FIG. 1 illustrates the functional configuration of the multifunction device 10 as an example of the information processing device according to the present invention. The multifunction device 10 is a multifunction device having functional elements such as a scanner 102, a printer, and a facsimile. However, the information processing apparatus according to the present invention does not necessarily have a built-in scanner, and the information processing apparatus may be capable of receiving and processing the image scanned by the scanner 102. In FIG. 1, among the functional elements of the multifunction device 10, only those having a strong relationship with the features of the present embodiment are shown, and those having little relation to the features of the present embodiment such as the printer function are omitted.

The scanner 102 optically reads a document set on a reading table or an automatic document feeder to generate document data.

The authentication unit 104 authenticates the user who intends to operate the multifunction device 10. The authentication method performed by the authentication unit 104 is not particularly limited. For example, any authentication method may be used, such as a method of accepting input of a user ID and password from a keyboard, a method of reading an identification card holding user authentication information, and the like.

The file registration unit 106 generates a file of document data obtained by scanning the scanner 102, and performs a process of registering the file in a predetermined (that is, predetermined) storage device on the network. At the time of this file generation and registration, the file registration unit 106 performs a known OCR (optical character recognition) process on the image of the scan result of the document, and generates a file name based on the character string information of the OCR result. , Give the file the file name.

The setting storage unit 108 stores various setting information to be referred to when the multifunction device 10 executes processing. In relation to the present embodiment, the setting storage unit 108 stores setting information related to the file registration process executed by the file registration unit 106. 2 and 3 show an example of setting information related to the file registration process.

FIG. 2 shows an example of setting information for each job type that involves file registration. This example illustrates the settings for two types of jobs, "invoice registration" and "quote registration". For example, a job of the type "invoice registration" scans a paper invoice with a scanner 102 and registers an invoice file containing image data obtained by the scanning in a specific storage location in a specific server ( It is a process to save). In this example, the storage location that is the "registration destination" of the invoice file of the scan result is "\\ fileserver \ billing" in the server with the distinguished name "fileserver" on the network to which the multifunction device 10 is connected. This is the directory indicated by the path "Book \". Further, in the illustrated example, ID (identification information) and password values are set as "authentication information" presented by the multifunction device 10 to the server or storage location for access authentication. That is, in this example, the multifunction device 10 is given an access right to access the server or the storage location, and holds the authentication information certifying the access right. In addition, the setting information of "invoice registration" includes a list of user IDs of notification destinations ("notification destination list") for notifying information regarding the registration when the invoice file of the scan result is registered in the storage location. included.

FIG. 3 shows an example of notification destination address information held in the setting storage unit 108. In this example, the notification destination address information is associated with the user ID of each user registered in the multifunction device 10, and the e-mail address of that user is registered. When a notification means other than e-mail is used, the address information of the user in the notification means is registered in the notification destination address information.

Although not shown, the setting information for each job type (see FIG. 2) represents a rule for generating a file name of a file containing the image data from the character recognition result of the image data of the scan result of the job type. Information (file name generation information) is included. The file name generation information indicates, for example, how and how the values of which items included in the standard document (invoice, quotation, etc.) whose job type is the target of scanning are combined to form the file name. For example, in the case of an invoice registration job, a character string of a date is extracted from the scanned invoice, and the character string of the date is added after the character string of "invoice" (for example, "invoice"). The character string "_20170415.pdf". However, there is a rule that pdf has a PDF (Portable Document Format) file extension)) as the file name. In addition, there have been various techniques for automatically assigning a file name of a file of the image from the scanned image by character recognition, and in the present embodiment, any of such prior techniques may be used.

Returning to the description of FIG. 1, the file name change processing unit 110 notifies the user of the file name given to the file generated from the scan result by the file registration unit 106. When the user receives a change instruction for the notified file name, the user accesses the storage location of the file and changes the file name of the file according to the change instruction. At the time of this access, the file name change processing unit 110 performs access authentication to the storage location using the authentication information included in the setting information for each job type illustrated in FIG.

The log management unit 112 records log data related to various processes executed by the multifunction device 10, and outputs the recorded log data according to an instruction from a user (for example, an administrator registered in the multifunction device 10) (for example, screen display). , Print output). The log management unit 112 records a log of a file registration process by the file registration unit 106 and a file name change process by the file name change processing unit 110, in addition to a log of a normal job such as copying or scanning.

The flow of the process of registering the scan result file and changing the file name of the file in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the following, the flow will be described by taking as an example a process of scanning an invoice with the multifunction device 10 and registering it in the file server 20.

The user who performs the registration work first inputs his / her own authentication information into the multifunction device 10 to receive login authentication. As a result, the multifunction device 10 recognizes the user ID of the user who is instructing the process from now on.

(1) Next, the user selects a job type called "invoice registration" from the menu displayed on the UI (user interface) screen of the multifunction device 10. Then, the invoice is set on the document reading table (or the automatic document feeder) of the multifunction device 10, and the start button instructing the start of the job is pressed. As a result, the scanner 102 in the multifunction device 10 scans the set invoice and passes the image data of the scan result to the file registration unit 106. After pressing the start button, the user may leave the multifunction device 10 to complete another task, and then return to retrieve the scanned invoice.

(2) The file registration unit 106 performs OCR (optical character recognition) processing on the image data received from the scanner 102, and from the character string information obtained by the processing, according to the above-mentioned file name generation information and the like. Generate a file name for image data. For example, the file registration unit 106 scans the invoice 200 illustrated in FIG. 5, recognizes the character string of the date 202 in the invoice 200, and names the file "invoice_20170415.pdf" according to the file name generation information. Give to the file. Then, a file containing the image data and having the file name is created. Further, the file registration unit 106 accesses the file server 20 of the "registration destination" defined in the setting information (see FIG. 2) of the invoice registration job, and receives access authentication using the authentication information in the setting information. .. Then, when the access authentication is successful, the file generated earlier is transferred to the file server 20 and registered in the storage location indicated in the "registration destination".

(3) The file registration unit 106 executes this invoice registration job by sending an e-mail (hereinafter, also referred to as "file name notification") notifying the file name of the file registered in the file server 20 in step (2). It is sent to the instructed user (also called the instructor or registrant) and each user included in the notification destination list in the setting information of the invoice registration job. The user receives the e-mail of the file name notification on his / her PC (personal computer) 30 and browses it. For example, in the notification destination list of the setting information about the job type, the business administrator who manages the business of the job type is registered, and the workers who are instructed to perform the scanning work by the business administrator are compounded. It is assumed that the invoice registration job is executed by actually using the machine 10. In this case, even if the worker (instructor or registrant) is not included in the notification destination list, the file name notification is sent to the worker's email address and also to the business manager who manages the invoice registration. Be done.

FIG. 6 shows an example of the body 300 of the file name notification e-mail. In the body 300 of the file name notification in this example, the date and time when the file was registered (registration date and time), the ID of the user who registered (registrant), the job type of the registration, and the storage location information of the file registration destination ( The registration destination) and the file name 302 are shown. In the registrant column, the user ID of the worker who registered the file is shown, and in the registration destination column, information that identifies the storage location of the registration destination of the file (in the illustrated example, the information on the network). The storage location path) is shown. Further, in the column of the file name 302, the file name given to the file is shown. Further, in the main body 300, guidance 304 of a method of instructing the change instruction to the file name change processing unit 110 is shown. In this example, two modification methods are shown. One is a method of accessing a file name confirmation web page provided by the file name change processing unit 110, and for this method, a URL 306 to the web page is shown. The other is to reply to the file name notification email, and for this method, write the correct file name at the beginning of the body of the reply email to the file name notification email and reply. Procedures are shown.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the file name confirmation web page 400 pointed to by the URL in the explanation of the first method in the guide 304. The file name confirmation web page 400 shows the registration date and time, the registrant, the job type, the registration destination, and the file name 402, as in the file name notification e-mail (FIG. 6). In addition, a message prompting you to confirm the file name and an alternative option 406 to express the confirmation result are displayed. In those options 406, the first option stating that the displayed file name 402 is confirmed to be correct, and the first option stating that the current file name 402 is incorrect and the file name is changed to the correct one. Two options are included. The second option comes with an input field 408 for entering the destination file name (ie, the correct file name) for the current file name 402, and the user enters the correct file name in this input field 408. .. Further, if the pull-down button 409 provided on the right side of the input field 408 is pressed, a list of other file name candidates requested when the file registration unit 106 determines the file name 402 from the character recognition result is displayed in a pull-down display. Then, the user can input the selected one in the input field 408. Each time the file registration unit 106 registers a file, the file name change processing unit 110 prepares a file name confirmation web page corresponding to the file, and sends a file name notification e-mail including the URL of the web page. Send to user.

Further, the body of the file name notification e-mail may include a list of other file name candidates requested when determining the file name 402 from the character recognition result.

Further, the scanned image data may be attached to the file name notification e-mail. Here, since it is highly possible that the user (registrant or instructor) who has operated the multifunction device 10 to register the invoice or the like has the paper document scanned by the multifunction device 10, the image data Attachment may be omitted. You may also switch the subject of the file name notification email depending on whether you send it to the registrant or to a user in the notification destination list. For example, the subject of the file name notification sent to the registrant shall include a message emphasizing that the registered file name should be confirmed, and the subject of the file name notification sent in the notification destination list is simply that the file was registered. The content should be to inform. Further, by including the same character string as the file name shown in the text in the subject, the registrant or the like may be able to quickly confirm the file name.

Returning to the description of FIG.

(4) The user who received the file name notification (for example, the worker who instructed the multifunction device 10 to execute the invoice registration job) can use the method (file name confirmation web page) shown in the file name notification (see FIG. 6). Instruct to change the file name by accessing (or replying to the file name notification, etc.). That is, the user accesses, for example, a file name confirmation web page, and inputs the correct file name as the destination file name in the web page. Alternatively, the correct file name may be returned in response to the file name notification.

The example of FIG. 4 is a case where the file name shown in the file name notification contains an error. On the other hand, if the file name is correct, the user who receives the file name notification may notify the file name change processing unit 110 of the file name confirmation notification indicating that the file name is confirmed as correct. To do this, for example, the first option may be selected on the file name confirmation web page 400 illustrated in FIG. 7, and the send button may be pressed. Further, when a blank e-mail (that is, an e-mail having an empty body) is returned to the file name notification, the file name change processing unit 110 may make an arrangement such as interpreting it as a file name confirmation notification. .. The file name change processing unit 110 that has received the file name confirmation notification in this way records the file name as confirmed and does not accept further change instructions.

(5) The multifunction device 10 (file name change processing unit 110) that receives the file name change instruction from the user's PC 30 changes the file name according to the change instruction. That is, the file name change processing unit 110 receives access authentication to a storage location on the network (for example, a specific directory in the file server 20) in which the change instruction file is stored, using its own authentication information. .. Then, when the access authentication is successful, the file name of the file for the storage location is changed to the file name of the change destination indicated in the file name change instruction.

(6) When the file name change is completed, the file name change processing unit 110 changes the file name to the user who is the sender of the file name change instruction and the user in the notification destination list (see FIG. 2). Send a change completion notification indicating that it has been completed.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the body 500 of the change completion notification e-mail. The body 500 of this e-mail indicates the date and time when the file name was changed (change date and time), the user who instructed the change (changer), and the changed file name 502. Further, in this text 500, as information for identifying the file subject to the change, the same registration date and time, registrant, job type, registration destination, and the same as those shown in the file name notification (see FIG. 6) are included. The file name (before the change) is shown. The information of the changer can be obtained by the file name change processing unit 110 performing user authentication to the user who has accessed the file name confirmation web page in step (4) above, or by sending a reply mail instructing the file name change. It is identified from the original email address.

Here, the file name change completion notification is illustrated, but when the file name confirmation notification is received from the user for the file name given at the time of registration and the file name is confirmed, the confirmation completion notification is sent to the user (and the notification). It may be sent to a user registered in the previous list). The confirmation completion notification may include information from the registration date / time to the file name 302 shown in the file name notification (see FIG. 6) and a message indicating that the file name 302 has been confirmed.

(7) The file name change processing unit 110 passes the log data of the file name change processing performed in step (5) to the log management unit 112, and the log management unit 112 records the log data.

Next, with reference to FIG. 9, an example of management information managed and referenced by the file name change processing unit 110 for the file name change process described above will be described.

One line of management information in FIG. 9 is a job for registering a scanned file in a storage location (invoice registration, quotation registration, etc.), changing a registered file name, and confirming the file name. Shows the management record generated each time it is executed. The management record for each job includes the date and time, job type, instructor, notification destination, registration destination, file name, file ID, and confirmation flag. The "date and time" is the date and time when the job was executed, and the "job type" is the type of the job. The "instructor" is the user ID of the user who instructed the execution of the job.

The "notification destination" is a user ID of a notification destination other than the instructor who has sent a notification indicating the execution result of the job. Notifications indicating the job execution results include file name notification (see Fig. 6) that indicates the result of the job that registers the file (invoice registration, estimate registration, etc.), and change completion that indicates the result of the job that changes the file name. There are notifications (see FIG. 8), confirmation completion notifications indicating the completion of the job for confirming the file name, and the like. In the "Notification destination" column, the user ID of each user included in the notification destination list (see FIG. 2) corresponding to the job is registered. In the example of FIG. 9, the file name notification indicating the result of the job for registering the file is sent only to the instructor, and the change completion notification or the confirmation completion notification indicating the result of the job for changing the file name or confirming the file name for the file is sent. Is an example in the case where the file name change processing unit 110 is set to send to the instructor and each notification destination in the notification list. That is, this example is an example in which the instructor is the worker who actually performs the work, and the user in the notification destination list is the administrator regarding the work (and the registered files). ..

Further, the "registration destination" and "file name" of the management record in FIG. 9 are the path of the storage location where the file that is the target of the job is registered, and the file that is given, changed, or confirmed by the job. The file name. The "file ID" is identification information that uniquely identifies the file that is the target of the job. Since the file name may be changed, the file name change processing unit 110 assigns a file ID to the file as file-specific identification information that does not change even if the file name is changed. This file ID is incorporated in the file name notification (see FIG. 2), and is also reflected in the user's instruction to change the file name or confirm the file name in response to the file name notification. For example, the file ID is incorporated in the URL of the file name confirmation web page in the guidance 304 of the main body 300 of the file name notification, and when the user clicks this URL, the file name confirmation web corresponding to the file ID is incorporated. The page is provided from the file name change processing unit 110 to the user's PC. In addition, the file ID is incorporated in the subject of the file name notification e-mail, and when the user replies to the e-mail to change or confirm the file name, the reply e-mail containing the subject is the file name. It is returned to the change processing unit 110. The file name change processing unit 110 identifies a file to be renamed or confirmed by the reply mail from the file ID included in the subject of the reply mail. Further, the "confirmation flag" in the management record is a flag indicating whether or not the file name is confirmed, the value "OFF" means that the file name is unconfirmed, and "ON" means that the file name is confirmed. Show that. In the management record of a job that registers a file in the storage location, such as an invoice registration job, the value of the confirmation flag is "OFF". On the other hand, since the file name is confirmed by the job of changing the file name or confirming the file name, the confirmation flag is set to ON in the management record for those jobs. For a file ID whose confirmation flag is set to "ON", the file name change processing unit 110 does not accept the instruction even if a file name change instruction for the file ID arrives thereafter.

In the top management record shown in FIG. 9, the invoice registration job is executed according to the instruction of the user "userA", and the scan result file is "\\" on the network with the file name "Invoice_2017041S.pdf". Indicates that it was stored in a directory called "fileserver \ Invoice \". The file name notification corresponding to this job is sent only to the user "userA". The file registration unit 106 manages the file with the file ID "abcdef". At this point, the value of the confirmation flag is "OFF". After executing the invoice registration job, user "userA" finds an error in the file name shown in the file name notification and files an instruction to change the file name to the correct file name "Invoice_20170415.pdf". It is sent to the name change processing unit 110. The file name change processing unit 110 searches the management table (see FIG. 9) for a record including the file ID "abcdef" included in the file name change instruction, and among the found records, a person whose confirmation flag is "ON" is found. Find out if there is one. In this example, since the file name is changed immediately after the invoice registration, the record containing the file ID "abcdef" exists only in the first row of the management table in FIG. 9, and the confirmation flag of the record is "OFF". is there. As a result, the file name change processing unit 110 determines that the file name corresponding to the file ID can be changed, accesses the file registration destination "\\ fileserver \ invoice \", receives authentication, and receives the registration destination. Change the file name of the file in "Invoice_2017041S.pdf" to "Invoice_20170415.pdf". This operation is recorded in the second row record of the management table of FIG. The job type of this record is "File name change", and the confirmation flag is set to "ON" according to this change. In addition, the file name change processing unit 110 sends a change completion notification indicating the result of this file name change to the e-mail addresses of the instructor "userA" and the "userB" and "userC" included in the notification list of the invoice registration job. Send. On the other hand, since there was no error in the file name given in the quotation registration job in the third row of the management table in FIG. 9, the user "userD" who instructed the job instructed the file name confirmation in response to the file name notification. To the file name change processing unit 110. The file name change processing unit 110 generates the record on the fourth line of FIG. 9 in response to the file name confirmation instruction. The file name "Quotation_20170416.pdf" and the file ID "bcdefg" in this record are the same as those in the record on the third line. In addition to the instructor "userD", the confirmation completion notification indicating the execution result of this file name confirmation job is also sent to "userB" included in the notification destination list of the quotation registration job. Further, the confirmation flag corresponding to the file ID "bcdefg" is set to "ON" according to the execution of the file name confirmation job.

In the above example, when the file name of the file is changed by the file name change job, the file name change processing unit 110 sets the confirmation flag corresponding to the file to "ON", but this is only an example. Absent. Instead, when the file name is changed, the confirmation flag is kept "OFF", the file name notification notifying the changed file name is sent to the user (instructor, etc.) again, and the file name notification is responded to. It may be possible to accept further instructions for changing the file name or confirming the file name from the user.

Although omitted in FIG. 9, the management record for the job that generated the file name by character recognition for the scan result, such as invoice registration, has one or more file names different from the finally selected file name. Candidate information is recorded. This information is provided to the user as a candidate for the change destination when the file name is changed.

Each time the file name change processing unit 110 completes the execution of a job such as invoice registration or file name change, the file name change processing unit 110 records a management record in the management table illustrated in FIG. 9 and logs the same information as the record. Pass it to unit 112. The log management unit 112 records the record received from the file name change processing unit 110 as log data.

Further, when displaying the recorded log data on the multifunction device 10 or a remote administrator's PC or the like, the log management unit 112 presents logs related to jobs having the same file ID in association with each other. For example, on the log data screen, a log at the time of file registration (for example, at the time of executing an invoice or estimate registration job) is displayed on behalf of multiple logs having the same file ID value, and the user can use this log. When the detailed display is instructed, another log having the same file ID (for example, a log of file name change) is displayed.

In the embodiment described above, even if the user who has performed the job by operating the multifunction device 10 does not have the access right to the storage location of the file generated by the job, the file is given to the multifunction device 10. If the file name change is instructed, the multifunction device 10 accesses the storage location with its own access right and changes the file name.

In the above example, the file name change processing unit 110 is provided in the multifunction device 10, but the file name change processing unit 110 may be mounted on a separate computer connected to the multifunction device 10.

The information processing mechanism in the multifunction device 10 illustrated above is realized by causing a computer to execute a program representing each of the above-mentioned functions. Here, the computer is, for example, hardware such as a microprocessor such as a CPU, a memory (primary storage) such as a random access memory (RAM) and a read-only memory (ROM), a flash memory, an SSD (solid state drive), and an HDD.
