As a result, various electronic devices can be used as the user terminal 30, and the user's usage environment is improved.

Also, conversion processing from the first data file to the second data file is performed via an instruction screen using the WEB browser 305 . Therefore, since it is not necessary to install a system for data conversion on the user terminal, the burden on the user, such as having to install the system each time the system is updated, is reduced.

<Modification 1>
In the present embodiment, the information providing apparatus 10 provides, as options, a plurality of mapping information specified according to the execution authority corresponding to the user information, but one embodiment of the present invention is limited to this. not. A case where the information providing apparatus 10 provides all mapping information regardless of execution authority corresponding to user information will be described with reference to FIG. 13 . Note that the processing from step S401 to step S404 is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 6, so detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When the receiving unit 101 of the information providing apparatus 10 receives the user information including the user ID and password, it transmits the user information to the user authenticating unit 108 . The user authentication unit 108 collates the received user ID and password with the user information stored in the user information unit 107, and executes login processing when they match. If the login process succeeds, the user authentication unit 108 can select any one of all the mapping information for the user ID for which the login process has succeeded (step S425).

The providing unit 105 provides the user terminal 30 with an instruction screen for providing all the mapping information and inputting the first data file for the user ID (step S426). The instruction screen includes a user ID, all mapping information, and an input portion for the first data file.

An example of the instruction screen corresponding to step S426 is shown in FIG. The instruction screen 330 shown in FIG. 14 includes a user ID, a selection section 318 for all mapping information, and an input section for the first data file. The instruction screen 330 also includes an input section 311 for the date of issue of the occurrence record, an input section 312 for the payment due date, and an instruction section 315 . Mapping information selection unit 318 is provided with mapping information A to I. In FIG. B is not shown. When any one of the mapping information A to I is selected, the selected mapping information is displayed in the area surrounded by solid lines.

Since the processing from step S407 to step S417 is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 6, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As described above, the information providing apparatus 10 can provide all mapping information regardless of execution authority corresponding to user information. Also, if the user ID corresponds to the execution authority to create and change mapping information, it is possible to create new mapping information by partially changing the existing mapping information. As a result, the user terminal 30 can use various mapping information regardless of the execution authority, so that it is possible to reduce the trouble of creating the mapping information. Also, the convenience of the information providing device 10 is improved.

Even if there are other effects different from the effects brought about by the aspects of each embodiment described above, those that are obvious from the description of this specification or those that can be easily predicted by those skilled in the art are of course It is understood that it is provided by the present invention.
