Description

Technology Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to intelligent accounting processing technology. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, when a transaction occurs in corporate management activities, so-called bookkeeping must be performed to systematize and classify the transaction according to corporate accounting methods. These accounting methods can be broadly classified into two types: the account entry type, which processes accounting by recording debit and credit account titles, and the activity information entry type, which processes accounting by recording activity information regarding activities and resources.

[0004] Among these, the accounting processing method of the account entry type is difficult for those without specialized accounting knowledge or non-experts to perform, as accounting processing is only possible if the user accurately understands the matching principles of debits and credits and account titles.

[0005] Accordingly, Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-0836234 discloses an activity information accounting system that requires less accounting processing time by utilizing a combination of activities and resources.

[0006] However, regardless of whether there are difficulties in accounting treatment depending on these input types, recording errors occur in the accounting treatment methods of all input types, because even for the acquisition, use, and disposal of the same goods and services, the account titles or activity information to be recorded differ depending on the purpose.

[0007] In other words, in the conventional accounting method of entering account codes and the accounting method of entering activity information, the list of account codes or activity information is provided without considering the purpose of acquiring, using, and disposing of goods and services during the process of selecting account codes or activity information. Consequently, users directly select account codes or activity information according to the purpose of acquiring, using, and disposing of goods and services, which leads to the problem that account codes or activity information that should be recorded differently according to these purposes are still incorrectly recorded.

[0008] Meanwhile, activities are classified into independent activities, which occur independently without the occurrence of a preceding activity, and dependent activities, which occur on the premise of a preceding activity. In other words, dependent activities that arise from independent activities must be accurately recorded.

[0009] However, conventional accounting methods allow users to directly select the recording of dependent activities that occur as a result of independent activities, so there is a problem in that dependent activities that occur after a certain period of time are not recorded as dependent activities to independent activities.

An exemplary input / output device (24) may be included inside the computing device (12) as a component constituting the computing device (12), or it may be connected to the computing device (12) as a separate device distinct from the computing device (12).

[0040] FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram for explaining an intelligent accounting processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0041] As illustrated in FIG. 2, an intelligent accounting processing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may include a first activity list providing unit (110), a resource list providing unit (120), an activity purpose list providing unit (130), a second activity list providing unit (140), and an account subject providing unit (150).

[0042] Specifically, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) may include a first activity list providing unit (110) that provides first activity lists, a resource list providing unit (120) that provides resource lists, an activity purpose list providing unit (130) that provides activity purpose lists that match the selected first activity list when any one of the first activity lists is selected, a second activity list providing unit (140) that provides second activity lists based on the selected first activity list and the selected activity purpose list, and an account subject providing unit (150) that provides corresponding account subjects in an account subject table based on the selected second activity list and the selected resource list.

[0043] Here, "activity" refers to transactions performed by a for-profit or non-profit management organization, and can be classified, for example, into sales activities, purchasing activities, expense activities, receiving activities, repayment activities, acquisition activities, disposal activities, investment and financing activities, settlement activities, revenue activities, and expenditure activities. Furthermore, activities can be defined in various ways depending on the characteristics of the management organization.

[0044] Furthermore, for activities to take place within a management organization, the resources that enable those activities must correspond. For example, resources can be classified into cash, deposits, accounts receivable (accounts payable), and advances received (prepayments).

[0045] In this case, the first activity list can be classified into sales activities, purchasing activities, expense activities, receiving activities, repayment activities, acquisition activities, disposal activities, investment and financing activities, settlement activities, revenue activities, and expenditure activities. Additionally, each classified first activity list (major activity list) can be composed of dozens of second activity lists (minor activity lists), and overall, the activity list includes dozens to hundreds of second activity lists. That is, if hundreds of second activity lists are provided to the user, the user may not be able to accurately select a second activity list. Here, the first activity list is a major activity list classified according to pre-set criteria, and the second activity list may be a minor activity list classified according to the purpose of the first activity list.

[0046] Accordingly, in the present invention, when a user selects a first activity list, a list of activity objectives matching the first activity list is provided, thereby further filtering the second activity list that the user must select, and thus helping the user select the second activity list.

[0047] Here, the purpose of the activity can be determined in various ways depending on whether it is acquired, used, or retained. For example, it can be classified into purposes such as daily business use, investment, sales and general management, production and manufacturing, short-term retention, and long-term retention.

[0048] In other words, even within the same major activity list, the minor activity list varies depending on the purpose of the activity. For example, even for the same activity of purchasing goods (Activity 1), if the purpose is sale in the distribution business (activity objective), it must be recorded as a merchandise purchase activity (Activity 2); however, if the purpose is manufacturing in the manufacturing business (activity objective), it must be recorded as a raw material purchase activity (Activity 2). Furthermore, even for the same activity of acquiring a building (Activity 1), if the purpose is business use (activity objective), it must be recorded as a tangible asset acquisition activity (Activity 2); and if the purpose is sale in the real estate business (activity objective), it must be recorded as a merchandise purchase activity (Activity 2).

[0049] In this way, the user is assisted in selecting a second list of activities by the mutually matching list of activities and list of activity objectives, enabling the management organization to accurately record the activities performed.

[0051] The accounting processing method using an intelligent accounting processing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention is described as follows.

[0052] First, when the user selects one of the first activity lists displayed by the input / output device (24) and selects one of the resource lists, an activity purpose list corresponding to the selected first activity list is displayed. Then, when one of the displayed activity purpose lists is selected, a second activity list is displayed. Then, when one of the displayed second activity lists is selected, an account item is displayed. Subsequently, when an amount is entered into the account item, a report is generated.

[0054] The first activity list provided by the first activity list providing unit (110) consists of sales activities, purchasing activities, expense activities, receiving activities, repayment activities, acquisition activities, disposal activities, investment and financial activities, settlement activities, revenue activities, and expenditure activities; the resource list provided by the resource list providing unit (120) consists of cash, deposits, credit, and advance payments; and the activity purpose list provided by the activity purpose list providing unit (130) may consist of daily business use purposes, investment purposes, sales and general management business purposes, production manufacturing business purposes, short-term holding purposes, and long-term holding purposes. Here, the first activity list may be classified and organized into 11 activity lists, the resource list may be classified and organized into 4 resource lists, and the activity purpose list may be classified and organized into 6 activity purpose lists. At this time, the number of lists of activities, activity purposes, and resources may be arbitrarily adjusted to be more or fewer.

[0055] In addition, the second activity list can be classified according to the activity objectives of the first activity list. The second list of activities based on the first list of activities may, for example, consist of sub-lists of activities such as merchandise sales activities, product sales activities, export merchandise sales activities, and related company sales activities; purchasing activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as merchandise purchasing activities, raw material purchasing activities, and auxiliary material purchasing activities; expense activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as payroll activities, consumable expenses activities, electricity expenses activities, transportation expenses activities, and entertainment expenses activities; collecting activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as collecting accounts receivable for merchandise and collecting accounts receivable for products; paying activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as paying off accounts payable for merchandise, paying off accounts payable for raw materials, and paying off accrued consumable expenses; acquisition activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as acquiring buildings and acquiring vehicles; disposal activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as disposing of buildings and disposing of vehicles; and investment and financing activities may consist of sub-lists of activities such as issuing bonds, redeeming bonds, and increasing common stock capital. Settlement activities may consist of a list of sub-activities such as the activity of calculating unearned insurance premiums, the activity of calculating accrued interest, and the activity of calculating depreciation expenses; revenue activities may consist of a list of sub-activities such as the activity of levying resident tax, the activity of collecting resident tax, the activity of levying automobile tax, and the activity of collecting automobile tax; and expenditure activities may consist of a list of sub-activities such as the activity of paying salaries, the activity of inspecting vehicle maintenance expenses, and the activity of paying vehicle maintenance expenses. Meanwhile, the list of sub-activities described in the present invention is an example and is not limited thereto, and may be further subdivided and classified according to the purpose of the activity in the first activity list.

[0057] The first activity list providing unit (110) can provide the first activity lists that have been stored.

[0058] The resource list providing unit (120) can provide previously stored resource lists.

[0059] The activity purpose list providing unit (130) can extract and provide an activity purpose list that matches the selected first activity list from among the previously stored activity purpose lists when any one of the first activity lists is selected. At this time, the first activity list and the activity purpose list may be in a pre-matched state. Here, the activity purpose list matched with the first activity list may be an activity purpose for classifying the first activity list into a second activity list.

[0060] Additionally, when any one of the first activity lists is selected, the activity purpose list providing unit (140) can extract an activity purpose list that matches the selected first activity list from among the previously stored activity purpose lists, and use artificial intelligence (AI) technology to assign priorities to each activity purpose list based on management organization information and usage history information, thereby providing the activity purpose list in order of priority. At this time, the activity purpose list providing unit (140) can provide the activity purpose list so that it is displayed at the top in order of highest priority. Here, the management organization information may include the business type and clients of the management organization, and the usage history information may include activity records and the frequency of use of the activity list. That is, the activity purpose list providing unit (140) can provide an optimized activity purpose list based on previously recorded activity records and usage frequency according to the characteristics of the management organization.

[0061] The second activity list providing unit (140) may provide a second activity list corresponding to the second activity list in the second activity list table based on the selected first activity list and the selected activity purpose list. At this time, there may be one or more second activity lists provided. At this time, the second activity list table may be pre-set according to the combination of the first activity list and the activity purpose list.

[0062] The account provision unit (150) can provide a corresponding account from an account table based on the selected second activity list and the selected resource list. At this time, the account table can be pre-set according to the combination of activities and resources. For example, if the combination of activities and resources is product sales activity-cash, an account such as Cash (Debit) / Product Sales (Credit) can be set.

[0064] Meanwhile, an intelligent accounting processing device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a selection unit (160) that selects a first activity list, an activity purpose list, a second activity list, and a resource list by input from an input device; a display unit (170) that displays the first activity list, the activity purpose list, the second activity list, and the resource list selected by the selection unit through an output device and displays the provided account items; an amount input unit (180) that inputs an amount into the account items displayed by the display unit (170) by input from an input device; and a report generation unit (190) that generates a report using the amount input by the amount input unit (180). At this time, the report may be a financial status report and a management performance report.

[0065] Meanwhile, an intelligent accounting processing device according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a storage unit (not shown) that stores a first activity table including first activity lists, an activity purpose table including activity purpose lists, a second activity table including second activity lists, a resource table including resource lists, and an account table including account items corresponding to resources and activities.

[0066] Meanwhile, although the present invention has been described based on a method of accounting processing by recording activity information, it is not limited thereto and can also be applied to accounting processing methods of the account category input type. In this case, it may include an account list providing unit that provides account lists, and an account list purpose list providing unit that provides an account list purpose list that matches the selected account list when any one of the account lists is selected.

[0068] FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an intelligent accounting processing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method illustrated in FIG. 3 may be performed, for example, by the aforementioned intelligent accounting processing device. Although the method is described in the illustrated flowchart by dividing it into a plurality of steps, at least some of the steps may be performed in a different order, combined with other steps and performed together, omitted, divided into detailed steps, or performed with one or more steps not illustrated added.

[0069] In step 310, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) can provide first activity lists and resource lists. Specifically, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) can provide first activity lists and resource lists to the user through an input / output device based on a previously stored activity table and resource table.

[0070] In step 320, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) can provide lists of activity objectives that match a first list of activities selected by the user. Specifically, when any one of the first lists of activities is selected, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) can extract and provide a list of activity objectives that matches the selected first list of activities from among the previously stored lists of activity objectives.

[0071] In step 330, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) may provide corresponding account items in an account item table based on a selected first activity list, a selected activity purpose list, and a selected resource list. Specifically, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) may provide a second activity list based on the selected first activity list and the selected activity purpose list. Additionally, the intelligent accounting processing device (100) may provide corresponding account items in an account item table based on the selected second activity list and the selected resource list.

[0072] Accordingly, the intelligent accounting processing method according to one embodiment of the present invention provides activity purpose lists that match the first activity list when a user selects a first activity list, thereby further filtering the second activity list that the user must select, which helps the user select the second activity list, and enables accurate recording of activities performed by the management organization, thereby having the effect of accurate accounting processing and reducing accounting processing time.

[0074] FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram for explaining an intelligent accounting processing device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Since the components corresponding to the components of the embodiment of the present invention described with reference to FIG. 1 perform the same or similar functions as those described in the embodiment of the present invention, a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0075] As illustrated in FIG. 4, an intelligent accounting processing device (400) according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a first activity list providing unit (410), a resource list providing unit (420), an activity purpose list providing unit (430), a second activity list providing unit (440), a dependent activity list providing unit (450), an account subject providing unit (460), and an alarm setting unit (470).

[0076] Specifically, the intelligent accounting processing device (400) may include a first activity list providing unit (410) that provides first activity lists, a resource list providing unit (420) that provides resource lists, an activity purpose list providing unit (430) that provides activity purpose lists matching the selected first activity list when any one of the first activity lists is selected, a second activity list providing unit (440) that provides second activity lists based on the selected first activity list and the selected activity purpose list, a dependent activity list providing unit (450) that determines whether a dependent activity occurs for the selected second activity list and, if a dependent activity occurs, provides a dependent activity list for the second activity list, an account subject providing unit (460) that provides a corresponding account subject in an account subject table based on the selected second activity list and the selected resource list, and an alarm setting unit (470) that receives dependent activity information to set an alarm for the selected dependent activity list.

[0077] Here, independent activities refer to activities that occur independently without the occurrence of preceding activities, while dependent activities may refer to activities that occur on the premise of the occurrence of preceding activities. Additionally, the first activity list is a list of major activities classified according to pre-established criteria, and the second activity list may be a list of minor activities classified according to the purpose of the first activity list.

[0078] In other words, when entering activities for accounting purposes, the accounting treatment is complete only when the dependent activity is recorded for the independent activity that gives rise to the dependent activity after a certain period. For example, the activity of acquiring a building is an independent activity; following the building acquisition activity, a dependent activity (the activity of calculating depreciation expense) resulting from the independent activity (the building acquisition activity) occurs for a certain period, and this must be accurately recorded as the activity of calculating depreciation expense.

[0079] Accordingly, the present invention determines whether a selected second activity activity is an activity that generates a dependent activity based on a first activity list and an activity purpose list selected by the user, and simultaneously provides a list of dependent activities and receives dependent activity information. This allows the user to receive an alarm regarding a dependent activity that occurs after recording an independent activity, thereby enabling the complete recording of dependent activities associated with independent activities and providing the effect of ensuring the completeness of accounting processing.

[0081] The accounting processing method using the intelligent accounting processing device (400) according to another embodiment of the present invention is described as follows.

[0082] First, when the user selects one of the first activity lists displayed by the input / output device (24) and selects one of the resource lists, an activity purpose list corresponding to the selected activity list is displayed. Then, when one of the displayed activity purpose lists is selected, second activity lists are displayed. Then, when one of the displayed second activity lists is selected, an account category is displayed. Subsequently, when an amount is entered into the account category, a report is generated. At this time, if the selected second activity list is an activity that generates a dependent activity, a list of dependent activities corresponding to the second activity list is displayed. Subsequently, one of the displayed dependent activity lists can be selected, and dependent activity information for the corresponding dependent activity can be entered. Afterward, an alarm can be provided to the user to enter the dependent activity based on the entered dependent activity information. Here, the dependent activity information may include the date of occurrence, whether an alarm is set, a memo, etc.

[0083] For example, if the second activity selected by the user is the building acquisition activity, a dependent activity—the activity of calculating depreciation expense—will occur. In this case, the activity of calculating depreciation expense occurs every month following the building acquisition activity, and if the activity of calculating depreciation expense is not entered accurately, the accounting treatment will not be complete. That is, if the second activity selected by the user is the building acquisition activity, the corresponding activity for calculating depreciation expense is provided. If the user inputs the occurrence date and whether to set an alarm for the activity, an alarm regarding the activity can be provided to the user on that date. If no dependent activity occurs for the activity selected by the user, the list of dependent activities may not be provided.

[0085] The first activity list providing unit (410) can provide the first activity lists that have been stored.

[0086] The resource list providing unit (420) can provide previously stored resource lists.

[0087] The activity purpose list providing unit (430) can extract and provide an activity purpose list that matches the selected first activity list from among the previously stored activity purpose lists when any one of the first activity lists is selected. At this time, the first activity list and the activity purpose list may be in a pre-matched state. Here, the activity purpose list matched with the first activity list may be an activity purpose for classifying the first activity list into a second activity list.

[0088] Additionally, when any one of the first activity lists is selected, the activity purpose list providing unit (430) extracts an activity purpose list that matches the selected first activity list from among the previously stored activity purpose lists, and uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to assign priorities to each activity purpose list based on management organization information and usage history information, thereby providing the activity purpose list in order of priority. At this time, the activity purpose list providing unit (430) can provide the activity purpose list so that it is displayed at the top in order of highest priority. Here, the management organization information may include the business type and clients of the management organization, and the usage history information may include activity records and the frequency of use of the activity list. That is, an optimized activity purpose list can be provided according to the characteristics of the management organization and the previously recorded activity records and usage frequency.

[0089] The second activity list providing unit (440) may provide a second activity list corresponding to the second activity list in the second activity list table based on the selected first activity list and the selected activity purpose list. At this time, there may be one or more second activity lists provided.
