Activity Information Accounting System with Automated Table Matching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional accounting systems require expertise to classify and input corporate activities, leading to lengthy processing times due to the need for manual search and input of complex combinations of activities and resources, limiting accessibility to non-experts.
Innovation Solution
An activity information accounting system with a central processing unit, input unit, auxiliary storage, output unit, selection unit, display unit, sum input unit, and report writing unit, featuring activity and resources tables that facilitate easy selection and matching of activities and resources, enabling non-experts to input and generate accounting reports.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional bookkeeping methods are used with detailed account titles and codes, then accounting precision is maintained, but operation complexity increases and requires expert knowledge
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex account title selection process into two simplified stages: first selecting from high-level activity categories (e.g., sales, purchase, expense), then automatically matching with predefined account titles. This segmentation reduces the cognitive load on users while maintaining accounting precision through the automated matching mechanism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces activity categories as an intermediary layer between user input and account titles. Instead of directly selecting from 300+ account titles, users select activity categories that automatically map to appropriate account titles through predefined relationships, thus simplifying operation while preserving precision.
2Measurement precision
If manual search and input of activity combinations is required, then accounting accuracy can be maintained, but processing time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-establishing the relationships between activity categories, resources, and account titles in a structured framework before actual accounting operations. This preprocessing enables automatic matching during transaction recording, dramatically reducing processing time while maintaining accuracy through the predefined relationships.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a standardized template or copy of the activity-resource-account relationship framework that can be repeatedly applied to different transactions. Once the mapping is established, it serves as a reusable template that automatically guides account title selection for similar transactions, reducing both time and potential errors.
3Reliability
If expert knowledge of account titles is required, then accounting reliability is ensured, but system accessibility decreases to non-experts
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal activity category framework that serves multiple functions: it simplifies user input, maintains accounting reliability through automated mapping, and adapts to different organizational structures. The same framework can accommodate various types of transactions and organizational hierarchies without requiring expert knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by automatically performing the account title selection function that previously required expert knowledge. The automated matching mechanism between activity categories, resources, and account titles allows non-experts to reliably record transactions without needing to understand the underlying accounting classifications.
Data Source
AI summary
The present invention relates to an activity information accounting system. The system includes a central processing unit 1 for interpreting and executing a program command to perform accounting and processing data, an input unit 2 for inputting activities and resources of a management organization, an auxiliary storage unit 3 for storing an accounting program to execute accounting and storing accounting results of the central processing unit 1 in specific file forms, an output unit 4 for displaying processing results of data by the accounting, an activity table 10 providing activity lists corresponding to the activities, a resources table 20 for, when any one of the activity lists is selected, providing a resources list matching the selected activity list, a table matching unit 30 for matching the selected activity list and its pertinent resources list, and an account title providing unit 50 providing a corresponding account title through matching of the table matching unit 30.
