Before the end date of the course, the computer front desk selects the first tuition calculation module corresponding to the first course plan. Calculation logic calculates fees, and when the first participants leave, leave the computer calculates the reception module is selected to leave the charging period is not.

In an embodiment, a second tuition calculation module is coupled to the computer foreground, and has a calculation logic for calculating a second course tuition. When the student converts from the first course to the second course, the computer The foreground selects the calculation logic of the second tuition calculation module corresponding to the second course plan to calculate the tuition fee.

In an embodiment, a conditional database is further coupled to the computer The front desk, wherein the condition database stores a student conversion course condition, and when the student converts the participating course, the computer foreground determines whether the student can perform the course conversion according to the student conversion course condition stored in the condition database.

In an embodiment, when a second student selects the first lesson plan, the computer foreground automatically calculates the course according to the number of classes in the first course plan plus the number of allowed classes, according to the second student registration time. End date.

Another aspect of the present invention provides a dynamic account management method for calculating a total tuition fee for a first course participant participating in a plurality of courses provided by a teaching system, the method comprising at least: when the first student registers, Selecting a course end date calculation module automatically calculates a course end date according to the number of classes in the first course plan selected by the first student plus the number of allowed classes, and the course end date is automatically calculated by the first student registration time; Before, the computer front desk selects a calculation logic corresponding to a first tuition calculation module of the first course plan to calculate a tuition fee; and when the first student takes a leave, the computer foreground selects an leave calculation module during the leave period.

In order to make the description of the present invention more complete and complete, reference is made to the accompanying drawings and the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments provided are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and the description of the operation of the structure is not intended to limit the order of execution thereof, and any structure recombined by components has equal merit. The devices are all within the scope of the invention.

The drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not drawn to the original dimensions. On the other hand, well-known elements and steps are not described in the embodiments to avoid unnecessarily limiting the invention.

The dynamic account management method and the account management system of the present invention use a splicing calculation method to form an entire account management process. That is to say, an account management process is matched with a student's course selection learning process. Each course has independent billing logic. When the student changes the course, it also changes the billing used by the account management system. The logic makes the overall billing process complete by a number of different billing logics.

Fig. 1A is a schematic diagram showing a dynamic account management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. If a student is in a fixed study time T, select course A for learning at time T1, class conversion at time T2, convert course A to course B, and perform course conversion again at time T3. B is converted to course A. At this time, the present invention corresponds to the account management mode of the student, and adopts a splicing calculation mode, that is, in the period from time T1 to time T2, the present invention uses the charging logic A of the course A to perform charging, at time T2 to time. In the period of T3, the conversion uses the billing logic B of the course B for billing, and in the period from time T3 to time T4, the billing logic A of the course A is again converted for billing. This kind of splicing billing method avoids the disorder of billing. For example, the billing logic of Course A is 30 yuan for 6000 yuan, and the billing logic for course B is 40 yuan for 6000 yuan. At this time, if a student prepays a fixed amount before the course starts, the account management system of the present invention can, according to the present invention, convert the course according to the student within the prepaid amount. Time-of-day, different accounting logic is used to calculate tuition fees. Accordingly, in the period from time T1 to time T2, 30 6,000 yuan billing logic is used, and charging is performed according to the number of classrooms of the student; in the period from time T2 to time T3, 40 6,000 yuan billing is used. Logic, billing based on the number of classes in the class, and so on. Further, in an embodiment, when the student takes time off, for example, during the time period from time T3 to time T4, the student has a T' period of time to take a leave of absence. At this time, the accounting management method of the present invention first adopts the charging logic of the course A for charging, and after entering the T' period, splicing a leave accounting logic, for example, not charging in the T' period After the time flow advances to the end of the T' period, the next time the student attends the class, the billing logic of the stitching course A is re-scheduled for course billing.

In another embodiment, when a course is a recurring course, the student may prepay a certain amount of the amount at any stage of the course and start the class. Therefore, each student’s start time is different. Accordingly, the present invention can set different start times for each student, as shown in FIG. 1B, which is a schematic diagram of a dynamic account management mode according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the student A and the student B pay a certain amount at different time points for class, and at this time, the billing system of the present invention converts the amount into a number according to the amount paid, such as 6000 yuan 35 Class, 4000 yuan, 20 lessons, etc. The course end date calculation module automatically calculates the course end date from the date of payment of the tuition fee based on the calculated number of classes, and records the class time of each class when the class is in class, and performs tuition according to the billing logic selected. Calculation. Accordingly, each student's class start and end dates may be different, and the billing logic selected may vary depending on the course plan selected by the student. again The invention may further include an extension requirement, for example, when encountering a national holiday; or the student has previously known a certain time period at the beginning of the class, such as winter vacation or summer vacation, and will not be able to attend classes; In the middle of the class, special accidents need to be extended. The invention can be customized for different students, giving different start time or number of classes, and the course end date calculation module automatically delays the course end date. . It is worth noting that the above provisions for granting additional classes can be generated by agreement between the course provider and the student, or by the course provider for each class. In the case that the student does not attend the class date, the technique of the teaching of the present invention may be used, and during the period when the student is not in class, the splicing-offending billing logic is used, and no billing is performed during this period, and the time flow is advanced to the end of the period. After that, the billing logic of the stitching course is performed for the course billing in the next class time. In other words, a custom billing module can be set for each student and each course.

Figure 1C shows a billing module designed for each student and each course in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. This includes the student account number, course name, course start date, course end date, course billing logic, and allowed extensions (open leave). The billing logic can be used, such as 6,000 yuan, 35 lessons, 4,000 yuan, 20 lessons, etc., for billing. According to this, after the user pays the fee, the course end date calculation module calculates the course end date from the user registration date according to the number of classrooms above the user plus the number of allowed extension classes. When the user has an additional number of uses after the end date of the course, the system of the present invention warns the course provider to prohibit the user from using it. In addition, you can set a course conversion limit for the course end date. For example, students are prohibited from switching courses at a fixed time before the end date of this course. In summary, the account management method of the present invention can separately set different billing logics and leave logics in the account management system according to different situations, and corresponding billing logic and leave under the condition that the settings are met. The logic is spliced in sequence, so it can be flexibly applied to different student situations. This type of account management is used because the billing logic is based on the activity of the student's course of study and is not a single rate, so it can be applied to the account management of multiple courses. It is also possible to change the billing logic or join the leave logic at any time according to the actual situation to become a dynamic account management system.

2 is a schematic diagram of a dynamic account management system in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The account management system 100 of the present invention includes a computer foreground 110 and a plurality of computing modules. In this embodiment, four computing modules are respectively a first computing module 121 and a second computing module 122. The course end date calculation module 123 and the leave calculation module 124 are used as an example to illustrate the application of the present invention. However, in other embodiments, the number of calculation modules may be changed according to actual use conditions, and is not limited to this embodiment. . In one embodiment, the computer foreground 110 is a central processing unit, and the first computing module 121 and the second computing module 122 are respectively configured to provide different computing logic, that is, for, for example, 6,000 yuan, 35 classes, 4000 yuan. 20 classes, etc., provide different computing logic for billing. The course end date calculation module 123 calculates the end date of the course according to the number of classes in the user's selection of the course plan plus the number of allowed classes, which allows the number of classes to be extended, for example, in the course plan. Set a fixed number of leaveables, such as one class per week, 4,000 yuan, 20 weeks and 20 lessons, allowing two classes for leave, ie Can be completed within 22 weeks, then the course end date calculation module 123, according to which 22 weeks to calculate the course end date. In another embodiment, the number of allowed classes may include the number of leaveables for exceptions, such as encountering a summer vacation or a national holiday or getting sick, and the number of corresponding classes may be extended accordingly. The course end date calculation module 123 then calculates the course end date based on the number of classes and the number of classes. The leave calculation module 124 does not perform billing logic during the period when the student does not attend the class, and does not perform billing during this period. After the end of the period, the calculation module 121 or 122 is re-scheduled in the next class period. Fee logic for course billing. The four computing modules 121, 122, 123, and 124 are coupled to the computer foreground 110. The computer foreground 110 can receive an input signal 130 to select an arithmetic logic provided by one of the four computing modules 121, 122, 123, 124 for calculation. It is worth noting that the administrator of the dynamic account management system can also edit different computing modules and billing logic according to the new course. According to this, when a student selects this new course, the manager only needs to put the student data into the new editing calculation module, and the charging operation logic can be used to perform the tuition calculation. With such a self-editable mode of the present invention, the dynamic account management system of the present invention can be flexibly expanded to meet different needs.

Please also refer to FIG. 1A, wherein the first computing module 121 is used to provide the billing operation logic of the course A, and the second computing module 122 is used to provide the billing operation logic of the course B, and the course end date calculation module. The 123 system is used to calculate the course end date according to the number of classes in the user plus the number of allowed classes, and the leave calculation module 124 is to provide the billing calculation logic when the student does not attend the class. Accordingly, when referring to Figure 1A The students are shown in the class status for billing. First, the course A is selected for learning at time T1. Accordingly, the computer foreground 110 receives the input signal 130 for selecting the course A, selects the arithmetic logic of the first computing module 121, and performs tuition calculation accordingly. Then, at the time T2, the course conversion is performed, and the course A is converted into the course B. At this time, the computer foreground 110 receives the input signal 130 converted from the course A into the course B at time T2, so the operation logic of the second calculation module 122 is selected. According to this, the tuition calculation is carried out. At time T3, the course conversion is performed again, and the course B is converted into the course A. At this time, the computer foreground 110 receives the input signal 130 converted from the course B into the course A at time T3, and selects the operation logic of the first calculation module 121. This is a tuition calculation. When entering T, the time period, the student takes time off. At this time, the computer front desk 110 receives the input signal 130 of the leave request, and selects the operation logic of the leave calculation module 124 until T, the time period ends, the student resumes the class A, and the next class The operation logic of the first calculation module 121 is selected again in the time period, and the tuition calculation is performed accordingly. The different computing logic provided by different computing modules allows the computer foreground 110 to select the computing logic provided by different computing modules for charging according to different class conditions, thereby avoiding charging disorder. Furthermore, if the course is a recurring course, participants can join the course at any stage of the course. Accordingly, if there are two students, Student A and Student B will join the course at different times. At this time, the computer foreground 110 of the present invention selects the course end date calculation module 123, and automatically calculates the course end date according to the number of classes in the course plan selected by the student A and the student B plus the number of allowed classes, and simultaneously During the class, record the time of class. Before the end of the course, select different computing modules for billing according to the class situation. According to this, it can be increased Add computing modules to provide more computing logic, that is, when there is a new billing situation, you can add additional computing modules to respond to this situation without changing the original architecture. Therefore, the account management system of the present invention can be combined with the development of different courses to provide the advantages of flexible expansion.

In addition, in still another embodiment, the teaching system may pre-set some conversion conditions or a fee usage period for the student to change the course or for the student's prepaid fee. For example, the course cannot be converted for a period of time before the expiration of the prepaid fee, the remaining prepaid fee must be greater than a certain amount to convert the course, or the prepaid fee must be used within three months, etc. Various conversion conditions can be set by themselves without being limited by the above embodiments. Therefore, the account management system of the present invention further includes a condition database 140 coupled to the computer foreground 110 for storing various related course conversion or fee term conditions. When the computer foreground 110 receives an input signal 130, This input signal 130 is compared to the storage conditions in the condition database 140 to confirm whether the input signal is executable. For example, when the computer foreground 110 receives the input signal 130 converted from the course A to the course B, the input signal is compared with the storage conditions in the condition database 140, and if the record A and the course B are recorded, the conversion cannot be performed. At this time, the computer foreground 110 generates a feedback signal 150 to notify the user that the course cannot be converted. Among them, the condition database 140 is extensible, and the teaching system can be updated as needed.
