TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a settlement method and apparatus using a non-contact IC card, and in particular, in the case of performing settlement processing continuously using the same non-contact IC card, confirming the intention of the customer, The present invention relates to a settlement method and a settlement apparatus using a non-contact IC card which surely prevents unintended double settlement.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, with the progress of cashless and the spread of electronic money, service systems and apparatuses for performing payment processing using IC cards in various fields have been provided.
[0003]
There are two types of IC cards: non-contact type IC cards that exchange data between the IC card and the IC card reader / writer device in a non-contact type, and contact type IC cards that perform a contact type. The non-contact type IC card is receiving more attention from the viewpoint of convenience and the like.
[0004]
As a service system using an IC card, for example, in a ticket vending machine and an automatic ticket gate at a station, in a supermarket, a convenience store, or an employee cafeteria, a payment process for a product purchased by a user using a contactless IC card. A service system has been proposed.
[0005]
In the case of performing payment processing using an IC card, a prepaid (prepaid) method for subtracting a transaction amount from balance amount data recorded on the IC card, and a customer information recorded on the IC card using an IC card reader / writer device There is a post-payment settlement method that stores and manages the read customer information and transaction amount data and debits the transaction amount from a salary or a designated account. These settlement processes are performed by an IC card and an IC card reader / writer device. Is made possible by communicating and exchanging information.
[0006]
By the way, a non-contact type IC card obtains electric power from an antenna coil incorporated in the non-contact type IC card by applying a predetermined electromagnetic field to the non-contact type IC card, and applies the power to an LSI chip of the non-contact type IC card. It operates by a so-called electromagnetic induction system that transmits a unique radio wave corresponding to the recorded data.
[0007]
Therefore, the communication between the non-contact type IC card and the IC card reader / writer becomes possible by satisfying certain conditions such as the distance and the position between the non-contact type IC card and the IC card reader / writer. Exchange is performed.
[0008]
When the user brings the non-contact type IC card close to (hover) the IC card reader / writer device to a predetermined distance, the IC card reader / writer device reads data recorded on the non-contact type IC card, and performs various operations based on the read data. Payment processing is performed.
[0009]
However, as described above, since the conditions such as the communication distance and the positional relationship at which data can be exchanged between the IC card reader / writer device and the non-contact type IC card cannot be known to the customer, After the customer holds the non-contact type IC card over the IC card reader / writer and performs the settlement processing, the customer mistakenly brings the IC card close to the IC card reader / writer, and unintended settlement processing is repeatedly performed. Settlement) occurs.
[0010]
Such a problem is particularly serious in a self-service store, a cafeteria, and the like in which a customer himself holds a non-contact type IC card over an IC card reader / writer to settle the price of a product.
[0011]
As a method for solving such a problem, for example, an IC card reader / writer device recognizes an identification number (card identification number) unique to a non-contact IC card, and has the same card identification number after payment processing. A method is considered in which the settlement process is not performed in the case where the is held up.
[0012]
However, while this method can prevent unintended double payments, if the customer wants to pay for both the product purchased by himself and the product purchased by his companion, When intentional repetitive payment is performed, such as when a plurality of purchases are desired, there is a problem that the same non-contact IC card cannot be used for payment.
[0013]
Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, a magnetic card insertion space using a sensor of a light emitting element or a light receiving element is provided separately from an insertion port for reading data recorded on a magnetic card. A magnetic card reader device has been proposed in which the magnetic card reader device is configured to cancel the magnetic card reader prohibition operation twice consecutively by the magnetic card reader device and perform the second magnetic card reading and settlement processing. ing.
[0014]

JP-A-03-220693
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the magnetic card reader device proposed above is provided with a magnetic card insertion space using a sensor of a light emitting element or a light receiving element separately from an insertion port for reading data recorded on the magnetic card, and using the same magnetic card. In the case of repeatedly performing the settlement, it is necessary to insert the magnetic card into the magnetic card insertion space and cancel the magnetic card reading prohibition operation that has been performed twice consecutively.
[0015]
The operation of inserting a magnetic card into the magnetic card insertion space requires a different operation from the normal operation of inserting a magnetic card into the insertion slot for reading data recorded on the magnetic card and performing settlement. In addition, operability when repeatedly performing settlement using the same magnetic card becomes complicated.
[0016]
In addition, it is necessary to provide a magnetic card insertion space using a sensor of a light emitting element or a light receiving element in addition to an insertion port for reading data recorded on a magnetic card. Had the problem of becoming
