The payment processing unit 23 manages the application content for each user as the application content database 50 using the boarding history registered in the usage history database 40.

  Below, the process in the transportation expense totaling system comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method of using a transportation facility using the transportation cost counting system shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining processing from registration of user information to collection of boarding / alighting histories in the transportation cost counting system shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

  First, when using the transportation cost totaling system shown in FIG. 1, the user applies for use by notifying a predetermined matter. As a matter which a user reports, for example, a user's name and affiliation, a user ID, a password, and boarding / alighting conditions can be considered. In addition, the terminal ID recorded in the recording unit 12 of the mobile phone 10 needs to be reported. This terminal ID is transmitted to the information collection / aggregation system 100 together with the boarding / alighting history to identify the mobile phone 10 when the cell phone 10 later transmits the boarding / alighting history to the information collection / aggregation system 100. Any telephone number that can be automatically transmitted from the mobile phone 10 together with the boarding / exiting history may be used. For example, if the telephone number of the mobile phone 10, the user will report the telephone number, and the recording unit 12 records the telephone number. If the obtained terminal ID cannot be recognized by the user, the terminal ID is read by a dedicated reader. In addition, as the entry / exit conditions to be notified, a use section of a transportation facility, a date and time, and the like are set. For example, conditions such as a section and a weekday that are assumed to be used by the user on business during normal work are set. The user information notified in this way is registered in the user information database 30 in association with each user in the user information management unit 21 (step S1).

  When the user who has registered the user information in this manner holds the mobile phone 10 and enters the ticket gate at the station A as shown in FIG. 3, in the ticket gate 1a installed at the ticket gate at the station A, The fact that the ticket gate at station A has been entered, the date of use and the first boarding fare are recorded in the recording unit 12 of the mobile phone 10 (step S2). At this time, the initial fare is subtracted from the amount precharged in the recording unit 12 of the mobile phone 10. This precharge is for the user to record a predetermined amount in the recording unit 12 of the mobile phone 10 in advance, and the amount is precharged by paying the payment to the transportation facility used by the user. Is done.

  After that, when the user gets off the train at station B and holds the mobile phone 10 and exits the ticket gate at station B as shown in FIG. 3, the mobile phone 1b is installed at the ticket gate at station B. The admission record recorded in the recording unit 12 of the telephone 10 is read, the fare from the A station to the B station is calculated, the fact that the ticket gate of the B station has been exited, and the calculated fare is the recording unit 12 of the mobile phone 10. (Step S3). At this time, if the calculated fare exceeds the initial fare recorded in the recording unit 12, the difference is subtracted from the amount precharged in the recording unit 12.

  As a result, in the recording unit 12 of the mobile phone 10, the fact that the user has boarded from the A station to the B station, the use date and the use fare are recorded as a boarding / exiting history.

  In the history transmission unit 13 of the mobile phone 10, the timing for transmitting the boarding / alighting history recorded in the recording unit 12 to the information collection / aggregation system 100 can be set in advance. For example, it is possible to set a timing at which the fact that the ticket gate has been exited is recorded in the recording unit 12, a predetermined time of the day, or the end of the month, and the history transmitting unit 13 determines the determined timing. Then (step S4), the boarding / alighting history recorded in the recording unit 12 is automatically transmitted to the information collection / aggregation system 100 via the communication unit 11a together with the terminal ID recorded in the recording unit 12 (step S5). Such an automatic transmission / reception history is performed according to an application program installed in the mobile phone 10 in advance. For example, start a browser at a predetermined timing, access a predetermined site and send a boarding / exiting history, or start an e-mail software at a predetermined timing and attach the boarding / exiting history to an e-mail It is conceivable that the data is transmitted. In this embodiment, it is assumed that an application program that transmits a boarding / alighting history attached to an e-mail is installed in the mobile phone 10.

  The e-mail transmitted from the mobile phone 10 with the boarding history and terminal ID attached is received by the mail server 80 of the information collection / aggregation system 100 and registered in the usage history database 40. At this time, the use history database 40 registers the boarding / alighting history in the order received by the mail server 80.

  Thereafter, in the usage history management unit 22 of the data management server 20, the boarding / exiting history registered in the usage history database 40 is collected for each terminal ID, and among the user information registered in the user information database 30, the user Thus, the user's boarding / exiting history is tabulated for each user (step S6).

  Next, processing when the user applies for transportation expenses using the boarding / exiting history registered in the usage history database 40 will be described.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining processing when the user applies for transportation expenses using the boarding / exiting history registered in the utilization history database 40 in the transportation expense counting system shown in FIG.

In the usage history information 5, information that does not satisfy the entry / exit conditions registered in the user information database 30 is shaded. For example, the boarding / exiting history 5b that does not satisfy the boarding / exiting condition for the boarding / exiting section is displayed in yellow shaded display, and the boarding / exiting history 5a that does not satisfy the boarding / exiting condition for the boarding / exiting date / time is displayed in red. ing. Whether the boarding / alighting conditions are satisfied is determined by referring to the boarding / alighting conditions registered in the user information database 30 when the usage history management unit 22 aggregates the boarding / alighting history. It is registered in the database 40 together with the boarding / exiting history.

  The user designates a billing target by inputting a check into the check box 6 for the boarding / exiting history to be applied as transportation expenses in the usage history information 5 on the usage history posting screen shown in FIG. 7 (step S20). At this time, since the boarding / exiting history that does not satisfy the boarding / exiting conditions is displayed in a shaded manner, the user can easily specify the boarding / exiting history using the transportation facility for business.

  Then, the total amount of charges based on the entry / exit history in which the check is input is displayed in the check box 6, and then, when the confirmation button 7 is pressed, the information collection / aggregation system 100 accepts the application content (step S 21). In the information collection / aggregation system 100, the payment processing unit 23 registers the application contents in the application information database 50, and then the applied transportation expenses are transferred to the account designated by the user and the transportation expenses are transferred to the company. Will be charged.

  As described above, when a person who uses transportation just holds the mobile phone 10 and enters and exits the ticket gate, the boarding / exiting history is collected by the information collection / counting system 100 and is totaled for each user. It will be.

  In step S20, if the user inputs a check in the check box 7 for the boarding / exiting history that is shaded and presses the confirm button 7, that is, the transportation cost for the use that does not satisfy the boarding / exiting conditions. When requested, it may be possible to notify the administrator of the user ID.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a method of using a transportation facility using the transportation cost counting system shown in FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining processing from registration of user information to collection of boarding / alighting histories in the transportation cost counting system shown in FIG.

  First, when using the transportation cost totaling system shown in FIG. 8, the user applies for the use by notifying a predetermined matter. As a matter which a user reports, for example, a user's name and affiliation, a user ID, a password, and boarding / alighting conditions can be considered. In addition, the terminal ID recorded on the mobile phone 110 must be reported. This terminal ID is transmitted to the information collection / counting system 200 together with the boarding / unloading history to identify the mobile phone 110 when the boarding history is transmitted to the information collection / counting system 200 from the ticket gates 101-1 to 101-n later. Any device can be used as long as it can be automatically read from the mobile phone 110 by the ticket gates 101-1 to 101 -n. If the terminal ID is recorded and the terminal ID recorded on the mobile phone 110 cannot be recognized by the user, the terminal ID is read by a dedicated reader. In addition, as the entry / exit conditions to be notified, a use section of a transportation facility, a date, etc. are set. For example, conditions such as a section and a weekday that are assumed to be used by the user for business during normal work are set. The user information reported in this way is registered in the user information database 130 in association with each user in the user information management unit 121 (step S31).

  When the user who has registered the user information in this manner holds the mobile phone 110 and enters the ticket gate of the A station as shown in FIG. 9, the ticket gate 101-1 installed at the ticket gate of the A station. , The terminal ID recorded in the mobile phone 110 is read, the read terminal ID, the fact that the ticket gate of A station has been entered, the date of use and the first boarding fare are information from the ticket gate 101-1 via the dedicated line 160 b. It is transmitted to the railway server 190-1 of the collection / aggregation system 200 (step S32).

  When the boarding / alighting history and the terminal ID transmitted from the ticket gate 101-1 are received by the railway server 190-1 of the information collection / aggregation system 200, the information is transmitted from the ticket gate 101-1 in the railway server 190-1. The boarding / alighting history is registered in the usage history database 140b-1 in association with the terminal ID transmitted from the ticket gate 101-1 together with the boarding / alighting history (step S33).

  After that, when the user gets off the train at station B and holds the mobile phone 110 and leaves the ticket gate at station B as shown in FIG. 9, the ticket gate 101-2 installed at the ticket gate at station B The terminal ID recorded in the mobile phone 110 is read, the read terminal ID, the fact that it has entered the ticket gate at station B, and the date of use are collected from the ticket gate 101-2 via the dedicated line 160b, and the information collection / aggregation system It is transmitted to 200 railway servers 190-1 (step S34).

  When the boarding / alighting history and the terminal ID transmitted from the ticket gate 101-2 are received by the railway server 190-1 of the information collection / aggregation system 200, they are transmitted from the ticket gate 101-2 at the railway server 190-1. Since the entry / exit history includes the fact that the ticket gate has been entered, the use history database 140b-1 is searched for the entry / exit history including the entry information transmitted with the same terminal ID and entering the ticket gate. Then, based on the retrieved boarding / exiting history, the section used by the user is specified and the fare is calculated. The calculated fare and the boarding / exiting history transmitted from the ticket gate 101-2 are displayed together with the boarding / exiting history. It is registered in the usage history database 140b-1 in association with the terminal ID transmitted from the ticket gate 101-2 (step S35).

  Thereby, the station name, the use date, and the fare that the user entered and exited are registered for each user in the use history database 140b-1.

  In the data management server 120 of the information collection / aggregation system 200, the timing for collecting the boarding / alighting history registered in the usage history databases 140b-1 to 140b-N for each transportation facility is set in advance. For example, a predetermined time of the day or the end of the month is set as the timing, and the data management server 120 uses the usage history databases 140b-1 to 140b for each transportation facility at the determined timing. The railway servers 190-1 to 190-N are notified that the boarding / alighting history registered in -N is collected. The boarding / alighting history registered in the usage history databases 140b-1 to 140b-N is transmitted from the railway servers 190-1 to 190-N to the data management server 120 via the communication line 160a. In the management unit 122, the boarding / alighting histories collected from the usage history databases 140b-1 to 140b-N for each transportation facility are collected for each terminal ID, and the usage information among the user information registered in the user information database 130 is used. Thus, the user's name and the like are given, so that the user's boarding / exiting history is tabulated for each user (step S36).

  In this way, a person who uses transportation simply has the mobile phone 110 in which the terminal ID is recorded so as to be readable and enters and exits the ticket gate. Collected and aggregated for each user.

  In this embodiment, the process for the user to apply for transportation expenses is accessed using the mobile phone 110 to the Web server 170 of the information collection / aggregation system 200, as in the case of the first embodiment. Or the data management server 120 is accessed using the electronic mail transmitted from the information collection / aggregation system 200, and the same processing is performed. Therefore, also in this embodiment, when a check is input to the check box 7 of the boarding / exiting history shown in FIG. 7 and the confirm button 7 is pressed, that is, use that does not satisfy the boarding / exiting conditions. It may be possible to notify the administrator of the user ID when the transportation fee is charged.

  Further, in this embodiment, the mobile phone 110 is used as the information recording medium, and the terminal ID is described as an example of identification information read from the mobile phone 110 by the ticket gates 101-1 to 101-n. As long as the identification information can be read at -1 to 101-n, an IC card or the like on which a card ID is written may be used.
