Description

  The present disclosure relates to the technology for managing the engagement contents of the parties involved in the business, and in particular, for managing the engagement contents of the parties involved in the specific business.

  In recent years, by creating a new business, various activities for creating products that are valuable to consumers and providing the products to consumers have become active. For example, as a business activity, a new terminal such as a wearable device is newly created, and a web service provided via a communication terminal such as a smartphone is constructed.

  Various methods have been tried to create new value. For example, (1) A new business is conducted in a single company by a new business department, (2) A company develops a new product using knowledge, research results, intellectual property, etc. possessed by research institutions such as universities. (3) Various activities such as large enterprises with technology and facilities are recruiting a wide range of potential corporate candidates and creating new valuable products and services. To promote these activities, events such as hackathons and ideasons are also held in various places.

  Thus, even if an idea that can become a new business is created, various activities are required to commercialize the idea. Examples of the various activities include creation of a valuable product for the consumer, and activity associated with providing the created product to the consumer through a channel. For example, research and development to create products that offer new value to consumers, technology introduction from external resources, production of prototypes, publicity of created products, legal check to achieve compliance, etc. There is.

  More specifically, each activity for commercialization is defined as the activity of the person involved in the business. For example, people involved in the business move by transportation, have a meeting in a conference room, etc., or request an examination from an external testing organization. Through such specific activities, valuable products are created and provided to consumers.

  In this way, commercialization requires many activities based on physical resources such as equipment and human resources such as related parties. Costs for operating equipment, personnel such as engineers, designers, marketers, etc. It costs money. In other words, there are various risks associated with the specific commercialization of new business ideas. However, depending on the business idea, the risk may be relatively low. Some are big.

  Venture capital, etc., plays a major role as a supplier of funds and human resources as the entity responsible for such risks. In addition, depending on the business field, public institutions such as the national government and independent administrative agencies may subsidize funds for research, technology introduction, product development, prototyping, public relations, etc., rather than private capital. Typically, the government, local public organizations, independent administrative corporations, etc. are the main entities, accepting public offerings from companies and universities. And, for example, in the form of subsidizing the same amount (subsidy rate 1/2) as the expense spent by the company, or subsidizing the amount twice the expense spent by the company (subsidy rate 2/3) A grant is paid to the company.

Such subsidies play an important role as they bear risks such as research and development for commercializing new business ideas. Subsidies from public institutions are paid in advance for expenses that meet the purpose of the project after the purpose of the project has been disclosed in advance through an open call for participants. For this reason, companies that use subsidies are usually required to report to the subsidized companies how much of the expenses for various activities that are permitted for subsidies. It is done.

  For example, if it is allowed to record personnel expenses in the subsidized business, the company will indicate how long the parties engaged in the business that has been subsidized. It may be required to record the working hours in units and then total the working hours for one month and report the counting results to the subsidized business operator. This is because the parties involved in the projects that are implemented with subsidies are often involved in a plurality of businesses in a company, and not all of the plurality of businesses are involved in subsidies. For example, a worker may not have engaged in a grant-related business using all of the working hours of the day.

  As described above, it is required to divide the contents of engagement related to the business in detail. In particular, if the grant is public, there is a strong demand for clarifying how the grant will be used.

  Conventionally, as a technique for managing the working status of business workers belonging to companies or the like, there is, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-222604 (Patent Document 1). Patent Document 1 describes a technique that contributes to personnel evaluation by subdividing and managing the engagement time for each work process. According to Patent Document 1, it is described that a server terminal acquires operation records of various applications used by a user and generates man-hour data from the operation records.

JP 2008-226054 A

  According to the technique of Patent Document 1, for example, operation records such as when the browser is activated and when the word processor is deactivated are acquired. However, the parties involved in multiple businesses do not always use different applications for each business. For example, for any of a plurality of businesses, a general-purpose application may be used to engage in business. Specifically, a worker involved in a plurality of businesses may use a word processor to collect information using a browser and create a report or the like for any business.

  Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can more easily manage the contents of engagement of the parties involved in the business. In addition, for example, in order to report the engagement contents to the project entity such as the subsidy project, the specific engagement contents related to the specific project such as the subsidy project (for example, the engagement contents to be subsidized) from the activities of related parties. There is a need for technology that makes output easier. An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique for more easily managing the engagement contents such as the engagement time of the persons engaged in the subsidy business.

According to one aspect of the embodiments shown in the present disclosure, a computer-implemented method for managing a user's business situation is provided. In this method, the computer acquires the registered content of the user's calendar, the step of sorting the registered content of the user's calendar based on information associated with a predetermined business, and the computer sorts the registered content of the user's calendar. And informing the user of the sorted result.

  According to another embodiment, a program executed on a computer for managing a user's business situation is provided. The program is executed by a computer including a processor and a memory, so that the processor acquires the registered contents of the user's calendar and sorts the registered contents of the user's calendar based on information associated with a predetermined business. And a step of notifying a user of a sorting result obtained by sorting the registered contents of the user's calendar by the computer.

  According to another embodiment, an information processing apparatus for managing a user's business situation is provided.

That is, in the management system, various expenses related to the business are managed. This expense includes personnel expenses, transportation expenses, test and research expenses, article purchase expenses, etc. of related parties. The management system manages expenses in conjunction with the schedules of parties involved in the business. In addition, the management system identifies which business the related person's schedule relates to. This makes it easier for the parties involved to manage the expenses recorded in the business.

  (1) Personnel expenses: Personnel expenses of related persons are determined by, for example, the time that the persons concerned engaged in a specific business and the personnel expenses per unit time (unit price per hour). Therefore, by managing the time engaged in a specific business among various businesses related to the related parties, the personnel costs of the related parties in the specific business are required.

  (2) Transportation expenses: The transportation expenses of the parties involved in the business are, for example, by specifying the movement route of the concerned party, and the transportation system used on the movement route (travel distance of railway lines, bus routes, taxis) Can be specified, and is calculated based on the result of specifying the transportation system. For example, the management system can enter the starting point and the ending point of the movement of the person concerned for the service that provides the transfer guidance information, so that it can move using any transportation and how much time and transportation cost. Can get. The management system of this embodiment manages the registered contents of the parties' calendars, and based on the registered contents (business trip destination information, conference room information, etc.) By specifying the route, it is possible to specify the transportation cost used as an expense by the related parties.

  (3) Usage fee associated with the use of a predetermined facility: Depending on the business, the business does not have the equipment necessary for research and development, and it is necessary to use the facility with the equipment. It may become. For example, in order to perform machining such as machining and excavation, a prototype in a predetermined factory may be required. In addition, there are facilities such as large accelerators and very expensive inspection devices that are difficult for private operators to own alone and are premised on shared use. In order to use such facilities, the user may pay a fee. The management system of this embodiment specifies that the parties involved in the business are located in such a facility from the registered contents of the calendar (for example, in the details of the schedule registered in the calendar, the location information is determined by the user). It can be estimated that the related person has used the facility (for example, the user is charged a fee each time the facility is used).

In addition to this, expenses that are allowed to be recorded by subsidies are summarized in public application guidelines etc. that the subsidized business entity publicizes to companies. The public application guideline describes the purpose of the public application and items that can be expensed according to the purpose (personnel expenses, transportation expenses, prototype expenses, sales promotion expenses, etc.). In this way, different subsidies can be used at each stage from research and development to commercialization in a certain business. In the management system described below, the user is provided with a function for further reducing the work cost of the business operator involved in recording the expenses when using these subsidies.

The control unit 207 is realized by a plurality of processors, for example. The control unit 207 functions as a transmission / reception unit 271, a calendar registration unit 272, a sorting processing unit 273, and an engagement content output unit 274 by operating according to a program.

  The transmission / reception unit 271 performs processing in which the server 20 inputs / outputs data to / from an external device such as the terminal device 10.

  The calendar registration unit 272 performs a process of updating the calendar information 261 for each user based on the schedule registration content received from each terminal device 10.

  The sorting processing unit 273 reads the sorting rule information 262 and performs processing for sorting the registered contents of each user's calendar indicated in the calendar information 261 based on the sorting rule information 262. The sorting processing unit 273 compares the registered contents of each user's calendar indicated in the calendar information 261 with the sorting rule information 262, and specifies the registered contents relating to a specific business from the registered contents of each user's calendar. For the specified registration contents, information (flag) indicating that the specific business is involved is given. The sorting processing unit 273 identifies the registered content related to a specific business based on whether or not each information included in the registered content indicated in the calendar information 261 includes the keyword indicated in the sorting rule information 262. Further, when a keyword and a keyword related to the keyword are set in the sorting rule information 262, the sorting processing unit 273 is configured according to the degree to which the keyword and the keyword related to the keyword are included in the schedule. It is also possible to specify a schedule for a specific business. For example, when a keyword is included in the schedule and more than a predetermined number of keywords related to the keyword are included, the schedule may be specified as belonging to a specific business.

  Priorities are set for the keywords shown in the sorting rule information 262, and the registered content shown in the calendar information 261 may include a plurality of keywords. In this case, the sorting processing unit 273 may sort to which business the registered content of the calendar belongs according to the priority order of the keywords. Further, the sorting processing unit 273 determines whether or not the location information regarding the schedule included in the registered contents of each user indicated in the calendar information 261 includes information indicating a location related to a specific business as the sorting rule information 262. It is good also as classifying a schedule based on.

  The engagement content output unit 274 outputs a sorting result obtained by sorting the registered contents of each user's calendar by the sorting processing unit 273 to an external device such as the terminal device 10. Further, the engagement content output unit 274 is based on the location information of each schedule shown in the registered content of each user shown in the calendar information 261 and the geographical information that is the base of each user stored in the storage unit 206. The expenses are specified, and the specified transportation expenses are stored in the storage unit 206 in association with the schedule.

  For example, route information (transfer information such as transportation) is searched based on location information of each schedule and base information of each user, and each transportation (train, bus, airplane or other transportation) indicated in the search result ) Is specified as transportation expenses. In addition, the engagement content output unit 274 indicates in the schedule that each user engaged in a specific business within a certain period based on the result of the classification processing unit 273 sorting the registered content of each user indicated in the calendar information 261. The total time width is totaled (for example, the total time each user has been engaged in a specific business in a period of one month), and the totaled result is output to an external device (such as the terminal device 10).

<B. Data structure>
Next, the structure of various data used in the management system 1 will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of the calendar information 261 managed by the server 20. The server 20 manages the schedule for each user who uses the calendar function by the calendar information 261. As shown in FIG. 4, the record of the calendar information 261 includes (i) identification information uniquely assigned so as to be able to specify each schedule registered in the calendar information 261, (ii) information indicating the title of the schedule, and ( iii) information indicating the date and time of the schedule, (iv) detailed information on the schedule, (v) information on the location relating to the schedule, and (vi) information on participants of the schedule.

  The server 20 receives input of the schedule title, date, details, location, and participant information from the user of the terminal device 10. For example, while visually recognizing the display of the terminal device 10, the user can see the title of the schedule “regular meeting of business (new product XX development)”, the date and time of the schedule “March 4 9:30 to March 4 10:00. "30 minutes", schedule details "The demo machine of the new product XX has been upgraded, so we have given you the opportunity to experience it. Please give us feedback." Participants such as “(Z) general manager, (Y) general manager” register the schedule in the calendar. When the server 20 accepts the registration of the schedule, the server 20 attaches identification information unique to the schedule and stores it in the storage unit 206.

There are various techniques for sharing a schedule registered in a calendar among a plurality of parties. For example, the server 20 stores each user's e-mail address and each user's name in association with each other. In addition, another user can be registered as a participant in the schedule by inputting the mail address of each user at the time of schedule registration. At this time, the server 20 may send a notification mail indicating that the schedule has been registered in the server 20 to each mail address addressed to the mail address registered in the schedule.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a data structure of the sorting rule information 262. As shown in FIG. The example of FIG. 5 shows an example in which sorting rule information 262 is provided for each business in order to extract which business the schedule registration content belongs to. That is, the server 20 stores the sorting rule information 262 shown in FIG. 5 for each business. Each record of the sorting rule information 262 includes (i) information for identifying a business corresponding to the keyword, (ii) a keyword for comparison with the contents of the schedule, and (iii) to which expense the expense is classified. Expense title to identify (for example, expense item indicating that the schedule corresponds to R & D), and (iv) a priority indicating the weight of each keyword when the schedule includes a plurality of keywords, v) includes related keywords. The sorting rule information 262 may include information on a period of a schedule to be compared with the schedule shown in the calendar information 261. For example, in the case of an open call for participants, there may be a predetermined period during which expenses are covered by a grant. For each business, the server 20 may classify whether the user's schedule corresponds to a specific business for a schedule within a period compared with the classification rule information 262.

  In (ii), the keyword type in the business may be set as the keyword. The keyword type in the business includes that the keyword indicates the name of the business and also indicates the name of the place. For example, it is set in the sorting rule information 262 that a certain keyword indicates the name of a place related to a business.

  In (iv), the priority set for each keyword is, for example, (iv-1) priority between businesses: when the schedule registered in the calendar information 261 can correspond to a plurality of businesses, Set to determine if it is a business. For example, if the schedule includes a first keyword corresponding to the first business “business X” and a second keyword corresponding to the second business “business Y”, the server 20 has the schedule. In order to determine which business is applicable, the priority associated with these keywords is used to identify the business corresponding to the high priority keyword.

  (Iv-2) Expense priority: The schedule registered in the calendar information 261 may correspond to a plurality of expense items. For example, as a keyword included in the schedule, a meeting for a test study at a specific place, a sales promotion at a specific place, and the like may occur. At this time, the server 20 classifies which expense is to be accounted for based on the registered contents of the schedule, and uses the priority associated with these keywords to classify the high priority keywords. Identify the corresponding expense item. Note that no priority may be set for keywords.

  The sorting rule information 262 may be updateable by the user. For example, the server 20 may accept settings from the user of the terminal device 10 regarding the designation of which business is supported when the keyword is included in the schedule and the priority of the keyword. Further, (v) a related keyword indicates a keyword having a high degree of association that is often used together with a keyword for comparison with the contents of a schedule. For example, when an employee of a company performs an activity (exhibition or the like) for sales promotion in a certain place “LL”, the server 20 registers the place “LL” in the calendar and sets the title of the schedule. A keyword (for example, keyword “promotion”, keyword “exhibition”, etc.) that is expected to be input to a certain degree is stored in the sorting rule information 262 as a keyword related to the place “LL”.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of the registered operation history information 263. In the management system of the present embodiment, an input operation for designating which business the user himself / herself belongs to the schedule registered by the user in the calendar information 261 is accepted. The registered operation history information 263 is information in which a history of operations that the user designates to which business each schedule shown in the calendar information 261 corresponds is recorded.

  As shown in FIG. 6, each record of the registered operation history information 263 includes (i) information for identifying a user, (ii) information for identifying each schedule registered in the calendar information 261, and (iii) a schedule. It includes the date and time when an operation for designating which business is received from the user, and (iv) the designated content designated by the user for which business the schedule corresponds to. Here, as the specified contents that the user specifies to which business the schedule corresponds to, (iv-1) that the user specified to correspond to a specific business, (iv-2) does not correspond to any business And (iv-3) that the user has not yet been designated for the schedule. The server 20 performs machine learning based on the data of the registered operation history information 263 to extract a pattern to which business the schedule corresponds. As a result of machine learning, for example, if a predetermined keyword is included in the title of the schedule, a pattern such as a schedule for a specific business can be extracted. The server 20 can update the sorting rule information 262 with the pattern thus extracted by machine learning.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of the user information 264. As shown in FIG. 7, each record of the user information 264 includes (i) information on the user's name, (ii) information on the user's affiliation such as a company name and job title, and (iii) contact information (email address) of the user. SNS (Social Network Service) account, chat service account, information such as a telephone number and other information that is a destination when contacting the user), (iv) an icon image showing the user himself, (v) the user is based Includes address information.

<C. Operation and screen example>
With reference to FIG. 8 to FIG. 11, the operation of each device constituting the management system 1 will be described.

<C1. Example of sorting schedules for a business>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process in which the server 20 classifies whether each user's schedule is for a specific business based on the registered contents of the calendar information 261. The server 20 executes the process shown in FIG. 8 at various occasions. For example, the server 20 receives the request from the terminal device 10 to perform the process shown in FIG. 8 or the process shown in FIG. 8 triggered by the timing for starting the process such as once a month. Execute.

  In step S <b> 801, the control unit 207 reads the schedule of the target user who is a target for sorting the schedule registered in the calendar information 261.

  In step S803, the control unit 207 reads out the sorting rule information 262 stored in the storage unit 206, and each item of the schedule of the target user over a certain period (each item of the record of the calendar information 261 shown in FIG. 4) and Each keyword indicated in the sorting rule information 262 is compared. In this embodiment, the control unit 207 is registered in the sorting rule information 262 for one business and the calendar information 261 in order to identify the schedule for one business among the registered contents of the calendar information 261. Compare each schedule.

By performing this comparison, the control unit 207 extracts a schedule including the keyword indicated by the sorting rule information 262 from the schedules registered in the calendar information 261. The control unit 207 stores the extraction result in the storage unit 206 in association with the schedule period compared with the sorting rule information 262. For example, the control unit 207 sets a file name indicating that the extraction result is obtained by comparing the schedule of the period “January 1, 2017 to January 31, 2017” with the sorting rule information 262. In addition, the extraction result is stored in the storage unit 206.

  Here, the control unit 207 determines the period of the schedule to be compared with the sorting rule information 262, for example, a period (monthly) in which the expense report is required to the subject of the public offering business in order to record the expense by subsidy. Next report etc.). Moreover, the control part 207 is good also considering the period of the schedule made into the object compared with the classification rule information 262 as the whole implementation period of the business concerning public offering. For example, the period during which the sorting rule information 262 for a certain business is applied is stored in advance in the storage unit 206 in association with the subsidy target period in the public offering business. The control unit 207 may read a schedule for a period to which the sorting rule information 262 is applied and compare it with the sorting rule information 262.

  In addition, the control unit 207 may accept the designation of the business from the user, read out the sorting rule information 262 for the designated business from the storage unit 206, and compare it with each item of the schedule of the target user. . For example, after identifying a subsidy for which an employee of a certain company has received a subsidy, the user may want to grasp the result of engaging in the business with respect to the subsidy.

  In step S805, the control unit 207 uses the schedule extracted by comparing the calendar information 261 and the sorting rule information 262 in step S803 (the sorting result obtained by sorting the registered contents of the calendar information 261) as an external device, for example. To the terminal device 10.

  In step S <b> 851, the control unit 107 of the terminal device 10 receives from the server 20 a sorting result in which the server 20 sorts the registered contents of the user's calendar. The control unit 107 stores the received information in the storage unit 106, for example, as engagement status information 162.

  In step S853, the control unit 107 calculates the total working hours in a certain period based on the sorting result received in step S851. For example, the control unit 107 calculates the total amount of time the user has engaged in a certain business by cumulatively adding the time zones of the schedules included in the sorting result received in step S851. For example, the control unit 107 can calculate the total amount of time that the user has engaged in a certain business in one month.

  In step S855, the control unit 107 causes the display 104 to display the calculation result of step S853. For example, the total accumulated time that a certain user has engaged in a specific business in one month is displayed on the display 104. Here, in step S855, the control unit 107 determines that the user has engaged in a specific business in a certain period based on the setting of the labor cost per unit time of the user and the total amount of engagement time obtained by the calculation in step S853. It is also possible to calculate the labor cost and to display the calculation result on the display 104. In addition, although the amount of personnel expenses is calculated in step S855, the said process is good also as not only the terminal device 10 but executing with another apparatuses, such as the server 20. FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a screen display example in the terminal device 10. A screen example (A) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which a list of user schedules is displayed on the display 104. In the screen example (A), in the calendar showing the day of the week and the time zone in a matrix, the title of the schedule is shown in each time zone of the schedule.

  In this screen example (A), the schedules of other users specified by the user may be displayed. Screen example (B) shows a state in which the sorting result received from server 20 in step S853 in FIG. 8 is displayed on display 104 so that the user can identify it. For example, as compared with the screen example (A), in the screen example (B), only the schedule related to a specific business as shown in the sorting result is displayed on the display 104 so that the user can identify it. Note that the method in which the terminal device 10 notifies the user of the sorting result received from the server 20 in step S853 is not limited to the example shown in the screen example (B). For example, as shown in the screen example (A), in a state where the user's schedule is displayed on the screen, the schedule related to a specific business shown in the sorting result may be distinguished and displayed (highlighted or the like). . Further, the terminal device 10 may display the sorting result received from the server 20 in step S853 on the display 104 in a list format separately from the calendar form.

  Screen example (C) shows a state where a user's schedule list is displayed on display 104 and an input operation for specifying that the schedule is for a specific business is received from the user. As shown in the screen example (C), for example, a schedule that is not classified as being related to a specific business, a predetermined icon (an icon 191A for the user to specify that the business is a specific business, and a specific business) An icon 191B for designating that the user is not related to the operation (for example, an operation for designating that the business is not “XX” as a specific business, and any business when the user is involved in multiple businesses) (For example, the user performs a drag operation to the icon 191A while touching the schedule 30B displayed on the touch panel with the user's finger 30A.) To specify that it is a schedule for a specific business. Accepted from The. Moreover, even if the schedule is classified as related to a specific business, an input operation for specifying that the schedule is not related to the specific business is received from the user.

  In this way, an input for correcting the extraction result of the server 20 by an easy operation such as a drag operation from the user in a state where the extraction result from which the schedule related to the specific business is extracted is displayed by the server 20. It is configured to accept operations. Thereby, it is possible to prompt the user to specify whether or not the schedule is for a specific business. As will be described later, when performing machine learning based on the history of the designated operation by the user himself, the accuracy of machine learning can be further improved.

<C2. Separation when the schedule may correspond to multiple projects>
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a process in which the server 20 performs schedule sorting by determining which business corresponds to a schedule when the schedule may correspond to a plurality of businesses.

  In step S813, the control unit 207 reads the sorting rule information 262 stored in the storage unit 206, and compares each item of the target user's schedule over a certain period with each keyword indicated in the sorting rule information 262. . In the example of FIG. 10, the control unit 207 compares the sorting rule information 262 for a plurality of businesses in the calendar information 261 with each schedule registered in the calendar information 261. By performing this comparison, the control unit 207 extracts a schedule including the keyword indicated by the sorting rule information 262 from the schedules registered in the calendar information 261.

The control unit 207 stores the extraction result in the storage unit 206 in association with the schedule period compared with the sorting rule information 262. At this time, a certain schedule may correspond to two or more businesses. That is, the control unit 207 uses the keywords included in the sorting rule information 262 for the first business and the keywords included in the sorting rule information 262 for the second business, for the first business and the second for a certain schedule. It can be extracted as related to the business. In this case, the control unit 207 extracts a schedule as related to any one business based on the priority associated with the keyword in the sorting rule information 262. For example, the control unit 207 identifies which business the schedule is based on based on a high priority keyword.

<C3. Identification of transportation costs when moving places>
FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a process in which the server 20 specifies the user's transportation expenses based on the location information included in the schedule.

  In step S <b> 1101, the control unit 207 identifies a schedule that includes location information regarding the schedule from the schedules extracted by comparing the schedule and the sorting rule information 262 in step S <b> 803. For example, the control unit 207 identifies the schedule “extracted” in the calendar information 261 illustrated in the example of FIG. 4 from the schedule extracted in step S803. Further, the control unit 207 specifies the schedule extracted from the schedule registered in the calendar information 261 based on the keyword whose keyword type indicates the name of the place in the sorting rule information 262 shown in the example of FIG. Note that the control unit 207 specifies a schedule that includes location information among the schedules registered in the calendar information 261 regardless of whether the schedule is extracted by comparison with the sorting rule information 262 or not. Also good.

In step S <b> 1103, the control unit 207 obtains information on the user's transportation expenses based on the geographical information that is the base in which the user is enrolled in the user information 264 and the location information included in each extracted schedule. To do. For example, the control unit 207 sets the departure point and the arrival point of a route information service provided as a Web service, assuming that the user has sequentially moved to a place included in each extracted schedule, thereby moving the user Information on transportation expenses required for the route is obtained from the route information service. For example, when a Web service providing a route information service prepares an API (Application Programming Interface), the server 20 calls the API so that the user's transportation cost from the departure point to the destination for a certain schedule Is calculated.

  That is, when there is the first schedule specified in step S1101, the control unit 207 refers to the calendar information 261, uses the information on the location of the first schedule specified in step S1101 as the destination, Information on the location of the second schedule before the schedule is set as the departure place. For example, in a schedule within a certain period (for example, a one-day schedule), a schedule before the first schedule is set as the second schedule. As a result, the control unit 207 acquires the travel expenses of the user who moves to the location of the first schedule after the second schedule within a certain period (for example, in a daily schedule) by using the route information service or the like. can do. Here, if there is no second schedule including location information before the first schedule, the control unit 207 changes from the location where the user is based to the location of the first schedule in the user information 264. It is good also as acquiring a transportation expense as what the user moved.

In this case, the server 20 may acquire the transportation cost for the movement of the user by the route information service or the like when the time interval between the first schedule and the second schedule is equal to or less than a certain value. If the time interval between the first schedule and the second schedule is less than or equal to a certain time, these schedules are continuous for the user, and the second schedule is moved from the location of the first schedule without going through another waypoint. This is because it can be regarded as having moved to the place.

  In step S1105, the control unit 207 associates the travel cost information acquired in step S1103 with the schedule date on which the user has moved according to the travel cost, and transmits the information to an external device such as the terminal device 10, for example.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen when the user's transportation expenses are specified based on a schedule at a certain date and time.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 207 identifies traffic expenses as the user has moved sequentially based on, for example, information on the location of each schedule of the user in the day and information on the location where the user is based. To do. In the example of FIG. 12, the control unit 207 acquires the transportation costs of the schedule 30C and the schedule 30D included in a certain day as a certain period. The control unit 207 acquires the transportation cost as if the user has moved from the location of the schedule 30C, which is a schedule before the schedule 30D, as the departure place and the location of the schedule 30D as the destination, in order to obtain the transportation cost in the schedule 30D. To do.

  For example, the control unit 207 uses the location information in the schedule 30C (for example, the city name “PP city” as the location of the factory) as the departure place, and the location information in the schedule 30D (for example, location information regarding the schedule). By using the place “Head Office” (the location of the head office) as the destination, the transportation cost for the schedule 30D is acquired. In addition, as in the schedule 30C, when there is no schedule before the schedule for a certain period (one day), the control unit 207 sets the point registered as the place where the user is based in the user information 264 as the departure place. The travel cost for the schedule 30C is acquired using the information on the location of the schedule as the destination. The control unit 207 may display on the display 104 so as to notify the user that the location information has changed in the schedule within a certain period. For example, when the control unit 207 determines that the user has moved from the schedule 30C to the schedule 30D based on the change in the location information included in the schedule 30C and the schedule 30D, the schedule 30C From the schedule 30D to the schedule 30D, it may be displayed on the display 104 that the movement of the user has occurred (transportation expenses have occurred).

  Also, the user may register without including the travel time in the schedule in the calendar. Therefore, for example, when there is a schedule such as a meeting in a place away from the place where the user is based, and there is a period in which the schedule is not registered before the schedule, the period is a time for movement Can be estimated. Control part 207 is good also as estimating the user's transportation expense in the period which can be presumed as time for movement in this way as the expense of the schedule after the period.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a screen example when the server 20 presents the result of extracting a specific business item from the registered contents of the user's calendar to the user of the terminal device 10. The terminal device 10 receives the extraction result extracted by the server 20 from the server 20 and stores it in the storage unit 106 as the engagement status information 162.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the control unit 107 of the terminal device 10 is extracted from the registered contents of the user's calendar for a certain period (for example, for one month) as related to a specific business based on the sorting rule information 262. The schedule is displayed on the display 104 as the extraction result 1301.

The control unit 107 displays the total value of the times of each schedule of a specific business in a certain period, extracted as described above, on the display 104 as an engagement time display unit 1302. The engagement time display unit 1302 indicates, for example, the engagement time that the user has engaged in the public offering business in one month.

The control unit 107 indicates the transportation cost for a specific business extracted in a certain period.
In the example of FIG. 13, when the user determines that each schedule indicated in the extraction result 1301 extracted by the server 20 is not related to a specific business, the control unit 107 determines which business is the schedule. The display 104 displays a button for accepting an operation for the user to specify whether it is related to (or is not related to any business). That is, the control unit 107 is configured to accept an input operation for correcting the extraction result extracted by the server 20 based on the sorting rule information 262.

  The control unit 107 includes a button 191C for the user to specify that the schedule shown in the extraction result 1301 extracted as the schedule of the specific business is not the specific business but another business, Is also displayed on the display 104 with a button 191D for the user to specify that the above is not applicable. The control unit 107, for example, performs an operation for selecting a schedule (such as the user's finger 30A touching the touch panel) and an operation for associating the selected schedule with the button 191C or the button 192D (for example, the user schedules with a touch operation). And dragging to the button 191C or the button 191D while the touch is continued. The control unit 107 transmits the accepted operation content to the server 20. Thereby, it is possible to prompt the user to specify whether or not the schedule is for a specific business. When the server 20 performs machine learning based on the history of designated operations by the user himself, the accuracy of machine learning can be further improved.

  When the user performs an operation for correcting that the extraction result of the server 20 is not related to a specific business, the control unit 207 of the server 20 receives the operation content from the terminal device 10. The server 20 updates the registered operation history information 263 according to the received content.

<C4. Screen example when sorting rule information is updated as a result of machine learning>
FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating processing for updating the sorting rule information 262 based on the result of machine learning by the server 20 based on the registered operation history information 263.

  The control unit 207 determines whether the schedule corresponds to a specific business as a result of machine learning of an operation history (registered operation history information 263) that the user specifies whether the schedule corresponds to a predetermined business. Learn patterns (feature parameters). Such a pattern (feature parameter) is obtained by deep learning using the result of the server 20 sorting the schedule by the sorting rule information 262 based on the registered operation history information 263 and the result specified by the user himself / herself. Can be obtained. The server 20 may sort whether each schedule included in the calendar information 261 corresponds to a specific business based on the pattern obtained by machine learning in this way. The control unit 207 can recognize a pattern with higher accuracy in sorting the schedules of each user by machine learning of operation histories of a plurality of users. For example, there are projects where public offerings are recruited annually / run over multiple years. For these businesses, when learning the pattern of whether the schedule corresponds to a specific business by machine learning of the history of user operations of the company in the past year, the learning results are displayed as the results of other companies' users. It can also be applied to.

Further, for example, as a result of machine learning, the control unit 207 can extract keywords that are frequently included in a schedule that the user designates as a specific business. The control unit 207 updates the sorting rule information 262 so that the keywords extracted by machine learning are included in the sorting rule information 262 in this way. At this time, the control unit 207 displays a keyword extracted by machine learning as a candidate to be included in the sorting rule information 262 on the screen, and accepts a user input operation as to whether or not to update the keyword of the sorting rule information 262. Also good.

<C5. Other methods for determining whether a user's schedule falls under a specific business>
As described above, the control unit 207 has described the process of sorting whether the user's schedule corresponds to a specific business, but the present embodiment is not limited to the above-described aspect. In addition to this, when the participants of the schedule registered as a schedule in the calendar include a specific participant, it may be determined that the schedule is related to a specific business. For example, a project member involved in a public offering may be executed by a predetermined team member. Here, the schedule registered in the calendar includes information on participants who participate in the schedule. For example, when a user inputs a meeting schedule as a schedule, another user who is scheduled to participate in the meeting in the schedule may be invited as a schedule participant by an e-mail address or the like.

<Embodiment 2>
Another embodiment of the management system 1 will be described. In the management system 1 according to the first embodiment, the technology for sorting whether the user's schedule is for a specific business has been described. In addition, the estimation of the transportation cost based on the contents registered by the user in the schedule has been described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.

  On the other hand, reimbursement of expenses used by employees may require evidence that third parties can assume that they have used the expenses. For example, when recording expenses approved for subsidies in a public offering project, it may be required to attach a receipt. In addition, when a business company records expenses reimbursed by an employee, the reimbursement expenses may be paid to the employee by attaching a receipt.

  In view of this, the second embodiment provides a technique for associating the actual working hours of an employee with the point at which the cost is generated in order to make it easier to process the expense used in the business in a company or the like. Specifically, the registered contents of the employee schedule and the evidence used in the schedule are associated with each other and managed by at least one of the server 20 and the terminal device 10.

  Here, it is preferable that the evidence of expenses is not easy for employees to arbitrarily change at least the amount of expenses, and specifically (Example A) by purchasing products and services. Receipts that occur, (Example B-1) Usage history of transportation IC cards that are assumed to be used in transportation facilities (Example B-2) IC cards that are expected to use electronic money at retail stores, etc. ( Example C) Data held by an application that acquires and manages a user's movement history by a device. By configuring in this way, for example, the technology described in the first embodiment is used to identify what the employee's schedule is related to the public offering business, and then the schedule related to the public offering business and the engagement contents related to the schedule. Can be associated with the evidence of expenses used in. This can further reduce clerical work for workers to submit evidence to receive subsidies in, for example, public recruitment projects.

<Operation example A: Linking receipts and schedules as evidence>
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a process for transmitting evidence from the terminal device 10 to the server 20 in association with the evidence of expenses. In the example of FIG. 15, an example will be described in which a receipt issued with purchase of goods / services is used as evidence as expense evidence. The receipt typically includes the date and time when the goods / services were purchased, the price, the article name or service name, the store name, and other information. For example, the control unit 107 starts the processing illustrated in FIG. 15 by receiving an operation for storing the information of the receipt. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the terminal device 10 includes a camera, and a captured image of the receipt is obtained by the camera. In the example of FIG. 15, it is assumed that the server 20 mainly performs a character recognition process and a process of specifying a schedule corresponding to the date and time of the receipt for the captured image of the receipt generated by the terminal device 10. To do. The terminal device 10 receives an input operation for obtaining a photographed image of a receipt and an operation for correcting the character recognition process in the server 20.

  In step S1551, the control unit 107 executes a camera function and receives an input of a captured image from the camera. For example, the control unit 107 displays a display prompting the user to shoot a receipt and a shutter button for executing shooting on the display 104, and saves the shot image by an input operation to the shutter button.

  In step S1553, the control unit 107 transmits the captured image of the receipt stored in step S1551 to the server 20.

  In step S1503, the control unit 207 of the server 20 performs character recognition processing on the photographed image received from the terminal device 10, thereby issuing the receipt date and time of the receipt included in the photographed image (date and time when the user purchased the article / service). ), The total amount of settlement, and details of the purchased item (for example, information on the product name, unit price, and purchase quantity) are extracted and converted into character codes. The server 20 stores the result of character recognition processing for such a captured image.

  In step S1505, the control unit 207 compares the result of the character recognition process on the receipt image with each piece of information included in the schedule, thereby creating a user schedule corresponding to the date and time extracted from the receipt image. Identify.

  (I) Specification of schedule based on issue date and time of receipt: For example, the control unit 207 determines the image of the receipt and the result of the character recognition process based on the result of the character recognition process of the information on the issue date and time included in the receipt. And the user's schedule shown in the calendar information 261 are associated with each other. For example, the control unit 207 specifies a schedule including the issue date and time (that is, the receipt issue timing) included in the receipt. In addition, the control unit 207 identifies one or more schedules within a certain period based on the issue date and time included in the receipt (for example, the control unit 207 includes a schedule of about 1 hour before and after the receipt issue date and time). To identify). The control unit 207 transmits the identified schedule and the result of the character recognition process for the captured image to the terminal device 10.

  (Ii) Specification of schedule based on purchased item included in receipt: For example, the control unit 207 determines the user corresponding to the receipt based on the information such as the purchased item of the goods / service included in the receipt and the purchase price. Specify a schedule for. For example, it may be specified which business the goods / services purchased by the user are related to, for example, a sample for test research and a trial production cost. For example, when the control unit 207 specifies which business the purchase item included in the receipt corresponds to by referring to a keyword or the like included in the sorting rule information 262, the image and text of the receipt The recognition processing result is associated with the user's schedule for a specific business.

(Iii) Specification of schedule based on location information included in receipt: For example, the control unit 207 purchases goods / services included in the receipt (store name, store telephone number, store address, etc.), etc. Based on the information, the user's schedule corresponding to the receipt is specified.
For example, the control unit 207 compares the purchase location of the goods / services included in the receipt with the location information included in the schedule, and the purchase location of the goods / services is within the range of the schedule location information. In some cases, the schedule is associated with the image of the receipt and the result of the character recognition process.

  In step S <b> 1555, the control unit 107 of the terminal apparatus 10 receives from the server 20 the result of character recognition processing for the captured image and the schedule specified by the server 20. In order to make the user recognize the received information, the control unit 107 notifies the user of the specified schedule and the result of the character recognition process by displaying the information on the display 104 or outputting sound through the speaker 110.

  In step S1557, the control unit 107 receives an input operation for correcting the result of the character recognition process for the receipt image and an input operation for associating the receipt image and the result of the character recognition process with which schedule. . For example, the control unit 107 displays on the display 104 a schedule specified based on the result of the receipt issuance date reading process in step S1505, and the schedule, the receipt image, and the result of the character recognition process. The user's input operation of whether or not to associate them is accepted. At this time, the user can correct the schedule associated with the receipt image or the like.

  In step S1559, the control unit 107 transmits to the server 20 the result of the receipt image and character recognition processing, and schedule information corresponding thereto.

  In step S1509, the server 20 updates the database based on the information received from the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 stores the user schedule indicated by the calendar information 261 in association with the image of the receipt received from the terminal device 10 and the result of the character recognition process.

  Thus, when the terminal device 10 performs the process of associating the receipt with the schedule, it is possible to facilitate the submission of evidence for the worker to record the expense.

<A1. Correspondence between receipts and schedules based on machine learning results>
As shown in the example of FIG. 15 above, the server 20 stores (i) a photographed image of a receipt transmitted from the terminal device 10, (ii) performs character recognition processing on the photographed image of the receipt, ( iii) A user's schedule is specified based on the result of the character recognition process of the photographed image of the receipt. Then, the server 20 acquires (ii-1) correction contents obtained by correcting the result of the character recognition processing by the user, and (iii-2) an operation as to which schedule the user has associated with the captured image and the result of the character recognition processing. The contents are acquired (step S1557). In this manner, the server 20 holds information before and after correction by the user regarding the result of character recognition processing and the result of specifying the schedule in association with the photographed image of the receipt.

  By performing machine learning based on such information before and after correction, the server 20 can improve the accuracy of character recognition processing of the captured image of the receipt. Further, the accuracy of associating the result of the character recognition processing of the receipt image with the schedule can be improved. By such machine learning, a pattern for associating the result of the character recognition processing of the photographed image of the receipt with the user's schedule can be extracted. In step S1505, the control unit 207 of the server 20 may identify the user's schedule corresponding to the photographed image of the receipt based on the pattern extracted based on the machine learning result.

<A2. Example of setting the range of schedules associated with receipts for each business>
In general, there are also situations in which workers want to record expenses for each business. For example, a budget may be approved in connection with development of a specific product, and there may be a case where an expense should be recorded as a common SG & A expense regardless of business in a company. In some cases, subsidy projects may be charged separately from other businesses. Therefore, in step S1505 in FIG. 15 described above, the schedule range associated with the receipt image and the result of the character recognition process may be a schedule that is sorted from a specific business as described in the first embodiment. .

  That is, among the schedules registered in the calendar information 261, the receipt image and the result of the character recognition process may be associated with a schedule sorted for a specific business.

  For example, when the terminal device 10 sends a receipt image to the server 20 in step S1553, an input operation for designating which business the photographed image of the receipt corresponds to may be received from the user. For example, the user performs an operation of associating the photographed image of the receipt with a specific business “XX”. The terminal device 10 transmits the captured image of the receipt and information for identifying the business associated with the user to the server 20. In step S <b> 1505, the server 20 assumes that the schedule range to be associated with the result of the character recognition process of the photographed image of the receipt is sorted into the specific business “XX”.

<Operation example B: Interlocking the record of IC card as evidence and schedule>
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a process of transmitting the usage history of the IC card as evidence of expenses from the terminal device 10 to the server 20 in association with the schedule. In the example of FIG. 16, an example of using a usage history of an IC card that can transmit and receive data by short-range wireless communication with a reader / writer device or the like will be described as evidence of expenses.

  There are various types of IC cards, such as a traffic IC card that records entry and exit of a railway or the like, and an IC card that allows electronic money to be used at retail stores. When the user holds the IC card over the reader / writer device, the usage history is accumulated in the management server. When a user uses a transportation IC card, typically, the management server stores various information such as when and when a user enters which station of which transportation, and the fare payment history of that section. To be recorded. Further, by using an IC card that can use electronic money, the date and time of purchase of goods / services, the amount of money, the name of goods or services, the name of a store, and other information are recorded in the management server.

  In step S1651, the control unit 107 acquires an IC card usage history. For example, the control unit 107 connects a reader device to the terminal device 10 and holds the IC card over the reader device, thereby acquiring the usage history of the IC card from the management server or the like. Further, the control unit 107 prompts the user to shoot the medium on which the IC card usage history is printed by the camera function, and acquires the IC card usage history by performing image recognition processing on the captured image. For example, the user can obtain a medium in which an IC card usage history is printed on a print medium by operating a terminal installed at a station. The control unit 107 transmits the acquired use history of the IC card to the server 20.

In step S <b> 1603, the control unit 207 of the server 20 receives the usage history of the IC card from the terminal device 10. The control unit 207 specifies a schedule to be associated with the IC card usage history based on the information shown in the IC card usage history. The control unit 207 transmits the schedule specified in association with the usage history of the IC card to the terminal device 10. For example, the control unit 107 specifies the schedule including the use date or the schedule following the use date and time based on the use date information indicated in the usage history of the electronic money. For example, a user may use an article purchased using electronic money with an IC card after the use date of the IC card.

  In addition, the control unit 107 specifies a schedule including the use date or the schedule closest to the use date based on the date and time when the transportation system is used in the use history of the traffic IC card. For example, since the user may move using a transportation facility in order to carry out the tasks indicated in the schedule, the control unit 107 uses the transportation IC card to follow the latest schedule following the date and time when the user entered the station. Is identified.

  In step S1653, the control unit 107 of the terminal device 10 receives the schedule specification result from the server 20, and notifies the user of the schedule by displaying the schedule on the display 104 or the like so that the user can recognize the specified schedule.

  In step S <b> 1655, the control unit 107 accepts an input operation as to which schedule the IC card usage history (including payment amount information) is associated with. For example, the control unit 107 displays the schedule specified in step S1603 on the display 104, and performs an input operation of whether to associate this schedule with an IC card usage history or to associate with another schedule. Accept from.

  In step S1657, the control unit 107 transmits to the server 20 the IC card usage history (including payment amount information) and the schedule information associated in step S1655.

  In step S1609, the server 20 updates the database based on the information received from the terminal device 10. For example, the server 20 stores the user schedule indicated by the calendar information 261 in association with the IC card usage history information.

  As described above, the terminal device 10 performs the process of associating the use history of the IC card with the schedule, thereby facilitating the submission of evidence for the worker to account for the expense.

<B1. Correspondence between receipts and schedules based on machine learning results>
As shown in the example of FIG. 16 described above, the server 20 includes (i) IC card usage history information, (ii) a result of specifying a user's schedule based on the IC card usage history, and (ii-1) ) The operation history (step S1655) in which the user inputs the association between the IC card usage history and the schedule is acquired. As described above, the server 20 holds the use history of the IC card and the result of the user specifying the schedule associated with the use history. By performing machine learning based on such user designation results, the server 20 can improve the accuracy of specifying a schedule corresponding to the usage history based on the usage history of the IC card. By such machine learning, a pattern of an IC card usage history and a schedule corresponding to the usage history can be extracted. In step S1603, the control unit 207 of the server 20 may specify a schedule corresponding to an IC card usage history based on a pattern extracted based on the result of machine learning.

<B2. Classification of IC card usage history>
In step S1603 in FIG. 16 described above, the schedule range associated with the IC card usage history may be a schedule that is classified from a specific business as described in the first embodiment.

Further, in step S1603, the control unit 207 may classify the usage history of the IC card for each usage history (i) whether it is for business use or private use for a worker, ii) It may be classified as a specific business such as a public offering.

  (I) There are various methods for classifying the usage history of the IC card for each usage history, whether it is for business use or private use for workers. For example, in the terminal device 10, the IC card usage history is displayed on the display 104, and an input operation for designating which usage history is for business use or private use may be accepted. . For example, in step S <b> 1651, the control unit 107 may accept an operation for designating an IC card usage history related to a specific business from the user. In the subsequent processing, the server 20 may perform processing for associating the use history of the IC card related to a specific business with the schedule specified by the user with the schedule of the calendar information 261.

  Moreover, the point where a user may move in a business activity may be specified in advance. For example, if it is a user engaged in research and development, it is a corporate headquarters, a laboratory, a factory, or the like. For this reason, the control unit 207 determines that the use history of the IC card is for business purposes when the transportation station for moving to a place involved in these business activities is included in the boarding station or the getting-off station. It may be. Moreover, the control part 207 is good also as what the user utilized for private use the utilization log | history which does not include the station regarding the place which concerns on these business activities.

  (Ii) Further, the server 20 uses the IC card by comparing information for classifying which business the schedule corresponds to, such as the sorting rule information 262, with the use history of the IC card. It may be specified whether the history is related to a specific business. For example, the usage history of the IC card for transportation includes information about the station where the user boarded and the station where the user got off. When the user travels on a business trip or the like, it is assumed that the user travels to a place designated in the schedule using a transportation facility. Therefore, for example, the server 20 compares the getting-off station in the IC card usage history of transportation with the information on the place included in the sorting rule information 262, so that it can be used for a specific business in the IC card usage history. Such can be extracted.

<Operation Example C: Linkage between User Movement History Acquired by Device and Schedule>
The example in which the IC card usage history is associated with the schedule as described above has been described. In addition to this, there are various methods for acquiring the movement history of the user. For example, in an information communication device such as a smartphone carried by the user, a wearable device (glass type, wristwatch type, or the like worn on the user's body), position information is intermittently acquired by GPS (position information sensor 105), Some measure the travel route and travel distance. In such an application, position information is acquired at regular intervals by GPS during startup, and the route, distance, travel speed, and other information that the user has moved are calculated based on the position information acquired at each time point. . In addition, by using the geofence function to determine whether the information communication device has acquired position information by GPS and moved into a predetermined designated area or outside the designated area, It can also be acquired as a movement history whether or not the user is located in the designated area.

  In addition, as an application that manages the movement history of users, for example, in an application that provides an SNS (Social Network Service) function, it is possible to use positional information such as a smartphone carried by the user so that the users can move from each other at a certain distance. There are various types such as an application for notifying that the user is located within an area, and an application for supporting a user's running in the sports / fitness field.

The server 20 uses the user movement history acquired by the device in this way, and instead of the IC card usage history in FIG. It may be associated with a schedule.

<Embodiment 3: Linkage with attendance management system>
In the example of FIG. 12 described above, the process for estimating the user's transportation cost based on the information on the location registered in the schedule has been described. On the other hand, attendance management systems are widely used in business activities to manage the labor of workers. The worker may make a business trip application or the like by the attendance management system when there is a schedule involving movement. In the attendance management system, when a user makes a business trip application, for example, the user inputs information on whether the user goes straight to the business trip destination or returns home from the business trip destination, and information on the date and time related to the business trip. In addition, the attendance management system may accept input of comments from the user in a business trip application, or may accept input of transportation expenses.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a data structure of the business trip application information 265. The server 20 communicates with the attendance management server 30 that is a computer that operates the attendance management system, thereby acquiring information on the business trip application input by the user, and stores it in the storage unit 206 as the business trip application information 265.

  The business trip application information 265 includes user identification information for identifying a user who makes a business trip application, date and time information related to the business trip, and information specifying that the user goes straight to the business trip destination and returns home from the business trip destination. , Information indicating comments input by the user when applying for a business trip, and information on transportation expenses. Transportation cost information may be entered by a user. For example, a user may apply for temporary payment before a business trip.

  Thus, in the attendance management system, the business trip application includes at least information on the business trip date and time when each user travels. As shown in the example of FIG. 17, the server 20 determines that the user indicated by the user identification information has gone out during the time indicated by the business trip date based on the business trip application information 265 in the calendar information 261. It is good also as registering a schedule. For example, when the server 20 and the attendance management system communicate with each other, the business trip date and time indicated in the business trip application information 265 and the date and time of the schedule indicated in the calendar information 261 are associated with each other, and the user shown in the business trip application information 265 The comment information may be associated with the schedule title or detailed information shown in the calendar information 261. Moreover, it is good also as reflecting the registration content of the schedule shown in the calendar information 261 in an attendance management system. For example, the date and time of the schedule shown in the calendar information 261 is made to correspond to the date and time of the business trip shown in the business trip application information 265, and the title or detailed information of the schedule shown in the calendar information 261 is changed to the comment of the user of the business trip application information 265. It is good also as making it respond | correspond with the information of.

  In addition, when the schedule is registered in the calendar information 261 in the time zone indicated by the business trip date and time, the server 20 specifies that the schedule needs to be accompanied by travel and travel expenses, and sets the travel expenses information of the schedule. get. For example, as shown in the above-described embodiment, transportation cost information may be acquired based on location information included in the schedule. Further, in the case where travel expense information is included in the business trip application, the travel expense information may be used as the travel expense in the schedule of the date and time indicated in the business trip application.

Depending on the business trip destination, the user may have applied for a business trip in advance prior to the schedule for the business trip. In addition, a business trip application may be made after the business trip. In the example of the third embodiment, the contents of the business trip application are reflected in the calendar information 261 in conjunction with the user business trip application in the attendance management system. Thereby, the server 20 can specify that each schedule indicated in the calendar information 261 requires a travel expense due to a business trip, and specify the expense in each schedule.

<Embodiment 4: Linkage with Business Card Management Application>
In the description of the above embodiment, the process of determining whether the user's schedule is accompanied by movement or requires transportation expenses based on the registered contents of the user information 264 and the location information registered in the schedule. Explained.

Here, the server 20 may be able to update the user information registered in the user information 264 by communicating with the business card management server 40. For example, in a service provided by the business card management server 40, each user updates information included in the business card, such as an affiliation destination. When the business card management server 40 provides an API (Application Programming Interface), the server 20 communicates with the business card management server 40 via the API so that the user registers in the service provided by the business card management server 40. And information on the contacts of other users exchanging contact information with the user can be acquired.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the server 20 updates the user information 264 based on the notification from the business card management server 40. The business card management server 40 holds business card information held by the user for each user. The business card management server 40 manages the business card image by associating the business card image with character information (name, affiliation, email address, telephone number, etc.) included in the business card by performing character recognition processing on the business card image. To do. The business card management server issues an account for each user, and provides an SNS (Social Network Service) function capable of transmitting and receiving messages between user accounts. As a result, when a user changes his / her affiliation / contact information due to various reasons such as job change or relocation, the affiliation / contact information is updated for other users. You can be notified.

  The server 20 communicates with the business card management server 40 to acquire affiliation information for each user and hold it as user information 264. Here, when the business card management server 40 notifies the user that the affiliation is updated, the date and time when the notification is received is associated with information such as the user affiliation indicated in the notification. It adds to the user information 264. Thereby, when the information on the affiliation of the user is updated, the information on the affiliation is based on the timing at which the information on the affiliation is registered in the user information 264 and the timing at which the information on the affiliation is updated. The period during which was valid can be identified.

  When the server 20 performs a process of specifying the user's transportation expenses based on the registered contents of the user information 264 and the location information registered in the schedule, the user's affiliation information in the user information 264, etc. The processing may be performed based on a period during which is valid.

  Further, when the server 20 that manages the calendar information 261 and the business card management server 40 cooperate in this way, when the user adds a participant in the schedule, the user and the contact information are provided in the service provided by the business card management server 40. It becomes easy to register the exchanged user in the schedule. For example, when a user registers a schedule in a calendar, the user performs an input operation to add a participant and obtains the mail address of another user who exchanges contact information with the user from the business card management server 40 Can be registered in the schedule.

<Other examples of hardware configuration>
As described above, the terminal device 10 and the server 20 included in the management system 1 of the present embodiment have been described. However, the configuration of each device is not limited to that of the above-described embodiment. For example, the terminal device 10 has been described as an example of a touch screen including the touch sensitive device 103 and the display 104 as the operation receiving unit 130, but the method of receiving a user input operation is not limited thereto. For example, the operation receiving unit 130 may be configured to receive a gesture operation by recognizing the movement of the user's body. For example, the terminal device 10 may include an infrared camera to recognize a user's hand gesture based on a captured image of the infrared camera.

  For example, the control unit 107 determines that the user's hand is in a state of “Goo” based on a photographed image of the infrared camera, a state in which the user is opening the hand “Par”, and the user pinches his / her finger. It is possible to detect the state of the image by image recognition. Further, the control unit 107 extracts the user's hand included in the captured image based on the captured image of the infrared camera, and moves the size of the extracted hand closer to or away from the infrared camera. It can be recognized as an operation for determining whether or not. As described above, the terminal device 10 may have a configuration that can accept a user gesture as an input operation instead of (or together with) the touch operation on the touch screen. Also, by performing user vein authentication with an infrared camera, various processes involving user authentication processes may be provided to the user. For example, the terminal device 10 can provide the user with a payment function at the time of product purchase, identity verification (including a login operation) and the like in the SNS service by performing vein authentication of the user.

  In addition, the configuration in which the server 20 transmits the result of sorting the registered contents of the user's calendar to the terminal device 10 operated by the user has been described. It may be instructed to compare the sorting rule information 262 with the registered contents of the user's calendar. For example, a person in charge of accounting affairs in an open recruitment business, apart from the workers, may organize working hours and the like.

  In addition, the server 20 provides the user with a calendar function. However, for the calendar function, the server 20 may use various data of a calendar application provided as a cloud service by another business operator. In other words, even if you are using the services of an external provider that provides email applications, calendar applications, storage applications, etc. via the cloud, you can read the registered data of the calendar by reading the data of the services provided by this provider. The server 20 can extract a schedule related to a specific business based on the above.

  In the description of each embodiment described above, an example in which processing is performed by the terminal device 10 and the server 20 communicating with each other has been described. It may be executed by any one of the servers 20. In addition, in this disclosure, as an example, assuming the situation of receiving subsidies for public offering projects, the contents of engagement of related parties for each business have been explained. The technology of the embodiment shown in the present disclosure can also be applied in the aspect of managing the engagement contents. As mentioned above, although embodiment of this indication was described, the technical scope of this invention should not be limitedly interpreted by description of this embodiment. This embodiment is an example, and it is understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention described in the claims.
