Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in conventional information processing systems, if a group becomes unused due to reasons such as the discontinuation of mailing lists associated with that group or a change in the group's administrator, the group may remain inactive with an unknown purpose. Groups with an unknown purpose make it difficult to determine who the users of the accounts belonging to the group are and what information those accounts are granted access to. This poses a security risk, potentially leading to the distribution of mailing lists or granting access to information to unintended accounts. In particular, in recent years, organizations such as companies often introduce multiple business processing systems tailored to their specific operations. As groups are created for each of these systems, group management becomes more difficult, raising concerns about a further decline in security.

[0005] Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention aims to provide an integrated management device, an information processing system, an integrated management method, and an integrated management program that can comprehensively manage groups created in each of a plurality of business processing devices. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The integrated management device according to the embodiment includes a group acquisition unit and a determination result output unit. The group acquisition unit acquires acquisition groups based on a first group to which a plurality of first accounts owned by the first business processing unit can belong, and a second group to which a plurality of second accounts owned by the second business processing unit can belong. The determination result output unit determines whether the acquisition group acquired by the group acquisition unit is included in an integrated group stored in the integrated storage unit, and outputs the determination result.

[0007] The integrated management method according to the embodiment involves a group acquisition unit acquiring an acquisition group based on a first group to which a plurality of first accounts held by the first business processing device can belong and a second group to which a plurality of second accounts held by the second business processing device can belong, and a determination result output unit determining whether the acquisition group acquired by the group acquisition unit is included in an integrated group stored in the integrated storage unit, and outputting the determination result.

[0008] The integrated management program according to the embodiment causes a computer to execute a code from the group acquisition unit and a code from the determination result output unit. The code from the group acquisition unit acquires an acquisition group based on a first group to which a plurality of first accounts owned by the first business processing unit can belong, and a second group to which a plurality of second accounts owned by the second business processing unit can belong. The code from the determination result output unit determines whether the acquisition group acquired by the group acquisition unit is included in an integrated group stored in the integrated storage unit, and outputs the determination result. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] Embodiments of the present invention can provide an integrated management device, an information processing system, an integrated management method, and an integrated management program that can comprehensively manage groups created on each of multiple business processing devices.

[Figure 11] This is a block diagram showing an example of a functional block of an information processing system according to a modified example of the embodiment 2. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0011] (Configuration of the embodiment) As shown in Figure 1, the information processing system 1 includes a terminal device 10, a business processing device 20, and an integrated management device 30. The business processing device 20 and the integrated management device 30 are, for example, servers and are connected to the terminal device 10 via a network such as a LAN, the Internet, or mobile communications.

[0012] In the example shown in Figure 1, the business processing unit 20 comprises a first business processing unit 20a and a second business processing unit 20b. Each of the first business processing unit 20a and the second business processing unit 20b is connected to the integrated management device 30 via a network.

[0013] The terminal device 10 includes terminal devices 10a, 10b, and 10c. The terminal device 10a is connected to the first business processing device 20a and the integrated management device 30, the terminal device 10b is connected to the integrated management device 30, and the terminal device 10c is connected to the second business processing device 20b.

[0014] Hereinafter, when referring to the terminal device 10, it refers to some or all of the terminal devices 10a, 10b, and 10c. When referring to the business processing device 20, it refers to one or both of the first business processing device 20a and the second business processing device 20b.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the information processing system 1. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the functional blocks of the information processing system 1.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the terminal device 10 is an information terminal such as a personal computer or a smartphone. The terminal device 10 includes a terminal control unit 11, a terminal storage unit 12, a display unit 13, and an instruction input unit 14.

[0017] The terminal control unit 11 has a processing device such as a CPU, and realizes its functions by executing programs read from the terminal storage unit 12.

[0018] The terminal storage unit 12 has storage elements such as ROM, RAM, HDD, and SSD, and stores various information for controlling the terminal device 10 and various programs constituting the processing unit.

[0019] The display unit 13 is composed of an LCD, LED, OLED, etc., and can display various information input from the terminal control unit 11.

[0020] The instruction input unit 14 has an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, and outputs various instruction inputs input by the user to the terminal control unit 11.

[0021] The business processing device 20 has a business control unit 21 and a business storage unit 22. The business processing device 20 can provide predetermined services to users, such as services related to accounting or services related to human resources and labor management, via the terminal device 10.

[0022] The business control unit 21 has a processing unit such as a CPU and realizes its function by executing a program read from the business memory unit 22.

[0023] The business memory unit 22 has memory elements such as ROM, RAM, HDD, and SSD, and stores various information for controlling the business processing unit 20, as well as various programs that constitute the processing unit. For example, the business memory unit 22 also stores information such as account a and group g, as well as programs for account generation unit B1, group generation unit B2, business connection unit B3, account transmission unit B4, and group transmission unit B5.

[0024] Account A may be one or more accounts stored in the business memory unit 22 and may have attribute information such as account name, email address, account ID, and access rights, although this is not limited to these accounts. An email address can be used as the account name.

[0025] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the structure of group g stored in the business memory unit 22 of the business processing device 20.

[0026] As shown in Figure 4, one or more groups g are stored in the business memory unit 22, and are not limited to these groups. For example, as a group account, it has attribute information such as a group name, email address, group ID, and access rights, as well as mapping information for accounts a belonging to group g. An email address can be used as the group name. Group g may enable sending mass emails to accounts a belonging to group g. Group g may also be configured to inherit access rights from accounts a belonging to group g.

[0027] The account generation unit B1 generates account a based on user instructions input via the terminal device 10 and stores it in the business memory unit 22.

[0028] The group generation unit B2 generates group g to which account a can belong based on user instructions input via the terminal device 10, and stores it in the business memory unit 22.

[0029] The business connection unit B3 is, for example, an API that provides external connection functionality. More specifically, the business connection unit B3 performs, for example, Bearer token authentication on the integrated management device 30 accessed from the outside, obtains the access token included in the header of the HTTP request received from the integrated management device 30, queries the authentication server for the validity of the access token, and upon receiving a response that it is valid, returns the requested information to the integrated management device 30. Here, as an example, an example in which the business connection unit B3 performs Bearer token authentication has been described, but it may also be configured to perform well-known methods such as Basic authentication, Digest authentication, and API key authentication.

[0030] The account transmission unit B4 transmits account a from the integrated management device 30 via the business connection unit B3. When a request to retrieve is received, account a is read from the business memory unit 22 and the read account a is sent (replied) to the integrated management device 30.

[0031] When the group transmission unit B5 receives a request from the integrated management device 30 to obtain group g via the business connection unit B3, it reads group g from the business storage unit 22 and transmits (replies to) the read group g to the integrated management device 30.

[0032] Figures 5 to 7 are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of the structure of information stored in the integrated storage unit 32 of the integrated management device 30, where Figure 5 shows integrated account A, Figure 6 shows table T, and Figure 7 shows integrated group G.

[0033] The integrated management device 30 includes an integrated control unit 31 and an integrated storage unit 32 (Figures 2 and 3).

[0034] The integrated control unit 31 has a processing unit such as a CPU and realizes its function by executing a program read from the integrated storage unit 32.

[0035] The integrated storage unit 32 has memory elements such as ROM, RAM, HDD, and SSD, and stores various information for controlling the integrated management device 30, as well as various programs that constitute the processing unit. For example, the integrated storage unit 32 also stores information such as connection information E, integrated account A, and table T, as well as programs for the integrated account acquisition unit C1, group acquisition unit C2, judgment result output unit C3, notification information output unit C4, group integration unit C5, account count output unit C6, and display screen generation unit C7.

[0036] Connection information E contains an address for connecting to each of the business processing devices 20 and authentication information used for HTTP authentication. The authentication information is not limited to these, but examples include an access token used for Bearer token authentication such as OAuth2.0, a username and password used for Basic authentication or Digest authentication, and an API key used for API key authentication.

[0037] As shown in Figure 5, the integrated account acquisition unit C1 acquires integrated account A based on the first account a1 belonging to the first group g1 owned by the first business processing device 20a and the second account a2 belonging to the second group g2 owned by the second business processing device 20b. Integrated account A is formed by integrating the first account a1 and the second account a2, and one or more of them are stored in the integrated storage unit 32. They have attribute information such as account name, email address, account ID, and access rights, although this is not limited to these.

[0038] Specifically, the integrated account acquisition unit C1 reads connection information E corresponding to the first business processing unit 20a from the integrated storage unit 32 and sends an HTTP request or HTTPS request (hereinafter, when referring to an HTTP request, it also includes an HTTPS request) to the first business processing unit 20a to acquire the first account a1. When the first business processing unit 20a receives the HTTP request via the business connection unit B3, the account transmission unit B4 reads the first account a1 from the business storage unit 22 and sends (replies to) it, and the integrated account acquisition unit C1 receives the first account a1. Similarly, the integrated account acquisition unit C1 sends an HTTP request to the second business processing unit 20b and receives the second account a2 from the second business processing unit 20b.

[0039] The integrated account acquisition unit C1 then uses the account name as the key to integrate the first account a1(x1) and the second account a2(x2) whose keys match into integrated account A(X). If the attribute information of the first account a1(x1) and the second account a2(x2) differs from each other, the integrated account acquisition unit C1 may leave the attribute information with higher priority in integrated account A(X). The priority can be specified and input in advance by the user via the terminal device 10. The integrated account acquisition unit C1 also integrates the first account a1(y1) into integrated account A(Y) and the second account a2(z2) into integrated account A(Z). The integrated account acquisition unit C1 stores the acquired integrated account A in the integrated storage unit 32.

[0040] As shown in Figure 6, table T stores the integrated group G, the source information R associated with the integrated group G, the number of accounts N, the judgment result J, and the notification information W.

[0041] As shown in Figure 7, integrated group G is formed by integrating acquisition group h1 and acquisition group h2, and one or more of them are stored in the integrated storage unit 32. These include, but are not limited to, attribute information such as the group name, email address, group ID, and access rights, as well as mapping information for integrated account A belonging to integrated group G. An email address can be used as the group name. Hereinafter, acquisition group h refers to both or either acquisition groups h1 and h2.

[0042] The group acquisition unit C2 acquires acquisition group h1 based on the first group g1 to which multiple first accounts a1 held by the first business processing unit 20a can belong, and acquires acquisition group h2 based on the second group g2 to which multiple second accounts a2 held by the second business processing unit 20b can belong. Specifically, the group acquisition unit C2 reads connection information E corresponding to the first business processing unit 20a from the integrated storage unit 32 and sends an HTTP request to the first business processing unit 20a to acquire the first group g1. When the first business processing unit 20a receives the HTTP request via the business connection unit B3, the group transmission unit B5 reads the first group g1 from the business storage unit 22 and sends (replies), and the group acquisition unit C2 acquires the received first group g1 as acquisition group h1. Similarly, the group acquisition unit C2 sends an HTTP request to the second business processing unit 20b and acquires the second group g2 received from the second business processing unit 20b as acquisition group h2.

[0043] The determination result output unit C3 reads the acquired group h acquired by the group acquisition unit C2, and using the group name as a key, determines whether or not the acquired group h is included in the integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32, and outputs the determination result J to be stored in the integrated storage unit 32. The determination result J is the result of determining whether or not the acquired group h is included in the integrated group G.

[0044] In the example shown in Figure 7, the judgment result output unit C3 determines that each of the acquisition groups h1 (h11, h12) acquired based on the first group g1 and acquisition group h2 (h21, h22) acquired based on the second group g2 are included in the integrated groups G1 and G2, and outputs a judgment result J indicating that they are included in the integrated groups G1 and G2, which is then stored in the integrated storage unit 32. Furthermore, the judgment result output unit C3 determines that the acquisition group h2 (h23) acquired based on the second group g2 is not included in the integrated group G (dotted line in Figure 7), and outputs a judgment result J indicating that it is not included in the integrated group G, which is then stored in the integrated storage unit 32.

[0045] When the determination result output unit C3 outputs a determination result J indicating that acquisition group h23 is not included in integrated group G, the notification information output unit C4 outputs notification information W associated with acquisition group h23 to notify the user that acquisition group h23 is not included in integrated group G, and stores it in the integrated storage unit 32.

[0046] The group integration unit C5 integrates the acquisition group h1 obtained based on the first group g1 and the acquisition group h2 obtained based on the second group g2 into an integrated group G and stores it in the integrated storage unit 32. If the attribute information of acquisition group h1 and acquisition group h2 differs from each other, the group integration unit C5 may retain the attribute information with higher priority and integrate them into integrated group G. The priority can be specified and input in advance by the user via the terminal device 10.

[0047] In the example shown in Figure 7, the group integration unit C5 refers to the judgment result J output by the judgment result output unit C3 and integrates acquisition groups h11 and h21, which are included in integration group G, into integration group G1, and integrates acquisition groups h12 and h22 into integration group G2. The group integration unit C5 refers to the judgment result J and adds acquisition group h23, which was determined not to be included in integration group G, to integration group G3 and integrates it.

[0048] Furthermore, the group integration unit C5 associates the integrated group G with the integrated group G and stores the source information R for the integrated group G in the integrated storage unit 32. The source information R indicates where the integrated group G was acquired from. For example, for integrated group G1, the first business processing unit 20a and the second business processing unit 20b are the sources; for integrated group G2, the first business processing unit 20a is the source; and for integrated group G3, the second business processing unit 20b is the source. The group integration unit C5 stores the source information R indicating each of these sources in the integrated storage unit 32.

[0049] Furthermore, the group integration unit C5 also integrates the mapping information of account a belonging to acquisition group h1 and acquisition group h2, respectively. In the example in Figure 7, the mapping information of the first account a1(x1) belonging to acquisition group h11 and the second account a2(x2) belonging to acquisition group h21 is integrated into the mapping information of integrated account A(X) of integration group G1. In addition, the mapping information of the first account a1(y1) belonging to acquisition group h11 is integrated into the mapping information of integrated account A(Y) of integration group G1. In addition, the mapping information of the second account a2(z2) belonging to acquisition group h21 is integrated into the mapping information of integrated account A(Z) of integration group G1.

[0050] The account count output unit C6 calculates the number of integrated accounts A associated with integrated group G, outputs the account count N, and stores it in the integrated storage unit 32. The account count N is the number of integrated accounts A.

[0051] As shown in Figure 8, the display screen generation unit C7 generates a display screen D that displays the integrated group G, the source information R associated with the integrated group G, the number of accounts N, the judgment result J, and the notification information W, in response to user input via the terminal device 10. The generated display screen D is transmitted to the terminal device 10 and displayed on the display unit 13.

[0052] (operation) Next, we will explain the operation of the integrated management device 30.

[0053] Figure 9 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the integrated management flow for group g.

[0054] As shown in Figure 9, the group acquisition unit C2 acquires the acquisition group h based on the first group g1 held by the first business processing device 20a and the second group g2 held by the second business processing device 20b (S1).

[0055] The determination result output unit C3 reads the integrated group G from the integrated storage unit 32 (S2), obtains the acquisition group h to be processed from the acquisition group h obtained in S1 (S3), determines whether the acquisition group h to be processed is included in the integrated group G read from the integrated storage unit 32, outputs the determination result J and stores it in the integrated storage unit 32 (S4).

[0056] In S4, if the notification information output unit C4 outputs a determination result J indicating that the acquisition group h to be processed is not included in the integrated group G, it outputs notification information W and stores it in the integrated storage unit 32 (S5).

[0057] The group integration unit C5 integrates the acquisition group h1 obtained based on the first group g1 and the acquisition group h2 obtained based on the second group g2 into an integrated group G and stores it in the integrated storage unit 32 (S6).

[0058] The account count output unit C6 calculates the number of integrated accounts A associated with integrated group G and outputs the account count N, which is then stored in the integrated storage unit 32 (S7).

[0059] The process returns to S3 and repeats until processing is complete for all of acquisition group h (S8: NO). When processing is complete for all of acquisition group h (S8: YES), the process proceeds to S9. In S9, the process waits until the user provides input (S9: NO). When the user provides input (S9: YES), the process proceeds to S10 and displays display screen D (S10).

[0060] (Effects and Benefits) According to the embodiment, the following effects are achieved.

[0061] (A) The integrated management device 30 can acquire the first group g1 from the first business processing device 20a, acquire the second group g2 from the second business processing device 20b, and manage the integrated group G which is a combination of the first group g1 and the second group g2.

[0062] (B) The judgment result output unit C3 determines whether the acquired group h acquired by the group acquisition unit C2 is included in the integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32, and outputs the judgment result J. By referring to the judgment result J, the user can find out that there is a group g in the business processing device 20 that was not included in the integrated group G, and can take measures such as deleting group g so that the group g with an unknown purpose does not remain and degrade security.

[0063] (C) The notification information output unit C4 can output notification information W to notify the user in an easy-to-understand manner when an acquisition group h that was not included in the integrated group G is included in the business processing device 20.

[0064] (D) The account number output unit C6 outputs the account number N, which is the number of integrated account A. By referring to the account number N, the user can find out the number of integrated account A associated with integrated group G, and this can be used as a reference to understand the usage status of group g in the business processing device 20.

[0065] (E) The display screen generation unit C7 generates a display screen D that displays the integrated group G, the source information R, the number of accounts N, the judgment result J, and the notification information W. This allows the user to view and confirm the integrated group G, which is formed by integrating the groups g held by the business processing device 20, as well as the source information R, the number of accounts N, the judgment result J, and the notification information W associated with the integrated group G, on the display screen D.

[0066] According to this embodiment, the integrated management device 30 can comprehensively manage the groups g created in each of the multiple business processing devices 20.

[0067] (Variation 1) In this embodiment, an example was described in which the integrated management device 30 acquires group g owned by the business processing device 20 and manages it as integrated group G. However, it is also possible to configure the business processing device 20 to acquire integrated group G owned by the integrated management device 30 and manage it as group g.

[0068] Figure 10 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional block of the information processing system 1 according to Modification Example 1.

[0069] As shown in Figure 10, the information processing system 1 has a group update unit C8.

[0070] When there is a change in the integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32, the group update unit C8 updates the first group g1 in the first business processing unit 20a and / or the second group g2 in the second business processing unit 20b based on the integrated group G.

[0071] When there is a change in integrated group G, the user can input instructions via terminal device 10 regarding whether to update the first group g1 or the second group g2.

[0072] As a result, the information processing system 1 can synchronize the integrated group G and group g with each other, improving the manageability of group g.

[0073] (Modification 2) The information processing system 1 may be configured to delete group g corresponding to integrated group G by deleting integrated group G.

[0074] Figure 11 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional block of the information processing system 1 according to the modified example 2.

[0075] As shown in Figure 11, the information processing system 1 has a group deletion unit C9.

[0076] The group deletion unit C9, in response to a user's instruction to delete integrated group G, deletes integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32, deletes first group g1 if a first group g1 corresponding to integrated group G is stored in the first business processing unit 20a, and deletes second group g2 if a second group g2 corresponding to integrated group G is stored in the second business processing unit 20b. The deletion state includes not only the deletion of the data itself, but also logical deletion by setting a deletion flag for integrated group G and group g.

[0077] This makes it easier for the information processing system 1 to delete integrated group G and the group g corresponding to integrated group G.

[0078] In this embodiment, an example was described in which the business processing device 20 has a first business processing device 20a and a second business processing device 20b, but the business processing device 20 is not limited to these two, and may have three or more. Similarly, in this embodiment, an example was described in which the terminal device 10 has terminal devices 10a, 10b, and 10c, but the terminal device 10 is not limited to three, and may have any number of them.

[0079] Furthermore, although the embodiment described an example in which the group acquisition unit C2 acquires the acquired group h from the business processing device 20 in response to an HTTP request, it is not limited to this. The group acquisition unit C2 may acquire the acquired group h sent by the business processing device 20 without an HTTP request, or it may acquire the acquired group h sent from the business processing device 20 in response to user input, or it may input the acquired group h from an external source in the format of CSV or the like.

[0080] Furthermore, although the embodiment described an example in which the integrated account acquisition unit C1 integrates account a using the account name as the key, the key is not limited to this and may also be a username, email address, account ID, etc. Also, although the embodiment described an example in which the group acquisition unit C2 integrates group g using the group name as the key, the key is not limited to the group name and may also be an email address, group ID, etc.

[0081] Furthermore, although the embodiment described an example in which the first business processing device 20a has a first group g1 and a first account a1, and the second business processing device 20b has a second group g2 and a second account a2, a single device may have a first application and a second application, with the first application realizing the functions of the first business processing device 20a and the second application realizing the functions of the second business processing device 20b.

[0082] Furthermore, although the embodiment described an example in which notification information W indicating that the acquisition group h is not included in the integrated group G is displayed on the display screen D, the user may be allowed to input an instruction to approve the notification information W, and the display screen D may be able to show whether or not it has been approved. This reduces the burden of the confirmation work, as the user only needs to check the integrated group G in which the unapproved notification information W is displayed.

[0083] In other words, the information processing system 1 includes a group acquisition unit C2 that acquires an acquisition group h based on a first group g1 to which multiple first accounts a1 owned by the first business processing device 20a can belong, and a second group g2 to which multiple second accounts a2 owned by the second business processing device 20b can belong, and a determination result output unit C3 that determines whether the acquisition group h acquired by the group acquisition unit C2 is included in the integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32, and outputs a determination result J.

[0084] When the determination result output unit C3 outputs a determination result J indicating that the acquisition group h is not included in the integrated group G, the notification information output unit C4 outputs notification information W associated with the acquisition group h.

[0085] The integrated account acquisition unit C1 acquires integrated account A based on the first account a1 belonging to the first group g1 owned by the first business processing unit 20a and the second account a2 belonging to the second group g2 owned by the second business processing unit 20b. The account number output unit C6 outputs the account number N, which is the number of integrated accounts A associated with integrated group G.

[0086] The display screen generation unit C7 generates a display screen D that displays the integrated group G, the number of accounts N, the judgment result J, and the notification information W.

[0087] After the judgment result J is output by the judgment result output unit C3, the integrated group update unit C8 updates the integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32 based on the acquired group h.

[0088] When there is a change in the integrated group G stored in the integrated storage unit 32, the group update unit C8 updates the first group g1 in the first business processing unit 20a and / or the second group g2 in the second business processing unit 20b based on the integrated group G.
