[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of an information processing device, an information processing system, an information processing method, and a program according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0010] [Information Processing Systems] 1 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of an information processing system 1. Information processing system 1 includes an information processing device 100, a purchase processing device 200, and one or more terminal devices 300. These devices communicate via, for example, a network NW. The network NW includes, for example, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a wireless base station, a provider device, and the like.

[0011] Some or all of the functional configuration of information processing device 100 described above may be included in purchase processing device 200, and some or all of the functional configuration of purchase processing device 200 may be included in information processing device 100. Furthermore, the functional configurations included in information processing device 100 and purchase processing device 200 may be distributed across multiple devices.

[0012] For example, information processing device 100 is a device inside the target company, and purchase processing device 200 is a device outside the target company. Purchase processing device 200 may also be a device inside the target company.

[0013] [Terminal Device] The terminal device 300 is a terminal device used by an approver, an applicant, and a manager who manages the operations within the company, such as applications, which will be described later.

[0014] [Information processing device] The information processing device 100 is a server that manages various information related to employees in a company. The information processing device 100 includes, for example, a display control unit 110, an acquisition unit 120, a processing unit 130, and a storage unit 150. The display control unit 110, the acquisition unit 120, and the processing unit 130 are realized by, for example, a hardware processor such as a CPU executing a program (software). Some or all of these components may be realized by hardware (including circuitry) such as an LSI (Large Scale Integration), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or an SOC (System On Chip), or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware. The program may be stored in advance in a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or flash memory (a storage device with a non-transitory storage medium), or may be stored in a removable storage medium (a non-transitory storage medium) such as a DVD or CD-ROM, and installed in the storage device by inserting the storage medium into a drive device.

[0015] The storage unit 150 is a hard disk drive (HDD), flash memory, random access memory (RAM), etc. The storage unit 150 may be a network attached storage (NAS) device that the information processing device 100 can access via a network NW. The storage unit 150 stores first processing information 152, a processing program 154, and management information 156. The first processing information 152 is information related to application, inspection, and billing that an applicant or the like provides to the information processing device 100 using the terminal device 300.

[0016] The processing program 154 is a program that the processing unit 130 functions as, and processes the first processing information 152 to generate second processing information 252 that is provided to the purchase processing device 200 described below.

[0017] Management information 156 is information on the processing results of information processing device 100, the processing history, and the processing history of purchase processing device 200. Information on the history of purchase processing device 200 is provided to information processing device 100 from purchase processing device 200.

[0018] The display control unit 110 displays various interface screens on the display unit of the terminal device 300 in response to a request from the terminal device 300. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen. When performing a purchase-related process, the user inputs information into each field on the interface screen. The fields include, for example, the applicant, payment method, transaction type, supplier, and various other information. The interface screen is an interface screen in which the necessary information to be provided to the purchase processing device 200 is input.

[0019] The information processing device 100 performs purchase-related processing in cooperation with the API (Application Programming Interface) of the purchase processing device 200. At this time, necessary information based on the API specifications is used as input items on the interface screen. The information processing device 100 generates import data from the input information based on the API specifications and performs API cooperation.

[0020] The acquisition unit 120 acquires information provided by the terminal device 300 .

[0021] When the processing unit 130 receives various applications and processes from an applicant, it manages the received information as first processing information 152. Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the first processing information 152. The first processing information 152 includes, for example, an application ID, applicant, department, application content, supplier information, and payment pattern. The information in Fig. 2 is an example, and other information may be included, or some information may be omitted.

[0022] [Purchase processing equipment] The purchase processing device 200 is a device that performs various purchasing-related processes in cooperation with the information processing device 100. The purchase processing device 200 is a system that manages suppliers and contracts, automatically issues purchase requests and invoices, and improves the efficiency of purchasing-related processes.

[0023] The purchase processing device 200 includes, for example, an acquisition unit 210, an information processing unit 220, a notification control unit 230, and a storage unit 250. The acquisition unit 210, the information processing unit 220, and the notification control unit 230 are realized, for example, by a hardware processor such as a CPU executing a program (software). Some or all of these components may be realized by hardware (including circuitry) such as an LSI, ASIC, FPGA, GPU, or SOC, or may be realized by a combination of software and hardware. The program may be stored in advance in a storage device such as an HDD or flash memory (a storage device with a non-transitory storage medium), or may be stored in a removable storage medium (a non-transitory storage medium) such as a DVD or CD-ROM, and installed in the storage device by inserting the storage medium into a drive device.

[0024] Storage unit 250 is a hard disk drive (HDD), flash memory, RAM, etc. Storage unit 250 may also be a NAS device that purchase processing device 200 can access via network NW. Storage unit 250 stores second processing information 252. Second processing information 252 is information (import data) that information processing device 100 generates based on first processing information 152 and provides to purchase processing device 200.

[0025] The acquisition unit 210 acquires information (import data) provided by the information processing device 100 and manages the acquired information as second processing information 252.

[0026] The information processing unit 220 executes various processes based on the second processing information 252.

[0027] The notification control unit 230 issues various notifications to a predetermined terminal device 300. For example, notifications are sent using email, short mail, chat services, or the like.

[0028] [Processing Overview] 4 is a diagram illustrating an overview of the processing executed by information processing device 100 and purchase processing device 200. Information processing device 100 accepts various applications from terminal device 300 and processes the accepted applications in cooperation with purchase processing device 200. The various applications include an order application, an acceptance inspection application, and an invoice issuance application.

[0029] For example, when a person in charge of a target company requests the supply of a certain product or service from a specific supplier, the person in charge uses the terminal device 300 to submit an order application to the information processing device 100. For example, the order application is made by inputting the first processing information 152 shown in FIG. 3 described above, etc., into a specific interface screen provided by the information processing device 100. The information in the order application is linked to the purchasing processing device 200. When the order processing unit 221 of the purchasing processing device 200 processes the order in response to the order application, the order data resulting from the order processing is linked to the information processing device 100.

[0030] For example, an inspection request is made when information for inspection is entered on a specific interface screen provided by information processing device 100, or when a person in charge performs an operation to confirm the information for inspection. The information in the inspection request is linked to purchasing processing device 200 (inspection data is linked). In response to the inspection request, inspection processing unit 222 of purchasing processing device 200 performs inspection processing. In this way, inspection is carried out.

[0031] For example, an invoice issuance application is made when a person in charge inputs information for invoice issuance on a specific interface screen provided by the information processing device 100 or applies for invoice issuance. The information on the invoice issuance application is linked to the purchasing processing device 200 (bond data is linked). The invoice processing unit 223 of the purchasing processing device 200 performs invoice ordering processing in accordance with the bond data. As a result, an invoice is issued and provided to the information processing device 100 (invoice file linkage is performed).

[0032] As described above, information processing device 100 and purchase processing device 200 work together to share information related to purchases and perform purchase-related processing. Purchase processing device 200 then efficiently performs various purchase-related processes and manages information related to purchases. Meanwhile, in-house personnel can use information processing device 100, which is part of the in-house system, to request ordering, inspection, invoice issuance, and so on.

[0033] [Comparative Example] When performing purchase-related processing and the like through cooperation between an information processing device and a purchase processing device as described above, manual operations may be required as shown in FIG. 5, which may result in low convenience.

[0034] FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating processing by an information processing device and a purchasing processing device in a comparative example. The following explanation will explain, as an example, the linking of order information when making an order request. The information processing device accepts the order request. The order request is made by a person in charge entering information related to the order request into an interface screen provided by the information processing device. After the order request is approved, the purchasing team manually copies and pastes the contents of the request information related to the order request into the interface screen provided by the purchasing processing device. The purchasing processing device generates a purchase order based on the copied and pasted information and processes the request.

[0035] As mentioned above, in the comparative example, the purchasing team and others had to perform some tasks manually, which was quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0036] In this embodiment, the information processing device 100 reduces the load and improves convenience by performing the following processes. The information processing device 100 displays on the display unit an interface screen (IM1 in FIG. 7, described later) that associates input items with input fields and is prepared for inputting information required for a purchasing processing device that executes purchasing processing related to purchases to perform the purchasing processing. The information processing device 100 acquires input information entered into the input field for each input item entered into the interface screen.

[0037] The information processing device 100 writes (automatically writes) the input information in an area for writing input information corresponding to the input items in the format when input into the purchasing processing device 200, and provides format information including the input information to the purchasing processing device 200, thereby causing the purchasing processing device 200 to process the input information and execute the purchasing process.

[0038] The purchasing process is, for example, an ordering process for placing an order. Information processing device 100 displays an interface screen on the display unit that associates input items and input fields prepared for ordering. Information processing device 100 enters input information (first processing information 152) in an area for entering input information corresponding to the input items in an ordering format when input into purchasing processing device 200, and provides information (import data) in the ordering format including the input information to purchasing processing device 200, thereby causing purchasing processing device 200 to process the input information and execute the ordering process.

[0039] 6 is a diagram for explaining the processing by the information processing device 100 and the purchasing processing device 200 of this embodiment. The information processing device 100 accepts an order application. When the order application is approved, the information processing device 100 automatically processes the application information related to the order application to generate import data and inputs it into the purchasing processing device 200. The purchasing processing device generates a purchase order based on the input import data (second processing information) and processes the application.

[0040] 7 is a diagram for explaining the generation of import data. The person in charge inputs information required for an order application into an interface screen IM1 provided by the information processing device 100. For example, the person in charge inputs information corresponding to items A and B (e.g., supplier, product, etc.). The processing unit 130 of the information processing device 100 generates import data D using the input information.

[0041] The information processing device 100 executes the processing program 154 to generate the import data D. The processing program 154 defines code information for the import data D for each application, and defines information indicating in which area of ​​the code information the information entered on the interface screen IM1 should be written when generating the import data D. By executing the processing program 154, the information processing device 100 generates the import data D, which is code information in which the input information is written in the appropriate area (corresponding area) of the code information.

[0042] As described above, information processing device 100 automatically generates import data D and inputs it into purchase processing device 200, thereby reducing the burden on the company and improving convenience.

[0043] The above explains about purchase order application, but the same applies to inspection process and invoice process as follows.

[0044] The purchasing process is an inspection process for carrying out an inspection. Information processing device 100 displays an interface screen on the display unit that associates input items and input fields prepared for inspection. Information processing device 100 enters input information (first processing information 152) in an area for entering input information corresponding to the input items in the inspection format when input into purchasing processing device 200, and provides information (import data) in the inspection format including the input information to purchasing processing device 200, thereby causing purchasing processing device 200 to process the input information and perform the inspection process.

[0045] As described above, by having information processing device 100 automatically generate import data D and input it into purchase processing device 200, the in-house load on the inspection process is reduced and convenience is improved.

[0046] The purchasing process is a billing process for making a bill. The information processing device 100 displays an interface screen on the display unit that associates input items and input fields prepared for billing. The information processing device 100 enters input information in an area for entering input information (first processing information 152) corresponding to the input items in the billing format when input into the purchasing processing device 200, and provides information (import data) in the billing format including the input information to the purchasing processing device 200, thereby causing the purchasing processing device 200 to process the input information and execute the billing process.

[0047] As described above, by having information processing device 100 automatically generate import data D and input it into purchase processing device 200, the in-house load on invoice issuance processing is also reduced, improving convenience.

[0048] [flowchart] 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by information processing device 100. First, information processing device 100 accepts first processing information 152, such as application information (S100). Next, information processing device 100 determines whether the application has been approved (S102). If the application has been approved, information processing device 100 processes first processing information 152 into second processing information 252, which is information for input (S104), and inputs the processed import data (second processing information 252) into purchase processing device 200 (S106). This completes one routine of processing in this flowchart.

[0049] As described above, information processing device 100 automatically generates second processing information 252 and provides second processing information 252 to purchase processing device 200, thereby executing purchase-related processing, thereby improving convenience.

[0050] For example, when input information is entered into an interface screen and the approver approves the input information, information processing device 100 enters the input information in an area for entering input information corresponding to the input items in the format used when inputting the input information into purchase processing device 200, and provides format information including the input information to purchase processing device 200, causing purchase processing device 200 to process the input information and execute purchase processing. In this way, approval triggers automatic processing by purchase processing device 200, improving user convenience. For example, the user does not need to perform any operations after approval, improving convenience.

[0051] [Sequence diagram for sending invoices] The purchase processing device 200 issues an invoice based on invoice format information (invoice format) including the input information, provides the invoice to the invoice recipient via the network, and further provides the invoice together with identification information associated with the input information to the information processing device 100. The information processing device 100 manages the invoice in association with the identification information.

[0052] FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the information processing device 100 and the purchasing processing device 200. First, the information processing device 100 transmits import data (input information) related to invoice issuance to the purchasing processing device 200 (S200). Next, the purchasing processing device 200 generates an invoice based on the import data (S202). After the administrator checks the generated invoice and performs a specified operation, the purchasing processing device 200 sends the invoice to the billing destination (S204). The invoice is sent, for example, by email. The purchasing processing device 200 then sends the invoice to the information processing device 100 (S206). For example, the purchasing processing device 200 acquires import data together with or including specified identification information in the processing of S200. The purchasing processing device 200 then sends the invoice together with (or including) the above-mentioned identification information to the information processing device 100. The above-mentioned identification information is identification information issued when applying for an order.

[0053] Next, the information processing device 100 manages the invoice in association with the application of the identification information (S208). Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the management information 156. The management information 156 is information in which, for example, identification information such as an application ID, the billing content of the invoice, and the invoice file are associated with each other. The management information 156 may include other information in addition to the above.

[0054] As described above, the purchase processing device 200 automatically sends the invoice to the billing destination and the information processing device 100, and the information processing device 100 can manage the invoice by associating it with the identification information of the purchase application. This allows the administrator to easily check and search for invoices.

[0055] [About error notifications] After providing format information (import data) including input information to the purchase processing device 200, if the purchase processing device 200 issues an error notification for the format information, the information processing device 100 obtains the error notification and notifies the relevant parties corresponding to the input information of the format information of the error using a specified communication tool.

[0056] The communication tool is a pre-defined tool such as email or an internal chat service. The stakeholders are pre-defined stakeholders. For example, stakeholders associated with the application or members of a department are pre-registered stakeholders.

[0057] The information processing device 100 manages the error notification information in management information 156. The information processing device 100 acquires, for example, the error notification information and information indicating that the error notification information has been notified to relevant parties from the purchase processing device 200. The information processing device 100 generates the management information 156 based on, for example, the acquired information.

[0058] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of management information 156 including error notification information. Management information 156 is information in which, for example, identification information such as an application ID is associated with status information indicating the processing status of purchase processing device 200. Status information includes, for example, information indicating that processing has been completed, information indicating that processing is in progress, and information indicating that an error has occurred. Management information 156 is provided, for example, in response to a request from terminal device 300 or another device. If an error occurs, the details of the error may also be displayed or notified.

[0059] Since information processing device 100 manages the occurrence of an error in management information 156, it is possible to easily check whether processing in purchase processing device 200 is proceeding smoothly.

[0060] According to the embodiment described above, the information processing device 100 records the input information entered into the input field for each input item on the interface screen in an area for recording input information corresponding to the input item in the format when input into the purchasing processing device 200, and provides information of the format including the input information to the purchasing processing device 200, thereby causing the purchasing processing device 200 to process the input information and execute the purchasing process, thereby improving user convenience.

[0061] The above describes the form for carrying out the present invention using an embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment, and various modifications and substitutions can be made within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the present invention.
