<Flow example 1>

The actual procedure of the portal providing method according to this embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Various operations corresponding to the portal providing method described below are realized by a program read out to a memory or the like and executed by each server constituting the portal providing system 10 . This program is composed of codes for performing various operations described below.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing flow example 1 of the portal providing method according to the present embodiment. Here, for example, a situation is assumed in which an application vendor intends to register its company's application in the application providing environment provided by the portal providing system 10 . This "registration" can be used in various ways, such as registering information in the application DB 127 or the linkage DB 128 so that customers of each financial institution can use an unregistered application, application linkage by API or batch, and data linkage. can include the meaning of

Therefore, the application management server 100 receives an application registration request from a predetermined terminal operated by the application vendor (referred to as a “vendor terminal” in FIG. 12, which is a terminal that can be connected to the network 1). (s1 to s2).

Therefore, the person in charge of the vendor views the determination screen 50 on the vendor terminal and designates an option according to his/her intention. The vendor terminal receives this designation and replies to the application management server 100 as a reply (s3).

On the other hand, it obtains the above-mentioned answer and determines the situation, ie, the intention of the app vendor (s4). As a result of the determination, if the intention of the application vendor is a request for cooperation between an application being published by another application vendor and its own application (s4: cooperation request), the application management server 100 refers to the cooperation DB 128. Then, a list of each application whose information is included in the cooperation DB 128 (a list of applications that have already accepted cooperation) is returned as a cooperation candidate (s5).

In the vendor terminal, the application vendor's person in charge returns to the application management server 100 information on the application for which cooperation is desired selected from the above-mentioned cooperation candidates. The application management server 100 obtains this information, notifies the predetermined device of the application vendor of the application for which cooperation is desired indicated by the information that the cooperation request has been made, and acquires a response regarding whether or not to accept the request. If the answer is that cooperation is possible, the ID of the own application is set in the permitted application column of the corresponding record in the cooperation DB 128 (s6), and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination described above, if the intention of the application vendor is a request to publish the target application to customers of financial institutions (s4: request for publication), the application management server 100 executes the processing for publication. , the information of the target application is registered in the application DB 127 (s7), and the process ends. At this time, if the target application permits cooperation with other applications, that information is registered in the cooperation DB 128 .

Further, as a result of the determination described above, if the intention of the application vendor is a request to publish the target application as a target for cooperation with another application (s4: cooperation registration request), the application management server 100 performs examination/registration. As a registration process, for example, the information of the application is set in the examination flow by the operator of the portal providing system 10 or the application vendor, and after the examination, the information of the application is registered in the cooperation DB 128 (s8), End the process.
<Flow example 2>

Subsequently, the portal providing system 10 of the present embodiment distributes a dedicated site, that is, "Mypage", to the customer of each financial institution under the name of the financial institution, and the processing involved in distributing the application function according to the operation there. do. FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a flow example 2 of the portal providing method of this embodiment.

In this case, assume that a predetermined person in charge of a company that is a customer of a certain financial institution operates the company terminal 400 and performs a login operation. The company terminal 400 accepts the operation and transmits an authentication request including the details of the operation to the portal providing server 150 (s10).

On the other hand, the portal providing server 150 executes predetermined authentication processing based on the customer DB 156 in response to the authentication request, and sends a distribution request regarding the application under contract with respect to the company to the application management server 100 (s11).

The application management server 100 receives the distribution request, uses the ID of the company included in the distribution request as a key, identifies the application whose ID of the company is set in the "user" field in the application DB 127, and sends it to the portal. The providing server 150 is notified (s12).

The portal providing server 150 receives the above-mentioned notification and stores the information of the company (extracted from the customer DB 156) and the application icon indicated by the above-mentioned notification (preliminarily stored in a storage device or received from the application management server 100) is arranged, Mypage display data is generated, and this is distributed to the above-described company terminal 400 (s13).

The company terminal 400 receives this display data and displays it on a display or the like, like the screen 1000 in FIG. 14 (s14). In addition, the company terminal 400 receives an application selection instruction from the person in charge within Mypage (s15), and notifies the portal providing server 150 of the content.

The portal providing server 150 notifies the application management server 100 of an activation request for the application indicated by the content (s16). On the other hand, the application management server 100 transfers the activation request to the application function distribution server 300 (s17).

The application function distribution server 300 executes function distribution of the application (for example, by appropriately adopting technology such as SaaS) (s18). This function delivery is performed to the above-mentioned company terminal 400 from the application management server 100 via the portal providing server 150 (s19, s20), for example. At this time, the person in charge of operating the company terminal 400 recognizes that he/she is operating a desired application using Mypage provided by the financial institution.
Subsequently, the company terminal 400 accepts the operation of the application by the person in charge and transmits the contents thereof to the portal providing server 150 (s21).

The portal providing server 150 receives the content of the above operation from the company terminal 400 and transfers it to the application management server 100 (s22). The application management server 100 further transfers this operation content to the application function distribution server 400 (s23).

On the other hand, the application function distribution server 400 generates a processing result by giving the operation content transferred from the application management server 100 as an argument to the corresponding application, and transmits the processing result via the application management server 100 and the portal providing server 150. Then, it is returned to the company terminal 400 in the form of display on Mypage (s24, s26, s28).

At this time, the application function distribution server 400 may store the usage status of the application by (the person in charge of) the above company in an appropriate storage device. This also applies to the application management server 100 , and causes the analysis server 200 to store the information on the usage status described above in the usage history DB 225 .
In the company terminal 400, Mypage receives the processing result of the application described above, displays it on the display (s29), and ends the processing.
<Flow example 3>
Next, analysis processing in the analysis server 200 will be described. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing a flow example 3 of the portal providing method of this embodiment.

In this case, the analysis server 200 refers to the usage history DB 225, for example, according to a schedule agreed upon with a certain financial institution, or according to a request from a predetermined business operator who desires the results of data analysis. Information and usage history information of the company are extracted (s30).

In addition, the analysis server 200 analyzes the application usage trends according to the corporate attributes based on the information obtained in s30 (s31). This analysis is, for example, a process of identifying applications with more contracts or usage than a predetermined standard in a group of companies having common attributes such as region, industry, and size, and general statistical processing may be performed.

Subsequently, the analysis server 200 distributes the result of the analysis in s31 to the specified terminal of the above-mentioned financial institution or the terminal of the specified business operator that has made the above-mentioned request (s32), and ends the process. . The information distributed here can be assumed to be, for example, information 1102 (screen 1100 in FIG. 16) that recommends the use or contract of an application whose contract or usage is greater than a predetermined standard in a customer group having a common attribute. Here, it is conceivable to present information 1101 of the least used application, that is, the application whose use is not recommended, in addition to the information of the most used application, that is, the application that can be recommended. At that time, it is also preferable to perform control such that the level of events such as the frequency of use and the amount of data is displayed by the number of stars (higher frequency, larger amount of data).
<Flow example 4>

Next, the processing of application cooperation will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram showing a flow example 4 of the portal providing method of this embodiment. In this case, the company terminal 400 accepts the application operation by the person in charge on Mypage, and notifies the application function distribution server 400 of the content via the portal providing server 150 and the application management server 100, for example (s40). Here, it is assumed that "application 1" is the cooperation source and "application 2" is the cooperation destination.
The application function distribution server 400 responsible for distributing the function of "application 1" receives the above notification and requests the application management server 100 for inter-application cooperation (s41, s42).

On the other hand, the application management server 100 refers to the cooperation DB 128 and checks whether "application 1" is set as a permitted application of "application 2" described above, thereby determining whether cooperation is possible (s43).

As a result of the above determination, if cooperation is not possible (s44: N), the application management server 100 notifies the application function distribution server 400 of "application 1" of an error (s45). In this case, application function distribution server 400 receives the error notification, executes predetermined processing in a state in which cooperation with “application 2” is not possible (s46), and returns this to company terminal 400 as a processing result.

On the other hand, if the result of the above determination is that cooperation is possible (s44: Y), the application management server 100 executes the process of calling "application 2" to the application function distribution server 400 of "application 2". (s47). In response to this, the application function distribution server 400 of "application 2" performs a predetermined process (executes the process using a predetermined value included in the operation content as an argument) and returns the process result (s48).

The application management server 100 provides this processing result to the application function distribution server 400 of "application 1" (s49). The application function distribution server 400 in this case executes processing with the processing result of “application 2” as one of the arguments, generates a processing result (s46), and returns it to the company terminal 400. FIG.

The company terminal 400 acquires the processing result of "application 1", displays it as shown in the screen 1200 of FIG. 18 (s50), and ends the processing. This screen 1200 displays information 1201 of the processing result and its cooperation status. The example of FIG. 18 shows a state in which cooperation has succeeded.

<Flow example 5>

Next, data linkage will be described. FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a flow example 5 of the portal providing method of this embodiment. Here, data linkage between applications will be explained. In this case, for example, it is assumed that the application function distribution server 400 of "application 2" has transmitted a processing result processed within a certain period of time to the application management server 100 as a pre-cooperation request (s60). On the other hand, the application management server 100 receives this and stores it in the storage device 101 (s61).

After that, it is assumed that the application function distribution server 400 of "application 1" notifies the application management server 100 of the above-described data cooperation request with "application 2" (s62).

In this case, the application management server 100 determines whether cooperation between "application 1" and "application 2" is possible in the same manner as the determination of whether cooperation is possible in the flow of FIG. If there is (s64: N), an error notification is sent to the application function distribution server 400 of "application 1" (s65). In this case, the application function distribution server 400 for "application 1" executes a predetermined process when cooperation fails (s66), and terminates the process.

On the other hand, if the result of the above determination is that cooperation is possible (s64: Y), the processing result of "application 2" stored in s61 is provided to the application function distribution server 400 of "application 1" (s67).
In this case, the application function distribution server 400 for "application 1" executes a predetermined process using the provided process result as an argument (s66), and terminates the process.

Although the best mode for carrying out the present invention has been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be variously modified without departing from the scope of the invention.

According to this embodiment, it is possible to provide a service environment in which business tools for end users can be efficiently delivered without trouble by a business operator whose customer is the end user.

At least the following will be clarified by the description of this specification. That is, in the portal providing system of the present embodiment, the computing device receives an application contract request from a customer who uses the dedicated site via the dedicated site, and in response to the contract request, the storage device Based on the information of the application vendor of the above, the application vendor of the application is specified, the predetermined intermediary processing regarding the usage contract with the application vendor, and the information of the contract content concluded by the intermediary processing are transferred to the usage contract of the storage device may be further executed.

According to this, it becomes possible for each company to provide services in the form of an intermediary for application usage contracts between its customers and application vendors. From the customer's point of view, it is as if the company is providing support for the use contract, but the company provides such functions themselves via the portal provision system, so management and operation are troublesome and costly. It is possible to develop new services in a controlled manner.

Further, in the portal providing system of the present embodiment, the storage device further stores customer attribute information in each of the companies and information on the usage history of the application by the customer.

According to this, for example, an application that is often used by business operators in the same industry in the same area (“customers” in the present invention) is recommended to business operators with the attribute, and use is recommended. It is possible to encourage On the other hand, business operators who receive such recommendations can greatly reduce the effort of searching for the one that fits them from among a huge number of applications, further improving work efficiency. Similarly, it is possible to recommend businesses with the relevant attributes to cancel the use of peculiar apps that are shunned or not used at all by businesses in the same industry in the same region. . Business operators who receive such recommendations can significantly reduce the effort required to accurately determine and identify the apps they are using that are not really suitable for them, further improving their operational efficiency.

Further, in the portal providing system of the present embodiment, as a result of the analysis, the computing device distributes, to a predetermined device, recommended information about applications that have more contracts or usage than a predetermined standard in a customer group having a common attribute. Yes, you can.

According to this, for example, a standard application that is particularly frequently used by businesses in the same industry in the same region (“customers” in the present invention) is recommended to businesses with the attribute. It is possible to explicitly encourage the use of On the other hand, business operators who receive such recommendations can greatly reduce the effort of searching for the one that best fits them from among a huge number of applications, and it is easy to further improve operational efficiency.

Further, in the portal providing system of the present embodiment, the storage device further stores information regarding whether or not each application can be linked with another application, and the computing device is a device of a predetermined company that provides information via the dedicated site. When a processing request for a predetermined application is received, and the processing indicated by the processing request includes cooperation processing between the predetermined application and the other application, the predetermined application and the other application are based on the information regarding whether or not cooperation is possible. a process of judging whether or not cooperation is possible by performing a process of judging whether or not cooperation is possible based on the judgment result; providing a processing result of the other application to a server responsible for distributing functions of the predetermined application, and causing the predetermined application to perform processing according to the processing request. .
According to this, it is possible to efficiently achieve cooperation between applications based on the use contract of the applications and whether or not the cooperation is possible.

Further, in the portal providing system of the present embodiment, the storage device further stores information regarding whether or not each application can be linked with another application, and the computing device is a server responsible for distributing the functions of a predetermined application.
