Further, FIG. 4 is a table showing the agency name, service name, and transaction amount as the acquired transaction conditions. Note that the information processing described below is performed by the control unit 20 executing a program stored in the storage unit 36. Furthermore, in the information processing described below, the personal information related to the transaction and the details of the transaction with a specific company (other company) will not be revealed, and the information related to the information processing described below will not be shared with other information in the management server 10. Separate and managed.

A person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed accesses a predetermined website or application provided by the management company that manages the management server 10. At this time, the person in charge of this company enters an ID and password when logging into the website or application provided by the management server 10. The person in charge of this company can then upload new evidence data (specifically, an image of the voucher) to the website or application displayed on the user terminal 50. When the voucher data is uploaded to this website or application, the voucher data is transmitted from the user terminal 50 to the management server 10, so that the accepting means 22 accepts the voucher data ("YES" in step S1). Further, based on the ID input when logging into the website or application provided by the management server 10, the reception means 22 receives identification information of the owner or administrator of the voucher data.

Alternatively, the person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed may send evidence such as a paper invoice to the management company of the management server 10, or use the user terminal 50 to send evidence data (specifically In other words, send an email with an attached image of the evidence. At this time, when the person in charge of this company sends a paper voucher to the management company of the management server 10, the paper voucher is sent to the address of the management company of the management server 10 that was previously notified by the management company. In addition, when a person in charge of this company sends an email with evidence data attached to the email address of the management server 10 using the user terminal 50, the evidence data is attached to the email address of the management server 10 that was notified in advance by the management company. Send the email that was sent.

When a paper voucher is sent to the management company of the management server 10 by a person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed, the paper voucher is read by a reading device such as a scanner at the management company of the management server 10. Then, the document data (specifically, the image of the document) is transmitted from the reading device to the management server 10, so that the accepting means 22 receives the image data of the document. Furthermore, the operator who has read the paper voucher with the reading device inputs into the management server 10 the identification information of the company from which the voucher was sent and the identification information of the person in charge of this company. Thereby, the accepting means 22 accepts the identification information of the owner or administrator of the voucher data.

Further, when an email with evidence data attached is sent from the user terminal 50 to the email address of the management server 10 by a person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed, the reception means 22 receives the data of the image of the evidence. accept. Here, the e-mail address to which e-mail with evidence data attached is sent from the user terminal 50 to the management server 10 can be set for each company where the user terminal 50 is installed. In this case, the accepting means 22 accepts the identification information of the owner or administrator of the voucher data based on the email address sent to the management server 10 by the user terminal 50.

When the reception means 22 receives voucher data from the user terminal 50 (“YES” in step S1 in FIG. 3), the transaction information acquisition means 24 acquires at least information on transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data received by the reception means 22. get. Specifically, the input instruction means 28 instructs the operator terminal 40 to display on the operator terminal 40 an image of the voucher in the voucher data received by the receiving unit 22 and an input screen for at least the transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data. A signal is transmitted (step S2). As a result, an input screen for transaction conditions and transaction amount is displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 40. Specifically, the input screen allows the operator to input data for each item of the voucher in the voucher image received by the receiving means 22.

On the input screen displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 40, image data of evidence (specifically, for example, invoice, receipt, purchase order, statement of delivery, contract, etc.) and data of each item of evidence are input. A message prompting you to do so, fields for entering data for each item, and a send button will be displayed. The operator inputs data for each item of the voucher into the input field while viewing the image data of the voucher displayed on the monitor of the operator terminal 40. Specifically, the operator must provide the name of the company or agency that issued the voucher (the billing party), the registration number of the company or agency that issued the voucher (the billing party), the date of issue (billing date) of the voucher, and the name of the company or agency that issued the voucher (billing party). The operator terminal 40 inputs information such as the company name of the destination (billing destination), the billing amount (total amount), the transaction date for each product name, each product name, and the transaction amount for each product name into each input field. When the operator completes inputting the data for each item of these vouchers, he presses the send button displayed on the input screen. As a result, the input information input by the operator to the operator terminal 40 is transmitted from the operator terminal 40 to the management server 10, and the receiving means 22 of the control unit 20 in the management server 10 receives the input information. At this time, the transaction information acquisition means 24 acquires at least information on transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data received by the reception means 22 (step S3 in FIG. 3). Here, the transaction conditions include, for example, the name of the product or service, the transaction amount, and the like. Further, when a plurality of IDs are provided as a transaction, the transaction amount may be the amount per one ID.

Further, when transmitting the display instruction signal to the operator terminal 40, the input instruction means 28 may also cause the operator terminal 40 to display an input screen for information regarding the format of the image of the evidence in the evidence data received by the reception means 22. . In this case, information regarding the format input by the operator to the operator terminal 40 is also transmitted from the operator terminal 40 to the management server 10, and the receiving means 22 of the control unit 20 in the management server 10 also receives information regarding the format.

As another aspect, when the receiving means 22 receives voucher data from the user terminal 50 ("YES" in step S1 in FIG. 3), the transaction information acquiring means 24 extracts the voucher data from the voucher image in the voucher data received by the receiving means 22. Data for each item in the evidence data may be acquired by optical character recognition. Specifically, the transaction information acquisition means 24 uses optical character recognition from the image of the voucher in the voucher data received by the reception means 22 to obtain the company name and agency name of the voucher issuer (requesting party), and the company name and agency name of the voucher issuer (requesting party). Registration number of company or agency name (from), date of issue of the voucher (invoice date), name of company to which the voucher will be sent (billing address), amount charged (total amount), date of transaction for each product name, name of each product, each Information such as the transaction amount of the item name may also be acquired. In this case as well, the transaction information acquisition means 24 acquires at least the transaction conditions and transaction amount information in the voucher data received by the reception means 22. Further, at this time, the format information acquisition means 26 may acquire information regarding the format of the image of the voucher in the voucher data from the image of the voucher in the voucher data received by the reception unit 22 by optical character recognition.

The optimal transaction extracting means 30 extracts the same or similar products or services received by the receiving means 22 from a plurality of user terminals 50 based on at least the transaction conditions and transaction amount information in the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquiring means 24. Extract information related to optimal transactions from multiple pieces of evidence data. Specifically, when the transaction conditions in the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquisition unit 24 are the same, the optimal transaction extraction unit 30 selects the voucher data with the lowest transaction amount among the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquisition unit 24. The transactions related to the above are extracted as information related to the optimal transactions. Then, the output means 32 outputs information related to the optimal transaction extracted by the optimal transaction extraction means 30 (step S4 in FIG. 3).

The operation of such optimal transaction extracting means 30 will be explained. Regarding a plurality of voucher data transmitted from a plurality of user terminals 50 to the management server 10, if the transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquisition means 24 are as shown in FIG. Regarding ○○, there are two types: one provided by agency A for 1,500 yen per ID, and one provided by agency D for 2,000 yen per ID. In this case, the optimal transaction extraction means 30 outputs evidence data of 1500 yen per ID provided by agency A as information related to the optimal transaction. Similarly, regarding service XX, there are two types: one provided by agency B for 2,000 yen per ID, and one provided by agency E for 1,800 yen per ID. In this case, the optimal transaction extracting means 30 outputs evidence data of 1800 yen per ID provided by the agency E as information related to the optimal transaction.

Note that if the information on the format of the voucher data received by the reception means 22 has been acquired, the optimal transaction extraction means 30 determines whether the information regarding the format of the voucher image in the voucher data received by the reception means 22 is approximately the same. Information regarding an optimal transaction may be extracted from a plurality of pieces of evidence data received by the accepting means 22 from a plurality of user terminals 50 for certain pieces of evidence data.

The transmitting means 34 transmits the information regarding the optimal transaction outputted by the outputting means 32 to the user terminal 50 that transmitted the voucher data to the management server 10 or a terminal different from this user terminal 50 (step S5). As a result, it is possible to display optimal transaction information on the monitor of the user terminal 50 that is the source of the voucher data or on the monitor of a terminal other than this user terminal 50. Therefore, a person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed can recognize information related to optimal transactions.

For example, if the evidence data sent from the user terminal 50 to the management server 10 is service ○○ provided by agency D and the transaction amount is 2000 yen per ID, displays information that the same service ○○ provided by agency A costs 1,500 yen per ID. As a result, the person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed can switch the provider of service ○○ from agency D to agency A as a cheaper service provider. You will be able to consider it.

As mentioned above, the above information processing does not reveal the personal information related to the transaction or the details of the transaction with a specific company (other company), and the information related to the above information processing is stored in the management server 10 by other companies. Managed separately from information.

The receiving means 22 receives evidence data regarding products or services. The transaction information acquisition means 24 acquires at least information on transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data received by the reception means 22. The optimal transaction extracting means 30 extracts a plurality of voucher data regarding the same or similar products or services received by the accepting means 22 based on at least information on transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquiring means 24. Extract information related to optimal transactions from The output means 32 outputs information related to the optimal transaction extracted by the optimal transaction extraction means 30. In this case, since information related to the optimal transaction is extracted and output from multiple pieces of evidence data regarding the same or similar products or services accepted by the reception means 22, the multiple pieces of evidence data already accepted are valid. It can be used for

Furthermore, in the program, computer (management server 10), and information processing method of the present embodiment, as described above, the program causes the computer to further function as the transmitting means 34, and the transmitting means 34 outputs the information from the output means 32. The information regarding the optimal transaction is transmitted to the user terminal 50 that is the source of the voucher data or to a terminal different from the user terminal 50. As a result, information related to the optimal transaction can be recognized at the user terminal 50 that is the source of the voucher data or at a terminal different from the user terminal 50.

In addition, in the program, computer (management server 10), and information processing method of the present embodiment, as described above, the optimal transaction extracting means 30 has the same transaction conditions in the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquiring means 24. In this case, the transaction related to the voucher data with the lowest transaction amount among the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquisition means 24 is extracted as information regarding the optimal transaction. In this case, information on the transaction related to the voucher data with the lowest transaction amount for the same transaction conditions among the multiple voucher data received from the multiple user terminals 50 is extracted. It is possible to switch to the service. Note that in the present embodiment, the method by which the optimal transaction extracting means 30 extracts information related to optimal transactions is not limited to this manner. The optimal transaction extracting means 30 may extract information regarding the optimal transaction using a method different from the method described above.

Further, the method by which the transaction information acquisition means 24 acquires at least the information on the transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher data received by the reception means 22 is not limited to the method described above. For example, in the voucher data transmitted from the user terminal 50 to the management server 10, in addition to the voucher image, information on at least one or both of transaction conditions and transaction amount may be included. Specifically, when the person in charge of the company where the user terminal 50 is installed sends the image of the voucher as voucher data to the management server 10 using the user terminal 50, the information on the transaction conditions and transaction amount in the voucher is also sent to the user. The information may be input into the terminal 50 and the input information may be transmitted from the user terminal 50 to the management server 10. In this case, the receiving means 22 receives information on at least one or both of the transaction conditions and the transaction amount as evidence data from the user terminal 50. Then, the transaction information acquisition means 24 acquires information on transaction conditions and transaction amount based on the information transmitted from the user terminal 50.

In addition, there may be fluctuations in evidence data received from a plurality of user terminals 50, such as different expression methods even if the contents of the product or service are the same. In this case, the control unit 20 of the management server 10 corrects the fluctuation in the description of the product or service in the transaction conditions based on the fluctuation information of each transaction condition stored in the storage unit 36. Then, by using the transaction conditions related to the product or service whose notation fluctuations have been corrected, the optimal transaction extraction means 30 can extract information based on at least the transaction conditions and transaction amount information in the voucher data acquired by the transaction information acquisition means 24. , information related to the optimal transaction is extracted from a plurality of evidence data regarding the same or similar products or services received by the receiving means 22.

Further, information on each item of the voucher in the voucher data received by the management server 10 from the user terminal 50 (for example, information such as billing date, details, amount, payment deadline, etc.) is input by the operator using the operator terminal 40. Even if there is no new document, a company representative user can log in to the website or application provided by the management server 10 and upload new document data to the website or application displayed on the user terminal 50. Information regarding the data may be used in other transactions.
