(D) is a surface view of the prepaid card 2 peeled from the sheet 1 shown in (a), (e) is a cross-sectional view along BB ′ shown in (d), and (f) is shown in (d). 2 is a back view of the prepaid card 2. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the sheet 1 in this example has a book ID 3a and a PIN number 3c printed on one surface of a card base 2a, and a transparent film 5a is bonded on the surface via an adhesive 4a. The prepaid card 2 is configured such that the film 5a and the film 5b are detachably bonded to one surface of the base substrate 1a through the adhesive 4b and the film 5b so as to be peeled off. A temporary ID 3b and a POS code 3d for product management are printed on the opposite surface of the base substrate 1a.

  In the sheet 1 configured as described above, in a state where the prepaid card 2 is adhered to the base substrate 1a, the temporary ID 3b and the POS code 3d printed on the sheet 1 are visible from the outside, whereas the prepaid card The book ID 3a and PIN number 3c printed on 2 are concealed from the outside by the base substrate 1a. Further, when the prepaid card 2 is peeled off from the base substrate 1a, the book ID 3a and the PIN number 3c printed on the prepaid card 2 become visible from the outside.

  Below, the voucher information management method in the voucher information management system comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated.

  First, regarding the processing when the prepaid card 2 is sold at the store where the store terminals 10-1 to 10-n are installed, when the prepaid card 2 is sold at the store where the store terminals 10-1 are installed This process will be described as an example.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining processing when the prepaid card 2 is sold in the store where the store terminal 10-1 is installed in the voucher information management system shown in FIG.

  When the prepaid card 2 is sold at the store where the store terminal 10-1 is installed, the prepaid card 2 is sold in a state where it is peelably bonded to the sheet 1 as shown in FIG. The reader 12-1 reads the POS code 3d and the temporary ID 3b printed on the sheet 1 (step S1). At this time, as described above, the temporary ID 3b and the POS code 3d printed on the sheet 1 are visible from the outside, while the book ID 3a and the PIN number 3c printed on the prepaid card 2 are used for the base substrate 1a. Is hidden from the outside. Further, the sheet 1 to which the prepaid card 2 is bonded is suspended and sold by a hole 9 formed in the upper part.

  The POS code 3d and the temporary ID 3b read by the reader 12-1 are read by the POS terminal 11-1, and indicate that the sheet 1 is sold based on the read POS code 3c in the POS terminal 11-1. Sales information is transmitted (step S2) and received by the POS management server 30 via the dedicated line 20 (step S3). In the POS management server 30, the sales information transmitted from the POS terminal 11-1 is registered and managed in the POS management database 31 (step S4). Note that the transmission of sales information from the POS terminal 11-1 to the POS management server 30 is not limited to being performed in real time as described above, but may be performed at predetermined times.

  In the POS terminal 11-1, the temporary ID 3b read from the reader 12-1 and the sales amount of the prepaid card 2 are transmitted from the POS terminal 11-1 (step S5). Here, the sales amount of the prepaid card 2 is an available amount that becomes the voucher information of the prepaid card 2, and the POS code 3d printed on the sheet 1 is read by the reader 12-1, whereby the POS terminal 11- 1 may be recognized, or may be directly input to the POS terminal 11-1.

  The temporary ID 3b and the sales amount transmitted from the POS terminal 11-1 are received by the cash voucher information receiving unit 41 of the cash voucher information management server 40 via the dedicated line 20 (step S6).

  Then, in the voucher information management unit 42 of the voucher information management server 40, first, the voucher information database 45 is referred to, and the real ID registered and managed in association with the temporary ID 3b received by the voucher information reception unit 41 is set. Search is performed (step S7). Here, in the voucher information database 45, the temporary ID 3b printed on the sheet 1 is associated with the book ID 3a and the PIN number 3c printed on the prepaid card 2 that is bonded to the sheet 1 and sold. In addition, a flag indicating whether or not the prepaid card on which the real ID is printed is available is set.

  Thereafter, in the voucher information management unit 42, the prepaid card on which the searched book ID is printed is made available, and a flag indicating that the book ID can be used is set in the voucher information database 45. At the same time, the sales amount sent from the POS terminal 11-1 together with the temporary ID 3b is registered and managed in the voucher information database 45 in association with the present ID as voucher information that becomes the available amount of the prepaid card 2 ( Step S8). The voucher information registered in the voucher information database 45 is not set based on the sales amount sent from the POS terminal 11-1 together with the temporary ID 3b, but attached to the sheet 1 on which the temporary ID 3d is printed. Since the sales price of the prepaid card 2 is determined, it may be preliminarily registered in the voucher information database 45 in association with the temporary ID.

  In this way, when the prepaid card 2 is sold at the store where the store terminals 10-1 to 10-n are installed, the prepaid card 2 adhered to the sheet 1 becomes usable. A consumer who purchases the sheet 1 peels the prepaid card 2 from the base substrate 1 a and purchases a product or the like using the prepaid card 2. In addition, when the prepaid card 2 is peeled from the base substrate 1a, the book ID 3a and the PIN number 3c printed on the prepaid card 2 become visible from the outside.

  Next, the store terminal 10-2 is installed using the prepaid card 2 for processing when products etc. are sold at the store where the store terminals 10-1 to 10-n are installed using the prepaid card 2. An example of processing when a product is sold at a store will be described.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining processing when products etc. are sold using the prepaid card 2 in the store where the store terminal 10-2 is installed in the voucher information management system shown in FIG. .

  When a product or the like is sold at a store where the store terminal 10-2 is installed, the POS code printed on the product or the like is read by the reader 12-2 and further printed on the prepaid card 2 presented by the consumer. When the read book ID 3a is read by the reader 12-2 (step S11), the POS code read by the reader 12-2 and the book ID 3a are read by the POS terminal 11-2 and recognized by the POS code. The price of the product, etc., which is the amount of money to be used, and the book ID 3a are transmitted from the POS terminal 11-2 (step S12) and received by the cash voucher information reception unit 41 of the cash voucher information management server 40 via the dedicated line 20 (step S12). S13). Note that it is also conceivable that the price of the product and the ID 3a are transmitted from the POS terminal 11-2 to the voucher information management server 40 via the dedicated line 20 and the POS management server 30.

  When the POS code is read by the reader 12-2, sales information indicating that the product has been sold is received from the POS terminal 11-2 based on the POS code, as in the case of the sale of the prepaid card 2 described above. The sales information transmitted from the POS terminal 11-2 is registered in the POS management database 31 and managed by the POS management server 30 via the dedicated line 20.

  When the usage amount and the real ID transmitted from the POS terminal 11-2 are received by the voucher information reception unit 41, the voucher information management unit 42 refers to the voucher information database 45, and the voucher information reception unit 41 Whether or not the prepaid card 2 printed with the book ID 3a received by the certificate information receiving unit 41 is available is searched for the voucher information associated with the received book ID (step S14). The determination is made by checking whether or not a flag indicating that the state is available is set (step S15).

  When it is determined that the prepaid card 2 printed with the book ID 3a received by the voucher information receiving unit 41 is in a usable state, the prepaid card 2 is based on the voucher information retrieved from the voucher information database 45. Is compared with the usage amount received by the voucher information reception unit 41 (step S16), and when the usage balance of the prepaid card 2 is equal to or larger than the usage amount received by the voucher information reception unit 41, The usage amount received by the voucher information reception unit 41 is subtracted from the usage balance of the prepaid card 2 to update the usage balance of the prepaid card 2 (step S17), and the updated usage balance is the voucher information reception unit 41. (Step S18) and received and displayed by the POS terminal 11-2 via the dedicated line 20 (step S19).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the prepaid card 2 printed with the book ID 3a received by the voucher information receiving unit 41 is not usable, the prepaid card 2 is not usable. Is transmitted from the voucher information receiving unit 41 (step S20) and received and displayed by the POS terminal 11-2 via the dedicated line 20 (step S21).

  Further, as a result of the comparison in step S16, if the used balance of the prepaid card 2 is less than the used amount received by the voucher information receiving unit 41, it is indicated that the used balance of the prepaid card 2 is insufficient. (Step S22) and received and displayed by the POS terminal 11-2 via the dedicated line 20 (step S23).

  Thus, the consumer who purchased the prepaid card 2 purchases goods etc. using the prepaid card 2.

  Next, regarding the processing for inquiring the usage status of the prepaid card 2 registered in the cash voucher information database 45 in the user terminals 60-1 to 60-N, the user terminal 60-1 is registered in the cash voucher information database 45. A process for inquiring the usage status of the prepaid card 2 will be described as an example.
