Description

  The present invention relates to a commuter pass refund system and a commuter pass refund method.

  At present, it is common to use an IC commuter pass in which an IC chip is embedded for riding on a railway or the like. An IC commuter pass is usually issued by a railway operator by paying a deposit (guaranteed money), and it is possible to charge SF (Stored Fare). And the IC commuter pass is purchased with a credit card, and the deposit and SF are often paid in cash.

After purchasing an IC commuter pass with a credit card, the user ceases to use the commuter pass before the expiration date, receives the amount corresponding to the remaining validity period by bank account transfer, deposit and SF balance May be received in cash.
Techniques have been disclosed in which a commuter pass or a ticket purchased with a credit card is read and returned to the purchaser's bank account (for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).

Sho 61-114392 ("Summary of Invention" etc.) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-340691 (paragraph 0004)

There is a case where there is a request for refund of the IC commuter pass from the user, and after the IC commuter pass itself (medium) is collected, a request for cancellation of the refund is received from the user. In this case, the railway operator's system creates a new medium and stores and prints the sales amount (the amount at the time of release, not the amount related to the period after the refund), the boarding station, the exit station, etc. On the other hand, it is necessary to notify the credit card company that the refund amount (the amount related to the period after the refund) is withdrawn from the user's bank account.
However, information such as sales amount, boarding station, getting-off station, refund amount, etc. are lost at the time of refund, and the user or station staff has to bother to re-enter the system.
The techniques of Patent Documents 1 and 2 automate the processing up to the refund, and the cancellation of the refund and the cancellation of the cancellation cannot be handled at all.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a commuter pass refund system that reliably recreates a commuter pass and notifies a refund amount to a card company server even after the commuter pass is refunded.

  The credit server of the commuter pass refund system according to the present invention records the information indicating that there was a refund in the sales record after the refund process, maintains the sales record, and performs the refund cancellation process. After that, after recording the information that the refund has been canceled in the refund record, the refund record is maintained, and the information indicating that the refund has been canceled even after the cancellation of the refund has been processed. Is recorded in the withdrawal cancellation record, and the withdrawal cancellation record is maintained.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a commuter pass refund system that reliably recreates a commuter pass and notifies the card company server of the refund amount even after the commuter pass is refunded.

  Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention (referred to as “the present embodiment”) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the like.

(IC commuter pass refund and refund cancellation)
First, the IC commuter pass refund and refund cancellation will be briefly described.
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining the withdrawal and cancellation of an IC commuter pass in cash.
For example, on December 25, 2007, it is assumed that a station system (referred to as a conventional general railway operator system) sells an IC commuter pass in cash to a certain user (see reference numeral 51 in FIG. 1 (a)). ). The boarding station is “Oji Kamiya”, the getting-off station is “Iidabashi”, the transit is “Honkomagome”, the expiration date is “20.6.24”, and the IC commuter pass sales amount is “30000” Yen ”, the sales date is“ December 25 ”, and the card ID of the IC commuter pass is“ 0001 ”. These pieces of information are stored on the IC chip of the IC commuter pass and simultaneously printed on the surface.
Further, it is assumed that the station system receives a deposit “500 yen” from the user at the same time as the sale. This amount is also stored in the IC chip. Furthermore, every time a user deposits SF with a charging device or the like in the station premises, or whenever he / she purchases at an IC commuter pass other than the specified boarding section or at a store, the SF remaining amount increases or decreases, and the station system Stores the remaining amount after the increase / decrease in the IC chip.

  On April 21, 2008, it is assumed that the station system has received a refund for the IC commuter pass (see reference numeral 52 in FIG. 1 (a)). The station system first calculates the commuter pass balance by, for example, prorated calculation of the remaining days. In this example, the commuter pass balance corresponding to April 22, 2008 to June 24, 2008 is “10000 yen”. The remaining SF amount at the time of refund is 1000 yen. At this time, the station system pays back to the user with “commuter pass balance 10000 yen + SF balance 1000 yen + deposit 500 yen−refund fee 800 yen = 10700 yen”. Then, the station system collects the medium (IC commuter pass).

On April 21, 2008, it is assumed that the station system accepts a cancellation of the refund from the user immediately after the refund. At this time, the station system receives a statement such as a statement issued by the station system at the time of withdrawal from the user and receives cash “10700 yen” (see reference numeral 53 in FIG. 1B).
At this time, the IC commuter pass to be reissued itself (reference numeral 54 in FIG. 1B) is a newly issued medium (card ID is 0002), not the original IC commuter pass medium. This is because the station system performs a process of making it unusable (abandoned ticket process) to prevent unauthorized use of the medium once collected in response to the refund.
In addition, the IC chip of the new IC commuter pass stores the boarding station “Oji Kamiya”, the getting-off station “Iidabashi”, via “Homomagome”, sales amount, etc. “30000 yen”, etc. In order to print the information, the user or the station staff needs to input the information again to the station system.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the refund and cancellation of IC commuter pass credits.
On December 25, 2007, the station system sells the same IC commuter pass (reference numeral 55 in FIG. 2 (a)) to a certain user as a credit card. Then, on April 21, 2008, the station system accepts a refund of the IC commuter pass. The processing at this time is divided into two. First of all, the station system sends a notice to pay the user's bank account of the commuter pass part “the commuter pass balance 10000 yen−refund fee 800 yen = 9200 yen” released by credit card to the card company server (see FIG. 2 (a) code 56). Secondly, “SF remaining amount 1000 yen + deposit 500 yen = 1500 yen” is paid to the user in cash (reference numeral 57 in FIG. 2A). Then, the medium is collected and discarded.

On April 21, 2008, it is assumed that the station system accepts a cancellation of the refund from the user immediately after the refund. At this time, the station system first receives a statement such as a statement issued by the station system at the time of withdrawal from the user, and receives cash “1500 yen” (reference numeral 58 in FIG. 2B). Secondly, a notice of debiting “9200 yen” from the bank account of the user is transmitted to the card company server (reference numeral 59 in FIG. 2 (b)). Then, the station system restores the original IC commuter pass and issues it to the user (reference numeral 60 in FIG. 2 (b)).
At this time, the issued IC commuter pass itself (medium) is not the original IC commuter pass itself but a newly issued medium (card ID is 0002), and the IC chip of the new IC commuter pass In order to store the boarding station “Oji Kamiya”, the getting-off station “Iidabashi”, via “Hongomagome”, the sales amount “30000 yen”, etc., and to print these on the IC commuter pass, It is the same as the description of FIG. 1 that the user or station staff needs to input such information again.

  In the present embodiment, on the premise that the credit is refunded (FIG. 2A), how to re-create the IC commuter pass related to the subsequent refund cancellation, etc., and notify the credit company server (FIG. 2 ( b)).

FIG. 3 is an overall configuration diagram of the commuter pass refund system according to the present embodiment.
A station service terminal device 2, a credit server 3 and a card company server 4 are connected via a network 5. The commuter pass refund system 1 includes a station service terminal device 2 and a credit server 3 among them.

  The station service terminal device 2 is a general computer, and is connected to each other via a central control device 11, a main storage device 12, an auxiliary storage device 13, a display 14, a keyboard 15, a communication interface (IF) 16, an IC. An IC card reader / writer 17 that reads information stored in the commuter pass 7 and stores necessary information for the IC commuter pass 7 and a credit card reader 18 that reads information stored in the credit card 6 are provided. . The IC commuter pass processing unit 19 is a program.

The credit sales management unit 27, the credit withdrawal management unit 28, and the credit withdrawal cancellation management unit 29 are programs.
Thereafter, for the station service terminal device 2 and the credit server 3, when the subject is described as “XX section is”, the central control device 11, 21 reads each program from the auxiliary storage devices 13, 23, It is assumed that the functions of the respective programs are executed after being loaded into the storage devices 12 and 22.

  The card company server 4 is a computer that receives information from the credit server 3 and performs a process of withdrawing a predetermined amount from the bank account of the user or transferring a predetermined amount to the account. Since the internal configuration of the card company server 4 is not directly related to the present invention, the description is omitted.

The station service terminal device 2 is normally operated by a railway operator, typically installed at a station window, and operated by a station staff. Although FIG. 3 shows one unit, it is assumed that one or more units exist.
The credit server 3 is usually operated by a railway operator and is typically installed at a main station or headquarters. Normally, one unit is present, but a plurality of units may be present.
Further, although the station service terminal device 2 and the credit server 3 are illustrated as having separate casings, they may constitute the same casing.

(Sales information database)
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a sales information database according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 4, the sales information database 30 is divided into upper and lower parts, but in the present embodiment, it is one continuous database, and the upper right end is connected to the lower left end (FIG. 6B described later). , FIG. 8 (c), FIG. 10 (b), FIG. 11 (a), (b) and FIG. 13 (b) are the same).
The sales information database 30 is a database that manages the release, withdrawal, withdrawal cancellation and withdrawal cancellation of the IC commuter pass 7 by the user's credit card 6.

The terminal ID in the terminal ID field 102 is an identifier (first ID) that uniquely identifies the station service terminal device 2 that has received processing related to the release of the IC commuter pass 7, refund, refund cancellation or refund cancellation from the user. Identifier).
The process ID in the process ID column 103 is an identifier (second identifier) that uniquely identifies a process related to the sale, refund, refund cancellation, or refund cancellation of the IC commuter pass 7.
The card ID in the card ID column 104 is an identifier (third identifier) that uniquely identifies the IC commuter pass 7 itself (medium).
The credit ID in the credit ID column 105 is an identifier (fourth identifier) that uniquely identifies the credit card 6 of the user.
The business category in the business category column 106 is a number indicating the category of processing, “1” indicates “sales” (processing in which revenue for the railway operator increases), and “4” indicates “refund” (railway business). Process to reduce the income for the person).

The deletion flag in the deletion flag column 107 is either “0” or “1”. “0” indicates that the record is valid. “1” indicates that the record remains without being deleted but is invalid. This “deletion flag“ 1 ”corresponds to“ recording that the third record is invalidated ”.
The withdrawal flag in the withdrawal flag column 108 is any one of “0”, “1”, “3”, or “4”.
“0” indicates that the record is “initial value” (there is no other record related to a refund or refund cancellation that cancels the sale or refund related to the record).
“1” indicates that the record is “refunded” (there is another record related to a refund that offsets the sale related to the record).
“3” indicates that the record is “refund canceled” (there is a valid other record related to refund cancellation that offsets the refund related to the record).
“4” indicates that the record is “refund cancellation processing” (the record is a record related to cancellation of cancellation canceling out the cancellation processing).
“Recording that the second (third, fourth) request has been received” corresponds to these refunded flags.

The sales amount in the sales amount column 109 is an amount that increases the revenue for the railway operator.
The name of the boarding station in the boarding station column 110 is the name of one station when the boarding section of the IC commuter pass 7 is specified by two stations.
The name of the getting-off station in the getting-off station column 111 is the name of the other station when the boarding section of the IC commuter pass 7 is specified by two stations.
The name of the transit station in the transit column 112 is the name of the intermediate station in the boarding section when the boarding section is not specified by the name of the boarding station and the name of the getting-off station.

The refund amount in the refund amount column 113 is an amount that reduces the revenue for the railway operator.
The original processing date in the original processing date column 114 is the processing date of the sale or refund process that is the target of the cancellation of the IC commuter pass 7 in the refund or refund cancellation process.
The former terminal ID in the former terminal ID column 115 is the terminal ID of the station service terminal device 2 that has received the release or refund process for which the process cancels out in the refund or refund cancellation process of the IC commuter pass 7. .
The original process ID in the original process ID column 116 is a process ID of a sale or refund process for which the process cancels out in the refund process or refund cancellation process of the IC commuter pass 7.
The original card ID of the original card ID column 117 is the IC commuter pass 7 itself issued or collected in the process of sale or refund that is subject to cancellation in the process of refunding or refunding the IC commuter pass 7 ( Medium) card ID.
The original sales / refund amount in the original sales / refund amount column 118 is the sales amount or refund amount of the sale or refund process to be offset by the processing in the refund or refund cancellation processing of the IC commuter pass 7.

Of the columns in the sales information database 30, the columns to the right of the double line all have the column names “original XX”. This indicates that each column corresponds to a column having the name “XX” excluding the word “original”.
For example, the information in the original processing date column 114 to the original sales / refund amount column 118 in the row 120 in FIG. 4 is the same as the information in the processing date column 101 to the card ID column 104 and the information in the sales amount column 109 in the row 119, respectively. It is.
Similarly, the information in the original processing date column 114 to the original sales / refund amount column 118 in the row 121 is the same as the information in the processing date column 101 to the card ID column 104 and the information in the refund amount column 113 in the row 120, respectively. . That is, when all or part of the information in the original processing date column 114 to the original sales / refund amount column 118 is used as a search key, the search is performed retroactively in the order of the record in the row 121 → the record in the row 120 → the record in the row 119 Can do.

The “first item group” corresponds to a processing date, a terminal ID, a processing ID, a card ID, a credit ID, a sales amount, and a refund amount.
The “second item group” corresponds to the original process date, the original terminal ID, the original process ID, the original card ID, and the original sales / refund amount.
The “third item group” corresponds to the name of the boarding station, the name of the disembarking station, and the name of the transit station.

(Record type of sales information database)
The records in the sales information database 30 in FIG. 4 are divided into three types: sales records (first records), refund records (second records), and refund cancellation records (third records). The three types of records are distinguished by the business category, the deletion flag, and the refunded flag.
An example of the sales record is the record 119 in FIG. In the business category column 106, “1” is always stored. The deletion flag column 107 always stores “0”. Either “0” or “1” is stored in the refunded flag column 108. The refund amount column 113 to the former sales / refund amount column 118 are always blank. The sales record is newly created each time the IC commuter pass 7 is released, and the number is the largest.
An example of the payout record is the record 120 in FIG. In the business category column 106, “4” is always stored. The deletion flag column 107 always stores “0”. In the refunded flag column 108, either “0” or “3” is stored. The sales amount column 109 to the via column 112 are always blank. A refund record is newly created each time the IC commuter pass 7 is refunded, and the number is the second largest after the sales record.
An example of the withdrawal cancellation record is the record 121 of FIG. In the business category column 106, “1” is always stored. The deletion flag column 107 stores “0” or “1”. The refunded flag column 108 always stores “4”. The boarding station column 110 to the refund amount column 113 are always blank. The refund record is newly created every time the IC commuter pass 7 is canceled, and the number is the smallest.

  From the above, the refund record is a record whose business category is “4”, the refund cancellation record is a record whose business category is “1” and the refunded flag is “4”, and the sales record is It can be said that the business classification is “1” and the refunded flag is not “4”.

(Sales record)
The sales record 119 means the following matters. That is, on December 25, 2007, the station service terminal device 2 with the terminal ID “1281” receives the presentation of the credit card 6 with the credit ID “12345678” from the user, and the card ID is “5001”. Issuing a certain IC commuter pass 7, the name of the boarding station of the IC commuter pass 7 is "Oji Kamiya", the name of the disembarking station is "Iidabashi", and the name of the transit station is "Honkomagome" The sales amount is “30000 yen”, and the process ID of this process is “0010”.
Since the payout flag is “1”, it can be seen that there is a payout record that offsets the sales record 119. That the payout record is specifically “reference numeral 120” cannot be understood from the information of the sales record 119 alone.

(Refund record)
The refund record 120 means the following matters. That is, on April 21, 2008, the station service terminal device 2 whose terminal ID is “3471” receives the presentation of the credit card 6 whose credit ID is “12345678” from the user, and processes the processing record 119 (code Refund of the IC commuter pass 7 released by the information in the original processing date column 114 to the original sales / refund amount column 118 of the 120 records), and the card ID is “5001”. This means that the IC commuter pass 7 has been collected, the refund amount is “10000 yen”, and the process ID of this process is “0020”.
Note that since the refunded flag is “0”, it can be seen that there is no valid refund cancellation record that offsets the refund record 120.

(Refund cancellation record)
The withdrawal cancellation record 121 means the following matters. That is, on April 21, 2008, the station service terminal device 2 whose terminal number is “3471” receives the presentation of the credit card 6 whose credit ID is “12345678” from the user, and processes the refund record 120 (code IC record commuter pass 7 having a card ID of “6001” at that time is cancelled (record 120 can be identified from information in original processing date column 114 to original sales / refund amount column 118 of 121 record). Is issued, the sales amount is “10000 yen”, the processing ID of this processing is “0030”, and the cancellation of the refund is canceled. The cancellation of the refund cancellation can be recognized by the deletion flag being “1”.

(IC commuter pass issuance status)
For example, when a record having the card ID “5001” exists only as a sales record, the refunded flag is always “0”. This is the most frequent case and no refund has occurred after the release. That is, the IC commuter pass is in the issued state.
When a record having the card ID “5001” exists as a sales record and a refund record, and there is no refund cancellation record having the original card ID “5001”, the refunded flag of the sales record is “1”. The refunded flag of the refund record is “0”. In this case, a refund has occurred after the release. In other words, the IC commuter pass is in a collected (sold ticket processed) state.

Furthermore, when a record having a card ID “5001” exists as a sales record and a refund record, and there is also a refund cancellation record having an original card ID “5001”, there are two patterns.
The first pattern is a pattern in which the refunded flag of the sales record is “0”, the refunded flag of the refunded record is “3”, and the deletion flag of the refunded cancellation record is “0”. In this pattern, after the release, a refund occurs, and after that, a refund cancellation occurs. That is, the IC commuter pass is in the issued state.
The second pattern is a pattern in which the refunded flag of the sales record is “1”, the refunded flag of the refunded record is “0”, and the deletion flag of the refunded cancellation record is “1”. In this pattern, after the release, a refund occurs, after that, a refund cancellation occurs, and after that, a refund cancellation cancels. That is, the IC commuter pass is in a collected (spent ticket processed) state. The states of the records 119, 120, and 121 in FIG. 4 correspond to this second pattern.

(Remaining sales and refund records)
Conventionally, when an IC commuter pass is refunded, the station system has deleted (erased) information corresponding to the sales record of this embodiment. For this reason, as described above, refund cancellation occurred, and it was necessary to manually input information to be stored / printed on a new medium to the station system again. In this embodiment, at the time of refund, the sales record is left without being deleted.
Further, conventionally, when the IC commuter pass is refunded and the processing is completed, the information corresponding to the refund record of the present embodiment is deleted (erased). Therefore, as described above, if a refund cancellation occurs thereafter, the refund amount transmitted to the card company server 4 (the same amount is offset to offset the refund amount deposited in the user's bank account as a result of the refund). Need to be manually entered into the station system. In the present embodiment, the payout record is left without being deleted even after the payout.

(Flag function)
As described above, each flag not only makes the IC commuter pass issuance state clear, but also contributes to an increase in search speed by being used as a search key as will be described later.
Furthermore, in order to reduce the burden on the credit server 3, for example, when the sales record that has been paid back or only the payout record is sorted and stored outside the credit server 3, the sorting is surely performed.

Hereinafter, the processing procedure will be described. The processing procedure includes (1) release processing procedure, (2) refund processing procedure, (3) refund cancellation processing procedure, and (4) cancellation processing cancellation processing procedure. (2) assumes that (1) has been completed. (3) assumes that (2) has been completed. (4) assumes that (3) has been completed.
The “first process”, “second process”, “third process”, and “fourth process” include a release process, a refund process, a refund cancellation process, and a refund cancellation process, respectively. Equivalent to.

(Release processing procedure)
FIG. 5 is a flowchart of the sales process procedure according to the present embodiment.
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a sales information database and the like for explaining the sale processing procedure according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the sales process procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

In step S <b> 301, the IC commuter pass processing unit 19 of the station service terminal device 2 accepts input of necessary information of the IC commuter pass 7.
Specifically, the IC commuter pass processing unit 19 receives the name of the boarding station, the name of the disembarking station, and the name of the transit station, which are input by the user or the station staff via the keyboard 15.

In step S302, the IC commuter pass processing unit 19 reads the credit ID.
Specifically, the IC commuter pass processing unit 19 reads the credit ID of the credit card 6 presented by the user via the credit card reader 18.

In step S <b> 303, the IC commuter pass processing unit 19 transmits a release request for the IC commuter pass 7 to the credit server 3.
Specifically, the IC commuter pass processing unit 19 first creates a sale request 31 (FIG. 6A) with a blank column.
Second, the process ID and card ID are numbered.
Third, the sales amount is calculated by a predetermined method.
Fourth, the name of the boarding station, the name of the boarding station, and the name of the transit station received in step S301 are stored in the boarding station column 137, the boarding station column 138, and the transit column 139 of the release request 31, respectively, and read in step S302. Are stored in the credit ID column 135 of the sale request 31, and the process ID and card ID numbered in the “second” are stored in the process ID column 133 and the card ID column 134 of the sale request 31, respectively. The sales amount calculated in “third” is stored in the sales amount column 136 of the release request 31, and the sales date (date of the day) and the terminal ID are stored in the sales date column 131 and the terminal ID column 132 of the release request, and the release request is stored. Complete 31.
Fifth, a sale request 31 is transmitted to the credit server 3.
The sale request 31 transmitted here is as shown in FIG. The “first request” corresponds to the sale request 31.

In step S <b> 304, the credit sales management unit 27 of the credit server 3 transmits the sales amount and the like to the card company server 4.
Specifically, the credit sales management unit 27 first receives the release request 31.
Secondly, the sales date, the credit ID, and the sales amount in the information of the sale request 31 are transmitted to the card company server 4. This transmission corresponds to the “first account withdrawal notification”.
Third, a release consent is received from the card company server 4. The card company server 4 investigates the credit status of the user related to the credit ID by an arbitrary method, and when it is determined that the user will be credited for the sales amount, the card company server 4 sends a release approval to the credit server 3. (Not shown).
Incidentally, although not shown, the card company server 4 pays the sales amount to the railway operator according to a predetermined rule, and withdraws the sales amount from the bank account of the user related to the credit ID on a predetermined date.

In step S305, the credit sales management unit 27 creates a sales record.
Specifically, the credit sales management unit 27 first creates a new sales record, and the sales date, terminal ID, processing ID, card ID, credit ID, sales amount of the sales request 31 received in step S304. The name of the boarding station, the name of the getting-off station, and the name of the transit station, the processing date column 101, the terminal ID column 102, the processing ID column 103, the card ID column 104, the credit ID column 105, the sales amount of the created sales record The data are stored in the column 109, the boarding station column 110, the getting-off station column 111, and the transit column 112, respectively.
Second, “1” is stored in the business category column 106 of the created sales record, “0” is stored in the deletion flag column 107, and “0” is stored in the refunded flag column 108.

  In step S <b> 306, the credit sales management unit 27 transmits a sale instruction for the IC commuter pass 7 to the station service terminal device 2. This “first instruction” corresponds to this release instruction. When step S306 is completed, the sales record in the sales information database 30 is in the state shown in FIG.
