Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] The file storage system of the present invention includes a user terminal and a server, and a predetermined output driver is installed in advance in the user terminal. When data is selected and displayed on the user terminal and a predetermined output driver is selected in printer selection on the user terminal, and there is an output operation, the predetermined output driver outputs the selected and displayed data from the user terminal to the server, and the server stores the data output by the predetermined output driver as a file. As long as the user can easily upload the data to the server as a file, the specific implementation mode can be any one. Furthermore, the program for the file saving system of the present invention comprises an output operation determination step that determines whether a predetermined output driver, which is pre-installed in the printer selection on the user terminal, has been selected and whether an output operation has been performed when data has been selected and displayed on the user terminal; an output step in which, when an output operation has been performed, the predetermined output driver outputs the selected and displayed data from the user terminal to the server; and a saving step in which the server saves the data output by the predetermined output driver as a file. As long as the user can easily upload data to the server as a file, the specific embodiment of the system may be any.

[0019] For example, a user terminal can be any device that has a display unit and an operating unit and transmits and receives data, such as a desktop personal computer terminal, a notebook personal computer terminal, a smartphone terminal, a tablet terminal, a smartwatch terminal, or a glasses terminal, as long as it can connect to a server via a communication network including a wide area network (such as the Internet), a local network, or a telephone line. Furthermore, the server may be a cloud server created in a cloud environment, and the number of physical servers that make up the server may be one or more. Furthermore, "data" refers to displayable data such as documents and images. Furthermore, a file is simply something that has been given a name, and refers to data files such as documents and images. [Examples]

[0020] Below, an embodiment of the present invention, a file storage system 100, will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. Here, Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the concept of a file storage system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a chart showing an example of the operation of the file storage system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 3 is a diagram showing that data DT is selected and displayed on the user terminal 110 of the file storage system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, and that a predetermined output driver that has been pre-installed is selected in the printer selection; Figure 4 is a diagram showing examples of the transportation expense application screen 113 and the imported file list screen 114 displayed on the user terminal 110 of the file storage system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 5 is a diagram showing examples of the transportation expense application screen 113 and the IC card usage history window 115 displayed on the user terminal 110 of the file storage system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

[0021] As shown in Figure 1, a file storage system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, comprises a user terminal 110, a server 120, and, as an example, a scanner 130. The server 120 is configured to save the file FL to its database. Specifically, the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is the designated output driver, is pre-installed on the user terminal 110.

[0022] Furthermore, when data DT is selected and displayed on the user terminal 110, the "Import for Cloud" DV is selected as the predetermined output driver in the printer selection on the user terminal 110. The data DT displayed on the user terminal 110 may be data DT stored on the user terminal 110, or data read by the scanner 130.

[0023] Then, when an output operation is performed on the user terminal 110, the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is a predetermined output driver, outputs the selected and displayed data DT from the user terminal 110 to the server 120. The server 120 is configured to save the data DT output by the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is a predetermined output driver, as a file FL in the database.

[0024] As a result, the user simply selects the "Import for Cloud" DV as the designated output driver and performs the output operation, and the data DT selected and displayed on the user terminal 110 is output to the server 120 by the "Import for Cloud" DV as the designated output driver and saved as a file FL on the server 120. As a result, users can easily upload data DT as file FL to server 120.

[0025] Furthermore, the save location for the file FL on server 120 using "Import for Cloud" DV is configured to be automatically set for each user by installing "Import for Cloud" DV on the user terminal 110. Alternatively, the administrator of the file storage system 100 may configure it to set the save location for each user's file FL.

[0026] Next, we will provide a more detailed explanation of how the file storage system 100 works. As shown in Figure 2, in step S1, three conditions are determined as an output operation determination step. Specifically, firstly, it is determined whether or not data DT is selected and displayed on the user terminal 110. For example, as shown in Figure 3, it is sufficient that the browser 111 on the user terminal 110 is displaying some data DT and that the browser 111 is active.

[0027] Next, as the second step, it is determined whether the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is a pre-installed output driver, is selected in the printer selection on the user terminal 110. For example, as shown in Figure 3, the browser 111 is active when the print settings window 112 is opened, and the printer selection field 112a in the print settings window 112 should be set to "Import for Cloud" DV as the predetermined output driver.

[0028] Furthermore, thirdly, the user terminal 110 determines whether or not the "print" button 112c was pressed as an output operation. For example, as shown in Figure 3, all that is needed is to operate the "Print" button 112c provided in the print settings window 112. If the user terminal 110 determines that all three conditions are met, the process proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, if it determines that even one of the conditions is not met, the process is repeated in step S1.

[0029] In step S2, as an output step, the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is a predetermined output driver, outputs the data DT selected and displayed in the browser 111 from the user terminal 110 to the server 120. In step S3, as a saving step, the server 120 saves the data DT output by the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is a predetermined output driver, as a file FL in the database.

[0030] As described above, simply by the user selecting the "Import for Cloud" DV as the designated output driver and performing the output operation, the data DT selected and displayed on the user terminal 110 is output to the server 120 by the "Import for Cloud" DV as the designated output driver and saved as a file FL on the server 120. As a result, users can easily upload data DT as file FL to server 120.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 3, the "Import for Cloud" DV, which is a predetermined output driver, allows for flexible page selection. More specifically, the page selection field 112b is displayed when "Import for Cloud" DV is selected as the predetermined output driver in the printer selection field 112a of the print settings window 112.

[0032] Then, by entering the desired page in the page selection field 112b and operating the "Print" button 112c, the "Import for Cloud" DV, acting as a predetermined output driver, is configured to output only the data DT of the selected and specified pages to the server 120. As a result, only the selected and specified pages from the multi-page data DT are output to the database on server 120. As a result, users can select and specify only the necessary pages and upload them to server 120 as a file FL.

[0033] Furthermore, when "Import for Cloud" DV is selected as the designated output driver, the print settings window 112 includes fields for selecting the color mode and the output file format. In the color mode selection section, selecting gray will output in grayscale, resulting in a smaller data size compared to full color, thus reducing the file size of the FL file. Furthermore, in the output file format selection section, you can choose from options such as PDF, JPEG, and TIFF depending on your needs.

[0034] In this embodiment, the data DT displayed on the user terminal 110 is the data DT read by the scanner 130, which is capable of communicating with the user terminal 110. In other words, when the print settings window 112 is opened, "Import for Cloud" DV is selected as the designated output driver in the printer selection field 112a, and the "Print" button 112c is pressed, the data DT displayed by the browser 111 on the user terminal 110 is the data read by the scanner 130. In other words, when a document or other data is read by the scanner 130, it is displayed as data DT in the browser 111 of the user terminal 110, and is configured to be output to the server 120 via "Import for Cloud" DV based on the operation of the "Print" button 112c.

[0035] As a result, the data DT that has just been scanned by the scanner 130 is displayed on the user terminal 110. As a result, users can view and review the scanned multi-page data DT, select and specify only the necessary pages, and upload them to server 120 as a file FL.

[0036] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, when the user logs in, the browser 111 of the user terminal 110 displays the travel expense application screen 113 as an example of a workflow screen. The travel expense application screen 113 has a button 113a that says "Open import function screen". When the "Open Import Function Screen" button 113a is pressed as a prescribed operation, the Import File List screen 114 is displayed as a list screen of the FL files stored on the server 120. The imported file list screen 114 includes fields for the import date and time of the file FL, file name, status, and preview.

[0037] Furthermore, a checkbox 114a is provided that can be freely selected for each FL file. In the file selection operation on the imported file list screen 114, when the checkbox 114a is checked and the "Set" button 114b is pressed, the selected file FL is attached to the travel expense application screen 113. More specifically, the file name information of the selected file FL is displayed in the attachment field 113b provided on the travel expense application screen 113.

[0038] As a result, in the travel expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen, the file FL uploaded by scanning or other means through a prescribed operation is displayed in list format on the imported file list screen 114, and when the desired file FL is selected from the list, the selected file FL is attached to the travel expense application screen 113. As a result, users can easily use the FL files they scan and upload in their workflow.

[0039] Furthermore, when the selected file FL is attached to the travel expense application screen 113, the system may be configured so that the text and numerical information of the document in file FL is read by image / character recognition means, converted into text, and entered into the input field 113d of the travel expense application screen 113. As a result, when the user selects the file FL, it is attached to the travel expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen, and information such as the amount is entered as text data into the input field 113d. As a result, users can easily submit their application by simply selecting the file FL to attach in the travel expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen, and filling in the input field 113d of the travel expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen.

[0040] Furthermore, if file FL is a receipt or invoice and contains a phone number, the phone number information may be read by image / character recognition and converted into text, and based on the phone number information, the information of the store where the purchase was made may be picked up and entered into the input field 113d of the transportation expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen. As a result, when the user selects the file FL, it is attached to the travel expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen, and the purchase store information is entered as text data into the input field 113d. As a result, users can easily submit their applications by simply selecting the file FL to attach in the travel expense application screen 113, which is an example of a workflow screen, and then filling in the payee information in the input field 113d of the travel expense application screen 113.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, when a pre-registered user uses the scanner 130, the user holds their own IC card CD over the card reader unit 131 of the scanner 130. This will then authenticate your login instead of requiring you to enter your username and password. Furthermore, the system is designed so that the user can scan documents using the scanner 130 and select a job from a menu displayed on the display unit, which also serves as the card reader 131.

[0042] Because each user has different access and other permissions, this job has different settings for each user. Furthermore, if transportation expenses were paid using an IC card CD, the usage history information LG stored on the IC card CD is read by the card reader unit 131 of the scanner 130. The read usage history information LG is then registered in the server 120's database for each user.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the transportation expense application screen 113 is provided with a "Open IC card transportation expense acquisition screen" button 113c. When the "Open IC card transportation fare acquisition screen" button 113c is pressed, the browser 111 displays the IC card usage history window 115, which contains a list of usage history information LG based on the database. Furthermore, when a user selects a usage history information LG in the IC card usage history window 115, the selected usage history information LG is entered into the input field 113d of the transportation expense application screen 113. As a result, in the so-called workflow travel expense application screen 113, simply by operating the "Open IC card travel expense acquisition screen" button 113c as an example of a prescribed operation, the IC card usage history window 115 will be displayed, and by simply selecting the desired usage history information LG from there, the selected usage history information LG will be entered into the travel expense application screen 113. As a result, users do not need to manually enter information such as the date of use, the name of the transportation used, the route taken, and the amount spent in their usage history, thus avoiding input errors and enabling them to submit accurate applications.

[0044] More specifically, in the IC card usage history window 115, a checkbox 115a is provided for each usage history information LG. By clicking checkbox 115a with the mouse, the checkbox 115a will be checked, and its usage history information LG will be selected. Additionally, there are "Set" button 115b, "Process and Set" button 115c, a selection box 115d for "Show only transportation expenses," and a selection box 115e for "Hide processed data."

[0045] When the "Set" button 115b is pressed, the usage history information LG selected in the IC card usage history window 115 is entered into the input field 113d of the transportation expense application screen 113. Furthermore, when the "Processed and Set" button 115c is operated, the usage history information LG selected in the IC card usage history window 115 is entered into the input field 113d of the transportation expense application screen 113, and a processed mark 115f is displayed in the status field.

[0046] Furthermore, if the user checks the "Show only transportation expenses" selection box 115d, the display will switch to showing only transportation expenses from among the various types of usage history information LG. Furthermore, when the user checks the "Hide processed data" selection box 115e, the IC card usage history window 115 hides the usage history information LG that has been selected and entered into the input field 113d of the transportation expense application screen 113, and switches to displaying only the usage history information LG that has not yet been entered into the input field 113d of the transportation expense application screen 113.

[0047] The file storage system 100, an embodiment of the present invention obtained in this manner, comprises a user terminal 110 and a server 120. The user terminal 110 has a predetermined output driver, "Import for Cloud" DV, pre-installed. When data DT is selected and displayed on the user terminal 110, and the predetermined output driver "Import for Cloud" DV is selected in the printer selection on the user terminal 110, and the "Print" button 112c is pressed as an output operation, the predetermined output driver "Import for Cloud" DV outputs the selected and displayed data DT from the user terminal 110 to the server 120, and the server 120 saves the data DT output by the predetermined output driver "Import for Cloud" DV as a file FL. As a result, the user can easily upload data DT as a file FL to the server 120.

[0048] Furthermore, the designated output driver, "Import for Cloud" DV, allows for flexible page selection and outputs only the data DT of the selected and specified pages to the server 120. This enables users to select and specify only the necessary pages and upload them to the server 120 as files FL.

[0049] Furthermore, since the data DT displayed on the user terminal 110 is data DT read by the scanner 130 which can communicate with the user terminal 110, the user can view and check the scanned multi-page data DT, select and specify only the necessary pages, and upload them to the server 120 as a file FL.

[0050] Furthermore, the user terminal 110 displays a travel expense application screen 113 as an example of a workflow screen. When the user performs the operation of the "Open Import Function Screen" button 113a as a predetermined operation on the travel expense application screen 113, the import file list screen 114, which is a list screen of files FL stored on the server 120, is displayed. When the user performs the operation of checking the checkbox 114a and the "Set" button 114b as file selection operations on the import file list screen 114, the selected file FL is attached to the travel expense application screen 113. This configuration allows the user to easily use files FL that they have scanned and uploaded in the workflow.

[0051] Furthermore, the program of the file saving system 100, which is an embodiment of the present invention, includes an output operation determination step S1 which determines whether, when data DT is selected and displayed on the user terminal 110, a predetermined output driver, "Import for Cloud" DV, which is pre-installed, was selected in the printer selection on the user terminal 110, and whether the "Print" button 112c was operated as an output operation; an output step S2 in which, when the "Print" button 112c was operated as an output operation, the predetermined output driver, "Import for Cloud" DV, outputs the selected and displayed data DT from the user terminal 110 to the server 120; and a saving step S3 in which the server 120 saves the data DT output by the predetermined output driver, "Import for Cloud" DV, as a file FL.
