Below, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples.

First Embodiment
(Configuration of business management system 1)
First, the configuration of this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a business management system 1 of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the business management system 1 includes a server 2 and multiple (three in FIG. 1) client terminals 3. The server 2 and the client terminals 3 are connected to each other via a communication network N so that they can communicate with each other.

The server 2 is, for example, a server on the cloud, and provides support for the business management system 1 in each company that has introduced the business management system 1.
For example, the server 2 provides the client terminal 3 with the business system program 331 used by each company in the business management system 1, and upgrades the business system program 331 installed on the client terminal 3 and the business application program (hereinafter referred to as the business application) included therein.
Furthermore, the server 2 generates notification information to be notified to the user of the client terminal 3, and transmits the same to the client terminal 3 via the communication network N. For example, when maintenance of the server 2 or an upgrade of the business system program 331 in the business management system 1 or the business applications contained therein is performed, the server 2 generates notification information notifying the date and time of the upgrade, the content of the upgrade, etc., and transmits the same to the client terminal 3 via the communication network N.

The client terminal (information processing device) 3 is, for example, a terminal device used by employees of each company that has introduced the business management system 1. Examples of this client terminal 3 include a notebook PC (Personal Computer) and a desktop PC. However, it is not limited to these and may also be a smartphone, a tablet PC, a mobile phone, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

The communication network N is, for example, the Internet, but may be another network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

(Configuration of client terminal 3)
Next, the functional configuration of the client terminal 3 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the client terminal 3.

As shown in FIG. 2, the client terminal 3 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 31, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 32, a storage unit 33, an operation unit 34, a display unit 35, a communication unit 36, and a bus 37. The components of the client terminal 3 are connected via the bus 37.

The CPU 31 is a processor that controls each part of the client terminal 3. The CPU 31 reads out a specified program from among the system programs and application programs stored in the storage unit 33, expands it in the RAM 32, and executes various processes according to the program. The CPU 31 functions as a determination means and a display control means in cooperation with the business system program 331 described later.

RAM 32 is, for example, a volatile memory, and has a work area for temporarily storing various programs and data read by CPU 31.

The memory unit 33 includes a storage device capable of writing and reading data, such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD), and stores files including various programs and data.

The programs stored in the memory unit 33 include a business system program 331 provided by the business management system 1. The business system program 331 is configured to include multiple business applications. The business applications are applications for each business to perform various businesses that can be performed by the business management system 1 (e.g., quotation, order receipt, sales, ordering, purchasing, billing, inventory management, etc.). Each business application is set with a business ID that is identification information for the business corresponding to that application. The business system program 331 also includes a program for receiving and generating notification information, and a program for executing notification information display control process A, etc., which will be described later.

The storage unit 33 is also provided with a business system DB (Data Base) 332. The business system DB 332 is a database for storing basic information required for various businesses that can be performed by the business management system 1, such as a product master table, a customer master table, a supplier master table, and various setting information (such as the closing date of a business and information on matters to be performed by the closing date), and for accumulating information input by a business application of the business system program 331 (such as information on order slips, sales slips, purchase orders, invoices, and purchase slips) or information calculated based on the input information.

The memory unit 33 also stores a notification information table 333. The notification information table 333 is a table that has items such as a notification ID, date, title, text, business ID, keywords, and sender, and stores received or generated notification information.

The operation unit 34 has a key input unit such as a keyboard and a pointing device such as a mouse, and accepts key operation input and position operation input from a user (operator) and outputs the operation information to the CPU 31. The CPU 31 accepts the user's input operation based on the information transmitted from the operation unit 34.

The display unit 35 is composed of an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), an EL (Electro Luminescence) display, etc., and performs various displays according to the display information instructed by the CPU 31.

The communication unit 36 is configured with a network card, etc. The communication unit 36 is connected to the communication network N and communicates with devices on the communication network N.

(Operation of Client Terminal 3)
Next, the operation of the client terminal 3 in the business management system 1 of the first embodiment will be described.
When the business system program 331 is started, the CPU 31 performs the following processes in cooperation with the business system program 331 .

First, the CPU 31 displays a login screen on the display unit 35 to perform login authentication, and if the user is permitted to log in, as shown in FIG. 3, displays a main area 351 and a sub-area 352 on the display unit 35. The main area 351 is an area in which a screen for the user to perform a task is displayed. The sub-area 352 is an area for displaying notification information for the user. If the display unit 35 is equipped with multiple displays, the main area 351 and the sub-area 352 may be displayed on different displays. Then, the CPU 31 displays a menu screen for selecting a task to be performed in the main area 351, and displays notification information stored in the notification information table 333 in the sub-area 352. The notification information is displayed in the sub-area 352 in a preset order (for example, by date). The notification information to be displayed in the sub-area may be narrowed down from the notification information stored in the notification information table 333 based on conditions such as date and sender. Additionally, sub-area 352 displays an add button 352a for displaying a notification information input screen (not shown) that allows the user to add (input) notification information.

When a task to be performed is selected from the menu screen by the operation unit 34, the CPU 31 starts and executes a task application corresponding to the selected task, and displays a screen corresponding to the selected task (called a task screen) in the main area 351. The user performs a task, such as creating a slip, in accordance with the task screen displayed in the main area 351.

In addition, while the business system program 331 is running, the CPU 31 executes the following processes in cooperation with the business system program 331 to add notification information received from the server 2 to the notification information table 333, and to generate notification information and add it to the notification information table 333.

For example, the CPU 31 monitors the reception of notification information from the server 2 by the communication unit 36, and when notification information from the server 2 is received by the communication unit 36, it assigns a notification ID to the received notification information and stores it in the notification information table 333.
The notification information sent from the server 2 includes information such as the date, title, text, business ID, keywords, sender, etc. The business ID of the business related to the notification information is set as the business ID. For example, in the case of notification information notifying of an upgrade to an order-receiving business application, the business ID of the order-receiving business is set. Also, for example, in the case of notification information notifying of server maintenance, all business IDs are set since the notification information is related to all businesses.

The CPU 31 also monitors the reception of e-mails by the communication unit 36, and when an e-mail is received, the CPU 31 determines whether the sender e-mail address of the received e-mail matches the e-mail address of the business partner registered in the customer master table or the supplier master table, and if they match, generates notification information for the e-mail, assigns a notification ID to the generated notification information, and stores it in the notification information table 333. For example, notification information is generated in which the date and time of the e-mail reception is set as the date and time of the notification information, the title of the e-mail is set as the subject, the body of the e-mail is set as the body of the e-mail, and the name of the business partner corresponding to the e-mail address is set as the sender.

The CPU 31 also monitors an instruction from the operation unit 34 to display the notification information input screen (in this embodiment, pressing the Add button 352a), and when an instruction to display the notification information input screen is given from the operation unit 34, the CPU 31 displays the notification information input screen on the display unit 35, generates notification information based on the input information from the notification information input screen, assigns a notification ID to the generated notification information, and stores it in the notification information table 333. On the notification information input screen, information for each item in the notification information table 331 can be input.

The CPU 31 also determines whether a specified time has arrived, and when the specified time has arrived, obtains the current date and information on the closing date stored in the business system DB 332, and if the current date is within a specified period prior to the closing date (e.g., one week ago), automatically generates notification information notifying the user of matters that need to be carried out by the closing date, assigns a notification ID to the generated notification information, and stores it in the notification information table 333.

When notification information is added to the notification information table 333, the CPU 31 displays the added notification information in the subarea 352.

In this way, notification information is added to notification information table 331 from time to time and displayed in sub-area 352. However, because the user is concentrating on work tasks in main area 351, their gaze is fixed on main area 351, and they may not notice important notification information related to work tasks in main area 351 even if it has been received or displayed in sub-area 352.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the CPU 31 executes a notification information display control process A in cooperation with the business system program 331 while the business system program 331 is running. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of the notification information display control process A. The notification information display control process A will be described below with reference to Fig. 4.

In the notification information display control process A, the CPU 31 waits for notification information to be received by the communication unit 36 (step S1).
When the communication unit 36 receives the notification information (step S1; YES), the CPU 31 acquires the business ID set in the business application currently being executed in the main area 351 (step S2). The CPU 31 also acquires the business ID set in the received notification information (step S3).

Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the received notification information is related to the task being executed in the main area 351 based on the two acquired task IDs (step S4).
For example, if the business ID set in the received notification information includes a business ID set in a business application running in main area 351, CPU 31 determines that the received notification information is related to the business running in main area 351, and if the business ID is not included, CPU 31 determines that the received notification information is not related.

If it is determined that the received notification information is not related to the work being performed by the user (step S4; NO), the CPU 31 displays the received notification information in the subarea 352 (step S5) and returns to step S1.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the received notification information is related to the work being performed in the main area 351 (step S4; YES), the CPU 31 displays guidance information 351a regarding the received notification information in the main area 351 (step S6), and displays the received notification information in a highlighted manner in the sub-area 352 (step S7), and returns to step S1.
In step S7, the CPU 31 highlights the received notification information by, for example, adding color to the information, displaying it in bold, blinking it, displaying it at the top, or the like.
During the execution of the business system program 331, the CPU 31 repeatedly executes steps S1 to S7.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of the main area 351 in which guidance information 351a about received notification information is displayed. As shown in Figure 5, if the received notification information is related to the work being performed in the main area 351, guidance information 351a about the received notification information is displayed in the main area 351, so the user can easily recognize that important notification information related to the work being performed in the main area 351 is displayed in the sub-area. As a result, the user can be encouraged to move their gaze to the sub-area 352, preventing them from overlooking important notification information.

Second Embodiment
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the second embodiment, the CPU 31 of the client terminal 3 executes a notification information display control process B instead of the notification information display control process A described in the first embodiment while the business system program 331 is running. Since the configurations of the business management system 1, the server 2, and the client terminal 3 and other operations executed by the CPU 31 are similar to those described in the first embodiment, the explanation thereof will be used to explain the notification information display control process B below.

Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of notification information display control process B. Notification information display control process B is executed by cooperation between the CPU 31 and the business system program 331.

First, the CPU 31 acquires the input focus of the main area 351 (step S11).

Next, the CPU 31 determines whether or not input to the focused input area is completed (step S12).
When it is determined that the input to the focused input area has not been completed (step S12; NO), the CPU 31 returns to step S11.
If it is determined that input into the focused input area has been completed (step S12; YES), CPU 31 determines whether or not there is notification information related to the input information among the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 (i.e., whether or not the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 is related to the input information) (step S13).

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the focused input area is the "client" input area 351b, the CPU 31 searches the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 for notification information whose sender information matches the information (client name) entered in the "client" input area 351b, or whose text contains the information entered in the "client" input area 351b. If the search results in notification information whose sender information matches the information (client name) entered in the "client" input area 351b, or whose text contains the information entered in the "client" input area 351b, the CPU 31 determines that notification information related to the entered information exists in the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 (i.e., the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 that matches the search conditions is related to the entered information).

8, for example, when the focused input area is the "item" input area 351c, the CPU 31 searches for notification information whose main text includes the information input in the "item" input area 351c from the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352. When the search results in notification information whose main text includes the information input in the "item" input area 351c, the CPU 31 determines that notification information related to the input information exists in the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 (i.e., the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 that matches the search conditions is related to the input information).
In addition, the notification information related to the input information may be further narrowed down based on the business being performed in the main area 351. For example, when a purchase slip is input in the main area 351, the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 may be searched for information input in the "item" input area 351c and notification information whose text contains the word "arrival", and based on the search result, it may be determined whether or not the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 contains notification information related to the information input in the input area 351c. In addition, for example, when a sales slip is input in the main area 351, the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 may be searched for information input in the "item" input area 351c and notification information whose text contains the word "shipment", and based on the search result, it may be determined whether or not the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 contains notification information related to the information input in the input area 351c.

Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when the focused input area is the "Date" input area 351c, the CPU 31 searches the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 for notification information having a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) from the date entered in the "Date" input area 351e (the date selected from the calendar). If the search results in notification information having a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) from the date entered in the "Date" input area 351c, the CPU 31 determines that notification information related to the input information exists in the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 (i.e., the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 that matches the search criteria is related to the input information). Alternatively, notification information displayed in sub-area 352 may be searched for notification information whose text includes a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) from the date entered in "Date" input field 351e (the date selected from the calendar), and if the search results in notification information whose text includes a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) from the date entered in "Date" input field 351c, it may be determined that notification information related to the entered information is present in the notification information displayed in sub-area 352.

If it is determined that the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 does not contain notification information related to the input information (step S13; NO), the CPU 31 proceeds to step S16.

If it is determined that notification information related to the input information is present in the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 (step S13; YES), the CPU 31 displays guidance information 351a about the notification information related to the input information in the main area 351 (step S14).
For example, a message such as "There are xx notifications regarding xx" is displayed at the top of the main area 351 (see FIG. 7).

The CPU 31 also highlights the notification information related to the input information (the notification information searched for in the judgment of step S13) displayed in the sub-area 352 (step S15), and proceeds to step S16.
For example, notification information related to the input information displayed in the sub-area 352 may be highlighted by adding color, displaying in bold, blinking, displaying at the top, or the like.

When the CPU 31 confirms that the input focus has been lost in step S16, the process returns to step S11. While the business system program 331 is running, the CPU 31 repeatedly executes steps S11 to S16.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when "Tanaka Shoten" is input (selected from a pull-down menu) in the input area 351b of "Customer", the CPU 31 searches for notification information whose sender information matches "Tanaka Shoten" or whose text contains "Tanaka Shoten" from the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352. If the search results in notification information whose sender information matches "Tanaka Shoten" or whose text contains "Tanaka Shoten", the CPU 31 determines that the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 (the notification information whose sender information matches "Tanaka Shoten" or whose text contains "Tanaka Shoten") is related to the input "Tanaka Shoten", and displays guidance information 351a such as "One notification related to Tanaka Shoten has arrived" in the main area 351 as shown in FIG. 7. This allows the user to easily recognize that notification information related to the input "Tanaka Shoten" is displayed in the sub-area 352, thereby preventing the user from overlooking notification information related to "Tanaka Shoten". In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the notification information related to "Tanaka Shoten" displayed in sub-area 352 is highlighted, so the user can quickly find notification information from "Tanaka Shoten" in sub-area 352 and check the contents.

For example, as shown in FIG. 8, when "mandarin oranges" are input (selected from a pull-down menu) in the "item" input area 351c, the CPU 31 searches for notification information containing "mandarin oranges" in the text from among the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352. If notification information containing "mandarin oranges" is found as a result of the search, the CPU 31 determines that the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 (notification information containing "mandarin oranges" in the text) is related to the input "mandarin oranges," and displays guidance information 351a such as "One notification related to mandarin oranges has been received" in the main area 351 as shown in FIG. 8. This allows the user to easily recognize that the notification information related to the input "mandarin oranges" is displayed in the sub-area 352, thereby preventing the user from overlooking the notification information related to "mandarin oranges." As shown in FIG. 8, the notification information related to "mandarin oranges" displayed in the sub-area 352 is highlighted, allowing the user to quickly find the notification information related to "mandarin oranges" in the sub-area 352 and check the contents.

Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, when "October 26, 2019" is entered (selected from the calendar) in the "Date" input field 351e, the CPU 31 searches for notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 having a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) of "October 26, 2019." If the search results in notification information having a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) from "October 26, 2019" (or including a date within that range in the text), the CPU 31 determines that the notification information (notification information having a date within N business days (N is a positive integer) from "October 26, 2019" (or including a date within that range in the text)) displayed in the sub-area 352 is related to the input "October 26, 2019", and displays guidance information 351a such as "Two notifications related to the vicinity of October 26, 2019 have been received" in the main area 351 as shown in FIG. 9. This allows the user to easily recognize that notification information related to the vicinity of the input "October 26, 2019" is displayed in the sub-area 352, thereby preventing overlooking notification information related to the vicinity of the input date. Also, as shown in FIG. 9, notification information related to the vicinity of "October 26, 2019" displayed in sub-area 352 is highlighted, so the user can quickly find notification information related to the vicinity of "October 26, 2019" from sub-area 352 and check the content.

In this way, according to the second embodiment, guidance information 351a of notification information related to information input by the user in the main area 351 is displayed in the main area 351, so the user can easily recognize that notification information related to the input information is displayed in the sub-area 352. As a result, the user can be encouraged to move his or her gaze to the sub-area 352, preventing the user from overlooking important notification information related to the work being performed, and improving work efficiency.

As described above, the CPU 31 of the client terminal 3 has a function of displaying notification information in the sub-area 352 of the display unit 35, which has a main area 351 and a sub-area 352, determining whether the notification information satisfies specified conditions, and, if it is determined that the notification information satisfies the specified conditions, displaying guide information 351a regarding the notification information in the main area 351.
Therefore, the user can easily recognize that important notification information that meets a predetermined condition is displayed in sub-area 352, which is separate from main area 351. As a result, the user can be prompted to move his/her line of sight to sub-area 352, which can prevent the user from overlooking important notification information and improve work efficiency.

For example, when an input is made in the main area 351, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 is related to the information input in the main area 351, and if it determines that the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 is related to the information input in the main area, it causes the main area 351 to display guidance information 351a regarding the related notification information.
Therefore, the user can easily recognize that important notification information related to the information input in the main area 351 is displayed in the sub-area 352, which is separate from the main area 351. As a result, the user can be prompted to move his/her line of sight to the sub-area 352, and it is possible to prevent the user from overlooking the notification information related to the input information, thereby improving the work efficiency.

For example, when the sender of the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 matches the information entered in main area 351 (e.g., a business partner), CPU 31 determines that the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 is related to the information entered in main area 351, and displays the guidance information 351a in main area 351. Therefore, for example, when notification information from a business partner entered in main area 351 is displayed in sub-area 352, the user can easily recognize this fact. As a result, the user can be encouraged to move their gaze to sub-area 352, preventing them from overlooking notification information related to the entered information, and improving work efficiency.

In addition, for example, when the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 includes information input in the main area 351 (e.g., business partner, item, date, etc.), the CPU 31 determines that the notification information displayed in the sub-area 352 is related to the information input in the main area 351 and displays the guidance information 351a in the main area 351. Therefore, for example, when notification information including a business partner, item, date, etc. input in the main area 351 is displayed in the sub-area 352, the user can easily recognize this fact. As a result, the user can be prompted to move their gaze to the sub-area 352, which can prevent the user from overlooking notification information related to the input information, thereby improving work efficiency.

For example, when the date of the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 is within a predetermined business day range from the date entered in main area 351, CPU 31 determines that the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 is related to the information entered in main area 351, and displays the guidance information 351a in main area 351. Therefore, for example, when notification information around the date entered in main area 351 is displayed in sub-area 352, the user can easily recognize this fact. As a result, the user can be prompted to move their line of sight to sub-area 352, which can prevent the user from overlooking notification information related to the entered information, thereby improving work efficiency.

For example, the CPU 31 determines whether the notification information received by the communication unit 36 is related to the task being performed in the main area 351, and if it is determined that the notification information is related, it displays the notification information in the sub-area 352 and also displays guide information 351a about the notification information in the main area 351. Therefore, when notification information related to the task being performed in the main area 351 is received and displayed in the sub-area 352, the user can easily recognize this fact. As a result, the user can be encouraged to move their gaze to the sub-area 352, and notification information related to the task being performed in the main area 351 can be prevented from being overlooked, improving work efficiency.

For example, if the task identification information set in the notification information received by the communication unit 36 includes task identification information set in a program being executed in the main area 351, the CPU 31 can determine that the received notification information is related to a task being executed in the main area 351.

For example, when CPU 31 determines that the notification information displayed in sub-area 352 satisfies a predetermined condition, CPU 31 further highlights the notification information in sub-area 352. This allows the user to quickly find the corresponding notification information in sub-area 352 and check the content.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified without departing from the spirit of the invention.

For example, a configuration may be made in which a priority can be set for the notification information, and the way in which guidance information for the notification information is displayed may be changed depending on the priority set for that notification information.

In the above embodiment, guidance information 351a about notification information that satisfies a predetermined condition (notification information related to work, notification information related to input information) is displayed in the main area 351.
