Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0013] Hereinafter, a business support device according to an embodiment to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The business support device according to this embodiment calculates the facility usage fee generated by renting a part of a commercial facility (facility) under a lease contract and opening a store, including the sales of installation devices such as vending machines, game devices, and massage chair devices installed in the store, so that it is possible to calculate the facility usage fee according to the facility usage form. Note that the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0014] (Hardware Configuration) As shown in FIG. 1, the business support apparatus 1 of the embodiment includes a storage unit 2, a control unit 3, a communication interface unit 4, and an input / output interface unit 5. An input device 6 and an output device 7 are connected to the input / output interface unit 5. As the output device 7, a display unit such as a monitor device (including a home television), a printing device, or a speaker device corresponds. As the input device 6, in addition to a keyboard device, a mouse device, and a microphone device, a monitor device that realizes a pointing device function in cooperation with the mouse device can be used.

[0015] The communication interface unit 4 is connected to a network 50 such as a wide area network such as the Internet or a private network such as a LAN (Local Area Network). A terminal device (store terminal device) 51 of a borrower such as a company that has a store in the facility is connected to the network 50. Each borrower transmits sales data of products sold or services provided by using the facility and sales data of installed devices such as vending machines installed in the facility from the store terminal device 51 to the business support apparatus 1 via the network.

[0016] Hereinafter, a "vending machine" is set as the installed device, and the description will be made on the assumption that vending machine sales data is transmitted from the store terminal device 51 to the business support apparatus 1 as the sales data of the installed device.

[0017] As the storage unit 2, for example, a storage device such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or an SSD (Solid State Drive) can be used. In the storage unit 2, there are provided a store master 11, a store-by-store minimum deposit amount master 12, a store-by-store fixed addition fee master 13, a product type-by-product type calculation rate master 14, a product type-unset calculation rate master 15, a vending machine-by-vending machine calculation rate master 16, a sales data storage unit 17, a vending machine sales data storage unit 18, an expense payment schedule data storage unit 19, and a store-by-store fixed amount master 20, which are storage areas respectively.

[0018] Figure 2 is a diagram showing the master system of the store master 11 to the vending machine-specific calculation rate master 16. As shown in this Figure 2, the store code of each store is stored in the store master 11. In the store-specific minimum guarantee amount master 12, the usage fee payment destination code and the minimum guarantee amount are stored in association with the store code. In the store-specific fixed addition fee master 13, the fee item code and the fixed addition amount are stored in association with the store code.

[0019] In the product type-specific calculation rate master 14, the product type code and the usage fee calculation rate are stored in association with the store code. In the product type-unset calculation rate master 15, the unset product type calculation rate is stored in association with the store code. In the vending machine-specific calculation rate master 16, the vending machine code and the usage fee calculation rate are stored in association with the store code.

[0020] Specifically, in the store master 11, as shown in Figure 3, for example, the store code of "T1000" and the store name of "〇〇 Store" are respectively associated and stored.

[0021] In the store-specific minimum guarantee amount master 12, as shown in Figure 4, the store code of "T1000", the usage fee payment destination code of "S1000", and the minimum guarantee amount of "50,000 yen" are respectively associated and stored. The "minimum guarantee amount" is used when calculating the sales handling fee for the product types for which the product type-specific calculation rate is not set in the product type-specific calculation rate master 14. Details will be described later.

[0022] In the store-specific fixed addition fee master 13, as shown in Figure 5, the fee item code of "electricity fee" of "M1000" and the fixed addition amount of "5,000 yen" are stored in association with the store code of "T1000". Also, in the store-specific fixed addition fee master 13, the fee item code of "gas and water fee" of "M2000" and the fixed addition amount of "8,000 yen" are stored in association with the store code of "T1000".

[0023] In the product type calculation rate master 14, as shown in FIG. 6, the product type code of "food" related to the store code of "T1000" and the product type calculation rate of "10%" are stored in association with each other. Also, in the product type calculation rate master 14, the product type code of "general merchandise" related to the store code of "T1000" and the product type calculation rate of "0%" are stored in association with each other.

[0024] In the unspecified product type calculation rate master 15, as shown in FIG. 7, the unspecified product type calculation rate, such as "4%", which is used for products with the above-mentioned product type code not set, is stored in association with the store code of "T1000".

[0025] In the vending machine type calculation rate master 16, as shown in FIG. 8, the vending machine code of "Z1000" that automatically sells "bottled drinking water" and the vending machine type calculation rate of "3%" are stored in association with the store code of "T1000". Also, in the vending machine type calculation rate master 16, the vending machine code of "Z2000" that automatically sells "canned drinking water" and the vending machine type calculation rate of "5%" are stored in association with the store code of "T1000".

[0026] Note that in the store-specific fixed amount master 20, as shown in FIG. 9, the usage fee payment destination code of "S1000" and the fixed amount of "50,000 yen" are stored in association with the store code of "T1000". This "fixed amount" is used when calculating the selling commission for the product types for which the product type calculation rate is not set in the product type calculation rate master 14. Details will be described later.

[0027] (Functional Configuration of Business Support Device) Next, the control unit 3 functions as an acquisition unit 21, a fixed addition fee calculation unit 22, a selling commission calculation unit 23, an installation location usage fee calculation unit 24, a data generation unit 25, and an output control unit 26, as shown in FIG. 1, by executing the business support program stored in the storage unit 2.

[0028] The acquisition unit 21 acquires the sales data of products transmitted from the store terminal device 51 from the sales data storage unit 17, and also acquires the sales data of the vending machines of the products from the vending machine sales data storage unit 18.

[0029] The fixed addition fee calculation unit 22 calculates the fixed addition fee that becomes the utility bill of the leased facility by referring to the fixed addition amount of the store-specific fixed addition fee master 13 shown in FIG. 5.

[0030] The sales commission calculation unit 23 calculates the type-specific sales commission by multiplying the type calculation rate (the type-specific calculation rate stored in the product type calculation rate master 14 in FIG. 6) set for each type of business transaction target (product or service) sold or provided in the leased facility by the sales amount of the business transaction target.

[0031] In addition, when no type calculation rate is set for the type of business transaction target sold or provided in the leased facility, the sales commission calculation unit 23 multiplies the sales amount of the business transaction target by the un-set type calculation rate (corresponding to the un-set product calculation rate stored in the product un-set calculation rate master 15 in FIG. 7) to calculate the un-set type sales commission.

[0032] Then, the sales commission calculation unit 23 calculates the sales commission corresponding to the sales of the product by adding the type-specific sales commission and the un-set type sales commission.

[0033] The installation location usage fee calculation unit 24 calculates the usage fee of the installation location of the installed device by multiplying the sales amount of the installed device (vending machine) for the leased facility (vending machine sales data: see FIG. 13) by a predetermined calculation rate set for the installed device (the vending machine-specific calculation rate stored in the vending machine-specific calculation rate master 16 in FIG. 8).

[0034] The data generation unit 25 generates expense payment schedule data including the fixed addition fee, the sales commission, and the usage fee of the installation location of the installed device (see FIG. 14).

[0035] The output control unit 26 outputs the generated expense payment schedule data to an external device (output device 7: display unit, printing device, external memory, etc.).

[0036] In addition, when a classification calculation rate is not set for the type of business transaction target sold or provided in the rental facility, the sales commission calculation unit 23 calculates using an un-set classification calculation rate (corresponding to the un-set variety calculation rate shown in FIG. 7) instead of the un-set classification sales commission. Instead, a fixed amount set as the fee for the rental facility (the fixed amount stored in the store-specific fixed amount master 20 in FIG. 9) or the minimum guaranteed amount (the minimum guaranteed amount stored in the store-specific minimum guaranteed amount master 12 in FIG. 4) is used as the un-set classification sales commission.

[0037] In addition, when the sum of the classification sales commission and the un-set classification sales commission calculated for each type is less than the preset minimum guaranteed amount of the sales commission (the minimum guaranteed amount stored in the store-specific minimum guaranteed amount master 12 in FIG. 4), the minimum guaranteed amount is used as the sales commission.

[0038] Examples of installed devices include vending machines that automatically sell business transaction targets when money as consideration is inserted, or devices such as massage chairs that drive a massage drive unit to provide massages.

[0039] (Calculation operation of facility usage fee according to facility usage form) FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the flow of the calculation operation of the facility usage fee according to the facility usage form in the business support device 1 of the embodiment. The control unit 3 functions as the acquisition unit 21 to the output control unit 26 by operating based on the business support program stored in the storage unit 2, and calculates the facility usage fee according to the facility usage form.

[0040] In this example, the acquisition unit 21 to the output control unit 26 will be described as being realized by software based on the business support program, but all or part of them may be realized by hardware. In either case, the same effects as those described later can be obtained.

[0041] That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the business support device 1 refers to various masters 12 to 16 and 20 other than the above-described store master 11, and calculates expense payment schedule data including the usage fee of the facility corresponding to the sales of the vending machine based on the sales data and vending machine sales data acquired from the store terminal device 51.

[0042] Specifically, the acquisition unit 21 acquires the sales data transmitted from the store terminal device 51 from the sales data storage unit 17. Further, the acquisition unit 21 acquires the vending machine sales data transmitted from the store terminal device 51 from the vending machine sales data storage unit 18.

[0043] The fixed addition fee calculation unit 22 refers to the store-specific fixed addition fee master 13 shown in FIG. 5, and calculates the "fixed addition fee" by calculating the total amount of the fixed addition amounts for each item as shown in FIG. 11. In the case of the example in FIG. 5, the fixed addition amount for the item of electricity charge is "5,000 yen", and the fixed addition amounts for gas and water charges are "8,000 yen". Therefore, the fixed addition fee calculation unit 22 adds "5,000 yen" for the electricity charge and "8,000 yen" for gas and water charges, and calculates a fixed addition fee of "13,000 yen" in total.

[0044] Next, the sales commission calculation unit 23 determines whether the item indicated by the item code of the sales data acquired from the sales data storage unit 17 is an item set in the item-specific calculation rate master 14 shown in FIG. 6.

[0045] (In the case of an item not set in the item-specific calculation rate master 14) When the item indicated by the item code of the sales data is an item not set in the item-specific calculation rate master 14, the sales commission calculation unit 23 calculates the sales commission by multiplying the sales amount of that item indicated by the sales data by the calculation rate for non-set items shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 11.

[0046] In addition, when specified by the operator, the selling commission calculation unit 23 uses the fixed amount stored in the store-specific fixed amount master 20 shown in FIG. 9 as the above-mentioned selling commission instead of the calculated selling commission, or uses the minimum guaranteed amount stored in the store-specific minimum guaranteed amount master 12 shown in FIG. 4 as the above-mentioned selling commission.

[0047] (In the case of the variety set in the variety-specific calculation rate master 14) Also, when the variety indicated by the variety code of the sales data is the variety set in the variety-specific calculation rate master 14, the selling commission calculation unit 23 calculates the selling commission by multiplying the sales amount of that variety indicated in the sales data by the variety-specific calculation rate set in the variety-specific calculation rate master 14 shown in FIG. 6.

[0048] (Specific example of calculating the selling commission) Specifically, assume that the sales data illustrated in FIG. 12 is obtained. In this example, on October 12, 2023, the sales amount of "Food" with the variety code of "H1000" is "100,000 yen". And for this variety of "Food (H1000)", as shown in FIG. 6, a variety-specific calculation rate of "10%" is set in the variety-specific calculation rate master 14. Therefore, the selling commission calculation unit 23 calculates the variety-specific selling commission of "10,000 yen" as shown in FIG. 12 by performing the calculation of "100,000 yen × 10%".

[0049] Similarly, on October 12, 2023, the sales amount of "General Merchandise" with the variety code of "H2000" is "200,000 yen". And for this variety of "General Merchandise (H2000)", as shown in FIG. 6, a variety-specific calculation rate of "0%" is set in the variety-specific calculation rate master 14. Therefore, the selling commission calculation unit 23 calculates the variety-specific selling commission of "0 yen" as shown in FIG. 12 by performing the calculation of "200,000 yen × 0%".

[0050] Similarly, on October 12, 2023, the sales amount of "Stationery" with the product code "H3000" is "300,000 yen". For this product of "Stationery (H3000)", as shown in Figure 6, no product-specific calculation rate is set in the product-specific calculation rate master 14. In this case, the sales commission calculation unit 23 acquires the "4%" un-set product calculation rate set in the un-set product calculation rate master 15 shown in Figure 7. Then, the sales commission calculation unit 23 performs the calculation of "300,000 yen × 4%", and calculates the un-set type sales commission of "12,000 yen" as shown in Figure 12.

[0051] Also, on October 13, 2023, the sales amount of "Food" with the product code "H1000" is "400,000 yen". For this product of "Food (H1000)", as shown in Figure 6, a product-specific calculation rate of "10%" is set in the product-specific calculation rate master 14. Therefore, the sales commission calculation unit 23 performs the calculation of "400,000 yen × 10%", and calculates the type sales commission of "40,000 yen" as shown in Figure 12.

[0052] Similarly, on October 13, 2023, the sales amount of "Stationery" with the product code "H3000" is "500,000 yen". For this product of "Stationery (H3000)", as shown in Figure 6, no product-specific calculation rate is set in the product-specific calculation rate master 14. In this case, the sales commission calculation unit 23 acquires the "4%" un-set product calculation rate set in the un-set product calculation rate master 15 shown in Figure 7. Then, the sales commission calculation unit 23 performs the calculation of "500,000 yen × 4%", and calculates the un-set type sales commission of "20,000 yen" as shown in Figure 12.

[0053] Similarly, on October 13, 2023, the sales amount of "Stationery" with the variety code of "H3000" is "600,000 yen". For this variety of "Stationery (H3000)", as shown in Figure 6, no variety-specific calculation rate is set in the variety-specific calculation rate master 14. In this case, the sales commission calculation unit 23 acquires the "4%" un-set variety calculation rate set in the un-set variety calculation rate master 15 shown in Figure 7. Then, the sales commission calculation unit 23 performs the calculation of "600,000 yen × 4%", and calculates the un-set variety sales commission of "24,000 yen" as shown in Figure 12.

[0054] After calculating the variety-specific sales commissions and un-set variety sales commissions in this way, the sales commission calculation unit 23 adds up the variety-specific sales commissions and un-set variety sales commissions calculated for each variety. In the case of the example in Figure 12, it becomes "10,000 yen + 0 yen + 12,000 yen + 40,000 yen + 20,000 yen + 24,000 yen = 106,000 yen". The sales commission calculation unit 23 compares the added amount of the variety-specific sales commissions and un-set variety sales commissions calculated for each variety with the minimum guarantee amount stored in the store-specific minimum guarantee amount master 12 shown in Figure 4.

[0055] In the case of this example, the added amount of 106,000 yen, which is the calculated sales commission for each variety, is larger than the minimum guarantee amount of 50,000 yen. Therefore, the sales commission calculation unit 23 sets 106,000 yen, which is larger than the minimum guarantee amount of 50,000 yen, as the final sales commission.

[0056] Note that when the added amount of the variety-specific sales commissions and un-set variety sales commissions calculated for each variety is smaller than the minimum guarantee amount, the sales commission calculation unit 23 sets the minimum guarantee amount of 50,000 yen as the final sales commission.

[0057] (Calculation operation of vending machine facility usage fee) Next, assume that vending machine sales data illustrated in FIG. 13 is obtained. In this example, the sales amount of the vending machine code "Z1000" in October 2023 is "100,000 yen". For the vending machine with this vending machine code of "Z1000 (PET bottle drinking water)", as shown in FIG. 8, a vending machine-specific calculation rate of "3%" is set in the vending machine-specific calculation rate master 16. Therefore, the installation location usage fee calculation unit 24 calculates the vending machine-specific facility usage fee of "3,000 yen" as shown in FIG. 13 by performing the calculation of "100,000 yen × 3%".

[0058] Similarly, the sales amount of the vending machine code "Z2000" in October 2023 is "200,000 yen". For the vending machine with this vending machine code of "Z2000 (canned drinking water)", as shown in FIG. 8, a vending machine-specific calculation rate of "5%" is set in the vending machine-specific calculation rate master 16. Therefore, the installation location usage fee calculation unit 24 calculates the vending machine-specific facility usage fee of "10,000 yen" as shown in FIG. 13 by performing the calculation of "200,000 yen × 5%".

[0059] Then, the amount obtained by adding up the vending machine-specific facility usage fees calculated for each vending machine code in this way is defined as the vending machine facility usage fee.

[0060] (Operation for generating expense payment planned data) Next, as shown in FIG. 14, the data generation unit 25 generates expense payment planned data including the fixed addition fee set in the store-specific fixed addition fee master 13 of FIG. 5, the sales commission calculated according to the product type, and the vending machine commission for each record, and stores it in the expense payment planned data storage unit 19.

[0061] In the above example, the fixed addition fees for "electricity" of "5,000 yen" and "gas and water charges" of "8,000 yen" are calculated as fixed addition fees. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, the data generation unit 25 generates a record of expense payment schedule data including the expense payment schedule number, the posting date such as "October 31, 2023", the payee code, the line number, the expense item code such as "M1000: electricity", and the amount of "5,000 yen", and stores it in the expense payment schedule data storage unit 19.

[0062] Also, as shown in FIG. 14, the data generation unit 25 generates a record of expense payment schedule data including the expense payment schedule number, the posting date such as "October 31, 2023", the payee code, the line number, the expense item code such as "M2000: gas and water charges", and the amount of "8,000 yen", and stores it in the expense payment schedule data storage unit 19.

[0063] Also, in the above example, the selling commission of "106,000 yen" is calculated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, the data generation unit 25 generates a record of expense payment schedule data for the selling commission including the expense payment schedule number, the posting date such as "October 31, 2023", the payee code, the line number, the expense item code such as "M3000: selling commission", and the amount of "106,000 yen", and stores it in the expense payment schedule data storage unit 19.

[0064] Also, in the above example, the vending machine facility usage fee of "13,000 yen" is calculated. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 14, the data generation unit 25 generates a record of expense payment schedule data for the vending machine facility usage fee including the expense payment schedule number, the posting date such as "October 31, 2023", the payee code, the line number, the expense item code such as "M4000: vending machine facility usage fee", and the amount of "13,000 yen", and stores it in the expense payment schedule data storage unit 19.

[0065] The expense payment schedule data generated in this way is read from the expense payment schedule data storage unit 19 by the output control unit 26 at a timing specified by, for example, an operator, and supplied to the output device 7 such as a display unit, a printing device, or an external memory.

[0066] (Effects of the Embodiment) As is clear from the above description, the business support apparatus 1 of the embodiment can automatically calculate the facility usage slips in the system. Therefore, the load of the calculation work of the facility usage fee according to the usage form of the facility can be reduced, and it is possible to reduce input errors and refine the usage fee by verifying whether the billing is appropriate.

[0067] In addition, since the system can calculate and record the facility usage fees that occur along with the sales of the store and the sales of the installed equipment such as vending machines installed in the store, it is possible to prevent omission and error in recording.

[0068] [Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Led by the United Nations] According to the present invention, since it can contribute to improving business efficiency and making appropriate management decisions of enterprises, it can contribute to the goals "8" and "9" of the SDGs.

[0069] In addition, according to the present invention, since it can contribute to reducing waste loss and promoting paperless and digitization, it can contribute to the goals "12", "13" and "15" of the SDGs.

[0070] In addition, according to the present invention, since it can contribute to strengthening control and governance, it can contribute to the goal "16" of the SDGs.

[0071] [Other Embodiments] The present invention can be implemented in various different forms within the scope of the technical idea described in the claims even in forms other than the above-described embodiments.
