Abstract

An information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an information processing method. The information processing apparatus identifies a work target and work content of work, based on voice data sent from a terminal for inputting utterance about the work by a worker, updates work implementation status information indicating work implementation status of the work stored in a memory based on the work target and work content of the work that are identified, and controls to display the work implementation status of the work based on the work implementation status information on a display terminal connected through a network.

Claims (54)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

circuitry configured to:

register a schedule of work;

identify a work target and work content of the work, based on voice data sent from a terminal for inputting utterance about the work by a worker;

update work implementation status information indicating work implementation status of the work stored in a memory based on the work target and work content of the work that are identified and the schedule corresponding to the work target;

measure an elapsed time of the work target and work content of the work that are identified; and

control to display the work implementation status of the work based on the work implementation status information on a display terminal connected through a network, wherein

in a case where the elapsed time of the work target and work content of the work that are identified exceeds a threshold allowable time, the circuitry transmits an alert indicating that the work target and work content of the work that are identified remains incomplete is transmitted to the terminal.

2. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to

update, of work implementation status information corresponding to a plurality of work targets, the work implementation status information corresponding to the work target of the work that is identified.

3. The information processing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the work implementation status information is information indicating whether the work has been performed for each of the plurality of work targets, and the circuitry is further configured to

control to display on the display terminal whether the work has been performed for each of the plurality of work targets based on the work implementation status information.

4. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is configured to

identify the work target and work content of the work based on analysis result of the voice data and definition info nation that defines correspondence between the work target, the work content, and the analysis result.

5. The information processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

convert the voice data into text data including a plurality of keywords;

identify a keyword for each of the work target and work content of the work, based on the plurality of keywords and definition information that defines correspondence between each of the work target and work content and each of the plurality of keywords; and

update the work implementation status information based on the keyword corresponding to the work target and work content of the work that are identified.

6. The information processing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

transmit the text data converted from the voice data as analysis result of the voice data to the terminal;

identify the work target and work content of the work based on the analysis result of the voice data transmitted from each of a plurality of terminals respectively used by a plurality of workers, each terminal for inputting utterances about work by each of the plurality of workers; and

transmit the text data to each terminal used by each worker.

7. The information processing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

store the text data and the voice data in association in the memory;

transmit the text data and identification information of storage destination of the voice data to each terminal used by each worker; and

in response to a request for acquisition of the voice data based on the identification information from a particular terminal of the terminals, transmit to the particular terminal the voice data related to the identification information.

8. The information processing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:

register a schedule corresponding to each of a plurality of work targets; and

update the work implementation status information based on the work target and work content of the work that are identified and the schedule corresponding to the identified work target among the registered schedules.

9. An information processing system comprising:

a terminal for inputting utterance about work by a worker;

an information processing apparatus; and

a display terminal, wherein the information processing apparatus includes circuitry configured to:

register a schedule of the work;

identify a work target and work content of the work, based on voice data sent from the terminal;

update work implementation status information indicating work implementation status of the work stored in a memory based on the work target and work content of the work that are identified and the schedule corresponding to the work target;

measure an elapsed time of the work target and work content of the work that are identified; and

control to display the work implementation status of the work based on the work implementation status information on the display terminal connected through a network, wherein

in a case where the elapsed time of the work target and work content of the work that are identified exceeds a threshold allowable time, the circuitry transmits an alert indicating that the work target and work content of the work that are identified remains incomplete is transmitted to the terminal.

10. The information processing system of claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to

update, of work implementation status information corresponding to a plurality of work targets, the work implementation status information corresponding to the work target of the work that is identified.

11. The information processing system of claim 9 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to

identify the work target and work content of the work based on analysis result of the voice data and definition information that defines correspondence between the work target, the work content, and the analysis result.

12. An information processing method comprising:

registering a schedule of work;

identifying a work target and work content of the work, based on voice data sent from a terminal for inputting utterance about the work by a worker;

updating work implementation status information indicating work implementation status of the work stored in a memory based on the work target and work content of the work that are identified and the schedule corresponding to the work target;

measuring an elapsed time of the work target and work content of the work that are identified; and

controlling to display the work implementation status of the work based on the work implementation status information on a display terminal connected through a network, wherein

in a case where the elapsed time of the work target and work content of the work that are identified exceeds a threshold allowable time, the circuitry transmits an alert indicating that the work target and work content of the work that are identified remains incomplete is transmitted to the terminal.

13. The information processing method of claim 12 , further comprising

updating, of work implementation status information corresponding to a plurality of work targets, the work implementation status information corresponding to the work target of the work that is identified.

14. The information processing method of claim 12 , further comprising

identifying the work target and work content of the work based on analysis result of the voice data and definition information that defines correspondence between the work target, the work content, and the analysis result.
