Next, the service ticket issuance
The operation of the authenticity determination system will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. It is assumed that a user who is a resident of Aoyama-ku, Tokyo, receives a garbage collection service in Aoyama-ku in order to have Aoyama-ku collect used trash as oversized garbage. In addition, w of Aoyama-ku, Tokyo
It is assumed that the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) address of the web page is “http://www.city.aoyama.tokyo.jp/”.

First, after turning on the power to the user terminal 1, the user operates a keyboard or a mouse constituting the operation unit to instruct the browser to be activated. Thereby, the control unit of the user terminal 1 starts the browser. Next, the user operates the keyboard to receive the garbage collection service, so that the URL address “ht” of the web page in Aoyama Ward is displayed.
tp: //www.city.aoyama.tokyo.jp/ ". Thereby, the control unit (strictly, the activated browser) of the user terminal 1 accesses the authentication server 3 via the network 5 and displays the web page of Aoyama-ku on the display unit (step SA1 in FIG. 2). ).

Next, the user displays a web page of Aoyama Ward on the display unit.
While the page is displayed, operate the keyboard to search for a page related to the garbage collection service, enter the information necessary for receiving the garbage collection service, and issue a service ticket issuance request for the oversized garbage collection service. To instruct. The necessary information includes, for example, a user identification number, a password, an address, a name, the type, size and number of oversized garbage, and a desired collection date. Thereby, the control unit of the user terminal 1 executes a ticket request process. That is, the control unit of the user terminal 1 requests the issuance of a service ticket for receiving the garbage collection service using the necessary information as the authentication server 3 via the network 5 (step SA2).

The control unit of the authentication server 3 that has received the ticket request from the user terminal 1 executes a first authentication process (step SA3). That is, the control unit of the authentication server 3 determines the user based on information transmitted from the user terminal 1 (user identification number, password, address, name, type, size and number of oversized garbage, desired collection date, etc.). Terminal 1
It is determined whether the user who is the operator is a legitimate customer (that is, a resident of Aoyama Ward). When the user is authenticated as a result of the first authentication process, the control unit of the authentication server 3 executes a payment request process (step SA4). That is, the control unit of the authentication server 3 requests payment of a garbage collection service provided to the user via the network 5. In this case, assuming that the price for collecting the closet is 1,000 yen, the control unit of the authentication server 3 requests the payment of 1,000 yen, for example, by a credit card owned by the user.

The control unit of the user terminal 1 having received the payment request from the authentication server 3 executes a payment process (step SA5). That is, the control unit of the user terminal 1 first
The display unit displays a screen prompting for input of items necessary for payment, such as a credit card number. Then, when the user inputs the items necessary for the payment, the control unit of the user terminal 1 checks the value of the garbage collection service received based on the service ticket issued later (1,000 in this case).
JPY) online with a credit card.

As a result, the control unit of the authentication server 3 confirms payment of the consideration by the user terminal 1 (step SA).

That is, after the control unit of the authentication server 3 generates unique and unique pattern image data (for example, two-dimensional barcode data) for providing the garbage collection service requested by the user, and transmits the generated pattern image data to the user terminal 1 Then, the communication with the user terminal 1 via the network 5 is cut off, and a series of processing ends. The pattern image data corresponds to the user's address, name, type, size and number of oversized garbage, and collection date.

After receiving the pattern image data from the authentication server 3, the control unit of the user terminal 1 executes the pattern image data printing process (step SA8), and ends a series of processes. That is, the control unit of the user terminal 1 displays the received pattern image data on the display unit and controls the printer 2 to print the received pattern image data of the garbage collection service on one sheet of label printing paper. After that, the communication with the authentication server 3 via the network 5 is cut off, and a series of processing ends.
In this case, depending on the user's instruction, the control unit of the user terminal 1 may perform the following processing. That is, the control unit of the user terminal 1 temporarily stores (downloads) the pattern image data in the storage unit while the browser is running, and then disconnects the communication with the authentication server 3. Next, the control unit of the user terminal 1 reads the pattern image data from the storage unit and executes a pattern image data printing process.

Next, the user removes a piece of paper (service ticket) on which the pattern image data of the garbage collection service is printed from the label printing paper, attaches it to a closet to be collected as oversized garbage, and puts the closet at home. Put it in front. The garbage collection worker in the Aoyama Ward or the garbage collection worker of the garbage collector contracted to the Aoyama Ward boarded the garbage truck and arrived at the user's home or the like. throw into. Next, the garbage collection worker causes the scanner unit to read the pattern image data printed on the service ticket attached to the closet. Thereby, the control unit of the authentication terminal 4 executes a pattern image data conversion process (step SB1 in FIG. 3). That is, the control unit of the authentication terminal 4 converts the pattern image data printed on the service ticket and read by the scanner unit into conversion data (user address,
Name, type of oversized garbage, size and number, collection date, etc.)
Convert to

Next, the control section of the authentication terminal 4 executes a data inquiry process (step SB2). In other words, the control unit of the authentication terminal 4 converts the converted data (user address, name, type of oversized garbage,
The size, the number, the collection date, etc.) are transmitted to the authentication server 3 via the network 5 to check whether the service ticket is valid. The control unit of the authentication server 3 that has received the conversion data from the authentication terminal 4 executes a second authentication process (step SB3). That is, the control unit of the authentication server 3 determines whether or not the user can use the garbage collection service based on the conversion data transmitted from the authentication terminal 4 via the network 5. As a result of the second authentication processing, when the user is authenticated to be able to use the garbage collection service of the close, the authentication server 3
Transmits the authentication result to the authentication terminal 4 via the network 5 (step SB4).

The control unit of the authentication terminal 4 that has received the authentication result from the authentication server 3 displays the authentication result on the display unit. According to the authentication result displayed on the display unit of the authentication terminal 4, the garbage collection worker mounted the closet on the garbage collection vehicle, and then operated the keyboard and light pen of the authentication terminal 4 to complete the collection of the garbage. To the effect. This allows
After executing the service provision notifying process (step SB5), the control unit of the authentication server 3 ends a series of processes.
That is, the control unit of the authentication terminal 4 transmits the fact that the service has been provided to the user by the service ticket to the authentication server 3 via the network 5 and thereafter ends a series of processing. After receiving the service provision end from the authentication terminal 4, the control unit of the authentication server 3 executes the unauthorized use prevention process (step SB6), and ends a series of processes. In other words, the control unit of the authentication server 3 determines the attributes (user address, name, type of large garbage, size, size, etc.) of the service After storing the number, the collection completion date, and the like in the storage unit, the series of processing ends.

As described above, according to the configuration of this example, the user does not need to go to the convenience store as in the related art, and can obtain the service ticket for receiving the service while staying at home. Therefore, time and labor can be saved, which is convenient. Further, according to the configuration of this example, the user only needs to prepare the user terminal 1 and the printer 2, so that the
There is no need for an information processing device to which a C card can be attached, and there is versatility. Furthermore, according to the configuration of this example, since the authentication server 3 stores the attribute of the service ticket corresponding to the provided service in the storage unit, the service provider can prevent unauthorized use of the service ticket.
