, a message identifier, information indicating the content or outline of the message, or the like, and one or more characters at the beginning of the message. Alternatively, it may be a character string such as a message thumbnail or a message summary. Further, the information indicating the message may be, for example, an icon or a button indicating the message. Further, the information indicating the message may be information having a message creation date and an accumulation date and time, for example, the time stored in the message storage unit 104 in association with the message. It may be used. Further, the information indicating the message may be a combination of two or more of these pieces of information.

  The information indicating the message may be information having a user identifier of the user who created the message. As the user identifier of the creator, for example, the user identifier of the creator stored in the message storage unit 104 in association with the message may be used.

  The output of information indicating one or more messages may be, for example, outputting a list of information indicating one or more messages, or outputting icons or buttons indicating one or more messages side by side. The list output of information indicating a message is, for example, output of a list screen of information indicating a message. For example, the output unit 108 outputs all the messages associated with the user identifier included in the output instruction or information indicating a part of the messages stored in the message storage unit 104.

  For example, the output unit 108 outputs information indicating a message in association with a work identifier indicating work registration information associated with the message. For example, a work identifier indicating work registration information associated with each message is associated with an item corresponding to each message and information indicating message in the output of a list in which messages and information indicating messages are arranged. Output. For example, the output unit 108 appropriately reads a work identifier indicating work registration information associated with each message and stored in the message storage unit 104, and outputs the work identifier in association with a message or information indicating the message.

  When the output unit 108 outputs information indicating a message, the information indicating the message indicates when an operation for specifying the information indicating the output one message is received via the operation receiving unit 109 described later. One message may be read from the message storage unit 104 and output. When the output unit 108 outputs a plurality of messages, when an operation for designating one output message is received via the operation receiving unit 109 described later, only this message is displayed, for example, enlarged. You may do it.

  When the output unit 108 outputs one message, a work identifier indicating work registration information corresponding to this message is output in association with this message, and a button or menu for accepting an instruction to output a work screen Items and the like may be further output.

  When the output unit 108 outputs one message, a work identifier indicating work registration information associated with the message is associated with a command, an event, or the like for outputting the work screen. Buttons may be output.

  Output here means display on a display, projection using a projector, printing on a printer, transmission to an external device, storage on a recording medium, processing results to other processing devices or other programs, etc. It is a concept that includes delivery. The output unit 108 may or may not include an output device such as a display or a speaker. The output unit 108 can be realized by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device. The same applies to the work screen output unit 110.

  The operation accepting unit 109 accepts an operation designated in advance for one message stored in the message storage unit 104. The operation designated in advance is hereinafter referred to as a work operation. For example, the work operation is an operation including an operation for designating one message stored in the message storage unit 104. The work operation may be an operation of outputting a work screen corresponding to work registration information corresponding to one message stored in the message storage unit 104, for example. The work operation is, for example, an operation in which the operation receiving unit 109 specifies one of the message output from the output unit 108 or information indicating the message. The work operation is, for example, an operation of designating an item corresponding to one message or information indicating a message from a list of two or more messages output from the output unit 108 or information indicating the message. The work operation is, for example, an operation of pressing a button for receiving an instruction to output the above-described work screen output by the output unit 108 together with one message, or an operation of selecting a menu item or the like for outputting the above-described work screen. It is. The work operation is a button output by the output unit 108 in association with a message, and a button for outputting a work screen associated with a work identifier indicating work registration information corresponding to the message. For example, a pressing operation.

  The work screen output unit 110 outputs a work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information indicated by the work identifier indicating the work registration information associated with the message that the operation accepting unit 109 has accepted the work operation. The message that accepted the work operation is, for example, a message designated by the work operation or a message indicated by information indicating the message designated by the work operation. Here, for example, even when a previously designated operation is performed on the above-described button or menu item associated with one message, it may be considered that a work operation has been accepted for one message. Good.

  The work screen output unit 110, for example, specifies an item in which one message or information indicating a message is arranged in a list output of information indicating two or more messages or messages output by the output unit 108 from the operation reception unit 109. When an operation (for example, click or tap of an item) is accepted, a work identifier indicating work registration information associated with the message of the item or information indicating the message is acquired, and the work registration information indicated by the acquired information Output the work screen according to.

  For example, when the work screen output unit 110 receives an operation of pressing a button or the like that is output in association with one message output by the operation reception unit 109 (for example, click or tap of an item), this message is displayed. The work identifier indicating the work registration information associated with the button, the work identifier indicating the work registration information associated with the button, and the work corresponding to the work registration information indicated by the work identifier indicating the acquired work registration information Output the screen.

  The work screen output unit 110 outputs, for example, a work screen specified by the screen designation information included in the work registration information indicated by the work identifier indicating the work registration information specified by the work instruction received by the operation reception unit 109. For example, when the screen designation information is link information or address information as described above, the work screen output unit 110 reads out information on the work screen stored in the location indicated by the link information or address information, Is output, for example, displayed. When the work screen is output, information may be changed, added, deleted, or the like according to conditions indicated by one or more work conditions included in the work registration information. When the information on the work screen is image information on the work screen, an electronic document, or the like, the work screen output unit 110 may output the work screen using the image information or the electronic document, for example.

  For example, when the screen designation information is information for designating a template, the work screen output unit 110 may output the work screen using information on the work screen generated by reading the template. Further, when the template is read and the work screen information is generated, the information may be changed, added, deleted, or the like according to one or more execution conditions included in the work registration information. For example, when the execution condition includes date information related to the work, a work screen in which the date information is arranged at a predetermined position of the template may be acquired and output. Further, a search or the like may be performed from a specified database using a query or the like included in the execution condition, and a work screen on which data acquired by the search is arranged may be acquired.

  For example, when the screen designation information is information for designating a task or process, the work screen output unit 110 executes the task or process by using a work condition or the like included in the screen designation information. A work screen such as an input screen may be output.

  In addition, when the work registration information to be output is, for example, information for dynamically acquiring and outputting a plurality of screens as described above, a plurality of tasks or processes are dynamically used under different conditions. The work screen output unit 110 dynamically acquires information used for the work screen according to the time when the output unit 108 outputs the information indicating the message, and the like. Using this information, a work screen acquired by updating the screen or template designated by the screen designation information or the like may be output. For example, when the work registration information is information having screen designation information for designating a template for an invoice and a condition for setting a date written in the template to the last day of every month, information indicating a message is output. The date of the last day of the month including the date may be acquired by using a calendar or the like (not shown), and the acquired value may be output by configuring a screen arranged in the column for inputting the date of the invoice of the template.

  Similarly, when the work registration information to be output is information for dynamically executing a plurality of tasks or processes as described above using different conditions, the work screen output unit 110 Depending on the time when the output unit 108 outputs information indicating the message, the task or process is executed using the dynamically acquired condition, and the work screen obtained in the execution of the task or process is output. It may be.

  As a result, the work screen output unit 110 may output a work screen corresponding to the work registration information corresponding to the designated message. For example, when the operation reception unit 109 receives an operation for designating one message, the work screen output unit 110 is a screen for confirming that the work screen is output according to the work registration information corresponding to this message. One or more screens having the option of outputting the work screen as an option are temporarily output, and on this screen or the like, an operation for agreeing to output the work screen or an output of the work screen is indicated. When an option is selected, a work screen may be output. In such a case, it may be considered that the work screen output unit 110 outputs a work screen corresponding to the work registration information corresponding to one message.

  Although not described in the present embodiment, the information processing apparatus 1 receives information, operations, and the like as appropriate from the user or the like via the work screen output by the work screen output unit 110. May be provided. Further, in accordance with the information or operation received by the receiving unit, a previously specified process or the like may be appropriately performed by a processing unit (not shown) as described above. Moreover, you may have the output part etc. which are not shown in figure which output the process result which this process part processed. Using the work screen output by the work screen output unit 110, for example, when the user inputs information, the work corresponding to the work screen can be performed. For example, when the work screen is an input screen for creating a form, a form can be created by inputting information on the work screen. In addition, when the work screen is a screen of a form to be confirmed by the user, an operation for outputting the work screen or an operation for inputting information indicating that the work screen has been confirmed is input to a reception unit (not shown). By doing so, it is possible to confirm the form.

  Note that the output unit 108 may further output a menu screen for operating the information processing apparatus 1, a processing result of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 1, and the like.

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 1 includes a processing unit that performs processing other than processing for storing work registration information and messages as described above, processing for displaying a message, processing for displaying a work screen, and the like. It may be. For example, this processing unit may execute a task or a process used for the work indicated by the above-described work registration information.

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

  (Step S101) The work designation receiving unit 101 determines whether work designation information has been received. For example, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives work designation information having work conditions and the like from the user. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S102. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S108.

  (Step S102) The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires one or more work registration information corresponding to the work designation information received in step S101. For example, the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires work registration information having screen designation information.

  (Step S103) The message receiving unit 105 acquires a work identifier indicating the work registration information acquired in Step S102.

  (Step S104) The message receiving unit 105 determines whether a message and one or more destination user identifiers have been received. The message received here is a message for the work registration information acquired in step S102. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S105. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S107.

  (Step S105) The message storage unit 106 stores the message received in step S104 and one or more destination user identifiers in the message storage unit 104 in association with each other. Here, the work identifiers acquired in step S103 are further stored in association with each other. Further, a message identifier such as a serial number is stored in association with each message. Further, the message storage unit 106 may store the message by associating the message creation date and time, the storage date and time, the user identifier of the input user, and the like.

  (Step S106) The work registration information storage unit 103 stores the work registration information acquired in step S102 in the work registration information storage unit 102 in association with the destination user identifier received in step S104. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S107) The message receiving unit 105 determines whether it is not necessary to receive a message. For example, it is determined whether or not an operation indicating that a message is not input from the user has been received. If the operation is received, it is determined that it is not necessary to receive the message. If it is not necessary to accept the message, the process proceeds to step S106. If not, the process returns to step S104.

  (Step S108) The output instruction receiving unit 107 determines whether an output instruction has been received from a user or the like. The output instruction accepted here is an output instruction having a user identifier. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S109. If not accepted, the process returns to step S101.

  If an output instruction is not received in step S108, a receiving unit (not shown) determines whether there is another instruction, and if another instruction is received, a process corresponding to the other instruction is shown. It may be executed by a processing unit that does not.

  (Step S109) The output unit 108 selects a message whose destination user identifier associated with the message matches the user identifier included in the output instruction received in Step S108, from among the messages stored in the message storage unit 104. To detect.

  (Step S110) The output unit 108 outputs a list screen indicating the message detected in step S109. For example, for each message detected in step S109, a set of a part of the message (for example, the first few characters of the message) and the creation date and time of the message is acquired, and these are included in the list items as information indicating the message Output each list screen. For example, each list item is output in association with the message identifier of the message corresponding to the list item.

  (Step S111) The operation reception unit 109 determines whether an operation for specifying information indicating one message of the output list screen, specifically, an operation for specifying one list item of the list screen has been received. To do. This operation is, for example, an operation of clicking or tapping one list item. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S112. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S115.

  (Step S112) The output unit 108 outputs a message associated with the information indicating the message specified in step S111. For example, a message identifier associated with information indicating the designated message is acquired, and the message indicated by the acquired message identifier is read from the message storage unit 104 and output.

  (Step S113) In response to the message output in step S112, the operation reception unit 109 determines whether a work operation for outputting the work screen indicated by the work registration information associated with this message has been received. . For example, when a button or the like output in association with a message is pressed, the operation receiving unit 109 receives a work operation for this message.

  (Step S114) The work screen output unit 110 acquires the work identifier associated with the message output in step S112 from the message storage unit 104, and stores the work registration information corresponding to the work identifier as the work registration information storage unit. The work screen detected at 102 and corresponding to the detected work registration information is output. For example, a work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the detected work registration information is output. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  In addition, after the work screen output unit 110 outputs the work screen in step S114, the information processing apparatus 1 appropriately executes processing such as input reception using the work screen or the like, processing using the received information, and the like. It may be. For example, after outputting a work screen, whether or not an instruction to perform work using the work screen (for example, a value input or output instruction) or other instructions such as work not using the work screen is received is illustrated. When the receiving unit or the like that does not perform determination and receives an instruction, a processing unit or the like (not shown) may execute a process according to the received instruction. And you may make it return to step S101.

  (Step S115) The output unit 108 determines whether to end the output of the list screen. For example, it is determined whether or not an instruction to end the output of the list screen is received from the user via a reception unit (not shown). If the instruction is received, it is determined that the output is to be ended. Alternatively, it may be determined that the output is to be terminated when a predetermined time has elapsed since the output of the list screen. When it ends, the process proceeds to step S116, and when it does not end, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S116) The work screen output unit 110 ends the output of the list screen. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S117) The work screen output unit 110 determines whether or not to finish outputting the message. For example, it is determined whether or not an instruction to end the output of the message is received from the user via a reception unit (not shown), and when it is received, it is determined that the output is to be ended. Alternatively, it may be determined to end the output when a predesignated time has elapsed from the output of the message. When it ends, the process proceeds to step S118, and when it does not end, the process returns to step S113.

(Step S118) The work screen output unit 110 ends the message output. Then, the process returns to step S110.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by powering off or a process termination interrupt.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information processing apparatus 1 in the present embodiment will be described. Here, a case where the information processing apparatus 1 is an apparatus that performs processing related to financial accounting will be described as an example.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a menu screen output by the work screen output unit 110 or the like of the information processing apparatus 1. In this menu screen, each item is represented by a button and is hierarchized. When one button is pressed using a touch panel, mouse, etc., the menu item in the lower hierarchy is displayed as a button on the right side. Is displayed. It is assumed that a button 31 for displaying a message list screen is arranged at the upper right of the menu screen.

  For example, on April 1, 2015, the user A inputs the user identifier “AcAdmin” and logs in to the information processing apparatus 1 to display the menu screen 30 of the information processing apparatus 1 as shown in FIG. Assume that the user selects one menu item or the like for displaying a screen for inputting a condition for creating a journal entry slip.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a first setting screen 40 (FIG. 4 (a)) for inputting the conditions of the journal entry slip to be output, and a diagram showing a second setting screen 41 (FIG. 4 (b)). is there. Each of the first setting screen 40 and the second setting screen 41 also receives various buttons, input fields, list menus, etc. for receiving one or more conditions that can be set when a journal entry slip is output. It shall be.

  When the user selects one menu item, the work screen output unit 110 or the like displays a first setting screen 40 as shown in FIG. 4A corresponding to the selected menu item. The first setting screen 40 is a screen for selecting the type of journal entry. In the first selection screen, the user performs an operation for selecting the type of journal entry, for example, an operation for checking a check box corresponding to one type of journal entry to be selected, and presses the “OK” button 40a. To do.

It is assumed that the user inputs conditions for the journalizing period and presses the execute button 41a.

  The work designation receiving unit 101 receives information input on the first setting screen 40 and the second setting screen 41 as work designation information. For example, the screen designation information that is the identifier of the work screen template corresponding to the type of journal selected on the first setting screen 40 is accepted as the screen designation information of the work designation information. This screen designation information is assumed to be “cost depreciation expense recording template”. This screen designation information is assumed to be associated with one check box selected by the user on the first setting screen 40, for example. In addition, the work designation receiving unit 101 receives the information on the total period input on the second setting screen 41 as the work conditions for the work designation information. Assume that the accepted total period is “April 2014-March 2015”.

  The work registration information accumulating unit 103 acquires work registration information using the work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101. Here, the screen designation information “cost depreciation expense recording template” of the work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101 is acquired as it is as the screen designation information of the work registration information. Further, the total period “April 2014 to March 2015”, which is the work condition received by the work designation receiving unit 101, is acquired as it is as the execution condition of the work registration information. Further, the work registration information accumulating unit 103 acquires a work identifier indicating the work registration information in accordance with a rule designated in advance. For example, a work identifier obtained by adding a serial number to a character string “siwake” designated in advance is acquired. Assume that the acquired work identifier is “siwake 302”. The acquired information is temporarily stored in, for example, a storage medium (not shown). The work registration information acquired here is, for example, work registration information for confirmation work of a journal entry slip, and is work registration information for outputting a journal entry slip screen to be confirmed as a work screen.

  When the work registration information storage unit 103 acquires the work registration information and the work identifier, the message reception unit 105 receives an input screen for receiving a message and a destination user identifier for the work registration information acquired by the work registration information storage unit 103.

The input screen includes an input field 51 for a message title, an input field 52 for inputting a message destination, and an input field 53 for inputting a message. In the destination input field 52, for example, one or more user identifiers of a plurality of users who can use the information processing apparatus 1 stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown) are input. The user identifier is, for example, an employee number.

  The user enters the title “Journal slip creation completed (accounting for depreciation)” in the input field 51 of the input screen 50 and the destination user identifier “U023, U024, U025” in the input field 52. In the input field 53, enter the message "The journal entry for depreciation expenses has been created. Please check the journal entry promptly. If you have any questions, please contact us." "Button 54 is pressed. The message receiving unit 105 receives the input message title, destination user identifier, and message. Further, the message reception unit 105 acquires the same date “2015/04/01” as the log-in date from a calendar or the like (not shown) as the date of message creation. Further, the message reception unit 105 acquires the work identifier “siwake 302” acquired by the work registration information storage unit 103 as described above.

  The message storage unit 106 associates the message received by the message receiving unit 105, the title, the destination user identifier, the creation date and the work identifier acquired above, and the user identifier “AcAdmin” of the user who has input the message, Accumulate in the message storage unit 104.

  FIG. 6 is a message management table for managing information such as messages stored in the message storage unit 104. The message management table has attributes of “ID”, “title”, “message”, “destination”, “creation date”, “work identifier”, and “sender”. “ID” is an identifier for managing a record (row) of information stored in association with one message. “Title” is the message title, “Message” is the message, “Destination” is the message destination, “Creation date” is the message creation date, and “Work identifier” is the work identifier of the work registration information corresponding to the message. . Here, it is assumed that a record including another message has already been stored, and the top record here is a newly accumulated record. “Sender” is the sender of the message, and here is the user identifier of the user who entered the message.

  The work registration information storage unit 103 acquires the destination user identifier received by the message reception unit 105, and associates the acquired work registration information and the work identifier with the destination user identifier in the work registration information storage unit 102. accumulate.

  FIG. 7 is a work registration information management table for managing information such as work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102. The work registration information management table has attributes of “work ID”, “screen designation information”, “execution condition”, and “work user ID”. “Work ID” is a work identifier. “Screen designation information” is screen designation information of work registration information, and here, it is assumed that it is a file name of a template stored in a storage unit designated in advance. The “execution condition” is an execution condition of the work registration information, and it is assumed that the attribute of the execution condition and the attribute value are separated by “:”. The “working user ID” is a user identifier of a user who performs work, and the destination user identifier received by the message receiving unit 105 is accumulated. When the user who performs the work is not limited, the “work user identifier” may be omitted. Here, it is assumed that a record including other work registration information is already stored, and the top record (row) here is a newly accumulated record. For convenience of explanation, the above execution conditions and the like are expressed using natural language, but the execution conditions and the like are, for example, one or more functions corresponding to these natural languages, method names, “if”, It may be configured with a control syntax indicated by “then” or the like. Further, the execution condition or the like may be an algorithm for performing determination processing corresponding to these natural languages.

  Here, after the user A logs out, the user B inputs the user identifier “U024” and logs in to the information processing apparatus 1. Then, if the menu screen 30 in FIG. 3 is displayed and the button 31 for displaying the message list screen is clicked or tapped, the output instruction receiving unit 107 receives an output instruction having the user ID “U024”. .

  The output unit 108 searches the message storage unit 104 illustrated in FIG. 6 for a record (row) in which the same user ID as the user ID “U024” included in the output instruction is included in the “destination”. Get attribute values of "title" and "creation date" of record. Then, the acquired “title” and “creation date” attribute value pairs are arranged as list items of message list display templates stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown) as information indicating messages. To create a message list screen. The “creation date” is replaced with a relative expression with respect to the current date, for example, “today”, “tomorrow”, “two days ago”, and the like. Each list item is associated with the “ID” of the record corresponding to the attribute value of “Title” to be arranged. Then, the output unit 108 displays the acquired list screen on a monitor (not shown).

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a message list screen displayed by the output unit 108. Here, the character string displayed in each list item is information indicating a message. In the list item 81 at the top of the list screen, for example, the attribute values of “title” and “creation date” of the record in the first line from the top of the message management table of FIG. 6 are arranged. It is assumed that “10036”, which is the “ID” of this record, is associated with 81.

  For example, in the list screen of FIG. 8, the user B has an attribute value of “title” of “Journal slip creation completed (accounting for depreciation)” on the first line from the top, that is, the title of the message If the arranged list item 81 is pressed, the operation accepting unit 109 accepts an operation for designating one list item 81 in the list screen.

  The output unit 108 acquires “ID” corresponding to the received list item 81 because the operation receiving unit 109 has received an operation for designating the list item 81. It is assumed that the acquired “ID” is “10036”. The output unit 108 reads the text of the message, which is the attribute value of “message”, from the record whose “ID” is “10036” in the message management table shown in FIG. A message screen is created by placing the message on a template for displaying the message and displayed on a monitor (not shown). This message screen is associated with “10036”, which is the above “ID”.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the message screen 90 displayed by the output unit 108. On the message screen 90, an area 91 in which a message is arranged, a “work execution” button 92 for executing a work corresponding to the message, and the like are arranged. The “execution of work” button 92 is associated with, for example, an instruction for outputting a work screen using work registration information corresponding to the displayed message.

  If the user B reads the displayed message and presses the “execute work” button 92 to perform an operation corresponding to the message, the operation reception unit 109 performs an operation associated with the displayed message. A work operation for outputting a work screen indicated by the registration information is received.

  When the operation accepting unit 109 accepts the work operation, the work screen output unit 110 acquires “10036” that is “ID” of the message associated with the displayed message screen 90, and the message shown in FIG. In the management table, a record in which “ID” matches “10036” that is the acquired “ID” is detected, and “siwake 302” that is the “work identifier” of the detected record is acquired. In the work registration information management table shown in FIG. 7, the “work ID” matches the acquired work identifier “siwake 302”, and the logged-in user who performed the operation in the “work user ID” Records (rows) having a user identifier that matches the user ID “U024” of the screen, the attribute value “cost depreciation expense recording template” of the “screen designation information” and the attribute value “execution condition” of the detected record “ “Aggregation period: April 2014 to March 2015” is acquired.

  The work screen output unit 110 uses the attribute value “cost depreciation expense recording template” of the acquired “screen designation information” and the file name is “cost depreciation expense recording template” from a storage unit (not shown) specified in advance. Read a template. Further, the work screen output unit 110 uses the acquired “execution condition” attribute value “aggregation period: April 2014 to March 2015”, for example, data specified in advance, such as a database specified in advance. From the data included in the data, the data whose creation date is in the range from April 2014 to March 2015 is detected, and the attribute values of the predesignated attributes of the detected data are aggregated. Then, the tabulation result and the like are arranged in the template read out as described above, and a journal screen for depreciation expense recording, which is a work screen, is created and displayed on a monitor (not shown).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a work screen by the work screen output unit 110. Note that this work screen is for convenience of explanation, and does not necessarily accurately indicate the journal screen for depreciation expense recording.

  In addition, instead of associating the message screen 90 with the “ID” corresponding to the displayed message, the work identifier corresponding to the message is associated, and when the work operation is accepted, A work identifier may be acquired.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, a message about work scheduled to be performed using the screen can be transmitted to the user who performs the work. As a result, for example, it is possible to request other users to perform the work or to transmit information regarding the work, and the work can be performed smoothly.

  Further, since the user can read the message about the work, for example, the user can receive a notification of the work to be performed and an explanation of the work content, and can perform the work appropriately. Further, by displaying messages in a list, the messages can be displayed in a list, and work to be executed can be confirmed collectively.

  In addition, a work screen corresponding to the message can be output from the message, and the work corresponding to the message can be performed smoothly.

  The work registration information storage unit 202 stores work registration information related to the work performed using the first application software in the work registration information storage unit 102 described above. Here, the work registration information related to the work performed using the first application software is referred to as first work registration information. For example, the work registration information storage unit 202 stores first work registration information having first screen designation information. The first screen designation information is screen designation information for designating a first work screen that is a screen used for work performed using the first application software. The work registration information storage unit 202 may be considered as a storage unit accessible by the processor. For example, the work registration information storage unit 202 may be a storage unit such as the hard disk 914 in FIG. Since other configurations are the same as those of the work registration information storage unit 102, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work registration information accumulating unit 203 acquires work registration information according to the work designation information received by the work designation accepting unit 201 in the work registration information accumulating unit 103, and uses the obtained work registration information as the first work registration information. This information is stored as work registration information regarding work performed using application software.

  Processing of the work registration information storage unit 203, for example, one or more pieces of work registration information are acquired according to the work specification information received by the work specification receiving unit 201, and the acquired work registration information is stored in the work registration information storage unit. Since the process stored in 202 and other processes are substantially the same as the work registration information storage unit 103 of the first embodiment, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The work registration information storage unit 203 may store first work registration information associated with an application identifier or the like for identifying first application software in the work registration information storage unit 202. Accumulating the first work registration information associated with the application identifier or the like may be accumulating a set of the application identifier or the like and the first work registration information. One piece of work registration information may be stored. The same applies to the case where second work registration information associated with an application identifier or the like, which will be described later, is accumulated. The application identifier is, for example, an application software name, a file name of an execution file of the application software, or the like. The application identifier of the first application software may be information such as a flag indicating the first application software. The application identifier of the first application software may be considered as the identifier of the first work registration information.

  The message storage unit 204 includes a first message that is a message for the first work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 202 in the message storage unit 104 and a user of the user who is the destination of the first message. An identifier is stored. For example, the first message is stored in the message storage unit 204 in association with the first work identifier of the first work registration information corresponding to the first message. The first work identifier is a work identifier of the first work registration information. The message storage unit 204 may be considered as a storage unit accessible by the processor. For example, the message storage unit 204 may be a storage unit such as the hard disk 914 in FIG. Since other configurations are the same as those of the message storage unit 204, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The message reception unit 205 includes a first message corresponding to the first work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 202 in the message reception unit 105 and a user identifier of the user who is the destination of the first message. It is intended to be accepted. Other configurations and the like are the same as those of the message receiving unit 105, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The message storage unit 206 stores the first message received by the message reception unit 205 in the message storage unit 206 in association with the user identifier of the user who is the destination of the first message in the message storage unit 204. It is what you do.

  For example, the message storage unit 206 may further acquire the first work identifier of the first work registration information corresponding to the first message, and store it in the message storage unit 204 in association with the first message. . Other configurations and the like are the same as those of the message storage unit 106, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Here, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that second application software different from the first application software can be executed by the same processor as a CPU or MPU that executes the first application software. For example, the second application software is stored in a storage unit such as a hard disk 914 such as a computer as shown in FIG. 19 to be described later, and is executed by a processor such as the MPU 911 and CPU shown in FIG. Further, here, by executing the second application software, it is possible to realize the same function as the information processing apparatus 2, for example, work related to work performed using the second application software It is assumed that registration information can be acquired and stored, or a message for the second work registration information, a user identifier of the destination of the message, etc. can be received and stored in association with each other. Here, the work registration information related to the work performed using the second application software is referred to as second work registration information. A message for the second work registration information is referred to as a second message. For example, the second work registration information is information having second screen designation information that is information for designating a second work screen that is a screen used for work performed using the second application software. It is acquired and stored by the same processing as the first work registration information. For example, the second message is a message associated with a second work identifier that is an identifier of the second work registration information corresponding to the second message.

  Here, the second work registration information acquired by executing the second application software is accumulated in, for example, a second work registration information storage unit (not shown) that can be accessed by the processor or the like. . In addition, the second message, the user identifier of the destination, and the like are stored in a second message storage unit (not shown) that can be accessed by the above processor, for example. For example, the second message is associated with a second work identifier that is an identifier of the second work registration information corresponding to the second message, and stored in a second message storage unit (not shown) described later. Stored. For example, the second work registration information storage unit and the second message storage unit may be storage units such as the hard disk 914 in FIG. The work registration information storage unit 102 and the second work registration information storage unit may be realized by a single storage unit. Further, the message storage unit 104 and the second message storage unit may be realized by a single storage unit. When accumulating the second work registration information acquired by executing the second application software, the second work registration information is associated with an application identifier or the like for identifying the second application software and stored in the second work registration information storage unit. You may make it accumulate. The application identifier is the same as described above. The application identifier of the second application software may be considered as the identifier of the second work registration information. The second application software is, for example, software similar to the first application software as described above. However, the first application software and the second application software are preferably different software.

  The output instruction accepting unit 207 is the same as the output instruction accepting unit 107 except that the output instruction is an instruction to output the first message and the second message. Is omitted. The output instruction here may be considered as an output instruction for the first application software.

  The output unit 208 includes the first message stored in the message storage unit 204 in association with the user identifier included in the output instruction received by the output instruction receiving unit 207 in the output unit 108, and the second application software And a second message that is a message corresponding to the second work registration information that is work registration information related to work performed using, and is a second message associated with the user identifier included in the output instruction. Information is output. For example, the output unit 208 associates the first message stored in the message storage unit 204 in association with the user identifier included in the output instruction and the user identifier (not illustrated) as described above in association with the user identifier included in the output instruction. Information indicating the second message stored in the two message storage unit is output. For example, the output unit 208 displays a list of information indicating the first message and information indicating the second message on a list screen or the like. The output unit 208 outputs the information indicating the first message and the second message associated with the user identifier included in the output instruction, and the output unit 108 is associated with the user identifier included in the output instruction. Since it is the same as the process of outputting a message, detailed description is omitted here.

  The output unit 208 may output the information indicating the first message and the information indicating the second message so as to be visually distinguishable. For visually distinguishable output, for example, output in a different display mode, for example, output in a different appearance may be considered. The visually distinguishable output includes, for example, information indicating a first message in which one or more combinations of character modifications such as character color, background color, font, thickness, and underline are different from each other, The information indicating the message is output to a screen such as a work list screen.

  It does not matter how the output unit 208 determines the information indicating the first message and the information indicating the second message. For example, when the information indicating the first message or the information indicating the second message is associated with the application identifier, the output unit 208 uses the application identifier to indicate the information indicating the acquired message. It is determined whether the information indicates the first message or the information indicating the second message. If the associated application identifier is that of the first application software, it is determined that the information indicates the first message. If the associated application identifier is that of the second application software, It is determined that the information indicates the second message. In addition, when the first message and the second message are stored in different storage units, the information indicating the message depends on the location where the message corresponding to the information indicating the output message is stored, It may be determined whether the information indicates the first message or the information indicating the second message. For example, if the location where the corresponding message is stored is the message storage unit 204, it is determined that the information is indicative of the first message, and if it is any other storage unit, the information is indicative of the second message. You may judge that there is. Whether the work identifier or work registration information corresponding to the message is the first work identifier or the first work registration information, or whether it is the second work identifier or the second work registration information. It may be judged.

  Since the other configuration and the like of the output unit 208 are the same as those of the output unit 108, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The operation reception unit 209 is configured to receive an operation designated in advance for one first message or one second message stored in the message storage unit 204 in the operation reception unit 109 described above. It is. The operation designated in advance for the first message or the second message is the same as the operation designated in advance for the message received by the operation accepting unit 109. Since the other configuration of the operation reception unit 209 is the same as that of the operation reception unit 109, the details are omitted here.

  When the operation reception unit 209 receives an operation designated in advance for one first message in the work screen output unit 110 described above, the work screen output unit 210 sets the first message as the first message. The first work screen designated by the first screen designation information included in the first work registration information indicated by the associated first work identifier is output, and the operation reception unit 209 outputs the first message as one second. When the operation designated in advance is received, the second application software is executed, and the second work registration information indicated by the second work identifier associated with the one second message has. The second work screen designated by the second screen designation information is output. As a result, when the message specified by the operation received by the operation receiving unit 209 is the first message, the work screen output unit 210 outputs the first work screen, and the specified message is In the case of the second message, the second application may be executed to output the second work screen, and the message specified by the operation received by the operation receiving unit 209 is the first message. Whether or not it is the second message or not may be determined.

  Similarly to the output unit 208, the work screen output unit 210 determines whether the information indicating the message specified by the operation is information indicating the first message or information indicating the second message. Also good.

  For example, the message specified by the operation accepted by the operation accepting unit 209, the work identifier or work registration information associated with the message, the first message, the first work identifier, or the first work In the case of registration information or the like, or when at least one of these is associated with the first application software or the like, the work screen output unit 210 adds a first work identifier or the like to the designated first message. The work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the first work registration information associated therewith is output. Further, for example, a message specified by an operation received by the operation receiving unit 209, a work identifier or work registration information associated with the message, the second message, the second work identifier, the second The work screen output unit 210 executes the second application software and is designated when at least one or more of these are associated with the second application software or the like. The work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the second work registration information associated with the message via the second work identifier or the like is output. The association with the application software may be considered to be associated with the identifier of the application software.

  When the operation received by the operation receiving unit 209 is an operation for specifying information indicating the second message, the work screen output unit 210, for example, specifies the specified second message for the second application software. An instruction for outputting the work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the second work registration information corresponding to the second message corresponding to the information indicated by is output. This instruction is, for example, information having a second work identifier associated with the designated second message. When the second application software receives this instruction, the second application software reads out the second work registration information designated by the instruction from a second work registration information storage unit (not shown) or the like, and reads the read second work registration. Output the work screen according to the information. For example, the work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the read work registration information is output. Further, when the second application software is not activated, an instruction to activate the second application software may be further output. The work screen output by the second application software, the template for creating the work screen, and the like may be stored in advance in a storage unit (not shown).

  The work screen output unit 210 outputs a work screen corresponding to information indicating the first message, or the second application software outputs a work screen corresponding to information indicating the second message. Is the same as the process of outputting a work screen corresponding to the information indicating the specified message by the work screen output unit 110, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The configuration and processing of the work screen output unit 210 other than those described above are the same as those of the work screen output unit 110, and detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the information processing apparatus 2 in the present embodiment. Here, the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2 indicate the same or similar processing. However, the processing performed by each unit of the information processing apparatus 1 in FIG. 2 is performed by each corresponding unit of the information processing apparatus 2 here.

  (Step S209) The output unit 208 has the destination user identifier associated with the first message out of the first messages stored in the message storage unit 204 in the output instruction received in step S108. A first message matching the user identifier is detected.

  (Step S210) The output unit 208 selects the second message stored in a storage unit (not shown) such as a second message storage unit in which the second application software stores the second message. The second message in which the destination user identifier associated with the second message matches the user identifier included in the output instruction received in step S108 is detected.

  (Step S211) The output unit 208 outputs a list screen showing the first message and the second message detected in steps S209 and S210. Here, the list item of information indicating the first message and the list item of information indicating the second message are output in a visually different manner so as to be visually distinguishable. Each list item is output in association with a message identifier of a message corresponding to the list item, for example. Further, for example, the application identifier of the second application software is associated with the message identifier corresponding to the second message. When the message identifier of the first message includes an identifier indicating the first message, or when the message identifier of the second message includes the identifier indicating the second message. If included, it is not necessary to associate an application identifier. Then, the process proceeds to step S111.

  (Step S212) The work screen output unit 210 determines whether or not the information indicating the message specified by the work operation received by the operation receiving unit 109 in step S113 specifies the information indicating the first message. If it is information indicating the first message, the process proceeds to step S213. If it is not information indicating the first message, that is, if the information indicating the second message is designated, the process proceeds to step S214. Whether or not the information indicating the specified message specifies information indicating the first message is determined based on, for example, the application identifier associated with the message identifier associated with the information indicating the message. It can be determined whether or not it is an application identifier of one application software, whether or not the message identifier associated with the information indicating the message indicates the first message, and the like.

  (Step S213) The work screen output unit 210 acquires the first work identifier associated with the first message output in step S112 from the message storage unit 104, and corresponds to the first work identifier. First work registration information is detected in the work registration information storage unit 102, and a work screen corresponding to the detected first work registration information is output. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  In addition, after the work screen output unit 210 outputs the work screen in step S213, the information processing apparatus 2 appropriately executes processing such as input reception using the work screen or the like, processing using the received information, or the like. It may be. And you may make it return to step S101.

  (Step S214) The work screen output unit 210 instructs the second application software to output an instruction to output a work screen corresponding to the second work registration information associated with the second message output in step S112. To send. For example, a second work identifier associated with the output second message, an instruction to output a work screen, and the like are transmitted to the second application software. Then, the process returns to step S101.

Hereinafter, a specific example of the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 13 is a second message management table for managing second messages stored in a second message storage unit (not shown). In FIG. 13, the same attributes as those in FIG. 6 indicate the same or corresponding attributes.

  FIG. 14 is a second work registration information management table for managing second work registration information stored in a second work registration information storage unit (not shown). 14, the same attributes as those in FIG. 7 indicate the same or corresponding attributes.

  Here, the message storage unit 206 performs the same processing as the specific example of the above embodiment, acquires the first message similar to the message managed in the message management table shown in FIG. Assume that the data is stored in the storage unit 204. Further, it is assumed that the work registration information storage unit 203 acquires the first work registration information similar to the work registration information management table shown in FIG. Further, the second application software performs a process similar to the process of acquiring the first message, acquires the second message as shown in the second message management table shown in FIG. 2 is accumulated in an accessible second message storage unit (not shown). Similarly, the second application software performs a process similar to the process of acquiring the first work registration information, and obtains the second work registration information as shown in the second work registration information management table shown in FIG. It is assumed that it has been acquired and accumulated in a second work registration information storage unit (not shown).

  Assume that the output instruction receiving unit 207 receives an output instruction from the user B whose user ID is “U024” on April 1, 2015, as in the specific example of the above embodiment.

  From the work registration information management table shown in FIG. 6, the output unit 208 responds to the output instruction, and in the “destination”, the same user as the user ID “U024” included in the output instruction, as in the above specific example. It is assumed that a record (row) including the ID is searched and attribute values of “title” and “creation date” of each detected record are acquired.

  Further, the output unit 208 is the same as the user ID “U024” included in the output instruction in the “destination” in the same manner as described above according to the output instruction from the second work registration information management table shown in FIG. Assume that a record (row) including a user ID is searched, and attribute values of “title” and “creation date” of each detected record are acquired. Then, the acquired set is arranged in a list on a template or the like designated in advance to create a message list screen. At the time of arrangement, for example, for the information set acquired from the second work registration information management table shown in FIG. 13, the background color is set to a different background color from the other sets. Then, the output unit 208 displays the created message list screen on a monitor or the like (not shown). Each list item is associated with the message identifier of the corresponding message.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the work list screen 150 output by the output unit 208. As shown in the figure, the menu item 151 in which the information indicating the second message is arranged can be visually distinguished from the menu item in which the information indicating the other first work registration information is arranged. Can be output.

  Here, if the user B performs an operation of clicking one menu item 151 in which information indicating the second message is arranged on the work list screen 150 using, for example, a mouse or the like, the output unit 208 acquires the message identifier “20120” associated with this list item 151, and displays the message that is the attribute value of “message” of the record whose “ID” in the message management table shown in FIG. The acquired message is placed in the same template as the screen shown in FIG. 9 and displayed on a monitor (not shown). The display screen is associated with the “ID” value “20120”. Further, since the arranged message is the second message, the application identifier “second” of the second application software is associated with this screen.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the message screen 160 displayed by the output unit 208. On the message screen 160, an area 161 in which a message is arranged, a “work execution” button 162 for executing a work corresponding to the message, and the like are arranged. For example, an instruction for outputting a work screen using work registration information corresponding to the displayed message is associated with the “work execution” button 162.

  If the user B reads the displayed message and presses the “execute work” button 162 in order to perform the work corresponding to the message, the operation reception unit 209 displays the work associated with the displayed message. A work operation for outputting a work screen indicated by the registration information is received.

  When the operation accepting unit 209 accepts a work operation, the work screen output unit 210 acquires “20120” that is the “ID” of the message associated with the displayed message screen 160. Since this message screen 160 is associated with the application identifier “second” of the second application software indicating that the arranged message is the second message, the work screen output unit 210 performs the above operation. “20120”, which is the “ID” of the acquired message, and an instruction to output a work screen corresponding to this message identifier are transmitted to the second application software.

  The message “ID” “20120” and the second application software that has received the instruction to output the work screen corresponding to this message identifier are “ID” in the message management table shown in FIG. A record that matches the acquired “ID” “20120” is detected, and “seikiyu 752” that is the “work identifier” of the detected record is acquired. In the work registration information management table shown in FIG. 14, the “work ID” matches the acquired work identifier “seikyu752”, and the logged-in user who performed the operation in the “work user ID” The record (row) having the user identifier that matches the user ID “U024” of the record is detected, the attribute value “invoice template” of “screen designation information” and the attribute value of “execution condition” “aggregation period” of the detected record : March 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015 ". Although omitted here, it is assumed that the execution condition includes a search condition other than the aggregation period. Then, data corresponding to the execution condition is searched from a database or the like (not shown), and the detected data is arranged in a template whose file name is “invoice template” to generate a work screen. Output. For example, it is displayed on a monitor (not shown).

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a work screen corresponding to the second message whose “ID” is “20120” by the second application software.

  When the list item of information indicating the first message is selected on the work list screen 140 shown in FIG. 14, the message identifier 150 is associated with the application identifier of the second application software. Therefore, the same processing as in the specific example of the first embodiment is performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, a message for work registration information acquired by other application software can also be output, and the message can be confirmed seamlessly. In addition, since work screens of other application software can be output from the output of messages, workability can be improved.

  In the first embodiment, the information processing apparatus may include an execution unit (not shown) that executes two or more application software such as the first application software and the second application software. . Further, the configuration and functions of the information processing apparatus 1 described above may be realized as functions independent of the first application software and the second application software, respectively.

  Hereinafter, a modified example in such a case will be described.

  The work designation receiving unit 101 of the information processing apparatus 1 receives work designation information from two or more application softwares. Receiving work designation information from one application software means, for example, accepting work designation information output from the application software by operating the one application software. The work designation information received from one application software may have an application identifier of one application software, for example. This also applies to the reception of other information such as messages from one application software.

  The work registration information accumulating unit 103 acquires work registration information according to each work designation information received by the work designation receiving unit 101, and accumulates the acquired work registration information in the work registration information storage unit 102. For example, work registration information that further includes an application identifier of application software that has input the work designation information is stored.

  The message receiving unit 105 receives a message and destination user identifier for work registration information stored in the work registration information storage unit 102 from two or more application softwares. The message received from one application software is, for example, a message relating to work performed using a work screen output by one application software.

  The message storage unit 106 stores the message received by the message reception unit 105 and the destination user identifier in the message storage unit 104 in association with each other. The message storage unit 106 may store the information in association with the application identifier of the application software that has received the information.

  The output instruction receiving unit 107 receives output instructions from two or more application software. When receiving an output instruction having a user identifier from one application software, for example, the application identifier of the one application software may be received together with the output instruction.

  The output unit 108 outputs information indicating one or more messages stored in the message storage unit 104 in response to the output instruction. For messages corresponding to different application software, for example, messages associated with different application identifiers, information indicating work registration information may be output in a visually different manner.

  The operation accepting unit 109 accepts an operation for designating one of the information indicating the message output from the output unit 108 from any one of two or more application software. For example, in a state where a user activates one application software, that is, in an operable state, an operation for designating information indicating one message such as a screen on which information indicating the message is arranged via the application software. When it is performed, the operation accepting unit 109 accepts an operation for designating information indicating one message from one application software.

  In the work screen output unit 110, for example, the work registration information corresponding to the message indicated by the information indicating the message specified by the operation received by the operation receiving unit 109 is the work registration information on the work screen of the application software that has received the operation. In some cases, this application software is executed to output a work screen designated by the screen designation information included in the work registration information. The processing for outputting the work screen designated by the screen designation information in this case is the same as in the above embodiment.

  When the work registration information corresponding to the message indicated by the information indicating the message specified by the operation accepted by the operation accepting unit 109 is not the work registration information for the work screen of the application software that accepted the operation, For example, if the application identifier associated with the message or work registration information is not the application identifier of the application software that has accepted the operation, the application software associated with the message indicated by the information indicating the specified message is executed, A work screen designated by the screen designation information may be output. In particular, when the application software associated with the designated message is not activated, the application software may be activated to output a work screen designated by the screen designation information.

  With the above-described configuration, it is possible to transmit messages about work performed using the work screens of the two application softwares, and to display a list of transmitted messages. Even if neither of the two application softwares has a function of registering work or transmitting a message, the work can be registered and the registered work can be displayed as a list.
