Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] In various Web services, various data related to the Web service is transmitted and received, and various Web services are provided by linking such various data. There are two types of means for acquiring such various data: a pull type, in which the server providing the Web service is accessed and the required information is sent by issuing an instruction to send the required information, and a push type, in which the server providing the Web service is made to send the required information at a predetermined timing.

[0003] Among these, Patent Document 1 discloses a system technology for acquiring sales information in a sales management system, which provides a sales report in response to a request from a POS terminal (pull type). Patent Document 1 also discloses that a system for providing sales reports in a push type may be used. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2014-134899 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] However, when information is acquired in a push-type manner, if a large amount of data is received, organizing and classifying the received data becomes a cumbersome task. Therefore, a technology that automatically stores information transmitted in a push-type manner in a specified storage location has been desired.

[0006] Therefore, in this disclosure, a technique will be described in which evidence data acquired in a push-type manner is stored in a predetermined storage location in a storage device, and information written in the evidence data is registered. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a program is provided for managing evidence data of a business operator by being executed by a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory stores business information used in the business operator's business. The program causes the processor to execute the steps of accepting evidence data transmitted from an external Web service, determining a storage location in a storage device that is managed based on a first predetermined rule and storing the accepted evidence data, reading the stored evidence data and extracting description information from the stored evidence data based on a second predetermined rule, and registering the extracted description information as business information and storing it in the memory. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the present disclosure, it becomes possible to store evidence data transmitted from an external Web service in a predetermined storage location in a storage, and to register information described in the evidence data. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

[0011] <Summary> The service providing system according to the present disclosure will be described below. The service providing system according to the present disclosure is a system for a corporation or individual business owner, which is a business owner, to periodically acquire information used in the business of the business owner from users who use various services used in the business, and provide the information to the business owner, which is a user. A corporation or individual business owner, which is a business owner, needs to perform appropriate accounting for deposits and withdrawals that occur as the business proceeds. In addition, when a transaction such as ordering, receiving, or purchasing goods or services is made between businesses or individual business owners, which are businesses, the process of quotation, ordering, receiving, delivery, billing, and payment is often performed, and transaction processing such as issuing documents is required for each of these processes. In addition, when a company employs an employee, it is necessary to perform personnel and labor processing such as salary payment and the associated withholding tax and social insurance payment.

[0012] The service providing system according to the present disclosure is a system for providing various services such as the above-mentioned accounting processing, transaction processing, and personnel and labor processing to users who are business operators. The service providing system according to the present disclosure is a system provided as a Web service by a cloud server or the like, that is, by so-called SaaS (Software as a Service).

[0013] Incidentally, in the accounting processing, which is an example of the above-mentioned various services, it is possible to provide the latest information by linking with external Web services such as financial institutions. For this reason, it is necessary to link information with external Web services. In the service providing system according to the present disclosure, information is acquired in a push-type manner as a means for achieving this. By acquiring information in a push-type manner, there is an advantage that the time lag can be reduced compared to the pull-type manner, but when the amount of data received in the push-type manner becomes large, organizing and classifying the received data becomes a cumbersome task.

[0014] Therefore, the service providing system according to the present disclosure stores the evidence data transmitted from the external Web service in a predetermined storage location in the storage based on a first predetermined rule. Also, the service providing system according to the present disclosure extracts the description information of the stored evidence data based on a second predetermined rule, and registers the description information of the evidence data.

[0015] The above-mentioned configuration enables efficient organization and classification of evidence data, and also enables efficient information registration work from evidence data.

[0041] <1.2 Functional configuration of server 20> 3 is a diagram showing a functional configuration of the server 20 constituting the service providing system 1 of the embodiment 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the server 20 exerts 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 a voucher data management database 2021, a voucher storage 2022, a rule database 2023, and the like.

[0044] The evidence data management database 2021 is a database for holding information on the storage destination of the evidence data to be pushed and which is managed by the service providing system 1. Details will be described later.

[0045] The evidence storage storage 2022 is an area provided in the storage 26 for holding the evidence data to be push-transmitted, which is managed by the service providing system 1. In the evidence storage storage 2022, folders are provided according to the type of evidence data, the service used, the storage time of the evidence data, etc. In addition, the evidence storage storage 2022 may be a storage area such as a file box provided on a cloud server.

[0046] The rule database 2023 is a database for holding a rule (first rule) that is predefined for determining where in the voucher storage storage 2022 the voucher data to be pushed and that is managed by the service providing system 1 is to be stored, and a rule (second rule) that is predefined for determining which written information of the voucher data is to be extracted and registered in the service providing system 1. The information of the rule held in the rule database 2023 may be determined based on a machine learning model generated from information on a storage location where the voucher data was previously stored. This machine learning model may be generated by machine learning performed as a function of the control unit 203, or a machine learning model generated as a result of machine learning performed by another device may be acquired. The machine learning performed to generate the machine learning model may be performed by supervised machine learning using predetermined teacher data, may be performed by unsupervised machine learning, or may be performed by deep learning. Furthermore, an aggregation process may be performed in which the evaluation result by the machine learning model is later compared with the result by the user's input, and the learning result by further machine learning is merged.

[0047] The control unit 203 performs functions shown in various modules, such as a receiving control module 2031, a transmitting control module 2032, a voucher data reception module 2033, a voucher data storage module 2034, a voucher data validity check module 2035, a voucher data entry extraction module 2036, and an information registration module 2037, by the processor 29 of the server 20 performing processing according to a program.

[0048] 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.

[0049] The transmission control module 2032 controls the process in which the server 20 transmits signals to external devices in accordance with a communication protocol.

[0050] The evidence data receiving module 2033 controls the process of receiving evidence data transmitted from the Web server 30, which is an external Web service. The evidence data received by the evidence data receiving module 2033 is account information and transaction detail information transmitted by financial institutions and credit card companies that are the providers of the Web server 30, and specifically includes document data such as invoices and receipts, sales data at stores, etc.

[0051] The evidence data reception module 2033 may receive evidence data transmitted by, for example, a predetermined electronic communication means. The predetermined electronic communication means is a communication tool that allows users who have accounts to communicate with each other, and includes email, chat tools, SNS (social networking services), and the like.

[0052] The evidence data storage module 2034 controls the process of determining and storing the evidence data received by the evidence data reception module 2033 in a storage location in the evidence storage storage 2022, which is managed based on a first predetermined rule. The first predetermined rule is a rule for storing the evidence data in the evidence storage storage 2022, such as storing the evidence data in a folder (of the document name of the evidence data) determined according to the type of evidence data, storing the evidence data in a folder with a month name determined for each month in which the evidence data was created, etc. At this time, the evidence data storage module 2034 registers and stores information on the storage location of the evidence data in the evidence data management database 2021.

[0053] For example, when storing the evidence data in a predetermined storage location in the evidence storage storage 2022, the evidence data storage module 2034 may make a determination based on a machine learning model generated from information on storage locations where the evidence data was previously stored, as described above. Furthermore, when storing the evidence data in a predetermined storage location in the evidence storage storage 2022, the evidence data storage module 2034 may determine the storage location based on either or both of the sender and the transmission time when the evidence data is received by a predetermined electronic communication means. For example, storing the evidence data in a folder with a company name assigned to each sender company name is included.

[0054] Furthermore, for example, when the evidence data reception module 2033 receives evidence data, the evidence data storage module 2034 controls a process of outputting information notifying that the received evidence data will be stored in a predetermined storage location in the determined evidence storage storage 2022. The evidence data storage module 2034 may output the notified information to be displayed on the display 150 of the terminal device 10, or may output the information by e-mail or the like to present it to the user.

[0055] The evidence data validity check module 2035 reads the evidence data stored in the evidence storage 2022, and controls a process of checking whether the information described in the stored evidence data is valid based on a third predetermined rule. The third predetermined rule is an item for checking the contents of the evidence data, such as whether the creation date and the written date are correct, whether there is no large discrepancy compared to the processing date, whether the account item is appropriate for the description of the evidence, whether there is no error in the total amount, whether approval by a third party has been performed, etc.

[0056] Furthermore, the voucher data authenticity check module 2035 outputs the check result when the check result is not authentic. The check result is output to, for example, the display 150 of the terminal device 10 to be displayed and presented to the user. Alternatively, the voucher data authenticity check module 2035 may output the check result by e-mail or the like to present it to the user.

[0057] Furthermore, the voucher data authenticity check module 2035 may perform an excess / deficiency check as an authenticity check, which is a check as to whether or not there is an excess or deficiency in the voucher data stored in the voucher storage storage 2022. The excess / deficiency check includes, for example, whether or not there is deposit / withdrawal data corresponding to receipt data.

[0058] The evidence data description extraction module 2036 controls a process of reading the evidence data stored in the evidence storage 2022 and extracting description information of the stored evidence data based on a second rule determined in advance. The second rule determined in advance is an item for extracting the description contents of the evidence data, and for example, when the evidence data is an invoice, specific items such as the issuer of the invoice, the invoice date, the subject, the item (account item), and the amount, as well as the position data of each item in the evidence data, are included.

[0059] The information registration module 2037 controls the process of registering the description information extracted by the evidential data description extraction module 2036 as business information and storing it in memory. The business information is various data used in the business of the operator for various services provided by the service providing system 1, and includes, for example, accounting data such as journal entries in accounting processing, data such as invoices in transaction processing, and payroll-related data in personnel and labor processing.

[0060] <2 Data Structure> FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a data structure of the evidence data management database 2021 stored in the server 20 constituting the service providing system 1 of the first embodiment.

[0061] As shown in Figure 4, each record in the evidence data management database 2021 includes an item "evidence ID", an item "storage location", an item "storage date and time", an item "evidence (document) name", an item "target service", etc.

[0062] The item “evidence ID” is information for identifying each piece of evidence data transmitted from the Web server 30 that is managed by the service providing system 1.

[0063] The item "storage location" is information indicating the storage location within the evidence storage storage 2022 that stores the evidence data and is managed by the service providing system 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, a URL indicating the storage location is stored.

[0064] The item “storage date and time” is information indicating the date and time when the evidence data, which is managed by the service providing system 1, was stored in the evidence storage storage 2022.

[0065] The item "Document Name" is information on the name indicating the contents of the document data managed by the service providing system 1, and specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the names of documents such as invoices and card usage statements are stored.

[0066] The item “Target Service” is information about the name of the service being used in the service provision system 1 that uses the supporting data managed by the service provision system 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the names of services such as accounting and human resources and labor are stored.

[0067] The evidence data storage module 2034 of the server 20 adds a record to the evidence data management database 2021 in conjunction with storing the evidence data in the evidence storage storage 2022 .

[0068] <3 operations> Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 5, a description will be given of the voucher reading process, the normal behavior information extraction process, and the user notification process performed by the service providing system 1 in the first embodiment.

[0069] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of a flow of a voucher reading process performed by the service providing system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0070] In step S121, the evidence data receiving module 2033 of the server 20 receives, via the communication unit 201, the evidence data transmitted from the Web server 30, which is an external Web service.

[0071] In step S122, the evidence data storage module 2034 of the server 20 determines a storage location in the evidence storage storage 2022, which is managed based on a predetermined first rule, for the evidence data accepted in step S121, and stores the data in the determined storage location. Furthermore, upon accepting the evidence data in step S121, the evidence data storage module 2034 transmits information to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201 notifying that the accepted evidence data will be stored in a predetermined storage location in the determined evidence storage storage 2022.

[0072] For example, in step S122, when supporting evidence data is received with the item "Supporting evidence ID" of "#0101" in the supporting evidence data management database 2021 shown in Fig. 4 and the item "Supporting evidence (document) name" of "Invoice", the item "Storage location" of the supporting evidence data is stored at the URL location shown in Fig. 4. Also, as in the example stored in the supporting evidence data management database 2021 shown in Fig. 4, the storage URL of the received supporting evidence data is stored in the item "Storage location", the storage date and time is stored in the item "Storage date and time", the name of the supporting evidence data is stored in the item "Supporting evidence (document) name", and the name of the service that uses the supporting evidence data is stored in the item "Target service".

[0073] In step S112, the transmitting / receiving unit 172 of the terminal device 10 receives information notifying the storage location of the evidence data transmitted from the server 20. The notification control unit 173 causes the display 150 to display the received information on the storage location of the evidence data.

[0074] In step S123, the voucher data validity check module 2035 of the server 20 reads the voucher data stored in step S122, and checks whether the information written in the stored voucher data is valid based on a third rule that has been determined in advance. In step S123, for example, checks are made to see whether the creation date and the written date are correct, there is no significant discrepancy compared to the processing date, the account item is appropriate for the description of the voucher, there is no error in the total amount, and a third party has approved the data.

[0075] In step S124, the voucher data description extraction module 2036 of the server 20 reads the voucher data stored in the voucher storage 2022 in step S122, and extracts description information of the stored voucher data based on a second predetermined rule. In step S124, for example, if the voucher data is an invoice, description contents such as the issuer of the invoice, the invoice date, the subject, the item (account title), and the amount are extracted.

[0076] In step S125, the information registration module 2037 of the server 20 registers the description information extracted in step S124 as business information and stores it in memory. In step S124, for example, if the supporting data is an invoice, accounting data such as journal entries in accounting processing is generated from the description of the invoice issuer, invoice date, subject, item (account title), amount, etc., and registered as accounting information.
