Hereinafter, the operation of the electronic application system will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

Each information collection server 6 existing on the network 9 has a predetermined target for collecting information individually. The information collection server 6 automatically extracts the attributes, summaries, locations, and the like from the databases existing on the network 9 in advance and accumulates them in the search database 61. Also, each information collection server 6 stores information such as attributes and locations of applications existing on the network 9 in the search database 61. That is,
The information collection server 6 executes an information collection process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2 at a predetermined timing, and accumulates the collected data in the search database 61.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the information collection process is started, the information collection server 6 accesses a database or application within a predetermined collection target range (step S1). It is determined whether the access target is a database or an application (program) (step S2). If the access target is a database, information indicating the attribute, summary, and location of the information is extracted (step S3), and a search database is extracted. 61 (step S4).

If it is determined in step S2 that the application is an application, information indicating the attribute and location of the application is extracted (step S5), the process proceeds to step S4, and is registered in the search database 61. The registered contents of the search database 61 stored in the information collection server 6 are composed of attributes, summaries, information locations, and the like. An example is shown in FIG. The search database 61 may store a full-text search index or the like as necessary, as shown in FIG.

As described above, in the state where the search database 61 has been constructed in the information collection server 6, the user requests a procedure, and the application process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4 is started.

The procedure request from the user is accepted by the presentation server 2 via the user terminal 1, and a procedure request process is first performed (step S11). FIG. 5 shows a detailed flow of the procedure request processing. As shown in FIG.
Security processing such as user authority confirmation (step S21) and personal authentication confirmation (step S22) is performed.
As a result of the security processing in steps S21 and S22, when the user's authority and personal authentication are confirmed (step S23), access to the electronic application system is permitted (step S24). If access is permitted, the presentation server 2 sends the user terminal 1
, The user is prompted to input the text of the procedure request, and the user inputs the text of the procedure request (step S25).
Return to the main routine. Subsequent session management between the user and the electronic application system is also performed by the presentation server 2.

If it is determined in step S23 that at least one of the authority of the user and the authentication of the user is not confirmed, access is denied (step S26), and an end process such as an error warning and an end display is performed (step S2).
7), the application process is terminated halfway.

The information search server 3 notified of the request input from the presentation server 2 executes a search request process for searching for information corresponding to the request input (step S12). FIG. 6 shows a detailed flowchart of the search request process. First, the keyword extracting unit 31 analyzes the input text of the procedure request and extracts a keyword from the text (step S31). Next, the technical term development unit 32
Edits search conditions by adding procedural terms closely related to the extracted keyword to the keyword (step S3).
2). The search condition generating unit 33 generates a search condition based on the extracted keyword and the added procedural term (step S33), returns to the main routine of FIG. 4, and sends the search condition to the DB access management server 5. Notice.

The DB access management server 5 extracts information characteristic of each information collection server from each information collection server 6 and stores it in the selection database 51 in advance. When a search condition is given, this DB access management server 5
Uses the selection database 51 to select the information collection server 6 in which information matching the search condition exists (step S13). The DB access management server 5 requests the selected information collection server 6 to perform a search, and causes the search to be performed (step S14). The DB access management server 5 integrates the search results from each information collection server 6 and returns them to the information search server 3 as search results (step S15). The search result returned to the information search server 3 is presented on a display or the like of the user terminal 1 via the presentation server 2.

The user confirms the returned search result, and performs a procedural process such as accessing the database and activating the application based on the search result (step S).
16). Access to the actual information and activation of the application are performed based on the returned location information.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of this procedure. In the procedure processing, first, the user selects a procedure to be executed from the presented contents (step S41).
It is determined whether the selected procedure is display of information, activation of the application, or termination of the procedure (step S42). If the selected procedure is the activation of the application, the application server is started. 4, the corresponding application is started (step S43). When the application is started, the application server 4 determines whether or not access to the database is necessary (step S44). When accessing the database, the application server 4 sends the required database, for example, the existing core database 81 from the network 9 to the required database. Then, access is made via the interface matching module 71 (step S45), and the procedure is completed, and step S41 is completed.
Return to

When it is necessary to access a plurality of databases, the database is accessed in step S45, and the process returns to step S44 to determine whether or not there are any more databases to be accessed. The process is repeated until there are no more databases to be processed. In this way, for example, by automatically and sequentially accessing the databases of the plurality of existing systems 8, the processing is completed in a lump and the process returns to step S41.

If it is determined in step S42 that the selected procedure is to display information, the corresponding information is retrieved and displayed as necessary (step S46),
It returns to step S41. If it is determined in step S42 that the end of the procedure has been selected, the process returns to the main routine and ends.

According to such an electronic application system, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Since a business application for application processing can be executed across a plurality of databases or the like of an existing system, a complicated notification operation can be executed / completed in one procedure. (2) Due to the realization of session management during system operation, the security confirmation of the user only needs to be performed once even for the complicated notification as described above.

(3) Since the system can be operated by interactive operation in everyday language, the user can operate the system appropriately without knowing the details of the procedure work or the exact procedure name, etc. Can receive. (4) Procedures can be completed without the need for human assistance such as explanations and guidance during the procedures, and application processing by operation from the nearest street corner terminal or home terminal will also be possible .

(5) Since the DB access management server 5 is installed, information closely related to a user's procedure request can be efficiently acquired from a wide range. (6) Since the information collection server 6 is installed, existing service providers can also newly add, for example, HTML (Hypertext Markup).
(Language) It is possible to participate in the system and provide information without burdening a special operation such as creating a document.
