  FIG. 3 shows a flow of an operation example of the business execution support apparatus according to the present invention. In FIG. 3, based on an instruction input by the user from the input device 14, the migration designation unit 24 designates in the migration control unit 26 in what order the tasks and processes are to be migrated (S <b> 101). Here, the designated migration method includes, for example, a method of migrating to an unexecuted cell in the same process in a different business, a method of migrating to an unexecuted cell in a heterogeneous process in a different business, or a heterogeneous process in the same business There is a method of migrating to an unexecuted cell.

  Based on the designation of the migration designation unit 24, the migration control unit 26 determines the migration destination business, process, and cell from the business list stored in the business list storage unit 32, and presents the information to the presentation control unit 22. Is instructed (S102).

  The presentation control unit 22 presents information while switching operations, processes, and cells based on instructions from the migration control unit 26. The user switches the content of the business to be executed based on the information that the presentation control unit 22 presents to the presentation device 12 in a short time. Here, the presentation control unit 22 monitors whether the target business has been completed or whether there has been a termination instruction from the user (S103), and if there is no business termination or termination instruction, It is monitored whether or not the cell currently being executed has ended (a predetermined time has elapsed) (S104). In S104, when the cell is completed, the presentation control unit 22 outputs a migration request to the migration control unit 26 (S105), and the steps from S102 are repeated. In addition, in S105, it is good also as a structure which the transfer designation | designated part 24 can interrupt and change a transfer method.

  In S103, when there is an end or end instruction for the business, the cyclic presentation of information necessary for the execution of the business is ended.

  FIG. 4 shows a flow of another operation example of the business execution support apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is an operation example in the case where the migration designation unit 24 designates a method for migrating to an unexecuted cell in the same kind of process in a different job in S101 of FIG. 3 and is a specific example of steps after S102. . This operation example is preferably performed when the similarity of business contents is high. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of the migration method in the present embodiment. In FIG. 5, each cell is indicated by a business number, a process code, and a cell number. For example, the cell belonging to the process A of the business 1 is 1A-1, and the cells belonging to the process B of the business 1 are represented as 1B-1, 1B-2, 1B-3, 1B-4. The same applies to other cells.

  In FIG. 4, based on the designation of the migration designation unit 24, the migration control unit 26 selects a business to be executed from the business list stored in the business list storage unit 32, and creates an execution business list (S201). Here, the tasks included in the execution task list are tasks having a high similarity in the structure of information determined from the task title, the number of processes, the number of cells, and the like, and are ordered. Note that the entire business list stored in the business list storage unit 32 may be the execution business list.

  Next, the migration control unit 26 determines a business, a process, and a cell to be executed first from the execution business list, and instructs the presentation control unit 22 of cell information to be presented (S202). The presentation control unit 22 causes the presentation device 12 to present information on the instructed cell. The cell designated at this time is an unexecuted cell (S203).

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the cell 1C-2 belonging to the process C of the business 1 is designated as the cell to be executed first. In addition, it can be set as the structure which a user specifies beforehand from which work, process, and cell a cyclic | annular presentation is started.

  The presentation control unit 22 monitors whether or not the cell currently being executed has ended (a predetermined time has elapsed) (S204). When the currently executing cell ends, the presentation control unit 22 notifies the migration control unit 26, and the task to which the ended cell belongs is set as the last order in the execution task list (S205).

  The migration control unit 26 determines a task, a process, and a cell to be executed next, and instructs the presentation control unit 22 of cell information to be presented. In the present embodiment, an unexecuted cell in the same type of process belonging to a task different from the task that has been executed previously is designated (S206). If there is no unexecuted cell in the next scheduled task, this task is skipped and the next task is specified.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, the cell 2C-3 belonging to the process C of the business 2 is designated as the cell to be executed next. If the cell 2C-3 has already been executed, the process 2 and the cell included in the work 3 are specified by skipping the work 2. In this way, operations are sequentially selected, and processes and cells belonging to each operation are cyclically presented.

  Next, the presentation control unit 22 monitors whether the target business has been completed or whether there has been an end instruction from the user (S207). If there is no business end or end instruction, the steps from S203 are repeated. Further, when there is an end or end instruction for the business, the cyclic presentation of information necessary for the execution of the business is ended.

As an example of the business that employs the cyclic presentation in the present embodiment, there can be listed a board of directors of a company having the following five different business as agenda items.
Business 1: Company A acquisition case interim report business 2: Technology B development investment project business 3: Personnel policy approval project business 4: Information management rules business 5: Depending on the general meeting of shareholders

  Each of these tasks is a task that is divided into processes and cells by the task dividing unit 30 or the user, and is judged to have high structural similarity. At the board of directors, the cells belonging to the same type of process are cyclically presented, and members of the board of directors express their opinions, approve or deny them, and process the tasks.

  FIG. 6 shows a flow of still another operation example of the business execution support apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 6 is an operation example in the case where the migration designation unit 24 designates a method of migrating to an unexecuted cell in a different process in a different business in S101 of FIG. 3 and is a specific example of steps after S102. . This operation example is preferably performed when the similarity of business contents is low. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of the migration method in the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 6, based on the designation of the migration designation unit 24, the migration control unit 26 selects a business to be executed from the business list stored in the business list storage unit 32, and creates an execution business list (S301). Here, the tasks included in the execution task list are tasks having a low similarity in the structure of information determined from the task title, the number of processes, the number of cells, and the like, and are ordered. Note that the entire business list stored in the business list storage unit 32 may be the execution business list.

  Next, the migration control unit 26 determines a task, process, and cell to be executed first from the execution task list, and instructs the presentation control unit 22 of cell information to be presented (S302). The presentation control unit 22 causes the presentation device 12 to present information on the instructed cell. The cell designated at this time is an unexecuted cell (S303).

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the cell 1C-2 belonging to the process C of the business 1 is designated as the cell to be executed first.

  The presentation control unit 22 monitors whether or not the cell currently being executed has ended (a predetermined time has elapsed) (S304). When the cell currently being executed ends, the presentation control unit 22 notifies the migration control unit 26, and the task to which the ended cell belongs is set as the last order in the execution task list (S305).

  The migration control unit 26 determines a task, a process, and a cell to be executed next, and instructs the presentation control unit 22 of cell information to be presented. In the present embodiment, an unexecuted cell in a different process belonging to a task different from the previously executed task is designated (S306). As a method of designating different types of processes, for example, information on executed tasks and processes is stored in a short-term storage area formed in the storage device 18, and the presentation control unit 22 has recently executed with reference to this short-term storage area. It can be configured not to designate the same type of process as the process. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the default setting is not to specify a process of the same type as the process specified in the last three transitions, and the configuration can be appropriately changed thereafter. If there is no unexecuted cell in the next scheduled task, this task is skipped and the next task is specified.

  In the example shown in FIG. 7, the cell 2D-3 belonging to the process D of the business 2 is designated as the cell to be executed next. If the cell 2D-3 has already been executed, the process 2 and the cell included in the work 3 are specified by skipping the work 2. In this way, operations are sequentially selected, and processes and cells belonging to each operation are cyclically presented.

  Next, the presentation control unit 22 monitors whether the target business has been completed or whether there has been a termination instruction from the user (S307). If there is no business end or end instruction, the information of the process to which the cell ended in S304 belongs is added to the short-term storage area, the stored information is updated (S308), and the steps from S303 repeat. Further, when there is an end or end instruction for the business, the cyclic presentation of information necessary for the execution of the business is ended.

The following system development example is given as an example of a business that employs cyclic presentation in the present embodiment.
Business 1: Customer management system development business 2: Medical database system development business 3: Design drawing management system development business 4: Mobile work support system development business 5: On-site monitoring system development

Each of these operations includes the following six processes.
Process 1: Software configuration review process 2: Hardware design process 3: Infrastructure and environment assumption process 4: Useware devising process 5: Budget management process 6: Schedule management

  In this embodiment, for example, the hardware design of the process 2 is performed in the business 1, the useware of the process 4 is then devised in the business 2, and then the schedule management of the process 6 is performed in the business 3. In this way, the operation shifts to a different operation for each cell and executes different processes in a short time.

  FIG. 8 shows a flow of still another operation example of the business execution support apparatus according to the present invention. FIG. 8 is an operation example when the migration designation unit 24 designates a method for migrating to an unexecuted cell in a different process in the same job in S101 of FIG. 3, and is a specific example of steps after S102. . This operation example is preferably performed when a single job is processed in a concentrated manner. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of the migration method in the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 8, based on the designation of the migration designation unit 24, the migration control unit 26 selects a business to be executed from the business list stored in the business list storage unit 32, and creates an execution business list (S401). Here, the number of tasks included in the execution task list may be one.

  Next, the migration control unit 26 determines a process and a cell to be executed first from the execution work list, and instructs the presentation control unit 22 of cell information to be presented (S402). The presentation control unit 22 causes the presentation device 12 to present information on the instructed cell. The cell designated at this time is an unexecuted cell (S403).

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the cell 1C-2 belonging to the process C of the business 1 is designated as the cell to be executed first.

  The presentation control unit 22 monitors whether or not the cell currently being executed has ended (a predetermined time has elapsed) (S404). When the currently executing cell ends, the presentation control unit 22 notifies the transition control unit 26.

  The migration control unit 26 determines a process and a cell to be executed next, and instructs the presentation control unit 22 of information on the cell to be presented. In the present embodiment, an unexecuted cell that belongs to a process (heterogeneous process) different from the previously executed process is designated (S405). As a method for designating different types of processes, for example, information on executed processes is stored in a short-term storage area formed in the storage device 18, and the presentation control unit 22 refers to this short-term storage area and recently executed processes. It can be configured not to specify the same type of process. In this case, for example, it is preferable that the default setting is not to specify a process of the same type as the process specified in the last three transitions, and the configuration can be appropriately changed thereafter. If there is no unexecuted cell in the process scheduled to be executed next, this process is skipped and the next process is designated.

  In the example shown in FIG. 9, the cell 1D-4 belonging to the process D of the business 1 is designated as the cell to be executed next. If the cell 1D-4 has already been executed, the process D is skipped and the cell included in the process E is designated. In this way, the processes are sequentially selected, and cells belonging to each process are cyclically presented.

  Next, the presentation control unit 22 monitors whether the target business has been completed or whether there has been a termination instruction from the user (S406). If there is no business termination or termination instruction, information on the process to which the cell terminated in S404 belongs is added to the short-term storage area, the stored information is updated (S407), and the steps from S403 repeat. Further, when there is an end or end instruction for the business, the cyclic presentation of information necessary for the execution of the business is ended.

As an example of the business that employs the cyclic presentation in the present embodiment, there is the following example of a conference (business) that examines a plurality of examination issues (processes) related to an event operated by a certain company.
Step 1: Share the purpose and purpose of the event and confirm the goal of the first meeting Step 2: Check the overall image of the task and review additional corrections Step 3: Review individual issues Step 4: Summarize the proposed measures Step 5: Future schedule review

  Each of these steps has one or more cells. This cell is switched every three minutes, for example, and it is presented and examined. In this case, the cell may be cyclically presented from the cell in step 1 or the cells may be cyclically presented in the order of other steps.

  In each embodiment described above, the information presented to the presentation device 12 is configured not to be presented during the subsequent presentation of the cell, but is not limited thereto. For example, while presenting a cell in a certain process, the contents of a cell previously presented for review may be presented by the voice reproducing device 12b. In addition, while presenting a cell in a certain process, the content of the cell scheduled to be presented may be presented by voice by the voice playback device 12b for preparation.
