DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] A preferred embodiment of the disclosed technology will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, components with the same reference numerals have the same or similar configurations.

[0010] [First embodiment] <System> FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration of an information processing system 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 1 includes an information processing device (for example, a server) 10 and each information processing device. The information processing devices 20A, 20B, 20C, and 20D (hereinafter also referred to as "each information processing device 20"). ) and each information processing device 10, 20 transmits and receives data to and from each other via a network N. It is possible to trust.

[0011] Here, the resource management system in the design office realized by the information processing system 1 shown in FIG. We will explain the outline of the platform for sharing information. The information processing device 10, which is mainly used by the provider of the program, stores information on each design office, Obtain and manage busy information related to the

[0012] An information processing device 20 that is primarily used by a design office to which at least one architect belongs. The information processing function processes office-related information about design offices and busy status information. The information processing device 20 also transmits the information included in the project (e.g., architectural design) to the device 10. It is request information regarding outsourcing for at least one process among multiple processes. Then, the request information including the information about the desired employee is transmitted to the information processing device 10.

[0013] The information processing device 10 receives the request information, the office-related information and the busy information that it manages, and Based on this, we identify employees who can undertake outsourcing work, and then The selected design will be sent to the information processing device 20 used by the design company. If an agency applies and an agreement is reached between the two parties (the agency requesting the outsourcing and the agency accepting the outsourcing), the agency will Contract and payment processing is carried out.

[0014] This will enable organizations such as design firms to appropriately address resource shortages and surpluses. For example, it is possible to By sharing resources (employees) between design offices, we can reduce the number of busy periods and slow periods that may suddenly occur. It will also be possible to respond to scattered periods. In addition, when the resources of one's own organization are insufficient, it is possible to borrow from other organizations. By borrowing resources from other organizations, we can take on large projects that we would not be able to take on on our own. This makes it possible to:

[0015] The above-mentioned information processing devices 10 and 20 are, for example, personal computers, smartphones, etc. The nth information processing device is a mobile terminal such as a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a server device, etc. It is also possible to distinguish between them by writing (1≦n≦2).

[0016] <Configuration> FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the information processing device 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing device 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Explains the processing of each device using a concrete example of resource sharing in a design office. do.

[0017] The information processing device 10 includes one or more processors (CPU: Central Processing Unit). ) 110, one or more network communication interfaces 120, memory 130, The user interface 150 and one or more communication interfaces for interconnecting these components. The user interface 150 includes a display and an input device (key keyboard and / or mouse, or any other pointing device), but must Furthermore, it does not have to be provided in the information processing device 10, but may be connected as an external device.

[0018] The memory 130 may be, for example, a DRAM, an SRAM, or other random access solid-state memory device. The memory 130 is a high-speed random access memory (main memory). multiple magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or It may also be a nonvolatile memory (auxiliary storage device) such as another nonvolatile solid-state storage device. The library 130 is a non-transitory computer-readable storage device that stores programs and the like. The memory 130 may be a main storage device (memory) or an auxiliary storage device (storage). It may have either a storage or both.

[0019] The memory 130 stores data used by the information processing system 1. For example, The memory 130 stores employee information about one or more employees and office information including available services. Office-related information including the number of employees, the number of employees, and the number of employees included in the project. Request information regarding outsourcing of work for at least one of the processes, and request information including information about the employee.

[0020] Another example of memory 130 is one or more memory modules located remotely from processor 110. In one embodiment, memory 130 is configured to be accessed by processor 110. Contains programs, modules and data structures, or a subset thereof, that are executed by do.

[0021] The processor 110 executes a program stored in the memory 130 to control the control unit. 112, acquisition unit 113, extraction unit 114, inquiry unit 115, output unit 116, contract management unit 11 7. Constitutes the expense management unit 118.

[0022] The control unit 112 controls resource sharing in the design office. includes an acquisition unit 113, an extraction unit 114, an inquiry unit 115, an output unit 116, a contract management unit 117, It controls the processing of the expense management unit 118.

[0023] The acquisition unit 113 acquires the information from each processing device (for example, each information processing device 20) used by each design office. and employee information for one or more employees and office information including available services. For example, the acquisition unit 113 acquires office-related information through a network communication interface 120, and acquires office-related information transmitted from each processing device at a predetermined timing. do.

[0024] The office-related information will be described later with reference to FIG. 4. For example, the office I identifying the design office In relation to D, office information about the design firm, and employees (including architects) This includes information such as employee information and outsourcing information regarding outsourcing.

[0025] The acquisition unit 113 also acquires information about each processing device (e.g., each information processing device 2) used by each design office. 0), the acquisition unit 113 acquires busy information about the busy status. The data transmitted from each processing device at a predetermined timing via the network communication interface 120 is Get busy information.

[0026] The busyness information will be described later with reference to FIG. 5. For example, the busyness status, This includes information such as business conditions, whether or not the business can be outsourced, and the intention to request outsourcing.

[0027] The acquisition unit 113 also acquires the first processing device (for example, an information processing device) used by the first design office. 20A) for at least one of the multiple processes included in the project. The request information includes information about the desired employee. For example, the acquisition unit 113 may receive the first design via the network communication interface 120. Acquires request information sent from the first processing device when the office wants to request outsourcing do.

[0028] The request information will be described later with reference to FIG. 6. For example, the office ID of the office requesting the work is Link project information, work information, deliverable information, timing information, desired personnel information, roles This information includes information such as the amount, request type, request location, and requester information.

[0029] The extraction unit 114 extracts the request information, busy information, and office-related information acquired by the acquisition unit 113. Based on the information, the company will select a company that can accept outsourcing work and has employees corresponding to the desired employees. For example, the extraction unit 114 extracts the design office (for example, the information processing device 20B) from the request. Extract one or more second design offices that meet the request conditions included in the information. The request conditions are: For example, it is a design office that can handle business information (e.g., process), and the desired employees are It is a design office to which I belong, and based on busy information, I am currently accepting contract work. Extract accounting offices.

[0030] The inquiry unit 115 is configured to receive the second processing information used by the second design office extracted by the extraction unit 114. Generates inquiry information regarding the acceptance or application of the business outsourcing included in the request information for the device. For example, the inquiry unit 115 may receive information such as an outline of the business contract, the business content, the remuneration content, The order inquiry information is generated including the employee name that matches the desired employee.

[0031] The output unit 116 outputs the information to the query unit 115 via the network communication interface 120. The created order inquiry information is output to the second processing device.

[0032] Through the above process, we will be able to establish a relationship with the design firm that will be entrusted with at least part of the project. , and match with a design firm that can handle the content of this outsourcing and has the desired employees. As a result, the disclosed system 1 can be used in organizations such as design offices. This will enable appropriate responses to resource shortages and surpluses. By sharing resources among staff, we can respond to sudden peak and off-peak periods. This becomes possible.

[0033] In addition, design offices that have been entrusted with outsourcing and share their employees with other offices may, during the contract period, In this case, the second design office that has been entrusted with the work may suddenly become busy. In other words, the second processing facility used by the second design office The device transmits a resource request to the information processing device 10. The resource request includes, for example, request information and This may be a request in the same format, or a request for the return of a sharing employee. may be.

[0034] The acquisition unit 113 of the information processing device 10 receives the following via the network communication interface 120: From the second processing device, resource requests for employee replenishment may be obtained. There are two main types of resource requests. One is a new request for outsourcing by the second design office. The other was a request for the return of the employees shared with the first design office. do.

[0035] (resource request corresponding to return request) The extraction unit 114 extracts the requested resource from the first design office in response to the resource request corresponding to the return request. The outsourcing included in the request information can be outsourced, and the employee corresponding to the desired employee belongs to the company. For example, the extraction unit 114 extracts the third design office from the first design office again. The third design office may be extracted based on the request information. The extraction process results (extraction list) are stored for a predetermined period of time, and the request time for the resource is updated. If it is within a predetermined period from the time of extraction, the extracted list at that time may be used. Then, the extraction unit 114 extracts design offices other than the second design office from the previously extracted extraction list. The retention period of the extracted list may be set to the threshold period. It may be discarded after a certain period of time.

[0036] As a result of the above process, the second design office, which shared resources, ran out of resources. Even in the case of a third design, it is possible to return shared employees and have alternative resources. By proposing the office to the first design office, the first and second design offices will be able to operate It is possible to provide a system that prevents this from happening.

[0037] Furthermore, when the extraction unit 114 extracts the third design office, the inquiry unit 115 Inquiry information regarding whether or not a design firm can newly outsource its work to a third design firm For example, this inquiry information includes information on the third design office, This includes an inquiry to the first design office about whether it is okay to switch to the office and entrust the work to them. The output unit 116 outputs the inquiry information via the network communication interface 120. Output to the first processing device.

[0038] Through the above process, the outsourcing was changed to the new third design office extracted by the system. It will be possible to inquire with the first design office that has requested the work whether it is acceptable to do so. The first design office, which made the request, is looking to hire new staff equivalent to the employees currently sharing the space. This will allow the company to continue to operate smoothly.

[0039] (resource request corresponding to request information) The extraction unit 114 extracts the resource corresponding to the request information for the outsourcing of work from the second design office. The resource request is acquired, and the business outsourcing included in this resource request can be accepted. Extract the third design firm that has employees corresponding to the desired employees included in the request. Example For example, the extraction unit 114 extracts the new request information using the busy information and the office-related information. A third design firm may be selected.

[0040] As a result of the above process, the second design office, which shared resources, ran out of resources. Even in this case, the work of the second design office will not be affected by receiving a share of other resources. It is possible to provide a system that prevents this.

[0041] Furthermore, when the extraction unit 114 extracts the third design office, the inquiry unit 115 Inquiry to the third design office regarding whether or not the work included in the request can be outsourced. The output unit 116 generates matching information via the network communication interface 120. The third processing device (e.g., information processing device 20) used by the third design office stores the contract inquiry information. C).

[0042] Through the above process, the system will select a new third design office to outsource the work to. It will be possible to inquire whether it is possible to accept the contract. The second design office that made the request , the desired employees will be shared by other design offices (e.g., third design offices). This will enable business operations to be carried out smoothly.

[0043] (Contract management) The contract management unit 117 of the information processing device 10 receives an instruction to transmit template data of the outsourcing contract. When the template data is received, the template data is retrieved from the memory 130 and transmitted to the network communication interface 12. The transmission instruction is received from the first processor or the second processor. The user may send a message or may be instructed by an administrator of the information processing device 10.

[0044] The contract management department 117 manages the business outsourcing contract agreed upon between the first design office and the second design office. Obtain data, extract the corrections from the template, and reflect the corrections back into the template as needed. It may be projected.

[0045] (Cost management) The cost management unit 118 of the information processing device 10 receives the cost information from the first design office that has requested the outsourcing of the work. Upon receiving the payment report, the contract management unit 117 The expense management unit 118 manages a predetermined amount based on the remuneration setting. Compensation for the consignment may be managed through an escrow process.

[0046] In this case, the output unit 116 outputs the assigned data to the second processing device of the second design office that has been entrusted with the outsourcing. The second design office receives the payment report and provides the service (employee The company may start providing support to the project (such as dispatching personnel).

[0047] Through the above process, the second design office will be managed by paying a third party. You can provide your services with peace of mind. Payment of remuneration is made directly to the employee who provides the service. The payment is not made directly to the design firm, but to the employee, who is then indirectly compensated. do.

[0048] The acquisition unit 113 may also acquire busy information sequentially. The information processing device 20 is periodically inquired of by the information processing device 20 about its busy status. The busy information including the answer may be acquired sequentially. The busyness information may be transmitted to the information processing device 10 at the timing when the busyness information is transmitted.

[0049] In this case, the extraction unit 114 extracts the first order that matches the request information based on the latest busy information. This may include extracting two design firms.

[0050] Because the busy status may suddenly change due to the above process, the extraction unit 114 Extraction processing can be performed using the latest busy information. Since employees may change even if the office is busy, the acquisition unit 113 acquires office-related information in the same way as busy information. It may be updated sequentially.

[0051] In addition, the inquiry unit 115 may anonymously inquire about the first design office that is the client of the outsourcing. For example, when generating the inquiry information, the inquiry unit 115 may The design firm that requested the design can be specified as a pre-defined location (e.g., an office in Tokyo) or a fictitious The inquiry unit 115 also converts the request information into the name of the requesting office (e.g., AAA office). Depending on whether the office wishes to remain anonymous, you may decide whether to include the name of the requesting office. The input unit 116 transmits the inquiry information including the anonymous requester to the network communication interface 116. Output via 120.

[0052] The above process protects the privacy of the client and helps to determine whether to accept the contract. This will allow for fairness.
