The registration status indicates the registration status of the user registration information. There are two stages of registration status, “temporary registration” and “main registration”. In “temporary registration”, browsing of information and provision of services are restricted.

  The control unit 31 of the server 3 generates a password for distribution to the reader / writer 2 at a predetermined timing, and stocks it in the password table of the storage unit 32 as shown in FIG. This password is distributed to the reader / writer 2 at a predetermined timing. The distributed password is stocked in the distributed password table of the storage unit 32 as shown in FIG. The password may be acquired from the reader / writer 2 side at a predetermined timing (for example, when the password stock in the reader / writer 2 decreases).

  The communication unit 33 is connected to the Internet 4 under the control of the control unit 31 and transmits / receives predetermined data. The bus 34 transmits data between the units.

  Next, the operation of the user registration system 100 configured as described above will be described.

  First, the operation when the reader / writer 2 detects the IC card 15 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the IC card detection process executed by the control unit 21 when the non-contact communication unit 24 of the reader / writer 2 detects the IC card 15.

  In the IC card detection process, first, the control unit 21 reads an IC card ID unique to the IC card 15 from the IC card 15 (step S101).

  Thereafter, the control unit 21 acquires the URL and password from the storage unit 22 (step S102). The password acquired here is erased from the storage unit 22 or used attributes are added so as not to be used again.

  And the control part 21 adds a password to URL acquired in step S102, and transmits to the IC card 15 (step S103).

  Next, the control unit 21 uses the IC card ID read in step S101, the use terminal ID, information on the service (provided service) provided by the reader / writer 2, and the use date and time (currently acquired from the time measuring unit 26). Time) and the password acquired in step S102, an IC card ID associating process is executed (step S104). And the control part 21 transmits the matched information matched with the server 3 (step S105), and complete | finishes a process at the time of IC card detection.

  In this way, when the reader / writer 2 detects the IC card 15, it transmits a URL that needs to be accessed for user registration to the IC card 15 (mobile terminal 1), and associates it with the server 3. Send information.

  Next, the operation when the server 3 receives the association information from the reader / writer 2 or when connected from the mobile terminal 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information reception process executed when the server 3 receives the association information from the reader / writer 2.

  In the information reception process, first, the control unit 31 of the server 3 determines whether or not the IC card ID of the received association information has been registered in the storage unit 32 of the server 3 as user registration information (step S201). .

  If the IC card ID has not been registered (step S201; No), the control unit 31 provisionally registers user registration information in the storage unit 32 based on the association information received from the reader / writer 2 (step S202). ), The processing at the time of information reception ends. In the temporary registration of the user registration information, the status of the registration status becomes “temporary registration”, and “IC card ID”, “registration terminal ID”, “provided service”, “registration date / time”, “registration status”, “password” Are stored in association with each other. In the registration status of “provisional registration”, browsing of services and information is restricted. In provisional registration, “use terminal ID” and “use date and time” in the association information are registered as “registered terminal ID” and “registration date and time” in the user registration information. As a result, the date of initial registration and the reader / writer 2 at the time of initial registration can be specified. For example, the registration information can be updated one year after registration.

  If the IC card ID has already been registered (step S201; Yes), the control unit 31 stores the use date and the use terminal in the user registration information based on the association information received from the reader / writer 2 (step S201). S203), the information reception process is terminated.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a connection time process that is executed when the server 3 is connected from the mobile terminal 1. In the connection process, first, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the mobile terminal ID transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 has been registered (step S301). The connection from the portable terminal 1 to the server 3 is performed by the user at an arbitrary timing from the portable terminal 1 that has acquired the URL from the reader / writer 2 via the IC card 15. This portable portable terminal 1 is configured to automatically transmit a portable terminal ID for identifying itself when a URL is connected.

  If the mobile terminal ID has not been registered (step S301; No), it is determined whether or not the password transmitted from the mobile terminal 1 (added to the URL) is a password already distributed from the server 3 (step S302). ). Here, the distributed password table in the storage unit 32 is searched to determine whether there is a password that matches the password transmitted from the mobile terminal 1.

  If the password is a distributed password (step S302; Yes), it is determined that the authentication is successful, and the control unit 31 performs main registration of user registration information that matches the password (step S303). In the main registration of the user registration information, the mobile terminal ID is associated with the user registration information, the status of the registration status becomes “main registration”, and all services can be used. Since the connection time process and the information reception time process shown in FIG. 7 are not synchronized, there is a possibility that the main registration process in step S303 may be executed before the temporary registration in step S202. In this case, the status of the registration status may be “temporary registration” in step S303, and “main registration” may be set in step S202.

  Then, the control part 31 produces | generates the screen which shows that this registration was completed, and transmits to the portable terminal 1 (step S304). Thereafter, the connection process is terminated.

  In step S302, if the password is not a distributed password (step S302; No), the main registration of the user registration information is not performed, it is determined that the authentication is unsuccessful, and the control unit 31 determines that the password authentication is an error. An error scene indicating the presence is generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 (step S305). Thereafter, the connection process is terminated.

  If the mobile terminal ID has already been registered in step S301 (step S301; Yes), information for the user is generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 (step S306). Thereafter, the connection process is terminated. Here, the information for users is information on services (discount coupon information and point information) that can be used in the mobile terminal 1 that has been accessed.

  As described above, without providing the mobile terminal 1 with a special configuration, the user registration information can be registered only by connecting to the URL from the mobile terminal 1, and the information for the user is acquired. Can do.

  Next, a specific example of the operation of the entire user registration system 100 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation when registering user registration information in the server 3 in the user registration system 100. When the non-contact communication unit 24 of the reader / writer 2 detects the IC card 15, the control unit 21 of the reader / writer 2 starts execution of the IC card detection process shown in FIG. First, the control unit 21 reads an IC card ID (“a” in the drawing) unique to the IC card 15 (step S101).

  Thereafter, the control unit 21 acquires the URL and password from the storage unit 22 (step S102), adds the password to the acquired URL, and transmits the URL to the IC card 15 (step S103). The mobile terminal 1 displays the received URL on the IC card 15 on the display unit 14 and stores the URL (+ password) in the storage unit 12. Thereby, the user of the portable terminal 1 can access the URL (server 3) at an arbitrary timing thereafter.

  Next, the control unit 21 uses the IC card ID “a” read in step S101, the use terminal ID (“1a” in the figure, the provided service (“coupon” in the figure)), the registration date and time, An IC card ID association process associated with the password (“111111” in the figure) is executed (step S104), and the control unit 21 transmits the associated association information to the server 3 (step S105). ), The process when detecting the IC card is finished.

  On the other hand, the control unit 31 of the server 3 that has received the association information from the reader / writer 2 starts execution of the information reception process shown in FIG. First, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the received IC card ID “a” has been registered as user registration information (step S201), and the IC card ID “a” has not been registered (step S201; No). The control unit 31 temporarily registers the user registration information in the storage unit 32 based on the association information received from the reader / writer 2 (step S202).

  Thereafter, when connected from the portable terminal 1, the control unit 31 performs password authentication (step S302). If the password authentication is successful, the control unit 31 performs main registration of user registration information (step S303), and the main registration is completed. A screen indicating this is generated and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1 (step S304). In the mobile terminal 1, a screen indicating that the main registration is completed is displayed on the display unit 14. Thereby, the user knows that the main registration of the user registration information has been completed.

  As described above, since the mobile terminal ID is verified using the one-time password, the user registration information can be easily registered in the server 3 without providing the mobile terminal 1 with a special configuration. Moreover, since it is not necessary to transmit IC card ID and portable terminal ID simultaneously from the portable terminal 1, security improves.

  Subsequently, a specific operation when the URL is obtained by holding the portable terminal 1 over the reader / writer 2 and receiving user information (service information, etc.) other than at the time of initial registration will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an operation when the user registration information of the server 3 is updated in the user registration system 100.

  The operation of the reader / writer 2 is the same as the example shown in FIG. The example of FIG. 10 is different in that the password is “222222” and the use terminal ID is “3l”.

  The control unit 31 of the server 3 that has received the association information from the reader / writer 2 starts execution of the information reception process shown in FIG. First, the control unit 31 determines whether or not the received IC card ID “a” has been registered as user registration information (step S201), and since the IC card ID “a” has already been registered (step S201; Yes). The control unit 31 stores the use date and the use terminal in the user registration information based on the association information received from the reader / writer 2 (step S203). Thereby, the user registration information is updated, and a new service can be used in the mobile terminal 1.

  Thereafter, when the mobile terminal 1 is connected, since the mobile terminal ID “A” has already been registered (step S301; Yes), corresponding user information is distributed to the mobile terminal 1 (step S306). Thus, since the corresponding information for users is distributed based on the mobile terminal ID automatically transmitted from the mobile terminal 1, the user can perform a simple operation without providing the mobile terminal 1 with a special configuration. Information for new users (coupon information etc.) can be referred to.

  Next, when the IC card 15 of the portable terminal 1 in which the user registration information is registered in the server 3 is read by the reader / writer 2, the operation when the server 3 uses a service (here, a coupon) will be described. To do. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an operation when a coupon is used in the user registration system 100.

  First, when the non-contact communication unit 24 of the reader / writer 2 detects the IC card 15 by non-contact communication, the IC card ID unique to the IC card 15 (“a ") Is read (step S11). When the coupon is used, the reader / writer 2 performs an operation different from the IC card detection process shown in FIG. The reader / writer when using the coupon may be a reader / writer 2 dedicated for using the coupon, which is different from the reader / writer 2 that executes the IC card detection process.

  Next, the control unit 21 of the reader / writer 2 transmits the IC card ID “a” read in step S11 to the server 3 (step S12).

  When the server 3 receives the IC card ID from the reader / writer 2, the control unit 31 of the server 3 searches the usage status information of the storage unit 32 using the IC card ID as a key, and provides the service associated with the IC card ID (Coupon) is searched (step T11). As shown in FIG. 11, “IC card ID”, “mobile terminal ID”, “provided service”, “usage status”, and the like are associated with the usage status information. “Usage status” indicates the usage status of the “provided service”. For example, the control unit 31 generates the usage status information based on the user registration information.

  If there is a provided service associated with the IC card ID, the service data is transmitted to the reader / writer 2 (step T12).

  When the reader / writer 2 receives service data, the control unit 21 outputs the service data from the output unit 25 to a register, a POS terminal, or the like (step S13). Then, when a service to be used is selected in a register, a POS terminal, or the like, the control unit 21 transmits service usage information including the usage terminal ID and usage date information to the server 3 ( Step S14).

  When the server 3 receives the usage information from the reader / writer 2, the control unit 31 updates the usage status information based on the usage information (step T13). Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the usage status is updated to “used”, and the usage terminal ID and usage date and time of the reader / writer 2 using the service are added to the usage status information.

  Thereafter, update result information indicating that the usage status information has been updated is transmitted from the server 3 to the reader / writer 2, and the reader / writer 2 that has received the information transmits the service usage result information from the output unit 25 to the register or POS terminal. And display it on a register or POS terminal (step S15).

  In this way, the user can receive service data simply by holding the portable terminal 1 over the reader / writer 2.

  Further, when the user accesses the server 3 from the mobile terminal 1, the user can be authenticated only by transmitting the mobile terminal ID, so that no special registration operation is required, and the use of registration information and services is possible. You can view the situation.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various deformation | transformation and application are possible.
