[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a program, an information processing device, and a method. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Systems that perform accounting processes to manage deposits and withdrawals relating to the business of users who are corporations or sole proprietors are known.

[0003] Patent document 1 discloses a technology for a system that extracts summary strings that serve as keywords from summary information included in transaction details, and extracts candidate account items corresponding to the transaction details by referring to summary dictionary data. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2015-014854 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Incidentally, in journal entries relating to deposits and withdrawals in such business, it is common to enter account items, but it is difficult to later refer to the type of transaction that the journal entry was for using accounting data in normal accounting processing. In the invention described in Patent Document 1, candidates for account items corresponding to the transaction content are extracted by referring to abstract dictionary data, but data indicating the transaction content is not added to the journal entry. Therefore, if a user is configured to add data indicating the transaction content to the journal entry, there is a problem in that the consistency of the labeling cannot be guaranteed.

[0006] Therefore, in this disclosure, a technology is described that ensures consistency in the notation of additional information when additional information indicating transaction details, etc. is added to the account heading of a journal entry. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a program for executing on a computer having a processor and a memory, for performing accounting processing related to a user's business, the memory storing additional information to be added to the account items of the journal entry related to deposits and withdrawals in the business, and the program causes the processor to perform the following steps: accepting new additional information from the user to be added to the account items of the journal entry related to deposits and withdrawals in the business; judging whether the accepted additional information is identical to stored additional information, whether there is stored additional information similar to the stored additional information, or whether there is neither identical nor similar additional information in the stored additional information; if the judgment result is that there is stored additional information identical to the stored additional information, adding the same additional information to the account items of the journal entry; and if the judgment result is If there is additional information similar to the stored additional information, the similar stored additional information is extracted and presented to the user, and an input is received from the user to select whether to assign the stored additional information to the account item of the journal entry or to assign the received additional information to the account item of the journal entry; and if the determination result is that there is no identical or similar stored additional information, the received additional information is assigned to the account item of the journal entry.In the step of determining whether there is additional information similar to the stored additional information, if the degree of match indicating the degree of match between the received additional information and the stored additional information is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that there is additional information similar to the stored additional information. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, it is determined whether the additional information received from the user exists in the stored additional information or whether there is similar information, and the additional information received from the user is assigned to the account item based on the determination result. This makes it possible to ensure consistency in the notation of the additional information when assigning additional information indicating the transaction content, etc. to the account item of a journal entry.

[Diagram 5] 1 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of tagging processing performed by the transaction processing system 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The following description and drawings are examples for explaining the present invention, and are omitted and simplified as appropriate for clarity of explanation. The present invention can be implemented in various other forms. Unless otherwise specified, each component may be singular or plural. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

[0011] <Summary> The accounting processing system according to the present disclosure will be described below. The accounting processing system according to the present disclosure is a system for performing accounting related to the business of a corporation or a sole proprietor, which is a user. The accounting processing system according to the present disclosure is a system provided by a so-called SaaS (Software as a Service) as a Web service, for example, by a cloud server or the like.

[0012] The accounting processing system according to the present disclosure is configured to add tags as additional information to the account items of journal entries related to deposits and withdrawals in the user's business when performing accounting, so that information such as the type of transaction the journal entry was can be referenced later. These tags are input by the user as text data.

[0013] However, if such tags are input as text data by users, the contents written by each user will differ, and even tags with similar meanings will be written differently, which creates a problem that the consistency of tag notation cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, there is a method in which tags are fixed to a certain extent and users can select from the fixed tags. However, in this case, there is a problem that the tag that the user wants to select may not be included in the fixed tags, making it difficult for users to use.

[0014] Therefore, the accounting processing system according to the present disclosure determines whether the tag (additional information) received from the user is identical to the stored tag, whether a similar tag exists, or whether neither the same nor similar tag exists, and assigns the tag received from the user or the already stored tag to the account item of the journal entry based on the determination result. At this time, if the degree of match between the received tag and the stored tag, which indicates the degree of match, is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that a tag similar to the stored tag exists.

[0015] With the above configuration, it is possible to avoid variations in tag notation by determining whether the same tag as the tag received from the user has already been registered or whether a similar tag has been registered. In addition, since the determination is made based on the degree of match, it is possible to make a more precise determination.

[0016] <Embodiment 1> The following is a description of the transaction processing system 1. In the following description, for example, when the terminal device 10 accesses the server 20, the server 20 responds with information for generating a screen on the terminal device 10.

The storage 26 is a storage device for saving data, such as a flash memory or a HDD (Hard Disc Drive). The processor 29 is hardware for executing an instruction set described in a program, and is composed of an arithmetic unit, a register, a peripheral circuit, etc.

[0024] <1.1 Configuration of the terminal device 10> FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the terminal device 10 of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal device 10 includes a plurality of antennas (antenna 111, antenna 112), wireless communication units (first wireless communication unit 121, second wireless communication unit 122) corresponding to the respective antennas, an operation reception unit 130 (including a keyboard 131 and a mouse 132), a voice processing unit 140, a microphone 141, a speaker 142, a display 150, a camera 160, a storage unit 170, and a control unit 180. The terminal device 10 also has functions and configurations (e.g., a battery for holding power, a power supply circuit for controlling the supply of power from the battery to each circuit, etc.) that are not particularly shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, each block included in the terminal device 10 is electrically connected by a bus or the like. The terminal device 10 shown in FIG. 2 will be described as a mobile terminal such as a tablet or a smartphone compatible with a mobile communication system, but may be a stationary PC (Personal Computer) or a laptop PC.

[0025] The antenna 111 emits a signal generated by the terminal device 10 as a radio wave. The antenna 111 also receives a radio wave from space and provides the received signal to the first wireless communication unit 121.

[0026] The antenna 112 radiates a signal generated by the terminal device 10 as a radio wave. The antenna 112 also receives the radio wave from space and provides the received signal to the second radio communication unit 122.

[0027] The first wireless communication unit 121 performs modulation / demodulation processing and the like for transmitting and receiving signals via the antenna 111 so that the terminal device 10 can communicate with other wireless devices. The second wireless communication unit 122 performs modulation / demodulation processing and the like for transmitting and receiving signals via the antenna 112 so that the terminal device 10 can communicate with other wireless devices. The first wireless communication unit 121 and the second wireless communication unit 122 are communication modules including a tuner, a Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) calculation circuit, a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) calculation circuit, a high-frequency circuit, and the like. The first wireless communication unit 121 and the second wireless communication unit 122 perform modulation / demodulation and frequency conversion of wireless signals transmitted and received by the terminal device 10, and provide the received signals to the control unit 180.

[0028] The operation reception unit 130 has a mechanism for receiving an input operation from a user in response to the control of the control unit 180. Specifically, the operation reception unit 130 includes a keyboard 131 and a mouse 132. Note that the operation reception unit 130 may be configured as a touch screen that detects the position of the user's contact with the touch panel, for example, by using a capacitive touch panel.

[0029] The keyboard 131 accepts input operations by the user of the terminal device 10. The keyboard 131 is a device for inputting characters, and outputs input character information to the control unit 180 as an input signal.

[0030] The mouse 132 accepts input operations by the user of the terminal device 10. The mouse 132 is a pointing device for selecting an object displayed on the display 150, and outputs position information of an object selected on the screen and information indicating that a button has been pressed to the control unit 180 as input signals.

[0031] The audio processing unit 140 modulates and demodulates an audio signal under the control of the control unit 180. The audio processing unit 140 modulates a signal provided from the microphone 141 and provides the modulated signal to the control unit 180. The audio processing unit 140 also provides the audio signal to the speaker 142. The audio processing unit 140 is realized by, for example, a processor for audio processing. The microphone 141 accepts audio input and provides an audio signal corresponding to the audio input to the audio processing unit 140. The speaker 142 converts the audio signal provided from the audio processing unit 140 into audio and outputs the audio to the outside of the terminal device 10.

[0032] Display 150 displays data such as images, videos, and text under the control of control unit 180. Display 150 is realized by, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display.

[0033] Camera 160 is a device that receives light with a light receiving element and outputs the received light as a captured image in accordance with the control of control unit 180. Camera 160 may be configured, for example, with an imaging device such as a digital camera or a video camera.

[0034] Storage unit 170 is configured with memory 15, such as a flash memory, and storage unit 16, and stores data and programs used by terminal device 10. In one aspect, storage unit 170 stores user information 171.

[0035] The user information 171 is information about a user who performs accounting, which is a function of the accounting processing system 1, using the terminal device 10, and inputs and assigns tags as additional information to the account items of journal entries in business. The user information includes information that identifies the user (user ID), the name or title of the business operator or person in charge, and other information.

[0036] The control unit 180 is constituted by, for example, the processor 19, and controls the operation of the terminal device 10 by reading a program stored in the storage unit 170 and executing instructions included in the program. The control unit 180 fulfills the functions of an input operation receiving unit 181, a transmission / reception unit 182, a notification control unit 183, and a data processing unit 184 by operating in accordance with a program (not shown) that is an application that is stored in advance in the storage unit 170 of the terminal device 10 and installed, for example.

[0037] The input operation receiving unit 181 performs processing for receiving input operations by a user via an input device such as the keyboard 131 .

[0038] The transmission / reception unit 182 performs processing for the terminal device 10 to transmit and receive data to and from an external device such as the server 20 in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0039] The notification control unit 183 performs a process of presenting information to the user. The notification control unit 183 performs a process of causing the display 150 to display a display image, a process of causing the speaker 142 to output a sound, and the like.

[0040] The data processing unit 184 performs calculations on the data that the terminal device 10 accepts as input in accordance with a program, and outputs the calculation results to a memory or the like.

[0041] <1.2 Functional configuration of server 20> Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the server 20 in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 3, the server 20 fulfills the functions of a communication unit 201, a storage unit 202, and a control unit 203.

[0042] The communication unit 201 performs processing for the server 20 to communicate with external devices.

[0043] The storage unit 202 is composed of, for example, a memory 25 and a storage 26, and stores data and programs used by the server 20. The storage unit 202 stores an accounting database 2021 and the like.

[0044] The accounting database 2021 is a database for holding accounting information related to business operations, specifically, journal entry information related to companies and sole proprietors, etc., which are managed by the accounting processing system 1, and tags as additional information attached to the account items of the journal entries. Details will be described later.

[0045] The control unit 203 performs functions as various modules, such as a reception control module 2031, a transmission control module 2032, a tag reception module 2033, a tag similarity determination module 2034, and a tag assignment module 2035, by the processor 29 of the server 20 performing processing according to a program.

[0046] The reception control module 2031 controls the process in which the server 20 receives a signal from an external device in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0047] The transmission control module 2032 controls the process in which the server 20 transmits signals to external devices in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0048] The tag reception module 2033 controls the process of receiving new additional information (tags) to be assigned to the account items of journal entries related to deposits and withdrawals in business from users who are employees of business enterprises or individual business owners, etc. Tags that the tag reception module 2033 receives include, for example, the following: Information about the business partners of the transactions to which the journal entry is to be applied (company names, etc.) Information regarding the transaction items related to the assigned journal entry Information about the transaction department to which the journal entry is to be applied (department name, etc.) Information regarding the segments to which the accounting entries are applied -Memo information regarding the journal entry to be assigned In addition, the tag receiving module 2033 may receive any other information to be added to the journal entry.

[0049] At this time, the tag receiving module 2033 may receive attribute information indicating the attribute of the new additional information (tag). The attribute information received by the tag receiving module 2033 corresponds to the above tag and includes, for example, the following: Attribute "Customer" Attribute "Item" ·Attribute “Department” Attribute "Segment" Attribute "Memo" In addition, the tag reception module 2033 may receive any other attribute information.

[0050] For example, the terminal device 10 receives input of a new tag to be assigned to an account item from the user through processing by the input operation receiving unit 181. When the user inputs a new tag to be assigned to the account item, the terminal device 10 transmits information of the new tag to be assigned to the account item input by the user via the transmitting / receiving unit 182. The tag receiving module 2033 receives and accepts information of the new tag to be assigned to the account item input by the user via the communication unit 201.

[0051] Furthermore, the tag receiving module 2033 may extract similar stored additional information and present it to the user while the user is inputting new additional information from the terminal device 10. Specifically, the tag receiving module 2033 may be provided with a so-called input prediction function.

[0052] The tag similarity determination module 2034 controls the process of determining whether the tag received by the tag reception module 2033 is identical to a tag stored in the accounting database 2021, whether a tag similar to the stored tag exists, or whether there is neither an identical nor similar tag among the stored tags. At this time, the tag similarity determination module 2034 may make a determination based on the attribute information received by the tag reception module 2033, and may, for example, make a determination about tags with matching attribute information, or may make a determination about tags with a specific number of attributes.

[0053] Next, if the received tag contains an identical tag, the tag similarity determination module 2034 controls a process of determining the identical tag as the tag to be assigned to the account item of the journal entry. When determining whether an identical tag exists or not, the tag similarity determination module 2034 determines whether the text data of the tag is a perfect match, for example.

[0054] If there is a tag similar to the received tag, the tag similarity determination module 2034 extracts the stored tag and presents it to the user, and controls a process of receiving an input from the user to select whether to assign the stored tag to the accounting item of the journal entry or to assign the received tag to the accounting item of the journal entry. At this time, the tag similarity determination module 2034 transmits information of the tag extracted as similar to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201. The terminal device 10 receives information of the tag extracted as similar via the transmission / reception unit 182, and displays information of the tag extracted as similar by the process by the notification control unit 183 on the display 150 to present it to the user. At this time, there may be more than one tag extracted as similar.

[0055] At this time, the information of tags extracted as similar may be presented to the user in a predetermined order of priority. This priority may be determined, for example, according to the number of times the account item of the journal entry is input. This priority may also be stored in the storage unit 202 in advance.

[0056] Then, the terminal device 10 receives an input from the user to select whether to assign the stored tag to the accounting item of the journal entry or to assign the accepted tag to the accounting item of the journal entry, through processing by the input operation acceptance unit 181. When the user performs an operation to select, the terminal device 10 transmits the information selected by the user via the transmission / reception unit 182. The tag similarity determination module 2034 receives and accepts the information on the tag selected by the user via the communication unit 201, and determines it as the tag to be assigned to the accounting item of the journal entry.

[0057] At this time, when the tag similarity determination module 2034 determines whether or not there is something similar to the received tag, it determines that there is something similar if, for example, the degree of match between the received tag and the stored tag is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value.

[0058] Furthermore, the tag similarity determination module 2034 controls the process of determining the received tag as the tag to be assigned to the account item of the journal entry when there is no tag that is identical or similar to the received tag.

[0059] The tag assignment module 2035 controls the process of assigning a tag based on the determination result of the tag similarity determination module 2034 to the account item of the journal entry.

[0060] The tagging module 2035 stores and records the tag information in the accounting database 2021.

[0061] <2 Data Structure> The data structure referenced by the accounting processing system 1 will be described below with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the data structure of the accounting database 2021 in Fig. 3.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 4, each record of the accounting database 2021 includes an item "user ID", an item "user name", an item "journal entry data detail information", and the like.

[0063] The item “User ID” is information that identifies each user who registers deposit and withdrawal information managed by the accounting processing system 1.

[0064] The item "user name" is information that indicates the name of the company or other user that is registering the deposit and withdrawal information managed by the accounting processing system 1, and stores, for example, the corporate name.

[0065] The item "journal data detail information" is journal data that records deposits and withdrawals such as purchases and sales managed by the accounting processing system 1, and specifically includes the items "date", "debit / credit", "summary", "amount", and "tag". This item "journal data detail information" is information that is registered as accounting information by journalizing based on information registered by a user who is a business operator regarding daily deposits and withdrawals, and is configured so that the latest information is added as a record in chronological order of the item "date", for example.

[0066] The item “Date” is information on the date on which a deposit or withdrawal managed by the accounting processing system 1 occurred.

[0067] The item "Debit / Credit" is information that indicates whether the journal entry data is a debit or credit. For example, if it is a debit, "debit" information is stored, and if it is a credit, "credit" information is stored. Debit and credit are items to be recorded in double-entry bookkeeping, which is currently commonly used for recording in ledgers.

[0068] The item "Summary" is information that indicates the account heading of the journal entry data. Account heading is information that indicates the content of the expense item used in entering daily transactions, and for example, as shown in Figure 4, the contents of "Purchases," "Accounts Payable," "Suspended Consumption Tax," etc. are stored.

[0069] The item "Amount" is information indicating the amount of the journal entry data that has been journalized. The item "Amount" stores amounts such as "Purchases," "Accounts Payable," and "Suspended Consumption Tax," which are examples of account items indicated by the item "Description."

[0070] The item “tag” is information indicating a tag assigned to the account item of the journal entry. In the item “tag”, for example, attribute information and tag information accepted by the tag acceptance module 2033 and assigned by the tag assignment module 2035 are stored.

[0071] The tag assignment module 2035 of the server 20 assigns the tag to the item “tag” in the accounting database 2021 in accordance with the determination of the tag to be assigned to the account item of the journal entry.

[0072] <3 operations> The tagging process performed by the transaction processing system 1 in the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

[0073] FIG. 5 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of tagging processing performed by the transaction processing system 1.

[0074] In step S111, the input operation reception unit 181 of the terminal device 10 receives an operation to input new additional information (tag) to be assigned to an account item of a journal entry related to a deposit / withdrawal in a business from a user who is an employee of a business enterprise or a sole proprietor, etc., and attribute information indicating the attribute of the tag. The transmission / reception unit 182 transmits the received new tag information, tag attribute information, and user information 171 to the server 20.

[0075] In step S121, the tag reception module 2033 of the server 20 receives, via the communication unit 201, the new tag information, tag attribute information, and user information 171 transmitted in step S111.

[0076] In step S122, the tag similarity determination module 2034 of the server 20 determines whether the tag received in step S121 is identical to a tag stored in the accounting database 2021, whether a tag similar to the stored tag exists, or whether a tag identical or similar exists among the stored tags. Also, in step S122, it is determined whether to assign the stored tag to the account item of the journal entry, or to assign the received tag to the account item of the journal entry.

[0077] In step S123, the tagging module 2035 of the server 20 assigns a tag based on the determination result of step S122 to the account item of the journal entry. Also in step S123, the tagging module 2035 of the server 20 stores and memorizes information of the assigned tag in the accounting database 2021.

[0078] As described above, the accounting system 1 accepts new additional information (tags) to be assigned to the account items of the journal entry related to deposits and withdrawals in the business from the user, and judges whether the accepted tag is the same as the stored tag, whether the stored tag is similar, or whether the stored tag is the same or similar. In this case, the accounting system 1 judges that a similar tag exists if the degree of match between the accepted tag and the stored tag is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold. Then, a tag based on the judgment result is assigned to the account item of the journal entry. Therefore, by judging whether the same tag as the tag accepted from the user has already been registered, or whether a similar tag has been registered, it is possible to avoid variations in the notation of tags. This makes it possible to ensure the consistency of the notation of the additional information when additional information indicating the transaction content, etc. is assigned to the account item of the journal entry.

[0079] <Summary> As described above, according to this embodiment, new additional information (tag) to be added to the account item of the journal entry related to the deposit and withdrawal in the business is received from the user, and it is determined whether the received tag is the same as the stored tag, whether the stored tag is similar, or whether the stored tag is the same or similar. At this time, if the degree of match between the received tag and the stored tag, which indicates the degree of match, is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, it is determined that a similar tag exists. Then, a tag based on the determination result is added to the account item of the journal entry. Therefore, by determining whether the same tag as the tag received from the user has already been registered, or whether a similar tag has been registered, it is possible to avoid variations in the notation of the tag. This makes it possible to ensure the consistency of the notation of the additional information when adding additional information indicating the transaction content, etc. to the account item of the journal entry.

[0080] In addition, according to this embodiment, attribute information indicating the attributes of new additional information (tag) is received, and when judging whether the received tag has an identical or similar tag among the stored tags, the judgment is made based on the received attribute information. Therefore, by judging whether the same tag as the tag received from the user has already been registered, or whether a similar tag has been registered, it becomes possible to more precisely avoid variations in tag notation.
