Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for inputting data from receipts, various tickets, and the like using a wireless portable browser terminal such as i-mode.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a user performs a household account book or checkout, the user has to note down the price of a ticket such as a receipt or a movie received at the time of shopping and later write it in the household account book or personal computer. In this way, in order to aggregate the amounts based on receipts and memos, the actual situation was to input the date and other information using a household account book or personal computer software. Or, in actuality, information such as the departure place and the arrival place and the price of the ticket are also recorded in a memo pad or the like, and the total is calculated based on the information.

[0003]

However, inputting such an amount of money is very time-consuming, and in the case of a company employee who frequently travels, etc., a large amount of business time is spent on such an input operation. . On the other hand, wireless portable browser terminals such as i-mode have become widespread, and the above-mentioned office workers and the like have always been carried. If there is a WEB household account book or a settlement system that can easily input data including the amount of money such as receipts, tickets, and transportation expenses using this wireless portable browser terminal, business efficiency is expected to be improved. An object of the present invention is to provide a system that can easily input the cost described in a receipt, a ticket, or the like using such a mobile phone.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies and have taken the following means.
That is, the amount is converted into a two-dimensional code such as a QR code on a receipt, ticket, or ticket for transportation, and the two-dimensional code is printed on the receipt, ticket, or ticket for transportation. Then, the printed two-dimensional code may be read and analyzed by the input means.

The input means for inputting the data including the amount may be provided in the wireless portable browser terminal. A module including the input means may be provided in the wireless portable browser terminal such as an i-mode, or the module may be connected to the connector using a cartridge system. Alternatively, the connection may be established via such a method.

[0006] A storage means is provided for storing data including the above-mentioned amount from the wireless portable browser terminal in a database. Further, the data including the amount of money may be at least one data selected from the date and time, the location, the breakdown of the amount of money, and the purchase content in addition to the amount of money.

The wireless portable browser terminal may have a terminal ID, specify an individual using the terminal ID, and write the individual in a personal database by wireless communication means. This database is installed in a site on a network to which the above-mentioned wireless portable browser terminal can be connected. According to the data of this personal database, at least one selected from a household account book, an expense statement, a travel expense report, and a tax statement.
What is necessary is just to provide the production | generation means which produces | generates two data.

The input means may be a compact input module if it is at least one selected from optical reading, laser beam reading, and infrared reading by a CCD camera or a MOS camera.

The two-dimensional code is a QR code, Max
It may be at least one selected from i-code, Veri code, Carla code, DaTa code, Cyber code, and interta code.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in more detail with reference to actual examples. FIG. 1 shows the overall system of the present invention. 11 is a transportation ticket, 12 is a price,
The date and time, transportation name, departure station, and amount are converted into two-dimensional codes (QR codes) and printed. The image processing analysis module 13 includes a CCD camera and an image processing analysis processing board, and is built in the wireless portable browser terminal 14.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the printed two-dimensional code (QR code) 12. The QR code is composed of bright (white) or dark (black) cells arranged in two vertical and horizontal directions. This QR code has three positioning symbols 2
01, 202, and 203. When optically reading a QR code, first, these three positioning symbols are detected. The positioning symbol is a pattern in which the ratio of light and dark has a specific ratio regardless of the scanning direction. Therefore, if this specific ratio is detected, the positioning symbol can be detected. The QR code is used for positioning symbols 201, 202, and 203.
Since timing cells 204 and 205 in which light and dark cells are alternately arranged are provided, the center position of another cell is further determined from the center position of the timing cell and decoded.

In the example shown in FIG.
Although the information amount corresponding to about 00 characters is stored in the two-dimensional code, it is an information amount that cannot be stored by the conventional barcode at all. In the case of a QR code, up to about 3600 characters can be stored, so that one code can record data having a certain amount of information.

The image processing / analysis module 13 is composed of an image pickup section composed of a CCD camera and an image processing / analysis processing board incorporating a decoding process, and reads and analyzes the two-dimensional code 12. Then, the analyzed data may be written to the personal DB 17 in the personal data site 16 through the wireless base station 15. Fig. 3 shows a ballpoint pen and A4 at the ABC store.
This is a receipt at the time of paper purchase, in which date, time, amount, store name, product name, and location data are printed in a two-dimensional code. FIG. 4 shows an example of a movie ticket with a seat designation, which includes date, time, amount, movie theater name, service name,
The location data is printed in a two-dimensional code.

Next, the flow will be described based on the flow. The situation is shown in FIG. First, in step 501, data such as date and time and money location is converted into a two-dimensional code (QR code). Next, in step 502, the converted two-dimensional code is printed on a ticket. Further, in step 503, the user reads the two-dimensional code printed by the image processing / analysis module built in his / her mobile browser terminal 14. In step 504, the data is extracted by decoding. Here, date, time,
Extract data of money, movie theater name, service name, and location. Then, in step 505, the mobile browser terminal is connected to the personal data management site. Here, the individual is identified by the terminal ID. Next, in step 506,
The date of the decoding in the corresponding database of the individual,
Write time, amount, movie theater name, service name, location data.

In step 507, the data may be extracted and converted into a required format such as a household account book, an expense report, or a travel expense report. FIG. 6 shows the result written to the personal database. That is, items of date, time, amount, payee, product name (service name), remarks, and location are written. FIG. 7 shows the result of the personal transportation expense settlement process based on the personal database of FIG. In this embodiment, personal information is stored in the database on the web, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be stored in, for example, a mobile browser terminal.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention, a user can always use a wireless portable browser terminal such as an i-mode or the like as an input terminal to input receipts, tickets, transportation tickets and the like. Predetermined items of contents can be easily input, and various expense calculations and the like become easy.
