Description

The present invention relates to an information processing system.

In recent years, advances in computer networking technology have increased the opportunities for various types of information to be exchanged on networks in the form of telegrams. Against this background, the exchange of telegrams is increasing in various operations at financial institutions. For example, in the foreign exchange business, messages are exchanged between financial institutions using SWIFT (Society for World Wide Internet Telecommunication) telegram and Bank of Japan telegram (hereinafter collectively referred to as telegram). There are multiple types of telegrams, and the way they are used differs depending on the type of telegram. In addition, the contents to be entered are defined for each field, and in the case of foreign remittance, funds are transferred based on the information such as sender, remittance bank, receiving bank, recipient, currency, amount, etc. described in the telegram. Businesses such as sending telegrams to other financial institutions are being carried out. Furthermore, depending on the telegram, there is also a free-format telegram, which is used for correction and notification of the telegram.

Patent No. 5228325

The work caused by telegrams is diverse, and it is difficult for one department to process all telegrams. Therefore, the server identifies the department in charge of each telegram by performing analysis based on the type of the telegram and the input contents described in the telegram. Text mining by keyword extraction is typically used for telegram analysis, and the individual rules used to identify the department in charge are called "delivery rules" or simply "rules". In order to realize such a message delivery process, the server can determine the delivery destination of each message according to, for example, a pseudo code indicating a message delivery procedure as shown in FIG.

The telegram is composed of one or more fields, and the contents to be described are defined for each field. However, the description may differ depending on the caller (for example, "XYZ Bank", "XYZBank", "XYZBK", "XYZ-BK", etc.), and accurate analysis cannot be performed depending on the text mining. The telegram may be delivered to someone other than the department in charge. In that case, the misdelivered department confirms the contents of the telegram and transfers it to the original department in charge, but the administrative load increases accordingly.

In addition, it is difficult to define absolute rules because the content of the telegram changes daily due to external factors such as contracts. Therefore, the hurdle to delete the rules that are no longer used from the viewpoint of the range of influence becomes high. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, when all the conditional statements corresponding to each distribution rule are sequentially arranged, the program code. Is redundant, and processing efficiency may decrease.

Furthermore, various rules exist without being conscious of the order between the rules, which leads to a decrease in maintainability. For example, when adding a new rule, it is necessary to determine a suitable position for inserting the conditional statement of the rule in the program as shown in FIG.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a message distribution technique for realizing one or more of suppression of erroneous distribution, improvement of code efficiency, and improvement of maintainability.

In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention relates to an information processing device having a telegram distribution unit that distributes a telegram to be distributed according to a rule hierarchy.

According to the present invention, one or more of suppression of misdelivery, efficiency improvement of code, and improvement of maintainability can be realized.

In the following embodiment, an information processing device such as a server for exchanging a message between a network and a user terminal is disclosed. To outline an embodiment described later, the information processing apparatus distributes a telegram to be distributed according to a rule hierarchy composed of distribution rules layered based on the priority given to each distribution rule. Here, the rule hierarchy is reconstructed according to the dynamically adjusted priority, and the message to be delivered is output to the delivery destination determined by searching the rule hierarchy by, for example, the depth-first method. To.

First, an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information processing system 10 includes an information processing device 100, a user terminal 200, and a network 300.

For example, the information processing device 100 transfers various messages received from a source server (not shown) on the network 300 to a destination such as a user terminal 200 or an application according to a rule hierarchy, and also transfers the messages received from the user terminal 200. Transfer to a destination server (not shown) via network 300.

The information processing device 100 is typically implemented by a server and may have, for example, a hardware configuration as shown in FIG. That is, the information processing device 100 includes a drive device 101, an auxiliary storage device 102, a memory device 103, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 104, an interface device 105, and a communication device 106 that are interconnected via the bus B.

Various computer programs including programs that realize various functions and processes described later in the information processing apparatus 100 may be provided by a recording medium 107 such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory). When the recording medium 107 storing the program is set in the drive device 101, the program is installed in the auxiliary storage device 102 from the recording medium 107 via the drive device 101. However, the program does not necessarily have to be installed on the recording medium 107, and may be downloaded from any external device via a network or the like. The auxiliary storage device 102 stores the installed program and also stores necessary files and data. The memory device 103 reads and stores a program or data from the auxiliary storage device 102 when a program start instruction is given. The CPU 104, which functions as a processor, executes various functions and processes of the information processing device 100 as described later according to various data such as a program stored in the memory device 103 and parameters necessary for executing the program. The interface device 105 is used as a communication interface for connecting to a network or an external device. The communication device 106 executes various communication processes for communicating with a terminal or an external device. However, the information processing apparatus 100 is not limited to the hardware configuration described above, and may be realized by any other appropriate hardware configuration.

The user terminal 200 may be, for example, any information processing device having a communication function such as a personal computer, a smartphone, or a tablet. For example, the user operates a mail application, a business application, or the like on the user terminal 200, and confirms a telegram received from the information processing device 100. For example, if the received message is erroneously delivered, the user terminal 200 may transfer the message to the correct destination.

The network 300 may be, for example, a public network such as the Internet and / or a dedicated network. Specifically, the network 300 may be SWIFT, the Bank of Japan Net, or the like, and each server of an overseas financial institution and / or a domestic financial institution is connected to the network 300.

Next, an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the information processing apparatus 100 has a distribution rule management unit 110 and a telegram distribution unit 120.

The distribution rule management unit 110 manages a rule hierarchy composed of layered distribution rules. For example, the rule hierarchy may have a tree structure as shown in FIG. 5 without limitation, and the highest hierarchy (1) has distribution rules 1, 2, 3, ... N. , One or more distribution rules branching from each distribution rule are in the next layer (2), and the distribution rules are similarly combined in a tree shape. Each delivery rule is given a priority, and in the illustrated specific example, the delivery rule 1 is given a priority of 90%, the delivery rule 2 is given a priority of 70%, and the delivery rule 3 is given a priority. Is given a priority of 60% and so on. As shown, delivery rules are ordered in descending order of priority within each hierarchy. Typically, there are a plurality of types of telegrams, and the distribution rule management unit 110 maintains a rule hierarchy for each telegram type. By layering the distribution rules in this way, when the distribution rules are added, the position or order in which the distribution rules should be inserted can be easily determined, and the distribution rules are deleted. In this case, the distribution rule can be easily specified, and the maintenance of the distribution rule can be facilitated.

For example, the priority is information for determining the priority of the application order of the distribution rules in the same hierarchy, and is calculated based on the correct answer rate indicating the accuracy of the distribution performed according to the distribution rule or the correct answer rate. It may be a value or the like. Here, when a plurality of distribution rules have the same priority, these distribution rules may be ordered according to additional information such as their own application frequency and last execution date and time. Further, the priority may be derived from each parameter such as the correct answer rate, the application frequency, and the last execution date and time according to a predetermined calculation formula or calculation procedure, or may be derived based on machine learning.

The telegram distribution unit 120 distributes the telegram to be distributed according to the rule hierarchy. Specifically, when the telegram distribution unit 120 receives the telegram to be distributed, the telegram distribution unit 120 identifies the type of the received telegram and searches the rule hierarchy corresponding to the specified telegram type by the depth-first method. The delivery destination may be determined. That is, the telegram distribution unit 120 confirms whether the telegram corresponds to each distribution rule in descending order of priority in each layer, and when it detects the corresponding distribution rule, priority is given in the next layer branching from the detected distribution rule. Check if the telegram corresponds to each distribution rule in descending order. The message distribution unit 120 repeats the same process until the terminal distribution rule in the rule hierarchy is reached, and distributes or outputs the message according to the reached terminal distribution rule. For example, the message distribution unit 120 may send a message to the user terminal 200 indicated by the determined distribution rule at the end, or may output the message to a destination such as an application indicated by the distribution rule. ..

For example, the distribution rule management unit 110 maintains a rule hierarchy as shown in FIG. 5, and the telegram distribution unit 120 transmits a specific type of telegram including two fields having "59D" and "TSUJIMOTO" as input contents. Suppose it was received. At this time, the telegram distribution unit 120 sets the corresponding rule hierarchy (1) in descending order of priority (rule 1 → rule 2 → rule 3 → ...), and the telegram corresponds to the distribution rule of the hierarchy (1). It is determined in order whether or not the data is set, and it is determined that the rule 2 (for example, the tag "59" is included as the input content) is applicable. Next, the telegram distribution unit 120 sets the hierarchy (2) in descending order of priority (rule 2-1 → rule 2-2 → rule 2-3 → ...), and the telegram is from rule 2 in the hierarchy (2). It is sequentially determined whether or not each branching distribution rule is applicable, and it is determined that the rule 2-1 (for example, "59" is attached with the option "D") is applicable. Further, the telegram distribution unit 120 arranges the telegrams in the hierarchy (3) in descending order of priority (rule 2-1-1 → rule 2-1-2 → rule 2-1-3 → ...). ), It is determined in order whether or not each distribution rule branched from rule 2-1 is applicable, and it is determined that the rule 2-1-2 (for example, the wording of "TSUJIMOTO" is included as the input content) is applicable. Since rule 2-1-2 is a terminal distribution rule in the rule hierarchy, that is, a distribution rule that does not have a distribution rule in the next layer, the message distribution unit 120 is in accordance with the rule 2-1-2 of the department A. The message is delivered to the user terminal 200.

In one embodiment, the distribution rule management unit 110 adjusts the priority based on the correct answer rate indicating the ratio of the delivered telegram delivered to the correct delivery destination, and reconstructs the rule hierarchy according to the adjusted priority. May be good. For example, the telegram distribution unit 120 distributes the telegram according to the distribution rules in the rule hierarchy configured by the method as described above, but there is a possibility that the distribution is erroneous. In the specific example described above, the message distribution unit 120 distributes the message to the user terminal 200 of the department A in accordance with rule 2-1-2, but the message received in the department A is not addressed to the department A and is not addressed to the department A. Suppose that it is determined to be addressed. In this case, the user terminal 200 of the department A transfers the message to the user terminal 200 of the department B, and reports the erroneous delivery of the message to the information processing device 100. Upon receiving the misdelivery report, the delivery rule management unit 110 recalculates the correct answer rate of rule 2-1-2 applied to the misdelivered message, and the priority (90%) is determined by the recalculated correct answer rate. → 80%) is adjusted. When the priority or correct answer rate is changed in this way, the distribution rule management unit 110 dynamically reconstructs the rule hierarchy according to the changed priority or correct answer rate. In the specific example shown in FIG. 5, when the priority or correct answer rate of rule 2-1-2 is lowered to 80% and falls below the priority or correct answer rate of lower rule 2-3-1, distribution rule management is performed. The unit 110 changes the order of the rule 2-1-2 and the rule 2-3-1 in the hierarchy (3).

Further, when the distribution rule management unit 110 reports that the correct destination of the telegram is department B, it determines which of the distribution rule paths of rule 2 → rule 2-1 → rule 2-1-2. You may identify whether there was a problem in the above, recalculate the priority or correct answer rate of the distribution rule that caused the incorrect delivery, and reconstruct the rule hierarchy based on the priority or correct answer rate after the recalculation.

On the other hand, if the report of erroneous delivery is not received within a predetermined period from the delivery of the telegram, the delivery rule management unit 110 determines that the delivery rule applied to the telegram is appropriate, and determines that the delivery rule is appropriate. The priority or correct answer rate of the rule and / or the distribution rule path leading to the distribution rule may be recalculated, and the rule hierarchy may be reconstructed based on the priority or correct answer rate after the recalculation. For example, the priority or correct answer rate may be periodically recalculated based on the ratio of the number of erroneous distributions to the number of times each distribution rule is applied in a predetermined period such as one day, one week, or one month. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any appropriate index indicating delivery accuracy or delivery correctness may be applied.

In one embodiment, the distribution rule management unit 110 may delete a distribution rule that has not been used for a predetermined period or longer. Specifically, the distribution rule management unit 110 may hold the last execution date and time when the distribution rule was most recently applied to each distribution rule, and updates the last execution date and time each time the distribution rule is applied. You may. Then, the distribution rule management unit 110 searches for distribution rules that have not been used for a predetermined period of time such as one month or one year based on the last execution date and time held, and when such a distribution rule is detected, the said distribution rule is concerned. Delivery rules may be removed from the rule hierarchy. This makes it possible to periodically delete infrequently applied distribution rules and save memory resources for storing the rule hierarchy. Further, in general, a rule that is applied infrequently may maintain a high priority or a correct answer rate without occurrence of erroneous delivery due to a low number of applications. In this case, there is a possibility that the telegrams will continue to be arranged in the higher order of each layer regardless of the low application frequency, which causes the telegram distribution unit 120 to unnecessarily confirm the applicability of the distribution rule and the telegram. This wastes computing resources. Therefore, periodic deletion of unused distribution rules is also useful from the viewpoint of saving computational resources.

Further, in one embodiment, the distribution rule management unit 110 may arrange the added distribution rule at the head of the corresponding layer in the rule layer. For example, when adding a distribution rule whose tag is "59" and whose option is "F", the distribution rule management unit 110 sets the distribution rule at the beginning of the hierarchy (2) of the distribution rule path from rule 2. It may be arranged as a distribution resource of, and the priority or the correct answer rate may be initially set to 100%. This is because the added delivery rules are generally considered to be highly necessary and high priority. After that, the added distribution rules are considered to be rearranged in an appropriate order according to the correct answer rate.

The processing in the distribution rule management unit 110 and the telegram distribution unit 120 described above may be realized by the processor of the information processing device 100. For example, the processor may execute the telegram distribution process according to the pseudo code relating to the distribution clerk acquisition and the rule definition as shown in FIG. As shown in the rule definition, each delivery rule may have information elements such as identification number, rule content, hierarchy number, correct answer rate, last execution time, delivery destination, and next rule, and the received message is delivered. It is determined according to the procedure shown in the engagement acquisition.

Although the examples of the present invention have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned specific embodiments, and various modifications are made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims.・ Can be changed.
