Description

  The present invention relates to an intermediary server and an intermediary system, and more particularly, to an intermediary server and an intermediary system that report a settlement such as a monthly fee that is generated monthly to a financial institution or a card company.

  In addition to the monthly fees for study schools, piano classrooms, sports clubs, etc., fees related to the application for substitution include fees for delivery items such as LP gas (Liquefied petroleum gas: LPG), newspapers, and milk. In addition, not limited to the above-mentioned business, for example, payments in all industries that require agency payments, such as Internet auction payment settlement, network business, mail order sales, etc., water, gas (city gas, LP gas), Includes utility charges such as electricity.

  Conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a technique that has a problem of making the cost for system introduction relatively inexpensive. Specifically, Patent Document 1 discloses an accounting process composed of a computer terminal on the accounting requester side and an accounting processor computer terminal that performs accounting processing connected to the computer terminal so that data communication is possible. A system is disclosed.

  This accounting processing system performs accounting processing at the computer terminal of the account processor based on the transaction data input at the computer terminal at the requester side. Specifically, the requester's computer terminal accepts transaction data required for the accounting process and transmits the received transaction data to the accounting processor's computer terminal in a predetermined file format. A program is stored so as to be executable, and an accounting processing program for performing accounting processing based on the transmitted transaction data in a predetermined file format is stored in the computer terminal of the accounting processor so as to be executable.

JP 2001-319020 A

  However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 requires that accounting-dedicated software is installed in the requester's computer terminal. This means that there are a plurality of accounting software (computer terminals on the client side) per computer terminal of one accounting processor.

  In this case, each client is required to purchase a duplicate accounting software and install duplicate software for a computer terminal of a single accounting processor, which is wasteful and requires a solution. .

  Therefore, the present invention is such that the requester can request the accounting process without purchasing and installing the accounting-dedicated software, as long as the client terminal is a computer terminal on which the general-purpose software is installed. The challenge is to build an intermediary system.

In order to solve the above problems, the mediation server and mediation system of the present invention include:
Means for downloading an accounting data input form (eg, a spreadsheet) in response to a request from the client terminal;
Means for registering accounting data uploaded from the client terminal in a predetermined format (for example, CSV (Comma Separated Values) format or HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) format) through an input form;
Means for downloading registered transaction data in response to a request from the broker terminal.

Further, the mediation system program of the present invention is
Requesting the intermediary server to download the accounting data input form;
Uploading the accounting data input in the input form downloaded from the mediation server in response to the download request to the mediation server;
Is executed on the client terminal.

Furthermore, the mediating system program of the present invention is:
The broker terminal is caused to execute a step of requesting the broker server to download the registered accounting data.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an intermediary system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an intermediary server 100, an intermediary terminal 200, a client terminal 300, financial operator terminals 400a to 400c, and a network 500, which will be described below. Actually, a plurality of intermediary terminals 200 and requester terminals 300 are connected to the network 500, and four or more financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c are also connected.

  The mediation server 100 stores an input form of accounting data such as a monthly fee downloaded to the client terminal 300, and downloads the input form in response to a request from the client terminal 300. The mediation server 100 registers transaction data uploaded from the client terminal 300 through the input form. The input form may be a spreadsheet (a table in which cells are arranged) of general spreadsheet software (for example, Excel (registered trademark) of Microsoft Corporation).

  The accounting data input to the input form at the client terminal 300 is uploaded to the mediation server 100 in, for example, CSV (Comma Separated Values) format or HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) format.

  The mediation server 100 causes the mediator terminal 200 to download registered accounting data in response to a request from the mediator terminal 200. The specific configuration of the mediation server 100 will be described later.

  Here, in this embodiment, even if no specific accounting software is installed in the client terminal 300, the present intermediary system can be used. Further, it becomes possible to make a mediation request without depending on the mediation system itself or the client terminal 300. That is, without depending on the client terminal 300 or the mediation server 100 (including the ASP server), the transaction data transmitted from the client terminal 300 can be processed by the broker terminal 200 including editing.

  It should be noted that in the brokerage system, the accounting data is not simply linked between the client terminal 300 and the broker terminal 200 in order to be usable between different software.

  In this brokerage system, typically, accounting data is uploaded from the client terminal 300 to the broker server 100, the broker terminal 200 downloads the accounting data from the broker server 100, and settles at the financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c. Create the data required when performing

  In this mediation system, in order to upload accounting data in the CSV format from the client terminal 300 to the mediation server 100, temporarily, when accounting data is uploaded from the client terminal 300 to the mediation server 100, or mediation When accounting data is downloaded from the server 100 to the broker terminal 200, even if a communication failure occurs in the network 500, if the accounting data is uploaded or downloaded again, settlement processing is performed at the financial company terminals 400a to 400c. can do.

  The requester terminal 300 may request the mediation server 100 to download the input form and store accounting data input by the requester or the like for the downloaded input form in the memory of its own terminal. , Which is directly input to what is displayed on the Web browser and uploaded to the mediation server 100. The client terminal 300 is typically a personal computer (PC) operated by the client. In addition, since the CPU load on the PC is greatly reduced by performing operations on the Web browser, it is not always necessary to store accounting data on the PC (local) side. Is also unnecessary.

  The broker terminal 200 makes a request for downloading accounting data to the broker server 100 and, on the basis of the downloaded accounting data, makes a proxy application for settlement to the corresponding financial dealer terminal among the financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c. To do. The intermediary terminal 200 is typically a PC operated by the above-mentioned settlement proxy settlement operator. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the mediator terminal 200 and the mediation server 100 are connected via the network 500. However, the mediator terminal 200 and the mediation server 100 are connected to a local area network (Local Area Network). Network: LAN) may be used for connection.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the mediator terminal 200 acquires customer information (name, address, telephone number, etc.) from the client terminal 300 in advance so as to deal with so-called convenience store payments that are currently being handled. In addition, it is possible to create a payment that can be handled at a small market store such as a convenience store and send it to the customer by mail or the like.

  The financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c perform settlement according to the accounting data transmitted from the mediator terminal 200. The financial operator terminal 400 is typically a PC operated by a bank clerk or a card company employee.

  The network 500 is a network such as the Internet, a telephone line, and a dedicated line. The network 500 connects the broker server 100, the broker terminal 200, the client terminal 300, and the financial dealer terminal 400 to each other.

  FIG. 1 further shows functional blocks of the mediation server 100. The mediation server 100 includes a web service unit 110, a database (hereinafter referred to as “DB”) 120, and a DB processing unit 140, which will be described below. Each means 110 to 140 is typically realized by cooperation of the CPU and the memory, but may be realized by dedicated hardware. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which the DB 110 is built in the mediation server 100, the DB 110 may be connected to the mediation server 100 via a dedicated line or the network 500.

  The web service unit 110 stores a web page including an accounting data input form, and causes the client terminal 300 to download the web page in response to a request from the client terminal 300. Specific contents of the input form will be described later.

  In the DB 120, CSV-format accounting data uploaded from the client terminal 300 is registered. In the present embodiment, the accounting data can be edited as needed through the client terminal 300 after uploading from the client terminal 300 and before the download request by the broker terminal 200. After the download request by the broker terminal 200, it is fixed and cannot be edited.

  The DB processing unit 140 performs processing for registering accounting data in the DB 120 and processing for updating accounting data registered in the DB 120. The DB processing unit 160 is typically realized by a database engine and a database management system.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a web page 600 including a convenience store payment input form downloaded from the intermediary server 100 shown in FIG. 1 to the client terminal 300. In FIG. 2, a pull-down menu 610 for selecting any one of bank settlement, card settlement, and convenience store settlement (convenience store storage), and a closing date, for example, any one of the first day, the tenth day, the twentieth day, and any time of the month A pull-down menu 612 for selecting, a re-reading button 614 for downloading the web page 600 again, a pull-down menu 616 for selecting input and change of accounting data, and an external input device connected to the client terminal 300 A re-execution button 618 for selecting and executing the key input property of a certain keyboard, a local save button 620 for saving the input result for the input form in the requester terminal 300, a password required to be input at the time of login, etc. A setting button 622 to be operated and a help button 624 for referring to an operation method are shown.

  Further, in FIG. 2, a “Request” check button for selecting whether or not to request a payment agent for a fee to the broker, a “No.” field as a serial number, and a customer who pays the fee are assigned. “Customer Code” and “Customer Name”, “Item” indicating the contents of the payment fee, “Quantity” and “Unit Price” of the item, “Billing Amount” to the customer, and optional items are entered. Input fields 628 for “Remarks”, “Billing total”, “Billing date”, “Payment due date”, “Address” including “Zip code” and telephone number (not shown) are shown. . In addition, in the case of the bank withdrawal input form, the input area 628 includes a “withdrawn bank name” designated by the customer and an “account number” designated by the customer.

  Instead of inputting the “billed total” itself, for example, in the case of a gas charge, the gas usage amount itself or the meter reading value itself may be input. When inputting the gas usage amount itself, a correspondence table between the gas usage amount and the billing total may be registered in the mediation server 200, and the mediation server 200 may calculate the billing total based on the gas usage amount. On the other hand, when the meter reading value itself is input, the intermediary server 200 may subtract the meter reading value of the previous month from the meter reading value to calculate the gas usage amount and then calculate the billed total.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a web page 700 including a request status list into which accounting data downloaded from the broker server 100 shown in FIG. 1 to the broker terminal 200 is input. 3 includes a pull-down menu 710 for selecting a display screen such as a request status list shown in FIG. 3, a setting button 714 for changing a password that needs to be input at the time of login, and a help button 716 for referring to an operation method. Show.

It shows an input / display area 750 and 748.

  FIG. 4 is a time chart showing an operation procedure of the mediation system shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, an operation procedure when an LP gas fee or the like is automatically withdrawn from a bank account will be described as an example. First, prior to the procedure shown in FIG. 4, the client prompts the customer to seal the notification seal that was notified to the withdrawal bank at the time of opening the bank account, etc. Send written usage agreement by mail.

  This usage agreement is sent to the broker, and the broker who receives the usage agreement copies it and then sends it to the corresponding financial company by mail. deep.

  In this state, the client, as is known, visits the customer's home, performs gas meter reading, and confirms the amount of gas used. This confirmation work can be done by visually observing the gas meter or wirelessly using a handy terminal or smartphone, or by remote work using a telephone line etc. without the client requesting the customer's home. Check. Thereafter, if the LPG cylinder needs to be replaced according to the amount of use, the requester calculates the gas charge for the LPG cylinder.

  Next, in order to use the service in the present system, the requester operates the external input device such as a keyboard and a mouse connected to the requester terminal 300, thereby requesting the intermediary server 100 from the requester terminal 300. Then, a login operation such as transmitting a login ID and password registered in advance is performed.

  After the log-in is completed, the requester attaches the terminal ID assigned to the own terminal from the requester terminal 300 to the mediation server 100 in order to input and transmit the accounting data. A download request is made (step S1).

  When the mediation server 100 receives this download request, the web service unit 110 associates the web page 600 as shown in FIG. 2 with the terminal ID and transmits it to the client terminal 300 (step S2).

  Since the web page 600 and the requester terminal 300 are linked to each other by the terminal ID, the transaction data of the requester terminal 300 is registered in the DB 120 without being mixed with the transaction data from other requester terminals. It becomes possible.

  When the client uses the service of this system for the first time, the input area 628 of the web page 600 is all blank, or virtual data indicating an input example is displayed.

  The requester operates the keyboard or the like to input required accounting data in the input area 628 provided in the web page 600. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, “0000000001” is input to “Customer Code” in the input area 628, “XX Sales Co., Ltd.” is input to “Customer Name”, and “Gas Fee” is input to “Item”. Enter “1” in “Quantity”, “6000” in “Unit Price”, “August 2007” in “Billing Date”, and “2007 September 9” in “Payment Due Date”. Enter “Month 4th”. Similarly, “0000000002” is entered in the “customer code” field of the input area 628, “△△ ○ × Corporation” is entered in the “customer name”, “100” is entered in the “quantity”, “150” is entered in the unit price, etc. (Step S3).

  In this case, typically, the requester may press the “save data” button when the number of input items is large. When the client terminal 300 detects that the “data save” button is pressed, the client terminal 300 uploads the accounting data input in the input form to the mediation server 100 in the CSV format. A terminal ID is added to the accounting data. When the mediation server 100 receives the accounting data uploaded from the requester terminal 300, the DB processing unit 140 overwrites and saves the accounting data in the DB 110 according to the terminal ID. To do.

  By the way, when meter reading is performed by a handy terminal or a smartphone in which spreadsheet software is installed, first, the meter reading result is stored in a spreadsheet and managed in units of files in the smartphone or the like. In this spreadsheet, it is preferable to associate the input form described above with the matrix position.

  Here, at the time of meter reading, at least “customer code” or “customer name” and “meter reading result” are stored. In the input form described above, the corresponding cell is “third column”. Or “4th column” and “8th column” (however, the meter reading value in place of “billed total” is stored), so in the “3rd column” or “4th column” of the above spreadsheet “Customer code” or “customer name” may be stored, and the meter reading result may be stored in the “eighth column”.

  In this state, the handy terminal or the like and the client terminal 300 are connected by a dedicated line or the like, and if a removable memory is attached to the handy terminal or the like, the removable memory is connected to the client terminal 300 by Then, a spreadsheet in which the meter reading result is stored is output from the smartphone or the like to the client terminal 300.

  In this way, most of the accounting data can be taken into the client terminal 200 without manual input by the client. In addition, the meter reading may be performed by the smartphone, the processing to be performed at the client terminal 300 such as “payment due date” input in the smartphone, and the accounting data may be transmitted from the smartphone to the intermediary server 100, and the wireless communication environment is considered. Then, the accounting data may be once taken into the client terminal 200 and the accounting data may be transmitted from the client terminal 200 to the mediation server 100 to the last.

  Further, until a special handy terminal has been purchased and a special program has not been created, it has been impossible to print a meter reading slip as a notification or bill. However, in the mediation system of the present embodiment, a special program can be used by outputting accounting data to be printed from a commercially available mobile printer by registering an image to be printed on a spreadsheet in advance in a CSV file or the like. It is possible to print slips without depending on a special handy terminal. For this reason, if it sees as the whole intermediary system, it will become possible to aim at a significant cost reduction, and it can operate without the need to install exclusive software which processes accounting data.

  Further, it is assumed that the requester selects “bank settlement” from the pull-down menu 610, presses the local save button 620, and then presses the “request data transmission” button. As a result, the client terminal 300 transmits the accounting data to which the terminal ID is added to the mediation server 100 in the CSV format (step S4).

  Actually, when the local save button 620 is pressed, the client terminal 300 or the mediation server 100 checks whether all information of the accounting data has been input. Specifically, for example, it is checked whether an input cell of a certain “unit price” is in a blank state. When the client terminal 300 performs the above check, the client terminal 300 reports an error without transmitting the accounting data to the mediation server 100 when detecting that there is a blank input cell. Is displayed.

  By pressing the save local button 620, the transaction data is also stored in the client terminal 300, so that the client data can be read and processed in the client terminal 300 as necessary. For example, as the process, after the execution of step S4 or the like, the meter reading result may be notified by selectively sending the accounting data by mail or e-mail from the client terminal 300 to each customer. Is possible.

  When accounting data is transmitted by e-mail or the like, the customer can easily import the accounting data into household account book software installed on the customer's PC. At this time, even if the customer's PC is damaged or replaced, the customer's PC can obtain it by requesting the client terminal 300 to download the accounting data history. It becomes possible to obtain the accounting data again.

  When the intermediary server 100 receives the accounting data from the client terminal 300, the DB processing unit 140 registers the accounting data in the DB 110 according to the terminal ID (step S5).

  In this state, the broker accesses the broker server 100 from the broker terminal 200 by operating a keyboard or the like connected to the broker terminal 200, and displays a web page 700 as shown in FIG. Suppose you downloaded it.

In the web page 700, the input / display area 750 is in a blank state, for example. Subsequently, for example, by selecting “request status list” from the pull-down menu 710, a request for downloading accounting data is made (step S6).
Then, in the mediation server 100, the DB processing unit 140 reads the accounting data from the DB 120 and outputs it to the web service unit 110 in accordance with this download request. When the accounting data output from the DB processing unit 140 is input, the web service unit 110 inputs the accounting data to the web page 700 as shown in FIG. 3 and transmits it to the broker terminal 200 (step S7). ).

  In step S7, an example in which the web page 700 as shown in FIG. 3 is transmitted in a so-called pull type has been shown. However, the mediation server 100 periodically performs a so-called push type, for example, every three days. Transmission may be performed.

  This web page 700 displays the request status from all the clients in the order of the client code assigned to each client as a “request status list”, or from the client in order from the latest accounting data. Since all of the request statuses are displayed, accounting data managed by other persons in charge is included, or accounting data for which settlement has already been requested is included.

  For this reason, the person in charge of the brokerage selectively operates the keyboard or the like connected to the brokerage terminal 200, thereby displaying the accounting data excluding the accounting data for which settlement has been requested from the pull-down menu 710. Such a search condition or a search condition for displaying accounting data under the jurisdiction of a predetermined operator from the operation area 720, or a search for displaying the request status for July 2007 from the operation area 720 A condition may be selected and transmitted from the broker terminal 200 to the broker server 100 (step S8).

  When the mediation server 100 receives the search condition from the mediator terminal 200, the DB processing unit 140 functions as a database engine and searches the DB 120 according to the search condition (step S9).

  Then, the mediation server 100 transmits the web page 700 including the accounting data that matches the search condition to the mediator terminal 200 (step S10).

  For example, the broker sorts the accounting data received by the broker terminal 200 according to the financial broker. Then, the broker operates the broker terminal 200 to transmit the classified accounting data to the corresponding financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c and makes a settlement request (step S11).

  Specifically, the broker terminal 200 includes a memory in which each button shown in FIG. 3 and a command corresponding to the button are stored in a pair, a scheduler for specifying the date, and pressing of the “Create Data” button. Means for referring to the scheduler based on the detection of data and the stored contents of the memory, means for inputting the settlement request date to the request date 748 according to the reference result, and settlement data that has been created with the input of the settlement request date as a settlement server 100, means for transmitting to the financial institution terminals 400a to 400c, means for updating the display of the processing result 732 when the required processing is completed, detection of pressing of the save button on the removable medium, and stored contents of the memory And a means for storing settlement data in a removable medium.

  Then, the broker terminal 200 detects that the processing target 730 corresponding to the settlement data creation processing target is selected from the broker by clicking or the like, and in this state, the “data creation” button in the operation area 720 is pressed. When it is detected, “confirmed” is displayed in the request status 742 of the input / display area 750 corresponding to the processing target 730, and “◯” is displayed in the processing result 732, and settlement is made on the request date 748. While inputting a request date, payment data is transmitted to the payment server 100 and the financial operator terminals 400a to 400c.

  After that, when the broker terminal 200 detects that the save media storage button has been pressed, the broker terminal 200 stores the settlement data in the removable media connected to the broker terminal 200 and displays “completed” in the request status 742. , And for example, “例 え ば” is displayed in the processing result 732.

  When receiving the settlement request from the broker terminal 200, the financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c perform known settlement processing according to the accounting data from the broker terminal 200. When the settlement process is successfully completed, the financial dealer terminals 400a to 400c transmit a completion notification indicating that the settlement process is completed to the broker terminal 200 (step S12).

  On the other hand, if the settlement process is not completed due to a shortage of balance, the financial institution terminals 400a to 400c can make settlement by e-mail or the like directly to the customer or indirectly through the intermediary terminal 200. Notification of processing incompletion may be made, and the customer may be urged to make payment by means of a pagey online card payment. As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of the client or the like visiting the customer's home and collecting money.

  Incidentally, the client terminal 300 may notify the settlement processing incompletion, but since it is necessary to prepare a program for this, in the present embodiment, as described above, the financial operator terminals 400a to 400c or the broker terminal 200 is informed that the settlement process is not completed. Even in this case, when the settlement process is completed, the completion notification is made so that the customer is not charged twice.

  When the completion notification is received by the broker terminal 200, the broker confirms whether the accounting data transmitted at the time of the settlement request is correct or not, and if this is correct, by operating the broker terminal 200, A completion notification is transmitted to the mediation server 100 (step S13).

  A mail address corresponding to the client terminal 300 is registered in advance in the mediation server 100. Then, when receiving the completion notification from the broker terminal 200, the mediation server 100 transmits the completion notification to the requester terminal 300 through a web mail or the like (step S14). As a result, the client terminal 300 can send a receipt to the customer by mail or the like.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 5 is a time chart showing an operation procedure of the mediation system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and corresponds to FIG. FIG. 5 illustrates an example of an operation procedure when making a convenience store settlement.

  In FIG. 5, steps S21 to S27 are the same as steps S1 to S7. When the transaction data is received by executing step S27, the broker terminal 200 performs a bill issuing process according to the transaction data (step S28).

  Here, for example, in a so-called online shopping virtual store, when making a convenience store payment, there is a case where only payment at a specific convenience store can be performed. In addition, invoices that can be processed may be different for each convenience store. For this reason, in this embodiment, a code or the like that can be recognized in advance between the broker and the client so that a specific convenience store can be recognized is input to “Remarks” in the input area 628 shown in FIG. The broker creates a bill corresponding to the convenience store in accordance with the code entered in the “remarks” in the input area 628 when the bill is issued.

  The intermediary transmits the created invoice to the customer by mail or the like (step S29). When the customer brings the bill to the convenience store and pays the bill, the customer makes a settlement request to the corresponding financial operator terminals 400a to 400c (step S39). The subsequent processing is the same as steps S12 to S14 described in FIG. 4 (steps S31 to S33).
