The control unit 11 functions as a first communication unit 13, a second communication unit 14, a journal processing unit 15, a point processing unit 16, and the like according to the program 12. Program 12 is also referred to as an accounting program. The accounting processing server 10 is also referred to as an accounting processing device. The processor is not limited to one CPU, and may be configured to perform processing by a plurality of CPUs or a hardware circuit such as an ASIC, or a configuration in which the CPU and the hardware circuit cooperate to perform processing. May be.

The storage unit 17 is, for example, a storage means composed of a hard disk drive and a non-volatile memory, and stores the journal engine 19, the request destination evaluation table 20, and the like in advance. The journal engine 19 is a kind of program. Not only the program 12 but also the journal engine 19 may be included in the accounting program. Alternatively, the journal engine 19 may be interpreted as part of program 12. Further, the control unit 11 that executes the journal engine 19 as a program may be referred to as a journal processing unit 15. The communication IF 18 is a general term for one or more IFs for the accounting server 10 to communicate with the outside through a network NW in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol including a known communication standard.

The accounting processing server 10 is communicably connected to the SNS server 70. The SNS server 70 realizes a system that provides a predetermined SNS to a user. Generally, various types of SNS are used by many users. In the present embodiment, the specific example of the SNS provided by the SNS server 70 is not particularly limited. In the following, the term SNS means the SNS provided by the SNS server 70.

The first terminal 30 and the second terminal 40 are realized by, for example, a personal computer (PC), a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone, or a communication device having a processing capacity equivalent to those. The first terminal 30 includes a control unit 31, a display unit 34, an operation reception unit 35, a communication IF 36, and the like. The control unit 31 includes one or a plurality of ICs having a CPU 31a, a ROM 31b, a RAM 31c, etc. as a processor, another memory, and the like.

In the control unit 31, the processor (CPU 31a) controls the first terminal 30 by executing arithmetic processing according to the program stored in the ROM 31b or the like using the RAM 31c or the like as a work area. The control unit 31 executes the application 32 as one of the programs. The application 32 is an application for using the SNS on the terminal.

The display unit 34 is a means for displaying visual information, and is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic EL display, or the like. The display unit 34 may be configured to include a display and a drive circuit for driving the display. The operation receiving unit 35 is a means for receiving an operation by the user, and is realized by, for example, a physical button, a touch panel, a mouse, a keyboard, or the like. Of course, the touch panel may be realized as one function of the display unit 34. The communication IF 36 is a general term for one or a plurality of IFs for the first terminal 30 to communicate with the outside through a network NW in accordance with a predetermined communication protocol including a known communication standard.
The configuration of the second terminal 40 is basically the same as that of the first terminal 30, including the fact that it is equipped with an application for using the SNS on the terminal, and thus the description thereof will be omitted.

In the present embodiment, the user who operates the first terminal 30 is called a "client", and the user who operates the second terminal 40 is called a "journalist". Of course, there are a plurality of first terminals 30 and second terminals 40, respectively. The client is a user who uses the service (journalization service) provided by the accounting processing server 10, that is, a user who requests a voucher journal entry. For example, a sole proprietor, a representative of a corporation, a person in charge of accounting or accounting in a corporation, etc. correspond to a client. On the other hand, the journalist is an expert or expert who has knowledge and experience of journalizing, and is registered in the accounting processing server 10 as a person who provides a part of the journalizing service. That is, an individual with journalizing ability is registered as a journalist in the journalizing service. The accounting processing server 10 provides a high-quality journalizing service to the client by utilizing the ability of the journalizing person.

2. 2. Voucher journal entry by system:
2 and 3 show a flow chart of the entire process according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 shows the processing on the first terminal 30 side, the processing on the first account side, and a part of the processing on the server 10 side. FIG. 3 shows a part of the server 10 side processing, the second account side processing, and the second terminal 40 side processing. At least some of these flowcharts show accounting methods. It should be noted that not all of the steps in these flowcharts are essential steps in this embodiment.

The processing on the first terminal 30 side shown in FIG. 2 is realized by the function of the application 32. Similarly, the processing on the second terminal 40 side shown in FIG. 3 is realized by the function of the SNS application mounted on the second terminal 40. Further, the server 10-side processing shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 is realized by the control unit 11 that executes the program 12 on the accounting processing server 10. Further, the first account side processing shown in FIG. 2 and the second account side processing shown in FIG. 3 are realized by the SNS server 70.

The first account is one of the accounts set up by the accounting server 10 to use the SNS. The control unit 11 uses the first account as its own SNS account to communicate with the client, that is, the client's first terminal 30. In other words, the client can exchange messages and the like with the accounting processing server 10 through the SNS by registering the first account in the SNS application. The second account is also one of the accounts set up by the accounting server 10 to use the SNS. The control unit 11 uses the second account as its own SNS account to communicate with the journalist, that is, the journalist's second terminal 40. In other words, the journalist can exchange messages and the like with the accounting processing server 10 through the SNS by registering the second account in the application of the SNS.

The program 12, that is, the control unit 11 that executes the program 12, receives communication addressed to the first account or the second account through the API (Application Programming Interface) which is an IF with the program on the SNS server 70 side, and the first Data transmission from one account or a second account can be executed by the SNS server 70.

In step S100, the first terminal 30 acquires voucher data, which is electronic data of the voucher. For example, the client takes a picture of a receipt issued at a store when purchasing a product with a camera provided in the first terminal 30 as a smartphone. The first terminal 30 acquires an image of such a receipt as voucher data. Further, the client may have the scanner read the receipt, and the first terminal 30 as a PC may acquire the image as the reading result of the receipt from the scanner as voucher data.

In step S101, the first terminal 30 transmits the voucher data acquired in step S100 to the accounting processing server 10. However, in this case, the first terminal 30 transmits the voucher data to the first account. The process of step S101 corresponds to the voucher journal entry request by the first terminal 30.

FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show an example of an SNS screen (SNS screen 50) displayed on the display unit 34 of the first terminal 30 by the application 32, respectively. The SNS screen 50 displays the communication between the client, that is, the client's SNS account and the first account in the form of a timeline. FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 show how the contents of the SNS screen 50 transition. In FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, each message indicated by the reference numeral "M1-" is generated by the program 12 as a message on the first account side and transmitted from the SNS server 70 to the client's SNS account. ..

The message M1-1 in the SNS screen 50 of FIG. 4 is a message urging the client to transmit the voucher data. That is, the client operates the first terminal 30 by seeing the message M1-1 and causes the first terminal 30 to execute steps S100 and S101. The image P1 in the SNS screen 50 of FIG. 4 is an image obtained by photographing the receipt R, and is an example of the voucher data acquired in step S100 and transmitted in step S101.

In step S200, the SNS server 70 receives the voucher data transmitted from the first terminal 30 to the first account, and transmits the received voucher data to the accounting processing server 10.
In step S300, the first communication unit 13 receives the voucher data transmitted to the first account from the SNS server 70.

The client sends not only the voucher data as an image generated by taking a voucher such as a receipt with a camera or scanning it with a scanner, but also additional information useful for journalizing the voucher from the first terminal 30. be able to. That is, the client may input a message as additional information on the SNS screen 50 by operating the first terminal 30 and send the input message together with the voucher data to the first account (step S101). good. The additional information may be a message that supplements the content of the voucher, for example, "Breakfast charges for business trips."

The method of inputting additional information by the client may be character (text) input via the operation reception unit 35, or voice input to a microphone (not shown) included in the first terminal 30. The client sends additional information by character data or voice data together with the voucher data from the first terminal 30 to the first account, and the first communication unit 13 adds the voucher data in step S300 through step S200. Receive information.

In step S301, the journal processing unit 15 executes the journal of the voucher data received in step S300. When additional information is received together with the voucher data in step S300, in step S301, the journal processing unit 15 executes the journal using the additional information as well. The journal entry in step S301 is a journal entry by the accounting processing server 10, that is, an automatic journal entry.

The journal processing unit 15 executes journalizing of voucher data using the journal engine 19. In this case, the journal processing unit 15 executes character recognition (OCR: Optical Character Recognition) processing on the voucher data to convert the characters represented in the voucher data as an image into character data. If the additional information received together with the voucher data is voice data, the voice data as additional information is also converted into character data. Then, the journal processing unit 15 starts the journal engine 19, causes the journal engine 19 to input voucher data and additional information as character data, and acquires the result of the journal output from the journal engine 19.

As an example, the journal engine 19 is a journaling model created by machine learning. More specifically, the journal engine 19 is a journal model created by the Deep Learning technique, which is one of machine learning. Such a journal engine 19 inputs a large amount of learning character data (a voucher as a sample and additional information) into a multi-layered neural network, so that the transaction details and additional information described in the voucher are characterized and accounts. The correspondence with and has been learned, and it is pre-built so that the journal result can be generated from the entered voucher.

The result of the journal executed by the journal processing unit 15 using the journal engine 19 in step S301 is referred to as a "provisional journal result". This is because the result of the journal entry in step S301 may be corrected in step S310 described later.

In step S303, the first communication unit 13 transmits the request for additional information to the first terminal 30 from which the voucher data received in step S300 is transmitted. However, the request transmitted by the first communication unit 13 in step S303 is once received by the SNS server 70 (step S201). The SNS server 70 transmits the once received request as transmission data from the first account to the first terminal 30 from which the voucher data is transmitted (step S201).

As can be seen from FIG. 2, step S303 is not always executed, but is executed when additional information is required. The case where additional information is required includes, for example, the case where the voucher data received in step S300 does not have additional information. Further, in step S301, the case where the result of the journal output from the journal engine 19 indicates an error, that is, a journal failure, also corresponds to the case where additional information is required. The journal processing unit 15 determines whether or not additional information is required in step S302 after step S301, and if additional information is required (“Yes” in step S302), the first communication unit 13 is contacted. Step S303 is executed. On the other hand, if additional information is not required (“No” in step S302), the process proceeds to step S305. If step S303 is not executed, steps S201, S202 as the first account side processing and steps S102, S103, S103A, S104, S105, S105A as the first terminal 30 side processing are not executed, and step S304 is not executed either. ..

In step S102, the first terminal 30 receives the request for additional information from the SNS server 70, that is, from the first account.
In step S103, the first terminal 30 causes the display unit 34 to display the request for additional information received in step S102.

By seeing the request for additional information displayed on the display unit 34, the client recognizes that additional information is required for journalizing the voucher data, and inputs the additional information via the operation reception unit 35. .. The first terminal 30 accepts the input of additional information by such a client (step S104).
Then, in step S105, the first terminal 30 transmits the additional information received in step S104 to the accounting processing server 10, that is, to the first account.

In step S202, the SNS server 70 receives the additional information transmitted from the first terminal 30 to the first account, and transmits the received additional information to the accounting processing server 10.
In step S304, the first communication unit 13 receives the additional information transmitted to the first account from the SNS server 70.

FIG. 5 shows the SNS screen 50 after a lapse of time from the state shown in FIG. The message M1-2 is a message notifying the client that the journal entry of the voucher data is to be started. Although not particularly shown in the flowchart of FIG. 2, the first communication unit 13 sends the message M1-2 via the SNS server 70 after receiving the voucher data in step S300 and before step S301. It can be transmitted to the first terminal 30 of the transmission source of the above and displayed in the SNS screen 50.

The message M1-3 is an example of requesting additional information displayed on the SNS screen 50 in step S103. Message M1-3 is the result of the journal entry in step S301, that is, the provisional journal entry result, to the client, for example, "I think it is a" consumables cost ", but would you like to add a intended use?" While conveying the contents of the transaction, he asks the purpose and purpose of the transaction indicated by the voucher. The message UM is a message input by the client in response to the request for additional information, that is, the content of the input received by the first terminal 30 in step S104. In response to a request for additional information, the client may enter, for example, "breakfast charges for business trips."

In the example of FIG. 5, the message M1-4 and the message M1-5 are also displayed on the SNS screen 50. The messages M1-4 and M1-5 are examples of messages displayed on the SNS screen 50 during or before and after steps S103 to S105. The message M1-4 is displayed at the timing of step S103A, and the message M1-5 is displayed at the timing of step S105A.

In the message M1-3, in addition to the character string such as "I think it is probably" consumables cost ", do you want to add the intended use?", There are selection fields for "Yes" and "No". .. The client notifies the accounting server 10 via the SNS server 70 whether or not he / she intends to input additional information by tapping or clicking either of the "Yes" and "No" selection fields. .. When "Yes" is selected, that is, when the first communication unit 13 is notified that it intends to input additional information, the first communication unit 13 sends the message M1-4 via the SNS server 70 to the source of the voucher data. It is transmitted to the first terminal 30 and displayed in the SNS screen 50.

The message M1-4 has a content such as, for example, "Please tell me the intended use to be added." Such a message M1-4 can also be said to be one of the messages as a request for additional information by the accounting processing server 10. .. The message M1-5 is a message notifying the client that the additional information has been input in response to the request for the additional information and that the journalizing professional, that is, the journalizing person is to make the journal entry from now on. The first communication unit 13 that has received the additional information in step S304 transmits the message M1-5 to the first terminal 30 that is the source of the voucher data via the SNS server 70, and displays the message M1-5 in the SNS screen 50. In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the exchange between the first terminal 30, the SNS server 70, and the accounting server 10 for the first terminal 30 to display the message M1-4 and the message M1-5 in the SNS screen 50 is described. Is omitted.

If "No" in the message M1-3 is selected by the client, the first communication unit 13 will be notified that there is no intention to input additional information, and in that case, the server 10 side processing. To step S305. The reference numeral NS in FIG. 2 has no intention of inputting additional information transmitted from the first terminal 30 to the accounting server 10 via the SNS server 70 when "No" is selected in the message M1-3. A notice to that effect is shown. That is, when the notification NS is made as a response corresponding to the display of step S103 (message M1-3), steps S103A, S104, S105, S105A, S202, and S304 are not executed.

In step S305, the second communication unit 14 determines one or more request destinations for journalizing the voucher data received in step S300. The request destination is a destination for sending a journal request, and in a configuration in which the accounting processing server 10 exchanges information with a journalist via an SNS, the account of the journalist on the SNS is the request destination. Determining the journal request destination is essentially determining the journalist.

The method of determining the request destination in step S305 will be described.
In the present embodiment, the second communication unit 14 determines a request destination from a plurality of request destinations (registration request destinations) registered in advance in the accounting processing server 10. Since the registration request destination is recorded in the request destination evaluation table 20, the second communication unit 14 determines the request destination with reference to the request destination evaluation table 20.

FIG. 7 shows an example of the request destination evaluation table 20. The request destination evaluation table 20 records the SNS accounts of a plurality of registration request destinations, that is, a plurality of journalists, and the abilities and request status of each registration request destination. The ability of the registration request destination is the ability related to journal entry, and is composed of, for example, field and grade elements. Generally, various styles and types of vouchers are issued in various fields such as the medical industry, the food and beverage industry, the real estate industry, and agriculture. Therefore, a person registered in the accounting server 10 as a journalist declares a field in which he / she is good at. For example, a person who is good at journalizing vouchers related to the medical field declares the medical field. In the request destination evaluation table 20, the fields declared by each journalist in this way are recorded as one element of the ability. Of course, a plurality of fields may be recorded for one registration request destination.

The performance as one element of the ability is an evaluation of the journals executed by the journalist in response to the request from the accounting server 10. As will be described later, for the journal entry made by the journalist, the journal entry processing unit 15 determines whether the journal entry result is a correct answer or an incorrect answer. Therefore, the higher the number of correct answers for journal entries made in the past, or the higher the correct answer rate for journal entries made in the past, the higher the score. In the request destination evaluation table 20, the results of one registration request destination are recorded for each field of the one registration request destination.

The request status of the registration request destination is the current status of the journal request, which is either accepted or unaccepted. Specifically, the accounting processing server 10 is a period from sending a journal request to one request destination to receiving journal result data from the one request destination (steps S306 to S307 in FIG. 3). Period) shall be the period of "accepting" of the one requestee. The accounting processing server 10 determines whether or not the request status is applicable during acceptance for each registration request destination, and only when the request status is applicable during acceptance, the request status in the request destination evaluation table 20 is changed from "non-acceptance" to "non-acceptance". Switch to "Accepting".

Further, the request destination evaluation table 20 may record the requestable time zone as shown in FIG. 7. The requestable time zone is a time zone in which each person registered in the accounting processing server 10 as a journalist declares at his / her own convenience, and means a day of the week or a time zone in which a journal entry request can be received.

The second communication unit 14 determines one or more (N) request destinations from the registration request destinations according to the type of voucher data received in step S300. For example, N = 5. The control unit 11 determines that the voucher data received in step S300 is voucher data of an industry preset for the client. The control unit 11 holds in advance a table in which the requester (identification information such as the requester's SNS account) and the requester's industry are associated with each other, and the requester is the source of the voucher data. The corresponding industry, that is, the type of voucher data, can be determined.

Then, when the voucher data received in step S300 is, for example, a medical-related type voucher, the second communication unit 14 refers to the request destination evaluation table 20 and has a medical ability from among the registration request destinations. Determine N request destinations corresponding to the field. However, in this case, the second communication unit 14 determines N registration request destinations having higher grades as the request destinations among the registration request destinations whose abilities correspond to the medical field. In addition, the second communication unit 14 determines the registration request destination whose request status is "non-accepted" as the request destination. Further, the second communication unit 14 may determine the registration request destination including the current date and time in the requestable time zone as the request destination.

Considering each of these conditions, the second communication unit 14 has the ability in the field corresponding to the type of voucher data received in step S300, which is the registration request destination recorded in the request destination evaluation table 20. Among the registration request destinations that have, the request status is "non-accepted", and the current date and time are included in the requestable time zone, N registration request destinations with the highest grades are determined as the request destination.

However, the control unit 11 may not be able to determine the type of the voucher data received in step S300. Therefore, when the type of voucher data received in step S300 is unknown, the second communication unit 14 may request results, request status, requestable time zone, etc., regardless of the field to which the request destination corresponds. Based on the conditions, N request destinations may be determined from the registration request destinations recorded in the request destination evaluation table 20.

In step S306 (see FIG. 3), the second communication unit 14 transmits a journal entry request to the N request destinations determined in step S305. However, the journal entry request transmitted by the second communication unit 14 in step S306 is once received by the SNS server 70 (step S400). The second communication unit 14 sends N request destination accounts to the SNS server 70 together with the journal request, and the SNS server 70 uses the once received journal request as transmission data from the second account for N. It is sent to each requesting account (step S400).

The processing on the second terminal 40 side shown in FIG. 3 shows the processing on the second terminal 40 operated by the journalist corresponding to one of the N request destinations determined in step S305. The journal request transmitted in step S306 is data obtained by adding the additional information received in steps S300 and S304, the provisional journal result, and the like to the voucher data received in step S300. However, if the additional information of the voucher data has not been received by the time of step S305, the journal request transmitted in step S306 does not include the additional information.

In step S500, the second terminal 40 receives the journal entry request from the SNS server 70, that is, from the second account.
In step S501, the second terminal 40 causes the screen based on the journal entry request received in step S500 to be displayed on a display unit (not shown) included in the second terminal 40.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show an example of an SNS screen (SNS screen 60) displayed on the display unit of the second terminal 40 by the SNS application, respectively. The SNS screen 60 displays the communication between the journalist, that is, the journalist's SNS account and the second account in the form of a timeline. FIGS. 8 and 9 show how the contents of the SNS screen 60 transition.

The area of the image P1 and the message M2-1 in the SNS screen 60 of FIG. 8 is an example of a screen based on a journal request, which is displayed as a post from the second account side in step S501, and is referred to as a journal request screen here. Call. The image P1 is an image of the receipt R as described above, and is displayed based on the voucher data included in the journal entry request. The message M2-1 includes a message requesting a journalist to make a journal entry, for example, "Please register on the journal entry screen." In addition, the message M2-1 includes a message such as "I think the debit is" consumables "" to inform the journalist of the contents of the provisional journal result, and "The purpose of use is" breakfast fee for business trips ". It contains a message that conveys the content of the additional information entered by the client, such as "It seems."

Further, the message M2-1 is provided with selection fields for "First, view the receipt" and "To the journal entry screen". By tapping or clicking the selection field of "First, view the receipt", the journalist displays the enlarged image of the receipt, that is, the enlarged image of the image P1 on the display unit of the second terminal 40, and the journalist makes the journal entry. You can see the target receipt in detail. Further, the journalist switches the display on the display unit of the second terminal 40 from the SNS screen 60 to the journal screen 61 by tapping or clicking the selection field of "to journal screen". That is, the second terminal 40 causes the journal entry screen 61 to be displayed on the display unit after the journal entry request screen is displayed (step S502). The journal entry screen 61 is also a kind of screen based on the journal entry request received in step S500.

FIG. 10 shows an example of the journal entry screen 61 displayed on the display unit of the second terminal 40. On the journal screen 61, an input field W1 for inputting a payment date, an input field W2 for inputting an amount, an input field W3 for inputting a debit account, and an input for inputting a credit account. A column W4 and a registration button RB are included. The journalist operates the second terminal 40 and inputs information that he / she thinks is correct in the input fields W1 to W4 based on the contents of the receipt R shown in the image P1. FIG. 10 shows a journal entry screen 61 in a state where an input is made to each input field W1 to W4 by a journalist. The second terminal 40 accepts the input by the journalist to such a journal screen 61, that is, the input of the journal by the journalist (step S503).

The journal screen 61 may display the contents of the provisional journal result in each of the input fields W1 to W4 in a state before the input by the journalist. If the content of the provisional journal result is displayed in each input field W1 to W4, the journalist only needs to correct the item that seems to be incorrect in the provisional journal result, which makes the work of the journalist easier. ..

The journalist taps or clicks the registration button RB after completing the input in each input field W1 to W4. The second terminal 40 uses the content input in each input field W1 to W4, that is, the journal entry result by the journalist, as the journal entry result data in the accounting processing server when the registration button RB on the journal entry screen 61 is operated. It is transmitted to 10 (step S504). At this time, the second terminal 40 transmits the journal result data to the second account.

In step S401, the SNS server 70 receives the journal result data transmitted from the second terminal 40 to the second account, and transmits the received journal result data to the accounting server 10.
In step S307, the second communication unit 14 receives the journal result data transmitted to the second account from the SNS server 70.

In step S308, the journal processing unit 15 determines whether or not the journal results of the predetermined number of N request destinations, for example, half or more of the request destinations match, and the predetermined number of the N request destinations. If the journal entries of the above request destinations match, the process proceeds to step S310. FIG. 3 shows the exchange between the accounting processing server 10 and one second terminal 40 as a journal request destination, but the second communication unit 14 inputs journal result data from each of the N request destinations. Receive. Therefore, for example, if N = 5, the journal processing unit 15 determines “Yes” in step S308 when the contents of the journal result data from three or more of the five request destinations match. To step S310. Note that the matching journal results mean that all the contents (payment date, amount, debit account, credit account) of the journal result data to be compared match. On the other hand, if the condition that the journal entry results of the predetermined number or more of the N request destinations match is not satisfied (“No” in step S308), the journal processing unit 15 proceeds to step S309.

In step S309, the journal processing unit 15 newly determines one journal request destination, that is, adds one request destination, and executes the transmission of the journal request to the added request destination to the second communication unit 14. Let me. The method of determining the request destination in step S309 follows step S305. However, in step S309, the journal processing unit 15 determines the request destination from the registration request destinations excluding the request destination determined in step S305. The flow after the transmission of the journal entry request to the request destination added in this way is as described in the processes after step S306. Therefore, after step S309, the journal processing unit 15 waits for a process (step S307) in which the second communication unit 14 receives the journal result data from the request destination added in step S309. The journal processing unit 15 increases the value of N by the number of request destinations added in step S309 with the execution of step S309. In step S308, which has undergone step S307 after step S309, the journal processing unit 15 again determines whether or not the journal results of a predetermined number (for example, half) or more of the N request destinations match. Then, the process proceeds to step S309 or step S310.

In addition, the journal processing unit 15 with respect to the time required from the transmission of the journal request to the request destination in which the second communication unit 14 is located until the second communication unit 14 receives the journal result data from the request destination. , An upper limit may be set. As the upper limit mentioned here, for example, a time of several minutes or several tens of minutes can be considered. That is, in the journal processing unit 15, even if the time exceeding the upper limit elapses after the journal request is transmitted to the request destination in which the second communication unit 14 is located, the second communication unit 14 still displays the journal result data from the request destination. If it cannot be received, it is considered that the request destination is not one of the determined N request destinations. Then, the journal processing unit 15 adds a request destination in the same manner as in step S309, and sends a journal request to the added request destination in order to compensate for the decrease in the number of request destinations due to such deemed deeming. By setting the upper limit in this way, the journal processing unit 15 keeps waiting when the journal result data is not returned due to the circumstances of a certain journalist who is one of the request destinations. It can be avoided.

In step S310, the journal processing unit 15 determines the journal result of the voucher data based on the journal result data from the request destination. Determining the journalizing result of the voucher data in step S310 corresponds to acquiring the journalizing result of the voucher data received in step S300. The journal processing unit 15 sets the matching journal result when it is determined in step S308 that the journal results of the predetermined number or more of the N request destinations match, as the correct journal result. For example, journal result data from 3 request destinations (request destinations A, B, C) where N = 5 and more than half of the 5 request destinations (request destinations A, B, C, D, E). It is assumed that the contents of are the same as each other, and the contents of the journal result data from the remaining two request destinations (request destinations D and E) do not match the journal result data from the request destinations A, B, and C. do. In this case, the journal processing unit 15 sets the journal result data from the request destinations A, B, and C as the correct journal result, and the journal result data from the request destinations D and E as the incorrect journal result.

The journal processing unit 15 corrects the provisional journal result according to the correct journal result. That is, if the provisional journal result is different from the correct journal result, the journal result is acquired by determining the correct journal result as the final journal result instead of the provisional journal result. If the provisional journal result matches the correct journal result, the journal processing unit 15 acquires the journal result by determining the provisional journal result as the final journal result.

In step S311, the first communication unit 13 sends the journal entry result (fixed journal entry result) confirmed in step S310 to the first terminal 30 of the source of the voucher data received in step S300, and the voucher data received in step S300. Send with. The SNS server 70 once receives the finalized journal result transmitted by the first communication unit 13 in step S311 (see step S203, FIG. 2). The SNS server 70 transmits the once received confirmed journal result to the first terminal 30 of the source of the voucher data as transmission data from the first account (step S203).

In step S106, the first terminal 30 receives the finalized journal result from the SNS server 70, that is, from the first account.
In step S107, the first terminal 30 causes the display unit 34 to display the finalized journal result received in step S106.

FIG. 6 shows the SNS screen 50 after a lapse of time from the state shown in FIG.
The area of the image P1 and the message M1-6 in the SNS screen 50 of FIG. 6 is an example of the finalized journal result displayed as a post from the first account side in step S107. The image P1 is displayed based on the voucher data transmitted from the accounting processing server 10 together with the finalized journal result. Message M1-6 contains a message to the effect that the journal entry by the journalist has been completed, for example, "The journalist has confirmed it." Further, the message M1-6 contains the contents of the finalized journal result such as the debit account and the credit account. By looking at the message M1-6, the client can know the journal entry result for the voucher data sent on the SNS to the first account. Further, as a method of displaying the finalized journal result, by displaying the message M1-6 together with the image P1 as shown in FIG. 6, the client can be made to understand the journal result more concretely.

In step S312 (see FIG. 3), the journal processing unit 15 causes the journal engine 19 to perform feedback learning. That is, the journal processing unit 15 causes the journal engine 19 to input the finalized journal result together with the character data about the voucher data received in step S300 and the additional information received in steps S300 and S304, so that the journal engine 19 To learn the correspondence between vouchers and additional information and finalized journal results. As a result, the journalizing ability of the voucher by the journalizing engine 19 is improved, and the accuracy of the automatic journalizing in the future step S301 is increased.

In step S313, the point processing unit 16 grants points as a reward to the request destination that has returned the journal result data in response to the journal request. Further, the second communication unit 14 notifies the request destination of the points given to the request destination by the point processing unit 16. The points given to the journalist in the present embodiment may be any points as long as they are worth the reward to the journalist. Various types of points handled by major distribution groups, retail stores, credit card companies, etc. are known. The point processing unit 16 executes the point awarding process itself in cooperation with a predetermined server on the Internet managed and operated by a company or an organization that issues points. For example, the point processing unit 16 links to a predetermined server on the Internet managed and operated by a company or organization that issues points, in association with the personal information of the journalist to whom the points are granted. Instructs to add the points for the reward to the points currently accumulated on the server.

The point processing unit 16 assigns points to a request destination that is a reply source of journal result data that matches the finalized journal result to a request destination that is a reply source of journal result data that does not match the final journal result. It may be more than the points to be done. Again, N = 5, and of the five request destinations (request destinations A, B, C, D, E), the contents of the journal result data from the three request destinations (request destinations A, B, C) are mutually exclusive. It is assumed that they match and the contents of the journal result data from the remaining two request destinations (request destinations D and E) do not match the journal result data from the request destinations A, B, and C. The journal result data from the request destinations A, B, and C are correct answers, that is, the final journal results, and the journal result data from the request destinations D, E are incorrect answers, that is, the journal results that do not match the final journal results.

In such a case, the point processing unit 16 distributes, for example, 60% of the total number of points given to the five request destinations that are the transmission sources of the journal result data in step S313 to the request destinations that have issued the correct journal result data. Then, the remaining 40% will be distributed to these five clients. That is, the point processing unit 16 equally divides 60% of the total number of points prepared for the request destinations A, B, C, D, and E into the request destinations A, B, and C, and grants the remaining 40 points. % Is equally divided and given to the request destinations A, B, C, D and E. As a result, a higher reward can be given to the journalist who has given the correct journal entry result.

As described above, the second communication unit 14 notifies the request destination of the points given to the request destination by the point processing unit 16 (step S313). In this case, the second communication unit 14 transmits the point notification to the request destination to which the points are awarded. The point notification transmitted by the second communication unit 14 in step S313 is once received by the SNS server 70 (step S402). The SNS server 70 transmits the point notification once received as transmission data from the second account to the requesting account to which the points are awarded (step S402).

In step S505, the second terminal 40 receives the point notification from the SNS server 70, that is, from the second account.
In step S506, the second terminal 40 causes the screen based on the point notification received in step S505 to be displayed on a display unit (not shown) included in the second terminal 40.

The area of the image P1 and the message M2-2 in the SNS screen 60 of FIG. 9 is an example of a screen based on the point notification displayed as a post from the second account side in step S506. The image P1 is an image of the receipt R as described above, and is displayed based on the voucher data included in the journal entry request. Alternatively, the voucher data may be transmitted from the accounting processing server 10 to the second terminal 40 again together with the point notification. The message M2-2 includes a message to the effect that points as a reward have been given to the journalist, for example, "acquisition: 4.00 points".

Furthermore, in the message M2-2, the journal entry entered by the journalist via the journal screen 61 (see FIG. 10), such as "The content you registered has been adopted", is the correct journal result. Contains a message. Of course, the message "The content you registered has been adopted" is not displayed on the display of the second terminal 40 operated by the journalist who entered the incorrect journal. Further, the message M2-2 may include the latest balance of points accumulated by the journalist by the journal entry so far. Further, the message M2-2 may be provided with a selection field for "journal details". By tapping or clicking the selection field of "Journal Details", the journalist can obtain the journal entry executed by himself / herself, that is, the journal entry result that caused the acquisition of the points indicated by the message M2-2, on the second terminal 40. You can check it again by displaying it on the display part of.

As a result, the first terminal 30 side processing, the first account side processing, the server 10 side processing, the second account side processing, and the second terminal 40 side processing shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 are completed.
The journal processing unit 15 updates the results for each registration request destination recorded in the request destination evaluation table 20, for example, at the timing when the journal result is confirmed in step S310. In other words, for the requestee who issued the correct journal result that matches the finalized journal result, the score of the current grade is updated to a higher score, while the request that issued the incorrect journal result that does not match the finalized journal result. For the destination, the score of the current grade will be updated to a lower score.
