[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a household account book creation method that simplifies household account book entry work when a household account book entry is performed by a computer such as a personal computer, and a computer program using the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When entry of a household account book is performed by a computer such as a personal computer, when inputting an item name, a large item name list is selected or input, or a complete item name is input using a kanji input device. The classification attribute is an indispensable item for managing the household in the household account book. In the past, the item name, the amount, and the classification attribute were separately input for each entry.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, in the conventional household account bookkeeping work using a personal computer or the like, when inputting an item name, search for a desired item name from a huge item name list, or use a kanji input device to search for a complete item name. Since it had to be entered, it took a lot of time and effort to keep the household account book, and the work efficiency was poor.
[0004]
Also, in setting the classification attribute, since the classification attribute is separately set for each entry, a lot of time and effort is required for the bookkeeping work of the household account book, and the work efficiency is poor.
[0005]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention aims to simplify a data entry procedure in a household account bookkeeping operation, thereby facilitating the household account bookkeeping operation easily and quickly. It is an object of the present invention to provide a book creation method and a medium recording a computer program for creating a household account book.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In the present invention, by registering in advance the association between the name of a product often purchased at home and the phonetic alphabet, a part of the phonetic input is performed in the household account book creation process in which the bookkeeping data input process is performed using the display device and the input device. Then, the candidate of the product name related to the furigana is displayed as a pull-down menu (product name list) below the input position, and the product name can be selected and input, thereby simplifying the input operation procedure. .
[0007]
Further, the present invention is intended to reduce complicated and time-consuming work when registering a household account book. Specifically, by registering the association between the product name and the classification attribute in advance, the bookkeeping data input processing is performed. In a household account book creation process performed using a display device and an input device, a classification attribute is automatically applied as an item name is input.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of entry data of a household account book. 1 is a product name, 2 is an amount, and 3 is a date. Three pieces of information, such as what the user bought, how much the user bought, and when the user bought it, are basic elements of the bookkeeping data. For the purpose of managing which expenditure item is paid, there is an item of a classification attribute (4 in the figure).
[0009]
FIG. 2 shows a flow of an operation for inputting the items shown in FIG. 1, that is, for registering a household account book, and includes an item name (6 in FIG. 2), an amount (7 in FIG. 2), and a date (5 in FIG. 2). ), The operation of sequentially inputting the classification attribute (8 in FIG. 2) is repeated.
[0010]
In the flow shown in FIG. 2 above, the present invention assists the operation of inputting the product name in step 6 of FIG. 2 and automatically sets the classification attribute of 8 in FIG. 2 from the product name. This is a household account book entry method that eliminates the need to input classification attributes.
[0011]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for assisting the input of the product name. When the household account book is ready for input, it is in an input waiting state as shown by 9 and 10 in FIG. 3 and accepts operations by the input device 11 such as a keyboard and a mouse. When an operation from the input device is received, it is determined in 12 of FIG. 3 whether a character string is input or a selection operation is performed, and if a character string is input, the process proceeds to 13.
[0012]
At 13 in FIG. 3, the database 15 that associates the phonetic character with the product name is searched, and the product name whose input character string matches from the beginning of the phonetic character is extracted, displayed on the display device 14 as a candidate, and again waited for input. Return to the state (9 and 10 in FIG. 3).
[0013]
When a character string is further added by the input device 11, the processes of 12 to 14 are repeated again to further narrow down the product name candidates. On the other hand, when a candidate is selected by the input device 11, the process proceeds from 12 to 16 in FIG. 3, and the product name is determined and set in the product name column 17.
[0014]
As described above, by the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, by inputting a part of the head of the reading of the product name, the product name candidates are displayed, and by selecting from them, the trouble of inputting the product name can be omitted. .
[0015]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of automatically setting the classification attribute of FIG. 2 from the product name so that the operation of inputting the classification attribute becomes unnecessary.
[0016]
Reference numeral 18 in FIG. 4 denotes an input device such as a keyboard and a mouse. In addition to the method shown in the flowchart of FIG. 3, the item name can be inputted by a method of directly inputting a character string or a method of reading data from other software. can do. The input product name is set in the product name column 17.
[0017]
When the product name is set in the product name column 17, in 19 of FIG. 4, the database 20 in which the product name and the classification attribute are associated is searched to determine the classification attribute corresponding to the product name. The determined classification attribute is set in the classification attribute column 21.
[0018]
By the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, the operation procedure shown by 8 in FIG. 2 can be omitted, and the trouble of the bookkeeping operation in the household account book can be reduced.
[0019]
5 to 8 schematically show the operation of the computer program according to the embodiment of the present invention.
[0020]
FIG. 5 shows an input waiting state indicated by 9 and 10 in FIG. In the figure, reference numeral 22 denotes a product name column, and reference numeral 23 denotes a classification column for setting a classification attribute.
[0021]
FIG. 6 shows a state in which a part of the phonetic alphabet is input in the item name column and the corresponding item name candidates are displayed (results of 12, 13, and 14 in FIG. 3). “Mi” is input in the item name column 22, and a candidate for an item name whose furigana starts with “mi” is displayed in the pull-down menu 24.
[0022]
FIG. 7 shows a state in which "ka" is added to the furigana. “Mika” is entered in the item name column 22, and the item name candidates starting with “Mika” are displayed in the pull-down menu 24.
[0023]
FIG. 8 shows a state where “Mikan” is selected from the pull-down menu (results 16 and 17 in FIG. 3). “Mikan” is displayed in the item name column 22. Further, at the same time as the selection of “Mikan”, the processes of 19 to 21 in FIG. 4 are executed, and the classification attribute is applied as shown in the classification column 23 of FIG.
[0024]
