Description

電子帳單系統 electronic billing system

本發明為一種電子帳單系統，尤指一種能整合多筆經由電子郵件寄送的帳單資訊至智慧型裝置上的電子帳單應用端軟體，藉此提供使用者繳費的便利性以及整合多筆帳單資訊的電子帳單系統。 The present invention is an electronic billing system, particularly an electronic billing application software that can integrate multiple pieces of billing information sent via email to a smart device, thereby providing users with the convenience of payment and integrating multiple Electronic billing system for billing information.

目前常見的電子帳單形式係以手機簡訊或者寄送電子郵件(Email)，以達到節約紙張以及環保之目的。 At present, the common forms of electronic billing are through mobile phone text messages or sending emails (Email) to achieve the purpose of saving paper and environmental protection.

參閱圖5，以寄送電子郵件來說，一帳單機構資訊系統60會將要傳送給電子帳單的接收者之帳單資訊內容，以電子郵件的格式包裝起來，此份電子郵件通常會包含下列部分：寄件者、收件者、內文以及附件。 Referring to Figure 5, for sending an email, a billing agency information system 60 will package the billing information content to be sent to the recipient of the electronic bill in an email format. This email usually contains The following parts: sender, recipient, text, and attachments.

上述電子帳單的電子郵件，會透過寄件者所屬的一第一電子郵件伺服器61藉由標準的電子郵件傳送格式傳送給收件者所屬的一第二電子郵件伺服器70，收件者再應用一個符合標準且經協定的一電子郵件客戶端軟體80查看此份電子帳單的電子郵件，一般來說，該電子郵件客戶端軟體80係以網頁形式開啟該第二電子郵件伺服器70。 The e-mail of the above-mentioned electronic bill will be sent to a second e-mail server 70 of the recipient through a first e-mail server 61 belonging to the sender through a standard e-mail transmission format. Then use an email client software 80 that meets the standards and is approved to view the email of the electronic bill. Generally speaking, the email client software 80 opens the second email server 70 in the form of a web page. .

由於該第二電子郵件伺服器70以及該電子郵件客戶端軟體80於最初開發設計的目的均非為了電子帳單的應用，因此，該帳單機構資訊系統60透過電子郵件方式來傳遞電子帳單資訊僅是為了達成「傳達」之目的，並未針對閱讀的方便性以及帳單繳付的方便性進行完整的考量。 Since the second email server 70 and the email client software 80 were not originally developed and designed for electronic bill applications, the billing agency information system 60 transmits electronic bills through email. The information is only for the purpose of "conveying" and has not fully considered the convenience of reading and bill payment.

例如：帳單接收者要使用此電子帳單裡面的條碼規格資料去便利商店繳款時，必須把帳單列印出來，或是在手機內打開電子郵件應用的APP，找到並打開電子帳單的電子郵件，再打開包含電子帳單的附件檔案並輸入密碼，打開附件檔案後，找到條碼規格資料並且在手機螢幕上進行放大或縮小，且移動到適當的位置以利便利商店的人員掃描條碼規格資料，從而完成電子帳單的繳款。而如果使用者同時要繳納多張電子帳單，則需重複上述步驟多次，除了電子郵件繁多難找之外，繳費與否也時常會忘記。 For example: when the bill recipient wants to use the barcode specification data in this electronic bill to pay at a convenience store, he must print out the bill, or open the email application APP on his mobile phone, find and open the electronic bill email, then open the attached file containing the electronic bill and enter the password. After opening the attached file, find the barcode specifications and zoom in or out on the mobile screen, and move it to an appropriate position to facilitate the convenience store personnel to scan the barcode. Specification information to complete the payment of electronic bills. And if the user wants to pay multiple electronic bills at the same time, he or she needs to repeat the above steps many times. In addition to having numerous emails that are difficult to find, they often forget whether to pay or not.

因此發明人憑藉在相關的實務經驗，積極經過長期思考，原型試驗及不斷改善，終於研發出簡易又實用的替代性裝置。 Therefore, the inventor relied on his relevant practical experience and actively developed a simple and practical alternative device through long-term thinking, prototype testing and continuous improvement.

The email 42 has at least one attachment file 43. The attachment file 43 corresponds to a billing information 20 of a single user. The billing information 20 is the amount, cancellation number, payment period, billing number or any combination of the above. The billing information 20 20 can be matched with one code specifications The data 21 generates at least one code 211. The email server 12 has an email storage space 13 for storing the email 42 sent by the billing agency information system 40. When the email 42 is stored in the electronic After the email storage space 13 is obtained, the email 42 is parsed by the email parsing module 14. The parsed content of the email 42 includes the sender of the email 42, the recipient of the email 42, the content and The attachment file 43 is used to obtain the content of the bill information 20 by parsing the attachment file 43, and the bill information 20 is stored in the database 15; and an electronic bill application software 30 is installed on a smart device 50. The electronic bill application software 30 connects to the electronic bill management system 11 and reads the corresponding bill information 20 in the database 15.

藉由上述結構，使用者要獲取該帳單資訊20時，透過操作該智慧型裝置50上的該電子帳單應用端軟體30，即可獲知該帳單資訊20，接著於繳費場所將該電子帳單應用端軟體30呈現出來，該帳單資訊20即會顯示相關繳費資訊，使用者可透過左右滑動的方式切換不同之該帳單資訊20，藉此提供使用者電子帳單繳費時的便利性。 With the above structure, when the user wants to obtain the bill information 20, he can obtain the bill information 20 by operating the electronic bill application software 30 on the smart device 50, and then transfer the electronic bill at the payment location. The bill application software 30 is displayed, and the bill information 20 will display relevant payment information. The user can switch to different bill information 20 by sliding left and right, thereby providing the user with convenience when paying electronic bills. sex.

參閱圖3並搭配圖1，該帳單機構資訊系統40與該電子帳單整合平台10約定後，該帳單機構資訊系統40所寄送的該電子郵件42具有複數附件檔43，各該附件檔43分別對應單一用戶的該帳單資訊20，各該帳單資訊20搭配一條碼規格資料21產生至少一條碼211，使用此整合方式將該等附件檔43統一使用該電子郵件42寄送，將有助於提升該電子帳單管理系統11的讀取效率；而在此實施例中，該電子郵件解析模組14係與該電子郵件伺服器12整合，當該電子郵件42傳送至該電子郵件伺服器12會由該電子郵件解析模組14進行解析，獲知的該帳單資訊20會直接存入該資料庫15，此實施例的優點在於該電子郵件42不需要儲存，即可透過該電子郵件解析模組14直接獲得該帳單資訊20，減少整體的儲存空間占用。 Referring to Figure 3 in conjunction with Figure 1, after the billing agency information system 40 and the electronic bill integration platform 10 have agreed, the email 42 sent by the billing agency information system 40 has a plurality of attachment files 43, each of which is attached. The files 43 respectively correspond to the billing information 20 of a single user. Each of the billing information 20 is matched with the one-code specification data 21 to generate at least one code 211. This integration method is used to uniformly send the attachment files 43 using the email 42. It will help to improve the reading efficiency of the electronic bill management system 11; and in this embodiment, the email parsing module 14 is integrated with the email server 12. When the email 42 is sent to the electronic bill server 12, The email server 12 will be parsed by the email parsing module 14, and the billing information 20 will be directly stored in the database 15. In practice, The advantage of this embodiment is that the email 42 does not need to be stored, and the billing information 20 can be directly obtained through the email parsing module 14, thereby reducing the overall storage space occupied.

舉例來說：假設該帳單資訊20中的銷帳編號資料(A123)搭配該條碼規格資料21(code 39)會產生一個銷帳編號的該條碼211；又或者該帳單資訊20的繳費金額(520元)搭配該條碼規格資料21(code 39)會產生一個繳款金額的該條碼211，上述之銷帳編號資料或繳費金額均為列舉數值，並非用於限定本創作，此外該條碼規格資料21係根據收款機構與該帳單機構資訊系統彼此所約定的規格，並非僅限於code 39。 For example: assuming that the charge-off number data (A123) in the bill information 20 is matched with the barcode specification data 21 (code 39), a charge-off number of the bar code 211 will be generated; or the payment amount of the bill information 20 (520 yuan) combined with the barcode specification data 21 (code 39) will generate a payment amount of the barcode 211. The above cancellation number data or payment amount are enumerated values and are not used to limit this creation. In addition, the barcode specification Data 21 is based on the specifications agreed between the collection agency and the billing agency's information system, and is not limited to code 39.

參閱圖4，此實施例中揭露該帳單資訊20亦可存放於該電子郵件42之一郵件表頭44中，該電子郵件42儲存於該電子郵件伺服器12之該電子郵件儲存空間13中，透過該電子郵件解析模組14獲知該郵件表頭44中的該帳單資訊20，再將該帳單資訊20儲存於該資料庫15中。 Referring to FIG. 4 , this embodiment discloses that the billing information 20 may also be stored in a mail header 44 of the email 42 stored in the email storage space 13 of the email server 12 , the billing information 20 in the email header 44 is obtained through the email parsing module 14, and then the billing information 20 is stored in the database 15.

需注意的是，上述實施例僅為例示性說明本發明之原理及其功效，而非用於限制本發明之範圍。任何熟於此項技術之人均可在不違背本發明之技術原理及精神下，對實施例作修改與變化。因此本發明之權利保護範圍應如後述之申請專利範圍所述。 It should be noted that the above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
