Benefits of technology

This approach simplifies system configuration, reduces operator burden, maintains system integrity, and enhances maintenance-ability by allowing data management without heavy system changes, even when dealing with diverse data items, thus reducing development and customization costs.

Problems solved by technology

However, a record format which defines a data item need to be changed whenever change in product class or a data item arises, if the product data of all classes is managed using one record format, and a problem with complication of work for changing such change is expected.
Even if it is the data item used only for a specific product, a region must be secured as a data item of all other products, and there is a problem that a memory region cannot be used effectively as a whole.
Such additional work on the managing table requires great amount of attention as well as work, so that the work become unexpectedly complicated.
In the conventional technology (2), there exist a problem that the maintenance-ability of the business application program decreases during addition / alteration work of product class because a huge amount of alteration work is required based on the differences in product class in the business application program which handle the transaction data.
The maintenance-ability of the business application program decreases because those works on the business application program are still required.
As a consequence, unification of the transaction data becomes difficult and there is a problem that a system configuration is complicated.

first embodiment

1. The First Embodiment

[0304]In this embodiment, a data management apparatus managing transaction data for administration of contracts of life insurance and product definition data on life insurance products will be described.

1-1. Functional Block Diagram

[0305]FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a data management apparatus according to the present invention. In this drawing, the data management apparatus 1 comprises input means 11, a data storage part 13, data processing means 15, a data definition part 17 and display means 19. The data storage part 13 stores transaction data. The data definition part 17 records data contents IDs and data contents for each class ID representing a product class. For example, in the case of insurance products, a contractual coverage ID and contractual coverage are recorded for each clause ID representing a class of insurance products. The data processing means 15 acquires a data contents ID (a contractual coverage ID) and data content (contractual...

second embodiment

2. Second Embodiment

[0339]Although, the business program 2091 comprises the main processing part 711 and the processing program requesting / execution part 713, and the product definition program 2094 includes the processing program generation part 731, the processing code storage part 733 and the combination data storage part 735 in the first embodiment as shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, an example in which processing according to the request of the processing program requesting / execution part 713 is configured using a wrapper program independent from the business program will be described herein. The wrapper program is a program intensively implementing a predetermined processing in response to a request from the outside.

[0340]FIG. 9 shows a functional diagram of the business program 2091, the wrapper program 2092 and the product definition program 2094. The business program 2091 comprises a main processing part 911 for implementing processing on user interface such as image pr...

third embodiment

3. Third Embodiment

[0370]In the first embodiment, an example in which after acquiring a contractual coverage ID (data contents ID) corresponding to the one contractual coverage (data contents) inputted into the screen-image data, such contractual coverage ID is stored into the transaction database is described. In this embodiment, however, a case in which a contractual coverage ID corresponding to the two or more contractual coverage (data contents) are acquired, and after implementing processing which confirms whether the combination of these contractual coverage IDs is appropriate or not, the two or more contractual coverage ID are stored in the transaction will be described.

3-1. Functional Block Diagram

[0371]The functional block diagram of the data management apparatus 1 is the same as that used in the first embodiment.

3-2. Hardware Structure

[0372]A hardware structure of a computer device with a CPU which realizes the data management apparatus 1 according to the present invention...

Abstract

The present invention provides a data management apparatus (i-Win (trademark)) which carries out centralized management of data containing data on each product during the management of product data having different data items to be handled and which has increased maintenance-ability in system and program(s).A data storage part 13 stores transaction data (contract data) including class ID (logic key) and data contents ID (variable). A data definition part 17 records data contents IDs and data contents (clause data) for each clause ID. A data processing means 15 acquires combination data of a data contents ID and data content from the data definition part 17 (definition body) in accordance with a class ID recorded in the data storage part 13 and performs processing which relates to data contents of a predetermined data item (contract condition). In this way, centralized management of plurality of product data having different product features from its clause and prospectus and the like can be carried out.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]All the content disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-299055 (filed on Oct. 13, 2004), including specification, claims, drawings and abstract and summary is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a data management apparatus managing a plurality of data in which data items to be managed are respectively different and a method thereof.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Generally, diversification of data class to deal with may produce a difference in data items to be managed for every data class in data management. For example, if the class of product is diversified when managing product data, since the data items of the product managed in connection with this will be diversified, it is necessary to manage various data items for every goods kind.[0004]When dealing with a plurality of the product data having a wide variety of product features with difference in the data item to be m...
