The asset registration process for the purchased product will be described.

  First, the product purchase module 13 of the user use terminal 10 communicates with the EC server 300 and transmits a product purchase request for a product to be purchased (step S11). Usually, the purchase request includes product information, quantity, payment information, and the like.

  The purchase processing module 303 of the EC server 300 receives the product purchase request (step S12), and executes a product purchase process (step S13).

  More specifically, these series of product purchase procedures display product information described in HTML (HyperText Markup Language) or the like with a browsing function provided in the user use terminal 10 and the user browses the product information. When a purchase decision is made, a purchase request for the product is transmitted. The purchase processing by the EC server 300 includes, in addition to execution of settlement, specifically, a shipping procedure for goods, a license issuance process for software, and the like.

  When the product purchase process is completed, the product purchase email transmission module 304 of the EC server 300 confirms that the purchase procedure has been completed, the product information, the result of the settlement process, etc. A product purchase e-mail including is transmitted (step S14).

In the merchandise purchase mail as shown in FIG. 5, in addition to the merchandise name 51, the quantity 52, and the price 53, the payment method 54 is always described. In addition, it is necessary to exclude meaningless information such as the message 55 and extract necessary information. However, since such automatically transmitted mail is generated according to a fixed format, purchase information can be extracted by registering a pattern in which the format is processed in reverse order.

  The product information acquisition module 206 acquires product information for the product included in the purchase information (step S18). If you want to acquire more detailed product information, the product information acquisition module 206 uses the API of the electronic commerce site, searches the product name with a search engine, or refers to the manufacturer site, web mining, etc. More detailed product information may be acquired.

  Next, the account item identification module 207 of the accounting registration server 200 identifies an account item for the purchased product (step S19). Here, both the debit account item by the product and the credit account item by the payment method are specified.

  Since the debit account item is uniquely determined by the item and type of the product, it may be determined by referring to the product identifier and the product category that can be acquired as product information therefrom. Moreover, when the account item of goods is designated separately from the user, it may be used. These account items may be listed or databased and stored in the storage unit, and may be used in specifying account items of products related to the user or other users.

  As for the account items, the accounting registration server 200 may set a plurality of e-mail addresses for each account item in advance and divide the transmission destinations, thereby using the corresponding account items. As mentioned above, it is not preferable to add information to the automatically generated e-mail, and it may be troublesome for the user and impair the convenience. Information can be specified.

  Next, the transaction information registration module 210 of the transaction registration server 200 registers the purchase date, the product name, the price, the account item, and the like for the purchased product in the transaction information database 251 (step S20). As a result, the contents of the accounting information database 251 can be directly used as an accounting book.

  FIG. 8 is an example of an accounting information table in the accounting information database 251. In the accounting information table, purchase date, product details, amount, debit account item, and credit account item are associated and stored. In addition, the credit account item is a normal deposit in the case of bank transfer, but a different process is performed such that the credit card is temporarily unpaid when using a credit card. Further, when each accounting item is registered as an asset, the related asset ID may be associated and can be referred to.

  FIG. 6 is an example of a notification mail that is automatically transmitted to the user use terminal 10 after accounting registration. In the mail, in addition to the message 61 and the detailed explanation 62, if there is a special remark item 63, that fact is described. In this example, it is warned that an asset whose acquisition price exceeds 100,000 yen needs to be depreciated. After the user completes the electronic commerce, the user can know that the account registration has been performed by automatically receiving the product purchase mail and the account registration completion mail as shown in FIG.

  Next, the asset registration module 209 of the accounting registration server 200 registers the purchased product as an asset in the asset database 250 based on the purchase information and the product information (step S21).

  Further, in response to a request from the accounting registration server 200 or the like, the EC server 300 transmits a manual and a warranty card associated with the product name and product code for the purchased product (step S21). When the accounting registration server 200 receives a manual and a warranty for the purchased product based on the purchase information (step S22), the asset registration module 209 registers the manual and the warranty in the asset database 250 in association with the purchased product registered as an asset. (Step S23).

  FIG. 7 is an example of an asset table in the asset database 250. The asset table stores the purchase date of the product, the purchase store, the product name, the price, the quantity, the warranty period, and the presence / absence of a manual, and the past purchase history can be browsed in a list. Each asset is assigned a unique asset ID. Although the contents of one user are displayed here, the assets of a plurality of users may be managed in one table by associating the user ID with each asset. The manual may store not only presence / absence but also URL, file name, and manual data itself. Note that when the asset ID is stored in the accounting information table, it is necessary to be able to refer to the asset ID in the asset table.

  The above is the procedure of the purchased product registration process executed by the user use terminal 10, the transaction registration server 200, and the EC server 300.
