Then, the process proceeds to step S20, and the information processing device 10 performs output processing of the determination processing result as described later.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart of an example of the business/private determination process in step S18. The mileage determining unit 42 counts the number of working days in a predetermined period (for example, one month) of the employee subject to the work/private determination process from the employee's attendance data acquired in step S14 in step S30.

Proceeding to step S32, the mileage determination unit 42 obtains the working days and working hours for the employee who is the subject of the business/personal use determination process during the specified period from the employee attendance data obtained in step S14.

Proceeding to step S34, the mileage determination unit 42 determines at least one of the engine start time and the engine end time during the working days and working hours in the predetermined period of the employee who is the object of the business/private determination process acquired in step S32. The mileage data of the usage record data that includes is calculated from FIG. 8 as the mileage for business use.

Figure 8 is a configuration diagram of an example of mileage data for a specified period of time for a company car that is the subject of business/personal use discrimination processing. The mileage data for a specified period shown in Figure 8 is an example of historical usage data for a company car 12. The mileage data for a specified period in Figure 8 has the following items: vehicle number, employee ID, date, engine start time, engine stop time, and mileage of the historical usage data.

The vehicle number is an example of information for identifying the company car 12. The year, month, and day represent an example of a predetermined period. The engine start time represents the time when the engine of the company car 12 was started. The engine end time represents the time when the engine of the company car 12 stopped. The mileage of the usage record data represents the mileage of the company car 12 used by the employee for business and private purposes during a predetermined period from the engine start time to the engine end time.

The mileage determination unit 42 selects usage data that includes at least one of an engine start time and an engine end time from the mileage data for a predetermined period of the company car that is subject to the business/private use discrimination process shown in FIG. By subtracting the mileage in the actual data and the commuting distance for the number of working days, the remaining mileage can be determined as the mileage for personal use by the employee.

Proceeding to step S36, the mileage determination unit 42 calculates the commuting distance for the number of working days based on the number of working days counted in step S30 and the commuting distance in FIG. 5(A). The mileage determination unit 42 determines the mileage for personal use based on the mileage data for a specified period of the company car 12 that is the subject of the business/personal use determination process, for example as shown in FIG. 8, acquired in step S16, the mileage for business use calculated in step S34, and the commuting distance for the calculated number of working days.

For example, the mileage determination unit 42 can subtract the mileage in the usage history data that includes at least one of the engine start time and engine stop time during working hours from the mileage data for a specified period of time for a company vehicle that is the subject of the business/personal use determination process in Figure 8, and the commuting distance for the number of working days, and determine the remaining mileage as the mileage for personal use by the employee.

Figures 9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating an example of the outline of the business/personal use discrimination process of the mileage discrimination unit. Figures 9(a) to 9(d) show data from Monday to Thursday. Figures 10(e) to 10(g) show data from Friday to Sunday.

In FIGS. 9 and 10, the mileage A for business use represents the mileage for business use calculated from attendance data, engine start time, and engine end time. Mileage B for business use represents commuting distance. Therefore, the mileage for personal use can be determined by subtracting the mileage A and B for business use from the daily mileage.

For example, FIGS. 9(a), 9(b), and 10(e) are data examples in the case of no private use and only business use. FIG. 9(d) is an example of data when private use and business use are included. 9(c), FIG. 10(f), and FIG. 10(g) are data examples when there is no business use and only private use.

Figures 9(a), 9(b), and 10(e) are examples of data for cases where there is no personal use and only business use, so the daily mileage is determined to be either business mileage A or B.

Figure 9(d) is an example of data when personal use and business use are included, so the daily mileage is other than mileage A and B for business use and mileage A and B for business use. Distance traveled for private use.

Figures 9(c), 10(f), and 10(g) are data examples for cases where there is no business use and only personal use, so all of the daily mileage is for personal use. It is determined as the distance traveled.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of an example of the output processing of the determination processing result in step S20. The mileage determining unit 42 of the information processing device 10 proceeds to step S40, and determines whether the setting is to display the cost burden for private use on the screen of the result of the business use/private use determination process. For example, an administrator or the like may set to display the cost burden for private use on the screen showing the result of the business use/private use discrimination process.

If the manager, etc., requires the expense of personal use of the company car 12 to be covered, he/she can set it to display the expense amount for personal use on the screen showing the results of the business/personal use discrimination process, and if the manager, etc., does not require the expense of personal use to be covered, he/she can set it to not display the expense amount for personal use on the screen showing the results of the business/personal use discrimination process.

If it is determined that the setting is to display the cost burden for personal use on the screen showing the results of the business use/personal use discrimination process, the mileage discrimination unit 42 requests the cost calculation unit 44 to calculate the cost burden for personal use by the employee.

In step S42, the cost calculation unit 44 calculates the cost burden for the employee's personal use based on the mileage determined in step S18 and the fuel data in FIG. 5(B) using the following formula (1).

Cost of personal use = mileage for personal use ÷ fuel consumption × unit price… (1)
Proceeding to step S44, the server-side transmission unit 50 of the information processing device 10 generates screen data of the business use/personal use discrimination processing result, for example, as shown in Fig. 12, which displays the cost burden amount for personal use. Fig. 12 is an example screen image displaying the business use/personal use discrimination processing result.

The screen image in Figure 12 shows the vehicle number of the company car 12 that is subject to the business/private identification process, the employee ID of the employee who used the company car 12 for business and personal use, and the company car 12 for business/private use. The year and month representing the predetermined period subject to discrimination processing, the mileage for business use, the mileage for commuting, the mileage for personal use, and the amount of expenses for personal use during that predetermined period are displayed as information. .

If it is determined that the screen showing the results of the business/personal use discrimination process is not set to display the cost burden for personal use, the mileage discrimination unit 42 does not request the cost calculation unit 44 to calculate the cost burden for personal use by the employee, and proceeds to step S46.

In step S46, the server-side transmission unit 50 of the information processing device 10 generates screen data of the results of the business use/personal use discrimination process, for example, as shown in FIG. 13, in which the cost burden amount for personal use is not displayed. FIG. 13 is an example screen image displaying the results of the business use/personal use discrimination process.

The screen image in Figure 13 displays the following information: the vehicle number of the company car 12 that is the subject of the business/personal use discrimination process, the employee ID of the employee who used the company car 12 for business and personal use, the year and month representing the specified period that is the subject of the business/personal use discrimination process, and the mileage for business use, mileage for commuting, and mileage for personal use during that specified period.

Proceeding from step S44 or S46 to step S48, the server-side transmission unit 50 transmits the generated screen data to the user terminal 14 or 16, and the screen of the business use/private use discrimination processing result shown in FIG. 12 or 13 is displayed on the user terminal 14 or 16.

As described above, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when allowing private use of the company car 12 lent to an employee, the mileage for business use and the personal use can be calculated without increasing the effort of the employee. It is possible to determine the distance traveled for use and use. Therefore, a company that has lent a company car 12 to an employee can require the employee to pay for the determined mileage for personal use.

Furthermore, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, since attendance data is used in the process of determining business use/private use, there is a secondary effect that employees are able to accurately register their attendance data. You can also expect some effects.

Second Embodiment
In the second embodiment, as shown in Fig. 14, for example, the driving distance data for a predetermined period of the company car 12 that is the subject of the business/personal use discrimination process, the engine start time, the engine start location, the engine stop time, and the engine stop location are used as the usage history data of the company car 12. The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for some parts. Therefore, the same parts as the first embodiment will not be described as appropriate.

Figure 14 is a diagram showing an example of mileage data for a specified period of time for a company car that is the subject of business/personal use discrimination processing. The mileage data for a specified period shown in Figure 14 is an example of usage history data for a company car 12. The mileage data for a specified period of time in Figure 14 is configured by adding the engine start location and engine stop location as items to the mileage data for a specified period of time in Figure 8.

The engine start location indicates the location where the engine of the company car 12 was started. The engine stop location indicates the location where the engine of the company car 12 was stopped. Therefore, the mileage in the usage history data in Figure 14 indicates the mileage of the company car 12 while the employee was driving from the engine start location to the engine stop location.

The mileage determination unit 42 determines whether the company car is for personal use or not, based on the mileage data for a predetermined period of time of the company car that is subject to the business/private discrimination process shown in FIG. You can determine the distance traveled.

In the second embodiment, the flowchart of the business/personal use discrimination process shown in FIG. 7 becomes the flowchart of the business/personal use discrimination process shown in FIG. 15. FIG. 15 is a flowchart of an example of the business/personal use discrimination process in step S18.

In step S120, the mileage determining unit 42 counts the number of working days in a predetermined period (for example, one month) of the employee who is the target of the business/private determination process, based on the employee's attendance data acquired in step S14.

Proceeding to step S122, the mileage determining unit 42 acquires the working days and working hours in a predetermined period of the employee who is the target of the business/private determination process from the employee's attendance data acquired in step S14.

Proceeding to step S124, the mileage determination unit 42 calculates, from FIG. 14, the mileage data of the usage history data that includes at least one of the engine start time and the engine stop time during the working days and working hours in the specified period of the employee who is the subject of the business/personal use determination process acquired in step S122, as a candidate for the mileage for business use.

Proceeding to step S126, the mileage determining unit 42 deletes the mileage for personal use from the candidate mileage for business use calculated in step S124, taking into consideration the engine start location and engine end location. For example, if the engine start location or engine termination location is a location unrelated to business use, such as a convenience store, the mileage candidates for that business use are deleted.

Proceeding to step S128, the mileage determination unit 42 calculates the commuting distance for the number of working days based on the number of working days counted in step S120 and the commuting distance in FIG. 5(A). The mileage determination unit 42 determines the mileage for personal use based on the mileage data for a specified period of the company car 12 that is the subject of the business/personal use discrimination process, for example as shown in FIG. 14, acquired in step S16, the mileage for business use that was not deleted from the candidates for the mileage for business use in step S126, and the commuting distance for the calculated number of working days.

For example, the mileage determination unit 42 determines, from the mileage data for a predetermined period of the company car that is subject to the business/private use discrimination process in FIG. By subtracting the mileage for business use and the commuting distance for the number of working days, the remaining mileage can be determined as the mileage for personal use by the employee.

In the second embodiment, the server-side transmission unit 50 of the information processing device 10 may generate screen data of the results of the business use/personal use discrimination process, for example, as shown in FIG. 16. FIG. 16 is an example screen image displaying the results of the business use/personal use discrimination process. The screen 1000 in FIG. 16 displays information on "monthly mileage and fuel cost summary" using the results of the business use/personal use discrimination process.

The "Monthly Mileage & Fuel Cost Summary" information in FIG. 16 is an example of monthly mileage and the fuel cost equivalent of the monthly mileage, divided into total mileage, business use, commuting use, and personal use. The total mileage represents the monthly mileage data of the company car 12 that is the subject of the business/personal use discrimination process obtained in step S16 described above.

Therefore, an employee can display screen 1000 of FIG. 16 on the user terminal 14 to easily check the monthly mileage of the company car 12 for personal use and the fuel cost equivalent of that monthly mileage. In addition, an employee who wants to check the details of the business/personal use discrimination processing result may, for example, press the "Display details of business/personal use discrimination processing result" button 1002 on screen 1000, which allows the driving detail data as shown in FIG. 17 and attendance data as shown in FIG. 18 to be displayed on the screen.

FIG. 17 is a configuration diagram of an example of travel detail data. FIG. 18 is a configuration diagram of an example of attendance data. The travel detail data in FIG. 17 includes telematics data and determination processing results for each unit from engine start time to engine end time. For example, the employee can refer to the trip detail data shown in FIG. 17 and the attendance data shown in FIG. 18 to check whether the distinction between business use and personal use is correct.

Further, the screen 1000 may be provided with a mechanism for an employee to approve or modify the results of the business use/private use discrimination process. The screen 1000 in FIG. 16 is an example, and may be a screen that omits, for example, the monthly mileage for business use and commuting use, and the fuel cost conversion of the monthly mileage. In addition, when an administrator displays screen 1000, the information on "Monthly mileage & fuel cost summary" for multiple employees managed by the administrator may be displayed individually or in aggregate. good.

As described above, according to the information processing system 1 according to the present embodiment, when allowing private use of the company car 12 lent to an employee, the mileage for business use and the personal use can be calculated without increasing the effort of the employee. It is possible to determine the distance traveled for business and use with higher accuracy than in the first embodiment. Therefore, a company that has lent a company car 12 to an employee can fairly ask the employee to pay for the determined mileage for personal use.

[Third embodiment]
In the first embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8, mileage data for a predetermined period of a company car 12 that is the subject of business/personal use discrimination processing, the engine start time, and the engine stop time are used as the usage history data of the company car 12. In the third embodiment, as shown in Fig. 19, for example, mileage data for a predetermined period of a company car 12 that is the subject of business/personal use discrimination processing is used as the usage history data of the company car 12. Note that the third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment with some exceptions. Therefore, the same parts as the first embodiment will not be described as appropriate.

FIG. 19 is a configuration diagram of an example of mileage data for a predetermined period of a company car that is subject to business/private use discrimination processing. The mileage data for a predetermined period shown in FIG. 19 is an example of usage record data of the company car 12. The mileage data for a predetermined period in FIG. 19 has items such as vehicle number, employee ID, year and month, and mileage of usage record data. The year and month represent an example of a predetermined period. The mileage of the usage record data represents the mileage of the company car 12 that the employee used for business and private purposes during a predetermined period.

The mileage determination unit 42 subtracts the mileage for business use for the number of working days and the commuting distance for the number of working days from the mileage in the usage history data in FIG. 19, and can determine the remaining mileage as the mileage for personal use by the employee. In the third embodiment, the pre-registered data includes an employee ID, a commuting distance, and a business use standard mileage as data related to mileage. The business use standard mileage represents the standard mileage per day that an employee identified by an employee ID drives the company car 12 for business purposes. The business use standard mileage may be, for example, the average mileage of past business use by an employee identified by an employee ID, or may be calculated from, for example, the distance to a business destination of an employee identified by an employee ID.

In the third embodiment, the flowchart of the business/private discrimination process shown in FIG. 7 becomes the flowchart of the business/private discrimination process shown in FIG. FIG. 20 is a flowchart of an example of the business/private determination process in step S18.

In step S130, the mileage determining unit 42 counts the number of working days of the employee subject to the business/private determination process in a predetermined period (for example, one month) from the employee's attendance data acquired in step S14.

Proceeding to step S132, the mileage determination unit 42 calculates the business use standard mileage for the number of working days as the mileage for business use based on the number of working days counted in step S130 and the business use standard mileage in the data related to mileage. Proceeding to step S134, the mileage determination unit 42 calculates the commuting distance for the number of working days based on the number of working days counted in step S130 and the commuting distance in the data related to mileage.

The mileage determination unit 42 can determine the mileage for personal use based on the mileage data for a specified period (e.g., one month) of the company car 12 that is the subject of the business/personal use determination process in FIG. 19, obtained in step S16, the mileage for business use for the calculated number of working days, and the commuting distance for the calculated number of working days.

As described above, according to the information processing system 1 of this embodiment, when the personal use of a company car 12 loaned to an employee is permitted, the mileage for business use and the mileage for personal use can be distinguished more easily than in the first and second embodiments without increasing the employee's workload.

The present invention is not limited to the specifically disclosed embodiments above, and various modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the claims.

Note that the attendance data management section 48 is an example of the attendance data management means described in the claims. The mileage determining unit 42 is an example of determining means.
