Description

  The present invention relates to a technical field for improving the quality and reliability of a posting operation, and more particularly to a technology for confirming a distribution status using information communication technology.

  The posting work is a work to distribute the distribution to each house (residence and business office) at the request of the client (client). The distribution includes flyers for advertisements, paid regular and irregular publications. There are public relations of the country or public organizations. Distribution by posting business is undecided on the distribution date and distribution time compared to newspaper inserts, but it can be distributed almost 100% to a specific area regardless of the type and presence of the subscribed newspaper. In addition, it is possible to select a distribution method in the distribution area, and it is also possible to select distribution only for detached houses or only for apartment houses.

In distribution and delivery, not only posting, but also postal delivery and home delivery, delays and illegal disposal of distribution items are not lost, and ensuring the quality and reliability of distribution and delivery is an urgent need. In this regard, in the management of deliveries with individual destinations, information communication technology is used to assign numbers to individual deliverables and manage the passage of delivery routes, so that routes from delivery requests to receipts are managed. In addition, a tracking service that records the time and can be confirmed by the orderer via the network has been put into practical use, and the traceability of deliverables is ensured.
On the other hand, posting does not have individual destinations for each distribution, but distributes the same distribution to each house in a certain area, and traceability using information communication technology has not yet been put into practical use. .
Distribution is an external activity, and it is difficult to record the activity. In particular, it is difficult for a person engaged in posting work to be in the form of contracting or outsourcing, and to request a uniform report.

In Patent Document 1, for the purpose of facilitating the creation of daily reports for employees who go out and work, a mobile terminal of an outing person detects the current position every predetermined time, and this position is detected by a server. A method (paragraph 0008) for generating daily report data by collating information with map data is disclosed.
In Patent Document 2, for the purpose of easily ordering the necessary number of copies to a newspaper store that can be delivered to an area where a flyer is to be distributed, a store is designated by specifying the region, and the distribution number registered in advance is set. A method of placing an order after confirmation (paragraphs 0025, 0033, FIG. 8, FIG. 9) is disclosed.
In Patent Document 3, a list of distribution areas is displayed on the mobile terminal of the distributor for the purpose of making it easy for the client to grasp the area and time when distribution in the posting work is completed. A method (paragraph 0009, FIG. 4) is disclosed in which a distribution completion area is input from the server and a map on which the distribution completion area is painted is generated on the server side.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-260994 JP 2004-70409 A JP 2004-118631 A

Since the above Patent Document 1 is intended for employees who go out and work (paragraph 0007), position data during movement is unnecessary, and the staying time at the staying place is important information (paragraph 0035). In this regard, in the posting industry, the area moved for distribution is important, so it is difficult to apply the technique described in Patent Document 1 to the posting industry. Further, even if route information based on changes in the current position data by GPS or the like is obtained, it is unclear whether or not the distribution was actually possible on the route.
In the above-mentioned patent document 2, by selecting an area, it is possible to obtain a distributor that can be distributed and the maximum number of copies that can be distributed (FIGS. 8, 9 and the like). I can't.

The above-mentioned patent document 3 states that “in posting business, information that is desired to be accurately obtained cannot be obtained when it is desired to know by both a contractor and a client, including the distribution date and time. And the same kind of problem as that of the present invention is disclosed.
In order to solve this problem, the distribution area list is displayed on the distributor's mobile terminal, the distribution person inputs the distribution completion area from the list, and the server displays the distribution completion area separately. (Paragraphs 0019, 0023) The technique is disclosed. Also disclosed is a technique for transmitting the latitude / longitude information using a GPS-compatible mobile phone and converting it into an address code on the server side so as to grasp the distribution status (paragraphs 0025 and 0027). .
However, in the method described in Patent Document 3, the report of the distributor regarding the single distribution (flyer) is used as the distribution completion report, so firstly, the report of the distributor cannot be handled as the distribution completion as it is. Even in such a case, the area is painted out as distribution is completed. Secondly, in the posting business, there are many cases where a plurality of distributions are distributed in one distribution. However, Patent Document 3 reports a completion report when distributing a plurality of types of distributions simultaneously in the same distribution operation (circulation). There is no disclosure on how to achieve this. Third, the Patent Document 3 does not disclose any mechanism for obtaining evidence (evidence / foundation) other than self-reporting that the distributor has surely distributed.
In other words, this patent document 3 describes the distribution of a plurality of leaflets at the same time, the handling of distribution reports when the number of distributions is less than the expected number, special considerations for inexperienced distributors, No specific mechanism has been disclosed for improving the quality and reliability of posting in various practical aspects of the posting industry, such as when evidence other than filing is required.

[Challenge] Thus, in the above prior art, it is impossible to improve the quality and reliability of the posting by using the information communication technology, there is a disadvantage that.

  The object of the present invention is to improve the quality and reliability of posting using information communication technology.

[Problem solving hand stage] The present invention orderer, the contractor and which is connected via a respective terminal and a network that is operated by the distribution member server, the data to be the terminal transmission and reception in accordance with a control of the server And a database to store.
The database as the data includes the orderer who orders the posting work, the orderer who receives the order of the work, and the distributor who distributes the distribution to the area in charge according to the instructions of the orderer. Basic data having each basic information, a map of an area where the contractor can receive an order, map data having the area divided into distribution units by the distributor, and the work of the orderer Order data in which the contractor has registered the order as an order, arrangement data for associating one or a plurality of the work with the distributor for each distribution period, and distribution data for managing the distribution status for each area for each work And have.
Further, the server generates the arrangement data by urging the distributor to allocate the scheduled number to be distributed for each distribution period for the work registered in the order, and for each distributor to the distribution period for the distribution period. Arrangement processing unit that prompts distribution report for each area, and when the distribution report is transmitted from the terminal used by the distributor, the distribution status of the area is determined using the distribution report and the arrangement data And a determination processing unit that updates the distribution status of the distribution data according to the distribution status, and the distribution status when the access specifying the work is received from the terminal used by the orderer. And a map generation unit that generates a status confirmation map in which the distribution status for each area is drawn on the map .
The basic data includes basic information including a main sub designation of a main area in which the monitor is located and a sub area adjacent to the main area, for a monitor that is associated with the area and answers a question from the contractor. The arrangement processing unit has an answer to a question having an item of each distribution date and no distribution of the distribution of the work in association with the work, and monitors each area of the work as the main area; It has a distribution confirmation response process that prompts the monitor to use the area as a sub-area.
Furthermore, the map generation unit is configured to include a distribution confirmation combining process for combining drawing by the distribution status and drawing by the answer for each area .
As a result, it was to solve the above challenges.

  Considering the description of the present specification and the drawings, the meaning of the terms in each claim is interpreted, and the invention according to each claim is recognized. There are advantageous effects.

SUMMARY first distribution status confirmation system [action effect of the invention], to the work, first, the arrangement processing unit, the assignment of the predetermined number of the distributed-membered per the distribution period to distribute the arrangements representative Prompt and generate the arrangement data. Subsequently, each distribution member is urged to distribute a distribution report for each area for each distribution period. Further, when receiving the distribution report, the determination processing unit determines the distribution status of the area by using the distribution report and the arrangement data, and updates the distribution status. Then, when the map generation unit receives access specifying the work from the terminal used by the orderer, the map generation unit refers to the distribution status and draws the distribution status for each area on the map Generate a confirmation map.
In this way, the arrangement processing unit generates arrangement data including the distributor, the area, and the planned number by encouraging the person in charge of the arrangement to allocate the planned number to be distributed for each area for each distribution period. Since the determination processing unit determines the distribution status of the area using the arrangement data and the distribution report, depending on the combination of the distributor, the area, the planned number, and the contents of the distribution report, The distribution status of the area can be accurately determined. Then, the map generation unit can generate a status confirmation map according to the distribution status for each area of the work in accordance with access from the orderer terminal.
Therefore, in the present invention, not all distribution reports from distributors are used as status confirmation maps as they are, but the distribution status of the areas is determined according to the combination of the contents of the distributor, area, planned number, and distribution report. Therefore, the distribution status can be grasped accurately and precisely. In the present invention, in order to generate a situation confirmation map according to the determination result, a change in the distribution situation based on a predetermined rule is determined with respect to the progress of the work of distributing the distribution, and the determination result is determined as the situation. It can be visualized into a confirmation map. Such a status confirmation map of the present invention makes it possible to grasp the distribution status in real time and report the status to the orderer. As a result, by referring to the situation confirmation map internally, the contractor, etc., can easily check for quality assurance such as reliability of distribution and compliance with deadlines, and corrective actions (acts) and plans (plans) ) Etc. can also be made more effective. Further, the progress of work can be visualized and reported in real time to the outside of the orderer or the like.
Further, according to the present invention, the distribution confirmation reply process is a monitor in which each area of the work is a main area in response to a question having items such as each distribution date and no distribution of the distribution of the work in association with the work. In order to encourage the monitor to use the area as a sub-area, it is possible to ask the monitor located outside the distribution target and in the area adjacent to the distribution target area to confirm that it has not been distributed. Because the distribution confirmation composition process combines the drawing based on the distribution status and the drawing based on the response for each area, the distribution status can be determined based on the response of the objective monitor unrelated to the distribution report of the distributor. It can be displayed at the same time.
As described above, in the present invention, by using the main / sub designation of the monitor, the distribution status in the undistributed area is managed, the reliability of the distribution operation and the monitoring operation is improved , and the posting of the posting using the information communication technology is performed. Quality and reliability can be improved.

  One embodiment is disclosed as a mode for carrying out the invention. The present embodiment is a distribution status confirmation system used in a posting business. The present embodiment further discloses a method for confirming a distribution status using this system and a program for making a computer a distribution status confirmation system.

<1 Distribution status confirmation system, method and program>
<1.1 Map display after distribution report judgment process>
Embodiment 1 is a technique for automatically determining a distribution report from a distributor and drawing a distribution status for each area on a map to generate a status confirmation map in order to confirm the distribution status of the distribution. .

The distribution status confirmation system includes a server 10 and a database 12 as its main elements. The database 12 includes basic data 14, map data 16, order data 18, arrangement data 20, and distribution data 22.
The server 10 includes an arrangement processing unit 30, a determination processing unit 32, and a map generation unit 34.
In the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the server 10 is connected to a terminal via a network 60. The terminal is a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer. In the present embodiment, according to the user of the terminal, the orderer terminal 62 indicated by a circle, the distributor terminal 64 indicated by a square, the monitor terminal 66 indicated by a triangle, and a posting business using the present system as terminals. And a management terminal 68 indicated by a rhombus used by a person in charge of a posting business or the like.
Furthermore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 1, the database 12 includes answer data 24. The server 10 includes a database control unit 26.

First, a main configuration example and an operation example of this embodiment will be described. In this example, as shown in FIG. 1, the server 10 is connected to each terminal (orderer terminal 62, management terminal 68 and distributor terminal 64) operated by the orderer, the contractor, and the distributor and the network 60. Connected. The database 12 stores data to be transmitted / received to / from the terminal according to the control of the server 10. For example, the server 10 generates a page (screen) according to a request from the terminal and transmits it to the terminal to display data on the terminal, prompt the user of the terminal to input necessary data, and is a kind of data By prompting the user to operate a certain button or the like, data transmission / reception and content confirmation are prompted. When there is data input, button operation, etc. from the terminal, the server 10 searches the database 12 in accordance with these operations, compares the data, branches the conditions, and performs new registration or update of the necessary data. Processing is performed, a page including the processing result is generated and transmitted to the terminal.
The database control unit 26 issues an SQL sentence or the like according to the format of the database 12, for example, in response to a request from the server 10, and changes the response from the database 12 to a data format that can be handled by the program of the server 10. To pass.

  In the main configuration of the present embodiment, the basic data 14 is distributed to the orderer who orders the posting work, the orderer who receives the order of the work, and the area 84 in charge according to the instruction of the contractor. Each basic information with the distributor who distributes The posting work is to distribute the ordered number of distributions to the posts of each house located in the designated area group. In this embodiment, one work specifies a single distribution.

  The map data 16 includes a map 80 of an area where the contractor can receive an order, and the area 84 that divides the area for each distribution unit by a distributor. That is, the distributor has an area 84 in charge of distribution in advance. One distributor can be in charge of a plurality of areas 84, or a plurality of distributors that can be distributed for one area 84 can be registered. The map 80 is general map data 16 in which roads and main facilities are described, has a coordinate system such as latitude and longitude, and can be enlarged or reduced according to the scale.

  The order data 18 is data in which the orderer has registered the work instructions of the orderer, and generally includes a distribution period (order distribution period) and the number of sheets to be distributed (order number). The order data 18 usually includes designation of an area group to be distributed, but there are cases where only a general area designation is used instead of a detailed area 84 designation.

The arrangement data 20 associates one or a plurality of the operations with the distributor for each distribution period. Since the distributor is associated with the area 84, the arrangement data 20 is data that divides the number of orders received for work into the planned number 56 to be distributed to each area 84. A single task is a task of distributing a single distribution to each house when a distributor visits and distributes the area 84, and a plurality of tasks are performed when a distributor distributes to the area 84. It is a business to distribute the distribution. The distribution period of the arrangement data 20 is a period within the order distribution period, and is a distribution period determined by the contractor.
For a single work (single distribution), if the order distribution period is 7 days starting from a certain day, the order will be distributed within 7 days. In this case, the distribution period of the arrangement data 20 is a period of 6 days.
Even if the order distribution periods of a plurality of operations (multi-distributions) are not completely the same, they may overlap in some periods. In some cases, the first work is 6 days, the second work is 4 days, the third work is 3 days, and these three works overlap in 3 days of the third work. If the order distribution period overlaps in such a plurality of operations, assuming that the distribution period of the arrangement data 20 is the three days (or two days within the three days, etc.), three types of distribution items can be obtained in the same patrol. Can be distributed at the same time. In this case, the order distribution periods for the three operations are different, but the distribution periods for arrangement are the same.
As described above, the distribution period of the arrangement data 20 may be different from the order distribution period. In particular, when arranging a plurality of operations at the same time, the distribution period in the arrangement data 20 is the same even if the order distribution periods are different. It can be adjusted to be When the distribution period after arrangement is determined at the time of ordering, the order distribution period of the order data 18 may be the adjusted distribution period.

  The distribution data 22 manages the distribution status (distribution ST) for each area 84 for each operation. The distribution status is, for example, being distributed, distributed, or not distributed. Further, as a pre-stage during distribution, it may be included that the distributor is being arranged, the distributor has already been arranged, and the details of the distribution are being distributed for the first time or during the re-arrangement. Also, depending on the configuration example, distribution status with different units (keys) may be managed as necessary.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main configuration of the present embodiment includes an arrangement processing unit 30, a determination processing unit 32, and a map generation unit 34.
The arrangement processing unit 30 first generates the arrangement data 20 by encouraging the distribution of the planned number 56 to be distributed by the distributor for each distribution period for the work registered in the order. That is, the arrangement processing unit 30 arranges for the work including the distributor, the area 84, and the planned number 56 by prompting the person in charge of the arrangement to allocate the planned number 56 to be distributed for each area 84 for each distribution period. Data 20 is generated. Then, each distribution member is urged to report distribution for each area 84 for each distribution period.
Since the distribution report is for each area 84, when the same distributor is in charge of a plurality of areas 84, the distribution report for each area 84 is prompted. For example, the arrangement processing unit 30 may prompt the distribution report by transmitting a distribution report page generated in advance for each area 84 in response to the operation of the distributor terminal 64 to the distributor terminal 64.
This distribution report may be a distribution report for each operation when a plurality of operations are distributed in the same patrol, or may be a collective distribution report for a plurality of operations (distributed materials). Further, the arrangement processing unit 30 or the like may use voice guidance in addition to using a page (screen) when prompting the user of the terminal.

  The determination processing unit 32 determines the distribution status of the area 84 using the distribution report and the arrangement data 20 when the distribution report is transmitted from the terminal used by the distributor. Then, the determination processing unit 32 updates the distribution status of the distribution material data 22 according to the determined distribution status. In this way, since the determination processing unit 32 determines the distribution status of the area 84 using the arrangement data 20 and the distribution report, the combination of the distributor, the area 84, the planned number 56, and the contents of the distribution report Accordingly, the distribution status of the area 84 can be accurately determined. In particular, the distribution report from the distributor is not directly used as the status confirmation map 86, but the distribution status of the area 84 is determined according to the combination of the distributor, the area 84, the planned number 56, and the contents of the distribution report. Therefore, the distribution status can be grasped accurately and precisely.

The determination processing unit 32 can make various useful automatic determinations using the distribution report and the arrangement data 20. For example, an example of automatically determining whether or not the distribution has been completed by comparing the number 58 of reports distributed for each distribution in the distribution report and the planned number 56 of the arrangement data 20, or the arrangement data 20 The handling when the number 56 is 0 will be described later. In addition, for distribution reports from unfamiliar distributors (for example, within a certain period of time from the distributor registration date) and distribution reports that include special comments (text data) etc., encourage the person in charge to confirm details. You can also. Further, when the arrangement data 20 includes the date and time when the distribution member is requested to distribute, when the distribution report is received at a date and time shorter than the standard distribution time for each area 84, the arrangement person in charge It is also possible to automatically determine to prompt for detailed confirmation. In addition, it may be determined whether or not the distribution report does not correspond to a certain rule, and when it is confirmed, it may be automatically determined that the distribution has been completed.
The arrangement data 20 is a schedule for distribution by a distributor, and the distribution report is a result of the distribution. For this reason, the determination processing unit 32 can determine the distribution status based on the combination of the schedule and the result.

  The map generation unit 34 draws the distribution status for each area 84 on the map 80 with reference to the distribution status when receiving the access specifying the work from the terminal used by the orderer. A confirmation map 86 is generated. Since the map generation unit 34 generates the situation confirmation map 86 according to the determination result of the determination processing unit 32, the change of the distribution status based on a predetermined rule is determined for the progress of work such as leaflet distribution. It is possible to visualize the determination result, grasp it in real time, and report the situation.

Such operational effects can also be achieved by a distribution status confirmation method using a distribution status confirmation system, and a program for executing this method by using a computer.
The distribution status confirmation method includes an arrangement processing step for causing the computer to function as the arrangement processing unit 30, a determination processing step for causing the computer to function as the determination processing unit 32, and a map generation step for causing the computer to function as the map generation unit 34.

That is, the arrangement processing step generates the arrangement data 20 by urging the distribution member to distribute the scheduled number 56 to be distributed for each distribution period for the work registered in the order, and to each distribution member for the distribution period. The distribution report for each area 84 is urged every time.
The determination processing step determines the distribution status of the area 84 using the distribution report and the arrangement data 20 when the distribution report is transmitted from the terminal used by the distributor, and the distribution The distribution status of the distribution data 22 is updated according to the situation.
The map generation step refers to the distribution status when the access specifying the work is received from the terminal used by the orderer, and the distribution status for each area 84 is drawn on the map 80 A map 86 is generated.

1.1 Effect of map display after distribution report judgment processing As described above, in the main configuration example of the present embodiment relating to the distribution status confirmation system, method and program, the distribution status using the arrangement data 20 and the distribution report The distribution status can be visualized by reflecting the determination result on the status confirmation map 86, and thereby the quality and reliability of posting can be improved using information communication technology.
Since the distribution status for each area is managed by information processing using the arrangement data 20 and the distribution report, it is not necessary to examine the distribution report manually to judge, input, and update the distribution status individually. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of human error in managing the distribution status.

<Individual judgment process for batch report of multiple flyers>
Referring to FIG. 1 again, in a preferred embodiment, the arrangement processing unit 30 may include a multi-distribution arrangement process 36, and the determination processing unit 32 may include an individual determination process 38. As a result, when a plurality of types of distributions are distributed in the same tour, it is possible to improve the convenience of the distribution report and effectively prevent the occurrence of a report omission regarding the distribution report.

The multi-distribution arrangement process 36 shown in FIG. 1 assigns a plurality of types of the work for the same distribution period to the distributor as multi-distributions in the arrangement process. A multi-distribution is a distribution in a format in which a plurality of types of distributions belonging to different tasks are distributed in the same cycle, and is different from a single distribution in which a single distribution is distributed. The individual determination process 38 uses the distribution report and the arrangement data 20 to receive each of the operations included in the multi-distribution when receiving the distribution report for the multi-distribution from the distributor. The distribution status is determined individually. That is, when the individual determination process 38 receives a batch distribution report indicating that a plurality of types of distribution items have been distributed to the area 84, the individual determination process 38 refers to the arrangement data 20 and determines the distribution status of each work of each individual orderer. Judge individually.
Therefore, the distributor can make a batch report even when a plurality of types of distributions are distributed at the same time. By such information processing, it is possible to reliably prevent the occurrence of mistakes such as omission of reports that may occur when individual distribution reports are made, and to match the distribution work with the distribution reports with a high probability.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of data that can be used in this embodiment. Characteristic data items and information processing contents (functions) using the data will be described later. The data items shown in FIG. 2 are obtained by arranging the main configuration of the embodiment and items necessary for realizing a suitable function, and there are various ways of mounting them in the database 12. Examples of implementation are shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, but the data configuration example shown in FIG. 2 can also be realized by other implementation methods.

The basic data 14 includes data of a contractor (posting company), data of an orderer, and data of a distributor in units of tables.
Depending on the configuration of the embodiment, data of a monitor that answers the question of the contractor in the area 84 may be included. The monitor receives a question from the server 10 and inputs an answer to this question. The questions include whether or not a specific distribution has been distributed, and the date and time when the distribution has been confirmed.

  The map data 16 includes map data 16 for a region where posting work is performed, and a minimum unit area 84 associated with a distributor. Depending on the configuration of the embodiment, a plurality of adjacent areas 84 may be handled as the area block 82. When the area 84 is specified, the number of houses located in the area 84 can be specified, so that the number of distributable sheets can be stored in units of area 84 in advance. The distributable number 98 may store the total number of houses in the area 84 (in line of houses), the number of apartment houses (groups), and the number of detached houses (detached houses). Then, it is preferable to update the distributable number 98 in accordance with the occurrence of a new construction or moving.

  The order data 18 is data for each work, specifies a single distribution item (single distribution item), and has data items such as a distribution item name (flyer name), an order distribution period, and an order quantity. You may make it input the area 84 of distribution object. Furthermore, depending on the configuration of the embodiment, the distribution status for each area block 82 and the progress status for managing the progress of the ordered work unit may be managed.

  The arrangement data 20 is data of a single distribution when there is one distribution in the distribution period, and data of multiple distributions when there are multiple types of distributions, with the same distribution period in the arrangement as a unit. Become. The arrangement data 20 includes data items that are specified at the stage of arranging the ordered work with the distributor. That is, the arrangement data 20 includes a distribution period determined for arrangement, a distribution member for each area 84, a planned number 56 for each distribution object for each area 84, and a distribution report for each area 84. The planned number 56 is a number within the number of distributable numbers 98 in the area 84 and is a number scheduled to be distributed to the area 84. Depending on the configuration of the embodiment, the distribution status of the arrangement unit may be managed for each area 84.

  The distribution data 22 is data for each work and for each area 84, and is data for a single distribution. And it has the data item mainly generated after arrangement. Specifically, the distribution data 22 includes a distribution status for each work for each area 84 and a report number 58 for each work (for each distribution) for each area 84. The number of reports 58 is the number of sheets distributed when the number of sheets distributed in the distribution report is reported.

  3 and 4 show an example of the business flow. FIG. 3 shows data items to be prepared in advance in order to start a posting job using the distribution status management system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3, basic data 14, map data 16, and necessary fixed phrases are prepared as advance preparations. This preparation is performed by the person in charge of the contractor (posting company) who uses the management terminal 68.

As preparations for basic data 14, for each subject, name, address / contact (postal code, address data item, telephone number, mobile phone number, email address for contact, email address for password contact, etc.), standard Enter location, login ID, password, etc. The reference position is specified by, for example, the latitude / longitude of the location of the subject according to the coordinate system of the map data 16.
If user classification is provided in the basic data 14 of the posting company (ordering party), it is possible to control access to data and functions according to the role of the user. For example, the authority of the map creator who defines the area 84 in the map 80, the update authority of the basic data 14, the access authority to the arrangement data 20, and the like.
In the basic data 14 of the orderer, the distribution permission area group 88 is a data item that defines a list of areas 84 that can be distributed according to the business scope of the orderer before placing an order. The distributor and the mobile terminal ID of the monitor are used for accessing the server 10 from the mobile terminal.
The main / sub designation 90 of the monitor is designation of a main area 84A mainly handled by the monitor and a sub area 84B adjacent to the main area 84A.

As advance preparation, there is maintenance of the map data 16. Here, an area 84 is defined for each area block 82. For example, areas A-01, A-02, and A03 are defined in area block A. For each area 84, for each area 84, the boundary line on the map 80, the distributor who is usually in charge of the area 84, the number of distributable 98 of the area 84 (the number of distributable 98 per house, set, and detached house is 98 Good), the reference position of the area 84. A person in charge (map creator) having the authority to divide the area on the map data defines the area block 82 and the area 84.
The related block 92 is an area block 82 adjacent to the area block 82, and when the boundary line of the area 84 is displayed on the map 80, when the boundary line of the area 84 of the adjacent area block 82 is displayed, the work is performed. This related block 92 is designated while creating a map.
The customer map 94 is a map that is specially generated as a kind of area block 82 when it is desired to superimpose a map 80 specific to each orderer, and can be displayed superimposed on the situation confirmation map 86.

  The standard text is data of text used when data is transmitted / received to / from the orderer, distributor, and monitor. For example, a situation confirmation guide text to be transmitted to the orderer terminal 62 or to be transmitted to the distributor terminal 64. The report request sentence.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the distribution status confirmation system according to the present embodiment will be described with the virtual work of three ordering companies and distribution items 84, which are almost overlapped with the distribution area 84 as flyers 01, 02 and 06. Explain the used business flow.
The leaflet 01 and the leaflet 02 are arranged as a double distribution because the order distribution period overlaps in the distribution period I, while the leaflet 06 is arranged as a single distribution. In this arrangement, the leaflets 01 and 02 were arranged from the area A-01 of the distributor a to the area B-01 of the distributor f, the area B03 of the distributor h, and the area C-12 of the distributor k. At the time of this arrangement, the arrangement processing unit 30 refers to the distributable number 98 of each area 84 and assigns the distribution number 56 to each area 84, that is, to each distributor. Flyers 01 and 02 overlap from area A-01 to A-05 belonging to area block A, while flyer 02 is not distributed to areas B-01 and B-03, and flyer 01 is an area. In order to exclude C-12 from distribution, in this embodiment, in the arrangement data 20 of the flyers 01 and 02, the area 84 that is not distribution is included in the arrangement data 20, and the area 84 that is not distribution is scheduled. Formula 56 is set to 0.
That is, in the example illustrated in FIG. 4, the arrangement processing unit 30 sets the planned number 56 of the non-distributed area 84 to 0 when the part of the distributed area 84 does not overlap for the work having the distributed period. As for the distribution report, when the report is requested in the arrangement data 20 as a unit, a report in which the report number 58 of the leaflet 01 or 02 not distributed in the non-distributed area 84 is set to 0 may be obtained. Then, although the distributor goes around for distribution, it is possible to effectively reduce the possibility of distributing a distribution that is not distributed by mistake.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 4, upon receiving a distribution report from a distributor, the determination processing unit 32 performs information processing such as comparing the planned number 56 of each flyer with the number of reports 58 to determine the distribution status. Update distribution status. At this time, since the arrangement data 20 is generated as a unit for the leaflets 01 and 02, the distribution report is also received collectively. Therefore, in the determination processing unit 32, the individual determination processing 38 divides the batch distribution report for each work and determines the distribution status for each area 84 for each individual leaflet. For example, if the distribution of the planned number of 56 for the flyers 01 and 02 was handed over to the distributor, but only a small number of distributions were handed over to the distributor only for the flyer 02, the number of reports 58 for the flyer 02 is the planned number. Less than 56. In this case, the individual determination process 38 determines that the report number 58 of the flyer 01 is normal and has been distributed, and determines that the distribution status of the flyer 02 is being distributed while performing processing such as prompting the person in charge of the arrangement to arrange again. To do. That is, even if the distributor transmits a single distribution report for the flyers 01 and 02, the individual determination process 38 compares the distribution report with the arrangement data 20, so that the flyer 01 has been distributed and the flyer 02 has Distribution status can be updated separately during distribution and according to the distribution status.

  In this embodiment, the distribution status for each leaflet is confirmed, and when it is manually confirmed that the necessary number of distribution items have been distributed in the distribution target area 84, it is determined that the distribution is complete. In the manual judgment, for example, when the number of reports 58 that have been distributed does not reach the planned number 56, re-arrangement is performed, and when a normal report is received regarding the rearrangement, the report number 58 does not reach the planned number 56. This is a manual decision such as when there is a reasonable reason and the planned number 56 for the area 84 is decreased. Similarly, when the number of reports 58 exceeds the planned number 56, it is determined manually.

  Further, when the arrangement is completed, the contractor can view the status confirmation map 86. The map generation unit 34 refers to the distribution status when accessed from the orderer terminal 62 and generates a status confirmation map 86. For example, since the distribution is not distributed immediately after the arrangement, all the areas 84 are displayed as being distributed. When each distributor distributes, receives a distribution report, and the determination processing unit 32 determines that the distribution has been normally performed, the area 84 is displayed as being distributed.

5 and 6 show examples of pages displayed on the distributor terminal 64. FIG. FIG. 5A is a page 64P1 generated by the arrangement processing unit 30, and is a page 64P1 that prompts the distribution report to Haruko Suwa, a distribution member, and transitions to a login page when the URL of the My Page is operated. . When logged in, a list of unreported distribution works is displayed on the distribution work selection page 64P2 shown in FIG. In this example, four distribution operations are displayed, and this display is a link to a page 64P3 for reporting distribution about the distribution operation. The first work is a distribution work for Area A-01 (Honmachi) with a distribution period of July 23, the second is July 25 to 27, and the third is July 28 to July 31. On the day, the 4th is the distribution work for Area A-02 (Yamate 1.3) in the same distribution period as the 3rd. As described above, the distribution work is displayed for each distribution period and for each area 84.
Also, if there is a message from the posting company (ordering party) arrangement staff to the distributor, the text is displayed.

When the link indicating the first distribution work is operated, the determination processing unit 32 generates and displays the distribution report page 64P3 shown in FIG. In the first distribution operation, three operations for the double distribution of flyers 01, 02 and 03 are arranged. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the number of leaflets actually distributed and the other report items if necessary are input, and distribution reports are made by operating one confirmation button for all leaflets.
In the page 64P3, the planned number of distributions is the planned number 56 read from the arrangement data 20, and the input item of the actual number of distributions is the number of reports 58.
As shown in FIG. 6, even if multiple distribution items are arranged, it is sufficient for the distributor to make a single distribution report. For example, although the flyer 03 was actually distributed, It is possible to effectively prevent mistakes such as forgetting to report. Further, by prompting the user to input the number of reports 58 for each leaflet, the distribution status can be automatically determined by comparison with the scheduled number 56.

  Further, in the distribution status confirmation method described above, the arrangement processing step has a multi-distribution arrangement processing step corresponding to the multi-distribution arrangement processing 36, and the determination processing unit 32 corresponds to the individual determination processing 38. It is good to have a process. These steps can be realized by a program that drives the server 10.

1.2 Effect of individual determination process for batch report of multiple leaflets As described above, in the example of adopting the individual determination process 38 or the individual determination process step, the entire work is arranged in the same distribution period, while regarding an area 84 There are various kinds of postings unique to the posting industry, such as when receiving a batch distribution report even though a certain work is not subject to distribution, or when only one work that has already been distributed successfully has not reached the planned number of 56. Even if an unfavorable situation occurs, the individual determination process 38 makes an individual determination using the arrangement data 20, so that automatic determination can be appropriately made according to a comparison with a situation expected at the time of arrangement.
If the distribution status as the basis of the status confirmation map 86 for each orderer can be managed while using the batch distribution report, the reporter's burden of reporting can be reduced. Convenience, reliability, and immediacy can be improved.

<1.3 Composition with monitor response>
Next, an example in which the response from the monitor is used in the distribution status confirmation system will be described.
Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, the basic data 14 includes basic information about the monitor. The monitor is associated with the area 84 and answers questions from the contractor. In a preferred example, the basic data 14 may be associated in advance with the monitor and the area 84 that the monitor is responsible for. In addition, the assigned area 84 can be automatically derived from the address indicating the location of the monitor.

  In the example of handling an answer from the monitor, the determination processing unit 32 may include an answer determination process 46 that receives the answer from the monitor and associates the answer with the area 84. The answer determination process 46 determines which area 84 the monitor answer is for. The map generation unit 34 includes an answer combining process 48 for combining the answer with the situation confirmation map 86 in units of the area 84. The answer composition processing 48 further synthesizes the monitor answer to the status confirmation map 86 in which the distribution status corresponding to the distribution status is drawn. Thus, the status confirmation map 86 can display the distribution status according to the report from the distributor and the distribution status according to the response from the monitor.

Referring again to FIG. 2, the arrangement data 20 has a monitor multiple answer, and the distribution data 22 has a monitor single answer. Monitor multiple responses are data when multiple types of distributions are distributed in a single arrangement, asking questions about all of the multiple types of distributions and obtaining responses. If it is a single distribution, it is an answer for the distribution, and if it is a double distribution, it is an answer for a single distribution in the double distribution.
The answer determination process 46 associates the answer with the area 84 regardless of whether it is a monitor multiple answer or a monitor single answer.
Referring to FIG. 4 again, the question can be transmitted to the monitor before and after the distribution of the distribution is arranged, and the reply is made in parallel with the distribution report from the distributor.

7 and 8 show examples of pages displayed on the monitor terminal 66. FIG. FIG. 7A shows a page 66P1 generated by the arrangement processing unit 30, which is a page 66P1 that prompts the monitor report to monitor Natsuko Kofu, and transitions to a login page when the URL of the My Page is operated. When logged in, a list of unreported operations is displayed on a page 66P2 for selecting a monitor report shown in FIG. In this example, one monitor report is displayed, and this display is a link to a page 66P3 for answering a monitor report question. From July 23 to July 26 is the monitoring period, and during the period when the occurrence of events related to questions is investigated, responses are sent at the time of the final event occurrence or on the last day.
Also, if there is a message from the posting company (ordering party) person in charge of arrangement to the monitor, the text is displayed.
The information processing contents of the monitor terminal 66 and the server 10 are the same as the information processing for the distributor terminal 64 except that the data contents are different.

When the link indicating the monitor report is operated, the determination processing unit 32 generates and displays the answer page 66P3 shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the day when the leaflet 03 is distributed is set as the survey target, and an answer is prompted by selecting a radio button. In addition, other report items may be input as necessary.
When the confirmation button on the page shown in FIG. 8 is operated, the answer determination process 46 associates the answer from the monitor with the area 84 where the monitor is located. Then, the answer composition process 48 composes the answer in the area 84 of the situation confirmation map 86.
Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 8, for the leaflet 03, the date of distribution to the area 84 can be confirmed by the reply transmitted from the monitor separately from the distribution report by the distributor.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of the sequence of the status confirmation system of this embodiment.

In the example shown in FIG. 9, five types of distribution items from leaflet 01 to leaflet 05 are distributed to areas A-01 to A-04 in the same distribution period. The processing of monitor responses from area A-02, which is a distribution area, and areas B-03 and C-01, which are not distribution targets, will be described.
The arrangement processing unit 30 urges the person in charge of the arrangement to specify the distributor who is in charge of each area 84 and the planned number 56 for each distribution item in each area 84 and arranges the specified contents individually. To the distributor terminal 64 (process 30b, multiple distribution arrangement process step).

  Each of the distributors visits the area 84 in charge and distributes the distribution. When the distribution ends, the distributor operates the distributor terminal 64 to transmit a distribution report (process 30c). When receiving the distribution report, the determination processing unit 32 determines the distribution status of each distribution item for each area 84 based on the arrangement data 20 and the distribution report (processing 32c, individual determination processing step). For areas A-02, A-01, and A-03, the planned number 56 and the reported number 58 of the arrangement data 20 are the same for the five types of distributions. , Number-specific processing 40) determines that the distribution has been normally completed (number-specific processing step). In the example shown in FIG. 9, the distribution status management 70 by the determination processing unit 32 is executed, and the distribution status for each distribution item is updated to “distributed” for each area 84 determined to be distributed (processing 70a).

  Here, it is assumed that the report number 58 of the flyer 02 is smaller than the scheduled number 56 in the distribution report for the area A-04. In this case, the determination processing unit 32 determines that the leaflets 01 and 03 to 05 have been normally distributed, and prompts the arrangement person in charge for the leaflet 02 (processing 32d). In the example shown in FIG. 9, the person in charge of arrangement arranges again the same or different distributor (process 30d). When the re-arrangement is transmitted to the corresponding distributor terminal 64 and the distribution of the re-arranged distribution is completed, a re-distribution report is made for the leaflet 02 in area A-04 (processing 30f). The determination processing unit 32 determines the distribution status using the distribution report and the arrangement data 20 as the re-report (processing 32e, individual determination processing step), and updates the leaflet 02 as distributed (processing 70c). .

On the other hand, a monitor request has been made to the monitor terminal 66, and in the example shown in FIG. 9, the reply for the area A-02 is transmitted prior to the distribution report from the distributor (process 32a). Although not shown, an answer from the monitor is received also from area A-01 or the like. On the other hand, since areas B-03 and C-01 are not targeted for distribution, a response indicating that distribution was not completed by the end of the distribution period is received in the normal state (process 32f).
The answer management 72 (answer determination process 46) for managing the monitor answer stores the monitor answer in the database 12 in association with the area 84 (process 72a, answer determination step).

  In parallel with the process for the distribution report by the distributor and the process for the response by the monitor, a request for viewing the status confirmation map 86 is made by operating the orderer terminal 62 (process 34a). Then, the map generation unit 34 refers to the distribution status and answer of the display target area 84, generates a status confirmation map 86, and transmits it to the orderer terminal 62 (process 34b). At the time of the process 34b, since neither a distribution report nor an answer has been received, the map generation unit 34 generates a status confirmation map 86 of “distributing” for the distribution status, “unanswered” for the response, or no display (processing). 34b, answer composition processing step).

  When the browsing request for the flyer 01 is received separately from the orderer terminal 62, the map generating unit 34 refers to the distribution status and the response at that time, and generates the status confirmation map 86 (processing 34d, response synthesis processing step) ). At the time of the process 34d, there is an answer for the area A-02, but no distribution report has been received. Therefore, the status confirmation map 86 is “distributing” for the distribution status, and only the area A-02 for the response is “ The other area 84 is “not distributed” or not displayed.

  Subsequently, when a request for browsing the flyer 02 is made from the orderer terminal 62 (processing 34e), at the time of this processing 34f, the determination processing unit 32 determines the distribution report and updates the distribution status. -02, A-01 and A-03 have already been distributed. On the other hand, according to the individual determination process 38, area A-04 is being distributed and re-arranged. For this reason, the map generation unit 34 generates a status confirmation map 86 that is distributing the area A-04, has already distributed the areas A-02, A-01, and A-03, and excludes other areas as distribution targets ( Processing f34, answer composition processing step).

  When redistribution of area A-04 for flyer 02 is completed successfully and the distribution period expires, judgment processing unit 32 also responds from the monitor for areas B-03 and C-01 that are not subject to distribution. (Process 32f), for example, an answer indicating that it was not distributed is stored in the database 12 in association with the area 84 (process 72a). Thereafter, when the status confirmation map 86 is generated, based on the distribution report, it is displayed that the distribution target area 84 has been distributed and the non-distribution area 84 is not distribution target, and at the same time, based on the response from the monitor. For the distribution target area 84, the distribution date is displayed, and for the non-distribution target, an answer indicating that the distribution was not performed is displayed.

  In this way, in the example shown in FIG. 9, evidence other than the self-report of the distributor can be incorporated into the status confirmation map 86 by setting the answer by the monitor as the distribution presence / absence or distribution date.

In the distribution status confirmation method described above, the determination processing step may include an answer determination processing step corresponding to the answer determination processing 46, and the map generation step may include an answer composition processing step corresponding to the answer composition processing 48. . These steps can be realized by a program that drives the server 10.
In addition, each part and each process shown in FIG. 1 can be the process which the server 10 performs the process content, and the suitable distribution status confirmation method and program can be implement | achieved by the combination of each process.

1.3 Effect of composition with monitor response As described above, the response determination process 46 or the response determination step receives the response from the monitor and associates the response with the area 84, so that the response is based on the area 84. Can be managed. Then, when generating the map, the answer combining process 48 or the answer combining process step combines the answer with the status confirmation map 86 in units of the area 84, so that the distribution status based on the distribution report and the arrangement data 20; The response from the monitor can be combined with the situation confirmation map 86.
Accordingly, evidence other than the self-report of the distributor can be incorporated into the status confirmation map 86 when the answer by the monitor is the distribution presence / absence or distribution date. As a result, the accuracy and reliability of the situation confirmation map 86 can be further improved.

<1.4 Individual judgment based on planned number and number of reports>
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, the distribution data 22 has a report number 58 reported as the distribution report from the distributor. Then, the determination processing unit 32 uses the planned number 56 of the arrangement data 20 and the reported number 58, and when the planned number 56 is not 0 and the reported number 58 is the same as the planned number 56. The number distribution process 40 for updating the distribution status of the distribution in the area 84 reported to be distributed to the distribution completed is provided.
The number of reports 58 is the number of reports reported as distributed from the distributor, and is input for each individual distribution item even when arranging for multiple distribution items. The planned number 56 is the planned distribution number assigned to each area 84 at the time of arrangement.

  Referring again to FIG. 4, the number-by-number processing 40 first compares the planned number 56 and the report number 58 for each area 84. In this comparison, when the number of reports 58 is the same as the scheduled number 56, it is automatically determined that the distribution has been completed. If the number of reports 58 is less than the planned number 56 or more than the planned number 56, it is determined as abnormal that a judgment (re-arrangement etc.) by the person in charge of the arrangement is requested.

In the posting business, it is customary to arrange multiple distributions by setting or adjusting the distribution period in advance. Therefore, a single arrangement handles a plurality of types of distributions. Since the distribution target area 84 is different for each distribution, a situation may occur on a daily basis in which one distribution is distributed by one arrangement, but another distribution is not distributed. In order to apply information communication technology to the posting industry, it is important to deal with such business characteristics.
In this regard, in the example employing the number-specific processing 40, a data structure in which the planned number 56 is 0 is allowed. That is, a state in which 0 sheets are distributed on the computer system is allowed. The reason why the number of schedules 56 is set to 0 is that, for example, the contents of the number of schedules 56 may be empty, or the number of schedules may be set with another flag such as “scheduled number 0 flag” while the contents of the number of schedules 56 are arbitrary A data structure indicating that 56 is 0 is included.
If the schedule of distributing 0 sheets can be handled, the information processing burden when generating the arrangement data 20 is reduced, and the work burden on the arrangement staff is also reduced. At the time of arrangement, the order quantity is normally assigned to each area 84. At this time, the number of assigned sheets to each area 84 is sequentially increased from 0 to reduce the number of unassigned orders. For this reason, the area 84 to be finally distributed is initially scheduled to be distributed at 0, and if the initial value is set to 0, it will be handled in accordance with the thinking of the person in charge of arrangement, and special processing will also be performed for information processing. There is no need to do it.

  Depending on the mode of work, there is an order for roughly specifying the area, and the specific area 84 to be distributed is arbitrary. In such a case, when arranging multiple distribution items, the goal is to distribute all of the number of orders received while making multiple types of distribution as much as possible. Accordingly, the person in charge of arrangement arranges the number of distributions in a certain area 84, and performs trial and error such as canceling the allocation and changing the allocation to another area 84. In this trial and error, if the instruction to cancel the assignment is simply an operation of overwriting the input field 0 of the planned number 56 (number of assignments), it is very simple and operation mistakes can be reduced.

If it is possible to handle the schedule of distributing 0 sheets in information processing, when receiving a batch distribution report that includes multiple types of distribution items in an arrangement unit, the distribution status has been distributed as having been distributed 0 sheets. There is a possibility. Further, if both the planned number 56 and the report number 58 are 0, the comparison result is normal and it is automatically determined that the distribution has been completed. However, there are many advantages to the mechanism that can reduce the planned number 56 to zero. For this reason, the number-by-number processing 40 is not regarded as being distributed when the planned number 56 is zero.
As a result, information processing with the planned number 56 set to 0 is allowed to improve the convenience of the operation at the time of arrangement, and a batch distribution report for a plurality of types of distribution materials is provided. Even when a batch distribution report including a distribution is received, the distribution status of each distribution can be determined automatically and accurately.
In this way, the number-by-number processing 40 performs a branch process in which distribution is not completed when the planned number 56 is 0, so that the planned number 56 is set to 0, a batch distribution report, and the planned number Information processing incorporating automatic determination of distribution status by comparing 56 with the number of reports 58 can be realized. If the planned number 56 can be set to 0, the work load on the person in charge of arrangement can be reduced. And if the distribution report can be made in a lump, the burden on the distributor can be reduced. Furthermore, if the distribution status is automatically determined by comparing the planned number 56 with the report number 58, the burden on the person in charge of arrangement who confirms the distribution report can be reduced.
Moreover, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of work mistakes for each person in charge.
That is, the branching process of “number distribution process 40“ not distributed when planned number 56 is 0 ”” reduces the operational risk of the posting business using the distribution status confirmation system according to the preferred example of this embodiment. To play a role.

  Next, a system configuration example employing the data structure shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 will be described together with a specific screen example.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a master table. The master table is a table group for storing the basic data 14 and the map data 16, and mainly stores data to be registered as preparation before the operation is started. 10 and 11, PK is a primary key and FK is a foreign key. In the example shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, although it is made slightly redundant without strict normalization, even if almost the same data is registered at the time of input by using an internal serial number as a primary key, it is distinguished as different contents. I can do it. The internal serial number is a number that cannot be directly input by the user, and is referred to herein as a “management number”. Each table has data item data for each unique management number. For this reason, although the “management number” is the foreign key, the number managed by the user, such as an area number, may be used in the same manner as the foreign key.

The account master table is a table for managing basic information of the person in charge of the contractor (posting company) managed by the company information management number. The company master table manages the basic information of the contractor and stores the logo file or its location so that the logo file image can be displayed when the page is displayed on the terminal. The distributor master table stores basic information of distributors, and the monitor master table stores basic information of monitors. The monitor master table has items 1 to 5 of the main area 84A and the sub area 84B that are the main / sub designation 90. The orderer master table is a table for managing basic information about an orderer who is a customer of the posting business. In this example, one login ID is assigned to one company. When defining a plurality of login IDs for one company, a table similar to the account master table may be provided separately. Further, in order to realize the distribution permission area group 88, a distribution permission area group designation flag is provided in the orderer master table, and when this flag is on, the distribution permission area group master table is used to inform the orderer. Manages unique distribution-permitted area numbers.
The mail template master table is a table for managing a fixed sentence for each posting company, and is used when generating various pages.

The area block master table manages information in units of area blocks 82 and can manage related blocks 92. Further, when using the customer map 94 that is a map for overlaying unique to the orderer, it can be managed as a kind of this area block 82.
The area master table manages data related to the area 84 belonging to the area block 82. In this example, each area 84 has an area name (A-01, etc.), a normally assigned distributor, a distributable number of 98 (eaves, collectives, detached houses and others), and reference latitude / reference longitude.
The area boundary line master table manages the boundary lines of the area 84 for each area 84. Specifically, the positions of intersections of a plurality of straight lines that are boundary lines are stored as latitude and longitude, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 11, the transaction table is a table for managing the order data 18, the arrangement data 20, the distribution material data 22 and the response data 24. The order table includes a distribution name (flyer name), order quantity, distribution method, order distribution period (order distribution start date and order distribution end date), progress status (or completion flag), customer area block number for each order. Distribution status [order received]. The distribution method is a selection method of distribution objects such as eaves, collectives, and detached houses. The distribution status [order received] is a distribution status for all areas 84 for each order received. As described above, the order information management number is a unique serial number automatically assigned by the system, and the order number is a number input by the user.
The order receiving area table specifies the ordered area 84 for each received work, and the area block status table manages the distribution status [area block] for each area block 82 for each received order.

The arrangement table is arrangement data 20 in units of multiple distribution items. For each distributor, a report request mail transmission flag indicating whether arrangement has been made, a redistribution arrangement flag indicating whether arrangement has been made, The distribution report date and time, other report items that are text data input as necessary in the distribution report, and the distribution status [duplicate] for each area 84 for each multidistribution are managed.
The arrangement detail table is arrangement data 20 and distribution data 22 for each work (for each distribution) of a single distribution or a multi-distribution, and includes a flyer name, a distribution method, a planned number 56, and a report number 58. The distribution status [single] for each area 84 is managed for each single distribution even if it is a multiple distribution.
This distribution status [single] is a distribution status referred to when the status confirmation map 86 is generated, and is updated by the determination processing unit 32 (individual determination processing 38, number-specific processing 40, distribution status management 70). It is.
In the arrangement detail table, the distribution update date and time when the distribution status [single] is updated to distributed may be managed.

The monitor request table is a table for managing data items when a response is requested to the monitor, and manages the monitor start date and end date, survey name, survey content, progress status of the monitor response, and the like.
The monitor selection item table associates the answer item selected by the monitor with the color. When the monitor selects an answer, the status confirmation map 86 displays that the answer is the color specified in the monitor selection item table. To do.
The answer area specification table manages an area group for which monitoring is requested. When the area 84 is specified in association with the work of distributing the distribution object, the area group to be monitored may be automatically specified from the distribution target area group. When the main / sub designation 90 of the monitor is used, the area up to the area 84 adjacent to the boundary of the area group designated in the answer area designation table is to be monitored.
The monitor response table is a table that manages the responses of the monitor. For each monitor, the response (monitor selection item number and its contents), response date and time, monitor status (unanswered or answered), other report items, etc. There is.

  FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the structure of the map data 16, and is a page 68P1 used when defining an area 84 in the map 80 as a preliminary preparation. A special user called a map creator in the system of this embodiment defines an area 84 and an area block 82 by surrounding an area on the map 80 with a straight line. In the example shown in FIG. 12, an area block A centered on a station, an upper left area block B, and a lower left area block C are defined as indicated by a thick line. Furthermore, as indicated by a thin straight line, an area 84 which is a minimum unit of distribution is defined in each area block 82. In the figure, the dotted line is a road.

An area name can be selected in the display of the area 84 list on the upper right in FIG. 12, and a boundary line formed by a straight line drawn on the map 80 can be associated with the area name.
Further, when defining the boundary of the area 84, the work load is reduced if the boundary line of the adjacent area 84 is displayed. In this regard, in this embodiment, as the related block 92, the area block 82 (area blocks B and C) adjacent to the area block 82 being edited (area block A in the example shown in FIG. 12) is designated as the related block 92. By doing so, the definition work of the area | region of the area 84 can be made easy.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of a screen for advance preparation. The basic data 14 shown in FIGS. 2, 10, and 11 can be input using the basic information management page 68 </ b> P <b> 2 shown in FIG. 13 and stored in the database 12.
In the example shown in FIG. 13, a mail standard sentence for the orderer is set. The person in charge (Jiro Matsumoto) of the management terminal 68 of the posting company (ordering party) reads the page and considers and inputs the title of the guidance sentence and the above and the following sentences.
The person in charge of the management terminal 68 operates the buttons at the top of FIG. 13 to input, edit, and update company information, area information, distributor information, monitor information, and orderer information as basic information management. be able to.
The posting items (order received, report request, end report and status map) are usually operated by the person in charge of arrangement. The same applies to items for monitoring operations (orders received, situation map).

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an orderer information update screen. As the orderer information, on this page 68P3, data items of the orderer master table shown in FIG. 10 are input. When dealing with the basic latitude / longitude of the orderer, it is preferable to prompt the operation of the setting button in the relevant column so that the position on the map 80 can be selected.
In the example in which the distribution permission area group 88 is used, the designation of the distribution permission area group 88 is prompted by causing the orderer to select an area name for which distribution is permitted for display of the area names of all the areas 84.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a new order registration screen (page 68P4). When an order is received for the work of distributing the distribution, the sales person or the person in charge of arrangement registers a data item for the order. The distribution period is an order distribution period. The name of the flyer is the name of the distribution, and should be easy to understand for the contractor and distributor. The situation confirmation browsing period is a period during which the situation confirmation map 86 can be browsed.
When the customer map setting button shown in FIG. 15 is operated, the page changes to a page for selecting a map 80 specific to the orderer, a customer map 94 already created as a kind of area block 82 is selected, and the order is placed. Can be associated.

  Next, an example of a page related to the arrangement data 20 and distribution status update processing will be described as an example of arrangement of a multi-distribution item with reference to FIGS. 16 to 20. FIG. 16 is the time when the initial arrangement data 20 is generated, FIG. 17 is the distribution period and starts receiving the distribution report at 17:00 on July 30, and FIG. 18 is 17 immediately after the end of the page operation shown in FIG. : 10, FIG. 19 is the time of 13:00 on July 31 when the last distribution report on July 31 is received and the end report is processed.

Here, referring to FIG. 11 again, there are many types of distribution status. The distribution status shown in FIG. 2 that is most utilized in the present embodiment is a single distribution and is a distribution status [single] for each area 84. In the example shown in FIG. The distribution status managed in the same unit as the distribution report is a status indicating the status of the multi-distribution, and is a distribution status [multi-] managed in the arrangement table.
In addition, the distribution status [order received] (order received table) for managing the distribution status of the entire order received in units of orders and the progress status of orders received may be managed. It is also possible to manage a distribution status [area block (AB)] for managing the distribution status in units of area blocks 82.
20 is working on the page shown in FIG. 17 (July 30 17:00), working on the page shown in FIG. 18 (July 30 17:10), immediately after the page shown in FIG. The contents of each distribution status (July 31, 14:10) are shown.

FIG. 16 shows an example of a state in which an arrangement for a distributor is not yet made after an order is received. In the example shown in FIG. 16, a request for distribution work to a distributor is performed in a mode in which an electronic mail is transmitted to the distributor terminal 64.
First, in order to select the work to be arranged, the work that has been ordered in the distribution period is selected. This distribution period is an adjusted distribution period for a multi-distribution, and in the example shown in FIG. 16, the operations from leaflets 01 to 05 were searched as shown in the center right. In this arrangement page 68P5, the order quantity of each leaflet is displayed, and the unarranged quantity not assigned to each area 84 is displayed.

  In the table from the center to the bottom of the figure, an area 84 is displayed first from the left, and then has a selection radio button, a distributor number and name, and a mail check box. In this table, the areas 84 registered as distribution targets at the time of receiving an order are displayed sorted by area number. The distributor displays the distributor registered in the area master table as a normal person as an initial value. When attempting to change a distributor, select the radio button and operate the distributor search button to select the distributor to be changed. The mail check box is turned on from the initial state, and a distribution request mail is sent to the distributor who is turned on.

  The distributable number 98 is the distributable number 98 pre-registered in each area master table. In this embodiment, the number of houses indicating the number of houses in the entire area, the distributable number 98 only for collective housing, There are 98 distributable numbers and 98 other distributable numbers. When the total number of distributables 98 for the set, detached house, and others is totaled, the distributable number is equal to the eaves. The number of distribution instructions is the planned number 56 of the arrangement data 20, and is an instruction to distribute to the distributor. In the example shown in FIG. 16, for example, for Area A-01 Honmachi, 300 leaflets 01, 300 leaflets 02, 120 leaflets 03 in an apartment, 300 leaflets 04, and 170 leaflets in a detached house. It is an instruction with a sheet.

When the all-selection ON is operated, in the row direction (horizontal direction in the figure), the number 98 that can be distributed in the eaves is input to all the leaflets, and in the column direction (vertical direction in the figure), the total number 98 that can be distributed in the eaves in line Input in area 84. This function can reduce the input work of the person in charge of arrangement.
For the areas A-04, A-05, D-13, and D-14 of the flyer 01, it is impossible to input the planned number 56 because the area 84 is a distribution permission area group 88 for the orderer of the flyer 01. This is because distribution is impossible. As shown in FIG. 16, the arrangement processing unit 30 disables the input of the scheduled number 56 to the non-distributable area as the permitted area group process 42.

The person in charge of the arrangement operates the management terminal 68 to designate a distributor for all areas 84 to be distributed, and inputs the number of distribution instructions (scheduled number 56) for all leaflets in the target area 84. When the setting button is operated in this state, the arrangement processing unit 30 transmits a distribution request mail to the distributor.
If you want to calculate the unarranged number in the middle of inputting the planned number 56, prepare a calculation button, and when the calculation button is operated, add the number of distribution instructions for each leaflet and calculate the value. It may be possible to subtract from the number of orders and display the subtraction result as an unarranged number.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an end report screen before a redistribution instruction, and is a page 68P6 for processing a distribution report from a distributor. The example shown in FIG. 17 is the situation at 17:00 on July 30th.
The person in charge of the posting company's arrangement (completion report) confirms the distribution report received from the distributor A. Haruko Suwa in area A-01 received at 14:35 on July 30. In the leaflets 01, 02, 03 and 05, the planned number 56 and the number of reports 58 are the same, but in the leaflet 04, the number of reports 58 is 292, which is eight less than the 300 sheets of the planned number 56. For this reason, the flyer 04 is rearranged. Check the re-arrangement email check box with 8 re-arrangement instructions.
Distribution report from Natsumi Hakuba, a distributor in Area A-04, is 0 for non-distributable flyers 01, 0 for non-distributed flyers 02, and 58 reports for flyers 03, 04, and 05. there were.
In addition, check the confirmation check boxes for areas A-01 and A-04 that received the distribution report.
When the setting button shown in FIG. 17 is operated in this state, the arrangement processing unit 30 confirms the contents of the distribution report and transmits a re-arrangement mail.

Here, referring to the distribution status [single] in FIG. 20, the two distribution reports shown in FIG. 17 are received, and the distribution status [single] is the initial state at the time of arrangement in a state where the distribution reports are not finalized. The area A-04 of the leaflet 01 cannot be distributed (designation of the distribution permission area group 88), the area A-04 of the leaflet 02 is reserved for 0 and is not distributed, and the others are being distributed. In the state shown in FIG. 17, in particular, when the area A-01 of the leaflet 04 is rearranged and the contents of other distribution reports are finalized, as shown in FIG. The distribution report of the duplicate distribution from Haruko Suwa on July 30 at 14:35 on July 30 is judged for each flyer, and while the area A-01 of the flyer 04 is being distributed, other flyers are updated.
As described above, in this embodiment, the server 10 receives the information about the distribution status (distribution status [single]) (distribution status [single]) for each area without direct user operation. As processing, by comparing the arrangement data 20 (for example, the planned number 56) and the report number 58, it is possible to determine the contents of such a large amount of distribution status [single]. That is, the user individually inputs a distribution status [single] that is a number obtained by multiplying several tens to several hundreds of areas 84 and a plurality of types of distribution items, and confirms the distribution report without confirmation. The distribution status necessary for generating the status confirmation map 86 can be managed only by this. Therefore, it is possible to completely prevent the occurrence of human error that may occur when managing hundreds of individual statuses manually, and automatically manage the distribution status by information processing that compares the arrangement data 20 and the distribution report. be able to.

FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an order receiving screen, which is a page 68P7 showing the situation on July 30 at 17:10.
When the distribution report of 120 sheets in area A-01 and 50 sheets in area A-04 of flyer 03 is registered as distributed by the operation illustrated in FIG. 17, as illustrated in FIG. As a result, the distribution status [Single] has been distributed in all areas 84 of the leaflet. Therefore, the determination processing unit 32 assumes that the distribution status [order received] has been distributed. Then, as shown in FIG. 18, when the distribution status [order received] has been distributed and the progress status [order received] is not completed, a completion button is displayed in the completion operation column to prompt confirmation of completion of the entire work relating to the flyer. To do. When this completion button is operated, the progress status [order received] is completed, and the display in the completion operation column is completed.
In addition, when the distribution to all the areas 84 that have already been scheduled for the leaflets 01 and 02 has been distributed and confirmed by the person in charge of the arrangement, and an operation to the effect of completion has been performed, the completion operation column displays completion. Is done.
In the example shown in FIG. 18, since the distributed area 84 remains in the leaflet 04 and the leaflet 05, the completion button is not displayed.

FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an end report screen after a re-arrangement instruction, and is a page 68P8 showing the situation on July 31 at 14:00. Since the distribution report dated 10:56 on July 31 has been received for the area A-01 of the leaflet 04 that has been rearranged, the determination processing unit 32 confirms this distribution report, and the planned number of rearrangements 56 And the number of reports 58 are the same, it is determined that the distribution has been normally completed. Further, when confirmation is made by the person in charge of arrangement, as shown in FIG. 20, the determination processing unit 32 sets the distribution status [single] of the area A-01 of the flyer 04 to be distributed. Since the distribution has been completed in 84, the distribution status [order received] is further updated to distributed.
Then, when the order registration / search page 68P7 is requested, the determination processing unit 32 displays a completion button in the completion operation column of the leaflet 04 (not shown), and prompts an operation to complete the order. When the completion button is operated, the progress status [order received] is updated from distributed to completed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 20, when the distribution status [duplicate] is used, it is managed whether the distributor has made a distribution report on the distribution work of the single distribution or the multi-distribution, whether it is being re-arranged, or has been reported. can do. The distribution status [single] can manage the distribution status for each leaflet in each area 84. The distribution status [area block] can manage the distribution status of each area block 82, and in particular, can manage information on whether or not the distribution has been made to all the distribution target areas in the area block 82. The distribution status [order received] can manage the distribution status of each order. Although the progress status [order received] may be a completion flag, it is possible to manage whether or not the ordered work is completed by the final confirmation of the person in charge of arrangement.

FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a new registration screen for a monitor job. FIG. 21 is an independent survey unrelated to distribution orders, and investigates the distribution date of public information in the city.
The person in charge of the posting company uses the management terminal 68 to designate the survey period, set the survey name as a publicity distribution survey, and ponder and fill in the survey text for the monitor. In the selectable items, here, options that are distributed before 26 days, from 26 to 30 days, and not distributed by 30 days are prepared, and are associated with predetermined colors, respectively.
The orderer name is the orderer of the monitor, and if it is an in-house survey, the posting company is selected. You can specify the status confirmation viewing period as the number of days from the survey start date. Then, the investigation target area 84 where the monitoring is performed is designated. When using the monitor main / sub designation 90, the area 84 adjacent to the boundary of the area group designated by the designation of the survey area 84 shown in FIG. 21 is selected.
By conducting a survey as shown in Fig. 21, we investigate the objective situation, such as whether the municipal publicity is actually distributed to each house, whether it is distributed on the scheduled date, the regional variation, etc. be able to.

  Next, the information processing contents of this embodiment will be described using a flowchart.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for managing the distribution status [single] based on the distribution report using the arrangement data 20 (scheduled number 56) and the report number 58.
When receiving the distribution report (step S1), the determination processing unit 32 stores the distribution report date and other report items in the arrangement table and the number of reports 58 in the arrangement detail table. When the setting button of the page 68P6 is operated in a state where the confirmation column check box is turned on on the end report page 68P6 shown in FIG. 17, the distribution report is first identified (step S2). ). For example, the leaflet 01 is selected for the distribution report on July 30, 14:35 in area A-01. In this flyer 01, the planned number 56 is not 0 (step S3), the planned number 56 is 300, and the number of reports 58 is equal to 300 (step S4). Step S5, number-specific processing step).
If there is a next distribution (step S8), the process returns to step S2 to select the next distribution. Here, the leaflet 02 is selected, and the process is repeated sequentially.

When the report number 58 is less than the planned number 56 as in the distribution report flyer 04, the distribution status [single] is being distributed (number-by-number processing step), and re-arrangement processing is performed.
When the planned number 56 is 0 as in the leaflet 02 of area A-04 shown in FIG. 17 (step S3), the distribution status [single] is excluded from the distribution target (number-specific processing step).

When one or more distribution statuses [single] are updated for one distribution report, the distribution status [multiple] is updated (step S9). In this example, if the initial value is being distributed and all the distribution items included in one distribution report have been distributed, the distribution status [duplicate] is updated to distributed.
Furthermore, when all the areas 84 of the area block 82 including the area 84 related to the distribution report have been distributed due to the update of the distribution status [single], as shown in FIG. ] Is updated (step S10).
Subsequently, when the distribution status [single] is updated to distribute all the areas 84 of the distribution, the distribution status [order] is updated to distributed as shown in FIG. .

  The branches of steps S3 and S4 shown in FIG. 22 are an example of information processing of the individual determination process 38 and the number-by-number process 40 in this embodiment, and are number-by-number processing steps in the method shown in the flowchart.

  In step S4, when the number of reports 58 is less than the planned number 56, re-arrangement shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, when the check button of the re-arrangement mail is turned on and the setting button in FIG. 17 is operated, an e-mail requesting redistribution to the distributor is transmitted. Then, the arrangement processing unit 30 turns on the redistribution arrangement flag in the arrangement table, generates a new arrangement table, and arranges the arrangement information management number for identifying the arrangement table for re-arrangement as the original (redistribution) arrangement information management. Store in the number. Thereby, a plurality of arrangement tables related to re-arrangement and the contents of the arrangement detail table can be repeatedly managed, and the distribution status [single] for each re-arrangement can be managed.

On the other hand, since it is cumbersome to individually refer to a plurality of distribution statuses [single] for each re-arrangement with respect to the single area 84 and the distribution object when the status confirmation map 86 is generated, the final distribution is performed by the re-arrangement. When it is done, it is necessary to update the distribution status [single] of the arrangement detail table that is not the arrangement for re-arrangement to “distributed” and refer to the arrangement details table for re-arrangement when referring to map generation. It is better to have no mechanism.
In this way, by devising the configuration of the arrangement data 20, it is possible to stably generate the situation confirmation map 86 while individually managing the situation of the rearrangement.

  The individual determination process 38 and the number-specific process 40 may be processes that do not update the distribution status [single] for the distribution report for the rearrangement, for the distribution with the planned number 56 being zero.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for generating the status confirmation map 86 with reference to the distribution status [single], and FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of processing for drawing the monitor mark 96 with reference to the monitor answer. It is.
25 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the orderer's screen for browsing the status confirmation map 86, FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the map data 16, and FIG. 27 is a situation during the distribution period. FIG. 28 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the confirmation map 86, and FIG. 28 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the status confirmation map 86 after the distribution period is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 23, in order to generate the situation confirmation map 86, first, the background map 80 is read at a predetermined position (step S21). In the example shown in FIGS. 12 and 26, the map 80 as the background is a map 80 on which roads, railway lines and stations indicated by dotted lines are drawn. Subsequently, based on the coordinates of the map 80 and the like, the area 84 within the display range is specified (step S22).

Then, with reference to the distribution permission area group 88, it is confirmed whether or not the display range area 84 is a distribution permission area (step S23). The non-distributable area 84 is not drawn as the area 84, and the area drawing color is not used (step S28, target range processing step).
In the distribution permission area 84, the distribution status [single] in the arrangement data 20 (arrangement detail table) is further referred to, distribution 1 being color 1 (step S25), distribution in progress being color 2 (step S26), and distribution. The non-target is color 3 (step S27).

  Further, referring to the area boundary master table of the area 84 (step S29), the area 84 is drawn with the selected color (step S30). Then, until the processing for the area 84 within the display range is completed, the processing from step S22 to S30 is repeated, thereby drawing all the areas 84 in the display range at the scale. Drawing examples of the area 84 are shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 25, in order to synthesize a monitor response with the status confirmation map 86, first, an area 84 within the display range is specified (step S41). And the determination process part 32 specifies the monitor in charge of the said area 84 (step S42, answer determination process process). For example, the arrangement processing unit 30 refers to the answer area designation table shown in FIG. 11 from the area number of the area 84 and identifies the monitor request management number, and identifies the monitor number from the monitor request management number of the monitor request table.
Subsequently, the determination processing unit 32 refers to the monitor answer table shown in FIG. 11 and identifies the monitor answer number (question number) and the monitor answer content (question text data) from the monitor number (step S43). ).

Then, the determination processing unit 32 selects a color according to the monitor answer number (item) (step S44), and generates a monitor mark 96 (step S45). In the example shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, the monitor mark 96 is a balloon-type mark. Then, the display position of the monitor mark 96 is obtained and drawn on the status confirmation map 86 to compose the monitor's answer (step S46, answer composition process 48). The display position of the monitor mark 96 may be a reference position of the area 84, a monitor position, a position based on a position rule predetermined for display convenience, or the like. Since the position rule does not necessarily indicate that the entire area 84 can be displayed in the display range, the position rule is set to the center position in the area of the displayed area 84, and the monitor mark 96 is overlapped when there are a plurality of monitors in the same area 84. Matching method.
The processing is repeated until the processing of all the monitors in the area 84 is completed (step S47), and further, the processing is repeated until all the areas 84 in the display range are completed (step S48).

With the method shown in FIG. 23, the distribution status at a certain date and time can be used as the status confirmation map 86. Further, by managing the “distributed update date and time” using, for example, the arrangement detail table shown in FIG. 11, the date and time when the individual areas of the individual distribution items have been distributed can be managed permanently. Therefore, the status confirmation map 86 can be animated by using the distributed update date and time.
In this case, in a cycle such as every 6 hours, the area 84 having the date / time before the date / time from the distribution start date / time as the distributed update date / time is searched, the searched area is changed to distributed at the date / time, By repeating the process of adding 6 hours to the date and time and searching the distributed area 84 again, a status confirmation map 86 every 6 hours can be automatically generated. It is possible to display an animation that changes every moment.
The distribution update date / time is preferably the date / time of the distribution report or the date / time of confirmation by the person in charge of arrangement.

Referring to FIG. 25, when the orderer logs in at orderer terminal 62, page 62P1 of a list of maps that can be browsed is displayed. When a leaflet is selected from the list of the situation confirmation map 86, the situation confirmation map 86 of the leaflet is displayed.
As shown in FIG. 26, the page 62P2 displaying the status confirmation map 86 shows bibliographic items of distribution status and bibliographic items of monitor status on the right side. In FIG. 26, for the convenience of display in black and white binary values, diagonal lines and numerical values are used in the legend.
In the legend of the distribution status, those not subject to ordering are areas where the area 84 is not defined, such as mountains, seas, lakes, farmland, etc. where there are no houses. In addition, areas that cannot be distributed by the contractor are also excluded from orders.
As shown in FIG. 26, the division of the area 84 is shown with the line on the map 80 used as a background. In the example shown in FIG. 26, the left area 84 is not distributed.

In FIGS. 27 and 28, the map 80 serving as the background is deleted for easy understanding of the display.
Referring to FIG. 27, the situation confirmation map 86 includes an area 84 in which white is being distributed and a hatched area 84 in a region to be distributed. Then, there are an area 84 that has been distributed and the distribution date responses from the monitors overlap each other, and an area 84 that has not yet received the monitor responses. Furthermore, although it is being distributed in the distribution report, there is an area 84 where a reply that it has been distributed from the monitor.
FIG. 28 shows an example of the status confirmation map 86 at the time when the distribution period ends and the work is completed. The distribution target area 84 is all distributed, and the response date of distribution by the monitor is also synthesized. Further, in the area 84 that is not a distribution target, a reply that the monitor has not distributed is displayed. As a result, it is possible to easily display that the information has been distributed to the area 84 to be distributed and that it has not been distributed to the area 84 that should not be distributed.

  Further, when the customer map is set for the orderer, the map generation unit 34 designates in advance by the orderer so as to overlap the boundary line of the area 84 of the situation confirmation map shown in FIGS. Display a map (boundary line).

・ 1.4 Effect of individual judgment by the planned number and the number of reports As mentioned above, when the number-specific process 40 or the number-specific process step has a planned number 56 of 0, the distribution report of the distribution is not distributed. It is possible to improve the work efficiency and reliability of the person in charge of arrangement by allowing the scheduled number 56 to be zero, and when the number of reports 58 is the same as the number of scheduled 56, the distribution report was made. Since the distribution status of the distribution item in the area 84 is updated to the distribution status, a normal distribution that does not require manual confirmation can be extracted, the distribution status can be automatically determined, and the distribution status can be updated. . For this reason, the report of the distribution unit can be automatically divided into the distribution unit.

<1.5 Distribution permitted areas>
Next, the distribution permission area group will be described again.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, in a preferred example, the basic data 14 includes a distribution permission area group 88 designated in advance by the orderer. In this example, the arrangement processing unit 30 includes a permission area group process 42 that controls the assignment of the orderer outside the distribution permission area group 88 for the work. The map generation unit 34 includes a target range process 44 for controlling the target range of the situation confirmation map 86 in the distribution permission area group 88.

  2 and 3 again, there is a distribution permission area group 88 as a characteristic data item for the basic data 14 of the orderer. In the example shown in FIG. 10, for an orderer who is designated as a distribution permission area group 88, the distribution permission area group designation flag of the orderer master table is turned on, and the distribution permission area group 88 is set in the distribution permission area group master table. The included area 84 is designated.

  The distribution permission area group 88 can receive the designation using, for example, the orderer information update page 68P3 shown in FIG. The person in charge of the posting company uses the management terminal 68 to operate the display of the area name to designate permission (black / white reversal) or non-permission (no reversal) for each area. In the example shown in FIG. 14, areas A-02, A-03, A-05, and B-01 are designated for permission. If the distribution permission area group 88 has been designated in the past, the server 10 displays the area name in black and white or reversed according to the designation.

  Referring to FIG. 4 again, the distribution permission area group 88 is used at the time of arrangement and when the status confirmation map 86 is generated, and at the time of arrangement, the permission area group processing 42 performs the distribution permission for the work of the orderer. The allocation outside the area group 88 is controlled to be impossible. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 4, if the orderer of the flyer 01 designates the areas C-11 and C-12 as not permitted to be distributed by the designation of the distribution permission area group 88, Arrangement for i and distributor k is disabled. In order to control the arrangement to be impossible, when displaying the list of areas 84 on the arrangement page, it is preferable to display that distribution is not permitted or to have a screen configuration that makes arrangement impossible. .

  In the example shown in FIG. 16, the leaflet 01 is not permitted to be distributed in areas A-01, A-05, D-13, and D-14, and the arrangement processing unit 30 determines that the permitted area group processing 42 The input field for the number of distribution instructions in the area 84 of 01 is disabled, and the number of distribution instructions cannot be input. When the number of distribution instructions is not input, the planned number 56 may be omitted, or the planned number 56 may be set to zero.

Further, when the distribution permission area group 88 is designated, unique control can be performed in the generation of the situation confirmation map 86. In the example shown in FIG. 23, the target range process 44 processes the area 84 that cannot be distributed in the distribution permitted area group 88 as a drawing-excluded target and without displaying the color displayed in the area 84 (step S28). . In this case, nothing is displayed in the non-distributable area 84 in the distribution permission area group 88. If the distribution-permitted area group 88 is a distribution-permitted area 84 that is not a distribution target in this work (for example, the planned number 56 is 0) (step S27), the area 84 is displayed in a specific color. draw. For example, the area 84 displayed as “not subject to distribution” in FIG. 28 is an area 84 that is permitted to be distributed in the distribution permission area group 88 but is not distributed in the order receiving operation.
Further, when the non-distributable area 84 in the distribution permission area group 88 is to be monitored, the boundary line of the area 84 may be displayed for the non-distributable area 84 as well.

-1.5 Effects of the distribution permission area group As described above, the permission area group processing 42 or the permission area group processing step controls the assignment of the orderer outside the distribution permission area group 88 so as to be impossible. Arrangement of distribution in the area 84 instructed by the orderer to be impossible in advance can be effectively prevented by using information communication technology. At the time of generating the map, the target range processing 44 or the target range processing step controls the target range of the situation confirmation map 86 in the distribution permission area group 88. Thus, the map 80 in an appropriate range can be generated, and confirmation can be facilitated.
That is, the distribution permission area group 88 that is different from the instruction in the individual order can be specified in advance for each contractor, and the arrangement to the non-distributable area 84 can be prohibited by the information processing for the individual work. A rule that distribution cannot be distributed in relation to the business scope of the contractor is incorporated into the information processing, ensuring the quality of distribution, and further reducing the burden of confirmation at the time of arrangement. In particular, when arranging a multi-distributed item, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of a mistake that the person in charge of arrangement arranges in an area 84 that should not be arranged.
Then, by making the non-distributable area 84 out of the status confirmation map 86, an easy-to-read map 80 can be generated. Thus, the information processing of the present embodiment using the distribution permission area group 88 can improve the certainty of arrangement and the visibility of the map.

<1.6 Main / sub designation of monitor area>
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 again, in this embodiment, the main / sub designation 90 can be used as the basic information of the monitor in order to extract the monitor to which an answer should be requested in relation to the distribution.
In this example, for the monitor in which the basic data 14 is associated with the area 84 and answers a question from the contractor, the main area 84A where the monitor is located and the sub area 84B adjacent to the main area 84 It is preferable to have basic information including the sub-designation 90.
The arrangement processing unit 30 associates the work 84 with each area 84 of the work as a main area 84A in response to a question having items such as each distribution date and no distribution of the distribution of the work in association with the work. It is preferable to provide a distribution confirmation reply process 50 that prompts the monitor to monitor the area 84 as the sub area 84B. Furthermore, it is preferable that the map generation unit 34 includes a distribution confirmation combining process 54 that combines the drawing based on the distribution status and the drawing based on the answer for each area 84.

  2 and 3 again, there is a main / sub designation 90 as a characteristic data item for the basic data 14 of the monitor. In the example shown in FIG. 10, area numbers 1 to 5 of the main area 84A and the sub area 84B of the monitor master table are designated. The main / sub designation 90 is designation of a main area 84A where the monitor is located and a sub area 84B adjacent to the main area 84A. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the monitor master table has data items for the main area 84A and the sub area 84B, and the area number which becomes the main area 84A and the area number group which becomes the sub area 84B group are managed by this item. . Further, as a data item from area 1 to area 6, area 1 may be handled as main area 84A. The main area 84A can be automatically calculated from the address of the monitor and the basic latitude / longitude, and when the main area 84A is determined, the sub area 84B can be automatically extracted.

Referring to FIG. 4 again, the main / sub designation 90 is used for the monitor answer. The distribution confirmation reply process 50 prompts a reply by first transmitting a question having items of each distribution date and no distribution of the distribution of the work to a predetermined monitor. Subsequently, when selecting the monitor, the monitor having each area 84 of the work as the main area 84 and the monitor having the area 84 as the sub area 84 are urged. A monitor having the area 84 as the main area 84A is a monitor that resides or is located in the area 84. There are two types of monitors in which the distribution target area 84 is the sub-area 84B. The first is a monitor in which the distribution target area 84 adjacent to the area 84 is the main area 84A. This monitor uses the main area 84A. Already extracted using. The second is a monitor whose main area 84A is a non-distribution area 84, and is a monitor that resides or is located in a non-distribution area 84, but an adjacent area 84 is a distribution target.
That is, in order to extract a monitor that resides in an area 84 that is not a distribution target in an area 84 having a boundary line surrounding the distribution target area group as a boundary line, The designation of the sub area 84B is used.

  FIG. 21 shows an example of an order registration page 68P9 for monitoring work when making a monitoring request unrelated to work, but the page 68P9 having the same configuration can also be used for a monitor request associated with work. In that case, it may be configured to prompt the user to specify related work before transitioning to the page 68P9 shown in FIG.

For example, the distribution confirmation response process 50 prompts the person in charge of the posting company to input a question item in order to send a question having items of each distribution date and no distribution of the distribution of the work to a predetermined monitor. In the example shown in FIG. 21, the server 10 transmits the page 68P9 shown in FIG. 21 to the management terminal 68, so that the survey period, the survey name, the description of the survey content, the answer selection item, the orderer name, and the status confirmation view The user is prompted to specify the period, the survey area 84, and remarks.
When associated with the work, the name of the orderer is automatically displayed, the status confirmation browsing period is automatically displayed with the same period as the distribution status display, and the planned number 56 is one or more for the survey area 84 The area 84 may be displayed in reverse (selected state) in advance.

In this example, when the map is generated, the distribution confirmation combining process 54 combines the drawing based on the distribution status and the drawing based on the answer for each area 84.
As shown in FIG. 24, the colors are classified according to the answer selection items (step S44), the monitor mark 96 indicating the monitor answer is generated (step S45), and the position where the mark is displayed on the status confirmation map 86 is specified. Then, the monitor mark 96 of the color is synthesized at the position (step S46). The display position of the monitor mark 96 is preferably a position where the relation with the area 84 can be easily understood, such as a reference position such as the center of the area 84 or the location of the monitor.

  When the monitor marks 96 are combined in this way, the monitor marks 96 are displayed on the status confirmation map 86 as shown in FIG. In particular, when a monitor response is requested for the non-distributed area 84 in the main / sub designation 90, it is possible to display a response that the distribution was not performed in the non-distributed area as shown in FIG. .

1.6 Effect of main / sub designation of monitor area As described above, the distribution confirmation response processing 50 or the distribution confirmation response processing step is associated with the above-mentioned work, and items of each distribution date and no distribution of the distribution of the work. An area that is not a distribution target and that is adjacent to the distribution target area 84 is urged to answer a monitor having the area 84 as the main area 84A and a monitor with the area 84 as the sub area 84B. The distribution confirmation composition processing 54 or the distribution confirmation composition processing step is performed for each area 84 with the drawing based on the distribution status. In order to synthesize the drawing based on the answer, the distribution status is based on an objective monitor answer unrelated to the distribution report of the distributor. It is possible to display the distribution status at the same time.
In this way, the status of undistributed areas can be managed, and the reliability of distribution work and monitoring work can be improved.
