Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, when information acquisition is performed in a push type, when the received data becomes large, the sorting and classification of the received data become complicated operations. Therefore, a technology for automatically storing the information transmitted in a push type in a predetermined storage location has been desired.

[0006] Therefore, this disclosure describes a technology for storing evidence data acquired via a push method in a predetermined storage location in storage and registering the information contained in the evidence data. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a program is provided for managing a business operator's documentation data, which is to be executed on a computer having a processor and memory. The memory stores business information used in the business operator's operations. The program causes the processor to perform the following steps: receive documentation data transmitted from an external web service; determine a storage location in storage managed according to a predetermined first rule and store the received documentation data therein; read the stored documentation data and extract the information contained in the stored documentation data according to a predetermined second rule; and register the extracted information as business information and store it in memory. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to this disclosure, it becomes possible to store evidence data transmitted from external web services in a designated storage location in storage and to register the information contained in the evidence data. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0009] [Figure 1] This diagram shows the overall configuration of the service provision system 1 according to Embodiment 1. [Figure 2] This is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the terminal device 10 that constitutes the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1. [Figure 3] This diagram shows the functional configuration of the server 20 that constitutes the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1. [Figure 4] This figure shows an example of the data structure of the document data management database 2021 stored by the server 20 that constitutes the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1. [Figure 5] This flowchart shows an example of the flow of the document reading process performed by the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions of them will not be repeated.

[0011] <Overview> The following describes the service provision system related to this disclosure. The service provision system related to this disclosure is a system for businesses, whether corporations or sole proprietors, to periodically acquire information used in the business and provide it to users who use various services used in their business. Businesses, whether corporations or sole proprietors, need to properly account for income and expenses that arise as they conduct their business. In addition, when businesses and sole proprietors conduct transactions such as ordering, receiving, and purchasing goods and services, they often go through processes such as quotation, ordering, receiving, delivery, invoicing, and payment, and it is necessary to process transactions such as issuing documents at each of these processes. Furthermore, when companies employ employees, they need to handle personnel and labor processing such as salary payments and the associated with withholding tax and social insurance payments.

[0012] The service provision system described in this disclosure is a system that provides various services to users, who are businesses, such as accounting processing, transaction processing, and human resources and labor processing as described above. The service provision system described in this disclosure is a system that is provided as a web service, for example, via a cloud server, using a so-called SaaS (Software as a Service) model.

[0013] By the way, in accounting processing, which is an example of the various services mentioned above, it is possible to provide the latest information by linking with external web services such as financial institutions. Therefore, it is necessary to exchange information with external web services. In the service provision system related to this disclosure, information is acquired using a push method as a means to do so. While acquiring information using a push method has the advantage of reducing time lag compared to a pull method, when a large amount of data is received using the push method, organizing and classifying the received data becomes a complicated task.

[0014] Therefore, the service provision system related to this disclosure stores the evidence data transmitted from external web services in a designated storage location in the storage based on a predetermined first rule. Furthermore, the service provision system related to this disclosure extracts the information contained in the stored evidence data based on a predetermined second rule and registers the information contained in the evidence data.

[0015] The above configuration enables efficient organization and classification of supporting document data. It also allows for efficient information registration from supporting document data.

[0041] <1.2 Functional Configuration of Server 20> Figure 3 shows the functional configuration of the server 20 that constitutes the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 3, the server 20 functions as a communication unit 201, a storage unit 202, and a control unit 203.

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

[0043] The storage unit 202 consists of, for example, memory 25 and storage 26, and stores data and programs used by the server 20. The storage unit 202 also stores a document data management database 2021, a document storage 2022, a rule database 2023, and the like.

[0044] The document data management database 2021 is a database that holds information about the storage location of push-transmitted document data, which is managed by service delivery system 1. Further details will be described later.

[0045] The document storage 2022 is an area within storage 26 for holding push-transmitted document data that is managed by the service provision system 1. The document storage 2022 is organized into folders based on the type of document data, the service used, and the storage timing of the document data. Alternatively, the document storage 2022 may be a storage area such as a file box located on a cloud server.

[0046] The rule database 2023 is a database for holding predetermined rules (first rules) for determining where in the document storage storage 2022 to store push-transmitted document data that is managed by the service provision system 1, and predetermined rules (second rules) for determining which information contained in the document data to extract and register in the service provision system 1. The rule information held in the rule database 2023 may be determined based on a machine learning model generated from information on the storage locations where document data has been stored in the past. 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 obtained. The machine learning performed to generate the machine learning model may be performed by supervised machine learning using predetermined training data, by unsupervised machine learning, or by deep learning. Furthermore, the evaluation results from the machine learning model may be compared with the results from user input later, and an aggregation process may be performed to merge the learning results from further machine learning.

[0047] The control unit 203 performs the functions shown in the various modules, namely the reception control module 2031, the transmission control module 2032, the document data reception module 2033, the document data storage module 2034, the document data validity check module 2035, the document data entry extraction module 2036, and the information registration module 2037, as the server 20's processor 29 processes according to the program.

[0048] The receive control module 2031 controls the process by which the server 20 receives signals from external devices according to a communication protocol.

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

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

[0051] The document data receiving module 2033 may, for example, receive document data transmitted via a predetermined electronic communication means. The predetermined electronic communication means is a communication tool that allows users with accounts to communicate with each other, and includes email, chat tools, SNS (social networking services), etc.

[0052] The document data storage module 2034 controls the process of determining and storing the document data received by the document data reception module 2033 in the document storage storage 2022, which is managed according to a predetermined first rule. The predetermined first rule is the rule for storing document data in the document storage storage 2022, for example, storing it in a folder (named after the document data form) according to the type of document data, or storing it in a folder named after the month in which the document data was created. At this time, the document data storage module 2034 registers and stores the information of the document data storage destination in the document data management database 2021.

[0053] The document data storage module 2034 may, for example, determine the location of the document data when storing it in a predetermined location in the document storage storage 2022 based on a machine learning model generated from information about the locations where document data has been stored in the past, as described above. Furthermore, when storing the document data in a predetermined location in the document storage storage 2022, the document data storage module 2034 may determine the location based on either the sender, the transmission time, or both, when the document data is received via a predetermined electronic communication means. For example, this could include storing the data in a folder with the company name assigned to each sending company name.

[0054] Furthermore, the document data storage module 2034 controls the process of outputting information notifying the recipient that the received document data should be stored in a predetermined storage location in the determined document storage storage 2022, for example, when the document data reception module 2033 receives document data. The document data storage module 2034 may output and display the notification information on, for example, the display 150 of the terminal device 10, or it may output it via email or the like and present it to the user.

[0055] The document data validity check module 2035 reads the document data stored in the document storage 2022 and controls the process of checking whether the information contained in the stored document data is valid based on a predetermined third rule. The predetermined third rule consists of items for checking the contents of the document data, such as whether the creation date and date are correct, whether there is a large discrepancy with the processing date, whether the account title is appropriate for the document, whether the total amount is correct, and whether third-party approval has been obtained.

[0056] Furthermore, the document data validity check module 2035 outputs the check result if the validity check is invalid. The check result can be displayed to the user, for example, on the display 150 of the terminal device 10. Alternatively, the document data validity check module 2035 may output the check result to the user via email or other means.

[0057] Furthermore, the document data validity check module 2035 may also perform a check for discrepancies in the document data stored in the document storage 2022 as part of its validity check. This check includes, for example, verifying whether there is corresponding deposit / withdrawal data for receipt data.

[0058] The document data extraction module 2036 reads the document data stored in the document storage 2022 and controls the process of extracting the information contained in the stored document data based on a predetermined second rule. The predetermined second rule is an item for extracting the contents of the document data, and for example, if the document data is an invoice, it may include specific items such as the issuer of the invoice, the invoice date, subject, item (account), and amount, as well as location data for each item in the document data.

[0059] The information registration module 2037 controls the process of registering the information extracted by the document data extraction module 2036 as business information and storing it in memory. Business information refers to various data used in the business of a business operator, which is used for various services provided by the service provision system 1. For example, it includes accounting data such as journal entries in accounting processing, data such as invoices in transaction processing, and payroll-related data in human resources processing.

[0060] <2 Data Structure> Figure 4 shows an example of the data structure of the evidence data management database 2021 stored by the server 20 that constitutes the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1.

[0061] As shown in Figure 4, each record in the document data management database 2021 includes the fields "Document ID", "Storage Location", "Storage Date and Time", "Document (Form) Name", and "Target Service", etc.

[0062] The item "Proof ID" is information that identifies each piece of proof data sent from the Web server 30, which is managed by the service provision system 1.

[0063] The item "Storage Location" is information indicating the storage location within the document storage storage 2022, which stores the document data and is managed by the service provision system 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, it stores a URL indicating the storage location.

[0064] The item "Storage Date and Time" indicates the date and time when the document data, which is managed by service provision system 1, was stored in document storage storage 2022.

[0065] The item "Document Name" contains information about the name of the document data that is managed by the service provision system 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, it stores the names of documents such as invoices and credit card statements.

[0066] The item "Target Service" contains information about the names of services used by Service Provision System 1 that utilize the document data managed by Service Provision System 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, it stores the names of services such as accounting and human resources.

[0067] The document data storage module 2034 of server 20 adds a record to the document data management database 2021 when it stores the document data in the document storage storage 2022.

[0068] <3 operations> The following describes the document reading process, normal behavior information extraction process, and user notification process performed by the service provision system 1 in Embodiment 1, with reference to Figure 5.

[0069] Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the document reading process performed by the service provision system 1 of Embodiment 1.

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

[0071] In step S122, the document data storage module 2034 of the server 20 determines a storage location in the document storage storage 2022, which is managed based on a predetermined first rule, and stores the document data received in step S121. In addition, when the document data storage module 2034 receives the document data in step S121, it transmits information to the terminal device 10 via the communication unit 201 notifying it that the received document data will be stored in the predetermined storage location in the document storage storage 2022.

[0072] For example, in step S122, when the document data management database 2021 shown in Figure 4 receives document data where the "Document ID" field is "#0101" and the "Document (Form) Name" field is "Invoice," the document data is stored in the URL location shown in Figure 4 in the "Storage Location" field. In addition, as shown in the example stored in the document data management database 2021 shown in Figure 4, the URL where the received document data is stored is stored in the "Storage Location" field, the storage date and time is stored in the "Storage Date and Time" field, the document data name is stored in the "Document (Form) Name" field, and the name of the service that uses the document data is stored in the "Target Service" field.

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

[0074] In step S123, the document data validity check module 2035 of server 20 reads the document data stored in step S122 and performs a validity check to determine whether the information contained in the stored document data is valid, based on a predetermined third rule. In step S123, checks are performed, for example, to ensure that the creation date and time and the date and time recorded are correct, that there is no significant discrepancy with the processing date, that the account titles are appropriate for the document, that the total amount is correct, and that third-party approval has been obtained.

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

[0076] In step S125, the information registration module 2037 of the server 20 registers the 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 for accounting processing is generated from the contents of the invoice, such as the issuer, invoice date, subject, item (account), and amount, and registered as accounting information.

[0077] As described above, the service provision system 1 stores the evidence data transmitted from the web server 30 in a predetermined storage location in the evidence storage storage 2022 based on a predetermined first rule. The service provision system 1 also extracts the information contained in the stored evidence data based on a predetermined second rule and registers the information contained in the evidence data.

[0078] <4. Application Examples> The following describes specific application examples of service delivery system 1.

[0079] For example, service provision system 1 receives sales slip data from an e-commerce site or POS data from a physical store. This data is temporarily stored in a file box or similar. Subsequently, this data is stored in a designated storage location in the storage system, the information is checked and extracted, and registered as accounting data.

[0080] Furthermore, the service provision system 1 receives invoice data or expense reimbursement data from designated e-commerce sites or transaction platforms. This data is temporarily stored in a file box or similar location. Subsequently, this data is stored in a designated storage location in the storage system, the information contained is checked and extracted, and registered as accounting data.

[0081] <Summary> As described above, according to this embodiment, the evidence data transmitted from an external web service is stored in a predetermined storage location in the storage based on a predetermined first rule. This makes it possible to efficiently organize and classify the evidence data.
