Judge whether or not. When it is determined that the assigned number is not registered (NO in step S2322), in step S2323, the data processing unit 210 performs error processing. For example, as error processing, an alarm is generated so that the operator of the electronic money management server 200 can confirm the same as in step S2701 of FIG. After the confirmation operation, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the initial registration AP 211 that is a process of the caller of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a grant number is registered (YES in step S2322), in step S2324, the data processing unit 210 gives a grant date indicating a date to which a gift value is given, and a member to which the gift value is given. Member ID, the number of target users to whom gift value is granted, the grant amount that is the amount of gift value to be granted, and the target condition for gift value are added to the gift grant history DB described with reference to FIG. In addition, since the gift granting process at the time of new registration is executed for one user at the time of new registration, the number of target users is “1” in the history added in step S2324, and the target condition is “ New registration ". After step S2324, in step S2330, the data processing unit 210 executes a gift grant process.

  As described above, the electronic money management server 200 requests transfer of funds corresponding to the gift value from the gift account that is the first deposit account according to the present invention to the electronic money account that is the second deposit account. Transfer request information, which is a fund transfer request, is transmitted to the financial institution server 500A of the financial institution provided with the gift account. Specifically, in step S2312, it is determined whether or not the count value of the registration number counter as the issue number information managed in the user information DB has reached the upper limit number set on the gift grant condition setting screen of FIG. Judgment (in this embodiment, the number of grants is set to 1 so that the upper limit is set to 2), and the transfer is made on condition that the upper limit has not been reached. Send request information.

  And in order to memorize | store gift value in a user's mobile telephone 100 on the condition that the cancellation | release quick report as a fund transfer completion notification which shows that the money transfer (transfer) with respect to this transfer request information was completed was received in step S2321. In step S2330, a gift granting process is executed as the privilege electronic money issuing process.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a flow of gift giving processing executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 21, first, in step S2331, the data processing unit 210 updates the value purchase grant record corresponding to the member ID corresponding to the grant number. Here, a process for setting the uncharged value to be present is performed. Specifically, in the issue information DB 222 of FIG. 5, information for specifying the amount of gift value (for example, “1000” when the gift amount is 1000 yen) and the amount is uncharged. The processing status shown (for example, “unissued”) is associated and stored.

  Next, in step S2332, the data processing unit 210 transmits response information indicating that the breaking information received in step S2321 of FIG.

  Next, in step S2333, the data processing unit 210 determines that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the value balance stored in the issue information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information of the mobile phone 100 corresponds to the mobile terminal information. It is determined whether or not it is less than or equal to the portable retention limit stored in the user information DB 221.

  If it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the value balance is not less than or equal to the portable retention limit (NO in step S2333), in step S2334, the data processing unit 210 subtracts the value balance from the portable retention limit The excess amount is calculated by subtracting the calculated amount from the gift amount. Here, the excess amount is an amount that exceeds the portable retention limit when the gift amount is added to the value balance.

  Next, in S2335, the data processing unit 210 corresponds to the mobile terminal information that is obtained by adding the gift amount to the current day accumulated amount stored in the issuance information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information of the mobile phone 100. It is determined whether or not the daily purchase limit is stored in the user information DB 221.

  If it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the accumulated amount on the day is not less than the daily purchase limit (NO in step S2335), in step S2336, the data processing unit 210 indicates that the gift has been granted, E-mail including the fact that charging the mobile phone will exceed the mobile retention limit and the daily purchase limit, and that it will be possible to charge after tomorrow after using the excess value is supported To the e-mail address of the member ID.

  In step S2337, the data processing unit 210 sets both the values of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag corresponding to the gift value in the value purchase grant record of the issue information DB 222 to “1”. In other words, since gift value is granted, but when the gift value is charged, the portable retention limit and the daily purchase limit are exceeded, so the gift value is registered in the issue information DB 222 of the electronic money management server 200. Does not charge the mobile phone 100 with the gift value. After step S2337, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2345.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the accumulated amount on the day is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit (in the case of YES in step S2335), in step S2338, the data processing unit 210 indicates that the gift has been granted. E-mail address of the member ID corresponding to the breaking report will be sent to the e-mail indicating that charging the gift amount will exceed the carrying limit and that it will be possible to charge after using the excess value. Send to

  In step S2339, the data processing unit 210 sets the value of the first gift reservation flag to “1”. In other words, when the gift value is given, but the gift value is charged, it exceeds the carrying amount limit. Therefore, the gift value is registered in the issue information DB 222 of the electronic money management server 200. 100 is not charged. After step S2339, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2345.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the value balance is equal to or less than the portable retention limit (YES in step S2333), in step S2341, the data processing unit 210 displays the mobile terminal information of the mobile phone 100. It is determined whether the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the current day accumulated amount stored in the issue information DB 222 is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit amount.

  If it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the accumulated amount on the day is not less than the daily purchase limit (NO in step S2341), in step S2342, the data processing unit 210 indicates that the gift has been granted, An e-mail is sent to the e-mail address of the member ID corresponding to the application breaking news that the daily purchase limit will be exceeded when charging is charged and that the charge can be made after tomorrow.

  In step S2343, the data processing unit 210 sets the value of the second gift reservation flag to “1”. That is, when the gift value is granted, but the gift value is charged, the daily purchase limit is exceeded, so the gift value is registered in the issue information DB 222 of the electronic money management server 200, but the gift value is immediately stored in the mobile phone. 100 is not charged. After step S2343, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2345.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the accumulated amount on the day is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit (in the case of YES in step S2341), in step S2344, the data processing unit 210 indicates that the gift has been granted. And an e-mail attached with the gift value takeover information is sent to the e-mail address of the member ID corresponding to the breaking news.

  Link information is included as the takeover information. The link information in the present embodiment includes information for automatically starting an electronic money application 111 described later. When the electronic money application 111 in FIG. 18 is activated, it is activated from the takeover information (YES in step S191), and therefore a value issuance process described later with reference to FIG. 34 is executed.

  FIG. 22 is a first display screen diagram displayed on display unit 140 of mobile phone 100 when gift value is given to mobile phone 100 in electronic money system 10 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 22, here, since the gift granting process is executed as a subroutine of the gift granting process at the time of new registration, the e-mail transmitted from the electronic money management server 200 to the mobile phone 100 will not accept the new registration. That the gift value is given.

  The e-mail shown in FIG. 22A is transmitted in step S2344. In the e-mail shown in FIG. 22 (a), “Click here” is a link indicating that a gift value has been granted for a new registration, and a handover information for charging the gift value that has been granted. Start the app and charge the IC chip. ”Is displayed. When this link is selected on the screen of FIG. 22A, the electronic money application 111 is activated. The gift value charge is the same as the purchase value charge described later with reference to FIGS. 33 to 35, and will be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 21, after step S2344, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2345.

  After step S2337, step S2339, step S2343, and step S2344, in step S2345, the data processing unit 210 adds the gift amount to the current day sum corresponding to the mobile phone 100, and updates and stores the current day sum. The gift amount is added to the accumulated charge amount corresponding to the mobile phone 100 to update and store the accumulated charge amount, and the gift amount is added to the value balance corresponding to the cellular phone 100 to update and store the value balance. After step S2345, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this gift giving process.

  In addition, when gift grant processing is executed as a subroutine of gift grant processing at the time of new registration, the value balance and the accumulated amount on the day are normally equivalent to 0 yen, and the gift amount is purchased on the portable limit and purchased per day. It is not less than the limit amount, and it is not determined that the amount obtained by adding the gift amount to the value balance in step S2333 is not less than or equal to the portable retention limit amount. In step S2335 and step S2341, the gift amount is added to the accumulated amount on the day. Since the determined amount is not determined to be less than or equal to the daily purchase limit amount, the processes in steps S2336, S2338, and S2342 are not executed.

  Returning to FIG. 20, after the gift granting process in step S2330 is completed, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the initial registration AP 211 of the caller of this new registration gift granting process.

  As described above, the electronic money management server 200 determines whether or not to allow the gift value to be issued based on the value amount stored in the mobile phone 100 in step S2333 and the predetermined upper limit amount. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the total amount of the value balance registered in the issue information DB 222 and the gift value amount to be given is equal to or less than the portable retention limit registered in the user information DB 221. Then, on the condition that it is determined that the total amount is equal to or less than the portable holding limit amount (issue is permitted), privilege electronic money issuance processing is performed.

  Further, based on the value amount charged to the mobile phone 100 on the day and a predetermined upper limit amount, it is determined whether or not the gift value is permitted to be issued. Specifically, it is issued in steps S2335 and 2341. It is determined whether or not the total amount of the day accumulated amount registered in the information DB 222 and the gift value amount to be given is less than or equal to the daily purchase limit registered in the user information DB 221, and the total amount is one day. The privilege electronic money issuance process is performed on the condition that it is determined that the amount is equal to or less than the purchase limit amount (issue is permitted).

  More specifically, in step S2331, the electronic money management server 200 registers the gift value in the value purchase grant record of the issue information DB 222 and registers unissued as the processing status. If it is determined in step S2333 that the total amount exceeds the carrying limit, the flag “1” is registered in the first gift reservation flag field of the value purchase grant record in step S2337 or step S2339. If it is determined in step S2335 or step 2341 that the total amount exceeds the daily purchase limit, a flag “1” is registered in the second gift reservation flag field of the value purchase issuance record in step S2337 or step S2343. To do.

  If “1” is registered in the column of the first gift reservation flag or the second gift reservation flag, the (gift) value issuance is issued from the mobile phone 100 in step S271 of the value issuance AP 213 in FIG. Even when the request is received, it is determined whether or not “1” is registered in the column of the first gift reservation flag or the second gift reservation flag in step S2761, and if “1” is registered. If the retention limit on the mobile phone is exceeded, the value will not exceed even if the gift value is added, or if the daily purchase limit is exceeded, the mobile phone 100 will not be charged until the next day. The value issuance information is not transmitted. As a result, the gift value registered in the issuance information DB 222 is not stored in the mobile phone 100 until the conditions of the mobile holding limit and the daily purchase limit are satisfied. That is, the privilege electronic money issuance process is not performed.

  In addition, the electronic money management server 200 determines in step S2333 that the total amount of the value balance registered in the issue information DB 222 and the gift value amount to be given is equal to or less than the portable holding limit amount (allowing issuance). On the other hand, the total amount of the day accumulated amount registered in the issuance information DB 222 in step S2335 or step S2341 and the gift value amount to be given is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit amount (allowing issuance). In step S2344, an e-mail notifying that a gift value is issued is transmitted to the target user. Specifically, link information (takeover information) that is operated to transmit a value issuance request for issuing a gift value is attached to the e-mail.

  On the other hand, the electronic money management server 200 determines in step S2333 that the total amount of the value balance registered in the issue information DB 222 and the gift value amount to be granted exceeds the portable retention limit (issue is not permitted). In step S2338, an email notifying that the gift value cannot be issued because it exceeds the portable limit is sent to the target user. In step S2341, the current day accumulated amount registered in the issue information DB 222 is given. That the gift value cannot be issued because the daily purchase limit is exceeded in step S2342 on the condition that the total amount with the gift value exceeds the daily purchase limit (issuance is not permitted). Send a notification email to the target user. Further, it is determined in step S2333 that the total amount of the value balance registered in the issue information DB 222 and the gift value amount to be given exceeds the portable retention limit (issue is not permitted), and issue information is obtained in step S2335. On the condition that it is determined that the total sum of the accumulated amount on the day registered in the DB 222 and the gift value amount to be granted exceeds the daily purchase limit amount (it is not allowed to be issued), in step S2336 the portable retention limit amount And an email is sent to the target user notifying that the gift value cannot be issued because the daily purchase limit is exceeded.

  Returning to FIG. 11, after the gift registration process at the time of new registration in step S239a is completed, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S201.

  Proceeding to FIG. 19, next, in step S <b> 123, the data processing unit 110 requests an area securing process start request (area securing information) for requesting the start of an area securing process for securing a storage area for the electronic money game use service. A request to construct a storage area for the electronic money game use service indicated by (2) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400. The area securing process start request includes mobile terminal information.

  When the remote issuing server 400 receives the area securing process start request from the mobile phone 100, the storage unit for use in the electronic money game use service in the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 that has transmitted the area securing process start request. The storage area 192 is allocated, and area allocation execution information for storing the member ID in the allocated storage area is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 that has transmitted the area allocation process start request.

  Returning to FIG. 19, the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100 determines whether or not the area securing execution information is received from the remote issuing server 400 in step S124. If it is determined that the area allocation execution information has not been received (NO in step S124), data processing unit 110 repeats step S124.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the area allocation execution information has been received (YES in step S124), the data processing unit 110 executes the area allocation process indicated by the area allocation execution information from the remote issuing server 400 in step S125. To do. In the area securing process, a storage area for the electronic money game use service is secured in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, the member ID is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400, and the secured storage area in the storage unit 192 is stored. This is a process for storing a value equivalent to 0 yen.

  Specifically, in this area securing process, the remote issuing server 400 secures a storage area for an electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 via the electronic money application 111. Using the electronic money application 111, the mobile phone 100 transmits a member ID and a value equivalent to 0 yen as write data to the remote issuing server 400. The remote issuing server 400 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 without using the electronic money application 111, and stores the member ID and value received from the mobile phone 100 in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. Write. Then, when the storage area reservation and the writing of the member ID and the value are finished, the remote issuing server 400 transmits the area reservation end information to the mobile phone 100.

  Here, the remote issuing server 400 secures a storage area via the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the remote issuing server 400 may directly exchange with the non-contact type IC chip 190 without using the electronic money application 111 to secure a storage area. Further, the remote issuing server 400 writes the member ID and value without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the remote issue server 400 may write the member ID and value via the electronic money application 111.

  In addition, the remote issue server 400 secures a storage area for the electronic money game use service, and is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S123 on the condition that a value equivalent to 0 yen is written in the storage area. In association with the mobile terminal information included in the area securing process start request, the processing status of the mobile terminal information with respect to the mobile phone 100 is stored as an area secured end indicating that the area securing process has been completed.

  Next, in step S126, the data processing unit 110 receives the area reservation end information from the remote issuing server 400, and determines whether the area reservation process has ended. If it is determined that the area securing process has been completed (YES in step S126), in step S127, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status stored in the storage unit 120 to the area secured. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the electronic money application 111 which is the process that is the caller of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 18, after executing the initial activation process in step S1200, the data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S192.

  In step S180, the data processing unit 110 determines whether the activation of the electronic money application 111 is activation from the non-contact type IC chip 190. From the non-contact type IC chip 390 of the ticket vending machine 300 in the ticketing process by the ticket vending machine 300 described later in FIG. 53, or from the non-contact type IC chip 690 of the card unit 600 in the ball lending process by the card unit 600 described later in FIG. When an application activation signal for activating the electronic money application 111 is transmitted to the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the cellular phone 100, the cellular phone 100 activates the electronic money application 111 according to the application activation signal. The application activation signal will be described with reference to FIG. The case where it is determined that the activation of the electronic money application 111 is the activation from the non-contact type IC chip 190 (YES in step S180) will be described with reference to FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that activation of the electronic money application 111 is not activation from the non-contact type IC chip 190 (NO in step S180), in step S1100, the data processing unit 110 causes the activation of the electronic money application 111 to be described later. It is determined whether or not the activation is from the error explanation screen. A case where it is determined that the start is from the error explanation screen (YES in step S1100) will be described later.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the activation of the electronic money application 111 is not activation from the error explanation screen (NO in step S1100), in step S1110, the data processing unit 110 determines that the activation of the electronic money application 111 will be described later. It is determined whether the activation is from the completion mail. The case where it is determined that the activation is from the error handling completion mail (in the case of YES in step S1110) will be described later.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the activation is not from an error handling completion mail (NO in step S1110), in step S191, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the activation is from takeover information described in FIG. Judging. As will be described later, an e-mail with transfer information attached after purchase of value is transmitted to the mobile phone 100, the electronic money application 111 is activated by the transfer information, and the purchased value is charged to the mobile phone 100. . If it is determined that the activation is based on the takeover information (YES in step S191), the data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S150.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the activation is not based on the takeover information (NO in step S191), in step S198, the data processing unit 110 executes a processing status confirmation process.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing status confirmation processing that is a subroutine of the electronic money application executed by the mobile phone in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 23, in step S1981, the data processing unit 110 has received the area allocation information updated in step S122a of the initial activation process in FIG. 19 for the processing status managed in the storage unit 120. Judge whether or not.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the area securing information has been received (YES in step S1981), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S123 of the initial activation process in FIG. As a result, the data processing unit 110 received the area allocation information in step S122. However, in the exchange with the remote issuing server 400 from step S123 to step S126, the data processing unit 110 creates a storage area for the electronic money game use service due to a communication failure or the like. If it cannot be secured, the area securing process start request is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400 in step S123 without transmitting the portable terminal information to the electronic money management server 200 again in step S121. For this reason, the electronic money management server 200 secures a storage area for the electronic money game use service again in spite of the fact that the processing status of the user information DB 221 shown in FIG. Mobile terminal information is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200, and the processing status managed on the electronic money management server 200 side has already been secured, so the request is not accepted and the area is secured. Can be prevented.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing status has not been received, the data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1982. The processing after step S1982 will be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 18, after executing the processing status confirmation processing in step S198, the data processing unit 110 advances the processing to be executed to step S192.

  In step S192, the data processing unit 110 acquires the value balance from the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the contactless IC chip 190, and displays an initial screen when the electronic money application 111 is started up. 140 is displayed.

At this time, since the total amount specified from the total amount confirmation information received in step S143 is also transmitted to the financial institution server 500, the input operation after login is reduced. Here, since this mobile banking process uses a mobile banking system currently provided by each financial institution, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, payment processing is completed at the time of transfer processing by mobile banking by using mobile banking by a financial institution as a payment processing for payment for a value charge. However, the settlement process is not limited to the process in which the settlement is completed at the time of the process as described above. For example, the credit card providing institution is requested to pay for the charge for the charge to the server of the credit card providing institution. The server may perform payment by credit, and actual payment may be performed at a later date.

  Returning to FIG. 1, when the payment for the value purchase is completed, the financial institution server 500 transmits an application message to the payment server 280 indicating that the payment for the value purchase is completed.

  The settlement server 280 registers the received application message in the billing information DB 281. Then, the settlement server 280 transmits a consumption breaking report corresponding to the received consumption message to the electronic money management server 200.

  Proceeding to FIG. 26, in step S269, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not a consumption breaking report has been received from the settlement server 280. If it is determined that the consumption bulletin has been received (YES in step S269), the data processing unit 210 executes a post value settlement process in step S270. The post-value consideration settlement process will be described with reference to FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the consumption breaking news has not been received (NO in step S269), or after step S270, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S241.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing a flow of post value settlement processing that is a subroutine of the value purchase application program 212 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 30, first, in step S2700, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 registers the purchase number indicated in the cancellation report received from the settlement server 280 in step S269 in the issue information DB 222. Determine whether or not. If it is determined that the purchase number is not registered (NO in step S2700), in step S2701, the data processing unit 210 performs error processing. For example, as error processing, an alarm is generated so that the operator of the electronic money management server 200 can confirm the same as in step S2323 of FIG. Then, after the confirmation operation, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the value purchase AP 212 which is a process of calling this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the purchase number is registered (YES in step S2700), in step S2702, the data processing unit 210 determines that the purchase of the value indicated by the purchase number corresponds to the mobile phone corresponding to the purchase number. It is determined whether or not it is the first purchase at 100. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the count value of the value purchase number counter corresponding to the mobile phone 100 is zero.

  If it is determined that the purchase is the first time (YES in step S2702), the data processing unit 210 sets the count value of the uncharged deletion counter to 0 in step S2703. When it is determined that the purchase is the first time, the data processing unit 210 may subtract 1 from the count value of the uncharged deletion counter. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2704. On the other hand, if it is determined that the purchase is not the first time (NO in step S2702), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2704.

  Next, in step S2704, the data processing unit 210 updates the value purchase grant record corresponding to the member ID corresponding to the purchase number. Here, a process for setting the uncharged value to be present is performed. Specifically, the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5 indicates information for specifying the amount of value (for example, “1000” when the purchase amount is 1000 yen) and indicates that the amount is uncharged. The processing status (for example, “unissued”) is associated and stored. Thereby, a value purchase grant record (identification information) for identifying an uncharged value that is a value corresponding to the charge request received by the determination in step S241 and that can be charged to the mobile phone 100 of the charge request source. ) Is configured.

  Then, in step S2705, the data processing unit 210 adds 1 to the count value of the value purchase count counter, and in step S2706, adds the purchase amount to the current day sum corresponding to the mobile phone 100 to update the day sum. Then, the purchase amount is added to the accumulated charge amount corresponding to the mobile phone 100, the accumulated charge amount is updated and stored, and the purchase amount is added to the value balance included in the charge request received in step S241 in FIG. Then, the value balance is updated and stored.

  Next, in step S2708, the data processing unit 210 transmits response information to the effect that the consumption breaking news received in step S2700 has been processed normally to the settlement server 280. In step S2710, the data processing unit 210 executes a gift-giving process during charging.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing the flow of the gift-giving process for charging executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 31, first, in step S <b> 2311 a, data processing unit 210 determines whether or not today is within the target period of the charging gift granting conditions set and stored on the gift granting condition setting screen of FIG. 7. To do.

  If it is determined that today is in the target period (YES in step S2311a), in step S2312a, the data processing unit 210 corresponds to the purchase number of the consumption breaking news received in step S269 of FIG. The charging gift number of times managed in the user information DB 221 in FIG. 4 corresponding to the mobile terminal information registered in the issue information DB 222 is set and stored on the gift granting condition setting screen in FIG. It is determined whether or not the condition of the number of gift grant conditions is satisfied. As in the gift granting condition setting screen of FIG. 7, when the limit is set, the upper limit number of times is not reached, so that the condition of step S2312a is always satisfied.

  If it is determined that the number of gift gifts at the time of charging satisfies the condition of the number of gifts (YES in step S2312a), in step S2312b, the data processing unit 210 and the purchase number of the consumption breaking news received in step S269 in FIG. Correspondingly, whether or not the purchase amount or the accumulated charge amount registered in the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5 satisfies the condition of the grant amount of the charge gift granting condition set and stored on the gift granting condition setting screen in FIG. Judging.

  For example, if “for every charge of X yen or more” is set in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the purchase amount is X yen or more. Also, in the case where “for each accumulated charge amount Y yen” is set in FIG. 7, it is determined whether or not the accumulated charge amount exceeds an integral multiple of Y yen due to the current charge.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that today is not in the target period (NO in step S2311a), if it is determined that the number of gifts given during charging does not satisfy the condition of the number of gifts (NO in step S2312a), and purchase If it is determined that the amount of money or the accumulated amount of charges does not satisfy the condition for the amount of money to be granted (NO in step S2312b), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the post-value-value-payment settlement process that is the caller of this process.

  If it is determined that the purchase amount or the accumulated charge amount satisfies the condition of the grant amount (YES in step S2312b), in step S2313a, the data processing unit 210 is set and stored on the gift grant condition setting screen in FIG. The gift amount is set as the grant amount of the gift grant condition when charging.

  The processing from step S2314 to step S2324 is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 20, and therefore, repeated description will not be repeated.

  Next, in step S2325, the data processing unit 210 adds 1 to the number of gift grants during charging in the user information DB 221 of FIG. After step S2325, in step S2330, the data processing unit 210 executes a gift grant process.

  As described above, the electronic money management server 200 is also the first deposit account in the present invention in step S2316 in the gift-giving process at the time of charging in the same manner as the gift-giving process at the time of new registration in FIG. Transfer request information, which is a fund transfer request for requesting transfer of funds corresponding to gift value, from the gift account to an electronic money account, which is the second deposit account, is a financial institution server of the financial institution provided with the gift account Sent to 500A. Specifically, in step S2312a, it is determined whether or not the number of times of gift granting at the time of charging as issue frequency information managed in the user information DB 221 has reached the upper limit number set on the gift granting condition setting screen of FIG. The transfer request information is transmitted on condition that the upper limit number has not been reached.

  And in order to memorize | store gift value in a user's mobile telephone 100 on the condition that the cancellation | release quick report as a fund transfer completion notification which shows that the money transfer (transfer) with respect to this transfer request information was completed was received in step S2321. In step S2330, a gift giving process is performed as the special electronic money issuing process.

  The gift giving process is the same as the process described with reference to FIG. 21 except for the contents of the e-mail transmitted in steps S2336, S2338, S2342, and S2344 in FIG. Therefore, the contents of the e-mail transmitted in step S2336, step S2338, step S2342, and step S2344 in FIG. 21 will be described.

  FIG. 32 is a second display screen diagram displayed on display unit 140 of mobile phone 100 when gift value is assigned to mobile phone 100 in electronic money system 10 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 32, here, since the gift granting process is executed as a subroutine of the gift granting process at the time of charging, the e-mail transmitted from the electronic money management server 200 to the mobile phone 100 includes a value purchase. A message indicating that a gift value will be given is displayed.

  The e-mail shown in FIG. 32A is transmitted in step S2336. The e-mail shown in FIG. 32 (a) indicates that a gift value has been granted for value purchase, that the gift value will be charged, the mobile retention limit and the daily purchase limit will be exceeded, and the excess It will be displayed that you can charge after tomorrow after using the amount.

  The electronic mail shown in FIG. 32B is transmitted in step S2338. The e-mail shown in FIG. 32 (b) can be charged after the use of the excess amount, indicating that the gift value has been granted for the value purchase, charging the gift value will exceed the carrying limit. Is displayed.

  The electronic mail shown in FIG. 32C is transmitted in step S2342. In the e-mail shown in FIG. 32 (c), the fact that gift value is given for value purchase, the fact that the gift value is charged, the daily purchase limit is exceeded, and it can be charged after tomorrow. Is displayed.

  The e-mail shown in FIG. 32D is transmitted in step S2344. In the e-mail shown in FIG. 32 (d), “Click here” is a link indicating that a gift value has been granted for value purchase, and a link as takeover information for charging the granted gift value. Start the app and charge the IC chip. ”Is displayed. When this link is selected on the screen of FIG. 32D, the electronic money application 111 is activated. The gift value charge is the same as the purchase value charge described later with reference to FIGS. 33 to 35, and will be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 31, after step S2330, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the post-value-payment settlement process that is the caller of the gift-giving process at the time of charging.

  Returning to FIG. 30, in step S <b> 2709, the data processing unit 210 transmits an e-mail with purchase value takeover information to the e-mail address of the member ID corresponding to the breaking news. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 ends the process after value consideration settlement, and returns the process to be executed to the caller of this process.

  As described in step S2344 in FIG. 21, the takeover information includes link information. The link information in the present embodiment includes information for automatically starting an electronic money application 111 described later. When the electronic money application 111 is activated, it is activated from the takeover information (YES in step S191), so a value issuing process described later with reference to FIG. 34 is executed.

(Description of value charging in the electronic money system 10)
FIG. 33 is a first display screen view displayed on display unit 140 of mobile phone 100 when value is charged (written) in mobile phone 100 in electronic money system 10 according to the present embodiment.

  FIG. 33A is a screen showing the number of new messages in the e-mail function of the mobile phone 100. Here, the display of “mail unread 001” indicates that there is one unread mail among newly arrived electronic mails.

  When “mail unread 001” is selected on the screen of FIG. 33A, the contents of the new mail transmitted from the electronic money management server 200 to the mobile phone 100 in step S2709 as shown in FIG. 33B. Is displayed.

Start the app and charge the IC chip. ”Is displayed. When this link is selected on the screen of FIG. 33 (b), the electronic money application 111 is activated.

  Returning to FIG. 18, when the link as takeover information is selected on the screen of FIG. 33B, the screen of FIG. 22A, and the screen of FIG. 32D, and the electronic money application 111 is activated, In step S191, the data processing unit 110 determines that the activation is based on the takeover information, and advances the process to be executed to step S150.

  Further, in step S194, the data processing unit 110 selects the value of “Charge purchase value to IC chip (update latest balance)” on the startup initial screen described with reference to FIG. It is determined whether or not the issue is selected. If value issuance is selected (YES in step S194), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S150.

  In step S150, the data processing unit 110 executes value issue processing described later with reference to FIG.

  In this embodiment, when a link as takeover information attached to an e-mail is selected, the electronic money application 111 is automatically activated, and a value issuance process is executed in step S150. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when a link is selected, the electronic money application 111 is automatically activated, and the initial startup screen described with reference to FIG. 24B is displayed. The value issue process may be executed by selecting the value. When the link is selected, the screen described with reference to FIG. 24A is displayed, the electronic money application 111 is activated by the user, and the value issuance processing is executed by selecting the value charge link. You may make it do.

  FIG. 34 is a flowchart showing a flow of value issue processing which is a subroutine of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 34, first, in step S151, data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the processing status stored in storage unit 120 has already been issued. As will be described later, the processing status is updated to have received the issue information in step S153a on condition that the value issue information is received from the electronic money management server 200 in step S153.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the issue information has been received (YES in step S151), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S154. On the other hand, when it is determined that the processing status is not the issue information received (NO in step S151), in step S152, the data processing unit 110 is information for requesting the charge (issuance) of value and the member ID And value issuance request information including mobile terminal information is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, as an issue operation for requesting the issue of electronic money, an operation for selecting a link of “charge of purchased value to IC chip” on the startup initial screen of FIG. Specifically, on the condition that the operation of the link as the takeover information attached to the e-mail is accepted from the user, the issuance operation is accepted from the user, and the processing status stored in the storage unit 120 is issued. On the condition that the information has not been received, value issue request information for requesting issue of electronic money is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200.

  FIG. 35 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the value issuing application program 213 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  With reference to FIG. 35, first, in step S271, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not there has been a value issue request by receiving value issue request information from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that there is no value issue request (NO in step S271), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S271.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a value issuance request (YES in step S271), in step S272, the data processing unit 210 uses the member ID and mobile terminal information included in the value issuance request information received in step S271. It is determined whether or not the information registered in the person information DB 211 is usable. If it is determined that it is not usable (NO in step S272), the data processing unit 210 transmits an unusable screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S273. The unusable screen is the same screen as the screen described in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it can be used (YES in step S272), in step S274, the data processing unit 210 stores the member ID and the uncharged value corresponding to the mobile terminal information in the issue information DB 222. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that there is no uncharged value (NO in step S274), the data processing unit 210 transmits an uncharged value no screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S275. In addition, although the case where the process of step S274 and step S275 is executed in the value issuing AP 213 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the value issuing AP 213 may not execute the process of step S274 and step S275. Good.

  Returning to FIG. 33, FIG. 33 (c) is an uncharged value no screen transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S <b> 275. On the screen of FIG. 33 (c), a text indicating that there is no unreceived value and “OK”, which is a link for confirming that and closing the electronic money application 111, are displayed.

  Proceeding to FIG. 35, when it is determined that there is an uncharged value (YES in step S274), when it is determined that there is an uncharged value at the time of charge request (YES in step S244), and balance transfer described later If it is determined that there is an uncharged value at the time of request (YES in step S2064), in step S2761, the data processing unit 210 has a value purchase grant record in which the value of the gift reservation flag in the issue information DB 222 is “1”. Determine whether or not. If it is determined that there is no data (NO in step S2761), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process in step S277.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a value purchase grant record with the value of the gift reservation flag “1” (YES in step S2761), in step S2762, the data processing unit 210 displays the first gift reservation flag and the second gift. It is determined whether or not there is a value purchase grant record in which the value of the reservation flag is “0”.

  When it is determined that there is a value purchase grant record in which the values of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are both “0” (YES in step S2762), in step S2763, the data processing unit 210 Value issue information for causing the mobile phone 100 to write the value of the value purchase grant record in which the values of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are both “0” is stored in the mobile phone 100. Send. The processing of the mobile phone 100 that has received the value issuance information will be described in step S277 described later. After step S2763, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S278.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no value purchase grant record in which the values of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are both “0” (NO in step S2762), the data processing unit 210 is determined in step S2764. Determines whether the sum obtained by adding the total amount of uncharged values to the value balance stored in the issuance information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information of the mobile phone 100 is equal to or less than the mobile retention limit.

  The uncharged value here is an uncharged value in which at least one value of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag is “1”. In other words, in step S2764, the value balance does not exceed the portable retention limit even if the gift value that was not charged last time is charged this time because it exceeds the portable retention limit or the daily purchase limit when granted. It is determined whether or not.

  If it is determined that the sum of the value balance and the total amount of uncharged value is equal to or less than the portable retention limit (YES in step S2764), in step S2765, the data processing unit 210 carries the mobile phone 100. It is determined whether or not an amount obtained by adding the total amount of uncharged values to the accumulated amount on the day stored in the issue information DB 222 corresponding to the terminal information is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit amount.

  When it is determined that the sum of the day's total amount and the total amount of uncharged value is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit amount (YES in step S2765), in step S2766, the data processing unit 210 The value of the gift reservation flag is set to “0”. That is, value issuance information for charging an uncharged gift value is transmitted in step S277, which will be described later, and the gift value is no longer reserved, so the value of the gift reservation flag is updated to a value indicating the state. . After step S2766, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S277.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the sum of the value balance and the total amount of uncharged value is not less than the carrying limit (if NO in step S2764), and the total amount of uncharged value is added to the accumulated amount on the day If it is determined that the purchased amount is not less than the daily purchase limit amount (NO in step S2765), in step S2767, the data processing unit 210 transmits an uncharged value transmission disabled screen to the mobile phone 100. On the uncharged value transmission impossible screen, a document is displayed indicating that if the uncharged gift value is charged, the value on the mobile phone will be exceeded, or the daily purchase limit will be exceeded, so that the value issue information cannot be transmitted. After step S2767, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of step S271.

  In step S277, the data processing unit 210 transmits to the mobile phone 100 value issue information for causing the mobile phone 100 to write the amount of value specified from the value purchase grant record of the uncharged value from the remote issue server 400. . The value issuance information includes at least a writable value.

  Thereby, on the condition that the value issuance request is received by the determination in step S271, the value managed in the value purchase grant record of the issuance information DB 222 in association with the member ID included in the value issuance request information. On the condition that the processing status (issuance status) is not yet issued, the uncharged value identified from the value purchase grant record (identification information) corresponding to the member ID registered in the issuance information DB 222 is A means for outputting the data to be transmitted to the issuing request source mobile phone 100 is configured.

  As described above, when a gift value is given to value purchase, the purchase value and the gift value are registered in the issue information DB 222 in an unissued state. In this case, if neither the portable retention limit nor the daily purchase limit is exceeded due to the gift value, the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are registered with “0” for both the purchase value and the gift value. Therefore, NO is determined in step S2761, and value issuance information corresponding to the total amount of purchase value and gift value is transmitted in step S277, and value issuance is performed.

  When either the mobile phone holding limit or the daily purchase limit is exceeded due to the gift value, the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are registered with “0” for the purchase value. Is registered with “1” at least one of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag corresponding to the excess amount. Therefore, YES is determined in step S2761 and step S2762, and value issuance information is transmitted only for the purchased value in step S2763, and value issuance is performed.

  Then, when the user performs the value issuing operation again at the stage of satisfying the conditions of the mobile holding limit and the daily purchase limit, it is determined YES in step S2761, NO in step S2762, and further, step S2764 and In step S2765, YES is determined. In step S277, value issue information about the gift value is transmitted, and value is issued.

  The purchase information and the gift value are registered in the issue information DB 222 in an unissued state, and at least one of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag is registered as “1” for the gift value. However, if the user uses the value after registration or performs the value issuance operation on the day after the registration, the value on the mobile phone and the daily purchase limit will be satisfied when the value issuance is requested. There is a possibility. In this regard, in this embodiment, even in such a case, only the purchase value is issued first, and the gift value is issued in response to the subsequent issue request.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. In response to the receipt of the value issuance request, the determinations in steps S2764 and S2765 are performed, and both the portable holding limit amount and the daily purchase limit amount are satisfied. In this case, even if the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are “1”, value issue information corresponding to the total amount of purchase value and gift value may be transmitted to issue value.

  Returning to FIG. 34, in step S <b> 153, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not value issue information has been received from the electronic money management server 200. When it is determined that the value issue information has been received (YES in step S153), in step S153a, the data processing unit 110 indicates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120, and the issue information has been received (data received). Update to Since the processing status after the issue information has been received is before the processing status is updated to written in step S157a, which will be described later, this corresponds to the processing status where the value has not been written.

  In step S153b, the data processing unit 110 transmits reception response information for notifying the electronic money management server 200 that the value issue information has been received, to the electronic money management server 200.

  Proceeding to FIG. 35, in step S <b> 278, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not reception response information has been received from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that the reception response information has not been received (NO in step S278), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S278. On the other hand, if it is determined that the reception response information has been received (YES in step S278), in step S279, the data processing unit 210 updates the processing status of the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5 to issued. That is, the processing status is updated to “issued” on condition that the value issuance information is transmitted in step S277. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S271.

  Returning to FIG. 34, next, in step S154, the data processing unit 110 adds the value specified from the value issuance information to the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. Information for starting the writing process to be stored and writing process start request information including the purchase number of the value and the mobile terminal information (write request information for requesting writing of the purchased value) to the remote issuing server 400 Send.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the remote issuing server 400 transmits value write execution information to the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information included in the write process start request information. The value write execution information is stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the contactless IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 in the amount indicated by the value issue amount information included in the write process start request information. This is information for storing value.

  Specifically, the remote issuance server 400 includes a writing status storage unit that stores a writing status of value, and the writing status storage unit includes a purchase number and a mobile phone included in the write processing start request. Terminal information is stored in association with each other, and an area for storing a flag indicating whether or not the value has been written is provided.

  Then, when receiving the write process start request from the mobile phone 100, the remote issuing server 400 determines whether or not the purchase number and the mobile terminal information included in the write process start request are stored in the write status storage unit. In addition to the determination, if it is stored, it is further determined whether or not the corresponding flag has been written.

  In this determination, if it is determined that the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are not stored, or stored but the corresponding flag has not been written, that is, the writing status storage unit (writing status management means) If the management status in () is unwritten, value write execution information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are stored and the corresponding flag has been written, that is, the management status in the writing status storage unit (writing status management means) is written. If it has been completed, the value writing execution information is not transmitted. When it is determined that the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are not stored, the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are newly stored in the write status storage unit, and management of the write status is started.

  Proceeding to FIG. 34, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not value writing execution information has been received from the remote issuing server 400 in step S155. If it is determined that the value writing execution information has been received (YES in step S155), in step S156, the data processing unit 110 performs the writing process indicated by the value writing execution information received from the remote issuing server 400. Execute. In the writing process, the value indicated by the value issue amount information indicating the amount of value specified from the value issue information is written in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. It is processing of.

  Specifically, in this writing process, the mobile phone 100 transmits, to the remote issue server 400, the value of the amount indicated by the value issue amount information that is the write data by the electronic money application 111. The remote issuing server 400 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 without using the electronic money application 111 and writes the value received from the mobile phone 100 into the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. That is, the remote issuance server 400 indicates that the writing status in the writing status storage unit of the value corresponding to the write processing start request is unwritten (the purchase number or the like is not stored, or the flag is written The controller 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is instructed to write the value (issued value) indicated in the value issue information (transmits the write instruction information). In response to this, the control unit 191 writes a value in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 (that is, the control unit 191 constitutes a data write execution unit). In this case, when the value is already stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service of the storage unit 192, a process of writing the value of the amount obtained by adding the issued value to the already stored value is performed. Such processing also corresponds to writing of issued value. When the value writing is completed, the remote issuing server 400 transmits the writing end information to the mobile phone 100.

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured such that the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 writes the issued value in accordance with an instruction from the remote issuing server 400 without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money application 111 may instruct the control unit 191 to write the issued value in response to receiving the write instruction information from the remote issuing server 400.

  The remote issuing server 400 also purchases the value included in the write processing start request transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S154 on the condition that the value has been written in the storage area for the electronic money game use service. The processing status of the value is stored as having been written.

  That is, the remote issuance server 400 has the value for which writing is instructed by the write instruction information on condition that the write instruction information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 (the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190). The flag stored in the writing status storage unit in association with the purchase number is updated to a state indicating written.

  The data processing unit 110 transmits a write request signal to the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and the control unit 191 writes the value in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192. May be included. In this case, a process of transmitting a write request signal from the data processing unit 110 to the control unit 191 corresponds to a process for adding value.

  Further, the remote issuing server 400 and the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 communicate with each other via the antenna 194, and the control unit 191 writes the value in the area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192. There may be. In this case, the process of transmitting the write process start request information from the data processing unit 110 to the remote issuing server 400 in step S154 corresponds to a process for adding value.

  Next, in step S157, the data processing unit 110 receives the write end information from the remote issuing server 400, and determines whether the write process has ended. If it is determined that the writing process has been completed (YES in step S157), in step S157a, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 to the written state.

  The data processing unit 110 is not limited to receiving the write end information from the remote issuing server 400 and updating the processing status in this way. For example, the data processing unit 110 receives the write end signal from the control unit 191 and The processing status may be updated based on the above. That is, the processing status may be updated to data written on condition that processing for writing electronic money (data) to the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is executed.

  Next, in step S158, the data processing unit 110 acquires the value balance from the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and displays the value issue completion screen on the display unit 140. Display.

  Returning to FIG. 33, the screen of FIG. 33 (d) is a value issuance completion screen displayed in step S158. In the screen of FIG. 33 (d), the same chip ID as that of the screen of FIG. 17 (b), a sentence indicating that the charging of the value is completed, the current charge amount is 1000 yen, and the value balance after charging is displayed. It is 11000 yen, and precautions when using value are displayed.

  Proceeding to FIG. 34, in step S159a, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not a confirmation operation has been performed on the value issuance completion screen. If it is determined that a confirmation operation has been performed (YES in step S159a), in step S159b, the data processing unit 110 causes the display unit 140 to display the startup initial screen described with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 23, in step S1982, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has already been issued information updated in step S153a in FIG.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the issue information has been received (YES in step S1982), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S154 of the value issuance process in FIG. As a result, the data processing unit 110 receives the value issuance information in step S153, but if the value cannot be written due to a communication failure or the like in the exchange with the remote issuance server 400 from step S154 to step S157, the data processing unit 110 again Without sending the value issuance request information to the electronic money management server 200 in step S152, the write processing start request is sent to the remote issuance server 400 in step S154.

  Specifically, after updating the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 in step S153a to have been issued, the communication with the remote issuance server 400 is disconnected before the value writing is completed, and the user When the activation operation of the electronic money application 111 is performed from the screen shown in FIG. 24A, all of steps S120, S180, S1100, S1110, and S191 are performed in the processing of the electronic money application 111 shown in FIG. It is determined as NO, and the processing status confirmation processing in step S198 is executed.

  Then, in step S1982 of the processing status confirmation processing shown in FIG. 23, it is determined that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has already been issued, and the processing goes through step S152 (transmission of value issuance request information) in FIG. Without proceeding to step S154, a write processing start request (write request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400. That is, in this case, accepting an activation operation of the electronic money application 111 from the user corresponds to accepting an issue operation for requesting the issue of electronic money.

  Further, after the communication with the remote issuing server 400 is disconnected as described above, when the operation of the link as the takeover information attached to the e-mail is accepted from the user as the issuing operation, FIG. In the process of the electronic money application 111 shown, YES is determined in step S191, and the value issuance process in step S150 is executed.

  Then, in step S151 of the value issuance processing shown in FIG. 34, it is determined that the processing status managed by the storage unit 120 has already been issued, and the process goes through step S152 (transmission of value issuance request information). In step S154, the write processing start request (write request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400.

  Thereby, in the electronic money management server 200, the value issue request information is transmitted again even though the processing status (issue status) of the issue information DB 222 is updated to issued in step S279, and the electronic money management server 200 Since the processing status in is already issued, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the issue request is not accepted, the subsequent write process cannot be performed, and the value cannot be written.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing status is not the issue information has been received (NO in step S1982), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1983. The processing after step S1983 will be described later.

(Explanation of processing to give gift value periodically)
FIG. 36 is a flowchart showing a flow of a regular gift giving process executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 36, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 executes a regular gift giving process every day at a predetermined time (for example, 8:00 am). It is not limited to being executed at a predetermined time every day, but may be executed at a predetermined time every few days. For example, every day such as 8 am on weekdays and 9 am on holidays. It may be executed at different times.

  First, in step S2351, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not today is in the target period of the specific target person gift granting condition set and stored on the gift granting condition setting screen in FIG. When it is determined that today is not in the target period (NO in step S2351), the data processing unit 210 ends the regular gift giving process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that today is in the target period (YES in step S2351), in step S2353, the data processing unit 210 sets and stores the specific target person gift grant set and stored on the gift grant condition setting screen of FIG. Set the gift amount as the amount of grant for the condition.

  In step S2354, the data processing unit 210 sets the member ID of the gift target person who satisfies the grant condition of the specific target person gift grant condition set and stored on the gift grant condition setting screen in FIG. 7 to the user information DB 221 in FIG. Extract from For example, when the granting condition is “birthday”, the data processing unit 210 extracts the member ID of the gift target person whose birthday is today from the user information DB 221 of FIG. If today is November 22, the data processing unit 210 extracts the member ID “1101” of the member whose birthday is “November 22” in the user information DB 221 of FIG.

  Next, in step S2355, the data processing unit 210 issues a gift value assignment number for the gift target person extracted in step S2354. Next, in step S2356, the data processing unit 210 associates the gift amount set in step S2353, the grant number issued in step S2355, and the time stamp indicating the current time with the member ID for all gift recipients. And register it in the issue information DB 222.

  Next, in step S2357, the data processing unit 210 receives transfer request information which is information for requesting transfer of the total gift value given to all gift recipients from the gift account to the electronic money account. Is transmitted to the financial institution server 500A of the financial institution where the account is provided.

  In the financial institution in which the financial institution server 500A is installed, based on the transfer request information transmitted in step S2357, the total gift value given to all gift recipients is transferred from the gift account to the electronic money account. Change. When the transfer for the gift value is completed, the financial institution server 500A transmits an application message indicating that the transfer is completed to the settlement server 280.

  The settlement server 280 registers the received application message in the billing information DB 281. Then, the settlement server 280 transmits a consumption breaking report corresponding to the received consumption message to the electronic money management server 200.

  In step S 2361, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not a breaking information has been received from the settlement server 280. If it is determined that the consumption bulletin has not been received (NO in step S2361), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2361.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the consumption bulletin has been received (YES in step S2361), in step S2362, the data processing unit 210 has registered in the issuance information DB 222 the assignment number indicated by the received consumption bulletin. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that the assigned number is not registered (NO in step S2362), data processing unit 210 performs error processing in step S2363. For example, as error processing, an alarm is generated so that the operator of the electronic money management server 200 can confirm the same as in step S2323 of FIG. Then, after the confirmation operation, the data processing unit 210 ends the regular gift giving process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the grant number is registered (YES in step S2362), in step S2364, the data processing unit 210 gives the grant date indicating the date on which the gift value is given, and the gift value identification target person The gift grant history described with reference to FIG. 6 shows the grant conditions, the number of target users to whom gift value is given, the grant amount that is the total gift value given to all specific target users, and the target conditions for gift value Add to DB. Since the regular gift grant process is normally executed for a plurality of users, among the histories added in step S2364, the number of target users is plural, and the target condition is “specific target person”. .

  After step S2364, in step S2365, the data processing unit 210 sets the first grant number of the consumption bulletin received in step S2361 as the target grant number. In step S2370, the data processing unit 210 executes a gift grant process on the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information registered in the issue information DB 222 corresponding to the target grant number.

  As described above, in the regular gift grant process of FIG. 36 as well, in the case of the new registration gift grant process of FIG. 20, the electronic money management server 200 is the gift that is the first deposit account in the present invention in step S2357. Transfer request information, which is a fund transfer request for requesting transfer of funds corresponding to the gift value, from the account to an electronic money account, which is the second deposit account, is sent to the financial institution server 500A of the financial institution provided with the gift account. Send to.

  Then, in order to store the gift value in the user's mobile phone 100 on condition that the transfer quick report as the fund transfer completion notification indicating that the fund transfer (transfer) for the transfer request information is completed is received in step S2361. In step S2370, a gift giving process is performed as the special electronic money issuing process.

  The gift giving process is the same as the process described with reference to FIG. 21 except for the contents of the e-mail transmitted in steps S2336, S2338, S2342, and S2344 in FIG. Also, the contents of the e-mails transmitted in step S2336, step S2338, step S2342, and step S2344 in FIG. 21 of the gift giving process executed as a sub-routine of this regular gift giving process are respectively shown in FIGS. ) (C) The wording “to value purchase” in (d) is changed to the wording “to the target person of the grant condition of the specific target person”. For example, when the granting condition of the specific target person is “birthday”, the wording is “for birthday members”.

  After step S2370, in step S2371, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not there is a next assigned number in the consumption bulletin received in step S2361. If it is determined that the next grant number is not included in the consumption bulletin (NO in step S2371), the data processing unit 210 ends the regular gift grant process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a next assigned number in the consumption bulletin (in the case of YES in step S2371), in step S2372, the data processing unit 210 targets the next allocation number of the consumption bulletin received in step S2361. As the grant number, the process to be executed is advanced to step S2370, and the gift grant process is executed for the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information registered in the issue information DB 222 corresponding to the target grant number.

If it is determined that the migration completion notification has not been received (NO in step S2161), data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S2061.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the migration completion notification has been received (YES in step S2161), data processing unit 210 receives the number assigned to the storage of the value from mobile phone 100 in step S2162. A number is issued, the deposit number issued in step S2163, the deposit balance that is the value balance indicated by the value balance information included in the balance shift request information received in step S2061, and the transfer completion notification received in step S2161 Are stored in the storage unit 220 in association with the mobile terminal information. That is, the storage number, deposit balance, and password stored in association with the mobile terminal information are stored in association with the processing status stored in the user information DB 221 in association with the mobile terminal information. Registered in the unit 220.

  In step S 2164, the data processing unit 210 transmits the custody number issued in step S 2162 to the mobile phone 100. In step S2165, the data processing unit 210 transmits a receipt number notification mail, which is an e-mail with the receipt number issued in step S2162, to the e-mail address of the mobile phone 100. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S2061.

  Returning to FIG. 38, in step S <b> 1616, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not a deposit number has been received from the electronic money management server 200. If it is determined that the deposit number has been received (YES in step S1616), in step S1617, the data processing unit 110 causes the display unit 140 to display a balance transfer completion screen.

  Proceeding to FIG. 40, the screen of FIG. 40C is a balance transfer completion screen displayed in step S1617. On the screen of FIG. 40 (c), a text indicating that the deposit of the value has been completed, a deposit number received in step S1616, and a text describing the return of the deposited value are displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 38, in step S1618, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not a confirmation operation has been performed on the balance transfer completion screen. If it is determined that a confirmation operation has been performed (YES in step S1618), in step S1619, the data processing unit 110 causes the display unit 140 to display the startup initial screen described with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  As described above, in the value deposit process, not only the value deposit but also the deletion process of the storage area for the electronic money game use service constructed in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is performed. The electronic money (value) as data stored in the storage unit 192 is also deleted by the processing.

  That is, since the electronic money stored in the storage unit 192 is deleted based on the selection of the “value deposit” menu on the screen shown in FIG. 37A, the “value deposit” is displayed on the same screen. Accepting a menu selection operation corresponds to accepting a deletion operation for requesting deletion of electronic money as data. Also, in response to the selection operation, sending balance transfer request information to the electronic money management server 200 in step S1602 of the value deposit process in FIG. 38 sends deletion request information for requesting deletion of electronic money as data.

Specifically, the electronic money management server 200 transmits the balance transfer response information (deletion response information) in step S2066 shown in FIG. 39 as the deletion process, and performs the process of receiving the reception response information in step S2067. Based on this, in order to update the item of the processing status to the deletion response completed, whether or not the deletion processing has been executed is indicated by whether or not the item of the processing status is a deletion response.

  Returning to FIG. 23, in step S1983, the data processing unit 110 determines whether the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has been received the balance transfer response updated in step S1607a of FIG. .

  If it is determined that the processing status has already received the balance transfer response (YES in step S1983), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1611 of the value deposit process in FIG. Thereby, the data processing unit 110 receives the balance transfer response information in step S1603. However, in the exchange with the remote issuing server 400 from step S1611 to step S1614, the storage area for the electronic money game use service due to a communication failure or the like. In step S 1611, the area deletion processing start request is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400 without transmitting balance transfer request information to the electronic money management server 200 again in step S 1602.

  That is, after the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 in step S1607a is updated to the balance transfer response received (delete response information received), the deletion of the storage area (value) for the electronic money game use service is completed. Steps in the processing of the electronic money application 111 shown in FIG. 18 when the communication with the remote issue server 400 is disconnected before the electronic money application 111 is started from the screen shown in FIG. S120, step S180, step S1100, step S1110, and step S191 are all determined to be NO, and the processing status confirmation processing of step S198 is executed.

  Then, in step S1983 of the processing information confirmation processing shown in FIG. 23, it is determined that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has received the balance transfer response, and step S1602 in FIG. 38 (balance transfer request as deletion request information) The process proceeds to step S1611 without going through (transmission of information), and a deletion process start request (deletion start request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400.

  Thereby, in step S2068, the electronic money management server 200 re-balances the balance transfer request information even though the processing status (deletion status) of the user information DB 221 shown in FIG. Since (deletion request information) is transmitted and the processing status in the electronic money management server 200 has been deleted, the deletion request is not accepted, and the subsequent deletion processing cannot be performed, and the value (for electronic money game use service) The inconvenience that the (storage area) cannot be deleted (in other words, the value cannot be deposited) can be avoided.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing status is not having received the balance transfer response (NO in step S1983), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1984. The processing after step S1984 will be described later.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the remote issue server 400 transmits the value return execution information to the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information included in the value return process start request information. The value return execution information is stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the contactless IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100, and the value of the amount indicated by the deposit balance information included in the value return process start request information. Is information for storing.

  42, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not value return execution information has been received from the remote issue server 400 in step S1722. If it is determined that the value return execution information has been received (YES in step S1722), in step S1723, the data processing unit 110 performs the return value writing process indicated by the value return execution information received from the remote issuing server 400. Execute. The return value writing process is a process for writing the value indicated by the value return execution information in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190.

  Specifically, in this return value writing process, the mobile phone 100 transmits the value of the amount indicated by the deposit balance information, which is write data, to the remote issuing server 400 by the electronic money application 111. The remote issuing server 400 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 without using the electronic money application, and writes the value received from the mobile phone 100 into the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. That is, the remote issuing server 400 instructs the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 to write the value (return value) of the amount indicated by the deposit balance information (sends return instruction information), and Accordingly, the control unit 191 writes a value in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 (that is, the control unit 191 constitutes a data return execution unit). In this case, when the value is already stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service of the storage unit 192, a process of writing the value of the amount obtained by adding the return value to the already stored value is performed. Such processing also corresponds to writing return value. When the value writing ends, the remote issue server 400 transmits return value writing end information to the mobile phone 100.

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured such that the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 writes the return value in response to an instruction from the remote issuing server 400 without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money application 111 may instruct the control unit 191 to write the return value in response to receiving the return instruction information from the remote issuing server 400.

  In addition, the remote issue server 400 has the mobile terminal information included in the value return process start request transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S1721 on the condition that the value is written in the storage area for the electronic money game use service. Correspondingly, the processing status of the value is stored as having been returned.

  The data processing unit 110 transmits a return value write request signal to the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and the control unit 191 stores the value in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192. May be written. In this case, the process of transmitting the return value write request signal from the data processing unit 110 to the control unit 191 corresponds to the process for adding value.

  Next, in step S <b> 1724, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the return value writing process has ended by receiving return value writing end information from the remote issuing server 400. If it is determined that the return value writing process has been completed (YES in step S1724), in step S1724a, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 to returned. Next, in step S1725, the data processing unit 110 acquires the value balance from the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and displays a return completion screen on the display unit 140. Let

  Proceeding to FIG. 44, the screen of FIG. 44D is the return completion screen displayed in step S1725. On the screen of FIG. 44 (d), the same chip ID as the screen of FIG. 17 (b), a sentence indicating that the return of the value is completed, the return amount is 1000 yen, and the balance of the value after the return Is displayed as 1000 yen.

  Returning to FIG. 42, in step S1726, the data processing unit 110 determines whether a confirmation operation has been performed on the return completion screen. If it is determined that the confirmation operation has been performed (YES in step S1726), in step S1727, the data processing unit 110 causes the display unit 140 to display the startup initial screen described with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 23, in step S1984, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has received the return information updated in step S1716 of FIG.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the return information has been received (YES in step S1984), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1721 of the value return process in FIG. Thereby, the data processing unit 110 receives the value return information in step S1715. However, if the value cannot be returned due to a communication failure or the like in the exchange with the remote issuing server 400 from step S1721 to step S1724, the data processing unit 110 again. Without sending the balance return request information to the electronic money management server 200 in step S1702, a value return process start request is sent to the remote issuing server 400 in step S1721.

  Specifically, after updating the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 in step S1716 to have received the return information, communication with the remote issuing server 400 is disconnected before the return of the value is completed, and the user When the activation operation of the electronic money application 111 is performed from the screen shown in FIG. 24A, all of steps S120, S180, S1100, S1110, and S191 are performed in the processing of the electronic money application 111 shown in FIG. It is determined as NO, and the processing status confirmation processing in step S198 is executed.

  Then, in step S1984 of the processing status confirmation processing shown in FIG. 23, it is determined that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has already been received return information, and goes through step S1714 (transmission of return execution information) in FIG. In step S1721, the value return process start request (return request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400. That is, in this case, accepting an activation operation of the electronic money application 111 from the user corresponds to accepting a return operation for requesting the return of electronic money.

  Thereby, in the electronic money management server 200, the balance return request information is transmitted again in spite of the fact that the processing status (return status) of the user information DB 221 has been updated in step S2274, and the electronic money management server Since the processing status at 200 has already been returned, the balance return request is not accepted, the subsequent return value writing process cannot be performed, and the inconvenience that the return of value cannot be received can be avoided.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing status is not the return information received (NO in step S1984), the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the electronic money application 111 that is the process that called the process.

  FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing the flow of the questionnaire process executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 49, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines whether or not a questionnaire to be distributed to the user has been selected via the data input unit 230 by the operator of the electronic money management server 200.

  If it is determined that a distribution questionnaire has not been selected (NO in step S2381), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2387.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the distribution questionnaire is selected (YES in step S2381), in step S2382, the data processing unit 210 selects the questionnaire No. of the questionnaire selected in step S2381 from among the members. The distribution target user who satisfies the conditions stored in the questionnaire distribution target person condition DB described with reference to FIG. 47 is determined.

  For example, if a questionnaire with “001” as “questionnaire No.” is selected as a distribution questionnaire, the gender of the user information DB in FIG. 4 is “in accordance with the conditions stored in the questionnaire distribution target person condition DB in FIG. The age calculated from the birthday of the user information DB in FIG. 4 is “20” to “30” and the transaction amount in the issue information DB in FIG. Thus, members whose response rates corresponding to the genre of the questionnaire in the member-specific questionnaire information DB of FIG. 50 to be described later are determined as distribution target users.

  Next, in step S2383, the data processing unit 210 is a questionnaire answer that is a link for accessing the questionnaire answer screen for answering the questionnaire selected in step S2381 to the distribution target user determined in step S2382. The communication unit 260 is controlled so as to distribute a questionnaire guidance mail which is an electronic mail with a URL for use. Note that the questionnaire No. 50 so as not to distribute the questionnaire guidance mail to the user who stores information indicating “done” as information indicating whether or not “distributed” in the member-specific questionnaire information DB of FIG. To do.

  Next, in step S2384, the data processing unit 210 stores the questionnaire No. of the questionnaire distributed in step S2383 stored in the questionnaire information DB of FIG. The number of distributions corresponding to is updated by adding the number of distribution target users.

  FIG. 50 is a diagram for explaining a member-specific questionnaire information database regarding distribution and answering of questionnaires for each member in the present embodiment. 50, in the member-specific questionnaire information DB, “questionnaire No.” and information indicating whether or not the questionnaire has been “distributed” to the member are stored in association with the “member ID”. Is done. In the information column indicating whether or not “distributed”, information indicating “done” is stored in the case of distribution, and information indicating “not yet” is stored in the case of non-distribution.

  Returning to FIG. 49, in step S2385, the data processing unit 210 determines the questionnaire No. of the questionnaire distributed in step S2383 for the distribution target user determined in step S2382. 50, the contents of the information column indicating whether or not the information has been stored, which is stored in the member-specific questionnaire information database described with reference to FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 50, the member-specific questionnaire information DB stores the response rate for each genre of the questionnaire of the user of the member ID in association with the “member ID”. Here, the denominator of the response rate genre of the “entertainment” genre of the user whose member ID is “1101”, that is, the distribution number of the questionnaire is “2”, and the numerator of the response rate, that is, the response number of the questionnaire is “1”. ”And the response rate is“ ½ ”.

  Similarly, the distribution number, the number of responses, and the response rate of the genres of “food”, “vehicle”, “sports”, and “preference items” of the user whose member ID is “1101” are “3”, “ 5 ”and“ 3/5 ”and“ 2 ”,“ 4 ”and“ 2/4 ”and“ 0 ”,“ 1 ”and“ 0/1 ”and“ 4 ”“ 4 ”and“ 4/4 ” It is remembered that there is.

  Returning to FIG. 49, in step S2386, the data processing unit 210 receives the questionnaire No. in the questionnaire distributed in step S2383. 47, the genre stored in the questionnaire distribution target person condition DB in FIG. 47 is read, and the response rate of the read genre stored in the member-specific questionnaire information DB described in FIG. By adding 1 to the denominator, i.e., the number of distributions, the response rates for each genre of the users who distributed the questionnaire are tabulated.

  For example, when a questionnaire with a genre of “entertainment” is distributed to a user with a member ID “1101”, the denominator of the denominator of the response rate of “entertainment” for the user with the member ID “1101” in the member-specific questionnaire information DB of FIG. Add “1” to “2” to “3”. Thereby, the response rate of the questionnaire about “entertainment” of the user with the member ID “1101” is tabulated as “1/3”.

  FIG. 51 is a first display screen diagram displayed on display unit 140 of mobile phone 100 when the questionnaire is distributed to mobile phone 100 in electronic money system 10 in the present embodiment.

  FIG. 51A is a screen showing the number of new messages in the e-mail function of the mobile phone 100. Here, the display of “mail unread 001” indicates that there is one unread mail among newly arrived electronic mails.

  When “mail unread 001” is selected on the screen of FIG. 51A, the contents of the new mail delivered from the electronic money management server 200 to the mobile phone 100 in step S2383 as shown in FIG. 51B. Is displayed. In the e-mail in FIG. 51 (b), a text requesting cooperation for a questionnaire regarding “pachinko, pachislot” and a URL that is a link for answering the questionnaire are displayed.

  This URL is a URL that can identify the user. Specifically, an item “uid = ***” is provided at the end of this URL, and the member of each user determined as a distribution target in step S2382 is added to the portion “***”. The ID is inserted, and the URL of the questionnaire response screen unique to each user is created and distributed. For example, the electronic mail shown in FIG. 51B is delivered to the user with the member ID “1101”. For this reason, when the electronic money management server 200 accesses the questionnaire response URL, the electronic money management server 200 refers to the end of the URL to identify the accessing user, that is, the user who answers the questionnaire. Can do.

  Therefore, as in the present embodiment, on the condition that the questionnaire to be distributed in step S2381 is determined, the questionnaire is distributed to the users to be distributed in step S2383, and the number of distributions is determined in steps S2384 and S2386. Instead of adding, the number of distributions may be added when the URL is accessed.

  When this link is selected on the screen of FIG. 51 (b), an access request to the questionnaire response screen is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200.

  Returning to FIG. 49, in step S2387, in the electronic money management server 200, the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is access to the questionnaire response URL, that is, whether an access request has been received. . If it is determined that there is no access (NO in step S2387), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process in step S2391.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is access to the answer URL (YES in step S2387), in step S2388, the data processing unit 210 selects the questionnaire No. in the questionnaire corresponding to the accessed URL. The questionnaire file name stored in the questionnaire information DB of FIG. 45 is referred to, and the questionnaire as shown in FIG. 51 (c) is based on the questionnaire content data stored in the file name. The answer screen is distributed to the mobile phone 100 accessed in step S2387.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a questionnaire is distributed to a user, in step S2383, an electronic mail that guides the questionnaire and is attached with a URL for questionnaire response is sent to the URL. A questionnaire response screen containing questionnaire contents and an answer form is distributed according to the access.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. The contents of the question may be transmitted to the e-mail distributed in step S2383, and a questionnaire response may be received from the user by e-mail, or the e-mail may be transmitted. Alternatively, a questionnaire homepage may be prepared, the user may be actively accessed to the homepage, and a questionnaire response screen may be distributed in response to the access.

  Proceeding to FIG. 51, in the screen of FIG. 51 (c), the text indicating the contents of the questions of the plurality of questionnaires, the input field for inputting the answers of each question, and the answer after finishing the input of the answers Is displayed, an “end input” button for starting transmission of the contents to the electronic money management server 200 is displayed.

  The question in Q1 is "Do you know Pachinko and pachislot maker Co., Ltd.?" The question format of Q1 is “selection format”. A radio button for selecting either “Yes” or “No” is displayed below the question of Q1.

  The question in Q2 is "Do you like pachinko or pachislot?" The question format of Q2 is “selection format”. A radio button for selecting either “pachinko” or “pachislot” is displayed below the question of Q2.

  The question in Q3 is "How many times do you go to the amusement park a month?" The question format of Q3 is “selection format”. A radio button for selecting one of “1 to 4 times”, “5 to 9 times”, “10 to 14 times”, and “15 to” is displayed below the question of Q3.

Sent. On the screen of FIG. 51 (d), a text indicating appreciation for cooperation with the questionnaire and a text indicating that gift value is given as a gratitude for the questionnaire are displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 49, in step S2391, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not the communication unit 260 has received an answer to the questionnaire. If it is determined that a questionnaire response has not been received (NO in step S2391), data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process in step S2381.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a questionnaire response has been received (YES in step S2391), in step S2392, the data processing unit 210 stores the response received in step S2391 stored in the questionnaire information DB of FIG. The corresponding questionnaire No. It is updated by adding 1 to the number of answers corresponding to.

  Referring to FIG. 50, the member-specific questionnaire information DB stores information indicating whether or not “answer” for the questionnaire is received from the member in association with “member ID” and “question No.”. The In the information column indicating whether or not “answer” has been received, information indicating “completed” is stored when the response has been received, and information indicating “not yet” is stored when the response has not been received. Remembered.

  Returning to FIG. 49, in step S2393, the data processing unit 210 determines the questionnaire No. of the questionnaire corresponding to the received answer for the user who sent the answer in step S2391. 50, the contents of the information column indicating whether or not an answer has been received, which is stored in the member-specific questionnaire information DB described with reference to FIG. 50, is set to “Done” indicating that the answer has been received.

  Next, in step S2394, the data processing unit 210 performs questionnaire questionnaire No. corresponding to the answer received in step S2391. In response to the genre stored in the questionnaire distribution target person condition DB of FIG. 47, the user who has transmitted the answer in step S2391 is read out stored in the member-specific questionnaire information DB described in FIG. By adding 1 to the numerator of the response rate of the genre, that is, the number of responses, the response rate for each genre of the user who sent the response is tabulated.

  For example, when an answer to a questionnaire with a genre of “entertainment” is received from a user with a member ID “1101”, the numerator of the response rate of “entertainment” for the user with the member ID “1101” in the member-specific questionnaire information DB of FIG. 1 is added to “2”. Thereby, the response rate of the questionnaire about “entertainment” of the user with the member ID “1101” is totaled as “2/2”.

  Next, in step S2395, the data processing unit 210 determines the gift value amount based on the content of the answer received in step S2391.

  Specifically, questionnaire No. An example in which the contents of the questionnaire of “001” include the contents of Q4 to Q8 whose question format is “selection format” in addition to the contents of Q9 to Q3 and Q9 and Q10 described in FIG. I will explain.

  From the setting contents set in the questionnaire grant amount DB of FIG. The method for giving a gift value for a questionnaire of “001” is a method for giving a gift value for each question format. For questions in the selection format, “100” yen is given to the “all questions” answer, and for questions in the free input format, “100” yen is given to the “every question” answer. Is granted.

  For this reason, when answers to all of the “selection type” questions from Q1 to Q8 are included in the received answers, it is determined to give 100 yen. Then, when answers to two questions of “free input format” of Q9 and Q10 are included in the received answer, it is determined to give 100 × 2 = 200 yen. Therefore, in this case, the gift value to be given is determined to be 100 + 200 = 300 yen in total. If only the “selection format” question is answered “all questions” and the “free input format” question is not answered, the gift value to be given is determined to be 100 + 0 = 100 yen. If at least one of the “selection format” questions is unanswered and one of the two questions “free input format” is answered, the gift value given is 0 + 100 × 1 = 100 yen Is determined. If at least one of the “selection format” questions is unanswered and the “free input format” question is unanswered, the gift value to be given is determined to be 0 + 100 × 0 = 0 yen.

  The processing from step S2314 to step S2324 is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 20, and therefore, repeated description will not be repeated. Next, in step S2330, the data processing unit 210 executes a gift giving process.

  As described above, the electronic money management server 200 is specified from the member ID at the end of the URL included in the access request in step S2387, on the condition that the answer to the questionnaire is accepted in step S2391. A special gift electronic money for storing in the user's mobile phone 100 a gift value as special electronic money, specifically, the amount of gift value determined based on the contents of the questionnaire response in step S2395. As money issue processing, gift grant processing is performed in step S2330.

  Specifically, in step S2315 of FIG. 49, a gift amount or the like is registered in the issue information DB of FIG. 5 in association with the member ID specified from the URL, and the issue information is acquired in step S2331 in the gift grant process of step S2330. The corresponding value purchase grant record in the DB is updated, and the gift value can be issued. Thereafter, when a value issuance request is transmitted from the mobile phone 100, the value issuance AP shown in FIG. 35 is executed, and the gift value is stored in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100.

  Also, in the questionnaire process of FIG. 49, as in the case of the gift registration process at the time of new registration in FIG. 20, the electronic money management server 200 starts from the gift account that is the first deposit account in the present invention in step S2316. Transfer that is a fund transfer request that requires the transfer of funds corresponding to the gift value (that is, the gift amount determined based on the contents of the questionnaire response in step S2395) to the electronic money account that is the deposit account of No. 2 The request information is transmitted to the financial institution server 500A of the financial institution provided with the gift account.

  And in order to memorize | store gift value in a user's mobile telephone 100 on the condition that the cancellation | release quick report as a fund transfer completion notification which shows that the money transfer (transfer) with respect to this transfer request information was completed was received in step S2321. In step S2330, a gift giving process is performed as the special electronic money issuing process.

  The gift giving process is the same as the process described with reference to FIG. 21 except for the contents of the e-mail transmitted in steps S2336, S2338, S2342, and S2344 in FIG. Therefore, the contents of the e-mail transmitted in step S2336, step S2338, step S2342, and step S2344 in FIG. 21 will be described.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a return operation signal has been received (YES in step S631), data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S632.

  In step S632, the data processing unit 610 resets the balance read from the prepaid card 371. Next, in step S633, the data processing unit 610 controls the card reader / writer 670 to return the prepaid card 371. Thereafter, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to the ball lending process of FIG. 57 which is the process of the caller of this prepaid ball lending process.

  Returning to FIG. 57, after the prepaid ball lending process is executed in step S690, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the cash input signal has not been received (NO in step S620), the data processing unit 610 stores the portable use prohibition information in the storage unit 620 in step S622 in the unit unauthorized registration process of FIG. It is determined whether or not it has been stored. That is, it is determined whether or not the use of the value in all mobile phones 100 is prohibited. If it is determined that the use of value in all mobile phones 100 is prohibited (YES in step S622), data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the use of the value in all the mobile phones 100 is not prohibited (NO in step S622), the data processing unit 610 executes processing from step S641 to step S648. Since the processing from step S641 to step S648 is the same as step S341 to step S348 of the ticket issuing processing described in FIG. 53, description thereof will not be repeated.

  In step S651, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not the remaining value is 0 yen. If it is determined that the value balance is 0 yen (YES in step S651), in step S652, the data processing unit 610 activates the application including the shortage balance information before subtraction similar to step S352 of the ticketing process in FIG. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled to transmit a signal to the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100. Thereafter, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined in step S651 whether the value balance is 0 yen. This is because the value in this embodiment is used only for games and the value is deducted in units of 100 yen, which is the unit of ball rental, so it is possible to lend a ball by determining whether it is 0 yen This is because it can be determined whether or not there is any remaining value. However, if the value can be used in places other than the game hall 30, it is determined in step S651 whether the remaining value is less than 100 yen which is the minimum amount that can be used for ball rental. Also good.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value balance is not 0 yen (NO in step S651), the data processing unit 610 determines whether the value balance is 1000 yen or more in step S653. If it is determined that the remaining value is 1000 yen or more (YES in step S653), in step S654, the data processing unit 610 sets 1000 yen as the purchase amount. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value balance is less than 1000 yen (NO in step S653), in step S655, the data processing unit 610 sets the value balance to the purchase price.

  In step S653 and step S654, since it is 1000 yen, in step S662, which will be described later, a rental ball equivalent to 1000 yen is paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a rental ball equivalent to 500 yen may be paid out. In this case, in step S653, it is determined whether the value balance is 500 yen or more. In step S654, the data processing unit 610 sets 500 yen as the purchase amount.

  After step S654 or step S655, in step S656, the data processing unit 610 stores the value equivalent to the purchase amount in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 as in step S356 of the ticketing process in FIG. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled so that a subtraction request signal for subtracting from the mobile phone 100 is transmitted.

  Then, in step S657, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not a subtraction end signal has been received from the mobile phone 100, as in step S357 of the ticketing process in FIG. If it is determined that the subtraction end signal has not been received (NO in step S657), data processing unit 610 repeats step S657.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the subtraction end signal has been received (YES in step S657), in step S658, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is 0 yen. To do. When it is determined that the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is 0 yen (YES in step S658), the data processing unit 610 subtracts the contactless IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 in step S659. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled so as to transmit an application activation signal including back balance shortage information.

  The balance shortage information after subtraction is information for transmitting to the mobile phone 100 that the amount of value stored in the mobile phone 100 is insufficient after the value is subtracted. The application activation signal is the same as that described in step S359.

  As in step S651, it may be determined in step S658 whether the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is less than 100 yen, which is the minimum amount that can be used for ball rental.

  Further, in addition to step S658, as in step S358 of the ticketing process of FIG. 53, it is determined whether or not the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is equal to or less than a predetermined amount. In the same manner as described above, an application activation signal including the subtraction remaining amount information may be transmitted to the mobile phone 100.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is not 0 yen (NO in step S658), or after step S659, the data processing unit 610 performs the processing from step S661 to step S663. Execute. Since the process from step S661 to step S663 is the same as the process from step S361 to step S363 of the ticket issuing process in FIG. 53, the description will not be repeated. After step S663, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  Processing from step S181 to step S185 of the electronic money application 111 executed when the application activation signal transmitted from the card unit 600 is received by the non-contact type IC chip 190 by executing step S659 or step S652 Since has been described with reference to FIG. 56, description thereof will not be repeated.

  FIG. 60 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the balance management application program 214 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 60, first, in step S291, data processing unit 210 of electronic money management server 200 determines whether or not transaction information has been received from store server 800. When the transaction information is received (YES in step S291), the data processing unit 210 performs transaction from the value balance stored in the issue information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information included in the transaction information in step S292. Subtract the transaction amount included in the information. Further, the transaction amount included in the transaction information is added to the transaction amount stored in the issuance information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information included in the transaction information. Further, the data processing unit 210 stores in the storage unit 220 the date and the transaction amount when the transaction information is received corresponding to the mobile terminal information included in the received transaction information. Then, the data processing unit 210 updates the latest one month transaction amount in the issuance information DB 222 with the sum of the transaction amounts whose stored dates are within the last one month.

  In this way, the value balance in the issue information DB 222 is subtracted from the transaction amount based on the transaction information transmitted from the store server 800 of the game hall 30 every predetermined time. There is a possibility that the amount of value actually stored in the mobile phone 100 does not match until the transaction information is received. Then, in step S2333 of the gift grant process shown in FIG. 21, it is determined whether or not the value balance in the issuance information DB 222 is the amount of value stored in the mobile phone 100 and the portable retention limit is exceeded. Is doing.

  In addition, in the gift grant process of step S2330 which shifts from the gift grant process at the time of charging shown in FIG. 31, it is based on the value balance and purchase amount acquired from the mobile phone 100 in step S2706 of the post-value payment process shown in FIG. Therefore, the value balance used in step S2333 of the gift giving process is accurate. In addition, in the gift granting process in step S2330 which shifts from the gift granting process at the time of new registration shown in FIG. 20, since it is normally after new registration, no value is charged and the value balance becomes zero.

  Therefore, the inconsistency with the stored value of the mobile phone 100 becomes a problem in the gift granting process in step S2370 which shifts from the regular gift granting process shown in FIG. 36. This is the timing for executing the periodic gift granting process. The problem is solved by synchronizing with the reception timing of transaction information from the store server 800. Further, even if the transaction information is acquired from the store server 800 in real time, it is also eliminated.

  After step S292, or when it is determined that transaction information has not been received (NO in step S291), the data processing unit 210 has a negative amount obtained by subtracting the transaction amount from the accumulated charge amount in step S281. It is determined whether or not there is a member ID.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID having a minus amount obtained by subtracting the transaction amount from the accumulated charge (in the case of YES in step S281), in step S282, the data processing unit 210 adds the number of frauds of the member ID once. To do.

  After step S282, or when it is determined that there is no member ID having a minus amount obtained by subtracting the transaction amount from the accumulated charge (in the case of NO in step S281), in step S283, the data processing unit 210 determines that the number of frauds It is determined whether or not there is one member ID.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID with one fraud count (YES in step S283), in step S284, the data processing unit 210 purchases using the mobile phone value of the mobile ID corresponding to the member ID. The fact that the card ID of the prepaid card is registered in the unit and the illegal medium information including the portable ID are transmitted to the game hall 30 side.

  After step S284, or when it is determined that there is no member ID with one fraud count (NO in step S283), in step S285, the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is a member ID with two fraud times. Judge whether or not.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID with two fraud times (YES in step S285), in step S286, the data processing unit 210 registers the portable ID corresponding to the member ID in the ticket vending machine 300, and Then, the fraudulent terminal information including the mobile ID corresponding to the member ID is transmitted to the game hall 30 side where the fraud has occurred. In step S287, the data processing unit 210 also transmits the unauthorized terminal information to other game halls in the same trade area as the game hall 30 in which the fraud has occurred. The game arcade where the data processing unit 210 transmits the fraudulent terminal information is not limited to the game hall 30 in which the fraud has occurred or other game halls in the same trade area as the game hall 30 in which the fraud has occurred. It may be a playground, or may be a playground adjacent to the playground 30 where fraud has occurred.

  After step S287, or when it is determined that there is no member ID for the number of fraud times 2 (NO in step S285), in step S288, the data processing unit 210 determines that the number of frauds that occurred in game arcades nationwide is 3. It is determined whether or not the number of times has been exceeded.

  If it is determined that the number of frauds that have occurred at game arcades nationwide is 3 or more (in the case of YES in step S288), in step S289, the data processing unit 210 transmits portable use prohibition information to the game hall 30 side. . In step S290, the data processing unit 210 also transmits the portable use prohibition information to the game hall 30 where the fraud has occurred and the game hall nationwide. In addition, although the case where the data processing unit 210 transmits the portable use prohibition information to the game halls nationwide other than the game hall 30 in which fraud has occurred has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game hall 30 in which fraud has occurred and It may be transmitted to another game arcade in the same trade area, or a game arcade 30 where fraud has occurred and a neighboring game arcade. In this case, in step S288, it may be determined whether or not the number of frauds that have occurred in the game hall that is the transmission target of the portable use prohibition information is three or more. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S291.

  FIG. 61 is a flowchart showing a flow of store server processing executed by store server 800 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 61, the data processing unit of store server 800 determines in step S811 whether transaction information has been received from ticket vending machine 300 or card unit 600.

  If it is determined that the transaction information has been received (YES in step S811), the data processing unit of the store server 800, in step S812, stores the issued prepaid card 371 for each mobile terminal information included in the received transaction information. The card ID, the ticket amount, the cash amount used for the ball rental, and the information for specifying the value amount used for the ticket issue, the ball rental are stored in the storage unit in association with each other.

  After step S812 or when it is determined that transaction information has not been received (NO in step S811), the data processing unit of the store server 800 sends the transaction information to the electronic money management server 200 last time in step S813. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the transmission. In the present embodiment, the predetermined time is 3 hours.

  If it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous transmission of the transaction information (YES in step S813), the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the mobile phone 100 after the previous transmission stored in the storage unit in step S814. Is sent to the electronic money management server 200.

  After step S814 or when it is determined that a predetermined time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of transaction information (NO in step S813), the data processing unit of the store server 800 obtains portable use prohibition information in step S821. It is determined whether it has been received from the electronic money management server 200.

  If it is determined that the portable use prohibition information has been received (YES in step S821), the data processing unit of the store server 800 sends the portable use prohibition information to all the ticket vending machines 300 and cards in the game hall 30 in step S822. Send to unit 600.

  After step S822, or when it is determined that the portable use prohibition information has not been received (NO in step S821), the data processing unit of the store server 800 acquires the unauthorized terminal information in step S823. It is determined whether or not the message is received from 200.

  If it is determined that the unauthorized terminal information has been received (YES in step S823), the data processing unit of the store server 800 transmits the unauthorized terminal information to all the ticket vending machines 300 and the card units 600 in the game hall 30 in step S824. Send to.

  After step S824 or when it is determined that fraudulent terminal information has not been received (NO in step S823), the data processing unit of the store server 800 obtains fraudulent medium information from the electronic money management server 200 in step S825. It is determined whether or not received from.

  If it is determined that the unauthorized medium information has been received (YES in step S825), the data processing unit of the store server 800 stores the portable ID included in the unauthorized medium information in the storage unit in step S826. Is transmitted to all the card units 600 in the game hall 30.

  After step S826 or when determining that the unauthorized medium information has not been received (NO in step S825), the data processing unit of the store server 800 returns the process to be executed to step S811.

(Explanation of error handling in the electronic money system 10)
As described in step S156 in FIG. 34, when the value writing process is completed, the value processing status (writing status) in the remote issuing server 400 is determined to have been written. Further, as described in step S157a, the value processing status in the mobile phone 100 is updated to written. However, if the mobile phone 100 fails to update the processing status in step S157a, the processing status of the mobile phone 100 remains received, that is, it has not been written, while the processing status of the remote issuing server 400 is written. It is finished. In this way, a mismatch occurs between the processing states of the two, and inconvenience occurs in the subsequent processing.

  For example, in the case of the present embodiment, when the electronic money application 111 is activated on the mobile phone 100 without matching, it is determined in step S1982 of the processing status confirmation processing of step S198 that the processing status has already been received. Then, the process proceeds to step S154 in FIG. 34, and a write process start request is transmitted to the remote issue server 400 including the purchase number of the value. However, in the remote issue server 400, the value of the purchase number included in the write process start request transmitted from the mobile phone 100 is already managed as having been written, so this write process start request is accepted. Absent.

  Therefore, the writing process start request is repeatedly transmitted from the mobile phone 100 every time the electronic money application 111 is activated, but cannot be received by the remote issuing server 400, and therefore other processes cannot be executed by the mobile phone 100. Problem occurs. Further, if the next charge request can be transmitted to the electronic money management server 200 on condition that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100 has been written, If the update of the status to the written state fails, there arises a problem that charging is impossible at all thereafter.

  When such a processing state mismatch error occurs, the user informs the operator of the provider of electronic money game use service that the above-described error has occurred by telephone or email. contact.

  When the operator of the electronic money game use service provider in the present embodiment receives an error inquiry from the user by telephone or e-mail, the operator inquires the user of the e-mail address of the mobile phone 100, and The e-mail address of the telephone 100 is acquired.

  Next, the operator transmits an error handling start mail to the acquired e-mail address of the user's mobile phone 100. An error explanation page URL describing the error is attached to the error handling start mail.

  When the link to the error explanation page included in the error handling start mail is operated, the data processing unit 110 acquires the error explanation screen of the URL linked to the error explanation page and displays it on the display unit 140. The error explanation screen includes an explanation about the error and includes link information operated to activate the electronic money application 111. By selecting the link information, the data processing unit 110 activates the electronic money application 111.

  Returning to FIG. 18, in step S <b> 1100, the data processing unit 110 determines that the electronic money application 111 is activated from the error explanation screen, and in step S <b> 1101, the data processing unit 110 determines that the contactless IC chip 190 has been activated. The storage content such as the value balance of the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 is acquired, and the acquired storage content and the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 are sent to the electronic money management server 200. Send. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 ends the electronic money application 111.

  The electronic money management server 200 that has received the storage content and processing status of the storage unit 192 from the mobile phone 100 displays the received information on the display unit 240. That is, the electronic money management server 200 performs processing for displaying the acquired processing status on the display unit 240 as processing based on the processing status acquired from the mobile phone 100. The operator who confirms the display contents inquires the administrator of the remote issuing server 400 about the processing status (writing status) regarding the value of the mobile phone 100 in the remote issuing server 400.

  Then, for example, if the processing status acquired from the mobile phone 100 has been issued and the reply from the administrator of the remote issuing server 400 has been written, the operator can update the processing status on the mobile phone 100. Recognize that a failure has occurred. Further, when more careful is taken, it may be further confirmed whether or not the acquired value balance matches the value balance managed by the electronic money management server 200. If the two value balances match, it can be confirmed that the mobile phone 100 has written the value.

  After such confirmation, based on the operator's operation, the electronic money management server 200 transmits to the mobile phone 100 an electronic mail attached with link information operated to activate the electronic money application 111 and clear the processing status.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an e-mail attached with the link information as described above is transmitted as update instruction information for updating the processing status stored in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100. Although an example is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money management server 200 transmits update instruction information for instructing update of the processing status to the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100, and a link by the user The processing status may be updated based on reception of the update instruction information without an operation or the like.

  When the link information attached to the e-mail is selected and operated in the mobile phone 100 that has received the e-mail, the electronic money application 111 is activated, and YES is determined in step S1110 of the process shown in FIG. Made.

  If YES is determined in step S <b> 1110, in step S <b> 1111, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the electronic money application 111 is activated for the first time by operating the link information of the error handling completion mail. Specifically, it is determined whether it is the first time by determining whether the state of the operation flag indicating whether the link information of the error handling completion mail has been operated is on or off. .

  If it is determined that the operation flag is on, that is, the activation from the error handling completion mail is not the first time (NO in step S1111), the data processing unit 110 ends the electronic money application 111. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation flag is in an off state, that is, the activation from this error handling completion mail is the first time (YES in step S1111), in step S1112, the data processing unit 110 sets the operation flag. Turn on.

  In step S <b> 1113, the data processing unit 110 clears the processing status managed by the storage unit 120. The processing status is not limited to being cleared, and the processing status may be updated to written. As a result, the above-described problem that the write processing start request is continuously transmitted from the mobile phone 100 is solved.

  As described above, the data processing unit 110 receives the electronic mail that is the update instruction information in the present embodiment, and on the condition that the link information attached to the electronic mail is operated, the link information further The processing status forced update process for forcibly updating the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 is executed on the condition that this operation is the first time. In addition, as shown in FIG. 18, this process status forced update process (step S <b> 1113) is performed on condition that the link information attached to the e-mail as the update instruction information is operated, and the electronic money application Since it cannot be executed from the initial screen 111, there is no possibility of updating the processing status due to a user error or the like. Further, since this process status forced update process is executed on the condition that the link operation is the first time, the link information of the e-mail stored in the mobile phone 100 is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like. In addition, there is no possibility that the processing status is updated during the second and subsequent operations.

  (2-1) Conventionally, there has been an electronic charge for electronic money. The net charge means that the server charges electronic money to the mobile terminal via a network such as the Internet in response to a request for charge from the mobile terminal to the server. In this case, the portable terminal updates the log as electronic money is written, and transmits writing completion to the electronic money server. Further, the electronic money server also updates the transaction log (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-272560). However, in such a technique, when the log update in the mobile terminal fails, the management status on the mobile terminal side is unwritten, while the management status on the server side is already written. For this reason, there is a problem in that inconsistency occurs between the management statuses of the two, causing inconvenience in subsequent processing.

Processing status update means for updating the processing status, and the issuance / write processing server further transmits update instruction information for updating the processing status managed by the processing status management means to the portable terminal. An update instruction output means for outputting, and the mobile terminal updates the process status managed by the process status management means based on the reception of the update instruction information from the update instruction output means A process status forced update means for executing the process is provided. Since it comprises in this way, the mismatch of the situation managed with the portable terminal and the server regarding the writing of data can be eliminated, and the inconvenience of subsequent processing can be eliminated.

  Specifically, the data issuing / writing system (for example, the electronic money system 10) is a storage unit (for example, a non-contact type IC chip 190) in which data desired by the user (for example, electronic money information such as value) is written. A storage unit 192), a issuing process for issuing the data to the mobile terminal, and a writing process for writing the issued data into the storage unit And an issue / write processing server (for example, electronic money management server 200, settlement server 280, remote issue server 400). As described in steps S122a, S127, S153a, S157a, S1607a, S1614a, S1716, and S1724a, the data processing status (for example, processing status) is managed by the portable terminal. As described in step S154, a write request for requesting data writing on condition that the processing status managed by the mobile terminal is unwritten (eg, YES in step S151). Information (eg, a write process start request) is output for transmission to the issuing write process server. As described in the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5, a write status (for example, processing) indicating whether or not the data to be written to the mobile terminal has been written (for example, issued) by the issue / write processing server. Situation) is managed. Write that instructs writing of the data on condition that the managed write status of the data corresponding to the transmitted write request information is unwritten (for example, in the case of YES in step S274) The instruction information (for example, write execution information) is output for transmission to the request source mobile terminal that is the source mobile terminal of the write request information (for example, the write execution information of the remote issuing server 400) Send). The write status in which the data instructed to be written by the write instruction information is managed on condition that the write instruction information is output (for example, write execution is transmitted by the remote issuing server 400) Is updated to written (for example, writing completed) (for example, updating of the processing status by the remote issuing server 400 to completion of writing, or step S2796). As described in step S156, on the condition that the writing instruction information is received by the portable terminal (for example, YES in step S155), in order to write the data instructed to write by the writing instruction information (For example, writing processing) is executed. As described in step S157a, the processing status in which the data is managed on condition that the process for writing data is executed by the portable terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S157 or step S157b) Is updated to data written (for example, written). As described in step S2918, the issuance / write processing server outputs update instruction information (for example, error handling completion mail) for updating the managed processing status to be transmitted to the mobile terminal. As described in S1113, the managed processing status is updated by the mobile terminal based on the reception of the update instruction information (for example, on condition that the electronic money application 111 is activated from the error handling completion mail). Processing status forced update processing is executed. As a result, normally, the issue / write processing server updates the write status to “written” on condition that the write instruction information is output, and the mobile terminal stores the data instructed to write by the write instruction information. The processing status is updated to data written on condition that the processing for writing is executed. However, even if the mobile terminal fails to update the processing status to data written when the data is written, the processing status is forcibly updated by an instruction from the issuing / writing processing server. The As a result, it is possible to eliminate the inconsistency between the processing status in the portable terminal and the writing status in the issue writing processing server with respect to data writing, and the inconvenience of the subsequent processing can be eliminated.

  (2-2) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the issuing / writing processing server further includes a processing status acquisition unit that acquires a processing status from the portable terminal, and an acquisition status processing execution unit that executes a process based on the processing status acquired by the processing status acquisition unit. With. Specifically, as described in step S2914, the processing status is acquired from the portable terminal by the issuing and writing processing server. As described in steps S2916 to S2918, the issuing and writing processing server executes processing based on the acquired processing status. Thereby, processing based on the processing status acquired by the issuing / writing processing server is executed. Therefore, it is possible to execute necessary processing after the processing status is confirmed by the issuing / writing processing server.

  (2-3) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the acquisition status processing execution means determines whether the processing status acquired by the processing status acquisition means matches the writing status managed by the writing status management means, and the update The instruction output means outputs the update instruction information on condition that the acquisition status processing means determines that they do not match. Specifically, as described in step S2916 and step S2917a, the issued write processing server determines whether or not the acquired processing status matches the managed writing status. As described in step S2918, the update instruction information is output on condition that the issue / write processing server determines that they do not match (for example, YES in step S2917a). As a result, it is possible to save troubles such as confirmation work by the operator.

  (2-4) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the update instruction output means outputs an e-mail attached with link information to be operated to execute the processing status forced update process as the update instruction information and is transmitted from the update instruction output means. On the condition that the link information attached to the e-mail is operated, the process status forced update means executes the process status forced update process. Specifically, as described in step S2918, an e-mail (for example, error handling completion e-mail) attached with link information that is operated by the issuing / writing processing server to execute the process status forced update process is attached. Is output as update instruction information. As described in step S1113, the processing status forced update process is executed on the condition that the link information attached to the transmitted e-mail is operated by the mobile terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S1110). Is done. As a result, the processing on the issue / write processing server side is completed, and the user can be surely recognized that the processing status can be updated, and the operation burden on the user for updating can be reduced. Can do. In addition, since it is possible to prevent the processing status forced update process from being performed without outputting the update instruction information from the issuing / writing processing server, the processing status is not forcibly updated due to a user's erroneous operation or misuse. can do.

  (2-5) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. In other words, the portable terminal further includes a link operation determination unit that determines whether or not the link information operation is the first time, and the processing status forced update unit is configured such that the link operation determination unit performs the link information operation for the first time. The process status forced update process is executed on the condition that it is determined that. Specifically, as described in step S <b> 1111, the mobile terminal determines whether or not the link information operation is the first time. As described in step S1113, the processing status forced update process is executed on the condition that the portable terminal determines that the operation of the link information is the first time (for example, YES in step S1111). Thereby, even if the link information is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like, the processing status can be prevented from being updated each time.

  (3-1) Conventionally, there has been a system in which an issuance processing server that issues data and a writing processing server that performs data writing processing that writes issued data to a mobile terminal are provided separately (for example, stocks) Company NTT Docomo Tokai, a new mobile phone utilization example "i-mode (registered trademark) Felica (registered trademark)", [online], [December 9, 2005], Internet <URL: http: // www.docomo-tokai.co.jp/businesshub/bh/felica/donyu.html>). However, according to such a technique, when communication with the write processing server is disconnected in the data write processing after receiving data issuance from the issue processing server, the processing for data issuance is performed again. If the issuance process is performed again and the issuance request is transmitted to the issuance processing server, the issuance processing server has already issued the data, so that the issuance request is not accepted and data cannot be written.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. That is, a portable terminal provided with a storage means to which the data is written based on an instruction from a writing processing server that performs a writing process of data desired by the user, and issuance for issuing the data to the portable terminal A data issuing system comprising a processing server, wherein the portable terminal receives an issuing operation for accepting an issuance operation for requesting the issuance of data from a user, and the issuing operation is accepted by the issuing operation accepting unit. Issuance request output means for outputting issuance request information for requesting issuance of the data to the issuance processing server, the issuance processing server to the portable terminal. Issuance status management means for managing the issuance status indicating whether or not the data to be issued has been issued, and the issuance request transmitted from the issuance request output means On the condition that the issue status managed by the issue status management means of the data corresponding to the information is not issued, the data is transferred to the request source mobile terminal that is the mobile terminal that is the transmission source of the issue request information. A data output means that outputs data for transmission, and an issuance that updates the issuance status managed by the issuance status management means for the data to issued, on condition that the data is output by the data output means The mobile terminal further includes a processing status management unit that manages the processing status of the data, and the data received on the condition that the data transmitted from the data output unit is received. From the processing status update means for updating the processing status managed by the processing status management means to data received, and the data output means Write request output means for outputting write request information for requesting writing of the data to the storage means to be transmitted to the write processing server on condition that the received data has been received. Data write execution means for writing the data to the storage means on condition that the write instruction information for instructing writing of the data to the storage means is received from the write processing server, The processing status update unit updates the processing status managed by the processing status management unit of the data to the data written on condition that the data has been written by the data writing execution unit, In the portable terminal, when the issuing operation is accepted by the issuing operation accepting unit, the processing status managed by the processing status managing unit has been received. A request to execute the output of the write request information to the write processing server by the write request output means without executing the output of the issue request information by the issue request output means on the condition that Output execution control means is provided. With this configuration, even when communication with the write processing server is disconnected, data can be reliably written based on the issuance operation performed again.

  Specifically, the data issuing system (electronic money system 10) is from a writing processing server (for example, remote issuing server 400) that performs writing processing of data desired by the user (for example, electronic money information such as value). And a portable terminal (for example, the cellular phone 100) provided with a storage means (for example, the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190) to which data is written based on the instruction, and issues data to the portable terminal An issue processing server (for example, an electronic money management server 200, a settlement server 280). As described in step S194 or step S191, the mobile terminal issues an issuance operation for requesting the issuance of data (for example, “Charge the purchased value to the IC chip” with the circled number 2 on the screen of FIG. 17B). ”Or an operation for selecting takeover information on the screen of FIG. 35B) is received from the user. As described in step S152, the issue request information for requesting data issuance (for example, for example, in the case of YES in step S194 or step S191) (for example, in the case of YES in step S194 or step S191) by the mobile terminal. Value issue request information) is output for transmission to the issue processing server. As described in the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5, an issue status (for example, indicating whether the data to be issued to the mobile terminal has been issued (for example, issued) or not (for example, not issued) by the issue processing server (for example, , Processing status) is managed. As described in step S277, it is a condition that the issuance status of the data corresponding to the issuance request information transmitted by the issuance processing server is unissued (for example, YES in step S274). The data (for example, value issuance information) is output for transmission to the requesting mobile terminal that is the transmitting mobile terminal of the issuing request information. As described in step S279, on the condition that data is output (for example, in the case of YES in step S278), the issuance status managed for the data is updated to issued. As described in steps S122a, S127, S153a, S157a, S1607a, S1614a, S1716, and S1724a, the data processing status is managed by the portable terminal. As described in step S153a, on the condition that the transmitted data is received by the mobile terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S153), the processing status managed for the data is the data received ( For example, issuance information has been received). As described in step S154, write request information (for example, write request) that requests writing of the data on condition that the transmitted data is received by the mobile terminal (for example, YES in step S153). Is output for transmission to the write processing server. As described in step S156, the data is written on the condition that the mobile terminal has received the write instruction information instructing to write data from the write processing server (for example, YES in step S155). . As described in step S157a, on the condition that data has been written by the mobile terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S157), the processing status managed for the data is data written (for example, , Written). As described in step S154, when the issue operation is accepted by the mobile terminal, the issue request is made on condition that the managed processing status is data reception (for example, YES in step S151). The output of the write request information to the write processing server is executed without outputting the information (for example, without sending the value issuance request information in step S152). Thereby, after the data is transmitted by the issuance processing server and the issuance status is updated to issued, the communication with the writing processing server by the portable terminal for writing the data received by the portable terminal is disconnected. Even if there is, the processing status is updated to data received by the mobile terminal, so when the issuance operation is accepted again, the issuance request information is not sent to the issuance processing server again, and the data is written. A request is sent to the write processing server. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the issue processing server from receiving the issue request information transmitted from the portable terminal again for the data already issued by the issue processing server. As a result, even when communication with the write processing server is disconnected, data can be reliably written based on the issuance operation performed again.

  (4-1) Conventionally, an electronic money server that gives points according to consumption or charge of electronic money at a portable terminal, converts the points into electronic money (privileged electronic money), and charges the portable terminal. (For example, JP-A-2005-11116 (from the 0070th paragraph to the 0073th paragraph and from the 0112th paragraph to the 0126th paragraph)). However, in such a technique, when an operator of the electronic money server or the like illegally falsifies data related to the privileged electronic money (for example, the point grant rate, the point itself, or the privileged electronic money itself), there is no limit on damage. There is a problem of expanding.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. In other words, for the recording medium possessed by a user who satisfies a preset privilege granting condition, a privilege electronic money issuance process is executed for storing bonus electronic money to be granted to the user as a privilege. An electronic money server having a means, wherein the privileged electronic money is transferred from a first deposit account that is an account of an operating organization of the electronic money server and into which funds for privilege issuance are deposited to a second deposit account of the operating organization. Fund transfer request transmission means for transmitting a fund transfer request, which is information requesting to transfer funds corresponding to the above, to a financial institution server of a financial institution provided with the first deposit account, The issuing means receives the fund transfer completion notification indicating that the fund transfer for the fund transfer request transmitted by the fund transfer request transmitting means is completed. As a condition that, you run the benefits electronic money issuance process. Since it is configured in this way, it is possible to prevent the damage from expanding without limitation even when an operator or the like performs an illegal operation.

  Specifically, as described in step S2316 in FIGS. 20, 31 and 63 and step S2357 in FIG. 36, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 provides the electronic money game use service providing organization. Gift value from a financial institution used by an electronic money game usage service provider to which a gift granting fund is deposited from a gift account to an electronic money account of a financial institution used by an electronic money game usage service provider The transfer request information, which is information requesting to transfer the funds corresponding to, is transmitted to the financial institution server 500A of the financial institution where the gift account is provided. As described in step S2344 of the gift grant process in FIG. 21 and step S2344a in the gift grant process in FIG. 64, the data processor 210 indicates that the transfer of funds for the transferred transfer request information has been completed. To give a preset gift on condition that a breaking news has been received (YES in step S2321 in FIG. 20, 31 or 63, or YES in step S2361 in FIG. 36) In order to store the gift value given as a gift to the mobile phone 100 possessed by the user who satisfies the above conditions (for example, at the time of new registration, value charge, or being a specific target person) Gift giving process is executed. Thus, unless the funds are transferred from the gift account into which the gift granting funds are deposited to the electronic money account, the gift value is not stored in the mobile phone 100 possessed by the user. As a result, even when an operator or the like performs an illegal operation, it is possible to prevent damage from expanding beyond the gift-giving funds deposited in the gift account.

  (4-2) The present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the issuance permission judging means for judging whether or not the privilege electronic money issuance processing is allowed based on the remaining amount of electronic money stored in the recording medium and a predetermined upper limit amount with respect to the remaining amount. The privilege electronic money issuing means executes the privilege electronic money issuing process on the condition that the issue permission determination means determines that the privilege is permitted. Specifically, as described in step S2333 of FIGS. 21 and 64, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 stores the information in the mobile phone 100 managed by the issue information DB 222 of FIG. It is determined whether or not the gift issuance process is permitted based on the value balance and the portable holding limit. As described in step S2344 of the gift giving process in FIG. 21 and step S2344a in the gift giving process in FIG. 64, the data processing unit 210 determines that the gift issuing process is allowed (in FIGS. The gift issuance process is executed on the condition that it is YES in step S2333. In this way, the value balance that can be stored in the mobile phone 100 can be limited. As a result, it is possible to reliably reduce value damage when the mobile phone 100 is lost. In addition, excessive consumption of value by the user can be reliably prevented.

  (4-3) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, it further includes an e-mail transmission unit that transmits an e-mail for notifying that the privileged electronic money is issued to the user on the condition that it is determined to be permitted by the issuance permission determination unit. Specifically, as described in step S2344 in FIG. 21 and step S2344a in FIG. 64, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines that the gift issuing process is permitted (FIGS. 21 and 64). If the answer is YES in step S2333), an e-mail for notifying that the gift value is issued is transmitted to the user. As a result, it is possible to make the user recognize that the gift value is issued, and to prompt the user to issue the gift value.

  (4-4) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, it further includes an e-mail transmitting unit that transmits an e-mail for notifying that the privileged electronic money cannot be issued to the user on the condition that the issuance permission determining unit determines that it is not permitted. Specifically, as described in steps S2336 and S2338 in FIG. 21 and steps S2336a and S2338a in FIG. 64, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines that the gift issuing process is not permitted. On the condition that this has been done (NO in step S2333 of FIGS. 21 and 64), an e-mail for notifying that the gift value cannot be issued is transmitted to the user. As a result, the user can recognize that the gift value cannot be issued. Thereby, for example, the user is prevented from performing a useless operation for issuing a gift value.

  (4-5) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. In other words, on the condition that the fund transfer completion notification is received, the link electronic information to be operated to send the request for issuing the bonus electronic money issuing process to the electronic money server is attached and the bonus electronic money is issued. An e-mail transmitting means for transmitting an e-mail to notify the user to the user is further provided. Specifically, as described in step S2344 of FIG. 21 and step S2344a of FIG. 64, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 has received the consumption breaking news (FIGS. 20, 31 and FIG. The gift operated to transmit value issue request information for requesting the process for issuing the gift value on the condition that the answer is YES in step S2321 of 63 or YES in step S2361 of FIG. An e-mail for notifying that the gift value is issued with the value transfer information attached is transmitted to the user. As a result, the user can recognize that the gift value is issued, and the operation burden for the user to issue the gift value can be reduced.

  (4-6) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, it further comprises an issue frequency management means for managing the issue frequency information for specifying the issue frequency of the privileged electronic money for each recording medium, and the fund transfer request transmitting means is for a user's recording medium to which the privileged electronic money is granted. The fund transfer request is transmitted on the condition that the number of issuances specified by the issuance number information managed by the issuance number management means has not reached a preset upper limit number. Specifically, as described in the user information DB 221 in FIG. 4, step S235 in FIG. 11, and step S2325 in FIG. 31, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 provides the electronic money game use service. For each mobile phone 100 is managed. As described in step S2316 in FIG. 20, FIG. 31 and FIG. 63, and step S2357 in FIG. 36, the data processing unit 210 is a registration number counter managed for the mobile phone 100 of the user to which gift value is given. The condition that the specified number of registrations and the number of gift gifts at the time of charging have not reached the preset maximum number of times (YES in step S2312 of FIG. 20 or step S2312a of FIG. 31 or 63) As a result, transfer request information is transmitted. In this way, when gift value is given at the time of new registration, gift value is given to users who have not reached the maximum number of registrations, that is, users who have not reached the maximum number of issued gift values. Is done. As a result, it is possible to impart a gift value fairly to each user.

  In addition, by setting the upper limit number of times, for example, once, that is, giving gift value to new registration to one time, even if new registration and deregistration are repeated, gift value will be given only once, so new registration In addition, the act of repeatedly canceling registration can be prevented.

  (5-1) Conventionally, a management computer of a questionnaire survey company distributes a questionnaire to the user, and subtracts the reward for the answer to the questionnaire from the public charges or mail order charges selected by the user. There was an information return system (for example, JP-A-2006-244201 (paragraph 0032)). However, in such a technique, the privilege for answering the questionnaire is a discount for the reward from the utility bill. For this reason, since the freedom degree which utilizes the said privilege by a user is low, there exists a problem that the reply to a questionnaire cannot fully be promoted.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. That is, an electronic money server that executes processing for storing electronic money in a user's recording medium, the questionnaire distributing means for distributing a questionnaire to the user, and the questionnaire distributed by the questionnaire distributing means A response accepting means for accepting an answer to the user, and on the condition that the answer accepting means accepts the answer to the questionnaire, the privilege electronic money to be given to the user as a benefit to the recording medium of the user who made the answer Special electronic money issuing means for executing special electronic money issuing processing for storage. Since it comprises in this way, the reply to a questionnaire can be promoted.

  Specifically, the electronic money management server 200 executes an electronic money issuing process for storing value in the user's mobile phone 100. As described in step S2382, step S2383, step S2387, and step S2388 in FIG. 49, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 controls the communication unit 260 to distribute the questionnaire to the user. As described in step S2391 in FIG. 49, the communication unit 260 is controlled by the data processing unit 210 to accept an answer to the distributed questionnaire. As described in step S2330 of FIG. 49, on the condition that the answer to the questionnaire is accepted by the data processing unit 210 (YES in step S2391), the mobile phone 100 of the user who made the answer The gift giving process for storing the gift value is executed. For this reason, since it is the value memorize | stored in a user's mobile telephone 100 as a privilege with respect to the reply of a questionnaire, the freedom degree of the user who utilizes a privilege can be improved. As a result, responses to questionnaires can be promoted.

  (5-2) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. In other words, it further comprises a privilege grant amount determining means for determining the amount of the privilege electronic money based on the content of the answer received by the response accepting means, and the privilege electronic money issuing means is determined by the privilege grant amount determining means. The privilege electronic money issuing process for storing the amount of privileged electronic money is executed. Specifically, as described in step S2395 of FIG. 49, the amount of gift value is determined by the data processing unit 210 based on the content of the accepted answer. As described in step S2395 of FIG. 49, the data processing unit 210 executes a gift granting process for storing the determined gift value. Thereby, the electronic money management server 200 can give a gift value of an amount based on the content of the answer by the user, for example, an amount commensurate with the amount and quality of the user's answer.

  (5-3) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, for each questionnaire delivered by the questionnaire delivery means, a classification category setting means for setting a classification category for classifying each questionnaire based on the contents of the question, and for each user, a questionnaire is classified into each questionnaire classification category. Response rate counting means for counting information that can identify the response rate is further provided. Specifically, as described in the questionnaire setting screen in FIG. 46 and the questionnaire distribution target person condition DB in FIG. 47, a genre for classifying each questionnaire based on the question content is set for each distributed questionnaire. The As described in step S2386 and step S2394 of FIG. 49, for each user, the response rate to the questionnaire is aggregated for each genre of the questionnaire. For this reason, it is possible to use the information accumulated when determining the distribution target of the questionnaire, which can contribute to an efficient questionnaire.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the case where the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issue server 400 are provided in different vendors has been described. In the second embodiment, a case where the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issue server 400 are provided in the same vendor will be described.

  In the second embodiment, a case where the remote issue server 400 is included in the electronic money management server 200, that is, the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issue server 400 are configured by one computer will be described. (In this case, the one computer constitutes the issue / write processing server of the present invention), but is not limited to this, and is remotely issued to the user information DB 221 and issue information DB 222 of the electronic money management server 200 If the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issuance server 400 can share a DB related to electronic money, for example, the server 400 can be directly accessed, the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issuance server 400 are configured by separate computers. May be.

  When the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issuance server 400 are configured integrally as in the second embodiment, the initial activation process shown in FIG. 19 of the first embodiment is shown in FIG. In the value issue process shown, the value deposit process shown in FIG. 38, and the value return process shown in FIG. 42, a storage area for the electronic money game use service is constructed in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. The processing performed between the mobile phone 100 and the remote issuing server 400 in order to write the value or delete the storage area for the electronic money game use service is all performed with the electronic money management server 200. Will be held between. In the following, processing at the time of value issuance that is particularly relevant to the present invention and error handling processing when the update of the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100 fails will be described.

  FIG. 66 is a flowchart showing a flow of value issuing processing that is a subroutine of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 in the second embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 66, in step S152, the data processing unit 110 transmits value issue request information to the electronic money management server 200. Here, unlike the case of FIG. 34, the value issuance request information is information for requesting charge (issuance) of value and is stored in the storage area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. This is information for starting a writing process for writing a value, and is information including a member ID and portable terminal information. That is, the value issuance request information in FIG. 66 includes the value issuance request information (issue request information for requesting value issuance) and write processing start request information (write request information for requesting value writing) in FIG. It is information including.

  FIG. 67 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of a value issuing application program executed by the electronic money management server 200 according to the second embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 67, first, in step S271, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not there has been a value issue request by receiving value issue request information from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that there is no value issue request (NO in step S271), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S271.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a value issuance request (YES in step S271), in step S272, the data processing unit 210 uses the member ID and mobile terminal information included in the value issuance request information received in step S271. It is determined whether or not the information registered in the person information DB 211 is usable. If it is determined that it is not usable (NO in step S272), the data processing unit 210 transmits an unusable screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S273. The unusable screen is the same screen as the screen described in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it can be used (YES in step S272), in step S274, the data processing unit 210 stores the member ID and the uncharged value corresponding to the mobile terminal information in the issue information DB 222. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that there is no uncharged value (NO in step S274), the data processing unit 210 transmits an uncharged value no screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S275. Since the uncharged value non-screen has been described with reference to FIG. 33C, the overlapping description will not be repeated.

  When it is determined that there is an uncharged value (in the case of YES in step S274), when it is determined that there is an uncharged value at the time of charge request (in the case of YES in step S244), and there is an uncharged value at the time of balance transfer request (YES in step S2064), the data processing unit 210 executes the process of step S2761. Since the processing from Step S2761, Step S2762, and Step S2764 to Step S2767 is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 35, overlapping description will not be repeated.

  If it is determined that there is no value purchase grant record with the value of the gift reservation flag “1” (NO in step S2761), the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2793.

  When it is determined that there is a value purchase grant record in which the values of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are both “0” (YES in step S2762), in step S2763a, the data processing unit 210 A value writing process of the value purchase grant record in which the values of the first gift reservation flag and the second gift reservation flag are both “0” is executed. The writing process will be described in step S2793 described later. After step S2763a, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S2794.

  In step S2793, the data processing unit 210 executes a writing process. Specifically, the data processing unit 210 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information included in the value issuance request without using the electronic money application 111 to perform non-contact. The uncharged value stored in the issue information DB 222 is written in the storage unit 192 of the type IC chip 190.

  That is, the electronic money management server 200 instructs the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 to write an uncharged value (issued value) (sends write instruction information), and controls according to this. The unit 191 writes a value in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 (that is, the control unit 191 constitutes a data write execution unit). In this case, when the value is already stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service of the storage unit 192, a process of writing the value of the amount obtained by adding the issued value to the already stored value is performed. Such processing also corresponds to writing of issued value.

  That is, in the second embodiment, the mobile phone 100 includes the value issuance request information that serves as both the value issuance request information for requesting value issuance and the value writing request information for requesting writing of value in step S152 of FIG. Is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200, the electronic money management server 200 performs a process of issuing (transmitting) a value to the mobile phone 100 in step S2793 in FIG. A process of transmitting write instruction information for writing a value into the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is also performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 writes the issued value in accordance with an instruction from the electronic money management server 200 without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money application 111 may instruct the control unit 191 to write the issued value in response to receiving the write instruction information from the electronic money management server 200.

  In step S2794, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not the value writing is completed. If it is determined that the process has not been completed (NO in step S2794), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2794. On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing has been completed (YES in step S2794), data processing unit 210 transmits write completion information to mobile phone 100 in step S2795.

  In step S2796, the data processing unit 210 sets the processing status (writing status) of the value stored in the issuance information DB 222 shown in FIG. Update. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of step S271.

  Returning to FIG. 66, in step S157b, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the writing process is ended by receiving the writing end information from the electronic money management server 200. If it is determined that the writing process has been completed (YES in step S157b), in step S157a, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 to the written state. Since the processing after step S157a has been described with reference to FIG. 34, repeated description will not be repeated.

  FIG. 68 is a flowchart showing a flow of error handling processing executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 68, in the first embodiment, the operator performs the processing corresponding to the error in the processing status mismatch. In the second embodiment, a case will be described in which the electronic money management server 200 performs processing corresponding to an error of processing state mismatch as error handling processing. The error handling process is not limited to being executed by the electronic money management server 200 as long as the error handling process is executed by the server of the provider of the electronic money game use service.

  Referring to FIG. 68, first, when an operator of a provider of an electronic money game use service receives an error query from a user by telephone or email, the operator queries the email address of the mobile phone 100, The e-mail address of the user's mobile phone 100 is acquired.

  Next, the operator operates the electronic money management server 200 so as to transmit an error handling start mail to the e-mail address of the acquired user's mobile phone 100.

  In response to this operation, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 transmits an error handling start mail to the e-mail address of the user's mobile phone 100 in step S2911. An error explanation page URL describing the error is attached to the error handling start mail.

  When the link to the error explanation page included in the error handling start mail is operated, the data processing unit 110 acquires the error explanation screen in the electronic money management server 200 indicated by the URL linked to the error explanation page. An error explanation screen acquisition request is sent.

  In step S2912, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines whether an error explanation screen acquisition request has been received from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that an error explanation screen acquisition request has not been received (NO in step S2912), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2912. On the other hand, if it is determined that an error explanation screen acquisition request has been received (YES in step S2912), in step S2913, data processing unit 210 transmits the error explanation screen to mobile phone 100 that is the source of the error explanation screen acquisition request. .

  The data processing unit 100 of the mobile phone 100 acquires an error explanation screen from the electronic money management server 200 and displays it on the display unit 140. The error explanation screen includes an explanation about the error and includes link information operated to activate the electronic money application 111. By selecting the link information, the data processing unit 110 activates the electronic money application 111. Then, by executing the process of step S1101 described above with reference to FIG. 18, the storage contents of the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 such as the value balance and the processing status managed by the storage unit 120 are managed by electronic money management. It is transmitted to the server 200.

  In step S <b> 2914, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines whether the storage contents and processing status of the non-contact type IC chip 190 are received from the user's mobile phone 100. If it is determined that the storage content and processing status of non-contact type IC chip 190 have not been received (NO in step S2914), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2914.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the stored content of the non-contact type IC chip 190 has been received (YES in step S2914), in step S2916, the data processing unit 210 stores the storage unit of the user's mobile phone 100 received in step S2914. The processing status managed in 120 and the value balance that is the storage content of the non-contact type IC chip 190, the processing status of the value written in the mobile phone 100 stored in the issue information DB 222, and the issue information DB 222 in FIG. Is compared with the value balance stored in. If it is determined that the processing status is not inconsistent (NO in step S2917a), the data processing unit 210 returns the processing to be executed to the processing in step S2911, because there is no need to perform processing for the processing status inconsistency.

  If the processing statuses do not match (YES in step S2917a) and it is determined that the value balances do not match (NO in step S2917b), the value may not be written, and the operator Since it is necessary to deal with an error, in step S2917c, the data processing unit 210 displays on the display unit 240 that the processing status and the value balance are inconsistent between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200. Notify the operator.

  In step S2917d, the data processing unit 210 determines whether a confirmation operation is input from the data input unit 230 by the operator. If it is determined that there is no confirmation operation (NO in step S2917d), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2917d. On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a confirmation operation (YES in step S2917d), data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process in step S2911.

  If the processing statuses do not match (YES in step S2917a) and it is determined that the value balances match (YES in step S2917b), the value is written but the processing status is updated to written In step S2918, the data processing unit 210 transmits an error handling completion mail to the user's mobile phone 100 in order to forcibly update the processing status. A link for starting the electronic money application 111 and clearing the processing status is attached to the error handling completion mail. After step S2918, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of step S2911.

  Here, the value processing status and the value balance are compared. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and only the value processing status may be compared without comparing the value balance.

  When the link information attached to the error handling completion mail is selected on the mobile phone 100 that has received the error handling completion mail, the electronic money application 111 is activated, and in step S1110 of the process shown in FIG. A determination of YES is made, the processing after step S1111 is executed, and the processing status of the storage unit 120 is cleared. Since the processing from step S1111 has been described with reference to FIG. 18 described above, repeated description will not be repeated.

  As described above, the data processing unit 110 receives the error handling completion mail that is the update instruction information in the present embodiment, and further, on condition that the link information attached to the error handling completion mail is operated. Executes a process status forced update process for forcibly updating the process status managed in the storage unit 120 on the condition that the operation of the link information is the first time. Further, as described with reference to FIG. 18, this process status forced update process (step S <b> 1113) is performed on condition that the link information attached to the error handling completion mail as the update instruction information is operated. Since it cannot be executed from the initial screen or the like of the money application 111, there is no possibility that the processing status is updated due to a user error or the like. Further, since this process status forced update process is executed on the condition that the link operation is the first time, the link information of the e-mail stored in the mobile phone 100 is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like. In addition, there is no possibility that the processing status is updated during the second and subsequent operations.

  In addition, in the electronic money management server 200, as described in step S2796, the processing status is updated to the completion of writing on the condition that the writing process ends, and in the mobile phone 100, as described in step S157a, The processing status is updated to “written” on condition that the writing process is executed. However, even when the mobile phone 100 fails to update the processing status to the written state when the value is written, as described in steps S2918 and S1113, the electronic money management server 200 The processing status is forcibly updated by the instruction. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the inconsistency between the processing statuses of the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 with respect to the value writing, and to eliminate the inconvenience of the subsequent processing.

  Further, as described in steps S2914 to S2918, the electronic money management server 200 executes processing based on the processing status acquired from the mobile phone 100. Therefore, necessary processing can be executed after the processing status is confirmed by the electronic money management server 200.

  Further, as described in steps S2916 to S2918, the electronic money management server 200 determines whether or not the processing statuses of the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 match, and determines that they do not match. On this condition, an error handling completion mail for clearing the processing status of the mobile phone 100 is transmitted. For this reason, it is possible to save time and labor for confirmation by the operator.

  Further, as described in steps S2918, S1110, and step S1113, on condition that the error handling completion mail is transmitted by the electronic money management server 200 and the link information attached to the error handling completion mail is operated. Since the processing status is cleared, the processing on the electronic money management server 200 side is completed, and the user can be surely recognized that the processing status can be updated, and the processing status can be updated. The operation burden on the user can be reduced. In addition, since it is possible to prevent the processing status from being updated on the mobile phone 100 without sending an error handling completion mail from the electronic money management server 200, the processing status is compulsory due to a user's misoperation or misuse. It can be prevented from being updated.

  Further, as described in step S1111 and step S1113, the mobile phone 100 determines whether or not the link information is operated for the first time, and the processing status is cleared on the condition that it is determined that the operation is the first time. Therefore, even if the link information is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like, the processing status can be prevented from being updated each time.

Next, a modification of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the electronic money management server 200 determines that the payment for the value purchase is completed, on the condition that the consumption breaking news is received from the payment server 280 in step S269, and the step The value issuing information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in S277. In other words, as an example of the settlement process, the process for performing the settlement of the value for the purchase of the value from the financial institution has been described as an example.

  However, the processing for settlement is not limited to this. For example, the settlement process may be a process for obtaining a credit approval result in the determination of whether or not credit is possible for settlement of value for purchase of value to a credit card provider. Specifically, the value can be purchased with credit card credit, and the value issuance information may be transmitted to the mobile phone 100 even if the actual settlement has not been completed. In the value purchase process, the electronic money management server 200 or the mobile phone 100 stores the credit card provider, the card number, etc., and the electronic money management server 200 reads the credit card provider, the card number, etc. Acquired from the mobile phone 100 and inquires of the provider whether the credit is acceptable or not. If there is a reply of credit approval, the post-value-payment processing shown in FIG. You should do it.

  (2) In the embodiment described above, transaction information is transmitted from the ticket vending machine 300 to the electronic money management server 200 via the store server 800 every predetermined time. For this reason, the value balance of the mobile phone 100 managed by the electronic money management server 200 is not always accurate. Therefore, when value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200, the value balance is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 in step S1602. The electronic money management server 200 stores the value balance transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S2163 as a deposit balance.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. When value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 so that transaction information is transmitted from the ticket vending machine 300 to the electronic money management server 200 in real time, the electronic money management is performed. The value balance of the mobile phone 100 managed by the server 200 may be stored as a deposit balance. In this case, the balance return request information transmitted in step S1702 may not include the value balance. Similarly, in step S251, the portable holding limit is determined based on the value balance included in the charge request information transmitted in step S133, but the transaction information is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200 in real time. In this case, in step S133, it may be transmitted to the charge request information not including the value balance.

  (3) In the above-described embodiment, the balance return request information not including the deposit number is transmitted in step S1702, and the deposit number is transmitted in step S1706. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the balance request information including the deposit number may be transmitted in step S1706 without transmitting the balance return request information in step S1702.

  (4) In the embodiment described above, if there is an uncharged value when the value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 (YES in step S2064), the uncharged value is temporarily stored. After the mobile phone 100 is charged, the value balance of the mobile phone 100 is stored as a deposit balance.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200, the electronic money management server 200 adds the value balance received from the mobile phone 100 and the amount of uncharged value. Then, the added amount may be stored as a deposit balance.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, if it is determined in step S2177 that the sum of the value balance and the deposit balance is larger than the portable retention limit, a portable retention limit return impossible screen is displayed in step S2178. Sent to not return the deposit balance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to return the amount of the balance to be added to the value balance that does not exceed the carry-on retention limit amount and set the remaining amount as the uncharged value.

  (6) In the present embodiment, the area reservation information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S236 of the initial registration AP 211 shown in FIG. Since the storage area of the mobile phone 100 is constructed (reserved), the uncharge deletion counter is incremented by 1 in step S235 prior to the transmission of the area reservation information, so that the storage unit 192 of the mobile phone 100 uses the electronic money game usage service In step S216, it is determined whether or not the value of the uncharge deletion counter has reached 3, and if so, transmission of the area construction information is prohibited. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of times to be determined in step S216 is one, Instead of counting the number of times in the large deletion counter, a flag indicating that the area has been constructed is set in relation to the transmission of the area construction information in step S236, and in step S2703 of the post-value value settlement processing shown in FIG. By deleting the flag, it is managed whether or not the settlement of the area construction consideration has been completed. In step S216, it is determined whether or not the flag is set. If the flag is set, the settlement of the area construction consideration is settled. The transmission of the area construction information may be prohibited on the assumption that is not completed.

  In this embodiment, the uncharge deletion counter is managed for all mobile phones 100, but a database for registering only the mobile terminal information of mobile phones 100 for which the settlement processing for area construction consideration has not been completed is provided. It may be provided separately and the uncharge deletion counter may be managed in the database.

  (7) In the embodiment described above, the electronic money management server 200 and the settlement server 280 have been described as examples of the service providing server. However, it is not limited to a server, but may be a grid computing system that is a computer that is virtually constructed by connecting a plurality of computers via a network.

  (8) In the first embodiment described above, the mobile banking transition confirmation screen for confirming to the user whether or not to take over to the mobile banking is displayed in step S268 of FIG. 26 by the data processing unit of the electronic money management server 200. The transfer screen information to be displayed is transmitted to the mobile phone 100, and the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100 has received the transfer screen information from the electronic money management server 200 in step S117 of FIG. Accordingly, in steps S118 and S118a, a transition is made to mobile banking, mobile banking processing is performed, and settlement is performed. That is, the connection between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 is temporarily disconnected, the mobile phone 100 accesses the financial institution server 500 for settlement, and then the electronic money management server 200 is accessed again to access the electronic money. The information was written.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of transmitting the takeover screen information in step S268 by the electronic money management server 200, payment is made by the financial institution server 500 from the mobile phone 100 via the electronic money management server 200. You may be able to do it. By doing so, exchange of payment is performed while the connection between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 that is divided when the mobile phone 100 and the financial institution server 500 exchange payments.

It may be changed at another timing, or a menu for changing the financial institution is provided in the main menu of the electronic money application, and a request for changing the financial institution designation information from the mobile phone 100 of the player is made. It may be changed when it occurs.

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, information indicating the remaining amount is recorded on the prepaid card 371. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only the card ID is recorded in the prepaid card 371, and information indicating the remaining amount is managed in correspondence with the card ID in a server such as the store server 800, and the prepaid card 371 is issued. Or when the remaining amount is subtracted from the prepaid card 371, the store server 800 may be exchanged.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, the mobile phone 100 has been described as an example of the information terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any information terminal that is operated by the user may be used. For example, the information terminal may be a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), a personal computer, a television receiver, a car navigation system, or the like. In addition, as an example of the transaction, the value purchase grant record is updated in step S2704 by the post-value-payment settlement processing (that is, purchase of value), but not limited to this, Alternatively, a part or all of the amount charged for the delivery may be paid. In other words, when an action for buying and selling is established, it may be anything as long as a part or all of the billing amount generated in the buying and selling action is paid. In this case, for example, the transaction request information output from the information terminal corresponds to information indicating that delivery of goods or stocks is desired. When the information terminal outputs the information to the server, the information terminal receives the communication destination designation information. Further, the information terminal transmits settlement request information for requesting settlement of an amount necessary for receiving delivery of goods, stocks, etc., to a financial institution server designated by the communication destination designation information. Then, the server performs, as a transaction process, a process of recording that the amount charged for the delivery of goods, stocks, etc. has been paid on the condition that the settlement of the settlement is completed at the financial institution server that has received the settlement request information. After such transaction processing is performed, an attendant or the like confirms the recorded contents of the server and ships goods.

  Further, when the mobile phone 100 receives an input of a backup operation from the user, the backup may be performed.

  Alternatively, the backup may be performed every time a predetermined period (for example, 3 hours, 1 day, etc.) has elapsed since the previous backup was performed by the mobile phone 100.

  (16) In the embodiment described above, the integrated value of the value purchased on the day is integrated as the integrated value on the day. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the accumulated amount of value purchased during a predetermined period (for example, a period from 6 am to 6 am on the next day) may be accumulated. That is, the predetermined period may be changed as appropriate according to the situation.

  (17) In the above-described embodiment, the balance management AP 214 in FIG. 60 performs fraud processing according to the frequency of fraud for each member ID. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and processing for fraud may be performed according to the frequency of the total number of frauds in all mobile phones.

  (18) As described in step S281, the occurrence of an illegal transaction is determined based on whether or not the transaction amount exceeds the accumulated charge amount. If there is an unauthorized transaction exceeding the accumulated charge amount, the operation is described in step S284. As described above, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of a prepaid card 371 purchased by an unauthorized mobile phone 100 of the mobile ID of the member ID that performed the illegal transaction may be used.

  In addition, as described in step S281, the occurrence of fraudulent transactions is determined based on whether or not the transaction amount exceeds the accumulated charge amount. If there is an unauthorized transaction that exceeds the accumulated charge amount, it is described in step S286. As described above, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of the unauthorized mobile phone 100 value of the mobile ID of the member ID that performed the illegal transaction may be used.

  In addition, as described in step S281, the occurrence of fraudulent transactions is determined based on whether or not the transaction amount exceeds the accumulated charge amount. If there is an unauthorized transaction that exceeds the accumulated charge amount, it is described in step S289. Thus, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of value on all mobile phones in a hall (amusement hall) where an illegal transaction has occurred may be used.

  (19) In the embodiment described above, based on the portable use prohibition information and the illegal terminal storage information transmitted from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 via the store server 800, the data processing unit 310 of the ticket vending machine 300. Stores the portable use prohibition information and the illegal terminal information in the storage unit 320. In the ticket vending machine 300, the portable ID of the mobile phone 100 used to purchase the prepaid card 371 is not the unauthorized terminal information stored in the storage unit 310, or the portable use prohibition information is stored in the storage unit 310. It is judged whether or not it is stored, and when it is memorized, the transaction is disabled. That is, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which it is determined whether or not the ticket vending machine 300 is an illegal transaction, and control is performed to disable the transaction when it is determined to be an illegal transaction has been described.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the store server 800 determines whether or not the transaction is fraudulent. When the fraudulent transaction is determined, the store server 800 transmits a transaction impossibility signal indicating that the transaction is impossible to the ticket vending machine 300, When the ticket vending machine 300 receives a transaction impossible signal, control may be performed to disable the transaction. For example, the data processing unit of the store server 800 stores portable use prohibition information and unauthorized terminal storage information from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 in the storage unit of the store server 800. On the other hand, every time a transaction is performed, the data processing unit 310 of the ticket vending machine 300 transmits the portable ID of the mobile phone 100 used for the transaction to the store server 800. The data processing unit of the store server 800 determines whether the transmitted mobile ID is not the illegal terminal information stored in the storage unit or whether the mobile use prohibition information is stored in the storage unit, and is stored. A transaction impossible signal indicating that the transaction is disabled when the customer is present is transmitted to the ticket vending machine 300. The data processing unit 310 of the ticket vending machine 300 controls to disable the transaction based on the transaction disable signal.

  Further, based on the unauthorized medium information transmitted from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 to the store server 800, the data processing unit of the store server 800 stores a storage unit corresponding to the mobile ID included in the unauthorized medium information. Is transmitted to the card unit 600 as an unauthorized card ID and stored in the storage unit 620 of the card unit 600. Then, in the card unit 600, it is determined whether or not the card ID of the prepaid card used for ball rental is an illegal card ID stored in the storage unit 620, and if the card ID is an illegal card ID, the ball rental is disabled. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the card unit 600 determines whether or not the transaction is an illegal transaction, and the example of performing the control to disable the ball lending when it is determined that the transaction is an illegal transaction has been described.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the store server 800 determines whether or not the transaction is an illegal transaction, and when it is determined that the transaction is an illegal transaction, a non-ball rental signal indicating that the ball cannot be borrowed is transmitted to the card unit 600. Then, when the card unit 600 receives a ball lending impossible signal, control to disable ball lending may be performed. For example, the data processing unit of the store server 800 is a storage unit corresponding to the mobile ID included in the unauthorized medium information based on the unauthorized medium information transmitted from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 to the store server 800. Is stored in the storage unit of the store server 800 as an illegal card ID. On the other hand, the data processing unit 610 of the card unit 600 transmits the card ID of the prepaid card used for ball lending to the store server 800 every time ball lending is performed. The data processing unit of the store server 800 determines whether or not the transmitted card ID is an unauthorized card ID stored in the storage unit, and indicates that the ball cannot be loaned when stored. A signal is transmitted to the card unit 600. The data processing unit 610 of the card unit 600 performs control to disable ball lending based on the ball lend-unavailable signal.

  (20) The settlement processing for the settlement of the compensation related to the charge of electronic money is not limited to the transfer processing using mobile banking provided by the financial institution server 500 or the credit processing provided by the credit card institution server, Processing for performing settlement using electronic money or the like different from the value provided by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment may be used. In the present embodiment, the settlement processing is performed by communication between the mobile phone 100 and the financial institution server 500. However, the present invention is not limited to the use of the mobile phone 100, and the user provides electronic money. Payment may be made by making a cash transfer to the institution's account, and the electronic money management server 200 may be notified of a withdrawal quick report from the financial institution server where the transfer has been made.
