Then, when the right button is pressed in this state, the data of the daily list of "July 29", which is the day following the displayed date, is displayed. By pressing the button on the right further, the data of the daily list of "July 30th" is displayed. By pressing the predetermined arrow button, the daily list of the previous day or the next day can be displayed. Is displayed. Since the data such as the previous day is not stored in the memory of the mobile phone 1, the data request command is transmitted to the web server device 15 which is the center device, and the data is acquired from the web server device 15. Although the above description has been made with the left and right buttons, the same operation may be performed with the upper and lower buttons.

When "Expense entry" is selected from the main menu, the screen shown in FIG. Figure 4
An example of the expense input screen is shown. In FIG. 4, “date data” is based on the data of the clock function inside the mobile phone.
It is automatically displayed in the field 21. Column names of “amount”, “expense item”, “receipt” and “remark” are displayed, and the user inputs data into the input fields 22, 23, 24 and 25 corresponding to the respective columns.

To input the "amount" data, move the cursor to the input field 22 in the "amount" column and input the data, for example "250", by using the numeric keys.

To input the "expense item" data, move the cursor to the input field 23 of the "expense item" column, and in that state,
By pressing the left and right arrow keys, the items such as "travel expenses", "consumable expenses", and "book purchase expenses" will be rotated and displayed. Therefore, the user only needs to select the input cost by operating the arrow keys, and does not need to input and convert the kana character of the item name.

Input of "receipt" data is a field for inputting the presence or absence of a receipt, and similarly to "expense", move the cursor to the input field 24 of the "receipt" field and press the left and right arrow keys. By doing so, “present” and “absent” are alternately displayed, and any one of them can be selected and input.

The "remarks" data input is a field for inputting detailed data on the input. When the cursor is moved to the input field 25 in the "Remarks" column and the selection key is pressed in that state, the screen of FIG. 5 is displayed. Figure 5
Shows an example of a screen for inputting detailed data. Items for inputting detailed data corresponding to the designated "expense item" are displayed on the screen of FIG. Here, "Vehicle", "Departure", "Transit", "Destination" and "Business"
Field names and their respective input fields 31, 32, 3
3, 34, and 35 are displayed, the cursor is moved to each input field, and the character input key 5 is used to input the text data. When the screen input of FIG. 5 is completed, the cursor is moved to the “input” button 36 at the bottom of the screen and the selection key 4 is pressed to complete the input of FIG. 5 and return to the screen of FIG. When the cursor is moved to the "cancel" button 37 at the bottom of the screen and the selection button 4 is pressed, the screen of FIG. 4 is returned without inputting the data of FIG.

FIG. 6 shows another example of a screen for inputting detailed data. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the structure of detailed data. 6 is different from FIG. 5 in that
The point is that the "route name" and the "station name" are entered for each of the "departure point", "route" and "destination". The same parts as those in FIG. 5 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. The user first inputs the item data “vehicle” by moving the cursor to the input field 41. At this time, in the “expense item” of FIG. 4, in the same way as the display is changed while rotating the predetermined content, by pressing a predetermined arrow button, “train”, “bus”, “taxi” The display such as “” may be automatically displayed so that the data of “vehicle” can be selected and input.

Next, the cursor is moved to the "departure point" input field 42 to input data. Similarly, the data of “route” and “destination” are also input.

The cursor is moved to the input fields 42, 4
After moving to 4 or 46, when the up and down arrow buttons 3 are pressed, the data may be input such that the display of the "route name" is automatically changed one by one each time the button is pressed. Then, when the left and right arrow buttons 3 are pressed while the "route name" is displayed, the "station name" is automatically displayed each time the button is pressed.
The display may change one by one and the data of "station name" may be input.

This is realized by storing line and station name data as shown in FIG. 7 in the internal memory of the mobile phone 1. That is, when the business data input program is downloaded from the web server device 15, the "route name" and the "station name" are downloaded according to the downloaded program.
It is checked whether or not there is a memory area for storing the data in the mobile phone 1. As a result of the check, if there is a memory area for storing the data of “route name” and “station name”, the data of the route and station name is downloaded from the web server device 15. Then, when the cursor is moved and "route name" is selected on the display screen of FIG. 6, the data is in the range of data 51 to m in FIG. The pointer moves in the direction of and the data specified by the pointer is read and displayed. When the cursor is further moved and “Station name” is selected, the range of data 51-1 to 51-n in FIG. 7 is changed to the displayed “route name” according to the pressing of the arrow button 3. Correspondingly, the pointer moves in the direction of arrow B, and the data designated by the pointer is read and displayed. In this way, the data of the "route name" and the "station name" are associated and stored in the memory, and the data are automatically displayed according to the screen operation of the user.

The amount of data downloaded in FIG. 7 is determined according to the usable amount of the checked memory area of the mobile phone. Then, the priority order of the downloaded data is predetermined in the web server device 15. For example, the priority is determined according to the frequency of use by employees, and even if the memory area is small, frequently used route data or the like is downloaded. Furthermore, when a removable storage medium such as a memory stick or a memory card is attached to a mobile terminal device such as a mobile phone, route data or the like may be stored in the storage medium.
Then, when the screen shown in FIG. 5 or the like is input, the storage medium can be attached as necessary to use the stored data as auxiliary data for data input.

Now, returning from the screen of FIG. 5 or the screen of FIG. 6 to the screen of FIG. 4, when the input is completed on the screen of FIG. 4, the cursor is moved to the “input” button 26 at the bottom of the screen and the select button is pressed. When 4 is pressed, the input data is transmitted from the mobile phone 1 and is transmitted to the web server device 15 via the Internet 11. The data received by the web server device 15 is stored in a predetermined memory area of the memory device 16,
Stored in association with the expense settlement processing program. The data stored in the memory device 16 of the web server device 15 is transmitted to the mobile phone 1 which has transmitted the data. When the data transmitted from the web server device 15 is received, the display screen of the display 2 of the mobile phone 1 is changed from FIG. 4 to FIG. The data input using the screen of FIG. 4 and stored in the web server device 15 is displayed on the screen of FIG. Therefore, the user can confirm the input data.

When the user makes a mistake in the data input, the user displays the screen shown in FIG. 4 again and corrects the data at the wrong place. Furthermore, if you want to delete all the contents of one item in the daily list of FIG. 3, you can display the screen of FIG. Alternatively, all the items may be deleted.

As described above, the user executes the predetermined program stored in the mobile phone 1 and inputs the data based on the screen generated by the program. When the input of data is completed, the input data is transmitted from the mobile phone 1 to the web server 15. And
The transmitted data is stored in a predetermined memory device,
The stored data is transmitted to the mobile phone 1.
Therefore, the latest input data is displayed on the display unit 2 of the user's mobile phone 1.

Next, the operations of the mobile phone 1 and the web server device 15 relating to the above-mentioned operation will be described with reference to a flowchart.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing when the data input in FIGS. 2 to 6 is transmitted from the mobile phone 1 to the web server device 15.

As described above, when the mobile phone 1 executes the downloaded program, the input process for the user to input data is executed using the screens of FIGS. 2 to 5 or 6 (step ( Hereinafter abbreviated as S)
1). In the input process (S1), the main menu (Fig. 2)
After displaying, the screen display is changed according to the user's key operation, and the user is allowed to input data. In S1 or after S1, it is determined whether or not a data transmission instruction is given (S2). In the example of FIG. 4, it is determined whether “input” on the screen of FIG. 4 has been selected, that is, whether the “input” button 36 has been clicked.
When the transmission instruction is given, YES is obtained in S2, and data transmission is performed (S3).

In S3, connection to a predetermined URL on the Internet and data transmission are performed, and the transmitted data is stored in a predetermined memory area. Here, the data is stored in the database related to the expense settlement system in the web server device 15. U at this time
The RL may be a URL designated at the time of download or a URL set separately. In data transmission, user ID and password authentication data and input data are transmitted. This user ID and password are set when the business data input program is downloaded or separately.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing of the web server device 15 which has received the data transmitted from the mobile phone 1.

The web server device 15 is a mobile phone 1
When the data is received from the device, the authentication process is first performed (S1
1). Based on the authentication data among the transmitted data, that is, the data of the user ID and the password, it is authenticated whether the transmission is from a legitimate user. As a result of the authentication, abnormal processing is executed (not shown) assuming that the user is not authenticated. When the transmitted data is authenticated and it is determined that the data is transmitted from the authorized user, the web server device 15 executes the data processing process (S12). In the data processing, the received data is converted into a format that can be saved. For example, when the data received from the mobile phone 1 is in a format that cannot be processed by the expense settlement program that is the business processing program, the received data is processed. Data format that can be processed by the program,
For example, it is converted into CSV format. When the data processing is completed, the processed data is stored in a predetermined memory area, that is, a memory area related to the business processing program related to the sent data (S13). When this data storage processing is completed, the stored data is read again and transmitted to the mobile phone 1 that has transmitted the data (S14). The data transmitted in S14 is displayed as the latest data in the daily list data of FIG. 3 displayed on the display unit 2 of the mobile phone 1.

In this way, the JAVA (registered trademark) program or the like is downloaded to the mobile phone as the mobile terminal device, and the downloaded business data input program is displayed on the screens of FIGS. 2 to 6 and in FIG. Perform processing. On the other hand, the web server device, which is the center device, transmits the business data input processing program in response to a request from the mobile phone. After that, when there is data transmission from the mobile phone, the center device performs an authentication process, converts and saves the data, and sends the saved data again to the mobile phone.
As a result, the data transmitted from the center device is displayed on the mobile phone, and the user can confirm whether or not the input data is correctly saved. Therefore,
It is not necessary to transmit the input screen in HTML format from the center device and to transmit the screen data according to the input instruction each time, unlike the conventional case. After downloading the program, until the data is input and the data is transmitted. Since it is not necessary to send and receive data between the center device and the mobile phone, the data communication amount is small and the business data can be surely input.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

Since the system configuration and operation are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the same items are designated by the same reference numerals,
The description is omitted, and different contents will be described.

FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing the flow of data input and transmission processing of the mobile phone 1.

S1 is a data input process and has the same contents as S1 of FIG. 8 of the first embodiment. S21 is a judgment block for judging whether or not the data input is completed. In S21, in the example of FIG. 4, the "input" button 2
The end of input is determined depending on whether 6 is pressed. S21
If NO, the process returns to S1. If YES in S21, the process proceeds to S22. In S22, the input data is stored in the memory device in the mobile phone 1. Then, the stored data is transmitted at a predetermined time. The predetermined time is, for example, when the mobile phone is first turned on the next day or when the mobile phone is first used on the next day. In that case, when you first turn on your phone the next day,
Or, when you use it for the first time on the next day, the data that was input and stored on the previous day is automatically sent. Alternatively, it may be automatically transmitted at a preset time every day. Further, the user may be informed on the screen display that there is data stored the day before when used the next day, and may be transmitted according to the user's designation. Data transmission at that time is performed after connecting to a predetermined URL, as in the first embodiment.

FIG. 11 is a flow chart showing the flow of processing of the web server device 15 which receives the data transmitted from the mobile phone 1. FIG. 11 shows the web server device 1.
Upon receiving the data, the device 5 first executes the authentication process (S11) and then the data processing process (S12).
Then, the web server device 15 of the center device executes a data saving process (S13). The processing contents up to this point are the same as those in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, after the data storage processing is completed in S13, the mail transmission processing is executed (S23). In this mail transmission process, the web server device 15 transmits the data transmitted from the mobile phone 1 to a predetermined electronic mail address. The e-mail address is, for example, the user's own e-mail address entered by a mobile phone or a predetermined e-mail address of the accounting department. If the mails are addressed to the users, the user can process the expenses collectively based on the data of the mails later. If the email is to the accounting department,
The person in charge of the accounting department can perform a predetermined process based on the data of the mail.

The mail sending process is performed by sending an electronic mail from the web server device 15 of FIG. 1 to the mail server device 17. Since the electronic mail sends text data, the characters and numbers input by the mobile phone 1 are sent and received as text data.

By transmitting the electronic mail as described above, it is only necessary to transmit the business data from the mobile phone 1 once.
Moreover, the web server device that has received the business data transmits the input data to the e-mail address determined in advance. The business data may be transmitted not only once but also several times a day.

As described above, in the system according to the second embodiment, in addition to the merits produced by the first embodiment, the input data is sent to a predetermined address by electronic mail, so that the business processing can be performed. Can be done quickly and reliably.

Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13.
