Abstract: A workflow system comprising a plurality of workflow subsystems connected to a LAN (Local Area Network), these workflow subsystems being composed of servers and clients, and provides a workflow system which permits an integrated management of the definitions of the business processes placed under decentralized management, through the server managing shipping documents, BPs (Business Processes) describing shipping routes of shipping documents in the subsystem, and business process connection data to connect the BPs.

Abstract: An electronic document circulating system utilizing a network, to attain simplification of the operation procedure by a transmitting person and facilitation of the temporary circulation of a document, a circulation control unit circulates the circular document indicated by document management information stored in a document management information store unit based on circulation control information indicative of a circular route of the circular document stored in a circulation control information store unit and role definition information for relating a plurality of users to a role shared among equal users stored in a role definition information store unit. The circular document is transmitted to a user selected based on a predetermined criterion, of users in the role designated by the transmitting person. When the document is transmitted for consultation, temporary circulation control information is set and the exact document is returned.

Abstract: A digitized document circulating system includes a unit provided in a transmission source of a digitized document and for sending the digitized document, a unit for delivering the digitized document to a transmission destination to thereby circulate the digitized document, a unit provided in the transmission destination and for receiving the digitized document, a unit operated by the delivery unit and for obtaining a circulation history containing delivery time, an identifier of the digitized document, the transmission source and the transmission destination, a unit for reading the circulation history and transferring the circulation history to a requester in response to a request for the circulation history issued from the requester, and a unit for displaying the circulation history received.

Abstract: A work flow management system has circulation control functions for carrying out branching, queuing, dividing, broadcasting, recovering, holding and substitute of a circulation material in the work flow system that carries out at automatic sequential circulation of electronic information. Thus, a work requiring a complex circulation control can be done by an electronic system. The work flow management system includes a circulation material sending and receiving unit which has functions of entering, sending, receiving, referencing and updating a circulation material for the users who are the subscribers of the work flow system, the circulation material defining unit which defines a circulation destination and the circulation control for the users who manage the work flow, and the circulation material control unit which circulates a circulation material in accordance with circulation definitions defined by the circulation material defining unit.

Abstract: In an electronic document circulating system utilizing a network, in order to attain simplification of the operation procedure by a transmitting person and facilitation of the temporary circulation of a document, a circulation control unit circulates the circular document indicated by document management information stored in a document management information store unit on the basis of circulation control information indicative of a circular route of the circular document stored in a circulation control information store unit and role definition information for relating a plurality of users to a role shared among equal users stored in a role definition information store unit. In the circulation, the circular document is transmitted to a user selected by the system on the basis of a predetermined criterion, of users in the role designated by the transmitting person.

Abstract: A speech recognition system realizing large-vocabulary speech recognition at a low cost without deteriorating the rate of recognition and a recognition speed performance is provided with a dictionary change-over section for making a change-over between dictionaries to be subjected to speech recognition in accordance with dictionary change-over information, a first memory for storing a plurality of dictionaries, a second memory for storing one dictionary made an object of recognition, and a speech recognition section for performing a speech recognition processing, whereby speech recognition is performed while making a change-over between dictionaries, as required. For example, in a car navigation speech recognition system, the change-over between dictionaries is made for each area in accordance with position information.
