(Embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of an accounting processing system 1000 including an accounting information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The accounting processing system 1000 includes an accounting information processing device 1 and one or more terminal devices 2. Here, for convenience of explanation, the case where there is one terminal device 2 is described as an example, but a plurality of terminal devices 2 may be provided. The accounting information processing apparatus 1 and the terminal apparatus 2 are connected so as to be able to transmit and receive data via a network, a communication line, or the like.

  The accounting information processing apparatus 1 includes an accounting table storage unit 101, an accounting activity statement storage unit 102, a reception unit 103, a voice data storage unit 104, a voice recognition unit 105, a pattern storage unit 106, an analysis unit 107, a determination unit 108, and accounting information. A storage unit 109, a corresponding storage destination storage unit 110, and an output unit 111 are provided.

  The terminal device 2 includes a voice reception unit 201 and a transmission unit 202.

  The accounting table storage unit 101 stores one or more accounting tables. The accounting table is a table for storing accounting information. The accounting table is, for example, a cash book, a profit and loss statement, a balance sheet, a deposit slip, a withdrawal slip, or the like. The table here may be, for example, a table for managing data or the like in a database, or may be a table such as a slip or a book into which data is input. The accounting table may be a table for displaying venue information.

  The accounting information is information related to accounting activities. The accounting information may be considered as information used for accounting. Accounting refers to, for example, recording, calculating, managing, and the like of cash, goods and services, and accounting activity refers to recording, calculating, managing, and the like of such accounting. Accounting activities are usually conducted in units of money. The accounting information is information relating to transactions such as selling and buying. The accounting information is information stored in, for example, a cash register, a profit and loss statement, or a balance sheet. The accounting information may be considered as information stored in a form such as a slip or a book. Accounting information includes, for example, object information indicating the object of accounting, amount information indicating the amount of money, information indicating the classification of the transaction indicated by the accounting information, and information indicating whether the amount information is a deposit or withdrawal Or information having one or more of identification information of a department corresponding to the accounting information (for example, a department that has made a transaction corresponding to the accounting information) and identification information of the business partner. The accounting information is usually information having at least money amount information. The accounting information may further include date information, user identification information, and the like.

  The information indicating the object of accounting is, for example, information indicating money, goods, services, etc., which are the objects of transactions corresponding to the accounting information, and is, for example, identification information indicating money, goods, services, etc.

  The information indicating the classification of the transaction may be considered as information indicating the classification of the contents of the transaction and the classification of the amount information corresponding to the transaction. The transaction classification is, for example, information indicating a classification of a journal entry when a transaction is journalized. The journal entry here may be considered as the accounting information corresponding to the transaction or the journal information of the amount information included in the accounting information. The classification of the transaction is, for example, an account item corresponding to the transaction. The account item is, for example, a item used to represent the nominal amount of money in accounting. Account items may be considered to include counterpart account items. The account item may be a credit account item, a debit account item, or both.

  The accounting table may be prepared for each form. A form is a book or slip. Further, accounting information referred to in a plurality of forms may be stored in one accounting table. A plurality of accounting tables associated with each other like a relational database may be considered as one accounting table or different accounting tables. One accounting table may have two or more different views. The view here is, for example, a table for output (for example, for display) in which one or more pieces of information stored in the accounting table are arranged. Having different views means that, for example, as a view for outputting an accounting table in which account items and amounts are stored in association with each other, a first view that is a table showing a cash register, and a journal And a second view which is a table showing

  The accounting table storage unit 101 is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium. Further, the storage here is a concept including temporary storage and the like. The same applies to the other storage units described below.

  The accounting activity statement storage unit 102 stores one or more accounting activity statements. The accounting activity sentence is a natural language sentence relating to the accounting activity. Natural language is a language that humans use for general communication. In natural language, for example, the meaning of a sentence is determined by the word order or word form. A natural language sentence is a sentence expressed in a natural language. The accounting activity statement is usually text information. The accounting activity sentence is, for example, a sentence dictated by the user regarding the accounting activity, or a sentence obtained by converting voice data corresponding to the statement into text. The accounting activity sentence storage unit 102 may store an accounting activity sentence obtained by converting voice data related to accounting activity into a text using an apparatus other than the accounting information processing apparatus 1.

  The accounting activity sentence is, for example, a sentence having information used for accounting activities. The accounting activity sentence is, for example, a sentence indicating the content and status of the transaction. The accounting activity sentence is, for example, a sentence indicating the contents of deposits and receipts of money, goods, and services. The accounting activity sentence may be information obtained by converting the information described in a form such as a slip or a book or a receipt into a natural language for each transaction, for example.

  The accounting activity sentence is, for example, text information including target information indicating an accounting target and action information that is information indicating an action, and money amount information indicating an amount. The action information will be described later. Further, the accounting activity statement may be text information having one or more of identification information of a department corresponding to the accounting information (for example, a department that has performed a transaction corresponding to the accounting information). The accounting activity statement may further include date information, user identification information, customer identification information, and the like. The language of the accounting activity sentence may be any language, for example, Japanese or English.

  The accounting activity statement is, for example, “Product A was sold to Company B for 20 million yen on February 15, 2013” or “Eraser 525 on February 20, 2013.” “I bought it in a yen” or “I bought a product for 10500 yen”.

  The receiving unit 103 receives one or more audio data from one or more terminal devices 2 and accumulates them in the audio data storage unit 104. The voice data received by the receiving unit 103 is, for example, voice data related to accounting activities. The voice data related to the accounting activity is, for example, voice data indicating one or more accounting activity sentences. The voice data related to the accounting activity is voice data in which the user or the like dictates the information related to the transaction described in a form such as a slip or the receipt in a natural language for each transaction. The voice data related to the accounting activity may be voice data in which one or more accounting activity statements are dictated by the user or the like.

  The voice data received and accumulated by the receiving unit 103 is subjected to voice recognition processing described later by the voice recognition unit 105, for example.

  The audio data received by the receiving unit 103 may be in an analog format or a digital format. The file format of audio data, the encoding format, the compression format, etc. are not limited. The receiving unit 103 may appropriately convert the received audio data into a predesignated format or the like and store the converted data in the audio data storage unit 104. When accumulating audio data, the receiving unit 103 may divide and accumulate the audio data for each sentence. One sentence can be acquired by detecting a silence part (or a part whose level is below a threshold) whose duration is longer than a predetermined time and cutting out the audio data sandwiched between the detected silence parts, for example. It is.

  The receiving unit 103 may receive the identification information of the user who is the transmission source of the audio data, information on the transmission date and time, and the like together with the audio data. The identification information of the transmission source user may be information that can be identified by the transmission source user. For example, the identification information of the transmission source terminal device 2 may be used. The user identification information is, for example, a user name, an account, a login ID, an email address, or the like. For example, the receiving unit 103 stores the received audio data in association with the user identification information, transmission date / time information, and the like in the audio data storage unit 104. The reception date / time information may be acquired from a clock (not shown) or the like and stored in association with the audio data. These date and time information may be used as information indicating the date and time of the accounting information.

  The receiving unit 103 is usually realized by a wireless or wired communication means, but may be realized by a means for receiving a broadcast. The receiving unit 103 may or may not include a communication device.

  The voice data storage unit 104 stores one or more voice data related to accounting activities. Since the voice data related to the accounting activity is the same as described above, the description thereof is omitted. The voice data storage unit 104 stores, for example, one or more voice data related to the accounting activity received by the receiving unit 103. Each audio data corresponds to the date and time information such as the transmission date and time acquired by the receiving unit 103 and the reception date and time received by the receiving unit 103 when receiving each audio data, the user identification information received by the receiving unit 103, etc. It may be stored with an attachment.

  The voice recognition unit 105 recognizes one or more voice data stored in the voice data storage unit 104 and obtains one or more accounting activity sentences. The voice recognition unit 105 accumulates the accounting activity sentence acquired by the voice recognition in the accounting activity sentence storage unit 102. The accounting activity sentences accumulated by the voice recognition unit 105 are used, for example, by the analysis unit 107 for analysis processing described later. The voice recognition unit 105 may store the acquired accounting activity sentence in association with information such as date and time or user identification information associated with the voice data. In addition, since the process which acquires text data by audio | voice recognition from audio | speech data is a well-known technique, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted here.

  The speech recognition unit 105 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the voice recognition unit 105 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The pattern storage unit 106 stores one or more patterns of accounting activity sentences in association with the acquisition rule information. The accounting activity sentence pattern is, for example, information indicating the sentence pattern of the accounting activity sentence. The pattern of the accounting activity sentence may be considered as, for example, a sequence of characters indicating the accounting activity sentence. Further, this pattern may be considered as an appearance pattern of a language surface layer.

  For example, the pattern may be one accounting activity sentence, or may be a regular expression of one or more character strings of text data constituting the accounting activity sentence. A regular expression is, for example, a set of character strings represented by a single character string. The character string here is a concept including one character. The regular expression is, for example, a collection of character strings using special characters representing character attributes, the number of characters, and the like. Character attributes are attributes such as uppercase and lowercase characters, attributes such as Japanese and English, and attributes such as numbers and katakana. Regular expression may be thought of as converting a character string into a so-called wild card. The part of the accounting activity sentence that has been converted into a regular expression is a position corresponding to a character string to be extracted from the accounting activity sentence by the analysis unit 107 described later. For example, it is a position where a character string to be extracted is arranged. The part of the accounting activity sentence that has been converted into a regular expression is, for example, a part corresponding to the above-described target information and monetary information or a part corresponding to action information in the accounting activity sentence. The action information will be described later. Further, the regular expression part may be a part of a date on which a transaction or the like is performed. The pattern is composed of, for example, a variable part such as a regular expression part and a fixed part.

  Note that the fact that one or more patterns of accounting activity statements are stored in association with the acquisition rule information may mean that one or more pieces of information having patterns and acquisition rule information are stored. However, the acquisition rule information may be embedded in the pattern.

  The acquisition rule information is information indicating a rule for acquiring target information, action information, and money amount information from an accounting activity sentence that matches a corresponding pattern. Here, the match may be a complete match or a partial match. Here, the matching is, for example, matching by pattern matching. Here, the match may be a complete match or a partial match. The acquisition rule information may further indicate a rule for acquiring other information such as department identification information corresponding to the accounting information, business partner identification information, and transaction date information. The acquisition rule information is, for example, information specifying a part to be acquired as target information, information specifying a part to be acquired as action information, and a part to be acquired as monetary information in an accounting activity sentence that matches the pattern Information having information to be transmitted. The acquisition rule information further includes one or more of information specifying a part to be acquired as department identification information, information specifying a part to be acquired as business partner identification information, and information specifying a part to be acquired as a date. You may do it.

  For example, assume that there is a pattern A that “(regular expression 1) changes (regular expression 2) from (regular expression 3) to (regular expression 4) (regular expression)”. In this pattern A, a character string corresponding to “(regular expression 1) is acquired as department identification information. A character string corresponding to (regular expression 2) is acquired as target information. Corresponding to (regular expression 3). "Acquire a character string as customer identification information. Acquire a character string corresponding to (regular expression 4) as a monetary amount. Acquire a character string corresponding to (regular expression 5) as action information." Are associated with each other. Here, it is assumed that (regular expression 1) to (regular expression 5) are regular expression character strings.

  The acquisition rule indicated by the acquisition rule information in this case is that the character strings corresponding to (regular expression 1) to (regular expression 5) of the accounting activity sentence determined to match this pattern are respectively the department identification information and the target. It becomes a rule instructing acquisition as information, supplier identification information, amount, and action information.

  For example, if the accounting activity statement storage unit 102 stores, as an accounting activity statement, a statement “the sales department sold product A to company B for 20 million yen”, this accounting activity statement. Is the same as the above pattern A, the analysis unit 107 to be described later uses “Sales Department” as the department identification information, “Product A” as the target information, “Company B” as the supplier information, and “20 million” as the information. The amount information and “sold” are acquired as the action information.

  The acquisition rule information may include a rule for acquiring one piece of information acquired from an accounting activity sentence acquired by the analysis unit 107 described later as information of a plurality of attributes. For example, the acquisition rule information may have a rule of acquiring one amount of information acquired from an accounting activity statement as credit withdrawal information and further obtaining as debit payment information.

  In the above, for the sake of explanation, here, the acquisition rule information is expressed in natural language, but the acquisition rule information is, for example, one or more functions corresponding to these natural languages, method names, It may be configured by a control syntax indicated by “if”, “then”, and the like. Further, the acquisition rule information may be an algorithm for performing determination processing corresponding to these natural languages. The pattern is also expressed in natural language here, but it may be configured by a control code representing a regular expression, a part of speech or the like, a function, or the like. Further, the pattern may be an algorithm for determining whether or not the pattern matches, a process for detecting a portion matching the pattern, and the like.

  The analysis unit 107 analyzes one or more of each accounting activity sentence stored in the accounting activity sentence storage unit 102, and acquires target information, action information, and amount information. The action information is information indicating the action of the accounting activity. The action information is information indicating an action in the transaction. The action information is, for example, information that does not include the object or purpose of the action. The action information is usually a verb or a saun noun. The action information includes, for example, “Bought”, “Sold”, “Purchased”, “Purchase”, “Sales”, and the like.

  The analysis unit 107 is stored in the accounting activity sentence storage unit 102 using, for example, one or more patterns stored in the pattern storage unit 106 and acquisition rule information associated with each pattern. Target information, money amount information, and action information corresponding to one or more accounting activity sentences are acquired.

  For example, the analysis unit 107 performs pattern matching between the accounting activity sentence to be analyzed and one or more patterns stored in the pattern storage unit 106. Then, the analysis unit 107 reads the acquisition rule information associated with the matching pattern from the pattern storage unit 106. And the analysis part 107 acquires object information, action information, and money amount information corresponding to an accounting activity sentence according to the rule which the read acquisition rule information shows. For example, the analysis unit 107 converts the character string of the part corresponding to the regular expression of the pattern matching the accounting activity sentence in the accounting activity sentence according to the rule indicated by the acquisition rule information corresponding to the pattern, Obtained as money amount information, action information and target information, respectively.

The analysis unit 107 may further acquire information other than the target information, action information, and money amount information, for example, date information, department information, and business partner information, according to the acquisition rule information.
Moreover, the analysis part 107 may acquire object information, money amount information, action information, etc. by performing a morphological analysis of an accounting activity sentence instead of performing analysis using a pattern. The case of using this morphological analysis will be described later.

  The determination unit 108 uses the action information acquired by the analysis unit 107 to determine an accumulation destination corresponding to the money amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107.

  Here, the accumulation destination is, for example, a combination of one or more of an attribute as a data accumulation destination and an accounting table as a data accumulation destination. The storage destination is, for example, an attribute in which data is stored, an accounting table in which data is stored, or a combination of an accounting table in which information is stored and an attribute of the accounting table. The attribute in which information is stored may be considered as one field of the accounting table. The storage destination corresponding to the storage destination amount information is, for example, the storage destination of amount information. The storage destination corresponding to the amount information includes, for example, an attribute of the accounting table in which the amount information is stored, an accounting table in which the amount information is stored, an accounting table in which the amount information is stored, and an attribute in the accounting table. It is a combination. The storage destination corresponding to the money amount information may be, for example, the storage destination of the accounting information including the money amount information or the storage destination of individual information constituting the accounting information including the money amount information. The accounting information including the amount information may be only the amount information, or the date acquired from the accounting activity statement that acquired the amount information, the target information, the department information, the information of the business partner, etc. Information including one or more of them and money amount information may be used. Moreover, the information may further include information (for example, an account item) acquired using information acquired from the accounting activity sentence from which the money amount information is acquired.

  Also, determining the storage destination means that when the data of one accounting table can be displayed in multiple views, the portion of this accounting table where the data corresponding to one view is stored is stored in the accounting information. It may be considered to be determined as the storage destination. In this case, the accounting information is accumulated in the determined part of one accounting table, so that the accounting information displayed in one view is changed.

  Note that determining the storage destination means, for example, obtaining information indicating the storage destination. For example, determining the storage destination means obtaining information (for example, an attribute name) indicating an attribute in which data is stored, identification information (for example, a table name) of an accounting table in which data is stored, To obtain a combination of these.

  For example, the determination unit 108 may acquire information indicating whether the amount information is an attribute indicating payment or an attribute indicating withdrawal as information indicating the accumulation destination corresponding to the amount information. When the accumulation destination acquired by the determination unit 1089 is an attribute indicating payment, for example, the amount information is accumulated as an attribute value of an attribute indicating payment of one accounting table, and when the attribute is an attribute indicating withdrawal, Information is accumulated as an attribute value of an attribute indicating withdrawal of one accounting table. The attribute indicating the deposit and withdrawal here may be an attribute of deposit and withdrawal including a debit and credit distinction. For example, the determination unit 108 may acquire information on credit withdrawal and information on credit payment as attributes of the amount information. In addition, the name of the deposit and withdrawal and how to represent it are not questioned. For example, withdrawal may be called expenditure.

  Further, when a plurality of accounting tables are stored in the accounting table storage unit 101, the information indicating the storage location corresponding to the amount information acquired by the determination unit 108 is an accounting table in which the accounting information including the amount information is stored. The information to identify may be sufficient.

  Note that the determination unit 108 may determine a plurality of storage destinations as storage destinations corresponding to one piece of amount information. For example, when the action information is an attribute indicating withdrawal, two accounting tables, an accounting table called a withdrawal slip and an accounting table called a cash accounting book, may be determined as storage destinations. Alternatively, a set of an accounting table called a withdrawal slip and an attribute called its amount, and a set of an accounting table called a cash accounting book and an attribute called “withdrawal” may be acquired. Further, for example, when the action information is an attribute indicating payment, an attribute of credit deposit and an attribute of debit withdrawal of one cash account may be acquired as information indicating a storage destination.

  Note that an account item corresponding to the amount information acquired by the decision analysis unit 107 may be acquired. For example, the determination unit 108 may acquire at least one of a debit account item and a credit account item using the target information and the action information.

  It does not matter how the determination unit 108 determines the accumulation destination corresponding to the money amount information using the action information.

  For example, a plurality of pieces of information having a storage destination and action information associated with each other are stored in advance in the corresponding storage destination storage unit 110 described later, and the determination unit 108 acquires the action information acquired by the analysis unit 107. The storage location associated with the action information that matches may be acquired from the storage unit by searching or the like. Associating the storage destination means, for example, associating information indicating the storage destination.

  For example, when the analysis unit 107 acquires action information related to withdrawal such as “paid” or “buyed”, the action information that matches the acquired action information such as “paid” ”Or“ payment ”or the like, the determination unit 108 stores the corresponding“ payment ”or the like in association with the storage destination information that is the information indicating the attribute relating to the withdrawal. The information indicating the attribute relating to the withdrawal is acquired as information indicating the storage destination corresponding to the amount information.

  Also, for example, when the analysis unit 107 acquires action information related to payment such as “sold” or “received”, the action information that matches the acquired action information such as “sold” ”Or“ sales ”or the like, and is stored in the corresponding storage destination storage unit 110 in association with the storage destination information, which is information indicating an attribute relating to the payment, such as“ sales ”. Information indicating an attribute relating to the money amount information is acquired as information indicating a storage destination corresponding to the money amount information.

  For example, when the analysis unit 107 acquires action information related to withdrawal such as “paid” or “buyed”, the action information that matches the acquired action information such as “paid” When it is stored in the corresponding storage destination storage unit 110 in association with the information of the storage destination, which is information indicating the accounting table in which the accounting information relating to the payment such as “withdrawal table” and “payment slip” is stored, The determination unit 108 acquires information indicating an accounting table in which accounting information relating to withdrawal such as the “withdrawal table” is accumulated as information indicating an accumulation destination corresponding to the amount information.

  Also, for example, when the analysis unit 107 acquires action information related to payment such as “sold” or “received”, the action information that matches the acquired action information such as “sold” When the accounting information relating to the payment, such as “table” or “sales slip”, is stored in the corresponding storage destination storage unit 110 in association with the storage destination information, which is information indicating the accounting table in which the payment is stored. Obtains information indicating an accounting table in which accounting information relating to payment such as this “payment table” is stored as information indicating a storage destination corresponding to the amount information.

  In the above example, the information on the storage location associated with the action information related to the deposit is a combination of the attribute related to the deposit and the information indicating the accounting table in which the accounting information related to the deposit is accumulated. The same applies to the case where the information of the storage destination associated with the action information related to is a combination of an attribute relating to withdrawal and information indicating an accounting table in which accounting information relating to withdrawal is accumulated.

  Instead of associating action information with a storage destination, a group of action information may be associated with each other. For example, the action information acquired from the accounting activity statement can be mainly classified into information relating to payment (for example, received, sold, sold), and information related to withdrawal (for example, bought, purchased). . For this reason, for example, the action information is grouped in advance, and the group of the action information is associated with the storage destination, and the action information acquired by the analysis unit 107 belongs to which group of action information. The storage destination associated with the group that is determined and determined to belong may be detected.

  The accounting information storage unit 109 stores the accounting information in one or more accounting tables stored in the accounting table storage unit 101. The accounting information is information including money amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107 and target information. The accounting information storage unit 109 stores the accounting information so that at least the amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107 is stored in the storage destination determined by the determination unit 108.

  The accounting information accumulated by the accounting information accumulating unit 109 is, for example, the identification information acquired by the analyzing unit 107 and corresponding to the accounting information (for example, the department that performed the transaction corresponding to the accounting information) or the identification information of the business partner Alternatively, it may be information further including one or more of date information, user identification information, and the like. Further, the information may include information indicating the classification of the amount information such as the account item acquired by the determination unit 108 or the like.

  Accumulating money amount information in the storage location determined by the determination unit 108 means, for example, storing money amount information as an attribute value of an attribute that is the storage destination determined by the determination unit 108 or storage determined by the determination unit 108 By accumulating monetary information in the previous accounting table, or by accumulating monetary information as the attribute value of the attribute determined by the determining unit 108 of the one accounting table determined by the determining unit 108 is there. When the determination unit 108 determines the accounting table as an accumulation destination, the attribute in which the amount information or the like in the determined accounting table is accumulated may be designated for each accounting table in advance, or the accumulated attribute May be determined using action information in the same manner as described above.

  For example, when the information indicating the storage destination acquired by the determination unit 108 is identification information (for example, attribute name) of the attribute “payment”, the transaction information storage unit 109 specifies amount information, for example, in advance. Stored as an attribute value of the attribute “payment” of a new record in the same accounting table.

  For example, when the information indicating the storage location acquired by the determination unit 108 is identification information of the accounting table “cash accounting book”, the accounting information storage unit 109 identifies the amount information as “cash accounting book”. It accumulates as an attribute value of a predesignated attribute of a new record in the accounting table associated with the information. If the information indicating the storage location acquired by the determination unit 108 is a combination of the identification information of the accounting table “cash accounting” and the identification information of the attribute “payment”, the accounting information storage unit 109 The money amount information is stored as an attribute value of the attribute “payment” of a new record in the accounting table associated with the identification information “cash book”.

  It does not matter how the storage destination of information other than the money amount information in the accounting information stored by the accounting information storage unit 109 is determined. Of the accounting information stored in the accounting information storage unit 109, information other than the amount information is normally stored as an attribute value of a pre-designated attribute of the same accounting table as the accounting table in which the amount information is stored. You may make it accumulate | store in the designated accounting table. Moreover, the attribute at the time of accumulating each information may be designated beforehand for every accounting table. Further, for example, the attribute for storing each piece of information may be determined by the same process as the process for determining the attribute corresponding to the money amount information.

  When there are a plurality of storage destinations determined by the determination unit 108, the transaction information storage unit 109 may store at least the amount information of the transaction information in a plurality of storage destinations.

  The accounting information storage unit 109 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the accounting information storage unit 109 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The corresponding storage destination storage unit 110 stores a plurality of pieces of information having a storage destination for money amount information and at least one of action information in association with each other. Here, this information is referred to as corresponding storage destination management information.

  The output unit 111 outputs the accounting table stored in the accounting table storage unit 101. For example, the output unit 111 may output only a part of one accounting table, or may output a combination of at least a part of each of a plurality of accounting tables. There is no limitation on the manner in which the output unit 111 outputs the accounting table. The aspect here is, for example, the appearance when the accounting table is displayed, how to arrange the data, and the like. For example, the output unit 111 outputs data for output configured by arranging data constituting the accounting table in a template or the like designated in advance. The output unit 111 may output the data of one accounting table in a plurality of views. A view is an aspect at the time of the display of an accounting table. To output in a plurality of views may be considered to output in a plurality of different appearances. For example, an accounting table in which information about journals is stored may be output in two views, a journal and a cash book. Outputting in a plurality of views may be output in different templates.

  Output here means transmission to an external device, delivery of processing results to other processing devices or other programs, display on a display, projection using a projector, printing to a printer, sound output, recording It is a concept that includes storage in a medium.

  The output unit 111 may be considered as including or not including an output device such as a display or a printer. The output unit 111 can be realized by output device driver software, or output device driver software and an output device.

  The terminal device 2 is, for example, a computer, a mobile phone, a portable information terminal, a multi-function mobile phone such as a so-called smartphone, or a tablet terminal. The terminal device 2 is preferably a terminal capable of voice input.

  The voice reception unit 201 receives voice generated by the user and acquires voice data. The voice received by the voice receiving unit 201 is, for example, a voice constituting a natural language sentence related to accounting activities. The voice received by the voice receiving unit 201 is, for example, a voice corresponding to an accounting activity sentence. The voice received by the voice receiving unit 201 is a voice in which a user has naturalized a form such as a slip or a book, or a receipt. The voice reception unit 201 may temporarily store the received voice in, for example, a storage medium (not shown). The audio data acquired by the audio reception unit 201 may be analog data, or digital data obtained by converting the received audio into digital data.

  The voice reception unit 201 may or may not include an input device for receiving voice input such as a microphone. The voice receiving unit 201 may include a CPU, a memory, and the like for converting input voice data into digital data. The voice reception unit 201 can be realized by an input device driver, a combination of an input device and an input device driver, or the like. The voice receiving unit 201 may include a CPU, a memory, and the like for converting input voice data into digital data.

  The transmission unit 202 transmits the audio data acquired by the audio reception unit 201 to the accounting information processing apparatus 1 via a communication line, a network, or the like. The transmission unit 202 may acquire information on the date and time of transmission from statistics or the like (not shown) and transmit the information together with audio data. Moreover, the transmission part 202 may transmit the user's identification information etc. which were input via the reception part etc. which are not illustrated by the user with audio | voice data. The user identification information may be transmitted to the accounting information processing apparatus 1 at the time of login or the like before transmitting the voice data. The transmission unit 202 can be realized by communication means, a driver thereof, and the like.

  Note that when an instruction receiving unit or the like (not shown) receives an instruction to output the accounting table from the user, the terminal device 2 may transmit an accounting table output instruction to the accounting information processing apparatus 1. Further, the instruction to be output may have information for designating a mode for outputting the accounting table.

  Next, an example of the operation of the accounting information processing apparatus 1 will be described using the flowchart of FIG. Here, for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the audio data received by the receiving unit 103 at a time is audio data corresponding to one sentence.

  (Step S <b> 101) The receiving unit 103 determines whether audio data has been received from the terminal device 2. If received, the process proceeds to step S102. If not received, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S102) The receiving unit 103 accumulates the audio data received in step S101 in the audio data storage unit 104. The accumulation here may be considered as temporary storage.

  (Step S103) The voice recognition unit 105 performs voice recognition on the voice data stored in the voice data storage unit 104, and acquires an accounting activity sentence. Here, for example, speech recognition is performed on the speech data received in step S102.

  (Step S <b> 104) The speech recognition unit 105 accumulates the accounting activity sentence acquired in Step S <b> 103 in the accounting activity sentence storage unit 102.

  (Step S105) The analysis unit 107 substitutes 1 for the value of the counter m.

  (Step S106) The analysis unit 107 determines whether or not the first pattern is stored in the pattern storage unit 106. If stored, the process proceeds to step S107, and if not stored, the process proceeds to step S113.

  (Step S107) The analysis unit 107 reads the mth pattern from the pattern storage unit.

  (Step S108) The analysis unit 107 determines whether or not the accounting activity sentence acquired in step S104 and stored in the accounting activity sentence storage unit 102 matches the mth pattern. If they match, the process proceeds to step S109. If they do not match, the process proceeds to step S114.

  (Step S <b> 109) The analysis unit 107 reads the acquisition rule information associated with the mth pattern from the pattern storage unit 106.

  (Step S110) The analysis part 107 analyzes the accounting activity sentence acquired by step S104, and acquires object information, action information, and money amount information. Specifically, the analysis unit 107 acquires target information, action information, and money amount information from the accounting activity sentence using the acquisition rule information read in step S109.

  (Step S111) The determination unit 108 determines an accumulation destination corresponding to the amount information using the action information acquired in Step S110. For example, the determination unit 108 acquires a storage destination in which the associated action information among the storage destinations stored in the corresponding storage destination storage unit 110 matches the action information acquired in step S110.

(Step S112)
The accounting information including the amount information and the target information acquired by the analysis unit 107 in step S110 is stored in the accounting table storage unit 101 so that at least the amount information is stored in the storage destination determined by the determination unit 108 in step S111. Accumulate in the accounting table. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S113) The accounting information processing apparatus 1 outputs an error indicating that money amount information cannot be acquired from the accounting activity statement. For example, the accounting information processing apparatus 1 may display an error using a display unit (not shown), or may transmit information indicating the error from a transmission unit (not shown) to a transmission destination designated in advance. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S114) The analysis unit 107 increments the value of the counter m by 1. Then, the process returns to step S106.

  (Step S115) The output unit 111 of the accounting information processing apparatus 1 determines whether it is time to output the accounting table. For example, when the receiving unit 103 or the like receives an instruction to output the accounting table from the terminal device 2 or the like, it is determined that it is the timing to output the accounting table. This instruction may include information for designating the aspect of the accounting table to be output. Further, when new accounting information is accumulated in the accounting table, it is determined that it is time to output the accounting table. If it is time to output, the process proceeds to step S116. If not, the process returns to step S101.

  (Step S116) The output unit 111 outputs an accounting table. For example, the accounting table indicated by the output instruction received in step S115 is output. When information indicating an output mode (for example, information specifying a view at the time of output) is received, the output unit 111 outputs the accounting table in this mode (for example, a specified view). The output unit 111 may output an accounting table in which new accounting information is accumulated. Then, the process returns to step S101.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, for convenience of explanation, the case where the analysis unit 107 analyzes one accounting activity sentence acquired from one piece of speech data by the speech recognition unit 105 has been described. The plurality of accounting activity sentences stored in the accounting activity sentence storage unit 102 may be sequentially processed with analysis. For example, until there is no unprocessed accounting activity statement in the accounting activity statement storage unit 102, after step S112, the process may return to step S105 to sequentially repeat the processing on the unprocessed accounting activity statement. .

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by powering off or a process termination interrupt.

  Next, an example of the operation of the terminal device 2 will be described. For example, when the user reads a sentence related to the accounting activity, the voice receiving unit 201 receives the read voice and acquires voice data. The transmission unit 202 transmits the received voice data to the accounting information processing apparatus 1.

(Specific example 1)
Hereinafter, an example of the specific operation of the accounting processing system 1000 according to the present embodiment will be described. Here, a case where the accounting information is accumulated in a journal accounting table designated in advance by default or the like will be described as an example.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the accounting processing system 1000. Here, it is assumed that the accounting processing system 1000 includes a plurality of terminal devices 2. Here, a plurality of terminal devices 2 are indicated by terminal devices 2a, 2b, 2c and the like. For example, the case where the terminal device 2 is a computer and includes a keyboard and a microphone as input devices will be described as an example here.

  First, it is assumed that the user A of the terminal device 2 a transmits a user ID and a password from the terminal device 2 a to the accounting information processing device 1 and logs in to the accounting information processing device 1. For example, the input of the user ID and password to the terminal device 2a is performed, for example, via a keyboard (not shown). Here, it is assumed that the user ID of the user A is “USER_A”.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a receipt that the user A has. This receipt is assumed to be a receipt received when the user A purchases a boarding ticket.

  Next, in order for the user A to input the receipt information shown in FIG. 4 into the journal entry slip which is a slip for managing the journal entry information, the information shown in the receipt shown in FIG. Suppose you read it out. For example, it is assumed that the user A reads the date of receipt, the purchase object, and the amount of money together with information indicating whether it is an act of depositing or withdrawing, in a natural language. Here, based on the receipt shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that the user A reads out a natural language sentence “A ticket was purchased on February 18, 2013 for 1500 yen” by voice.

  The voice receiving unit 201 receives the voice read out by the user through a microphone or the like (not shown). The voice reception unit 201 encodes the received voice and acquires digital voice data. In addition, the file format etc. of the audio | voice data to acquire are not ask | required. It is assumed that the file name of the audio data acquired here is “V001.mp3”.

  The transmission unit 202 transmits the voice data “V001.mp3” acquired by the voice reception unit 201 to the accounting information processing apparatus 1.

  The receiving unit 103 of the accounting information processing apparatus 1 receives the voice data “V001.mp3” transmitted from the terminal device 2a. Here, the receiving unit 103 receives the voice data transmitted from the user A who is logged in. The receiving unit 103 stores the received voice data “V001.mp3” in the voice data storage unit 104 in association with the user ID “USER_A” of the user A.

  The voice recognition unit 105 reads the voice data “V001.mp3” stored in the voice data storage unit 104, performs voice recognition processing, and converts the voice data into a character string. Since the processing for converting speech data in natural language into a character string by speech recognition processing is a known technique, detailed description thereof is omitted here. Here, it is assumed that the voice recognition unit 105 acquires a character string “Purchase a ticket for 1500 yen on February 18, 2013”. The voice recognition unit 105 stores the acquired character string in the accounting activity statement storage unit 102 as an accounting activity statement in association with the user ID “USER_A”.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an accounting activity statement management table for managing accounting activity statements stored in the accounting activity statement storage unit 102. The accounting activity statement management table has attributes of “accounting activity statement”, “user ID”, and “analysis status”. The “accounting activity statement” is an accounting activity statement. “User ID” is a user ID. “Analysis status” is information indicating whether or not the analysis of the accounting activity statement has been completed, and is information used to prevent the analysis of the accounting activity statement that has been analyzed again. . It is assumed that the attribute value is “1” when the analysis is not finished and the attribute value is “0” when the analysis is finished. With respect to the accounting activity sentence having the attribute value “0”, the analysis unit 107 does not analyze, so that the analysis can be prevented from being repeated.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing pattern management information having a pattern stored in the pattern storage unit 106 and acquisition rule information in association with each other. The pattern management information has attributes of “pattern ID”, “pattern”, and “acquisition rule”. “Pattern ID” is identification information for managing records (rows) of pattern management information. “Pattern” is a pattern. Here, the regular expression portion of the pattern is indicated by a symbol indicating the regular expression. For example, the symbol “. +?” Indicating the regular expression used here is a symbol designating one or more arbitrary characters. In addition, “¥ d +?” Is a character string designating one or more numerals. “Acquisition rule” is acquisition rule information. Here, it is composed of one or more combinations of information specifying a character string that matches the regular expression to be acquired and information indicating the attribute of the acquired character string among the accounting activity sentences that match the pattern. ing. The information that specifies the character string that matches the regular expression is specifically information that specifies the order of appearance of the regular expression included in the corresponding “pattern” from the beginning of the sentence. Here, “$ (order of appearance)” is designated. ". For example, “$ 2” is information that designates, as an acquisition target, a character string that matches the second regular expression from the beginning of the pattern among the accounting activity sentences that match the pattern. The information indicating the attribute here includes, for example, the above-described “target information” indicating the target information, “money information” indicating the amount information, “action information” indicating the action information, and information on the date when the transaction was performed. This is information such as “date information”. For example, the acquisition rule information is represented in a format in which one or more “$ (appearance order) :( attribute name)” is connected by “;”. For example, it is assumed that “$ 3: amount information” is acquisition rule information indicating that a character string that matches the third regular expression from the beginning of an accounting activity statement that matches the pattern is acquired as amount information.

  The analysis unit 107 reads out an accounting activity statement that has not been analyzed from the accounting activity statement storage unit 102. Specifically, the accounting activity statement of the record whose “accounting status” value is “1” is read from the accounting activity statement management table shown in FIG. Here, the accounting activity sentence accumulated by the voice recognition unit 105 in association with the user ID “USER_A”, that is, the “accounting activity sentence” of the record in the first row of FIG. 5 is read out.

  Next, the analysis unit 107 reads “. +? In ¥ d circle to. +?. + ?.”, which is the “pattern” of the record in the first row, from the pattern management information shown in FIG. Then, pattern matching is performed with the character string “Purchase ticket for 1500 yen on February 18, 2013” which is the accounting activity sentence read out above. Here, since an arbitrary number does not appear after “ni” after an arbitrary character string of the accounting activity sentence, it is determined that the pattern on the first line does not match, that is, the pattern does not match.

  Next, the analysis unit 107 reads “. +? To. +? In \ d +? Yen. +?” From the second line of the pattern management information shown in FIG. Similarly, pattern matching is performed. Here, “ni” appears after an arbitrary character string at the head of the accounting activity sentence “Purchase a ticket for 1500 yen on February 18, 2013.” Then, “ ", Then," A circle "appears after an arbitrary number string, and further, an arbitrary character string appears, and then". (Punctuation mark) "appears. Therefore, it is determined that the pattern matches the pattern on the second line. The For this reason, the analysis unit 107 determines that the patterns in the second row match. If the patterns on the second line do not match, pattern matching is performed on the patterns on and after the third line until another matching pattern is detected. Note that pattern matching processing using regular expressions or the like is a known technique, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  Here, since it is determined that the patterns on the second line match, the analysis unit 107 obtains “$ 1: date information; $ 2: target information; $ 3” that is acquisition rule information associated with the pattern on the second line. : Amount information; $ 4: Action information ”. And according to this acquisition rule information, the analysis part 107 acquires the character string corresponding to the attribute name which acquisition rule information has from an accounting activity sentence. Using the read acquisition rule information, the analysis unit 107 converts the character string “February 18, 2013” of the portion corresponding to the first regular expression of the pattern in the second line of the above accounting activity sentence into date information. Get as. Similarly, the analysis unit 107 uses the character string “passage ticket” corresponding to the second regular expression as target information, the character string “1500” corresponding to the third regular expression as monetary information, The character string “purchased” corresponding to the regular expression is acquired as action information. The acquired character string is stored in a storage medium or the like (not shown) in association with information indicating the attribute.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing account item management information for managing account items and at least one of target information and action information in association with each other. Here, it is assumed that the account item is one of the accumulation destinations corresponding to the above-described amount information. This account item management information is stored in the corresponding accumulation destination storage unit 110. Corresponding storage location management information has attributes of “account item”, “target information”, and “action information”. Here, it is assumed that the “account item” is a credit account item corresponding to the amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107. “Target information” is target information, and “action information” is action information. In the target information and the action information, the blank of the attribute value, that is, the Null value is assumed here to be a value indicating all the attribute values.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing correspondence accumulation destination management information for managing the deposit / withdrawal information, which is information indicating whether the money amount information is deposit or withdrawal, and the action information in association with each other. Here, it is assumed that the deposit / withdrawal information is information indicating the storage destination corresponding to the above-described amount information, specifically, the attribute of the amount information storage destination. The correspondence accumulation destination management information is stored in the correspondence accumulation destination storage unit 110. The corresponding storage destination management information has attributes of “deposit / withdrawal” and “action information”. “Deposit / withdrawal” is the deposit / withdrawal information, and “Credit: Deposit” is the “credit” of the accounting information specified in advance by the analysis unit 107 (assuming this is a journal accounting table). This indicates that the attribute is stored as an attribute value of the attribute “payment”. “Credit: Withdrawal” is information in which the amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107 is accumulated as an attribute value of the attribute “withdrawal” among the attributes “credit” in the accounting table designated in advance. It shows that. Note that deposits and withdrawals by creditor may be considered as withdrawals and deposits by debit. “Action information” is the same as in FIG.

  The determination unit 108 uses the “ticket” that is the “target information” acquired by the analysis unit 107 and “purchased” that is the “action information” to calculate the account from the account item management information illustrated in FIG. 7. Get a course. Further, the determination unit 108 acquires the deposit / withdrawal information from the deposit / withdrawal management information illustrated in FIG. 8 by using “purchased” which is the “action information” acquired by the analysis unit 107.

  Specifically, in the account item management information shown in FIG. 7, the determination unit 108 matches the value of “target information” with “ticket” and the value of “action information” with “purchased”. Detect records (rows) by searching. In the search, the blanks of “target information” and “action information” in the account item management information are treated as matching with all values here.

  Here, one of the records whose “Account” is “Transportation expense” has “Ticket” as the attribute value of “Target information” and “Purchased” as the attribute value of “Action information”. Since these values match the values of the target information and the action information acquired by the analysis unit 107, the determination unit 108 sets one of the storage destinations corresponding to the amount information “1500” acquired by the analysis unit 107. Acquire the account item "transportation expenses"

  Further, the determination unit 108 detects a record (row) in which the value of “action information” matches “purchased” in the deposit / withdrawal management information shown in FIG.

  Here, since there is one record in which the value of “action information” is “purchased” in the record in which “withdrawal / withdrawal” is “withdrawal”, the determination unit 108 includes the analysis unit 107. The deposit / withdrawal information “Credit: Withdrawal” is acquired as the information of the storage destination corresponding to the amount information “1500” acquired.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a journal accounting table that is a accounting table in which journal slip data stored in the accounting table storage unit 101 is stored. This journal accounting table is a journal accounting table associated with the user ID “USER_A”. The journal accounting table has attributes of “date”, “debit”, and “credit”. Further, “debit” has attributes of “account item”, “deposit”, and “withdrawal”. “Credit” has attributes of “account item”, “deposit”, “withdrawal”, and “subject”. “Date” is date information indicating the date on which the transaction was performed. “Credit” and “debit” are attributes indicating credit and debit in the journal. “Account”, “Payment”, and “Payment” indicate the account item in the journal, the deposit amount, and the withdrawal amount. The “target” is target information acquired by the analysis unit 107. Here, it is assumed that the journal slip data is already stored.

  The accounting information accumulating unit 109 accumulates the accounting information including the amount information “1500” acquired by the analyzing unit 107 and the target information “ticket” in the journal accounting table shown in FIG. 9.

  Specifically, the accounting information accumulating unit 109 adds a new record (row) to the journal accounting table, and according to the information “credit: withdrawal” that is the deposit / withdrawal information acquired by the determining unit 108, “1500” is stored in the journal accounting table shown in FIG. 9 as the attribute value of the attribute “withdrawal” belonging to the attribute “credit”.

  In addition, the transaction information storage unit 109 inserts the target information “ticket” acquired by the analysis unit 107 as the “target” value of “credit”.

  Further, “transportation expense” which is the account item acquired by the determination unit 108 is inserted as the value of “account item” of “credit” of this record.

  Further, the accounting information storage unit 109 inserts “cash” which is a default value as the value of “account item” of “debit”, and the deposit / withdrawal information acquired by the analysis unit 107 is “credit: withdrawal”. Therefore, the amount information “1500” is inserted as the attribute value of “deposit” of “debit”. Further, the accounting information storage unit 109 inserts the date information “February 18, 2013” acquired by the analysis unit 107 as the value of “date”. Here, if the deposit / withdrawal information is “credit: withdrawal”, it is specified in advance that the amount information is also stored as an attribute value of the “deposit” attribute “deposit”. However, as deposit / withdrawal information corresponding to the action information “purchased”, in addition to deposit / withdrawal information “credit: withdrawal”, the deposit / withdrawal information “debit: deposit” is also associated and accumulated. By accumulating in the destination management information, the determination unit 108 further acquires the deposit / withdrawal information “debit: deposit”, and the accounting information accumulation unit 109 follows the deposit / withdrawal information “debit: deposit”. The amount information “1500” may be inserted as an attribute value of “deposit” of “debit”.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a journal accounting table to which records are added.

  When the value of the deposit / withdrawal information acquired by the analysis unit 107 is “credit: deposit”, the amount information is inserted as the “deposit” value of “credit”, and “withdrawal” of “debit”. Inserted as the value of.

  Note that the accounting information storage unit 109 stores the information acquired by the analysis unit 107 and the determination unit 108 other than the storage destination determined by the determination unit 108 in the accounting table, for example, the target acquired by the analysis unit 107 A rule or the like indicating what attribute information is associated with may be set in the transaction information storage unit 109 in advance, for example. Moreover, you may make it the acquisition rule information further have the information etc. which show this rule. The rules for accumulating in the accounting table are, for example, the attributes for accumulating the amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107 in the accounting table when the deposit / withdrawal information acquired by the determining unit 108 is a withdrawal as described above. Is designated as “withdrawal” of “creditor”. This rule may be composed of, for example, one or more functions, a method name, a control syntax indicated by “if”, “then”, and the like. Further, this rule may be an algorithm for performing determination processing or the like.

  Note that the acquisition rule information may include information (for example, an attribute name) that specifies an attribute for accumulating information acquired from the accounting activity statement in the accounting table. For example, the acquisition rule information indicating the rule for acquiring the target information from the accounting activity sentence may further include information of the attribute name “explanation” indicating the storage destination of the acquired target information. In this case, for example, when the analysis unit 107 acquires the target information according to the acquisition rule information, the attribute name “summary” is further acquired, and the transaction information storage unit 109 acquires the target information acquired by the analysis unit 107. What is necessary is just to accumulate | store as data of the attribute of "summary" which the analysis part 107 acquired.

  Here, for example, if the user A gives an instruction to output a journal to a reception unit (not shown) of the terminal device 2a in order to confirm the input information, the transmission unit 202 of the terminal device 2a Along with the user ID “USER_A” of A, an instruction to output the journal is transmitted to the accounting information processing apparatus 1. For example, when the receiving unit 103 of the accounting information processing apparatus 1 receives an instruction to output a journal and a user ID, the output unit 111 reads a template of the journal from a template storage unit or the like (not shown). Then, the output unit 111 reads the value of the attribute specified by the read template from the journal accounting table corresponding to the user ID “USER_A” (that is, the journal accounting table shown in FIG. 10). Here, for example, when the data associated with the latest date is read and designated for use by default, the output unit 111 records that “date” is “February 18, 2013”. The information specified in the template is read out, the read information is arranged in the template, and, for example, a journal image is constructed and transmitted to the terminal device 2a. A receiving unit (not shown) of the terminal device 2 a receives the journal image, and a display unit (not shown) of the terminal device 2 a displays the received journal image on the monitor 210.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a display example of a journal book by the terminal device 2a.

  Further, if the user A gives an instruction to output the cash book to the terminal device 2a, the same processing as in the above journal book is performed. However, here, using a cash book template (not shown), data corresponding to this template is read from the journal accounting table, arranged in this template, and output from the accounting information processing apparatus 1. .

  FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a display example of a cash book by the terminal device 2a. In FIG. 12, a field 121 indicates a debit account item. “Balance” indicates the balance of the record up to immediately before the displayed record, and here, the deposit of the credit item is a positive amount.

(Specific example 2)
In the above specific example, the journal accounting table attribute is determined as the accumulation destination corresponding to the amount information. However, in the present embodiment, the amount information is included as the accumulation destination corresponding to the amount information. An accounting table in which accounting information is stored may be determined. Specific examples will be described below.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating the corresponding storage destination management information stored in the corresponding storage destination storage unit 110. Corresponding storage destination management information includes “accounting table ID” and “action information”. “Accounting table ID” is identification information of an accounting table in which accounting information is stored. “Action information” is the same as in FIG.

  FIG. 14 is table attribute management information for managing the amount information acquired by the analysis unit 107 for each accounting table and the attribute that is the storage destination of the target information. The table attribute management information is stored in the corresponding accumulation destination storage unit 110. The table attribute management information has items of “accounting table ID”, “accumulation target”, and “attribute”. “Accounting table ID” is the same as in FIG. “Accumulation target” is information for specifying information constituting accounting information to be accumulated. For example, the name of information acquired by the analysis unit 107 such as “money amount information”, “target information”, and date information ” It is. “Attribute” indicates an “attribute” in which information indicated by “accumulation target” is accumulated.

  For example, in the accounting table storage unit 101, an accounting table relating to withdrawal with an accounting table ID “payment slip” and an accounting table relating to receipt with an accounting table ID “payment slip” are accumulated. . Then, the analysis unit 107 obtains date information “February 18, 2013”, target information “ticket”, amount information “1500”, and action information “purchased” from one accounting activity statement. Assume that each is acquired.

  The determination unit 108 searches the correspondence storage location management information illustrated in FIG. 13 for a record in which the value of “action information” matches the action information “purchased” acquired by the analysis unit 107, and the “accounting” of the detected record The “withdrawal slip” that is the value of “table ID” is acquired.

  Next, the determination unit 108 searches the table attribute management information shown in FIG. 14 for a record whose “Accounting Table ID” value matches “withdrawal slip”, and from the detected record, sets the “accumulation target”. A record whose value matches “date information” that is one of the names of information acquired by the analysis unit 107 is searched, and the value “date” of the “attribute” of the detected record is acquired. Then, the value “February 18, 2013” acquired by the analysis unit 107 as date information is used by the accounting information storage unit 109 as an attribute of “date” in the accounting table whose accounting table ID is “withdrawal slip”. Store as attribute value.

  In addition, the determination unit 108 selects the “target” in which the value of “accumulation target” is one of the names of information acquired by the analysis unit 107 from the record in which the value of “accounting table ID” matches “withdrawal slip”. The record that matches the “information” is searched, and the “attribute” value “use” of the detected record is acquired. Then, the value “passage ticket” acquired as the target information by the analysis unit 107 is accumulated as an attribute value of the attribute “use” of the accounting table whose accounting table ID is “withdrawal slip”.

  In addition, the determination unit 108 determines that the value of “accumulation target” is one of the names of information acquired by the analysis unit 107 from the record in which the value of “accounting table ID” matches “withdrawal slip”. The record that matches the “information” is searched, and the “attribute” value “price” of the detected record is acquired. Then, the value “1500” acquired by the analysis unit 107 as the amount information is accumulated as an attribute value of the attribute “amount” of the accounting table whose accounting table ID is “withdrawal slip”.

  As for action information, since there is no matching value in the “target information” of the table attribute management information, a value corresponding to this action information is not accumulated.

  Thereby, accounting information can be accumulated in the accounting table determined according to the action information.

  Note that the storage destination of information other than the amount information in the specific example 1 may be determined using table attribute management information as shown in FIG.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, using the action information acquired from the accounting activity statement, the storage location corresponding to the amount information is automatically determined, and the amount information acquired from the accounting activity statement and the target information are obtained. Because accounting information can be stored in the accounting table so that at least this amount information is stored in the storage location determined using the action information, information used for accounting can be easily and accurately Can be entered.

(Modification)
In the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which the analysis unit 107 acquires either target information or action information and money amount information by pattern matching using a pattern stored in the pattern storage unit 106. . However, in the present invention, the analysis unit 107 may acquire either the target information or the action information and the money amount information by using morphological analysis.

  For example, the analysis unit 107 performs morphological analysis on the accounting activity sentence, and acquires either the target information or the action information and the amount information using the analysis result. For example, the analysis unit 107 acquires either target information or action information and money amount information according to the appearance pattern of the morpheme obtained by the morpheme analysis. A morpheme is, for example, the smallest meaningful language unit. Since morphological analysis is a known technique, detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  The morpheme appearance pattern is, for example, a morpheme appearance pattern in an accounting activity sentence. The appearance pattern of the morpheme is indicated by one or more combinations of the type of morpheme appearing in the accounting activity sentence, the number of appearances, the position where it appears, and the arrangement. A morpheme type is, for example, a morpheme part of speech. That is, the appearance pattern of a morpheme may be considered as an appearance pattern of a specific part of speech. The appearance pattern of the morpheme is, for example, a pattern including information specifying the part of speech. The appearance pattern of the morpheme may be, for example, one or more parts of speech that appear in the accounting activity sentence, and indicates the number of appearances of each part of speech, the arrangement of two or more parts of speech, the order of appearance, and the positional relationship. It may be information.

  For example, the analysis unit 107 may acquire a specific part-of-speech morpheme that appears in an accounting activity sentence as target information by using a result of morphological analysis for the accounting activity sentence, or use a specific part-of-speech morpheme as action information. You may acquire as money amount information. For example, the analysis unit 107 may acquire a common noun as target information, a number as monetary amount information, and a verb or sa-changing noun as action information, among morphemes constituting an accounting activity sentence. Numerals are words that represent numbers. For example, the analysis unit 107 performs a morphological analysis on an accounting activity sentence “product was sold for 5200 yen”, and “5200”, which is a common noun contained in this accounting activity statement, is the target information. "As money information and the verb" sold "as action information. Or you may make it specify and acquire the morpheme used as acquisition object by the pattern of the arrangement | sequence of several parts of speech like the case where the common noun before a particle is acquired as object information.

  Note that the analysis unit 107 may acquire target information, action information, and monetary information according to the appearance pattern of a combination of a morpheme part of speech and a character string that represents the surface layer of the morpheme. For example, a common noun that is located immediately before the morpheme of the letter “wo” whose part of speech is a particle may be acquired as target information.

  Note that the analysis unit 107 also uses morphological analysis to acquire information that can be used for slips that can be acquired from accounting activity statements, such as date information, department information, and business partner information. May be. For example, the analysis unit 107 may acquire, as date information, an array of a number, a character “year”, a character “numerical”, a character “month”, a character “numerical”, and a date “day”. good.

  The part of speech here is preferably a part of speech that can be detected by morphological analysis. The part of speech here may be hierarchized.

  Note that the rule information that specifies how to acquire target information or action information and monetary amount information from what morpheme appearance pattern is, for example, the pattern storage unit 106 described above, You may make it accumulate | store beforehand in the storage medium etc. which are not shown in figure. Alternatively, the rule information may be composed of one or more functions, a method name, a control syntax indicated by “if”, “then”, and the like. Further, the rule information may be an algorithm for performing a similar determination process or the like. The same applies to information that can be used for slips such as date information and department information other than target information, action information, and money amount information.

  As morphological analysis, for example, “Mecab (Japanese cloth candy)” (http://mecab.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mecab/doc/index.html) or “ChaSen (tea bowl)” (http: //Chasen-legacy.sourceforge.jp/), "JUMAN" (http://nlp.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/index.php?cmd=read&page=JUMAN&alias%5B%5D=%E6 % 97% A5% E6% 9C% AC% E8% AA% 9E% E5% BD% A2% E6% 85% 8B% E7% B4% A0% E8% A7% A3% E6% 9E% 90% E3% 82 % B7% E3% 82% B9% E3% 83% 86% E3% 83% A0JUM N) morphological analysis system such as is available.

  The analysis unit 107 detects a pattern that matches the accounting activity sentence from the patterns stored in the pattern storage unit 106, and performs accounting activity according to a rule for acquiring a morpheme associated with the pattern. Either the target information or the action information and the amount information may be acquired from the morphological analysis result of the sentence. In this case, a rule for acquiring a morpheme may be prepared in advance for each pattern stored in the pattern storage unit 106, for example.
