Description

The present invention relates to a data entry support device, a data entry support system, a data entry support method, and a program.

Banks, insurance companies and other institutions have been performing data entry work for over several decades to convert and store the information customers fill out on documents into electronic data.

Data input forms are often managed, for example, using specified spreadsheet software or dedicated systems. As a result, data entry personnel who are not IT (Information Technology) engineers often find it difficult to change specifications, even when they want to add new data input items or change them. Furthermore, when requesting changes to specifications from an in-house or external IT engineer, this incurs costs in terms of money and time. As such, there are issues with the convenience of designing and editing input forms.

Patent document 1 discloses a technique for allowing users to design their own forms based on a data definition file and a layout definition file.

<Overall configuration of data entry support system 1000>
1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of a data input support system 1000. As shown in the figure, the data input support system 1000 includes a data input support device 100 and a terminal device 200. The data input support device 100 performs various processes for supporting data input, such as creating an input form used for inputting data into a form and managing input data. The terminal device 200 outputs screen information generated by the data input support device 100 and receives input information based on a user operation.

The data entry support device 100 and the terminal device 200 are connected to each other so that they can communicate with each other via a specific network N (e.g., the Internet or a LAN (Local Area Network)). Each of the terminal devices 200 illustrated in FIG. 1 may belong to a different company or firm, or may belong to the same firm (or firm). The data entry support system 1000 may include multiple data entry support devices 100.

Such a data input support device 100 acquires input information based on user operations from the terminal device 200, creates and saves a template having input items desired by the user. The data input support device 100 also generates a setting screen for an input form in which a display area for a form is arranged on one side of the display screen and a display area for input items selected from the template is arranged on the other side, and displays the setting screen on the terminal device 200. The data input support device 100 also accepts settings for the layout and attributes of the input items via the setting screen, and creates and saves an input form desired by the user. The data input support device 100 also accepts user operations related to guide settings that assist in data input into input items, and saves the setting contents.

The data input support device 100 generates a data input screen in which a display area for the form (target data) to be the subject of data input is arranged on one side of the display screen, and a display area for the input fields registered in the input form is arranged on the other side, and displays the screen on the terminal device 200. The data input support device 100 also accepts input data for each input field and stores it. When an input field for which a guide has been set is selected, the data input support device 100 displays a guide at the corresponding position on the form to support the user in accurate data input. The data input support device 100 also generates audio information that reads out the contents entered in the input field, and outputs the audio information to the terminal device 200 to support the user in accurate data input.

The data input support device 100 generates screen information in which a display area for a form (target data) to be subjected to data input is arranged on one side of the display screen, and an input field for characters or the like to be displayed on a sticky note is arranged on the other side, and displays the screen information on the terminal device 200. The data input support device 100 also displays a sticky note displaying data inputted into the input field in the display area of the form, and associates information about the sticky note with the form and stores the information. The data input support device 100 also generates screen information in which a display area for a form (target data) to be subjected to data input is arranged on one side of the display screen, and a display area for information for setting marker attributes is arranged on the other side, and displays the screen information on the terminal device 200. The data input support device 100 also accepts marking on the form based on a user operation, and associates information about the marker (and the marking) with the form and stores the information.

In addition, the data input support device 100 accepts the selection of output items from the input form based on the user's operation, and creates and saves the output layout desired by the user. In addition, the data input support device 100 outputs the input data corresponding to the output items in a predetermined output format according to the output layout.

The data entry support device 100 also accepts and stores information about the business flow and the users who have the authority to perform each task included in the business flow. The data entry support device 100 also associates the workers who performed each task included in the business flow with the work history and stores the information.

This data input support device 100 allows users to design data input forms relatively easily without requiring expertise, providing a system that can support more accurate input work.

<Terminal Device 200>
The terminal device 200 is a device used for data input, such as a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, etc. The terminal device 200 displays screen information acquired from the data input support device 100 via a GUI (Graphical User Interface) on its own display and accepts input operations by a user. The terminal device 200 also transmits input information accepted from the user via the GUI to the data input support device 100.

<Data Entry Support Device 100>
The data input support device 100 is a device that provides various support functions for data input. Specifically, the data input support device 100 performs various processes to provide various functions, such as a function for creating an input form, a function for supporting accurate data input, a function for managing input data, and a function for outputting input data.

As shown in the figure, the data entry support device 100 has a memory unit 110, a processing unit 120, and a communication unit 130.

The storage unit 110 stores information used in the processing executed by the data input support device 100 and information acquired from the terminal device 200. Specifically, the storage unit 110 has user information 111, template information 112, input form information 113, target data 114, input data related information 115, output layout information 116, business flow information 117, and work history information 118. The business flow information 117 and work history information 118 will be described later as information used in the processing of a modified example of this embodiment.

Figure 2 shows an example of various types of information stored in the memory unit.

User information 111 is information about the user of the terminal device 200, and is stored for each user. As shown in the figure, user information 111 has a user ID, a user name, and a work history. The user ID is user identification information, and the user name is information that identifies the user's name. The work history is information about the history of work performed by the user, and corresponds to a target data ID that identifies the document (target data) on which the work is to be performed, the work content (e.g., data entry, confirmation of input data, etc.), and the date of the work. The work history is updated as the user performs work.

Template information 112 is information about a template created by a user, and information about the input fields included in the template is registered. In addition, template information 112 is created and stored for each template.

Template information 112 has a template ID, a template name, and an input item list. The template ID and template name are the identification information and name of the template, respectively. The input item list is a list of input items that are registered in the template by user selection, and each input item is associated with an item name, item ID, and other attributes.

The input form information 113 is information about an input form created by a user and used for data input work, and information about the input items included in the input form is registered. In addition, the input form information 113 is created and stored for each input form.

The input form information 113 has a form ID, a form name, and an input item list. The input form ID and the input form name are the identification information and the name of the input form, respectively. The input item list is, for example, a list of input items selected by the user from a template, and each input item is associated with an item name, an item ID, other attributes, and a layout.

In addition, if the input form is set to display the item name common to multiple input items as a label, information about the label is registered in the input item list. Specifically, the label name, the item ID of the corresponding input item, and the label layout are registered in association with each other.

In addition, if the input form is set to display a guide at the corresponding position on the form when an input item is selected, information about the guide setting is registered in the input item list. Specifically, the guide ID, guide position, and item ID of the corresponding input item are registered in association with each other.

Returning to FIG. 1, the target data 114 is image information (e.g., image files such as JPG) of various documents (forms) filled out by the contractor or applicant. Each piece of target data 114 is assigned arbitrary identification information (e.g., target data name or target data ID) according to, for example, the type of document or management number.

The input data related information 115 is information related to the input data etc. for the input form. The input data related information 115 is created and stored for each target data 114 of the form that is the subject of data input work. The input data related information 115 is updated in accordance with input work etc. by the user.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the input data related information 115 has an input data ID, a target data ID, a target data name, the status of the target data 114, a form ID, and input contents. In addition, if sticky notes or highlighters are attached to the target data 114 of the form, the input data related information 115 further has a sticky note list and a marker list.

The input data ID is identification information for the input data. The target data ID and target data name are, respectively, identification information and name of the target data 114 corresponding to the input data. The status of the target data 114 is information indicating the progress stage of the work on the target data 114, for example, not input, input, confirmed, etc. The form ID is identification information for the input form used to input data into the target data 114.

The input content is the content of the input data entered into each input field of the input form. Specifically, the input data is registered in association with the item ID of each input field of the input form. For example, if item ID 001 and item ID 002 of the input form are input fields for name and age, respectively, the data content is registered in association with item ID 001 of the input form and the entered name, and with item ID 002 and the entered age.

The sticky note list is information that is registered when a sticky note is attached to the target data 114 of a form, and includes the sticky note ID, position, size, color, and content. The sticky note ID is identification information for the sticky note, and is information that identifies each sticky note when, for example, multiple sticky notes are attached to one form. The position is coordinate information that specifies the position on the display screen where the sticky note is attached. The size and color are information that indicate the size and color of the sticky note, respectively. The content is information such as the characters entered on the sticky note.

The marker list is information that is registered when a marker is applied to the target data 114 of a form, and registers the marking ID, position, marking shape, color, and thickness. The marking ID is identification information for the marking, such as a line or character drawn with a marker, and is information that identifies each marking when, for example, multiple markings are applied to one form. The position is, for example, the position of the marking within the display screen, and is, for example, coordinate information that specifies the position within the display screen of a rectangular area that surrounds the marking. The shape is information that specifies the shape of the marking. The color and thickness are information that indicate the color and thickness of the marker, respectively.

The output layout information 116 is information that registers the layout created by the user when outputting input data. The output layout information 116 is generated and stored for each layout.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the output layout information 116 has a layout ID, a layout name, a form ID, and an output item list. The layout ID and layout name are information indicating the identification information and name of the output layout, respectively. The form ID is identification information of the input form that accepted the input data to be output. The output item list is, for example, a list of input items that the user selected as output items from the input form, and each output item is associated with an item name, item ID, and other attributes.

Next, the processing unit 120 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the processing unit 120 has an input reception unit 121, a template creation support unit 122, an input form creation support unit 123, a work data management unit 124, a data storage unit 125, a file output support unit 126, and a display unit 127.

The input reception unit 121 is a functional unit that receives information input, and acquires various types of input information based on user operations from the terminal device 200.

The template creation support unit 122 and the input form creation support unit 123 are functional units that support the creation of templates and input forms, respectively.

The work data management unit 124 is a functional unit that manages the input information entered into the target data 114 of the input form or document, i.e., the input data and the input information related to sticky notes/highlighters. Specifically, the work data management unit 124 selects data to be managed from the input information accepted by the input acceptance unit 121, and passes it to the data storage unit 125 as information to be registered in the input data related information 115.

The data storage unit 125 is a functional unit that stores data. Specifically, the data storage unit 125 stores, for example, information related to the created template or input form in the memory unit 110 as template information 112 or input form information 113. In addition, the data storage unit 125 registers information such as input data obtained from the work data management unit 124 in corresponding information (for example, input data related information 115, etc.).

The file output support unit 126 is a functional unit that outputs the input data based on the output layout information 116. Specifically, the file output support unit 126 outputs the input data in a predetermined output format according to the output layout.

The display unit 127 is a functional unit that generates screen information corresponding to processing in response to a user request and displays it on the terminal device 200.

Next, the communication unit 130 will be described. The communication unit 130 is a functional unit that communicates information with external devices. Specifically, the communication unit 130 acquires user input information from the terminal device 200. The communication unit 130 also transmits screen information and the like generated by the data input support device 100 to the terminal device 200.

The functional configuration of the data entry support device 100 has been described above.

Next, the processing of the data entry support device 100 associated with user operations of the terminal device 200 will be described.

FIG. 3(a) is a flow diagram showing an example of input form creation processing executed by the data input support device 100, which is processing related to the creation of an input form by a user. This processing is started, for example, when "Create template" is selected from the menu screen displayed on the terminal device 200.

When the process starts, the data entry support device 100 executes the process of supporting the creation of a template (step S10). Specifically, the display unit 127 generates a template creation screen and displays it on the terminal device 200.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a template creation screen. As shown in the figure, the template creation screen 300 has an input item display area 301 and an instruction receiving area 302. Note that the example shown in the figure shows a state in which input items 303 included in an already created template are displayed; in the initial stage, the input items 303 are not displayed in the input item display area 301 of the template creation screen 300.

The template creation support unit 122 displays input items in the input item display area 301 based on a user operation. For example, when the copy template selection button in the instruction receiving area 302 is selected, the template creation support unit 122 displays already created templates as template candidate items to be copied via the display unit 127. Furthermore, when a candidate is selected from the template candidates, the template creation support unit 122 displays the input items 303 of the selected template in the input item display area 301 via the display unit 127 (as illustrated in FIG. 4).

As shown in the figure, the input item 303 has an item name (e.g., the contractor's name) and an item ID (e.g., item 001).

In this way, the data entry support device 100 can copy and use templates that have already been created. This allows the user to reuse input items included in a template that has already been created, eliminating the need to create a template from scratch.

When the Add Item button is selected, the template creation support unit 122 displays one additional input item in the input item display area 301 via the display unit 127. The user can also create a template by repeatedly selecting the Add Item button to add input items one by one to the input item display area 301. Also, when the Add Item button is selected while a copied template is displayed, an additional input item is added to the input item display area 301 in addition to the input items included in the template.

Furthermore, the user can perform editing operations on the input items 303 included in the input item display area 301, such as setting or changing the item name and other attributes (for example, attributes such as the type of characters that can be used), or deleting the input item itself. Specifically, when an input item to be edited is selected based on a user operation, the template creation support unit 122 displays an editing screen for the selected input item on the terminal device 200 via the display unit 127. Furthermore, when the template creation support unit 122 accepts a user operation related to editing, it performs the corresponding process. Details of the attributes will be described later.

Furthermore, when the save button is selected after the data saving unit 125 receives the name desired by the user for the template name, it saves the template having the input fields displayed in the input field display area 301 (step S20). Specifically, the data saving unit 125 saves in the memory unit 110 the template name and template information 112 in which an arbitrary template ID is assigned to the item name, item ID, and attribute of each input item.

Next, the data input support device 100 executes a process for supporting the creation of an input form (step S30). Specifically, when "Create an input form" is selected from the menu screen displayed on the terminal device 200, the display unit 127 generates an input form creation screen and displays it on the terminal device 200.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing an example of an input form creation screen. As shown in the figure, the input form creation screen 310 has a form display area 311 on one side of the display area, and an input item display area 312 on the other side. Note that the example shown in the figure shows a state in which an unfilled form 313 and input items 314 included in a created template are displayed, and the form 313 and input items 314 are not displayed in the display areas 311, 312 of the input form creation screen 310 at the initial stage.

Based on user operations, the input form creation support unit 123 displays the form and input items in the corresponding display area. For example, when the target data 114 selection button is selected, the input form creation support unit 123 displays candidates for the target data 114 of the form (including data showing an unfilled form format) via the display unit 127. In addition, when a candidate is selected from among the candidates for the target data 114, the input form creation support unit 123 displays the form 313 of the selected target data 114 in the corresponding display area 311 via the display unit 127 (as illustrated in FIG. 5).

When the template selection button is selected, the input form creation support unit 123 displays candidates for templates that have already been created via the display unit 127. When a template candidate is selected, the input form creation support unit 123 displays input items 314 included in the selected template via the display unit 127 and accepts the selection of input items to be included in the input form. The input form creation support unit 123 also displays the input items for which a selection has been accepted in the display area 312. As shown in FIG. 5, the displayed input items 314 are composed of an item name 315 and an input field 316, and in the illustrated example, the item ID is displayed in the input field for convenience.

In this way, the data entry support device 100 can select and use a template and input items that correspond to an input form from among the already-created templates. Therefore, the user can reuse the input items required for the input form from among the input items included in the already-created template, thereby saving the trouble of creating input items for the input form from scratch.

When the Add Item button is selected, the input form creation support unit 123 adds and displays one input item in the input item display area 312. The user can also create an input form by repeatedly selecting the Add Item button to add input items one by one to the input item display area 312.

The user can also set the layout for each input item. For example, in the layout setting, the input form creation support unit 123 changes the display position of the input item 314 in the display area 312 by accepting a predetermined user operation (e.g., drag and drop). The input form creation support unit 123 also changes the width of the input item 314 by accepting a predetermined user operation (e.g., an operation of stretching or shrinking in the left and right direction with one end of the frame line of the input item selected). The user can also adjust the width of each of the item names 315 and the input field 316 based on the same operation as when adjusting the width of each input item 314. Note that the input form creation support unit 123 does not accept an arrangement in which the input items 314 overlap each other or an arrangement in which the input items 314 overlap the item addition button or the label addition button. Specifically, when input items 314 are moved to an overlapping position by a user operation, the input form creation support unit 123 displays, via the display unit 127, for example, the input item 314 that collided with the input item 314 related to the move operation at a position where it has been moved away from the input item 314 related to the operation. Also, when the input item 314 related to the move operation is moved to a position where it overlaps with a label addition button or the like, the input form creation support unit 123 displays, via the display unit 127, the input item 314 related to the operation at a position spaced a predetermined distance from the item addition label or the like.

The user can also set attributes for each input item. There are various types of input item attributes, such as item name, item ID, available character type, character length, left justification/right justification, full-width/half-width, etc. Attributes may also include, for example, whether the input item is read-only or not, whether it supports automatic search input, and so on. Automatic search input is a function that, for example, when the input item is an address and a postal code is input, accesses a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) site that is pre-associated with the input item, and automatically inputs the search results for the address corresponding to the postal code into the input item.

In addition to the above example, the automatic search input function may also be used to search the master data of a specified database stored in the storage unit 110 using data entered in a certain field as a key, and display the hit data in that field or other related fields. As an example, when a bank number is entered in a certain field, the database in which the correspondence between bank numbers and bank names stored in the storage unit 110 is registered is searched using the bank number as a key, and the bank name corresponding to the hit bank number is displayed in that field, etc. As another example, when an illness or injury name is entered in a certain field, the database stored in the storage unit 110 is searched using the bank number as a key, and candidates with the hit illness or injury name (e.g., AB asthma, CD asthma, etc.) are displayed as selectable, and the illness or injury name selected by the user is displayed in that field, etc.

When an input item whose attributes are to be changed is selected based on a user operation, the input form creation support unit 123 displays an attribute setting screen for the input item on the terminal device 200 via the display unit 127. In addition, when the input form creation support unit 123 receives a user operation related to attribute setting, it sets the attribute according to the operation.

The input form creation support unit 123 can also set the display of labels. For example, in the example of Figure 5, item IDs 002 to 004 have the same item name (policy number). In such a case, the item name can be removed from each input item and displayed as a label 317 (as shown in Figure 6 as an example). Note that even if there is only one input item, the item name can be removed and displayed as a label.

Specifically, when the add label button is selected based on a user operation, the input form creation support unit 123 accepts information to be displayed as a label (usually corresponding to the item name) and the selection of the target input item. In addition, the input form creation support unit 123 removes the item name from the selected input item and displays the label 317.

The user can also set the layout of the labels. Specifically, the input form creation support unit 123 changes the display position and width of the labels based on a predetermined user operation, similar to the setting of the input items described above. Note that, similar to the input items 314, the input form creation support unit 123 does not accept an arrangement in which the labels 317 overlap each other, or an arrangement in which the labels 317 overlap the input items 314, the item addition button, or the label addition button. Specifically, when the label 317 and the input items 314 are moved to an overlapping position by a user operation, the input form creation support unit 123 displays, for example, the input items 314 that collided with the label 317 related to the move operation at a position where the input items 314 have been moved away from the label 317 via the display unit 127. Also, when the label 317 related to the move operation is moved to a position where it overlaps with the label addition button, etc., the input form creation support unit 123 displays the label 317 at a position with a predetermined distance from the item addition label, etc. via the display unit 127.

After accepting the name desired by the user as the form name, when the Save button is selected, the data storage unit 125 saves the input form having the input items displayed in the input item display area 312 (step S40). Specifically, the data storage unit 125 registers the form name, the item name, item ID, other attributes and layout of each input item, the label name, item ID and label layout if a label is set, and the form ID assigned to the input form in the input form information 113 (save as input form information 113).

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an example of an input form creation screen including a created input form. As shown in the figure, in the created input form, the layout of each input item is set to a position and shape that corresponds to each entry field on the form. In this way, the user can design the layout of each input field on the input form to correspond to the layout (position, size, etc.) of each entry field on the form while checking the format of the form displayed on one side (position and size of the entry field, etc.), so that an input form can be created that allows intuitive input, confirmation, etc.

The user can also set a guide to assist in more accurate data entry. The guide is a mark image, represented by, for example, a cross or an L-shaped line, that indicates the entry field on the form in which the corresponding information is entered when an input item on the input form for data entry is selected during data entry work.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of screen information related to guide setting. As shown in the figure, a guide setting button and a save guide line button are displayed on the guide setting screen 320. When the guide setting button is selected based on a user operation, the input form creation support unit 123 accepts the selection of an input item for which a guide is to be set from among the input items included in the input form. Also, when an input item is selected based on a user operation, the input form creation support unit 123 displays a guide 321 in the display area 311 of the form and accepts a change in the setting position of the guide. In the example shown in the figure, after the recipient input item included in the input form is selected, the display position of the guide 321 is set on the corresponding entry field of the form. Note that the user can set multiple guide lines to correspond to each input item of the input form.

In addition, when the save guide line button is selected, the data storage unit 125 registers the guide setting contents in the input form information 113. Specifically, the data storage unit 125 registers in the input form information 113 an arbitrary guide ID assigned to each set guide, the position of the guide, and the item ID of the input item corresponding to the guide, in association with each other.

Such guide settings can assist in more accurate data entry. When an input item in an input form is selected during data entry, the display unit 127 may not only display a guide line at a set position on the form, but may also enlarge and display the entry field on the form to which the guide line corresponds. Such an enlarged display allows the user to enter data more accurately.

When the input form creation support unit 123 saves the created input form, it ends the processing of this flow. Note that the processing of steps S10 to S40 included in such an input form creation process does not have to be a series of processes as described above, and steps S10 and S20, and steps S30 and S40 may be started as separate flows at a timing selected by the user.

Next, we will explain the input data saving process that is executed by the data entry support device 100 and is related to the data entry work performed by the user.

Figure 3(b) is a diagram showing an example of the input data saving process. This process is started, for example, when "Data Entry" is selected from the menu screen displayed on the terminal device 200.

When the process starts, the input acceptance unit 121 accepts the selection of the target data 114 of the form into which the user intends to input data (step S110). Specifically, the input acceptance unit 121 displays screen information for accepting the selection of the target data 114 on the terminal device 200 via the display unit 127, and accepts the selection from the user.

Next, the input acceptance unit 121 accepts the selection of an input form to be used by the user to input data (step S120). Specifically, the input acceptance unit 121 displays screen information for accepting the selection of an input form on the terminal device 200 via the display unit 127, and accepts the selection from the user. Note that a form ID of an input form may be associated in advance with each target data 114 to be input. In this case, when the target data 114 is selected in step S110, the form ID is also determined, so step S120 can be omitted.

Next, the display unit 127 displays a data entry screen on the terminal device 200 and accepts data entry (step S130). Specifically, the display unit 127 divides the display area and generates a data entry screen in which the display area for the selected target data 114 is placed on one side and the display area for the selected input form is placed on the other side. The display unit 127 also displays the generated data entry screen on the terminal device 200 and accepts data entry based on a user operation.

8 is a diagram showing an example of a data input screen. As shown in the figure, the data input screen 330 has a display area 331 of the target data 114 of the form and a display area 332 of the input form. The user inputs information to be entered in the corresponding entry field of the form for each input item displayed in the display area 332 of the input form. Specifically, the user selects an input item 314 with a cursor displayed on the display screen, and enters text in the input field 316 of the selected input item 314, whereby the entered text is displayed (entered) in the input field 316 of the input item 314. Note that, as described above, when an input item 314 is selected with the cursor, if a guide is set for the input item 314, a guide (mark image) is displayed at the guide setting position in the display area 331. At this time, the entry field of the form to which the guide is set may be enlarged.

Next, when the save button on the data input screen 330 is selected based on a user operation, the data storage unit 125 saves the input data (step S140). Specifically, the data storage unit 125 acquires the input contents to be registered in the input data related information 115 from the work data management unit 124. More specifically, the work data management unit 124 passes the input contents that correspond to the data contents entered in each input item and each item ID to the data storage unit 125. The data storage unit 125 registers the target data ID of the target data 114, the target data name, the status of the target data 114 (in this case, input has been completed), the form ID of the input form, and the input contents acquired from the work data management unit 124 in the input data related information 115.

In addition, once the data storage unit 125 has saved the input data, it ends the processing of this flow.

The work data management unit 124 may generate voice information that reads out the data entered in the input fields of the input form, and transmit the voice information to be output from the terminal device 200. In this way, since voice information that reads out the data entered in the input fields is output from the terminal device 200, the user can recognize the input data not only visually but also aurally, making it easier to notice data input errors.

As shown in FIG. 8, the user can also set the voice reading speed. The work data management unit 124 generates voice information at the set reading speed and transmits it to the terminal device 200.

Next, we will explain the sticky note/highlighter reception process that is executed by the input support device and is a process related to the user's data confirmation work.

Figure 9 (a) shows an example of a sticky note/highlighter reception process. This process is started, for example, when "Data confirmation" is selected from the menu screen displayed on the terminal device 200.

When the process starts, the input acceptance unit 121 accepts the selection of the target data 114 of the form that the user wishes to confirm (step S210). Specifically, the input acceptance unit 121 displays screen information for accepting the selection of the target data 114 on the terminal device 200 via the display unit 127, and accepts the selection from the user. The work data management unit 124 also identifies the input form and input contents associated with the target data 114 selected and accepted by the input acceptance unit 121 from the input related information. The work data management unit 124 also generates a confirmation screen via the display unit 127 in which a display area for the target data 114 is arranged on one side of the display screen, and a display area for the input form corresponding to the target data 114 that has already been entered is arranged on the other side, and displays the confirmation screen on the terminal device 200.

Figure 10 shows an example of a confirmation screen. As shown in the figure, the confirmation screen 340 has a display area 341 for a form and a display area 342 for an input form that has already been filled out. In addition, the confirmation screen 340 displays a sticky note display switch button and a sticky note add/edit button.

Next, the work data management unit 124 accepts input of a sticky note (step S220). Specifically, when the add/edit sticky note button on the confirmation screen 340 is selected, the work data management unit 124 generates a sticky note/highlighter input screen 350 in which a display area for the form is arranged on one side of the display area, and a display area for sticky note settings, including an input field for input data to be displayed on the sticky note, is arranged on the other side, and displays the sticky note/highlighter input screen 350 on the terminal device 200.

Figure 11 is a diagram showing an example of a sticky note/highlighter input screen. As shown in the figure, sticky note/highlighter input screen 350 has a form display area 351 and a sticky note settings display area 352. Note that sticky note settings display area 352 includes an area for setting the sticky note color, an area for setting the size of the characters to be displayed on the sticky note, an input field for the characters to be displayed on the sticky note, and an instruction receiving area having an instruction receiving button for adding or updating a sticky note, a clear instruction receiving button for erasing characters entered in the input field, and a delete button for receiving an instruction to delete the sticky note itself.

The user can display a sticky note 353 in the display area 351 of the form by selecting the sticky note color, character size, etc., and inputting the characters to be displayed on the sticky note. Specifically, the work data management unit 124 acquires the sticky note color and character size selected based on user operation, and the characters entered in the input field, as setting information. In addition, the work data management unit 124 displays the sticky note 353 reflecting the setting information in the display area 351 of the form via the display unit 127.

The work data management unit 124 also accepts changes to the position of the sticky note. Specifically, when the position of the sticky note is changed based on a specific user operation (e.g., drag and drop), the work data management unit 124 identifies the changed position of the sticky note 353 in the display area 351 of the form, and displays the sticky note 353 at the changed position via the display unit 127.

Next, the work data management unit 124 accepts marker input (step S230). Specifically, when the freehand marker instruction acceptance button displayed in the instruction acceptance area of FIG. 11 is selected, the work data management unit 124 displays a marker pointer (e.g., a pencil pointer) in the display area 351 of the form via the display unit 127, and accepts marking on the form based on freehand user operation.

When the instruction acceptance button for inputting a straight line with a marker displayed in the instruction acceptance area is selected, the work data management unit 124 displays a marker pointer (e.g., a pencil pointer) in the display area 351 of the form via the display unit 127, and accepts marking 354 with a straight line on the form based on user operation. When the delete button in the instruction acceptance area is selected, the target marking is deleted. The user can also set the thickness and color of the marker (the instruction acceptance button for setting the color and thickness of the marker is not shown).

Furthermore, when the save button is selected, the work data management unit 124 identifies information about the sticky note 353 and the marker (including the marking 354) that was input via the sticky note/marker input screen 350, and saves it via the data storage unit 125 (step S240). Specifically, the work data management unit 124 identifies an arbitrary sticky note ID assigned to the sticky note, the position, size (character size), color, and content (characters entered in the input field) of the sticky note, an arbitrary marking ID assigned to each marking of the marker, and the position, shape, color, and thickness of the marking, and passes this input information to the data storage unit 125. The data storage unit 125 registers the input information about the sticky note and marker acquired from the work data management unit 124 in the input data related information 115.

In addition, once the data storage unit 125 has saved the sticky note and marker input information, it ends the processing of this flow.

When the sticky note display switch button displayed on the confirmation screen 340 (illustrated in FIG. 10) is selected based on a user operation, the display unit 127 hides the entered sticky notes 353 and markings 354. This makes it possible to check the contents of the form that are no longer visible due to the sticky notes 353 and markings 354 superimposed on the form. The sticky note add/edit button and sticky note display switch button may also be provided on the data input screen 330 shown in FIG. 8. In other words, the user can add sticky notes and highlighters even while inputting data.

Next, we will explain the process related to the data output task performed by the user, which is the output process executed by the input support device.

Figure 9(b) is a diagram showing an example of output processing. This processing is started, for example, when "output processing" is selected from the menu screen displayed on the terminal device 200.

When the process starts, the file output support unit 126 accepts the creation of an output layout (step S310). Note that the output layout is a layout for setting the output order of input data output in a specific output format (e.g., CSV: Comma Separated Values, etc.), and is different from the layout of input items in an input form. Specifically, the file output support unit 126 displays an output layout creation screen on the terminal device 200 via the display unit 127 and accepts user operations.

Figure 12 is a diagram showing an example of an output layout creation screen. As shown, the output layout creation screen 360 displays an input field for the output layout name, an output item selection button, a delete button, and a save button. Note that the example shown shows a state in which the user's desired output item 361 has been selected from an already created input form, and the output item 361 is not displayed on the output layout creation screen 360 at the initial stage.

By selecting the output item selection button, the user selects an input item corresponding to the desired output item from among the input items in the input form that has already been created. Specifically, when the output item selection button is selected based on a user operation, the file output support unit 126 displays candidates from the input form that has already been created and accepts the user's selection.

When an input form is selected, the file output support unit 126 identifies and displays all input items of the input form from the input form information 113. The file output support unit 126 also displays an input item selected from the displayed input items as an output item 361 on the output layout creation screen 360. When the Delete button is selected, the file output support unit 126 deletes the specified output item 361 from the display screen.

When an output item 361 is selected, the file output support unit 126 displays a setting screen for accepting attribute settings via the display unit 127 and accepts settings by the user. Note that the attribute settings are similar to the attribute settings for the input items described above, so a detailed description is omitted.

Furthermore, when the save button is selected after accepting input of the layout name, the file output support unit 126 saves the output layout via the data storage unit 125 (step S320). Specifically, the file output support unit 126 obtains information about the output items 361 displayed on the output layout creation screen, and registers it in the output layout information 116 via the data storage unit 125. Specifically, the data storage unit 125 obtains the layout name, the form ID of the input form, and the item names, item IDs, and attributes of the output items from the file output unit, and registers them in the output layout information 116.

Next, the file output support unit 126 accepts the selection of the target data 114 to be output (step S330). Specifically, the file output support unit 126 generates an output operation screen via the display unit 127 and displays it on the terminal device 200.

Figure 13 is a diagram showing an example of an output operation screen. As shown in the figure, the output operation screen 370 includes an output layout selection button that accepts the selection of an output layout, an output data selection button that accepts the selection of input data to be output, and an output button that instructs the execution of an output process.

The user displays an output layout by selecting an output layout selection button. Specifically, when the output layout selection button is selected based on a user operation, the file output support unit 126 displays the layout IDs and layout names registered in all output layout information 116 and accepts the user's selection. In addition, when an output layout is selected, the file output support unit 126 displays the output layout on the display screen via the display unit 127.

In addition, the user selects the input data to be output by selecting the output data selection button. Specifically, when the output data selection button is selected based on a user operation, the file output support unit 126 displays all input data IDs, input data names, target data IDs, and target data names registered in the input data association information 115 in association with each other and accepts the user's selection. In addition, when input data to be output is selected, the file output support unit 126 temporarily stores the data in the memory unit 110 as target data 114 for output.

In addition, the user executes the output process by selecting an output button. Specifically, when the output button is selected based on a user operation, the file output support unit 126 displays output format candidates (e.g., CSV, etc.) and accepts the user's selection. In addition, when an output format is selected, the file output support unit 126 executes output processing of the target data 114 to be output in the selected output format. Specifically, the file output support unit 126 outputs to a file the data contents of items corresponding to item IDs included in the output layout, among the items included in the input contents of the input data, in the order set in the output layout. At that time, the file output support unit 126 processes the data contents so as to satisfy the attributes set in the output layout and outputs them.

In addition, once the file output support unit 126 has output the target data 114 for output, it ends the processing of this flow.

The above describes the various processes performed by the data entry support device 100.

This data input support device 100 allows users to design data input forms relatively easily without requiring expertise, providing a system that can support more accurate input work.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the same inventive concept. The data entry support device 100 according to the first modification creates a business flow based on user operations, generates business flow information 117 in which users with implementation authority are registered for each business flow, and stores the information in the storage unit 110.

Figure 14 (a) shows an example of business flow information. As shown in the figure, business flow information 117 registers a business flow ID, business flow name, process ID/process name, process sequence, and implementation authority holder. The business flow ID is identification information for the business flow. The process ID/process name is information indicating the identification information and name of the process included in the business flow. The process sequence is information indicating the sequence of each process. The implementation authority holder is a user who has the authority to implement each process, and is registered in association with each process. Such business flow information 117 is created and saved for each business flow.

The business flow information 117 is generated by the work data management unit 124 based on input information received from the creator of the business flow via a specific settings screen, for example.

Figure 15 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying a list of business flows. The display screen 380 is generated and displayed by the display unit 127 using, for example, the business flow information 117. Also, for example, an operator can select a process to be performed by the operator from the displayed business flow, and a menu screen for the corresponding work is displayed, and processing according to the above embodiment is performed.

Specifically, the display unit 127 identifies the user ID of the person with implementation authority corresponding to the process ID of the display screen 380 selected based on a user operation from the business flow information 117. The display unit 127 also determines whether or not the user is an authority holder for the selected process by, for example, comparing the account of the user who selected the process on the display screen (e.g., the user ID entered at login) with the user ID of the identified authority holder. The display unit 127 also performs processing such as displaying a menu screen for the selected process if the operation is performed by an authority holder, and displaying an error message notifying the user of the lack of authority if the user is not an authority holder.

This allows the data entry support device 100 to set effective security based on execution authority for each process included in the business flow.

In addition, the data entry support device 100 according to the second modified example associates the user ID of the worker who performed each task included in the business flow with the task history and stores it.

Figure 14 (b) shows an example of the work history information 118. As shown in the figure, the work history information 118 registers a user ID and a work history. The user ID is identification information of the user who performed the work. The work history is information indicating the work history performed by the user, and is associated with a business flow ID, a process ID, and a date. The business flow ID and the process ID are identification information of the business flow and the process in which the user performed the work, respectively. The date is information indicating the date of the work. Such work history information 118 is created and saved by the work data management unit 124 at each predetermined interval of each work (for example, when the save button is pressed after creating an input form, or when the save button is pressed after performing data input work for one target data 114 in a form, etc.).

In addition, the information included in the work history information 118 may also include information for identifying more detailed work content, such as the work history included in the user information 111.

Such work history information 118 makes it possible to manage the content of each task included in the business flow and the user who performed it.

In the above embodiment, the user enters data into each blank input field 316 of the input form while checking the contents of the form displayed in the display area 311. In the third modified example, when the user selects an input form during data entry, the input form is displayed with the corresponding data from the form set in at least one or more input fields 316.

Specifically, the data input support device 100 stores in advance in the storage unit 110 analysis data for each piece of target data, including the format of the target data (such as the relative positions of each entry field) and the contents entered in each entry field, analyzed by, for example, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) or AI (Artificial Intelligence). In addition, when the user selects the target data of the form to be displayed in the display area 311 and the input form to be displayed in the display area 312, the data input support device 100 retrieves the analysis data of the selected target data from the storage unit 110, and displays the input form in the display area 312 with the contents of the corresponding item names set (entered) in each input field 316 of the selected input form.

With such a data input support device 100, the user simply selects the target data on the form and selects a specific input form, and each input field 316 of the input form is displayed with the data for the corresponding item name on the form set. In this case, the user simply checks whether there are any errors by comparing the data set in the input field 316 with the contents of the form displayed in the display area 311, and corrects any errors that are found. In this way, the data input support device 100 can save the user the trouble of inputting data themselves, contributing to a reduction in labor.

In the above embodiment, the user displays the target data of the form in the display area 311 and then inputs data into each input field 316 of the input form while checking the target data. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Even if there is no image of the target data, that is, even if a data file of the target data to be the subject of data input exists but the target data does not include an image of the form (a state in which the form is not displayed in the display area 311), the user can input data into the input field 316, and the data input support device 100 stores the input data in the storage unit 110. In other words, even if target data that does not include an image is selected, the data input support device 100 accepts data input into the input field 316 and stores it. This assumes, for example, a case in which the user inputs data while referring to a paper form or a form displayed on another device.

In addition, in the above embodiment, data input on a form was described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the data input support system 1000 including the data input support device 100 can be used to create input forms used for inputting and storing the results of some work, to support data input, or to output the data, etc.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, while an image of a form is displayed in display area 311, the layout of the input form displayed in display area 312 is adjusted to create an input form as desired by the user, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even if there is no image of a form to be displayed in display area 311 (a state in which no form is displayed in display area 311), the user can adjust the layout, such as the width of input fields, and create and save the desired input form.

Figure 16 is a diagram showing an example of the hardware configuration of the data input support device 100. As shown in the figure, the data input support device 100 has a processing device 1010, a main memory device 1020, an auxiliary memory device 1030, and a communication device 1040, and each component is connected by a bus 1050.

The processing device 1010 is an arithmetic device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and executes processing according to a program stored in the main memory device 1020 or the auxiliary memory device 1030. In the data entry support device 100, processing is performed by the processing device 1010 which operates according to a program read onto the main memory device 1020. The processing unit 120 realizes each function by the processing device 1010 executing the program.

The main memory 1020 is a memory device such as a RAM (Random Access Memory) or a flash memory, and functions as a storage area from which programs and data are temporarily read. The auxiliary memory 1030 is a writable and readable memory device. The functions of the memory unit 110 are realized by the main memory 1020 or the auxiliary memory 1030. The communication device 1040 is an interface for connecting the data input support device 100 to an external device for communication.

The processing of each component of the data entry support device 100 may be executed by a single piece of hardware, or may be executed by multiple pieces of hardware. Furthermore, the processing of each component of the data entry support device 100 may be realized by a single program, or may be realized by multiple programs.

The above-mentioned embodiment examples have been described in detail to make the present invention easier to understand, and the present invention is not limited to having all of the configurations described here. It is also possible to replace part of the configuration of one example of an embodiment with the configuration of another example. It is also possible to add the configuration of another example to the configuration of one example of an embodiment. It is also possible to add, delete, or replace part of the configuration of each example of an embodiment with other configurations.
