[0017] In the disclosure summary, the organization may be an entity with legal personality or an entity without legal personality. The members may be persons who have an employment relationship with the organization or persons who have a contractual relationship with the organization. Although not particularly limited, the following provides an example in which the organization is a legal entity and the members are employees or officers (hereinafter referred to as employees, etc.).

[0018] [Embodiment] (Display System) A display system according to an embodiment will be described below. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing a display system 100 according to an embodiment.

[0019] 1, the display system 100 includes one or more terminals 10 and a display device 30. The terminals 10 and the display device 30 are connected by a network 200. Although not particularly limited, the network 200 may include the Internet or an intranet. The network 200 may include a local area network, a mobile communication network, or a VPN (Virtual Private Network).

[0020] The terminal 10 is a terminal used by a user who views information about employees, etc. The terminal 10 may be a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or other terminal. The user may be an employee, etc. The information about employees, etc. may include the distribution of employees, etc. in a mapping space defined by two or more category axes represented by member information. The display mode of the terminal 10 will be described later (see FIG. 4).

[0021] The display device 30 executes display control to display information about employees, etc. The display device 30 may be installed on-premise on an intranet owned by a corporation, or may be installed off-premise (in cloud format) via the Internet. As described above, the information about employees, etc. may include the distribution of employees, etc. in a mapping space defined by two or more category axes represented by member information. Details of the display device 30 will be described later (see FIG. 2).

[0022] (display device) The display device according to the embodiment will be described below. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing a display device 30 according to the embodiment.

[0023] As shown in FIG. 2, the display device 30 includes a communication unit 31, a management unit 32, and a control unit 33.

[0024] The communication unit 31 is configured by a communication module. The communication module may be a wireless communication module conforming to a standard such as IEEE802.11a / b / g / n / ac / ax, LTE, 5G, or 6G, or may be a wired communication module conforming to a standard such as IEEE802.3.

[0025] The communication unit 31 executes communication with the terminal 10. For example, the communication unit 31 transmits to the terminal 10 display data for displaying information on employees or the like.

[0026] The management unit 32 is configured with a storage medium such as an SSD (Solid State Drive) or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and stores various information.

[0027] In the embodiment, the management unit 32 constitutes a management unit that manages member information related to employees belonging to a corporation. For example, as shown in Fig. 3, the member information includes an image, a name, a department, a position, a ratio, a date of joining, an evaluation, a grade, a salary amount, a date of joining, a recruitment route, and the like.

[0028] Here, in the embodiment, a specific employee etc. having two or more roles is assumed. The role may be defined by at least one of the department to which the employee etc. belongs and the position held by the employee etc. In other words, it is assumed that an employee etc. will hold two or more jobs or roles at the same time. For example, it may be assumed that an employee etc. will hold two or more positions at the same time, or that an employee etc. will hold two or more departments at the same time.

[0029] Furthermore, employees, etc. may include employees, etc. who work for a set number of working hours determined by the corporation (for example, a set number of working hours per week is 37.5 hours (7.5 hours x 5 days), etc.). Such employees, etc. may be referred to as full-time employees, etc. for convenience. Employees, etc. may include employees, etc. who work for a part of a set number of working hours determined by the corporation (for example, a set number of working hours per week is 15 hours (7.5 hours x 2 days), etc.). Alternatively, employees, etc. may include employees, etc. who work for a part of a set amount of work determined by the corporation. The employment form of such employees, etc. may be a form of employment such as secondment, dispatch, or business outsourcing. Such employees, etc. may be referred to as part-time employees, etc. for convenience.

[0030] Here, the ratio of working hours of part-time employees to predetermined working hours or the ratio of the workload of part-time employees to predetermined workload may be referred to as a specific ratio for convenience. The number of part-time employees may be counted reflecting the specific ratio. For example, if the specific ratio of part-time employees is 0.2, the number of part-time employees may be counted as 0.2 people. On the other hand, the salary amount and labor costs of part-time employees may be counted without reflecting the specific ratio. For example, even if the specific ratio of part-time employees is 0.2, the salary amount and labor costs of part-time employees may be counted as they are.

[0031] The image is an image of the employee, etc. The image of the employee, etc. may be an actual image of the employee, etc. (for example, a face image or a bust-up image) or an avatar image of the employee, etc. The image may be a photograph or image arbitrarily selected by the employee, etc.

[0032] The name may be the full name of the employee, etc., or may be a nickname of the employee, etc. The name may include both the full name and the nickname.

[0033] A department is a department to which an employee, etc. belongs. A department may be hierarchical information such as a headquarters, a division, a section, a group, etc. For example, under the A headquarters, there may be an A1 division, an A2 division, an A3 division, etc., and under the A1 division, there may be an A11 division, an A12 division, etc. Similarly, under the B headquarters, there may be an B1 division, an B2 division, an B3 division, etc., and under the B1 division, there may be an B11 division, an B12 division, etc. If it is expected that an employee, etc. will hold multiple positions, two or more departments may be managed for the employee, etc., such as a department #1, a department #2, etc. If it is expected that an employee, etc. will hold multiple positions, only a department #1 may be managed.

[0034] A position is a position that an employee, etc. assumes. Positions may include division chief, department manager, section manager, group leader, etc. When it is expected that an employee, etc. will hold multiple positions, two or more positions may be managed for the employee, etc., such as position #1, position #2, ..., etc. When it is expected that an employee, etc. will hold multiple positions, only position #1 may be managed.

[0035] The percentage is the percentage that an employee, etc. works in the relevant department or position. If it is expected that an employee, etc. will hold multiple roles, two or more percentages may be managed for the employee, etc., such as percentage #1 that the employee, etc. works in department #1 or position #1, percentage #2 that the employee, etc. works in department #2 or position #2, etc. If it is expected that an employee, etc. will hold multiple roles, only percentage #1 (e.g., 100%) may be managed. Percentage #1, percentage #2, etc. are examples of the percentage that a specific employee, etc. will work in each of two or more roles.

[0036] Here, if an employee is a full-time employee, the total of percentage #1, percentage #2, ... may be managed so that the sum of percentage #1, percentage #2, ... does not reach 100%. If an employee is a part-time employee, the total of percentage #1, percentage #2, ... may be managed so that the sum of percentage #1, percentage #2, ... does not reach 100%. For example, if the regular working hours per week are 37.5 hours (7.5 hours x 5 days), and the working hours per week of a part-time employee are 15 hours (7.5 hours x 2 days), the total percentage of the part-time employee may be expressed as 40% (15 / 37.5).

[0037] The affiliation date is the date on which an employee, etc., joined the relevant department. If it is expected that an employee, etc., will hold multiple positions, two or more affiliation dates may be managed for the employee, etc., such as affiliation date #1 when the employee, etc., started to belong to department #1, affiliation date #2 when the employee, etc., started to belong to department #2, etc., etc. If it is expected that an employee, etc., will hold multiple positions, only affiliation date #1 may be managed. The affiliation date may be used to specify the number of years that the employee has belonged to the relevant department, etc. The number of years of affiliation may be interpreted as the number of years of employment or the number of years of residence. The number of years of affiliation (number of years of employment or number of years of residence) may be managed together with the affiliation date.

[0038] The evaluation is an evaluation of an employee, etc. Although not limited to this, the evaluation may be an evaluation of the performance or achievements of the employee, etc., the ability of the employee, etc., or the sentiment of the employee, etc. The evaluation may include a self-evaluation or a peer-evaluation.

[0039] The grade may be a grade classified according to the abilities required of employees, etc. Although not particularly limited, the grade may be a grade related to a job function, a job, or a role.

[0040] The salary amount is the amount of salary paid to an employee, etc. The salary amount may include social insurance premiums paid by the corporation. In addition, personnel expenses including statutory welfare expenses and employee benefit expenses may be managed in addition to the salary amount. The salary amount and personnel expenses are examples of resource information related to employees, etc.

[0041] The joining date is the date on which an employee joined a corporation. The joining date may be used to specify the length of service, etc. The length of service may be managed together with the joining date.

[0042] The recruitment route is a route by which an employee or the like is recruited. The recruitment route may include a type such as new graduate recruitment, mid-career recruitment, etc. The recruitment route may include a type such as a medium, service, or job site used in recruiting an employee or the like.

[0043] Although omitted in FIG. 3, the management unit 32 may manage the appointment date. The appointment date is the date on which the employee, etc., was appointed to the relevant position. If it is expected that the employee, etc., will hold multiple positions, two or more appointment dates may be managed for the employee, etc., such as appointment date #1 when the employee, etc., was appointed to position #1, appointment date #2 when the employee, etc., was appointed to position #2, etc. If it is expected that the employee, etc., will hold multiple positions, only appointment date #1 may be managed. The appointment date may be used to determine the number of years in office, etc. The number of years in office may be managed together with the appointment date.

[0044] The control unit 33 may include at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured by a central processing unit (CPU), a micro processing unit (MPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), one or more integrated circuits, one or more discrete circuits, or a combination thereof.

[0045] In the embodiment, the control unit 33 constitutes a control unit that executes display control to display the distribution of employees, etc. in a mapping space defined by two or more category axes represented by member information. The control unit 33 displays specific employees, etc. having two or more roles in the mapping space in a manner that makes it possible to distinguish whether or not the specific employees, etc. have two or more roles. The display control may include transmission of display data to the terminal 10. Details of the display control (i.e., the display manner of the terminal 10) will be described later (see FIG. 4).

[0046] (Display mode) The display mode according to the embodiment will be described below. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing the display mode of the terminal 10 according to the embodiment. The display device 30 (control unit 33) described above executes display control to display the display mode shown in Fig. 4.

[0047] First, the display mode includes a mapping space defined by two or more category axes represented by member information, as shown in Fig. 4. In Fig. 4, department is exemplified as the vertical axis, and rank is exemplified as the horizontal axis.

[0048] Secondly, the display manner includes a distribution of employees, etc. in a mapping space as shown in Fig. 4. The employees, etc. in the mapping space may be represented by icons 40 of the employees, etc. (e.g., aa#1). The icons 40 may include a first icon showing an image of the employee, etc. and a second icon showing a character string showing the name of the employee, etc. In such a case, the size of the second icon may be larger than the size of the first icon.

[0049] For example, as shown in the enlarged view of the icon 40 in FIG. 4, the area S2 of the second icon may be larger than the area S1 of the first icon. The area S1 may be defined by the area of ​​a figure (such as a circle or an ellipse) arranged so as to surround the image of the employee, etc. The area S1 may also be the area of ​​an area in which an image, etc. used for the trimmed image of the employee, etc. is arranged. The area S2 may be defined by a figure (such as a rectangle) arranged so as to surround a character string indicating the name of the employee, etc. The area S2 may also be the area of ​​an area in which the name of the employee, etc. is input. Alternatively, the width of the second icon may simply be larger than the width of the first icon.

[0050] Here, the second icon (a character string indicating the name of the employee, etc.) may be arranged along a direction parallel to the horizontal axis, and the first icon (an image of the employee, etc.) may be arranged to the left of the first character of the employee, etc.'s name (on the vertical axis side).

[0051] Thirdly, a specific employee (e.g., bb#1) may be displayed in a manner that allows distinction as to whether or not he / she has two or more roles. The distinguishable manner may be a character string such as "concurrent position". For example, when employee bb#1 holds a concurrent position in department PPPP QQ#1 and Group #3 of department PPPP QQ#1, icon 40X of employee bb#1 may be displayed in the column for department PPPP QQ#1, and icon 40Y of employee bb#1 may be displayed in the column for Group #3 of department PPPP QQ#1. In such a case, icon 40X and icon 40Y may include a character string such as "concurrent position".

[0052] Although not particularly limited, when the main role of employee bb#1 is department PPPP QQ#1 and the secondary role of employee bb#1 is Group #3 of department PPPP QQ#1, icon 40X may include a character string such as "primary role" and icon 40Y may include a character string such as "concurrent role." Note that a main role is a role in which an employee has a relatively large proportion of work, and a secondary role is a role in which an employee has a relatively small proportion of work.

[0053] Although not particularly limited, it is conceivable that icon 40Y will not be displayed if Group #3 of department PPPP QQ#1 is not a display target. Even in such a case, icon 40X may include a character string such as "concurrent position" (or "principal position").

[0054] In addition, for part-time employees, the word "concurrently held" included in the display mode may be read as "seconded," "dispatched," "contracted work," etc., depending on the employment status. In such a case, the display control of part-time employees may be expressed as shown below. The display device 30 may display employees, etc., who are engaged in work for only a part of the predetermined working hours or predetermined workload set by the corporation, in the mapping space in a manner that makes it possible to distinguish whether the working hours are less than the predetermined working hours or whether the workload is less than the predetermined workload. Here, part-time employees, etc. may be referred to as specific employees, etc. In order to distinguish between employees, etc. having two or more roles and part-time employees, etc., employees, etc. having two or more roles may be referred to as first specific employees, etc., and part-time employees, etc. may be referred to as second specific employees, etc.

[0055] Fourthly, the display mode may include the result of tabulating resource information related to employees, etc. (total in FIG. 4). The result of tabulating resource information may include the total number of people (total number in FIG. 4), or may include the total amount of salary and labor costs (total labor costs in FIG. 4). The result of tabulating is tabulated for each classification item (e.g., department PPPP, department PPPP QQ#1, Group#1 to Group#3 of department PPPP QQ#1, etc.). The classification item constitutes a tabulation item axis (department in FIG. 4), which is at least one of two or more item axes. The result of tabulating may include the average value of salary and labor costs (average labor costs), the maximum value of salary and labor costs (maximum labor costs), the minimum value of salary and labor costs (minimum labor costs), etc. The result of tabulating may include two or more labor costs selected from the total labor costs, the average labor costs, the maximum labor costs, and the minimum labor costs.

[0056] For example, a method of tabulating resource information related to employees, etc. belonging to department PPPP will be described with reference to Fig. 4. In such a case, employees, etc. (employee, etc. aa#1 and employee, etc. aa#2) belonging to department PPPP are extracted based on member information managed by the management unit 32, and the number of people and labor costs are tabulated for the extracted employees, etc. aa#1 and employees, etc. aa#2. In other words, the number of people and labor costs are tabulated for the employees, etc. (employee, etc. aa#1 and employee, etc. aa#2) whose images are displayed in the row of department PPPP in the mapping space.

[0057] 4 illustrates an example in which the aggregation item axis is the vertical axis, but the aggregation item axis may be the horizontal axis. For example, the display mode may include the aggregation result of the resource information for each classification item on the horizontal axis (for example, grade in FIG. 4). Note that the aggregation item axis may be the vertical axis and the horizontal axis.

[0058] Fifth, in the calculation of the counting result, the resource information on the specific employee etc. may be corrected by the ratio managed by the management unit 32. For example, assume a case where the ratio of the employee etc. bb#1 working in the department PPPP QQ#1 is 70%, and the ratio of the employee etc. bb#1 working in the Group #3 of the department PPPP QQ#1 is 30%. In such a case, for the total of the department PPPP QQ#1, the number of employees etc. bb#1 and the labor cost may be corrected by 70%. For example, the total number of the department PPPP QQ#1 may be counted as 0.7 people. For the total of the Group #3 of the department PPPP QQ#1, the number of employees etc. bb#1 and the labor cost may be corrected by 30%. For example, the total number of the Group #3 of the department PPPP QQ#1 may be counted as 3.3 people.

[0059] For example, in Fig. 4, a method of tallying up resource information related to employees belonging to department PPPP QQ#1 will be described. In such a case, employees belonging to department PPPP QQ#1 (employees bb#1) are extracted based on member information managed by the management unit 32, and if the extracted employees include a specific employee (employee bb#1), the number of employees and labor costs for employee bb#1 are corrected by a ratio and then tallied. In other words, if the employees whose images are displayed in the row of department PPPP QQ#1 in the mapping space include a specific employee (employee bb#1), the number of employees and labor costs for employee bb#1 are corrected by a ratio and then tallied.

[0060] As described above, the display device 30 may be considered to execute the following control as the display control.

[0061] The display device 30 displays the specific employees etc. who have two or more roles in the mapping space in a manner that makes it possible to distinguish whether or not the specific employees etc. have two or more roles.

[0062] The display device 30 may display the results of the resource information related to employees, etc., for one or more classification items constituting a tabulation item axis, which is at least one of two or more item axes. In such a case, the display device 30 may correct the resource information related to a specific employee, etc., based on the proportion managed by the management unit 32.

[0063] The icons 40 of the employees, etc. may include a first icon showing an image of the employee, etc. and a second icon showing a character string showing the name of the employee, etc. In such a case, the size of the second icon may be larger than the size of the first icon. For example, the area S2 of the second icon may be larger than the area S1 of the first icon, and the width of the second icon may be larger than the width of the first icon.

[0064] (Action and Effects) In the embodiment, the display device 30 displays specific employees, etc. who have two or more roles in the mapping space in a manner that makes it possible to distinguish whether or not the specific employees, etc. have two or more roles. With this configuration, specific employees, etc. who have two or more roles can be appropriately visualized. For example, because specific employees, etc. are visualized in the mapping space, analysis and simulation of employees, etc. can be easily performed in the mapping space.

[0065] For example, by visualizing specific employees in a mapping space, the following effects can be obtained. First, it is possible to intuitively simulate transfers of employees and changes to organizational structure. Second, it is possible to customize the item axis based on the member information of employees, etc., allowing department heads and other responsible persons and human resources personnel to visually grasp the distribution of employees under their control from any perspective depending on the purpose. Third, it is possible to perform simulations that take into account the impact of transfers between departments and changes in job titles, including specific employees (those holding multiple positions), making it possible to consider optimal personnel allocation.

[0066] In an embodiment, the display device 30 may display the results of tallying resource information on employees, etc., for each classification item. With this configuration, it is possible to easily perform analysis and simulation of employees, etc., while taking into account the total number or labor costs, etc.

[0067] In an embodiment, the second icon showing a character string indicating the name of the employee, etc. may be larger than the first icon showing the image of the employee, etc. According to such a configuration, since the second icon (character string indicating the name of the employee, etc.) is relatively large, it is easy to identify individual employees, etc., and it is possible to prevent operational errors such as misidentifying people. Furthermore, since the first icon (image of the employee, etc.) is relatively small, it is possible to reduce the area that the icon 40 occupies in the mapping space, and it is possible to increase the number of employees, etc. that can be displayed in the mapping space.

[0068] [Change Example 1] Modification 1 of the embodiment will be described below. Differences from the embodiment will be mainly described below.

[0069] A variation of the above-mentioned display control will be described in Modification Example 1. In Modification Example 1, a simulation of transfer and placement of employees in a mapping space will be illustrated.

[0070] In the first modification, the display device 30 may display the icons 40 of employees, etc., in a movable manner in the mapping space. The movable manner may be interpreted as a manner in which drag and drop is possible. For example, drag and drop may be an operation in which the icon 40 is clicked, then the icon 40 is moved by a drag operation, and the icon 40 is dropped at an arbitrary position.

[0071] First, as shown in FIG. 5, the display device 30 may display an icon 40 of an employee, etc. (e.g., gg#3) in a manner that allows the employee to be moved to another department (e.g., from Group#1 in department PPPP QQ#2 to Group#3 in department PPPP QQ#1).

[0072] In such a case, when one or more classification items constituting the tally item axis include a first classification item and a second classification item, and an icon 40 of an employee or the like is moved from the first classification item to the second classification item, the display device 30 updates the tally results (total number and total labor cost) of the resource information corresponding to the first classification item, and also updates the tally results (total number and total labor cost) of the resource information corresponding to the second classification item.

[0073] For example, as shown in Fig. 5, consider a case where an icon 40 of an employee (e.g., gg#3) is moved from Group#1 (first classification item) in department PPPP QQ#2 to Group#3 (second classification item) in department PPPP QQ#1. In such a case, with the movement of the icon 40 of the employee gg#3, the total number of people in Group#1 in department PPPP QQ#2 may be updated from 3 to 2, and the total number of people in Group#3 in department PPPP QQ#1 may be updated from 4 to 5. Similarly, the personnel cost of gg#3 may be subtracted from the total personnel cost of Group#1 in department PPPP QQ#2, and the personnel cost of gg#3 may be added to the total personnel cost of Group#3 in department PPPP QQ#1.

[0074] Furthermore, with the movement of the icon 40 of the employee or the like (e.g., gg#3), the display device 30 may update the member information managed by the management unit 32. For example, as shown in Fig. 5, when the icon 40 of the employee or the like (e.g., gg#3) is moved from Group#1 in department PPPP QQ#2 to Group#3 in department PPPP QQ#1, the department of the employee or the like (e.g., gg#3) may be updated from Group#1 in department PPPP QQ#2 to Group#3 in department PPPP QQ#1.

[0075] Secondly, the display device 30 may display the icon 40 of the employee (e.g., hh#3) in a manner that allows it to be moved to an unassigned area, as shown in Fig. 5. The unassigned area is a part of the display manner. The unassigned area may be considered as an area where the icon 40 of the employee is temporarily evacuated.

[0076] In such a case, the count results (total number and total labor cost) may be updated with the movement of the icon 40 of the employee, etc. (e.g., hh#3). For example, the total number of Group#2 in department PPPP QQ#2 may be updated from 3 to 2.

[0077] Although not particularly limited, when an instruction to end the simulation of the placement of employees, etc. is given while icons 40 of employees, etc. remain in an unplaced area, the display device 30 may output a warning that the placement of employees, etc. is not complete. The warning may include a sound warning or an image warning.

[0078] According to the first modification, the display device 30 may display the icons 40 of employees, etc. in a movable manner in the mapping space. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily perform a simulation of the placement of employees, etc. in the mapping space.

[0079] [Change Example 2] Modification 2 of the embodiment will be described below. Differences from the embodiment will be mainly described below.

[0080] In Modification Example 2, a variation of the above-mentioned display control will be described. In Modification Example 2, at least one of the two or more category axes may include a hierarchical category axis having a higher-level classification item and a lower-level classification item that is lower than the higher-level classification item. When a deletion operation of a higher-level classification item is performed, the display device 30 may output a warning to the effect that a lower-level classification item will be deleted.

[0081] In the second modification, the display device 30 can accept operations such as deleting a department, adding a new department, and changing the hierarchical structure (parent-child relationship) of the departments.

[0082] For example, as shown in FIG. 6, a case will be illustrated in which the department category axis includes a first-level classification item (department PPPP) and a second-level classification item (department PPPP QQ#1 and department PPPP QQ#2). In such a case, when a deletion operation for department PPPP is performed, the display device 30 may output a warning that department PPPP QQ#1 and department PPPP QQ#2 will be deleted. The warning may include a sound warning or an image warning. Note that there may be a third level, a fourth level, etc. below the second level.

[0083] According to a second modification, when a deletion operation of a classification item in the first layer is performed, the display device 30 may output a warning that a classification item in the second layer will be deleted. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent unintended deletion of classification items in the first layer.

[0084] [Change Example 3] The third modification of the embodiment will be described below. Differences from the embodiment will be mainly described below.

[0085] In Modification Example 3, a variation of the above-mentioned display control will be described. In Modification Example 3, the two or more item axes may include a department item axis configured by classification items indicating departments of a corporation. The display device 30 may display the person in charge of the department of the corporation for each classification item.

[0086] For example, as shown in Fig. 7, a case will be illustrated in which the vertical axis is an axis of departments. In such a case, the display device 30 may display a person in charge for each classification item, such as department PPPP, department PPPP QQ#1, Groups #1 to #3 in department PPPP QQ#1, department PPPP QQ#2, and Groups #1 to #2 in department PPPP QQ#2.

[0087] Although not particularly limited, the hierarchy of the classification items for displaying the responsible person may be arbitrarily selected. For example, the options for displaying the responsible person may include option 1 for displaying only the responsible person of department PPPP, option 2 for displaying the responsible persons of department PPPP QQ#1 and department PPPP QQ#2, and option 3 for displaying the responsible persons of Groups #1 to #3 of department PPPP QQ#1 and Groups #1 to #2 of department PPPP QQ#2. Two or more options selected from option 1 to option 3 may be selected.

[0088] According to the third modification, the person in charge of each department is displayed, so that the person in charge can be referred to when simulating the placement of employees in the mapping space.

[0089] [Change Example 4] Modification 4 of the embodiment will be described below. Differences from the embodiment will be mainly described below.

[0090] In the fourth modification, variations of two or more category axes will be described.
