First, when a user or the like accesses the pocket money management site using the mobile phone 6, the mobile phone 6 uses the user ID, password, or information related to the telephone number of the mobile phone 6 (hereinafter referred to as user authentication information). .) To the server 2 (step S).
1).

The server 2 determines whether the accessed user (hereinafter, referred to as an access user) is an authorized user based on the user authentication information received from the mobile phone 6 (step S2). If the access user is an unregistered user (a user who has not been registered as a regular user), the user authentication information is not sent from the mobile phone 6 to the server 2. It is determined (Step S2: No).

When the server 2 determines that the access user is not a legitimate user, the server 2 transmits the registration screen data included in the HP information 230 to the mobile phone 6 (step S3). When the mobile phone 6 receives the registration screen data from the server 2, the mobile phone 6 displays a registration screen based on the registration screen data (step S4). Here, FIG. 6 is an example of a registration screen displayed on the mobile phone 6.

As shown in FIG. 6, on the registration screen, an input column 302 for allowing the access user to enter a user ID, an input column 304 for allowing the access user to enter a password, An input field 306 for inputting a name, and an input field 30 for inputting a telephone number of a mobile phone to an access user.

An input field 310 for allowing the access user to input an e-mail address, an input field 312 for allowing the access user to input a regular income date, and a regular expenditure date for the access user. An input field 314 for inputting, a selection field 316 for prompting the access user to select a character, and an enter button 318 for determining an input when an input is made in each field are displayed. After the access user inputs items corresponding to each field on the setting screen, by clicking a decision button 318, the input of the setting data of the access user is determined.

When the input of the setting data is determined, the cellular phone 6 transmits the input setting data to the server 2.
(Step S5). When the server 2 receives the setting data, the setting data is stored in the balance DB 240, whereby the user registration is completed, and the access user who has input the setting data becomes an authorized user (step S).
6). Like the user management table 32, the server 2 stores the input setting data in the balance DB 240 in association with each user.

When the server 2 completes the user registration, or when the server 2 determines that the access user is a legitimate user, the server 2 promotes input related to the setting data of the access user (user management table 32). The following judgment is made based on the date. That is, server 2
Determines whether the access user's current access date is after the input promotion date and also determines whether the current access is the first access after the input promotion date (step S7).

Then, when it is determined that the current access is the first access after the input promotion date (step S7: Ye)
s), the process of the server 2 moves to step S8. On the other hand, if it is determined that the current access is not the first access after the input promotion date (step S7: No), the process of the server 2 proceeds to step S14.

In step S8, the server 2
The periodic input promotion screen data included in the information 230 is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. When the mobile phone 6 receives the periodic input promotion screen data from the server 2, the mobile phone 6
Displays a regular input promotion screen based on the regular input promotion screen data (step S9). Here, FIG. 7 is an example of a periodic input promotion screen displayed on the mobile phone 6.

As shown in FIG. 7, a character image 326 and a character line 32
8. An input column 330 for the amount of income, and a determination button 33 for determining the input when the input column 330 is input.
2 is displayed. Character image 326 and line 32
8 is specified by the type of character in the user management table 32. In this example, images of rabbits are shown, but not limited to rabbits, cats, dogs, cows, horses, penguins, piglets, other animals (including fantasy animals such as dragons), fish, insects, and humans Or an image of an alien or the like. That is, in the above step S8, the server 2
Specifies a character image and a line to be displayed on the periodic input promotion screen from the image data 236 and the line data 238 from the character data 234 in accordance with the type of the character in the user management table 32, and The image and the line are included in the periodic input promotion screen data, and the periodic input promotion screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6.

In this example, the line 328 is "Today is a pocket day. How much did you get?" The regular input prompting screen prompts the access user to input income by using the line 328. That is,
The line 328 is a sentence that prompts the access user who saw the line 328 to input the amount of income. on the other hand,
When prompting for the expenditure, the line 328
This is a sentence that prompts the access user who saw 28 to input the expenditure amount. As described above, the regular input prompting screen interactively prompts the access user to input income or expenditure.

After the access user inputs the amount of income on the periodic input promotion screen, by clicking on a decision button 332, the input of the amount of income of the access user periodically is determined.

When it is determined that the regular income is input, the portable telephone 6 transmits the inputted income to the server 2 (step S10). When the server 2 receives the income, the server 2 receives the income, the reception date (input date), and the name data (“pocket money”) for the income.
And “salary” are stored in a balance management table 34 (an example is shown in FIG. 8) in the balance DB 240 (step S1).
1).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the balance management table 34 representing the balance data stored in the balance DB 240. As shown in FIG. 8, the balance management table 34
Is configured to store the input ID, the balance, the name of the item (ie, the purpose of the balance), the category of the item (ie, the category of the purpose of the balance), the degree of favorite, and the input date in association with each other. Have been. Each record stores data relating to one balance. Specifically, a series of data received in steps S21, S25, and S29 in FIG. 4 is stored in one record, and represents one balance.

The input ID is a number sequentially assigned by the balance DB management unit 216 each time the amount of income (or expenditure) is accumulated in step S11 or every time name data is accumulated in step S21 described later. is there. The input date is an input date assigned by the balance DB management unit 216 in step S11 or step S21. The item name is name data received in step S21 described below. The category of the item is category data received in step S25 described later.
The favorite level is favorite level data received in step S29 described later.

The server 2 sends the effect screen data included in the HP information 230 to the mobile phone 6 (step S12). When the mobile phone 6 receives the effect screen data from the server 2, the mobile phone 6 displays an effect screen based on the effect screen data (step S13). Here, FIG. 9 is an example of an effect screen displayed on the mobile phone 6.

As shown in FIG. 9, on the effect screen, a character image 336, a character line 338, and a button 340 for displaying the next screen are displayed. The character image 336 is an image of a character with a smiling expression. The line 338 is "30000 yen or more.

Incidentally, in the above step S12,
The server 2 generates image data 236 and dialog data 238 according to the type of character in the user management table 32 and the amount of income accumulated in step S11.
, The character image and the line to be displayed on the effect screen are specified, the specified character image and the line are included in the effect screen data, and the screen data
Send to For example, the server 2 accumulates a relatively large amount of income in step S11,
In step 2, the character image of the smiling expression and the words "many" are specified. Here, line 338
“30000 yen” is the accumulated income amount, and the dialogue 338 is based on the accumulated income amount.

Next, for example, when the access user
When the display of the effect screen is completed on the mobile phone 6, such as when the user clicks on 40, and the mobile phone 6 sends a request to the server 2 to request the next screen data, the processing of the server 2 proceeds to step S14.

In step S14, the server 2
The input promotion screen data included in the P information 230 is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. Upon receiving the input promotion screen data, the mobile phone 6 displays an input promotion screen based on the input promotion screen data (step S15). FIG. 10 shows an example of the input promotion screen.

As shown in FIG. 10, on the input prompting screen,
Character image 342, dialogue 346, button 34
8 and a button 350 are displayed.

The line 346 is "Tell me about shopping today." The input prompting screen prompts the user to ask the user to input data related to shopping, that is, the amount of expenditure and the expenditure of the item or the like by using a line 346. That is, the line 346 is a sentence that urges the access user who has seen the line 346 to input data relating to expenditure. On the other hand, when prompting input of data related to expenditure, the line is a sentence that prompts a user who has seen the line to input an expenditure amount. By displaying the character image 342 and the lines 346,
The mobile phone 6 interactively prompts the user to input the item name of the expenditure, the expenditure amount, and the like.

By the way, in step S14,
The server 2 specifies a character image and a line to be displayed on the input promotion screen from the image data 236 and the line data 238 according to the type of the character in the user management table 32, and inputs the specified character image and line. The screen data is included in the promotion screen data and transmitted to the mobile phone 6. As a result, the character type of the character image 342 and the tone of the dialogue 346 are specified.

Buttons 348 and 350 are buttons selected and clicked by the access user. The button 348 is a button that means acknowledgment of the question of the line 346, and the button 350 is a button that means rejection of the question of the line 346. Then, when button 348 or button 350 is clicked, a signal (response data) corresponding to the clicked button is transmitted from mobile phone 6 to server 2.

The mobile phone 6 displays the above-described input prompting screen, thereby prompting the access user to input information relating to expenditure. Then, since the dialogue 346 is displayed together with the character image 342 on the mobile phone 6, the input prompting screen makes the user feel as if he or she is talking with the character of the character image 342. Accordingly, the present system motivates the user to input information related to expenditure.

When the input prompting screen is displayed on the mobile phone 6 and the access user clicks the button 348 or the button 350, the mobile phone 6 transmits response data corresponding to the clicked button to the server 2. That is, when the button 348 is clicked, the mobile phone 6 transmits an acknowledgment (Yes) reply data to the server 2, and when the button 350 is clicked, transmits a rejection (No) reply data to the server 2 (step S16). .

When the server 2 receives the response data, the server 2 determines whether the response data is accepted or rejected.
Is determined (step S17). If the reply data is accepted (step S17: Yes), the process of the server 2 proceeds to step S18. On the other hand, if the reply data is rejected (step S17: No), the process of the server 2 proceeds to step S30.

In step S18, the server 2
The name input screen data included in the P information 230 is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. Upon receiving the name input screen data, the mobile phone 6 displays a name input screen based on the name input screen data (step S19). FIG. 11 shows an example of the name input screen.

As shown in FIG. 11, on the name input screen,

And a button 358 are displayed.

The line 354 is “What is shopping today?”
It has become. The dialogue 354 prompts the user to ask the user to input a shopping name, that is, an item name of expenditure. In other words, the line 354 is a sentence that prompts the access user who has seen the line 354 to input the item name of the expenditure (that is, the purpose of the expenditure for shopping). By displaying the character image 352 and the lines 354, the user is interactively prompted to input the item name of the expenditure. In step S18, the server 2 transmits the user management table 3
2 according to the type of the character in the image data 23
6 and the character data 238, a character image and a line to be displayed on the name input screen are specified, the specified character image and the line are included in the name input screen data, and the screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. As a result, the type of the character in the character image 352 and the tone of the line 354 are specified.

The input field 356 is a field in which characters are displayed by operating the mobile phone 6 by the access user.
The button 358 is a button that is clicked by the access user, and is a button for determining the character displayed in the input field 356. That is, when the access user replies to the question of the line 354 and inputs the item name of the expenditure in the input box 356, the access user presses the button 35
When the user clicks on 8, the mobile phone 6 transmits the item name (name data) input to the input field 356 to the server 2 (step S20).

When the server 2 receives the name data, the server 2 stores the received name data in the balance management table 34 in the balance DB 240 (step S21). That is,
The server 2 attaches the input ID, and stores the received name data and the input date in association with the input ID in the balance management table 34.

Next, the server 2 transmits the category input screen data included in the HP information 230 to the mobile phone 6. Upon receiving the category input screen data, the mobile phone 6 displays a category input screen based on the category input screen data (step S22). FIG. 12 shows an example of the category input screen.

As shown in FIG. 12, on the category input screen, a character image 360, a line 362, and a selection field 36 are displayed.

The line 362 is “What is“ DVD ”?”
It has become. According to the line 362, the category (that is, the item input on the name input screen described above)
The mobile phone 6 is inquiring about the shopping expenditure purpose category). In other words, the line 362 is a sentence that prompts the access user who has seen the line 362 to ask the user to input the category of the item.

By the way, in step S22,
The server 2 displays a character image and a line displayed on the category input screen from the image data 236 and the line data 238 according to the character type in the user management table 32 and the name data received (stored) in step S21. The specified character image and dialogue are included in the category input screen data, and the screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. FIG.
Taking the category input screen shown in FIG.
Since the item name received and stored in is "DVD", the line 362 includes the characters "DVD".

In the selection field 364, the displayed category is changed by clicking or the like. That is, one of the plurality of categories prepared in advance is displayed in the selection field 364. As shown in FIG. 12, for example, the plurality of categories are “food”, “drink”, “clothes”, “hobbies”, and the like. Button 366 is a button that is clicked by the access user. And button 36
Reference numeral 6 denotes a button for the access user to determine the category displayed in the selection field 364. The mobile phone 6 displays the category input screen to urge the access user to select the category of the item.

As described above, since the item name input on the name input screen in the category input screen is included in the line 362, the access user can access the character image 360.
It feels like talking to another character.

On the category input screen, the access user selects a category in the selection field 364 in response to the inquiry of the line 362, and when the access user clicks the button 366, the category (category data) selected in the selection field 364 is carried. The telephone 6 transmits to the server 2 (step S24).

When the server 2 receives the category data,
The server 2 stores the received category data in the balance management table 34 of the balance DB 240 (step S25).
That is, the server 2 accumulates the category data in association with the input ID assigned in step S21.

Next, the server 2 transmits the favorite degree input screen data included in the HP information 230 to the mobile phone 6 (step S26). Upon receiving the favorite degree input screen data, the mobile phone 6 displays a favorite degree input screen based on the favorite degree input screen data (step S27). FIG. 13 shows an example of the favorite degree input screen.

As shown in FIG. 13, on the favorite degree input screen, a character image 368, a line 370, a button 372, and a button 374 are displayed.

[0086] The line 370 says, "I like you DVD
? " Step S1
9, the mobile phone 6 inquires of the access user about the favorite degree of the item input on the name input screen. That is, the line 370 is a sentence that urges the access user who has seen the line 370 to input whether the user likes the item.

Here, in step S26, the server 2 selects a favorite degree input screen from the image data 236 and the line data 238 in accordance with the character type in the user management table 32 and the item name received in step S21. The character image and the line to be displayed are specified, the specified character image and the line are included in the favorite degree input screen data, and the screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. Taking the favorite degree input screen shown in FIG. 13 as an example, since the item name is "DVD" in step S21, the dialogue 370 indicates "D
VD ".

Buttons 372 and 374 are buttons selected and clicked by the access user. The button 372 is a button indicating a reply that the user likes the question of the dialog 370, and the button 374 is a button indicating a reply that the user does not like the question of the dialog 370. And button 3
When 72 or button 374 is clicked, a signal (favorite degree data) corresponding to the clicked button is transmitted from mobile phone 6 to server 2.

When the mobile phone 6 displays the favorite degree input screen as described above, the access user is prompted to input the favorite degree for the item input on the name input screen.

When the access user clicks the button 372 or the button 374, the mobile phone 6 transmits the favorite level data corresponding to the clicked button to the server 2. That is, the mobile phone 6 has the button 37
When button 2 is clicked, the favorite degree data indicating that the user likes is transmitted to server 2, and when button 374 is clicked, the favorite degree data indicating that the user does not like is transmitted to server 2.
(Step S28).

When the server 2 receives the favorite degree data, the server 2 stores the received favorite degree data in the balance DB.
The information is accumulated in the income and expenditure management table 34 in 240 (step S29). That is, the server 2 accumulates the favorite degree data in association with the input ID assigned in step S21. After that, the process of the server 2 proceeds to Step S30.

In step S30, the server 2
The amount input screen data included in the P information 230 is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. Upon receiving the amount input screen data, the mobile phone 6 displays an amount input screen based on the amount input screen data (step S31). FIG. 14 shows an example of the money input screen. The screen in FIG. 14A is a screen when the processing of the server 2 has shifted from step S29 to step S30, and the screen in FIG. 14B is a screen in which the processing of the server 2 has been shifted from step S17 to step S3.
It is a screen in the case where it moved to 0.

As shown in FIG. 14A, on the money amount input screen, a character image 376, a line 378, an input field 3
80 and a button 382 are displayed.

The line 378 says, "How much was the DVD
? Please tell me the price. It has become. According to the dialogue 378, the mobile phone 6 inquires of the access user about the item input on the name input screen in step S19 and the amount of the item. That is, the dialogue 378 is a sentence that urges the access user who has seen the dialogue 378 to input the price of the item. here,
In step S30, the server 2 determines the type of character in the user management table 32 and step S21.
According to the item name received (accumulated) in the above, the character image and the line displayed on the money amount input screen are specified from the image data 236 and the line data 238,
The specified character image and line are included in the money input screen data, and the screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. Taking the amount input screen shown in FIG.
The item name received and accumulated in step S21 is "D
Because of “VD”, the line 378 includes the characters “DVD”.

The input field 380 is a field in which characters (numbers) are displayed by operating the mobile phone 6 by the access user. Button 382 is a button clicked by the access user, and is a button for determining the character displayed in input field 380. That is, when the access user replies to the question of the dialogue 378 and inputs the amount of the item in the input box 380, when the access user clicks the button 382, the amount (the amount data) input in the input box 380 is displayed. The mobile phone 6 transmits the data to the server 2 (step S32).

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14B, the character image 386 and the dialogue 38
4, an input field 388 and a button 390 are displayed.

[0097] The line 384 is "Mmmm. Then just tell me how much you used."
That is, when the user rejects the input of shopping (information related to expenditure) on the input promotion screen, the mobile phone 6 prompts the access user to input at least only the amount of expenditure by displaying the dialogue 384.

Here, in step S30, the server 2 determines the character type in the user management table 32 and the image data 23 in accordance with the character image or the line in response to the response data received in step S17.
6 and the line data 238, the character image and the line to be displayed on the amount input screen are specified, the specified character image and the line are included in the amount input screen data, and the screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. FIG.
Taking the money input screen shown in (b) as an example, step S1
7, the server 2 transmits the money input screen including the character image of the angry expression to the mobile phone 6, and the character image 386 becomes the image of the rabbit with the angry expression.

The input field 388 is a field in which characters (numbers) are displayed by operating the mobile phone 6 by the access user. Button 390 is a button that is clicked by the access user and is a button for determining the character displayed in input field 388. That is, when the access user responds to the question of the line 384 and inputs the price of the item in the input field 388, when the access user clicks the button 390, the price (money data) input in the input field 388 is displayed. The mobile phone 6 transmits the data to the server 2 (step S32).

When the server 2 receives the amount data, the received amount is stored in the balance DB 240 (step S33). That is, step S29 → step S3
If the processing has flowed to “0”, the server 2 sets the input I
D is stored in association with the received amount data. on the other hand,
When the processing flows from step S17 to step S30,
In the income and expenditure management table 34, the server 2 assigns a new input ID and stores the received amount data and the input date in association with the input ID.

Next, the server 2 specifies the effect screen data included in the HP information 230, and transmits the specified effect screen data to the mobile phone 6 (step S34). When the mobile phone 6 receives the effect screen data from the server 2, the mobile phone 6 displays an effect screen based on the effect screen data (step S35). Here, FIG.
It is an example of an effect screen displayed on the mobile phone 6.

As shown in FIG. 15, on the effect screen, a character image 502, a line 504, a line 518, a button 520, and a button 524 are displayed. The character image 502 is an image of a character with a smiling expression. In addition, the line 504 reads, "I've become more detailed about you." Line 518
"Did you do any other shopping today?"

The effect screen prompts the user to ask the user again for shopping, that is, input of data relating to the amount of expenditure and the expenditure of the item or the like by using a line 518. That is, the line 518 is a sentence that prompts the access user who has seen the line 518 to input data relating to expenditure.

By the way, in step S34,
The server 2 generates the image data 23 based on the character type in the user management table 32 and the balance data (balance management table 34) stored in the balance DB 240.
6 and the character data 238, a character image and a line to be displayed on the effect screen are specified, the specified character image and the line are included in the effect screen data, and the screen data is transmitted to the mobile phone 6. The fact that the server 2 specifies the character image and the words based on the balance data will be described later.

The buttons 520 and 524 are buttons selected and clicked by the access user. The button 520 is a button that means affirmation to the question of the line 518, and the button 524 is a button that means negation to the question of the line 518. When the button 520 or the button 524 is clicked, a signal (response data) corresponding to the clicked button is transmitted from the mobile phone 6 to the server 2.
That is, when the button 520 is clicked, the mobile phone 6 transmits reply data of affirmative (Yes) to the server 2, and when the button 524 is clicked, transmits reply data of negative (No) to the server 2 (step S36). .

When the server 2 receives the response data, the server 2 determines whether the response data is positive or negative.
Is determined (step S37). If the reply data is affirmative (step S37: Yes), the processing of the server 2 moves to step S18, and steps S18 to S3.
7 is repeated. On the other hand, when the response data is negative (step S37: No), the process of the server 2 proceeds to step S38.

Here, steps S1 to S37 are repeated when the user accesses the site a plurality of times, or steps S18 to S37 are repeated when the user responds affirmatively on the effect screen, and each time the user inputs this information, Data (amount of expenditure or income, item name, item category, favorite degree, etc.) is accumulated in the income and expenditure DB 240, and the income and expenditure data (the income and expenditure management table 34) of the income and expenditure DB 240 is updated.

As described above, when the server 2 transmits the effect screen data for displaying the effect screen on the mobile phone 6 in step S35, the server 2 specifies the character image and the line data based on the balance data ( Step S34). As a specific method at this time, when the same item is purchased, the size of the expenditure amount and the time difference from the previous input date can be considered. Hereinafter, each case will be described.

An effect screen when the same item is purchased is shown in FIG. On the effect screen shown in FIG. 16, a character image 506, a line 508, a line 518, and a button 520 are displayed.
And a button 522 are displayed. The line 508 reads, "Well, did you buy a DVD again? The expression of the character in the character image 506 is a relatively surprised expression. The server 2 performs step S
It is determined whether or not the same item name as the item name stored in 21 is included in the balance management table 34, and the words and the character image are specified.

Next, an example of an effect screen according to the amount of expenditure is shown in FIG. In the effect screen shown in FIG. 17, a character image 510, a line 512, a line 518, and a button 520 are displayed.
And a button 522 are displayed. The line 512 is "Wasteful useless! Let's reflect on it!" The expression of the character in the character image 510 is a relatively angry expression. The server 2 performs step S3
Whether the expenditure accumulated in 3 is relatively large,
That is, after determining whether or not the input amount of expenditure is larger than a given value, the character image and the words are specified.

Next, an example of an effect screen according to the time difference from the previous input date is shown in FIG. In the effect screen shown in FIG. 18, the character image 514, the line 516, the line 51
8, a button 520 and a button 522 are displayed. The line 516 says, "I've been out of luck recently. The expression of the character in the character image 514 is
The expression is relatively sad. The server 2 specifies the character image and the line by determining whether or not the difference between the input date stored in step S21 or step S30 and the previously stored input date is larger than a given value.

Further, the character in the character data 234 described above may be grown. That is, the user management table 32 stores character growth information in addition to the character type. And
This growth degree information is stored in the balance management table 34 of the user.
Is changed according to the amount of data of. Specifically, data for baby rabbits, data for child rabbits, and data for adult rabbits are stored as character data 234 separately. Then, the growth degree information is initially set to “0”, and the value of the growth degree information is increased with an increase in the data amount of the balance management table 34. Then, when specifying the character image and the line, the character image and the line corresponding to the growth degree information are specified from the character data 234.

By displaying such various effect screens, an access user who looks at the effect screen feels as if talking with the character, and can enter income and expenditure with fun. That is, the access user can input income and expenditure without getting tired. Further, the more the user inputs data from the mobile phone 6, the more the displayed character grows, so that the user can enjoy the data input.

In step S38, the server 2 stores the total income for each month (may be daily, yearly, or weekly) based on the accumulated and updated income and expenditure data as described above. Calculate the subtotal or balance of total spending.
These calculations are performed by the balance DB management unit 216. Then, the server 2 specifies the management screen data included in the HP information 230, and includes the data on the monthly balance included in the balance DB 240 and the above-described calculation result in the specified management screen data (step S38). Then, the server 2 transmits the management screen data to the mobile phone 6 (Step S39).

When the mobile phone 6 receives the management screen data from the server 2, the mobile phone 6 displays a management screen based on the management screen data (step S35). FIG. 19 shows an example of a management screen displayed on the mobile phone 6.

As shown in FIG. 19, on the management screen, the income subtotal of the day when the access user accessed this site is 5
24, subtotal of expenditure of the day 526, number of items of expenditure input on the day 528, subtotal of income of the month 530, subtotal of expenditure of the month 5
32 and the balance 538 are displayed.

The PC 8 may display a management screen as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG.
In the management screen 8, the subtotal of expenditure 540 on the day, the number of items 542 of expenditure input on the day, the subtotal of income 544 of the month, the subtotal of expenditure 546 of the month, and the current balance 548 are displayed. The daily income amount and expenditure amount, item name, input date and category are displayed as a list table. In this list table, the income amount or the expenditure amount is associated with the item name.

As described above, according to the system of the present embodiment, the user inputs the data relating to the balance from the portable telephone 6 and stores the data in the server 2 using the Internet 4. In addition, by using the mobile phone 6, the user can easily input information related to the balance. For this reason, as long as you have an environment that can connect to the Internet 4,
At any time and in any place, the user can easily manage the data relating to the balance. From the above,
The user can use the present system instead of a pocketbook or a cashier. Therefore, the system
The convenience as a pocketbook or a cash book has been greatly improved.

[0119] Further, in the portable telephone 6, by repeatedly displaying the words together with the character image, it is interactively prompted to input the data relating to the balance. Therefore, the user is motivated to input the data related to the balance, and the user can input the data related to the balance while having fun.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made. For example, in the above steps S7 to S8, the server 2 transmits the periodic input promotion screen data after the input promotion date, but may transmit the periodic input promotion screen data before the input promotion date (for example, three days before). good. Also, the server 2
An e-mail may be sent to the e-mail address of the setting data, stating that the pocket day or payday has arrived or that the pocket day or payday has arrived.

Although the character is grown in accordance with the data amount of the balance management table 34, the following may be adopted. For example, the server 2 may statistically record the category of the item or the name of the item for each user, and determine the state of the character in accordance with the statistically recorded data. In this case, the state is the character's character, the mental and physical state of the character, and the like. For example, the server 2 determines the character of the character by determining the words of the character or the image of the character according to the statistically recorded data. When a relatively large number of “clothes” categories are stored as item categories, the server 2 determines a character image with relatively fancy clothes or a line with an artistic tone. This allows
The character's character is determined. As described above, since the character of the character is determined based on the input of the user, that is, the preference of the user, the user can input the information regarding the balance without getting tired. Further, for example, when the category of “food” is hardly accumulated as the category of the item, the server 2 determines an image of a relatively poor character (for example, an image in which the body shape of the character is relatively thin), If a relatively large number of “food” categories are accumulated as the category, an image of an obese-type character is determined.

In addition, although the dialogue is displayed on the terminal device (the mobile phone 6 or the PC 8) to prompt the user to input, for example, the dialogue is generated as a voice to prompt the user to input. Is also good.
This means that the server 2 prepares audio data, transmits the audio data from the server 2 to the terminal device, and generates audio in the terminal device.

The server 2 may not be a single general-purpose computer, but may be a server system to which a plurality of general-purpose computers are connected. For example, one general-purpose computer in the server system may store balance data and setting data, and another general-purpose computer may transmit and receive data to and from the mobile phone 6 or the PC 8. .

Although the Internet 4 is used as an electric communication line, another dedicated communication line may be used. Further, those that transmit and receive data to and from the server 2
Not limited to the mobile phone 6 or the PC 8, for example, a game device or the like may be used.

M, an auxiliary storage device, a game controller, a display device such as a display, an audio output device such as a speaker,
A communication device or the like for connecting to the Internet 4 is a known game device connected via a system. Note that the game device may be a home game device or a business game device. In the case of a home game device, a reading device capable of reading an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD is provided. The game device is constantly or intermittently connected to the Internet via a public telephone line or a dedicated communication line.

The game device executes a given game such as a sports game, a simulation game, or a role playing game, and has a function of connecting to the present system separately from the game. In addition, it may be possible to input the amount of income and expenditure while the given game is in progress, or to input the amount of income and expenditure as a mini game different from the given game. May be.
Further, characters appearing in a given game may appear as characters according to the present system.
Further, the data accumulated in the balance DB 240 may be reflected in a given game.

In addition, instead of the arcade game machine, a kiosk terminal may be installed in a store such as a game center, a convenience store, a supermarket, a department store, or a restaurant. Since such a kiosk terminal is installed in a store, the user can input the amount of purchase immediately after shopping.

An arcade game device or kiosk terminal (hereinafter, referred to as a kiosk terminal)
In the case of an arcade game device or the like, a printing device such as a printer or a plotter may be provided, and this printing device is connected to the system bus. The arcade game device or the like may have a function of printing the displayed screen. For example, the management screen shown in FIGS. 19 and 20 may be printed from the printing apparatus. In the case of arcade game devices and the like, they are generally fixed at stores such as game centers. Therefore, by printing the balance, the total income, the total expenditure, the daily total income, the daily total expenditure, the monthly total income, or the monthly total expenditure on a paper or the like, the user can print the balance management. You can take the paper home.

In the case of an arcade game device or the like, the arcade game device or the like may include an imaging device such as a CCD camera or a digital camera, and this imaging device is connected to the system bus. Then, for example, step S
In steps 4 to S6, the following may be performed. That is, when displaying the registration screen, the arcade game device or the like captures an image of the user. Next, when the arcade game device or the like transmits the setting data to the server 2, the captured image is transmitted. Then, the server 2 stores the user management table 3
2 stores the captured image. Then, when transmitting the screen data in step S12, step S18, step S22, step S26, step S30 or step S34, the server 2 includes the captured screen data in the screen data. Thus, the captured image, that is, the image of the user is displayed on the arcade game device. Here, in the case of the PC 6, the images stored in the PC 6 may be transmitted in steps S4 to S6.

Further, in the above embodiment, the server 2
