As shown in the figure, the information processing system 1 includes a server device 10 functioning as an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention, an employer terminal 20, and a user terminal 30. ing. The server device 10 is connected to each of the employer terminal 20 and the user terminal 30 via a communication network such as the Internet.

The information processing system 1 realizes a prepayment service equivalent to salary. In this service, a worker employed by an employer (company, etc.) receives a part of the salary that he / she is entitled to pay as compensation for labor before the predetermined salary payment date. It is a service that can be done.

The server device 10 is an information processing device such as a server computer, and is managed by the provider of this service. As shown in FIG. 1, the server device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, and a communication unit 13.

The control unit 11 is configured to include at least one processor, and executes various information processing according to a program stored in the storage unit 12. A specific example of the processing executed by the control unit 11 will be described later. The storage unit 12 includes at least one memory device such as a RAM, and stores a program executed by the control unit 11 and data to be processed by the program. The communication unit 13 is an interface for connecting to a communication network wirelessly or by wire. The server device 10 is connected by the communication unit 13 so as to be capable of data communication with another information processing device.

The employer terminal 20 is an information processing device used by the employer, and may be a personal computer or the like. The employer periodically provides the worker's work data to the server device 10 using the employer terminal 20. This work data includes at least work record data showing the hours actually worked by the worker (work record). In addition, work schedule data indicating working hours (scheduled working hours) scheduled before the start of work may be included. In general, the person who actually operates the employer terminal 20 to provide the work data is not the employer himself but a person who has received instructions from the employer (for example, a person in charge of labor of the company). In the following, these persons are collectively referred to simply as employers.

The user terminal 30 is an information processing device used by a user (worker) of a service realized by the information processing system 1, and may be a stationary device such as a desktop computer, or a smartphone or tablet. It may be a portable device such as.

A display device 31 and an operation device 32 are connected to the user terminal 30. The display device 31 is a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or the like, and displays various screens drawn by the user terminal 30. The operation device 32 is a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, or the like, and receives an operation input from the user and outputs an operation signal indicating the content to the user terminal 30. The display device 31 and the operation device 32 may be separate devices connected to the user terminal 30 by wire or wireless communication, or may be a device built in the housing of the user terminal 30. May be good. By operating the operation device 32 while viewing the screen displayed by the display device 31, the user of this service applies for receiving the salary equivalent amount from the user terminal 30 to the server device 10.

Hereinafter, the functions realized by the server device 10 in the present embodiment will be described with reference to the functional block diagram of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the server device 10 is functionally configured to include a work data acquisition unit 51, an upper limit amount acquisition unit 52, an input screen presentation unit 53, and an application reception unit 54. These functions are realized by the control unit 11 executing a program stored in the storage unit 12. This program may be provided to the server device 10 via a communication network such as the Internet, or may be stored in a computer-readable information storage medium such as an optical disk and provided to the server device 10.

The work data acquisition unit 51 acquires work data transmitted from the employer terminal 20 and stores it in the storage unit 12. As mentioned above, the work data includes work record data showing the total working hours actually worked by each user of the Service employed by the employer in the past predetermined period. .. In addition, data on scheduled working hours (scheduled working data) indicating how long the user was scheduled to work in the past may be included. When a plurality of types of working hours having different hourly unit prices are included in the total working hours such as overtime hours, the working record data may include data indicating the working hours for each hourly unit price.

The employer shall periodically, for example, daily or once a week, send the work data up to that point for each of the users of the Service that he / she employs. The work data transmitted by the employer may include only the data on the work performance since the previous transmission, or may include the data on all the work performance since the previous salary closing date.

The upper limit acquisition unit 52 acquires the maximum payable amount for each user of this service. The maximum payable amount acquired by the maximum amount acquisition unit 52 is an amount calculated based on the work data acquired by the work data acquisition unit 51, and the user of this service has applied to receive the salary equivalent amount. The maximum amount that can be paid if. In the present embodiment, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 itself calculates the upper limit of payable amount of each user by using the work record data included in the work data acquired by the work data acquisition unit 51, so that the upper limit of payment is possible. The amount shall be obtained. Further, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 stores the acquired data of the maximum payable amount of each user in the storage unit 12.

Specifically, for example, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 is paid at the next salary payment according to the working hours up to that point by multiplying the past total working hours of each user by a predetermined hourly unit price. Calculate the estimated salary. Then, the maximum payable amount is calculated by multiplying the calculated planned salary by a given safety factor (for example, 70%). The information on the hourly unit price may be provided in advance by the employer and stored in the storage unit 12, or may be included in the work data together with the information on the working hours and provided. .. Here, the safety factor is a value of 100% or less, and may be a value arbitrarily determined by the service provider or the employer. In addition, the past total working hours of each user is the total value of working hours subject to salary payment after the start date of the aggregation target period. This working time may include the time actually worked by the worker, as well as the time corresponding to the paid leave for which the salary is paid. If the total working hours of users include multiple types of working hours (normal working hours, overtime hours, etc.) with different hourly unit prices, multiply each hour by the corresponding hourly unit price and then add them up. By doing so, the planned salary amount may be calculated.

Here, the aggregation target period is a target period of work performance used for calculating the maximum payable amount, and may be a period such as one month. This period should correspond to the reference period for employers to calculate salaries. Specifically, the aggregation target period is set so that the employee's monthly salary closing date is the last day of the aggregation target period. In this case, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 decides to switch the aggregation target period at a predetermined timing after the salary closing date (for example, the day after the salary closing date) every month, and the payment calculated based on the work data acquired so far at that timing. Reset the maximum possible amount to 0 yen. After that, based on the newly acquired work data for the next aggregation target period, the maximum payable amount to be used when the next receipt application is made is calculated.

Further, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 deducts the payment amount when the application reception unit 54, which will be described later, receives a receipt application from the user and pays the salary equivalent amount in response to the application within the current aggregation target period. Update the maximum payable amount to the amount you have paid. As a result, the application reception unit 54 can receive multiple receipt applications from the user within one aggregation target period, and the total amount paid in response to the multiple receipt applications is within the aggregation target period. It is possible not to exceed the maximum payable amount according to the total working hours.

The input screen presentation unit 53 presents a salary prepayment input screen to the user in response to a request from the user of this service. Specifically, the user terminal 30 transmits an input screen display request to the server device 10 in response to an operation on the operation device 32 by the user. Upon receiving this display request, the input screen presentation unit 53 of the server device 10 transmits data necessary for drawing the input screen (hereinafter referred to as input screen drawing data) to the requesting user terminal 30. In response to this, the user terminal 30 draws an input screen based on the transmitted input screen drawing data and displays it on the display device 31 to present it to the user.

For example, the function of the input screen presentation unit 53 may be realized by a web service or the like. In this case, the input screen presenting unit 53 uses the HTML data and Javascript (registered trademark) data necessary for drawing the web page of the input screen as the input screen drawing data in response to the HTTP request transmitted from the user terminal 30. Send. The browser program of the user terminal 30 draws an input screen by rendering a web page using the input screen drawing data received from the server device 10, and causes the display device 31 to display the input screen.

The input screen includes an application amount input field I for inputting an application amount desired by the user. The input screen presentation unit 53 refers to the data of the maximum payable amount acquired by the maximum amount acquisition unit 52, and inputs only the amount within the range not exceeding the maximum payable amount at that time in the application amount input field I. Present the user with a preset input screen to enable it. A specific example of the input screen in which the maximum payable amount is set will be described later. When the input screen is presented, the user inputs an operation to the operation device 32, inputs the application amount desired by himself / herself in the application amount input field I, and applies for receiving the input amount.

The application receiving unit 54 receives a receiving application including the contents input by the user for the input screen presented by the input screen presenting unit 53 from the user terminal 30. This receipt application includes information on the application amount entered by the user in the application amount input field I.

As described above, at the time when the input screen is presented to the user, the application amount input field I is restricted to input only the amount within the range not exceeding the maximum payable amount. Therefore, the application amount included in the receiving application transmitted from the user terminal 30 should be equal to or less than the payable upper limit amount calculated by the upper limit amount acquisition unit 52. As a result, it is possible to prevent an inconvenient situation for the user in which the user unintentionally applies for an amount exceeding the maximum payable amount and the payment is refused due to the excess of the maximum amount after the application. Further, since it is not necessary for the server device 10 to send a notification to the user terminal 30 that the payment is rejected after the receipt application is accepted, unnecessary communication can be avoided.

The application reception unit 54 that has received the receipt application may immediately start the payment processing of the application amount according to the receipt application, such as the transfer processing to the user. In addition, the payment process may be executed at a later timing according to a user's instruction or a predetermined condition. Alternatively, the application reception unit 54 once notifies the employer terminal 20 of the contents of the receipt application, and the employer operates the employer terminal 20 to indicate the intention to accept the application contents and then processes the payment. May be executed.

In addition, the provider of this service may make payment according to the user's application by using the payment funds prepared by the employer, such as by depositing money in a predetermined account, as a source of funds. In addition, the payment may be made by reimbursement from the payment resources prepared by the employee, and the paid amount may be billed to the employer later. In either case, when the application reception unit 54 pays the salary equivalent amount in response to the user's application, the payment record data including the payee user and the paid amount is provided to the employer. Notice. The employer refers to the payment record data notified from the server device 10 when calculating the salary to be paid to each worker employed by the employer based on the work record up to that point after the salary closing date. The amount already paid to the user of this service will be deducted from the salary.

Here, a specific example of the input screen presented by the input screen presentation unit 53 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of an input screen. As shown in the figure, information such as the amount that can be applied for advance payment and the date when the work record is reflected is displayed on the input screen. The prepaid application amount is the maximum amount that can be applied for, and represents the maximum amount that can be paid by the maximum amount acquisition unit 52. The work record reflection date represents the last day of the work data used to calculate the maximum payable amount, and the maximum payable amount is calculated based on the work record (working hours) up to this date. It is shown that. In the example of this figure, it is shown that the maximum payable amount was calculated by reflecting the work record up to April 22nd. Until the next time the employer provides new work data and the payable limit is updated, even if the user displays the input screen multiple times after a period of time, these payable limits and work The information on the performance reflection date will not change. The input screen presentation unit 53 may present not only the work record reflection date but also the first day of the work data used for calculating the maximum payable amount (that is, the start date of the aggregation target period) to the user. .. In addition, information such as the actual total working hours within the aggregation target period and the actual working hours of each day may be presented to the user.

Further, as described above, the input screen includes the application amount input field I. When the user selects the application amount input field I by tapping the application amount input field I in the state where this input screen is displayed, the drop-down list D as illustrated in FIG. 4 is displayed. This drop-down list D is a user interface for allowing the user to select one selection candidate from a plurality of selection candidates. Each of the plurality of selection candidates presented to the user indicates the application amount, and each of the selection candidates has an amount within the range not exceeding the maximum amount that can be paid to the user. When presenting an input screen according to a user's operation, the input screen presenting unit 53 determines a selection candidate to be presented based on the user's maximum payable amount, and input screen drawing data including the information. Is transmitted to the user terminal 30.

The plurality of selection candidates presented to the user may represent, for example, an amount of money that gradually increases in a given step size. Figure 4 shows an example of a drop-down list when the maximum amount is 65,000 yen and the step size is 1,000 yen. In this example, the minimum amount is 1,000 yen and the maximum amount is 65,000 yen. A total of 65 selection candidates are presented to the user in increments of increments. The step size does not necessarily have to be evenly spaced, and the total number of selection candidates presented to the user at one time may be reduced by, for example, increasing the step size as the amount of money increases.

When the user selects an application amount from a plurality of selection candidates included in the drop-down list D, the selected application amount is displayed in the application amount input field I. When the user performs an application procedure such as by pressing the application button in this state, a receiving application including the selected application amount is transmitted to the server device 10. In this embodiment, the operation of directly inputting a number or the like into the application amount input field I is restricted so that the user cannot execute the operation. As a result, when starting the presentation of the input screen, the user can input only the amount of any one of the plurality of selection candidates prepared in advance by the input screen presentation unit 53 as the application amount. Therefore, the application amount entered by the user using the input screen does not exceed the payable upper limit.

However, for the purpose of narrowing down the selection candidates, the application amount input field I in which the user can input a number may be arranged on the input screen. In this case, for example, when the user inputs one or two numbers in the box of the application amount input field I, only the selection candidates of the amount starting from the entered number are included in the drop-down list D, and other than that. Selection candidates are restricted so that they are not displayed. In this state, the user selects a desired application amount from the drop-down list D after the narrowing down is performed. According to such a user interface, the user can relatively easily select the application amount from a large number of selection candidates, while the final application amount entered in the application amount input field I is paid. It is possible not to exceed the maximum possible amount. In this example, when the user inputs a number that does not match any of the selection candidates in the application amount input field I, an error message indicating that the selection candidate does not match may be output.

Further, the input screen may include an upper limit input button B. When the user operates the upper limit input button B, the payable upper limit is entered in the application amount input field I. That is, the state is the same as when the application amount matching the payable upper limit is selected from the plurality of selection candidates included in the drop-down list D. By including such an upper limit input button B in the input screen, the user can apply for receiving the maximum amount that can be applied without taking the trouble of selecting a desired amount from a plurality of selection candidates. Regardless of the presence or absence of the upper limit input button B, the maximum payable amount may be set as the initial value when the input screen is presented in the application amount input field I. As a result, the user can apply for receipt with the maximum payable amount selected without performing any special operation on the application amount input field I.

Further, the input screen may include an operation item for the user to instruct the receiving method. In the example of FIG. 3, options for receiving methods prepared in advance, such as bank transfer and charging to electronic money, are presented so that the user can select the desired receiving method from the options. It has become. The option of this receiving method may be preset by the user. Further, in the example of FIG. 3, information on the transfer timing and the transfer fee is also displayed for each of the receiving methods. Note that FIG. 3 shows only an example, and the transfer timing and transfer fee may differ depending on the receiving method (for example, the bank to which the transfer is made), and the information may be different for each receiving method in advance. It may be related and stored in the storage unit 12.

In the examples of FIGS. 3 and 4, the selection candidates of the application amount are presented to the user by the drop-down list D. However, the user interface for presenting the selection candidate of the application amount to the user is not limited to such a user interface. For example, the input screen presentation unit 53 may present an input screen in a state in which a plurality of selection candidates are displayed in advance to the user, and let the user select one of the selection candidates by using a list box, a radio button, or the like. ..

Further, the application amount input field I may be composed of an application amount display field and two spin buttons. The two spin buttons in this example are a spin button that increases the application amount and a spin button that decreases the amount. When the user presses these spin buttons, the application amount displayed in the display column changes in the direction of increasing or decreasing according to the operation. At this time, the application amount after the change becomes the application amount close to the application amount displayed up to that point among the plurality of selection candidates. As a result, the user can select a desired application amount from a plurality of selection candidates by operating the spin button a plurality of times.

Further, the application amount input field I may be configured by an interface in which a number can be selected for each digit. In this case, in order to control the amount entered in the application amount input field I so as not to exceed the maximum payable amount, when one digit is selected, the other digit is selected in conjunction with it. You need to control to change the candidates. For example, such control can be realized by providing an interface that allows the user to select in order from the upper digit. As a specific example, if the maximum payable amount is 65,000 yen and you can apply in units of 1,000 yen, an interface (dropdown) that allows the user to select the numbers in the thousands and thousands on the input screen. List etc.) will be provided. Then, at the start of the presentation of the input screen, seven numbers from 0 to 6 for the tens digit are presented to the user as selection candidates, and about the tens digit until the tens digit is selected by the user. Is restricted in input so that it cannot be selected. When the user selects any of 1 to 5 as the tens digit on this input screen, 10 numbers from 0 to 9 for the tens digit are presented as selection candidates. On the other hand, if the user selects 0 as the myriad digit, 9 numbers from 1 to 9 for the thousands digit, and 0 for the thousands digit if 6 is selected as the myriad digit. Six numbers from to 5 are presented to the user as selection candidates. The user selects the number 1 as the thousands digit from the presented selection candidates. In this way, the user can select the application amount in the range of 1,000 yen to 65,000 yen so as not to exceed the maximum payable amount. In this example, if the user once selects a digit in the tens digit and then changes it to another digit, the input of the digit in the tens digit is reset at that point, and the digit is selected again. The selection candidate of the thousands digit corresponding to the ten thousand digits is presented to the user.

Regardless of which interface illustrated above is adopted, the input screen presentation unit 53 presets a plurality of selection candidates so as not to exceed the payable upper limit at the time of starting the presentation of the input screen, and these selection candidates are selected. An input screen including an application amount input field I in which only one of the above can be input as an application amount will be presented to the user. As a result, it is possible to suppress applications for an amount exceeding the maximum payable amount.

Hereinafter, a specific example of the flow of processing executed by the information processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. First, an example of the processing flow when the employer transmits work data from the employer terminal 20 will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

The employer uploads the latest work data using the employer terminal 20 at a predetermined timing (S1). This work data shall include work record data recorded after the previously uploaded work data for the N workers employed by the employer. In addition, as a specific example, it is assumed that the employer uploads work data every Monday. In this case, the work data uploaded every week will include the work record data for the last week of N workers.

The work data acquisition unit 51 of the server device 10 acquires the work data transmitted from the employer terminal 20 and stores it in the storage unit 12 (S2). When the work data is acquired, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 refers to the work data acquired this time and the work data acquired and recorded in the past for the target worker, and is currently subject to aggregation. Calculate the total working hours in the period (S3). Then, using the calculated working hours, the maximum payable amount at that time is calculated and recorded in the storage unit 12 (S4). This process is executed for each of the N workers whose work data includes information on work performance (S5).

By executing the process described above each time the work data is acquired, the server device 10 always holds information on the maximum amount that can be paid to each user based on the latest work data at that time. ..

Next, an example of the processing flow when the user applies for receipt will be described with reference to the sequence diagram of FIG.

First, the user operates the user terminal 30 owned by the user to perform user authentication (S11). Specifically, for example, the user executes the browser program of the user terminal 30 to access the login screen of the service, and is authenticated by the server device 10 by inputting the user account name and password. The user authentication is not limited to the input of the password, and may be performed by various methods such as biometric authentication. Further, the user authentication may be performed by transmitting the authentication information such as the digital certificate stored in the user terminal 30 to the server device 10.

After the user is authenticated and logged in to the site of this service, the user requests the presentation of the application amount input screen by performing a predetermined operation on the screen after login (S12). Here, it is assumed that the user must operate in order to further request the presentation of the input screen after the user authentication is performed, but the input screen is presented to the user immediately after the user authentication. It may be done. In this case, the user's operation performed for user authentication is also a request for presenting the input screen.

Further, when the user who uses this service is employed by a plurality of employers, the input screen presentation unit 53 first presents the employer selection screen after the user logs in. In this case, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 also calculates the maximum payable amount for each employer based on the work data provided by each of the plurality of employers to the user. When the user selects one employer while the selection screen is displayed, the input screen presentation unit 53 uses the payable upper limit calculated based on the work data of the user provided by the selected employer. Use the forehead to perform subsequent processing. As a result, users who are employed by multiple employers who use this service and have a side job can receive payment for the amount equivalent to the salary to be paid by each employer before the salary payment date.

Upon receiving the input screen presentation request, the input screen presentation unit 53 of the server device 10 reads out the information on the maximum payable amount recorded by the process of S4 described above for the user authenticated in S11 (S13). .. Then, the selection candidate of the application amount to be presented to the user is determined within the range not exceeding the payable upper limit amount, and the input screen drawing data for presenting the selection candidate to the user is generated (S14). This input screen drawing data is transmitted to the user terminal 30 (S15).

The user terminal 30 draws an input screen of the application amount based on the input screen drawing data transmitted in S15, and displays it on the display device 31 (S16). While browsing this input screen, the user performs an operation of selecting an application amount from a plurality of selection candidates and inputting it into the application amount input field I (S17). After that, when the user operates the application button, the user terminal 30 transmits an application for receiving the salary equivalent amount to the server device 10 (S18). The transmitted data includes information on the application amount selected by the user. The application receiving unit 54 of the server device 10 accepts the receiving application and performs the payment procedure of the applied amount (S19). Then, the payable upper limit is deducted from the payable upper limit of the user recorded in S4 to update the payable upper limit, and the payment result is notified to the employer terminal 20 (S20). ..

According to the server device 10 according to the present embodiment described above, the application amount that can be input in the application amount input field I is limited to the payable upper limit amount or less calculated in advance before the presentation of the input screen. Will not apply for an amount that exceeds the maximum payable amount, which can improve convenience for the user.

The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to those described above. For example, in the above description, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 calculates the maximum payable amount of each user each time the work data is transmitted from the employer terminal 20. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper limit acquisition unit 52 may calculate the maximum payable amount at any time between the time when the work data is transmitted and the time when the input screen is presented to the user.

As an example, the employer terminal 20 temporarily uploads work data to a predetermined storage area, and the upper limit acquisition unit 52 periodically checks whether new work data is added to this storage area, and new work. When data is added, the latest payable upper limit may be calculated using the data. The storage area in this example may be an area reserved in the server device 10 or an area in an external storage device communicatively connected to the server device 10.

Alternatively, the work data acquisition unit 51 records the work data received from the employee terminal 20 and the payment record data up to that point in the storage unit 12, and the upper limit acquisition unit 52 allows the user to use this service. The maximum amount that can be paid at that time may be calculated at the timing when the user authentication is performed by starting the above or when the user makes a request for presentation of the input screen. Further, the maximum payable amount may be calculated by an information processing device different from the server device 10 and provided to the server device 10. In any case, before the input screen is presented to the user, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 acquires the information on the maximum payable amount updated based on the latest work data provided by the employer at that time. By doing so, the input screen presentation unit 53 can present the user with an input screen including the application amount input field I in which the application amount can be input within a range not exceeding the payable upper limit amount.

Further, at least a part of the processing determined to be executed by the server device 10 in the above description may be executed by the user terminal 30. For example, the user terminal 30 acquires information on the maximum payable amount provided by the server device 10 by executing the installed application program, and inputs the application amount within the range not exceeding the acquired maximum payable amount. An input screen including a possible application amount input field I may be presented according to the operation of the user. In this case, the user terminal 30 operates as the information processing device according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Further, in the above explanation, it is decided that the calculation of the maximum payable amount based on the work data is performed by the same formula for a plurality of users. However, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 may change the value of the parameter used in calculating the payable upper limit for each employee and / or for each user. For example, the hourly unit price and the safety factor used to calculate the maximum payable amount may be different values for each individual user. As a specific example, when the employer pays the amount equivalent to salary using the funds for payment prepared by depositing money in a predetermined account, the safety rate is changed according to the balance of the funds for payment. You may. In this case, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 refers to the balance of the funds for payment at that time at the timing when the user requests the presentation of the input screen, and pays using the safety factor determined according to the balance. Calculate the maximum possible amount. Then, the input screen presentation unit 53 immediately generates input screen drawing data using the calculated upper limit of payable amount and transmits it to the user terminal 30. As a result, it is possible to realize control such as lowering the maximum payable amount when the balance of funds for payment is low.

Further, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 may change the value of the parameter used for calculating the payable upper limit based on the information included in the work data provided by the employer. For example, if the working data includes not only working hours but also scheduled working hours, the upper limit acquisition unit 52 calculates the ratio of working hours to the scheduled working hours within the current aggregation target period, and uses the calculated ratio. Change the safety rate accordingly. In this way, for workers who have a large ratio of actual working hours to the planned working hours, the safety rate is set high and the maximum payable amount is set high, and the ratio of actual working hours is small. For, it is possible to control the safety rate to be low, the value of the maximum payable amount to be small, and the maximum payable amount to be small.
