(4) Unauthorized use

  The above (1) is for preventing one user from using one information terminal device unnecessarily for a long time. After the specified time is exceeded (S701), the operation is stopped (S702). Thereafter, in S602, confirmation that the video storage medium has been forgotten is confirmed.

  The above (2) is because when either the wireless IC chip 8 or the video storage medium cannot be read, the print designation operation is impossible. In the case where only the wireless IC chip 8 has a reading error, the print designation operation can be continued without stopping the operation by selecting another payment means (cash, credit card, etc.) and enabling payment. It is preferable to do. If there is no payment, the operation is canceled.

  If the balance of (3) above is insufficient, if it is confirmed in S801 that another payment method (cash, credit card, etc.) is selected and payment is made (Yes in S801), the operation is not stopped. Thus, the print designation operation is continued, and the process of S118 is continued. If there is no payment or no payment (No), the operation is stopped (S901). Error information is transmitted outside the terminal device (S902), an error is displayed (S903), and the operation is stopped (S904).

  In the case of unauthorized use of (4) above, for example, modification of the wireless IC chip 8, the operation is immediately stopped. Furthermore, it is preferable that the unauthorized use information is transmitted to the management computer to notify / report to the nearest store clerk or guard.

  In the case where an error occurs at the time of rewriting payment information, it is preferable to transmit and / or display the error information to notify the outside of the information terminal device. In this specification, “outside the information terminal device” refers to a management computer, a store clerk or a staff member of a store or the like where the information terminal device is installed. It is preferable to deal with the error immediately (for example, rewrite with a master terminal device of a store etc.) at the site by a store clerk or a staff member. At this time, it is preferable that the ID information of the user in which the error has occurred is transmitted to the store clerk / clerk, etc., because a fine response can be facilitated.

  If settlement is possible, settlement is performed (S117), image information is read from the video storage medium (S118), and images subjected to various print designation operations are printed (S119). It should be noted that the present invention also includes a configuration in which the operation can be stopped by the user's designation before payment is made and printing is started.

  After printing, the image information read into the information terminal device 1 is deleted (S120).

  After the user finishes all the operations (S121), or when the operation is interrupted or stopped due to an error, the video recording medium is removed from the medium reading unit 3 of the information terminal device 1 at that time. Become.

  In the present invention, since two types of cards, that is, a video storage medium and a wireless IC chip 8 are handled, there is a possibility that the video storage medium loaded in the medium reading unit 3 of the information terminal device 1 may be forgotten. is doing. Therefore, it is preferable to add a configuration (S602, S603) for preventing forgetting to a portion where all operations have been completed (S121).

  That is, when a predetermined time elapses after the operation by the information terminal device 1 or when the wireless IC chip 8 leaves the operation area of the information terminal device 1, the video storage medium is still loaded in the information terminal device 1. In other words, it is preferable to provide a configuration that warns the user that he / she has forgotten to remove the video storage medium. In the present specification, the “operation area” refers to a range in which the information terminal device 1 can be substantially operated, specifically, a range in which the hand can reach the information terminal device 1 and can be operated. Even if the range is out of reach due to changing the position, an area that can be operated is secured, and if it is positioned so that it can be operated immediately, it is included in the operation area.

  This warning about forgetting to leave is not limited to the user, but may be a warning directed to the outside of the information terminal device or a warning directed to both. For the user, the information terminal device 1 may emit a warning sound / voice / light, or may be a warning by broadcasting in a store or a warning on an information display screen in a store. Good. When heading outside the information terminal device, alert the store clerk or staff using the terminal device in charge or a nearby terminal device so that the store clerk or the staff knows to the user or if the user does not catch it at the store. It is preferable to be able to respond by contacting the custody user. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the forgotten video storage medium from being lost or being passed to a third party.

  In the case of going outside the information terminal device, by configuring the user information such as ID information to be transmitted outside the information terminal device based on the information of the wireless IC chip 8 and / or the video storage medium of the user who has forgotten to take, Since the user who has forgotten to be taken can be identified, it is easier and more detailed for the store clerk / clerk and the like, which is preferable.

  Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5, the information terminal device 1 is installed in an area (a store in the present embodiment) in which a gate 7 for transmitting and receiving with a wireless IC chip 8 carried by the user is disposed. The gate 7 may detect the wireless IC chip 8 and warn the user when there is a possibility or situation that the storage medium is forgotten to be taken out of the information terminal device 1. As in the case of leaving the operation area, the warning can be configured not only to the user but also to a management computer, a store clerk, a staff, etc. outside the information terminal device. Warning means and transmission of user information are the same as in the case of leaving the operation area. In this specification, “area” is not limited to stores (literally stores such as convenience stores and mass sales stores), but specific corners in stores, specific floors of stores having multiple floors, corners of complex stores, etc. This refers to a store that is deployed, a store that is developed in a corner such as a station premises or an underground mall, or a corner that is simply installed as an information terminal device. In addition, in this specification, “the possibility of going out of the area or the situation” means that when approaching the gate 7 to go out of the area, when exiting, after exiting, it is not intended to exit. Let's say when we approached 7.
