When the size of a company exceeds a certain level, business divisions and branches often conduct sales activities with authority. In such an environment, orders for goods and services are usually made for each business unit, for example, and an EDI system is often introduced for each business unit. That is, a situation where a plurality of EDI systems coexist in the same business entity appears. In order to improve the management efficiency, even if the coexistence state of these systems is eliminated and the EDI system is unified, when the distribution rules are fixedly set as in the past, Or, there is no consideration for the characteristics and handling policy of ordering data for every certain period. For this reason, only one sorting criterion is considered, and many EDI messages that cannot be sorted are likely to occur.

  Further, the system 100 receives an EDI message from the customer terminal 200 via the communication means 107, extracts each code of the orderer and the contractor and the order type code from the EDI message, and extracts each code extracted here. The first master search unit 112 is used to search for a distribution pattern master record (first master record) from the distribution pattern master table 125 of the storage unit 101 using the above set as a key.

  Further, the system 100 reads the data of the target data item from the distribution pattern master record (first master record) specified by the search, searches the EDI message for the data corresponding to the target data item, and this EDI All the target data items included in the message are specified, and each target data item specified here, a data item sorting master record (first record) corresponding to each combination of the orderer and contractor codes and the order type code 2 master records) is searched for in the data item distribution master table 126 of the storage means 101.

  Further, the system 100 extracts the contents of the specified data from each data item sorting master record (second master record) specified by the search, and corresponds to the data indicated by the target data item in the EDI message and the target data item. The target data item whose data matches the specified data content is specified by collating with the specified data content, and the specified target data item is represented by the logic indicated by the distribution pattern master record (first master record). A distribution destination determining unit 114 is provided that specifies an important target data item from among target data items whose data match the prescribed data contents by applying to the calculation pattern.

  In addition, the system 100 reads out data of a distribution destination from the data item distribution master record (second master record) corresponding to the identified importance target data item, and transmits the EDI message to the distribution destination. 115.

It is good. In this case, the CPU of each device reads the corresponding program from the storage device into the RAM in accordance with the execution of the program, and executes it.

--- Database structure ---
Next, the structure of the table used by the EDI integrated processing system 100 in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of (a) the distribution pattern master table 125 and (b) the data item distribution master table 126 in the present embodiment.

  The distribution pattern master table 125 includes a plurality of target data items (defined as “common format tag codes 1 to 5” in the example of FIG. 3A) to be read from an EDI message, and a logical operation between the target data items. Emphasis target data items by pattern (in the example of FIG. 3A, “logical operators” set between “common format tag codes”) (in the example of FIG. Although not defined, for example, it is assumed that the last one of the numbers “1” to “5” among the common format tag codes in which the actual data is set) or the priority target according to the priority order between the target data items For the data item, the distribution set for each set of the orderer and contractor codes included in the EDI message and the order type code (in the example of Fig. 3 (a), the information classification code) It has become a collection of pattern master record.

  In addition, the data item sorting master table 126 includes the specified data contents (number of verification digits, character string) that the EDI message should include as the target data item (“tag name” corresponding to the common format tag code), the EDI message For the distribution destination (distribution destination codes 1 to 3) of the corresponding EDI message when the data includes the data of the specified data, each code of the orderer and the contractor, the order type code, and one of the target data items It is a collection of data item sorting master records set for each combination pattern.

---- Processing flow example 1 (registration of master records) ---
Hereinafter, the actual procedure of the EDI integration processing method in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that various operations corresponding to the EDI integration processing method described below are realized by a program 102 that is read into the RAM 103 of the EDI integration processing system 100 and executed. And this program 102 is comprised from the code | cord | chord for performing the various operation | movement demonstrated below.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a processing flow example 1 of the EDI integration processing method according to the present embodiment. Here, first, a processing example for generating the distribution pattern master table 125 and the data item distribution master table 126 will be described. As described above, in the EDI integrated processing system of the present embodiment, the conditions for the EDI message distribution process can be arbitrarily set. Further, as will be described later, the setting contents can arbitrarily reflect the characteristics of data included in the EDI message and the handling policy at the distribution destination, for example, for each business division.

  In this flow, first, the pattern master acquisition means 110 of the system 100 includes each code of the orderer and the ordering party included in the EDI message and the information classification code (for example, “new order”, “change order”). , A code indicating an order type such as “confirmed order”, “additional order”, “order cancellation”, etc.) is received from the user at the input interface 105 (s100). Then, a record for each set of codes is generated in the distribution pattern master table 125 (s101). In the example of the distribution pattern master record 11 shown in FIG. 6B, the orderer code is “Manufacturer A”, the contractor code is “Parts company B”, and the information classification code is “H0502” (a code indicating “confirmed order”). ) Sets of records have been generated.

  Of course, when accepting such an input, the pattern master acquisition means 110 reads out the input screen data from the storage means 101 and displays it on the output interface 106 such as a display. The user browses the input screen displayed on the output interface 106 and inputs data to the code input field displayed on the input screen via the input interface 105 such as a keyboard / mouse. It will be. The same applies to the case where the system 100 receives data input from the user.

  Next, the pattern master acquisition means 110, for each record of each set of codes, a plurality of target data items to be read from an EDI message according to each set of codes, and a logical operation pattern between the target data items The input interface 105 receives an input for another important data item (s102).

  In the example shown in FIG. 6B, the record of the set in which the orderer code is “maker A”, the orderer code is “parts company B”, and the information classification code is “H0502” (code indicating “confirmed order”). 11, “Common format tag code 1” = “JHD0004_00007” (purchaser tag name), “Common format tag code 2” = “JBD0011_00001” (orderer product name code tag) as a plurality of target data items to be read from the EDI message Two names are set.

  Further, “logical operator 1” = “+” (logical sum) is set as the logical operation pattern between the target data items, that is, “common format tag code 1” and “common format tag code 2”. . In other words, in this case, the EDI message only needs to include data (that is, distribution is possible) for either item of “common format tag code 1” and “common format tag code 2”. When this logical operation is “positive”, which of the target data items is to be emphasized is designated by the user, and a flag (FIG. 6B) is displayed on the corresponding target data item in the distribution pattern master record. In the example of (), “common format tag code 2” is underlined and bolded). However, this flag is not set in the distribution pattern master record, and in advance, the system 100 side has the larger number of “common format tag code” (“1” or “2” in the above example), that is, The reference may be stored such that the set item is regarded as an important data item.

  Thus, a plurality of target data items to be read from the EDI message, a logical operator between the target data items, and an important target for each combination pattern of each code of the orderer and the contractor and the information classification code (order type code) The pattern master acquisition unit 110 that has received an input for the data item stores it in the distribution pattern master table 125 as a distribution pattern master record (first master record) (s103).

  Further, the data master obtaining unit 111 of the system 100 generates a record for each combination pattern of each code of the orderer and the ordering party, an information classification code (order type code), and one of the target data items. The input interface 105 accepts input regarding the specified data content that the message should include as the target data item and the distribution destination of the EDI message when the EDI message includes the data of the specified data content (s104).

  In the example of the data item distribution master record 12 shown in FIG. 6C, the orderer code is “Manufacturer A”, the contractor code is “Parts company B”, and the information classification code is “H0502” (“Confirmed Order”). Code), a record corresponding to a combination pattern of “JHD0004_00007” (purchaser tag name) corresponding to the “common format tag code 1” as the target data item “tag name” is a rule to be included as “JHD0004_00007” As the distribution destination of the corresponding EDI message when the data content is a character string “TANT” and the EDI message includes the data of the specified data content “TANT”, the distribution destination code 1 = “department A” and the distribution destination code 2 = “ “Department B” and distribution destination code 3 = “Department C” are set.

  The data master acquisition unit 111 uses the record obtained in this way, the contents of the specified data set therein and the data of the distribution destination as a data item distribution master record (second master record), and the data item distribution master table 126 of the storage unit 101. (S105).

  In this way, the distribution pattern master table 125 and the data item distribution master table 126 are generated.

--- Processing flow example 2 (Scenario 1) ---
Next, an actual EDI message distribution process will be described in accordance with each assumed situation of scenarios 1-4. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a processing flow example of the EDI integration processing method in this embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a master record selection example 1 in this embodiment. Scenarios 1 to 4 assume various variations of the number of target data items, logical operations between target data items, and priority order, and the flow shown in FIG. 5 is a common flow.

  The outline of scenario 1 taken up here is as follows. The system 100 receives from the customer terminal 200 the EDI message of a firm order sent from the manufacturer A to the parts company B, and determines the company terminal 300 that is the distribution destination. As the received EDI message, the XML reception data 10 shown in FIG. 6A is assumed, and the XML reception data 10 includes two types of the common format tag codes. In addition, between these two types of common format tag codes, the logical operator “+” (logical sum) is set in the corresponding distribution pattern master record 11 (FIG. 6B) of the distribution pattern master table 125. Yes.

  In such a case, the first master search unit 112 of the system 100 receives the EDI message 10 from the customer terminal 200 via the communication unit 107 (s200), and from the EDI message 20, the orderer code “maker A”, Then, the contractor code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” are extracted (s201).

  Further, the first master search means 112 executes a search in the distribution pattern master table 125 of the storage means 101 by using each code set extracted in the step s201 as a key, and the distribution pattern master record 11 (FIG. 6 (b)) is specified (s202).

  Subsequently, the second master search unit 113 of the system 100 uses the first (N = 1) “common format tag” as the data of the target data item from the distribution pattern master record 11 specified in the search of step s202. The value “JHD0004_00007” of the code 1 is read, and the value corresponding to the target data item is searched by the EDI telegram 10 (s203: y, s204, s205).

  The second master retrieval unit 113 identifies the target data item included in the EDI telegram 10 (s206), and identifies the target data item identified here, the codes of the ordering party and the ordering party, and the information classification code. The data item distribution master record corresponding to the combination of the data item is searched in the data item distribution master table 126 of the storage means 101 (s207).

  In the example of FIG. 6, the EDI telegram 10 includes two items “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” as values of “common format tag code 1” to “common format tag code 2” as data items. Since both are included, the second master search means 113 firstly stores the first (N = 1) data of the “JHD0004_00007”, the orderer code “maker A”, the orderer code “parts company”. Using the combination of “B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched. Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item distribution master record 12 shown in FIG. 6C (s208).

  Subsequently, the distribution destination determination unit 114 of the system 100 uses the data item distribution master record 12 specified up to step s208 to store data on the items of “collation digit” and “character string” (specified data contents). Is extracted (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 12 shown in FIG. 6C, data of the collation digit number “4” and the character string “TANT” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination means 114 indicates “in the start position 1” of the distribution pattern master record 11 in the data “TANTO_A” indicated by the target data item “JHD0004_00007” in the EDI message 10. Based on “1”, the character string is obtained from “T” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “4” digit indicated by the collation digit number “4”, and the character “TANT” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determining means 114 compares the character string “TANT” obtained here with the specified “TANT” extracted from the data item distribution master record 12 in step s206, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  On the other hand, after determining in step s211 that the two match, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, since one more item, “JBD0011_00001” remains, it is determined that the next data item exists (s212: y), and the data item “logical operator 1” of the distribution pattern master record 21 is determined. Read the value. The distribution destination determination unit 114 specifies that “logical operator 1” is set to “+” (logical sum) (s213: +). In other words, for any one of the “JHD0004_00007” and the next data item “JBD0011_00001”, the one that matches the rules of the data item sorting master record (each condition of “collation digit” and “character string”) Is specified, the distribution destination defined by the data item distribution master record for the matched data item ("JHD0004_00007" and any of the next data items) is the distribution destination of the EDI message 10, that is, the transmission destination. Become.

  Therefore, the distribution destination determination unit 114 distributes the values of the data items “distribution destination code 1” to “distribution destination code 3” and the data of “department A” to “department C” in the data item distribution master record 12. First, it is specified as a minute and stored in the RAM 103, and the process returns to step s203 (s214).

  Returning to step s203, the second master search means 113 determines the second data item (N = 1 + 1 = 2), the data “JBD0011_00001”, the orderer code “maker A”, the contractor. Using the combination of the code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched (s203: y, s204 to s207). Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item distribution master record 13 shown in FIG. 6D (s208).

  Further, the distribution destination determination means 114 of the system 100 obtains data (specified data contents) on the items “collation digit” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 13 specified up to step s208. Extract (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 13 in FIG. 6D, data of the collation digit number “5” and the character string “HINME” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination means 114 indicates “in the start position 2” of the distribution pattern master record 11 among the data “HINMEI_B” indicated by the target data item “JBD0011_00001” in the EDI message 10. Based on “1”, the character string is acquired from “H” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “5” digit indicated by the collation digit number “5”, and the character “HINME” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determination unit 114 compares the character string “HINME” obtained here with the specified “HINME” extracted from the data item distribution master record 13 in step s209, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  After determining that the two match in step s211, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, it is confirmed whether the next data item, that is, the third (N = 2 + 1 = 3) exists as a processing target (s217, s218). In the case of the above example, since there is no next data item, it is determined that there is no next data item (s218: n).

  In addition, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines whether the data item distribution master record specification and the data item value are the same for either “JHD0004_00007” or “JBD0011_00001”, that is, the logical operator “+” ( It is determined whether or not the condition (logical sum) is satisfied (s219). In the above example, since the coincidence is confirmed for both “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001”, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that “the logical condition is satisfied” (s219: n), and performs the processing step. Proceed to s222.

  In step s222, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines which distribution destination is to be emphasized between the two data items (that is, which of “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” is to be regarded as an important data item). Accordingly, the predetermined flags attached to the data items “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” in the distribution pattern master record 11 are read (s222). In the example of FIG. 6B, since “JBD0011_00001” is underlined, the distribution destination determination means 114 determines the distribution destination (distribution destination codes 1 and 2 of the data item distribution master record 13 of “JBD0011_00001”). "Department D", "Department E") is determined as the distribution destination of the EDI message 10, and stored in the RAM 103 (s223).

  Since the distribution destination of the EDI message 10 has been determined, the message transmission unit 115 reads the distribution destination data “department D” and “department E” from the RAM 103 and transmits the EDI message 10 to the distribution destination. (S216). Of course, the data of the distribution destination (“Department D”, “Department E”, etc.) includes the address of the company terminal 300 of the corresponding department on the internal network 145.

--- Processing flow example (Scenario 2) ---
Next, a distribution process corresponding to scenario 2 will be described. FIG. 7 shows a selection example 2-1 of master records in this embodiment, and FIG. 8 shows a selection example 2-2. The outline of scenario 2 taken up here is as follows. The system 100 receives the EDI message of the firm order sent from the manufacturer A to the parts company B, and determines the distribution destination. As the received EDI message, the XML reception data 20 shown in FIG. 7A is assumed, and the XML reception data 20 includes three types of the common format tag codes. In addition, between each of these three types of common format tag codes, the logical operator “+” (logical sum) is set in the corresponding distribution pattern master record 21 (FIG. 7B) in the distribution pattern master table 125. ing.

  In such a case, the first master search means 112 of the system 100 receives the EDI message 20 from the customer terminal 200 via the communication means 107 (s200), and from the EDI message 20, the orderer code “maker A”, Then, the contractor code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” are extracted (s201).

  Further, the first master search means 112 executes a search in the distribution pattern master table 125 of the storage means 101 by using each code set extracted in the step s201 as a key, and assigns the distribution pattern master record 21 (FIG. 7 (b)) is specified (s202).

  Subsequently, the second master search unit 113 of the system 100 uses the first (N = 1) “common format tag” as the data of the target data item from the distribution pattern master record 21 specified by the search in step s202. The value “JHD0004 — 00007” of “Code 1” is read, and the value corresponding to the target data item is searched by the EDI telegram 20 (s203: y, s204, s205).

  The second master retrieval unit 113 identifies the target data item included in the EDI telegram 20 (s206), and identifies the target data item identified here, the codes of the orderer and the ordering party, and the information classification code. The data item distribution master record corresponding to the combination of the data item is searched in the data item distribution master table 126 of the storage means 101 (s207).

  In the example of FIG. 7, the EDI message 20 includes data items “Common Format Tag Code 1” to “Common Format Tag Code 3” as “JHD0004_00007”, “JBD0011_00001”, and “JBD0011_00003”. Therefore, the second master search means 113 first stores the first (N = 1) data of the “JHD0004_00007”, the orderer code “maker A”, and the contractor. Using the combination of the code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched. Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item distribution master record 22 shown in FIG. 8A (s208).

  Subsequently, the distribution destination determination unit 114 of the system 100 stores data (specified data contents) on the items of “collation digit” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 22 specified up to step s208. Is extracted (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 22 shown in FIG. 8A, data of the collation digit number “4” and the character string “TANT” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination unit 114 indicates “in the start position 1” of the distribution pattern master record 21 in the data “TANTO_A” indicated by the target data item “JHD0004_00007” in the EDI message 20. Based on “1”, the character string is obtained from “T” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “4” digit indicated by the collation digit number “4”, and the character “TANT” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determining means 114 compares the character string “TANT” obtained here with the specified “TANT” extracted from the data item distribution master record 22 in step s206, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  On the other hand, after determining in step s211 that the two match, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, since there are two remaining items, “JBD0011_00001” and “JBD0011_00003”, it is determined that the next data item exists (s212: y), and the data item “logical operation of the distribution pattern master record 21” is determined. Read the value of child 1 ". The distribution destination determination unit 114 specifies that “logical operator 1” is set to “+” (logical sum) (s213: +). In other words, either “JHD0004_00007” or the next data item (“JBD0011_00001” or “JBD0011_00003”) matches the data item sorting master record specifications (each condition of “collation digit” and “character string”). If an item is specified in the EDI message 20, the distribution destination specified by the data item distribution master record for the matched data item ("JHD0004_00007" and one of the data items next to it) is the distribution destination of the EDI message 20. The destination, that is, the destination.

  Therefore, the distribution destination determination means 114 distributes the values of the data items “distribution destination code 1” to “distribution destination code 3” and the data of “department A” to “department C” in the data item distribution master record 22. First, it is specified as a minute and stored in the RAM 103, and the process returns to step s203 (s214).

  Returning to step s203, the second master search means 113 determines the second data item (N = 1 + 1 = 2), the data “JBD0011_00001”, the orderer code “maker A”, the contractor. Using the combination of the code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched (s203: y, s204 to s207). Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item distribution master record 23 shown in FIG. 8B (s208).

  Further, the distribution destination determining means 114 of the system 100 obtains the data (specified data contents) for the items “collation digit” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 23 specified up to step s208. Extract (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 23 in FIG. 8B, data of the collation digit number “5” and the character string “HINME” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination unit 114 indicates “in the start position 2” of the distribution pattern master record 21 among the data “HINMEI_B” indicated by the target data item “JBD0011_00001” in the EDI message 20. Based on “1”, the character string is acquired from “H” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “5” digit indicated by the collation digit number “5”, and the character “HINME” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determining means 114 compares the character string “HINME” obtained here with the specified “HINME” extracted from the data item distribution master record 23 in step s209, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  After determining that the two match in step s211, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, since one more item “JBD0011_00003” remains, it is determined that the next data item exists (s212: y), and the data item “logical operator 2” of the distribution pattern master record 21 is determined. A value is read, and it is specified that “+” (logical sum) is set (s213: +). In other words, for any of the data items up to “JBD0011_00001” and the next item “JBD0011_00003”, those that match the rules of the data item sorting master record (each condition of “collation digit” and “character string”) If specified in the EDI message 20, the distribution destination specified by the data item distribution master record for the matched data item ("JHD0004_00007" and the next data item) is the distribution destination of the EDI message 20, that is, The destination.

  Therefore, the distribution destination determination means 114 distributes the data item “distribution destination code 1” and “distribution destination code 2” values, “department D”, and “department E” data in the data item distribution master record 23. First, it is specified as a minute and overwritten and stored in the RAM 103, and the process returns to step s203 (s214).

  Returning to step s203 again, the second master search means 113 receives the data of the “JBD0011_00003” as the third (N = 2 + 1 = 3) data item, the orderer code “maker A”, the order received. Using the combination of the operator code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched (s203: y, s204 to s207). Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item distribution master record 24 shown in FIG. 8C (s208).

  Further, the distribution destination determining means 114 of the system 100 obtains data (specified data contents) on the items “collation digit” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 24 identified up to step s208. Extract (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 24 shown in FIG. 8C, data of the collation digit number “4” and the character string “INAM” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination unit 114 indicates “in the“ start position 3 ”of the distribution pattern master record 21 among the data“ JUCHUC ”indicated by the target data item“ JBD0011_00003 ”in the EDI message 20. Based on “3”, the character string is obtained from “C” of the “3” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “4” digit indicated by the number of collation digits “4”, and the character “CHUC” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determination unit 114 compares the character string “CHUC” obtained here with the specified “JUCHU” extracted from the data item distribution master record 24 in step s209, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that the two do not match (s211: n).

  As described above, when the determination result in step s211 is not “match”, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines whether the next data item, that is, the fourth (N = 3 + 1 = 4) exists as a processing target. Confirm (s217, s218). In the case of the above example, since there is no next data item, it is determined that there is no next data item (s218: n).

  In addition, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines whether the data item distribution master record definition and the data item value are the same for any of the “JHD0004_00007”, “JBD0011_00001”, and “JBD0011_00003”, that is, the logical operation It is determined whether the condition of the child “+” (logical sum) is satisfied (s219). In the above example, since “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” are confirmed to match, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that “the logical condition is satisfied” (s219: n), and the process proceeds to step s222. Proceed.

  In step s222, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines which distribution destination is to be emphasized between the two data items (that is, which of “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” is to be regarded as an important data item). Therefore, the predetermined flag attached to the data items “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” in the distribution pattern master record 21 is read (s222). In the example of FIG. 7A, since “JBD0011_00001” is underlined, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines the distribution destination (distribution destination codes 1 and 2 of the data item distribution master record 23 of “JBD0011_00001”). "Department D", "Department E") is determined as the distribution destination of the EDI message 20, and stored in the RAM 103 (s223).

  Since the distribution destination of the EDI message 20 has been determined, the message transmission unit 115 reads the distribution destination data “Department D” and “Department E” from the RAM 103 and transmits the EDI message 20 to the distribution destination. (S216). Of course, the data of the distribution destination (“Department D”, “Department E”, etc.) includes the address of the company terminal 300 of the corresponding department on the internal network 145.

--- Processing flow example (Scenario 3) ---
Next, a distribution process corresponding to scenario 3 will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a selection example 3 of master records in the present embodiment. The outline of scenario 3 taken up here is as follows. The system 100 receives the EDI message of the firm order sent from the manufacturer A to the parts company B, and determines the distribution destination. As the received EDI message, the XML reception data 30 shown in FIG. 9A is assumed, and this XML reception data 30 includes two types of the common format tag codes. In addition, between these two types of common format tag codes, the logical operator “&” (logical product) is set in the corresponding distribution pattern master record 31 (FIG. 9B) in the distribution pattern master table 125. Yes.

  In such a case, the first master search means 112 of the system 100 receives the EDI message 30 from the customer terminal 200 via the communication means 107 (s200), and the orderer code “maker A” from the EDI message 30, Then, the contractor code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” are extracted (s201).

  Further, the first master search means 112 performs a search in the distribution pattern master table 125 of the storage means 101 using each code set extracted in the step s201 as a key, and executes a distribution pattern master record 31 (FIG. 9 (b)) is specified (s202).

  Subsequently, the second master search unit 113 of the system 100 uses the first (N = 1) “common format tag” as the data of the target data item from the distribution pattern master record 31 specified by the search in step s202. The value “JHD0004 — 00007” of “Code 1” is read, and the value corresponding to this target data item is searched in the EDI telegram 30 (s203: y, s204, s205).

  Further, the second master search means 113 identifies the target data item included in the EDI telegram 30 (s206), and identifies the target data item identified here, the orderer and contractor codes, and the information classification code. The data item distribution master record corresponding to the combination of the data item is searched in the data item distribution master table 126 of the storage means 101 (s207).

  In the example of FIG. 9, the EDI telegram 30 has two items, “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001”, as data items, each value of “common format tag code 1” to “common format tag code 2”. Since both are included, the second master search means 113 firstly stores the first (N = 1) data of the “JHD0004_00007”, the orderer code “maker A”, the orderer code “parts company”. Using the combination of “B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched. Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item sorting master record 32 shown in FIG. 9C (s208).

  Subsequently, the distribution destination determination unit 114 of the system 100 stores data (items of specified data) on the items of “collation digit” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 32 specified up to step s208. Is extracted (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 32 shown in FIG. 9C, data of the collation digit number “4” and the character string “TANT” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination means 114 indicates “in the start position 1” of the distribution pattern master record 31 among the data “TANTO_A” indicated by the target data item “JHD0004_00007” in the EDI message 30. Based on “1”, the character string is obtained from “T” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “4” digit indicated by the collation digit number “4”, and the character “TANT” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determining means 114 compares the character string “TANT” obtained here with the specified “TANT” extracted from the data item distribution master record 32 in step s206, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  On the other hand, after determining in step s211 that the two match, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, since one more item “JBD0011_00001” remains, it is determined that the next data item exists (s212: y), and the data item “logical operator 1” of the distribution pattern master record 31 is determined. Read the value. Here, the distribution destination determination means 114 specifies that “logical operator 1” is set to “&” (logical product) (s213: &). In other words, for both “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001”, the EDI message 30 identifies the data item sorting master record that matches the rules of the data item sorting master record (each condition of “collation digit” and “character string”). For example, the distribution destination specified by the data item distribution master record for the matched data items (“JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001”) is the distribution destination of the EDI telegram 30, that is, the transmission destination.

  Therefore, the distribution destination determination means 114 distributes the values of the data items “distribution destination code 1” to “distribution destination code 3” and the data of “department A” to “department C” in the data item distribution master record 32. First, it is specified as a minute and stored in the RAM 103, and the process returns to step s203 (s214).

  Returning to step s203, the second master search means 113 determines the second data item (N = 1 + 1 = 2), the data “JBD0011_00001”, the orderer code “maker A”, the contractor. Using the combination of the code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched (s203: y, s204 to s207). Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item distribution master record 33 shown in FIG. 9D (s208).

  Further, the distribution destination determining means 114 of the system 100 obtains data (specified data contents) on the items “collation digit” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 33 specified up to step s208. Extract (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 33 in FIG. 9D, data of the collation digit number “5” and the character string “HINME” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination means 114 indicates “in the start position 2” of the distribution pattern master record 31 in the data “HINMEI_B” indicated by the target data item “JBD0011_00001” in the EDI message 30. Based on “1”, the character string is acquired from “H” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “5” digit indicated by the collation digit number “5”, and the character “HINME” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determining means 114 compares the character string “HINME” obtained here with the prescribed “HINME” extracted from the data item distribution master record 33 in step s209, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  After determining that the two match in step s211, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, it is confirmed whether the next data item, that is, the third (N = 2 + 1 = 3) exists as a processing target (s217, s218). In the case of the above example, since there is no next data item, it is determined that there is no next data item (s218: n).

  In addition, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines whether the data item distribution master record specification and the data item value are the same for both “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001”, that is, the logical operator “&” ( It is determined whether the condition of (logical product) is satisfied (s219). In the above example, since the coincidence is confirmed for both “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001”, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that “the logical condition is satisfied” (s219: n), and performs the processing step. Proceed to s222. If the logical condition is not satisfied (s219: y), the distribution destination determination unit 114 sets a distribution destination undecided flag for the EDI message 30 and stores it in the storage unit 101 (s220).

  In step s222, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines which distribution destination is to be emphasized between the two data items (that is, which of “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” is to be regarded as an important data item). Therefore, the predetermined flags attached to the data items “JHD0004_00007” and “JBD0011_00001” in the distribution pattern master record 31 are read (s222). In the example of FIG. 9B, since “JBD0011_00001” is underlined, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines the distribution destination (distribution destination codes 1 and 2 of the data item distribution master record 33 of “JBD0011_00001”). "Department D", "Department E") is determined as the distribution destination of the EDI message 30 and stored in the RAM 103 (s223).

  Since the distribution destination of the EDI message 30 has been determined, the message transmission means 115 reads the distribution destination data “Department D” and “Department E” from the RAM 103 and transmits the EDI message 30 to the distribution destination. (S216). Of course, the data of the distribution destination (“Department D”, “Department E”, etc.) includes the address of the company terminal 300 of the corresponding department on the internal network 145.

--- Processing flow example (Scenario 4) ---
Next, a distribution process corresponding to scenario 4 will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a master record selection example 4-1 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the selection example 4-2. The outline of scenario 4 taken up here is as follows. The system 100 receives the EDI message of the firm order sent from the manufacturer A to the parts company B, and determines the distribution destination. As the received EDI message, the XML reception data 40 shown in FIG. 10A is assumed, and the XML reception data 40 includes three types of the common format tag codes. Further, for each of these three types of common format tag codes, in the corresponding distribution pattern master record 41 (FIG. 10B) in the distribution pattern master table 125, the priority “>"Is set.

  In such a case, the first master search unit 112 of the system 100 receives the EDI message 40 from the customer terminal 200 via the communication unit 107 (s200), and the orderer code “maker A” from the EDI message 40, Then, the contractor code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” are extracted (s201).

  Further, the first master search means 112 executes a search in the distribution pattern master table 125 of the storage means 101 by using each code set extracted in the step s201 as a key, and assigns the distribution pattern master record 41 (FIG. 10 (b)) is specified (s202).

  Subsequently, the second master search unit 113 of the system 100 uses the first (N = 1) “common format tag” as the data of the target data item from the distribution pattern master record 41 specified by the search in step s202. The value “JHD0004 — 00007” of the code 1 is read, and the value corresponding to the target data item is searched by the EDI telegram 40 (s203: y, s204, s205).

  Further, the second master search means 113 identifies the target data item included in the EDI telegram 40 (s206), and identifies the target data item identified here, the codes of the orderer and the ordering party, and the information classification code. The data item distribution master record corresponding to the combination of the data item is searched in the data item distribution master table 126 of the storage means 101 (s207).

  In the example of FIG. 10, the EDI telegram 40 includes data items “Common Format Tag Code 1” to “Common Format Tag Code 3” as “JHD0004_00007”, “JBD0011_00001”, “JBD0011_00003”. Therefore, the second master search means 113 first stores the first (N = 1) data of the “JHD0004_00007”, the orderer code “maker A”, and the contractor. Using the combination of the code “part company B” and the information classification code “H0502” as a key, the data item sorting master table 126 is searched. Then, the second master search means 113 obtains the data item sorting master record 42 shown in FIG. 11A (s208).

  Subsequently, the distribution destination determination means 114 of the system 100 stores data (specified data contents) on the items of “number of collation digits” and “character string” from the data item distribution master record 42 specified up to step s208. Is extracted (s209). In the example of the data item sorting master record 42 shown in FIG. 10A, data of the collation digit number “4” and the character string “TANT” can be extracted.

  Further, the distribution destination determination means 114 indicates “in the start position 1” of the distribution pattern master record 41 in the data “TANTO_A” indicated by the target data item “JHD0004_00007” in the EDI message 40. Based on “1”, the character string is obtained from “T” of the “1” character, the character string is extracted up to the character of the “4” digit indicated by the collation digit number “4”, and the character “TANT” is extracted. A column is acquired (s210). Here, the distribution destination determining means 114 compares the character string “TANT” obtained here with the specified “TANT” extracted from the data item distribution master record 42 in step s206, and the two match. Is determined (s211). In the case of the above example, the distribution destination determination unit 114 determines that both match (s211: y). If they do not match (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217.

  On the other hand, after determining in step s211 that the two match, the distribution destination determination unit 114 checks whether the next data item exists as a processing target (s212). In the case of the above example, since two more items, “JBD0011_00001” and “JBD0011_00003” remain, it is determined that the next data item exists (s212: y), and the data item “logical operation of the distribution pattern master record 41” Read the value of child 1 ". The distribution destination determination unit 114 specifies that “logical operator 1” here is a setting of “>” (priority order) (s213:>). That is, among the “JHD0004_00007” and the next data item (“JBD0011_00001” and “JBD0011_00003”), the data item sorting master record definition for “JHD0004_00007” first (each condition of “collation digit” and “character string”) Is identified in the EDI message 40, the distribution destination specified by the data item distribution master record 42 for the data item "JHD0004_00007" which is the data item with the highest priority is the distribution destination of the EDI message 40, That is, it becomes a transmission destination.

  Therefore, the distribution destination determination means 114 distributes the values of the data items “distribution destination code 1” to “distribution destination code 3” and the data of “department A” to “department C” in the data item distribution master record 42. The minutes are determined and stored in the RAM 103 (s215).

  If the determination result in step s211 is not “match” (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217, and for the next data item “JBD0011_00001”, the data item “JHD0004_00007”. Similarly to the above, the above processing steps s205 to s211 are executed. In the example of the distribution pattern master record 41 shown in FIG. 10B, since “>” is also specified for the data item of “logical operator 2”, the determination result of step s211 for “JBD0011_00001” If “match”, the distribution destination “department D” and “department E” designated in the data item distribution master record 43 (FIG. 11B) for “JBD0011_00001” are assigned to the distribution destination determination means. 114 is determined as a distribution destination and stored in the RAM 103 (same as step s215 above).

  If the determination result of step s211 is not “match” for the data item “JBD0011_00001” (s211: n), the distribution destination determination unit 114 proceeds with the process to step s217 to set the next data item “JBD0011_00003”. As for the data item “JHD0004 — 00007”, the above processing steps s205 to s211 are executed. If the determination result in step s211 is “match” for “JBD0011_00003”, the distribution destination “department F” specified in the data item distribution master record 44 (FIG. 11C) for this “JBD0011_00003”. ”Is determined as the distribution destination and stored in the RAM 103 (same as step s215 above).

  When the distribution destination of the EDI message 40 is thus determined, the message transmission means 115 reads the distribution destination data “Department D” and “Department E” from the RAM 103 and sends the EDI message 40 to the distribution destination. (S216). Of course, the data of the distribution destination (“Department D”, “Department E”, etc.) includes the address of the company terminal 300 of the corresponding department on the internal network 145.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to distribute EDI messages that arbitrarily reflect data characteristics and handling policies, and to improve data processing efficiency in the EDI system.
