Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processor where a risk that a password and card information may be stolen in removed by recognizing the uniqueness of an information processing terminal and an auxiliary terminal. SOLUTION: A signal reception part 4 receiving an identification mark recognition signal 5 sends an identification mark which is previously stored in an identification mark storage part 6 to a transmission part 7. The transmission part 7 ciphers the identification mark and transmits it to an identification mark reception part 8. The identification mark reception part 8 receiving the identification mark sends the identification mark to an identification mark collation part 9. The identification mark collation part compounds the ciphered identification marks and collates them. When the marks are the same as the result of collation, a settlement processing is continued. When the marks differ as the result of collation, the settlement processing is stopped, the use of the subsequent settlement processings is disabled in an information terminal 1 and error display 10 is executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus for performing various financial settlements by performing processing such as input of a personal identification number and card information at an auxiliary terminal other than the information processing terminal.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, components of an information processing device obtained by an unauthorized method such as exploitation or theft are modified in advance, and parts of the information processing device that are currently operating elsewhere are replaced to obtain card information. Although incidents such as do occur frequently,
Conventionally, any information processing terminal can be used as an auxiliary terminal that performs processing such as input of a personal identification number and card information, and can be relocated by a simple method, so that damage is expected.

[0003]

In the above conventional information processing apparatus, the auxiliary terminal can be used with any information processing terminal.
It can be replaced with an auxiliary terminal of an arbitrary information processing apparatus, and there is a risk that a personal identification number and card information are stolen. The present invention eliminates the above danger by providing an information processing apparatus having means for confirming the uniqueness of an information processing terminal and an auxiliary terminal.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, an information processing terminal according to the present invention comprises: a signal transmitting section for transmitting a signal for inquiring an auxiliary terminal of an identification symbol of the auxiliary terminal; An information processing terminal including an identification symbol receiving unit that receives an identification symbol of the auxiliary terminal, and an identification symbol matching unit that matches the identification symbol received by the receiving unit with an identification symbol stored in advance. A signal receiving unit that receives a signal for identification symbol inquiry from the information terminal processing device, and an auxiliary terminal including a transmission unit that transmits an identification symbol in accordance with the signal, transmitted from the auxiliary terminal If the received identification code is different from the previously stored identification code, the payment function is stopped, and the fact that the payment function has been stopped is displayed on the display means, so that the tampering was illegally performed. The serial auxiliary terminal, security code by interchanging said auxiliary terminal of any of the information processing apparatus,
Eliminate the risk of stealing card information.

[0005]

With the above arrangement, the information processing apparatus of the present invention eliminates the risk of stealing a personal identification number and card information.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of an information processing apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a settlement process according to one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a CAT (Cash Out) used as a settlement terminal such as a credit card.
The information processing terminal 2 typified by a horizontal terminal, etc., is a signal transmitting unit incorporated in the information processing terminal 1, the signal receiving unit 4 receives a signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit 2, and an IC card. And so-called De
It is built in an auxiliary terminal 3 that reads information such as a bit card and exchanges information with the information processing terminal 1.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an identification number confirmation signal transmitted from the signal transmission unit 2 and received by the signal reception unit 4. The identification number confirmation signal 5 is stored in the information processing terminal 1 in advance, for example. This signal includes information for confirming whether the auxiliary terminal 3 is compatible with the information processing terminal.

Reference numeral 6 denotes an identification symbol storage unit built in the auxiliary terminal 3, which stores a symbol or number unique to the auxiliary terminal. Reference numeral 7 denotes a transmission unit that transmits the identification symbol stored in the identification symbol storage unit 6 and is built in the auxiliary terminal 7.
Reference numeral 8 denotes a receiving unit that is built in the information terminal 1 and receives a signal from the transmitting unit 7. Reference numeral 9 denotes an identification symbol matching unit that checks whether the identification symbol transmitted from the auxiliary terminal 6 is provided by an auxiliary terminal that is compatible with the information processing terminal 1.

In the present invention, the legitimacy of the auxiliary terminal 3 is confirmed prior to the settlement processing performed by the information processing apparatus 1. First, in S1, a signal transmission unit 2 built in the information processing terminal 1 is set.
Transmits an identification code confirmation signal 5 to a signal receiving unit 4 built in the auxiliary terminal 3. In S2, when the identification symbol confirmation signal 5 is received by the auxiliary terminal 3, in S3, the identification symbol previously encrypted and stored in the identification symbol storage unit 6 is read, and in S4, the identification symbol reception of the information processing terminal 1 is performed. The identification code is transmitted to the unit 8. In S5, the identification symbol receiving unit 8 that has received the identification symbol
Sends the identification symbol to the identification symbol collating unit 9. In step S6, the identification symbol collating unit 9 decrypts the identification symbol. In step S7, the unencrypted identification symbol stored in the identification symbol collating unit 9 is compared with individual values for collation. The encryption and decryption are performed by DES (DataEncryption).
n Standard) or the like. If the result of the comparison in S7 shows that the unencrypted identification symbol and the decrypted identification symbol are the same, in S8 the information processing terminal 1
To perform a sales process such as inputting of an amount, and in S9,
After the auxiliary terminal 3 performs authentication processing such as input of a personal identification number and card information, a settlement processing is executed in S10. Said S
As a result of the collation in step 7, if the unencrypted identification symbol and the composite identification symbol are different, in step S11, the identification symbol collating unit 9 erases the application program. In step S12, the function stop screen 10 is displayed. ,
In S13, the operation of the information processing terminal 1 is stopped.

[0012]

As is apparent from the above description, the information processing apparatus of the present invention can eliminate the risk of stealing a personal identification number and card information.
