The rule identification information is an item in which a unique value is set for each rule information. The tax category is an item that stores the applicable tax category related to the transaction or voucher to which the rule applies. The tax category is the same as the tax category item in the transaction table 1013. The rule data is an item that stores detailed data about a rule, including information about the rule, its conditions, and how it is applied.

[0021] <Configuration of the control unit 104 of the server 10> The control unit 104 of the server 10 includes a user registration control unit 1041. The control unit 104 executes an application program 1011 stored in the storage unit 101, thereby realizing each functional unit.

[0022] The user registration control unit 1041 performs processing to store information about users who wish to use the service according to the present disclosure in the user table 1012. The information stored in the user table 1012 is generated when a user opens a web page operated by a service provider from any information processing terminal, enters information into a predetermined input form, and transmits the information to the server 10. The user registration control unit 1041 stores the received information in a new record in the user table 1012, completing the user registration. This allows the user stored in the user table 1012 to use the service. Before the user registration control unit 1041 registers the user information in the user table 1012, the service provider may conduct a predetermined examination to restrict whether or not the user is permitted to use the service. The user ID may be any character string or number that can identify the user, any character string or number desired by the user, or may be automatically set by the user registration control unit 1041.

[0023] <Configuration of User Terminal 20> The user terminal 20 is an information processing device operated by a user who uses a service.

[0030] <System 1 Operation> Each process of the system 1 will be explained below. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the eligibility determination process.

[0031] <Eligibility determination process> The eligibility determination process is a process for determining the eligibility of a transaction or voucher based on the registered transaction and voucher.

[0032] <Outline of eligibility determination process> The eligibility determination process is a series of steps including the steps of registering a new transaction, registering and associating supporting documents related to the transaction, analyzing the registered supporting documents, determining the eligibility of the transaction or supporting documents based on the transaction and supporting documents, and notifying the determination results.

[0033] <Details of the eligibility determination process> The details of the eligibility determination process are explained below.

[0034] <Transaction Memory Step> In step S101, the control unit 104 of the server 10 executes a transaction storage step of storing predetermined transaction information relating to a checkout transaction. The user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to input the URL of a page (transaction storage page) for executing transaction storage processing into a web browser or the like, and opens the transaction storage page. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 sends a request to the server 10 to open the transaction storage page. The control unit 104 of the server 10 generates a transaction storage page based on the received request, and sends it to the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays the received transaction storage page on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20. The transaction memory page includes an input field for selecting whether the transaction is income or expenditure, an input field for selecting whether the transaction is unsettled or settled, input fields for the transaction account, date of occurrence, client, account title, amount, item, department, memo, tag, segment, remarks, etc., and a button for attaching supporting documents, etc., regarding accounting transactions (hereinafter referred to as "transactions"). The user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to input information about the accounting transaction (e.g., purchase of goods, sale of goods, tax category, amount, etc.) into the input fields. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 transmits the user ID 2011 and the input data to the server 10. The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the received user ID 2011 in the user ID field of a new record in the transaction table 1013, and stores the received input data in the account title, item, tax category, amount, and other fields (not shown). For example, the tax category stores information indicating the tax application category, such as "account vs. purchase (10%)" or "account vs. purchase (copy 80) 10%."

[0035] In step S101, the transaction storing step may execute a step of storing predetermined transaction information identified by referring to the predetermined supporting evidence information stored in the supporting evidence storing step. The supporting evidence storing step may execute a step of storing the predetermined supporting evidence information before storing the predetermined transaction information in the transaction storing step. Specifically, the transaction storage step may be configured to be executed after the supporting document storage step. For example, the control unit 104 of the server 10 transmits one or more pieces of supporting document information stored in the supporting document table 1014 to the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays the received one or more pieces of supporting document information on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20 in a selectable manner. The user selects specific supporting document information by operating the input device 206 of the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 or the control unit 104 of the server 10 analyzes the supporting document data included in the selected supporting document information using optical character recognition (OCR) or other large-scale language models, etc., to extract information corresponding to input fields on the transaction storage page, such as the transaction account, date of occurrence, client, account title, amount, item, department, memo, tag, segment, and remarks. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays the transaction storage page with the extracted information entered into the input fields on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20. Among the input fields on the transaction storage page, input items that could not be extracted from the supporting information are displayed as input items for which no input has been made. The user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to input items (tax classification in this disclosure) that have not been input in the input fields of the transaction storage page. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 transmits all input items (transaction information) entered in the input fields of the transaction storage page to the server 10. The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the received transaction information in the transaction table 1013 in the fields of account title, item, tax category, amount, and other items not shown. This reduces the workload of the user in registering transactions based on the already registered supporting information. In this disclosure, even in this case, the user is required to enter at least the tax category item and store the transaction information.

[0036] <Evidence Memory Step> In step S102, the control unit 104 of the server 10 executes a voucher storage step of storing predetermined supporting information regarding the accounting transaction in association with the predetermined transaction information stored in the transaction storage step. The voucher storage step executes a step of storing the predetermined supporting information after storing the predetermined transaction information in the transaction storage step. Specifically, the user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to select the Attach Voucher button provided on the transaction storage page. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays a Voucher Attachment screen on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20, to which one or more pieces of evidence data can be attached. The user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to select one or more pieces of evidence data stored in the memory unit 201 of the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 transmits the transaction ID of the transaction table 1013 stored in step S101 and the selected one or more pieces of evidence data to the server 10. The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the received transaction ID and one or more pieces of evidence data in the transaction ID and evidence data items of a new record in the evidence table 1014. This allows the transaction registered in step S101 to be stored in association with the supporting document data.

[0037] The voucher storage step may include a step of storing the specified voucher information attached together with the input of the specified transaction information in the transaction storage step. The supporting document storage step does not necessarily have to be executed after the transaction storage step. For example, the transaction storage step and the supporting document storage step may be executed simultaneously. That is, the user may operate the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to input information about the accounting transaction into the input field of the transaction storage page, and select supporting document data to attach (upload) by selecting the "Attach supporting document" button without transmitting the information about the accounting transaction to the server 10. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 transmits both the information about the accounting transaction and the supporting document data to the server 10. The control unit 104 of the server 10 generates a unique transaction ID. The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the transaction ID and information about the accounting transaction in the transaction ID field of a new record in the transaction table 1013, and the information about the accounting transaction in the account title, item, tax category, amount, and other fields (not shown). Similarly, the control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the transaction ID and supporting document data in the transaction ID and supporting document data fields of a new record in the supporting document table 1014.

[0038] The voucher storage step may include a step of storing predetermined voucher information before storing the predetermined transaction information in the transaction storage step. The user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to input the URL of a page (evidence storage page) for executing the voucher storage process into a web browser or the like, and opens the voucher storage page. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 sends a request to open the voucher storage page to the server 10. The control unit 104 of the server 10 generates a voucher storage page based on the received request and sends it to the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays the received voucher storage page on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20. The evidence storage page includes an attach evidence button, etc. The user selects the attach evidence button provided on the transaction storage page by operating the input device 206 of the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays a evidence attachment screen on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20, to which one or more pieces of evidence data can be attached. The user selects one or more pieces of evidence data stored in the memory unit 201 of the user terminal 20 by operating the input device 206 of the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 transmits the selected one or more pieces of evidence data to the server 10. The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the received one or more pieces of evidence data in the evidence data item of a new record in the evidence table 1014. In this case, the transaction storage step is executed after the voucher storage step is executed. As already explained in step S101, the user can input transaction information into the input field of the transaction storage page by referring to the voucher data that has already been registered.

[0039] <Evidence analysis step> In step S103, the control unit 104 of the server 10 executes a voucher analysis step for determining whether or not the predetermined voucher information stored in the voucher storage step is eligible. Specifically, the control unit 104 of the server 10 analyzes whether the supporting document data stored in the supporting document table 1014 in step S102 complies with the requirements for a qualified invoice under the invoice system. In this disclosure, an invoice will be described as an example of supporting document data. Note that this disclosure may also be used when determining whether any supporting document, including an invoice (an estimate, an invoice, a receipt, a delivery note, etc.), is system-qualified (whether it satisfies the system requirements) under any system other than the invoice system. Specifically, the control unit 104 of the server 10 analyzes the character string obtained by applying optical character recognition (OCR) to the supporting data, thereby determining whether the supporting data contains information (character strings, etc.) that meets the requirements for a qualified invoice, such as the registration number of the qualified invoice issuer, the name or title of the issuer, the amount of consumption tax classified by applicable tax rate, etc. The control unit 104 of the server 10 may also determine whether the supporting data meets the requirements for a qualified invoice by using a learning model that has been trained to determine whether the supporting data meets the requirements for a qualified invoice, or other large-scale language models, etc. The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the determination result in the eligibility determination item of the target record in the evidence table 1014. For example, the control unit 104 of the server 10 stores a value of True if the evidence data is eligible, and a value of False if the evidence data is not eligible, in the eligibility determination item.

[0040] In the present disclosure, the control unit 104 of the server 10 is configured to execute the evidence analysis step in the eligibility determination process, but this is not limited to this. The control unit 104 of the server 10 may execute the evidence analysis step on the evidence data stored in the evidence table 1014 asynchronously, without synchronizing with other steps such as the transaction storage step and the evidence storage step.

[0041] <Eligibility determination step> In step S104, the control unit 104 of the server 10 executes an eligibility determination step in which the tax category of the specified transaction information stored in the transaction storage step is compared with the eligibility of the specified supporting document information identified in the supporting document analysis step. Specifically, the control unit 104 of the server 10 acquires the tax category item in the transaction table 1013. Based on the acquired tax category, the control unit 104 of the server 10 searches the tax category item in the rule table 1021 and acquires the rule data corresponding to the tax category. Specifically, if the value of the tax category is "account vs. purchase (10%)", rule data indicating that "a qualified invoice is attached" is acquired. If the value of the tax category is "account vs. purchase (copy 80) 10%", rule data indicating that "a qualified invoice is not attached" is acquired. The control unit 104 of the server 10 retrieves the supporting document data and the eligibility determination items by searching the transaction ID item in the supporting document table 1014 based on the transaction ID included in the transaction information. Note that a configuration may be adopted in which multiple supporting document data are stored in association with one transaction.

[0042] The control unit 104 of the server 10 compares the items of eligibility determination included in the one or more pieces of acquired evidence information with the rule data to determine whether or not the conditions of the rule data are met. For example, when the rule data is "a qualified invoice is attached," the control unit 104 of the server 10 determines that the condition is met if the eligibility determination of one or more pieces of supporting evidence information contains at least one value of "qualified (True)." On the other hand, the control unit 104 of the server 10 determines that the condition is not met if the eligibility determination of one or more pieces of supporting evidence information does not contain the value of "qualified (True)." Similarly, when the rule data is "no qualified invoice is attached," the control unit 104 of the server 10 determines that the condition is not met if the eligibility determination of one or more pieces of supporting evidence information contains at least one value of "qualified (True)." The control unit 104 of the server 10 determines that the condition is met if the eligibility determination of one or more pieces of supporting evidence information does not contain the value of "qualified (True)."

[0043] The control unit 104 of the server 10 stores the comparison result in the judgment flag field of the target record in the transaction table 1013. For example, the control unit 104 of the server 10 stores a value of True in the judgment flag field if the condition defined in the rule data is met, and a value of False if the condition is not met.

[0044] In the present disclosure, the control unit 104 of the server 10 is configured to execute the eligibility determination step in the eligibility determination process, but this is not limited to this. The control unit 104 of the server 10 may execute the eligibility determination step asynchronously on the transaction information stored in the transaction table 1013 without synchronizing with other steps such as the transaction storage step and the voucher storage step.

[0045] <Output step> In step S105, the control unit 104 of the server 10 executes an output step of outputting the comparison result obtained by comparing the tax category of the specified transaction information stored in the transaction storage step with the eligibility of the specified supporting document information identified in the supporting document analysis step. Specifically, the output step may output a notification indicating that the eligibility of the transaction information and the supporting document information do not match when the eligibility determined based on the tax category of the specified transaction information does not match the eligibility of the specified supporting document information. Specifically, the control unit 104 of the server 10 transmits the determination result in step S104 to the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 outputs the received determination result via the output device 208 of the user terminal 20. For example, the control unit 104 of the server 10 refers to the transaction table 1013 and acquires the items of the user ID and the judgment flag. If the information "conditions not met (False)" is stored in the determination flag item, the control unit 104 of the server 10 transmits a message including text such as "The eligibility conditions identified based on the tax category do not match the eligibility conditions identified based on the supporting document" to the user terminal 20 of the user identified based on the user ID. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays the received message on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20, etc. When the information "conditions are met (True)" is stored in the determination flag item, the control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 may display a message including text such as "The eligibility conditions specified based on the tax category match the eligibility conditions specified based on the supporting document" on the display 2081 or the like of the user terminal 20. Note that when the conditions are met, the control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 may not display the message on the display 2081 or the like of the user terminal 20.

[0046] The output step executes a step of not outputting the comparison result if the users involved in the accounting transaction satisfy a predetermined condition. Specifically, the control unit 104 of the server 10 searches the user ID item in the user table 1012 based on the acquired user ID, and acquires the user data item. For example, if the user data item includes information indicating that the user is a business operator that meets the requirements for the small amount exception under the invoice system, the control unit 104 of the server 10 may not send a message including text to the user terminal 20 of the user identified based on the user ID. For example, if the company to which the party (user) of the accounting transaction, who is the executing entity of the program disclosed herein, belongs meets the conditions for the small amount exemption for invoices, the comparison results may not be output. The user may choose not to check the comparison results. In this disclosure, the requirements for the small amount exception are disclosed, but are not limited to this, and the comparison results may not be output if it is unnecessary to output the comparison results to the user based on the user data. Also, for example, the comparison results may not be output if the other party in the accounting transaction satisfies certain conditions for certain transaction information.

[0047] <Output Step (First Embodiment)> In step S105, the output step executes a step of outputting a notice prompting correction of the predetermined transaction information or the predetermined evidence information. Specifically, when the information "Conditions not met (False)" is stored in the judgment flag item, the control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 may display a message including text such as "The eligibility conditions identified based on the tax category do not match the eligibility conditions identified based on the supporting documents, so either the transaction information or the supporting document information, or both, must be corrected" on the display 2081 of the user terminal 20, etc. The message may include a URL or the like for identifying a manual, document, or the like that indicates the procedure for correcting the transaction information.

[0048] <Output Step (Second Embodiment)> When the transaction storage step stores specified transaction information identified by reference to the specified supporting document information stored in the supporting document storage step, the output step may output a notification prompting the correction of the specified supporting document information if the eligibility identified based on the tax category of the specified transaction information does not match the eligibility of the specified supporting document information. If a user registers transaction information by referencing the registered supporting information, it is highly likely that the transaction information entered by the user is correct, and that there is an error in the eligibility of the supporting information itself, or that the eligibility of the identified supporting information is incorrect. In such cases, the user is notified to correct the supporting information.

[0049] <Output Step (Third Embodiment)> In the case where the supporting document storage step stores the specified supporting document information after storing the specified transaction information in the transaction storage step, the output step may output a notification prompting the user to correct the specified transaction information if the eligibility determined based on the tax category of the specified transaction information does not match the eligibility of the specified supporting document information. If a user registers transaction information and then registers supporting information by attaching it, etc., it is highly likely that the supporting information is correct and that the transaction information entered by the user is incorrect. In such cases, the user will be notified and prompted to correct the transaction information.

[0050] <Output Step (Fourth Embodiment)> In the case where the supporting document storage step stores the specified supporting document information attached together with the input of the specified transaction information in the transaction storage step, the output step may output a notification prompting correction of the specified transaction information and the specified supporting document information if the eligibility determined based on the tax category of the specified transaction information does not match the eligibility of the specified supporting document information. If the user inputs transaction information and attaches supporting information at the same time, the user is prompted to correct both the transaction information and supporting information.

[0051] <Output Step (Fifth Embodiment)> The control unit 104 of the server 10 may execute a condition input step of receiving input of notification conditions from a user. In this case, the output step may output a notification based on the notification conditions input in the condition input step when the eligibility specified based on the tax category of the predetermined transaction information does not match the eligibility of the predetermined supporting document information. Specifically, the user can independently set notification conditions for when the eligibility specified based on the tax classification of the transaction information does not match the eligibility of the specified supporting information. For example, the notification conditions may be selectively set between a case where input of transaction information is prioritized (the transaction information is stored with reference to the supporting information) and a case where input of supporting information is prioritized (the supporting information is stored after storing the transaction information). For example, it is possible to set notification only in one case. The control unit 104 of the server 10 can store the notification conditions in a table (not shown) or the like.

[0052] The output step executes a step of outputting a notification prompting correction of predetermined transaction information or predetermined evidence information according to a notification condition. Specifically, the user may be able to set notification conditions so as to output a notification prompting the user to correct either the transaction information or the supporting document information.

[0053] <Output Step (Fifth Embodiment)> In step S105, an output step is executed to output a list of comparison results for a plurality of pieces of transaction information and a plurality of pieces of evidence information stored in association with the plurality of pieces of transaction information. In the present disclosure, the control unit 104 of the server 10 is configured to execute the output step in the eligibility determination process, but this is not limited to this. The control unit 104 of the server 10 may output the determination result identified in step S104 without synchronizing with other steps such as the transaction storage step and the voucher storage step. For example, a user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to send a request including a user ID 2011 to the server 10 in order to log in to the information processing service related to a transaction according to the present disclosure. The control unit 104 of the server 10 searches the user ID field in the transaction table 1013 based on the user ID 2011 and obtains one or more pieces of transaction information and one or more judgment flag fields. The control unit 104 of the server 10 transmits the obtained one or more pieces of transaction information and one or more judgment flags to the user terminal 20. The control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 displays one or more received transaction information items in a list such as a "to-do list" included on the transaction information service screen displayed after logging in. It is also possible to display only transaction information items for which the judgment flag stores information indicating "conditions not met (False)." Alternatively, the transaction information items may be sorted and displayed in order of priority or other scores calculated for each transaction information item. The to-do list may also be selectable by the user operating the input device 206 of the user terminal 20. The user may select a transaction displayed in the to-do list and modify the transaction information or supporting information by operating the input device 206 of the user terminal 20. After modification, the control unit 204 of the user terminal 20 may change the determination flag to a value of "conditions satisfied (True)."

[0054] The user operates the input device 206 of the user terminal 20 to correct the tax classification of the transaction information in question (from "Account vs. Purchase (copy 80) 10%" to "Account vs. Purchase (10%)") or correct (or reissue) the contents of the voucher so that it satisfies the eligibility requirements. In addition, if the analysis result of the voucher analysis step in step S103 is incorrect, the correction may be made by manually correcting the eligibility determination item in the voucher table 1014. By modifying the transaction information or supporting information, or the transaction information and supporting information, the user can change the value of the judgment flag from "conditions not met (False)" to "conditions met (True)." The control unit 104 of the server 10 may re-execute all or part of steps S101 to S105 of the eligibility determination process in response to user modifications to the transaction information or supporting document information. This can prompt the user to register appropriate transaction information.
