DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system configuration of an electronic form system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Electronic form server 100 and client 20
0, the management client 300, the personnel server 400, and the host 500 are connected to each other via a network 600.

The client 200 is typically a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a personal computer), and has a configuration described later with reference to FIG. The client 200 also has a reference request unit 201. The reference request unit 201 is, for example, a browser, and the browser program stored in the external storage device (hard disk) is the RA of the client 200.
It is loaded into M22 (see FIG. 2) and executed by the CPU 21. Note that the reference requesting unit 201 may be configured by an electronic form system client dedicated application instead of the browser program.

The management client 300 is typically a personal computer, and has a configuration similar to that of the client 200, which will be described later with reference to FIG. 2, and a browser or an application for the electronic form system management client.

The personnel server 400 stores attendance information 401 in its external storage device (hard disk), extracts attendance information that matches the request based on an external request, and sends it to the requester via the network 600. It has a function. In the hard disk of the host 500, form spool data 501 is stored. Host 500
At, various types of actual form data are input, and the input form is accumulated as spool data 501.

The electronic form server 100 transmits / receives data to / from another computer via the communication unit 101. The attendance information receiving unit 102 is connected to the personnel server 4 via the communication unit 101.
Authentication information and search conditions are sent to 00, and the personnel server 400
The attendance information 401 is received from. This attendance information is sent to the reference request analysis unit 106, and is used for reference request analysis as to whether or not an employee who is supposed to be absent from work is not referring to the electronic form.

When the search unit 103 receives a reference request from the reference request unit 201 of the client 200 via the communication unit 101, the search unit 103 extracts electronic form data matching the conditions from the electronic form 109 based on the reference request. The extracted electronic form data is sent to the display information generation unit 107 via the search unit 103, and the display information to be displayed on the screen of the client 200 is generated. The display information is typically data unique to the form, and may be HTML or text data. This display information is sent to the client 200 via the communication unit 101, and the electronic form data is displayed on the screen of the client 200. On the other hand, the reference request received by the search unit 103 is also sent to the reference request recording unit 104 and recorded in the reference request log 105 in chronological order.

The management client 300 registers a new form and a new user. To register a new form, the management client transmits form information including a form ID and a form name of the electronic form to the electronic form server 100, and the form information is transmitted to the communication unit 101 and the registration unit 10 of the electronic form server 100.
8 is stored in the form information storage unit 110. Based on this form information, the registration unit 108 regularly
With reference to the spool data 501 of 0, the form information storage unit 1
If spool data corresponding to the registered electronic form data in 10 exists, the electronic form data is extracted from the spool data 501 and added to the electronic form storage unit 109 via the communication unit 101. Thus, the electronic form storage unit 10
9 stores a plurality of electronic forms. In addition,
The electronic form storage unit 109 and the form information storage unit 110 are formed on the hard disk 28 in FIG.

Similarly, when registering a new user, the employee code, employee name, authentication data, etc. are stored in the user storage unit 111 of the electronic form server 100 from the management client 300. The user storage unit 111 is also formed on the hard disk 28 in FIG. An example of data in the user storage unit 111 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the use end date indicates the date when the employee was deleted from the user storage unit 111, and the employee cannot refer to the electronic form after the use end date. When the use end date is blank, it means that the employee of the employee code can refer to the electronic form.

The management client 300 analyzes the reference request periodically or at an arbitrary timing. When the management client requests the reference request analysis from the electronic form server 100, the request is transmitted to the reference request analysis unit 106 via the communication unit 101. Reference request analysis unit 106
Analyzes the data in the reference request log 105, the form information storage unit 110, and the user storage unit 111, and then analyzes the analysis information 112.
Is output. The reference request log 105 and the analysis information 112 are also stored in the hard disk 28 in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows an electronic form server 1 according to the embodiment.
00, client 200, management client 300
It is a figure which shows the hardware constitutions of the computer which can be used for etc. In FIG. 2, a chip set, a power supply, etc. are omitted, and for example, a memory bus, an AGP bus, a PCI bus, etc. in a DOS / V personal computer are shown as the system bus 20 without distinction.

As shown in FIG. 2, a CPU 21 for controlling the entire apparatus and executing calculations, a RAM 22 for storing programs and data, and a ROM 23 for storing BIOS and the like.
A LAN adapter 24 for exchanging data with the network 600, a video adapter 25 for interfacing with a display device (not shown), an input unit such as a keyboard 26 and a mouse 27, and a hard disk for storing programs and data. 28 and a CD-ROM drive 29 for reading a CD-ROM storing data and programs are connected via the system bus 20.
Each unit such as the reference request unit 201 and the communication unit 101 illustrated in FIG. 1 is realized by the CPU 21 executing a predetermined control program. For example, the communication unit 101 is realized by the CPU 21 executing a communication program loaded from the hard disk 28 into the RAM 22 and using the LAN adapter 24.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a form registration process of the electronic form system according to the embodiment. First, in step S301, the form information to be newly registered is transmitted from the management client 300 to the electronic form server 100 via the network 600. The form information is sent to the registration unit 108 via the communication unit 101 of the electronic form server 100 in step S302, and is stored in the form information storage unit 110 in step S303. FIG. 8 shows the form information storage unit 1.
10 is an example of data stored in 10. In FIG. 8, the form ID is a unique ID number that identifies the form, the registration date means the date when this form was registered in the electronic form 109, and the registration deletion date also indicates the date when this form was deleted. If the registration deletion date is blank, it means that this form has not been deleted (that is, is valid). During this time, the host 500 creates and stores the spool data 501 of the form at regular intervals or irregularly in step S304.

Next, from the electronic form server 100 to the host 5
00, in principle, a spool summary reference request is issued at regular intervals in step S305. Then, in step S306, the host 500 extracts the spool summary from the spool data 501 and transmits it. The electronic form server 100 receives the spool summary in step S307 and compares it with the form information in the form information storage unit 110 to determine whether there is spool data for which electronic form data is to be created.

If the target spool data exists (Yes in step S308), the process advances to step S309 to request transmission of the corresponding spool data. In response to this request, spool data is transmitted from the host 500 in step S310. Electronic form server 100
When this spool data is received in step S311, it adds it to the electronic form 109 in step S312. If the target spool data does not exist in step S307 (No in step S308), the process ends.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the form reference process of the electronic form system in the embodiment. In step S401, when the search condition of the electronic form is input in the client 200 and the reference request is transmitted, step S401 is performed.
In 402, the electronic form server 100 has a communication unit 101.
After receiving and authenticating this with R, authentication data and reference request
Store in AM22. The authentication data includes the employee number, which is the user ID, and the IP address of the client 200. The above-mentioned authentication is based on the received authentication data (user I
D (employee number) and IP address) is the user storage unit 11
It is done by checking whether it matches the one registered in 1.

In step S403, the search program of the search unit 103 stored in the RAM 22 searches the electronic form 109 based on the search condition included in the received reference request. Then, in step S404, the display information generation unit 107 generates display information for the client 200 based on the search result. The display information is composed of HTML, image data, etc. and is normally stored in the RAM 22. However, when the display information becomes large, it is stored in the hard disk 28 of the electronic form server 100. The display information may be text data or CSV (data separated by commas) when the client-side reference request unit 201 is a client-only application.

Next, in step S405, the created display information for the client 200 is transmitted to the client 200 via the communication unit 101 and the network 600.
In step S406, the client 200 receives this display information, and in step S407, the search result is displayed on the image display device of the client 200. An example of a display screen based on this display information is shown in FIG. In Figure 10, "srep2
An electronic report of the daily sales report "00001 13" is sent to the client 20.
It is displayed on the screen of 0, and the product code, product name, sales person in charge, sales quantity and sales amount are displayed.

On the other hand, in the electronic form server 100, in step S408, the reference request data obtained from a part of the authentication data and the reference request and the display information stored in the RAM 22 is referred by the program of the reference request storage unit 104. It is stored in the log 105.

An example of the reference request log is shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, “time” is the time when the electronic form reference request is received, “user ID” is the employee code in the user storage unit 111 shown in FIG. 9, and “form ID” is the request from the client. The form ID of the referenced electronic form is “User I
The IP address of the client 200 is stored in P. In the “error” column, “0” is stored if the reference is normally completed, and “1” is stored if the reference is abnormally completed.
When the reference request specifies a period, a plurality of electronic forms are referred to. In this case, the plurality of referenced electronic forms are registered in the reference request log, one line for each form. .

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the analysis information creating process of the electronic form system in the embodiment. When the reference request analysis is requested from the management client 300 in step S501, the electronic form server 100 receives the analysis conditions and stores them in the RAM 22 in step S502.
In step S503, the reference request log 105 is read based on the stored analysis conditions.

In step S504, a request for attendance information is sent to the personnel server 400 based on the stored analysis conditions. The personnel server 400 receives the request for attendance information in step S505, extracts the attendance information from the attendance information 401 based on the request received in step S506, and transmits the attendance information to the electronic form server 100. In step S507, the attendance information receiving unit 102 stores attendance information in the hard disk 28. The attendance information may be stored in the RAM 22.

In step S508, the reference request is analyzed,
In step S509, analysis information as an analysis result is created and stored in the hard disk 28. The reference requirement analysis will be described later in detail. In step S510, display information for the management client is created and transmitted based on the created analysis information. In step S511, the display information is received by the management client 200, and in step S5
At 12, the analysis information shown in the screen examples of FIGS. 11 to 15 is displayed on the screen of the management client (not shown).

FIG. 6 is a flow chart for explaining the details of the reference request analysis step S508. First, step S
At 601 each work file is initialized. The work files are the warning list, the form summary file, the user summary file, the analysis work file A and the analysis work file B shown in FIG. 16, which are stored in the external storage device (28) of the electronic form server. , RAM2
If there is room in 2, the work files may be stored in the RAM 22 in whole or in part for speeding up the processing.

In step S602, one line of the reference request log as shown in FIG. 7 is read and stored in the RAM 22 as an analysis target line. Next, in step S603, the same RAM is used.
It is determined whether or not it is within the specified period range included in the analysis condition stored in 22. Note that reference information is registered in the reference request log in time series. When the read reference request log is within the designated period (No in step S603), the process proceeds to step S604 and collated with the attendance information stored in the hard disk 28.

As a result of the above collation, when it is determined that the non-attendee refers to the electronic form (Y in step S605).
es), the process proceeds to step S606, and the data of the relevant analysis target line of the reference log is added to the warning list. This warning list may be, for example, when someone steals another person's password and impersonates another person to refer to the electronic form, or when the person who was on vacation is on vacation but actually attended the work and referred to the electronic form. included. Then, the process proceeds to step S607.

FIG. 16A shows an example of the data structure of the warning list. In the example of FIG. 16, the reference date, employee code, reference form ID, and IP address are the time, user ID, form ID, and user I of the reference request log shown in FIG. 7, respectively.
Corresponds to P.

As a result of the collation, when the attendant refers to the electronic form (Yes in step S605), the process proceeds to step S607 as it is, and the analysis target line of the reference request log is collated with the form summary file. Form I of the reference log
If the same form ID as D already exists in the form summary file (No in step S608), step S60
In step 9, the “reference count” of the line containing the form ID in the form summary file is incremented.

On the other hand, if the same form ID as the form ID of the reference log does not exist in the form summary file (Yes in step S608), the process proceeds to step S610, and a line including the form ID is added to the form summary file. Then, in step S611, the "reference count" of the row is "1".
Is set to.

FIG. 16B is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the form summary file, in which the form ID, the form name, and the reference count are registered. The form name is acquired by referring to the form information storage unit 110 (FIG. 8) by the form ID. Also,
The reference count is updated in steps S609 and S611.

Next, in step S612, the reference request log is collated with the user summary file, and if the same user ID as the user ID of the reference log already exists in the user summary file (No in step S613). ), Proceeding to step S614, the "number of times of use" of the line containing the user ID in the user summary file is incremented.

User I having the same user ID as the reference log
If D does not exist in the user summary file (Yes in step S613), the process proceeds to step S615, a line including the user ID is added to the user summary file, and in step S616, the "use count" of the line is added. Is set to "1".

FIG. 16C shows an example of the data structure of the user summary file, in which the employee code, name, department and number of uses are registered. The employee code is the same as the user ID of the reference request log, and the name and department are obtained by referring to the user storage unit 111 (FIG. 9) with this employee code. The number of times of use is determined in steps S614 and S616 described above.
Updated by

The process returns to step S602, and the next line of the reference request log is read. If the reference time of the reference log has passed the specified period range (Yes in step S603).
s), the process proceeds to step S617, the designated period range stored in the RAM 22 is collated with the user information in the user information storage unit 111, and the user who can refer to the form within the designated period range is used. The personal information is written in the analysis work file A on the hard disk 28. FIG. 16D shows an example of the data structure of the work file A.

Next, in step S618, the work file A is collated with the user summary file generated in steps S612 to S616, and the user is registered during the designated period but does not refer to the electronic form. Therefore, whether the reference request is not recorded in the reference log (when the user is in the work file A but not in the user summary), or the user is registered during the specified period and refers to the electronic form. It is possible to determine whether or not (when the user is in the work file A and the user summary). As a result, the use / use of the user during the designated period
Unused is determined.

Next, the processing advances to step S619, where R
The specified period range stored in the AM 22 is compared with the form information in the form information storage unit 110, and the form information registered within the specified period range and which can be referred to is stored on the hard disk 2.
8 is written in the analysis work file B. FIG.
An example of the data structure of the work file B is shown in (e).

Next, in step S620, this work file B is collated with the form summary file generated in steps S607 to S611, and the form was registered during the specified period, but no one refers to the form. Therefore, is the reference request not recorded in the reference log (when the form is in work file B but not in the form summary), is the form registered during the specified period, and is the form referenced? (When the form is in the work file B and the form summary) can be determined. As a result, it is determined whether or not the form is used.

Finally, in step S620, the analysis report is displayed. 11 to 15 are examples of analysis report display screens according to the embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a form-specific reference frequency list created based on a form summary file and a work file B, which are displayed in descending order of reference frequency. . If you press the "reverse order display" button, you can check the forms that are displayed in ascending order and are not referenced. Note that, as shown in FIG. 12, an unreferenced form list screen may be separately prepared, and a form that has not been referenced even once is displayed on the screen, and the total number of days when the form is not referenced (at the end The number of days that have passed since being referenced is displayed.

FIG. 13 is a user-specific reference frequency list created based on the user summary file and the work file A, and is displayed in descending order of reference frequency. If you click the "reverse order display" button, it will be displayed in ascending order of reference count, and you can check people who are not using it. Figure 1
As shown in FIG. 4, an unused user list screen may be prepared separately, and users who have never referred to the electronic form are displayed.

FIG. 15 is a non-attendance form reference warning list, which is displayed as confirmation is required when another person masquerades or when the person refers to the form on a day when he / she is on vacation or on vacation. On these screens, the list can be printed by pressing the "print" button.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, by collating the reference request log with the form information and the user information to make a summary, it is possible to easily determine the form being used, the user using it, and the frequency. Not only can it be grasped, but also the forms that are not used and the users that are not used can be grasped accurately. This makes it possible to save resources by canceling registration of unnecessary forms and deleting unnecessary users. Further, by checking the attendance information and the reference request log, it is possible to detect the illegal reference of the form, so that it is possible to perform efficient confidentiality management and labor management.
