Description

  The present invention relates to a receipt issuing system for issuing a receipt to a consumer based on a request from a store (company) that sells a product or a store (company) that provides a service.

  Conventionally, when a product is purchased at a store, or when a service is provided, a consumer requests the store to issue a receipt when paying for the product or service. A receipt was issued and filled out on the designated form on the spot. In addition, when a product or the like is purchased through the network, that is, when an electronic commerce is performed through the network, settlement is performed by a credit card, bank transfer, or the like. For this reason, a consumer (a purchaser of a product or the like) has separately requested a store (a seller of the product or the like) on the network to issue a receipt. And the receipt (electronic receipt) issued based on the request | requirement from a consumer was transmitted to the consumer via the network, for example. There are also stores that mail paper receipts. However, because of the cost of issuing and sending receipts, there are many stores that have declared in advance that no receipts will be issued. It was not.

  By the way, many of the conventional electronic receipts are generally issued for confirmation in order to improve the safety of transactions. For example, the employee pays the employee's own expenses related to corporate activities. The secondary use as a proof of the correctness of the receipt at the time and an attached document of the tax return was not considered. In addition, if each store has an electronic receipt attached with an electronic signature that proves the validity of the receipt in consideration of secondary use, the format of the electronic receipt varies from store to store. There was a problem that the process of confirming the validity of the electronic receipt could not be performed uniformly. These problems are thought to be the main factors that hinder the spread of electronic receipts. In addition, when the confirmation destination for confirming the validity of the electronic receipt is different for each store, the confirmation of the validity of the electronic receipt must be requested from each confirmation destination. It was necessary to perform a correct process.

  Further, as in the electronic receipt issuing system described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, confirmation of the validity of the electronic receipt is requested using an electronic mail, and the operator performs a predetermined process based on the request. When the confirmation result is returned, there is a problem that the validity of the electronic receipt cannot be quickly confirmed. That is, the electronic receipt issuing system described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is a system that issues an electronic receipt and confirms the validity of the issued electronic receipt, that is, a system that authenticates the electronic receipt. In other words, it is difficult to perform quick authentication, and there is a problem in that a large cost is required for securing an operator.

Further, the data storage unit 20 stores a receipt issuance request, for example, a receipt issuance request for requesting the issuance of a receipt transmitted from the store system 6a. Furthermore, for example, a message used when connection (login) to the receipt issuing system 2 is not approved (login is rejected), that is, a login impossible notification or a receipt sent when login is approved. Information on a screen for requesting issuance is stored in the data storage unit 20.

  FIG. 6 is a block configuration diagram of the store system 6a according to the embodiment of the present invention. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the store system 6 a includes a data control unit 30 that controls data processing in the store system 6 a. The data control unit 30 is connected to a communication control unit 32 that controls communication with the receipt issuing system 2 and an input unit 34 that inputs a store ID and the like when connecting to the receipt issuing system 2. The data control unit 30 is connected to a data storage unit 36 for storing sales information of products in the online shopping service and a display unit 38 for displaying receipts issued in the receipt issuing system 2.

  The data storage unit 36 stores the sales information, that is, the name of the consumer (product purchaser) who is the sales destination of the product, the contact information (for example, the destination of the purchased product), the sales price, the sales date, and the sales. Information on the merchandise that has been selected is stored. In addition, since the structure of the store system 6b and the store system 6c is the same structure as the structure of the store system 6a, description is abbreviate | omitted. Further, store A uses store system 6a, store B uses store system 6b, and store C uses store system 6c.

  Next, with reference to a flowchart of FIG. 7, a receipt issuing process by the receipt issuing system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following, a case where the store A requests the receipt issuing system 2 to issue a receipt will be described as an example.

  First, the store A is connected (logged in) to the receipt issuing system 2 when, for example, a consumer who has purchased a product using the online shopping service provided by the store A is requested to issue a receipt. Then, it issues a receipt based on the sales information stored in the data storage unit 36. That is, first, in order to log in to the receipt issuing system 2, the store ID and password of the store A are input via the input unit 34 of the store system 6a, and the input store ID and password are input via the communication control unit 32. Sent to the receipt issuing system 2.

  In the receipt issuing system 2, the store ID and password of the store A transmitted from the store system 6a are received via the communication control unit 12 (see step S10, FIG. 6), and the received store ID and password, The store ID and password stored in the information storage unit 14 are collated (step S11). That is, it is confirmed that the store A is requesting the login to the receipt issuing system 2 by collating the store ID and the password.

  If the received store ID and password and the store ID and password stored in the store information storage unit 14 do not match (step S12), the login to the receipt issuing system 2 is not approved. Is sent to the store system 6a (step S13). For example, a login failure notification such as “Store ID or password is different” stored in the data storage unit 20 is transmitted to the store system 6 a via the communication control unit 12.

  In the store system 6a, a login failure notification is received via the communication control unit 32, and the received login failure notification is displayed on the display unit 38. For example, after confirming the store ID and password, the store ID and password are input again and transmitted to the receipt issuing system 2.

  On the other hand, when the received store ID and password are matched with the store ID and password stored in the store information storage unit 14 (step S12), a receipt issued from the store system 6a is issued. A request is received (step S14). That is, a receipt issue request including sales information indicating the address of the receipt, proviso, amount, date, etc., transmitted from the store system 6 a is received via the communication control unit 12. The received receipt issuance request is stored in the data storage unit 20 in association with the store ID.

  Next, a receipt is issued based on the received receipt issuance request (step S15). That is, the electronic signature of the store A is extracted from the electronic signature storage unit 16, and the receipt information of the receipt used by the store A and the authentication procedure information indicating the authentication interface related to the authentication of the receipt issued by the store A are received. Extracted from the book storage unit 18. Then, based on the sales information included in the receipt issuance request stored in the data storage unit 20 and the extracted electronic signature, receipt information, and authentication procedure information, the receipt to which the electronic signature and the authentication procedure information are added. Issue a certificate.

  Next, the issued receipt is stored in the data storage unit 20 in association with the store ID of the store A (step S16). The issued receipt is transmitted to the store system 6a via the communication control unit 12 (step S17).

  In the store system 6a, the receipt transmitted from the receipt issuing system 2 is received via the communication control unit 32, and the received receipt is stored in the data storage unit 36. Then, for example, the receipt issued by the receipt issuing system 2, for example, the receipt shown in FIG. 4 is attached to the e-mail to the consumer terminal (not shown) used by the consumer who has requested the issuance of the receipt. Then send. For example, the receipt stored in the data storage unit 36 is stored in a flexible disk via a flexible disk drive (not shown) of the store system 6a, and mailed together with the product on which the flexible disk storing the receipt is sold. You may make it send to a consumer.

  In the receipt issuing system 2, if the receipt issue request received in step S14 shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 includes destination information indicating the destination of the issued receipt, the receipt is issued. A receipt may be transmitted from the letter issuing system 2 to the consumer. For example, when the receipt issuance request includes destination information such as the consumer's e-mail address, the receipt issued to the destination indicated by the destination information may be transmitted. .

  In the receipt issuing system 2, a receipt issuance specification is created for each predetermined period based on the receipt stored in the data storage unit 20. For example, on the basis of the receipt stored in the data storage unit 20 corresponding to the store ID of the store A, a receipt issuance detail indicating the details of the receipt issued by the store A at the end of the month is created. Sent to system 6a. Note that each store can arbitrarily set the period for generating the receipt issuance details, and the set period is stored in the store information storage unit 14 in association with the store ID.

  The consumer who has received the receipt, for example, the consumer who has received the receipt transmitted from the store system 6a or the receipt issuing system 2 through the network 4 at the consumer terminal (not shown), The document may be submitted to a third party. For example, the receipt received at the consumer terminal may be stored on a flexible disk, and the receipt may be submitted by submitting the flexible disk to a company where the consumer is working. Further, for example, the receipt may be submitted to the company by sending an e-mail with the receipt attached to the e-mail address of the company designated in advance. Further, for example, a receipt may be submitted by submitting a flexible disk storing the receipt to the tax office at the time of final filing. That is, if the electronic signature embedded in the receipt has the legal effect stipulated in the Electronic Signature / Certification Act, and the tax office submits the receipt stored on the flexible disk, That is, when the so-called electronic receipt is allowed instead of the paper receipt, the receipt issued in the receipt issuing system 2 may be submitted to the tax office as described above. Further, for example, when the tax office approves a procedure such as final return via the network, a receipt may be transmitted to the tax office system via the network.

  The company or tax office that submitted the receipt confirms the validity of the receipt, that is, the receipt was issued by a legitimate issuer, based on the authentication procedure information embedded in the receipt. Therefore, it is possible to request the receipt issuing system 2 to authenticate the receipt. That is, since the authentication procedure information using WSDL is incorporated in the receipt issued in the receipt issuing system 2, the receipt can be authenticated using the authentication procedure information. For example, in a corporate system (not shown), when the “authentication” button displayed together with the receipt is selected using a pointing device such as a mouse when the receipt is displayed on the display unit, WSDL is displayed. Based on the authentication procedure information incorporated by using, information for requesting the authentication of the receipt is automatically transmitted to the receipt issuing system 2 through the network 4. For example, information including the electronic signature included in the receipt, the store name of the store from which the receipt is issued, and the store ID are transmitted as information requesting the authentication of the receipt.

  The receipt issuing system 2 receives information requesting the authentication of the receipt transmitted from the company system, and performs a process of confirming the validity of the receipt. For example, an electronic signature included in information transmitted from the enterprise system is decrypted, and an authentication result obtained by comparing the decrypted information with predetermined information is transmitted to the enterprise system.

  In the following, a process for confirming the validity of the receipt when the electronic signature of the store A is created by the public key cryptosystem will be described.

  Here, the public key encryption method is a method for encrypting and decrypting information using two pairs of keys, and one of the keys is a key used for decrypting information and is widely disclosed to others. , Called public key. The other key is a key used when encrypting information, and is called a secret key because it is secretly managed so that only the creator of the information can use it. The public key cryptosystem has a principle that information encrypted with a private key can be decrypted only with a paired public key. You can prove that you are legitimate.

  Therefore, for example, when an electronic signature is created by the store A by encrypting the store name and store ID using the private key of the store A, the electronic signature is stored in the electronic signature storage unit 16 of the receipt issuing system 2. And store the store information including the public key of the store A in the store information storage unit 14. And when the authentication of a receipt is requested | required, the electronic signature contained in the information which requests | requires the authentication of a receipt is decrypted using the public key memorize | stored in the store information storage part 14, and the decrypted store Authentication that the receipt is issued by the store A by comparing the ID and store name with the store ID and store name of the store A included in the information requesting the authentication of the receipt And send the authentication result to the corporate system.

  In the enterprise system, the receipt authentication result, for example, data indicating “matching match”, “matching mismatch” or “undecryptable” is received, and the validity of the receipt is confirmed. For example, when data indicating “matching match” is received, it can be confirmed that the receipt is issued by a valid issuer. On the other hand, if data indicating “verification mismatch” or “cannot be decrypted” is received, it is confirmed that the receipt has not been issued by a valid issuer, for example, it has been forged can do. Note that even when the tax office requests authentication of the receipt, it is possible to authenticate the receipt by the same process as described above.

  According to the receipt issuing system according to the embodiment of the present invention, a receipt in which authentication procedure information indicating an electronic signature for certifying an issuer and an authentication interface for authenticating the receipt is incorporated is issued. Therefore, for consumers, an authentic receipt can be obtained via the network, so online shopping and the like can be easily performed. Further, since a receipt of electronic information can be obtained instead of a paper receipt, the receipt can be easily managed. For stores, even in the case of online shopping, it is possible to reliably issue a receipt and provide high convenience to consumers. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to perform a process of issuing a receipt at the store, it is possible to appropriately reduce the cost for issuing the receipt.

  In addition, according to the receipt issuing system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the validity of the receipt is authenticated based on the authentication procedure information. That is, since the authentication procedure information indicating the authentication interface is incorporated in the receipt, it is possible to easily and quickly authenticate the receipt. Thus, for example, it is not necessary to check the validity of the receipt by creating an email requesting receipt verification or by contacting the contact listed on the paper receipt. Can be confirmed accurately and easily at low cost. Further, since authentication procedure information is incorporated in all issued receipts, a third party who receives the receipt can easily confirm the validity of the receipt.

  Moreover, according to the receipt issuing system which concerns on embodiment of this invention, the receipt issue details of a store are produced for every predetermined period, and the created receipt issue details are transmitted to a store system. Accordingly, in the store, accurate sales management can be performed based on the received receipt issuance details, and the receipt issuance details can be utilized as useful information for accounting processing in the store.

  Further, according to the receipt issuing system according to the embodiment of the present invention, by registering as an issuer, a receipt is issued as that of the registered issuer. In other words, by registering as an issuer in the receipt issuing system, it is easy to authenticate at low cost without building a system for issuing receipts by itself or an authentication system for confirming the validity of issued receipts. Possible receipts can be issued.

  In addition, as described above, it is possible to easily issue a receipt that can be authenticated by registering as an issuer. Can be appropriately prevented. That is, in order to issue a receipt that can be authenticated, it is necessary to construct a system for issuing a receipt and a system for authenticating the issued receipt. And cost. Accordingly, the receipt issuing system can be used as an effective deterrent against receipt issuance based on a fictitious request, that is, counterfeiting, as compared to paper receipts.

  In addition, although it is possible for each store or company to provide a mechanism for electronic receipt issuance and a mechanism for mechanical authentication, it is possible at the technological level of modern society. For low-power stores and companies, it takes time, and the cost is high, which is not practical as a practical problem. Therefore, by providing any store or company with a receipt issuing system that can be used quickly and easily as a public system, it matches the direction of Japan's IT strategy and electronic receipts. It can make a significant contribution to social dissemination.

  In the receipt issuing system according to the above-described embodiment, an electronic signature issued by a store or an arbitrary organization is added to a receipt issued based on a store request. An electronic signature issued in step 1 may be added. That is, an electronic signature may be issued in the receipt issuing system in response to a request from the store, and the electronic signature issued in the receipt issuing system may be added to the receipt.

  In the receipt issuance system according to the above-described embodiment, the receipt is transmitted to the store that is the transmission source of the receipt issuance request or the transmission destination indicated by the transmission destination information included in the receipt issuance request. However, a receipt issued in correspondence with consumer information of a consumer registered in advance may be stored. For example, consumer information such as a consumer's name and address is registered in advance in a receipt issuing system, and a receipt issued corresponding to the consumer information based on the receipt issuing request is stored. Then, the receipt stored in correspondence with the consumer information is transmitted to the consumer terminal of the consumer every predetermined period, for example, at the end of the month, or to the consumer terminal in response to a request from the consumer You may make it transmit.

  In addition, in the receipt issuing system according to the above-described embodiment, a case where a store providing an online shopping service requests the issuance of a receipt is taken as an example. An issue may be requested. For example, a mail order company other than online shopping may request the issuance of a receipt. Further, in a store or the like that sells products in a face-to-face manner, a receipt may be requested when requested by a consumer later.

  In addition, in the receipt issuing system according to the above-described embodiment, the revenue stamp is not attached to the issued receipt. For example, when the revenue stamp is issued as electronic information, etc. The electronic information revenue stamp may be attached to the issued receipt. In this case, even a receipt with an amount of 30,000 yen or more can be easily issued via the network.
