Subsequently, the editing environment providing means 11c of the information processing server 10 acquires the shared user-related information output from the providing side information terminal 30B (S105), and then refers to the provided side information terminal 30A with an accounting data table. The process (S106) of providing an editing environment including an editing data table that summarizes editable information from the information is executed together with the shared user-related information.

Subsequently, the provided side information terminal 30A can display the editing environment on the web browser by acquiring the editing environment provided by the information processing server 10 (S106). After that, the provided side information terminal 30A is in a state where the editing work of the accounting data table 12b (editing data table 12c) managed by the information processing server 10 can be executed (S107) via the web browser.

As described above, the accounting processing system presents the accounting data table 12b (same accounting information) stored in the storage device 12 on the information processing server 10 to the user's recipient information terminal 30A by a plurality of shared users. It is possible to provide an editing environment that can be edited at the same time and can also confirm the shared user-related information of the shared user who is editing the same accounting data table 12b at the same time (particularly S103 to S107).

According to the editing environment provided on the web browser of the information terminal 30 by the editing environment providing means 11c, the user is editing the accounting data table 12b via the provided side information terminal 30A. The shared user identification information that identifies other shared users accessing the accounting data table 12b (same accounting information) and the edit target identification information that indicates the location of the accounting record selected / edited by the shared user are displayed in real time. It is configured so that it can be acquired while updating to. A specific display example of the shared user-related information provided by the editing environment providing means 11c will be described later.

Further, the user-side provided side information terminal 30A to which the editing environment for the accounting data table is provided by the editing environment providing means 11c has user identification information that identifies itself with respect to the information terminal 30 of another user. And the edit target identification information that identifies the record being selected and edited by itself are configured to function as the provider information terminal 30B that provides the information processing server 10.

Next, the editing environment providing means will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10. 5 to 7 are model diagrams showing the editing environment provided on the display screen on the information terminal side.

In the illustrated example, the accounting information () to be managed and edited in the editing environment of the accounting data table 12b provided to the web browser or the like of the provided side information terminal 30A (on the display screen) by the editing environment providing means 11c. A main display unit 31 that displays a data table (journal diary: journal data table in the illustrated example) selected from the access information (access information, edited data table), and one of the left and right sides of the main display unit 31 (in the illustrated example). A band-shaped display switching unit 32 arranged on the left) side and a shared user displayed on one of the upper left and right sides (right in the illustrated example) of the main display unit 31 and simultaneously logged in. An information display unit 33 is provided. The main display unit 31 is configured to display edit target identification information indicating an accounting record being selected / edited by a shared user (see FIGS. 5 to 7 and the like).

In the display switching unit 32, selection button units for selecting accounting information (editing data table) to be displayed on the main display unit 31 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. Specifically, the selection button sections described as "transfer slip", "journal diary", "financial institution-related staff", "ledger", "trial balance", "financial statements", etc. are arranged side by side. By selecting and executing any of the selection button units, the accounting information (editing data table) to be displayed on the main display unit can be switched.

The shared user information display unit 33 displays identification icons 33A and 33B for identifying shared users who are accessing the accounting data table other than itself as the shared user identification information. In the illustrated example, an identification icon in which information such as an initial letter of a user name is arranged is provided in a circle.

In addition to the character information displayed on the icon, the identification icon may be configured so that it can be easily identified by separating the color and line type for each shared user (see FIG. 5 and the like).

Further, the identification icons 33A and 33B display shared user information in which detailed information of the shared user identified by the identification icons 33A and 33B is described by operating a pointer operated by a mouse or the like on the identification icon. The frame 34 is configured to pop up (see FIG. 6).

The detailed information of the shared user displayed in the shared user information display frame 34 includes the user name of the selected shared user (Hanako Tanaka in the illustrated example) and the accounting information opened by the shared user (example in the figure). Is configured so that shared information such as journals (journal diary, transfer slip) can be browsed (see FIG. 6).

Incidentally, the screen providing means (providing user screen providing means) 11d has the identification icon 33 displayed on the shared user information display unit 33 and the edited data displayed in the shared user display frame 34. By selecting and executing table information with a pointer operated with a mouse, the screen of the edited data table displayed (provided) on the information terminal of the selected shared user is displayed. ..

According to the configuration, the user can smoothly switch the editing data table being edited to the editing data table being edited by the shared user, so that the accounting data table (access information, editing data) by a plurality of users can be smoothly switched. The editing work of the table) can be performed more efficiently.

Further, the editing environment providing means 11c is configured so that the user and the shared user can smoothly communicate with each other by incorporating or linking a voice call, a chat, a WEB conference system, or the like. Therefore, the efficiency of the above editing work can be further improved.

When the "transfer slip" or "journal journal" is selected by the selection button unit of the display switching unit 32, the main display unit 31 displays the journal data table corresponding to the "transfer slip" or the "ledger". If is selected, the ledger data table is displayed, if "Trial balance" is selected, the trial balance data table is displayed, and if "Financial statement" is selected, the financial statement data is displayed. The table is displayed.

By the way, the web browser of the provided side information terminal 30A is different in constituting the accounting information by duplicating the display frame in which the main display unit 31 can be displayed in another frame or making it possible to display tabs in the same frame. It is also possible to display (start) multiple data tables at the same time (not shown).

In the illustrated example, the journal is displayed on the main display unit 31 by selecting and executing the “journal diary”. Explaining the data structure of the accounting data table 12b displayed on the main display unit 31, the items provided in the accounting data table (journal data table) (in other words, the fields constituting one accounting record) are included in the items. The "date / transmission number" that describes the date and slip number of one transaction, the "debit item" that is the account item of the debit of one transaction, and the "amount" that is the information of the amount of debit of the transaction. , "Credit item" which is the account item of the credit of one transaction, "Amount" which is the information of the amount of the credit of the transaction, and "Summary" which describes the outline of one transaction. ..

The data structure of this accounting data table corresponds to the format of compound journals in which one transaction can be described by multiple records. As a result, one accounting record is described in one line, and each time one journal information is added, one accounting record described in one line can be sequentially described in the column direction.

By the way, as shown in the figure, the editing environment providing means 11c emphasizes the cursor of one selected accounting record when the user selects an arbitrary accounting record in order to edit a predetermined accounting record. The display is configured to clearly indicate that the user has selected a given accounting record. In the illustrated example, the user has selected the accounting record with slip number 10 (see FIGS. 5-7, etc.).

At this time, the accounting record selected by the user highlights one accounting record by displaying the cursor (outer frame) thickly, changing the color of the outer frame, or coloring the field. do. The method of emphasizing accounting records is not limited to these.

Further, as shown in the figure, in the editing environment providing means 11c, when the shared user selects an arbitrary accounting record in order to edit a predetermined accounting record, which accounting record is selected by the shared user. It is configured so that you can clearly see whether you are selecting or editing.

In the illustrated example, as a user using the provided terminal 30A, the shared user 1 (Hanako Tanaka) selects the accounting record of the slip number 3 of the journal, and the shared user 2 is the journal diary. It can be confirmed that the slip number 5 of the book is selected. As a result, the above-mentioned editing target identification information of the shared user can be reflected on the editing environment (see FIGS. 5 to 7).

At this time, the accounting record selected by the shared user is highlighted by changing the color, line type (dotted line, broken line, etc.), thickness, and other visual information of the accounting record for each shared user. Allows you to see at a glance which accounting record is being selected or edited by which shared user.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the editing environment providing means 11c is a pointer operated by a mouse or the like within the frame of the accounting record highlighted indicating that the shared user is selecting or editing. By operating the above, a display frame 36 in which a user name indicating which of the shared users is selected may be displayed pops up on the cursor of the accounting record.

Further, regarding the edit target identification information, even if the shared user displays and edits a data table different from the user (edit), an accounting record showing the same journal information between different data tables. When is selected, the accounting record in the data table displayed on the main display unit 31 on the user side consists of the same journal information as the accounting record selected by the shared user in another data table. It is configured to be able to indicate that an accounting record is being selected.

Specifically, for example, when the information terminal 30A on the user side displays a data table showing a journal, and the information terminal 30B on the shared user side displays a data table showing a general ledger. , If one accounting record showing the same journal as the one selected in the general ledger on the shared user side is displayed on the journal diary side, it is displayed on the information terminal 30A on the user side. The accounting record corresponding to the accounting record selected by the shared user in the data table of the journal ledger is configured to indicate that the shared user is editing.

Next, a flow of screen update processing after editing by the editing environment providing means will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a flow chart showing a screen update process by the editing environment providing means.

When the editing environment providing means 11c starts providing the editing environment to the user's information terminal 30A, the screen update process is started. When the display of the data table 12b constituting the accounting information is started on the main display unit 31 on the web browser of the information terminal 30, a process of recording the time when the display of the data table 12b is started (step S201) is performed. conduct.

Subsequently, when it is detected that any of the accounting records constituting the data table 12b displayed on the main display unit 31 has been edited, the edited user, the edited accounting record, the edited content, and the editing are performed. Acquires editing information consisting of time and the like (S202).

Subsequently, it is confirmed whether the accounting record editing work executed after the time when the display of the data table 12b is started is performed by the user himself / herself or by the shared user (S203).

Subsequently, when the editing of the accounting record is executed by the user himself / herself, the display of the data table displayed on the main display unit 31 on the user's information terminal 30 is immediately displayed on the edited content. The process of updating to is performed (S204).

When the editing of the accounting record is executed by the shared user, the display of the data table displayed on the main display unit 31 on the user's information terminal is not immediately updated. A process of displaying an update icon 37 indicating that the content has been edited in the accounting record for which editing has been executed is performed (S205).

That is, when the user edits the accounting data table 12b (editing data table 12c) via the provided side information terminal 30A, the editing environment providing means 11c edits one accounting record by the user himself / herself. Immediately updates the display of the data table displayed on the main display unit 31 on the web browser, while when another user (shared user) edits one accounting record, the corresponding accounting record It is configured so that the display of the data table displayed on the main display unit 31 is not updated only by displaying the update icon. It should be noted that the screen display may be updated so as to immediately reflect the update by the shared user.

Based on FIG. 9, an example of an icon displayed in the data table of the main display unit when the accounting record is edited by the shared user will be described. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of an update icon.

As shown in the figure, when the editing work of one accounting record is executed by a shared user other than the user himself / herself, the update icon 37 is displayed in the frame of the edited accounting record. In the illustrated example, the slip number 8 in the journal is edited.

In this case, the editing environment providing means 11c displays on the main display unit 31 on the provided side information terminal 30A side when the operation of clicking the update icon 37 is detected by using the pointer operated by a mouse or the like. It is configured to perform an update of the displayed contents of the data table.
