Latest Patents
One of Aoyama's latest patents is a system for task tracking and controlling electronic mail. This innovative office information system connects multiple workstations via a network, allowing for the mutual exchange of electronic mails. The system includes a control information definition unit that defines what kind of processing can be performed on received mails. Additionally, it features a processing log memory unit that stores log information of operations performed on received mails. A control unit guides the receiver by referring to both control information and log information. Furthermore, a task tracking instruction unit inquires about the processing status of mail, while a task tracking unit reports the status in response to such inquiries. This system effectively stores and interprets control information related to the flow of office automation (OA) objects on the network, which traditionally relied on the memory of office workers. By guiding workers on tasks to be completed, the system reduces the chances of OA objects stagnating at specific locations, thereby enhancing the overall circulation of OA objects on the network.
