Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] By the way, among the documents related to construction, there are some that cannot reflect the contents of the original documents as they are, but in Patent Document 1, it is not considered to automatically create those documents accurately.
[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above - described conventional technology, and an object thereof is to provide a document creation support system that can more easily and efficiently create documents using form information.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is a document creation support system for supporting the creation of documents at a construction site, The document creation support system includes a database, a reception unit, an extraction unit, and a registration processing unit. The aforementioned database stores business site information with multiple construction sites, document information related to documents linked to said business site information, item correspondence information, and document format information with multiple document formats. The reception unit receives request information including the construction site related to the user and the documents that the user wishes to create. The extraction unit extracts a document format and the corresponding forms for the construction site based on the request information, the business site information, and the document format information. The registration processing unit processes the extracted items of the form based on the item correspondence information, and registers the numerical and / or character values of the items that have been processed into corresponding fields in the document format.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a document creation support method implemented by a document creation support system that assists in the creation of documents at construction sites, A step of storing business site information that has multiple construction sites, document information related to documents linked to said business site information, item correspondence information, and document format information that constitutes the document format, A step of receiving request information including the construction site related to the user and the documents that the user wishes to create, Based on the aforementioned request information, the aforementioned business site information, and the aforementioned document format information, a step of extracting a document format having multiple document formats and the aforementioned forms of the construction site corresponding to the said document format, The process comprises the steps of: applying a correspondence between the extracted items of the form and the items of the document based on the item correspondence information; and registering the numerical and / or character values of the items that have been processed accordingly into the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention is a document creation support program that assists in the creation of documents at construction sites, The computer will function as a database, a reception unit, an extraction unit, and a registration processing unit. The aforementioned database stores business site information for multiple construction sites, document information related to documents associated with said business site information, item correspondence information, and document format information. The reception unit receives request information including the construction site related to the user and the documents that the user wishes to create. The extraction unit extracts a document format and the corresponding forms for the construction site based on the request information, the business site information, and the document format information. The registration processing unit processes the extracted items of the form based on the item correspondence information, and registers the numerical and / or character values of the items that have been processed into corresponding fields in the document format.
[0010] This configuration allows documents to be created without having to manually collect and input data from a vast amount of forms. For example, an item registered as "concrete fragments" on a form can be mapped to "concrete chunks" in the document, and the numerical value and / or text of the item can be registered in the corresponding field in the document format.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the document creation support system further comprises a document creation unit, The aforementioned item correspondence information is information that associates each of the following items: the unique items defined by the user, the items in the form, and the items in the document. The document creation unit processes the unique items to correspond to the items in the document based on the item correspondence information and the business site information, and creates the document.
[0012] This configuration allows users to create forms using items they define freely. For example, for the item "concrete fragments" in a form, the form can be created based on item correspondence information where the user has defined a unique item such as "concrete rubble," along with the business site information. Therefore, documents can be created more easily.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the workplace information further has a construction period, Based on the construction period, the extraction unit extracts the form information of the construction site corresponding to the document format, Based on the item correspondence information, the registration processing unit performs corresponding processing on the items of the extracted form with the items of the document, and totals and registers the numerical values of the corresponding items in the corresponding items of the document format.
[0014] With such a configuration, it is possible to create a document by totaling the forms created during a specific construction period.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the database further stores a hierarchical structure indicating the subordinate relationships of a plurality of jurisdictional organizations associated with user information, The reception unit receives the request information including the hierarchical structure to which the user belongs, Based on the request information, the extraction unit further extracts the form information of the construction site corresponding to the document format.
[0016] [[ID=1९]] With such a configuration, it is possible to create a document based on the forms of the jurisdictional organizations subordinate in the hierarchical structure.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the registration processing unit performs corresponding processing on a plurality of items of the extracted form with one item of the document based on the item correspondence information, and totals and registers the numerical values of the corresponding items in the corresponding items of the document format.
[0018] With such a configuration, it is possible to create a document by associating a plurality of items with one item. For example, in a form, items such as "metal scraps", "iron scraps", and "non-ferrous metal scraps" are associated with one item of "metal scraps", and the numerical values of the forms of each item are totaled to create a document.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the workplace information includes construction items related to a plurality of construction works. Based on the workplace information, the registration processing unit registers the construction items described in the document in predetermined items of the document format.
[0020] With such a configuration, information on construction works that is not included in the form can be registered in the document. For example, the site name, workplace address, construction period, etc. included in the workplace information can be registered.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the database further stores a unit conversion table. Based on the unit conversion table, the registration processing unit calculates the numerical values of the items that need to be converted to the units specified in the document among the processed items.
[0022] With such a configuration, even for items that need to be converted to the units specified in the document when using a predetermined form, the user can easily register them in the document without much effort.
[0023] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the database further stores vehicle information and greenhouse gas emission coefficients. The form information includes transportation information. Based on the vehicle information, the transportation information, and the greenhouse gas emission coefficients, the conversion unit calculates the greenhouse gas emission amount.
[0024] With such a configuration, it is possible to calculate the CO2 emission amount related to transportation generated during construction by using the information in the document.
Effects of the Invention
[0025] According to the present invention, by executing predetermined processing using a form created at a construction site, a novel technology related to a document creation support system can be provided.

[0027] Further details will be described below with reference to the attached drawings. The drawings show preferred embodiments. However, it is possible to carry out the invention in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.
[0028] For example, in this embodiment, the configuration and operation of the document creation support system will be described, but similar effects can be achieved by the execution method (steps), apparatus, computer program, etc. The program in this embodiment may be provided as a non-transient recording medium that can be read by a computer, or it may be provided so that it can be downloaded from an external server.
[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, "part" may also include, for example, a combination of hardware resources implemented by circuits in a broad sense and software information processing that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources.
[0030] In this embodiment, "information" can be represented, for example, by the physical value of a signal that carries voltage or current, the high or low value of a signal as a set of binary bits consisting of 0s or 1s, or by a quantum superposition (so-called qubit), and communication and calculations can be performed on a circuit in a broad sense.
[0031] In a broad sense, a circuit is a circuit realized by appropriately combining circuits, circuits (including processors and memory). That is, it includes CPUs (Central Processing Units), GPUs (Graphics Processing Units), LSIs (Large Scale Integration), ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits), FPGAs (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays), etc.
[0032] <System Configuration> Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the system configuration according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the document creation support system 1 includes an information processing device 10 and a database DB. The document creation support system 1 is configured to communicate with multiple worker terminals 2 (reference numerals 2(a) to 2(c) in Figure 1) and administrator terminals 3 (reference numerals 3(a) to 3(c) in Figure 1) via a network NW. In this specification, the worker terminals 2 and administrator terminals 3 are sometimes collectively referred to as user terminals. Although not shown in Figure 1, user terminals can also communicate with a predetermined organization via the information processing device 10 and exchange documents, etc.
[0033] In this embodiment, the network is an IP (Internet Protocol) network, but there are no restrictions on the type of communication protocol, nor on the type or size of the network.
[0034] Furthermore, a general-purpose server computer or personal computer can be used as the information processing device 10. It is also possible to implement the functional components described later on multiple computers to configure the document creation support system 1.
[0035] User terminals are devices used by workers at construction sites, general contractors (and their management personnel) who manage the construction sites, etc. Smartphones, tablets, personal computers, wearable devices, etc., can be used as user terminals. The user terminal stores a document creation support program for the user, and this program is configured to have functions that assist the user in creating documents.
[0036] The user terminal can also be configured without a document creation support application. In this case, the user terminal can view and transmit information using a web browser or similar (or through data acquisition from the information processing device 10).
[0037] <Hardware Configuration> Figure 2(a) shows an example of the hardware configuration of the information processing device 10. The information processing device 10 comprises a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13 as its hardware configuration.
[0038] The control unit 11 is an HDD, SSD, ROM, RAM, etc., which records the document creation support program according to the present invention and data used by the control unit 11 when it executes processing based on the program. The control unit 11 executes processing based on the document creation support program recorded in the storage unit 12, thereby realizing the functional configuration described later.
[0039] The communication unit 23 performs communication control with the network NW and provides inputs necessary for operating the information processing device 10, as well as outputs related to the operation results.
[0040] Figure 2(b) shows an example of the hardware configuration of terminal 2 (the user terminal in Figure 1). Terminal 2 comprises a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication unit 23, an input unit 24, and an output unit 25 as its hardware configuration.
[0041] The control unit 21 of terminal 2 includes one or more processors such as a CPU and controls the entire operation of terminal 2. The storage unit 22 of terminal 2 is an HDD, SSD, ROM, RAM, etc., and stores the document creation support application program mentioned above, as well as data used by the control unit 21 when executing processing based on the program.
[0042] The communication unit 23 of terminal 2 controls communication with the network NW. The input unit 24 of terminal 2 is a touch panel, mouse, keyboard, etc., which inputs user operation requests to the control unit 21. The output unit 25 of terminal 2 is a display, etc., which displays the results of processing by the control unit 21.
[0043] <Functional Configuration> As shown in Figure 2(a), the information processing device 10 comprises, as a functional configuration, a reception unit 101, a report creation unit 102, an extraction unit 103, a registration processing unit 104, a display processing unit 105, and a calculation unit 106. These are the concrete realizations of information processing performed by software (recorded in the storage unit 12) by hardware (control unit 11, etc.).
[0044] The reception unit 101 receives various information from user terminals and the like. The reception unit 101 receives requested information. In this embodiment, the reception unit 101 receives information about the construction site related to the user, the documents the user wishes to create, and the hierarchical structure to which the user belongs.
[0045] The report creation unit 102 creates a report. In this embodiment, the report creation unit 102 processes the unique items to correspond to report items based on item correspondence information and business site information, and creates a report. Here, correspondence processing refers to the process of corresponding numerical values and characters related to one item to another item. For example, if the unique item has items such as shipment volume and address, the report creation unit 102 corresponds the shipment volume and address items linked to the unique item to the report items identified by the item correspondence information.
[0046] The extraction unit 103 extracts the forms stored in the storage unit 12. In this embodiment, the extraction unit 103 extracts the forms stored in the storage unit 12 based on the request information, the business location information, and the document format information.
[0047] Furthermore, the extraction unit 103 extracts document information for construction sites that corresponds to the document format based on the construction period. For example, if the construction period for a certain construction site is from August 1, 2025 to November 1, 2025, the extraction unit 103 extracts documents registered within the relevant construction period from the document information for that construction site stored in the storage unit 12. In addition, the extraction unit 103 may extract documents based on the service period of the business establishment registered in the business establishment information.
[0048] Furthermore, the extraction unit 103 extracts construction site forms corresponding to the document format based on the request information, which includes the hierarchical structure to which the user belongs. As will be described in detail later, as shown in Figure 4(c), the extraction unit 103 extracts forms for the governing organization to which the user belongs and the governing organizations under that governing organization, based on the hierarchical structure information stored in the storage unit 12.
[0049] The registration processing unit 104 performs registration processing on the document. In this embodiment, the registration processing unit 104 processes the extracted form items based on the item correspondence information, and registers the numerical values and / or characters of the corresponding items in the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0050] Furthermore, the registration processing unit 104 processes the extracted form items based on the item correspondence information, assigns them to the document items, and then aggregates and registers the numerical values of the processed items into the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0051] Furthermore, the registration processing unit 104 processes multiple items from the extracted forms based on the item correspondence information, assigns them to a single item in the document, and then aggregates and registers the numerical values and / or characters of the corresponding items in the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0052] Furthermore, the registration processing unit 104 calculates the numerical values of the items that need to be converted to the units specified by the document from among the items that have been processed, based on the unit conversion table stored in the storage unit 12, and registers them in the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0053] The display processing unit 105 processes the display screen of the user terminal, etc. In this embodiment, the display processing unit 105 processes the document format in which the registration processing unit 104 has registered the contents of the items, and transmits the processing result.
[0054] The calculation unit 106 calculates greenhouse gas emissions. In this embodiment, the calculation unit 106 calculates greenhouse gas emissions based on the vehicle information and greenhouse gas emission coefficients stored in the storage unit 12 and the transportation information included in the report information.
[0055] <database DB> The database DB in Figure 1 stores user information such as management personnel and on-site personnel of the general contractor for construction, a hierarchical structure showing the subordinate relationships of multiple governing organizations linked to the user information, business site information with multiple construction projects, document information related to documents linked to the business site information, item correspondence information, document format information, unit conversion tables, vehicle information, and greenhouse gas emission coefficients. Some or all of these may be stored in the storage unit 12, etc., or some of these may be stored in another database, etc. Similarly, some or all of the data stored in the storage unit 12 of the user terminal may be stored in the document creation support system 1, one or more devices configured to communicate with the user terminal.
[0056] The following explanation of the document creation support system 1 and the processing performed by each functional component will be given with reference to Figures 3 to 10.
[0057] <Overview of the Document Creation Support System> The document creation support system 1 in this embodiment is a system that assists users involved in construction management in easily creating documents required in various situations.
[0058] For example, construction sites where buildings are demolished or otherwise constructed generate industrial waste. In this case, the construction management company may be obligated to issue an industrial waste manifest to the waste generator. On the other hand, when carrying out construction at a certain business site, the construction management company may be required to submit documents such as the "Recycling Resource Utilization Promotion Implementation Document" stipulated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to a designated institution. While this document contains items related to the contents of the manifest, the items differ from those of the manifest, and the number of manifests can be enormous depending on the construction project, which traditionally meant that this process was time-consuming.
[0059] To address the challenges of creating other documents using documents and forms generated at construction sites, the present invention adopts the following configuration. Specifically, the document creation support system 1 according to this embodiment stores the created forms as form information, processes the form items to correspond to the document items, and registers the processed items into corresponding fields in the document format. The processing flow in the document creation support system 1 according to this embodiment will be described in detail below.
[0060] <Register various types of information> Figure 3 shows a flowchart of the processing procedure in a document creation support system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. S301 to S305 are flowcharts of document creation in the document creation support system 1. First, in S301, a user belonging to construction management registers user information in advance. In addition, the user (or the person in charge of the document creation support system 1) also registers company information related to the construction management company to which the user belongs in advance. The storage unit 12 of the information processing device 10 stores various information used for document creation.
[0061] In this embodiment, the users include not only the management personnel of the construction management company, but also, for example, on-site personnel and workers of subcontractors at the construction site (people involved in the construction work). The personnel (management personnel) of the construction management company may belong to the head office, or to a branch office, department, or business site.
[0062] As shown in Figure 4(a), user information is managed by a user ID, including information such as the user's name, contact information, company ID, hierarchical structure ID, and registration date. Similarly, as shown in Figure 4(b), company information is managed by a company ID, including information such as the company name, company contact information, company address, and type of company (e.g., prime contractor or subcontractor). In this embodiment, users can view documents based on user information, company information, etc. For example, the scope of document creation and the scope of document viewing may be restricted based on attributes such as the scope to which the hierarchical structure belongs, or the user's position and assigned duties.
[0063] In the document creation support system 1 of this embodiment, in addition to user information and company information, information regarding the hierarchical structure showing the subordinate relationships of multiple governing organizations within the company (governing organization information), business site information related to construction sites, item correspondence information, unit conversion tables related to unit conversion, vehicle type information, vehicle information, and greenhouse gas emission coefficients related to greenhouse gas emission calculation are registered in advance. This information may be registered later as appropriate.
[0064] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of the hierarchical structure of the governing organization used in the document creation support system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the hierarchical structure information indicates the subordinate relationships of the governing organizations that oversee the construction, such as Branch A and Branch B linked to the head office, Business site 1 and Business site 2 linked to Branch A, BA department and BB division linked to Branch B, Business site 3 and Business site 4 linked to BA division, and Business site 5 linked to BB division.
[0065] In this specification, the term "location" may be used in a broad sense to refer to multiple bases such as the head office, branches, and business sites. Business sites include factories, offices, stores, and construction sites handled by prime contractors. For example, this also includes specific construction sites that are not linked to the head office or branches.
[0066] As shown in Figure 4(c), the hierarchical structure information is managed by a hierarchical structure ID, and includes the company ID, the governing organization, and other information necessary to represent the hierarchical structure within the company. For example, the hierarchical structure information can also be constructed using the construction management system at a construction site. More specifically, the hierarchical structure information can be constructed using the hierarchical structure of the construction management companies included in the construction management system. In this embodiment, this hierarchical structure information can be used to view, extract, and create documents from multiple locations with specific subordinate relationships selected by the user.
[0067] Furthermore, as shown in Business Establishment 1 and Business Establishment 2 in Figure 5, a business establishment may belong to a branch without going through a department, and there may be a new hierarchical organizational structure between the branch and the department. Moreover, although the hierarchical structure shown in Figures 4(c) and 5 has "business establishment" at the lowest level, there may be even lower levels. For example, a business establishment may be divided into a general business establishment and a waste-emitting business establishment, and multiple waste-emitting business establishments may belong to a single general business establishment. In this case, a "general business establishment" may be linked under a "○○ department," and multiple "waste-emitting business establishments" may be linked to that "general business establishment."
[0068] <Definition of proprietary items> In S302, the reception unit 101 of the information processing device 10 defines (registers) custom items in association with form items. Figure 6(a) shows an example of a form item, and Figure 6(b) shows an example of a custom item. Form items and custom items are managed by form item codes and custom item codes, respectively. The reception unit 101 receives input of a custom item from the user, associates it with the form item code of the corresponding form item, and stores it in the storage unit 12 as item correspondence information.
[0069] Here, in this specification, "document item" refers to the name of a predetermined item used in a document, while "custom item" refers to the name of an item that a user or governing organization can freely set for a document item when creating a document. For example, while document items are uniformly defined through government agencies, custom items may be defined individually by users, hierarchical structures, companies, etc.
[0070] For example, for the document item code 1500000, which is "debris" in the document items, a custom item called "other debris" is defined. Then, a custom item code 5000001 is assigned to the defined custom item and stored in the storage unit 12 as item correspondence information.
[0071] As described above, custom items can be defined for each form item, and there may be multiple custom items defined for a single form item. For example, if items corresponding to the "debris" item on a form are managed separately as "other debris" and "large debris" at a construction site, then "other debris" and "large debris" can be defined as custom items for each form item code 1500000, which is the form item "debris." Custom item code 5000001 can be assigned to "other debris" and custom item code 5000002 to "large debris," and these can be stored in the storage unit 12 as item correspondence information.
[0072] Furthermore, the item correspondence information shown in Figure 6(d) also includes correspondences for document items. As will be explained in more detail later, this enables consistent correspondence processing from custom items to document items.
[0073] <Creating Forms> In S305 of Figure 3, the document creation unit 102 creates a document based on item correspondence information and business site information, and stores it in the storage unit 12. In this embodiment, the document creation unit 102 receives the business site for which the document is to be created from the business site information from the user terminal, and accepts input of the information necessary for the document. Then, based on the item correspondence information, it processes the unique items to correspond to the document items and creates the document. The created document is managed as document information by a document ID and stored in the storage unit 12.
[0074] Figure 6(e) shows the site information related to the construction. The site information manages the site name (construction name), the hierarchical structure ID of the organization that oversees the site, the address of the site (construction site), the construction period, etc., using a construction ID.
[0075] Furthermore, the site information may also have a "service period" separate from the construction period, which is the period during which the business operator or manager uses the document creation support system 1. In this embodiment, the document creation support system 1 allows the user to estimate the construction period in advance and register the period during which the system will be used (service period). If the system is used beyond the initially registered service period due to site or weather issues, the user sets an additional service period for the site information.
[0076] Figure 6(f) shows the destination information. In this embodiment, the destinations to which industrial waste and soil generated at the construction site are transported are managed using destination information. In the destination information, the destination name, destination address, etc., are managed using a destination ID.
[0077] Furthermore, the document creation unit 102 calculates the transportation distance for the shipment of a certain item based on the business site information and the destination information. Specifically, the registration processing unit 104 assigns location information and calculates the transportation distance based on the business site address in the business site information and the destination address in the destination information. Here, the location information may be obtained by the communication unit 13 of the information processing device 10 via the network NW using a GIS (Geographic Information System) or by using an API provided by a platform such as Google Maps.
[0078] Figure 8(a) shows the document information related to the created document. The document information stores the information necessary for the document. This information includes the document item code, quantity, destination ID, transport distance, packaging, etc.
[0079] The above is the sequence of steps for creating a report. The created report may be output in electronic file format at this stage, or it may be possible to transmit data to other user terminals or submit it to a designated institution via the communication unit 13 of the information processing device 10 or the communication unit 23 of the user terminal.
[0080] <Receiving Request Information> Next, the preparation of the report of the present invention will be explained using steps S401 to S407 in Figure 7(b). In step S401, the reception unit 101 receives request information from the user. In this embodiment, the reception unit 101 receives request information from the user terminal, which includes the construction site related to the user and the document that the user wishes to create. For example, if the user wants to create a document "Implementation Report" related to "Workplace 1", the reception unit 101 receives "Workplace 1" and "Implementation Report" as request information from the user.
[0081] <Extracting reports> In step S402, the extraction unit 103 of the information processing device 10 extracts a document format and the construction site forms corresponding to that document format, based on the request information received in S401, the business site information and document format information stored in the storage unit 12, and the item correspondence information.
[0082] As shown in Figure 8(b), the document format information is managed by the document ID, which includes the document name, the document item code to be included in the document, the unit conversion ID, and other items to be included in the document, and is stored in the storage unit 12. The extraction unit 103 extracts the document format and the construction site forms corresponding to the document format based on the document format information specified by the user terminal.
[0083] Here, the requested information specified by the user may depend on the hierarchical structure associated with the user ID. For example, if the user belongs to the "Business Site 1" hierarchical structure, the user can extract only the report information associated with Business Site 1. On the other hand, if the user belongs to the "Branch A" hierarchical structure, the user may extract reports associated with "Business Site 1" or "Business Site 2" belonging to Branch A. Furthermore, if there are multiple business sites under the user, the user may select one or more as appropriate to extract reports.
[0084] <Processing for mapping form items to document items> In step S403 of Figure 7, the registration processing unit 104 of the information processing device 10 processes the extracted form items to correspond to the document items. Figure 6(d)This is an example of item correspondence information for document items. Here, a document item is an item name used in a document, which is prepared separately from form items and unique items. Document items are managed by a document item code. Furthermore, document items are registered in association with form items and stored in the storage unit 12 as item correspondence information. , Germany This enables consistent mapping from individual items to form items, and from form items to document items. Furthermore, similar to form items, a single document item may be associated with multiple form items.
[0085] <Summary> In step S404 of Figure 7, the registration processing unit 104 of the information processing device 10 aggregates the numerical and character values of the items processed in step S403. The registration processing unit 104 aggregates the report information extracted in step S402 based on the construction period, after processing the items in step S403.
[0086] As a concrete example, suppose that in a certain business establishment, 100 records of the same form item are stored in the storage unit 12. In this case, the registration processing unit 104 processes the corresponding form item to correspond to the document item and aggregates the numerical or textual data of the 100 form items. In the case of numerical data, the two numerical values are added together for aggregation. In the case of textual data, a new row is created and the text is added to link to the corresponding document item for aggregation.
[0087] As a specific example, if two form items correspond to one document item, the registration processing unit 104 processes the two form items to correspond to the document item and aggregates the numerical or textual values of the two form items. In the case of numerical values, the two numerical values are added together and aggregated. In the case of textual values, a new row is created and the text is added to link to the corresponding document item and then aggregated. The same process is followed when more form items correspond to one document item.
[0088] <Unit Conversion> In step S405 of Figure 7, the registration processing unit 104 of the information processing device 10 calculates the numerical values of items that need to be converted to the unit specified by the document, based on the unit conversion table, from among the items aggregated in step S404. Figure 8(c) is an example of a unit conversion table stored in the storage unit 12. The unit conversion table manages the unit to be converted and the unit conversion coefficient to be multiplied by the numerical value of the document item using a unit conversion ID. The registration processing unit 104 then calculates the numerical value of the converted item by multiplying the document item that needs to be converted by the unit conversion coefficient.
[0089] For example, some forms may store items with units in "kg," but documents may require the unit to be "t." In this case, by linking the document format information with a document ID that requires the unit to be "t" and a unit conversion ID that has a unit conversion factor of "0.001," the appropriate numerical value can be registered in the document.
[0090] As another example, for soils such as "Type 1 Construction Excavated Soil," documentation may need to be submitted in units of "natural soil m³." However, it is difficult to accurately measure soils in units of "natural soil m³" at actual construction sites. Therefore, it is preferable to measure soils in "t" at construction sites and then convert the unit to "natural soil m³" by multiplying it by an appropriate specific gravity. In this invention, for earthwork items stored as "t" in the report information, the registration processing unit 104 can register a value converted to "natural soil m³" in the document by multiplying the unit conversion coefficient by the appropriate specific gravity of the construction excavated soil in question.
[0091] <Register> In step S406 of Figure 7, the registration processing unit 104 of the information processing device 10 registers the numerical values and / or characters of the items aggregated in step S404, as well as the numerical values of the items converted in units in step S405, into the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0092] As a specific example, the registration processing unit 104 registers the amount of items generated, registration date and time, destination name, destination address, transportation distance for each destination, and the amount shipped for each destination, which were aggregated in step S404, into the corresponding fields of the document format.
[0093] In addition, the registration processing unit 104 may calculate numerical values for document items based on the form information. For example, if the percentage of the amount of a certain document item shipped to each destination is required as a document item, the registration processing unit 104 may calculate the percentage by dividing the total amount of shipped items among the aggregated numerical values of the document items by the amount shipped to each destination.
[0094] <Display Processing> In S407, the display processing unit 105 processes the document format in which the items have been registered. Figure 9 shows an example of the display processing result in a user terminal according to one embodiment of the present invention. Based on the registration result by the registration processing unit 104, the display processing unit 105 processes the document format based on the user's request information and transmits the display processing result to the user terminal.
[0095] As shown in Figure 9, the user terminal display screen W10 displays an extraction area W20 for extracting forms related to documents and a document format display area W30 with registered items. The extraction area W20 displays extraction methods such as "organizational category" for selecting the governing organization such as head office, branch office, department, or business site, "project name" for selecting the site name (business site name) of the construction site, and "year". In response to various selection inputs from the user terminal, the display processing unit 105 processes the extracted forms based on hierarchical structure information, construction period, and form information, and the registration processing unit 104 processes them to correspond from form items to document items. The display processing unit then displays the document format in which the numerical values and characters of the processed items are registered in the corresponding fields.
[0096] In the "Organizational Category" of the extraction area W20, users can select locations such as the head office or branch offices according to their preferences. In "Construction Sites," users can select construction sites that belong to the organization under which they selected the "Organizational Category." The items that users can select in the extraction area 20 depend on the hierarchical structure linked to their user information. For example, a user linked to the hierarchical structure "Head Office" can select "Head Office," "Branch A," "Branch B," "BA Department," etc., from "Organizational Category," and in "Construction Sites," they can select construction sites under which each organization is responsible. On the other hand, a user linked to the hierarchical structure "Branch A" can select the organizations under which Branch A is subordinate in "Organizational Category," but cannot select "Head Office."
[0097] In the extraction area W20, under "Fiscal Year," you can select the fiscal year of the construction period. In large-scale construction projects, construction may span across fiscal years, while some documents need to be created on a fiscal year basis. In Figure 9, by selecting "Fiscal Year 2025" under "Fiscal Year," the extraction unit 103 extracts forms registered in 2025, and the registration processing unit 104 processes the items of the extracted forms to correspond to the document items, aggregates them into the corresponding items in the document format, and registers them.
[0098] This makes it easy to register numerical and text data in document formats, even for construction projects that span across fiscal years. In this embodiment, the selection is done on an annual basis, but depending on the documents being created, it may also be done on a monthly basis, or a configuration may be adopted to extract reports by specifying the construction period, service period, etc., such as the start date and completion date (illustrations omitted).
[0099] The document format display area W30 in Figure 9 displays the document format with registered items. Specifically, the document format display area W30 displays numerical values and characters registered by the registration processing unit 104, such as document item, quantity (of the document item), registration date and time, destination name, destination address, distance, and quantity (for each destination). The user can view the document format display area W30 and confirm the numerical values and characters registered in the document format. Also, as shown in Figure 9, the user can select an item in the "Select" row in the document format display area W30 and select "Modify / Change Selected Row" to modify or change the content of the registered numerical values and characters as appropriate. In this case, the document format with the registered content is stored in the storage unit 12.
[0100] As shown in Figure 9, the user can select the "Document Output" area via the user terminal. When the information processing device 10 receives the selection of "Document Output," it outputs the contents of the displayed document format. In this case, the output format may be an electronic file such as a document file or spreadsheet file, or it may be a print output to a physical medium if the information processing device 10 is connected to a printing device such as a printer.
[0101] As shown in Figure 9, the user can select the "Data Transmission" area via the user terminal. When the information processing device 10 receives the selection of "Data Transmission," it transmits the contents of the displayed document format. The destination here may be another user terminal connected to the information processing device 10, or it may be a server of a document submission organization connected to the information processing device 10. The document format to be transmitted may be an electronic file, or it may be a URL that displays the display screen W10.
[0102] In this embodiment, a hierarchical structure and fiscal year can be set, and content can be easily registered, modified, and changed in the document format fields. Furthermore, since document output and data transmission are also possible, users can complete document-related tasks within the document creation system.
[0103] <Calculation of greenhouse gas emissions> Next, we will explain in detail how greenhouse gas emissions are calculated. Figure 10 shows a flowchart of the processing procedure for calculating greenhouse gas emissions in a document creation support system according to one embodiment of the present invention. In step S901, the calculation unit 106 obtains transportation information from the document information stored in the storage unit 12. Here, transportation information refers to the transportation distance associated with the document information. Note that the transportation information may also be the registered transportation distance displayed in the document format display area W30 in Figure 9.
[0104] In step S902, the calculation unit 106 of the information processing device 10 acquires missing information. Specifically, the calculation unit 106 acquires information that is insufficient from the report information alone for calculating greenhouse gas emissions.
[0105] As a specific example, the calculation unit 106 acquires the fuel efficiency of a particular vehicle as missing information. Based on selections or inputs from the user terminal, the calculation unit 106 acquires information about a particular vehicle from the vehicle information linked to vehicle type information, which is stored in the storage unit 12.
[0106] As shown in Figure 8(d), vehicle information is managed by linking the vehicle registered by the user with the fuel efficiency of that vehicle, using a vehicle ID. Also, as shown in Figure 8(e), vehicle information is managed by linking the vehicle registered by the user with a vehicle ID. Here, vehicle information may be configured to be assigned to the selected item in the document format displayed in the document format display area W30 of Figure 9.
[0107] In step S903, the calculation unit 106 calculates greenhouse gas emissions based on the transport distance from the report information, vehicle information, and greenhouse gas emission coefficient. In this embodiment, greenhouse gas emissions are calculated by the fuel method, in which case the calculation unit 106 calculates the greenhouse gas emissions The greenhouse gas emissions (kg-CO2) are calculated as follows: (Transportation distance) ÷ (Fuel efficiency of the transported vehicle) × Greenhouse gas emission coefficient = Greenhouse gas emissions (kg-CO2).
[0108] In this embodiment, greenhouse gas emissions are calculated using the fuel method, but they may also be calculated using the ton-kilometer method, the amended ton-kilometer method, the fuel consumption method, or other methods. Furthermore, the greenhouse gas emission coefficients stored in the memory unit 12 may be changed depending on the desired calculation method.
[0109] As described above, the document creation support system 1 according to the present invention allows for easy creation of documents by using form information and a database to perform predetermined processing, and also enables the calculation of CO2 emissions.
[0110] Furthermore, although this embodiment describes the document creation process for a construction management company with a hierarchical structure and multiple construction sites, the same effects as the present invention can be obtained when the document creation support system 1 is used in fields other than construction sites.
