Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce a settlement fee as much as possible, while preventing the chain of settlement defaults. <P>SOLUTION: A settlement request is divided into a pre-task about fund transfer from a payment source to a settlement center and a post-task about fund transfer from the settlement center to payment destination, so that the post-task is not processed unless the pre-task is processed. Thus, the chain of settlement defaults is prevented. Furthermore, it is possible to process the post-task, which has been made to be processable, together with the pre-task, and it is possible to summarize the tasks when the payment source and the payment destination are the same. Therefore, it is possible to expect the reduction of the settlement sum and the settlement frequency by summarization. Furthermore, it is also possible to reduce the settlement fee, by setting the bank account of the settlement center in each bank to achieve transfer in the same bank. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a payment processing technique.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when various payments are generated between users A to C, if there is an account in the same bank (for example, bank A), remittance can be made with a relatively low fee. Similarly, when various payments are generated between the users D to F, if there is an account in the same bank (for example, bank B), the remittance can be made at a relatively low fee. However, when transferring money between different banks, such as user B to user D and user C to user F, a high fee must be paid.

  In recent years, opening of merchandise stores on the Internet, accepting orders from customers, and net sales such as delivering products by courier have become widespread, and credit cards, Various methods such as bank transfer and cash on delivery are used. However, a credit card has a high fee and a heavy burden on the store side. In addition, in the case of bank transfer, the store account only needs to be in the same bank, but if the transfer must be made to a different bank account, the customer must bear a high fee as described above. Don't be. Even in the case of cash on delivery, the fee is high and the store or customer must bear the fee.

  Various conventional techniques exist for such settlement. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-3374 discloses the following system as the prior art. In other words, the centralized payment system is used to net debts and debts through the network within the group to improve financial efficiency. More specifically, first, each group company puts billing and payment-related data on the network online or via a mailbox, and transmits it to the partner company. The partner company confirms the contents and sends payment data, which is settlement confirmation data, to the intermediary organization. The intermediary agency aggregates the data sent from each company in the same way, nets it, sends the settlement data to each company, sends the netted data to the financial institution, and is dedicated to the intermediary institution established in the financial institution The clearing butt is exchanged between the account and the account of each company. Eventually, each group company receives a deposit / withdrawal notice from a financial institution, and payment between group companies is completed.

  On the other hand, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-3374, since only receivable / debt information is exchanged and netting is performed based only on it, even if the current payer's debt is too large Regardless, netting is performed to calculate clearing data, and payment may be made based on this. In particular, in this publication, “In the case of a centralized payment system, the failure of a participant's payment to ripple through other participants. In other words, if the payment amount of a company participating in the network increases, In order to avoid this, the payment confirmation data that the payment company receives and sends payment data is the debt data. Is transferred to the netting process execution unit of the intermediary agency, and the settlement confirmation data, the threshold value stored in advance in the threshold storage unit of the intermediary agency, and the settlement data stored in the netting information storage unit of the intermediary agency Whether the netting process is actually executed on both the paying and receiving sides that are the parties Tell, is set to. However, it does not fundamentally prevent the chain of payment defaults.

  In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-316790, most of the conventional transfer remittances are transferred to other banks, so there is a situation in which the fee is higher than that of the bank transfer, and the bank transfer is performed to reduce the fee. It points out the problem that the number of financial institutions to deal with becomes enormous and the procedures and management become complicated. And in order to solve this, the transfer remittance system according to this gazette includes a means for acquiring transfer remittance request data including information of at least the recipient and the receiving financial institution from the transfer remittance consignor, and the acquired transfer Means for determining the validity of the remittance request data, means for determining the destination financial institution based on the target financial institution included in the transfer remittance request data determined to be valid by the validity determination means, and determination of the destination financial institution The means for creating the instruction data for executing the transfer remittance to the destination financial institution having the recipient's account for the destination financial institution determined by the means, and the execution instruction data created by the execution instruction data creating means Means for transmitting to the institution. The technology described in this publication shows a configuration in which each transfer is converted to a self-transfer as much as possible from the viewpoint of reducing the fee, and the number of transfers is not reduced.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-272469 discloses a method for server processing related to settlement by acquiring in advance a guarantee of charge collection for a plurality of transactions to be netted in advance, and settlement of a plurality of transactions collectively. A technique for reducing the load is disclosed. Specifically, when the first payment request in the netting period is received from the user's terminal, the credit amount guaranteed by the financial institution is stored in the credit amount storage area, and the amount of the payment request received from the user's terminal is stored. The balance is rewritten by adding to or subtracting from the credit amount storage area. Then, after the elapse of the netting target period, an amount obtained by subtracting the balance in the credit amount storage area from the credit amount is calculated, and the settlement amount is notified to the server of the financial institution in order to settle the subtracted amount. With this technology, credit is difficult, and if credit does not work after all, payment default may occur and this may lead to a chain.

  Further, JP-A-2002-329155 discloses not only a countervailing settlement process between two companies but also an offsetting settlement between companies having a predetermined relationship of three or more companies by a computer. A technique for reducing the remittance fee and improving the efficiency of various paperwork is disclosed. Specifically, a server holding a data file that can be viewed from a plurality of trading departments that perform mutual business transactions through a network is provided, and in this server, all the mutual transactions of a plurality of trading departments that execute mutual business transactions are provided. The primary settlement process that calculates the cumulative value of the amount of debt and the amount of receivables for the specified period between all trading departments by referring to the order history that recorded the transaction amount related to the transaction and the recorded transaction amount for the specified period , And use the result of this temporary settlement process to calculate the amount of debt or receivable of each trading department for this virtual trading partner when the entire system including all the trading departments above is the virtual trading partner. The offset history that records the results of executing the secondary settlement process, and any trading department that has a claim against the virtual business partner from any trading department that bears the debt to the virtual business partner On the other hand, the transfer destination determination history that recorded the result of executing the process to determine the remittance amount to be remittance within the range of its own debt amount, and the approval that recorded the approval processing result of the offsetting process including the above remittance amount of each department A history is retained. However, this technique may not always reduce the payment effort, and if payment failure occurs, the effect may spread.

  Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-215893 discloses that, when a customer performs a remittance procedure for each transaction bank for each transaction, the customer needs to pay a fee for each remittance. We focus on the problem that the remittance fee is heavy. Then, the customer terminal transmits information including a request for remittance and a remittance amount. When the remittance management system receives the above information from the customer terminal, the remittance management system confirms the remittance destination and notifies the customer terminal of the deposit destination using the notification unit. The remittance destination notified here is the first account. When the customer terminal receives the notification of the payment destination from the remittance management system, the customer terminal displays the payment destination. Then, when the payment is completed, the customer terminal transmits a notification to that effect to the money transfer management system. Then, the remittance management system confirms whether or not the received deposit has actually been made in the first account which is an account managed by itself. When the remittance management system confirms the payment, the remittance management system stores predetermined data in the remittance database. Then, the remittance management system converts the remittance source from the remittance source account to the second account using the remittance source conversion unit. Then, it is confirmed whether there is another remittance from the second account to the remittance account among the remittances classified by the classification unit in the same period. When there is another remittance from the second account to the remittance destination account, the remittance management system uses the remittance synthesis unit, reduction amount calculation unit, and cost setting unit to synthesize the remittance and synthesize the remittance. Notify the terminal. Here, the notified information includes not only the result of comparing the fee reduction amount and the cost by remittance synthesis, but also the fact that the remittance date differs from the remittance date designated by the customer by remittance synthesis. Then, the customer terminal displays a remittance composition notification, and transmits a confirmation notice when the customer confirms and approves the remittance composition. When receiving the confirmation notification from the customer terminal, the remittance management system instructs remittance to the second account using the instruction unit. Basically, in the technique of this publication, remittance synthesis is performed for the same customer, and there is no spillover of settlement failure, but the spillover of settlement failure is not considered. Moreover, since remittance is combined only for the same customer, the overall fee reduction effect is not significant.

  As mentioned above, there is a system in which an intermediary organization is set up between the remittance source and the remittance to make payment, but in such a system, a fundamental measure to prevent the chain of payment defaults Is not given. In addition, there are some cases that can prevent the chain of payment defaults, but the effect of reducing commissions is limited accordingly.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a technique for reducing a settlement fee as much as possible while preventing a chain of settlement failures.

  The settlement processing method according to the present invention includes: (A) a payment request and a billing request including one or more withdrawal sources and amounts and one or more receipt destinations and amounts from a customer terminal, and a request data storage unit And (B) the payment request and the billing request stored in the request data storage unit from the one withdrawal source on the withdrawal side to the settlement center on the deposit side on the first processing day. The one or more first tasks to be transferred and the one or more second tasks for transferring funds from the settlement center which is the withdrawal side to the one payment destination which is the deposit side are divided into one or more first tasks Storing job data including task data and one or a plurality of second task data in the job data storage unit; and (C) a processing reference date of job data stored in the job data storage unit is As the processing date The first task and the second task that have been set are extracted, and the funds transfer amount of the first task and the second task in which the combination of the withdrawal side and the deposit side is the same is aggregated and bundled Generating bundle data including an identifier, withdrawal side identification data, deposit side identification data, aggregate settlement amount, and aggregated first and second task identifiers, and storing the bundle data in a bundle data storage unit; (D) a step of outputting a settlement request based on the bundle data stored in the bundle data storage unit to the financial institution computer; and (E) processing of the settlement request when the settlement request processing result is received from the financial institution computer. Reflecting the result in the bundle data stored in the bundle data storage unit and related to the processing result of the settlement request; (F) When the identifier of the first task is included in the identifier of the task included in the bundle data whose logical result indicates successful payment, the first of the job data stored in the job data storage unit. Setting a second processing date in the data of the second task corresponding to the task.

  By performing (B), the payment request and the billing request are broken down into a first task for transferring funds to the settlement center and a second task for transferring funds from the settlement center. In order to prevent a chain of payment defaults, it is necessary to preferentially process the first task corresponding to payment to the payment center after performing the disassembly in this way. Therefore, for the first task, the first processing date is set in (B), and for the second task, if the successful settlement is confirmed for the corresponding first task in (F), the second processing date is set. Set the processing date. Furthermore, in (C), the first task and the second task whose processing reference date is set as the processing date, and the combination of the withdrawal side and the depositing side is the same. By consolidating the two tasks, it is possible to effectively reduce the number of settlements and reduce settlement fees. By providing a settlement center account at each bank, it is possible to cope with the transfer within the same bank, and the effect of reducing the fee is increased.

  In addition, when the first task identifier is included in the task identifier included in the bundle data whose processing result indicates unsuccessful settlement, the present settlement processing method is stored in the job data storage unit. A third processing date after the processing execution date is set in the data of the first task and the customer corresponding to the withdrawal side identification data included in the bundle data whose processing result indicates unsuccessful settlement And a step of outputting a warning indicating unsuccessful settlement to the address. If payment failure is confirmed for the first task, the processing date is changed to a later date (that is, the third processing date) for the first task, and the customer on the withdrawal side This is a warning. If it fails even once, the first task may not be settled again. In any case, when the settlement fails for the first task, the processing date is not set for the corresponding second task. This can prevent a chain of payment defaults.

  Further, the data of the first task may include identification data on the withdrawal side, identification data on the deposit side, a positive amount, and a first processing date. At that time, if the second task data is registered as successful payment for the first task corresponding to the deposit side identification data, the withdrawal side identification data, and the negative amount, the second task The processing date may be included. In this way, the process (C) is facilitated. Note that the data of the first and second tasks may include the processing result when the processing result of the settlement request is received for the task. This makes it easier to identify the problem later.

  When the processing reference date is the processing execution date, when the task identifier included in the bundle data whose processing result indicates unsuccessful settlement includes the second task identifier, A fourth processing date after the processing execution date may be set in the second task data stored in the job data storage unit. On the other hand, when the processing reference date is a date before the processing execution date, the identifier of the second task is included in the task identifier included in the bundle data in which the processing result indicates unsuccessful settlement The second processing date set in the data of the second task stored in the job data storage unit is maintained, or a fourth processing date after the processing execution date is set. Good. As a result, the second tasks related to unsuccessful settlement can be aggregated later in (C). Note that the unsuccessful settlement for the second task is influenced by the first task integrated together, and is basically a task that can be performed without any problem. Therefore, by changing or maintaining the processing date according to the definition of the processing reference date, the processing is appropriately performed in the later processing (C).

  It is possible to create a program for causing a computer to carry out the processes described above, and the program can be read by a computer such as a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, a magneto-optical disk, a semiconductor memory, and a hard disk. Stored in a storage medium or storage device. Note that data being processed is temporarily stored in a storage device such as a computer memory.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce a settlement fee as much as possible while preventing a chain of settlement failures.

  FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of funds transfer in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, for example, participating users A to C who have an account in bank A can transfer funds to other bank accounts such as bank B. Transfer funds to and from a settlement center account. Similarly, the participating users D to F who have an account in the bank B transfer funds with the account of the settlement center in the bank B even if the funds transfer with other bank accounts such as the bank A. Do. By doing so, interbank transfer can be eliminated as much as possible, and the settlement fee can be reduced. It may be necessary to transfer funds between, for example, a bank A settlement center account and a bank B settlement center account. This is because funds may be accumulated in one account and the balance may be insufficient in the other account. Such a transfer of funds between accounts at a settlement center is separately processed by preparing some monitoring means, and is not described in the present embodiment.

  In some cases, the account of the participating user G may be in a bank C that does not have a settlement center account. In such a case, as an exception, for example, funds are transferred to and from a bank A settlement center account. Although this embodiment allows such an exception, in principle, it is assumed that funds are transferred between a settlement center account and a participating user account provided in the same bank.

  Further, in the present embodiment, not only simple transfer, that is, transfer of funds from one withdrawal source account to another destination's deposit destination account, but also billing, that is, from another person's withdrawal source account to one's own destination account. To be able to handle the transfer of funds.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), payment of a yen from user A to user B, payment of b yen from user A to user C, and payment of c yen from user A to user D Assume that the user C requests the user C to request the user C to pay the d circle, the user C to the user F to charge the e circle, and the user C to the user G to charge the f circle.

  In the present embodiment, it is divided into a pre-task for transferring funds from the user to the settlement center and a post-task for transferring funds from the settlement center to the user. By adopting the condition that when the pre-task generated by this decomposition is not processed, the corresponding post-task is not processed, it becomes possible to prevent a chain of payment defaults.

  For example, when there is a request as shown in FIG. 3A, as shown in FIG. 3B, the previous task for transferring funds of a yen from the user A to the settlement center, and the user A Pre-task for transferring b yen funds from user to settlement center, Pre-task for transferring c yen funds from user A to payment center, and Pre-task for transferring d yen funds from user E to payment center And a previous task for transferring funds of e yen from the user F to the settlement center and a previous task for transferring funds of f yen from the user G to the settlement center.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 (c), a post-task for the transfer of funds of a yen from the settlement center to the user B, and a post-task for the transfer of funds of b yen from the settlement center to the user C; , A post-task for the transfer of c yen funds from the settlement center to the user D, a post-task for the transfer of d yen funds from the settlement center to the user C, and a funds transfer of e yen from the settlement center to the user C A post-task and a post-task for transferring funds of f yen from the settlement center to the user C are generated.

  The previous task shown in FIG. 3B is generated when the payment shown in FIG. 3A is regarded as three job units. When the payment is generated as one job unit, the user A One previous task is generated for the transfer of funds of (a + b + c) yen from to the settlement center. Similarly, the post-task shown in FIG. 3C is generated when the request of FIG. 3A is regarded as three job units, and is settled when generated as one job unit. One post task for the transfer of funds of (d + e + f) yen from the center to the user C is generated. In the detailed description to be described later, the latter is adopted. However, if the tasks are generated in such a subdivided form, there is an advantage that the number of tasks to be retained in the case of failure in settlement is reduced. On the other hand, since the amount of data to be held increases, which one to use can be determined in operation.

  Thereafter, as described above, the previous task is preferentially processed. However, if the corresponding pre-task can be settled normally, the post-task can also be processed. In the example of FIG. 3, the previous tasks related to the combination of the same user and the settlement center are collected. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4A, when all the previous tasks for transferring funds from the user A to the settlement center are summarized, a bundle for transferring funds of (a + b + c) yen from the user A to the settlement center. Generate data. In addition, since the previous tasks regarding the transfer of funds from the users E to G to the settlement center cannot be aggregated, bundle data is generated individually. Based on this bundle data, each bank is caused to carry out a transfer process.

  If the settlement processing based on bundle data as shown in FIG. 4A is normally completed, in the example of FIG. 3, post-tasks related to the combination of the same user and the settlement center are collected. At this stage, if there is a previous task for a request received later, it is aggregated together. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4B, bundle data is generated for the transfer of (b + d + e + f) yen funds from the settlement center to the user C. Since post-tasks regarding the transfer of funds from the settlement center to the users B and D cannot be aggregated, bundle data is generated individually. Based on this bundle data, each bank is caused to carry out a transfer process.

  In this way, the settlement fee can be suppressed by collecting tasks as much as possible while preventing the chain of settlement failure.

  If payment processing based on bundle data regarding the transfer of e-yen funds from the user F to the payment center fails, the corresponding post-task, e-yen fund transfer from the payment center to the user C, will be described. Post-tasks are not subject to aggregation. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), instead of the second bundle data in FIG. 4 (b), it becomes bundle data for (b + d + f) yen money transfer from the settlement center to the user C. As described above, when there is only one post task for transferring funds from the settlement center to the user C, as shown in FIG. 4D, FIG. Instead of the second bundle data, bundle data for the transfer of funds of c yen from the settlement center to the user C is generated. Based on this bundle data, each bank is caused to carry out a transfer process.

  A system for specifically realizing the basic operation as described above will be described below.

  FIG. 5 shows an overview of the system according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the Internet and other computer networks 1 include a settlement center server 3 that performs main processing in the present embodiment, a plurality of user terminals A to D, and a plurality of banks E to G. Servers E to G are connected. The bank servers E to G will not be described any more because there are no problems with computers currently used in banks, for example. The number is also arbitrary. Further, the user terminals A to D are personal computers on which application programs such as Web browsers are executed, and no special functions are required. The number is also arbitrary. However, it may be a settlement server instead of the terminal device. In this case, it is only necessary to have a function of transmitting data as described below to the settlement center server 3. The computer network 1 may be separated into, for example, a network that connects the settlement center server 3 and the user terminals A to D and a network that connects the settlement center server 3 and the bank servers E to G.

  Next, the configuration of the settlement center server 3 is shown in FIG. The settlement center server 3 includes a request receiving unit 31 that receives payment requests and billing requests from the user terminals A to D, a request data storage unit 32 that stores request data received by the request receiving unit 31, and data about users. A user data storage unit 34 to store, an unbundling processing unit 33 that performs processing for generating data of the previous task and the subsequent task using the data stored in the user data storage unit 34 and the request data storage unit 32, A job table storage unit 36 for storing the processing results of the unbundling processing unit 33, and a confirmation processing unit for confirming settlement for the user using data stored in the user data storage unit 34 and the job table storage unit 36 35, a status that can be processed using the data stored in the user data storage unit 34 and the job table storage unit 36. A bundle processing unit 38 that performs bundle processing for aggregating the data, a bundle table storage unit 39 that stores bundle data generated by the bundle processing unit 38, and data stored in the bundle table storage unit 39. A settlement table storage unit 40 for storing data generated by the bundle processing unit 38 and transmitted to the bank servers E to G, and data stored in the settlement table storage unit 40 to the bank servers E to G; Bank server interface unit 41 that receives the processing result of the settlement processing from bank servers E to G and reflects the processing result in bundle table storage unit 39, bundle table storage unit 39, user data storage unit 34, and request data storage unit The job table is updated using the data stored in 32. And a Yobuteburu updating unit 37.

  The job table updating unit 37 performs processing in cooperation with the bank server interface unit 41 and the bundle processing unit 38.

  For example, data as shown in FIG. 7 is stored in the user data storage unit 34. In the example of FIG. 7, a user ID, a user name, bank account data, an email address, a default counter, and a rating are registered for each user. The default counter is a counter for counting the number of times the settlement process has failed, and the rating is determined according to the value of the default counter. The rating is used, for example, to determine a period after the previous task is completed until the subsequent task is executed. In addition, user data to be managed by the settlement center is stored.

  Next, processing contents of the system shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, for example, the user A operates the user terminal A to cause the user terminal A to transmit a payment request or a billing request to the settlement center server 3. The payment request includes one or more sets of withdrawal data including a withdrawal source user ID, a withdrawal date, and a withdrawal amount, and deposit data including a receipt destination user ID, a withdrawal date, and a withdrawal amount. Further, the billing request includes one or more sets of payment data including the payment destination user ID, the payment date, and the payment amount, and payment data including the payment source user ID, the payment date, and the payment amount. .

  In order to make the following description easy to understand, it is assumed that the payment request and the billing request as shown in FIGS. 9A to 9D are processed. In the payment request of FIG. 9A, the user ID of the withdrawal source is “A”, the withdrawal date is “April 1, 2009”, and the withdrawal amount is “70,000 yen”, The user ID of the deposit destination is “C”, the deposit date is “April 3, 2009”, and the deposit amount is “70,000 yen”. In the payment request of FIG. 9B, the user ID of the withdrawal source is “C”, the withdrawal date is “April 1, 2009”, the withdrawal amount is “150,000 yen”, The user ID of the deposit destination is “A”, the deposit date is “April 3, 2009”, the deposit amount is “40,000 yen”, the user ID of the deposit destination is “B”, and the deposit The date is “April 3, 2009”, the deposit amount is “50,000 yen”, the user ID of the deposit destination is “D”, and the deposit date is “April 3, 2009” The deposit amount is “60,000 yen”.

  In the billing request of FIG. 9C, the user ID of the deposit destination is “D”, the deposit date is “April 6, 2009”, the deposit amount is “80,000 yen”, and the withdrawal source The user ID is “C”, the withdrawal date is “April 3, 2009”, and the withdrawal amount is “80,000 yen”. In the billing request in FIG. 9D, the user ID of the deposit destination is “B”, the deposit date is “April 3, 2009”, the deposit amount is “60,000 yen”, and the withdrawal source And the withdrawal date is “April 1, 2009”, the withdrawal amount is “10,000 yen”, the withdrawal source user ID is “C”, The withdrawal date is “April 1, 2009”, the withdrawal amount is “20,000 yen”, the user ID of the withdrawal source is “D”, and the withdrawal date is “April 1, 2009”. The withdrawal amount is “30,000 yen”.

  The request receiving unit 31 of the settlement center server 3 receives, for example, a payment request or a billing request from the user terminal A and stores it in the request data storage unit 32 (FIG. 8: Step S1). At this stage, a job number may be issued and registered for each request, and the request source user terminal may be notified. Then, the unbundle processing unit 33 generates payment request or billing request job data stored in the request data storage unit 32, and stores the job data in the job table storage unit 36 (step S3). FIG. 10 shows an example of job data corresponding to the payment request and billing request shown in FIG.

  FIG. 10A shows job data corresponding to the payment request shown in FIG. The job data in FIG. 10A includes serially assigned job number “3”, the number of generated previous tasks “1”, the number of generated subsequent tasks “1”, and the data of the previous task. And post-task data. As for the serially assigned job number, the same number is registered in the corresponding request data stored in the request data storage unit 32. In the case of FIG. 9A, one pre-task for transferring funds to the settlement center and one post-task for transferring funds from the settlement center are generated. The format of the data of the previous task and the data of the subsequent task is basically the same, and includes the number, the request date, the account information 1, the account information 2, the amount, the processing date, and the result. ing. In the present embodiment, “Center” (settlement center) is set in the account information 2 in both the previous task and the subsequent task, a positive value is set in the previous task, and a negative value is set in the subsequent task. Set the value. As a result, when the previous task and the subsequent task are aggregated in the subsequent bundle process, the tasks that can be aggregated can be easily specified, and the amount can be simply added. Also, since the previous task and the subsequent task have a correspondence relationship, the correspondence relationship can be determined by the previous task number and the subsequent task number. For example, the previous task number is represented by job number + B + task number, and the subsequent task is represented by job number + A + task number. That is, if the job number is the same, the correspondence between “A” and “B” is known. In the example of FIG. 10A, the previous task number is “3B1” and the subsequent task number is “3A1”. As the request date of the previous task, the request date included in the request is set as it is. However, the unbundling processing unit 33 may automatically set a predetermined date after the request reception date. As the request date of the subsequent task, since it cannot be determined that the corresponding previous task is not normally executed, an appropriate future date (3000 in FIG. 10) is set. In the account information 1 of the previous task, the user ID of the withdrawal source in the request (or bank account information read by the unbundle processing unit 33 from the user data storage unit 34) is set. In the post-task account information 1, the user ID (or bank account information) of the deposit destination in the request is set.

  Job data corresponding to the payment request in FIG. 9B is shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 9B, there is one pre-task for the transfer of funds to the settlement center and three post-tasks for the transfer of funds from the settlement center. The data structure of the previous task and the data structure of the subsequent task are the same as in FIG. The previous task number of the previous task is “2B1” because the job number is “2”, and the subsequent task numbers of the subsequent task are “2A1”, “2A2”, and “2A3”.

  Similarly, job data corresponding to the billing request in FIG. 9C is shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 9 (c), there is one pre-task for transferring funds to the settlement center and one post-task for transferring funds from the settlement center. The data structure of the previous task and the data structure of the subsequent task are the same as in FIG. The previous task number of the previous task is “4B1” because the job number is “4”, and the subsequent task number of the subsequent task is “4A1”.

  Note that a billing request must not be processed unless the billing request has been approved by the demandee. If the operation of transmitting a billing request to the settlement center server 3 is established after the billing side or the demanded party obtains approval from the demanded side, no special processing is required in the settlement center server 3. When processing after obtaining the requestee's approval in the settlement center server 3, for example, registering data indicating "approval required", for example, without registering the request date included in the request for the request for the previous task Keep it. Then, when the confirmation processing unit 35 confirms the “request date” included in the data of the previous task newly registered in the job table storage unit 36 and identifies data representing “approval required” , The approval request destination user's e-mail address is identified from the data of “account information 1”, and includes the billing user name and user ID and job number identified from the amount of the previous task, “account information 1” of the subsequent task Send confirmation email. The request data storage unit 32 may be accessed, and the withdrawal “request date” may be included in the confirmation mail. When the approval request destination user operates the user terminal and approves based on the confirmation mail, for example, the approval request destination user accesses the confirmation processing unit 35 of the settlement center server 3 and registers the approval. When the confirmation processing unit 35 accepts the registration of approval, the confirmation processing unit 35 registers a date after a predetermined date from the approval registration date, for example, the request date of the previous task of the corresponding job. When the withdrawal “request date” included in the request is made in time, the withdrawal “request date” may be registered. On the other hand, when rejecting, the user terminal is operated to access the confirmation processing unit 35 of the settlement center server 3 to register the rejection. If the confirmation processing unit 35 receives registration of rejection, the confirmation processing unit 35 searches the user data storage unit 34 with the billing source user ID specified from the “account information 1” of the post-task of the corresponding job, and the corresponding mail address And send a rejection notice including the job number by e-mail. Further, the default counter in the record for the billing user ID is incremented by a predetermined value. This is because when a request that is rejected is registered, there is a problem in the same way as settlement failure. Rejected job data may be deleted at this stage, but it will not be processed unless a date is set on the request date of the previous task, so keep it as it is, for example, “Result” of the corresponding previous task "Rejection" data may be registered in "" and referred to later. A refusal date may be registered on the implementation date.

  Further, job data corresponding to the billing request in FIG. 9D is shown in FIG. As can be seen from FIG. 9D, there are three pre-tasks for transferring funds to the settlement center and one post-task for transferring funds from the settlement center. The data structure of the previous task and the data structure of the subsequent task are the same as in FIG. The previous task number of the previous task is “1B1”, “1B2”, and “1B3” because the job number is “1”, and the subsequent task number of the subsequent task is “1A1”. Matters related to approval are as described above. For the request date of the previous task, if a request for billing has been received after approval, the request date included in the request for billing is registered, and the request for billing is requested before approval. If so, register a date a predetermined number of days after the approval date as described above. If possible, the withdrawal “request date” may be registered.

  Even in the case of job data for a billing request, as in the case of job data for a payment request, the “request date” is set to a future value that is impossible at first, or not registered for the post-task. This ensures the priority of the previous task.

  In FIG. 8, steps S1 and S3 are performed asynchronously with the following processing, but are described as a connected processing flow for convenience of description.

  Returning to the description of FIG. 8, the bundle processing unit 38 specifies the processing execution date (step S5). For example, the current date is specified as the execution date on the system clock. Then, the bundle processing unit 38 extracts task data whose request date is before the processing execution date from the job table storage unit 36 (step S7). If data as shown in FIG. 10 is stored in the job table storage unit 36 and the processing execution date is “April 1, 2009”, task data as shown in FIG. 11 is extracted. Is done. In the example of FIG. 10, since the request date has not been set for the later task, only the previous task with “April 1” as the request date is extracted. That is, the task data of the previous task numbers “1B1”, “1B2”, “1B3”, “2B1”, and “3B1”. Since the request date of the previous task data of the previous task number “4B1” is “April 3”, it is not extracted this time.

  After that, the bundle processing unit 38 sets “account information 1” and “account information 2” in the extracted task data, that is, for each combination of a withdrawal source and a destination (substantially “account information 1 in the present embodiment). ]), Bundle data is generated by aggregating the task data, and registered in the bundle table storage unit 39 (step S9). This is to reduce the number of settlements by collecting deposits and withdrawals between the same accounts. As a result, the settlement fee can be reduced. When the task data as shown in FIG. 11 is extracted, the task data is classified as shown in FIG. That is, a group in which “account information 1” is “A”, a group in which “account information 1” is “C”, and a group in which “account information 1” is “D”. As can be seen from FIG. 12, the task data of the same group differ only in task number and amount. Although the request date may be different as described below, it does not have a significant meaning in step S9. Amounts are aggregated by simply adding. When task data is aggregated for each group in FIG. 12, bundle data as shown in FIG. 13 is generated. As can be seen from FIG. 13, the bundle data includes the bundle number, the request date, the account information 1 of the payment destination or withdrawal source, the account information 2 representing the settlement center, the amount that is the total amount of the aggregated tasks, and the processing execution date. The result includes the number of tasks aggregated and the task number aggregated. The bundle number is composed of, for example, a date + serial number. The task number is enumerated by the number of aggregated tasks.

  Further, the bundle processing unit 38 generates payment data from the data stored in the user data storage unit 34 and the bundle data newly registered in the bundle table storage unit 39, and registers it in the payment table storage unit 40 (step S11). ). The settlement data is data in accordance with the well-known Zengin file format as shown in FIG. 15 (when applied to general transfer, salary transfer, bonus transfer) and FIG. 16 (in the case of account transfer). Further, the payment data is schematically shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 14, one or more sets of settlement data identifiers (Abk and the like) and transfer data (including bundle numbers) are included in association with the request date. The bundle number is included in the dummy field of the header record as shown in FIGS. For data that cannot be extracted from bundle data in the transfer data, data stored in the user data storage unit 34 is used. As for the account number of the settlement center, an account of the same bank as the bank where the deposit is made or withdrawn is used. The generation of data as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 is well known, and in this embodiment, it can be generated by appropriately selecting the account number of the settlement center including the bundle number, and will not be described further.

  Then, the bank server interface unit 41 reads the settlement data registered in the settlement table storage unit 40 and whose request date is the current day, and the bank server (destination finance) corresponding to the settlement data via the network 1. It transmits to the bank server of the bank corresponding to the institution number (step S13). This part is also well known and will not be described further. The processing shifts to the processing in FIG.

  Shifting to the description of the processing in FIG. 17, the bank server interface unit 41 receives the settlement result data from the bank server, and stores it in a storage device such as a main memory (step S15). For example, settlement result data as shown in FIG. 18 is received. In the example of FIG. 18, the identifier of the settlement data, the processing execution date, and the result are included. Although not shown, a bundle number may be included.

  Thereafter, the bank server interface unit 41 registers the processing execution date and the result in the bundle data corresponding to the settlement result data in the bundle table storage unit 39 (step S17). The corresponding bundle data is identified by, for example, an identifier of settlement data, and the bundle number is identified by searching the settlement table storage unit 40 or the bundle number included in the settlement result data is used. In the case of the settlement result data as shown in FIG. 18, since all settlements are successful, “April 1” is registered as the processing date of the corresponding bundle data as shown in FIG. At the same time, “1” indicating success is registered as a result. Then, the bank server interface unit 41 notifies the job table update unit 37 of the bundle number and processing execution date related to the settlement result data.

  Thereafter, the job table update unit 37 specifies the corresponding bundle data in the bundle table storage unit 39 from the bundle number related to the settlement result data, specifies the corresponding task number, and sets the corresponding task number in the job table storage unit 36. The task data is specified, and the execution date and result are registered in the task data (step S19). In the example of FIG. 19, the corresponding task numbers are “1B1”, “3B1”, “1B2”, “2B1”, and “1B3”, and the processing execution date is “April 1”, and the result is successful. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 20, “April 1” is registered as the processing execution date of the corresponding task, and “1” indicating success is registered as the result. If unsuccessful, the result is incremented such as “Δ1” for the first time and “Δ2” for the second time.

  Furthermore, the job table update unit 37 identifies one unprocessed corresponding task data (step S21), and determines whether the result indicates success (step S23). If successful, the job table updating unit 37 indicates that the task data is the task data for the previous task, the results of all previous tasks of the same job data are successful, and the request date of the corresponding subsequent task Is not set, and if this condition is satisfied, a request date is set for the corresponding post task (step S25). Then, the process proceeds to step S35.

  In the above example, when the previous task “1B1” is processed, the other previous tasks “1B2” and “1B3” included in the same job data also indicate success. In the previous stage of FIG. Since no request date is set for “1A1”, the request date is set here. As for the request date, for example, the request data storage unit 32 may be searched by job number, the request date for the subsequent task may be specified from the corresponding request data, and the request date may be set. Alternatively, it may be set after a predetermined number of days on the processing execution date. At that time, for example, the number of days corresponding to the rating of the fund transfer destination user stored in the user data storage unit 34 may be used as the predetermined number of days. The number of days according to the rating may be held in, for example, a table format in the user data storage unit 34, for example.

  In the example of FIG. 20, since all previous tasks are also successful for “2B1”, request dates are set for the corresponding subsequent tasks “2A1”, “2A2”, and “2A3”. Similarly, since all previous tasks are also successful for “3B1”, a request date is set for the corresponding subsequent task “3A1”.

  On the other hand, if it indicates failure, the job table update unit 37 determines whether the failure has occurred a plurality of times (step S27). Whether or not it has failed a plurality of times can be determined by whether or not “Δ2” is registered in the result. If it is the first failure, the job table updating unit 37 sets a new request date for the task data related to the process (step S29). For example, a date obtained by adding a predetermined number of days to the old request date is set as a new request date. The predetermined number of days may be set according to the rating of the withdrawal source user as described above. Alternatively, it may be set by agreement with the user. Further, different days may be set for the previous task and the subsequent task. The failure of the post-task is due to the influence of the pre-task integrated together, and is basically no problem because it is a withdrawal from the settlement center. Therefore, for example, the request date of the post task may be delayed by one business day or not particularly changed. This is because if a request date before the processing execution date is set in step S7, it is extracted. On the other hand, for the previous task, the request date is changed as described above.

  Then, the job table updating unit 37 reads the withdrawal source user's email address from the user data storage unit 34 with the withdrawal source user's user ID included in the task data related to the processing, and the payment failure is unsuccessful for the email address. Is sent (step S31). The withdrawal source user performs a procedure for raising the balance of the account by the warning mail. This process is performed when the previous task is being processed. Then, the process proceeds to step S35.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the failure has occurred a plurality of times, the job table update unit 37 registers the process stop in the corresponding task data and uses the user ID of the withdrawal source user included in the task data related to the process. The mail address of the withdrawal source user is read from the user data storage unit 34, and a process stop notification mail for notifying the process stop is transmitted to the mail address (step S33). For example, data representing a process stop notification may be registered in the “request date” of the corresponding task data. The processing stop notification mail may include a job number, for example. Further, the processing may be performed without distinguishing between a plurality of failures and an initial failure. This process is also performed when the previous task is being processed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S35.

  In step S35, the job table updating unit 37 determines whether all the corresponding task data has been processed. If there is unprocessed corresponding task data, the process returns to step S21, and if all the corresponding task data has been processed. Shifts to the processing of FIG.

  When the process proceeds to the process of FIG. 21 and the process is not to be terminated, for example, when the process center is instructed by an administrator of the settlement center server 3 (step S37: No route), the process proceeds to step S5 via the terminal B. Return. On the other hand, if the process is to be terminated (step S37: Yes route), the process is terminated.

  By performing the processing as described above, the number of settlements can be reduced as much as possible while preventing a chain of settlement failures. Further, since the settlement center does not take any risk, the settlement center can be operated very easily.

  The subsequent processing will be described for the specific example described above. When data as shown in FIG. 20 is stored in the job table storage unit 36, the task data as shown in FIG. 22 is extracted by the bundle processing unit 38 when the execution date is “April 3”. . For the job data of job numbers “1” to “3”, only the subsequent task is extracted, and for the job data of job number “4”, only the previous task is extracted.

  Here, the bundle processing unit 38 aggregates task data having the same “account information 1” of the task data. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, the task data of the subsequent task numbers “1A1” and “2A2” are both collected because the withdrawal source or the destination user is “B”. Similarly, the task data of the subsequent task number “3A1” and the previous task number “4B1” are collected together because the withdrawal source or payment destination user is “C”. The task data of the subsequent task numbers “2A1” and “2A3” are not collected.

  Then, bundle data as shown in FIG. 24 is generated. Since the bundle data for the bundle numbers “20090403001”, “20090403002”, and “20090403004” are generated only from the post-task, they become bundle data for depositing to the deposit destination user. That is, the amount is negative. On the other hand, the bundle data of the bundle number “20090403003” is generated by aggregating the post-task and the pre-task, so if the post-task amount is larger than the pre-task, it becomes bundle data for payment to the user, and the post-task If the amount is smaller than the amount of the previous task, it becomes bundle data regarding the withdrawal from the user. In any case, since the absolute value of the amount is small, it becomes possible to suppress the amount of payment as in the case of netting. In some cases, the amount is “0”. When the amount reaches “0”, it is not necessary to generate settlement data, so immediately set the request date on the processing date of the corresponding job data and set “1” indicating success to the result. You can do it. In this case, the bundle processing unit 38 notifies the job table updating unit 37 of the bundle number and the processing execution date. The job table updating unit 37 may perform processing together with processing to be performed on other settlement result data in response to a notification from the bank server interface unit 41, for example.

  When job data as shown in FIG. 24 is generated, settlement data as shown in FIG. 25 is generated. That is, four pieces of settlement data including one of the bundle numbers “20090403001,” “20090403002,” “20090903003,” and “20090403004” are generated in association with the request date “April 3”.

  Then, it is assumed that the settlement data is transmitted to the bank server and the settlement data as shown in FIG. 26 is received from the bank server. As can be seen from FIG. 26, the payment failure “NG” occurs for the third payment result data. The third payment data is a bundle number “20090403003”, and the processing execution date and result are registered in the bundle data together with other successful payment result data. That is, it is updated to bundle data as shown in FIG. In FIG. 27, the processing date “April 3” and the result “1” are registered for the bundle data of the bundle numbers “20090403001”, “20090403002”, and “20090403004”. However, for the bundle data of the bundle number “20090403003”, the processing date “April 3” is registered in the same manner, but “Δ1” indicating failure is registered for the result. It can be seen that the task numbers “3A1” and “4B1” have an influence.

  Therefore, the job data stored in the job table storage unit 36 is updated as shown in FIG. In FIG. 28, a circle is added to a task related to unsuccessful settlement. The subsequent task with the subsequent task number “3A1” is affected by the previous task with the previous task number “4B1”, and the requested date is the next business day of April 3 (“+1”). Is set). On the other hand, for the previous task in question (previous task number “4B1”), n days after April 3 is set as the request date. During this time, user C must keep funds in his account. Note that the request date is not changed for the subsequent task (the subsequent task number “4A1”) corresponding to the previous task number “4B1”, so that a chain of payment default is not caused.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the post-task cannot be performed unless the previous task is implemented by separating the previous task for transferring funds to the settlement center and the subsequent task for transferring funds from the settlement center. As a result, it is possible to prevent a chain of payment defaults. Therefore, since there is no renewal of the settlement center, it is possible to avoid a situation where the risk is concentrated on the settlement center.

  Further, since the tasks for the same user can be aggregated with the previous task that can be processed with the previous task, the number of settlements and the settlement fee can be reduced.

  This embodiment can be applied not only to settlement between companies, but also to settlement between individuals and companies. For example, even when payment is made at a virtual store on the Internet, even if a credit card cannot be used, if the payment center service is used, the customer can also transfer money from his / her bank account to the same bank. Transfer fees can be reduced. In particular, in recent years, banks have also adopted a service that frees commissions for personal bank transfers for individual customers. Even if credit card payments cannot be made, shopping can be done without resistance if the transfer fee is free. It can be performed. Furthermore, the store side can also reduce the credit card fee. Similarly, a large effect can be expected when a large number of settlements are required for business-to-business transactions.

  Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the functional block diagram of FIG. 6 is an example, and does not necessarily match the actual program module configuration. Also, if the processing result does not change for the processing flow, the processing order may be changed or may be executed in parallel.

  For example, in step S7 of FIG. 8, “before the processing date” is set as the task data extraction condition. However, if the request date is appropriately set, “processing date” is set as the task data extraction condition. Can do.

  The number of executed settlement data may be stored for each user in the user data storage unit 34 and used for fee calculation.

  Note that the user terminal, the bank server, and the settlement center server 3 are computer devices, and as shown in FIG. 29, in the computer device, a memory 2501 (storage unit), a CPU 2503 (processing unit), and a hard disk drive (HDD). 2505, a display control unit 2507 connected to the display device 2509, a drive device 2513 for the removable disk 2511, an input device 2515, and a communication control unit 2517 for connecting to a network are connected by a bus 2519. Application programs including an operating system (OS) and a Web browser are stored in the HDD 2505, and are read from the HDD 2505 to the memory 2501 when executed by the CPU 2503. If necessary, the CPU 2503 controls the display control unit 2507, the communication control unit 2517, and the drive device 2513 to perform necessary operations. Further, data in the middle of processing is stored in the memory 2501 and stored in the HDD 2505 if necessary. Such a computer realizes various functions as described above by organically cooperating hardware such as the CPU 2503 and the memory 2501 described above with the OS and necessary application programs.
