  The transportation terminal 20 is a name of the transportation facility (transportation means) on which the user boarded or alighted, and information indicating whether the position of the transportation terminal 20 is the departure point or the arrival point (hereinafter referred to as registered point type information). The station name and time information are transmitted to the portable terminal 10 as information regarding the departure point or information regarding the arrival point (information transmission function 21 regarding the point). The automatic ticket gate at the entrance of the station and the transportation terminal 20 installed at the entrance of the bus transmit information indicating the departure point as the type information of the registered point. The automatic ticket gate serving as the exit of the station and the transportation terminal 20 installed at the exit of the bus transmit information indicating the arrival point as type information of the registered point. In addition, the transportation terminal 20 outputs an alarm sound (alarm output function 22) when transmission of information relating to the departure point or arrival point fails.

  The relay server 30 receives from the mobile terminal 10 the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server, the employee ID, and the terminal individual identification number (reception function 31 from the mobile terminal 10). For example, when the relay server 30 is configured to include a non-contact IC card reader / writer, the reader / writer reads the above information from the portable terminal 10. Moreover, when the relay server 30 and the portable terminal 10 are each provided with an infrared communication interface, each of the above information may be received by infrared communication. When the relay server 30 fails to receive information from the mobile terminal 10, the relay server 30 outputs an alarm sound (alarm output function 32).

  The relay server 30 transmits the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server received from the mobile terminal 10, the employee ID, and the terminal identification number to the expense application information management server 40 (transmission function 33 to the server). The relay server 30 receives the expense application registration result from the expense application information management server 40 (expense application registration result reception function 34 from the server). Further, the relay server 30 transmits the expense application registration result to the portable terminal 10 by a non-contact type IC card reader / writer or by infrared communication.

  The expense application information management server 40 includes an authentication data storage device that stores an authentication database 51. The authentication database 51 is a set of the employee ID 51a of each employee and the terminal individual identification number 51b of each mobile terminal 10 used by each employee. The expense application information management server 40 includes an expense application information storage device that stores an expense application information database 52. The expense application information database 52 is a set of employee IDs 52 a and expense application information 52 b received from the mobile terminal 10 via the relay terminal 30. The authentication data storage device and the expense application information storage device may be stored in the same storage device. It should be noted that, based on the expense application information registered in the expense application information database 52 and the employee ID, the person who manages the expense payment pays the expense to the user.

  Further, when the expense application information management server 40 receives expense application information (each expense application information included in the expense application information list 18 not transmitted to the server), employee ID, and terminal individual identification number from the relay server 30, authentication is performed. Authentication is performed with reference to the database 51 (authentication function 41). Then, if the authentication is successful, the expense application information management server 40 registers the received expense application information and employee ID in the expense application information database 52 (registration function 42). Further, the expense application information management server 40 transmits the expense application registration result to the relay server 30 (result transmission function 43).

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an operation when the mobile terminal 10 receives information related to the arrival point. When the user ends the use of the transportation facility, the mobile terminal 10 on which the application for application is installed is connected to an automatic ticket gate as an exit of the station or a contactless IC card of the transportation terminal 20 installed at the exit of the bus. Hold it over the reader / writer. That is, the portable terminal 10 is brought close to the contactless IC card reader / writer part of the transportation terminal 20 (step S7). At this time, when the contactless IC card reader / writer of the transportation terminal 20 senses the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10, the transportation terminal 20 determines whether or not the sensing is normal sensing. judge.

  When the transportation terminal 20 detects the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 normally, the transportation terminal 20 transmits information about the arrival point to the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 via the contactless IC card reader / writer. To do. The information regarding the arrival point includes a transportation facility name, registration point type information (in this case, the location of the transportation terminal 20 is the arrival point), a station name (or a stop name), and a departure time. The transportation terminal 20 may transmit, for example, the time when the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 is sensed as the getting-off time. The portable terminal 10 receives the information regarding the above arrival point via the non-contact IC card included in the portable terminal 10 (step S8).

  Moreover, the transportation terminal 20 outputs an alarm sound, when the non-contact type IC card of the portable terminal 10 is not normally sensed (step S9). In step S8, the transportation terminal 20 also outputs an alarm sound even when information transmission to the portable terminal 10 fails due to some trouble.

  Next, an operation in which the mobile terminal 10 registers expense application information will be described. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an operation of registering expense application information in the application area. The mobile terminal 10 refers to the map / fee information 17 and identifies the shortest route from the departure point to the arrival point based on the stored departure point position information and arrival point position information (step S10). The mobile terminal 10 specifies the position indicated by the position information of the departure point and the position information of the arrival point in the information on the railway route or the bus route included in the map / fee information 17. Then, the shortest route from the departure point to the arrival point may be specified in the railway or bus route.

  Subsequently, the mobile terminal 10 reads the expense application rule information from the storage unit 101 (step A11). Then, the mobile terminal 10 determines whether or not a specific commuter pass issued section is defined in the expense application rule information (step S11a). That is, it is determined whether or not a section from a certain station to a certain station is determined as a commuter pass issued section, not information “None”.

  When a specific commuter pass issuance section is defined in the expense application rule information (yes in step S11a), the mobile terminal uses the expense application rule information read in step S11 in the shortest route specified in step S10. It is determined whether a part or all of the included commuter pass issued section is included (step S11b).

  When a part or all of the commuter pass issued section is included in the shortest route specified in step S10 (yes in step S11b), the commuter pass issued section of the section overlapping with the commuter pass issued section is calculated. A flag indicating that the fee to be applied is calculated by subtracting the fee is turned on (step S12). At this time, the mobile terminal 10 obtains a route that excludes the overlapping section between the shortest route and the commuter pass issued section from the shortest route.

  In addition, when a specific commuter pass issued section is not defined in the expense application rule information, in other words, information indicating that there is no commuter pass issued section is defined in the expense application rule information (step S11a). No) and when the commuter pass issued section is not included in the shortest route specified in step S10 (no in step S11b), the mobile terminal 10 determines to calculate the fee from the shortest route (step S13). In step S13, the flag indicating that the charge to be applied is calculated by subtracting the charge of the section overlapping the commuter pass issued section from the charge of the section of the shortest route is turned off.

  Next, the mobile terminal 10 calculates a fee to be applied as a transportation fee based on the route (step S14).

  When the process proceeds from step S12 to step S14 and the above flag is turned on, the mobile terminal 10 calculates the charge for the section overlapping with the commuter pass issued section from the charge for the shortest route specified in step S10. By subtracting, the application fee is calculated as transportation fee. If the commuter pass issued section is an A → B section, the overlapping section “A → B” with the commuter pass issued section is excluded from the shortest section “A → B → C → D”. The route to be applied is B → D. The mobile terminal calculates the charge for the route to be applied by subtracting the charge for the overlapping section “A → B” with the commuter pass issued section from the charge for the shortest section “A → B → C → D”. . Similarly, if the commuter pass issued section is a section of C → D, the overlapping section “C → D” with the commuter pass issued section is excluded from the shortest section “A → B → C → D”. The route for which a charge is to be applied is A → C. The mobile terminal calculates the charge for the route to be applied by subtracting the charge for the overlapping section “C → D” with the commuter pass issued section from the charge for the shortest section “A → B → C → D”. . Similarly, if the commuter pass issued section is a B → C section, by excluding the overlapping section “B → C” with the commuter pass issued section from the shortest section “A → B → C → D”, Routes subject to application for charges are A → B and C → D. The mobile terminal calculates the charge for the route to be applied by subtracting the charge for the overlapping section “B → C” with the commuter pass issued section from the charge for the shortest section “A → B → C → D”. .

  In addition, when the flag indicating that the charge to be applied is calculated by subtracting the charge of the section overlapping the commuter pass issued section from the charge of the section of the shortest route is turned off (that is, step S11a or step When the process proceeds from step S11b to step S14 via step S13), the mobile terminal 10 obtains the fee for the shortest section obtained in step S10 as the application fee.

  The map / fee information 17 includes information on each charge according to the station section or information on each charge (or information on both) according to the stop section. The mobile terminal 10 refers to the map / fee information 17 and may read from the map / fee information 17 the charge of the shortest route or the overlapping section between the shortest route and the commuter pass issued section.

  After step S14, the mobile terminal 10 obtains the transportation name (transportation means), the boarding time, and the getting-off time included in the information about the departure point and the information about the arrival point received from the transportation terminal 20 in step S12. Expense application information in which the route (the route from which the overlapping route between the shortest route and the commuter pass issued section is excluded), the application fee calculated in step S14, and the use section are associated with each other is generated. At this time, the mobile terminal 10 assigns an identification number that identifies the expense application information as other expense application information, includes the identification number in the expense application information, and includes the expense application information in the expense application information list 18 that has not been sent to the server. to add. The portable terminal 10 stores the generated expense application information in the application area. Moreover, what is necessary is just to increment an identification number, for example, whenever expense application information is produced | generated. In addition, even if the portable terminal 10 includes a part or all of the commuter pass issued section in the shortest route obtained in step S10, the boarding station and the arrival point specified by the position information of the departure point The use section is represented by the getting-off station specified by the position information, and information on the boarding station and the boarding station is included in the expense application information as the use section.

  Next, the operation | movement at the time of transmitting / receiving expense application information is demonstrated. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing the operation of the expense application system that transmits and receives expense application information. When the employee holds the portable terminal 10 over the contactless IC card reader / writer of the relay terminal 30, the contactless IC card of the portable terminal 10 is brought close to the contactless IC card reader / writer. Then, the relay terminal 30 uses the contactless IC card reader / writer included in the relay terminal 30 to store the expense application information list 18 not transmitted to the server stored in the application area of the mobile terminal 10 and the storage unit 101. The stored employee ID and terminal individual identification number are read (step S16). When a plurality of expense application information is stored in the application area as the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server, the mobile terminal 10 relays all expense application information via a contactless IC card. 30. When the relay terminal 30 detects the contactless IC card by the contactless IC card reader / writer, but fails to communicate the expense application information list 18, employee ID and terminal individual identification number that have not been transmitted to the server. Alarm sound is output (step S17).

  Here, although the case where it communicates via a non-contact type IC card and a non-contact type IC card reader / writer was shown, the portable terminal 10 and the relay terminal 30 are each provided with an infrared communication interface, and the portable terminal 10 is provided by infrared communication. May transmit the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server, the employee ID, and the terminal individual identification number to the relay terminal 30.

  Subsequent to step S16, the relay terminal 30 uses the information read from the mobile terminal 10 (the expense application information list 18, the employee ID and the terminal individual identification number not yet transmitted to the server) as the expense application information management server 40 via the LAN. (Step S18).

  When the expense application information management server 40 receives from the relay terminal 30 the expense application information list 18 that has not been sent to the server, the employee ID and the terminal individual identification number, the expense application information management server 40 authenticates the user of the portable terminal 10 (step S19). The expense application information management server 40 compares the received employee ID and terminal individual identification number with the employee ID and terminal individual identification number included in the authentication database 51, and matches the received employee ID and terminal individual identification number. If the employee ID and terminal individual identification number to be included are included in the authentication database 51, it is determined that the authentication has been successful, and either or both of the received employee ID and terminal individual identification number are included in the authentication database 51. If the employee ID and the terminal individual identification number do not match, it is determined that the authentication has failed.

  The expense application information management server 40 receives each expense application information received in step S18 (each expense application information included in the expense application information list 18 not transmitted to the server) received in step S18 when the authentication is successful. The expense ID is registered in the expense application information database 52 together with the employee ID (step S20).

  After each expense application information and employee ID are registered in the expense application information database 52 in step S20, the expense application information management server 40 relays the expense application registration result indicating that the expense application information has been registered successfully. 30 (step S21). At this time, the expense application information management server 40 also transmits the application number included in each expense application information registered in the expense application information database 52 in step S20 in the expense application registration result. The relay terminal 30 receives the expense application registration result.

  The relay terminal 30 transmits the expense application registration result by the user to the mobile terminal 10 held over the non-contact type IC card reader / writer provided in the relay terminal 30 (step S23). The relay terminal 30 transmits the expense application registration result via the non-contact type IC card reader / writer, and the mobile terminal 10 receives the expense application registration result via the non-contact type IC card.

  Here, the case where communication is performed via a non-contact type IC card and a non-contact type IC card reader / writer is shown, but the mobile terminal 10 and the relay terminal 30 each have an infrared communication interface, and the relay terminal 30 is configured by infrared communication. May send the expense application registration result to the mobile terminal 10.

  The portable terminal 10 displays the received expense application registration result on the display device with which it is provided (step S24). By this display, the user can know whether or not the expense application information is registered in the expense application information management server 40.

  Furthermore, the mobile terminal 10 deletes the expense application information to which the application number included in the received expense application registration result is assigned from the application area (step S25). As a result, the expense application information registered in the expense application information management server 40 is not transmitted again.

  The expense application information management server 40 transmits an expense application registration result indicating that the expense application information could not be registered to the relay terminal 30 when the authentication fails (step S22). If authentication fails, the application number is not included in the expense application registration result. The relay terminal 30 transmits the expense application registration result by the user to the mobile terminal 10 held over the non-contact type IC card reader / writer provided in the relay terminal 30 (step S23). As already described, the relay terminal 30 may transmit the expense application registration result to the mobile terminal 10 by infrared communication.

  When the portable terminal 10 receives the expense application registration result, the portable terminal 10 displays the expense application registration result on its own display device (step S24). If the application number is not included in the expense application registration result, the mobile terminal 10 does not delete the expense application information (step S25). Accordingly, the expense application information that has not been registered is not deleted from the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server.

  According to the present invention, the mobile terminal 10 transmits all the expense application information included in the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server stored in the application area to the relay device 30. Therefore, it is possible to collectively perform expense application (registration of expense application information to the expense application information management server 40). Therefore, convenience for the user can be improved. Communication between the portable terminal 10 that transmits and receives expense application information and the relay device 30 is performed by communication using a non-contact IC card and a non-contact IC card reader / writer, or infrared communication. Therefore, no packet communication fee is generated, and the communication cost at the time of expense application can be suppressed.

  In addition, since the user does not need to apply for expenses by manual input to the information processing apparatus or the like, the convenience of the user can also be improved in this respect. In addition, when the usage route and the commuter pass issued section overlap, the mobile terminal 10 applies by subtracting the fee of the section overlapping the commuter pass issued section from the fee of the shortest route section of the usage route. Since the fee is calculated, the application fee can be calculated automatically and accurately.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
The expense application system of the second embodiment is used to apply for expenses by using a taxi. The portable terminal 10 and the transportation terminal 20 included in the expense application system according to the second embodiment are different from the first embodiment in the following points. Configurations and operations other than the following points are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  The transportation terminal 20 is arranged in a taxi. As registration point type information, it is possible to manually switch between transmitting information indicating that the position of the transportation terminal 20 (that is, taxi position) is a departure point or transmitting information indicating that it is an arrival point. It has a simple structure. In addition, the transportation terminal 20 of the present embodiment does not transmit position information (station name, stop name), but instead transmits a position information calculation command. Further, the transportation terminal 20 is connected to a fare calculator (not shown) provided in the taxi, and taxi fare information is input to the transportation terminal 20 from the fare calculator. The transportation terminal 20 transmits the taxi fare information at the arrival point to the mobile terminal 10. That is, the mobile terminal 10 of the first embodiment calculates the train and bus charges, but the mobile terminal 10 of the present embodiment directly receives the taxi fare from the transportation terminal 20 and uses that amount as the application fee. And

  The station name and the stop name are not transmitted from the transportation terminal 20 to the mobile terminal 10, and the mobile terminal 10 according to the present embodiment uses the information on the current location when the type information of the registered location is received as the departure location information. Alternatively, it is calculated as arrival point information. When the mobile terminal 10 receives the information indicating the departure point, the mobile terminal 10 sets the calculated current position information as the departure point position information. Similarly, when information indicating an arrival point is received, the calculated current position information is used as the arrival point position information. The mobile terminal 10 of this embodiment includes a GPS (Global Positioning System) antenna, and calculates information on the current position (for example, latitude and longitude) based on the positional relationship with the GPS satellite.

  In addition, the mobile terminal 10 according to the present embodiment specifies the position information (for example, latitude and longitude) calculated by the mobile terminal 10 based on the positional relationship with the GPS satellite and the position information as the map / charge information 17. Is stored in association with information (for example, place names) that can be expressed in an automatic manner. Information about the fee may not be stored in advance.

  Furthermore, the expense application rule information in the present embodiment is information indicating conditions under which a user can apply for a taxi fare. Specifically, the expense application rule information in the present embodiment is information that defines a taxi use area and a use time zone in which a user can apply for a taxi fare.

Next, the operation will be described.
FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an operation when the mobile terminal 10 according to the second embodiment receives information about a departure point or information about an arrival point. First, when the user gets on the vehicle, the transportation terminal 20 in the taxi is switched to transmit information indicating the departure point as the type information of the registered point by the driver's operation. When the user gets on the taxi, the portable terminal 10 is brought close to the contactless IC card reader / writer portion of the transportation terminal 20, and the contactless IC card reader / writer of the transportation terminal 20 is moved to the portable terminal 10. When the non-contact type IC card is detected, the transportation terminal 20 determines whether or not the detection is normal. This operation is the same as in the first embodiment.

  When the transportation terminal 20 detects the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 normally, the transportation terminal 20 transmits information about the departure point to the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 via the contactless IC card reader / writer. To do. Specifically, the name of the transportation facility (taxi), the type information of the registered point (here, information indicating that it is a departure point), and the boarding time are transmitted. At this time, the transportation terminal 20 also transmits a position information calculation command to the portable terminal 10 (step S26).

  When the mobile terminal 10 receives the position information calculation command and the information regarding the departure point, the mobile terminal 10 calculates the current position information based on the positional relationship with the GPS satellite according to the received calculation command. Furthermore, since the mobile terminal 10 has received information indicating that it is a departure point, the mobile terminal 10 stores the calculated current position information as position information of the departure point (step S27).

  Further, the transportation terminal 20 outputs an alarm sound when the non-contact IC card of the mobile terminal 10 is not normally sensed. Similarly, an alarm sound is also output when information transmission to the mobile terminal 10 fails due to some failure. This operation is the same as in the first embodiment.

  The operation when the user gets off is the same. However, when the user gets off, the transportation terminal 20 in the taxi is switched by the driver's operation to transmit information indicating the arrival point as the registered point type information. When the transportation terminal 20 detects the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 normally, the transportation terminal 20 transmits information about the arrival point to the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 via the contactless IC card reader / writer. To do. Specifically, the name of the transportation facility (taxi), the type information of the registered point (in this case, information indicating that it is an arrival point), and the getting-off time are transmitted. In addition, when transmitting information indicating that it is an arrival point, the transportation terminal 20 also transmits information on a taxi usage fee to the portable terminal 10. At this time, the transportation terminal 20 also transmits a position information calculation command to the portable terminal 10 (step S26). When the mobile terminal 10 receives the position information calculation command and the information regarding the arrival point, the mobile terminal 10 calculates the current position information based on the positional relationship with the GPS satellite according to the received calculation command. Furthermore, since the mobile terminal 10 has received information indicating that it is an arrival point, the mobile terminal 10 stores the calculated current position information as position information of the arrival point (step S27). Further, the transportation terminal 20 outputs an alarm sound when the contactless IC card of the mobile terminal 10 is not normally sensed or when information transmission to the mobile terminal 10 fails due to some failure.

  FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an operation in which the mobile terminal 10 according to the second embodiment registers the expense application information in the application area. The mobile terminal 10 refers to the map / fee information 17 and actualizes position information (for example, latitude and longitude) obtained as the position of the departure point and the arrival point (step S28). That is, information (for example, place name) that is associated with latitude and longitude and that specifically represents the position is extracted from the map / fee information 17 and specific information (for example, place name) of the departure point and the arrival point is specified. Subsequently, the mobile terminal 10 reads the history application rule information from the storage unit 101 (step S29). The expense application regulation information defines the taxi use area and use time zone where taxi fare can be applied.

  After step S29, the terminal device 10 determines whether or not the position information obtained as the positions of the departure point and the arrival point belong to a taxi use area where a taxi fee can be applied (step S30). If at least one of the position of the departure point and the position of the arrival point does not belong to a taxi use area where a taxi fee can be applied (no in step S30), the process is terminated. In this case, expense application information is not generated, and the user cannot make an expense application.

  If both the position of the departure point and the position of the arrival point belong to a taxi use area where a taxi fee can be applied (yes in step S30), the terminal device 10 determines the taxi fee for both the boarding time and the getting-off time. It is determined whether or not the application time is within the application time zone (step S31). If at least one of the boarding time and the getting-off time does not fall within the use time zone in which a taxi fee can be applied (no in step S31), the process is terminated. In this case, expense application information is not generated, and the user cannot make an expense application. If both the boarding time and the getting-off time are within the usage time zone in which a taxi fee can be applied (yes in step S31), the traffic included in the information on the departure point and the information on the arrival point received from the transportation terminal 20 Expense application information is generated by associating the institution name (transportation means), boarding time, getting-off time, application fee (taxi fee), and route (for example, the place name of the departure point and the arrival point read in step S29). At this time, the mobile terminal 10 assigns an identification number as in the first embodiment, and also includes the identification number in the expense application information. The expense application information is added to the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server.

  The operation in which the portable terminal 10 and the expense application information management server 40 transmit and receive expense application information and the expense application registration result via the relay terminal 30 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the convenience of the user can be improved and the communication cost at the time of expense application can be suppressed.

  The mobile terminal 10 may be configured to apply for any charges for trains, buses, and taxis by performing both the operation of the first embodiment and the operation of the second embodiment.

Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the first embodiment, the mobile terminal 10 calculates the application fee based on the position information of the departure point, the position information of the arrival point, and the map / fee information 17. In contrast, the expense application system of the third embodiment calculates an application fee when the expense application information management server 40 succeeds in authentication. The terminal device 10 according to the present embodiment generates expense application information including position information (station name or stop name) of the departure point and the arrival point without including the application fee as the expense application information. Note that the expense application system of the third embodiment is used to apply for expenses by using trains and buses.

  FIG. 10 is an explanatory diagram illustrating details of the mobile terminal 10, the transportation terminal 20, the relay terminal 30, and the expense application information management server 40 according to the third embodiment. The same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIG. In the present embodiment, the expense application information management server 40 stores expense application rule information 16 and map / fee information 17. The portable terminal 10 does not need to store the expense application rule information 16 and the map / fee information 17. However, the mobile terminal 10 stores the employee ID 16a included in the expense application rule information 16 of the first embodiment. Expense application rule information 16 stored in the expense application information management server 40 is the same as the expense application rule information 16 stored in the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment. However, the expense application information management server 40 stores expense application rule information 16 for each user.

  The mobile terminal 10 receives the transportation name (transportation means), the boarding time, the getting-off time, and the location information of the departure point (station name or stop name) included in the information on the departure point and the information on the arrival point received from the transportation terminal 20. ), Expense application information that associates location information (station name or stop name) of the arrival point is generated. This expense application information does not include application fee information. At this time, the mobile terminal 10 assigns an identification number as in the first embodiment, and also includes the identification number in the expense application information. Then, the generated expense application information is added to the expense application information list 18 that has not been transmitted to the server.

  The operation in which the portable terminal 10 and the expense application information management server 40 transmit and receive expense application information and the expense application registration result via the relay terminal 30 is the same as that in the first embodiment.

  The expense application information management server 40 performs authentication when receiving the expense application information list 18, the employee ID, and the terminal individual identification number that have not been transmitted from the relay terminal 30 to the server. This authentication is the same as in the first embodiment. If the authentication is successful, the expense application information management server 40 performs an operation for calculating an application fee for each received expense application information (fee calculation function 53). This operation is the same as the operations in steps S10 to S14 of the first embodiment (see FIG. 6).

  In the third embodiment, the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, since the processing amount of the mobile terminal 10 is small, it can be used for expense application even if the application area and processing capacity of the mobile terminal 10 are small.

  The storage means corresponds to an application area in the storage unit 101. The expense application information registration means, transmission means, position information reception means, and expense application information generation means are realized by the CPU of the mobile terminal 10. In addition, the boarding information receiving means, the getting-off information receiving means, the position calculating means, and the taxi expense application information generating means are also realized by the CPU of the portable terminal 10.
