For example, the operation reception unit 211 accepts an operation for invoking an application for the electronic chat system 1. In addition, each user who uses the electronic chat system 1 is given a user ID as a unique identifier (ID) for identifying the user. This user ID is given by the server device 100 or the like when the user registers with the electronic chat system 1, for example. A user ID may be assigned to each operation terminal 200 to identify the user based on the operation terminal 200.

Further, after the application for the electronic chat system 1 is started, the operation reception unit 211 performs an operation of creating a topic (title) that becomes a topic when exchanging messages, an operation of inputting a message, and a message. Accepts operations and the like to be transmitted to the server device 100.
Further, although the details will be described later, the operation reception unit 211 is an operation for registering a task in which one or more users are in charge using the character string specified in the message about the topic (predetermined subject). Accept.

When the operation reception unit 211 receives an operation for registering a task, the task content generation unit 212 generates the content (task content) of the task to be registered. More specifically, the task content generation unit 212 specifies a predetermined character string based on the character string specified in the task registration or a message including the character string. This predetermined character string is a character string supplemented as the content of the task. Then, the task content generation unit 212 generates information in which a designated character string and a predetermined character string are combined as the task content. The details of the process for generating the task contents will be described later.

When the task content is generated by the task content generation unit 212, the task registration instruction unit 213 instructs the server device 100 to register the task. This registration instruction includes the task content generated by the task content generation unit 212, the information of the message on which the task registration is based, the information of the user who has given the registration instruction, and the like.

The display control unit 214 outputs data for displaying a chat screen or the like on the display of the display mechanism 205, and controls the display of the display. On the chat screen, messages about each topic and information on tasks registered based on the messages are displayed.

In this embodiment, the operation reception unit 211 is used as an example of the reception means, the selection operation reception means, and the registration operation reception means. As an example of the display control means, the display control unit 214 is used.

<Functional configuration of server device>
Next, the functional configuration of the server device 100 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration example of the server device 100 according to the present embodiment. The server device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a topic DB (DataBase) 111, a message DB 112, a task DB 113, a message distribution unit 114, a task registration permission determination unit 115, a task registration unit 116, and a task information notification. A unit 117 is provided.

The topic DB 111 is a database that stores information on topics registered in the electronic chat system 1. In the topic DB 111, a topic ID is assigned to each topic as an identifier uniquely assigned to identify the topic. This topic ID is given by the server device 100 or the like when the topic is generated by the user's operation, for example.

The message DB 112 is a database that stores information on messages received from the operation terminal 200 by the message distribution unit 114. In the message DB 112, a message ID is assigned to each message as an identifier uniquely assigned to identify the message. This message ID is given by, for example, a server device 100 or the like when a message is transmitted from the operation terminal 200.

The task DB 113 is a database that stores information on tasks registered by the task registration unit 116. In the task DB 113, a task ID is assigned to each task as an identifier uniquely assigned to identify the task. This task ID is assigned, for example, when the task registration unit 116 registers a task.

When the message distribution unit 114 receives a message from the operation terminal 200, the message distribution unit 114 saves the received message in the message DB 112. Further, the message distribution unit 114 transmits the received message to the operation terminal 200 of the user who is the destination of the message (the operation terminal 200 operated by the user who is the destination).

When the task registration permission determination unit 115 receives the task registration instruction from the task registration instruction unit 213 of the operation terminal 200, the task registration permission determination unit 115 determines whether or not the task registration is permitted. Here, the task registration permission determination unit 115 determines whether or not the condition for permitting task registration (hereinafter referred to as registration permission condition) is satisfied based on the registration instruction information received from the operation terminal 200. .. If it is determined that the registration permission conditions are met, task registration is permitted.

More specifically, the registration permission condition is a condition for determining whether or not registration is possible in relation to a task that has already been registered. For example, if a task having the same message ID and person-in-charge ID as the task instructed to be registered exists among the already registered tasks, it is determined that the registration permission condition is not satisfied. For example, when the task registration instruction of the person in charge ID "101" is given based on the message of the message IDs "1" and "2", the message IDs "1" and "2" and the person in charge ID "1" If the task of "101" has already been registered, it is determined that the registration permission condition is not satisfied, and registration is prohibited.

However, the registration permission conditions are not limited to those conditions. For example, even if a task with the same message ID and person in charge ID as the task instructed to be registered has already been registered, if the requester ID is different, it is determined that the registration permission condition is satisfied and registration is performed. You may allow it. Further, even if the message ID and the person in charge ID do not completely match, the message ID is the same as at least a part of the message ID of the task instructed to be registered, and at least one of the person in charge IDs of the task instructed to be registered. If the task that is the same as the department has already been registered, it may be determined that the registration permission condition is not satisfied and the registration may be prohibited.

The task registration unit 116 registers a task when the task registration is permitted by the task registration permission determination unit 115. Here, the task registration unit 116 newly assigns a task ID and stores the information of the task instructed to be registered in the task DB 113. More specifically, for example, information such as a task ID, a message ID, a person in charge ID, a requester ID, and task contents is stored in the task DB 113.

The task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200 of the task information registered by the task registration unit 116. Here, for example, information such as the task content, the person in charge ID, and the requester ID is notified to the operation terminal 200.

In the server device 100 as well, as in the operation terminal 200, for example, an OS program or an application program stored in a magnetic disk device or the like is read into the main memory and executed by the CPU to generate a message. Functional units such as a distribution unit 114, a task registration permission determination unit 115, a task registration unit 116, and a task information notification unit 117 are realized. Further, the topic DB 111, the message DB 112, and the task DB 113 are realized by a storage means such as a magnetic disk device.

<Explanation of task content generation process>
Next, the task content generation process by the task content generation unit 212 will be described. As described above, the task content generation unit 212 specifies a predetermined character string based on the character string specified in the task registration or the message of the character string. Then, the task content generation unit 212 generates the task content by combining the designated character string and the specified predetermined character string. Here, the task content generation unit 212 specifies a predetermined character string according to a preset rule. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described.

For example, the task content generation unit 212 specifies the name of the topic to which the message of the character string specified by the user belongs as a predetermined character string. For example, it is assumed that the character string "deadline is 9/7" is specified to the user in the message "the deadline is 9/7" in the topic "thesis". In this case, the task content generation unit 212 specifies a predetermined character string "thesis", which is the name of the topic, as the character string associated with the message "the deadline is 9/7." Then, the task content generation unit 212 combines the designated character string "deadline is 9/7" with the specified predetermined character string "thesis", and the task content is "the treatise deadline is 9/7". To generate.

Here, when the name of the topic is included in the designated character string, the task content generation unit 212 does not have to specify the name of the topic as a predetermined character string. For example, when the character string "Thesis presentation is 9/16" is specified, the character of "thesis" which is the name of the topic is already included. In this case, the task content generation unit 212 does not combine the character strings of the topic name "thesis", but generates the designated character string "thesis presentation is 9/16" as the task content.

Further, for example, when a part or all of the designated character string is a specific character string, the character string corresponding to the specific character string may be specified as a predetermined character string. For example, it is assumed that the character string "confirm application destination" is associated with the character string "application" in advance. In this case, for example, when the character string "external presentation application" is specified to the user, the task content generation unit 212 includes the specific character string "application" in the specified character string "external presentation application". It is determined that it is. Then, the task content generation unit 212 specifies "confirm application destination", which is a character string corresponding to "application", as a predetermined character string. Then, the task content generation unit 212 combines the character string "external presentation application" specified by the user and the specified predetermined character string "confirm application destination" to "apply for external presentation. Application destination". Generate the task content "Confirm".

Further, for example, when a specific character string is not included in the character string specified by the user, the character string associated with the specific character string may be specified as a predetermined character string. .. For example, it is assumed that the character string "Confirm deadline." Is associated with the character string indicating the date and time in advance. In this case, for example, when the character string "submit to the intellectual property department" is specified to the user, the task content generation unit 212 includes the character string indicating the date and time in the specified character string "submit to the intellectual property department". Judge that it is not. Then, the task content generation unit 212 specifies the character string "confirm the deadline." Corresponding to the character string indicating the date and time as a predetermined character string. In addition, the task content generation unit 212 combines the character string "submit to the intellectual property department" specified by the user and the specified predetermined character string "confirm the deadline." And "submits to the intellectual property department. Deadline." Confirm the task content.

In this way, the task content generation unit 212 specifies a predetermined character string according to a preset rule. This predetermined character string is a character string supplemented as the content of the task, and is not included in the character string specified in the registration of the task, for example, as in the above-mentioned example. Then, the task content is generated by combining the designated character string and the predetermined character string.

The rule for specifying a predetermined character string is not limited to the rule given in the above example. The task content generation unit 212 may specify a character string specified in the task registration or a character string predetermined based on a message including the character string, and any rule may be used at that time. ..

Further, what kind of rule is used is determined in advance by, for example, the administrator of the electronic chat system 1. Further, for example, the rule to be used may be changed for each topic, or the rule to be used may be changed according to the requester who registers the task and the number of characters in the specified character string. Further, by using a plurality of rules, a plurality of predetermined character strings may be specified to generate task contents.
Also, rules may be added automatically by operations performed by the user in the past. For example, suppose that when a user creates a task based on a message that does not include a character string indicating the date and time, the user adds the character string "Confirm deadline.". In this case, as a new rule, for example, when the character string specified by the user does not include the character string indicating the date and time, the character string "Confirm deadline." Is set as a predetermined character string. The rules to identify are added automatically.

<Explanation of information stored in the database>
Next, the information stored in each database will be described. FIGS. 5-1 (a) and 5-1 (b) are diagrams showing an example of information stored in the topic DB 111 and the message DB 112. Further, FIG. 5-2 (c) is a diagram showing an example of information stored in the task DB 113.

First, the topic DB 111 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5-1 (a), the topic DB 111 stores information on items of "topic ID", "manager ID", "user ID list", and "topic content" for each topic.

The "topic ID" is a topic ID assigned to each topic. The "manager ID" is the user ID of the user who is the manager of the topic. In addition, each topic specifies, for example, a user who will be the manager who manages the topic when creating the topic. Then, the user ID of the designated user is stored as the manager ID.

The "user ID list" is a list of user IDs of users who are participants in the topic. Topic participants, like managers, are assigned to each topic, for example, when the topic is created. Then, the user ID of the user assigned to the topic is stored in the user ID list. It is also possible to add participants after creating the topic, and when a participant is added, the user ID of the added participant is newly stored in the user ID list. The "topic content" is the name of the topic and is input to the user, for example, when the topic is created.

Next, the message DB 112 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5-1 (b), the message DB 112 stores information on items of "message ID", "topic ID", "user ID", and "message content" for each message.

The "message ID" is a message ID given to each message. The "topic ID" is the topic ID of the topic to which the message belongs. The "user ID" is the user ID of the user who entered the message. The "message content" is the content of the message input by the user.

Next, the task DB 113 will be described. As shown in FIG. 5-2 (c), the task DB 113 has a "task ID", a "topic ID", a "message ID list", a "person in charge ID", a "requester ID", and a "requester ID" for each task. Information on the items of "task status" and "task content" is stored.

The "task ID" is a task ID assigned to each task. The task ID is assigned to each person in charge (each person in charge ID). For example, when registering a task in which a plurality of users are in charge, a task ID is assigned to each person in charge. The "topic ID" is the topic ID of the topic to which the message on which the task registration is based belongs.

The "message ID list" is a list of message IDs of the message on which the task registration is based. The "person in charge ID" is a user ID of the person in charge of the task. The person in charge of the task is specified when the user registers the task. Then, the user ID of the designated user is stored as the person in charge ID. The "requester ID" is the user ID of the user who has given the task registration instruction.

The "task status" is the progress of the task. Specifically, when the task is registered, the task status is "waiting for processing". Then, when the person in charge of the task actually executes the task and finishes the task, inputs that the task is finished. By this input, the task status changes from "waiting for processing" to "completed processing". In addition, if the topic manager confirms (approves) the "process completed" task, enter the confirmation. By this input, the task status changes from "processing completed" to "approval completed". In this way, the progress is managed for each task.

The "task content" is a task content generated by the task content generation unit 212 of the server device 100. Further, as will be described later, when the task content is edited by the user, the edited task content is stored.

<Explanation of chat screen>
Next, the chat screen displayed on the operation terminal 200 will be described. 6-1 and 6-2 are diagrams showing an example of a chat screen. In the example shown in FIGS. 6-1 and 6-2, a chat screen when the user A operates the operation terminal 200A to start the application for the electronic chat system 1 will be described as an example.

As shown in FIG. 6-1 (a), the chat screen 11 is provided with two areas, a topic column 12 and a chat content column 13. Further, at the upper part of the chat screen 11, individual task buttons 14, all member task buttons 15, and mark display buttons 16 are provided as buttons related to tasks. When these buttons are selected by the user, display control is performed according to each button.

In the chat content field 13, the message of the selected topic is displayed. That is, the message sent by the user participating in the selected topic is displayed. In addition, among the messages sent about the selected topic, the amount of messages that fit in the chat content column 13 is displayed in the chat content column 13 as a display target. In the present embodiment, the chat content column 13 is used as an example of a predetermined display area.

In the illustrated example, messages 17A and 17B are displayed as messages of the topic "patent". The message 17A is a message sent by the user with the user ID "101", and the message 17B is a message sent by the user with the user ID "102". In this example, the user A is given the user ID "101", and the user B is given the user ID "102".

In addition, each message is provided with a mark button so that the user can mark each message. The marked message is displayed in the mark column 22 (see FIG. 6-2 (d)) described later. In the illustrated example, the message 17A is provided with the mark button 18A, and the message 17B is provided with the mark button 18B.

Next, FIG. 6-1 (b) is a diagram showing an example of the chat screen 11 when the individual task button 14 is selected. Further, FIG. 6-2 (c) is a diagram showing an example of a chat screen 11 when all member task buttons 15 are selected. When the individual task button 14 or all member task buttons 15 is selected as shown in FIGS. 6-1 (b) and 6-2 (c), a new task column 19 is provided. In the task column 19, task information about the selected topic is displayed.

Here, when the personal task button 14 is selected, information on the task that oneself (user A in this example) is in charge of is displayed for the selected topic. In the example shown in FIG. 6-1 (b), the task image 20A showing the information of the task in charge of the user A for the topic "patent" is displayed in the task column 19. The task image 20A shows that the task content is "Patent Review Meeting 9/7 (Thursday)", the person in charge ID is "101", and the requester ID is "102".

Further, when the content of the task in the task column 19 is selected, the message (character string) on which the task is based is displayed in the chat content column 13. For example, when the user A selects the task image 20A, the character strings of the message 17A and the message 17B that are the basis of the task of the task image 20A are highlighted, and the character strings "examination meeting" and "9 /" in the character strings are displayed. 7 (Thursday) ”is particularly highlighted. The highlight display is a display mode in which the background color of the character string is set to a color different from the surrounding color and the background color of other character strings, and the display is emphasized. Further, when the message in the chat content column 13 is selected, the information of the task registered based on the selected message is displayed in the task column 19.

Further, each task image in the task column 19 is provided with a status column. In the status column, the information of "task status" of the task DB 113 is displayed. When the person in charge of the task or the manager changes / inputs the status of the task in the status column, the information of the "task status" of the task DB 113 is changed, and the display of the status column is also changed.

Similarly, for example, when the task column 19 is scrolled and displayed, the message in the chat content column 13 is also moved and displayed as the task information in the task column 19 is moved up and down.

Further, when a task is registered based on a plurality of messages, another message may exist between the plurality of messages. In such a case, the task registered based on multiple messages is displayed side by side with the information of this task and other messages as a task related to other messages existing between multiple messages. May be good.

<Explanation of display when registering a task>
Next, the display when registering a task will be described. 7 (a) to 7 (c) are diagrams showing an example of display when registering a task.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the user A specifies the entire message (the entire character string included in the message) for the message displayed in the chat content field 13 of the chat screen 11, or makes the message. When the included character string is specified, the task operation menu image 23 is displayed.

For example, when the "examination meeting" is specified in the message 17A, the task operation menu image 23 is displayed. The task operation menu image 23 is an image having a function related to task registration, and is provided with a “+” button 23A, a “+ mytask” button 23B, and a “+ taskTo” button 23C.

The "+" button 23A is a button for adding another message in task registration. For example, if the user A selects the "+" button 23A after designating the "examination meeting" of the message 17A, the message 17B can be additionally specified. The "+ mytask" button 23B is a button for registering a task (hereinafter referred to as an individual task) in which the user himself (in this example, user A) who is operating the chat screen 11 is in charge.

Further, the button 23C of "+ taskTo" is a button for registering a task with the user participating in the topic as the person in charge. When the user A selects the "+ taskTo" button 23C, an image (hereinafter referred to as a person in charge selection menu image) 24 for accepting the selection of the person in charge of the task is displayed as shown in FIG. 7 (b). The person in charge selection menu image 24 displays a list of users participating in the selected topic. The user A who registers the task specifies the user to be in charge of the task in the person in charge selection menu image 24, and selects the "OK" button 24B to determine the person in charge of the task.

Here, "All Others" is an item for selecting a user other than the topic manager. Further, "All" is an item for selecting all users including the topic manager. Further, since the user ID of the user who is operating (user A in this example) is also displayed on the person in charge selection menu image 24, he / she may be selected as the person in charge of the task. Further, when a character string is input to the area 24A, a user search is performed. For example, when a part or all of the user ID is input in the area 24A, the user ID including the input characters is displayed as the search result.

Then, when the "+ mytask" button 23B is selected or the "OK" button 24B of the person in charge selection menu image 24 is selected, as shown in FIG. 7 (c), an image that accepts editing of the task content (hereinafter , Task edit menu image) 25 is displayed. The task content generated by the task content generation unit 212 is displayed on the task edit menu image 25. In the illustrated example, "Patent Study Group 9/7 (Thursday)" is displayed in the area 25A as the task content. In the task edit menu image 25, the task content can be edited by inputting to the area 25A. User A may edit the task contents as needed. Then, when the "OK" button 25B is selected, the task content is determined, and the server device 100 is instructed to register the task.

<Processing procedure of operation terminal>
Next, the processing procedure of the operation terminal 200 when registering the task will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure of the operation terminal 200 when registering a task.

First, the operation reception unit 211 accepts an operation of designating the entire message or a character string included in the message for the message displayed in the chat content field 13 of the chat screen 11 (step 101). Here, an operation of designating the entire message or a character string included in the message is performed for one or a plurality of messages by the operation of the user. If the entire message is specified, the entire character string included in the message is treated as specified.

Next, the task content generation unit 212 identifies a predetermined character string based on the designated character string or a message including the character string (step 102). Next, the task content generation unit 212 generates the task content by combining the character string designated by the user and the specified predetermined character string (step 103).

Next, the display control unit 214 displays the generated task content on the display (step 104). Here, the task content is edited according to the operation by the user. Next, the task registration instruction unit 213 instructs the server device 100 to register the task (step 105). Next, the task information acquisition unit 215 acquires the information of the task registered in the server device 100 (step 106). Next, the display control unit 214 displays the information of the registered task on the display (step 107). Then, this processing flow ends.

If the server device 100 does not allow the task registration, in step 106, the task information acquisition unit 215 receives a notification from the server device 100 that the task registration is not possible. Then, the display control unit 214 displays on the display that the task cannot be registered.

<Processing procedure of server device>
Next, the processing procedure of the server device 100 when registering the task will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a processing procedure of the server device 100 when registering a task.

First, the task registration permission determination unit 115 receives a task registration instruction from the operation terminal 200 (step 201). Next, the task registration permission determination unit 115 determines whether or not to permit registration of the task for which registration has been instructed (step 202).

If a positive determination (YES) is made in step 202, the task registration unit 116 registers the task instructed to be registered (step 203). Here, the task registration unit 116 newly assigns a task ID and stores the information of the task instructed to be registered in the task DB 113. Next, the task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200 of the registered task information (step 204).

In step 204, the task information notification unit 117 notifies all the participants of the topic to which the message on which the registered task is based belongs with the task information. That is, the task information is notified to the operation terminals 200 of all the participants of the topic. Then, this processing flow ends.

On the other hand, if a negative determination (NO) is made in step 202, the task registration unit 116 does not register the task. In this case, the task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200 that the task registration is not possible (step 205). Here, the task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200 of the user who has given the task registration instruction that the task cannot be registered. Then, this processing flow ends.

<Example of process for registering a task>
Next, the process of registering a task based on a message will be described with a specific example. 10-1 to 10-3 are diagrams showing specific examples of the process of registering a task based on a message. In the example shown in FIGS. 10-1 to 10-3, it is assumed that the user A operates the operation terminal 200A to activate the application for the electronic chat system 1.

When the user A starts the application for the electronic chat system 1, the chat screen 11 is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 10-1 (a), the topic "thesis" is selected, and the messages 17C to 17F of the topic "thesis" are displayed in the chat content column 13. Here, when the user A specifies the entire message or the character string included in the message for the message displayed in the chat content field 13 of the chat screen 11 in order to register the task, the task operation menu image 23 Is displayed.

First, a case where the button 23B of "+ mytask" of the task operation menu image 23 is selected to register an individual task in which the user A himself / herself is in charge will be described.

For example, when the user A specifies the character string "deadline is 9/7" in the message 17C, the character string "deadline is 9/7" is highlighted and the task operation menu image 23 is displayed. Next, when the user A selects the "+" button 23A, a message other than the message 17C can be added. Here, when the user A further specifies the character string "announcement is 9/16" in the message 17D, the character string "announcement is 9/16" is highlighted, and the task operation menu image 23 is displayed again. To. Next, when the user A selects the "+ mytask" button 23B, a process of registering an individual task with the user A himself as the person in charge is performed.

Here, the task content generation unit 212 generates task content based on the designated character strings "deadline is 9/7" and "announcement is 9/16". For example, the task content generation unit 212 specifies the topic name "treatise" as a predetermined character string based on the specified character strings "deadline is 9/7" and "presentation is 9/16". .. Then, the task content generation unit 212 supplements the designated character strings "deadline is 9/7" and "presentation is 9/16" with the topic name "thesis", and sets the task content to "thesis deadline is 9". / 7, the announcement will be 9/16 ". As a result, as shown in FIG. 10-1 (b), the task edit menu image 25 is displayed. Here, the task content is edited by the user A as necessary.

Next, the task registration instruction unit 213 instructs the server device 100 to register the task. This registration instruction is an instruction to register a task with the user A himself as the person in charge. Specifically, the registration instruction includes the task content, the topic ID of the topic "thesis", the message IDs of the messages 17C and 17D, the user ID of the user A who is the person in charge, the user ID of the user A who is the requester, and the like. Information is included.

When the task registration instruction is given, the task registration permission determination unit 115 of the server device 100 determines whether or not the task registration is permitted. Here, the task registration permission determination unit 115 determines whether or not the registration permission condition is satisfied based on the information of the task registration instruction received from the operation terminal 200A. For example, when the message IDs of the messages 17C and 17D are "3" and "4", respectively, and the user ID of the user A is "101", the task registration permission determination unit 115 is included in the tasks registered in the task DB 113. , It is determined whether or not there is a task with message IDs "3" and "4" and a person in charge ID "101".

When the task with the message IDs "3" and "4" and the person in charge ID "101" has already been registered, the task registration permission determination unit 115 determines that the task cannot be registered. Then, the task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200A that the task registration is not possible.
On the other hand, when the task with the message IDs "3" and "4" and the person in charge ID "101" has not been registered yet, the task registration permission determination unit 115 permits the registration of the task. Then, as shown in FIG. 5-2 (c), the task registration unit 116 has task ID "2", topic ID "2", message ID "3", "4", and person in charge ID as new tasks. Information such as "101", requester ID "101", task status "waiting for processing", task content "thesis deadline is 9/7, presentation is 9/16" is registered.

Next, the task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200A of the task information registered by the task registration unit 116. The notified task information is displayed in the task column 19 of the chat screen 11. In the example of FIG. 10-2 (c), as a new task, a task image showing the task content "the treatise deadline is 9/7, the presentation is 9/16", the person in charge ID "101", and the requester ID "101". 20C is displayed. Further, when the information of the registered task is displayed for the first time on the chat screen 11, it may be highlighted. Information on this task is also notified to other users participating in the topic "treatise".

Next, a case where the button 23C of "+ taskTo" of the task operation menu image 23 is selected to register the task with the user participating in the topic as the person in charge will be described.

For example, when the user A specifies the character string "external presentation application" of the message 17E, the character string "external presentation application" is highlighted and the task operation menu image 23 is displayed. Next, when the user A selects the "+" button 23A, a message other than the message 17E can be added. Here, when the user A further specifies the character string "submit to the intellectual property department" of the message 17F, the character string "submit to the intellectual property department" is highlighted and the task operation menu image 23 is displayed again.

Next, when the user A selects the "+ taskTo" button 23C, the person in charge selection menu image 24 is displayed as shown in FIG. 10-2 (d). Here, the user A may select a user who is in charge of the task. In this example, the user A selects the user C of the user ID "103" and the user D of the user ID "104" as the person in charge.

Next, the task content generation unit 212 generates task content based on the designated character strings "application for external presentation" and "submit to the intellectual property department". For example, the task content generation unit 212 specifies the character string "confirm deadline." As a predetermined character string based on the specified character strings "application for external presentation" and "submit to the intellectual property department". .. Then, the task content generation unit 212 supplements the specified character strings "application for external announcement" and "submit to the intellectual property department" with "confirm the deadline." Submit. Confirm the deadline. " As a result, as shown in FIG. 10-3 (e), the task edit menu image 25 is displayed, and the user A edits the image 25 as necessary. For example, user A considers that the deadline for papers is 9/7 and the deadline for applications for external presentations is before the deadline for papers, and the character string "Confirm deadline." Deadline: 9/1 ”.

Next, the task registration instruction unit 213 instructs the server device 100 to register the task. This registration instruction is an instruction to register a task with user C and user D as a person in charge. Specifically, the registration instruction includes the task content, the topic ID of the topic "thesis", the message IDs of each of the messages 17E and 17F, the user C who is the person in charge, the user ID of the user D, and the user A who is the requester. Information such as a user ID is included.

When the task registration instruction is given, the task registration permission determination unit 115 of the server device 100 determines whether or not the task registration is permitted. Here, when the task registration is permitted, the task registration unit 116 sets the task ID "3", the topic ID "2", and the message ID as new tasks as shown in FIG. 5-2 (c). Information such as "5", "6", person in charge ID "103", requester ID "101", task status "waiting for processing", task content "application for external presentation. Submit to IP Department. Deadline: 9/1" To register. Further, the task ID "4" is assigned, and the task with the person in charge ID "104" is also registered in the same manner.

Next, the task information notification unit 117 notifies the operation terminal 200A of the task information registered by the task registration unit 116. The notified task information is displayed in the task column 19 of the chat screen 11. The example of FIG. 10-3 (f) shows the chat screen 11 when the all member task buttons 15 are selected. As new tasks, the task image 20D of the person in charge ID "103" and the task image 20E of the person in charge ID "104" are displayed.

Information on this task is also notified to other users participating in the topic "treatise". Further, a notification to the effect that a new task has been registered is displayed on the chat screen 11 of another user registered as the person in charge. 11 (a) and 11 (b) are diagrams showing an example of notification that a new task has been registered. For example, when a task with user C and user D as a person in charge is registered by user A, as shown in FIG. 11A, "a new task is added to the chat content column 13 of the chat screen 11 of user C." A notification image 26 stating "Yes" is displayed. Similarly, the chat screen 11 of the user D is notified that there is a new task.

Here, when the user C selects the notification image 26, or selects the individual task button 14 or the all member task button 15, the information of the newly registered task is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 11B, the information of the task image 20D is displayed on the chat screen 11 of the user C.

<Example of processing to manage the progress of a task>
Next, a process for managing the progress of the task will be described with a specific example.

The person in charge of the task changes the task status from "waiting for processing" to "completed processing" when the task is actually executed and completed. For example, when the person in charge of the task ends the task, the person in charge of the task selects "process completed" in the status column of the task. As a result, the "task status" of the task DB 113 is changed from "waiting for processing" to "completed processing", and "processing completed" is displayed in the status column.

Next, if the topic manager wants to check the status of the task, select the all-member task button 15. Since all the tasks related to the topic are displayed in the task column 19, the manager confirms whether or not there is a "process completed" task. Here, the display mode of the "process completed" task may be changed from that of other tasks by changing the background color. Then, the manager selects, for example, "approval completed" in the status column of the task. As a result, the "task status" of the task DB 113 is changed from "processing completed" to "approval completed", and "approval completed" is displayed in the status column.

When the task status is changed to "approval completed", a notification to the effect that the task has been approved is displayed on the chat screen 11 of the person in charge of the task. 12 (a) and 12 (b) are diagrams showing an example of notification that the task has been approved. When the task is approved, as shown in FIG. 12A, a notification image 27 indicating that "the task has been approved" is displayed in the chat content field 13 of the user's chat screen 11. Here, when the user selects the notification image 27, information on the task approved by the manager is displayed in the task column 19 as shown in FIG. 12 (b). In the illustrated example, the task image 20A is displayed as "approval completed" in the status column 21A.

<Process to register another task based on the registered task>
In the above example, the task is registered based on the message, but it is also possible to register another task based on the registered task.

For example, the task of the task image 20C shown in FIG. 10-2 (c) is an individual task in which the user A has registered himself / herself as a person in charge. For example, on the chat screen 11 of the user A, the operation of selecting the task image 20C and registering another task with another user as the person in charge is performed. In this case, another task having the same task content (work content) as the task of the task image 20C and having another user as the person in charge is registered.

In addition, select the task image 20C and change the character string "Thesis deadline is 9/7, Presentation is 9/16" to register another task with a task content different from the task of the task image 20C. You may. The person in charge in this case may be the same person in charge as the task of the task image 20C (that is, the user A himself / herself), or another user may be the person in charge.

Further, the task image 20C is displayed not only on the chat screen 11 of the user A but also on the chat screen 11 of another user participating in the topic "thesis". Therefore, even on the chat screen 11 of another user, an operation of selecting the task image 20C and registering another task is performed. For example, on the chat screen 11 of the user B, an operation of registering another task based on the task of the task image 20C is performed. In this case, for example, another task having the same task content as the task of the task image 20C and having the user B himself as the person in charge is registered. Further, for example, another task in which a user other than the user B is in charge is registered. Further, another task may be registered with a task content different from that of the task image 20C. As for the person in charge in this case, the user B may be the person in charge, or another user may be the person in charge.

Also, for example, the manager of a topic may register a task for another user who participates in the topic based on the personal task of one user who is a participant of the topic, or all the participants of the topic. You may register the task as the person in charge.
Here, an example of registering another task based on the individual task of the user A has been described, but the configuration is not limited to the configuration of registering another task based on the individual task, for example, one user. You may register another task based on the task that has registered another user as the person in charge.

<Process to register a task by selecting the mark button>
