DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program according to an embodiment of 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. The information processing system 1 includes an approval device 100, an information processing device 200, and one or more terminal devices 300. These devices communicate with each other 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] A part or all of the functional configuration of the approval device 100 may be included in the information processing device 200, or a part or all of the functional configuration of the information processing device 200 may be included in the approval device 100. Furthermore, the functional configurations included in the approval device 100 and the information processing device 200 may be distributed among multiple devices.

[0012] [Terminal Device] The terminal device 300 is a terminal device used by approvers, applicants, and managers who manage the operations within the company, such as applications, which will be described later.

[0013] [Approval Device] The approval device 100 is a server that manages various information related to employees in a company. The approval device 100 includes, for example, an approval processing unit 110 and a storage unit 120. The approval processing unit 110 is 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 (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 (a storage device with a non-transitory storage medium) such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or flash memory, 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.

[0014] The storage unit 120 is a hard disk drive (HDD), flash memory, random access memory (RAM), etc. The storage unit 120 may be a network attached storage (NAS) device that can be accessed by the approval device 100 via the network NW. The storage unit 120 stores approval information 122.

[0015] When the approval processing unit 110 receives an application from an applicant, it displays the application on the display unit of the terminal device 300 of the set approver. When the approver approves, the approval processing unit 110 displays the content of the application and information indicating that the previous approver has already approved it on the display unit of the terminal device 300 of the next approver. In this way, the approval processing unit 110 processes internal decisions based on the approval route. Applications are made based on, for example, official authority regulations, and the approver and approval route differ depending on the content of the application.

[0016] The approval information 122 includes the type of application, the timing of the start of the application, the approval status of the approver of the application, the approval timing of the approver, etc. The type of application may be any characteristic of the content of the application, such as the responsible department, job authority, applicant, approval route, approver, application date, etc. The approval information 122 includes, for example, various information related to the application that is necessary for display and processing as shown in Figures 3 to 12 described below.

[0017] 2 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the approval information 122. The approval information 122 includes information such as an application ID, an applicant, a department, application content, job authority regulations according to the application content, the approval status of the approver of the application, and the approval time of the approver of the application.

[0018] The department may be, for example, the department of the company to which the applicant belongs or the department related to the application. There may be multiple levels of departments. The job authority regulations are regulations that define the authority to approve the application. For example, the job authority for a transaction of a certain transaction amount is defined, and the approver for this transaction is determined by the job authority regulations. In addition to the above approval information, the memory unit 120 may also store personal information (such as employee numbers, departments, and employment relationships) of employees belonging to the company and other people who have business relationships with the company.

[0019] [Information processing device] The information processing device 200 is a device that performs various processes using the approval information 122. The information processing device 200 includes, for example, an acquisition unit 210, an information processing unit 220, a display control unit 230, a notification control unit 240, and a storage unit 250. The information processing unit 220, the display control unit 230, and the notification control unit 240 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, 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.

[0020] The storage unit 250 is a HDD, flash memory, RAM, or the like. The storage unit 250 may be a NAS device that the information processing device 200 can access via the network NW. The storage unit 250 stores approval information 252 (122) and statistical information 254. The approval information 252 is the approval information 122 provided by the approval device 100. The statistical information 254 is information resulting from statistical processing of the approval information 252 by the information processing unit 220 (details will be described later).

[0021] The acquisition unit 210 acquires the above-mentioned approval information 122 from the approval device 100 and manages the acquired approval information 122 as approval information 252.

[0022] The information processing unit 220 performs statistical processing using the approval information 252 to generate statistical information 254 .

[0023] The display control unit 230 causes the display unit to display the statistical information 254. The display unit may be a display unit linked to the information processing device 200, or may be a display unit of the terminal device 300.

[0024] The notification control unit 240 issues various notifications to a predetermined terminal device 300. For example, notifications are sent using email, short mail, chat services, or the like.

[0025] The information processing unit 220 acquires approval information 252, which associates the type of application, the start timing of the application, the approval status of the approver of the application, and the approval timing of the approver, from the approval device (management device) 100 that manages the applications. The information processing unit 220 derives, by statistical processing, one or both of the number of approvals and the approval time for each application type for each approver included in the approval information 252, and causes the display unit to display information indicating the derived results.

[0026] [Number of approvals by department] The information processing unit 220 displays on the display unit the number of approvals for each application type by approvers who have a large number of approvals for each application type in a more prominent manner than the other numbers. The application type may be, for example, a department or the content of the application. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the number of approvals by department. In the example of FIG. 3, the number of approvals for each application type by the first, second, third, and fourth responsible persons for a predetermined period is displayed. Furthermore, for example, a field with a large number of approvals (the number of approvals for a combination of application type and responsible person) is displayed in a more prominent manner the greater the number of approvals. The prominent manner may be expressed, for example, by color, font size, thickness, or the like, or, as shown in FIG. 3, a heat map may be used in which the greater the number of approvals, the darker the color.

[0027] Furthermore, the information processing unit 220 may cause the display unit to display the total number of approvals by each approver for a predetermined period of time.

[0028] The above-mentioned predetermined period, the type of application to be displayed, and the approver may be selected by the user viewing the information. In this case, the information processing unit 220 extracts information based on the selection result from the approval information 252, performs statistical processing on the extracted information, and displays the number of approvals for each responsible person, the total number of approvals, etc. on the display unit. This allows the user to easily view the desired number of approvals.

[0029] The number of approvals for the application type of the approver with the largest number of approvals may be omitted from being displayed in a more prominent manner than the other numbers, and the number of approvals may be displayed instead.

[0030] As described above, the information processing unit 220 displays the number of approvals in association with the type of application and the approver, making it easy to recognize which approver has a heavy burden, and which type of application (for example, department) is causing a burden to the approver.

[0031] [Number of approvals by department] The information processing unit 220 displays on the display unit the approval times of the approvers who have taken the longest approval times for each application type in a more prominent manner than the other approval times. The application type may be, for example, the department or the content of the application. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of approval times by department. In the example of FIG. 4, the approval times of the first, second, third, and fourth responsible persons for each application type over a predetermined period are displayed. The approval time is, for example, the time from when the approver becomes available for approval (when the approval workflow arrives at the approver's terminal device 300 and approval can be made) to when the approver makes approval.

[0032] Furthermore, for example, a field with a long approval time (approval time for a combination of application type and responsible person) is displayed in a more conspicuous manner the longer the approval time. The conspicuous manner may be expressed, for example, by color, color scheme, font size, thickness, etc., or, as shown in a heat map in FIG. 4, the longer the approval time, the darker the color.

[0033] Furthermore, the information processing unit 220 may cause the display unit to display the total approval time of each approver for a predetermined period of time.

[0034] The above-mentioned predetermined period, the type of application to be displayed, and the approver may be selected by the user viewing the information. In this case, the information processing unit 220 extracts information based on the selection result from the approval information 252, performs statistical processing on the extracted information, and displays the approval time for each responsible person, the total approval time, etc. on the display unit. This allows the user to easily view the desired approval time.

[0035] The approval times of the application types of approvers with long approval times may be omitted from being displayed in a more prominent manner than the other numbers, and the approval times may be displayed instead.

[0036] As described above, the information processing unit 220 displays the approval time in association with the type of application and the approver, making it easy to recognize which approver has a heavy burden, and which type of application (for example, department) is causing a burden to the approver.

[0037] [Time required for approval] The information processing unit 220 refers to the approval information 252, and tallies, for each predetermined period, the percentage of approvals for which the time from the start of the application to final approval is up to a first hour (e.g., 24 hours), the percentage of approvals for which the time until final approval exceeds the first hour but is up to a second hour (e.g., 48 hours), and the percentage of approvals for which the time until final approval exceeds the second hour, and causes the display unit to display the results of the tallies for each predetermined period. The above-mentioned time divisions are one example, and the time may be divided into smaller stages.

[0038] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the results of a compilation of the time required for approval requests. The information processing unit 220, for example, refers to the approval information, statistically processes the time from the submission of each application to the completion of approval, and displays the compilation results shown in Fig. 5. The vertical axis of Fig. 5 indicates the percentage, and the horizontal axis of Fig. 5 indicates the period. Fig. 5 shows the percentage of applications for which final approval was granted within 24 hours for each period, the percentage of applications for which final approval was granted within 24 to 48 hours, the percentage of applications for which final approval was granted after 48 hours, and the percentage of applications for which approval is still pending.

[0039] Furthermore, the information processing unit 220 may cause the display unit to display the total number of applications in a predetermined period and the average time required for approval in the predetermined period.

[0040] The above-mentioned predetermined period, the type of application to be displayed, the target approver, etc. may be selected by the user viewing the information. The time division for calculating the percentage of the approval time required may also be selected. In these cases, the information processing unit 220 extracts information based on the selection results from the approval information 252, performs statistical processing on the extracted information, and displays the percentage of the approval time required for final approval on the display unit. This allows the user to easily view the trend in approval time required.

[0041] For example, a viewer can refer to the monthly trend of the time required for approval requests, and if the number of applications requiring approval within 24 hours is not reaching the target value, the viewer can further analyze the approval information 252 to consider the cause and countermeasures.

[0042] [Number of applications and time required for approval] The information processing unit 220 tally up the number of applications and the time required for the application from submission to final approval (approval time) for each specified period, and displays the tally up results on the display unit for each specified period so that the number of applications and the time required for final approval can be compared.

[0043] Figure 6 is a diagram showing the number of applications and the time required for approval. The vertical axis of Figure 6 represents the number of applications and the average time required for approval, and the horizontal axis of Figure 6 represents the month. For example, users can confirm the correlation between an increase in the number of applications and an increase in the average time required for approval. For example, if the average time required for approval is long in a month with a relatively low number of applications, users can easily confirm that there are factors other than the increase in the number of applications, and that these factors need to be investigated and addressed.

[0044] [Trends in the number of applications by time required for approval] The information processing unit 220 divides the time required for an application from submission to final approval (approval time) into predetermined time intervals (for example, intervals of 12 hours or 1 day), tallies the number of applications corresponding to the classification, and displays the results of the tally on the display unit.

[0045] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the number of applications by the time required for approval. The vertical axis of FIG. 7 shows the number of applications, and the horizontal axis of FIG. 7 shows the time required for approval. For example, a user can easily grasp the trend in the time required for approval over a specified period. In FIG. 7, the information processing unit 220 may derive the median or average of the time required for approval and display it on the display unit. For example, if there are a large number of applications requiring more than two days for approval, it can be easily confirmed that measures are necessary.

[0046] [Number of applications by type (e.g., department)] The information processing unit 220 may refer to the approval information 252 and display application information indicating the proportion of the number of applications by application type (for example, department) among the total number of applications in a predetermined period on the display unit. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of application information. In FIG. 8, the proportion of applications by department is shown in a pie chart. This makes it easy to see which departments have many applications and which departments have few applications. When an operation is performed on a specific department in the pie chart in FIG. 8, detailed information about the department corresponding to the operation may be displayed on the display unit (for example, information for each department's job authority regulations in FIG. 9, which will be described later).

[0047] [Number of applications by type (e.g., department)] As described above, each application is associated with a job authority rule in the approval information 252. The information processing unit 220 displays, on the display unit, information (job authority rule application information) that associates the number of applications for each job authority rule, the time required from application to final approval for each job authority rule, which is obtained by statistically processing the time, and the degree of return of the application for each job authority rule.

[0048] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing administrative authority regulation application information. The administrative authority regulation application information is information that associates, for example, the number of applications for each administrative authority regulation, the return rate, the rejection rate, and the average time required for approval. This makes it easy to check the number of applications, the return rate, the rejection rate, the average time required for approval, and other information for administrative authority regulation applications in response to an application. For example, it is easy to analyze administrative authority regulation applications that require measures, such as a high number of applications for a certain administrative authority regulation, a high number of rejections or rejections, or a long average time required for approval.

[0049] [Notification of Eligible Applications] The information processing device 200 refers to the approval information 252, identifies applications for which final approval has not been completed even after a predetermined time has passed since the start of the application, and sends a notification urging approval to the contact information of the approver of the identified application (for example, an approver who needs to approve). The information processing device 200 refers to the approval information 152, identifies applications for which a predetermined time has passed since the approver became able to approve, and sends a notification urging approval to the contact information of the approver of the identified application. A notification is sent to the notification destination according to the application that meets the conditions as described above.

[0050] FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the information processing device 200. First, the information processing device 200 extracts applications that satisfy the conditions by referring to the approval information 252 (S100). Next, the information processing device 200 identifies a notification destination according to the extracted application (S102). For example, the storage unit 120 stores information specifying a notification destination according to the application and the application status, and the information processing device 200 identifies a notification destination based on this information. For example, as described above, the notification destination is the contact information of the approver of the identified application. Next, the information processing device 200 notifies the approver of the identified notification destination (104). For example, the approver is notified by a notification including information indicating that approval work is required and a link for performing the approval work. This can promote approval.

[0051] Moreover, the conditions may be (A), (B), and (C) in FIG. 11 in addition to (or instead of) the above.

[0052] In (A), if the average approval time (time required for approval request) by department exceeds a predetermined time in a month, the information processing device 200 notifies the department. For example, the notification is sent to the department's email address or a contact point for a predetermined tool. The information processing device 200 refers to the approval information 252 and statistically processes the time required from the start of applications submitted during a predetermined period to final approval, and if the time required after statistical processing exceeds a first threshold, notifies the contact point associated with the group (type) of applications that exceeds the first threshold that the time required after statistical processing exceeds the first threshold. This allows the group to recognize the need to make improvements to the approval of applications.

[0053] In (B), if the actual number of applications by department in a month is equal to or exceeds a first number, the information processing device 200 notifies the department. For example, the notification is sent to the department's email address or a contact point for a specified tool. The information processing device 200 identifies applications for official authority regulations for which the number of applications in a specified period exceeds a second threshold, and notifies the contact point associated with the group (application type) corresponding to the identified official authority regulations that applications for official authority regulations have exceeded the second threshold in a specified period. This makes it possible to recognize that there are many applications for official authority regulations in the group, and to recognize the need for improvements to approvals, official authority regulations, etc.

[0054] In (C), if the actual number of rejected cases by administrative authority in a month is equal to or exceeds the second number, the information processing device 200 notifies the department corresponding to the administrative authority (the department). For example, the notification is sent to the email address of the department or the contact information for a specified tool. The information processing device 200 identifies applications for administrative authority rules for which the number of rejected applications in a specified period exceeds a third threshold, and notifies the contact information associated with the group corresponding to the identified administrative authority rules that an application for administrative authority rules with a rejected number exceeding the third threshold in a specified period has been received. This allows the group to recognize applications for administrative authority rules with a high number of rejected applications and recognize the need for improvements to applications, approvals, administrative authority rules, etc.

[0055] [Exclude approval time that meets the conditions] The information processing device 200 may acquire work information related to the work status of the approver, for example, from the approval device 100, and use the work information to perform the various statistical processing described above. Work information includes, for example, time periods or days when the approver was unable to perform approval work, such as time periods or days when the approver was on vacation, absent from work, or on a business trip.

[0056] The information processing device 200 may exclude the above-mentioned time period from the above-mentioned required time for approval. For example, if approver A is on paid leave when he / she is available to perform approval work, the information processing device 200 may perform statistical processing by excluding the paid leave period from the required time for approval.

[0057] As described above, the information processing device 200 performs the processing, thereby making it possible to provide the user with information that matches the actual situation.

[0058] [Authorization by proxy configurator] The information processing device 200 may request approval from a proxy approver for an application that satisfies certain conditions, such as the time required for approval having elapsed for a predetermined period of time or the time when a predetermined approver has not approved the application for a predetermined period of time.

[0059] 12 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the approval device 100 and the information processing device 200. First, the information processing device 200 extracts applications that satisfy the conditions (S200). Next, the information processing device 200 requests the approval device 100 to provide setting information (S202). The setting information is information about a proxy approver who is set as a proxy for the approver.

[0060] Next, the approval device 100 provides the setting information to the information processing device 200 (S204). Next, the information processing device 200 requests approval from the terminal device 300 of the proxy approver (S206). The proxy approver is, for example, a proxy approver of the approver who needs to perform the approval work. Next, the information processing device 200 notifies the terminal device 300 of the approver that approval has been requested from the proxy approver (S208).

[0061] As described above, the information processing device 200 can expedite approval by requesting approval from a proxy approver even when approval is delayed.

[0062] In the above process, the setting information may be stored in advance in the information processing device 200. The proxy approver may be, for example, a proxy approver set in advance in the administrative authority regulations, or may be an approver set by the approver.

[0063] According to the embodiment described above, the information processing device 200 obtains approval information that corresponds to the type of application, the start timing of the application, the approval status of the approver of the application, and the approval timing of the approver from a management device that manages the applications, derives one or both of the number of approvals and the approval time for each type of application for each approver included in the approval information through statistical processing, and displays information showing the derived results on a display unit, thereby providing information regarding the approval of applications and improving convenience.

[0064] 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.
