[0004] However, in most cases, prior art such as Patent Document 1 defines multiple requirements separately, such as requirements related to the display screen (input screen), requirements related to data processing functions, and requirements related to the data itself, which makes it extremely difficult to grasp the processing of each part of the system and the entire system, resulting in the problem of the so-called black box.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] [Embodiment 1] An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below. Prior to describing each unit of an information processing device according to this embodiment, the important concepts of this embodiment, "data, set, set type, and mapping," will first be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of "data, set, set type, and mapping" according to this embodiment.

[0012] (data, set, set type) The "data" according to this embodiment includes, as an example, a "set" and a "set type." The "first data" and "second data" shown in FIG. 2 are examples of data according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the "first data" and "second data" are also simply referred to as "data." As will be explained below, in this embodiment, "data" that has been mapped can also be the target of mapping again. For this reason, data referred to as "second data" in this embodiment may also be treated as "first data."

[0013] The upper part of Figure 2 shows data and processing related to the processing name "application processing." More specifically, the upper part of Figure 2 shows an example of "first data" that includes a set "application screen items" and the set type of that set, "screen items." Also, as another example of "first data," an example that includes a set "application data" and the set type of that set, "logical data."

[0014] A set generally includes one or more elements. As one example, the set "application screen items" includes one or more data elements that are displayed on or entered via an application screen. As another example, the set "application data" includes one or more data elements that are entered via an application screen.

[0015] On the other hand, the set type of a certain set is information that indicates the type of the set. In this embodiment, there are multiple types of "sets." The type to which a target "set" corresponds is specified by the "set type" associated with the "set."

[0016] As an example, the set type "screen item" included in the "first data" shown in Figure 2 is information indicating that the set type of the set "application screen item" is "screen item." As another example, the set type "logical data" is information indicating that the set type of the set "application data" is "logical data."

[0017] In the above explanation, an example was described in which "data" includes a "set" and a "set type." However, this does not limit the present embodiment, and the concept of a "set" may include a "set type." In this case, the "set" is expressed as including one or more elements and the "set type" of the "set."

[0018] (Mapping) As an example, a "mapping" according to this embodiment is a mapping that takes as input data including a set containing one or more data elements and the set type of the set, and outputs data including a set containing one or more data elements and the set type of the set. Here, in this embodiment, the data on which a mapping operates is also referred to as "first data," and the data obtained by operating the mapping is also referred to as "second data." The "second data" can be treated as the "first data" in a mapping that follows the mapping.

[0019] With the above in mind, the "mapping" according to this embodiment can also be expressed as a mapping that takes as input a first data item that includes a first set containing one or more data elements and the set type of the first set, and that outputs a second data item that includes a second set containing one or more data elements and the set type of the second set.

[0020] Furthermore, the "mapping" according to this embodiment is a concept that includes a "trigger" that includes a startup process and a "process" that is started by the startup process included in the "trigger." Here, a trigger can include one or more branch conditions and startup processes associated with each branch condition.

[0021] In the example shown in Figure 2, a "trigger" is defined for a target set that includes the element "application button" and the set type "screen item," and the trigger is executed by pressing the "trigger button" shown schematically in Figure 2 as an example.

[0022] As mentioned above, the trigger includes a "launch process" for starting the target process. In the example shown in Figure 2, the target process is an "application process," so pressing the "trigger button" executes the "application process" shown in the upper part of Figure 2.

[0023] In the example shown in Figure 2, an "application process" is executed in which first data is input and second data is output. Here, the second data includes, as an example, a set "application result screen item set" and its set type "screen item." In addition, the second data includes, as another example, a set "application completed data" and its set type "logical data."

[0024] In this way, in this embodiment, as an example, processing related to data is systematically handled as a mapping, and data is systematically handled as including a set and a set type. Therefore, in the information processing according to this embodiment, multiple requirements such as requirements related to the display screen (input screen), requirements related to the data processing function, and requirements related to the data itself are expressed from the systematic perspective of "set, set type, mapping."

[0025] Therefore, even if the types of data to be handled and the processing, etc. increase, it is easy to grasp the processing of each part of the system and the entire system.

[0026] In the past, when configuring a data processing system, for example, even if the creator of the system was able to understand the contents of the system, it was often difficult for the client who ordered the system to understand the internal structure of the system. Furthermore, even on the creator's side, it was often difficult to understand each part or the whole of the system every time the system was updated, or it was often difficult to understand each part or the whole of the system due to changes in creators, etc.

[0027] As described above, in this embodiment, as an example, data processing is systematically handled as mappings, and data is systematically handled as including sets and set types, which has the advantage of making it easy to grasp the processing of each part of the system and the entire system without incurring the problems described above.

[0028] (Information processing device 1) The information processing device 1 according to this embodiment will be specifically described below. Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the information processing device 1 according to this embodiment.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing device 1 includes a control unit 10, a storage unit 20, a reception unit 30, a communication unit 40, and a display unit 50.

[0030] (Reception Department) The receiving unit 30 receives various data to be processed by the information processing device 1. Then, the receiving unit 30 supplies the received various data to the control unit 10. As an example, the receiving unit 30 receives input of a first set by the user. The reception unit 30 is configured to include various devices such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel, for example, but this does not limit the present embodiment.

[0031] (Display) The display unit 50 displays a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for the user to input various data to the information processing device 1, and displays various data input by the user or various data input by the user and processed by the control unit 10. The display unit 50 is configured to include a display panel as an example, but this does not limit the present embodiment.

[0032] (Communications Department) The communication unit 40 communicates with devices external to the information processing device 1. The communication unit 40 transmits data supplied from the control unit 10 to the external device, and supplies data received from the external device to the control unit 10. Here, the data received by the communication unit 40 and supplied to the control unit 10 may include data to be processed by the control unit 10.

[0033] The information processing device 1 and the external device are connected to each other via a network, for example, so that they can communicate with each other. The specific configuration of the network does not limit the present embodiment, but examples include a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), a wired LAN, a WAN (Wide Area Network), a public line network, a mobile data communication network, or a combination of these networks.

[0034] (Storage part) The memory unit (storage unit) 20 stores various data, programs, etc. that are referenced by the control unit 10. As an example, the memory unit 20 stores first data to be processed by the control unit 10 and second data obtained by the processing by the control unit 10.

[0035] (Control unit) 1, the control unit 10 includes an acquisition unit 11 and a mapping unit 12. As an example, the acquisition unit 11 acquires first data including a first set including one or more data elements and a set type of the first set.

[0036] For example, the mapping unit 12 executes a mapping in which the first data is input and the second data includes a second set including one or more data elements and the set type of the second set is output. Here, the mapping executed by the control unit 10 is as described above.

[0037] As described above, data processing executed by the information processing device 1 is systematically handled as a mapping, and data is systematically handled as including a set and a set type. Therefore, in the information processing device 1 according to this embodiment, multiple requirements such as requirements related to the display screen (input screen), requirements related to the data processing function, and requirements related to the data itself are expressed from the systematic viewpoint of "set, set type, mapping."

[0038] Therefore, even if the types of data to be handled and the processing, etc. increase, it is easy to grasp the processing of each part of the system and the entire system. (Specific processing example) Specific examples of processing by the information processing device 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. An example of a UI (User Interface) included in the registration screen displayed by the display unit 50 is shown on the left side of FIG. 3. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the UI is a UI for employee registration. The headings of each item shown in the UI and the input data entered into each item constitute a set of screen components. Also, as shown in FIG. 3, the screen components include a "Register" button as an example of a trigger button.

[0039] When the registration button is pressed, a registration trigger is executed. The registration trigger includes a start-up process for starting the registration process, and as a result, the registration process is executed. Here, the registration process is a process for storing the values ​​entered on the registration screen in a DB (Data Base, storage unit 20), as shown in FIG. 3 as an example.

[0040] In the example shown in FIG. 3, the set of screen components is an example of the above-mentioned first data, and the data stored in the DB is an example of the above-mentioned second data.

[0041] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining each set shown in FIG. 3 in more detail. As shown on the left side of FIG. 4, the headings of each item shown by the UI and the input data entered into each item constitute a set of screen components. More specifically, a set (set name: Employee Registration Screen Items) containing data elements represented by the table shown on the bottom left side of FIG. 4 is formed. In addition, a set type "Screen Item Configuration" is associated with this set.

[0042] On the other hand, as shown in the lower right of Figure 4, the data stored in the DB constitutes a set (set name: employee information). Furthermore, the set is associated with a set type of "logical data."

[0043] Fig. 5 is a diagram for explaining the registration process according to this processing example in more detail. As shown in Fig. 5, when the "Register" button is pressed, a trigger (trigger name: Employee Registration Button) associated with the "Register" button starts the process "Employee Registration Process."

[0044] Then, by the activated "Employee Registration Process", the multiple data elements (user input values) included in the set "Employee Registration Screen Items" are stored as one record in the set "Employee Information".

[0045] (Example of a specific set configuration) Next, a specific configuration example of a set according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a diagram for explaining a specific configuration example of a set according to this embodiment.

[0046] As shown in Fig. 6, a "set" according to this embodiment is, for example, a block of data in a unit that is meaningful to the user, and corresponds to a table. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, the table includes V components (vertical components), H components (horizontal components), and elements. Note that V components and H components are sometimes referred to as subsets.

[0047] V components are the components that make up a set and correspond to columns. H components are the components that cross V components registered in a set and correspond to records (rows). Elements are the individual elements that belong to V components or H components and correspond to individual data elements.

[0048] (Reference relationships between sets) The sets according to this embodiment define reference relationships between the sets. Figure 7 is a diagram for explaining the reference relationships between the sets according to this embodiment. In the example shown in Figure 7, the set "Employee Registration Screen Items" contains data elements related to the items (V components) of "Screen Item Name," "Control Type," "Caption," and "Affiliation Screen."

[0049] In the example shown in FIG. 7, the set "Employee Registration Screen Items" refers to the set "Screen Master" and the set "Control Type Master."

[0050] More specifically, the elements entered into the V component "Belonging Screen" are selected from the elements registered in the set "Screen Master." Also, the elements entered into the V component "Control Type" are selected from the elements registered in the set "Control Type Master." Here, the selection process may be performed automatically by the control unit 10 according to a predetermined selection algorithm, or may be performed by the control unit 10 with reference to input from the user.

[0051] The selection of elements based on the reference relationship between such sets is performed by the mapping unit 12 of the control unit 10 by, for example, referring to reference relationship information that defines the reference relationship. The referenced set is also called a referenced set. The referenced set is, for example, stored in the storage unit 20.

[0052] In other words, in this embodiment, as an example, the memory unit 20 stores a referenced set that is referenced by at least one of the first set and the second set, and the data elements of at least one of the first set and the second set are selected from the data elements included in the referenced set.

[0053] (Specific examples of sets and set types) Next, a specific configuration example of the set and set type according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 8. The processing described below can be performed by the control unit 10 as an example.

[0054] As shown in the upper left of Fig. 8, in this embodiment, the set type is defined by defining the set type required to represent the system, and the V component is defined by predefining the V component required for the desired set.

[0055] As shown in the center of FIG. 8, a set according to this embodiment is defined by giving it an arbitrary set name, determining the set type, and the V components to which it belongs.

[0056] In addition, detailed definition of a set according to this embodiment is performed by defining a set condition and registering elements. As an example, as shown on the right side of Figure 8, a set condition "reference" is set between the V component "control type" and the set "control type master", and the set "control type master" is defined as the referenced set of the V component "control type".

[0057] Similarly, as shown on the right side of Figure 8, a set condition "reference" is set between the V component "belonging screen" and the set "screen master", and the set "screen master" is defined as the referenced set of the V component "belonging screen".

[0058] (Detailed explanation of processes and triggers) Next, the process and trigger according to this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 9. Fig. 9 is a diagram for explaining the process and trigger according to this embodiment in detail.

[0059] As shown in Fig. 9, "processing" is, for example, composed of a "processing group," a "processing name," a "processing content," and a "subsequent processing." Here, the "processing content" includes an "input," an "operation," and an "output." The "subsequent processing" includes a "branching condition," a "subsequent processing group," and a "subsequent processing name."

[0060] The process group is, for example, a tag that arbitrarily groups processes. The process group can be defined in advance by the "process group definition" process. The process name is, for example, the name of the process, and can be any name.

[0061] The processing content is defined by input, calculation, and output. An input, for example, is the input to the processing content. Multiple inputs can be specified. An calculation, for example, is the specific content performed in the processing. The calculation can be defined in advance in a "processing master," which is a referenced set. An output, for example, is the output of the calculation result performed in the processing content. Multiple outputs can be specified.

[0062] It is possible to define multiple process contents within a process specified by a certain process name. In other words, multiple groups as shown in the figure can be defined within one process.

[0063] The subsequent process is a process that is executed following the above-mentioned process content, and is defined by, for example, a branching condition, a subsequent process group, and a subsequent process name. The branching condition is, for example, a branching condition when the subsequent process differs depending on the process result. The branching condition can be defined in advance in the "processing result master", which is a referenced set. The subsequent process group is, for example, a group of subsequent processes. The subsequent process name is, for example, the name of the process that will be started as a subsequent process.

[0064] In addition, in the subsequent process, a plurality of sets of branching conditions, subsequent process Gr, and subsequent process name can be defined. In other words, a plurality of groups as shown in the figure can be defined in one process.

[0065] 9, a "trigger" is, for example, configured to include a "processing group," a "trigger name," a "trigger occurrence type," a "trigger occurrence element," and a "process to be started." Here, the "process to be started" includes a "branching condition," a "subsequent processing group," and a "subsequent processing name."

[0066] The process group is, for example, a tag that arbitrarily groups processes. The process group can be defined in advance by the "process group definition" process. The process name is, for example, the name of the process, and can be any name.

[0067] The trigger name, for example, is the name of the trigger. Trigger names can be assigned arbitrarily. The trigger occurrence type, for example, is the trigger type, such as manual processing or external call. The trigger occurrence type can be defined in advance in the "processing trigger type master", which is a referenced set. The trigger occurrence element, for example, is the element that causes the trigger to occur. For example, it could be a GUI button (YY button) displayed on a certain screen (XX screen).

[0068] The process to be started (start process) is defined by a branching condition, a subsequent process group, and a subsequent process name. The branching condition, for example, is a branching condition when the start process differs depending on the result of the trigger action. The subsequent process group, for example, is a group of subsequent processes. The subsequent process name, for example, is the name of the process to be started as the subsequent process.

[0069] In addition, in the process to be started, multiple sets of branch conditions, subsequent process Gr, and subsequent process name can be defined. In other words, in the process to be started, multiple groups as shown in the figure can be defined in one trigger.

[0070] (Example of a series of processes including triggers and processes) Next, a series of processing examples including triggers and processing according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 10. Fig. 10 is a diagram for explaining a series of processing examples including triggers and processing according to this embodiment.

[0071] As shown in Fig. 10, a trigger includes one or more branch conditions and a start-up process associated with each branch condition. In the example shown in Fig. 10, "start-up process 1" is associated with "branch condition 1," and "start-up process 2" is associated with "branch condition 2."

[0072] As an example, when branch condition 2 is satisfied in the trigger, startup process 2 is executed, thereby executing the process shown in the center of Fig. 10. As shown in the center of Fig. 10, this process includes detailed process 1, detailed process 2, and one or more branch conditions to subsequent processes (simply expressed as "subsequent processes" in the center of Fig. 10). As an example, after executing detailed process 1 and detailed process 2, the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 determines whether any of the one or more branch conditions to subsequent processes is satisfied. Then, if any of the branch conditions is satisfied, the control unit 10 executes the subsequent process associated with the branch condition.

[0073] In this way, the process according to this embodiment includes a branching condition to a subsequent process to be executed after the process, and a process to start the subsequent process associated with the branching condition. This allows a series of multiple processes to be executed appropriately, starting from a trigger and depending on the branching condition.

[0074] (Information processing method) The information processing method according to this embodiment will be described below. an acquiring step of acquiring data including a set including one or more data elements and a set type of the set; a mapping step of executing a mapping in which the data is input and data including a set including one or more data elements and a set type of the set is output; Contains:

[0075] Here, the acquisition step is executed, for example, by the acquisition unit 11 included in the information processing device 1. Note that the acquisition step may be executed, for example, by a device other than the acquisition unit 11 included in the information processing device 1 or through an operation by a user.

[0076] Moreover, the mapping step is, for example, executed by the mapping unit 12 included in the information processing device 1. Note that the acquisition step may be, for example, executed by a device other than the mapping unit 12 included in the information processing device 1 or through an operation by a user.

[0077] As described above, the data processing performed by the information processing method according to this embodiment is systematically handled as a mapping, and data is systematically handled as including a set and a set type. Therefore, in the information processing method according to this embodiment, multiple requirements such as requirements related to the display screen (input screen), requirements related to the data processing function, and requirements related to the data itself are expressed from the systematic perspective of "set, set type, mapping."

[0078] Therefore, even if the types of data to be handled and the processing, etc. increase, it is easy to grasp the processing of each part of the system and the entire system. [Screen transition] (Screen transitions related to groups) An example of screen transitions related to sets will be described below with reference to Fig. 11 to Fig. 14. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a set definition screen according to the present embodiment 1. The set definition screen is generated by the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 and displayed by the display unit 50.

[0079] (Screen transition example 1 for gatherings) As shown on the left side of FIG. 11, the "Set Definition" screen according to the first embodiment includes, as an example, a "Register" button and a "Clear" button.

[0080] 11, the "Set Definition" screen includes, as an example, a "Reload" button, a "Reflect Updates" button, and a "Refine" button. Also, as shown in the lower right of Fig. 11, the "Set Definition" screen includes, as an example, a "No." column, a "Set Type Name" column, a "Set Name" column, a "Description" column, two "V Compo" (abbreviation for V component) columns, a "Detailed Definition" column, an "Edit" column, and a "Delete" column.

[0081] Here, the contents displayed in the "No." column, the "Set Type Name" column, the "Set Name" column, and the "Explanation" column correspond to the display items on the lower left side of Fig. 11. The control unit 10 determines the contents displayed in the "No." column, the "Set Type Name" column, the "Set Name" column, and the "Explanation" column based on input or selection by the user.

[0082] As an example of a screen transition related to a set, when the user presses the "Edit" button in the "V Compo" column on the screen, the screen transitions to an editing screen related to that item. For example, when the user presses the "Edit" button in the "V Compo" column on the screen in row 00008 of the "No" column, the control unit 10 transitions the display screen to the screen shown in FIG.

[0083] Fig. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen related to item management according to the present embodiment 1. Fig. 12 shows a "display screen related to V component selection in the (all) item management_list pane" as an example of a "display screen related to item management." The display screen related to item management is also generated by the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 and displayed by the display unit 50.

[0084] 12, the display screen according to the first embodiment includes, for example, a "Reload" button, a "Reflect Update" button, and a "Refine" button. Below these buttons, for example, the display screen includes a "V Component Class Name" column, a "V Component Name" column, a "Select" column, and a "Key" column.

[0085] Here, the user can check the display items in the "Select" column and the "Key" column. As an example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the user checks a display item in the "Select" column on the screen, the control unit 10 transitions to a selection screen related to that item. For example, when the user checks the sixth display item from the top in the "Select" column, the control unit 10 highlights the words "Display Condition." This "Display Condition" corresponds to the "Display Condition" displayed to the left of it.

[0086] (Screen transition example 2 for gatherings) As another example of a screen transition related to a set, when a user presses the "Detailed Definition" button in the "Detailed Definition" column on the screen shown in Fig. 11, the screen transitions to a detailed definition screen related to the item. For example, when a user presses the "Detailed Definition" button on row 00008 of the "Detailed Definition" column in Fig. 11, the control unit 10 transitions the display screen to the screen shown in Fig. 13. Fig. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a set detailed definition screen according to the first embodiment.
