Note that the read image information may be directly transmitted from the reading device 15 to the registration server 12 .

Next, in step 108, the registration server 12 cuts out a voucher image of each of the plurality of vouchers from the read image, and acquires voucher image information of each voucher. Next, in step 110, the registration server 12 performs character recognition by OCR or the like on each of the plurality of voucher images, and extracts journal element information representing journal elements from the character strings obtained by the character recognition. Here, the "journal entry element" is an element used for the journal entry of vouchers, and is at least one element of date, place, and transaction details.

Here, the process from cutting out the voucher image to extracting the journal element information will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7. FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a read image of a voucher. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a voucher image cut out from a read image. FIG. 7 is a chart showing an example of journal element information extracted from a voucher image.

As shown in FIG. 5, the read image acquired by the reading device 15 includes a plurality of evidenced images. As shown in FIG. 6, a voucher image for each of a plurality of vouchers is cut out from the read image, and identification information is given to each voucher. In the illustrated example, voucher IDs R1 to R6 are assigned to each of a plurality of vouchers. Each voucher image is tilted to facilitate character recognition. Journal element information is extracted from each voucher image by character recognition.

As shown in FIG. 7, the voucher image information and the journal element information are stored in association with the voucher ID. Examples of journal entry elements representing date and time include "date" such as 2018/03/12, "day of the week" such as Monday, and "time" such as 11:10. Place names such as Osaka, Tokyo, and Kanagawa are exemplified as journal entry elements representing locations. Examples of journal elements representing transaction details include "clients" such as A taxi, "product names" such as magazines, "service names" such as fares, and "amounts" such as 910 yen.

Returning to the description of FIG. Next, in step 112, the registration server 12 requests the attendance management system 18 for the attendance information of the user. Next, at step 114 , the attendance management system 18 transmits the attendance information associated with the user ID to the registration server 12 . Also, at step 116, the registration server 12 requests the expense claim system 16 for the user's history information. Next, at step 118 , expense claim system 16 transmits history information associated with the user ID to registration server 12 .

A "predetermined journal entry element" is acquired from at least one of the attendance information and history information. A "predetermined journal entry element" is at least one of an element related to the user's business schedule and an element related to the user's past application. Elements related to the user's work schedule include working hours (e.g., 9:00 to 17:00), break times (e.g., 12:00 to 13:00), and days off (e.g., Sundays).

Elements related to the user's past expense application include past applications such as an application for accommodation expenses during a business trip and an application for transportation expenses when going out.

Next, at step 120, the registration server 12 executes "journalization processing". In the "journalization process", the registration server 12 recognizes the voucher having the "predetermined journal entry element" among the plurality of vouchers as the "business-related voucher". As a result, a plurality of vouchers are automatically sorted into "business-related vouchers" and "business-unrelated vouchers." Details of the "journalization process" will be described later.

Next, at step 122, the registration server 12 performs a "grouping process". In the "grouping process", the registration server 12 further divides the "documents related to business" into a plurality of groups. Each of the plurality of groups is a processing unit when registering voucher image information. Details of the "grouping process" will be described later.

Next, in step 123, the registration server 12 generates a selection screen based on the journalizing result, the grouping result, and the voucher image information. The selection screen is a screen for the user to select a voucher to be registered as the voucher image information. The selection screen is an example of the "first screen". In the present embodiment, the selection screen is displayed for each group, and a request for registration of evidenced document image information can also be made for each group. When processing in units of groups, processing can be performed more easily than when processing the entire group. Therefore, the following procedure is performed for each group.

Next, in step 124, the registration server 12 instructs the terminal device 14 to display a selection screen. Next, in step 126, the terminal device 14 displays a selection screen on the display unit and accepts the user's selection. On the selection screen, vouchers that have been journalized as "work-related vouchers" in the journal entry process are displayed as selectable. On the other hand, vouchers that have been journalized as “vouchers irrelevant to business” in the journalizing process are displayed so that they cannot be selected. The user selects a voucher by operating the selection screen.

Next, in step 128, the registration server 12 is notified of the selection result by the user. Next, at step 130, the registration server 12 generates a registration confirmation screen and instructs display of the registration confirmation screen. The registration confirmation screen is a screen for the user to confirm the voucher to be registered. The registration confirmation screen is an example of the "second screen". The registration confirmation screen is generated according to the selection result of the user. The registration confirmation screen displays an image of a voucher to be registered and journal element information.

Next, in step 132, the terminal device 14 displays a registration confirmation screen on the display unit and accepts the user's registration request. A registration request is then sent to the registration server 12 at step 134 . At subsequent step 136, the registration server 12 requests the expense claim system 16 to register the voucher image.

－Journal processing－
FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of "journalization processing". FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of journal entries according to working hours. FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of journal entries according to work locations. FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of journal entries according to past applications.

As shown in FIG. 10, in the journalizing process, first, in step 300, it is determined whether or not the date and time indicated by the journalizing element of the target voucher is within working hours. If it is during working hours, the process proceeds to step 308, where the target voucher is recognized as a "work-related voucher" and the routine ends. On the other hand, if it is outside working hours, the process proceeds to step 302 .

As shown in FIG. 7, the date and time read from the voucher R1 is (2018/03/12, Monday, 11:10), and the date and time read from the voucher R2 is (2018/03/12, Monday, 13:52). , the date and time read from voucher R3 is (2018/03/15, Thursday, 7:21), the date and time read from voucher R4 is (2018/03/14, Wednesday, 9:19), and the date and time read from voucher R5 is The date and time read from the document R6 is (2018/03/14, Wednesday, 12:30).

As shown in FIG. 11, being within working hours is a predetermined journal element. Specifically, working hours between 9:00 and 17:00, breaks between 12:00 and 13:00, and dates other than holidays such as Sundays are predetermined journal entry elements. Therefore, the vouchers having predetermined journal entry elements are the voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R4. The voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R4 are "documents related to work" in terms of working hours. Voucher R3, Voucher R5, and Voucher R6 are "vouchers irrelevant to work" in terms of working hours.

Next, in step 302, it is determined whether or not the location indicated by the journal entry element of the target voucher is the intended work location. If it is the planned place of work, the process proceeds to step 308, where the target voucher is recognized as a "work-related voucher" and the routine ends. On the other hand, if it is not the planned place of work, the process proceeds to step 304 .

As shown in Fig. 7, the date and location read from voucher R1 are (2018/03/12, Osaka), the date and location read from voucher R2 are (2018/03/12, Osaka), and the date and location read from voucher R3 are (2018/03/12, Osaka). The date and place read from (2018/03/15, Tokyo), the date and place read from voucher R4 (2018/03/14, Kanagawa), the date and place read from voucher R5 are (2018/ 03/11, Osaka), and the date and place read from the voucher R6 is (2018/03/14, Kanagawa).

As shown in FIG. 12, being an expected place of work is a predetermined journal element. Normally, the company is the intended place of work, and in the case of telecommuting, the intended place of work is home. In the case of a business trip or going out, the destination is the planned place of work. In the illustrated example, the work schedule of the user is ascertained from the attendance information: a business trip to Osaka on March 12, 2018, and training in Kanagawa on March 14, 2018. Therefore, it is a predetermined journal element that the work place is "Osaka" on 2018/3/12 and the work place is "Kanagawa" on 2018/3/14.

Therefore, the vouchers having predetermined journal entry elements are the voucher R1, the voucher R2, the voucher R4, the voucher R5, and the voucher R6. Voucher R1, Voucher R2, Voucher R4, Voucher R5, and Voucher R6 are "vouchers related to work" when viewed from the workplace. The voucher R3 is "a voucher irrelevant to work" from the viewpoint of the workplace.

Next, in step 304, it is determined whether or not there was a past application for the transaction content indicated by the journal element of the subject voucher. If there is a past application, the process proceeds to step 308, where the target voucher is recognized as "business-related voucher" and the routine ends. On the other hand, if there is no past application, the process proceeds to step 306 .

Next, in step 306, the target voucher is recognized as "a voucher unrelated to business", and the routine ends.

As shown in FIG. 7, the transaction details read from the voucher R1 are (A taxi, fare, 910 yen), the transaction details read from the voucher R2 are (B hotel, accommodation, 5500 yen), and the transaction details read from the voucher R3. The transaction details read from voucher R4 are (Gas station C, high-octane, 3834 yen), the transaction details read from voucher R4 are (gas station D, high-octane, 6259 yen), and the transaction details read from voucher R5 are (E convenience store, spaghetti , 450 yen), and the transaction content read from the voucher R6 is (F bookstore, magazine, 2808 yen).

As shown in FIG. 13, the fact that there is a past application for transaction content is a predetermined journal element. In the illustrated example, there are past applications for taxi A, hotel B, and gas station D, which are predetermined journal entries.

Therefore, the vouchers having predetermined journal entry elements are the voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R4. The voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R4 are "documents related to business" from the viewpoint of past applications. Evidence R3, Evidence R5, and Evidence R6 are "evidences irrelevant to business" from the viewpoint of past applications.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, if any one of working hours, planned working place, and past application has a predetermined journal entry element, it is recognized as a "business-related document." If none of the working hours, planned work location, or past application has a predetermined journal entry element, it is recognized as "unrelated to work is evidence".

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of journalizing results. As shown in FIG. 14, the journalization result is obtained that the vouchers R1, R2, R4, R5, and R6 are "business related vouchers" and the voucher R3 is "unrelated vouchers".

- Grouping process -
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of "grouping processing".
As shown in FIG. 15, in the grouping process, first, in step 400, journal elements having a plurality of journal element information are extracted for "business-related vouchers."

If the journal element is "location", it has two types of journal element information: Osaka and Kanagawa. Also, for example, if the journal element is "date", it has three types of journal element information: 3/11, 3/12, and 3/14. Further, for example, when the journal elements are "amount" and "customer", the content differs for each voucher, and there are five types of journal element information.

Next, at step 402, the journal elements are identified to be divided into groups. The "journal element" used in the grouping process may be determined by the user each time grouping is performed, may be determined in advance, or may be specified automatically. Also, multiple journal elements such as location and date may be used in combination.

When the journal element is automatically specified, for example, it may be the journal element that minimizes the number of groups generated by grouping. In the example shown in FIG. 7, if the journal entry element is "place", it is divided into two groups, Osaka and Kanagawa, and the number of groups is minimized.

Further, for example, the journal elements may be specified so as to generate groups in which the number of pieces of journal element information is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (for example, three or more). In the example shown in FIG. 7, if the journal element is "place", the number of journal element information is 3 for Osaka and 2 for Kanagawa, and a group with 3 or more journal element information is generated.

Next, at step 404, the identified journal element is grouped and the routine ends.

In the first embodiment, journal elements are specified such that the number of groups generated by grouping is minimized. Business-related documents are divided into optimal groups.

－Selection screen generation－
16 and 17 are schematic diagrams showing examples of selection screens according to the first embodiment.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, if the journal element is "place", the "documents related to business" are group 1 whose place is "Osaka" and group 2 whose place is "Kanagawa". can be divided into Keywords such as "business trip to Osaka" and "training in Kanagawa" are the headers of each group.

A selection screen is generated and displayed for each group. For example, for Group 1, a selection screen 60 shown in FIG. 16 is displayed. On the selection screen 60, a bar 61 for scrolling the screen, a selection section 62 for selecting group 1, a selection section 64 for selecting group 2, a work area 66, and a "next" button 68 are displayed. It is

The image of the “document related to business” belonging to group 1 is displayed in the business area 66 . On the other hand, the image of "evidence irrelevant to work" is displayed in a non-business area outside the business area 66 . In the illustrated example, the images of the voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R5 related to the business trip to Osaka are displayed in the business area 66. FIG. The business domain 66 is an example of a "first domain", and the non-business domain is an example of a "second domain".

Each voucher image displayed in the business area 66 is provided with a selection section 69 to allow selection. On the other hand, the image of the voucher displayed in the non-business area is not provided with the selection section 69 and is not selectable. In the illustrated example, the images of the voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R5 can be selected, but the image of the voucher R3 cannot be selected.

The selection section 62, the selection section 64, and the selection section 69 are, for example, checkboxes. When a check is put in either the selection section 62 or the selection section 64, the corresponding group is selected. When group 1 is selected in the selection section 62 and a check is put in the selection section 69, the corresponding voucher image is selected. The selection section 69 may be checked by default. When the image of the voucher to be registered is selected and the "next" button 68 is pressed, the selection of the image of the voucher of group 1 is completed.

Here, only the image of the selected voucher is to be "registration target", and the image of the voucher that is not selected is not to be "registration target". For example, even if an image of a voucher irrelevant to business is displayed in the business area 66, it will not be registered unless it is selected here.

Similarly, for Group 2, the selection screen shown in FIG. 17 is displayed. On the selection screen 60A, a bar 61A for scrolling the screen, a selection section 62 for selecting group 1, a selection section 64 for selecting group 2, a business area 66A, and a "next" button 68A are displayed. It is

The image of the "document related to business" belonging to Group 2 is displayed in the business area 66A. Each voucher image displayed in the business area 66A is provided with a selection section 69A so that selection is possible. In the illustrated example, the images of the vouchers R4 and R6 related to the Kanagawa training are displayed in the work area 66A as images of "work-related vouchers".

When group 2 is selected in the selection section 64 and a check is put in the selection section 69A, the corresponding voucher image is selected. When the image of the voucher to be registered is selected and the "next" button 68A is pressed, the selection of the image of the voucher of group 2 is completed.

-registration process-
FIG. 18 is a flow chart showing an example of the flow of "registration processing". FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a registration confirmation screen.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the registration process, first, in step 500, the selection result of the user is acquired. Next, in step 502, a registration confirmation screen is generated according to the selection result of the user, and the display of the registration confirmation screen is instructed. Next, in step 504, the user's registration request is accepted. In the following step 506, the expense application system is requested to register the voucher image, and the routine ends.

As shown in FIG. 19, the registration confirmation screen 80 displays an image 84 of a voucher that has been selected by the user on the selection screen and has become a target for registration (the selected receipt is displayed). Also, on the registration confirmation screen 80, in addition to the image 84 of the voucher to be registered, a bar 81 for scrolling the screen, journal element information 82 such as date and place, attendance information 83 such as work name, and "cancel" instruction. A button 86 for registering and a button 88 for instructing "registration" are displayed.

The example shown in FIG. 19 is a case where all the images of vouchers displayed within the business frame are selected on the selection screen for group 1 shown in FIG. In the illustrated example, images of the voucher R1, the voucher R2, and the voucher R5 are displayed as the voucher image 84. FIG. In addition, as journal element information 82, dates such as 2018/03/12, expense items such as transportation expenses, and places such as Shin-Yokohama to Shin-Osaka are displayed. As the attendance information 83, business names such as a business trip to Osaka are displayed. The user may modify the journal element information 82 and attendance information 83 .

The attendance information 83 is acquired from the attendance management system 18 . Journal element information 82 regarding date and place is obtained from the scanned image (see FIG. 5). Expense items such as transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, material expenses, etc. are obtained from history information if similar past applications have been made. Expense items may also be estimated from the user's attendance information and history information. The user may modify the estimated expense items.

When the button 88 instructing "registration" is pressed, the registration server 12 accepts the user's request for registering the voucher image 84 to be registered. In this embodiment, since the selection screen is displayed for each group, the registration of the voucher image is performed for each group. Note that journal entries cannot be corrected on the registration confirmation screen. In case of correcting the result of journalizing, press the button 86 instructing "cancel" to cancel the registration, return to the selection screen, and select the voucher image again.

<Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, the case of automatically identifying journal elements was explained, but in the second embodiment, grouping is performed by a plurality of predetermined journal elements, and a selection screen is generated for each journal element. ,indicate. Also, images of vouchers belonging to a plurality of groups are collectively displayed on one selection screen. In the illustrated example, the grouping is done for each of the three journal entry elements: date, location, and past submissions. The rest of the configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and descriptions thereof are omitted.

(Selection screen)
FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a selection screen according to the second embodiment. The selection screen 90 includes a bar 91 for scrolling the screen, a selection section 92 for selecting a journal element (date), a selection section 93 for selecting a journal element (place), and a selection section 94 for selecting a journal element (past application). , a work area 95, and a button 96 instructing to proceed to "next" are displayed.

On the selection screen 90 shown in FIG. 20, a selection section 92 for selecting a journal entry element (date) is selected. If the journal entry element is "Date", the "Documents related to business" are Group 1 with the date "3/11", Group 2 with the date "3/12", and Group 2 with the date "3/14". Divided into Group 3. Keywords such as "3/11", "3/12", and "3/14" are the headers of each group.

The images of the “business-related vouchers” belonging to Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 are collectively displayed in the business area 95. FIG. In addition, images of vouchers are displayed in groups. On the other hand, the image of "evidence irrelevant to business" is displayed in a non-business area outside the business area 95. FIG. In the illustrated example, the image of voucher R5 belonging to group 1 (date 3/11), the images of vouchers R1 and R2 belonging to group 2 (date 3/12), and the images belonging to group 3 (date 3/14) The images of the vouchers R4 and R6 are displayed in the business area 95. FIG.

A selection section 98 is provided for each voucher image displayed in the business area 95, and each image can be selected. A selection unit 97 is also provided for each group so that each group can be selected. On the other hand, the image of the voucher displayed in the non-business area is not provided with the selection section 98 and is not selectable. In the illustrated example, the images of the voucher R1, the voucher R2, the voucher 4, the voucher R5, and the voucher 6 can be selected, but the image of the voucher R3 cannot be selected.

The selection section 92, the selection section 93, the selection section 94, the selection section 97, and the selection section 98 are check boxes, for example. If a check is put in any of the selection section 92, the selection section 93, and the selection section 94, grouping by the corresponding journal element is selected. When a check is put in the selection section 97, images of vouchers belonging to the corresponding group are selected. When a check is put in the selection section 98, the corresponding voucher image is selected. The selection section 97 and the selection section 98 may be checked by default.

When the image of the voucher to be registered is selected and the "next" button 96 is pressed, the selection of the image of the voucher is completed. It is the same as the example shown in FIG. 16 in that the images of vouchers that have not been selected do not become "registration targets".

(Correction of Journal Result)
Next, a method for correcting journal entry results will be described.
21 and 22 are schematic diagrams showing an example of correction of journalizing results on the selection screen. Since the selection screen shown in FIG. 21 is the same as the selection screen shown in FIG. 20, the same reference numerals are assigned and the description thereof is omitted. In the illustrated example, the image of the voucher R3 displayed in the non-business area is moved to the business area 95 . By moving the image of the voucher R3 to the business area 95, the journalizing result of the voucher R3 related to the moved image is changed from the voucher unrelated to the business to "the voucher related to the business".

As a result, the image of the voucher R3 is displayed in the business area 95 as shown in FIG. A selection section 98 corresponding to the image of the voucher R3 is added, and the image of the voucher R3 can be selected by the selection section 98 . Since the date of voucher R3 is "3/15", group 4 with date "3/15" is also added. A selection section 97 corresponding to group 4 is added, and the image of voucher R3 belonging to group 4 can also be selected.

(selection of grouping)
Next, the selection of which journal elements to group by is described.
Fig. 20 illustrates the case where the journal element is "date", but Fig. 23 shows the selection screen when the journal element is "place". The screen is shown in FIG. FIG. 25 shows the selection screen when the journal elements are "date" and "place". Since the selection screens shown in FIGS. 23, 24, and 25 are the same as the selection screen shown in FIG. 20, the same reference numerals are assigned and the description thereof is omitted.

As described above, if any one of working hours, planned working place, and past application has predetermined journal entry elements, it is recognized as "business-related vouchers." If none of the working hours, planned work location, or past application has a predetermined journal entry element, it is recognized as "unrelated to work is evidence". The journalizing results are common to FIGS. 20 to 25 (see FIG. 14).

On the selection screen 90A shown in FIG. 23, a selection section 93 for selecting journal elements (places) is selected. When the journal entry element is "place", the "documents related to business" are divided into group 1 where the place is "Osaka" and group 2 where the place is "Kanagawa". A selection section 97A is provided for each group, and when a check is put in the selection section 97A, images of vouchers belonging to the corresponding group are selected.

On the selection screen 90B shown in FIG. 24, a selection section 94 for selecting a journal element (past application) is selected. When the journal element is "past application", the "business-related vouchers" are divided into group 1 with "past application" and group 2 with "no past application". A selection section 97B is provided for each group, and when a check is put in the selection section 97B, images of vouchers belonging to the corresponding group are selected.

In the selection screen 90C shown in FIG. 25, a selection section 92 for selecting a journal element (date) and a selection section 93 for selecting a journal element (place) are selected. If the journal elements are "Date" and "Place", the "Documents related to business" are group 1 with date "3/11" and place "Osaka" and date "3/12" and place is divided into group 2 with "Osaka" and group 3 with date "3/14" and location "Kanagawa".

A selection section 97C is provided for each group, and when a check is put in the selection section 97C, images of vouchers belonging to the corresponding group are selected. For example, if you want to settle only the expenses for a business trip to Osaka on March 12th, you can select group 2 where the date is "March 12th" and the place is "Osaka". The user selects the journal elements to be grouped into manageable units.

<Modification>
The configurations of the information processing apparatus, the program, and the information processing system described in the above embodiments are examples, and needless to say, the configurations may be changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.

In the example shown in FIG. 10, if there is a predetermined journal entry element for any one of working hours, planned work place, and past application, it was recognized as "documents related to work", Predetermined journal elements are not limited to this example and may be determined as appropriate. Predetermined journal entry elements do not need to be obtained from attendance information or history information.

For example, in the case of commuting expenses that are applied regularly, such as every week or every month, it may be recognized as "documents related to work." For example, the gasoline charge of 3,834 yen at gas station C in voucher R3 can be recognized as an expense (document related to work) if it is the same amount as the previous time. Also, for example, if the purchased product is stationery, etc., it may be recognized as a "business-related voucher."

Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which images of vouchers irrelevant to work are also displayed on the selection screen, but images of vouchers irrelevant to work may not be displayed on the selection screen. However, journalizing results cannot be corrected unless an image of a voucher unrelated to business is displayed. In the above-described embodiment, images of vouchers irrelevant to work are not selectable by not providing check boxes.
