Abstract

A public facility billing management method classified according to the space which uses and connects the bank account is provided to perform the request cost calculation and payment confirmation efficiently by processing charging about the classified space. The utility space of the common use establishment is classified into the use unit including the division registration(100). The cost added in classified each use unit is charged. An apartment is classified according to each house number. If the number is determined, the specific address is determined. It is possible to especially again classify the room inside house number.

Description

Method for billing management of public rental facilities}

The present invention relates to a facility management method, and more particularly, to a method for managing billing for a shared facility or a shared rental facility.

If a building is used by multiple users, such as apartments, especially rented apartments, officetels, and multiple offices within a building, each user will be charged for rent, maintenance, electricity, water, cleaning, fire inspection, Charges such as gas usage costs must be charged for each user. At this time, all users have to go through various processes in order to bill, that is, charge and pay the above costs. For example, in order to claim, the process of calculating the total cost, calculating each cost for each user, printing the invoice for each user, and delivering the bill for the calculated result should be handled. And you must make sure that your claim has been paid in time.

However, in this case, as the size of the building increases, and as the number of users increases, the work to be done for the above billing process increases, and the labor and other incidental costs increase to handle the increased size. This is a burden to manage the facilities used by such a joint, which in turn becomes a burden on users who use the facilities.

This is a common problem in general apartment management, rental facilities such as officetels or rental apartments and offices.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention, in order to solve the above problems, to simply process the billing process of billing and paying the various expenses including the monthly rent required for the management of the common use facility, and It is to provide a billing management method that can be applied to automate the same process through a network such as a computer and the Internet.

In accordance with an aspect of the present invention for solving the above technical problem, the billing management method for a common use facility comprises the steps of: (a) dividing the use space of the common use facility by use units; (b) creating an account for each of the divided units; And (c) claiming the costs added to each unit used in step (a) for each unit of use, and confirming that payment is made to the claim through the account created in step (b). It characterized by including.

In the step (a), the classification may be divided based on the classification register based on the copper, the floor, and the lake of the facility. In the step (a), the space is not divided into the space or the division registration. In case of dividing the space, the divided spaces can be divided into one unit of use.

The account generated in step (b) may be an account number or a virtual account of an actual financial institution, wherein the account number is generated by the financial institution where the account is opened, information on the common use facility, the ( It may include a code reflecting the type of the use unit separated in step a) and the type of expenses added in step (c), or the account created in step (b) is the financial institution that the account is opened, the joint use It may include information on the facility, a code reflecting the type of unit used in the step (a) and the costs added in the step (c), the generated account is the account number or virtual of the actual financial institution It may correspond to the account of.

At this time, the account created in step (b) is linked to the real account designated by the tenant, and if the tenant makes payment to the real account designated by the tenant in step (c), the result of the payment is the step (b). It can be reflected in the account created in. To be reflected in the account includes, for example, automatic transfer under certain conditions.

In the case of claim (c), if there is no or late payment of the previous claim, the unpaid amount and the late interest can be claimed together.The account created in step (b) includes the landlord of the common use facility and the Contact information, including SMS or e-mail, is linked to tenants for each unit of use identified in step (a), and in the case of step (c), if the charge is made through each account, the tenant's contact information corresponding to the account is used. Notify the landlord that the charges have been made and, if the payment is made, inform the landlord of the corresponding landlord's contact information, and, optionally, notify the landlord at the time of the claim and, if so, the tenant. The fact may also be informed. And billed and paid for each unit of use through the account can be provided to the landlord and tenant corresponding to the account using a communication means including the Internet. For the account opened, the tenant can only pay the bill, and the landlord can withdraw it.

If the cost charged in the step (c) is the cost charged to the entire shared use facility, the cost is automatically divided into equal units for each unit of use or divided into areas for each unit of use and billed to each account. In the case where the billed cost is billed according to the amount of service used, the amount of service actually used for each unit of use may be measured and billed for each account in step (c) according to the measured amount.

According to the present invention, the divisions are divided according to the space using the common facilities, the accounts are linked for each division, and the charges for the divided spaces are processed based on the accounts, so as to calculate the billing cost, the billing process, and the billing. It is possible to verify payments simply and efficiently, and as a result, time required for billing, time required for payment confirmation, printed materials for billing and preparation time, and manpower previously required for such charges. It is possible to reduce the cost of the landlord or the facility, and can be freed from complex billing, collection, and management, such as rent, administration and utility bills. This provides an effect of reducing the burden on the corresponding costs. When the method proposed in the present invention is used in a bank, the renter's rental property is dedicated to rent, management fee, tax, gas or electricity, and usage charges, giving convenience to the landlord and the tenant, and the bank circulating the rental property. The effect is to monopolize the funds raised.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows an example of the flow of the billing management method for common use facilities according to the present invention.

The space used for the common use facility is divided by the use unit including the division registration (step 100), the account is created for the divided unit (step 110), and the costs added to each use unit divided in the step 100 The bill is confirmed through the account created in step 110 that the payment is made to the bill (step 120).

If the shared facility is an apartment, the apartment is divided by lake. That is, in the case of apartments, once the lake is determined, the floor and the floor are determined at the same time. Especially, in the case of the apartment, the lake is divided by the lake. If necessary, it is possible to divide each lake and then reclassify the rooms inside the lake.

If the public use facility is a building with offices, depending on the size of each office, there may be a number of offices divided into partitions on one floor. In this case, there may be a case where each office is registered separately. In such a case, office units may be divided into units of use as in the case of the above-mentioned apartments. However, when there is no classification registration for each office, for example, it can be divided into 4th floor, 3rd room, and in such a case, it will divide by a room unit. If necessary, it is possible to divide the inside of one room and divide it again, and if necessary, when a single company uses several rooms, the rooms may be divided into one unit of use. In such cases, even if these rooms are divided on different floors, they can be divided into units of use if necessary.

That is, in the present invention, the division by use unit includes a wide variety of cases, and can be applied flexibly in each case, and there is no separate limitation on the division. In other words, the space divided by the division register may be divided into one use unit, and the space divided by the division register may be further divided, and the divided spaces may be divided into different use units that are separated from each other. It is also possible to combine the divided units of use into one unit of use. In the case of dividing and using the space not divided by the classification register, each of the divided spaces can be divided into one use unit, and similarly, some of the divided use units can be integrated into one use unit.

In addition, the common use facility does not have to be a residential or office space such as an apartment or a general building, and other real estate such as land may apply the present invention while maintaining the gist of the present invention. That is, the common use facility of the present invention can be applied to various real estate facilities.

An account is generated for each of the divided use units as described above (step 110). The account generated at this time may be an account number or a virtual account of an actual financial institution, and the account number generated at this time may be a financial institution in which an account is opened, information on the common use facility, and a unit used in step 100. And it may include a code reflecting the type of the cost added in step 120.

For example, a bank code + building code + building + floor + lake + division unit + service code can be combined, and it is obvious that the order of the codes and the method of expression can be varied in addition to the combination.

In this case, the bank code is a delimiter assigned to each bank to which the opened account is linked, and the building code is a delimiter assigned to each building corresponding to the address of the facility, and in this case, a postal code corresponding to the building may be used. have. The floor is the number of floors where the object is managed, and the lake is the lake assigned to classify the object, and the division unit is further divided into rooms, kitchens, etc. in the building / floor / lake to classify the target facility. Delimiter. The service code is a delimiter assigned to distinguish the details to be charged, that is, to be charged. 2 shows an example of an account number assigned as described above.

The building code may use the postal code assigned to the facility, if necessary, and if such a postal code is not available, the building code may be randomly assigned to the facility to distinguish the facilities from each other.

The service code is a one-to-one association of charges from landlords, building managers, and external service providers (eg suppliers of electricity, water, internet, telephone services, gas stations) to their facilities, objects classified by unit of use. Is the code for 3 shows an example of such a service code.

The division code is a separator used to distinguish between the original office and the newly formed office when a single office is formed by using a structure such as a partition. For example, if a room in an apartment is re-rented separately, it is also used to identify the rent.

Preferably, the account number created as above is set as an account number that can be used by a financial institution. However, some financial institutions have certain rules in assigning account numbers, and when it is difficult to assign an account number as described above, the financial institution's account numbering method is used. For the purpose of the virtual account may be given a separate account code that reflects the code given in the above manner.

Alternatively, the account number is set to include information about the financial institution, facilities, service codes, etc., while distinguished by the unit of use as described above, rather than matching the account number of the financial institution, and the account number and the actual bank account number. You can also map For example, after a virtual account is collectively generated by a financial institution, a code (for example, a management code) of an account generated as described above is mapped to each virtual account.

As in the above example, the management code is generated in the form of a bank code + building code + building + floor + lake + division unit + service code. E.g,

It may be generated as "31-00152200-01-0401-01-01".

This is the account or management code generated in step 110 in the same combination as bank code-building code-east-floor and service-01 value of division-01 value of lake-01 value.

This may be mapped to correspond to the virtual account 028-12-0928357 of bank xx. As such, the virtual accounts 028-12-0928358 and 028-12-0928359 of the bank xx are respectively assigned to the management codes 31-00152200-01-0401-01-01 and 31-00152200-01-0401-01-01 according to the present invention. Corresponding.

In this case, since the bank xx bank has already been determined, the bank code (31 in the above example) of the first part of the management code may be omitted depending on the application. Of course, such a mapping will be displayed to a user who deposits an account created in step 110, or a virtual account mapped to that account or any account in the real account, or a separate account specified by a user linked to that account. It will not be necessary.

That is, in any case, the account created in step 110 is connected to the real account designated by the tenant, and when the tenant pays the real account designated by the tenant in step 120, the payment result is reflected in the account created in step 110. For example, in step 120, if the tenant makes a payment to the real account designated by the tenant, the payment result can be transferred to the account created in step 110 under certain conditions. In this case, the transfer is exemplified, but it may be withdrawn by another party by claiming the deposit. It may also be withdrawn or transferred immediately in time, and may be withdrawn or transferred after a certain period of time as needed. That is, it is obvious that various applications are possible within the scope of the present invention after the deposit into the account as described above, which is included in the scope of the present invention.

In step 120, the account generated in step 110 is charged for each unit of use, and the payment is confirmed through the account (step 130). At this time, if there is no or late payment of the previous claim, the unpaid amount and the late interest may be claimed together.

The account created in step 110 is linked to the tenant of the co-use facility and the tenant by unit of use so that the contact information, including SMS or e-mail, is linked to the tenant to inform the subject of the charge. That is, it stores the information to contact the landlord and tenant in advance.

In step 120, if a charge is made through each account, the tenant's contact information for the account is used to indicate that the charge has been made. If the payment is made, the corresponding renter's contact information is used for the charge. Inform them of what has been paid. Optionally, at the time of billing, the landlord is also notified and, if paid, the tenant can be notified. In addition, if the payment is not received by the due date for the billed fee, you may be notified by SMS or email.

For such claims and payments, both the lessor or the lessee needs to search again. In order to facilitate such a search, it is preferable that the details of billing and payment for each use unit through the account can be provided to the landlord and the tenant corresponding to the account by using a communication means including the Internet.

4 shows an example of such an inquiry screen. As such, implementing the inquiry service through the Internet is obvious to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains, and thus a separate description according to the implementation is omitted.

In addition, due to the nature of the account, the tenant can only pay for the account, and the lessor can withdraw the account created in step 110. If the tenant deposits administrative expenses, etc. by connecting the separate account used by the tenant to the account created in step 110, it is natural that the deposit and withdrawal is free through his account, but it is created in step 110 through his account. Deposits can be made to a given account, but not in the opposite direction. In addition, in the case of the lessor, it is obvious that the account created in step 110 can be withdrawn through its own separate account by connecting to its own separate account.

If the cost charged in step 120 is the cost charged to the entire shared use facility, the cost can be automatically divided into equal units for each unit of use or divided into areas for each unit of use and billed to each account. In addition, when the billed cost is billed according to the amount of service used, the amount of service actually used for each unit of use may be measured and billed for each account in step 120 based on the measured amount.

The monthly rent and / or administrative expenses, which are the costs charged for each building unit (dong, lake), can be claimed as they are divided by the unit used. However, for example, in the case of electric charges, there is a part to be charged according to the division for each unit of use, and there are cases in which all the units are required to be jointly charged, such as corridor lighting or elevator operation. To be prepared for such a case, there should be criteria for sharing such external service costs. Therefore, the fee charged by the type of service and the content of the service should be classified as area unit or lake unit. For example, the calculation of the number of lakes is the cost of operating an elevator (but the first floor should be excluded), the electricity, etc., and the area should be classified by area such as fire insurance and expenses management expenses. Therefore, when an electric charge for the entire building is charged, the cost to be charged for each unit of use can be automatically calculated by using a calculation means such as a computer and an appropriate program considering the above classification rules under the above criteria.

If partitions are divided into partitions in the building's copper, floor, and lake spaces, separated from each other and separated into separate units of use, a separate internal meter is used to measure service usage by units of use. The amount of service installed and used is measured, and the fee is automatically divided based on the measured result and charged for each use unit. In order to prepare for such a case has been described for using the classification code above. In this case, measured information on the actual amount of service used by a meter such as a computer or server that calculates the costs to be charged for each unit of use or account by using each meter (i.e. For example, it is easy for a person skilled in the art to receive the used electric capacity, amount of water, and the like and calculate the data automatically.

In this case, the calculation by dividing by each unit of use as described above may be divided into only the facility in a device such as a local server installed inside each facility with reference to the results measured in the internal meter, or outside the building In some places, such as a central server device, it is possible to calculate the results of each unit of use by collecting the measured results for each unit of use from various facilities. In either case, the subject matter of the present invention is maintained.

As shown in step 100, the space used for each unit of use is classified into a database by an administrator in advance, and when the classification is changed, the contents stored in the database are changed, and the stored contents are stored in the same manner as the computer. Means can be used. In addition, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to create an account for each unit of use based on the same criteria as described above, and to connect the account with the financial institution's server in accordance with a predetermined procedure. Reference may be easily made.

5 is an example of an operating environment for providing a service using the present invention. The present invention may be used directly by the landlord 530 side, but may be used through an intermediate configuration such as management company 500. In this case, the landlord entrusts management of his property to the management company 500, and the management company 500 shares information in association with the financial institution 510. When an institution 540 that provides a service such as electricity or gas identifies a building to be billed for when providing a service, and bills the financial institution 510 linked to the service according to the present invention for the building. do. In this case, all cases, such as the billing bank for each building, are publicly available and easily accessible.

The financial institution 510 notifies the management company 500 of such a billing history, and the management company 500 automatically automatically charges the billing amount for each use unit or corresponding account according to the criteria described above. Calculations are made at regular intervals, for example, once a month. Such claims are sent to the tenant by email or via SMS, which may be accompanied by such notice and the details of the charges made to them over the Internet. If the tenant makes a payment through the billed account, or a virtual account linked thereto, or his or her account linked to the billed account, the result is subject to the landlord under certain conditions (for example, three days after the payment, or after the payment deadline). You can be notified of deposits and withdrawals. In addition, the cost of the service requested by the service institution 540 may be prepaid by the financial institution 510 or the management company 500 or may be paid in advance by billing the tenant.

In another embodiment, service organization 540 may charge directly against an account number generated in accordance with the present invention. For example, when a company providing a gas supply service charges a service fee for each unit of use, information about an account assigned to each unit of use (ie, each tenant) from the management company 500 or the financial institution 510 is provided. After receiving, if you charge by the unit of use, you can charge through the account. In the case of the above embodiment, the tenant may receive only one time through the management company for the entire claim that he or she has to pay in the month. You may be given times.

In addition, if the claimed cost is deposited by the lessee, the management company 500 may be involved and pay the billed amount to the service organization that charged it. In addition, according to the application of the present invention, it is possible to enable the service institution, which is the subject that charged for the deposited amount, to visit the price. In this case, withdrawal from the account should only be under certain conditions. That is, only pre-registered and / or certified subjects should withdraw money. To do this, the service provider must be pre-certified, specify the type of service they are billing for and the service usage unit (or renter) they are billing for, and they will be issued a corresponding account and billed through that account. It will be necessary to withdraw only the amount deposited through.

In FIG. 5, the management company 500 and the financial institution 510 are separately shown, but the present invention may be implemented by combining them into one structural unit while keeping the gist of the present invention, and the management company 500 and the financial institution. 510 and the landlord 530 may be combined into one component unit to implement all of the present invention on the landlord side. The parts to be applied will be different according to the implementation, but all modifications will still be included within the scope of the present invention.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in a modified form without departing from the essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments should be considered in descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. Examples included in the above description are introduced for the understanding of the present invention, and these examples do not limit the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, in the above description, the Internet is mainly used as an example of a communication network, but it is also possible to use a public telephone communication network such as a PSTN, and in addition to the above examples, various embodiments according to the present invention are possible. It will be obvious to those of ordinary skill in this technical field. The scope of the present invention is shown not in the above description but in the claims, and all differences within the scope will be construed as being included in the present invention.

In addition, it can be easily understood by those skilled in the art that each of the above steps according to the present invention can be variously implemented in software or hardware using a general programming technique.

And some steps of the invention may also be embodied as computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of computer-readable recording media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, CD-RW, magnetic tape, floppy disks, HDDs, optical disks, magneto-optical storage devices, and carrier wave (eg, Internet It also includes the implementation in the form of). The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion.

The present invention can be used for billing management, such as management fees, rent, electricity, water use fees for facilities that are used jointly by several users.
