  The user of the authority terminal 100 (that is, the authority holder) determines whether to cancel the purchase restriction based on the displayed product information. For example, if the authority holder requests a product to be purchased from the restriction target person, the purchase restriction is released. In this case, the authority holder operates the operation unit 130 of the authority terminal 100 and selects the “approval” button. On the other hand, if the displayed product is not the requested product, the purchase restriction is not released. In this case, the authority holder selects the “reject” button by operating the operation unit 130.

  By the operation of the authority holder, the product code indicating the displayed product and the approval / disapproval result (hereinafter referred to as “approval information”) are transmitted to the purchaser terminal 100 by the communication control unit 120 of the authority terminal 100. The

  In the purchaser terminal 100, when the communication control unit 120 receives the approval information transmitted from the authorized person terminal 100 (step S204: Yes), the approval information is input to the control unit 110. The purchase restriction processing unit 112 accesses the restriction release information storage area 183, sets the approval flag of the release permission / denial table based on the received approval information (step S205), and ends the process.

  In this case, if the received approval information indicates approval of purchase (that is, release of purchase restriction), “1” is set in the approval flag of the product, and the approval information indicates rejection of purchase ( That is, if the purchase restriction is maintained), “0” is set in the approval flag of the product.

  On the other hand, when the approval method for releasing the restriction is set to be approved by the person to be restricted rather than the authority holder (step S202: No), the purchase restriction processing unit 112 is shown in FIG. 9B. Such a restriction release permission / denial screen 14B is displayed on the display unit 140 of the purchaser terminal 100. As shown in the figure, the restriction release permission / denial screen 14B displays that the product to be purchased contains a purchase restriction product and the product information of the product. As a result, the restriction target person is notified that the purchase restriction product is included in the purchase planned product.

  In addition, for example, “cancel”, “do not cancel”, “confirm”, and the like are displayed as software buttons selected by the person to be restricted. That is, it is determined whether or not the restriction target person himself / herself releases the purchase restriction, and these buttons are selected.

  Here, the button “Release” is selected to cancel the purchase restriction of the displayed product. For example, “Release” is selected when the person to be restricted can confirm that the product has been requested in advance by an authority or the like.

  The button “Do not cancel” is selected when the purchase restriction of the displayed product is not cancelled. For example, if the person to be restricted can confirm that the displayed product is different from the product requested by the authority holder, or if the product is selected without knowing that it is a purchase restricted product, etc. Select "Do not cancel".

  The button “confirm” is selected when confirming permission / rejection of restriction cancellation of the displayed product with the authority holder. For example, “Confirm” is selected when the person to be restricted cannot determine whether the displayed product is a product requested by an authority or the like.

  Therefore, when “confirmation” is selected (step S206: Yes), the purchase restriction processing unit 112 performs the processing of the above-described steps S203 to S205, and asks the right holder to permit or cancel the purchase restriction. An approval flag is set according to the result of acceptance.

  On the other hand, when “cancel” or “not cancel” is selected (step S206: No), the purchase restriction processing unit 112 sets an approval flag according to the selection result (step S205). That is, when “cancel” is selected, “1” is set to the approval flag of the product, and when “do not cancel” is selected, “0” is set to the approval flag of the product.

  Note that, when the user of the purchaser terminal 100 makes a decision to cancel the restriction, for example, the operation may be performed only when authentication is performed by personal authentication using a password or the like. Thereby, illegal purchases by a third party or the like can be prevented.

  In this way, before purchasing a product, the product information of the purchase target product is acquired by the purchaser terminal 100 (mobile communication terminal 100), and if a purchase restriction product is included, the restriction release is performed. The permission holder or restriction target person sets permission / rejection.

  Next, the restriction target person goes to the cash register of the store with the product to be purchased and performs accounting by electronic money settlement. In this case, the “settlement process” executed by the purchaser terminal 100 (mobile communication terminal 100) and the store cash register terminal 200 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This settlement process is started when the cashier operation for purchase by the person to be restricted is started at the store cashier terminal 200. That is, similarly to the normal purchase operation, the process starts when the store clerk operates the store cash register terminal 200 and starts reading the barcode of the purchase target product.

  In this case, the bar code of the purchase target product is sequentially read by the POS processing unit 250 (step S301), and the product code of the purchase target product and the corresponding product name information and sales price information are acquired. At this time, the acquired product code, product name information, sales price information, and the like are sequentially stored in the storage unit 260 and displayed on the display unit 240.

  When barcode reading is performed on all of the presented purchase target products, the store clerk operates the operation unit 230 to input that all target products have been read (step S302: Yes).

  At this point, the user (restricted person) of the purchaser terminal 100 (mobile communication terminal 100) uses the purchaser terminal 100 for the store cash register terminal 200 in order to make a payment using the electronic money function of the purchaser terminal 100. It is brought close to the non-contact type IC chip reader / writer unit 220. As described above, when the settlement is performed by the electronic money function of the mobile communication terminal 100, the store clerk operates the operation unit 230 of the store cash register terminal 200 to indicate that the electronic money settlement is performed using the non-contact type IC chip. Make input.

  Based on the input signal from the operation unit 230, the control unit 210 of the store cash register terminal 200 determines whether or not it is an electronic money payment (step S303).

  When it is not electronic money settlement (step S303: No), since it becomes accounting with normal money, the process ends.

  On the other hand, in the case of electronic money settlement (step S303: Yes), the control unit 210 operates the non-contact type IC chip reader / writer unit 220. Thereby, a radio wave is transmitted from the non-contact type IC chip reader / writer unit 220, and the electronic money processing unit 170 of the purchaser terminal 100 that is in proximity is excited, so that the purchaser terminal 100 and the store cash register terminal 200 are connected. In the meantime, wireless communication by the non-contact type IC chip is established (step S304).

  When wireless communication with the store cash register terminal 200 is established (step S305), the electronic money processing unit 170 of the purchaser terminal 100 notifies the control unit 110 to that effect. In this case, the payment processing unit 113 refers to the release permission / refusal table in the restriction release information storage area 183 and determines whether there is a record whose approval flag is “0”, thereby becoming a purchase restriction target. It is determined whether or not there is a commodity (step S306).

  When there is a purchase restriction target (step S306: Yes), the settlement processing unit 113 acquires a product code indicating the purchase restriction target product from the record in the release permission / refusal table. The settlement processing unit 113 further controls the electronic money processing unit 170 to transmit the acquired product code to the store cash register terminal 200 (step S307).

  In the store cash register terminal 200, the non-contact type IC chip reader / writer unit 220 receives the product code transmitted from the electronic money processing unit 170 and inputs it to the control unit 210. In this case, the control unit 210 removes the restriction by deleting the information corresponding to the received product code from the accounting object acquired by reading the barcode in step S301 and held in the storage unit 260. Purchase restriction items that have not been performed are excluded from accounting (step S308). In this case, the control unit 210 displays on the display unit 240 that the product has been excluded due to purchase restrictions and notifies the store clerk. The store clerk, for example, cancels the corresponding product so that it does not reach the person to be restricted.

  In this case, the control unit 210 of the store cash register terminal 200 calculates the accounting amount by adding the selling prices of the products other than the purchase-restricted products. The control unit 210 controls the non-contact type IC chip reader / writer unit 220 and transmits the calculated transaction amount to the purchaser terminal 100 (step S309).

  On the other hand, when there is no purchase restriction target (step S306: No), information transmission from the purchaser terminal 100 to the store cash register terminal 200 is not performed. In this case, the store cash register terminal 200 calculates the accounting amount by adding the sales prices for all the products read in step S301 and transmits them to the purchaser terminal 100 (step S309).

  In the purchaser terminal 100, the electronic money processing unit 170 receives the accounting amount transmitted from the store cash register terminal 200 and inputs it to the control unit 110. In this case, the settlement processing unit 113 accesses the electronic money information storage area 184, updates the balance by subtracting the accounting amount from the balance of the electronic money, and identifies the electronic money function assigned to the purchaser terminal 100. Information and information indicating completion of payment are transmitted from the electronic money processing unit 170 to the cashier terminal 200 (step S310). Upon completion of the payment, the payment processing unit 113 accesses the release permission / inhibition table in the restriction release information storage area 183, deletes the record related to the current purchase (step S311), and ends the process.

  The store cash register terminal 200 performs a predetermined settlement completion process based on the information transmitted from the purchaser terminal 100 (step S312), and ends the process.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, when using a mobile communication terminal in which restrictions are imposed on purchases using the electronic money function, the two-dimensional code attached to the product to be purchased is The product information obtained by reading with the camera function can be displayed on the mobile communication terminal or the mobile communication terminal of the authority holder, and the restriction can be released by the purchaser or the authority holder. If a minor purchases restricted purchases (such as alcoholic beverages or tobacco), the purchase restriction can be removed and purchased.

  In this case, it is possible to determine whether or not to release the restriction when selecting a product at a store or the like, so there is no need to set a restriction release target in advance. In the conventional preset method, for example, when the requested product is not in the store, the restriction cannot be lifted even if it is attempted to purchase a substitute product. In addition, it is possible to specify the right or wrong of the restriction release, and it is possible to make a more flexible product purchase.

  In addition, for products that are not approved for purchase by the authorized person, at the time of electronic money payment, the information is notified to a payment device such as a cash register terminal and excluded from the payment target. Can be prevented.

  In addition, since the restriction can be canceled before the accounting, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the accounting takes a long time, which may occur in the conventional method of releasing the restriction at the time of accounting. Thereby, efficient purchase can be performed in the store, which is convenient for both the user and the store.

  In the above embodiment, the product information is attached to the product by a two-dimensional code. For example, the manufacturer of the product can provide the product by printing it on a package. Since it can also be provided by creating and attaching a label, it can be realized easily and flexibly. Many mobile communication terminals are generally equipped with a camera function, and in most cases are equipped with a two-dimensional code reading function, so a special device is newly added to the mobile communication terminal. It can be easily realized without addition. In addition, even when there is information that cannot be included in the 2D code itself, such as product images, by including address information that can acquire such information, it is possible to acquire necessary and sufficient product information through communication. can do.

  Further, as in the above-described embodiment, for example, when a minor child and its parent use a mobile communication terminal, the child uses the restricted person and the parent as the authority holder, so that the terminal is used by the child. Can be set only by the parent, so that the parent can set whether the authorization holder can approve the purchase restriction or the restriction target person can perform the approval as necessary. Thus, for example, when requesting shopping to a younger child whose classification of the product is uncertain, when the parent approves the cancellation of the restriction, and when requesting shopping to an age child who can classify the product Can flexibly set an approval method according to the person to be restricted, such as releasing the restriction at the discretion of the person.

(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment, product information is acquired from a code symbol such as a two-dimensional code attached to a product. However, the product information is not limited to a two-dimensional code as long as it is attached to the product itself. When the product information acquisition source is a two-dimensional code as in the first embodiment, large-capacity data such as product image data cannot be directly acquired due to restrictions on the amount of information that can be recorded. It was necessary to obtain from the server CS or the product information server IS.

  Therefore, if a medium having a larger capacity than a two-dimensional code or the like is adopted as a medium for commodity information attached to the commodity itself, all commodity information can be acquired without causing communication.

  As a product information medium, for example, an IC tag can be adopted. This IC tag is used in so-called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology, and stores information in a minute IC chip and can transmit and receive information by being excited by a radio wave from the outside.

  In this case, the product information acquisition unit 160 of the mobile communication terminal 100 is configured by an IC tag reader (reader / writer) instead of the camera in the first embodiment, so that the product information is attached to the product by the IC tag. Even if it exists, merchandise information can be acquired and the restriction cancellation | release cancellation based on the acquired merchandise information can be performed similarly to the said Embodiment 1. FIG.

  In this case, the purchaser terminal 100 (mobile communication terminal 100) executes the “product information acquisition process (2)” shown in FIG. 11 instead of the “product information acquisition process (1)” in the first embodiment. It will be.

  That is, for example, when processing is started when a product purchase is designated from the menu screen of the purchaser terminal 100 or the like, the product information processing unit 111 controls the product information acquisition unit 160 to activate the IC tag reader / writer. Start (step S401). When the IC tag reader / writer is activated, a predetermined radio wave is transmitted from the product information acquisition unit 160.

  At this time, the user of the purchaser terminal 100 brings the product information acquisition unit 160 close to the IC tag attached to the product. Thereby, the IC tag is excited by the radio wave transmitted from the IC tag reader / writer, and the wireless communication between the product information acquisition unit 160 and the IC tag is established. Product information about the product is stored in the IC chip constituting the IC tag attached to the product. Here, not only information consisting of character data such as product type code, product code, product type name, product name and price for the product, but also all that could not be stored in 2D code such as product image data Is stored.

  When wireless communication with the product information acquisition unit 160 is established, the IC tag transmits stored information. The merchandise information acquisition unit 160 receives the information transmitted from the IC tag and inputs it to the control unit 110.

  If the product information processing unit 111 determines that the product information has been received from the IC tag based on the input from the product information acquisition unit 160 (step S402: Yes), the product information processing unit 111 accesses the purchase target information storage area 182 and enters the purchase planned product table. The acquired product information is stored (step S403).

  Here, as in the first embodiment, when product information is provided in a two-dimensional code, information such as a product image could not be included, so address information for acquiring such information should be included. However, in the case of an IC tag, large data such as a product image can be stored and provided. Therefore, in this embodiment, a product image or the like is directly acquired from the IC tag attached to the product itself. Can be stored in the purchase schedule product table. Therefore, since it is not necessary to access the center server CS, the product information server IS, etc. to acquire product information, address information for accessing these may not be included.

  In this way, the user of the purchaser terminal 100 sequentially reads the IC tag attached to the product scheduled for purchase. When the product information about all the products to be purchased is acquired, the user of the purchaser terminal 100 instructs the end of acquisition of the product information by operating a predetermined button or the like constituting the operation unit 130. In this case, based on the input signal input from the operation unit 130 to the control unit 110, the product information processing unit 111 determines whether or not acquisition of product information has been completed (step S404).

  When the acquisition of the product information is completed (step S404: Yes), the product information processing unit 111 ends this processing and notifies the purchase restriction processing unit 112 to that effect. Thereafter, as in the first embodiment described above, “purchase restriction release processing” and “settlement processing” are sequentially performed.

  Since all product information can be obtained without communication by attaching an IC tag recording product information to the product as in this embodiment, product information can be obtained without incurring communication costs. In addition, it is possible to reduce the time required for obtaining the product information.

  Since the operation principle of IC tag reading is usually similar to the operation principle of a non-contact type IC chip related to the electronic money function, an IC tag reader / writer function is provided by modifying the configuration of the electronic money processing unit 170. The product information acquisition unit 160 can be configured. That is, if it is an apparatus having an electronic money function, the product information acquisition unit 160 according to the present embodiment can be easily realized.

  As described above, by applying the present invention as in the above-described embodiment, even for a purchase-restricted product, the purchase restriction can be temporarily released to efficiently purchase the product.

  The said embodiment is an example and the application range of this invention is not restricted to this. That is, various applications are possible, and all embodiments are included in the scope of the present invention.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, at the time of electronic money settlement, the merchandise code of the merchandise for which purchase restrictions have not been released is sent to the store cash register terminal 200 (payment device), thereby excluding the merchandise from the payment target. You may make it exclude the other purchase restriction goods from a payment object by notifying the payment terminal of the goods code of the goods for which purchase restrictions were canceled.

  In addition, when a list of restricted purchase items is stored in the storage unit 260 of the store cash register terminal 200 (settlement device) and the product code acquired at the cash register processing at the store cash register terminal 200 corresponds to the purchase restricted item, When communicating with the purchaser terminal 100 related to the money function, the product code of the restricted purchase item may be transmitted from the store cash register terminal 200 to the purchaser terminal 100. In this case, the purchaser terminal 100 collates the product code received from the store cash register terminal 200 with the product code recorded in the release permission / denial table of the restriction release information storage area 183, and determines whether or not the restriction is released. By transmitting to 200, purchase restrictions can be made.

  In other words, in the purchaser-side terminal such as the mobile communication terminal 100 shown in the above embodiment, information related to restriction release is recorded, and if purchase restriction is performed based on the information, purchase restriction is performed. The method is not limited to that shown in the above embodiment, and any method can be used.

  In the above embodiment, the two-dimensional code and the IC tag are exemplified as the medium for providing the merchandise information. However, the merchandise can be provided by any medium as long as the information necessary for permitting the restriction cancellation can be provided. Information may be provided. In addition, the content of the product information shown in each of the above embodiments is an example, and may not be the same as the illustrated content as long as it is information necessary for permission / rejection of restriction release.

  In this case, information necessary for permission / inhibition of restriction cancellation may be designated in advance by the authority holder. In this case, for example, if the restriction can be permitted without viewing the product image, the acquisition of the product image is set to be excluded. Thereby, even when product information is provided on a medium such as a two-dimensional code that cannot include a product image as in the first embodiment, communication for acquiring a product image or the like is omitted. Can do.

  Alternatively, in the case where permission / rejection of restriction cancellation is performed with the minimum necessary information such as a product code, the product information according to the present invention can also be obtained by using a one-dimensional barcode (code symbol) attached to many products. Can be acquired. In this case, since the barcode can be read by the product information acquisition unit 160 configured with the camera function, the present invention can be realized more easily.

  In each of the above embodiments, examples of purchase-restricted items are those that are subject to age restrictions by law, such as liquor and tobacco, but such socially-restricted purchase-restricted items Can be set as a default, and an arbitrary purchase restriction product may be set for each user. For example, parents may appropriately set these items as purchase-restricted items so that children do not purchase items such as manga, sweets, and toys.

  In each of the above embodiments, when a restriction release permission is requested from the terminal used by the restriction target to the terminal used by the right holder, a common application is operated so that it is displayed on the right holder's terminal. However, as long as the restriction cancellation can be permitted or not, the communication method between these terminals is arbitrary and is not limited to the one exemplified in the above embodiment. For example, communication related to permission / inhibition of restriction cancellation between terminals may be performed by an electronic mail function of a mobile communication terminal or the like. In this case, for example, an e-mail indicating a purchase restriction item is transmitted from the terminal used by the person to be restricted to the terminal of the authority holder. Then, by specifying that the reply is made in the case of either approval or rejection of the restriction cancellation, the authority holder can notify the restriction target person's terminal whether the restriction is permitted or not by replying to the received e-mail. .

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the case where the electronic device concerning this invention was implement | achieved by the mobile communication terminal was illustrated, if it has the acquisition function of electronic goods functions as mentioned above, and an electronic money function, a mobile body The present invention can be applied not only to communication terminals but also to various electronic devices such as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants: personal digital assistants), personal computers, digital cameras, and the like.

  Note that, as with the mobile communication terminal 100 described above, an existing electronic device that does not have these functions can be provided by applying a program as well as being provided as an electronic device that has functions for realizing the present invention in advance. Can be made to function as an electronic apparatus according to the present invention.

  In this case, a program similar to the program realizing each function of the mobile communication terminal 100 described above is applied to an electronic device having at least an electronic money function, a camera function, an IC tag reader / writer function, and the like. A computer (such as a CPU) to be controlled can execute the program to function as the electronic apparatus according to the present invention. The application method of such a program is arbitrary. For example, the program can be applied to an arbitrary device by providing it via a communication medium such as the Internet, and a predetermined recording medium (for example, a memory card, a CD-ROM, a DVD, Etc.) can also be applied by storing and distributing the program.
