The present invention has been made in view of the above background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a system capable of reliably and at low cost backing up and restoring registered data stored in a portable terminal.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and a network communication means for performing communication via a network and a portable communication means for performing communication between a portable terminal in which a unique terminal code is stored. And a card reader capable of inputting a card number from a payment card in which a unique card number is stored, and data input means for inputting data by a user's operation. The present invention relates to a system for performing a backup process and a restore process of registered data stored in the portable terminal device by an open terminal device.
[0010]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, an open terminal device having a user interface such as a display and a touch panel is installed in a public place such as a convenience store or a station yard. The open terminal device is communicably connected to various servers via a network, and provides various services to users through the server, such as issuing concerts, movie tickets, and printing digital cameras.
[0011]
In such an open terminal device, a card reader for a payment card such as a credit card or a debit card is provided in order for the user to pay for the service. It also has a cable that can be connected to the connector of the mobile phone, and has a function of providing a service of transferring a ringtone or standby screen data to the mobile phone by connecting the cable to the user's own mobile phone. Terminal devices have also become widespread.
[0012]
Therefore, using such an open terminal device having a data communication function with a mobile phone, the registered data such as telephone directory data stored in the mobile phone is uploaded to a data storage server connected to a network and the personal data is uploaded. It is conceivable that the usage data is backed up and when the mobile phone is lost, the registered data stored in the data storage server is downloaded to a new mobile phone to restore the registered data.
[0013]
Then, when backing up and restoring the registration data of the mobile phone using the open terminal device, the user can save the registration data at a lower cost than purchasing a commercially available data backup application or storage medium. It is expected that backup and restoration will be possible. In addition, when backing up registered data by a data storage server, it is common to increase the reliability of data storage by multiplexing storage devices or the like, so that the possibility of lost registered data due to a failure of a storage medium is reduced. It is expected.
[0014]
However, since the open terminal device can be used by anyone, it was stored on the data storage server by anyone other than the user who uploaded the registration data of the mobile phone to the data storage server and backed up the registered data. It is necessary to prevent the registration data from being illegally downloaded.
[0015]
Therefore, in the present invention, first, a user who has a payment card and a mobile terminal inputs the card number of the payment card using the card reader, and backs up the registration data stored in the mobile terminal. When the open terminal device instructs the validity confirmation server for confirming the validity of the payment card, the open terminal device sends confirmation request data for inquiring about the validity of the payment card to which the card number is assigned. A first step of transmitting via a network communication means, the open terminal device transmits, from the validity confirmation server, confirmation OK data indicating that the payment card to which the card number is assigned is valid, through the network communication Registration data of the portable terminal received from the portable terminal via the portable communication means when received via the portable communication means. Is associated with the terminal code of the mobile terminal and the card number of the payment card received from the mobile terminal via the mobile communication means, and the network communication means is stored in a data storage server that stores the mobile registration data. And a third step in which the data storage server stores the registration data associated with the terminal code and the card number received from the open terminal device via the network. And performing a data backup process.
[0016]
According to such a data back process, when the validity of the payment card is confirmed in the first step, and when the validity of the payment card is confirmed and the user is specified in the second step, The registration data stored in the portable terminal is transmitted to the data storage server in association with the terminal code unique to the portable terminal and the card number unique to the payment card. Then, in the third step, the registration data transmitted to the data storage server is stored in association with the terminal code and the card number.
[0017]
Then, when the user who has the payment card and the portable terminal reads the card number of the payment card by the card reader and instructs the portable terminal to restore the registration data, A terminal code of the mobile terminal received from the mobile terminal via the mobile communication means or a terminal code input by a user operating the data input means, and a card number of the payment card; A fourth step of transmitting to the data storage server via the network communication means and requesting download of registration data associated with the terminal code and the card number; and From the terminal code and the registration data associated with the card number received from the A fifth step of transmitting, when the registration data associated with the card number is found, the found registration data to the open terminal device, the registration data received by the open terminal device from the data storage server; And a data restoration process comprising transmitting a data to the portable terminal via the portable communication means.
[0018]
According to the data restoration process, in the fourth step, the card number of the payment card possessed by the user who intends to restore the registration data to the portable terminal, and the terminal code of the portable terminal possessed by the user Alternatively, the terminal code input by the operation of the data input unit by the user is transmitted from the open terminal device to the data storage server. Then, according to the fifth step, the registration data is downloaded to the open terminal device only when the registration data associated with the terminal code and the card number is stored in the data storage server. In step 6, the downloaded registration data is transmitted from the open terminal device to the portable terminal device.
[0019]
Therefore, in order to restore the registration data from the open terminal device, first, the user must have the payment card used at the time of performing the backup processing of the registration data. Further, the user has a portable terminal storing the terminal code stored in the portable terminal used when the backup process was performed, or the user performed the backup process. It is necessary to know the terminal code stored in the portable terminal used at that time.
[0020]
The data restoration process can be performed only by the user who satisfies these conditions (it is assumed to be the person who performed the backup process), and other users cannot restore the registered data. . Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the registered data of the portable terminal from being stolen by another person other than the person who performed the backup processing of the registered data.
[0021]
Note that when the user restores the registration data to the portable terminal used when the backup process was performed, and when the user restores the registration data to a separate portable terminal that has inherited and stored the terminal code of the portable terminal. To do so, the terminal code may be received by the portable communication means. On the other hand, when restoring registration data to a portable terminal that is separate from the portable terminal used when the user performed the backup process and that has not inherited and stored the terminal code, The user only has to input the terminal code of the portable terminal used at the time of performing the backup processing by the data input means.
[0022]
Further, in the fifth step of the data restoration process, when no registered data associated with the terminal code and the card number is found, the data storage server sets the terminal code and the card number to At least one of them is stored as data for specifying an unauthorized accessor.
[0023]
According to the present invention, in the fifth step, when no registration data associated with the terminal code of the portable terminal and the card number of the payment card is found, the registered data other than the person who performed the data backup process is not found. It is highly probable that the user accessed the open terminal device using his or her own portable terminal or payment card for the purpose of stealing the registered data of another person. Therefore, in this case, the data storage server stores at least one of the terminal code of the mobile terminal used and the card number of the payment card as identification data of an unauthorized accessor.
[0024]
Then, by inquiring the terminal code of the stored mobile terminal to the administrator of the mobile terminal and by inquiring the card number of the stored payment card to the administrator of the payment card, the unauthorized access Can be specified. In this manner, by specifying the unauthorized access person, it is possible to actually control the unauthorized access person, and by allowing the user of the open terminal apparatus to recognize in advance that the unauthorized access person is identified, Deterrence is expected to work.
[0025]
Further, the open terminal device includes a ticket reader for inputting data stored in a ticket that can be used as a price for use of the open terminal device, and a distribution source as a price for the data backup process or the data restore process. When the ticket storing the distribution source code capable of specifying the ticket is used, the distribution source code input by the ticket reader is managed via the network communication unit, and the ticket management unit manages the use result of the ticket. The ticket management server transmits to the server, the ticket management server creates, based on the distribution source code received from the open terminal device, consideration billing data in which the actual use of the ticket is totaled for each distribution source of the ticket, and And transmitting the charge request data to the distribution source to the terminal device.
[0026]
According to the present invention, the ticket distributor only has to pay a fee corresponding to the billing data created based on the actual performance of the actually used tickets among the distributed tickets. Therefore, for example, when distributing the ticket as a service to a purchaser at a mobile terminal retailer, the retailer does not need to pay for the distributed ticket in advance, and the distributed ticket is actually used among the distributed tickets. You only have to pay for the tickets you have purchased.
[0027]
Thereby, the store can perform the service to the purchaser by distributing the ticket at a low cost, so that the distribution of the ticket is promoted, and the data back process by the open terminal device using the ticket is performed. The effect of disseminating the use of the data restoration process can be obtained.
[0028]
