To have the computer perform the process. This is the structure it takes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] As described above, this disclosure enables improved work efficiency when multiple workers work together as a team. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0012] [Figure 1] This block diagram shows the overall configuration of the information sharing system in Embodiment 1 of this disclosure. [Figure 2] This is a block diagram showing the configuration of the user terminal disclosed in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 1 shows an example of the display screen of the user terminal disclosed. [Figure 4] Figure 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the user terminal. [Figure 5] This block diagram shows the hardware configuration of the information sharing system in Embodiment 2 of this disclosure. [Figure 6] This is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information sharing system in Embodiment 2 of this disclosure. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] <Embodiment 1> A first embodiment of this disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figures 1 to 3 are diagrams illustrating the configuration of the information sharing system, and Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating the processing operation of the information sharing system.

[0014] [Configuration] As shown in FIG. 1, in the information sharing system according to the present embodiment, a plurality of user terminals T1 and T2 are connected via a network N. Here, in the example of FIG. 1, it is assumed that the user terminal T1 is operated by the user U1, and the user terminal T2 is operated by the user U2. Although two user terminals T1 and T2 are illustrated in FIG. 1, more user terminals may be connected via the network N.

[0015] In the present embodiment, the users U1 and U2 are workers who operate the user terminals T1 and T2, respectively, to perform office work, and in particular, are in a situation where they work in a team. Therefore, the users U1 and U2 are associated so as to belong to the same team, and accordingly, the user terminals T1 and T2 are also associated with each other. For example, the identification information assigned to each of the users U1 and U2 is input to each of the user terminals T1 and T2, and the user terminals T1 and T2 are associated by associating such identification information. When more users belong to the same team, more user terminals are associated.

[0016] The user terminal T1 is configured by an information processing terminal including an arithmetic device and a storage device. In particular, in the present embodiment, the user terminal T1 is an information processing device such as a desktop or notebook personal computer operated by the user U1. However, the user terminal T1 may be configured by any information processing device.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal T1 includes a communication interface 10 and is connected to the network N. Thereby, the user terminal T1 can transmit and receive information to and from information processing devices such as other user terminals T2 and servers connected to the network N.

[0018] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the user terminal T1 is equipped with business applications for performing tasks such as a file server access application 11, an email application 12, a chat application 13, and a bulletin board application 14. The user terminal T1 is also equipped with AIs (Artificial Intelligences) 15 to 18 corresponding to each of the applications 11 to 14. In addition, the user terminal T1 is equipped with an integrated screen display application 19. The functions of the file server access application 11, email application 12, chat application 13, bulletin board application 14, each of the AIs 15 to 18, and the integrated screen display application 19 can be realized by the arithmetic unit executing programs for realizing each function stored in the memory.

[0019] As will be explained later, each of the above-mentioned applications 11-14 will operate by accessing server devices on network N, such as file servers, mail servers, chat servers, and bulletin board servers, but these server devices are not shown in Figure 1.

[0020] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, user terminal T2 includes a communication interface 20, a file server access application 21, an email application 22, a chat application 23, a bulletin board application 24, AIs 25-28, and an integrated screen display application 29. Since these configurations are almost identical to those of user terminal T1, the following will mainly describe the configuration of user terminal T1 in detail, and a detailed explanation of the configuration of user terminal T2 will be omitted.

[0021] The file server access application 11 has the function of accessing the file server via the communication interface 10. The file server access application 11 also has functions for folder operations (create, select, copy, move, search, delete) and file operations (save, select, copy, move, search, delete) when accessing the file server. Furthermore, as described later, the file server access application 11 also has the function of receiving screen display information that has been integrated and optimized by the integrated screen display application 19, and the function of displaying the received information on the screen of the file server access application 11.

[0022] The email application 12 has the function of accessing the mail server via the communication interface 10, and has the function of receiving emails stored on the mail server and creating and sending emails to the mail server. In addition, the email application 12 also has a function of searching for emails received in the email application and a function of attaching files to emails. Furthermore, as will be described later, the email application 12 has the function of receiving screen display information that has been integrated and optimized by the integrated screen display application 19, and the function of displaying the received information on the screen of the email application 12.

[0023] The chat application 13 has the function of accessing the chat server via the communication interface 10 and has the function of sending text messages to the server to communicate with others. In addition, depending on the situation, the chat application 13 also provides value-added functions such as voice communication and video communication in addition to text messages. Furthermore, as will be described later, the chat application 13 also has the function of receiving screen display information that has been integrated and optimized by the integrated screen display application 19, and the function of displaying the received information on the chat application screen.

[0024] The bulletin board application 14 has the function of accessing the bulletin board server via the communication interface 10 and the function of writing text messages to the bulletin board server as information. The written information is used for the purpose of sharing information within the same team. In addition, as will be described later, the bulletin board application 14 also has the function of receiving screen display information that has been integrated and optimized by the integrated screen display application 19, and the function of displaying the received information on the screen of the bulletin board application.

[0025] In addition to the business applications such as the file server access application 11 mentioned above, other business applications may also be installed on the user terminal T1.

[0026] AI15-18 are equipped in correspondence to each of the aforementioned business applications 11-14. Each AI15-18 has the function of monitoring and recording the actions (generation, editing, deletion, searching, and collection of information) when a user operates each business application 11-14 to access information, and the function of storing the results of statistical information analysis based on the records as information. The learning engine for the AI ​​used in this invention can be made possible by using, for example, an RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) that supports language analysis.

[0027] Thus, AI15-18 have the function of acquiring the actions performed and their analysis results in business applications 11-14 as work information representing the work performed in business applications 11-14. AI15-18 then have the function of transferring the acquired work information to the integrated screen display application 19, and further transferring it to the user terminal T2 of other users U2 belonging to the same team via the communication interface 10. Similarly, each AI25-28 on user terminal T2 has the function of acquiring work information representing the work performed in each business application 21-24 on user terminal T2. AI25-28 on user terminal T2 then have the function of transferring the acquired work information to the integrated screen display application 29, and further transferring it to the user terminal T1 of other users U1 belonging to the same team via the communication interface 20.

[0028] Here, we will further explain the specific functions of AI15~18 and 25~28. First, as an example, we will explain the function of AI15 that corresponds to the file server access application 11 on user terminal T1. When user U1 operates the file server access application 11 on user terminal T1 and accesses a file stored on the file server via the communication interface 10, AI15 monitors that the file server access application 11 has been operated and records the operation of the file server access application 11 as work information. For example, if user U1 opens a file in an arbitrary folder and edits the contents of the file, the work information would include: "folder name of the accessed folder," "folder location of the accessed file (folder hierarchy)," "file name of the accessed and opened file," "text information and word information of the page being viewed in the opened file," "text information and word information of the edited part of the opened file (information generated by a series of operations such as adding, deleting, and copying text)," "file name of the copied file," and "file name of the deleted file." Note that operations after accessing a file are not limited to the operations described above and include other different operations. Furthermore, AI15 refers to the various operations it has collected, analyzes which operations user U1 performed on which files in which folders, and records the analysis results as work information. AI15 then transfers the work information, consisting of the application operation records and analysis records described above, to the integrated screen display application 19, and also to other user terminals T2 via the communication interface 10.

[0029] As an example, let's describe the functions of AI26 that correspond to the email application 22 on user terminal T2. First, user U2 operates the email application 22 on user terminal T2, accesses the email server via the communication interface 20, and receives emails from the email server if there are emails addressed to the email application 22. After that, user U2 checks the contents of the email to see if it contains the information they want. At this time, AI26 monitors the operation of the email application 22 as a result of the series of operations by user U2 and records it as work information for the email application 26. For example, if user U2 opens an email in an arbitrary folder in the email application 22 and checks the contents of the email, the work information would include "folder name of the accessed email," "subject of the accessed email," "sender of the accessed email," "recipient of the accessed email," "name of the attachment file attached to the accessed email," and "text information and word information of the accessed email." Note that email operations are not limited to the operations described above and include other different operations. Furthermore, AI26 refers to the various operations it has collected, analyzes which emails in which email folders the user performed what operations on, and records the analysis results as work information. AI26 then transfers the work information, consisting of the application operation records and analysis records described above, to the integrated screen display application 29, and also to other user terminals T1 via the communication interface 20.

[0030] In addition, while the above describes AIs 15 and 26 which correspond to the file server access application 11 and the email application 22, AIs 17, 18, 27, and 28 which correspond to the chat applications 13 and 23 and the bulletin board applications 14 and 24 similarly acquire work information and transfer it to the integrated screen display applications 19 and 29 and other user terminals. For example, AIs 17 and 27 which correspond to the chat applications 13 and 23 acquire work information such as "the name of the person with whom the chat application was initiated," "the text information exchanged in the chat application," "the name of the file attached to the chat application," and "the text information of the opened attached file." Also, for example, AIs 18 and 28 which correspond to the bulletin board applications 14 and 24 acquire work information such as "the name of the person who recorded the viewed bulletin board information," "the text information of the viewed bulletin board," "the file name of the file attached to the bulletin board," and "the text information of the opened attached file."

[0031] Furthermore, the work information acquired by each AI is not limited to the information described above, but may also represent information describing the work content for any task in any business application.

[0032] As described above, the integrated screen display application 19 acquires and stores in its memory the work information transferred from each AI 15-18 of its own user terminal T1 and the work information transferred from each AI 25-28 of other user terminals T2. In other words, the integrated screen display application 29 functions as a means of acquiring work information executed by multiple types of business applications 11-14, 21-24 installed in each of the multiple user terminals T1 and T2 belonging to the same team.

[0033] Furthermore, the integrated screen display application 19 has a function (integration means) to integrate the work information of multiple user terminals T1, T2 and multiple types of business applications 11-14, 21-24 that it has acquired, based on the work content contained in such work information. At this time, the integrated screen display application 19 checks, for example, whether there are common elements in the work content contained in each piece of work information, and if there are common elements, it recognizes that these pieces of work information have commonalities in terms of work, and integrates these multiple pieces of work information together. As an example, if there are common elements in the work content, it means that the file names, email subjects, text information, word information, etc., contained in the work information as described above match. For example, as described above, if the file name of a file accessed on a file server contained in the work information acquired from the file server access application 11 matches the email subject of an email contained in the work information acquired from the email application 22, these pieces of work information are integrated. At this time, the integrated screen display application 19 processes and integrates this work information with commonalities so that it can be displayed together on a single screen.

[0034] Furthermore, the integrated screen display application 19 is not necessarily limited to integrating work information that has common elements in its work content. For example, the integrated screen display application 19 may check whether there is a pre-defined relationship between the work content contained in each piece of work information, and if there is a relationship, it may integrate these pieces of work information together. In this case, a relationship could be, for example, files that share a common parent folder or pre-associated word information, but any kind of relationship is acceptable.

[0035] Furthermore, the integrated screen display application 19 provides the integrated work information, as described above, to each of the business applications 11-14 on its own user terminal T1, and to each of the business applications 21-24 on other user terminals T2. In other words, the integrated screen display application 19 has a function (means of provision) to provide integrated work information to each of the business applications 11-14, 21-24 installed on each of the user terminals T1, T2 of each user U1, U2 belonging to the same team. At this time, the integrated screen display application 19 provides the integrated work information to be displayed on the execution screen of each of the business applications 11-14, 21-24. As a result, when each of the business applications 11-14, 21-24 is executed on each user terminal T1, T2, the integrated work information will be displayed on the execution screen.

[0036] Here, Figure 3 shows an example of the display of integrated work information. In Figure 3, user terminal T1 is shown the execution screen 11a of the file server access application 11 and the execution screen 12a of the email application 12, and user terminal T2 is shown the execution screen 22a of the email application 22. At this time, integrated information display units 19a and 29a are formed in a part of the execution screens 11a, 12a and 22a of each application, and the same integrated work information is displayed in these integrated information display units 19a and 29a. In this example, when user U1 on user terminal T1 is accessing a file on the file server, the work information of this user and the work information of other users B, C and D using business applications that have commonalities with the accessed file are integrated and displayed.

[0037] Furthermore, the AIs 15-18, 25-28 and integrated screen display applications 19, 29 of each user terminal T1, T2 described above are not necessarily limited to being installed on each user terminal T1, T2. For example, the AIs 15-18, 25-28 and integrated screen display applications 19, 29 may be installed on other information processing devices connected to each user terminal T1, T2 via the network N. In this case, the other information processing device may acquire work information from each business application 11-14, 21-24 from each user terminal T1, T2 via the network N, integrate this work information based on the work content, and then provide the integrated work information to each business application 11-14, 21-24 of each user terminal T1, T2 via the network N.

[0038] [Operation] Next, the operation of user terminals T1 and T2 described above will be explained, mainly with reference to the flowchart in Figure 4. Here, we assume that users U1 and U2, who operate user terminals T1 and T2, belong to the same team and are working together.

[0039] First, let's assume that user U1 operates the file server access application 11 on user terminal T1 and accesses files stored on the file server via the communication interface 10. Then, the AI ​​15 on user terminal T1 monitors that the file server access application 11 has been operated on and records the operation of the file server access application 11 as work information. The AI ​​15 also refers to the various operations that have been collected and analyzes which folders and files user U1 operated on and records this as work information. The AI ​​15 then transfers the work information, consisting of the application operation record and analysis record described above, to the integrated screen display application 19 and also to another user terminal T2 via the communication interface 10. As a result, the integrated screen display application 19 on user terminal T1 and the integrated screen display application 19 on the other user terminal T2 obtain the work information of the file server access application 11 on user terminal T1 (step S1).

[0040] Furthermore, as described above, when the work information of user terminal T1 is acquired, it is assumed that user U2 is operating the email application 22 on user terminal T2. Specifically, user terminal T2 accesses the email server via the communication interface 20, and if there are emails addressed to email application 22 stored there, it receives the emails from the email server. After that, user U2 checks the contents of the email to see if it contains the information they want. At this time, AI 26 monitors the operation of email application 22 due to a series of operations by user U2 and records it as work information for email application 26. AI 26 also refers to the various operations that have been collected and analyzes what operations the user performed on which emails in which email folders, and records this as work information. Then, AI 26 transfers the work information, consisting of the application operation records and analysis records described above, to the integrated screen display application 29 and also to other user terminals T1 via the communication interface 20. As a result, the integrated screen display application 29 on user terminal T2 and the integrated screen display application 19 on another user terminal T1 obtain the work information of the email application 22 on user terminal T2 (step S1).

[0041] Although I will omit the explanation here, the work information of other business applications executed on each user terminal T1 and T2 will also be acquired by the respective integrated screen display applications 19 and 29, as described above.

[0042] Next, the integrated screen display application 19 on user terminal T1 integrates the work information from its own user terminal T1's file server access application 11, the work information from the other user terminal T2's email application 22, and any work information from other applications if available (step S2). At this time, the integrated screen display application 19 checks for any common elements or relationships among the work content included in each piece of work information, and if there are relationships, it integrates these pieces of work information together.

[0043] Then, the integrated screen display application 19 provides the integrated work information, as described above, to each of the business applications 11-14 on its own user terminal T1, and to each of the business applications 21-24 on other user terminals T2 (step S3). As a result, when each of the business applications 11-14 and 21-24 is executed on each user terminal T1 or T2, the integrated work information is displayed on the execution screen (step S4). For example, as shown in Figure 3, integrated information display units 19a and 29a are formed on the execution screens 11a, 12a and 22a of each business application on each user terminal T1 or T2, and the common integrated work information is displayed on these integrated information display units 19a and 29a.

[0044] Similarly, the integrated screen display application 29 on user terminal T2 also integrates and provides the acquired work information (steps S2, S3). As a result, the work information integrated by the integrated screen display application 29 on user terminal T2 is displayed on the display screens of the respective business applications on user terminals T1 and T2 (step S4).

[0045] As described above, in this embodiment, the work information of each business application executed on user terminals T1 and T2 of users U1 and U2 belonging to the same team is integrated and displayed together based on the work content. In particular, in this embodiment, not only work information of the same business application but also work information of different types of business applications is integrated and displayed based on the work content, so that users can recognize the interrelated work information of all business applications of other users in the same team. Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the integrated work information is displayed on the execution screen of all business applications, the work information can be recognized in any situation. As a result, it becomes easier for users in the same team to share related work information, and work efficiency can be improved.

[0046] <Embodiment 2> Next, a second embodiment of this disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 6. Figures 5 to 6 are block diagrams showing the configuration of the information sharing system in Embodiment 2. In this embodiment, the configuration of user terminals T1 and T2 described in the above-described embodiment is shown in outline.

[0047] First, with reference to Figure 5, the hardware configuration of the information sharing system 100 in this embodiment will be described. The information sharing system 100 is composed of a general information processing device, and as an example, it is equipped with the following hardware configuration. ·CPU(Central Processing Unit)101(Arithmetic unit) ROM (Read Only Memory) 102 (Storage Device) • RAM (Random Access Memory) 103 (Storage Device) • Program group 104 loaded into RAM 103 • Storage device 105 for storing the program group 104 • Drive device 106 for reading and writing to external storage medium 110 of the information processing device. • Communication interface 107 connecting to a communication network 111 outside the information processing device. • Input / output interface 108 for data input and output. • Bus 109 connecting each component

[0048] Figure 5 shows an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device, which is the information sharing system 100, and the hardware configuration of the information processing device is not limited to the case described above. For example, the information processing device may consist of only a part of the configuration described above, such as not having a drive device 106. In addition, the information processing device may use a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), MPU (Micro Processing Unit), FPU (Floating point number Processing Unit), PPU (Physics Processing Unit), TPU (Tensor Processing Unit), quantum processor, microcontroller, or a combination thereof instead of the CPU described above.

[0049] The information sharing system 100 can be equipped with the acquisition means 121, integration means 122, and provision means 123 shown in Figure 6 by having the CPU 101 acquire the program group 104 and execute it. The program group 104 is, for example, stored in advance in a storage device 105 or ROM 102, and the CPU 101 loads it into RAM 103 and executes it as needed. The program group 104 may also be supplied to the CPU 101 via a communication network 111, or it may be stored in advance in a storage medium 110, and the drive device 106 reads the program and supplies it to the CPU 101. However, the acquisition means 121, integration means 122, and provision means 123 described above may be constructed with dedicated electronic circuits for realizing such means.

[0050] The acquisition means 121 acquires work information representing the work performed by applications installed on each of the multiple information processing terminals from a plurality of pre-associated information processing terminals. In this case, the acquisition means 121 may acquire work information representing the work performed by multiple types of applications from the plurality of information processing terminals. The work information may include, for example, the name of the target, such as an accessed file, and document information.

[0051] The integration means 122 integrates work information based on the work content represented by each of the multiple work information pieces. For example, the integration means 122 integrates work information when the work content is common or otherwise related.

[0052] The above-described providing means 123 provides the integrated work information to be displayed on each of the multiple information processing terminals. For example, the providing means 123 provides the integrated work information to be displayed on the display screen of each application on each information processing terminal.

[0053] As described above, this disclosure enables the integration of work information from each user for each application based on the content of the work, and this integrated work information is shared among users. Therefore, users can recognize work information for each user's applications that are related to their work. As a result, users can easily share useful work information, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0054] The programs described above can be stored and supplied to a computer using various types of non-transitory computer-readable media. Non-transitory computer-readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R / Ws, and semiconductor memory (e.g., mask ROMs, PROMs (Programmable ROMs), EPROMs (Erasable PROMs), flash ROMs, and RAMs (Random Access Memory)). Programs may also be supplied to a computer using various types of transient computer-readable media. Examples of transient computer-readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. Transitory computer-readable media can be supplied to a computer via wired communication channels such as electric wires and optical fibers, or via wireless communication channels.
