FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining a procedure for the company A server 7 to upload the payroll details data to the mediation server 2. Upload servers from other companies in the same way.
First, the company A server 7 generates salary detail data in a data format suitable for the salary detail DB of the mediation server 2 in advance, and transmits it to the mediation server 2 (step 5).
The received salary statement data may be converted so that the mediation server 2 conforms to the data format of the salary statement DB.

When the mediation server 2 receives the salary detail data, it stores it in the salary detail DB (step 10).
When the intermediary server 2 stores the salary detail data, the intermediary server 2 searches the PW management DB for a combination of the company ID of the salary detail data and the employee ID recorded in the salary detail data, and the employee associated with the salary detail data Is already registered in the PW management DB or is a new employee (step 15).

  If it is not registered in the PW management DB and is a new employee (step 15; Y), the mediation server 2 sets a password for the employee (step 20), and the company ID, employee ID, And the correspondence of the password is stored in the PW management DB (step 25).

  After storing the new employee in the PW management DB, or when the employee is not a new employee (step 15; N), the intermediary server 2 determines whether or not all employees included in the salary statement data have been confirmed. If there is an employee who has not yet been confirmed (step 30; N), the process returns to step 15.

On the other hand, when all employees have been confirmed (step 30; Y), the intermediary server 2 transmits the correspondence between the employee ID and password of the new employee to the company A server 7 (step 35).
The company A server 7 receives the correspondence between the employee ID and the password and stores it.
The stored password is notified to the employee from the person in charge of the company A together with the company ID and the employee ID, and the employee uses this to access the mediation server 2 from the store terminal 5 or the user terminal 6.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining a procedure for an employee to log in to the mediation server 2 from the store terminal 5.
First, the headquarter server 3 transmits menu screen data to the store terminal 5 (step 50), and the store terminal 5 displays the menu screen (FIG. 6A) on the display unit 54 (FIG. 4) using this. To do.
When the employee selects the pay statement service on the menu screen, the headquarter server 3 connects the store terminal 5 to the mediation server 2 (step 60).

When the mediation server 2 is connected to the store terminal 5 via the headquarter server 3, the mediation server 2 transmits authentication screen data to the store terminal 5 (step 65).
Then, the shop terminal 5 receives the authentication screen data and displays the authentication screen (FIG. 6B) on the display unit 54.

When the employee inputs the company ID, the employee ID, and the password from the authentication screen, the store terminal 5 accepts this, and when the employee touches the login button 68, the store terminal 5 transmits these authentication information to the mediation server. 2 (step 70).
Upon receiving the authentication information from the store terminal 5, the mediation server 2 identifies and authenticates the employee by collating it with the PW management DB, and performs login processing when the authentication is successful (step 75).

FIG. 12 is a flowchart for explaining the procedure for printing the pay statement 10.
The mediation server 2 and the shop terminal 5 communicate via the headquarter server 3, but the headquarter server 3 will be omitted.
When the intermediary server 2 authenticates the employee in step 75 (FIG. 11), the salary detail DB searches the salary detail DB using the employee's company ID and employee ID as keys (step 105).

When the intermediary server 2 specifies the salary detail data of the employee, the mediation server 2 generates salary detail list screen data using this and transmits it to the store terminal 5 (step 110).
The salary statement data is accompanied by information (for example, a flag) for determining whether or not the employee has printed the salary statement 10 related to the salary statement data, and the mediation server 2 prints using this information. Payroll list screen data is generated so that a completed payroll statement and an unprinted payroll statement can be identified.

Upon receiving the salary detail list screen data, the store terminal 5 displays the salary detail list screen (FIG. 7A) on the display unit 54 using this (step 115).
When the employee selects the salary statement on the salary statement list screen, the store terminal 5 transmits information specifying the salary statement to the mediation server 2 (step 120).
Upon receiving the information, the mediation server 2 specifies the salary detail data selected by the user, generates salary detail screen data using this, and transmits it to the store terminal 5 (step 125).

When the store terminal 5 receives the salary detail screen data, the store terminal 5 displays the salary detail screen (FIG. 7B) on the display unit 54 (step 130).
When the employee touches the confirmation request button 79 and makes a confirmation request on the pay statement screen (step 135; Y), the mediation server 2 and the store terminal 5 give the confirmation request screen (FIG. 8B) to the employee. Confirmation request processing is performed by presenting it (step 140).
Further, when the employee touches the customize button 78 to customize the printing content (step 145; Y), the mediation server 2 and the store terminal 5 present the customization screen (FIG. 8A) to the employee. Etc. to perform customization processing (step 150).

  After performing the confirmation request process (step 140) and the customization process (step 150) if necessary, the employee selects the print all button 75, the simple print button 76, and the simple print button 76 on the salary detail screen (FIG. 7B). Alternatively, when one of the customized print buttons 77 is touched to select a print form (step 155), the mediation server 2 generates print data suitable for the print form and transmits it to the store terminal 5 (step 160).

When the store terminal 5 receives the print data from the mediation server 2, the store terminal 5 prints the salary statement 10 by the printing unit 58 according to this (step 165).
When printing is completed, the store terminal 5 transmits a print completion report to the mediation server 2 (step 170), and reports to the headquarter server 3 that printing has been executed (step 175).
On the other hand, the mediation server 2 receives the print completion report from the store terminal 5 and records the fact that the employee's salary statement 10 has been printed in the salary statement DB or the like (step 180).

The brokerage company operating the brokerage server 2 can confirm that the pay statement 10 has been issued to the employee by the printing completion report, and can report the fact to the client company.
The client company can confirm that the salary statement 10 has been delivered to the employee by a report from the brokerage company, thereby certifying that the social responsibility has been fulfilled.

In the above, the case where the pay statement 10 is issued to the employee has been described. However, the intermediary system 1 issues the pay statement 10 in the same manner to the former employee who has left the company. Can do.
For this reason, it is possible to avoid the situation where the former employee's continuous work destination becomes unknown after retirement and the former employee cannot be given the pay statement 10, and the former employee works for the receipt of the pay statement 10. It is no longer necessary to go to the company that had been there.

The following effects can be obtained by the present embodiment described above.
(1) By uploading salary detail data from the company to the intermediary server 2, employees can view their salary details from the store terminal 5 or the user terminal 6.
(2) By using the store terminal 5 of the member store system 4 as a terminal, the employee always accesses the intermediary server 2 to view the salary statement regardless of the network environment of the employee, and the salary statement 10 Can be printed.
(3) By printing the advertisement on the salary statement 10, the use cost of the store terminal 5 can be supplemented by the advertising revenue, and the employee can view and print the salary statement for free.
(4) If there is any doubt about the contents of the pay statement, the employee can request confirmation from the store terminal 5.
(5) The form of the pay statement 10 to be printed can be selected and customized.

In the above, the case where the employee browses and prints the salary details has been described, but this does not limit the browsing print contents to the salary details, for example, withholding slips, health insurance usage details, etc. It can be applied to general information to notify former employees.
Moreover, it can also comprise so that the list of monthly payments and the daily work performance may be printed using salary description data.

(Modification 1)
In this modification, when an employee receives salary details from a plurality of companies, the plurality of companies are combined into one account.
FIG. 13 is a diagram for explaining the concept of this modification.
For example, it is assumed that a user (hereinafter, an employee is referred to as a user) of the mediation system 1 works at Company A in January and February and works at Company B and Company C in April.

In this case, the intermediary server 2 is notified to this user of pay details data 92 for Company A in February, pay details data 93 for Company B in April, and information for April in Company C. Salary detail data 94 is uploaded from the company server.
The user may access these salary details for each company, but if these are combined into one account 91, the convenience of the user can be improved.

Therefore, when there are salary details data of different companies for the same user, the mediation server 2 integrates these salary details data into one account 91, and the account ID (for example, A01) and the account for the user are integrated. Issue a password.
The user can log in to his / her account from the store terminal 5 using the account ID and password, and can handle salary details of the plurality of companies collectively.

The intermediary server 2 has a function in which a user actively establishes his / her own account and integrates the company in which he / she works, but the intermediary server 2 side also has a salary detail of a plurality of companies. Have the function of automatically creating the account 91 by inferring that they belong to the same user.
In recent years, due to the liberalization of temporary work, employees tend to move frequently in a short period of time, and such users need to receive salary details from many companies. In this case, if there is a function that automatically integrates the plurality of companies into one account and can be accessed with one account ID and a password, the convenience of the user can be dramatically improved.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart for explaining a procedure of a guess process for guessing that salary details data of a plurality of companies are addressed to the same user.
First, the mediation server 2 searches the salary detail DB for users having the same employee name (name, first name) (step 205).
Next, the intermediary server 2 confirms whether or not the bank account of the pay transfer destination is the same in the searched salary detail data (step 210), and if it is the same (step 210; Y), the same user is estimated (step). 260).

On the other hand, if the accounts are different (step 210; N), or if the account is not recorded in the salary statement data, the mediation server 2 further determines whether the birthdays recorded in the salary statement data are the same. Confirm (step 215).
When the birthdays are different (step 215; N), the mediation server 2 estimates that the users related to the salary detail data are different users (step 270).
If the birthdays are the same (step 215), the mediation server 2 adds +3 points to the user (step 220).
If the birthday is not recorded in the salary detail data, steps 215 and 220 are omitted.

Next, the mediation server 2 confirms whether or not the user's last name related to the salary detail data is the same (step 225).
When the surname is the same (step 225; Y), the mediation server 2 adds +1 point to the user (step 230), and when the surname is different (step 225; N), the intermediary server 2 does not add points.
Further, the intermediary server 2 confirms whether or not the user's address is the same (step 235). If the addresses are the same (step 235; Y), +1 point is added to the user (step 240). Are different (step 225; N), no points are added.
If no address is recorded in the salary detail data, steps 235 and 220 are omitted.

Next, the mediation server 2 checks whether or not the user's telephone number is the same (step 245). If the telephone number is the same (step 245; Y), +2 points are added to the user (step 250). ) If the telephone number is different (step 245; N), no points are added.
If no telephone number is recorded in the salary detail data, steps 245 and 250 are omitted.

Next, the mediation server 2 adds up the added points and determines whether or not the total score is 5 or more (step 255).
If it is not 5 points or more (step 255; N), the mediation server 2 is estimated to be a different user (step 270). If it is 5 points or more (step 255; Y), the mediation server 2 is the same user. It is estimated that there is (step 260).
If the mediation server 2 estimates that they are the same user, the mediation server 2 adds the user to the same user candidate list (step 265).

Specifically, for example, employee A and employee B are estimated to be the same person based on salary details data addressed to employee A of company A and salary details data addressed to employee B of company B. Then, the employee A and the employee B are associated in the PW management DB, and the association is stored in the same user candidate list.
Thereby, for example, when the employee A logs in, the mediation server 2 searches the same user candidate list and recognizes that the employee A is estimated to be the employee B. It is possible to check whether employee A and employee B are the same user.

FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining an account set in the mediation server 2.
The mediation server 2 sets an account 91 (FIG. 13) for a certain user, associates the pay detail data of the user transmitted from each company server with the account 91, and integrates them.
The user can log in to the account 91 by transmitting the account ID and password of the account 91 from the store terminal 5 to the mediation server 2.
Alternatively, it is possible to log in to the account 91 using any company ID, employee ID, and password of any company belonging to the account 91.

When the user logs in to the account 91, the intermediary server 2 generates salary statement screen data and salary statement print data using the salary statement data of each company belonging to the account 91, and the user creates the salary statement 10 at the store terminal 5. Print.
Note that a user who does not change jobs and does not have a side job and receives a pay statement from one company does not need to create an account 91.
For this reason, in the mediation server 2, there can be a mixture of users for which the account 91 is set and users for which the account 91 is not set. Therefore, it is possible to simplify information management of the mediation server 2 without generating an account 91 for unnecessary users.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining the logical configuration of the account DB.
The account DB is formed in the data section of the storage section 26 (FIG. 3), and is generated by storing the user registered in the same user candidate list when it is confirmed that the user is the same user. It is.

The account DB includes items such as “account ID”, “name”, “PW”, “company ID”, and “employee ID”.
“Account ID” is identification information for identifying an account, and “Name” is the name of the user of the account.
“PW” is a password used when logging in to the account.

“Company ID” is the company ID of the company for which the user of the account receives a pay statement, and “Employee ID” is the employee ID of the user at the company.
In the example shown in the figure, the user has an employee ID of 254 for a company with a company ID of 001, an employee ID of 817 for a company with a company ID of 002, and an employee ID of 158 for a company with a company ID of 003. It has become.
As described above, in the account DB, employees (same users) of a plurality of companies are associated with one account ID, and thereby employees of the plurality of companies are integrated.

FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of the same user confirmation screen displayed on the store terminal 5.
When the user performs login processing using a certain company ID (step 75 in FIG. 11), the intermediary server 2 refers to the same user candidate list, and when the user is registered in the list, the same user confirmation screen data Is generated and transmitted to the store terminal 5.
The same user confirmation screen in FIG. 17 is displayed by the store terminal 5 using the same user confirmation screen data.

Here, as an example, when the user logs in as an employee of company A, when the mediation server 2 searches for the user in the same user candidate list, the employee ID 534 of company B and the employee ID 742 of company C are associated. Shows the case.
On the same user confirmation screen, a password input field 101 for inputting the employee ID of company B and the password for company B, and a password input field 102 for inputting the employee ID of company C and the password for company C are displayed.

When the user is an employee of these B company and C company, when the password of each company is entered in the password input fields 101 and 102 and the transmission button 103 is touched, the passwords of B company and C company are transferred to the mediation server 2. Sent to.
The intermediary server 2 receives the passwords of the B company and the C company from the store terminal 5 and authenticates them, and if the authentication is successful, the employees of these three companies are determined to be the same user, and an account 91 is generated. To do.
On the other hand, if the user is not an employee of Company B or Company C, the user touches the send button 103 without inputting a password or touches the cancel button 104.

FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a salary detail list screen displayed on the store terminal 5 when the user logs in to his / her account.
On the salary detail list screen, salary details of a plurality of companies belonging to the account are displayed so as to be selectable. The display procedure is the same as in FIG.
In this way, the user can access the pay statement of each company integrated into the account without logging in for each company.

The following effects can be obtained by the modification described above.
(1) When a user receives a salary statement from a different company, these can be integrated into one account.
(2) It is possible to infer that the salary detail data of different companies is for the same user by using the coincidence of items of the salary detail data.
(3) With respect to the guess, this can be confirmed by inquiring the user, and if it is found that they are the same user, the salary details data of these different companies can be integrated into one account. it can.

(Modification 2)
In the company, in addition to the salary statement, a health insurance usage statement may be issued to the employee. In this modification, when the user prints the salary statement 10, the health insurance is added to the salary statement 10. The usage details are also printed.
In this manner, by printing the health insurance usage details on the salary statement 10, it is possible to prompt the user who is not interested in the health insurance usage details to confirm the health insurance usage details.

FIG. 19A is a diagram showing a hardware configuration of the mediation server 2 according to the present modification, and a health insurance detail DB is stored in the data section of the storage section 26.
The health insurance details DB is a database in which the health insurance usage details data uploaded from the company servers of each company is accumulated, and the health insurance usage details data can be searched by company ID and employee ID in the same manner as the salary details data. Yes.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), company A's salary detail data and health insurance utilization detail data are linked by employee ID, and when salary detail data is specified, the corresponding health insurance utilization Detailed data can be specified.

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing an example of the salary statement 10 according to this modification.
As shown in FIG. 20, a salary statement 110 and a health insurance usage statement 111 are printed on the salary statement 10, and the user confirms the contents of the health insurance usage statement 111 together with the contents of the salary statement 110. Can do.

  This is because when the user selects printing of the salary statement, the intermediary server 2 searches the health insurance usage details data corresponding to the salary statement 110, and prints the print data using the salary statement data and the health insurance usage details data. It is printed by generating.

  In this modification, as an example, the health insurance usage details 111 are automatically added to the salary details 110 and the salary details 10 are printed. However, the information to be added is not limited to this, for example, the user used the information. Various things are possible, such as details of the expense.

According to this modification, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) When the user selects printing of the salary details 110, the health insurance usage details 111 can be automatically printed.
(2) Although it is unlikely that the user is willing to print, if there is information that he wants to hand over to the user, the information can be handed over to the user by printing the information together with the salary details 110.

Although the present embodiment and the modified examples have been described above, various modifications can be made.
For example, the brokerage server 2 has uploaded the payroll details data from the company server. For example, in the case of a small company, the payroll statement is sent to the brokerage company as an email attachment, It can also be configured such that the person in charge of the person manually registers the pay statement data in the mediation server 2.

Further, the user authentication is performed by the user inputting the company ID or the employee ID into the store terminal 5. For example, the user registers with the service member operated by the member store system 4 and stores the member information. A member card with a built-in contact IC chip or a member card having member information stored in a magnetic stripe may be read into the store terminal 5 and logged in.
In this case, the mediation server 2 associates the user member information with the company ID and employee ID of the company where the user works, and accepts login by using these member cards.

In the embodiment and the modification described above, the headquarter server 3 functions as a notification mediation server.
The headquarter server 3 receives salary detail data associated with the company ID and employee ID and stores them in the salary detail DB, so that the notification information (salary detail) associated with the company ID and employee ID (employee ID) Notification information receiving means for receiving data and the like, and notification information storage means for storing the received notification information in a notification information storage unit (eg salary detail DB).
Then, the headquarter server 3 receives the authentication information including the company ID, the employee ID, and the password from the store terminal 5, authenticates with the PW management DB, and searches the salary detail DB for the authenticated employee salary detail data. Therefore, the authentication is performed by receiving authentication information including the company ID and the employee ID from the terminal (the store terminal 5 or the like) and authenticating the employee, and the authentication is performed using the company ID and the employee ID used for the authentication. Notification information search means for searching for notification information of employees in the notification information storage unit is provided.
Further, the headquarter server 3 generates print data using the salary detail data and sends it to the store terminal 5 when a print request is received from the store terminal 5. Print data generation means for generating print data for printing the notification content by information, and print data transmission means for transmitting the generated print data to the terminal.

Moreover, in a modification, it is estimated whether the salary details data of different company IDs are addressed to the same employee, and it confirms with the estimated employee. Then, the company ID and employee ID of the confirmed employee are integrated into one account.
For this reason, the mediation server 2 estimates that the notification information of different company IDs is addressed to the same employee (employee) in the stored notification information (salary statement data), When the estimated information of the same employee is received from the terminal (store terminal 5), it is confirmed whether the notification information belonging to the different company ID is addressed to the same employee. Confirmation information transmitting means for transmitting confirmation information (same user confirmation screen data) to the terminal, confirmation result receiving means for receiving a confirmation result from the terminal in response to a user response to the transmitted confirmation information, and the received When it is confirmed by the confirmation result that the notification information of the different company ID is addressed to the same employee, the company ID and the employee ID corresponding to the company ID are In association communication includes an integrated means for integrating the first account.

  And since the mediation server 2 estimates the degree of coincidence of items in the salary detail data by scoring, the estimation means uses the notification information of the different company ID depending on the degree of coincidence of the information relating to the item of the notification information. Is addressed to the same employee.

  Moreover, since the mediation server 2 generates the same user candidate list of users estimated to be the same user, a list generation that generates a list of company IDs and employee IDs related to the notification information estimated to be the same employee And the confirmation information transmitting means includes a company ID and an employee included in the received authentication information in order to confirm when the user based on the authentication information from the store terminal 5 is included in the same user candidate list. The confirmation information is transmitted when the user ID is included in the generated list.

In the same user confirmation screen displayed by the same user confirmation screen data, the company ID of the company estimated to belong to the user is displayed, and the user inputs authentication information (password). The information (same user confirmation screen data) is information for the terminal to perform a function of displaying a list of the different company IDs and receiving input of authentication information for the company IDs.
Then, in order to integrate into the account when authenticated by the authentication information, the received confirmation result includes the authentication information that accepted the input, and the integration means The integration is performed when authenticated.

  Further, the intermediary server 2 receives information for setting print items such as all prints, simple prints, and customized prints from the store terminal 5, and generates salary detail print data corresponding thereto, so that the print items are printed from the terminal. Print item setting information receiving means for receiving setting information is provided, and the print data generating means generates print data (salary statement print data) from the print items set in the received print item setting information.

  Further, the intermediary server 2 generates salary detail screen data to be displayed on the store terminal 5 using the searched salary detail data and transmits it to the store terminal 5, and when the salary details displayed on the store terminal 5 is in doubt. A display data transmission means for generating display data for displaying the retrieved notification information and transmitting it to the terminal for receiving confirmation from the employee and transferring it to the company server, and contents of the transmitted display data Confirmation request receiving means for receiving a confirmation request, and transfer means for transferring the received confirmation request to a predetermined transfer destination corresponding to the notification information.

Further, the intermediary server 2 separately generates the salary statement screen data and the salary statement print data and transmits them to the store terminal 5, so that the display data for displaying the retrieved notification information and the print data are separately transmitted. ing.
Further, since the mediation server 2 of the modification 2 generates the salary statement print data so as to automatically print the health insurance usage details with the printing of the salary details, the print data generating means includes one notification information When generating print data related to (salary details, etc.), print data of other notification information (such as health insurance usage details) corresponding to the company ID to which the one notification information belongs is added to the print data.
When the store terminal 5 prints the salary statement 10, the mediation server 2 receives and stores a print completion report from the store terminal 5, so that the notification content is printed by the transmitted print data. Print confirmation information receiving means for receiving confirmation information (print completion report) from the terminal and storing it is provided.
