Description

The present invention relates to a server or the like that manages master data for sale.

2. Description of the Related Art In core systems such as POS registers and distribution systems, master data including information such as product names, sizes, and weights are used. Therefore, when dealing with a new product, it was necessary to prepare the master data of the new product.

When handling a new product, there was a problem that the burden of preparing the master data of the product was heavy. Moreover, if there is an error in the master data, it causes various troubles. For example, if there is an error in the number of cardboard boxes, the order quantity will differ from the expected quantity, and there is a problem that it will be necessary to return the product or place an additional order. In addition, if the product size is wrong (for example, if the size is wrong in centimeters and millimeters), there is a problem that the distribution warehouse, trucks, and store display space will be out of order. In order to avoid such a situation, high accuracy is required for the master data, and there is also a problem that the burden of checking to ensure the high accuracy is heavy.

Generally speaking, there has been a desire to reduce the burden associated with master data for sales, such as goods and services.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a server or the like that can reduce the burden associated with master data.

In order to achieve the above object, a server according to one aspect of the present invention includes a storage unit storing a plurality of master data having a sales object identifier that identifies a sales object and sales object information including a plurality of pieces of information about the sales object; and a receiving unit for receiving the master data and a transmission request including the sales target identifier, wherein the sales target information includes first information whose contents fluctuate greatly for each master data, and first information and second information having smaller fluctuations in content for each master data than the received master data. and a transmission unit for transmitting sales object information corresponding to the sales object identifier included in the.
With such a configuration, a person who has sent a transmission request can receive sales target information of master data created by another person, and can use the sales target information to create master data. Therefore, the burden of creating master data is reduced.

Further, in the server according to the aspect of the present invention, the transmitting unit selects the sales target information including the second information having the largest number of senders among the sales target information corresponding to the sales target identifier included in the received transmission request. You may send.
With such a configuration, it is considered that more accurate sales target information can be transmitted. Therefore, the person who sent the transmission request can easily create more accurate master data.

Further, in the server according to the aspect of the present invention, the transmitting unit transmits one or more sales object information different from the second information among the sales object information corresponding to the sales object identifier included in the received transmission request. 2 may be transmitted in association with the number of senders of the information.
With such a configuration, a person who has sent a transmission request can refer to the number of senders of the second information and consider which second information to use for creating the master data. For example, by creating master data using the second information transmitted by more senders, highly accurate master data can be created easily.

Further, in the server according to one aspect of the present invention, the second information of the comparison source included in the received master data and the sales target identifier included in the received master data in the storage unit are associated with the sales target identifier. Compare the second information of the comparison destination included in the target information, and obtain a comparison result indicating whether or not the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders of the comparison destination. A comparison unit may be further provided, and the transmission unit may transmit the comparison result.
With such a configuration, the person who sent the master data can receive the comparison result of the master data. You can improve the accuracy of your master data by checking for errors in By using the comparison result in this way, it is possible to separate the master data that requires detailed checking from the master data that does not, thereby reducing the load of checking the master data.

Further, in the server according to the aspect of the present invention, the comparison unit performs comparisons other than when master data is received, and the transmission unit performs comparisons other than when master data is received, in which the second information as a comparison source is When a comparison result is obtained that indicates that the second information is different from the second information of many senders to be compared, the comparison result may be transmitted.
With such a configuration, for example, even master data that is not subject to comparison, such as the first transmitted master data, can be compared after the fact.

Further, in the server according to one aspect of the present invention, in the storage unit, the master data is associated with a sender identifier that identifies a sender who has sent the master data, and the reception unit identifies the sender of the master data. A sender identifier for identifying the master data is also received, and the storage unit associates at least the second information of the received master data with the sender identifier for identifying the sender of the master data and stores the same in the storage unit. , the comparison result may be a score obtained by performing weighted addition for each sender identifier associated with master data including the same comparison destination second information as the comparison source second information.
With such a configuration, for example, a more appropriate comparison result can be transmitted to the person who transmitted the master data.

In addition, in the server according to one aspect of the present invention, in response to the transmission of the comparison result indicating that the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders of the comparison destination, it is received again. The weight of the sender identifier that identifies the sender of the master data may be greater than the weight of the other sender identifiers.
With such a configuration, the master data corrected according to the comparison result is considered to be highly accurate, so the weight can be set accordingly.

Further, in the server according to the aspect of the present invention, the storage unit stores weight information that associates the sender identifier with the weight, and in the weighted addition, the weight associated with the sender identifier by the weight information is: It may be used as a weight for the sender identifier.
With such a configuration, for example, a transmitter with a large amount of sales can be considered to have few errors in the master data, and a weight can be set accordingly.

Hereinafter, a server and an information processing method according to the present invention will be described using embodiments. In the following embodiments, constituent elements and steps with the same reference numerals are the same or correspond to each other, and repetitive description may be omitted. When receiving master data, the server according to the present embodiment transmits the comparison result between the received master data and the master data received in the past, and transmits the requested master data in response to a transmission request. It is something to do.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system according to this embodiment. In FIG. 1, the information processing system according to this embodiment includes a server 1 and a plurality of information processing devices 2 that are communicably connected via a wired or wireless communication line 500 . The communication line 500 may be, for example, the Internet, an intranet, a public telephone line network, or the like. The information processing device 2 is usually a terminal used by a retail company, a distribution company, or the like who uses the master data, and may be, for example, a smart phone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or the like. Although FIG. 1 shows a case where the information processing system has three information processing apparatuses 2, the number of information processing apparatuses 2 is not particularly limited. Since it is preferable that the master data is transmitted from more senders such as retail companies, the number of information processing apparatuses 2 is preferably larger, and may be four or more, for example.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the server 1 includes a storage section 11 , a receiving section 12 , an accumulation section 13 , a comparison section 14 and a transmission section 15 .

The storage unit 11 stores a plurality of master data. The master data is, for example, basic data regarding sales objects used in a core system such as a POS cash register or a physical distribution system. The sale target may be, for example, a tangible item or an intangible item. In the latter case, the sale target may be, for example, services such as provision of food and drink or provision of lodging. A tangible object for sale may be a product. Merchandise may be anything, such as food, daily necessities, electrical appliances, and books. In this embodiment, a case where the sales target is a product will be mainly described.

The master data has a sales object identifier for identifying a sales object and sales object information including a plurality of pieces of information regarding the sales object. The sale target identifier is not particularly limited as long as it is information that can identify the sale target. For example, it may be a JAN (Japanese Article Number) code or another identification code of the sale target. In this embodiment, for convenience of explanation, a case where the sales target identifier is information such as "ID00001" will be mainly explained.

The sale target information may include first information whose contents vary greatly from master data to each other, and second information whose contents vary less from master data than the first information. In this embodiment, this case will be mainly described. A large (small) content fluctuation means a large (small) content difference. It should be noted that whether the plurality of information included in the sale target information is the first information or the second information may be manually set in advance by the designer or the like.

Although the first information is not particularly limited, it may be, for example, a product name or description of the product. Generally, in POS cash registers, the number of characters that can be used for a product name is limited, so that various names are used for each company, and the contents fluctuate greatly. The first information can also be said to be subjectively determined information, for example.

Although the second information is not particularly limited, for example, any one of the product form (eg, case, pack, single item, etc.), ITF (Interleaved Two of Five), quantity, size, weight, last sale date, etc. It may contain the above information. Since the product form, quantity, size, etc. are determined objectively, there is usually no fluctuation in the content. The second information can also be said to be, for example, information relating to objectively determined attributes of sales targets.

In the storage unit 11, there may be only one piece of master data containing the same second information for the master data having a certain sales target identifier, or there may be a plurality of pieces of master data. In the latter case, for example, the received master data may be stored in the storage unit 11 as it is. In the present embodiment, the former case, that is, the case where there is only one piece of master data containing the same second information in the storage unit 11 with respect to the master data having a certain sales target identifier will be mainly described.

In the storage unit 11, the master data may be associated with information used to acquire the number of senders of the second information included in the master data. This information may be, for example, information indicating the number of senders, and a sender identifier that identifies the sender who sent the master data, that is, the sender who sent the second information included in the master data. may be In the latter case, the number of senders of the second information can be obtained by counting the number of sender identifiers corresponding to the second information. In this embodiment, the latter case will be mainly described. Note that the sender of the master data may be, for example, a company in the field of retail or distribution.

A plurality of pieces of information included in one piece of master data may be called corresponding information. For example, when information A and information B are included in certain master data, information B may be information corresponding to information A. More specifically, the sale target information included in certain master data is the sale target information corresponding to the sale target identifier included in the master data.

Information other than the master data may be stored in the storage unit 11 . As described above, the storage unit 11 may store sender identifiers and the number of senders in association with master data. Further, the storage unit 11 may store, for example, weight information. Weight information is information that associates sender identifiers with weights used in weighted addition, which will be described later. This weight information will be described later.

The process by which information is stored in the storage unit 11 does not matter. For example, information may be stored in the storage unit 11 via a recording medium, or information transmitted via a communication line or the like may be stored in the storage unit 11. The storage unit 11 may store the information input via the , or the storage unit 11 may store the information accumulated by the accumulation unit 13 . The storage unit 11 is preferably implemented by a non-volatile recording medium, but may be implemented by a volatile recording medium. The recording medium may be, for example, a semiconductor memory or a magnetic disk.

The receiving unit 12 receives master data. This master data may be transmitted from the information processing device 2, for example. The receiving unit 12 may receive, for example, one piece of master data, or may collectively receive a plurality of pieces of master data. This master data is the master data to be accumulated in the storage unit 11 and the master data to be compared by the comparison unit 14 . Note that the receiving unit 12 may receive, for example, master data and a sender identifier that identifies the sender of the master data. Both reception timings may be the same or may be different. For example, when the sender first logs into the server 1 using the sender identifier and then sends the master data, as in the latter case, the timing of receiving the master data and the sender identifier may differ. become. Also, the receiving unit 12 receives a transmission request including the sales target identifier. This transmission request is information requesting transmission of sales object information corresponding to the sales object identifier included in the transmission request. This transmission request may be transmitted from the information processing device 2, for example.

Note that the receiving unit 12 may or may not include a wired or wireless receiving device (eg, modem, network card, etc.) for receiving. Further, the receiving unit 12 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver for driving the receiving device.

The storage unit 13 stores at least the second information in the received master data in the storage unit 11 . Note that when master data and a sender identifier for identifying the sender are received, the storage unit 13 stores at least the second information in the received master data in association with the sender identifier. The data may be stored in the storage unit 11 with the data attached. The storage unit 13 may store the received master data in the storage unit 11 as it is, for example. In this case, for example, when 10 pieces of master data are received, the 10 pieces of master data are stored in the storage unit 11 . Further, the storage unit 13 stores, for example, the master data including the sales object identifier included in the received master data, the sales object identifier same as the second information, and the second information in the storage unit 11. If so, add a sender identifier identifying the sender of the received master data to one or more sender identifiers associated with that master data; otherwise, add a sender identifier identifying the sender of the received master data. The data may be stored in the storage unit 11 in association with a sender identifier that identifies the sender of the master data. In this case, for example, when 10 pieces of master data are received, 6 pieces of master data are stored in the storage unit 11 .

Further, the storage unit 13 converts, for example, the identifier for sale included in the received master data, the identifier for sale that is the same as the second information, and the master data including the second information into information indicating the number of senders. If the information indicating the number of senders is already stored in the storage unit 11 in correspondence, the information indicating the number of senders is incremented by 1. If not, information indicating the number of senders is added to the received master data. 1” may be associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 11. When a sender identifier is added or the number of senders is incremented, the first information of the received master data is not accumulated, but the second information is already accumulated. Therefore, the second information is substantially accumulated. In addition, the second information is important in the master data, and the first information is less important than the second information. may Also, for convenience of explanation, both the accumulation of the received master data itself and the accumulation of only the second information included in the received master data may be simply referred to as accumulation of the received master data.

For example, when master data relating to the same sales object is received multiple times from the same sender, the storage unit 13 deletes the previously received master data from the storage unit 11 and stores the newly received master data. Data may be accumulated. For example, when certain master data and a sender identifier are received, the storage unit 13 searches the storage unit 11 using the identifier for sale included in the received master data and the received sender identifier as search keys. However, when the master data and the sender identifier associated therewith are hit, the processing related to deletion of the hit master data may be performed. The deletion processing may be, for example, deleting the hit master data itself. It may be to delete the user identifier. Further, in the storage unit 11, if the master data is not associated with a sender identifier, but is associated with information indicating the number of senders, when updating the master data, the information processing of the sender is performed. Both the pre-update master data and the post-update master data may be transmitted from the device 2 . In this case, the storage unit 13 searches the master data stored in the storage unit 11 using the target identifier and the second information included in the master data before update as search keys, and finds the hit master data. The associated number of senders may be decremented by one. If the number of senders after decrementing becomes 0, the master data corresponding to the number of senders may be deleted.

It should be noted that normalization processing regarding the master data may be performed at the time of this accumulation. This normalization process may be, for example, a process of converting information included in the master data into information in a predetermined format. More specifically, when the size of the product, etc. is included in the master data, processing to align the units of the size (for example, processing to align to centimeters or millimeters) may be performed. is included, processing to align the units of the weight (for example, processing to align to kilograms or grams) may be performed. Determining whether or not the master data containing the sales target identifier included in the received master data, the same sales target identifier as the second information, and the second information is already stored in the storage unit 11, and comparison, which will be described later. Processing may be performed using, for example, normalized information.

The comparison unit 14 associates the second information as the comparison source, which is the second information included in the received master data, with the sales target identifier included in the received master data in the storage unit 11. compare the second information of the comparison destination, which is the second information included in the information on the sale target, and determine whether the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many of the senders of the comparison destination Gets the result of the comparison indicating whether Note that the number of senders may be, for example, a number of senders exceeding a predetermined threshold (eg, "10" or "20"), or a predetermined threshold (eg, 30%). , 40%, 50%, etc.). For example, when the number of senders of the second information of the comparison destination that matches the second information of the comparison source exceeds the threshold, the second information of the comparison source is the second information of many of the senders of the comparison destination. A comparison result indicating that the information is the same as the information of No. 2 may be obtained. Further, for example, the ratio obtained by dividing the number of senders of the second information of the comparison destination that match the second information of the comparison source by the total number of senders of the second information of the comparison destination exceeds the threshold. In this case, a comparison result may be obtained indicating that the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders of the comparison destination.

When the ratio of senders is used to acquire the comparison result, for example, the comparison unit 14 identifies the sales target identifier included in the received master data, and stores the identified sales target identifier in the storage unit 11. The total number of master data senders may be obtained. Obtaining the total number of senders may be performed, for example, by counting the number of sender identifiers associated with the master data containing the specified for-sale identifier. Next, the comparison unit 14 identifies the sales target identifier and the second information included in the received master data, and causes the storage unit 11 to transmit master data including the identified sales target identifier and the second information. Get the number of users. Obtaining the number of senders may be performed, for example, by counting the number of sender identifiers associated with the master data containing the identified sale target identifier and the second information. Then, the comparison unit 14 may calculate the ratio of senders by dividing the number of senders obtained by the total number of senders obtained. The total number of senders obtained as described above is the number of senders of the second information to be compared, and the number of senders obtained as described above is the number of senders of the second information to be compared. This is the number of senders of the second information to be compared that match the information.

In addition, for example, when obtaining a comparison result for master data received from a certain sender, the comparison unit 14 does not use the master data for the same sale item as the master data previously sent by the same sender for the comparison. may not be used for Specifically, when obtaining a comparison result for certain received master data, the comparison unit 14 identifies the sales target identifier included in the master data, and stores the identified sales target identifier in the storage unit 11. Identify the master data to be included, and if the identified master data is associated with a sender identifier that identifies the sender of the received master data, obtain the comparison result without considering the sender identifier You may Not considering the sender identifier may mean, for example, that the sender identifier is not included in the counting target when counting the number of senders.

If the result of this comparison indicates that the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders to which comparison is made, the master data containing the second information of the comparison source is: It can be determined that the information is accurate. Therefore, when the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders of the comparison destination, for example, a comparison result indicating correctness may be obtained. On the other hand, if the result of this comparison indicates that the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders to be compared, the master including the second information of the comparison source It can be determined that the data may not be accurate information. Therefore, when the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders of the comparison destination, for example, a comparison result indicating an error may be obtained.

In addition, the comparison unit 14 determines in advance the number of senders of master data containing the same sales object identifier as the sales object identifier included in the received master data (that is, the above total number of senders) in the storage unit 11. If it is less than the number (eg, "3" or "5"), it may be determined that the comparison is not possible. This is because accurate comparison cannot be performed when the number of senders corresponding to the second information to be compared is small.

The comparison result may include, for example, information indicating which master data the comparison result is for. For example, the comparison result may include the target identifier corresponding to the underlying second information, or may include the received master data itself including the underlying second information. may

When the transmission request is received by the reception unit 12, the transmission unit 15 transmits sales object information corresponding to the sales object identifier included in the received transmission request. The transmission destination of the sales target information may be, for example, the transmission source of the transmission request. For example, the transmission unit 15 may transmit only the sales target information, or may transmit master data including the sales target information and the sales target identifier corresponding to the sales target information. Even in the former case, the sender knows the vending identifier included in the transmission request sent by him/herself, so that, for example, the sender can compose the master data. Further, when a plurality of sales object information including the same second information corresponds to the sales object identifier included in the received transmission request, the transmission unit 15, for example, Only one of them may be transmitted. In this case, the one or more items of sale target information transmitted from the transmission unit 15 may include different second information. Of the master data, accuracy is required for the second information, and since the first information is appropriately set by the user of the master data, multiple variations of the first information are transmitted. because it is not necessary. The method of selecting sales target information to be transmitted from a plurality of sales target information including the same second information is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, random selection or selection according to a predetermined rule. (For example, among the plurality of sales target information, sales target information registered first, etc.).

Further, the transmitting unit 15 may transmit, for example, the sale target information including the second information having the large number of senders among the sale target information corresponding to the sale target identifier included in the received transmission request. By doing so, sales target information adopted by a larger number of senders will be transmitted, and sales target information with higher precision will be transmitted. Therefore, the person who sent the transmission request can easily create more accurate master data. When acquiring the number of senders for each piece of second information for information to be sold corresponding to a certain identifier for sale, for example, unique processing is performed for all of the second information included in the information for sale. , the number of senders for each second information may be obtained by counting the number of sender identifiers corresponding to each second information after the unique processing. Further, for example, when the master data stored in the storage unit 11 is associated with a plurality of sender identifiers, the number of senders, etc., the transmission unit 15 transmits The number of senders for each second information may be obtained by counting the number of sender identifiers or reading the number of senders.

In addition, the transmission unit 15, for example, transmits one or more pieces of sale target information that are different from the second information among the sale target information corresponding to the sale target identifier included in the received transmission request to the sender of the second information. You may transmit in correspondence with a number. In this case, when a plurality of sales target information are transmitted by the transmission unit 15, all the second information included in each sales target information are different. In this case, the person who sent the transmission request can decide which sales target information to adopt, for example, based on the number of senders associated with the sales target information. A person who has sent a transmission request may use, for example, sales target information associated with a larger number of senders as master data.

The transmission unit 15 transmits the comparison result acquired by the comparison unit 14 when the comparison result is acquired by the comparison unit 14 . The destination of the comparison result may be, for example, the source of the master data.

The transmission unit 15 may directly transmit the sales target information and the comparison result to the destination device or the like, or may indirectly transmit the information via a server or the like. Also, the transmission unit 15 may or may not include a transmission device (eg, modem, network card, etc.) for transmission. Also, the transmission unit 15 may be realized by hardware, or may be realized by software such as a driver for driving the transmission device.

Next, the operation of the server 1 will be explained using the flowchart of FIG.
(Step S101) The receiving unit 12 determines whether master data has been received. If the master data has been received, the process proceeds to step S102; otherwise, the process proceeds to step S105. The receiving unit 12 may receive a sender identifier that identifies the sender of the master data together with the master data.

(Step S102) The comparison unit 14 stores the second information of the comparison source included in the received master data and the same sales object identifier as the sales object identifier contained in the master data stored in the storage unit 11. The comparison result is obtained by comparing the master data with the second information of the comparison target included in the existing master data. Note that the second information included in the normalized master data may be the second information to be compared.

(Step S103) The transmission unit 15 transmits the comparison result acquired in step S102.

(Step S<b>104 ) The storage unit 13 stores the received master data in the storage unit 11 . Note that this accumulation may be, for example, accumulation in association with the received master data and the sender identifier, as described above. The received sender identifier may be added to the above sender identifiers, or the number of senders associated with master data stored in advance may be incremented. Also, master data after normalization processing may be accumulated. Then, the process returns to step S101.

(Step S105) The receiver 12 determines whether or not a transmission request has been received. If a transmission request has been received, the process proceeds to step S106; otherwise, the process returns to step S101.

(Step S106) The transmission unit 15 reads from the storage unit 11 the sales object information associated with the sales object identifier included in the transmission request received in step S105. As described above, all of the sales target information associated with the sales target identifier included in the transmission request may be read, or a part of the sales target information may be read.

(Step S107) The transmission unit 15 transmits the sale target information read out in step S106. Then, the process returns to step S101.
The order of processing in the flowchart of FIG. 2 is an example, and the order of each step may be changed as long as the same result can be obtained. In addition, in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the processing ends when the power is turned off or an interrupt for processing end occurs.

Next, the operation of the server 1 according to this embodiment will be described using a specific example. In this specific example, it is assumed that a plurality of pieces of master data shown in FIG. 3 are stored in the storage unit 11 in association with sender identifiers. The master data is information including a sale target identifier and sale target information. The sales target information includes first and second information. The first information includes, for example, a long product name, a medium length product name, a short product name, and the like. The second information includes, for example, product form, quantity, size, weight, and the like. Also, the first master data shown in FIG. 3 is associated with sender identifiers "U001, U002", etc., and the sender identified by the sender identifier is It is the sender who sent the master data with the included second information. The first information included in the first master data is the first information included in the first received master data among the master data including the second information. The first master data and the second master data in FIG. 3 are master data corresponding to the same sales object, but since the sizes included in the second information are different, they are stored separately in the storage unit 11. It is

Next, the person in charge of the company identified by the sender identifier "U201" operates the information processing device 2 to create master data for the sales target identified by the sales target identifier "ID00001". Assume that the sender identifier "U201" is transmitted to the server 1. Then, the master data and the sender identifier are received by the receiving section 12 of the server 1 and transferred to the storing section 13 and the comparing section 14 (step S101). Also, the receiving unit 12 passes the address of the transmission source of the master data to the transmitting unit 15 .

Upon receiving the received master data and the like, the comparison unit 14 searches the master data stored in the storage unit 11 using the target identifier “ID00001” included in the master data as a search key, and finds the hit master data. The included second information is specified as the second information to be compared. Further, the comparison unit 14 compares the comparison source second information, which is the second information included in the received master data, with the specified comparison destination second information, and compares the comparison source second information. It is determined whether there is second information of the comparison destination that matches the . In this case, it is assumed that there is no comparison destination second information that matches the comparison source second information. Then, the comparison unit 14 acquires a comparison result indicating that the second information as the comparison source is not the same as the second information of many senders as comparison destinations, and passes it to the transmission unit 15 (step S102). . Note that the comparison result may include the sales target identifier "ID00001" corresponding to the second information to be compared, or the received master data itself including the second information to be compared may be included. may be included. This is to make it possible to know which master data the comparison result is for.

Upon receiving the comparison result, the transmission unit 15 transmits the received comparison result to the address of the transmission source of the master data received in advance from the reception unit 12 (step S103). The transmitted comparison result is received and output by the information processing device 2 of the sender identified by the sender identifier "U201". According to the comparison result output in this way, the person in charge can visually inspect the master data containing the sales target identifier included in the comparison result and correct the master data.

Further, upon receiving the received master data and the sender identifier, the storage unit 13 associates the master data with the sender identifier and stores them in the storage unit 11 (step S104). At the time of accumulation, the accumulation unit 13 searches the master data stored in the storage unit 11 by using the sales object identifier "ID00001" included in the received master data as a search key, and searches for the master data stored in the storage unit 11. A determination is made as to whether any of the information matches the second information contained in the received master data. In this case, it is assumed that the second information of the hit master data does not match the second information contained in the received master data. Therefore, the storage unit 13 stores the received master data and sender identifier in the storage unit 11 as they are. As a result, it is assumed that the master data stored in the storage unit 11 are as shown in FIG.

Note that if the second information of the hit master data matches the second information contained in the received master data, the storage unit 13 stores the received master data among the hit master data. The master data is accumulated by adding the received sender identifier to the sender identifier associated with the master data containing the same second information as the second information contained in the data.

It should be noted that the person in charge who conducted the visual inspection corrected the quantity "10" included in the second information of the master data including the identifier for sale "ID00001" to "12" and sent it to the server 1 again. do. Then, in the same manner as described above, the master data and the sender identifier are received by the receiving unit 12 (step S101), and the second information that is the comparison source of the master data and the master data are stored in the storage unit 11. The comparison target second information associated with the included sales target identifier is compared (step S102). In this comparison, the second information associated with the received sender identifier "U201" shall not be the second information to be compared. Also, in this case, it is assumed that 53 sender identifiers are associated with the second information of the comparison target that matches the second information of the comparison source. Further, in this specific example, when 10 or more sender identifiers are associated with the second information of the comparison destination that matches the second information of the comparison source, the second information of the comparison source is It shall be determined to be the same as the second information of many senders to be compared. Then, in this case, the comparison unit 14 generates a comparison result including the fact that the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders of the comparison destination, and the identifier for sale "ID00001". is acquired and passed to the transmission unit 15. The transmission unit 15 transmits the comparison result to the information processing device 2 that is the transmission source of the master data (step S103). In this way, the person in charge of the company identified by the sender identifier "U201" can know that the corrected master data is satisfactory by looking at the comparison result.

Further, the corrected master data is accumulated in the storage unit 11 by the accumulation unit 13 (step S104). During this accumulation, the master data before correction is deleted and the master data after correction is accumulated. Specifically, the storage unit 13 reads out the sales target identifier from the corrected master data, and searches the storage unit 11 using the sales target identifier and the received sender identifier as search keys. As a result, the third set of master data and sender identifier shown in FIG. 4 is hit. Since only the sender identifier "U201" is associated with this third master data, the storage unit 13 deletes the set of the third master data and sender identifier.

Further, the storage unit 13 searches the master data stored in the storage unit 11 by using the sales object identifier included in the corrected master data as a search key, and stores the corrected master data as the second information of the hit master data. Determine if there is a match with the second information contained in the master data. In this case, assume that the second information of the first master data in FIG. 4 matches the second information of the corrected master data. Then, the storage unit 13 adds the sender identifier "U201" to the sender identifiers associated with the first master data in FIG. By this addition, accumulation of master data is performed.

Next, the person in charge of the company identified by the sender identifier "U301" operates the information processing device 2 to obtain from the server 1 the master data of the sales object identified by the sales object identifier "ID00001". , and a transmission request containing the sales target identifier "ID00001" is transmitted to the server 1. FIG. Then, the transmission request is received by the receiving section 12 of the server 1, and the sales target identifier included in the transmission request and the address of the transmission source of the transmission request are passed to the transmission section 15 (step S105).

Upon receiving the sales object identifier, etc., the transmitting unit 15 searches the master data stored in the storage unit 11 using the received sales object identifier "ID00001" as a search key, and obtains the sales object information contained in the hit master data. and the number of sender identifiers associated with the sales target information. Then, the transmitting unit 15 identifies a set having the largest number of sender identifiers among the sets, reads out the sales target information of the identified set from the storage unit 11, and receives the transmission request received from the receiving unit 12. It is transmitted to the address of the transmission source (steps S106 and S107). In this specific example, the first sales target information shown in FIG. 4 is transmitted to the information processing device 2 of the company identified by the sender identifier "U301". In this way, the person in charge of the company identified by the sender identifier "U301" can receive the sales object information of the sales object identified by the sales object identifier "ID00001", and by using it as it is, Alternatively, by changing a part of it (for example, product name), it is possible to easily create the master data of the sales target identified by the sales target identifier "ID00001". The created master data may be transmitted to the server 1 and compared with already stored master data, or may be stored in the storage unit 11 (steps S101 to S104). .

As described above, according to the server 1 according to the present embodiment, a person who has transmitted master data can receive the comparison result of the master data. The accuracy of the master data can be improved by checking for errors in the content if it differs from the sender's master data. In addition, for example, when the master data transmitted by oneself is the same as the master data of many other senders, it can be confirmed that the master data transmitted by oneself is accurate, and the master data can be used with confidence. In this way, the burden of checking master data is reduced.

Also, the person who sent the transmission request can receive the sales target information of the master data created by others, and can create the master data using the sales target information. Therefore, the burden of creating master data is reduced.

Note that the server 1 according to the present embodiment is not limited to the one described above, and various modifications are possible. A modification thereof will be described below.
[Comparison when not receiving master data]
In the present embodiment, the case where the master data is compared when the master data is received has been mainly described, but this does not have to be the case. Comparison of master data may be performed at times other than when master data is received. For example, in a situation where master data containing a certain sales target identifier is not stored in the storage unit 11, or is transmitted only from a small number of senders such as one or two companies, If master data is received, no proper comparison can be made on the received master data. Therefore, the comparison unit 14 may perform comparisons other than when master data is received.

Comparisons other than when master data is received may be made, for example, for all master data, or may be made for some master data. In the latter case, for example, in the comparison when the master data is received, since the number of senders corresponding to the second information of the comparison destination is small, when it is determined that the comparison cannot be performed, the second information of the comparison source Information such as a flag indicating that re-comparison is to be performed is set in the master data containing information, and only the master data for which information such as a flag indicating that re-comparison is to be set is compared other than when it is received. you can go In the comparison other than the time of reception, if the comparison with the second information of the comparison destination corresponding to the sufficient number of senders can be performed, the information such as the flag indicating that the re-comparison is to be performed is removed. , otherwise information such as its flags may be maintained. Comparisons other than upon receipt may, for example, be performed periodically (eg, once a month, once a week, etc.).

When a comparison result indicating that the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders of the comparison destination in the comparison other than the time of reception, the transmission unit 15 MAY send the result of the comparison. In this case, the sender who has sent the master data containing the second information that is the comparison source will later find out that the sent master data is different from the second information of many senders. can be known and the master data can be amended accordingly. In addition, when a comparison result indicating that the second information of the comparison source matches the second information of many senders of the comparison destination in the comparison other than at the time of reception, the comparison Results may or may not be sent. The destination of the comparison result in this case may also be the source of the received master data including the second information of the comparison source. In this case, for example, when the master data is received, the information of the sender may be stored in association with the sender identifier or the like.

[Comparison result as score]
The comparison result is, for example, a score corresponding to the number of senders associated with master data including the same comparison destination second information as the comparison source second information, or the number or ratio of sender identifiers. may When such a score is acquired, it is preferable that the master data is associated with the sender identifier of the sender who sent the master data and the number of senders in the storage unit 11 . This score may be, for example, the number of senders of the same comparison target second information as the comparison source second information itself, and may be the number of senders of the comparison target second information same as the comparison source second information. may be a ratio obtained by dividing the number of senders of the second information by the total number of senders of the second information to be compared.

Further, the comparison result may be, for example, a score obtained by performing weighted addition for each sender identifier associated with master data including the same comparison destination second information as the comparison source second information. . When such a score is acquired, it is preferable that the master data is associated with the sender identifier of the sender who sent the master data in the storage unit 11 . For example, when the number of sender identifiers associated with the master data containing the same comparison target second information as the comparison source second information is N, when weighted addition is not performed, for example, The score will be N. Here, N is an integer of 1 or more. Also, the score of one sender identifier is set to "1". On the other hand, for sender identifiers of senders whose master data is highly reliable, a more appropriate comparison result can be obtained by using a weight greater than 1 (eg, 2, 5, etc.). Therefore, a comparison result, which is a score obtained by such weighted addition, may be obtained. For example, if the above N sender identifiers include sender identifiers of senders whose master data is highly reliable, the score will be a value exceeding N (eg, N + M). good too. Here, M is an integer of 1 or more. Some examples of weights used in weighted addition are described below.

A sender that identifies the sender of the received master data again in response to sending a comparison result indicating that the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders of the comparison destination. The weight of the identifier may be greater than the weight of other sender identifiers. It is assumed that the master data received again was transmitted from the sender who received the comparison result. Note that this weight is a weight used only for obtaining a score when the second information included in the master data becomes the second information to be compared. The master data retransmitted according to the comparison result can be considered to have been retransmitted after confirming no errors by visual inspection, and can be estimated to be highly accurate. As such, a greater weight may be set for the sender identifiers of such master data senders. More specifically, for example, information such as a flag may be set in the storage unit 11 in the sender identifier received together with the master data rereceived in response to the transmission of the comparison result. Then, when obtaining a score by weighted addition, the comparison unit 14 may assign a greater weight to a sender identifier for which information such as a flag is set than to a sender identifier that is not. For example, while normal sender identifiers are given a weight of "1", sender identifiers set with information such as flags may be given a weight of "2" or "3".

Further, when the weight information is stored in the storage unit 11, the weight associated with the sender identifier by the weight information is used as the weight of the sender identifier in the weighted addition. may In this case, it is assumed that a larger weight is associated with the sender identifier of a sender whose master data is considered to be highly reliable. Note that, for example, the storage unit 11 may store the weight information for all sender identifiers, or the storage unit 11 may store the weight information for only some of the sender identifiers. In the latter case, a default weight (eg, "1", etc.) may be used for sender identifiers not associated with a weight by the weight information. In the former case, it is preferable that the storage unit 11 stores a plurality of pieces of weight information. or two or more. Note that the weight associated with the sender identifier by the weight information may be, for example, greater or less than the default weight.

For example, a greater weight may be associated with sender identifiers that identify senders from large or high-volume businesses. This is because such companies can spend more manpower and costs for master data management than small companies, and can prepare more accurate master data.

Also, for example, different weight information may be used for each field of sale. For example, in the food sector, a greater weight may be associated with sender identifiers that identify senders that are large food retailers. Also, in the field of medicine, a greater weight may be associated with sender identifiers that identify senders who are major drugstores.

Also, for example, the weight may be set according to the comparison result for each sender. For example, in comparison results of master data sent from a certain sender, there is a high percentage of comparison results indicating that the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders of comparison destinations. If so, the weight associated with that sender's sender identifier may be set to a high value. On the other hand, regarding the comparison result of the master data sent from a certain sender, the ratio of comparison results indicating that the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders of the comparison destination is high. If so, the weight associated with that sender's sender identifier may be set to a low value.

[Accumulation according to comparison result]
In the present embodiment, the case where the storage unit 13 stores all the received master data in the storage unit 11 has been mainly described, but this does not have to be the case. For example, when a comparison result indicating that the second information of the comparison source is different from the second information of many senders of the comparison destination for the received master data, the storage unit 13 may not store the received master data. Then, in response to the transmission of the comparison result, when the corrected master data or the same master data as before that has been confirmed as having no problem is received again from the same sender, the received master data Data may be accumulated. In this case, the master data retransmitted from the sender in response to the transmission of the comparison result may be associated with the retransmission. Then, the storage unit 13 may store the master data associated with the second transmission in the storage unit 11 regardless of the comparison result.

[Server for comparison]
In the present embodiment, the case where the server 1 transmits master data in response to a transmission request and compares the master data in response to reception has been mainly described, but this need not be the case. The server 1 does not have to transmit the master data in response to receiving the transmission request. In this case, the server 1 may be, for example, as follows. That is, the server 1 includes a storage unit 11 that stores a plurality of master data having sales object identifiers that identify sales objects and sales object information that includes a plurality of pieces of information about the sales objects, and a reception unit that receives the master data. 12, and an accumulation unit 13 for accumulating the received master data in the storage unit 11. The information to be sold includes first information whose content fluctuates greatly for each master data, and and second information whose contents fluctuate less for each master data. The second information of the comparison source included in the received master data and the sales target identifier included in the received master data in the storage unit 11 are associated with the sales target identifier included in the received master data. Compare the second information of the comparison destination included in the target information, and obtain a comparison result indicating whether or not the second information of the comparison source is the same as the second information of many senders of the comparison destination. The comparison unit 14 and the transmission unit 15 that transmits the comparison result may be provided.

[Other Modifications]
In the present embodiment, the case where master data is associated with information used for acquiring the number of senders of the second information included in the master data in the storage unit 11 has been mainly described. , or not. Such information may not be associated with the master data in the storage unit 11 . In this case, for example, when the master data is accumulated in the storage unit 11, the master data may be accumulated as it is. By doing so, for example, the number of hits when the master data stored in the storage unit 11 is searched using the sales object identifier and the second information included in certain master data as search keys can be specified. can identify the number of senders of the second information.
