(Operation of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, an example of the operation of the document management system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 9 and 10 with reference to FIGS. In the following, as an example, an operation in which the user A browses the basic function specifications with different versions of the document management software A data will be described.

(1) Setting Operation User A operates the input unit 31 to request display of a setting screen. The CPU 33 requests the data management server 2 to display a setting screen via the communication unit 32 and the Internet 4. The CPU 22 of the data management server 2 reads the setting screen from the unfolding / folding setting unit 24 stored in the storage unit 23 and transmits it to the Web client 3.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the setting screen 240. The setting screen 240 has a setting 241 that allows manual expansion of a folder, a setting 242 that enables automatic expansion based on a minimum frequency 243 for expansion, and a folder that can be manually folded. A setting 244 that is set to automatically fold based on the setting frequency 246 to be folded, a determination button 247 that saves the input setting information, and a cancel button that cancels the input setting information 248.

  For example, it is assumed that the user A sets “10” as the minimum frequency 243 for expansion and “1” as the maximum frequency 246 for folding. Next, the user A selects the determination button 247 on the setting screen 240, and the CPU 33 of the Web client 3 transmits setting information from the communication unit 32 to the document management server 2. When the document management server 2 receives the setting information by the communication unit 21, the CPU 22 of the document management server 2 stores the setting information in the unfolding / folding setting unit 24.

(2) Accumulation of Operation Information User A operates the input unit 31 of the Web client 3 and requests activation of the browser 341. Based on the operation signal, the CPU 33 of the Web client 3 activates the browser 341 stored in the storage unit 34, instructs the connection to the data management server 2 via the communication unit 32 and the Internet 4, and manages the data. When the connection to the server 2 is confirmed, a tree display screen is displayed on the display unit 35.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of the tree display screen 350. User A operates the input unit 31 of the Web client 3 to expand some folders in the tree display screen 350, and then, for example, Ver. 3 Ver. It is assumed that the basic function specification 241c of the document group 241b in the three specification folder 57c is browsed.

  The Web client 3 transmits operation information from the communication unit 32 to the data management server 2. The CPU 22 of the data management server 2 reads the program 25 from the storage unit 23 and processes the received operation information using the operation history information storage unit 221.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of the operation history information 260 stored in the operation history information storage unit 26. For example, from the received operation information, the operation history information storage unit 221 uses “User A” as the user ID 261, “Ver. 3 specification” as the operation item ID 262, and the operation 263 as shown in FIG. “2005/04/09 16:17:02” is acquired as “browsing” as the date and time 264 (S10), and is stored as operation history information 260a in the operation history information storage unit 26 (S11).

  The related item storage unit 222 acquires the operation item ID 262 from the operation history information 260b that is shared by the user A and the operation history information 260a that is subsequently stored (S12).

  FIG. 7 shows an example of the related item 270 as the related information stored in the related item storage unit 27. The related item storage unit 222 generates a related item ID 271 from the operation item ID 262 acquired from the operation history information 260b. Thereafter, the related item storage unit 222 generates the user ID 261, the operation item ID 262, and the generated related item ID 271 of the operation history information 260a as the related item 270 having the frequency 272 of “1” (S13).

  Further, the related item storage unit 222 acquires, from the related item storage unit 27, the related item 270 having the same user ID 261, operation item ID 262, and related item ID 271 among the generated related items 270. After the common related item 270a is acquired, the frequency 272 included in the related item 270a is updated, and the updated related item 270a is stored in the related item storage unit 27 (S14).

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. When browsing the basic function specification 241c in the three specification folder 57c, the operation history information storage unit 221 stores the operation history information 260b in the operation history information storage unit 26 shown in FIG.

  Hereinafter, as the user A repeats operations through the above processing, the operation history information 260 is accumulated in the operation history information accumulation unit 26, and the related items 270 are accumulated in the related item accumulation unit 27.

(3) Unfolding and folding operation The operation history information storage unit 221 acquires a user ID 261 and an operation item ID 262 from the stored operation history information 260 (S20).

  The related item reading unit 223 confirms whether or not the related item 270 having the acquired user ID 261 and operation item ID 262 in common exists in the related item 270 stored in the related item storage unit 27.

  When there is a related item 270 in which the acquired user ID 261 and operation item ID 262 are common (S21; Yes), the expansion / folding determination unit 224 has the same user ID 261 and operation item ID 262, and the expansion / folding setting unit 24. The related item 270 including the frequency 272 having a higher frequency than “10”, which is the minimum frequency 246 to be expanded, included in the setting information stored in is acquired.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the unfolding / folding determining means 224 is the only related item 270 having a frequency higher than the minimum frequency 246, so Ver. 3 after browsing the basic function specification 241c in the specification folder 57c. 2. Judge that the document in the specification folder is to be viewed.

  After the determination as described above, the expansion / contraction determination unit 224 sends the Ver. An instruction is issued to confirm whether or not the two specification folder 56c is expanded.

  When there is no related item 270 having the same user ID 261 and operation item ID 262 acquired here (S21; No), the operation is terminated. When the user A performs an operation on an arbitrary folder, the related item storage unit 222 stores a related item 270 having a frequency of “1” through a process of storing the related item 270 already shown. Store in the unit 27.

  The unfolding / folding means 225 receives Ver. 2 Check whether the specification folder is expanded.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a tree display screen 350 displayed on the Web client 3 provided by the data management server 2 after the expansion and folding processing.

  The unfolding means 225 is Ver. 2 when the specification folder 56c is not expanded (S22; No), as shown in FIG. 2 folder 56, Ver. The document in the two specification folder 56c is expanded so as to be easily operated (S23).

  Here, Ver. When the two-specification folder 56c is expanded (S22; Yes), the process proceeds to step 24.

  Further, the unfolding / folding determining means 224 does not have a related item 270 including a frequency 272 that is less than the maximum folding frequency 246 “1” included in the setting information stored in the unfolding / folding setting unit 24. From Ver. 2 Except for the specification folder 56c, some folders that have already been expanded are Ver. It is determined that the folder is an unrelated folder that is not operated after browsing the basic function specification 241c in the three specifications 57c.

  Therefore, the expansion / contraction determination unit 224 confirms whether or not an unrelated folder is expanded.

  When the unrelated folder is expanded (S24; Yes), the expansion / folding unit 225 collapses the educational material folder 51 and the market research material folder 52 shown in FIG. 8 as unrelated folders (S25). When an unrelated folder is not expanded (S24; No), the operation is terminated.

  As a result of the expansion / folding means 225 expanding and folding the folder shown in FIG. 2 folder 56 is expanded, and educational material folder 51 and market research material folder 52 that have already been expanded are folded. Therefore, tree display state 241a shown in FIG. 8 is more suitable than tree display state 241a shown in FIG. Since it becomes shorter in the vertical direction and the display area 241d can be used more than in FIG. 8, the operability for the user is improved.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from or changing the technical idea of the present invention. Also, these may be installed as a program from a media reading unit (not shown) or the communication unit 22 and realized by the CPU 23 or may be realized as a circuit by an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).
