Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable even an unexperienced person to issue a slip regarding an event easily and speedily without overlooking a necessary slip and repeatedly inputting the same item contents to another slip by displaying only necessary relative slips according to experts' knowledge when questions related to the event is answered. SOLUTION: A slip narrowing-down process 2 takes the questions related to the event out of a basic table 4 and displays them on a screen in response to the input or selection of the event on the screen. Then it is decided whether a corresponding slip is needed or not according to the answers to the questions and slips are narrowed down to only the slips decided to be necessary; and the narrowed-down slips are taken out and displayed in order, or several slips are displayed. At this time, when an answer to a question is YES or NO, it is decided that the corresponding slip in the basic table 4 is needed or unneeded, and when the answer to the question is larger or smaller than a specific threshold, it is decided that the corresponding slip in the basic table 4 is needed or unneeded, thus narrowing down the slips.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic slip system for automatically extracting and displaying slips corresponding to an answer to a question related to an event, and for issuing slips without duplicating input.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a related slip for an event on a screen of a terminal is created and requested to be processed, for example, an operator takes out a necessary slip related to the marriage, which is an event, by utilizing his specialized knowledge ( Display) Enter in the slip and issue a request for processing, or display a list of all the slips and select the necessary slips by utilizing your expertise and enter the slips I was requesting (forwarding).

[0003]

Therefore, if the operator has the expert knowledge as to which voucher is related to the occurred event, the voucher is taken out (displayed) and necessary items are input. You can make a request and request (forward).

However, if the operator has no specialized knowledge of the event, or if it is difficult to select which of the related slips is the related slip even if a list of all slips is displayed, the related slip cannot be selected. , There was a problem that I overlooked the necessary slips and forgot to ask.

Further, when there are a plurality of slips related to a certain phenomenon, the same item contents are input for each slip, or a plurality of slips are displayed on the screen at the same time and copied. There is a problem that operability is poor because the operation is required.

In order to solve these problems, the present invention automatically displays only the necessary related slips based on the knowledge of an expert when answering a question related to an event, and when inputting to the slips. If you enter the relevant item only once, it will be automatically entered and displayed on other slips, even if you are an inexperienced person, you will not overlook the necessary slips and duplicate input of the same item contents on other slips, The purpose is to easily, quickly and confidently raise a slip related to an event.

[0007]

Means for solving the problem will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the slip narrowing process 2 extracts and displays a question related to an event from the basic table 4, determines whether a slip is necessary or unnecessary based on the answer to the question, and only the slips determined to be necessary are displayed. It is to narrow down.

The basic table 4 is a table in which slips are set in association with questions related to events. The item takeover table 43 stores items and the like which are input to the slip and are to be taken over.

Item takeover matrix table 44
Is for setting the relation with other slips that inherit the items entered in the slip. The voucher processing 6 is for issuing the narrowed slips.

Next, the operation will be described. The slip narrowing processing 2 responds to the input or selection of an event on the screen, retrieves and displays the question related to the event from the basic table 4, and determines whether the corresponding slip is necessary or unnecessary based on the answer of the question. Then, only the slips determined to be necessary are narrowed down, and the narrowed slips are sequentially taken out and displayed or a plurality of them are displayed on the screen.

At this time, the answer to the question is YES or NO.
When the answer to the question is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value or less than a predetermined threshold value, the corresponding slip in the basic table 4 is determined to be necessary or unnecessary. I try to narrow it down.

After inputting the items of the voucher narrowed down as necessary and displaying other related vouchers, the drafting process 6 refers to the item takeover table 43 and the item takeover matrix table 44, etc. Then, when the information of the takeover is stored, the item of the relevant slip is taken out, and is transcribed and displayed on the item of the slip.

Therefore, when the question related to the event is answered, only the relevant related slips required based on the expert's knowledge are automatically displayed, or the related items can be input only once when entering the slips. For example, even if an inexperienced person does not overlook a necessary slip and does not duplicate the same item contents on other slips, it is easy, quick and Without a doubt, it is possible to issue a slip related to the event.

[0014]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Next, an embodiment and an operation of the present invention will be sequentially described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a system configuration diagram of the present invention.
In FIGS. 1A to 1E, screen 1 is an event-specific menu, an event-specific question screen, a slip input screen, and the like.

In the slip narrowing process 2, a question related to an event is taken out from the basic table 4 and displayed, and a necessary slip is determined by determining whether a corresponding slip is necessary or unnecessary based on the answer of the question. It is to narrow down (described later with reference to FIG. 2).

The initial process 3 is for performing various initial processes, and here, a basic table (events) 4 for events specified on the screen 1 is fetched from the basic table (all events) 4. It is a thing.

The basic table 4 is a table in which a question and a slip are associated with each other in advance (see FIG. 4). The work table 42 is a work table. Here, the basic table (events) 4 is copied to set the necessity / non-necessity of the slip based on the answer to the question.

The screen control process 5 displays various screens. In the drafting process 6, the narrowed slips are displayed and input on the screen 1, or the item transfer table 43 and the item transfer matrix table 44 are referred to to input the items already input in the slips at the time of the related slips. It is for copying and omitting duplicate input.

The item takeover table 43 is for setting the slips, the contents of the slips, and the like to be the items to be handed over. The item transfer matrix table 44 is for registering the relationship of transfer items between slips and omitting duplicate input. The relation of the transfer items between the slips may be described in the program.

Next, the entire operation will be described in the order of (a) to (e) of FIG. FIG. 1A shows a situation in which the event-specific menu is displayed on the screen 1 and the event “marriage” is selected.

(1) All events are fetched from the basic table (all events) 4 and displayed on the screen 1 as an event-specific menu (see STEP 2 in FIG. 7). (2) One event, "marriage" is selected by the user from the event-specific menu on screen 1.

(3) The initial process 3 extracts the information of the event "marriage" selected in (2) from the basic table (all events) 4 and stores the basic table (marriage) 4 in the work area.

FIG. 1B shows a situation in which the event-based question is displayed on the screen 1. (4) An event-specific question is displayed on the screen 1 from the basic table (marriage) 4 (see STEP 3 in FIG. 7).

In FIG. 1C, Q /
Show how A (answer question) is performed. This involves repeatedly answering the question on the question-specific question screen, extracting and narrowing down the necessary slips.

FIG. 1 (d) shows a situation in which a ticket is started from the question-specific question screen. (5) Since necessary slips have been extracted (narrowed down) from the answers to the questions in (4), preparation for drafting is performed by creating input fields for necessary slips and slip contents.

FIG. 1 (e) shows a situation in which vouchers are sequentially issued to display a slip on the screen 1 and items are taken over. (6) The user inputs necessary items from the slip displayed on the screen 1. At this time, when it is determined that the slip referring to the item takeover table 43 and the item takeover matrix table 44 is associated with another slip, if the slip has already been input to another slip, the item is taken out and the corresponding item of the slip is taken out. , And duplicate input is omitted.

As described above, questions by event are displayed, and only necessary slips are extracted (narrowed down) based on the answers,
The necessary slips are sequentially displayed and input into the items, and while referring to the takeover table 43 and the item takeover matrix table 44, the already input items are taken out between the slips and displayed on other slips to omit duplicate input. However, even an inexperienced person who does not have specialized knowledge can definitely and surely issue a necessary slip among complicated related slips without duplicate input. The details will be sequentially described below.

Next, the details of the slip narrowing processing of FIG. 1 will be described in the order shown in the flowcharts of FIGS. 2 and 3 show a slip narrowing processing flowchart of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, S1 inputs an employee number. This is to record the operator who has entered the slip. S2 displays the selected event block.
This retrieves and displays the block of the event (for example, "marriage") selected on the event-specific menu of STEP 2 of FIG. 7 described later from the basic table (all events) 4 of FIG.

In step S3, the contents of the basic table are stored in the work table. This stores the contents of the event block extracted and displayed in S2 in the work table. For example, the contents of the event block selected from the basic table (all events) 4 of FIG. 4A described later are stored in the work table 42 of FIG. 4B.

In step S4, the question item is input. This is S
Input the answer to the question item displayed on the screen of the event “marriage” of STEP 3 of FIG.
Here, either Y / N is input.

In step S5, it is determined whether the question items have been input. In the case of YES, since the input of Y / N of the question items has been completed, the process proceeds to S10. On the other hand, in the case of NO,
If the input content is Y or N in S6, the process proceeds to S7, and if not, the process proceeds to S12 in FIG.

In step S7, it is determined which of Y / N is selected as the question result. If Y is selected, the corresponding slip in the work table 42 for the question is set to "0" (representing necessity) in S8, and the process returns to S2. On the other hand, when N is selected, the corresponding slip in the work table 42 for the question is set to "1" (indicating unnecessary) in S9, and the process returns to S2.

By the above S1 to S9, the question item of the selected event is displayed as shown on the left side of the screen of STEP 3 of FIG. 7, and Y or N is sequentially displayed for this question item.
In response to the input of, the necessary slips in the work table 42 are repeatedly set to "0" and unnecessary slips are set to "1". It is possible to separate (necessary) only necessary slips by dividing into necessary slips and unnecessary slips.

In step S10, it is determined whether or not the draft has been issued. This is S1
By answering the question in S9 to S9, only the necessary slips are automatically extracted (narrowed down), and it is determined whether or not to start the slips of the extracted necessary slips. If YES, S1
In step 1, a pre-draft process (creating necessary slips and input fields for slip contents) and an item takeover table 43 (see description of FIG. 5B described later) are created.

With the above steps S10 to S11, the slips and input fields, and the item transfer table 43 can be created when the slips automatically extracted as necessary from the answers to the questions in S1 to S9 are found to be the starting slips. Yes, the order of drafting is completed.

In FIG. 3, S12 is N in S6 of FIG.
When it is determined that the input content is neither Y nor N in O, it is determined whether the input value is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, here, 30 or more (30 years or more). If YES, the corresponding slip in the work table 42 for the question is set to "1" (indicating unnecessary), as in S9 of FIG. 2 already described in S13, and S of FIG.
Return to 2. On the other hand, in the case of NO, similar to S8 of FIG. 2 already described in S14, the corresponding slip in the work table 42 for the question is set to “0” (representing necessity), and S2 of FIG.
Return to

The above NO in S6 of FIG. 2 and S in FIG.
From 11 to S14, it is determined whether the answer to the question item is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value (here, 30 years or older), and "0" is added to the necessary slips and "1" to the unnecessary slips in the work table 42. By repeating the setting and answering the question without specialized knowledge, the necessary slips and unnecessary slips are automatically divided, and only the necessary slips can be extracted (narrowed down).

FIG. 4 shows an example (1) of the table of the present invention. FIG. 4A shows an example of the basic table. In the basic table 4, as shown in the figure, slips a, b, c, d are associated with each question “marriage”, “phenomenon B” ... , E ... are provided with columns for setting necessary / unnecessary. Here, "1" represents an unnecessary slip, and other blanks represent "0" (necessary slip).

FIG. 4B shows an example of the work table. This work table 42 is, here, question 1,
Columns for slips a, b, c, d, and e are provided in association with 2, 3, and 4, and either "1" (representing unnecessary slips) or blank "0" (representing necessary slips) in this column. To set.

FIG. 4C shows an example of the text table. This is a table in which the texts of questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the work table 42 for each event of the basic table 4 of FIG. 4A or each event of FIG. 4B are set. Here, as shown in the drawing, the text contents of the question of the event "marriage", and among the slips required when the event "marriage" occurs, the necessity / impossible depending on the question /
This is a question sentence for determining unnecessaryness.

Question 1 has the content "Do you want to change your address?" -Question 2 has the content of "Do you want to change your family name?" Here, for example, when the event “marriage” occurs, in question 1, if the answer “YES” is entered in response to “change address?”, Question 1 of the work table 42 in FIG. Here, in the column of the intersection of the slip a and “address change notification”,
Set as "0" (required slip). Similarly, in Question 2,
If you answer "YES" to "Do you want to change your family name?", Enter "0" in the column of the intersection of question 2 and slip b "Notification of change of family name" in the work table 42 of FIG. 4B. Set as "(Required slip)." If NO, "1" (unnecessary slip) is set at each time.

Similarly, in the case of the work table 42 shown in FIG. 4B, the questions 3 and 4 are set to "1" when the answer is YES and "0" when the answer is NO. Then, assuming that the answer "1" or "0" for all the questions is set and the situation becomes as shown in FIG. 4B, here, the finally necessary slips are the questions 1 to 4
In this case, the slips a and d for which no "1" (unnecessary slip) has been set are extracted as necessary slips.

FIG. 5 shows an example (No. 2) of the table of the present invention. FIG. 5A shows an example of an item takeover table. The item transfer table 43 is a table set as shown below to transfer the item contents once input to a slip to another slip and omit duplicate input. Here, the settings are as shown below.

Employee Number Target Voucher Voucher Content (Free Format) # 001 Voucher a # 001 Voucher d Here, the employee number is the employee number input in S1 of FIG. 2 described above. The slips a and d of the target slips are set as "1" and "0" as in the work table 42 of FIG. 4B described above and finally extracted as necessary slips. . The slip content is a column for setting the content for the extracted target slip.

FIG. 5B shows an example of the item takeover matrix table. This item takeover matrix table 44 is the item takeover table 4 of FIG.
Among the target slips set to 3, if any of the slip items is input, it is automatically displayed and input in the related other slip items to make an association. For example, if "1" (representing a takeover item) is set at the intersection of the slips a and d as shown in the figure, either the slip a or the slip d in the item takeover table 43 of FIG. When input, the contents of the item are automatically displayed and input without inputting other slips, and duplicate input is omitted.

Next, the drafting process will be described in detail according to the order shown in the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 6 shows a voucher processing flowchart of the present invention.

In FIG. 6, S21 reads the first item transfer table. For example, the slip a in FIG. 5A is read. In S22, the contents of the slip are inserted. For example, on the screen of STEP 2 of FIG. 8, "new address" is entered in the form of the contents of the form a "address change notice" as shown.

In step S23, the contents are stored in the item takeover table. For example, "new address" is stored in the field of the slip contents of the slip a of the item transfer table 43 described on the right side of STEP 2 in FIG.

A step S24 reads the next item transfer table. Here, the next slip d of the slip a in the item transfer table 43 described on the right side of STEP 2 in FIG. 8 is read. In S25, it is determined whether or not there is data in the item transfer table. Here, if the presence or absence of data is determined for the slip d read in S24, the slip d of the item takeover table 43 described on the right side of STEP 2 in FIG. Proceed to. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no data, the process ends.

In step S26, it is determined whether or not there is an item to be inherited in the item inheritance matrix table. Here, in the item transfer matrix table 44 shown in FIG. 5B, the slips a and S24 in which the slip contents are stored in S23 are stored.
When it is determined whether or not there is an item transfer to the next read slip d, "1" is set at the intersection of the two and it is determined that there is a transfer, so item transfer is performed in S27, that is, the item on the right side of FIG. The slip content "new address" of the slip a in the transfer table 43 is transferred to the slip content of the next slip d, and the "new address" is automatically input and displayed.
At 28, the process is forwarded to the next process, and if it is necessary to input the contents of the slip, the process returns to S22.
Return to 23 and repeat. On the other hand, if there is nothing in S26, S
In step 28, the process is forwarded to the next process. Similarly, if the slip content needs to be input, the process returns to S22, and if the slip content does not need to be input, the process returns to S23 and repeats.

As described above, when answering a question of an event and inputting to a slip automatically extracted, if it is a takeover item, if inputting to a takeover item of a certain slip, it is automatically made to a takeover item of another slip. Since it is transcribed, it is possible to eliminate duplicated input and prevent mistakes such as incorrect input in the same item, correction of one and not correction of the other.
