This application is based on and claims priority under 35 USC 119 from Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-044949 filed Mar. 18, 2021.
The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus and a non-transitory computer readable medium.
In the related art, various information such as files have been exchanged using a social network service (SNS). An information processing apparatus such as a commercial transaction support apparatus is known which uses the SNS to cause a seller to promote an item and to provide an item or a service to a purchaser. For example, JP-A-2013-012052 discloses a commercial transaction support apparatus including a posting page generator, a posting unit, and an SNS page generator. The posting page generator generates a posting page for posting to an in-site SNS and an off-site SNS on a terminal device (purchaser terminal) operated by a person who wants to purchase and transmits the posting page to an access source. The posting unit stores estimate request information on an item that the person wants to purchase and/or a service that the person wants to purchase which are input through the posting page displayed on the purchaser terminal, in a storage unit as post information for the in-site SNS. The posting unit posts the estimate request information to the off-site SNS. The posting unit stores estimate information indicating an estimate that is made based on the estimate request information displayed on a terminal device operated by a seller who provides the item that the person wants to purchase and/or the service that the person wants to purchase in the storage unit as the post information for the in-site SNS. The SNS page generator generates a page on which the posted information stored in the storage unit is published as published information of the in-site SNS and transmits the page to the access source.
When a file is registered so as to be available to plural users, information such as posts by other users with respect to the registered file are valid. However, the information such as the posts by the other users may lack accuracy. A user who has registered the file may not be able to obtain appropriate information on the registered file.
Aspects of non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure relate to an information processing apparatus and a non-transitory computer readable medium that can, when a file that has been registered so as to be available to plural users is used by another user different from a user who has registered the file, present information about the use of the file to the registering user.
Aspects of certain non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure address the above advantages and/or other advantages not described above. However, aspects of the non-limiting embodiments are not required to address the advantages described above, and aspects of the non-limiting embodiments of the present disclosure may not address advantages described above.
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided an information processing apparatus including: a processor configured to: when performing control of outputting a file from a storage unit in accordance with a request from a using user, issue second identification information to the using user, the file having been stored by a registering user in the storage unit, the file being associated with first identification information for identifying the file, the second identification information to be used for recording information related to use of the file; and upon receipt of the second identification information from the using user, perform control of recording the information related to the use of the file.

As illustrated in
In the present exemplary embodiment, a case will be described in which the information processing system 10 is capable of using a communication service 40. The communication service 40 is an example of a system that provides a site capable of supporting construction of communication between users by sharing information such as sharing files using the network. The communication service 40 is applicable to a communication service that enables the users to communicate with each other, such as an SNS, an Internet forum, a news site, and a blog. In the present exemplary embodiment, the SNS is employed as an example of the communication service 40. The communication service 40 is hereinafter referred to as an “SNS 40”. Since the communication service such as the SNS is a known technique, detailed description of a configuration and an operation thereof will be omitted.
The information processing apparatus 20 is an apparatus that allows a using user to use a print file of a registering user and executes a process of supporting posting of feedback information of the using user who has used the print file. Specifically, the information processing apparatus 20 executes a series of processes that allow the user who has registered the print file (hereinafter referred to as the “registering user”) to refer to posts such as feedback from the user who has used the print file (hereinafter referred to as the “using user”).
The information processing apparatus 20 includes a file registration unit 22 that executes a process of registering the print file, and a feedback posting unit 24 that executes a feedback process on the print file. The information processing apparatus 20 includes a database 22D for registering the print file.

The storage unit 64 stores a unique program 60P that causes the image forming apparatus 60 to function as an implementation apparatus that implements the image processing function. The storage unit 64 also stores various data 60D to be used in the image forming apparatus 60. With such a configuration, the image forming apparatus 60 that has executed the unique program 60P operates so as to be able to execute the image processing function including the image forming function and the image reading function.
The file registration unit 22 is an execution device that executes a process related to the registering of the print file, and is also a functional unit that implements a part of the functions of the information processing apparatus 20. Specifically, the file registration unit 22 is a device that executes a process of registering the print file in the database 22D according to an instruction from the registering user. That is, when the print file is transmitted from the registering-side terminal 30, the file registration unit 22 stores the transmitted print file in the database 22D. The file registration unit 22 issues a key (specifically, a file specifying key) as first identification information for uniquely identifying the print file, and registers the file specifying key in the database 22D. The file registration unit 22 also has a function of (i) issuing a key (specifically, a feedback ID) as second identification information indicating that it is possible to make feedback on the print file, when printing of the print file has been requested and the printing of the print file is completed, and (ii) registering the feedback ID in the database 22D.
As illustrated in
Functional units including a communication unit 226 that can communicate with an external apparatus, an operation input unit 227, and a display 228 are connected to the I/O 225. These functional units can communicate with the CPU 221 via the I/O 225.
The computer body 220 may be configured as a sub-controller that controls a part of operation of the information processing apparatus 20, or may be configured as a part of a main-controller that controls an overall operation of the information processing apparatus 20. For example, an integrated circuit such as a large scale integration (LSI) or an integrated circuit (IC) chip set is used for a part or all of blocks of the computer body 220. Individual circuits may be used for the respective blocks. Alternatively, a circuit in which a part or all of the individual circuits are integrated may be used for each block. The blocks may be integrally provided, or a part of the blocks may be provided separately. A part of each of the blocks may be provided separately. Integration of the computer body 220 is not limited to the LSI. A dedicated circuit or a general-purpose processor may be used.
The storage unit 224 stores a file processing program 22P that causes the file registration unit 22 to function as a device in the information processing apparatus 20 that executes a file registration process. The CPU 221 reads the file processing program 22P from the storage unit 224, loads the file processing program 22P into a RAM 222, and executes the process. Accordingly, the file registration unit 22 that has executed the file processing program 22P operates as the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure. The file processing program 22P may be provided in a form of a recording medium such as a CD-ROM. The CPU 221 reads the file processing program 22P from the recording medium, loads the file processing program 22P into the RAM 222, and executes the process. Accordingly, the file registration unit 22 that has executed the file processing program 22P operates as the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure.
The database (DB) 22D is stored in the storage unit 224. Data that are available on the information processing apparatus 20 are accumulated in the DB 22D. The database 22D is not limited to one stored in the storage unit 224. For example, the database 22D may be stored in an external apparatus (not illustrated) that is used in a file server or the like, and may perform inquiry or writing to the external device (not illustrated) via a communication line.
The feedback posting unit 24 is an execution device that executes a process related to the feedback process on the print file, and is also a functional unit that implements a part of the functions of the information processing apparatus 20. Specifically, the feedback posting unit 24 is a device that executes a process of registering the feedback information including feedback on the print file based on the key (that is, the feedback ID), which is the second identification information issued in printing the print file. For example, the feedback posting unit 24 is a device capable of carrying out feedback to the SNS 40.
As illustrated in
The storage unit 244 stores a feedback process program 24P that causes the feedback posting unit 24 to function as an execution device in the information processing apparatus 20 that executes a feedback posting process. The CPU 241 reads the feedback process program 24P from the storage unit 224, loads the feedback process program 24P into the RAM 243, and executes the process. Accordingly, the feedback posting unit 24 that has executed the feedback process program 21P operates as the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure.
Next, an operation of the information processing system 10 will be described focusing on an operation of the information processing apparatus 20 according to the present exemplary embodiment. In the present exemplary embodiment, a description will be given of a case in which a print file is registered by a registering user so as to be available to a using user, the using user prints the registered print file with the image forming apparatus 60, and then feedback information related to the print file printed by the using user is posted.
As illustrated in
The file registration unit 22 receives the print file (for example, the print file specified by the name) from the registering-side terminal 30, and executes a registration process of the print file (step S202). The registration process of the print file includes (i) registering the received print file in the database 22D and (ii) generating a file specifying key for identifying the registered print file. In the registration process of the print file, the print file (for example, the file name) and the file specifying key are registered in association with each other. Specifically, the CPU 221 of the file registration unit 22 receives the print file from the registering-side terminal 30 and registers the print file in the database 22D. The CPU 221 of the file registration unit 22 generates the file specifying key. That is, upon registering the print file in the database 22D, the CPU 221 of the file registration unit 22 generates and register the file specifying key for associating the print file with the registered print file. The CPU 221 of the file registration unit 22 may register information including, for example, a registration date and time of the print file and/or a size of the print file in the database 22D as information related to the print file, in association with the file name of the print file or the file specifying key. The information related to the print file may include information indicating a location of the registered print file on the database 22D, for example, a location where the print file registered can be specified via the network NT. Then, the file registration unit 22 executes a process of issuing, that is, transmitting at least the generated file specifying key as a response to the registering-side terminal 30 from which the registration request has been received (step S204). In step S204, the file registration unit 22 may generate a reduced image (for example, a thumbnail image) of the registered print file, and transmit information including the generated reduced image or the information related to the print file.
The file specifying key also serves as information indicating that, after the registration, the registered print file will be specified with the file specifying for print, that is, serves as reservation information indicating that printing has been reserved. In this aspect, reservation information for reserving printing may be registered. Character string information indicating an alphanumeric character string having a predetermined number of digits (for example, 8 digits or 12 digits a character string including symbols may be applied to the file specifying key. In the generation of the file specifying key, character string information indicating a character string including, for example, a combination of random characters may be generated so as to be unique information to each print file. The file specifying key is not limited to the character string information, but may be code information (for example, one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcode) corresponding to the character string information.
Accordingly, the information processing apparatus 20 registers the print file in the database 22D in response to the request for registration of the print file from the registering-side terminal 30, generates at least the file specifying key for specifying the print file, and transmits the generated file specifying key as the response to the registering-side terminal 30.
As illustrated in
When the share flag has been set to “NO” by the registering user, the CPU 31 of the registering-side terminal 30 does not post the registered print file to the SNS 40, or posts the registered print file to the SNS 40 in a manner that is unavailable to the using user and posts the registered print file. On the other hand, when the share flag has been set to “YES”, the CPU 31 of the registering-side terminal 30 posts the registered print file to the SNS 40 so as to be available to the using user. Specifically, in this posting, the CPU 31 of the registering-side terminal 30 posts the information including the file specifying key of the print file, and this posting allows the using user to browse the print file (for example, the thumbnail image).
The SNS 40 receives the post from the registering-side terminal 30 and performs control of allowing the user to browse the post.
Meanwhile, by browsing the post in the SNS 40, the using user browses the print file (for example, the thumbnail image) of the registering user (step S208), specifies the print file to be used, and acquires the file specifying key of the print file (step S210). Specifically, in order for the using user to browse the post on the SNS 40, the CPU 51 of the using-side terminal 50 accesses the SNS 40, transmits a signal indicating a request for browsing the post, and receives the file specifying key for specifying the print file posted by the registering user from the SNS 40.
Then, in order to use (print) the specified print file, the using user inputs the file specifying key of the print file to the image forming apparatus 60 (step S212). The image forming apparatus 60 receives an instruction to print the print file by the using user. Specifically, the CPU 61 of the image forming apparatus 60 acquires the file specifying key indicating the print file by reading information input to the unit 67.
The image forming apparatus 60 requests the file registration unit 22 for the print file corresponding to the file specifying key input by the using user (step S214). Specifically, the CPU 61 of the image forming apparatus 60 requests an output of the print file by transmitting the file specifying key input to the file registration unit 22.
The file registration unit 22 transmits the print file corresponding to the received file specifying key as a response to the image forming apparatus 60 (step S216). Specifically, the CPU 221 of the file registration unit 22 extracts, from the database 22D, the print file (
The image forming apparatus 60 receives the print file transmitted from the file registration unit 22 and executes a print process (step S217).
Accordingly, according to the request for the output of the print file that the image forming apparatus 60 has made using the file specifying key, the information processing apparatus 20 specifies the corresponding print file with the database 22D. Then, the information processing apparatus 20 transmits the specified print file to the image forming apparatus 60 as the response.
Next, when the printing of the print file is completed, the image forming apparatus 60 requests the file registration unit 22 for a feedback ID (step S218). Specifically, the CPU 61 of the image forming apparatus 60 requests the feedback ID by transmitting, to the file registration unit 22, information indicating a request for the feedback ID associated with the printed print file.
When receiving the information indicating the request for the feedback ID, the file registration unit 22 executes a process of generating the feedback ID and registers the feedback ID in the database 22D (step S220). The file registration unit 22 transmits the generated feedback ID to the image forming apparatus 60 as the response (step S222). Specifically, upon receipt of the request for the feedback ID, the CPU 221 of the file registration unit 22 generates the feedback ID (
Character string information indicating an alphanumeric character string having a predetermined number of digits (for example, 14 digits or 16 digits) or a character string including symbols may be applied to the feedback ID. In the generation of the feedback ID, character string information indicating a character string including, for example, a combination of random characters may be generated so as to be a unique feedback to each printed print file. The feedback ID is not limited to the character string information, but may be code information (for example, one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcode) corresponding to the character string information.
When the valid flag is set to “NO” according to the registering user, the feedback is prohibited (that is, the feedback ID is invalidated). On the other hand, when the valid flag is set to “YES”, the feedback is permitted. As will be described in detail later, the valid flag set to “YES” is changed from “YES” to “NO” when feedback is made a predetermined number of times (for example, once).
As illustrated in
By the information processing described above, the using user can acquire the material which has been based on the print file, and can also acquire the feedback ID to the feedback posting unit 24 that enables to make the feedback on the print file. When acquiring the feedback ID, the using user accesses the feedback posting unit 24 in order to enable to make feedback on the printed print file (step S226).
The feedback ID is provided after printing the print file, so that the printing of the print file and the giving of the feedback on the print file can be executed asynchronously with a time difference. In this way, for example, it is possible to prevent the using user from hogging the image forming apparatus 60, and it is possible to reduce a time taken to use the image forming apparatus 60.
The feedback posting unit 24 transmits information indicating a feedback posting request as a response to the access from the using-side terminal 50 (step S228). The information indicating the feedback posting request includes information that prompts inputting of the feedback information including impressions, opinions, or the like of the user in a format that allows to post the feedback information so as to correspond to the print file. For example, the CPU 241 of the feedback posting unit 24 returns, to the using-side terminal 50, post information in a format (input format) that allows to post the feedback information in which the feedback ID is associated with post contents including the feedback such as the impressions or the opinions of the user.
The using user inputs the feedback in accordance with the post information from the feedback posting unit 24, thereby responding to the feedback posting request (step S230). Specifically, the CPU 51 of the using-side terminal 50 performs a process of inputting the information including the feedback with respect to the post information received from the feedback posting unit 24 and transmits to the feedback posting unit 24, as a response, the post information to which the feedback by the using user is input.
When receiving the response to the post information from the using-side terminal 50, the feedback posting unit 24 posts the feedback information to the SNS 40 (step S232). Specifically, the CPU 241 of the feedback posting unit 24 posts the feedback information to the SNS 40 by transmitting, to the SNS 40, the feedback information in which the feedback ID is associated with the post content including the feedback such as the impressions or the opinions of the user.
The SNS 40 receives the post from the feedback posting unit 24 and performs control of allowing users to browse the post.
Therefore, the information processing apparatus 20 transmits, to the SNS 40, the feedback information including the feedback from the using-side terminal 50 based on the feedback ID indicating that it is possible to make feedback.
When receiving the feedback information from the using-side terminal 50, the feedback posting unit 24 executes a process of limiting the use of the feedback ID (step S234). Specifically, when receiving the feedback information from the using-side terminal 50, the CPU 241 of the feedback posting unit 24 executes a predetermined process of invalidating the use of the feedback ID. The predetermined process of invalidating the use of the feedback ID includes a process of setting the number of available uses of the feedback ID. For example, when the number of available uses is set to “0”, it is possible to prevent the same using user from making a post plural times. When the number of available uses is set to “1” or more, it is possible to allow the same using user to make a post plural times (that is, by the set number of available uses), and prevent the same using user from making a post more than the number of times represented by the set number of available uses.
Accordingly, the information processing apparatus 20 can limit the post of the feedback information including the feedback from the using-side terminal 50 based on the feedback ID indicating that it is possible to post, by the process of limiting the use of the feedback ID to the predetermined number of times of post.
By the information processing described above, the registering user enters a state in which he/she is permitted to browse the feedback on the print file. Specifically, the registering user uses the registering-side terminal 30 to request the SNS 40 to browse the feedback posted via the feedback posting unit 24 (step S236). The SNS 40 transmits, to the registering-side terminal 30, the feedback posted as the response to the request from the registering-side terminal 30 (step S238).
As described above, according to the present exemplary embodiment, the printing of the print file and the feedback on the print file can be performed using the file specifying key generated in registration and the feedback ID generated in printing which is different from the file specifying key. In this way, when the print file is printed, making feedback is enabled using the feedback ID generated in the printing, so that it is possible to prevent feedback when printing is not performed.
In the exemplary embodiment described above, the case where one registering-side terminal 30 and one using-side terminal 50 are provided has been described. The technique of the present disclosure is not limited to this case. The number of at least one of the registering-side terminal 30 or the using-side terminal 50 may be two or more. The information processing system including one image forming apparatus 60 has been described. The technique of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Two or more image forming apparatuses 60 may be provided in the information processing system. The case where the information processing apparatus 20 includes the file registration unit 22 and the feedback posting unit 24 has been described. Alternatively, the information processing apparatus 20 may be implemented by a single apparatus.
In the exemplary embodiment described above, the case where the file is the print file has been described. The technique of the present disclosure is not limited to this case. The file may be a content file such as a sound file and a video file that can be listened or viewed by the using user.
In the exemplary embodiment described above, the case where the information related to the use of the print file is a post that records the feedback on the print file has been described. The technique of the present disclosure is not limited to this case. For example, the information related to the use of the print file may include information indicating a reaction of the using user. For example, information that can quantitatively represent the reaction of the user may be applied to the information in which the feedback such as the post described above is written with a sentence or the like. An example of the information that can quantitatively represent the reaction of the user is a rating which indicates the reaction of the using user and which is given to the print file by the using user.
Specifically, the rating indicating the reaction of the using user may be an evaluation physical quantity for quantitatively representing the reaction of the using user to the print file. As an example of the evaluation physical quantity, a value of an instruction index such as “like” indicating a favorable reaction of a user may be applied. By giving the value of the instruction index such as “like” to the print file, the registering user can quantitatively confirm the reaction of the user.
As another example of the evaluation physical quantity, a value of an action index such as “gift” or “donation” indicating that at least a part of possession information (for example, information corresponding to points or money that can be used on the network) possessed by the user is provided may be applied. By giving the value of the action index such as “gift” or “donation” to the print file, the registering user can also quantitatively confirm the reaction of the user. This action index may be designed such that a value of the action index increases as a magnitude of the reaction of the using user to the print file increases. In this way, the registering user can confirm the magnitude of the reaction of the using user to the print file as the feedback. The process of giving the instruction index, the action index, or the like may be performed in cooperation with an independent external system. When the process is performed in cooperation with the external system, the external system may execute a process of invalidating feedback on a print file which is not associated with a feedback ID.
A first modification will be described, in the exemplary embodiment described above, the example of the file registration unit 22 that generates the key (specifically, the file specifying key) as the first identification information for uniquely identifying the print file has been described. The technique of the present disclosure does not intend to limit a form of the information indicating the file specifying key. For example, the file specifying key may be represented by a two-dimensional code.
In the file registration unit 22A according to the first modification, a two-dimensional code generator 229 is connected to the I/O 225. The two-dimensional code generator 229 is a functional unit that generates the two-dimensional code based on plural pieces of information including other information in addition to the file specifying key described above.
In the first modification, the two-dimensional code generator 229 can replace the file specifying key with the two-dimensional code to embed the other information. Examples of the other information include print settings, a designation of an applied service of the SNS 40 on which a post is to be made, a designation of a feedback type, and a thumbnail URL. Embedding the other information removes a burden of inputting and searching in each process.
When the first modification enables to designate (embed) the information indicating the print settings as the other information, it is possible for the registering user to designate the print settings in advance, and it is possible to reduce a process load such as manual work when the using user is prompted to select the print settings in printing. It is also possible to designate print settings that the registering user wants to set.
When the first modification enables to designate an applied service of the SNS 40 as the other information, it is possible for the registering user to designate an application target SNS 40 on which a post is to be made in advance, and the feedback posting unit 24 can return the feedback to the designated SNS 40, An aspect of the post information (for example, the information indicating a feedback posting screen) in the format (input format) that enables to post the feedback information, which is the information indicating the feedback posting request described above can be provided using the information corresponding to the service of the designated SNS.
When the first modification enables the registering user to designate the feedback type as the other information, if the feedback type is designated in advance by the registering user, it is possible to designate a tendency of the feedback corresponding to a predetermined feedback that the registering user wants (for example, wants to get more “likes” on the SNS 40). Since the tendency of feedback that the registering user wants to get has been designated, the using user is also less likely to be confused about how to respond.
A second modification will be described. In the second modification, the feedback ID is replaced with a two-dimensional code.
In the feedback posting unit 24A according to the second modification, a two-dimensional code generator 249 is connected to the I/O 245. The two-dimensional code generator 249 is a functional unit that generates a two-dimensional code based on plural pieces of information including other information in addition to the feedback ID described above.
As an example of the other information, location information such as a URL for accessing the feedback posting unit 24 is applied. By embedding the location information such as the URL, it is possible to prevent the using user from performing work such as taking notes during printing.
The information processing apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment has been described above as the example. The exemplary embodiment may be embodied in the form of a program that causes a computer to execute the functions of the respective units provided in an information processing apparatus. The exemplary embodiment may be embodied in the form of a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores the program.
The configuration of the information processing apparatus described in the above exemplary embodiment is a mere example, and may be changed depending on a situation within the scope that does not depart from the gist of the present disclosure.
The flow of the processes of the program described in the above exemplary embodiment is also a mere example, and unnecessary steps may be deleted, a new step may be added, or an order of processes may be changed within the scope that does not deviate from the gist of the present disclosure.
In the above exemplary embodiment, the case where the processes according to the exemplary embodiment are implemented by a software configuration using the computer by executing the program has been described. It is noted that the present disclosure is not limited to this case. The exemplary embodiment may be implemented by, for example, a hardware configuration or a combination of a hardware configuration and a software configuration.
In the embodiments above, the term “processor” refers to hardware in a broad sense. Examples of the processor include general processors (e.g., CPU: Central Processing Unit) and dedicated processors (e.g., GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, and programmable logic device).
In the embodiments above, the term “processor” is broad enough to encompass one processor or plural processors in collaboration which are located physically apart from each other but may work cooperatively.
