  The account management system according to the embodiment provides a service platform for account management using a high-functional portable terminal such as a smartphone. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of two areas in customer consumption behavior. Account management system is low-frequency and high-frequency consumption by debit (area surrounded by frame 2 in FIG. 1), that is, capture of daily consumption, and medium and high-frequency and low-frequency consumption by saving and financing (encircled by frame 4 in FIG. 1) Area), that is, arousing extraordinary consumption through customer contacts called smartphones, providing a seamless service experience that supports lifestyles and life events. Regarding the capture of low-priced and high-frequency consumption, the account management system provides the user with the ability to visualize daily consumption and transfer surplus funds through monthly balance management. Regarding the promotion of medium-to-high-priced and low-frequency consumption, the account management system encourages non-daily consumption (large-scale consumption) by providing related information content, and supports the achievement of such consumption by purpose-specific deposits. The account management system also recommends products and services related to the purpose of purpose-specific deposits.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the following functions are provided by the account management system.
(1) Balance management based on account information (2) Guidance to surplus savings (3) Guidance from provision of information contents to setting of deposits by purpose (4) Management of deposits by purpose (5) Deposits by purpose Providing rewards / incentives for the company Therefore, it is not limited to short-term income and expenditure management, but it can also contribute to the long-term asset formation of users by guiding it to saving. In addition, managing savings by purpose can more effectively support large-scale consumption ahead of savings.

  FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the account management system 10 according to the embodiment. The account management system 10 includes a mobile terminal 12 such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal, a support server 16, and a billing server 18. The mobile terminal 12, the support server 16, and the billing server 18 are all connected to the network 14 such as the Internet and communicate via the network 14. There is no limit to the number of elements of the account management system 10.

  The account server 18 is a server included in an account system of a financial institution such as a bank. The account system executes account balance management, interest calculation, deposit / withdrawal and transfer, remittance processing, currency exchange transactions, fund settlement with other financial institutions, and the like. The accounting system may be configured using a known technique. The financial institution managing the accounting system (hereinafter simply referred to as a financial institution) and the support entity managing the support server 16 may be the same or different. In this embodiment, a case where they are different will be described.

  The user of the mobile terminal 12 downloads an account management application program (hereinafter referred to as a management application) 20 from the download site via the network 14 to the mobile terminal 12 (step S30) and installs it. Alternatively, the management application 20 may be preinstalled in the mobile terminal 12. The management application 20 is provided by a support subject. When the management application 20 is executed by the mobile terminal 12, the mobile terminal 12 communicates with the support server 16 via the network 14 to realize various functions. Hereinafter, a function realized by the mobile terminal 12 (a processing unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) thereof) executing the management application 20 will be described as a function of the mobile terminal 12. These functions are actually functions that the management application 20 causes the mobile terminal 12 to realize.

  The account server 18 holds information on the savings account 24 and information on the savings account 24 of the user of the mobile terminal 12. The savings account 22 and the savings account 24 are a savings account and a savings account opened by a user at a financial institution, respectively, and are managed by the financial institution. It can be said that the savings account is an account for savings and the savings account is an account for savings. The support server 16 acquires deposit / withdrawal data of the ordinary deposit account 22 from the account server 18 via the network 14 (step S32), performs balance calculation, and generates monthly balance data 26. The portable terminal 12 acquires the balance data 26 from the support server 16 via the network 14 (S34). When the result 28 of the balance calculation shown in the balance data 26, that is, the difference between income and expenditure is positive, the mobile terminal 12 prompts the user to save the amount corresponding to the difference. When the portable terminal 12 receives a saving instruction from the user, the portable terminal 12 notifies the saving amount designated to the support server 16. The support server 16 requests the account server 18 to transfer the notified saving amount of funds from the savings account 22 to the savings account 24 (step S36). The account server 18 executes transfer (or transfer) from the savings account 22 to the savings account 24.

  The support server 16 virtually sorts the balance of the user's savings account 24. Since the support server 16 sorts the balance for the purpose of depositing, the unit of sorting is specified by the purpose of depositing. The support server 16 has purpose-specific deposit data 29 for storing the deposit purpose and the amount allocated to the deposit purpose in association with each user. The savings account 24 of the account server 18 and the purpose-specific deposit data 29 of the support server 16 are linked, and the total amount of the purpose-specific deposit data 29 including the unset purpose and the balance of the savings account 24 match. To do. The user can set purpose-specific deposit data 29 via the mobile terminal 12 and the network 14. For example, a user who has viewed the information content provided by the support server 16 may set a new deposit purpose. In this case, a sorting unit corresponding to the set new deposit purpose is added to the purpose-specific deposit data 29. In the example of FIG. 2, it is assumed that the purpose-specific deposit data 29 originally includes a unit specified by the deposit purpose “travel” and a unit specified by “marriage”. When a user who is inspired by information content related to housing such as remodeling or tower apartment sales sets a new deposit purpose “house”, the support server 16 sorts the deposit data 29 by purpose specified by the new deposit purpose “house”. The unit 27 is added. Since the sorting unit is specified according to the purpose of deposit, in this specification, the sorting unit is referred to as deposit by purpose. In the present embodiment, no account number is given to purpose-specific deposits.

  In this way, the account management system 10 supports the accumulation of daily savings by connecting from balance management to surplus funds transfer, and is also performed by connecting information provision to setting of purpose-specific deposits. Guide the savings to medium and large consumption. Therefore, the user can receive seamless support in almost all phases from saving to consumption by using the account management system 10.

The operation of the account management system 10 having the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a series of processes in the mobile terminal 12 of FIG. FIGS. 10A to 10E are representative screen diagrams of screens displayed on the display 124 in various steps of a series of processes. Here, it is assumed that the user has already registered an account with the management application 20 and has also registered a savings account. That is, the case where the management application 20 is started in the state where the initial use registration and the account registration are completed will be described. Processing related to initial registration and account registration will be described later.

  When the user taps the icon of the management application 20 displayed on the display 124 of the mobile terminal 12, the mobile terminal 12 activates the management application 20 (S202). The mobile terminal 12 displays the application activation screen 640 (FIG. 10A) on the display 124. The application activation screen 640 includes an initial registration button 642 and a normal activation button 644. Since the user has already registered the management application 20 for the first time, the normal activation button 644 is tapped. When detecting a tap on the normal activation button 644, the mobile terminal 12 displays a login screen 240 (FIG. 10B) for authenticating the user on the display 124 (S204).

  The login screen 240 has an authentication information input area 250 for accepting input of authentication information including a user ID and password, and a login button 252. The user inputs his / her e-mail address and password in the authentication information input area 250 and taps the login button 252. When the login button 252 is tapped, the mobile terminal 12 transmits the authentication information input in the authentication information input area 250 to the support server 16 via the network 14.

  As described above, in the example illustrated in FIG. 9, the user ID / password is not held in the mobile terminal 12, and the user is requested to authenticate each time the user logs in. The timing for requesting the input of authentication information is set to the timing for restarting the module in the management application 20 (for example, an interval of about 24 hours), and the user ID / password input is requested again at the set timing. (That is, transition to the login screen 240 in response to the tap of the normal activation button 644). In addition, when the user explicitly stops and starts the management application 20 (for example, when the management application 20 is started after the mobile terminal 12 is turned off), the user ID / password must be input again. Is done. However, the user ID / password input need not be requested between the restart of the module in the management application 20 and the next restart.

  The user authentication unit 102 of the support server 16 performs user authentication based on the received authentication information. The user authentication unit 102 determines that the authentication is successful if the combination of the user ID and password included in the received authentication information is registered in the user information holding unit 116, and otherwise determines that the authentication is unsuccessful. The user authentication unit 102 transmits the result of user authentication to the mobile terminal 12 via the network 14.

  When the user authentication unit 102 determines that the authentication is successful, the account information acquisition unit 134 stores the deposit / withdrawal data for a predetermined period among the deposit / withdrawal data of the authenticated user's ordinary deposit account via the network 14. Obtain from the server 18. The predetermined period may be one month, three months, half a year, or one year. The account information acquisition unit 134 refers to the user information holding unit 116 and specifies the number of the savings account corresponding to the user ID of the authenticated user. The account information acquisition unit 134 generates a deposit / withdrawal data request signal including the specified ordinary deposit account number and information designating a predetermined period, and transmits it to the account server 18 via the network 14. The billing server 18 cuts out the deposit / withdrawal data of the ordinary deposit account specified by the number included in the received deposit / withdrawal data request signal for a specified predetermined period and transmits it to the support server 16 via the network 14. The account information acquisition unit 134 receives deposit / withdrawal data for a predetermined period.

  The balance calculation unit 136 performs a monthly balance calculation on the deposit / withdrawal data for a predetermined period acquired by the account information acquisition unit 134. The balance calculation unit 136 extracts the closing date corresponding to the user ID of the authenticated user from the user information holding unit 116. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the period from today to the next day of the most recent closing date is referred to as this month, and the period from the most recent closing date to the next closing date is referred to as the last month. The balance calculation unit 136 extracts the deposit / withdrawal data generated during the current month and the deposit / withdrawal data generated during the previous month as the current month deposit / withdrawal data and the last month deposit / withdrawal data from the deposit / withdrawal data for a predetermined period. For example, it is assumed that the current date is September 16, the closing date is 25th of every month, and the deposit / withdrawal data for three months (July 16 to September 16) is acquired by the account information acquisition unit 134. The balance calculation unit 136 acquires the deposit / withdrawal data generated during the calculation period (this month) from August 26 to September 16 as this month deposit / withdrawal data. The balance calculation unit 136 acquires the deposit / withdrawal data generated during the calculation period from July 26 to August 25 as the last month deposit / withdrawal data.

  The balance calculation unit 136 divides this month's deposit / withdrawal data into income and expenditure, and further creates this month's deposit / withdrawal detailed data classified for each income / expenditure item. The balance calculation unit 136 adds the current month's income to obtain the current month's total income, and adds the current month's expenditure to obtain the current month's total expenditure. The balance calculation unit 136 acquires the difference between the total revenue for this month and the total expenditure for this month as a result of the current balance. This month's deposit / withdrawal data, this month's total revenue, this month's total expenditure, and this month's income and expenditure results constitute this month's balance data 26. The balance calculation unit 136 performs the same calculation for the last month deposit / withdrawal data, and generates balance data for the previous month.

  The balance calculation unit 136 may perform the same calculation for the deposit / withdrawal data before the previous month. The balance calculation unit 136 may perform calculation in units of other calculation periods such as a week unit or a quarter unit instead of a month unit. The unit and the length of the predetermined period in the account information acquisition unit 134 may correspond to each other.

  The balance information transmission unit 138 transmits the balance data of the last month and this month generated by the balance calculation unit 136 to the mobile terminal 12 via the network 14. The mobile terminal 12 receives the balance data following the result of the user authentication.

  If the received user authentication result is an authentication failure (N in S206), the portable terminal 12 returns the process to step S204. If the received user authentication result is a successful authentication (Y in S206), the mobile terminal 12 displays the home screen 242 (FIG. 10C) on the display 124 (S208).

  The home screen 242 includes a menu button 241, a balance result display area 254, a point display area 256, a profit information area 258, a my coupon area 260, a content guidance area 262, a home button 264, and a clip button 266. And a savings button 268 and a wallet button 270. In the balance result display area 254, the balance calculation result included in the balance data of this month received by the mobile terminal 12 is displayed. In particular, in the balance result display area 254, the number of the authenticated user's savings account, the balance of the account, the total revenue for the current month, the total expenditure for the current month, and the current balance result are displayed. In the point display area 256, points currently given to the user are displayed. This point may be granted and managed by a support subject, or may be given and managed by a financial institution. When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the profit information area 258, the mobile terminal 12 displays a profit information display screen (not shown) for displaying a limited time coupon or the like on the display 124. The user's tap with respect to the profit information area 258 is an aspect of an instruction to display the profit information by the user. When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the home button 264, the mobile terminal 12 displays the home screen 242 on the display 124. The my coupon area 260, the content guidance area 262, the clip button 266, the savings button 268, and the wallet button 270 will be described later.

  The portable terminal 12 determines whether or not a tightening process is necessary in accordance with the display of the home screen 242 (S210). The mobile terminal 12 determines that the tightening process is necessary when the management application 20 is activated for the first time after the closing date arrives, and otherwise determines that the tightening process is unnecessary. That is, it is determined that the tightening process is unnecessary until the next closing date comes after the second activation after the closing date arrives. This is managed by a status flag or the like held in the memory 121 of the mobile terminal 12. When it is determined that the tightening process is unnecessary (N in S210), the mobile terminal 12 ends the process.

  When it is determined that the tightening process is necessary (Y in S210), the mobile terminal 12 displays the balance result screen 244 (FIG. 10D) on the display 124 (S212). The balance result screen 244 may be displayed on the display 124 by, for example, a push notification even when the management application 20 is not activated. The balance result screen 244 displays the balance of last month based on the balance data of the last month received by the mobile terminal 12. In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which last month's total income exceeds last month's total expenditure, and thus the last month's income and expenditure result is positive.

  The balance result screen 244 enables confirmation of the balance of last month, and guides the transfer of an amount of funds to the savings account based on the result. The portable terminal 12 displays the balance result screen 244 to display whether or not to move the amount of funds based on the result of the last month included in the last month's balance data between the savings account and the savings account. Ask the user above. The balance result screen 244 includes a difference display area 272, a setting slider 274, a deposit button 276, a no deposit button 278, and a button 277 later. In the difference display area 272, the last month balance result included in the last month balance data is displayed. The setting slider 274 accepts designation of the amount of funds to be transferred from the savings account to the savings account, that is, the transfer amount (hereinafter referred to as transfer amount). By operating the setting slider 274, the user can visually designate the transfer amount in the range from 0 yen to the maximum amount. The maximum amount is set on the basis of the last month balance result, and may be the last month balance result itself, or may be a rounded amount smaller than the last month balance result. Therefore, such display of the setting slider 274 corresponds to inquiring the user as to how much money is to be transferred within the range of the last month's income and expenditure result.

  The button 276 for depositing and the button 278 for not depositing are buttons for inquiring the user whether or not to execute the transfer. The button 277 is a button for postponing the determination of whether or not to deposit. When the button 277 is tapped later, the mobile terminal 12 displays the home screen 242 on the display 124. The portable terminal 12 prompts the user to make a determination by notifying whether or not to transfer surplus funds again after a certain period of time. In this re-notification, a screen similar to the balance result screen 244 is displayed.

  When the deposit button 276 is tapped, the mobile terminal 12 receives an instruction from the user to execute the transfer. When the button 278 not to deposit is tapped, the mobile terminal 12 receives an instruction not to execute. More specifically, when the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the button 278 that does not deposit (N in S214), the process ends. When the portable terminal 12 detects a tap on the deposit button 276 (Y in S214), a transfer instruction signal including the transfer amount set by the setting slider 274 on the balance result screen 244 is sent to the support server 16 via the network 14. Send.

  The account-related cooperation unit 140 requests the account-related server 18 to transfer the money of the transfer amount included in the received transfer instruction signal from the user's savings account to the savings account. The billing system cooperation unit 140 transmits a response signal to the reception of the transfer instruction signal to the mobile terminal 12 via the network 14.

  Further, in the account management system 10 according to the present embodiment, a coupon corresponding to the purpose of deposit is displayed on the purpose-specific coupon screen 478. Thereby, while being able to provide a profit to a user, the conversion from the deposit according to purpose to consumption can be promoted.

  Further, in the account management system 10 according to the present embodiment, the balance calculation is performed based on the deposit / withdrawal data of the ordinary deposit account. The balance result calculated in this way corresponds to the actual increase in the balance of the savings account. Therefore, when a transfer instruction is received from the user, it is possible to reduce the probability that a situation occurs in which the balance of the ordinary savings account as the transfer source is less than the transfer amount. In addition, if the balance result is positive, that is, as compared with the case of accumulating without inquiring the user, the present embodiment provides an option (non-deposit button 278) that does not transfer, so the user's situation and desire This makes it possible to form deposits according to purpose in the form of

  The configuration and operation of the account management system 10 according to the embodiment has been described above. This embodiment is an exemplification, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to each component and combination of processes, and such modifications are within the scope of the present invention.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an application having the same function as the management application 20 is installed in a stationary terminal such as a desktop PC. May be. In the embodiment, the case where the management application 20 is an installation-type application installed on the mobile terminal 12 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the management application 20 is connected to the mobile terminal or a stationary terminal via the Internet. It may be realized as a Web application used in the Internet.

  In the embodiment, a case has been described in which funds are transferred between a savings account and a savings account, and the balance of the savings account is sorted for the purpose of depositing, but is not limited thereto. For example, a checking account may be used instead of a savings account, and a time deposit account may be used instead of a savings account. More generally, the account server manages the first account of the user and the second account of the user that has a lower degree of freedom of withdrawal than the first account. The support server acquires the balance of the second account from the account server and virtually sorts the acquired balance for deposit purposes. Thereby, the probability that the balance of the second account will decrease for reasons other than the use of purpose-specific deposits can be reduced. If a purpose-specific deposit is set in the first account, the balance of the first account can be easily reduced regardless of the purpose-specific deposit by debit settlement, withdrawal or withdrawal, etc. And often do not fit. Each time it is necessary to reset the balance by purpose, which is troublesome. Therefore, by setting a purpose-specific deposit in the second account, it is possible to suppress such trouble and improve user convenience.

  In addition, when the financial institution managing the account server and the support entity are allowed to be different, for example, an information providing company that is not so much related to finance can be a support entity. Therefore, it is possible to provide users with a wider and more flexible service that is not limited by the financial framework.

  In the present embodiment, the case has been described in which last month's total revenue exceeds last month's total expenditure, but is not limited thereto. For example, when the opposite is true, that is, when the total expenditure of last month exceeds the total revenue of last month, the mobile terminal 12 transfers at least part of the result of last month's income and expenditure, which is the difference between the total expenditure of last month and the total revenue of last month, from the savings account to the savings account You may inquire whether to move. That is, the work of compensating the deficit from the savings account may be realized with one tap on the balance result screen. In that case, the setting slider accepts a compensation amount setting. Further, the balance result screen may be displayed on the display 124 in a different manner depending on whether the last month balance result is positive or negative. For example, if the last month total revenue exceeds the last month total expenditure, the background of the balance result screen may be blue, and if the last month total expenditure exceeds the last month total revenue, the background of the balance result screen may be red. Thereby, the visibility of the balance result increases.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the unit of sorting is a deposit by purpose, that is, a virtual unit and no account number is given, is not limited to this, and the unit of sorting is an account such as a so-called virtual account or an actual account. A number may be given.

  In this embodiment, as part of the income and expenditure management, the support server runs out of balance when the planned expenditure based on expenditures scheduled to occur by the next closing date or expenditures derived from the expenditure history is larger than the current balance. May be notified to the user by a push notification or the like. In this case, user waste can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, when a purpose-specific deposit corresponding to the group information display area has already been set, the mobile terminal displays information on purpose-specific deposits such as a balance by purpose instead of a button that can be realized in the group information display area. An area may be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the purpose-specific deposit creation screen may include an area for displaying a scheduled achievement date calculated backward from the target amount and the monthly saving amount.

  In the present embodiment, when the deposit button 276 on the balance result screen 244 is tapped, an instruction for transferring funds of the transfer amount set by the setting slider 274 from the savings account to the savings account is given from the mobile terminal 12. It is transmitted to the support server 16. The funds transferred in accordance with the instruction first reflect the deposit purpose displayed in the unset balance display area 460 of the purpose-specific deposit top screen 290 in the balance not set. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the balance result screen may be configured so that the user can specify how funds to be transferred are allocated to purpose-specific deposits.

  The user can designate the transfer amount by sliding the first object 512 with respect to the slider bar 520. By sliding the second object 514 and the third object 516, the user can freely set the amount allocated to each purpose-specific deposit. The first segment 522 from the left end of the slider bar 520 to the third object 516 corresponds to the purpose-specific deposit specified by the deposit purpose “travel”. The second segment 524 from the third object 516 to the second object 514 corresponds to the purpose-specific deposit specified by the deposit purpose “marriage”. A third segment 526 from the second object 514 to the first object 512 corresponds to the purpose-specific deposit specified by the deposit purpose “house”. In order to visually indicate the correspondence between the segments and the deposit purposes, the distribution setting area 506 includes a deposit purpose display area 530 that displays the deposit purposes corresponding to each segment in association with the segment. The fourth segment 528 from the first object 512 to the right end of the slider bar 520 corresponds to the amount that cannot be transferred in the last month balance result displayed in the difference display area 504.

  The distribution setting area 506 visually displays the total transfer amount and the amount allocated to each purpose deposit. In particular, the ratio of the length of the portion other than the fourth segment 528 to the total length of the slider bar 520 represents the ratio of the total transfer amount to the last month's balance result. The ratio of the length of the first segment 522, the length of the second segment 524, and the length of the third segment 526 represents the ratio of the amount allocated to the deposits by purpose of “travel”, “marriage”, and “house”. . FIG. 16B shows an allocation setting area in the case where the amount allocated to each purpose deposit is indicated by a numerical value. FIG. 16C shows another display mode of the amount allocated to the purpose-specific deposits. When the user taps a desired deposit purpose, the mobile terminal 12 displays, in a pop-up 532, the amount allocated to the purpose-specific deposit specified for the deposit purpose for which the tap is detected.

  Before displaying the balance result screen 502 on the display 124, the mobile terminal 12 acquires information on purpose-specific deposits held in the purpose-specific deposit information holding unit 130 from the support server 16 via the network 14. The mobile terminal 12 sets the display mode of the distribution setting area 506 based on the purpose of deposit and the monthly saving amount included in the acquired information. If there are three deposit purposes, the mobile terminal 12 arranges three objects on the slider bar 520, and divides the slider bar 520 into four segments including those corresponding to the amounts not to be transferred. At that time, the default length of each segment is set according to the ratio of monthly savings. Alternatively, a default distribution ratio may be separately registered in advance by the user, and the length of the default segment may be set according to the registered ratio.

  When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the deposit button 508, the mobile terminal 12 generates a transfer request signal including distribution information for specifying the distribution set in the distribution setting area 506 and the total transfer amount, and supports it via the network 14. Send to server 16. The support server 16 transmits a request to the account server 18 for transferring funds of the entire transfer amount from the user's savings account to the savings account. At the same time, the support server 16 sorts the transfer amount according to the amount allocated to each deposit purpose specified by the distribution information. In particular, the support server 16 performs processing for adding the amount specified by the distribution information included in the transfer request signal to the balance by purpose of each purpose-specific deposit.

  According to this modification, not only can seamless connection from the balance result display to the transfer but also the transfer amount can be distributed on the spot. Therefore, the user does not need to open the deposit top screen 290 for each purpose after the transfer and perform separate distribution, so that user convenience is improved. In addition, since the purpose of deposit can be reminded to the user at the balance result display stage, continuation of saving activities can be promoted.

  In the embodiment, the mobile terminal 12 may execute the target achievement process when the target amount of the purpose-specific deposit is achieved. The goal achievement process is a process of displaying an achievement notification screen 602 for notifying the user of the achievement of the goal on the display 124 and a process of prompting the user to transfer the achieved target amount of funds from the savings account to the savings account. And including.

  FIGS. 17A to 17D are representative screen diagrams of screens displayed on the display in the goal achievement processing. FIG. 17A is a representative screen diagram of the achievement notification screen 602. The achievement notification screen 602 includes a text 606 and a visual effect 608 indicating that the target amount has been achieved, a coupon confirmation button 604 that prompts confirmation of the coupon, and an erase button 610. When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the purpose-specific deposit in which the target amount has been achieved among the plurality of purpose-specific deposits displayed in the purpose list display area 462 (FIG. 15A), the tapped purpose-specific deposit An achievement notification screen 602 corresponding to is displayed on the display 124. Alternatively, the mobile terminal 12 may display the achievement notification screen 602 on the display 124 at the timing when the target amount is achieved. When the portable terminal 12 detects a tap on the coupon confirmation button 604, the portable terminal 12 causes the display 124 to display a coupon screen having the same configuration as the purpose-specific coupon screen 478. Thus, the utilization rate of the coupon can be increased by encouraging the user who has achieved the target amount to use the coupon related to the target in accordance with the achievement of the target.

  When the portable terminal 12 detects a tap on the delete button 610, the portable terminal 12 displays an accomplished deposit detail screen 612 (FIG. 17B) having the same configuration as the purpose-specific deposit detail screen 464 on the display 124. The main difference between the achieved deposit details screen 612 and the purpose-specific deposit details screen 464 is that the achieved deposit details screen 612 prompts the user to transfer the achieved amount of funds from the savings account to the savings account. This is a point having a transfer button 614. That is, when the balance of the purpose-specific deposit reaches the target amount, the mobile terminal 12 starts displaying the transfer button on the corresponding purpose-specific deposit detail screen. When the portable terminal 12 detects a tap on the transfer button 614, the mobile terminal 12 displays the transfer processing screen 616 (FIG. 17C) on the display 124. The transfer process screen 616 includes a transfer source information display area 618, a transfer destination information display area 620, a transfer amount setting area 622, a transfer execution button 624, a numerical value input button 626, and a cancel button 628.

When the transfer process is completed, the mobile terminal 12 displays a transfer completion screen 630 (FIG. 17D) on the display 124. The transfer completion screen 630 displays a text indicating that the transfer has been completed and the amount transferred.

  In this way, by providing a lead from the deposit details screen for each purpose for which the target amount has been achieved to the screen for performing the transfer process, it is possible to reduce the amount of time required for the user to transfer funds from the savings account to the savings account. Can do. Usually, the use of funds from a savings account is limited, so even if a user achieves a target amount for a certain purpose, the user often cannot use the funds without first transferring the amount to a savings account. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the transfer button 614 can display the transfer process screen 616 with one tap from the achievement of the target, so that it is possible to reduce the time and effort required for such transfer and improve user convenience.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the setting slider 274 and the transfer amount setting area 622 provide an interface that allows the amount to be transferred to be specified roughly quickly and intuitively. When inputting the amount to be transferred using the numerical value input button 626 or the like, it is possible to specify a minute and accurate fraction, but the input operation becomes complicated, and it may take time until the input is completed particularly in a portable terminal unsuitable for numerical value input. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, since it can be visually set with a slider, it is possible to quickly complete input in a scene where it is sufficient to roughly set the forehead.

The user inputs a desired password in the password input / confirmation area 684 and inputs the same password for confirmation. When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the start button 686, the mobile terminal 12 generates an initial registration request including the initial registration user information input in the user information input area 682 and the initial registration password input in the password input / confirmation area 684, The data is transmitted to the support server 16 via the network 14. The user authentication unit 102 of the support server 16 registers the information included in the received initial registration request in the user information holding unit 116 as new user information. When the registration is completed, the user authentication unit 102 transmits a registration completion notification to the mobile terminal 12 via the network 14. When the mobile terminal 12 receives the registration completion notification, the mobile terminal 12 displays the home screen 242 on the display 124.

  In FIG. 9 of the embodiment, the case where the user account has been registered has been described. An account registration process in the management application 20 will be described. 19A and 19B are representative screen diagrams of screens displayed on the display 124 in the account registration process. FIG. 19A is a representative screen diagram of a home screen 690 displayed for a user who has not registered an account. The difference between the home screen 690 in FIG. 19A and the home screen 242 in FIG. 10C is that the account registration notification area 692 is displayed instead of the latter balance result display area 254 in the former. When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the account registration notification area 692, the mobile terminal 12 displays an account registration screen 694 (FIG. 19B) on the display 124. The account registration screen 694 includes an account information input area 696 that receives input of account authentication information used for authentication in the account server 18 and a registration button 698.

  In the account information input area 696, the user inputs authentication information such as information on his / her own savings account that has already been opened and its personal identification number. When the portable terminal 12 detects a tap on the registration button 698, the portable terminal 12 generates an account registration request including the account authentication information input in the account information input area 696 and transmits the request to the support server 16 via the network 14. The account system linkage unit 140 of the support server 16 starts authentication related to the account system based on the received account authentication information. The accounting system linkage unit 140 may transmit the received account authentication information to the accounting system server 18 as it is, and the accounting system server 18 may perform authentication. Alternatively, the billing system linkage unit 140 may perform authentication instead of the billing system server 18. If the authentication result is an authentication failure, the billing system cooperation unit 140 notifies the mobile terminal 12 of that fact via the network 14. The portable terminal 12 performs the authentication failure process such as displaying the account registration screen 694 on the display 124 again. When the authentication result is a successful authentication, the account system linkage unit 140 registers the information on the ordinary deposit account related to the successful authentication in the user information holding unit 116 in association with the user ID. When the registration is completed, the billing system linkage unit 140 transmits a registration completion notification to the mobile terminal 12 via the network 14. When the mobile terminal 12 receives the registration completion notification, the mobile terminal 12 displays the home screen 242 on the display 124.

  After the initial account registration through the account registration screen 694, authentication for using the financial functions related to the savings button 268 and the wallet button 270 is not required. In other words, after logging in to the management application 20, the financial system function can be used without the account authentication. However, after a predetermined period (one month, six months, one year, etc.) has passed, or when an irregular event such as a change in the mobile terminal 12 occurs, a billing system for using financial functions The authentication may be performed again.

  In the embodiment, the case where the user is requested to input authentication information through the login screen 240 and the user authentication is performed in the support server 16 using the input authentication information has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, user authentication may be performed using a passcode or fingerprint authentication function provided by the operating system of the mobile terminal 12.

  20A to 20C are representative screen diagrams of screens displayed on the display in the authentication process. When a tap on the menu button 241 on the home screen 242 shown in FIG. 10C is detected, the mobile terminal 12 causes the display 124 to display a menu list (not shown) including “setting”. When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap for “setting”, the mobile terminal 12 displays a setting screen 650 (FIG. 20A) on the display 124. The setting screen 650 includes an account setting area 652, a passcode setting area 654, a notification setting area 656, and a balance management setting area 658.

  When the mobile terminal 12 detects a tap on the passcode setting area 654, the mobile terminal 12 displays a passcode setting screen 660 (FIG. 20B) on the display 124. The passcode setting screen 660 includes a passcode availability setting area 662, a passcode change area 664, and a fingerprint authentication availability setting area 666. The passcode availability setting area 662 has a toggle switch, and accepts a passcode availability setting by operating the switch. Use of the passcode is activated when the toggle switch is turned on, and deactivated when the toggle switch is turned off. When the passcode change area 664 is tapped, a screen (not shown) for changing the passcode is displayed on the display 124. The fingerprint authentication use availability setting area 666 has a toggle switch, and accepts the setting of availability of fingerprint authentication by operating the switch. The use of fingerprint authentication is activated when the toggle switch is turned on, and deactivated when the toggle switch is turned off.

  When the use of a passcode is activated in the passcode availability setting area 662 and the use of fingerprint authentication is activated in the fingerprint authentication availability setting area 666, the login screen 240 is displayed when the management application 20 is activated next time. Instead, a passcode / fingerprint authentication screen 670 (FIG. 20C) is displayed on the display 124. On the passcode / fingerprint authentication screen 670, the mobile terminal 12 performs user authentication using a preset passcode and / or fingerprint authentication. In the example of FIG. 20C, first, fingerprint authentication is performed, and if it is passed, input of a pass code (for example, a 4-digit number) is requested. Note that passcode authentication and fingerprint authentication may always be performed at the timing when the screen of the management application 20 is displayed on the display 124. The portable terminal 12 activates key information for managing the login state by this passcode / fingerprint authentication, and performs authentication. Since the key information for managing the login state has an expiration date, when the expiration date expires and the key information expires, the user is required to input a user ID / password.
