1. System Overview FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an overview of a document management system 1000. As shown in FIG. 1, the document management system 1000 includes a server 100 (information processing apparatus) and terminals (personal computers) 200, 210, 220, 230,.

  The server apparatus 100 is connected to a plurality of terminals 200, 210, 220, 230,... Via a network 300 such as the Internet. Terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230 are operated by respective users 400, 410, 420, and 430. The server 100 has a control unit 110 and a database 160. Terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230 include a display unit, and application screens 201, 211, 221, and 231 are displayed on the display unit. Terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230 include receiving units 203, 213, 223, and 233 that receive screen data transmitted from server 100.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an application screen displayed on the terminals 200, 210, 220, 230. 2 shows the application screens 201 and 211 displayed on the terminals 200 and 210, but the same display is performed on the other terminals 220, 230. In the terminals 200 and 210, the users 400 and 410 can view the application screens 201 and 211 of the document management system transmitted from the server 100 using a Web browser (WWW browser). Specifically, a service such as “WWW (World Wide Web)” that provides multimedia information having a hyperlink structure in which pages are linked from the server 100 to the terminals 200 and 210 is provided. The WWW transfers data according to a protocol called HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), displays websites on the screen using HTML (HyperText Markup Language) files, and displays information on the screen. It has been made easy to search and display. When the users 400 and 410 obtain hyperlinked information using a WWW browser, the terminals 200 and 210 have the URL by designating the location (URL (Uniform Resource Locator)) of the home page to be connected first. An information transfer request is made to the server 100. When receiving the request, the server 100 transfers the HTML file of the designated home page to the terminals 200 and 210. The terminals 200 and 210 analyze the HTML file, display a displayable portion on a display unit such as a liquid crystal display, and further transfer request if there is other data such as image information embedded in the HTML file. multiply. Upon receiving the transfer request, the server 100 transfers the HTML file of the specified new page. In this manner, linked file information can be obtained one after another by repeating clicks by the user one after another, whereby the application screens 201 and 211 of the terminals 200 and 210 are changed. Document display areas 202 and 212 are displayed on the display screens of the terminals 200 and 210. Documents being edited by the users 400 and 410 are displayed in the document display areas 202 and 212. Here, for example, a contract is assumed as the document. In addition, on the display screens of the terminals 200 and 210, internal comment areas 204 and 214 and external comment areas 206 and 216 are displayed. In the internal comment areas 204 and 214 and the external comment areas 206 and 216, it is possible to manage and display comment threads for internal and external use separately. Further, version list display areas 208 and 218 are displayed on the display screen. In the version list display areas 208 and 218, a list of documents before update which is not the current version is displayed, and by specifying each document, the documents before update can be displayed in the document display areas 202 and 212. . In addition, it is possible to bookmark a word used in a document and use it for other documents.

  Similarly, application screens 221 and 231 are displayed on the terminals 220 and 230, respectively, and a document display area 222, an internal comment area 224, an external comment area 226, and a version list display area 228 are displayed on the application screen 221. . In addition, a document display area 232, an internal comment area 234, an external comment area 236, and a version list display area 238 are displayed on the application screen 231.

  Assuming that a contract is assumed as a document and that exchanges are made between companies, in general, when one company reviews the contract internally, Comments may be added, and contracts are edited and updated only by one user within the company, and similarly, multiple users collaborate within the other company. As a result, the contract is edited and updated. For example, when the users 400 and 420 belong to one of the two companies that exchange the contract and the users 410 and 430 belong to the other, the users 400 and 420 enter the internal comment areas 204 and 224. Documents in the document display areas 202 and 222 are edited while describing internal comments. At this time, the documents and internal comments in the document display areas 202 and 222 being edited are displayed only on the terminals 200 and 220 of the users 400 and 420, and are not displayed on the terminals 210 and 230 of the users 410 and 430. When editing by the users 400 and 420 is completed and the contract document is stored in a state that can be browsed to the outside, the document display areas 212 and 232 of the terminals 210 and 230 of the users 410 and 430 can be browsed. The contract is displayed. At this time, the external comments described in the external comment areas 206 and 226 by the users 400 and 420 are also displayed in the external comment areas 216 and 236 of the terminals 210 and 230 of the users 410 and 430.

  Thereafter, the users 410 and 430 edit the documents in the document display areas 212 and 232 while describing the internal comments in the internal comment areas 214 and 234 while referring to the contract displayed in the document display areas 212 and 232. To go. At this time, the documents and internal comments in the document display areas 212 and 232 being edited are displayed only on the terminals 210 and 230 of the users 410 and 430 and are not displayed on the terminals 200 and 220 of the users 400 and 420. When editing by the users 410 and 430 is completed and the contract is saved in a state that can be browsed to the outside, the documents 400 and 420 can be browsed in the document display areas 202 and 222 of the terminals 200 and 220. The contract is displayed. At this time, the external comments described in the external comment areas 216 and 236 by the users 410 and 430 are also displayed in the external comment areas 206 and 226 of the terminals 200 and 220 of the users 400 and 420. The users 400 and 420 cannot confirm the editing history of the users 410 and 430, but the documents stored in a state that they can be viewed for the outside and the users 410 and 430 to the outside. By comparing with a document stored in a viewable state, the contents edited by the users 410 and 430 can be grasped.

  Accordingly, the users 400 and 420 belonging to one company can edit the contract without notifying the company 410 and 430 of the contract being edited and the contents of the internal comments. Similarly, the users 410 and 430 belonging to the other company can edit the contract being edited and the contents of internal comments without notifying the company of the users 400 and 420. In addition, the users 400 and 420 belonging to one company and the users 410 and 430 belonging to the other company can share the contents of the contract stored in a state that can be browsed to the outside and external comments. Therefore, the contents of the contract can be exchanged.

2. Server Configuration FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the server 100. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the server 100 includes a control unit 110, a communication unit (I / F) 150, and a database 160. The control unit 110 can be composed of a central processing unit such as a CPU and a program (software) for causing it to function. The control unit 110 includes a screen creation unit 112, a process execution unit 114, a content change unit 116, an additional data creation unit 118, a search unit 122, an affiliation management unit 124, a position information addition unit 126, and a bookmark registration unit 128. It is configured.

  The screen creation unit 112 prepares information regarding the application screens 201, 211, 211, and 231 described above, and transmits the information to the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230. As described above, when the users 400 and 410 specify a URL and the terminals 200 and 210 make a transfer request for information on the URL, the server 100 transfers the HTML file of the specified home page to the terminals 200 and 210. To do. The terminals 200 and 210 analyze the HTML file, display a displayable portion on a display unit such as a liquid crystal display, and further transfer request if there is other data such as image information embedded in the HTML file. multiply. At the same time, a qualitative part such as an icon in the image is sent as information separate from a part that dynamically changes based on a request from the user. Screen data transmitted by the screen creation unit 112 via the communication unit (I / F) 150 includes document display areas 202, 212, 222, 232, internal comment areas 204, 214, 224, 234, and external comment areas 206, 216. , 226, 236 and is displayed on the terminals 200, 210, 220, 230 of the users 400, 410, 420, 430. Various requests (requests) are transmitted to the server 200 by operations of the users 400, 410, 420, and 430 on the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230, and based on this, the process execution unit 114 is based on the various requests. Each unit is operated to execute predetermined processing, and the screen creation unit 112 performs screen creation processing. At that time, screen creation processing is performed using information in the database 160.

  As a request transmitted from the terminal 200, 210, 220, 230 by the user 400, 410, 420, 430, editing of the contract displayed in the document display areas 202, 212, 222, 232, addition of an internal comment, and an external comment , Position information addition, bookmark addition and the like. These will be described in detail later.

3. Information Stored in Database FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing information stored in the database 160. The document management system 100 is used by a plurality of users 400, 410, 420, and 430 belonging to different organizations (including companies). Information related to the organization is stored in the database 160 as organization information 162. One organization information includes, for example, an organization ID and an organization name, and a plurality of organization information is stored in the database 160.

  Information about the users 400, 410, 420, and 430 is stored in the database 160 as user information 164. One piece of user information includes, for example, the IDs and names of the users 400, 410, 420, and 430, the ID of the organization to which the user belongs, and a plurality of pieces of user information are stored in the database 160. The affiliation management unit 124 of the server 100 manages the organization information 162 and the user information 164.

  Documents managed by the document management system 1000 are stored in the database 160. Each time the user 400, 410, 420, 430 changes and saves a document, a new document information 166 entity is created in the database 160 as a revised version. Hereinafter, this is referred to as a revised version 168. The content changing unit 116 changes the document information in response to a request from the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230, and creates a revised version 168 in response to the change. The latest revision 168 is referred to as document information 166. In the present embodiment, the document data based on the document information 166 and the revised version 168 is content data used by the user. The content data is data of other content such as image data, audio data, and moving image data. It may be. Each time a document is stored, a plurality of revisions 168 are stored in correspondence with one document. Information necessary for this management is referred to as management information 170. The management information 170 manages information for associating a document with a revised version 168 and information on users 400, 410, 420, and 430 of the document. There may be a plurality of users 400, 410, 420, and 430 who use the document, or they may straddle a plurality of organizations. When the revised version 168 is stored as internal by the content changing unit 116 in response to a user's request, the revised version 168 is internal only disclosed inside the organization. On the other hand, the revised version 168 is transmitted to the terminal outside the organization as a revised version 168 for the outside when the content changing unit 116 stores the revised version 168 in response to a user request. Therefore, each revised version 168 is given an attribute (disclosure destination information) indicating external or internal. The disclosure destination information is composed of, for example, an organization ID indicating the organization. Since the user ID is associated with the organization ID, as a result, the disclosure destination can be defined by using the organization ID as the disclosure destination information. Further, for example, by using a user ID as disclosure destination information, it becomes possible to define a disclosure destination in units of users regardless of the organization. This attribute is managed by the management information 170. The communication unit 150 transmits the revised version 168 to each terminal 200, 210, 220, 230. At this time, the latest revision 168 is transmitted as the latest document information 166, and other revisions 168 are transmitted as additional data added to the latest revision 168.

  Users 400, 410, 420, 430 can create internal comments or external comments and associate them with the revised version 168. Information corresponding to a comment is referred to as comment information 171, and an attribute (disclosure destination information) indicating whether the comment information 171 is internal or external is given. An internal comment can be changed to an external comment in response to a request from the user. The revised version 168 and the comment information 171 other than the latest document information 166 described above are referred to as additional data (edit data) added to the latest revised version 168. The additional data creation unit 118 of the server 100 creates comment information 171 in response to requests from the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230. At this time, in response to a request from the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230, an attribute indicating whether it is for the inside or the outside is given. Information for managing the plurality of comments is referred to as comment management information 172. FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram showing the comment management information 172. The comment management information 172 includes, for example, the ID of the user 400, 410, 420, 430 who created the comment, disclosure destination information, information indicating internal or external information, the ID of the revised version 168 corresponding to the comment, and the revised version 168 includes position information (reference data) 174, a comment addition date and time, and the like. The position information 174 designates a specific range in the revised edition 168, that is, a sentence portion. The position information adding unit 126 of the server 100 adds the position information 174 to the comment information 171 in response to a request from the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230.

  Any of the users 400, 410, 420, and 430 can change the document and add a comment, but a plurality of users 400, 410, 420, and 430 cannot be performed at the same time, and are exclusive. Only one of them can do it. However, it is also possible to allow a plurality of users to change different parts of the document at the same time and add comments at the same time. The screen creation unit 112 creates screen data including the latest document information 166, the revised version 168, and the comment information 171, and the communication unit 150 displays the screen data on the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230. , 210, 220, 230. Of the screen data, the document information 166 is displayed in the document display areas 202, 212, 222, and 232, and the comment information 171 is the internal comment areas 204, 214, 224, 234, or the external depending on whether the attribute is internal or external. It is displayed in the comment areas 206, 216, 226, and 236. The revised version 168 is displayed in the document display areas 202, 212, 222, and 232 in response to a user request.

  The comment management information 172 includes information for identifying whether the comment is an internal comment for the organization to which the user belongs or an external comment for the outside of the organization based on the attribute of the comment information 171. This information is referred to as comment disclosure range information (disclosure destination information) 176. Based on the disclosure destination information, the communication unit 150 of the server 100 transmits the additional data permitted to be disclosed at each terminal 200, 210, 220, 230 to each terminal 200, 210, 220, 230. At this time, the process execution unit 114 of the control unit 110 analyzes the additional data and the disclosure destination information, and transmission to each terminal 200, 210, 220, 230 is performed based on the analysis result. Specifically, the operation processing analysis unit 114 of the control unit 110 compares the identification information of the users 400, 410, 420, and 430 of the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230 with the disclosure destination information, so that the terminal For 200, 210, 220, and 230, it is determined whether disclosure of additional data is permitted. Then, the additional data is transmitted to terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230 that are permitted to disclose the additional data. For example, an internal comment and an external comment are transmitted to a terminal in an organization to which the user belongs, and only an external comment is transmitted to a terminal in an organization to which the user does not belong. The comment disclosure range information 176 may be associated with each comment information 171. In the above example, since the users 400 and 420 belong to one company (organization), the internal document information 166 created by the users 400 and 420 is stored in the terminals 200 and 220 of the users 400 and 420. Internal comment, external comment, internal revision 168, and external revision 168. Also, the internal document information 166, internal comments, and internal revision 168 created by the users 400 and 420 are sent to the terminals 210 and 230 of the users 410 and 430 belonging to the other company. Only the external document information 166, external comments, and external revision 168 created by the users 400 and 420 are sent.

  Similarly, since the users 410 and 430 belong to the other company (organization), the internal document information 166 created by the users 410 and 430 is stored in the terminals 210 and 230 of the users 410 and 430. Comments, external comments, internal revisions 168, and external revisions 168 are sent. Also, the internal document information 166, internal comments, and internal revision 168 created by the users 410 and 430 are sent to the terminals 200 and 220 of the users 400 and 420 belonging to one company. Only the external document information 166, external comments, and external revision 168 created by the users 410 and 430 are sent.

  Internal comments and external comments related to the users 400, 410, 420, and 430 are internal comment areas 204, 214, 224, and 234 and external comment areas in the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230 in FIG. 206, 216, 226, and 236. Internal comments and external comments are displayed in timeline in time series.

  As described above, the comment information 171 can be associated with the position information 174 indicating a specific range in a certain revision 168. That is, there are comments for the latest revision 168 (document information 166) and comments for the past revision 168. When the comment information 171 of the internal comment areas 204, 214, 224, 234 or the external comment areas 206, 216, 226, 236 has the position information 174, for example, the position information on the display screen of the terminals 200, 210, 220, 230 When the area corresponding to 174 is selected, the location corresponding to the position information 174 in the revised version is displayed in the document display areas 202, 212, 222, and 232 in FIG. In this case, a document that is not the current version can be called up and displayed. Further, by selecting the opposite process, that is, by selecting a part corresponding to the position information 174 in the revised version, it is possible to display a comment corresponding to the position information 174. The search unit 122 of the server 100 selects an area corresponding to the position information 174 on the display screen of the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230, and requests that the specific part of the document be displayed is displayed on the terminals 200, 210, and 220. , 230, the area of the revised version 168 corresponding to the position information 174 is retrieved and transmitted to the terminals 200, 210, 220, 230 for display. As described above, as a method of displaying the revised version 168, in the version list display areas 208 and 218 on the display screen of the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230, the document before update that is not the current version is displayed. By specifying each document from the list, the document before update can be displayed in the document display areas 202 and 212.

  When editing a document such as a contract, it is assumed that a document similar to a previously edited contract is reused. Such reusable words in the document are stored in the database 160 in association with the position management information 175 or without being associated with the position management information 175. FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram showing the position management information 175. As the position management information 175, for example, a specific position in the contract (for example, items such as a party, contract period, contract fee, payment method, etc.) and a word (sentence example) that can be reused in that position are associated with each other. Information is raised. For example, while creating the contract A, the user can register a sentence described at a position a in the document as a bookmark. At this time, the bookmark registration unit 128 registers the bookmark, and is stored as bookmark registration information 178 in the database 160. The bookmark registration information 178 is stored in association with the model by the position information 175 of the position a. In this case, the user reads the text registered in the bookmark by searching the text registered in the bookmark at position a while creating another contract B using the template in which the bookmark is registered. Can be quoted. Note that a search may be performed from all bookmark registration information 178 without specifying a position. In particular, in a document such as a contract, it is assumed that similar words are used, and thus the convenience of document creation can be greatly improved by providing such a bookmark registration function and a search function. Further, for example, by making a quoted portion into a link format, it is possible to realize a screen transition that jumps to a document that is cited when a quoted portion is selected. In this case, the URL of the link destination is stored in the database 160, and the communication unit 150 transmits the URL of the link destination to the terminals 200, 210, 220, and 230. Furthermore, when a URL that uniquely represents the position management information 175 in the document is configured, a user who receives this URL opens the URL, and a screen showing a specific position in the contract specified directly is displayed. It is also possible.
