Further, a product (document) created by referring to the product (document) selected as a candidate is also selected as a candidate, and this can be repeated.
Here, the “business process” is one process (step, work, process, etc.) in the order in which the business is advanced. For example, in a product development business, a “request” process and a “design” process. There are processes, "mounting" process, "testing" process, and the like. More specifically, it may correspond to a step in the workflow management system.

  The past work selection module 110 is connected to the work progress management module 120. The past work selection module 110 selects a work process in the past according to the operation of the worker 199. Alternatively, the past work selection module 110 allows the worker 199 to select a work process to be referred to. For example, a work process is selected by an operation of the worker 199 using a mouse, a keyboard, a touch panel, a voice, a line of sight, a gesture, or the like. The worker 199 is a person who gives a search instruction for a document and obtains the search result.

The work progress management module 120 is connected to the past work selection module 110 and the reference relationship calculation module 150. The work progress management module 120 includes information on the progress of the process of the performed work (department in charge, start date and time (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, second or less, or combination thereof), The end date and time) is stored. For example, the job progress management table 300 is stored. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data structure of the work progress management table 300. The work progress management table 300 has a product column 310, a request column 320, a design column 330, a mounting column 340, a first stage test column 350, and a second stage test column 360.

The design field 330 stores the design process. The mounting column 340 stores the mounting process. The first stage test field 350 stores the first stage test process. The second stage test field 360 stores the second stage test process. The information indicating each process is composed of a department 312 in charge, a start date / time column 314, and an end date / time column 316. The department in charge column 312 stores the department in charge. The start date / time column 314 stores the start date / time. The end date / time column 316 stores the end date / time.

The work product storage module 130 is connected to the reference relationship calculation module 150 and the product display module 170. The work product storage module 130 stores a document that is a product of the executed process. Then, the access history (date and time, user) for the document is stored. For example, the work product management table 500 and the access history table 600 are stored.
FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data structure of the work product management table 500. The work product management table 500 has a document ID field 510, a document name field 520, a creator field 530, a creation date / time field 540, and a product field 550. In the present embodiment, the document ID column 510 stores information (document ID: IDentification) for uniquely identifying a document. For example, it may be a document name, or may be a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) indicating the location where the document is stored. The document name column 520 stores the document name of the document. The creator column 530 stores the creator of the document. The creation date / time column 540 stores the creation date / time of the document. The product column 550 stores information indicating in which process the document is a product. For example, FIG. 5 shows that the document “d0001” is a product in the “design” process of the business “product X” (a document created in the “design” process).

  FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data structure of the access history table 600. The access history table 600 has a log ID column 610, a document ID column 620, a user ID column 630, an access date / time column 640, and an access content column 650. The log ID column 610 stores information (log ID) for uniquely identifying a log (history) of an operation on a document in the present embodiment. The document ID column 620 stores the document ID of the document that is the operation target. The user ID column 630 stores the user ID of the user who has instructed the operation. The access date / time column 640 stores the access date / time when the operation was performed. The access content column 650 stores the access content of the operation.

  The user information management module 140 is connected to the reference relationship calculation module 150. The user information management module 140 stores the relationship between the department in charge and the user (information linking the department in charge and the user). The department is an example of an organization, and may be a company, department, section, group, or the like. For example, the user information management table 400 is stored. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the data structure of the user information management table 400. The user information management table 400 has a user ID column 410, a user name column 420, and an affiliation column 430. The user ID column 410 stores information (user ID) for uniquely identifying the user in the present embodiment. The user name column 420 stores the name of the user. The affiliation column 430 stores the affiliation of the user. This associates the department with the user. That is, the user information management table 400 makes it possible to extract the organization to which the user belongs from the user ID, and to extract the user ID that belongs to the organization from the organization.

The reference relationship calculation module 150 is connected to the work progress management module 120, the work product storage module 130, the user information management module 140, and the degree-of-association calculation module 160. The reference relation calculation module 150 extracts the first document which is the product in the first process selected by the past job selection module 110.
Next, the reference relation calculation module 150 extracts the second step based on the date and time when the first document is referred to and the organization to which the referent belongs. For example, the reference relation calculation module 150 includes the date and time when the first document is referred to in the period of the process, and extracts the process in which the organization is involved as the second process. The "process period" here is defined by the start date and time and the end date and time of the process.
Then, the reference relationship calculation module 150 extracts the second document which is the product in the second step.
Further, the reference relation calculation module 150 extracts the third step for the second document based on the date and time when the second document is referred to and the organization to which the person who referred to the second document belongs.
Next, the reference relation calculation module 150 extracts the third document which is the product in the third step.
In this way, the reference relationship calculation module 150 hierarchically repeats the process and document extraction.
Specifically, the reference relationship calculation module 150 extracts the document created in the executed process, identifies the process that referred to the document from the access history of the document, and identifies the document created in the process. Extract. This can be repeated.
Further, the reference relationship calculation module 150 may acquire the access history of a document across a plurality of document management systems (a plurality of work product storage modules 130). This allows related documents to be presented even if the referenced document exists in multiple document management systems.

  The degree-of-association calculation module 160 is connected to the reference-relationship calculation module 150 and the product display module 170. The relevance calculation module 160 calculates the relevance of a document according to the process hierarchy extracted by the reference relation calculation module 150. Specifically, the degree-of-association calculation module 160 associates the process selected by the past task selection module 110 with each document based on the document reference structure (hierarchy of processes extracted by the reference-relationship calculation module 150). Calculate the degree. For example, the degree of relevance of a document that is a product of the selected process is “1”. The degree of relevance of a document that is a product of a process that refers to a document having a degree of relevance “n” is “n + 1”. As a result, in addition to the product of the selected process, the product of the process that referred to the product can be presented according to the degree of association. Note that, here, an example is shown in which the degree of association indicates that the smaller the value, the higher the degree of association. As a matter of course, the degree of association may be set such that the larger the numerical value, the higher the degree of association.

The degree-of-association calculation module 160 may adjust the degree of relevance according to the number of steps extracted for one document. For example, if a document is referenced in multiple steps, adjust the document to have a stronger association. As a result, the reference frequency is reflected in the search result. Specifically, a value below the decimal point may be added to the degree of association “n”, or another evaluation such as ABC may be added to the degree of association n. That is, the degree of association “n” itself indicates the above-mentioned hierarchy, and the evaluation number may be added by the number of steps that refer to the document.
Further, the degree-of-association calculation module 160 may add the degree of relevance of each document calculated from the step of the business selected separately to the degree of relevance of each document calculated from the step of the selected business. .. This allows multiple steps to be selected to present the relevant deliverable document.

  The deliverable display module 170 is connected to the business deliverable storage module 130 and the degree-of-association calculation module 160. The deliverable display module 170 associates the document extracted by the reference relation calculation module 150 with the relevance degree calculated by the relevance degree calculation module 160 and presents it to the worker 199. As a matter of course, as the document, the document extracted in the first layer (the product in the process selected by the past job selection module 110) and the document extracted in the second layer and thereafter (extracted in the previous layer) Products produced in the process that referred to the document) are included. Note that the document may be presented as the document itself or as a link to the document. Further, the steps extracted by the reference relation calculation module 150 may be presented in association with the document. Note that the “presentation” may be printing on a printing device such as a printer in addition to display on a display device such as a liquid crystal display, or output of sound to a sound output device such as a speaker. Or a combination thereof.
