  Next, each data used in the portable information terminal 1 and the PC • 2 will be described.

Schedule information (user's action schedule information): For each date and time, items indicating "direct bounce" / "direct line" / "bounce", etc., information on the visited place (company name, address, telephone number, ...), The schedule contents (meetings, visits ...), individual / company flags for identifying whether the schedule is for personal use or for company use (see FIG. 4).
Address information: information of a so-called address book, which includes a name, a company name, an address, a telephone number, etc. (see FIG. 5).
Owner information / user information: personal information of the owner of the mobile phone 1 / user using the PC 2 and includes an employee code, name, address, telephone number, etc. (see FIG. 6). When the user who uses the PC · 2 is one owner of the mobile phone 1, the owner information matches the user information.
Action history log (behavior history information): Consists of date and time and information related to the position of the point where the user has acted, which is associated with this date and time (see FIG. 7).
Of the various types of information described above, items other than the action history log are input in advance.

Map information DB: It consists of so-called map information, and identifies the latitude / longitude of each point and the names and addresses of buildings (including stations, etc.) and roads and railway lines associated with the latitude / longitude. It consists of information (location identification information) (see FIG. 8).
Position information DB: It consists of information associating addresses with latitude and longitude (see FIG. 9).
Fare DB: Consists of fare information for each route of various transportation facilities (see FIG. 10).

  Next, the operation of the account book creation system 4 of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  First, when the user turns on the portable information terminal 1 when going out from home, the timer 1f starts measuring time, and the GPS receiver 1e starts receiving GPS signals from GPS satellites. Then, the processing unit 1a automatically detects a predetermined time interval (for example, every minute, or sudden change in the current position, etc. The current time is acquired (at the timing when this sudden fluctuation or the like is detected) (FIG. 11: Step S01), and data for positioning the current position included in the GPS signal is extracted (FIG. 11: Step S02). The data is additionally recorded and saved in the action history log of the association storage unit 1b at this time together with the time when the GPS signal is received (FIG. 11: Step S03).

The data for measuring the current position may be raw data obtained from a GPS signal. Using this data, the latitude / longitude of the current location is calculated in the portable information terminal 1, and this data Latitude / longitude data may be recorded in the action history log. When raw data is recorded in the action history log, the latitude and longitude are calculated on the PC 2 side using this data.
Moreover, you may enable it to change arbitrarily the timing of the data acquisition recorded on an action history log from the relationship with the memory capacity of the memory | storage part 1b. For example, when the storage capacity of the storage unit 1b is small, recording every 1 minute is performed, for example, every 3 minutes as in the above example, or the timing of limiting the increase rate of the amount of data to be recorded is set.
When a user gets on a subway or the like and cannot receive a GPS signal, the base station location information notified when the mobile information terminal registers the location with the base station replaces the data for positioning the current location contained in the GPS signal. And recorded in the action history log together with the time obtained from the timer 1f. At this time, the RSSI level of the signal received from the base station is also recorded simultaneously.

In addition, the portable information terminal 1 has a schedule function and an address book function mounted on a general PDA, and the user can use these functions. In addition, the PC 2 used by the user is synchronized with the information, and the schedule information and the address information can be similarly used on the PC 2.
Further, when a large deviation (the degree of this deviation is determined separately) occurs between the contents of the schedule registered by the schedule function of the portable information terminal 1 and the contents of the action history log, that is, the user's When the actual action deviates significantly from the schedule, a predetermined display (display for warning) may be made on the display surface provided in the buzzer sound or the portable information terminal 1. In this way, the user can be prompted to correct the action.

  When the travel expense report or daily report is created on the PC 2, the user performs a predetermined operation on the portable information terminal 1 and transmits it to the content PC 2 of the action history log. At this time, synchronization of schedule information and address information is also performed before and after (FIG. 11: step S04). Note that the action history log may be synchronized between the portable information terminal 1 and the PC 2 in the same manner as schedule information and address information.

The PC 2 receives an action history log (FIG. 7) and schedule information (FIG. 4) and address information (FIG. 5) as information related to the user's action sent from the portable information terminal 1 (FIG. 12: Step S11).
Then, the route search processing unit 2a-2 of the PC · 2 performs route search of the route on which the user has acted (FIG. 12: step S12). Then, the action history verification processing unit 2a-5 verifies whether the user is acting as scheduled (FIG. 12: step S13). Further, the nearest station search processing unit 2a-3 searches for the nearest station considered to be used by the user (FIG. 12: step S14).

Then, the fare search processing unit 2a-4 obtains the transportation cost (FIG. 12: step S15), and the output processing unit 2a-6 generates the travel expense report data in a predetermined format and causes the printer 3 to print it. Further, when allowance such as a business trip allowance is given by the restraint time until the user moves to the destination, the output processing unit 2a-6 calculates the restraint time from the action history log, and this restraint time. Information can be included or output separately. Information on business trip service expenses and the like can also be output based on the action history log.
The output processing unit 2a-6 also generates daily report (behavior report) data in a predetermined format and causes the printer 3 to print the data (FIG. 12: step S16). Note that the travel expense report or daily report data generated at this time may be displayed on a display unit (monitor) and printed by the printer 3 upon confirmation by the user.

FIG. 13 shows an example of a travel expense report, and FIG. 14 shows an example of a daily report (behavior report).
In the travel expense report shown in FIG. 13, the accountant employee code and name are obtained from the user information. Further, the period and business trip contents (visit destination, business) are obtained from schedule contents or route search results. Similarly, the date and time can be obtained from schedule contents or route search results. The section and vehicle name are obtained from the route search result and the nearest station search result. The transportation cost can be obtained from the fare search result.
Further, in the daily report shown in FIG. 14, the date and time, the visited place, and the business are obtained from the schedule content or the route search result.
In this way, information (data) that needs to be described in the travel expense report and daily report is automatically obtained by the settlement account creation system 4.

Next, a specific example is given and the detail of operation | movement until preparation of the travel expense report performed with the portable information terminal 1 and PC * 2 is demonstrated.
The following is the explanation: “August 9 (Thursday) / Direct bounce / 10:00 ○ × Visit to company (Aoyama) / 16:00 △ Meeting of trading company (Shibuya) / 20:00 Drinking party (Ginza) This is an example of creating a travel expense report when there is a daily schedule of <personal>, and this schedule is stored in advance in the storage unit 1b of the portable information terminal 1 as schedule information.

  In the above schedule (this information is stored as schedule information), “August 9 (Thursday) / Direct bounce / 10:00 ○ × Visit to company (Aoyama) / 16:00 △ Trading company (Shibuya) )) ”(Information that is not <personal>). The contents of the schedule are classified into personal use and other work use (this distinction is made by a predetermined flag or identifier (in the above example, <personal>)). The work information is used in the schedule information. In addition, in the address book (this information is stored as address information in the storage unit 1b of the portable information terminal 1), “XX company: 1-2-3 Kitaaoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Δ □ company: Shibuya "Kendo Doenzaka 1-2-3" is registered. On the other hand, in the PC 2, the user's home address and company address are stored in the storage unit 2 b as user information. In this example, it is assumed that the user information is “user home address: Aoba-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture ○ − × −Δ, user company address: Kagahara ○ − × −Δ, Tsuzuki-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture”.

  When the user leaves the home in the morning, when the portable information terminal 1 is turned on, the GPS receiver 1e receives a GPS signal at an arbitrarily determined time (for example, every minute). The position information of the current position based on the received GPS signal is sequentially stored in the history action log stored in the storage unit 1b of the portable information terminal 1 as data corresponding to time. Then, after the user works and returns to the home or office, an action history log corresponding to the time information for August 9 is sent from the portable information terminal 1 to the PC 2 at the home or office, August 9 Synchronize daily schedule information and address information (address book).

  The route search processing unit 2a-2 of the PC · 2 acquires position information (latitude / longitude in this case) from the action history log in the order of time passage, and further inquires this position information with the map information DB, and the map information DB By acquiring the location identification information at the location, the route search for the route on which the user has acted is performed. Then, the action history verification processing unit 2a-5 includes the time recorded in the action history log and the place identification information (address and name) corresponding to the time obtained by the route search, and schedule information (date and destination information) And the contents of the address and name included in the) and verify whether the user is acting as scheduled. Here, the place identification information with respect to the time registered as the schedule is compared with the visited information, and if they match, it is determined that the user is acting according to the schedule. In this case, the place identification information is compared with the visited information within a time range including a predetermined error (for example, ± 30 minutes).

  When the action history verification processing unit 2a-5 verifies that the user is not acting according to the schedule, the position information (latitude / longitude) of the action history log and the map information DB are inquired, and the recorded position information is the most. The nearest railway station is the nearest station. If it is verified that the user is acting according to the schedule, the address for the visit information (for example, company name) registered in the schedule information is acquired from the address information, and the latitude / longitude corresponding to the address is also obtained as the position information. The map information DB is obtained from the DB, and the map information DB is searched from this latitude / longitude, and the railway station closest to the latitude / longitude is set as the nearest station. In the following description, it is assumed that the user is acting as scheduled.

  As described above, the schedule includes an item indicating a behavioral system (selected and set by a selection formula such as “direct bounce”, “straight line”, “bounce”). In this example, since it is “direct bounce”, the departure place on August 9 is the user's home, and the final arrival place is also the user's home. Further, since the actual departure place and final arrival place verified by the action history verification processing unit 2a-5 are also the user's home, in this case, from the address of the user's home in the user information, as described above, the nearest station "Ichigao Station" is searched for. The nearest station may be registered in advance.

  In addition, in the schedule, the first place to visit is “XX company” and the location information at 10 o'clock, and if registered in the address book, the registered X address of the company “Tokyo Port” Based on “Kita Kita Aoyama 1-2-3”, the nearest station search processing unit 2a-3 searches the nearest station with reference to the position information DB and the map information DB. As a result, “Aoyama 1-chome Station” is searched as the nearest station. Similarly, the second station “△ □ company” is searched for the nearest station “Shibuya station” in the same manner. Next, the fare search processing unit 2a-4 refers to the fare DB and says "Ichigao-> (¥ 460) Aoyama 1-chome-> (¥ 160) Shibuya-> (¥ 270) Ichigao (total ¥ 860)” The route fare is calculated and the total amount is calculated.

  When the predetermined data is obtained as described above, the output processing unit 2a-6 applies the data obtained for each setting item according to a predetermined format, generates a travel expense report, and causes the printer 3 to print it. Similarly, daily reports can be created.

  In addition, in the specific example of the travel expense report creation described above, there is explained a case where there is no deviation between the content of the schedule and the actual time and the action route associated with this time, but for example, when creating a daily report, If there is a discrepancy between the scheduled time set in the schedule information and the actual time that is delayed or arrived early, the time set in the schedule if it is within the arbitrarily set error time, If it is outside the error time, the actual time is reflected in the daily report. If you are traveling to a location that is not set in the schedule or at a different time than the schedule, search for the nearest station from the actual action route obtained as described above, and Create a checkout or daily report.

Also, if it stays at a specific position for a certain period of time, it is considered that there was some event, and the location is specified and a daily report is output, or schedule information corresponding to this is written to PC-2 It may be. Also, if the actual travel route is not on the railway line and the actual travel speed obtained from the travel distance and the time required exceeds the walking speed, it is considered that the car has traveled by taxi, and the fare for using the taxi is calculated. However, it may be reflected in the travel expense report. In this case, it is assumed that the PC 2 has fare information for the distance in advance. When the destination is overseas, the fare may be converted according to the exchange rate of the country and reflected in the travel expense report. Of course, in this case, a database including information on exchange rates and information on local fares is further provided and used.
The operation of the checkout document creation system 4 has been described above.

In this way, action history information in which time and current position information are sequentially associated with each other is automatically stored in the portable information terminal, and travel expense reports and daily reports are automatically created using this action history information, etc. Therefore, human error due to forgetting or the like is eliminated, and a report such as a travel expense report and daily reports to be created are accurate.
Further, according to the present invention, even when the schedule or behavior is changed, it is not necessary to perform a special operation, that is, it is not necessary to change the setting of the schedule, and it can be easily handled.
Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to configure using existing hardware resources, it is easy to realize, and the cost can be reduced.
