[0019] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the contents described in the following embodiments. Furthermore, the components in the embodiments described below include those that a person skilled in the art can easily imagine, those that are substantially the same, and those that are within the so-called equivalent range. Furthermore, the components disclosed in the embodiments described below may be appropriately combined or appropriately selected for use.

[0020] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a multitask management system similar to that of Patent Document 1, in which an episode recording system according to the present invention is incorporated.

[0021] The configuration and operation of the parts of the episode recording system embedded multi-task management system (hereinafter simply referred to as the multi-task management system) 1 of this embodiment other than the episode recording system of the present invention are the same as those of the multi-task management system described in Patent Document 1, so they will be briefly explained.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the multitask management system 1 of this embodiment is made up of an input unit 11, an output unit 12, a storage unit 13, and a control processing unit .

[0023] The input unit 11 is composed of a plurality of input switches, a keyboard, a mouse, etc., each of which is connected to the control processing unit 14 and has a predetermined function assigned to it, and a user (inputter) of the multitasking management system 1 inputs various necessary data, such as the deadline for a task and the content of the task, into the multitasking management system 1.

[0024] The output unit 12 is composed of a display device such as a liquid crystal panel, a printer, or the like, and outputs commands and data inputted from the input unit 11 under the control of the control processing unit 14.

[0025] The input unit 11 and the output unit 12 can be configured with a touch panel. In this case, when the user touches the display position where the input content he / she wants to input is displayed, the position is detected by the position input operation, and the display content displayed at the detected position is input to the multitask management system 1 as the user's operation input content.

[0026] The storage unit 13 is connected to the control processing unit 14, and stores predetermined programs and predetermined data of each part according to the control of the control processing unit 14. The various predetermined programs include, for example, a control program that controls each part of the multitask management system 1 according to the function of each part, a program that sends a reminder of the deadline to the user when the deadline of the task is approaching, and a program that conveys information required for processing the task to the user. The various predetermined data include a simple task database 31 that stores information about each simple task (e.g., price, deadline, matters to be noted, priority, application destination, etc.), a composite task database 32 that stores information about composite tasks (e.g., inventory number, expiration date, size, material, function, use, etc.), and an input task database 33 that manages the simple tasks and composite tasks input by each staff member. In this embodiment, an episode database 34 is further provided for storing registered episodes independently of other databases.

[0027] Such a storage unit 13 includes, for example, a non-volatile storage element such as a ROM or an EEPROM. The storage unit 13 also includes a so-called working memory RAM of the control processing unit 14 that stores data generated during execution of the predetermined program. The storage unit 13 can also include a storage device with a relatively large capacity such as a hard disk.

[0028] The control processing unit 14 is configured with, for example, a CPU and its peripheral circuits, and controls each unit of the multitask management system 1 according to the function of each unit, calculates the deadline for each of the multiple tasks, and determines the items to be processed by the deadline. As shown in Fig. 1, the control processing unit 14 is functionally configured with a control unit 41, a simple task input unit 42, a compound task input unit 43, a reference information providing unit 44, a deadline display unit 45, and a deadline notification unit 46 by executing a control program stored in the storage unit 13. In this embodiment, the episode recording system further includes an episode registration button display control unit 47, an episode input unit 48, an episode edit / delete control unit 49, an episode viewer designation unit 50, an episode view control unit 51, an episode document attachment unit 52, and an inviolable area setting unit 53.

[0029] The control unit 41 controls each part of the multitask management system 1 according to the function of each part. The control unit 41 causes each part constituting the multitask management system 1 to operate so as to perform the desired function.

[0030] The simple task input unit 42 accepts input of a simple task from the user, and the input simple task is stored in the input task database 33. The compound task input unit 43 accepts input of a compound task from the user, and the input compound task is stored in the input task database 33.

[0031] The composite task database 32 stores the due date and processing content of each task that constitutes a composite task.

[0032] The reference information providing unit 44 displays information (e.g., past similar cases and legal basis) required for processing a compound task stored in the compound task database 32 on the output unit 12. Furthermore, if there are matters that the user needs to pay attention to or share when processing a compound task, the user can input the matters through the input unit 11 to attach or add the information required for processing the compound task.

[0033] The delivery date display unit 45 displays the contents and delivery dates of each task included in the simple task and the compound task on the output unit 12. For example, the output unit 12 displays a list of the contents and delivery dates of each task (a so-called ToDo list) or a schedule of task processing. The delivery date notification unit 46 notifies the user with an alert when the delivery date of each task included in the simple task and the compound task falls below a preset period.

[0034] The operation of the episode recording system will now be described in detail.

[0035] An example of the episode registration procedure is shown in Figure 2.

[0036] First, in step 100, it is determined whether or not an episode ToDo button as the episode registration button 62 exemplified in FIG.

[0037] If the Episode ToDo button is displayed, proceed to step 110 and enter the Mental Barometer that shows your daily mood. , feeling Users can freely input episodes, such as insights, suggestions, opinions, reasons for others' evaluations, whistle-blowing, compliance, and cases of harassment, regardless of whether they are negative or positive. In addition to manual input, voice input is also possible.

[0038] Next, the process proceeds to step 120, and the episode viewer designation unit 50 designates the viewer, for example, the person who wrote the entry (the user of the multitask management system 1 in this embodiment), a third party designated in advance for each episode, or an administrator. (Job Specify the supervisor (other than the current supervisor under the system).

[0039] Then, in step 130, the input episodes are stored in the episode database 34 together with the persons who can view each episode.

[0040] Next, the process proceeds to step 140, where it is determined whether or not there are any attached documents such as a supervisor questionnaire, a mental health diagnosis certificate, etc. If the determination result is positive, the process proceeds to step 150, where documents are attached by episode document attachment unit 52. Then, in step 160, the documents are stored in episode database 34 for each episode.

[0041] On the other hand, if the business owner does not want to permit the user to register an episode, the episode registration button display control unit 47 turns off the display of the episode registration button 62 illustrated in the display screen 61 of Fig. 3. This makes it possible to prevent the user from registering an episode.

[0042] 3 shows an example of an episode registration screen displayed on a computer display screen 61. Here, an episode ToDo button is displayed as the episode registration button 62. By making the episode registration button 62 an episode ToDo button in this way, the user can register easily in the same way as with a normal ToDo button.

[0043] Here, the episode ToDo has the same basic functions and database format as the current ToDo, but the database 34 is independent from the other databases 31 to 33.

[0044] An example of the procedure for editing and deleting an episode is shown in Figure 4.

[0045] First, in step 200, it is determined whether the person who inputs the episode (here, the user) is the actual person. If the result of the determination is positive, the process proceeds to step 210, where episode editing / deletion control unit 49 allows episode editing / deletion. On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step 200 is negative, the process proceeds to step 220, where episode editing / deletion is rejected.

[0046] An example of the episode browsing procedure is shown in Figure 5.

[0047] First, in step 300, it is determined whether the computer operator is one of the permitted viewers specified in step 120 of Fig. 2. If the determination result is positive, the process proceeds to step 310, where it is determined whether disclosure of the non-violable area containing personal information and sensitive information is also requested. If the determination result in step 310 is positive, the process proceeds to step 320, where it is determined whether disclosure of the non-violable area is permitted. If the determination results in both steps 310 and 320 are negative, the process proceeds to step 330, where the episode viewing control unit 51 displays only the episodes excluding the non-violable areas on the display screen 61.

[0048] On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step 320 is positive, i.e., the person who wrote the entry has given his / her consent or request, the process proceeds to step 340, where the episode viewing control unit 51 displays the episode including the inviolable area on the display screen 61.

[0049] On the other hand, if the result of the determination in step 300 is NO, the process proceeds to step 350, where viewing of all episodes is denied.

[0050] In this way, you can easily record your daily realizations and selectively share them, eliminating the sense of isolation. You can expect to create a sense of presence that you can send out, create evidence, and experience a cathartic effect. Also, by sharing information about each episode, you can make a declaration in the same way as a "modern suggestion box."

[0051] Furthermore, when monitoring, the data can be run through a search Excel or generation AI outside of inviolable areas that contain personal information and attributes.

[0052] In addition, by making it possible for employees to temporarily access and view the information as "still employed" even after they have left the company, it will be possible for those employees to check the evidence.

[0053] An example of the episode viewing screen is shown in FIG.

[0054] In this embodiment, the episode edit / delete control unit 49 is provided to enable not only episode deletion but also episode editing, allowing input errors to be corrected later and providing a high degree of freedom. Note that the episode edit / delete control unit 49 can also be configured as an episode deletion control unit that does not allow episode editing, prioritizing prevention of tampering.

[0055] In this embodiment, since the episode document attachment section 52 is provided to enable the attachment of episode documents, for example, a supervisor questionnaire or a mental health diagnosis report can be attached to an episode and stored as necessary. Note that if no documents need to be attached, the episode document attachment section 52 can be omitted.

[0056] In this embodiment, it is possible to reliably prevent information leakage because the episodes are stored in the database 34 that is independent of the other databases 31, 32, and 33. Note that by taking measures to prevent information leakage, it is also possible to store the episodes in, for example, part of another database.

[0057] An example of an episode input screen with a pull-down dialogue is shown in Figure 7. The text can be customized. Note that the dialogue is not limited to the pull-down dialogue.

[0058] An example of a choice-type mental barometer input screen with a level selection method is shown in Figure 8. When information is input using this level selection method, it is easy to analyze using a generation AI, for example.

[0059] In this embodiment, the episode recording system according to the present invention is incorporated into a multitask management system, and the episode registration button 62 is an episode ToDo button similar to a ToDo button, so that the user can easily and simply use it together with the multitask management system. Note that the episode recording system can also be incorporated into a task management system other than the multitask management system, or the episode recording system can be provided independently of other systems. do.
