When the communication terminal 10 receives a deletion processing completion notification from the information management server 20, a message “deleted” is displayed as in the display screen D43.

  According to the information management system 1 described above, since the registration receiving unit 22 receives the telephone number, the card ID, and the service ID transmitted from the communication terminal 10, a plurality of IC cards 17 are used in the past and the present. Information on the card ID and the service ID can be acquired for a telephone number that can identify a possible user as a user of each IC card 17. Furthermore, since the storage unit 25 stores the telephone number, the card ID, and the service ID in association with each other, it is possible to manage the usage status of a plurality of services for each of the plurality of IC cards 17 for one user. That is, when changing the specific service used by the user or replacing the communication terminal 10 (IC card 17), it is possible to grasp which specific service is used with which IC card 17. . Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly convenient environment for users who use a plurality of IC cards 17.

  In addition, since the extraction unit 26 extracts the card ID and service ID corresponding to the telephone number received by the request reception unit 23 and the transmission unit 27 transmits the card ID and service ID, each of the plurality of IC cards 17 Use information for multiple services can be provided.

  In addition, since the information receiving unit 24 receives the stop information and the storage unit 25 stores the stop information in association with the corresponding service ID, it is possible to grasp the specific service whose use has been stopped. In addition, since the extraction unit adds stop information to the card ID or service ID, and the transmission unit transmits the stop information together with the card ID and the service ID, it is possible to provide information on the specific service that has been stopped. That is, when the user stops using the communication terminal 10 (IC card 17) and uses a new communication terminal 10 (IC card 17), information on the specific service or IC card 17 that has been stopped in the past. Therefore, it is possible to transfer a specific service more easily.

  When the information receiving unit 24 receives the stop information of the IC card 17, the transmitting unit 27 transmits the service stop information to the corresponding service providing server 30, so that each service providing server 30 corresponds to the stop of the use of the IC card 17. Information indicating that the service has been suspended will be automatically transmitted to. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to contact each service provider, and convenience is improved.

  Furthermore, since stop information is transmitted in response to the deallocation of the memory area in the IC card 17 of the communication terminal 10, the service stop information can be automatically transmitted to the information management server 20 in response to service stoppage. it can.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. In the above embodiment, the registration request unit 12 transmits the telephone number, the card ID, and the service ID in response to the first activation of the service application. For example, the registration request unit 12 stores the memory in the IC card 17. A telephone number, a card ID, and a service ID may be transmitted according to an area allocation process corresponding to a specific service in the area. Therefore, it is possible to automatically request registration according to the start of use of the service more accurately.

  In the above-described embodiment, the information providing unit 14 transmits the service stop information in response to the area allocation release process. However, the information stop unit 14 stops the service in response to a request for stopping the specific service by the user through the service application. Information may be transmitted.

  In the above embodiment, when the information receiving unit 24 receives the card stop information, the storage unit 25 stores the service ID and the stop information in association with each other. However, the corresponding card ID and the stop information may be stored in association with each other. Good.

  Furthermore, in the above embodiment, when the request information is transmitted by the communication terminal 10, the card ID of the IC card 17 being used is returned, but the request information is transmitted with the model name of the communication terminal 10 added thereto. Accordingly, the model name may be stored in the storage unit 25 of the information management server 20 in association with the corresponding card ID, and the model name may be returned instead of the card ID in response to a request for information from the communication terminal 10. .

  Furthermore, the terminal management server 40 transmits failure information indicating that the communication terminal 10 or the IC card 17 has failed to the information management server 20, and stores the failure information received by the information management server 20 in association with the card ID. May be. In this case, the transmission unit 27 adds the failure information together with the card ID and the service ID and transmits the failure information to the communication terminal 10 so that the communication terminal 10 can display the card ID and the failure information in association with each other on the display screen.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the telephone number was used as user ID, identification information, such as alphanumeric characters or a character string which can specify users, such as a membership number, may be used. In addition, when the service providing server 30 manages an ID that uniquely identifies a service providing user according to a number system different from the service ID, the information management server 20 associates the service ID with the service ID. You may make it manage ID. In this case, the service providing server 30 can request to stop using the service provided by the own server.

  In the above embodiment, the communication terminal 10 is a mobile phone, but it may be a terminal device such as a PHS (Personal Handyphone System) or PDA (Personal Digital Assistance).
