  When the server device 20 finishes storing the information in the matter database DB, the server device 20 generates an e-mail notifying the change of the access right to the file specified by the acquired file path (step SA2). Specifically, the server device 20 generates an e-mail having the contents shown in FIG. 9, for example. As shown in FIG. 9, in the e-mail generated by the server device 20 here, the generated matter ID, the acquired file path, the fact that the access right to the file used for the application is changed, etc. are described. . The e-mail generated in step SA2 is an example of a first notification instructing restriction on access to the file specified by the file path. Next, the server device 20 transmits the generated e-mail to the e-mail address stored in the case database DB in step SA1 (step SA3). In other words, the server device 20 transmits the first notification using a protocol used for electronic mail communication. Further, in the present embodiment, it can be said that transmission of an electronic mail (first notification) is performed in response to acquisition of information (image file). When the processing in FIG. 8 is performed when the acquired information (image file) is stored in the storage unit 202, an e-mail (first notification) is generated when the information (image file) is stored. ) Is transmitted.

  The terminal device 10 receives the electronic mail transmitted from the server device 20 in step SA3. FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of processing performed by the terminal device 10 that has received the electronic mail transmitted from the server device 20. In the present embodiment, the process shown in FIG. 10 is executed in response to reception of an e-mail by starting an application program stored in the storage unit 102 in advance.

  First, the terminal device 10 analyzes the content of the received electronic mail (step SB1). Next, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed electronic mail is content to be responded to the server device 20 (step SB2). Here, the terminal device 10 determines that the content to be responded to the server device 20 when the analyzed e-mail indicates that the access right to the file is changed as shown in FIG. 9 ( YES at step SB2).

  Next, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed e-mail is content for changing the access right to the file specified by the file path described in the text (step SB3). Here, if the received electronic mail indicates that the access right to the file is changed as shown in FIG. 9, the terminal device 10 determines YES in step SB3.

  If the terminal device 10 determines YES in step SB3, it changes the access right to the file specified by the file path described in the received e-mail (step SB4). Here, for example, the terminal device 10 changes the access right so that the user cannot display, change, and delete the file specified by the file path, and restricts access to the file. When the change of the access right is completed, the terminal device 10 generates an e-mail including the case ID described in the received e-mail and notifying that the access right has been changed (step SB5). An electronic mail is transmitted to the server apparatus 20 (step SB6).

  The server device 20 receives the email transmitted by the terminal device 10 in step SB6. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing performed by the server device 20 that has received an electronic mail transmitted from the terminal device 10. First, the server device 20 analyzes the content of the received electronic mail (step SC1). Next, the server device 20 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed e-mail is the content indicating that the file access right has been changed (step SC2). If the content of the analyzed e-mail is the content indicating that the access right has been changed (YES in step SC2), the server device 20 updates the confirmation status column in the case database DB (step SC3). Specifically, the server device 20 identifies a record in which the case ID stored in the received e-mail is stored in the case database DB, and displays “access right changed” in the confirmation status column of the specified record. And store information.

  The server device 20 confirms the existence of the file whose access right has been changed with respect to the terminal device 10 storing the file whose access right has been changed. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when the server device 20 confirms the existence of a file whose access right has been changed. The process shown in FIG. 12 is performed at a predetermined cycle, for example.

  First, the server device 20 refers to the case database DB and acquires the case ID of the application related to the file whose existence is to be confirmed (step SD1). Here, in the case database DB, the server device 20 stores a record in which “access right changed” is stored in the confirmation status column, “existence confirmed” is stored in the confirmation status column, and the next confirmation date and time. A record whose date and time stored in the column is a date and time before the current date and time is specified. The server device 20 acquires the case ID stored in the identified record.

  Next, the server device 20 determines whether the number of acquired case IDs is 1 or more (step SD2). If there is no item ID acquired in step SD1 (NO in step SD2), the server device 20 ends the process shown in FIG. When the number of case IDs acquired in step SD1 is 1 or more, the server device 20 generates an e-mail for confirming the existence of the file (step SD3). Here, the server device 20 acquires a file path from the record in which the matter ID acquired in step SD1 is stored. Then, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the server device 20 generates an e-mail with the acquired matter ID and file path described therein and content for confirming the existence of the file.

  Next, the server device 20 transmits the electronic mail generated in step SD3 (step SD4). Here, the server device 20 acquires the applicant address from the record in which the case ID acquired in step SD1 is stored, and transmits an e-mail with the acquired applicant address as a destination. When the server device 20 transmits the e-mail, it updates the matter database DB (step SD5). Here, in the record in which the case ID described in the electronic mail is stored, the server device 20 stores information “existing confirmation” in the confirmation status column.

  Next, an operation example of the terminal device 10 that has received the e-mail illustrated in FIG. 13 will be described. The terminal device 10 analyzes the content of the received electronic mail (step SB1). Next, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed electronic mail is content to be responded to the server device 20 (step SB2). Here, the terminal device 10 determines that the content to be responded to the server device 20 when the received e-mail describes that the file existence confirmation is performed as shown in FIG. 13 (step SB2). YES)

  Next, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed e-mail is content for changing the access right to the file specified by the file path described in the text (step SB3). Here, the terminal device 10 determines NO in step SB3 when the analyzed e-mail describes that the existence of the file is to be confirmed as shown in FIG. If the terminal device 10 determines NO in step SB3, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed e-mail is the content for checking the existence of the file (step SB7). Here, the terminal device 10 determines YES in step SB7 if the received e-mail describes that the file existence confirmation is to be performed.

  If the terminal device 10 determines YES in step SB7, it confirms whether the file specified by the file path described in the e-mail exists in the storage unit 102 (step SB8). When the terminal device 10 finishes confirming the existence of the file, the terminal device 10 generates a case ID described in the received electronic mail and an electronic mail describing the confirmation result (step SB9), and sends the generated electronic mail to the server device 20. Transmit (step SB6).

  When the server device 20 receives the electronic mail in which the result of the file existence confirmation is described, the server device 20 analyzes the content of the received electronic mail (step SC1). Next, the server device 20 determines whether or not the content of the analyzed e-mail is the content indicating that the file access right has been changed (step SC2). If the confirmation result of the existence of the file is described in the received electronic mail, the server device 20 determines NO in step SC2.

  If the server device 20 determines NO in step SC2, the server device 20 determines whether or not the analysis result of the existence of the file is described in the analyzed electronic mail (step SC4). The server device 20 updates the case database DB (step SC5) when the analysis result of the e-mail contains the confirmation result of the file existence (YES in step SC4). Here, the server device 20 specifies a record in which the case ID described in the received e-mail is stored in the case database DB, and the confirmation status column of the specified record includes the file described in the e-mail. Stores the existence confirmation result. Further, the server device 20 stores the date and time when the existence of the file is next confirmed in the next confirmation date and time column of the specified record.

  Next, an operation example when the application for the business trip expense requested by the user is approved will be described. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing performed by the server device 20 when an application made by the user is approved. For example, a known workflow system technique is applied to the process of approving the application made by the user. The process of approving the application made by the user is an example of a predetermined process according to the present invention. In the process of approving the application made by the user, the person who approves the application views the content of the image file transmitted from the terminal device 10 and approves the application.

  When the application made by the user is approved, the server device 20 specifies a record in which the case ID corresponding to the approved application is stored in the case database, and updates the content of the specified record (step SE1). Here, the server device 20 stores information “approved” in the status column of the identified record. Next, the server device 20 acquires a case ID, an applicant address, and a file path from the updated record (step SE2).
