Description

The present invention relates to an account management system, an account management method, and a program therefor that can manage an account using an information terminal. The present invention also relates to an information providing system that provides information reflecting customer's intentions.

In recent years, financial services have changed significantly due to the spread of information terminals such as smartphones and tablets. For example, banks provide banking services via the Internet, so-called Internet banking, and customers can use their own information terminals to inquire about bank account balances and check detailed information. In addition, new businesses other than the banking industry have entered the market, and new financial services that are integrated with information technology called Fintech have started. For example, as one of the financial services provided by companies other than banks, we centralize detailed information of various services provided on the Internet such as bank deposits, securities, insurance, credit cards, point services, and mileage services. There is a so-called PFM (Personal Financial Management) service, which is a service for efficiently designing and managing assets.

However, since the current PFM service mainly provides detailed information, the customer merely confirms the detailed information of the deposit account. Therefore, as a typical method for managing savings of customers, in most cases, a plurality of deposit accounts are opened for each purpose of savings and the balance of each deposit account is managed.

On the other hand, as a method of managing deposit accounts in Internet banking, multiple virtual divisions (for example, "circle activity expenses", "study abroad expenses", etc.) are set for one deposit account, and the balance of the deposit account is calculated. A method of sorting into virtual categories is known (see Patent Document 1, for example). According to this management method, a customer can set a virtual division for each savings purpose in one deposit account and manage his/her own savings by managing the virtual division.

JP-A-2003-30449

However, if a deposit account for which virtual divisions can be set is a deposit account from which cash can be withdrawn at an ATM or the like, there are many deposits and withdrawals in the deposit account, and the balance of the deposit account is unstable. Therefore, the virtual divisions set in the deposit accounts are merely set, and in reality, as described above, most customers manage their savings using the balances of multiple deposit accounts. In addition, it is the customer who manages the savings, and the bank that provides the deposit account does not provide information on the customer's savings.

In view of the above problems, the present invention provides an account management system, an account management method, a program, and an information providing system related to a customer's account that supports the customer's savings management and is linked to the customer's savings purpose or savings amount. is one of the issues.

The second server 200 includes a second processing section 210 and a second storage section 220 . Also, each of the first server 100 and the second server 200 can include a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving data between the servers.

Each of the first server 100 and the second server 200 is, for example, a computer. Each of the first server 100 and the second server 200 may be composed of one computer, or may be composed of a plurality of computers. That is, although the first server 100 and the second server 200 are separately described for convenience, the first server 100 and the second server 200 may be one computer. Each of the first server 100 and the second server includes, for example, an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and an HDD. (Hard Disc Drive), Solid State Drive (SSD), Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), NAND flash memory, or NOR flash memory.

Note that the first processing unit 110, the second processing unit 210, the first storage unit 120, and the second storage unit 220 may be configured by one electronic device, or may be configured by a plurality of electronic devices. good.

FIG. 2 illustrates a transaction processing configuration for deposit accounts and virtual accounts associated with account management system 10 in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The account management system 10 uses a deposit account issued by X Bank and a virtual account created by customer A.

Regarding deposit accounts, the account management system 10 includes at least a first deposit account 810 and a second deposit account 820 associated with the first deposit account. Each of the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 are customer A's deposit accounts at Bank X. That is, the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 are deposit accounts belonging to the same person, and can process transactions independently of each other.

However, the second deposit account 820 is limited in some of the transaction processing that can be performed with the first deposit account 810, and the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 are not exactly the same. For example, the first deposit account 810 can transfer money to a deposit account 850 in another person's name at Bank X, a deposit account 860 in Bank X's own name (customer A's name), or a deposit account 870 in a bank other than Bank X. can be done. In addition, the first deposit account 810 can transfer funds between the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 linked thereto. Additionally, first deposit account 810 may be a designated account for direct debit.

On the other hand, the second deposit account 820 makes a transfer to a deposit account 850 in another person's name at Bank X, a deposit account 860 in Bank X's own name (customer A's name), or a deposit account 870 in a bank other than Bank X. can be restricted so that Restricting transfers from the second deposit account 820 restricts withdrawals from the second deposit account 820, thereby stabilizing the balance of the second deposit account 820. The second deposit account 820 can be transferred to and from the first deposit account 810 . Therefore, when customer A makes a transfer, he can transfer from the first deposit account 810, so even if the transfer from the second deposit account 820 is restricted, no problem will arise. The second deposit account 820 can also be a designated account for direct debit. Since the account transfer is a regular process, it can be considered as one of the savings plans using the second savings account 820 .

Also, from another point of view, the difference between the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 will be explained.

A first deposit account 810 is primarily a deposit account processed at a bank counter or ATM. Therefore, cash cards, paper passbooks, and the like can be issued in the first deposit account 810 so that they can be processed at bank counters and ATMs.

On the other hand, the second deposit account 820 is mainly a deposit account managed by customer A's information terminal. Unlike the first deposit account 810, the second deposit account 820 does not need to be processed at a bank counter or ATM, so a cash card or a paper passbook may not be issued. In particular, by not issuing cash cards, withdrawals from the second deposit account 820 are restricted, so the balance of the second deposit account 820 is stabilized. Since the transfer from the second account 820 to the first account 810 is possible, the customer A can use the cash card of the first account 810 to withdraw cash. Therefore, there is no problem even if the cash card for the second account 820 is not issued.

As explained above, the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 are not exactly the same deposit account, for example, some of the transaction processing is restricted. Therefore, the linkage between the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 does not simply mean that the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 have the same branch or the same holder. The second deposit account 820 is attached with identification information that makes it possible to recognize that it is linked only to the first deposit account 810, and is managed in the same manner as other deposit accounts.

In addition, the second deposit account 820 is a deposit account for the purpose of saving, and can also be used as a deposit account for consolidating funds not used by the customer A for the time being. Therefore, a virtual account 900 can be set up that is tied to the second savings account 820 to facilitate management of the funds in the second savings account 820 . One or more virtual accounts 900 can be set up for the second deposit account 820 . For example, as shown in FIG. 2, for a second savings account 820, a first virtual account 910 and a second virtual account 920 can be established. The virtual account 900 can be freely created, set up, or managed by the customer A according to the purpose of saving. For example, customer A uses the application of the information terminal to create a first virtual account 910 and a second virtual account 920, and assign the second deposit account 820 to the first virtual account 910 or the second virtual account 920. It can be set to transfer money.

The account management system 10 can separately manage a first deposit account 810 in which funds are transferred irregularly and a second deposit account 820 in which funds are transferred regularly. In other words, the account management system 10 can be said to separately manage the first deposit account 810 from which withdrawals can be freely made and the second deposit account 820 from which withdrawals are restricted. The first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 are deposit accounts to which independent account numbers are assigned, but they are linked to each other and can be collectively managed. Also, in the second savings account 820, a virtual account 900 can be set up to manage funds. In particular, since the second deposit account 820 can be set and managed using the application program of the information terminal, customer A can always monitor the second deposit account 820 without choosing time or place. is. Therefore, by using the account management system 10, the customer A can pool funds in the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820 and manage the funds systematically.

Returning to FIG. 1, the account management system 10 will be described.

The first server 100 can be connected to servers 600 of banks other than X Bank through the Internet. The first server 100 can also be connected to servers of other branches of Bank X. When connecting the first server 100 to a server of another branch of Bank X, the communication may be an intranet instead of the Internet.

The first server 100 can mainly execute transaction processing (hereinafter referred to as “business transaction processing”) related to banking operations such as transfer, transfer, or account transfer performed at banks and ATMs. That is, in the first server 100, the first processing unit 110 can execute a program related to business transaction processing. In addition, the first storage unit 120 stores data used for arithmetic processing of the first processing unit 110, for example, deposit account data including balance information or detailed information of each of the first deposit account 810 and the second deposit account 820. can be stored as

A database of deposit account data including balance information or detailed information will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG.

FIG. 3 is an example of a database containing balance information (hereinafter referred to as "balance information database"). The balance information database shown in FIG. 3 is registered for each customer, and each record includes items of "customer number", "account number", "balance information", and "identification information". Information that identifies a customer may include the customer's name or account number, but the customer's name or account number alone cannot identify which branch of Bank X the account belongs to. For example, record no. 2 and record no. 5 has the same account number, but since the branches are different, the same account number is assigned. Therefore, in the balance information database shown in FIG. 3, a number including a branch number is registered and managed as a customer number for each customer.

In the balance information database shown in FIG. 3 and record no. 4 has the same customer number, which indicates customer A of Y branch of X bank. That is, it indicates that the same customer has a deposit account at the same branch. However, record no. 3 and record no. 4 does not have the same account number. On the other hand, record no. 4, in the item of identification information, record No. 3 account numbers are registered. Therefore, from the items of identification information, the record No. 4 is the record number. It can be seen that it is a savings account linked to 3. That is, record No. 3 is the first deposit account 810, and record No. 4 is the second savings account 820 .

Therefore, in the balance information database shown in FIG. 3, the item of identification information can be used to determine the first account 810 or the second account 820, and the item of balance information can be used to calculate the transfer process. It can be carried out.

Note that the balance information database is not limited to the configuration described above. Any database that can manage at least the customer's deposit account and can determine that the second deposit account 820 is linked to the first deposit account 810 may be used.

FIG. 4 is an example of a database containing detailed information (hereinafter referred to as "detailed information database"). The detailed information database shown in FIG. 4 is a database prepared for each deposit account corresponding to a customer number. Each record includes date, first item, second item, and amount as items. Character information entered in the passbook is registered in the first item. The second item registers the category of transaction processing. Although the second item is not necessarily required, it is useful when providing customer A with information classified by category.

Note that the balance information database and the detailed information database are not limited to the configurations described above. Any database containing at least the information necessary for customers' balance inquiries and statement inquiries is sufficient.

Returning to FIG. 1 again, the account management system 10 will be described.

The second server 200 can be connected to the first server 100 through the intranet. Also, the second server 200 can be connected to the information terminal 500 of the customer A through the Internet. The second server 200 is mainly capable of executing processes necessary for executing the application program 510 of the customer A's information terminal 500 . For example, the second server 200 can execute processing accompanying management of the application program 510 or transaction processing for the virtual account 900 (hereinafter referred to as “virtual transaction processing”). That is, in the second server 200 , the second processing unit 210 can execute a program related to management of the application program 510 and a program related to transaction processing with the virtual account 900 . In addition, the second storage unit 220 can store deposit account data including balance information used in virtual transaction processing of the second deposit account 820 or virtual account data of the virtual account 900 as a database.

By operating the application program 510 installed in the information terminal 500, the customer A can use the account management system 10 according to this embodiment and manage the second deposit account 820. FIG. Management of the second deposit account 820 (including virtual transaction processing) using the account management system 10 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 5 to 12. FIG.

[1. Balance inquiry of the second deposit account]
Customer A can use the application program 510 of the information terminal 500 to inquire about the balance of the second deposit account 820 . Application program 510 displays an icon for balance inquiry of second account 820 on information terminal 500 . When customer A touches the icon, application program 510 starts a balance inquiry processing program for second deposit account 820 . Specifically, the application program 510 sends an instruction to the account management system 10 to execute a balance inquiry processing program for the second deposit account 820 .

FIG. 5 is an example of a processing flow chart for balance inquiry of the second deposit account 820 using the account management system 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The first storage unit 120 of the first server 100 stores the second deposit account data 122 of the second deposit account 820 as a database. The second storage unit 220 of the second server 200 stores the third deposit account data 222 of the second deposit account 820 as a database.

The information terminal 500 transmits a command regarding balance inquiry of the second deposit account 820 to the second server 200 via the Internet. The second server 200 that has received the command connects to the first server 100 via the intranet. In the first server 100 , the first processing unit 110 extracts the second bank account data 122 from the first storage unit 120 . First server 100 transmits second deposit account data 122 to information terminal 500 via second server 200 . Application program 510 of information terminal 500 acquires the second balance information from second deposit account data 122 and displays the second balance information as the balance of second deposit account 820 on information terminal 500 .

Second storage unit 220 of second server 200 stores third deposit account data 222 including third balance information of second deposit account 820 . Second deposit account data 122 and third deposit account data 222 are both data relating to second deposit account 820, but second deposit account data 122 and third deposit account data 222 are not necessarily the same. The second balance information of the second deposit account data 122 is the balance used in business transaction processing of the second deposit account 820, while the third balance information of the third deposit account data 222 is the virtual balance of the second deposit account 820. This is the balance used in transaction processing. Specifically, the third balance information of the third deposit account data 222 includes the balance obtained by subtracting the balance information of the virtual account data from the second balance information of the second deposit account data 122 . Therefore, when customer A inquires about the balance of second deposit account 820 in business transaction processing, it is necessary to extract second deposit account data 122 stored in first storage unit 120 .

When displaying the balance of the second account 820 on the information terminal 500 , the application program 510 can also display information prompting creation of the virtual account 900 and transfer to the virtual account 900 . By displaying such information together with the balance of the second deposit account 820, the customer A's awareness of savings can be enhanced. In addition, the customer A can be encouraged to use the virtual account 900 to manage funds that are not used for the time being.

[2. Transfer from first deposit account to second deposit account]
Customer A can use the application program 510 of the information terminal 500 to transfer the designated amount from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 . Application program 510 displays an icon for transfer from first account 810 to second account 820 on information terminal 500 . When the customer A touches the icon, the application program 510 displays a screen for entering the designated amount. When the input of the specified amount of money for customer A is completed, the application program 510 starts a transfer processing program from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 . Specifically, the application program 510 sends an instruction to the account management system 10 to execute a transfer processing program from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 .

FIG. 6 is an example of a processing flow diagram of transfer from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 using the account management system 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. First storage unit 120 of first server 100 stores first deposit account data 121 of first deposit account 810 and second deposit account data 122 of second deposit account 820 as a database. The second storage unit 220 of the second server 200 stores the third deposit account data 222 of the second deposit account 820 as a database.

Information terminal 500 transmits to second server 200 via the Internet an instruction regarding a transfer from first deposit account 810 to second deposit account 820 and data regarding a designated amount. The second server 200 that has received the command connects to the first server 100 via the intranet. In the first server 100 , the first processing unit 110 extracts first bank account data 121 and second bank account data 122 from the first storage unit 120 . Subsequently, the first processing unit 110 acquires the first balance information from the first deposit account data 121 and subtracts the designated amount from the first balance information. The first balance information of the first deposit account data 121 is rewritten with the calculated amount, and the first deposit account data 121 including the rewritten first balance information is stored in the first storage unit 120 . Also, the first processing unit 110 acquires the second balance information from the second deposit account data 122 and adds the designated amount to the second balance information. The second balance information of the second deposit account data 122 is rewritten with the calculated amount, and the second deposit account data 122 including the rewritten second balance information is stored in the first storage unit 120 .

Furthermore, the first processing unit 110 generates processing completion data 400 indicating that the transfer from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 has been completed. The first server 100 transmits the processing completion data 400 to the information terminal 500 via the second server 200 . When the information terminal 500 receives the processing completion data 400, the application program 510 displays on the information terminal 500 that the transfer from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 has been completed.

When business transaction processing of the second deposit account 820 is performed, it is necessary to adjust not only the second balance information of the second deposit account data 122 but also the third balance information of the third deposit account data 222 . Therefore, when the processing completion data 400 passes through the second server 200 , the second processing section 210 of the second server 200 extracts the third bank account data 222 from the second storage section 220 . Subsequently, the second processing unit 210 acquires the third balance information from the third deposit account data 222 and adds the designated amount to the third balance information. The third balance information of the third deposit account data 222 is rewritten with the calculated amount, and the third deposit account data 222 including the rewritten third balance information is stored in the second storage unit 220 .

In this way, by performing similar calculations not only in the first server 100 but also in the second server 200, the balance in the business transaction processing of the second deposit account 820 and the balance in the virtual transaction processing can be interlocked. In the above explanation, the transfer from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 was explained, but the transfer from the second deposit account 820 to the first deposit account 810 can also be performed. In this case, in the arithmetic processing in the first server 100, the first processing unit 110 adds the designated amount to the first balance information of the first deposit account data 121, and from the second balance information of the second deposit account data 122, Subtract the specified amount. The second processing unit 210 of the second server 200 also performs similar calculations.

When the application program 510 displays on the information terminal 500 that the transfer from the first deposit account 810 to the second deposit account 820 has been completed, the application program 510 displays information prompting the creation of the virtual account 900 and the transfer to the virtual account 900. You can also By displaying such information together with the transfer completion, the customer A's awareness of savings can be enhanced. In addition, the customer A can be encouraged to use the virtual account 900 to manage funds that are not used for the time being.

[3. Account transfer from the second deposit account]
Customer A can set up a second deposit account 820 as a designated account and transfer funds from the second deposit account 820 .
