2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known an order management system for corrugated board that receives image data of an order sheet containing order information and performs registration processing (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In the above Patent Document 1, a reception FAX comprising a FAX (facsimile) receiving means and a destination recognition means having an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) function for reading information such as a destination code from a FAX document received by the FAX receiving means. A management system is disclosed. The reception FAX management system automatically recognizes the recipient of the received FAX document from the FAX number of the sender, the information recorded in the FAX header, or the OCR function, and stores it in the image database. When displaying the received order FAX, the original image data is displayed on the right side of the screen, and the order data read by the OCR function is displayed on the left side of the screen. While appropriately enlarging and scrolling the image data on the right side of the screen, the operator confirms whether the order data on the left side of the screen has been entered correctly.

JP 2002-165076 A

Unlike general documents, input errors in order forms directly lead to erroneous orders, so it is necessary to prevent input errors as much as possible. For such order form registration processing, the reading of image data by the OCR function does not provide sufficient accuracy, and confirmation and correction work by the operator is indispensable.

However, in the receiving FAX management system described in Patent Document 1, the image data of the order form and the order data are displayed on the screen, and the operator confirms the displayed contents and corrects them. , It is common that multiple orders are written in one order form, and the human error that the operator misunderstands the input order information and other order information in the image data is suppressed. I have a problem that I can't. In particular, operators accustomed to the conventional method of reading order details from printed FAX paper and inputting them into the terminal are unfamiliar with reading the order form displayed on the screen, and when enlarging or scrolling, In this case, the order information being focused on moves on the screen, which is likely to lead to input errors due to mistaking it for other order information, or to miss incorrectly entered information.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and one object of the present invention is to effectively suppress human error in registration processing of order information based on image data of a received order form. To provide an order management system for corrugated board capable of

The information processing unit displays the identification mark at a position corresponding to the order information being input, and displays the identification mark at a position on the order form image data. It is configured to perform processing to hide the identification mark for the order information during non-input work that is being performed .

Order information is information that identifies the order details, such as product name, product number, product shape, product material, product quantity, product delivery date, product delivery location, etc., for products ordered by customers. be. The position corresponding to the order information during input work is the position adjacent to or overlapping the description part of the order information during input work, or the relative position relationship with other order information to distinguish the order information during input work. It is a broad concept that includes recognizable location. In addition, identification marks are icons, marks, lines, frames, colored parts, animations (blinking, gradation, etc.), etc., which are displayed on the screen to visually distinguish and recognize the target part from other parts. It is a broad concept including general.

In the order management system for corrugated board according to the first aspect of the present invention, as described above, the information processing section displays the order form screen displaying the image data of the order form and the order form screen displaying the input contents on the display section. Along with the display, processing is performed to display an identification mark at a position on the order form screen corresponding to the order information being input. As a result, when the operator performs input work (or check work) while looking at the order form displayed on the order form screen, the identification mark is used as a mark to perform the input work or check work of the order information currently focused on. be able to. Since the identification mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the order information being input, the operator can easily and reliably distinguish the order information being input from other order information written on the order sheet. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent input errors due to misreading order information and misses of erroneously input information. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress human error in the order information registration process based on the image data of the received order form. In addition, since the identification mark is displayed only at the position corresponding to the order information being input, it is possible to misunderstand the order information during input work even in an order form that may have multiple similar order information. can be recognized without

The order form is prepared in a format in which the order information for one order is displayed for each unit line, and the identification mark describes the order information being input. contains a line-shaped or frame-shaped image representing a row.
By configuring in this way, as in the first aspect, it is possible to effectively suppress human error in the order information registration process based on the image data of the received order form. In addition, when an order is processed for each unit line, the line being input is specified by the identification mark, so that the order information being input can be easily and reliably recognized. In addition, in the work of the conventional method, in which the order content was read from the printed FAX paper and entered into the terminal, misreading was caused by the operator touching the line (order information) of the FAX paper during the input work with a ruler. Suppression of taking was widely practiced. According to the above configuration, a line-shaped or frame-shaped identification mark similar to a ruler applied in conventional work is displayed on the order form screen. Convenience can be improved.

In the order management system for cardboard boxes according to the second aspect , preferably, the information processing section moves the display position of the identification mark on the order sheet screen to the next line when the registration of the order information for one item on the order screen is completed. It is configured to perform processing to cause With this configuration, when the registration of order information for one item is completed, the identification mark automatically moves to the next line. can be effectively suppressed.

In the order management system for corrugated board according to the second aspect , preferably, the information processing section inputs the first position coordinates of the order information on the first line in the image data of the order form, and the order information on the second line. An input of second position coordinates is received via the input unit, and an identification mark is displayed at a position corresponding to the order information being input based on the received coordinate information. Here, since the same customer places an order using the order form of the same format, the position of the first order information is specified based on the position of the first line of the order form. Then, the line spacing can be obtained from the difference between the position of the first line and the position of the second line. Based on the position of the first order information and the line spacing, it is possible to display the identification mark for the order information of any line after the third line. With regard to the above coordinate information, the operator simply inputs and registers the position of the first line and the second line of the order form in advance. An identification mark can be displayed at a position corresponding to the row.

The information processing unit is configured to perform processing for displaying an identification mark, and when receiving information input for an input item included in the order information on the order receipt screen, the information processing unit displays the inputted identification mark at a position corresponding to the identification mark on the order form screen. It is configured to perform processing for displaying information.
By configuring in this way, as in the first aspect, it is possible to effectively suppress human error in the order information registration process based on the image data of the received order form. In addition, by displaying the information input on the order receipt screen at the position corresponding to the identification mark, the input information can be immediately compared with the information written on the order sheet. Therefore, the operator can naturally check whether or not the information input by the operator during the registration process of the order information is correct, so that human error can be suppressed more effectively. In addition, since the entered information can be self-checked on the order form screen without alternately comparing the order form screen and the order form screen, the operator's workload can be effectively reduced.

The type selection button 61a on the order form screen 61 is a button for accepting a selection input of the type of the order information R described in the order form. Orders received include orders for case-shaped cardboard products and orders for sheet-shaped cardboard products. Case-shaped corrugated cardboard products are corrugated cardboard with required printing (company name, product name to be packed, etc.) and with notches and folding lines so that they can be assembled into a case. A sheet-like corrugated cardboard product is a corrugated cardboard in a sheet state before forming a folding line and cutting. The contents (items) of the order information R to be input differ according to the order type. When the person in charge of registration discriminates which type (case order, sheet order) the order belongs to from the order form, and selects and inputs the order type using the type selection button 61a, an input field corresponding to the order type is displayed on the order receipt screen 62. Is displayed.

The person in charge of registration inputs the order information R described in the order form to the order receipt screen 62 one by one while viewing the image data 50 of the order form. When the input of one piece of order information R is completed, the information processing section 33 (see FIG. 1) transmits the input order information R to the order registration management server 4 (see FIG. 1). The order registration management server 4 assigns and records an order number Ab (see FIG. 1) to the received order information R, and transmits the assigned order number Ab to the information processing section 33 . When receiving the order number Ab, the information processing unit 33 displays the order number Ab at the position of the order form screen 61 corresponding to the order information R (see FIG. 4), and performs the registration process for the order information R. Notify the Registrar that the registration has been completed. When the order number Ab is displayed, the information processing section 33 clears the order reception screen 62 and accepts the input of the order information R for the next one. In the example of FIG. 2, when the input of the order information R for the 1st to 8th orders is completed, the registration process for the order sheet is completed. When the registration work for all the order information R is completed, the person in charge of registration presses the completion button 61f on the order sheet screen 61. FIG. The information processing unit 33, which has received the input of the completion button 61f, notifies the order registration management server 4 that the registration processing of the image data 50 of the order form has been completed, and adds an unchecked flag to the order registration data 41a. to record. If the registration process is interrupted before the registration process of the image data 50 of the order form is completed, the order form screen 61 can be closed without adding an unchecked flag when the end button 61e is pressed. can be done.

Here, in the present embodiment, the information processing section 33 (see FIG. 1) places an identification mark 63 at a position on the order form screen 61 corresponding to the order information CR being input, as shown in FIG. It is configured to perform processing for displaying. The identification mark 63 assists the person in charge of registration to visually identify the description position of the order information R currently being input on the image data 50 of the order form displayed on the order form screen 61. This is a guide display for The identification mark 63 is displayed superimposed on the image data 50 of the order form. Hereinafter, for the convenience of explanation, among the order information R described in the image data 50 of the order form, the order information being input is referred to as "order information CR" and is distinguished by a different code.

The display form of the identification mark 63 is not particularly limited. For example, the identification mark 63 includes a line-shaped or frame-shaped image representing the line in which the order information CR being input is written. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the identification mark 63 is a linear image (guideline) representing a line in which the order information CR being input is written. That is, the information processing section 33 displays the order information below the line in which the order information CR being input is described (between the line in which the order information CR being input is described and the line below it). A process of displaying a guideline extending in the horizontal direction in the image along the line in which the CR is described is performed.

In this embodiment, the information processing section 33 is configured to perform a process of highlighting the identification mark 63 on the image information described in the image data 50 of the order form. Highlighting includes, for example, making the display color different from other displays in the image and dynamically changing the display mode. For example, since the image data 50 of the order form received by FAX is normally black and white image data, the information processing section 33 displays the identification mark 63 in colors other than white and black. The display color of identification mark 63 is, for example, red. In FIG. 2, for the sake of convenience, the identification marks 63 are hatched to express that the display colors of the identification marks 63 are different. Further, the information processing section 33 may perform processing such as blinking the identification mark 63 or changing the color over time.

Further, the information processing section 33 displays the identification mark 63 at the position corresponding to the order information CR in input work, and displays the identification mark for the order information R in non-input work included in the image data 50 of the order form. 63 is configured to be hidden. That is, instead of simultaneously displaying the identification mark 63 on each order information R (each unit line) included in the image data 50 of the order form, the identification mark 63 is displayed only for one order information CR during input work. display. The identification mark 63 is not displayed on the order information R before the input work or the order information R after the input work.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 , when information input for the input items included in the order information R is received on the order screen 62 , the information processing section 33 stores the input information at the position corresponding to the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 . It is configured to perform a process of displaying the information T obtained. The input information T is superimposed on the image data 50 of the order form and displayed (pop-up display). The position corresponding to the identification mark 63 is near the display position of the identification mark 63 and does not overlap with the description position of the order information CR being input. In the example of FIG. 4, the input information T is displayed below the identification mark 63 and adjacent to the identification mark 63 . More specifically, the information processing unit 33 places a It is configured to perform processing for displaying input information T. FIG. For example, in FIG. 4, when "300 (sheets)", which is the quantity information Rc of the third order information CR being input, is input on the order receiving screen 62 (input field 62c), The input information T (“300”) is located at the same horizontal position as the column of the quantity information Rc and adjacent to the lower side of the identification mark 63 (that is, the position immediately below the position where the input quantity information Rc is described). ) is displayed in a text box format.

Therefore, during the registration process, when the person in charge of registration inputs the product information Ra, delivery destination information Rb, quantity information Rc, delivery date information Rd, and remarks information Re included in the order information CR one by one, the information processing section 33 is input, the input information T is popped up in the form of a text box at a position immediately below the description position of each information.

When the entry of all items included in the order information CR is completed and the person in charge of registration confirms the entry of one order information CR, the order receipt number Ab is assigned as described above. The information processing unit 33 completes the registration process of one order information CR by displaying the assigned order number Ab at a position outside the description area of the same unit line as the order information CR being input. . In the example of FIG. 4, the order number Ab is located at the right end position outside the area where the order information R is described, but it may be located at the left end position.

When the registration of one piece of order information R on the order receipt screen 62 is completed, the information processing section 33 performs processing to move the display position of the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 to the next line (next unit line). is configured to For example, when the registration of the first order information R, which is the top line, is completed and the display processing of the order number Ab is performed, the information processing section 33 changes the display position of the identification mark 63 to the second item (second line). Move to the bottom of the order information R. In the case of the example of FIG. 4, since the input work of the order information CR of the third item (third line) is being performed, the next order information R of the fourth item (fourth line) is being input. As the order information CR, the identification mark 63 is moved to the lower side of the order information R on the fourth line.

As described above, the order form screen 61 and the order receipt screen 62 are used to register the order information R. FIG.

(Method of determining display position)
Here, a method of determining the display position of the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 will be described. In this embodiment, the information processing unit 33 acquires in advance the position information of the first line (first line) of the order information R in the image data 50 of the order form and the information of the interval between unit lines, and based on the acquired information, , the display position corresponding to the order information CR being input is determined, and the identification mark 63 is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 5, the information processing section 33 inputs the first position coordinates Q1 of the order information R on the first line and the second position coordinates of the order information R on the second line in the image data 50 of the order form. The input of Q2 is configured to be received via the input section 32 . The information processing section 33 is configured to display the identification mark 63 at a position corresponding to the order information CR being input based on the received coordinate information.

FIG. 5 shows the position coordinate input screen 64. As shown in FIG. The information processing unit 33 (see FIG. 1) causes the image data 50 of the order form to be displayed on the position coordinate input screen 64, and through the input unit 32 (see FIG. 1), identifies the order information R on the first line. The specification of the position where the indicator 63 should be displayed and the specification of the position where the identification indicator 63 should be displayed for the order information R on the second line are accepted. The position is specified by the person in charge of registration using, for example, a mouse, which is the input unit 32, and clicking with the pointer positioned at the specified position. The information processing unit 33 acquires the first position coordinates Q1 of the clicked designated position on the first line and the second position coordinates Q2 of the clicked designated position on the second line. Assuming that the vertical position coordinate of the image data 50 of the order form is the Y coordinate and the horizontal position coordinate is the X direction, the first position coordinate Q1 and the second position coordinate Q2 only need to specify the Y coordinate value. , the X coordinate value is arbitrary. The information processing section 33 temporarily displays the identification mark 63 at each of the acquired first position coordinates Q1 and second position coordinates Q2.

A position coordinate fine adjustment button 64 a can be displayed on the position coordinate input screen 64 . The information processing section 33 displays upward and downward fine adjustment buttons 64a at the position of the temporarily displayed identification mark 63 . When the person in charge of registration inputs (clicks) the fine adjustment button 64a using the input unit 32, the information processing unit 33 finely moves the display position of the identification mark 63 in the specified direction by one dot or several dots.

A line number input field 64b is also displayed on the position coordinate input screen 64 . The person in charge of registration numerically inputs the maximum number of lines included in the order form (maximum number of items of order information R). The information processing section 33 acquires the maximum number of lines for displaying the identification mark 63 based on the input value in the number-of-lines input field 64b. In the example of FIG. 5, the maximum number of lines is 10 lines.

In this manner, the information processing section 33 acquires the position information of the top line (first line) of the order information R in the image data 50 of the order form based on the first position coordinates Q1. The information processing section 33 acquires the line spacing in the image data 50 of the order form based on the first position coordinates Q1 and the second position coordinates Q2. The information processing section 33 shifts (offsets) the identification mark 63 downward by the line spacing when the order information R for the second and subsequent lines is input, thereby corresponding to the order information R for each line. An identification mark 63 is displayed at the position.

When the product information Ra, delivery destination information Rb, quantity information Rc, delivery date information Rd, and remarks information Re are entered, the position where the entered information T (see FIG. 4) is displayed is similar to the identification mark 63. can be set in advance. In this case, the information processing section 33 accepts designation of the description position of each input item via the input section 32 in response to the input operation of the guide setting button 61d on the order form screen 61 shown in FIG. The information processing unit 33 acquires the X coordinate position when the pointer is clicked for each input item. The information processing section 33 can acquire the coordinate information of the display position of the input information T based on the Y coordinate value of the identification mark 63 and the X coordinate value of each input item.

As mentioned above, the format of the order form is fixed, and the majority of customers create the order form by entering the order into the order form template or by handwriting the order on the template. There are not so many variations of order forms for each customer, and for example, 2 to 3 patterns, or at most 5 patterns, can be identified. Therefore, the corrugated board order management system 1 (see FIG. 1) of the present embodiment is configured so that a plurality of pieces of coordinate information are registered in advance and can be selected according to the type of template used by the customer. For example, the example of FIG. 5 shows an example in which three types of coordinate information of formats 1 to 3 can be registered for each customer in the format registration column 64c. Each piece of registered coordinate information is recorded in the order registration management server 4 (see FIG. 1) in association with orderer information R1 (customer number R11).

As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing section 33 (see FIG. 1) can accept a selection of which of the registered coordinate information is to be used by using the mark selection button 61b on the order form screen 61. FIG. The marker selection button 61b is displayed in the form of a pull-down menu, and the person in charge of registration can select one of the registered coordinate information (for example, forms 1 to 3). The information processing section 33 performs display processing of the identification mark 63 based on the selected coordinate information.

Therefore, when the order form screen 61 is displayed, coordinate information associated with the orderer information R1 (customer number R11) previously displayed in the input field 62g is automatically acquired. For example, when there is a plurality of pieces of coordinate information as in Formats 1 to 3, predetermined coordinate information registered as an initial setting (for example, coordinate information registered in Format 1) is obtained, and display processing of the identification mark 63 is performed. When the automatically acquired coordinate information (format 1) does not match the format of the image data 50 of the order form that causes the order form screen 61 to be displayed, the person in charge of registration operates the mark selection button 61b to , coordinate information that matches the format of the image data 50 of the order form is selected, and the display of the identification mark 63 is updated accordingly.

(Check processing of order data)
The corrugated cardboard order management system 1 has a function for checking the contents of the order received by another person in charge of checking the order registration data 41 a stored in the order registration management server 4 . That is, the information processing section 33 is configured to execute verification processing of the registered order information R. FIG.

In this embodiment, a plurality of types of verification processing are preset in the order management system 1 for corrugated board, and the type of verification processing to be executed can be selected according to the customer, order content, selection input, or the like. ing. Specifically, the corrugated cardboard order management system 1 is configured to be able to select a first verification process by inputting order information R multiple times and a second verification process by a check mark input method.

<First verification process>
The first verification process is a process of accepting a plurality of registration processes via the input unit 32 for the same order information R, and collating the received registration contents.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the registration process is performed twice, for example, after the order information R for one order sheet image data 50 (see FIG. 2) is input by the first registration person, the first A second registration staff different from the first registration staff separately inputs the order information R for the image data 50 of the same order sheet. Input of each order information R is performed by the same or separate information processing terminal 3 . The order registration management server 4 adds an unchecked flag to the order registration data 41a created based on the order information R received in the first registration process, and records the data. When the two types of registration contents input by the two registration processes completely match each other, the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a in the order registration management server 4 is rewritten to the check completion flag. On the other hand, if there is a portion that does not match the two types of registration contents that have been input through the two registration processes, the information processing unit 33 displays an error indicating that the registration contents do not match, and confirms and corrects the information with the person in charge of registration. encourage When the registration contents completely match due to the correction, the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a is changed to the check completed flag as described above.

When the first verification process is completed, the order confirmation image 70 is created. The order acknowledgment image 70 is an image of the order acknowledgment created based on the image data 50 of the order. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing unit 33, for the image data 50 of the order form, for all the order information R described in the image data 50 of the order form, the corresponding order number Ab At least the written order confirmation image 70 is created and stored in the order registration management server 4. - 特許庁

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8(A), a second image layer 52 containing order registration data 41a is superimposed on a first image layer 51 containing order form image data 50 to obtain an order acknowledgment image 70. is created. The first image layer 51 is a layer that includes only the image data 50 of the order form and records the original data of the order form.

The information processing unit 33 (see FIG. 1) is configured to acquire the positional coordinates (X coordinate value, Y coordinate value) of the characters on the image by recognizing the characters in the image data 50 of the order form. there is Further, by recognizing the characters on the image data 50 of the order form, the information processing section 33 also recognizes the blank area, which is the outer area of the writing area of the characters on the image data 50 of the order form.

The information processing section 33 (see FIG. 1) is configured to write the order registration data 41a in the second image layer 52 as text data, as shown in FIG. Specifically, the information processing section 33 writes the person-in-charge information Aa (person-in-charge name), the customer number R11, and the order number Ab in the order registration data 41a into the second image layer 52 . A plurality of order numbers Ab are arranged at positions (in the same line) adjacent to the order information R to which each order number Ab is assigned. In addition, in FIG. 9, the information recorded in the first image layer 51 is also illustrated with a dashed line for the sake of convenience.

The information processing section 33 is further configured to write receipt information 52a indicating that the order has been received in the second image layer 52 as text data. The receipt information 52a is, for example, the wording "Thank you very much for your order." The information processing section 33 is also configured to write the image data 52 b of the corporate seal of “AAA Co., Ltd.” to the second image layer 52 .

In this way, the information processing unit 33 writes the order confirmation number Ab and the receipt information 52a to the image data 50 of the order form as text data in the second image layer 52, as shown in FIG. to create The information processing section 33 is configured to store the order confirmation image 70 as the order confirmation image 70 in the image database 42 of the order registration management server 4 (see FIG. 1).

Note that in the order confirmation image 70, the first image layer 51 and the second image layer 52 can be displayed not only in a superimposed state but also individually by the viewer software. Even if the person in charge information Aa, the customer number R11, and the order receipt number Ab are superimposed on the characters of the order form in the order confirmation image 70 of FIG. It is possible to confirm the characters of 51 order forms (original).

<Second verification process>
In the second verification process, the person in charge of checking checks the order acknowledgment image 70 created based on the order registration data 41a, and checks the order acknowledgment image 70 with a check mark 53a (see FIG. 11) indicating that it has been checked. This is the process of recording in another layer of Therefore, when the second verification process is performed, the order confirmation image 70 shown in FIG. 10 is provisionally created before the verification of the order registration data 41a is completed.

In the second verification process, the information processing section 33 indicates that the order confirmation image 70 has been checked in addition to the first image layer 51 and the second image layer 52, as shown in FIG. 8B. A third image layer 53 including a checkmark 53a is superimposed.

Specifically, the information processing section 33 receives an input from a person in charge of checking other than the person in charge of registration, and causes the order confirmation image 70 to be transmitted from the order registration management server 4 to the information processing section 33 and displayed on the display section. The order confirmation image 70 is displayed on the order form screen 61 of No. 31 and the corresponding order registration data 41a is displayed on the order form screen 62 .

Then, the person in charge of checking checks the order registration data 41a by comparing the order registration data 41a displayed on the order reception screen 62 with the contents described in the order confirmation image 70. FIG. As shown in FIG. 11, the information processing unit 33 puts a check mark 53a on the item for which there was no problem in the check by receiving an input (clicking with a pointer) on the third image layer 53 by the person in charge of checking. It is configured to write to the 3-image layer 53 . The information processing section 33 is configured to write a check mark 53 a on each item in the order confirmation image 70 on the third image layer 53 . Further, the information processing section 33 is configured to write the person-in-charge information 53b (for example, the name) of the person in charge of the check into the third image layer 53 in response to the input of the person in charge of the check to the third image layer 53. . Note that the order registration data 41a may also be provided with a check box for writing that the check has been completed. In this case, the person in charge of checking checks the check boxes of the items for which there is no problem in checking.

As a result, the information processing section 33 creates an order confirmation image 70 including the third image layer 53, as shown in FIG. 8B. By hiding the third image layer 53, it is possible to obtain the order confirmation image 70 in which the check mark 53a is hidden. Check items to be entered in the third image layer 53 are set in advance. When the order acknowledgment image 70 in which check marks are entered for all check items is created, the order registration management server 4 rewrites the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a in the registration database 41 to the check completion flag.

As described above, when the recording of the order registration data 41a (the process of registering the order information R) is completed, and any verification process is completed, the order management system for corrugated board 1 (see FIG. 1) The created order confirmation image 70 is configured to be faxed to the customer who sent the order form. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, when the order registration management server 4 acquires a transmission instruction via the information processing terminal 3 when there is an order acknowledgment image 70 of the order registration data 41a in which the check completion flag is recorded, , based on the orderer information R1 recorded in the order registration data 41a, facsimile transmission is performed to the customer. When the order confirmation image 70 includes the third image layer 53, the third image layer 53 is hidden in the transmitted FAX data.

(Business flow)
Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the work flow in the order management system 1 for corrugated board will be described. In addition, below, the case where a 1st verification process is performed is illustrated.

12, the person in charge of registration accesses the order registration management server 4 from the information processing terminal 3, displays the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6), and selects unprocessed FAX data.

The received FAX list screen 60 shown in FIG. 6 includes a data display area 60a in which a list of received FAX data is displayed in a selectable manner. The person in charge of registration selects one piece of unprocessed FAX data from among the FAX data received from the customer in charge in the data display area 60a. Unprocessed FAX data is displayed as "unprocessed" in the "status" column 60e of the received FAX data. In the order registration management server 4, the FAX data that is being registered in any of the information processing terminals 3 is displayed as "medium" indicating that it is being registered, and access from the other information processing terminals 3 is prohibited. is restricted. Therefore, it is possible to avoid simultaneous registration processing by different information processing terminals 3 for the same order form.

The image data 50 of the selected unprocessed order form is displayed in the image display area 60b on the screen. When performing the registration process for the image data 50 of the displayed order form, the person in charge of registration inputs the enlargement display button 60c for either "expand to left" or "expand to right" to perform the registration process. transition to the display to be performed. When the enlarge display button 60c for "expand to left" is pressed, the order form screen 61 is arranged on the left side of the display area as shown in FIG. 2, and the image data 50 of the order form is enlarged and displayed.

In either case, an order form screen 62 with a reduced size is displayed on the side opposite to the order form screen 61 .

In the received FAX list screen 60, it is possible to select the FAX data for which order reception processing has been completed, and transition to a full-size order reception screen 62 (see FIG. 3). In the filter setting section 60d, it is possible to perform filtering for narrowing down the range of received FAX data to be displayed in the data display area 60a based on the date of reception. Also, in the filter setting section 60d, search conditions such as "customer", "status", "order date", "order order number" are input, and only the received FAX data corresponding to the search conditions are displayed in the data display area 60a. can be displayed.

In work W2 of FIG. 12, the person in charge of registration performs registration processing of the order information R described in the image data 50 of the order form displayed on the order form screen 61 (see FIG. 2). In FIG. 2, the person in charge of registration operates the input unit 32 (see FIG. 1) to input the order information R indicated by the identification mark 63 displayed on the order form screen 61 one by one (one line). . When the input of all the order information R described in the image data 50 of the order form is completed, and the order number Ab (see FIG. 4) is assigned and displayed for all the order information R, the input is completed. The registration database 41 adds an unchecked flag to the order registration data 41a received in the first registration process and records the data.

Verification processing is performed in work W3 and work W4 in FIG. That is, a second person in charge of registration (person in charge of checking) who is different from the first person in charge of registration in work W2 performs the work of verifying the registered contents.

In task W3, the second person in charge of registration accesses the order registration management server 4 from the information processing terminal 3 and displays the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6). On the received FAX list screen 60, one FAX data with an unchecked flag is selected from the received FAX data from the customer in charge. FAX data to which an unchecked flag is added indicates that information input (registration processing) has been completed but checking (verification processing) has not been performed in the “status” column 60e of the received FAX data. is displayed.

When the image data 50 of the selected unchecked order form is displayed in the display area of the screen, the second registration clerk presses one of the enlarged display buttons 60c to perform the registration process. transition to Then, the second person in charge of registration performs verification processing in work W4. If the first verification process is performed, the second registration person performs the second registration process. The second registration process is the same registration process as the above-described work W2.

If there is an error in the registration contents in the verification process, in work W5, the second registration staff (or the first registration staff) confirms and corrects the input order registration data 41a.

If there is no error in the registered contents, the order registration management server 4 changes the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a to the check completion flag. In the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6), the 'status' column 60e displays 'finished' indicating that the check has been completed for the received FAX data with the check completion flag. The information processing terminal 3 (see FIG. 1) includes a first image layer 51 in which image data 50 of an order form is recorded, an order number Ab assigned to each order information R, receipt information 52a, and image data of a company seal. An order acknowledgment image 70 including the second image layer 52 recording 52 b is generated and transmitted to the order registration management server 4 .

In work W6, the person in charge of registration instructs the transmission of the order confirmation image 70 for the received FAX data for which "End" is displayed (with the check completion flag attached) on the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6). input. If there are multiple items of received FAX data for which the verification process is completed and "end" is displayed, the person in charge of registration selects a plurality of the items of received FAX data and instructs to send the order confirmation image 70 all at once. It can be performed. Further, by individually selecting the received FAX data on which "End" is displayed, the person in charge of registration can add a comment to the selected order acknowledgment image 70 and give an instruction to transmit the data. . The order registration management server 4 stores the order acknowledgment image 70 in the image database 42, and upon receiving a transmission instruction via the information processing terminal 3, faxes the order acknowledgment image 70 to the customer according to the instruction content. .

When the second verification process is performed, the provisional order confirmation image 70 is generated in work W4, the checking work is performed by the person in charge of checking, and when the input of the check marks 53a for all the check items is completed, the order is received. The registration management server 4 changes the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a to the check completed flag. In this case, the third image layer 53 in which the check mark 53a and the person-in-charge information 53b are recorded is added to the order confirmation image 70 and stored in the image database . The order registration management server 4 FAX-transmits the order confirmation image 70 with the third image layer 53 hidden to the customer in accordance with the transmission instruction received via the information processing terminal 3 .

In step S3, the information processing section 33 causes the order form screen 61 to display the identification mark 63 (see FIG. 2). At this time, the information processing section 33 acquires the coordinate information registered as the initial setting (for example, format 1) from the registered coordinate information from the order registration management server 4, and stores the order information in the first row. An identification mark 63 is displayed at a position corresponding to R. If the display position of the identification mark 63 does not match the format of the order form displayed on the order form screen 61, the person in charge of registration selects the mark selection button 61b (see FIG. 2) on the order form screen 61 to place the order. Select the coordinate information corresponding to the format of the calligraphy. The information processing section 33 acquires the selected coordinate information from the order registration management server 4 and updates and displays the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 . Processing for accepting selection of coordinate information and updating display of the identification mark 63 is omitted in FIG.

In step S<b>4 , the information processing section 33 receives information input of one piece of order information R via the input section 32 . At this time, each time each item included in the order information R (product information Ra, delivery destination information Rb, quantity information Rc, delivery date information Rd, and remarks information Re) is entered, the information processing section 33 A process of displaying the input information T (see FIG. 4) at the position corresponding to 63 is performed.

When the information input of one order information R is completed, in step S5, the information processing section 33 transmits the input one order information R to the order registration management server 4, and the assigned order number Ab. receive. The information processing section 33 displays the received order number Ab (see FIG. 4) on the order form screen 61 at a position adjacent to the description position of the input order information R. FIG. As a result, the registration work for one piece of order information R is completed.

In step S6, the information processing section 33 moves the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 to the position of the next unit line and displays it. In addition, the information processing section 33 clears each input column of the order receiving screen 62 so as to accept input of the next order information R. FIG.

In step S<b>7 , the information processing section 33 determines whether or not to end the order registration process for the image data 50 of the order form displayed on the order form screen 61 . When the completion button 61f (see FIG. 4) on the order form screen 61 is input, the information processing section 33 ends the order registration process. When the completion button 61f is not input, the information processing section 33 returns the process to step S4. By repeating steps S4 to S6, the order information R described in each line of the order sheet is registered one by one. When all the order information R has been entered and the person in charge of registration presses the completion button 61f, the registration process is completed. The information processing section 33 performs control to record an unchecked flag indicating completion of registration processing in the order registration data 41 a in the registration database 41 of the order registration management server 4 . On the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6), an unchecked flag is recorded and "completed" is displayed in the "status" column 60e of the FAX data.

In order information R verification processing, as described above, FAX data recorded with an unchecked flag is selected on the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6) ("completed" is displayed in the "status" column 60e). It is started by selecting a row) and pressing the enlarged display button 60c. Refer to FIG. 1 for each part of the order management system 1 for corrugated board, and refer to FIGS.

In step S11 of FIG. 14, the information processing section 33 selects which of the first verification process and the second verification process is to be performed. For example, the verification process is selected according to the orderer information R1. Verification processing is selected according to the type of order received, for example, the first verification processing is selected in the case of a sheet order. For example, the verification process is selected according to the input operation of the person in charge of checking.

When performing the first verification process, the second registration process is performed in step S12. The contents of the registration process are the same as those of steps S1 to S7 shown in FIG. 13, so description thereof will be omitted.

In step S13, the information processing section 33 collates the order registration data 41a recorded in the registration database 41 by the first registration process with the order information R newly input by the second registration process. It is determined whether or not the two types of registration contents input by the registration process of the time completely match.

When the two types of registration contents input by the two registration processes do not match, the information processing section 33 displays an error and accepts correction of the input information in step S14 of FIG. After accepting the correction, the information processing section 33 makes the determination in step S13 again.

In step S13, if the two types of registration contents completely match, the information processing unit 33 checks the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a in the registration database 41 of the order registration management server 4 in step S15. Control to rewrite to . This completes the first verification process. For the FAX data for which verification processing has been completed, the display of the 'status' column 60e on the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6) is changed to 'completed'.

On the other hand, if the second verification process is selected in step S11, the information processing section 33 prepares the provisional order confirmation image 70 (see FIG. 10) including the first image layer 51 and the second image layer 52 in step S21. The order form screen 61 of the display unit 31 is displayed, and the corresponding order registration data 41 a is displayed on the order form screen 62 .

In step S<b>22 , the information processing section 33 creates the third image layer 53 (see FIG. 8 ) on the order confirmation image 70 , and receives check inputs for preset check items on the order form screen 61 . When the information processing unit 33 receives an input to the check item via the input unit 32, in step S23, at the input position on the order confirmation image 70 (third image layer 53) displayed on the order form screen 61, A check mark 53a (see FIG. 11) is displayed and recorded.

In step S24, the information processing section 33 determines whether or not all check items have been entered. If there is an unchecked item, the information processing section 33 returns the process to step S22 and accepts the input of the check mark 53a. When all the check items have been entered, the information processing section 33 records the person-in-charge information 53b of the person in charge of checking in the third image layer 53 of the order confirmation image 70 in step S25. An order confirmation image 70 (see FIG. 11) including 53 is created (overwritten).

In step S26, the information processing section 33 performs control to rewrite the unchecked flag of the order registration data 41a in the order registration management server 4 to the check completion flag. This completes the second verification process. For the FAX data for which verification processing has been completed, the display of the 'status' column 60e on the received FAX list screen 60 (see FIG. 6) is changed to 'completed'.

When any of the verification processes is completed and a check completion flag is recorded in the order registration data 41a, the order registration management server 4 receives a FAX transmission instruction from the information processing terminal 3, and The order confirmation image 70 is transmitted.

Verification processing is performed by the above.

(Example of sheet order form)
In the above description, a case order form is used as an example. The sheet order form will be described with reference to FIG.

In the image data 50 of the order form shown in FIG. 15, the description "sheet order form" is arranged in the upper part of the paper surface and in the center in the horizontal direction of the paper surface. Orderer information R1 (“XXX Cardboard Co., Ltd.”) and order information R are arranged in the image data 50 of the order form.

In the example of FIG. 15, the order information R includes items of "flute", "paper quality (liner)", "paper quality (core)", "sheet dimensions" and "ruled lines" as product information Ra. In the case order form, the size and shape are specified by the "product number" and "product name", whereas in the sheet order form, the "sheet size" and "ruled lines" determine the size and shape for each order. If there is an error in the contents of the order for "sheet dimensions" and "ruled lines", it will be impossible to manufacture a case from the delivered corrugated cardboard sheet, so it is extremely necessary to prevent erroneous input. Configuring the information processing section 33 so as to select the above-described first verification process in the case of a sheet order is effective in suppressing mistakes in the sheet order form.

In the example of FIG. 15, the order information R includes the item "delivery location" as the delivery destination information Rb. The order information R includes an item of "quantity" as the quantity information Rc. The order information R includes items of "delivery date" and "time" as delivery date information Rd. The order information R also includes order number information Rf (“401703”). Although the item of the remark information Re is not shown in FIG. 15, the order information R may include the remark information Re. Since the sheet order form has more items than the case order form shown in FIG. 2, one piece of order information R may be written in two lines, for example. In this case, in the image data 50 of the sheet order form, one piece of order information R is described for each unit line of two lines.

The image data 50 of the sheet order form is, for example, as described above. Although illustration is omitted, when the sheet order form type selection button 61a is input on the order form screen 61 of FIG. Input fields for "paper quality (core)", "sheet dimensions" and "ruled lines", input field 62b for "delivery place" as delivery destination information Rb, input field 62c for "number of sheets" as quantity information Rc, delivery date An input field 62d for "delivery date" and "time" as information Rd, an input field 62f for order number information Rf, and an input field 62e for remark information Re are displayed. While the entry fields for product information Ra differ depending on the order type, the entry fields for delivery destination information Rb, quantity information Rc, delivery date information Rd, order number information Rf, and remarks information Re can be displayed in common.

[Effect of this embodiment]
The following effects can be obtained in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, as described above, the information processing unit 33 causes the display unit 31 to display the order form screen 61 that displays the image data 50 of the order form and the order form screen 62 that displays the input content, and also causes the input Processing is performed to display the identification mark 63 at the position on the order form screen 61 corresponding to the order information CR being worked on. As a result, when the person in charge of registration performs input work (or check work) while looking at the order form displayed on the order form screen 61, the identification mark 63 is used as a mark to input the order information R currently focused on. and check work can be done. Since the identification mark 63 is displayed at a position corresponding to the order information CR being input, the person in charge of registration can easily and reliably retrieve the order information CR being input from other order information R described in the order form. can be distinguished. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent input errors caused by misreading the order information R and overlooking erroneous input information. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress human error in the process of registering the order information R based on the image data 50 of the received order form.

Also, in the corrugated cardboard industry, the introduction of IT is lagging behind, and even at the time of filing this application, the work of saving paper order forms received by FAX and searching for order forms that require confirmation from the pile of paper for the past year or so. is being done. According to the corrugated cardboard order management system 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to reduce the time required to search for past data as well as go paperless. In addition, since a series of operations related to order management can all be operated on the screen of the information processing terminal 3, the person in charge of registration can telework.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information processing section 33 displays the identification mark 63 at a position corresponding to the order information CR in input work, and displays the order information in non-input work included in the image data 50 of the order form. It is configured to perform processing for hiding the identification mark 63 for the information R. FIG. With this configuration, the identification mark 63 is displayed only at the position corresponding to the order information CR being input. The order information CR inside can be recognized without misreading.

Further, in this embodiment, the order form is created in a format in which one piece of order information R is displayed for each unit line, and the identification mark 63 describes the order information CR being input. Contains a line-shaped or frame-shaped image representing a row. With this configuration, when an order is processed for each unit line, the line being input is specified by the identification mark 63, so that the order information CR being input can be easily and reliably recognized. In addition, in the work of the conventional method in which the order content was read from the printed FAX paper and input to the terminal, the registration staff had to put a ruler on the line (order information R) of the FAX paper during the input work. Therefore, it was widely practiced to suppress erroneous reading. According to the above configuration, the line-shaped or frame-shaped identification mark 63 similar to applying a ruler in the work of the conventional method is displayed on the order form screen 61. It is highly flexible and can improve convenience.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information processing section 33 further performs a process of moving the display position of the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 to the next line when the registration of one order information R on the order form screen 62 is completed. is configured to do With this configuration, when the registration of one piece of order information R is completed, the identification mark 63 automatically moves to the next line. The workload of the person in charge can be effectively suppressed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information processing section 33 further inputs the first position coordinate Q1 of the order information R on the first line and the second coordinate Q1 of the order information R on the second line in the image data 50 of the order form. Input of the position coordinates Q2 is received via the input unit 32, and based on the received coordinate information, the identification mark 63 is displayed at the position corresponding to the order information CR being input. Here, since the same customer places an order using the order form of the same format, the position of the first order information R is specified based on the position of the first line of the order form. Then, the line spacing can be obtained from the difference between the position of the first line and the position of the second line. Based on the position of the first order information R and the line spacing, the identification mark 63 can be displayed for the order information R of any line after the third line. With regard to the above coordinate information, the image data 50 of the received order form can be obtained by simply registering the position of the first line and the second line of the order form in advance by the person in charge of registration. The identification mark 63 can be displayed at a position corresponding to an arbitrary line in .

Further, in the present embodiment, the information processing section 33 receives input of information for input items included in the order information R on the order receipt screen 62 , and then stores the input information at a position corresponding to the identification mark 63 on the order form screen 61 . It is configured to perform a process of displaying the information T obtained. With this configuration, by displaying the information T input on the order receiving screen 62 at the position corresponding to the identification mark 63, the input information T can be immediately compared with the information described in the order form. . Therefore, the person in charge of registration can naturally check whether or not the information T input by the person in charge of registration is correct during the registration process of the order information R, so that human error can be suppressed more effectively. can do. Further, since the input information T can be self-checked on the order form screen 61 without alternately comparing the order form screen 62 and the order form screen 61, the workload of the person in charge of registration can be effectively reduced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information processing section 33 is further configured to execute verification processing of the registered order information R, and the verification processing is performed on the same order information R via the input section 32. It includes a process of accepting multiple registration processes performed and collating the received multiple registration contents. With this configuration, the same or a plurality of persons in charge of registration perform registration processing for the same order information R a plurality of times, and the registered contents are compared with each other, so that input errors can be detected more reliably. By performing the registration process itself multiple times instead of simply performing the check multiple times, it is possible to suppress oversight during the check.
