Is stored in a wireless card update database 40 for storing the information.

Next, the processing of the station service system 1 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 4 shows the station service system 1
FIG. 4 is a diagram schematically illustrating an entire process related to updating of a wireless card in the first embodiment. Here, it is assumed that the wireless card A owned by the user is in a state where the wireless card A cannot be used due to an expiration date or a shortage of the remaining amount or is in a state where the wireless card A is almost unavailable. In other words, it is assumed that the wireless card is updated in a state where the validity period of the commuter pass has expired, the remaining period of the validity period has become shorter than a predetermined period, or the remaining amount of the SF card has become small.

In such a case, the station service system 1 communicates the contents of updating the record of the wireless card A owned by the user with the railway host server 2 using the portable terminal owned by the user. (A to C in FIG. 4), and the railway host server 2 registers it in each station equipment of each station management system (C to E in FIG. 4). When the wireless card is used in the station equipment after such update content is registered, the recorded content of the wireless card is updated (E in FIG. 4). Also,
The fee generated by the renewal is settled by the contracting company of the portable terminal of the user using a normal electronic settlement system (G to H in FIG. 4).

Next, a process for registering the updated contents of the wireless card A in each station equipment will be described in detail. FIG.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining a process of registering the update content of the wireless card in the station service equipment by the mobile terminal.

That is, when updating the recorded contents of the wireless card owned by the user, the user uses the portable terminal 4 owned by the user to refer to the guidance shown on the display unit 4a as shown in FIG. While inputting a personal ID as unique identification information given to the wireless card. Then, when the user instructs the start of transmission of the personal ID, the mobile terminal 4
It connects to the access point of the railway host server 2 and transmits the input personal ID (step 1). At this time, the mobile terminal 4 is stored in the railway host server 2 together with the personal ID.
Send information such as a phone number to identify

Then, the railway host server 2 receives the personal ID from the portable terminal 4 (Step 2). And
The railway host server 2 extracts the personal information registered in the personal database 2a based on the received personal ID, and compares the extracted personal information with information indicating the portable terminal 4 such as the telephone number of the transmission source (step). 3). By this comparison, the railway host server 2 determines whether the accessed portable terminal 4 and the individual who registers the update content of the wireless card are valid (step 4).

If it is determined that there is validity, the railway host server 2 refers to the personal information from the personal database 2a and reads out the use information of the person's wireless card (step 5). When the use information of the person is read, the railway host server 2 transmits (replies) the use information to the transmission source portable terminal 4 (step 6).

Then, the portable terminal 4 receives the usage information transmitted from the railway host server 2, and displays the usage information such as the expiration date and the balance on the display unit 4a as shown in FIG. 7 (step 7). .

As described above, the railway host server is accessed using the portable terminal possessed by the user, and the railway host server extracts the use information of the user's wireless card and displays the information on the portable terminal. The user can check the usage information of the wireless card at any time regardless of time or place.

If it is determined in step 4 that the accessed portable terminal and the individual who registers the updated contents of the wireless card are not appropriate, the railway host server 2 uses the found wireless card for unauthorized use. And performs a process of disabling use thereafter. This process uses the existing ID
Similarly to the check, a code indicating that the card cannot be used is registered in the wireless card. In addition, when the wireless card whose use has been disabled by this process can be used again, the user makes a request to a station attendant and changes the status of use disabled using a predetermined device.

As described above, when the portable terminal accesses the railway host server, the validity of the information indicating the portable terminal and the personal ID given to the wireless card is determined. The transmission of the usage information and the subsequent processing are made available, and if it is determined that the wireless card is not appropriate, the wireless card is made unusable. For this reason, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use by a picked-up wireless card or the like, thereby improving security.

When the use information of the wireless card is displayed in the above step 7, the user selects whether or not to update the recorded contents of the wireless card (step 10). When the update of the recorded content is selected by this selection, the display unit 4a of the mobile terminal 4 displays a processing menu for extending the validity period, changing the validity period, or adding the amount. The user specifies the contents of the update from this processing menu (step 11).

For example, when the period extension of the commuter pass is selected from the processing menu, the display section 4a of the portable terminal 4 displays the information shown in FIG.
As shown in, a screen instructing "extend for one month", "extend for three months", "extend for six months", or "cancel" is displayed. On this screen, the user specifies an item and updates are specified.

When inputting the amount, the user selects "Specify amount" from the processing menu and specifies the amount. In this case, if the designated amount exceeds the preset upper limit of the amount of use, the display unit 4a of the portable terminal 4 displays the information shown in FIG.
As shown in, a message "The specified amount has exceeded the usage limit" is displayed, and a screen for specifying "re-enter" or "cancel" is displayed. When the designated amount is within the usage amount, the display unit 4a of the portable terminal 4 displays the information shown in FIG.
As shown at 0, the amount to be added and a guide that will be updated at the next use. Thank you for use are displayed.

When the update content is instructed by these processes, the portable terminal 4 accesses the railway host server 2 and
The updated contents are transmitted (step 12). The railway host server 2 receiving such an update content determines whether or not the received update content is appropriate (step 13). For example, renewal that exceeds the operational expiration date is prohibited, and renewal that replenishes the remaining amount exceeds the full amount of the wireless card is prohibited.

If it is determined that the update is not possible, the railway host server 2 transmits to the portable terminal 4 of the transmission source.
Is transmitted to the user (step 14). When it is determined that the update is possible by the above determination, the railway host server 2 transmits to the transmission source portable terminal 4 a message indicating that the update has been permitted or that the update content has been registered. (Step 1
5). On the other hand, the mobile terminal 4 receiving these messages
Displays the message received from the railway host server 2 on the display unit 4a.

If it is determined that updating is possible,
The railway host server 2 transmits the message to the portable terminal 4 and transmits the updated content to the station host computer 11 of the station-by-station management system 3 (step 16). At this time, the railway host server 2 transmits, as the update content of the wireless card, information indicating the update content using the personal ID corresponding to the wireless card as an index. At this time, the station-by-station management system 3 to which the railway host server 2 transmits the updated contents
May be a station-by-station management system of all railway companies or a station-by-station management system including a station designated by a user. Further, based on the recorded contents of the wireless card, for example, a station-by-station management system including a station within an effective section as a commuter pass of the wireless card, or a departure station and an arrival station of the section may be used.

The station host computer 11 which has received the updated contents from the railway host server 2 sends an automatic ticket gate 12, a commuter pass issuing machine 13, and a ticket vending machine 1 in the station-by-station management system 3.
4. The updated contents are transmitted to each station service device such as the payment machine 15. Each station service equipment 12 to 15 receiving such updated contents
Then, the update content is registered in the wireless card update database 40 provided in each device (step 17).

Also, in the above example, the update contents are registered in each station service device from the railway host server 2 using the portable terminal. However, the railway company on the browser is accessed via the Internet using the PC. Accordingly, the update content may be transmitted, and the update content may be registered in each station service device.

With the above processing, the registration of the updated content of the wireless card using the portable terminal to each station equipment is completed.

As described above, since the update content of the wireless card is specified using the portable terminal, the update content can be specified regardless of time and place, which is convenient. Also,
Since the use information of the wireless card is displayed (visualized) from the railway host server using the mobile terminal, the time,
You can see the usage information of the wireless card anywhere. In addition, when the mobile terminal accesses the railway host server, it is confirmed that the information indicating the mobile terminal matches the wireless card, so that security protection can be realized and illegal use of the detected wireless card can be prevented.

Next, a process for updating the recorded contents of the wireless card A after registering the updated contents in each station equipment as described above will be described.

Here, a case where an automatic ticket gate as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is used as station equipment will be described.
FIG. 11 is a flowchart for explaining an update process based on the contents registered in an automatic ticket gate as a station service device (terminal device).

That is, the wireless card reader / writer 22
Drives an antenna (not shown) and emits radio waves for starting communication with the wireless card A in the communication area. In this state, when the user presents the wireless card A in the communication area (step 21), the wireless card A receives a radio wave from the radio card reader / writer 22 by an antenna (not shown), and the radio wave is received by the received radio wave. The power required for the operation of the card A is generated, the personal ID corresponding to the wireless card A recorded in a memory unit (not shown), the departure station information as the commuter pass information, the arrival station information, the expiration date, or the SF card The balance information is radiated from the antenna.

The radiated radio wave is received by the wireless card reader / writer 22 via the antenna and supplied to the CPU 31. Thereby, the CPU 31 reads the stored contents of the wireless card A (step 22). Since the read information from the wireless card includes the personal ID,
The CPU 31 identifies a personal ID from the read contents (step 23). Thereby, CPU 31 determines whether or not a personal ID that matches the identified personal ID is registered in wireless card update database 40 (step 2).
4).

If it is determined that the matching personal ID is not registered, the CPU 31 executes the ticket inspection process by determining whether or not the user can pass based on the content read from the wireless card A. (Step 2
5).

If it is determined that the matching personal ID is registered in the wireless card update database 40, the CPU 31 first executes the update processing of the recorded contents of the wireless card A based on the updated contents. (Step 26). That is, the corresponding information area is updated based on the updated content of the personal ID that matches the personal ID of the wireless card A. For example, if the expiration date is updated, the contents of the information area in which the expiration date is recorded are rewritten via the wireless card reader / writer 22, and if the remaining amount is replenished, the remaining amount is recorded via the wireless card reader / writer 22. Rewrite the contents of the information area specified. By these processes,
The update of the wireless card A is completed. At this time, the CPU 31
Notifies the railway host server 2 of the completion of the update in association with the personal ID (step 27).

Further, the CPU 31 executes the ticket examination process by judging the user's passage by adding the above-described updated contents to the recorded contents of the wireless card A read in the above-mentioned step 22 (step 28).

With the above processing, the processing of rewriting the recorded contents of the wireless card A during normal use is completed.

As described above, since the recorded contents are updated based on the updated contents registered during normal use of the wireless card, no trouble is required in updating and the convenience is improved. .

Next, the settlement process for the updated contents executed by the above-described process will be described. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining a settlement process accompanying the above-described update process.

That is, when the station-by-station management system 3 notifies the completion of the update processing for the wireless card specified by the personal ID (step 31), the railway host server 2 responds to the personal ID from the personal database 2a. The personal information is read, and the usage fee generated at the time of updating is calculated (step 32). When the usage fee is calculated in this manner, the railway host server 2 accesses the contract company with the telephone company in which the holder of the wireless card updated based on the personal information contracts the mobile terminal 4, and charges the usage fee. (Step 33).

The contracting company that has recognized such usage fee billing transmits a response message indicating that the usage fee billing has been received to the railway host server 2 (step 34). When receiving the response message from the contract company (step 35), the settlement process in the railway host server 2 is completed.

On the other hand, the contract company transmits a response message and transfers the charged usage fee to an account designated in advance as an open account of the railway company (step 36). Then, when issuing a statement to the user, the contract company issues to the user a statement in a form that clearly indicates the use required for updating the wireless card (step 37). On the other hand, the user pays the amount of the usage fee directly to the contract company, or pays the amount of the usage fee to the contract company by an automatic debit service from the account (step 38).

With the above-described processing, the payment processing for updating the recorded contents of the wireless card is completed.

As described above, when the update process is executed, the railway host server collects a usage fee from the contracting company of the portable terminal, and the contracting company issues a statement specifying the contents of use and issues a statement from the user. Fees are collected.

As a result, the user can pay the fee for the update at the same time as the usage fee of the ordinary portable terminal after seeing the specification in which the usage details are specified, and the user is less troublesome. Further, in the railway company, since the contract company of the mobile terminal collects the fee, the operation cost for collecting the usage fee can be reduced.

As described above, the update content is transmitted to the railway host server using the portable terminal, and the railway host server registers the update content in each station service device. After this registration, the recorded contents of the wireless card are updated based on the automatically updated contents when the user uses the wireless card with the station equipment.

Thus, the update contents of the wireless card can be registered at any time and place, and the update can be automatically performed without being particularly conscious of the update by the registered update contents. This saves time and improves convenience.
