The determining unit 112 reads the user's operation history stored in the operation history DB 122, compares the read operation history with a predetermined operation pattern stored in the pattern DB 123, and determines whether the user Determine whether or not it cannot be found.

When the determination unit 112 determines that the user cannot find the document, the instruction unit 113 stores the proxy information of the document in a storage location specified from the user's operation history. The document management device 4 is instructed to do so.

The extraction unit 114 extracts the history of operations performed by the user using the document from the operation history DB at a predetermined timing. Then, if there is a document that has no history of being used by a user over a predetermined period of time, the extraction unit 114 causes the instruction unit 113 to instruct the document management device 4 to delete that document.

<Operation of information processing device>
The information processing device 1 performs an operation of storing alternative information of a document and an operation of deleting the document. The flow of each operation will be explained below using a flowchart.

<Operation to store document alternative information>
FIG. 11 is a flow diagram illustrating an example of the flow of operations for storing alternative information of a document. The processor 11 of the information processing device 1 acquires the history of the user's operations and determines whether the user has used the document (step S101). While determining that the user is not using the document (step S101; NO), the processor 11 continues to make this determination.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the user has used the document (step S101; YES), the processor 11 determines whether the operation history before use satisfies a predetermined condition (step S102). For example, the processor 11 compares a series of operations performed immediately before the user uses the document with a predetermined operation pattern, and determines the common ratio between the two. Then, the processor 11 determines whether the calculated ratio exceeds a predetermined threshold.

When determining that the operation history before use of the document does not satisfy the above-mentioned conditions (step S102; NO), the processor 11 ends the process. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation history before use of the document satisfies the above-mentioned conditions (step S102; YES), the processor 11 specifies the storage location where the above-mentioned document should be stored from the operation history (step S102; YES). S103). Then, the processor 11 generates alternative information for the document described above and instructs the document management device 4 to store the alternative information in the storage location specified in step S103 (step S104). Upon receiving this instruction, the document management device 4 stores the alternative information of this document in the storage location described above.

For example, if the user identified by the user ID "U11" has stored the operation history table 1222 shown in FIG. from "/home/U11" to "/home/U11/U111". Furthermore, this user performs the operation with operation ID "T502" to move the CWD to "/home/U11/U111/U1111", and then performs the operation with operation ID "T503" and operation ID "T504" continuously. and then perform the "Back" operation. Then, by operating the operation ID "T505", the user moves the CWD to "/home/U11/U112", and by operating the operation ID "T506", the user moves the CWD to "f41" stored there. Use this document.

For example, the pattern DB 123 shown in FIG. 8 includes an operation pattern identified by pattern ID "P61" in which the CWD is moved to a certain location, the CWD is returned without using any document, and then Operation patterns for using documents found elsewhere are memorized. The processor 11 compares the operations in the operation history table 1222 shown in FIG. 7 with the operation patterns stored in the pattern DB 123 to determine the proportion of common parts. When determining that this calculated ratio exceeds the threshold, the processor 11 determines that this user's operation is an operation when the user is unable to find a document, and based on the history of the above-mentioned operations, the processor 11 determines that the user's operation Specify the directory before the return operation as the storage location where the used document should be stored. In this case, the soft link of the document named "f41" is stored in, for example, "/home/U11/U111/U1111" as alternative information for this document.

Note that in the embodiment described above, the processor 11 of the information processing device 1 instructs the document management device 4 to store alternative information of the document, but the processor 11 instructs the document management device 4 to store the document itself, not the alternative information of the document. You may give instructions. This instruction may be an instruction to store a copy of the document, or an instruction to move the document to the storage location described above. In short, the processor 11 only has to instruct the document management device 4 to store the document or alternative information of the document in the storage location specified from the operation history, and the document management device 4 stores the specified document in accordance with this instruction. The document or alternative information of the document may be stored in the specified storage location.

In other words, the processor 11 that executes this "operation of storing alternative information for a document" acquires the history of user operations regarding the document, and uses the document after the user performs a predetermined operation among those histories. This is an example of a processor that stores this document or alternative information of this document in a storage location specified from this history when there is a history of this document.

In particular, in the example described above, the processor 11 has an operation pattern in which the CWD is moved to a certain location, then returns without using any document, and then uses a document found at another location. Stores alternative information for a document when a user performs a common operation. That is, this processor 11 uses a document stored in a second storage location different from the first storage location in the history after the user changes the viewing destination to the first storage location and then changes the viewing destination back to the original location. This is an example of a processor that stores this document or alternative information of this document in a first storage location if there is a history of this document.

For example, after the user identified by this user ID "U11" moves the CWD to "/home/U11/U111/U1111" and returns without using any document, a document named "f41" is created. If used multiple times, this means that the user has a habit of thinking that the document indicated by "f41" is stored in "/home/U11/U111/U1111". There is. Therefore, when the processor 11 performs the above-described operation, the next time this user views "/home/U11/U111/U1111", if alternative information for "f41" is stored here, this user , it is possible to save the trouble of moving to another storage location and searching for the document indicated by "f41".

<Operation to delete a document>
FIG. 12 is a flow diagram showing an example of the flow of operations for deleting a document. The processor 11 extracts the operation history of the user using the document from the operation history DB 122 (step S201), and uses the extracted operation history to determine whether the document has been used by any user for a predetermined period of time. It is determined whether there is a document (step S202). If it is determined that this document does not exist (step S202; NO), the processor 11 ends this process. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a document that has no history of being used by any user over a predetermined period (step S202; YES), the processor 11 instructs the document management device 4 to delete the document. instruction (step S203). The document management device 4 receives this instruction and deletes the above-mentioned document.

The processor 11 that executes this "operation of deleting documents" is an example of a processor that deletes documents that have no history of being used by a user over a predetermined period of time. According to this configuration, the information processing device 1 can delete documents that are no longer used. Note that the processor 11 does not have to execute this "action of deleting a document".

The above is the operation of the information processing device 1 of the information processing system 9 according to the present embodiment. For example, even if there is a predetermined storage location for a document, each user may have a different storage location or different interpretation of the document. Therefore, documents may not be stored in the designated storage location. Furthermore, even if an administrator stores a document in a predetermined storage location, the user is not aware of it, and when using the document, the user has to wastefully go back and forth between directories to find the document, and the search function There were times when I wasted a lot of time relying on

As described above, the information processing device 1 of the information processing system 9 stores a document or information that is a substitute for the document in a location where the user can find it by tracing the hierarchy without having to repeatedly move or search. . Therefore, users can find documents and alternative information for documents in storage locations that are easy for them to understand or that they naturally try to search for. You don't have to waste your time.

<Modified example>
The above is the description of the embodiment, but the content of this embodiment can be modified as follows. Moreover, the following modifications may be combined with each other.

<1>
In the embodiment described above, the information processing device 1 had the processor 11 configured with a CPU, but the control means for controlling the information processing device 1 may have another configuration. For example, the information processing device 1 may include various processors in addition to the CPU.

Processor here refers to a processor in a broad sense, including a general-purpose processor (for example, the CPU mentioned above), a dedicated processor (for example, GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic devices, etc.).

<2>
The operations of the processor in the embodiments described above may be performed not only by one processor, but also by the cooperation of a plurality of processors located at physically separate locations.

Furthermore, the order of each operation of the processor is not limited to the order described in the embodiments described above, and may be changed as appropriate.

<3>
In the embodiment described above, the information processing device 1 is a separate device from the document management device 4, but it may also be implemented to have the functions of the document management device 4. Further, the information processing device 1 may have the functions of the terminal 2. In this case, the information processing device 1 may have a configuration corresponding to the operation section 24 and the display section 25 in the terminal 2.

<4>
In the embodiment described above, the pattern DB 123 stores an operation pattern in which the CWD is moved to a certain location, then returned without using any document, and then uses a document found at another location. However, other operation patterns may be stored. For example, the pattern DB 123 may store an operation pattern for using a document after specifying a condition and instructing a search for a document that satisfies the condition.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of an operation history table 1222 in a modified example. For example, if the user identified by the user ID "U12" has stored the operation history table 1222 shown in FIG. "/home/U12" to "/home/U12/U121". Then, this user inputs the character string "f42" by operating the operation ID "T512" and searches for the document named "f42".

As a result of the search, paths including "f42" are displayed on the display unit 25 of the terminal 2. The above-mentioned user selects "/pub/J31/J312" from among the displayed paths by operating the operation ID "T513" and moves the CWD there. Then, this user performs the operation with the operation ID "T514" and uses the document indicated by "f42" stored in "/pub/J31/J312".

In the pattern DB 123 shown in FIG. 8, for example, as an operation pattern identified by pattern ID "P62", when CWD is set to a certain location (i.e., the first storage location) and files etc. under the location are being viewed, Specify a condition and instruct a search for documents that meet the condition, then move the CWD to the location where the retrieved document is stored (i.e., the second storage location) and create an operation pattern for using that document. remembered. The processor 11 compares the operations in the operation history table 1222 shown in FIG. 13 with the operation patterns stored in the pattern DB 123 to determine the proportion of common parts. If it is determined that this determined ratio exceeds the threshold value, the processor 11 determines that this user's operation is an operation when the user is unable to find a document. Then, the processor 11 identifies the CWD when the search was instructed, as the storage location where the document used by the user should be stored, from the history of the operations described above. In this case, the soft link of the document named "f42" is stored in, for example, "/home/U12/U121" as alternative information for this document.

The operation shown in FIG. 13 by the user described above moves to "/home/U12/U121", but the target document identified by "f42" is not found, so a search is performed to find this document. , is interpreted as having been used. The document management device 4 stores the alternative information for the document identified by "f42" in "/home/U12/U121" according to the instruction from the processor 11, so that from the next time this user will When moving to "U121", there is no need to search for the document identified by "f42".

In other words, the processor 11 in this case uses a document stored in a second storage location different from the first storage location in the history after the user performs an operation to instruct a search while viewing the first storage location. This is an example of a processor that stores the document or alternative information of the document in the first storage location when there is a history of the document.

Note that the above-mentioned condition was that a search was instructed while the first storage location was being viewed, but an operation pattern that caused a search to be instructed other than while the first storage location was being viewed may also be stored as a condition. . In this case, the storage location where the alternative information of the document is stored is specified regardless of where the user was viewing at the time of the search. For example, if a user searches for a document while not viewing any directory, the processor 11 may specify a predetermined directory associated with the user as the storage location. In other words, the processor 11 in this case specifies the information from the history if there is a history in which a document was used after the user specified a condition and performed an operation to instruct a search for a document that satisfies the condition. This is an example of a processor that stores the document or alternative information of the document in a storage location.

In the embodiment described above, the processor 11 of the information processing device 1 compares the operation of one user with a predetermined operation pattern, and depending on the result, the processor 11 selects the document used or alternative information of the document to the user. was stored in a storage location determined from the operation history. However, the processor 11 may determine a storage location for storing the used document or alternative information for the document by comparing the operations of a plurality of users and the above-described operation pattern.

For example, the document identified by "f43" shown in FIG. 3 is stored in "/home/U12/U121". That is, this document is stored under the home directory of the user identified by user ID "U12." If this document is also searched by users identified by user IDs "U11" and "U13", if the user identified by user ID "U12" does not allow other users to view it, The user cannot use the document.

In this case, the processor 11 requests the user identified by the user ID "U12" to use the document identified by "f43" from the users identified by the user IDs "U11" and "U13", respectively. You can request permission to do so. When the user grants permission in response to this request, the processor 11 stores the data in the storage locations associated with the groups to which all of the users identified by the user IDs "U11," "U12," and "U13" belong. , "f43", or alternative information of this document may be stored.

For example, the users identified by the user IDs "U11", "U12", and "U13" all belong to the group identified by the group ID "G21" in the user DB 121, as shown in FIG. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the processor 11 may store alternative information for the document identified by "f43" under, for example, "/group/G21/G212". As a result, all members who have searched for the document identified by "f43" can view alternative information for this document and can use this document.

In other words, the processor 11 in this case is identified from the history of documents used by a plurality of users after each operation, and is associated with a group to which all of the plurality of users belong. This is an example of a processor that stores the document or alternative information of the document in a storage location.
