  Next, functions of the electronic receipt system having the portable terminal 8, the POS terminal 2, and the electronic receipt server 6 configured as described above will be described in detail. First, the case where the user of the portable terminal 8 sets the receipt condition of the paper receipt to the portable terminal 8 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  The user of the portable terminal 8 operates the input unit 17 to select a paper receipt receiving condition setting job from the job menu of the portable terminal 8. Then, the paper receipt reception setting program P3 is activated. By starting the program P3, the CPU 11 of the portable terminal 8 executes the process of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the CPU 11 displays a reception category setting screen G1 on the display unit 16 as ST (step 1). An example of the receipt classification setting screen G1 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, on the receiving category setting screen G1, a check box C1 for selecting any one of the three items of the above-mentioned paper receipt receiving category “always do not receive”, “always receive” and “receive according to conditions”. Is displayed. In addition, a “Next” button B1 is displayed. The “next” button B1 is operated by the user when instructing to confirm the selection of the receiving category.

  In the check box C1, any one item (for example, “always receive”) is checked as a default. After that, when another item is selected, the check moves to that item.

  The CPU 11 waits for any receiving category to be selected as ST2. If the “next” button B1 is input by the operation of the input unit 17, the CPU 11 recognizes the receiving classification item whose check box C1 is checked as ST3 and ST4 (information setting means).

  Here, when the check box of the receiving category “always receive” is checked (NO in ST3, YES in ST4), the CPU 11 sets the receiving setting flag of the area a1 in the paper receipt receiving condition management area A1 as ST5. Is set to “1”. In other words, information indicating that the paper receipt is always received is stored (information storage means).

  On the other hand, when the check box of the receipt category “always do not receive” is checked (NO in ST3, NO in ST4), the CPU 11 displays the receipt category confirmation screen G2 on the display unit 16 as ST6. . An example of the receipt classification confirmation screen G2 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the receipt classification confirmation screen G2 displays a message M1 for notifying the user that a paper receipt will not be issued at the store in the future because the paper receipt is not received. In addition, a “Yes” button B2 and a “No” button B3 are displayed. The “Yes” button B2 is operated by the user when a paper receipt does not have to be issued. The “No” button B3 is operated by the user when a paper receipt is required.

  The CPU 11 waits for any of the buttons B2 and B3 on the receipt classification confirmation screen G2 to be input as ST7. If the “No” button B3 on the receipt classification confirmation screen G2 is input by operating the input unit 17, the CPU 11 returns to ST1. That is, the screen of the display unit 16 is returned to the receipt classification setting screen G1.

  On the other hand, when the “Yes” button B2 on the receipt classification confirmation screen G2 is input by operating the input unit 17, the CPU 11 sets the receipt setting flag of the area a1 in the paper receipt receipt condition management area A1 as ST8. 0 ”. That is, information indicating that the paper receipt is not always received is stored (information storage unit).

  On the other hand, when the check box of the reception category “receive by condition” is checked (YES in ST3), the CPU 11 displays the reception condition setting screen G3 on the display unit 16 as ST9. An example of the receiving condition setting screen G3 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, in the receipt condition setting screen G3, an amount input box C2 for selecting a lower limit (0 yen or more) of a transaction amount that requires a paper receipt from the pull-down displayed amounts, and one of the receipt conditions A check box C3 for selecting whether the logical relationship between the money amount condition and the other store condition is a logical product (AND) relationship or a logical sum (OR) relationship, A check box C4 for selecting whether or not to issue a paper receipt when shopping at a store where the electronic receipt system is installed, and a store among the stores where the electronic receipt system of the present embodiment is installed A check box C5 for selecting a store to which the condition is applied is displayed. In addition, a “Next” button B4 is displayed. The “next” button B4 is operated by the user when the setting of the receiving conditions is completed.

  In the amount input box C2, an arbitrary amount (for example, “0 yen”) is displayed in advance as a default. After that, when another amount is selected from the amount menu displayed in a pull-down display, the display content is changed to that amount. In the check box C3, any one item (for example, “or”) is checked as a default. After that, when the other item is selected, the check moves to that item. Similarly, in the check box C4, one of the items (for example, “when shopping at the following store”) is checked as a default, and when the other item is selected, the check moves to that item. To do. On the other hand, the check box C5 is not checked at the time of default. After that, a check box is selected when an unchecked store name box is selected, and a check box is removed when a checked store name box is selected again.

  The CPU 11 waits for each receiving condition to be set as ST10. If the “next” button B4 is input by operating the input unit 17, the CPU 11 reads the amount in the amount input box C2 and the check items in the check boxes C3 to C5 as ST11 (condition setting means). Then, the information of the areas a2 to a4 in the paper receipt receiving condition management area A1 is updated based on the read result.

  That is, the amount displayed in the amount input box C2 is stored in the area a2. As for the issue flag for each store name in the area a3, if the check box C4 "when shopping at the following store" is checked, the issue corresponding to the store name checked in the check box C5 The flag is set to “1”, and the issue flag corresponding to other store names is set to “0”. On the other hand, if the check is made in “When shopping outside of the following stores” in the check box C4, the issue flag corresponding to the store name checked in the check box C5 is set to “0”. The issue flag corresponding to the store name is set to “1”. The logical flag of the area a4 is set to “1” when the “and” of the check box C3 is checked, and is set to “0” when the “or” is checked (condition storage means).

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 sets the receipt setting flag of the area a1 in the paper receipt receipt condition management area A1 to “-” (not set) in ST12. That is, information indicating that the paper receipt is set to be received depending on conditions is stored (information storage means).

  Thus, if the receiving setting flag of the area a1 in the paper receipt receiving condition management area A1 is any one of “0”, “1”, or “−”, the CPU 11 sets the display unit 16 on the display unit 16 for each receiving condition as ST13. The setting completion screens G4 to G6 are displayed and this process is terminated.

  FIG. 12 is an example of the setting completion screen G4 when the paper receipt receiving condition is “always not receiving”, that is, when the receiving setting flag is “0”. FIG. 13 shows an example of the setting completion screen G5 when the paper receipt receiving condition is “always receive”, that is, when the receiving setting flag is “1”. FIG. 14 shows an example of the setting completion screen G6 when the paper receipt receiving condition is “receive by condition”, that is, when the receiving setting flag is “−”.

  As described above, the user of the mobile terminal 8 always receives the paper receipt or always receives the paper receipt by executing the paper receipt receiving condition setting work according to the paper receipt receiving setting program P3 installed in the mobile terminal 8. Any one of the three categories of whether there is no condition or whether it is received with conditions can be arbitrarily selected and set in the mobile terminal 8. Moreover, when receiving with conditions, it can be arbitrarily set to the portable terminal 8 about the money amount condition and store conditions which are paper receipt issue conditions.

  Next, a case where a user who owns the mobile terminal 8 in which any one of the paper receipt receiving conditions is set performs shopping at a store where the electronic receipt system of the present embodiment is introduced and electronically pays the price. This will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  A user who desires electronic payment as a method of paying for a product purchased at a store selects an electronic payment service from the business menu of the mobile terminal 8. Then, the electronic payment program P1 is activated. When the program P1 is started, the CPU 11 of the portable terminal 8 executes the process of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the CPU 11 waits for a communication line with the POS terminal 2 to be connected via the non-contact IC card interface 14 in ST21.

  The user of the portable terminal 8 moves the portable terminal 8 closer to the POS terminal 2 when the sales data of the purchased product is registered in the POS terminal 2 and the closing operation is completed and the cashier is requested to pay the price. Then, signals are exchanged between the portable terminal 8 and the POS terminal 2 via the non-contact IC card interfaces 14 and 24, and a communication line is connected.

  When the communication line with the POS terminal 2 is connected, the CPU 11 transmits an electronic settlement request command to the POS terminal 2 as ST22. That is, the electronic payment is requested to the POS terminal 2.

  On the other hand, in the POS terminal 2, when the closing operation after product registration is completed, the electronic settlement program P4 is activated. When the program P4 is activated, the CPU 21 executes processing of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the CPU 21 waits for an electronic payment request command in ST61. If the electronic payment request command is received from the portable terminal 8 to which the communication line is connected via the non-contact IC card interface 24, the CPU 21 determines that the mobile terminal 8 Send and receive data and perform electronic payments. The electronic payment may be stored fair payment such as electronic money or postpaid payment such as a credit card.

  When the electronic payment is completed as ST63, the CPU 21 of the POS terminal 2 starts the electronic receipt processing program P5 as ST64. When the program P5 is activated, the CPU 21 executes processing of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, in step ST71, the CPU 21 displays a message “Please do not leave your mobile phone” on the customer display unit 28 to maintain the communication line with the mobile terminal 8. And while displaying this message, CPU21 produces | generates the electronic receipt information 40 based on the information registered by merchandise registration as ST72, and the information of payment (electronic receipt preparation means). Further, simple settlement information 50 is generated based on the electronic receipt information 40.

  An example of the electronic receipt information 40 is shown in FIG. 20, and an example of the simple settlement information 50 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the electronic receipt information 40 and the simple settlement information 50 are in an XML (extensible markup language) format. The electronic receipt information 40 includes a store name, cash register ID, cash register charge, transaction date and time, transaction ID, product name, price, transaction amount, and the like. The simple settlement information 50 is obtained by extracting information from the electronic receipt 40 such as a store name, transaction date / time, transaction ID, transaction amount, etc. that can be understood. Needless to say, the configuration of the electronic receipt information 40 and the simple settlement information 50 is not limited to this.

  The CPU 21 generates identification information for downloading an electronic receipt based on the electronic receipt information 40 from the electronic receipt server 6 as ST73 while the message “Please do not take your cell phone” is displayed. This identification information indicates the location (URL) of the electronic receipt information 40 in the electronic receipt server 6. For example, a hash value is calculated from a password set in advance in the mobile terminal 8 and information that can uniquely identify which store such as a store name, transaction date and time, and transaction ID included in the electronic receipt information 40 generated this time This hash value is used as electronic receipt download identification information.

  Thereafter, the CPU 21 writes the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 generated as ST74 in the non-contact IC card memory 25. Then, the information written in the non-contact IC card memory 25 is transmitted via the non-contact IC card interface 24 to the portable terminal 8 to which the communication line is connected.

  The CPU 11 of the portable terminal 8 that has requested electronic payment to the POS terminal 2 in the process of ST22 waits for the completion of the electronic payment in ST23. If it is confirmed by the response from the POS terminal 2 that the electronic payment is normally completed, the CPU 11 sends the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple payment information 50 from the POS terminal 2 as ST24. Wait. If the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 are received via the contactless IC card interface 14 as ST25, the CPU 11 obtains the received electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 as ST26. The information is stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15 in association with each other.

  Incidentally, the user of the mobile terminal 8 does not release the mobile terminal 8 from the POS terminal 2 while the message “Please do not release the mobile phone” is displayed on the customer display unit 28 of the POS terminal 2. By doing so, the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 are transmitted from the POS terminal 2 via the non-contact IC card interface 24 after a predetermined time lag has elapsed since the end of the electronic settlement. The portable terminal 8 can receive information stably.

  After storing the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 in the non-contact IC card memory 15 in the process of ST26, the CPU 11 stores the paper receipt reception condition management area A1 of the recording unit 13 in the area a1 as ST27. Read the receipt setting flag. Then, this receipt setting flag is written in the non-contact IC card memory 15. The receipt setting flag written in the non-contact IC card memory 15 is a card receipt flag F (see FIG. 2).

  Next, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the card receipt flag F is not set “−” in ST28. When the card receipt flag F is not set “-”, that is, when “Receive by condition” is set as the receipt category of the paper receipt, the CPU 11 stores the simple settlement stored in the contactless IC card memory 15 as ST29. A transaction amount and a store name are extracted from the information 50. Then, in ST30, the extracted transaction amount and store name information are collated with the data of the receipt condition item stored in the paper receipt receipt condition management area A1, and the contents of the commercial transaction conform to the preset paper receipt receipt conditions. It is judged whether it is doing (collation means).

  That is, it is determined whether or not the transaction amount extracted from the simple settlement information 50 is greater than or equal to the receipt condition amount stored in the area a2. Further, it is determined whether or not the issue flag corresponding to the store name extracted from the simple settlement information 50 among the issue flags classified by store name stored in the area a3 is set to “1”.

  Here, when the logical flag of the area a4 is “1”, the transaction amount is equal to or greater than the receiving condition amount, and the issue flag corresponding to the store name is set to “1”. If both conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the paper receipt receiving conditions are met. Conversely, if only one of the conditions is satisfied or if both are not satisfied, it is determined that the paper receipt receiving condition is not met. On the other hand, if the logical flag of area a4 is “0”, it is determined that the paper receipt receiving condition is met if at least one of the conditions is satisfied, and the paper receipt is received only when both are not satisfied. Judge that the condition is not met.

  If the CPU 11 determines that the paper receipt receiving condition is met, the CPU 11 updates the card reception flag F that has not been set in ST31 to “1”, that is, information instructing reception of the paper receipt. On the other hand, if it is determined that the paper receipt receiving condition is not met, the CPU 11 updates the card reception flag F that has not been set in ST32 to “0”, that is, information instructing that the paper receipt cannot be received ( Information update means).

  When the card receipt flag F is “1” or “0” in the processing of ST28, that is, when “always receive” or “not always receive” is set as the receipt category of the paper receipt, The CPU 11 does not execute the processes of ST29 to ST32.

  That is, when “Receive by condition” is set as the receipt category of the paper receipt, it is determined by the simple settlement information 50 sent from the POS terminal 2 whether or not the commercial transaction conforms to the paper receipt issue condition. If the transaction is a suitable transaction, the card receipt flag F in the same state as when “always receive” is set as the receipt category of the paper receipt is set in the non-contact IC card memory 15. On the other hand, in the case of a non-conforming commercial transaction, the card receiving flag F in the same state as when “not always received” is set as the receiving category is set in the non-contact IC card memory 15.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 activates the electronic receipt corresponding program P2 in ST33, and ends the electronic settlement program P1. The processing procedure of the CPU 11 when the electronic receipt handling program P2 is activated will be described later.

  The CPU 21 of the POS terminal 2 that has transmitted the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 to the portable terminal 8 in the process of ST74 waits for the transmission of these information to be completed in ST75. If it is confirmed that the transmission is successful, the CPU 21 reads the card receipt flag F from the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the portable terminal 8 as ST76. At this time, if the card reception flag F is not set “−” in ST77, the processing of ST29 to ST32 is executed in the mobile terminal 8 and updated to “1” or “0”. stand by.

  When the card receipt flag F read from the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the portable terminal 8 is “1” or “0”, the CPU 21 sends a message “Do not release the portable” from the customer display unit 28 as ST78. Please delete ". Also, as ST 79, the electronic receipt information 40 and electronic receipt download identification information generated this time and the information of the card receipt flag F read from the mobile terminal 8 are transmitted to the electronic receipt server 6 via the Internet 5.

  Thus, the CPU 21 ends the electronic receipt processing program P5. Then, the processing of the electronic payment program P4 is resumed. That is, when confirming the end of the electronic receipt processing program P5 in ST65, the CPU 21 determines whether the card receipt flag F read from the portable terminal 8 is “1” or “0” (STEP).

  If the card receipt flag F is “1”, the CPU 21 outputs the electronic receipt information 40 to the printer 29 at ST67 and prints it on receipt paper (issue control means). As a result, as shown in FIG. 22, the contents of the electronic receipt information 40 are printed on the receipt paper by the printer 29 and issued as a paper receipt 60.

  On the other hand, when the card receipt flag is “0”, the CPU 21 does not execute the process of ST67. That is, the paper receipt 60 is not issued. Thus, the CPU 21 ends the electronic payment program P4.

  Thus, when the card receipt flag F is “1”, a paper receipt 60 having the same content as the electronic receipt information 40 is issued at the time of settlement of the commercial transaction. If the card receipt flag F is “0”, the paper receipt 60 is not issued.

  On the other hand, an electronic receipt management program P6 is resident in the electronic receipt server 6, and the CPU 31 executes the processing shown in the flowchart of FIG. 19 according to the program P6.

  That is, the CPU 31 waits for reception of electronic receipt information as ST81. If the electronic receipt information 40 is received from the POS terminal 2 via the Internet 5, the CPU 31 makes a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) for releasing the electronic receipt from the electronic receipt download identification information received together with the electronic receipt information 40 in ST82. ). In this decryption, for example, a directory in which the electronic receipt server 6 publishes the electronic receipt is determined as the electronic receipt management area A3 in advance, and the hexadecimal notation of the hash value, which is the electronic receipt download identification information, is used as the electronic receipt storage destination address. This is done by putting it on a directory.

  If the URL is decoded from the electronic receipt download identification information, the CPU 31 stores the electronic receipt information 40 received as ST83 in the electronic receipt management area A3 together with the URL. At this time, if the card receipt flag F received together with the electronic receipt information 40 in ST84 is “1”, the issue status flag added to the electronic receipt information 40 is set to “1”, and the card receipt flag F Is “0”, the issue status flag is set to “0”. That is, when a paper receipt 60 having the same content as the electronic receipt information 40 is issued at the time of settlement of the commercial transaction, the issue status flag is set to “1”, and when the paper receipt 60 is not issued, the issue status flag is set to “0”. .

  Thereafter, the CPU 31 publishes the electronic receipt based on the electronic receipt information 40 to the URL on the Internet decrypted from the electronic receipt download identification information in ST85. Thus, the CPU 31 ends the process when receiving the electronic receipt information.

  On the other hand, the CPU 11 of the portable terminal 8 in which the electronic receipt handling program P2 is activated executes the process of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, the CPU 11 determines whether or not the simple settlement information 50 is stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15 as ST41. When the simple settlement information 50 is not stored, the CPU 11 ends the electronic receipt correspondence program P2.

  When the simple settlement information 50 is stored, the CPU 11 displays the simple settlement information 50 on the display unit 16 as ST42. Next, the CPU 11 checks the card reception flag F in the non-contact IC card memory 15 as ST43. If the card receipt flag F is set to “0”, the CPU 11 causes the display unit 16 to display a message that a paper receipt is not issued in ST44. If the card receipt flag F is other than “0”, no message is displayed.

  FIG. 23 shows a screen example of the display unit 16 when the card receipt flag F is set to “0”. As shown in the figure, a message M2 indicating that a paper receipt is not issued is displayed on the display unit 16 together with the simple settlement information 50 stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15. Also, a download button B4 and an end button B5 are displayed. The download button B4 is operated by the user when instructing to download an electronic receipt relating to the commercial transaction specified from the simple settlement information 50. The end button B5 is operated by the user when instructing not to download the electronic receipt.

  The CPU 11 waits for the end button B5 to be input in ST45 or the download button B4 to be input in ST46. Here, when the end button B5 is input via the input unit 17, the CPU 11 ends the electronic receipt correspondence program P2.

  On the other hand, when the download button B4 is input, the CPU 11 downloads an electronic receipt from the electronic receipt download identification information stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15 together with the simple settlement information 50 as ST47. Decrypt the URL. Then, as ST48, the connection is made to the Internet 5 through the public network connection interface 18, the decrypted URL is accessed, and the electronic receipt information 40 published at the URL is downloaded. The downloaded electronic receipt information 40 is temporarily stored in the work memory 12.

  Next, the CPU 11 analyzes the electronic receipt information 40 downloaded as ST49. Then, an electronic receipt screen G 7 is created and displayed on the display unit 16. An example of the electronic receipt screen G7 is shown in FIG. As can be seen by comparing with the example of the paper receipt 60 in FIG. 22, the same contents as the paper receipt 60 are displayed on the electronic receipt screen G7.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 waits for confirmation input in ST50. When a confirmation message is input via the input unit 17, the CPU 11 displays a screen asking whether to save the electronic receipt information 40 in the portable terminal 8 at ST51. Then, in the case where it is input that the data is saved by the input of the input unit 17 as ST52, the CPU 11 stores the electronic receipt download identification information stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15 and the work memory 12 as ST53. The electronic receipt information 40 is recorded in association with the electronic receipt storage area A2 of the recording unit 13. If the card receipt flag F of the contactless IC card memory 15 is “1” as ST54, the receipt status flag associated with the electronic receipt information 40 is set to “1”, and the card receipt flag F is set to “1”. If it is “0”, the reception status flag is set to “0” (identification information storage means).

  That is, when the paper receipt 60 based on the downloaded electronic receipt information 40 is issued at the time of settlement of the commercial transaction, the reception status flag is set to “1”, and when the paper receipt 60 is not issued, the reception status flag is set to “1”. 0 ”.

  When it is input in ST52 that the data is not saved by the input of the input unit 17, the CPU 11 does not execute the processes of ST53 and ST54.

  Thereafter, the CPU 11 clears the electronic receipt download identification information and the simple settlement information 50 stored in the contactless IC card memory 15 as ST55. Further, the card reception flag F stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15 is cleared at ST56. Furthermore, if the electronic receipt information 40 in the work memory 12 is also cleared in ST57, the CPU 11 ends the electronic receipt corresponding program P2.

  Thus, in the portable terminal 8, the electronic receipt download identification information used to download the electronic receipt information 40 by the electronic receipt information 40 downloaded from the electronic receipt server 6 in the electronic receipt storage area A <b> 2 of the recording unit 13. And information (reception status flag) for identifying whether or not the paper receipt 60 based on the electronic receipt information 40 has been received.

  Next, the case where the user of the portable terminal 8 receives the paper receipt 60 after the commercial transaction is settled will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 19, 24, and 25.

  A user who subsequently needs a paper receipt 60 that was not received at the time of settlement selects a post-receipt print job from the job menu of the portable terminal 8. Then, the electronic receipt correspondence program P2 is activated in the post-print mode. When the program P2 is started, the CPU 11 of the portable terminal 8 executes processing of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the CPU 11 extracts the same items as the simple settlement information 50 for each electronic receipt information 40 stored in the electronic receipt storage area A2 as ST101, and generates electronic receipt simple information. Then, the list screen G8 of the electronic receipt simple information is displayed on the display unit 16. An example of the list screen G8 is shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, on the list screen G8, from among the electronic receipt information 40 stored in the electronic receipt storage area A2, the store name, transaction date and time, and transaction amount are as electronic receipt simple information D1, D2, D3. Each is extracted and displayed. In addition, an “end” button B6 is displayed. The “end” button B6 is operated by the user when instructing the end of the program.

  The CPU 11 waits for the “end” button B6 to be input or to select one of the electronic receipt simple information D1, D2, D3. Here, when the “end” button B6 is input via the input unit 17 as ST102, the CPU 11 ends the electronic receipt corresponding program P2.

  On the other hand, when any electronic receipt simple information D1, D2, D3... On the screen G8 is selected via the input unit 17 as ST103 and the execution thereof is instructed, the CPU 11 is selected as ST104. The reception status flag stored in the electronic receipt storage area A2 in association with the electronic receipt information 40 that is the basis of the electronic receipt simple information D1, D2, D3. If the receipt status flag is “1”, the paper receipt 60 based on the electronic receipt information 40 has already been printed. Therefore, the CPU 11 determines that the paper receipt based on the electronic receipt information 40 is ST105. A message indicating that printing has been completed is displayed on the display unit 16. Thereafter, if a confirmation operation is performed, the CPU 11 returns the screen of the display unit 16 to the electronic receipt simple information list screen G8.

  On the other hand, if the receipt status flag is “0”, the paper receipt 60 based on the electronic receipt information 40 has not been printed yet, so the CPU 11 displays a print confirmation screen G9 on the display unit 16 in ST106. Display. An example of the print confirmation screen G9 is shown in FIG. As shown in the drawing, the selected electronic receipt simple information Dn and a message M3 for confirming the printing are displayed on the print confirmation screen G9. In addition, a “Yes” button B7 and a “No” button B8 are displayed. The “Yes” button B7 is operated by the user when the paper receipt 60 is printed. The “No” button B8 is operated by the user when the paper receipt 60 is not printed.

  The CPU 11 waits for any of the buttons B7 and B8 to be input as ST107. When the “NO” button B8 is input through the input unit 17, the CPU 11 returns the screen of the display unit 16 to the electronic receipt simple information list screen G8.

  On the other hand, when the “Yes” button B7 is input through the input unit 17, the CPU 11 is associated with the electronic receipt information 40 that is the basis of the electronic receipt simple information selected as ST108, and the electronic receipt is received. The electronic receipt download identification information stored in the storage area A2 is read and written in the non-contact IC card memory 15. Thereafter, in ST109, the display unit 16 displays a message “Please move closer to the POS terminal” instructing that the mobile terminal 8 is moved closer to the POS terminal 2. Then, it waits for the communication line to be connected to the POS terminal 2 via the non-contact IC card interface 14 as ST110 (identification information transmitting means).

  On the other hand, when the cashier operating the POS terminal 2 receives a post-printing request for the electronic receipt from the user of the mobile terminal 8, the cashier presses the post-printing key provided in the input unit 26 when the product registration is not performed. To do. Then, the electronic receipt processing program P5 is activated in the post print mode. Thereby, the CPU 21 of the POS terminal 2 executes the process of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

  First, the CPU 21 waits for connection of a communication line with the mobile terminal 8 via the non-contact IC card interface 24 as ST121. At this time, the portable terminal 8 is limited to the electronic receipt corresponding program P2 that is activated in the post-print mode. If the communication line is connected to the corresponding portable terminal 8, the CPU 21 reads the electronic receipt download identification information stored in the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the portable terminal 8 as ST122 (identification information receiving means).

  Next, CPU21 decodes URL for downloading the electronic receipt 40 from electronic receipt download identification information as ST123. Then, as ST124, it connects to the electronic receipt server 6 via the Internet 5, and requests download of the electronic receipt specified by the URL.

  In response to this download request, the CPU 31 of the electronic receipt server 6 in which the electronic receipt management program P6 resides executes the process of ST86 transition of FIG. That is, when receiving a download request for electronic receipt from the POS terminal 2 in ST86, the CPU 31 searches the electronic receipt management area A3 in ST87 and checks whether or not the electronic receipt information 40 for which the download request has been made is stored. If not stored, the CPU 31 returns response data without electronic receipt to the POS terminal 2 via the Internet 5 as ST88.

  When the electronic receipt information 40 is stored in the electronic receipt management area A3, the issue status flag associated with the electronic receipt information 40 is set to “1” in ST89. Thereafter, the response data of the download permission is returned to the POS terminal 2 via the Internet 5 as ST90.

  Incidentally, in the process of ST108 in FIG. 25, the reception status flag associated with the electronic receipt download identification information written in the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the portable terminal 8 is “0”. That is, electronic receipt download identification information of a commercial transaction that has not yet received a paper receipt. Accordingly, the issuance status flag associated with the electronic receipt information 40 of the electronic receipt disclosed by the URL decrypted from the electronic receipt download identification information is also “0”. Therefore, in the process of ST89, this issue status flag is changed to “1” to indicate that it has been issued.

  The CPU 21 of the POS terminal 2 that has made an electronic receipt download request to the electronic receipt server 6 in the process of ST124 waits for response data from the electronic receipt server 6 as ST125. Here, when the response data is response data without electronic receipt, the CPU 21 determines in ST126 the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the mobile terminal 8 to which the communication line is connected via the non-contact IC card interface 24. Message data that cannot be printed is written to the electronic receipt processing program P5.

  On the other hand, if the response data is download permission response data, the CPU 21 accesses the URL decrypted from the electronic receipt download identification information via the Internet 5 as ST127, and is disclosed at this URL. The electronic receipt information 40 is downloaded from the electronic receipt server 6 (electronic receipt acquisition means).

  Then, the CPU 21 outputs the electronic receipt information 40 downloaded as ST128 to the printer 29, and prints it out on the receipt paper (post issue control means). As a result, as shown in FIG. 22, the contents of the electronic receipt information 40 are printed on the receipt paper by the printer 29 and issued as a paper receipt 60.

  Thereafter, the CPU 21 writes the message data of printing completion to the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the mobile terminal 8 to which the communication line is connected via the non-contact IC card interface 24 as ST129.

  In this way, the CPU 21 that has written the message data indicating that printing cannot be performed or printing has been completed to the non-contact IC card memory 15 of the portable terminal 8 ends the electronic receipt processing program P5.

  On the other hand, when the communication line with the POS terminal 2 is connected via the non-contact IC card interface 14, the CPU 11 of the portable terminal 8 waiting for the communication line with the POS terminal 2 to be connected in ST110. In ST111, the message on the display unit 16 is changed to a message “Please do not release until receipt issuance” instructing that the mobile terminal 8 is not released from the POS terminal 2. Thereby, the user of the portable terminal 8 does not release the portable terminal 8 from the POS terminal 2 until a paper receipt is issued from the POS terminal 2. As a result, the message data of the print response is written from the POS terminal 2 to the non-contact IC card memory 15.

  The CPU 11 waits for message data of the print response to be written in the non-contact IC card memory 15 as ST112. Then, if it has been written, it is identified in ST113 whether the message data is message data indicating completion of printing or a message that cannot be printed.

  If it is message data indicating completion of printing, the CPU 11 changes the reception status flag associated with the selected electronic receipt information in the electronic receipt storage area A2 from “0” to “1” in ST114. In ST115, a message indicating successful printing is displayed on the display unit 16. On the other hand, if the message data cannot be printed, the CPU 11 causes the display unit 16 to display a print failure message as ST116. Thereafter, if a confirmation operation is performed, the CPU 11 returns the screen of the display unit 16 to the list screen G8.

  On the other hand, the CPU 31 of the electronic receipt server 6 that has returned the download permission response data to the POS terminal 2 in the process of ST90 monitors whether the requested electronic receipt is downloaded in ST91. When the download is completed, the CPU 31 deletes the electronic receipt information 40 downloaded from the electronic receipt management area A3 in ST92 and the issue status flag corresponding thereto (deleting means).

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, among the users of the portable terminal 8 that can receive the payment record with the electronic receipt, the user who sets the information indicating that the paper receipt is necessary in the portable terminal 8. On the other hand, the paper receipt 60 can be automatically issued at the time of the commercial transaction settlement at the POS terminal 2. Therefore, the cashier does not have the trouble of inquiring whether or not a paper receipt is necessary for the customer who receives the record of the settlement with the electronic receipt. In addition, the user does not need to answer whether or not a paper receipt is required for each commercial transaction. As a result, it is possible to prevent unnecessary trouble from occurring between the store clerk and the customer over whether or not a paper receipt is issued.

  In addition, the user can arbitrarily set in the portable terminal 8 whether or not to receive a paper receipt on condition of the transaction amount and the store. Thus, for example, if the transaction amount is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount, a paper receipt is required, but if it is less than the predetermined amount, a paper receipt is not required, or a restaurant requires a paper receipt, but at other stores There is an effect that it is possible to cope with the operation that the paper receipt is unnecessary without a sense of complexity.

  Even if paper receipt is not received at the time of business transaction settlement, it is possible to go to the store later and receive paper receipt. In this case, since the electronic receipt information of the commercial transaction for which the paper receipt was issued later is deleted from the electronic receipt management area A3 of the electronic receipt server 6, an illegal act of issuing a plurality of paper receipts having the same content is obviated. Can be prevented.
