[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Currently, there are known information processing devices that can output, for example, each item and its value displayed on a form as log information and store it in a database.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 (JP 2021-086479 A) discloses an information processing system aimed at improving the accuracy of form recognition. In this information processing system, an item extraction unit extracts detail items and the values ​​of the detail items included in the detail portion from read result data in which character strings read from an area indicating the detail portion of a form image are associated with information indicating the position of the character strings. In doing so, the item extraction unit extracts the detail items and the values ​​of the detail items by referencing first detail definition information that defines the detail items used in the form, keywords to be extracted as detail items, and the positions of the keywords in the form. Then, an output unit outputs the extracted detail items and the values ​​of the detail items as recognition results. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2021-086479 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, in the past, it was necessary to select the items to be output as log information and format the string for the log information.

[0013] Hereinafter, a business support device according to an embodiment of the present invention, to which an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing program are applied, will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

[0014] [Hardware configuration] 1 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the main parts of an embodiment of a business support device 1. The business support device 1 shown in Fig. 1 has a hardware configuration similar to that of, for example, a desktop personal computer, and mainly includes a storage unit 2, a control unit 3, a communication interface unit 4, and an input / output interface unit 5.

[0015] In addition to a desktop personal computer, a notebook personal computer or a tablet personal computer can be used as the business support device 1. Also, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or a portable information processing device such as a smartphone can be used as the business support device 1.

[0016] An input device 6 and an output device 7 are connected to the input / output interface unit 5. A monitor device (including a home television) can be used as the output device 7. The input device 6 can be a keyboard device, a mouse device, a microphone device, or a monitor device that cooperates with a mouse device to realize a pointing device function.

[0017] The storage unit 2 may be, for example, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a hard disk drive (HDD), or a solid state drive (SSD). The storage unit 2 includes a definition database 11 (an example of a definition storage unit) that is a storage area for output setting information of log information, and a log storage database 12 (an example of an extraction target storage unit) that is a storage area for log information whose output is specified by the output setting information. The storage unit 2 also stores a log information output control program 13 (an example of an information processing program) for controlling the output setting of log information.

[0018] 1, the definition database 11 and the log storage database 12 may be provided in a server device 16 provided on a predetermined network 15, which may be a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as a LAN (Local Area Network). In this case, storage and reading of information in the definition database 11 and the log storage database 12 is performed via the communication interface unit 4 and the network 15.

[0019] The control unit 3 operates based on the log information output control program 13 stored in the storage unit 2, and thereby functions as a screen display control unit 21 (an example of a display control unit), a definition generation unit 22 (an example of a generation unit), a setting storage control unit 23, and a log recording control unit 24 (an example of an extraction target storage control unit). The detailed operations of these functions will be described later.

[0020] In this example, the explanation will be given assuming that the screen display control unit 21 to the log storage control unit 24 are realized by software using the log information output control program 13, but all or part of these may also be realized by hardware such as an IC (Integrated Circuit).

[0021] The log information output control program 13 may be provided by being recorded in the form of file information in an installable or executable format on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-ROM or a flexible disk (FD).The log information output control program 13 may be provided by being recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a CD-R, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), a Blu-ray (registered trademark) disk, or a semiconductor memory.The log information output control program 13 may be provided by being installed via a network such as the Internet.The log information output control program 13 may be provided by being pre-installed in a ROM or the like within a device.

[0022] [overview] Next, an overview of the operation of the business support device 1 according to the embodiment will be described. The business support device 1 according to the embodiment automatically formats and outputs character strings of log information (an example of an extraction target) using a screen data structure in a so-called low-code development platform. This makes it possible to easily generate and output log information. The storage destination for log information is set to the log storage database 12 by default, but can be switched to a file or an OS (operating system) event log depending on a setting file.

[0023] In addition, the format of the log string is consistent across all screens, without the user having to be aware of it. The master page (an example of a parent screen) is used to set up the output of the log information, which helps keep the setup costs low. Also, if the screen layout is changed, it can be automatically reflected in the string of the log information.

[0024] 2 is a diagram showing an example of the display of an operation screen operated by a user and an example of a character string of output log information. This Fig. 2 shows that when a display button 30 (described later) is clicked, the log information is output and stored in the log storage database 12.

[0025] [Log Settings] (Settings screen image) A more detailed explanation follows. Fig. 3 shows examples of a layout editing screen, logic flow setting screen, and action setting screen for a master page. On the layout editing screen shown in Fig. 3(a), a desired control is selected from a list of controls such as captions, labels, and text boxes, and the desired control is placed on the screen by dragging and dropping with a mouse. The example in Fig. 3(a) shows an example in which text boxes for the business establishment and processing date and a magnifying glass display button 30 are placed on the screen.

[0026] The logic flow setting screen shown in Fig. 3(b) is used to set the processing to be performed when the display button 30 is clicked. The logic flow setting screen displays a list of processing to be performed when the display button 30 is clicked (action list). By selecting the "log output" action from this action list, it is possible to set a log output action that outputs log information when the display button 30 is clicked.

[0027] The log information to be output by the log output action can be set on the action setting screen shown in Fig. 3(c). For example, on the action setting screen, it is possible to set output such as "log type," "target panel," "whether to output hidden items (do not output hidden items)," "additional items," and "exclusion items," as shown in Fig. 3(c).

[0028] "Log type" allows you to select or directly specify the content to be output to the log summary from "Data inquiry," "File output," and "Batch execution."

[0029] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing areas on a master page that can be selected as a "target panel." As shown in FIG. 4, the area on the master page is divided into a command bar area 41, an extraction area 42, and a details area 43, each of which is called a placeholder (an example of a divided area). When setting the "target panel," you specify the area (panel) among these divided areas that you want to create a log string for. Note that you can specify multiple areas (panels) that you want to create a log string for.

[0030] "Whether to output hidden items" is a checkbox for setting whether or not (on / off) hidden items should be output as log strings when controls are hidden on the screen.

[0031] In "Additional Items," you can add and specify controls that are not included in the log string, such as a label that displays a name like "Tokyo Headquarters." Multiple "Additional Items" can also be specified.

[0032] In "Exclusion Items," you can specify controls that you do not want included in the log string to be output, such as the "Summary Text Box." Multiple "Exclusion Items" can also be specified.

[0033] (Log string output format specifications) As described above, the business support device 1 according to the embodiment stores the screen layout structure as data, enabling automatic generation of log strings and eliminating the need for detailed settings and development by the user. Furthermore, even if the screen layout is changed, log information is generated based on data corresponding to the changed screen layout. This allows changes to the screen layout to be automatically reflected in the log information.

[0034] The order in which the target controls are determined is as follows: 1. Obtain the captions and input controls from all controls on the target panel. Input controls are controls whose values ​​change depending on the user's operation, such as text boxes. 2. If "Do not output hidden items" is on, hidden controls will be excluded. 3. Add the control specified in "Additional Items". 4. Exclude the controls specified in "Exclude Items".

[0035] As shown in Figure 5, the log string is output on a new line for each caption label such as business establishment, department, and processing date. Also, for example, the log string for a range (period) such as processing date shown in Figure 6 is output joined with "~". Also, the log string for multiple items such as composite codes is output separated by ", (comma)" as shown in Figure 6.

[0036] For the radio buttons shown in Figure 7 for selecting the display unit, such as voucher or detail, and the check boxes for selecting the approval status classification, such as not applied, applied, or rejected, the text that is checked or turned on is output as a log string.

[0037] The candidate selection (suggestion) for Sample Customer 01, Sample Customer 02, etc. shown in Figure 8 is output with the value and name separated by "{} (curly brackets and closing curly brackets), for example, {1000, Sample Customer 01}, {1001, Sample Customer 02}, etc.

[0038] Hidden items are set to be output by default. In other words, by switching the range and optional radio buttons shown in Figure 9, you can switch between outputting the "range string" and outputting the "optional (hidden) string." However, even when the range radio button is selected and the "range string" is output to the log, the "optional string" is also output to the log, such as "Expense: range, 10000009~", {10000009, management work}, as shown in Figure 9.

[0039] (Log output settings using master page) Here, such log output settings can be made on each individual screen, but in the case of the business support device 1 of the embodiment, log output can be set collectively on the master page (parent screen). The master page corresponds to the template function of each child screen. The master page (parent) and each screen (child) are in a parent-child relationship, so to speak. On the master page (parent) side, one or more areas called "placeholders" are placed, as shown in Figure 10(a), and on the child screen side, controls can be placed only in those areas.

[0040] By assigning the log output setting (logic flow) shown in Figure 10(b) to the display button 30 on the master page side shown in Figure 10(a), individual log output settings (logic flow) on the child screen side can be eliminated.

[0041] Furthermore, the log output settings shown in FIG. 10(b) can be overridden (added or overwritten) on the child screen as needed, as shown in FIG. 11. FIG. 12(a) is an example of a display of a first child screen in which the business establishment and processing date fields are arranged in the extraction area 42. For example, to change the log type of "data inquiry" set on the master page to "data display," the user clicks the display button 31 for the child screen. This causes the screen display control unit 21 to display the log setting screen for the child screen shown in FIG. 12(b). The user sets the log type to "data display" on this log setting screen, as shown in FIG. 12(b).

[0042] Similarly, FIG. 13(a) is a display example of a second child screen in which the base date is placed in the command bar area 41 and the display unit and approval status classification items are placed in the extraction area 42. If the user also wants to obtain the log output for the base date placed in the command bar area 41, the user clicks the display button 31 for the child screen. This causes the screen display control unit 21 to display the log setting screen for the child screen shown in FIG. 13(b). For this log setting screen, the user sets the "command bar area panel" as the "target panel" as shown in FIG. 13(b).

[0043] The final log output settings are determined by overriding (adding or overwriting) the log output settings on the child screen shown in Figure 14(b) to the log output settings on the master page shown in Figure 14(a). Specifically, the child screen settings for "Log type" and "Do not output hidden" are "overwritten" with the settings on the parent screen. Also, the child screen settings for "Target panel," "Additional items," and "Exclusion items" are "added" to the settings on the parent screen (setting items on the parent screen cannot be deleted). Note that for setting items that are not specified, the settings on the parent screen are used.

[0044] Therefore, the "Data Display" setting of the "Log Type" shown in Figures 12(a) and 12(b) is overwritten to the "Data Inquiry" of the parent screen, as shown in Figure 12(c). Also, the "Command Area Panel" setting of the "Target Panel" shown in Figures 13(a) and 13(b) is added to the "Extraction Area Panel" of the parent screen, as shown in Figure 13(c).

[0045] This allows you to obtain the final log output settings, such as "Log type" as "Data display," "Target panel" to which log information is output as "Extraction area panel and command bar area panel," "Whether to output hidden information (do not output hidden information)" as "On," "Additional items" as "Name label," and "Exclusion items" as "Summary label and unused label," as shown in Figure 14(c).

[0046] [Data Structure] (Associating a master page with a child screen) Next, each piece of data such as the master page, first child screen, and second child screen is held in a hierarchical structure as shown in Fig. 15. That is, the example in Fig. 15 shows an example in which a page ID of "PAGEID0" is assigned to the master page, and a first child screen of "PAGEID1" and a second child screen of "PAGEID2" are associated with this master page of "PAGEID0".

[0047] (Screen layout data structure) The screen layout of the master page is managed by array data of control information, as shown in Fig. 16, and is held in a hierarchical structure based on a list of child element IDs. That is, the examples in Fig. 16(a) and Fig. 16(b) are examples in which a page, a command bar, a placeholder (command bar area 41), a card (extraction area), a placeholder (extraction area 42), a display button 30, a card (details area 43), and a placeholder (details area 43) are assigned to the control IDs ID0 to ID7 of the master page, respectively.

[0048] 16(a) and 16(b) are examples in which a command bar with ID1, a card with ID3 (extraction area 42), and a card with ID6 (details area 43) are hierarchically assigned as child elements to a page with a control ID of ID0. Also, the examples in FIGS. 16(a) and 16(b) are examples in which a placeholder (command bar) with ID2 is hierarchically assigned as a child element to a command bar with ID1, and a placeholder (extraction area 42) with ID4 and a display button 30 with ID5 are hierarchically assigned as child elements to a card with ID3 (extraction area 42). Furthermore, the examples in FIGS. 16(a) and 16(b) are examples in which a placeholder (details area 43) with ID7 is hierarchically assigned as a child element to a card with ID6 (details area 43).

[0049] In addition, the examples in Figures 17(a) and 17(b) are examples in which a place item (command bar), reference date caption, reference date text box, place item (extraction area 42), display unit caption, slip unit radio button, detail unit radio button, approval status classification caption, unapplied check box, applied check box, and rejected check box are assigned to the control IDs ID11 to ID21 of the child screen, respectively.

[0050] 17(a) and 17(b) are examples in which the child elements of the reference date caption of ID2 and the reference date text box of ID3 are hierarchically assigned to the control ID of the place item (command bar) of ID 11. Also, the examples in Fig. 17(a) and 17(b) are examples in which the child elements of the display unit caption to the rejection checkbox of ID15 to ID21 are hierarchically assigned to the control ID of the place item (extraction area 42) of ID14.

[0051] The control IDs of the master page and child screens are unique to prevent duplication (all control IDs are unique).

[0052] Fig. 18 is a diagram showing an example of setting information unique to each control. As shown in Fig. 18, for example, in the case of a reference date caption with a control ID of ID12, setting information such as a label and a reference date is set. Also, in the case of a reference date text box with a control ID of ID13, setting information such as an initial value of April 1, 2021 (initial value: 2021 / 04 / 01) and calendar display being on (calendar display: on) is set.

[0053] FIG. 19 shows examples of event assignment setting information, logic flow setting information (information indicating start → log information output → end), action setting information for a master page, and action overwrite setting information for a child screen. FIG. 19(a) is an example of event assignment setting information in which a click operation event type and a first logic flow are assigned to the display button 30 with ID 5. FIG. 19(b) is an example of logic flow settings in which a first log output is assigned to the first logic flow. FIG. 19(c) is an example of action setting information for a master page in which the log type is set to "Data Inquiry," the target panel is set to "Extraction Area Panel," and "Hidden Output (Do Not Hidden Output)" is set to "Off." FIG. 19(d) is an example of action overwrite setting information for a child screen in which the "Target Panel" is set to "Command Bar Area Panel." Note that this action overwrite setting information for a child screen is generated only when settings are configured on the child screen side.

[0054] [Developer setup flow] Next, such log setting information is generated by a definition generating unit 22 in response to setting operations performed by a developer or the like, based on the master page and child screens displayed on a monitor device (output device 7) by a screen display control unit 21 shown in Fig. 1. A setting storage control unit 23 controls storage of the log setting information generated by the definition generating unit 22 in the definition database 11.

[0055] That is, the screen display control unit 21 controls the display of a layout setting screen including a list of controls as shown in Fig. 20 on the output device 7. When a developer sets desired controls on this layout setting screen and saves it as a master page, the definition generation unit 22 generates a page definition including a page ID such as "PAGEID0" and a page name such as "master page" as shown in Fig. 21. The definition generation unit 22 also generates a layout definition as shown in Fig. 22(b) for a screen layout created by the developer, as exemplified in Fig. 22(a). The data structure is as described using Fig. 16.

[0056] Next, the developer sets an event for the master page. Specifically, when the logic flow setting screen shown in Fig. 23 is displayed by the screen display control unit 21, the developer sets a log output action and performs a save operation for the logic flow shown in Fig. 24. The example in Fig. 24 is an example of a first logic flow for display processing, in which "start" is the first action, "message display" is the second action, "end" of the message display is the third action, "log output setting" is the fourth action, and "end" of the log output setting is the fifth action.

[0057] When such a logic flow save operation is performed, the definition generation unit 22 generates the event allocation definition shown in Figure 25(a), the logic flow definition shown in Figure 25(b), the action definition shown in Figure 25(c), and the flow definition shown in Figure 25(d). The event allocation definition shown in Figure 25(a) indicates that the first logic flow is displayed by clicking the display button 30 with a control ID of ID5. Furthermore, the logic flow definition shown in Figure 25(b) indicates that the name of the display process is assigned to the first logic flow, and that the first action is the start action of the first logic flow.

[0058] The action definition shown in FIG. 25(c) indicates that the types of the first to fifth actions are "start," "message display," "end of message display," "log output," or "end of log output." The action definition shown in FIG. 25(c) indicates that for the second action, message display, a unique message setting such as "Data display will be performed. Is this OK?" is set. The action definition shown in FIG. 25(c) indicates that for the fourth action, log output, a unique setting of the type of log information such as "data inquiry, target panel, extraction area panel..." is set.

[0059] The flow definition shown in FIG. 25(d) shows, as a first flow, an example in which operation transitions from the first action, "start," to the second action, "message display." The flow definition shown in FIG. 25(d) also shows, as a second flow, an example in which operation transitions from the second action, "message display," to the third action, "message display termination," and as a third flow, an example in which operation transitions from the second action, "message display," to the fourth action, "log output." Note that the third action, "message display termination," has a unique callback setting of "No," and the fourth action, "log output," has a unique callback setting of "Yes." The flow definition shown in FIG. 25(d) also shows, as a fourth flow, an example in which operation transitions from the fourth action, "log output," to the fifth action, "end" of log output.

[0060] The log output settings are made based on the log output setting screen shown in FIG. 26, which is displayed by the screen display control unit 21 as described above. The list of command bar cards directly below the page is displayed as the target panel. Added items are hidden because there are no target controls. Excluded items are also hidden because there are no target controls. The displayed content is described in accordance with the example of the log output setting side of the list described below.

[0061] Next, Fig. 27 is a diagram for explaining the layout setting of the list on the above-mentioned child screen. Of these, Fig. 27(a) shows the page definition of the list, and Fig. 27(b) shows an example of the layout setting screen of the list. In Fig. 27(a), the page ID of "PAGEID0" is the page ID of the master page. The child screen of this list is assigned the page ID of "PAGEID1". Furthermore, this child screen of the list with "PAGEID1" is associated with the master page with "PAGEID0".

[0062] 28 shows the layout definition of each control. Of these, ID0 to ID7 are data set based on the master page.

[0063] In FIG. 28, the following controls are assigned to ID8 to ID40.

[0064] ID8 → Place item (command bar), ID9 → Base date caption, ID10 → Base date text, ID11 → Place item (extraction area), ID12 → Display unit caption, ID13 → Slip unit, ID14 → Detail unit, ID15 → Business caption, ID16 → Business text, ID17 → Business search button, ID18 → Business label, ID19 → Processing date caption, ID20 → Processing date range, ID21 → Processing date text, ID2 2 → Approval status category caption, ID23 → Not applied, ID24 → Applied, ID25 → In approval, ID26 → Rejected, ID27 → Withdrawn, ID28 → Approved, ID29 → Item caption, ID30 → Range, ID31 → Optional, ID32 → Item range, ID33 → Item text, ID34 → Item search button, ID35 → Item label, ID36 → Customer caption, ID37 → Range, ID38 → Optional, ID39 → Customer search button, ID40 → Customer suggestion.

[0065] In FIG. 28, the place items (details area) and the controls in the details area are omitted.

[0066] Next, when setting events for the list, the logic flow of the master page shown in FIG. 29(a) is displayed by the screen display control unit 21. Log output is set based on the log output setting screen shown in FIG. 29(b), which is displayed by the screen display control unit 21. The example in FIG. 29(b) is an example of overwrite setting. Also, the example in FIG. 29(b) is an example in which a command bar is added to the target panel by checking the checkbox of the command bar. Note that it is prohibited to turn off the "card (extraction area)" set on the master page (the master page setting is modified in the logic flow of the master page).

[0067] Furthermore, the screen display control unit 21 displays, as additional items, a list of controls that are not output by default in the log output, such as "label," etc. Furthermore, the screen display control unit 21 displays, as excluded items, a list of controls that are output by default in the log output, such as "caption," "text box," "check box," "radio button," and "candidate selection."

[0068] When such log output settings are made, the definition generation unit 22 generates the action overwrite definition shown in Fig. 29(c). In the example of Fig. 29(c), for the action ID of the fourth action, a command bar area 41 is added to the target panel, a business establishment label is added as an additional item, and a processing date caption and processing date text are specified as excluded items. In this example, the setting storage control unit 23 overwrites and saves this action overwrite definition over the existing definition stored in the definition database 11.

[0069] [Log information recording behavior] Next, Fig. 30 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of the operation of recording log information. As shown in Fig. 30, the screen display control unit 21 reads out each definition information of the list set and registered as described above from the definition database 11. Then, based on this definition information, the screen display control unit 21 creates an execution screen that displays each item such as the display unit, business establishment, processing date, approval status classification, expense item, business partner, and summary, as shown in Fig. 30, and controls the display on the output device 7.

[0070] Furthermore, as the "source of acquisition," a supplier acquisition API program (API: Application Programming Interface) acquires list data such as sample supplier 01 with code 1000, sample supplier 02 with code 1001, sample supplier 03 with code 1002, etc. The screen display control unit 21 displays the list data acquired by the supplier acquisition API program, for example, as a pull-down menu. Then, a supplier selected from this list is displayed in the supplier field of the list as sample supplier 01, sample supplier 02, etc.

[0071] Next, to record log information, the user clicks the display button 30. As explained using FIG. 19(a) and other figures, clicking the display button 30 is an operation to specify the recording of log information. Therefore, the log storage control unit 24 extracts log information corresponding to the log output settings set on the master page and child screen as described above based on the execution screen, transfers it to the log storage database 12, and controls its storage. As a result, by clicking the display button 30 set in advance, the operation of recording log information in the log storage database 12 can be performed.

[0072] The example in Figure 30 is an example in which a record containing log information such as a job name of "List," an overview of "Data Inquiry" and "Details," a user name of "Sample User," and an update date and time of 10:00 AM on May 1, 2021 (2021 / 5 / 1 10:00:00) is stored in the log storage database 12.

[0073] The "Details" log string is generated by the log storage control unit 24 based on the settings configured by the developer as described above. The example in FIG. 30 is an example in which a log string with "April 1, 2021 (2021 / 04 / 01)" as the base date, a log string with "slip unit" as the display unit, and a log string with "10000001, Tokyo Head Office" as the business location are extracted based on the execution screen. The example in FIG. 30 is also an example in which a log string with "Not Applied, Applied, Approving" as the approval status classification, a log string with "Range, 10000009~" as the expense, and a log string with "Any, ~, {1000, Sample Customer 01}, {1001, Sample Customer 02}" as the customer are extracted based on the execution screen.

[0074] The customer is the customer selected by the user from the list data acquired by the customer acquisition API program as described above. In the example of Figure 30, the added item is "Establishment Label" and the excluded item is "Processing Date Caption.Processing Date Text."

[0075] [Effects of the embodiment] As is clear from the above description, the business support device 1 according to the embodiment can automatically generate log strings by using the screen data structure in the low-code development platform. This eliminates the need for detailed settings and development by the user, and enables log information to be output with an extremely small number of setting steps.

[0076] In addition, because the master page is used as a screen template, the output setting work for each screen can be further reduced, and it is also easy to add or delete log information to be output only for specific screens. Furthermore, because the master page is used, the setting cost can be kept low. Furthermore, even if the screen layout is changed, log information corresponding to the changed layout is generated, so the change in the screen layout can be automatically reflected in the log information to be output.

[0077] By inheriting the log output settings of the master page, robust log control management can be performed without depending on the developer. It also ensures application quality while reducing development and customization costs.

[0078] [Contribution to the United Nations-led Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)] This embodiment can contribute to improving business efficiency and promoting appropriate management decisions by companies, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 8 and 9.

[0079] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to reducing waste and promoting paperless and electronic systems, thereby contributing to the achievement of SDGs Goals 12, 13, and 15.

[0080] Furthermore, this embodiment can contribute to strengthening control and governance, which can contribute to the achievement of Goal 16 of the SDGs.
