3 is a schematic flowchart of a method of managing an expense expenditure according to an embodiment. The embodiment shown in FIG. 3 shows an embodiment in which a process of verifying a receipt and a process of converting a receipt into an electronic document for proof are performed on the expense management system 3. However, as described below with reference to FIG. 4, the above processes may be performed in the first user device 1. FIG.

3, the expense management system 1 receives the card usage data from one or more financial institution servers 5 (S201), receives the expense history inquiry request S202 received from the user device 1, , The card usage data may be transmitted to the user device 1 (S203). The expense management system 1 can receive the card usage data of the user from the financial institution server 5 in a manner such as scrapping using previously received user information. The process of receiving card usage data through scraping may be performed periodically and / or automatically without additional input from the user.

However, this is an exemplary one, and in another embodiment, the reception of the card usage data (S201) may be performed in response to the reception of the inquiry request (S202) of the user.

When there is a use history that the guard user wants to request to process the card usage data received at the user device 1 and to process the card usage data at the expense of the company, the security user uses the camera provided in the user device 1, (S204), and transmits the photographed image information and the expense expenditure information (for example, the purpose of use of the expense, usage history, etc.) inputted by the expense user to the expense management system 3 (S205). At this time, the image information transmitted to the expense management system 3 corresponds to a receipt image file of a receipt.

In the expense management system 3, receipt image data is extracted from the received image information and expense expenditure information (S206), and the extracted data is compared with the card usage data received in the step S201, (S207). At this time, the type of data to be extracted from the image information for authenticity verification can be set in advance by the company's expense manager.

For example, the verification unit 32 (see FIG. 1) of the expense management system 3 includes a predetermined verification rule engine, and the data extracted from the image information and the card usage data . For example, the main items of data extracted from the image information include transaction means identification number (card number, cash receipt number, account number, etc.), transaction identification number (approval number, receipt number, etc.) Time, etc.), transaction amount, account information (business number, name of merchant, etc.). The expense management system 3 can extract the aforementioned information from the image by applying known image recognition technology to the receipt image file.

At this time, since it is not known beforehand which information is located in which part of the receipt image, the expense management system (3) calculates the corresponding data item based on the format prescribed by the card company for each data item The item can be extracted.

Data item Card company regulation type Data to extract from image Trading instrument identification number 16 digits With 16 digits
Consecutive numeric columns
Transaction ID Up to 10 digits Around 10 digits
Consecutive numeric columns
Transaction amount Price Including a comma (,)
Numeric columns in the format XX, XX0
(Where X is an arbitrary integer)
Customer Information Business Number A numeric string in the format YYY-YY-YYYYY
(Y is an arbitrary integer)

However, the data items to be extracted from the image information and the data formats for identifying the data items are not limited to those described in Table 1, and the types of the data items to be extracted and the types of data items to be extracted, It will be easily understood that it can be different from that of FIG.

In the expense management system 3, if the main item of the data extracted from the image information matches the card usage data, the expense management system 3 determines that the receipt is not falsified. Even if one of the main items of the data extracted from the image information is the card usage data It can be judged to be a counterfeit receipt.

In one embodiment, the number and / or type of data items to be extracted from the image information may be preset by the user. When a paper receipt is photographed, the level of information that can be verified depends on the status of the receipt. Therefore, the company's expense manager must determine the data to be extracted from the receipt image in consideration of the business practices of the company or the normal receipt image. The number and / or type of items can be set as security level. For example, the expense manager can set the security level as shown in Table 2 below.

Security level Data item to verify Level 0 Match transaction amount Level 1 Transaction amount + date / time match Level 2 Transaction Amount + Date Used + 1 additional item matched Level 3 Transaction Amount + Date and Time + More 2 Matches

It will be readily understood that the security levels and the data verification items shown in Table 2 above are merely illustrative and can be set differently than shown in the table as needed.

In one embodiment, the security level for expense handling of receipts may be set differently for each expense user. To this end, the database 340 (see FIG. 1) of the expense management system 3 may store information on the security level set based on the user information such as the rank or department of each user, and the rank or department. At this time, when the receipt image is received from the user device 1 of the expense user, the expense management system 3 confirms the user information of the expense user and the security level set for the expense user, and based on the confirmed security level Verification of whether the data item extracted from the receipt image matches the card usage data may be performed.

Meanwhile, in parallel with or in place of the above-mentioned authenticity verification process, the expense management system 3 can verify whether or not the receipt submitted for expense processing is duplicated (S208). This is to prevent duplicate receipts that have already been submitted for expense processing and have been stored in the past. The database 340 (see FIG. 1) of the expense management system 3 can store the receipt image original data, the card transaction data, the verification data of the receipt, the past expense processing result data, and the like, You can check whether the receipt submitted for expense processing has been submitted by the same user or other user in the past.

In one embodiment, the verification process for duplicate submission is performed in a plurality of steps as follows. As a first verification step, a hash value of the file is extracted from the receipt image file submitted from the user device 1, and the extracted hash value is stored in the database 340 of the expense management system 3 (See FIG. 4), and it is possible to verify whether an image file having the same hash value has been submitted in the past.

On the other hand, even if the image file is a receipt image which has not been submitted in the past, there may be cases where the same paper receipt is photographed again and duplicated. As a second verification step, it is determined whether or not the main data item extracted from the receipt image file is the same as the past expense processing result stored in the database 340 (see FIG. 1) of the expense management system 3 The verification can be performed by checking whether duplicate submission is submitted. When verifying whether or not the data items are duplicated, there are cases where the same amount of money is spent many times by the same transaction means. Therefore, it is not sufficient to check only the correspondence of the transaction means identification number, the amount of usage, , It is preferable that at least the transaction identification number or the transaction date and time is used as the main data item and the comparison with the past expense processing result is performed.

Next, the expense management system 3 may transmit the result of verifying authenticity and / or duplication to the user device 1 of the expense user (S209). In addition, the expense management system 3 can transmit the verification result to the expense manager of the company through the expense manager's user device 2 (see Fig. 1) (S210).

If it is determined that the receipt is not a counterfeit receipt by the verification process and is not a duplicate receipt, the expense management system 3 may convert the receipt image file into a predetermined format electronic document (S211). The conversion into the electronic document corresponds to the first step of the electronic documenting process for giving legal proof to the image of the actual paper receipt. For example, the electronic document is converted into the electronic document in the PDF format Document.

Next, the expense expenditure management system 3 performs time stamp authentication corresponding to the data file through communication with the authorized electronic document storage server 4 (S212), and stamps the time stamp on the electronic document, (S13). Specifically, the expense expenditure management system 3 may receive the time stamp information from the authorized electronic document storage server 4 by transmitting the hash value of the electronic document to the authorized electronic document storage server 4. For example, the expense management system 3 can generate an electronic document in PDF or XML format by combining an electronic document in PDF format with time stamp information.

Since the process of generating the proof document through timestamp authentication for the electronic document can be performed according to the TSA related domestic and international standards such as ISO 32000-1, RFC 3161, and Adobe standard, a detailed description of the time stamp authentication process It is omitted. Meanwhile, the authorized electronic document archiving server 4 association module of the expense management system 3 requests and receives the time stamp authentication information for the electronic document and the verification process by checking the forgery of the electronic document , And can be configured to operate in a manner of calling the authorized electronic document archive server 4 using the API.

Next, the expense expenditure management system 3 transfers the original of the proof electronic document generated by the above process to the authorized electronic document storage server 4 and stores it in the document storage server 41 (see FIG. 1) ( S214). The evidence document generated by the above process is valid as evidence for transactions defined by law, so it is possible to replace the receipts with real paper.

Meanwhile, in one embodiment, the expense management system 3 stores a copy of the proof electronic document in the database 340 (see FIG. 1) of the expense management system 3 (S215).

Next, the expense management system 3 provides the user device 1 with the expense report result information on the submitted receipt (S216). At this time, the expense management system 3 can provide the expense report result information by using a copy of the proof electronic document. For example, the expense report result information may include a copy itself of the proof electronic document stored in the expense expense management system 3, or may include a snapshot or related data thereof.

On the other hand, a company's expense manager can request an original inquiry into expense management system (3) for expense handling of some or all expense users under his supervision. For example, an expense manager may require an original inquiry if there is a legal proof of expense processing history. The process of requesting the original inquiry can be performed by the expense manager connecting to the expense management system using his / her user device.

In response to the original inquiry request received from the expense manager, the expense expenditure management system 3 sends the expense processing proof original inquiry request to the authorized electronic document archiving server 4, It is possible to receive the original inquiry result of the expense processing proof and to provide the received original inquiry result to the expense manager through the user device 2 (see FIG. 1) of the expense manager. In addition, the expense management system (3) can provide the expense report to the expense user as well as the expense manager.
