[0003]

As a combination of applications stored in a multi-application compatible IC card, for example, a storage capacity of an IC card such as a bank application, a credit card application and a point application of a shopping mall. Due to the limitation of the above, it was initially limited to the minimum combination of related applications. However, if IC cards compatible with multiple applications become popular, various applications such as credit card applications, electronic money applications, point services in shopping districts, and welfare-related point services in local governments will be loaded into a single IC card. Like In addition, as the storage capacity of IC cards has increased, the issuer of the IC card that stores the main application that plays the role of ID in companies and administrations, such as employee ID IC cards and administrative IC cards, will be There is also a business model that sells some of the products, and in some cases, applications that are completely unrelated to the main application are loaded. As a result, the user cannot grasp all the applications in the card, and there arises a problem that an application that is not often used by the user is loaded in the IC card. As an application provider,
Even if you spend a lot of money to purchase the memory area in the card and load the application, it is meaningless if it is not used so much.

[0004]

Therefore, in the present invention, in the information providing system, the user can obtain information corresponding to a plurality of applications stored in the IC card, that is, notification information such as advertisement of the application issuer by the user.
It is provided when the C card is used. Specifically, when the terminal uses an IC card storing a plurality of applications to process one application, the terminal transmits the application list stored in the IC card to the information providing server, and the information providing server receives the application list. The notification data corresponding to the application list is retrieved, transmitted to the terminal, and displayed on the display means of the terminal.
In addition, the ID for identifying the card and the application list stored in the card are stored in the information providing server, and the terminal stores a plurality of applications.
When processing one application using the C card, the card ID is transmitted to the information providing server, and the notification data corresponding to the application list stored in the card is retrieved using the card ID received by the information providing server. Then, the notification data is transmitted to the terminal and the notification data is displayed on the display means of the terminal.

FIG. 3 shows a notification list database 113 provided in the information providing server 110. In this embodiment, "application ID", "priority",
It is a database consisting of "contents of notification". The “application ID” is an ID that uniquely indicates an application according to ISO-7816. In the figure, names such as "Aloha Bank" are shown in parentheses for clarity. The “priority” indicates which is prioritized and notified when an application having a plurality of notification contents exists. It is displayed in five levels from 1 to 5, and the higher the number, the higher the priority. If there are a plurality of applications in the card and only one application can be announced at a time, the notification data of the application with the highest priority is presented. If a plurality of notification data can be displayed, the notification data may be presented in descending order of priority. The “notification content”, which is the notification data, indicates the content presented to the user when the user inserts the IC card into the terminal 100. For example, Aloha Bank has a priority of “2” and the content of the announcement is “Interest rate 2% if the bonus is scheduled regularly”. ABC Credit has a priority of “3” and the content of the announcement is “Use more than 50,000 yen this month. And, a lottery will win a trip to Italy! " Similarly,
Dolphin Money has a priority of "1" and the content of the announcement is "It can be used even in the coral supermarket." The dolphin mall point service has a priority of "4" and the content of the announcement is "Dolphin store now." Campaign for doubling points in town! "

Next, the flow of information provision in this system will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, for example, a case of applying for the issuance of a resident card at a kiosk terminal or the like of a ward office will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal 100
First, main processing 401 is performed. FIG. 5 shows an example of a screen displayed on the output means of the terminal at this time, and 201 to 204 in FIG. 5 are screens displayed in the main processing 401. The output means 103 shown in FIG. 1 displays images and characters and outputs sounds and the like.

In FIG. 5, the screen 201 displayed on the output means 103 is the "ward office service menu".
The following is a list of services provided by the ward office. In 201,
Menus such as "issuance of various certificates" and "reservation of facilities" are displayed. When “Issue various certificates” is selected on the screen 201, a list of certificates to be issued such as “copy of family register (extract)” and “resident's card” is presented on the screen 202. On screen 202, "Copy of family register (extract)"
When is selected, the screen transitions to the screen 203. Here, a message prompting the user to insert an IC card, such as "Please insert the ward inhabitant ID card", is displayed in addition to confirming the identity of the client who requests the issuance of the family register copy. A ward ID card is, for example, an administrative IC card issued by a ward office, which is a card issued as part of the basic resident register system. In 203, the user selects the I of the terminal 100.
When the ward ID card 130 is inserted into the CC R / W 106, the control means 101 of the terminal 100 reads out the ward office service program from the plurality of applications stored in the IC card and identifies the user stored in the IC card. ID number to be read. The ID number that identifies the user refers to a unique number such as a basic pension number or an insurance policy number. Here, the terminal 100 is
Although not shown in FIG. 1, the database is connected to a database server that manages data related to the family register, such as a ward office database, and the family register data corresponding to the read ID is searched for, and the corresponding data is output to the output unit 103. indicate. The screen 204 shows the searched family register data, for example, "Tanaka
Family registers such as "Hanako Tanaka" are listed in the family register, which is headed by "Taro". The user selects, from the displayed family register data, to whom information is to be delivered, and selects, for example, “Hanako Tanaka”. At 205, the user receives the family register data of “Hanako Tanaka” selected on the screen 204.

In step 402 of FIG. 4, when the issuing process of the family register is completed, the control means of the terminal 100 determines that the main process is completed, and the ICC R / W 106 reads the application list. Specifically, I
The DIR file is selected using the Select File command defined in SO7816, and the MF is moved to the DIR file in the IC card. And, similarly, Read DIR Re defined in ISO7816
The list information in the DIR file is checked with the cord command to read the application list stored in the IC card. In step 403, the application list of the IC card read out by the control means 101 of the terminal 100, in particular, an application ID for identifying an application in the application list is transmitted to the information providing server 110. The address indicating the access destination of the information providing server is stored in the storage unit 105 of the terminal, and the information providing server is accessed according to this address.

Next, in step 501, the terminal 10
The application list transmitted from 0 is received via the communication unit 111 of the information providing server 110. For example, when the application list shown in FIG. 2C is received, the user's IC card is mainly a bank ATM.
Bank application "Aloha Bank" used for credit card payment, "ABC Credit" which is a credit application used for credit settlement, "Dolphin Money" which is an electronic money application, "Dolphin Shopping Center Point Service" which is a point service application for local shopping streets. Although not shown, it can be seen that a ward administration service program, which is the main program, is stored. Since the terminal 100 provides the ward administration service, if the information provision is not necessary, the application ID of the ward administration service may not be sent. In step 502, the control means 112 of the information providing server 110 searches the announcement list database 113 for the announcement data having the highest priority among the announcement data corresponding to the received application list.

For example, when the notification list database 113 of the application shown in FIG. 3 is used, the highest priority is "4".
It turns out that it is a dolphin mall point service.
In step 503, the control means 112 of the information providing server 110 transmits the notification data retrieved by the communication means 111, “currently doubling point campaign in dolphin mall!” To the terminal 110.

In step 404, the control means 101 of the terminal 100 waits for the notification data corresponding to the application list transmitted in step 403 to be sent from the information providing server. When the notification data is received, in step 405, the received notification data is displayed on the output means 103. For example, in FIG.
3, 205 of the control means 101 of the terminal 100
Causes output means 103 to display a message telling you that the processing such as "Thank you for using" has been completed, and "Point 2 at the dolphin mall right now"
Double campaign! Message is displayed.

Although not particularly described in the present embodiment, when registering the notification data, the administrator of the information providing server receives the registration fee or the admission fee from the issuer of the application that registers the notification data. A business model may be introduced in which membership fees are collected by some means. In that case, the advertisement data to be paid may be set higher by registering the notification data having a higher priority and the notification data having a longer notification period. In addition, after step 503 in FIG. 4, the number of times the notification data is actually displayed on the terminal is counted and the advertisement amount for each advertiser is calculated, and
By sending the bill to the advertiser's terminal via the Internet every month, the information providing server can charge the advertiser's terminal a fee corresponding to the advertisement. In addition,
It goes without saying that the fee may be collected by some means using other fee systems.

Further, in the present embodiment, the notification list database 113 is composed of data such as "application ID", "priority", "contents of notification", etc., but in addition to this, "notification period" and other data. May be added. Of course, the information providing database may determine the display order according to another parameter different from the priority data. For example, in this embodiment, the priority data is used to determine the order in which the notification data is displayed. However, in addition to this, the location where the terminal 100 is installed is transmitted to the information providing server 110 together with the application ID. Then, the information providing server 110 preferentially selects the notification data of the store near the location of the terminal 100, and the terminal 1
The display may be displayed at 00. With this configuration, effective notification can be made. Further, the user data read out by the terminal 100 is transmitted to the information providing server 110 together with the application ID, and if the access date is the birthday of the user data or the birthday is near, the birthday service Select the notification data of the store or trader that performs
It can also be displayed at 0. Further, when the information providing server 110 uses the gender of the user data and the female half price service day of the store having the access date is selected, the notification data of the store or the trader performing the service is preferentially selected, It can also be displayed on the terminal 100. Further, in the case of an electronic money application, a purchase history may remain, so the purchase history is transmitted to the information providing server 110, and the information providing server 110 uses the purchase history to provide notification data that suits the user's taste. It can also be selected preferentially.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the information providing server 11
A means for updating the notification list database 113 of 0 will be described. Updating the notification list database 113 means changing the “priority” data and the “notification content” data corresponding to the application ID in the notification list of FIG. In step 601, the ID for the advertiser to access the notification list database 113 using the input means 124 of the information registration terminal 120.
And enter the password. In step 602, I
If D and the password are approved, the information provision list can be updated in step 603. For the approval of the ID and password, the input ID and password are confirmed with reference to the authentication list.

FIG. 7 shows an authentication list. The ID list includes parameters such as “ID”, “password”, and “level”, for example. As the “ID”, an application ID may be used to manage the access right of the information provision list for each application, or the same application may be issued by using an ID for identifying a person, not for each application. Even in the institution, the access right to the information provision list may be managed for each person. The "password" manages the "password" corresponding to the "ID". When the entered “ID” and “password” do not match the combination of “ID” and “password” managed in the authentication list, access to the information provision list is denied. Although not particularly described in this embodiment, the “ID” and the “password” are
Data of "ID" and "password" can be read by others,
Protect by using measures that prevent leakage. "level"
Indicates the level of right to access the information provision list. For example, the access right level for “A000123” with “ID” is readable but not updateable. Similarly, if the “ID” is “A0001
The level of access right to 78 "is set so that reading and updating of the information provision list are possible.

The embodiment has been described above in which a public terminal such as a kiosk terminal is used to directly connect to the information providing server from the terminal. In the present embodiment, the case where the terminal stores the address of the information providing destination in the storage means 105 of the information providing server 110 has been described, but the IC card internally includes the address of the information providing server, “information providing server access”. A configuration of connecting to the information providing server by holding the "application" may be adopted. In that case, the “information providing server access application” in the IC card uses the delegation function (function of linking to another application) from the application in the same IC card or in another IC card. An access application (an application that manages the address of the information providing server and implements a connection means to the information providing server) may be started. In this case, the application having the delegation function for the “information providing server application” may collect a fee from an organization or the like that operates the information providing server 110 as a consideration for cooperation by some means.

Further, in the present embodiment, the terminal 100 is configured to read the application ID and send it to the information providing server, but in addition to this, the notification corresponding to the application in the IC card is also made by the following method. Data can be provided. IC card 130
May be a resident card issued by the ward office mentioned above, a credit card issued and managed by a credit company, or a bank card issued by a bank.In such a case, the credit company, etc. An IC card equipped with an application is provided to the user. That is, the credit company and the like know the user data, the ID of the IC card issued to the user, and the application installed in the card. In such a case, the information providing server is operated by a credit company, and the information providing server is I
It further comprises a database of a card ID for identifying the C card, user data, and an application list mounted on the card. Therefore, in the above embodiment, the main processing (step 4 in FIG. 4) is performed in the terminal 100 such as a credit terminal for payment at a store or an ATM at a bank.
After performing step 02), the application list was read in step 403, but the card ID, not the application list, is read together with the access destination information and transmitted to the information providing server 110. The information providing server 110 can search the application list using the card ID and search the announcement data. Subsequent processing is the same as in the above embodiment. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to provide the notification data corresponding to the application in the IC card. First, the card ID
However, it is troublesome to store the application list stored in the card, but there is an advantage that the communication data can be reduced because the data to be transmitted is only the card ID. Further, at that time, the information providing server 110 records the use frequency of each application together with the list of the applications in the IC card, so that the notification data of the application having a low use frequency can be transmitted to the terminal. .

Next, referring to FIG. 8, an embodiment will be described in which notification data is received from the information providing server 110 when a WEB browser accesses any WEB site, such as a personal computer at home, a mobile terminal, or a television. To do.

From the terminal 100, the user, for example, the server A (800), the server B (810), the server C (82)
0) or the like to access a web site and provide a service for performing some processing on the IC card, those web sites (800 to 820) connect the terminal 100 to the information providing server. A function for automatically redirecting to 110 is provided. Then, the information providing server reads the application list of the IC card 101 inserted in the ICC R / W 106 of the terminal 100, and searches the notification list database 113 for the notification data corresponding to the list read from the IC card 101. It can be transmitted to the terminal 100. In this embodiment also, as described above, the information providing server 1
If 10 stores the card ID and the application ID stored on that card, the application I
By transmitting the card ID instead of D from the terminal to the information providing server, the notification data corresponding to the information providing server 110 can be transmitted to the terminal 100.

Further, not only the servers 800 to 820 are redirected to the information providing server 110, but at that time, the data of the application list which the servers 800 to 820 have already read from the IC card 101 and held are simultaneously transmitted to the information providing server. By transmitting, the information providing server 110 may retrieve notification data corresponding to the received application list from the notification list database 113 and transmit it to the terminal 100.

Further, when redirecting from the external servers 800 to 820 to the information providing server, the operator of the information providing server pays the operator of the servers 800 to 820 for the redirection. ,
You may pay the fee by some means. Regarding the fee, whether the server pays for setting the redirect function to the information providing server or the number of times the server redirects to the information providing server 110,
The payment system may be added at other timings.

Further, in this embodiment, the notification data is managed by the information providing server 110, but the servers such as the server A (800) to the server C (820) each have their own notification data in their own servers. You may have. In that case, for example, when the user accesses the server A from the terminal 100 and performs the process on the IC card 101 from the server A, the server A (800) that has read the application list of the IC card 101 displays the I
When the application ID related to the server C is found in the application list in the C card 101, the server C may be notified of that fact. The server A may redirect the access from the user to the server C, and the server C, which receives the notification from the server, sends the notification data of itself to the terminal 100, or the notification data of the server C by other means. May be presented to the user. In that case,
The operator of the server C may pay a fee to the operator of the server A for some kind of redirection or notification by some means.

In this embodiment, by providing an information providing server and managing the information providing list, it is possible to present the notification data corresponding to the application ID. However, if the information providing server is not provided, For example, the terminal may take the form of reading the application list of the IC card and presenting only the application list to the output means.

In the present embodiment, the information providing server manages the announcement data corresponding to the application ID of the IC card, but in addition to this, the announcement data corresponding to the application included in the terminal and the medium such as DVD are included. It is also possible to manage the notification data relating to the applications and contents to be stored, the notification data corresponding to other lists held by the terminal, the medium, or another mobile phone, and provide the notification data regarding them.

In the present embodiment, the terminal is a kiosk terminal or the like installed in a ward office, a convenience store, or the like, but if the IC card reader / writer is connected to the terminal, a personal computer or a portable terminal Alternatively, it may be a home TV or other terminal.

In the present embodiment, the notification related to the stored application is given. However, in addition to this, according to the age of the family confirmed by referring to the database of the ward office, for example, a 3-year-old child. If you have a family with "3 next month
The content may be announced according to the family structure, such as "year-old child screening will be performed."

Further, in the present embodiment, the notification data has been described as being presented on the output means 103 of the terminal 100. However, in addition to this, the paper on which the notification data is printed is output or the mail address registered by the user is used. Notification data may be transmitted or another notification means may be used. Other,
