Abstract

A system recognizes an occurrence of offline action when a state in which a person-to-be-recorded does not perform a computer operation continues for or longer than a predetermined time. Then, action related information such as action schedule information about a person-to-be-recorded, movement position information indicating the position of a person-to-be-recorded, immobile target position information indicating the position of an immobile target such as a building, a point on a map, etc., position-action correspondence associating the immobile target position information with the content of offline action, etc. is acquired. According to the information, the content of the offline action is estimated. When a next computer operation is detected, the estimated content is displayed for confirmation by the person-to-be-recorded. The system accepts and records the input of supplement, amend, approve, etc. from the person-to-be-recorded.

Claims

1. A computer-readable storage medium which is used in an action record support computer for supporting a record of action, and stores an action record support program used to direct the computer to perform the steps, comprising:

an offline action occurrence recognizing step of recognizing, when online action does not occur for or longer than a predetermined time, an occurrence of offline action which is performed by a person-to-be-recorded whose action is to be recorded and is action other than the online action which is performed by the person-to-be-recorded and performed with a computer operation;

an action related information acquiring step of acquiring action related information associated with the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded;

an offline action estimating step of estimating a content of the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded according to the acquired action related information; and

an offline action content input step of accepting input data relating to the content of the estimated offline action.

2. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein

the action related information comprises action schedule information recorded in advance as associated with the person-to-be-recorded.

3. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein

the action related information comprises movement position information indicating a position of the person-to-be-recorded and transmitted from a position information transmission device to the action record support computer, and immobile target position information indicating a position of an immobile target and recorded in advance.

4. The storage medium according to claim 3, wherein

the position information transmission device is carried by the person-to-be-recorded.

5. The storage medium according to claim 3, wherein

the movement position information is generated by the position information transmission device reading information about the person-to-be-recorded stored in a person-to-be-recorded identification device carried by the person-to-be-recorded.

6. The storage medium according to claim 3, wherein

the action related information further comprises action estimation correspondence recorded in advance and associating the immobile target position information with a content of offline action.

7. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein

the action record support program further directs the action record support computer to perform an online action recording step of recording a content of the online action when an occurrence of the online action is detected.

8. The storage medium according to claim 7, wherein

the action record support program further directs the action record support computer to perform an offline action recording step of recording the data accepted in the offline action content input step in a recording form compatible with a recording form of the content of the online action.

9. The storage medium according to claim 1, wherein

an occurrence of the offline action is recognized in the offline action occurrence recognizing step by accepting a notification transmitted by monitoring an occurrence of the online action of the person-to-be-recorded.

10. An action record support device for supporting a record of action, comprising:

an offline action occurrence recognition unit recognizing, when online action does not occur for or longer than a predetermined time, an occurrence of offline action which is performed by a person-to-be-recorded whose action is to be recorded and is action other than online action which is performed by the person-to-be-recorded and performed with a computer operation;

an action related information acquisition unit acquiring action related information associated with the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded;

an offline action estimation unit estimating a content of the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded according to the acquired action related information; and

an offline action content input unit accepting input data relating to the content of the estimated offline action.

11. A method used by an action record support computer for supporting a record of action, comprising:

recognizing, when online action does not occur for or longer than a predetermined time, an occurrence of offline action which is performed by a person-to-be-recorded whose action is to be recorded and is action other than online action which is performed by the person-to-be-recorded and performed with a computer operation;

acquiring action related information associated with the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded;

estimating a content of the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded according to the acquired action related information; and

accepting input data relating to the content of the estimated offline action.

12. An action record support system for supporting a record of action comprising an action record support computer and one or more client computers, wherein:

the client computer monitors an occurrence of online action which is action with an operation of the client computer performed by a person-to-be-recorded whose action is to be recorded;

when the online action does not occur for or longer than a predetermined time, the client computer notifies the action record support computer of an occurrence of the offline action;

at the notification, the action record support computer recognizes the occurrence of the offline action;

the action record support computer acquires action related information relating to the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded;

according to the acquired action related information, the action record support computer estimates a content of the offline action of the person-to-be-recorded;

the action record support computer transmits the content of the estimated offline action to the client computer;

the client computer displays the received content of the offline action on a display device; and

the action record support computer accepts input data relating to the displayed content of the offline action through the client computer.
