  • Patent number: 10684750
    Abstract: A method for collaborative data entry in which a primary user enters data into an input terminal includes data being entered into a number of input fields on an input screen by the primary user. The input terminal has an interface for assigning entry of data into at least one of the input fields to an alternate user. The method includes, with the interface, assigning entry of data into at least one of the input fields to an alternate user. An apparatus allowing collaborative data entry includes an input terminal comprising a display device for displaying data to a user and a user input device for receiving input from a user; and a user interface of the input terminal, the interface comprising a number of input fields for receiving the input from a user and for assigning at least one the input field to an alternate user.

  • Patent number: 9299055
    Abstract: To avoid the need for off-line collaboration, a primary user who is attempting to enter data required for computer-based process may, as part of the data entry process, delegate data entry tasks for specific input fields to designated delegate users who are more likely to be knowledgeable about the data to be entered. Data entry operations performed by the primary user are recorded and used to build a transaction model which will enable a server to provide required data input screens to delegate users. Data entered by the delegate users is merged with data entered by the primary user to meet the requirements of the computer-based process.

  • Patent number: 8370750
    Abstract: A history acquisition unit acquires a history of operations with a web browser by a user and stores the history in a storage device. A search unit accesses the storage device to search a history of a first operation for inputting a parameter and a history of a second operation performed after the first operation. A generation unit generates a service program that provides services that the user has received through the operations with the web browser, and stores it in the storage device. The service program makes a computer function as: an input acceptance unit that accepts input of a new parameter instead of the parameter input through the first operation; and a processing unit that performs, in response to the new parameter, inputting the new parameter in the web page and processing associated with the second operation beforehand in this stated order with respect to the web browser.

  • Publication number: 20090043618
    Abstract: [Object] Even when multiple work processes depending on one another progress in parallel, it is possible to appropriately manage the progress of the whole work that includes these work processes. [Solution] A work management system for managing the progress of work is provided with a process recording section which records, in association with at least one of multiple work processes, previous processes which are other work processes providing a product for the work process; and a reference maturity degree recording section which records, for each of the previous processes associated with one work process recorded in the process recording section, a reference maturity degree which is the maturity degree of the product of the previous process required to start the one work process. For each of the previous processes recorded in the process recording section in association with one work process, the maturity degree of the product of the previous process is acquired.
