Description

  The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically creating product purchase history information and a method thereof. For example, product purchase history information that manages the product usage status in one or more convenience stores installed in multiple offices (locations) and automatically creates product purchase history information for users belonging to the community using a computer. The present invention relates to a creation apparatus and a method thereof.

  Conventionally, an instruction (for example, a product placement instruction) is transmitted to a terminal device carried by a salesperson under the sales center, and a computer receives a report for the instruction from the terminal device. The sales person loads the goods into the wagon according to the instructions from the computer, visits the customer company together with the wagon according to the instructions of the computer, and inspects and checks the “product box” installed in one or more workplaces (offices) of the customer company. Replenish and replace. In the conventional “product box”, at least one product can be arranged therein, and the type of product is not limited. For example, the product can be a confectionery. The contents of the product box are inspected regularly by the salesperson (for example, once a week, twice a week, once every two weeks, etc.). The salesperson collects the price from the price box of the product box and replenishes or replaces the product. For example, every time a salesperson visits the workplace (office), a product box management device that produces novelty by totally replacing the contents of any one of the product boxes is known (Patent Literature, reference).

  JP 2004-115256 A

  However, since the conventional product box management device periodically checks the contents of the product box, the product box management device cannot grasp the sales of the product in real time like the point-of-sales POS system. However, real-time analysis of the needs of the community that uses the product box installed in the office is difficult, and there is a problem that the manufacturer of the product leads to a decrease in accuracy of product development and product shipment plan according to the needs.

  In addition, in the conventional product box management device, the salesperson replenishes or replaces the product while collecting the price from the fee box. Therefore, if the product box installed in the office is not visually inspected, the amount of product replenished However, there is a problem that the labor of the sales staff is wasted because a large amount of products is transported to the product box. Moreover, since cash is collected from the fee box, if there are a plurality of offices to go around, the salesperson has to carry a large amount of cash, and there is a problem in crime prevention.

  And the user uses the product box in the office, but unpopular products only occupy the space in the product box until the salesperson visits next time, and does not provide any useful service to the user. There is also the problem of increasing dissatisfaction.

  The present invention has been made in response to such problems, and product purchase history information that contributes to the public interest of products that encourage product manufacturers to optimize product development and product shipment plans according to office needs It is an object of the present invention to provide an automatic creation apparatus and method thereof.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and method for automatically generating product purchase history information that allows users belonging to a community to make a payment by postpayment even when they do not have cash when using an office convenience store.

  In order to achieve the above object, an apparatus for automatically generating product purchase history information according to the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, stores registration information of products purchased by a user using an office combination installed in an office. An apparatus for automatically creating product purchase history information by a server 10 that collects and accumulates data received from a terminal 12 via a communication line (for example, a mobile communication carrier's wireless line and Internet line). Authentication means (for example, authenticating the user terminal 12 using the identification information of the user terminal 12 that receives information (for example, a unique number) via a communication line and stores the information in advance in a memory device (for example, a hard disk) of the server 10. , A computer software program executed by the CPU provided in the server 10), and product registration information from the user terminal 12 For example, if a QR code or product code printed on a QR code or product code) is received via a communication line and the authentication means permits authentication, the product registration information is analyzed. Then, the product registration information analysis means (for example, the server 10) for specifying the product information (for example, the product name or product code and the best-before period information) and the installation location information (for example, the office location code or location name) purchased by the user. The computer software program executed by the CPU provided in the computer and the product information and installation location information analyzed by the registered information analysis means are associated with each other and stored in a memory device (for example, a hard disk) and stored in this memory device. Read the same product information and installation location information to determine the number of products in the office convenience store Inventory number calculation means for outputting stock information (for example, a computer software program executed by a CPU provided in the server 10), identification information of the user terminal 12 stored in a memory device (for example, a hard disk), and product information Corresponding registration information and usage date information (authentication date or registration information incoming date), calculate the price of the product purchased by the user, and charge information (for example, use of the line of the mobile carrier) Price information generation means (for example, a computer software program executed by a CPU provided in the server 10).

  With this configuration, a user who has contracted with a mobile communication company can cash-free the products and services placed in the office convenience store by the user terminal 12 (mobile phone, intelligent terminal, or personal computer) that the user has. Since the server 10 can collect the sales of the product in real time, the product inventory can be grasped without bothering the sales staff, and the collection of the product price is added to the monthly communication fee and automatically cleared. Therefore, sales information of these products can be provided to the maker server 14 in real time or daily via a communication line (for example, the Internet network).

  As described above, according to the product purchase history information automatic creation device by the server 10 of the present invention, the sales information of products is transmitted in real time from the user side belonging to the community, so that the conventional manufacturer-led product box management device Compared to this, it is easy to devise a plan for product procurement, product shipment, and product replenishment, so it is possible to improve convenience for product manufacturers. In addition, it is possible to distinguish between hit products and idle products in real time, and it is possible to quickly and accurately grasp when new products are introduced.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. An apparatus for automatically creating product purchase history information by the server 10 according to the present embodiment of the present invention is connected to the user terminal 12 via a communication line, and includes business preparation information for product manufacture, system design information for the server 10, The entire product planning information that forms a community with the manufacturer server 14 and the user can be integrated. In particular, since the server 10 identifies an office and collects sales information of individual products from the user terminal 12 via a communication line, an order for an individual product and a shipment arrangement for instructing product delivery are sent to the logistic server via a communication line. It can also be sent.

  Then, the product sales of a plurality of offices belonging to the community can be aggregated, and the product shipment arrangement information can be transmitted to the logistic server so that the currently popular products are arranged in each office convenience store. Of course, it is also possible to transmit the increased production information of the popular product via the communication line to the manufacturer server 14 of the company that manufactures the popular product.

  In short, production information and distribution information are concentrated on the server 10 to satisfy the demand for suddenly hit one-season products, and spread to a plurality of manufacturer servers 14 to stimulate new demand and balance product supply. Can be maintained.

  Further, the server 10 receives registration information received from the user terminal 12 via a communication line, for example, a mobile phone unique number or a mobile phone account and password as the user terminal 12, and product registration information, and calculates the CPU. Since it can be totaled by processing, usage information that is sales information of products arranged in the community can be acquired in real time and stored in the memory device.

  Furthermore, the server 10 can also calculate and output the sales ranking of products using the aggregated usage information, and the product information of the current top 10 selling items can also be calculated by comparing the selling product information with the sales of other products. It can also be output.

  Furthermore, since the server 10 can acquire the unique number of the user terminal 12, it is possible to add the price of the product purchased by the user to the mobile phone communication business, for example, to the monthly bill. Therefore, the user can purchase or use the product at the office convenience store without cash.

  In this way, the business model using the server 10 improves the convenience for the user, and at the same time, it is possible to eliminate the empty product of the company that manufactures the product and optimize the introduction of new hit products. Profits can be distributed fairly to manufacturers and office convenience store operators, which contributes to the public.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram schematically showing an overall configuration of an apparatus for automatically creating a product purchase history by a server 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, a product purchase history automatic creation device by the server 10 is connected to a communication line such as the Internet, and a storage area for storing a communication log record in a memory device to which a hard disk or flash memory can be applied, a CPU A storage area for the web that is executed by the user, a storage area for storing the unique number that is the identification information of the user terminal 12, and a storage area for storing the e-mail address information that is the identification information of the user terminal 12. The product purchase information and the unique number or e-mail address information as the identification information are received from the user terminal 12 of the user who uses the office convenience store, and the product is sent to the manufacturer server 14 which manufactures the product to be placed in the office convenience store via the communication line. Sales information (eg product identification code and office combination location information) And to send a shipment arrange information on the product (specific information or to ship any time to anywhere in the office convenience store a gluteal products).

  Then, the server 10 transmits product delivery request information to the logistic server 16, and charges the product purchased by the user to the electronic commerce BTB server 18 of the communication carrier used by the user terminal 12 via the communication line. Send information. In this case, the user can pay for the product purchased without cash in addition to the communication fee charged monthly by the communication carrier.

The communication carrier receives the product price collected from the user on behalf of the user and remits the monthly product price by transferring the received amount to the business entity operating the office convenience store.

The business entity operating the office convenience store transfers the money corresponding to the purchase amount of the collected product price to the bank account of the product manufacturer, and sends the delivery price corresponding to the shipping request information sent to the logistics server 16 to the product delivery company. You can transfer money to your bank account.

  As described above, the apparatus for automatically creating a product purchase history by the server 10 according to the present embodiment uses the unique number or the e-mail address of the user terminal 12 to purchase the product purchased by the user, for example, what time and where the office convenience store. In addition to receiving in real time what (special product) was purchased, the CPU recalculates the replenishment plan of the purchased product in real time and calculates and outputs the product inventory information of each office convenience store. When entering the replenishment range, the manufacturer server 14 can be notified.

  Moreover, the manufacturer server 14 may be a single server or a plurality of manufacturers, and a plurality of product manufacturers can jointly arrange products in a plurality of office convenience stores. In this case, each product manufacturer does not have a sales person or a delivery person, and the business entity that operates the office convenience store can place orders for products, arrange delivery, and collect payments, so that human resources are not wasted. This is advantageous.

  Here, the server 10 transmits the product inventory information of the office convenience store (for example, the location information and product code of the office convenience store) to the product manufacturer server 14 via the communication line. The product manufacturer server 14 calculates the product production plan according to the product inventory information received from the server 10 via the communication line and outputs the production plan. Also, the product manufacturer server 14 has a new period even if the shelf life is 6 months. For non-moving products that do not receive product inventory information for 1 month for planned products and 3 months for long sailor products), the product replacement plan is processed and the product replacement list is output to the display. An operator of the product manufacturer server 14 can visually inspect the product replacement list and determine a replacement plan for the non-moving product. Of course, a product whose remaining value (for example, the remaining 30 days) in the shelf life has been reduced can be incorporated as a product replacement target product as a non-moving product, and the price of the product placed in the office convenience store can be discounted (user terminal 12 Since the discount price is displayed on the screen, the user's willingness to purchase can be stimulated, so that it is possible to prevent product recovery logistics costs and waste of product resources.

  The office convenience store used in the present embodiment includes a form in which a plurality of products are arranged in a predetermined box and a form in which a food and beverage bending machine is used. For example, the product may be tangible or intangible, such as confectionery, medicine, drinking water, concert ticket, airline ticketing, copy machine or facsimile use.

  It is very convenient if such an office convenience store is installed in an office (workplace). This is because when a customer company employee wants to eat confectionery during work or overtime, he has to go out of the office to get a concert ticket or a public transport ticket. This is because there is no hassle to go shopping. An employee who thought "I want to eat sweets" takes out a favorite product from an office convenience store, captures a tag attached or printed on the product with the camera of the user terminal 12, and acquires product registration information. By performing the product purchase process while viewing the display of the user terminal 12, the price of the product can be settled together with the communication fee charged by the communication carrier. Therefore, users of office convenience stores can purchase products cashlessly, so there is no need for a conventional price box, so there is no need for a protection mechanism to prevent theft of money placed in the price box. This is an advantage over the prior art. In addition, since there is no need for cost collection personnel or security for transportation of costs, human resources can be used effectively.

  Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described “tag attached to or printed on a product”, and the user can be specified by the e-mail address of the user terminal 12 received from the user terminal 12 via the communication line. In this case, since the route history of the mail server is described in the header information of the e-mail, the server 10 analyzes the route history and executes a matching process with a pre-registered e-mail address to authenticate the user terminal 12. It can also be executed.

  Further, it goes without saying that the logistics that carry out the shipment and collection of the product may use the logistics server 16 to charge the communication carrier for the product price.

  Furthermore, the server 10 can request the user to secure a compensation money to restrict unlimited purchases of products, or set a credit limit for each user terminal 12 to deal with a business transaction exceeding the credit amount. Thus, alert notification or authentication stop processing can be performed. For example, the upper limit amount may be set to 300,000 yen with respect to the user terminal 12, and transaction stop processing may be dealt with when this amount is exceeded. By this processing, unauthorized use of the user terminal 12 that has been stolen can be limited by a certain limit, and can be guaranteed by insurance.

    FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display screen of the user terminal 12 using the apparatus for automatically creating product purchase history information by the server 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  On the display screen 30 of the user terminal 12a, for example, a QR code 32 pasted or printed on a product imaged by a CCD camera mounted on a mobile phone terminal is displayed. At the bottom of the display screen 30, a purchase “cancel” software button and a “shoot” software button for imaging the QR code again are provided.

  FIG. 7 shows a mode in which the QR code 32 is decoded by operating a hardware button (for example, an operation button other than a cursor button or a numeric keypad) of the user terminal 12. The decoded result can be displayed in the box 44 by bringing the cursor to the “decode” software button 38 shown in the figure. Although the button 40 is a camera icon and the button 42 is a save button, the layout of each button does not limit the present invention.

  The user terminal 12a selects the “decode” software button 38 and presses the enter button, so that the QR code displayed on the display screen 30 is decoded. This aspect is shown in FIG. Of course, if it is desired to cancel the product purchase, the product purchase can be canceled by executing the selection and determination process of the “cancel” software button shown in the figure.

  FIG. 9 shows the decoding result of the QR code 32 displayed on the user terminal 12a. This QR code includes the product code of the product to be purchased, the location information of the purchased office convenience store, the shelf life information of the product, or the date of manufacture.

  As a result of the decoding, the URL of the office combination server 10 and the ID information for specifying the location of the office convenience store are displayed in the box at the bottom of the screen. It is also advantageous in that the user can determine to some extent whether or not a phishing scam or a farming scam by visually checking the top domain of the display result.

  FIG. 10 is a web mail screen displayed when the user terminal 12b accesses the server 10 of the office convenience store. In order to specify the office convenience store server 10, the URL of the mail server affixed or printed on the product can be input from the user terminal 12b, and the web page set for each office convenience store can be accessed. In this web mail, an office convenience store product purchase screen is displayed and a message “Do you want to purchase the following products?” Is displayed. An ID for identifying the location of the office convenience store, an office name, and a product image are displayed on the screen. Of course, the product code of the product purchased by the user, the location information of the purchased office convenience store, the best-before date information of the product or the date of manufacture information is included.

  The user terminal 12b selects the ID of the office convenience store, the office name, the product code of the product, the shelf life information of the product, or the date of manufacture information by selecting and determining the “send” software button 52. Can be sent to.

  On the screen 30 of the user terminal 12b, an office convenience store purchase confirmation screen is displayed, and an office convenience store ID and office name, and a message “Product purchased.” Are displayed. Of course, an image of the product may be displayed on the screen 30 in order to make the user confirm the product purchase.

    FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the apparatus for automatically creating product purchase history information by the server 10.

  The server 10 receives the QR code and the unique number from the user terminal (step S1). The received unique number and the unique number recorded in advance in the server 10 are matched, and if the identity is confirmed, authentication is permitted (step S2).

  Then, the server 10 analyzes the QR code, and creates a QR code tag for the prize delivery information and the supplementary product required. Needless to say, as described above, the product manufacturer server 14 may create a QR code tag for a product requiring replenishment, or the product manufacturer server 14 may print the QR code on the individual packaging surface of the product.

  Subsequently, the server 10 determines whether or not the product purchased by the user is a supplementary product. When it is determined that the product is a supplemental product, the server 10 transmits product delivery information to the corresponding product manufacturer server 14 via a communication line ( Step S5).

  The server 10 may optionally perform a double account tick (step S6). This check is a fraud prevention system for eliminating a malicious third party who illegally purchases a product by tampering with a SIM card mounted on the user terminal 12.

  In addition, in the double account tick (step S6), since the location information of the office convenience store where the product is purchased can be specified, if an event of purchasing the product from multiple locations occurs at the same time (for example, several hours), unauthorized purchase As an effect, the use of the office convenience store is stopped.

  For example, when product purchase information is received in Tokyo and a product purchase with the same unique number is detected in Osaka within 3 hours, the use of the office convenience store with this unique number is temporarily suspended and the authorized user Alert information can be sent to the terminal using a short mail service to notify the danger of unauthorized use.

  If the use of the office convenience store is permitted after passing the above-described authentication and double account check, processing for adding a product purchase charge to the communication charge of the communication carrier used by the user terminal 12 is executed in step S7 ( Step S7).

  The server 10 branches to the error processing step S8 and the alert information processing step S9 when the authentication is rejected in step S2 or the use of the office convenience store is rejected in the double account check (step S6). The present invention is also advantageous in that a commercial transaction can be performed.

  Hereinafter, the processing of the communication carrier unique number will be described.

  It operates by supplying power from the battery of the mobile phone body, and the mobile phone itself can be used as a GUI for FeliCa (registered trademark) through a dedicated application. In addition, many services can be used with a single mobile phone.

  Mobile phones with built-in contactless ICs are the only products on the market, but NTT Docomo (registered trademark) is participating in the Near Field Communication (NFC) Forum and working towards international standardization.

  i-mode FeliCa (registered trademark): NTT Docomo (registered trademark) announced the first Felica (registered trademark) mobile phone (i-mode FeliCa) in Japan.

  As the name of Osaifu, it is used for various purposes such as tickets, tickets, points, membership cards, etc., mainly for vending machines, payments at stores and online mail order as electronic money.

  The electronic money service Edy (registered trademark) that uses the FeliCa chip and the boarding card Suica (registered trademark) of East Japan Railway (registered trademark) are compatible with Osaifu-Keitai.

  For these business operators, the cardholder base can be greatly expanded, and online shopping can be completed up to payment, and payment to the card can be completed only with a mobile phone using i-mode etc. This saves the user the trouble of depositing money.

  By attaching a mobile phone screen to a card that did not have a function to display previously written information, you can immediately check the charge amount and usage history, etc. Point service linked with i-mode (registered trademark) and the latest information There are advantages such as being able to provide. There are also examples in which payment of game fees at game centers is made by taking advantage of the characteristics of electronic money that allows easy payment of small amounts or fractional amounts.

  In addition, while mass merchant point cards and various prepaid cards and membership cards are beneficial to both consumers and dealers, managing and carrying them all has been a heavy burden on consumers. Osaifu-Keitai can integrate these services into one mobile phone. BicCamera (registered trademark) point reduction and All Nippon Airways (registered trademark) mileage reduction supported. A service called TOWNPOCKET, which allows easy use of a membership card system at small stores, was launched under the slogan “Bookmark a town on a mobile phone”.

  In addition, by downloading electronic tickets from the network and using Osaifu-Keitai compatible mobile phones instead of air tickets and event tickets, it is possible to use them as condominium keys as intangible keys that are difficult to duplicate, and to save time for issuing tickets. There are also cases to do.

  In addition, although it is not directly related to the card function, advanced security functions can be realized using unique information built into the FeliCa (registered trademark) chip individually. Sony Finance International (registered trademark) has started a service "eLIO order" that adds a function as a child card. This payment method does not require any credit card number input, and uses only the information stored in the FeliCa (registered trademark) chip to complete the exchange, so it is technically highly secure and the user can feel secure. , Explained. It can also be used with a general FeliCa card reader PaSoRi.

  However, Osaifu-Keitai is a powerful platform that integrates multiple functions, including payment functions, into a mobile phone, so there is a risk that the mobile phone may be lost or damaged or stolen. The risk of theft is a problem also seen in conventional credit cards, etc., but since various types of electronic money etc. are built into the mobile phone, the user is required to perform many procedures for self-defense.

  Osaifu-Keitai is designed so that the basic functions of each service can be used even in places where the mobile phone does not receive radio waves. If the mobile phone is stolen or dropped, it can be registered even if the mobile phone line is stopped. The functions of credit cards, prepaid cards, commuter passes, etc. that have been made will not be stopped at the same time.

  Therefore, the user must contact each service provider himself and carry out the procedure for suspension of use. In addition, in Japan, where there is a strong sense of resistance to credit cards, a terminal with a function that locks the function of FeliCa (registered trademark) through a telephone line or incoming mail has been released in order to resolve these concerns. The appeal of protection.

  Furthermore, in the event of loss or theft, you can stop using the service by contacting each business operator, but you can lock all the functions of your mobile phone, including the wallet function, remotely by setting it as a mobile phone function in advance. it can.

  Furthermore, you can usually lock your IC card and unlock it only when you use it (there is a function that automatically locks after a preset time has passed). The wallet function can be disabled. Mobile Suica / nanaco can be stopped by contacting the center by phone, and in the case of credit services such as smartplus / QUICPay / iD, the damage amount is guaranteed 60 days from the date of contacting the center.

  On the other hand, when the ID card is used for a membership card, employee ID card, key, etc., there is a risk of impersonating the person who picked up the mobile phone from the authentication side. The challenge is how to include information that is included in the face of a ticket, such as a photo of a face, with a conventional ID card.

  In addition, there are a number of non-contact IC card service platforms that have been designed in the past, and are designed to be inserted into the card, so there are cases where conventional infrastructure cannot be used.

  Osaifu-Keitai is generally premised on charging online because the card cannot be inserted into a deposit machine, etc., but in this case, in places where the mobile phone battery is dead or radio waves do not enter You will not be able to charge.

  In order to provide services that can be used with peace of mind in all scenes, devices will continue to be required, but expectations are high as electronic “wallets” to be installed in mobile phones, which are the most popular information terminals. The business model is proposed.

  Osaifu-Keitai's FeliCa (registered trademark) chip is fixed to the mobile phone and cannot be removed. Data transfer after removal like SIM card or microSD card is not possible. When repairing or changing models, the data in FeliCa, such as Suica and Edy, must be deposited with each service company, and the data must be returned after repair or model replacement. The procedure is complicated because there is a case where re-registration of personal information and credit card is required like Edy.

  Second, it is no exaggeration to say that mobile phones have become a necessity for Japanese people. Most people don't know cell phones. However, it seems that the “SIM card” that plays an important role in mobile phones is not well known. This time, we will introduce the role and usage of SIM cards in detail.

  An essential SIM card for modern mobile phones. NTT Docomo (registered trademark) FOMA card (UIM), Softbank (registered trademark) USIM card, e-mobile (registered trademark) USIM card (for voice contract), and e-mobile (registered trademark) USIM card ( For data contracts).

  In the first place, “SIM card” is an abbreviation of “Subscriber Identity Module”. When translated into Japanese, it feels like a “contractor specific module”. In short, the IC chip where the contract information of the mobile phone line is written is the SIM card.

  Each SIM card has a unique number that is not rewritable. When it is confirmed that the unique number matches the mobile phone number written on the card on the carrier network, communication can be performed for the first time as a mobile phone. If it cannot be confirmed, it cannot be used.

  The SIM card was first adopted in the GSM system, which is the second-generation mobile phone (2G) standard that is popular all over the world except Japan and Korea. Also, the W-CDMA system, which is the third generation mobile phone (3G) standard, is adopted as a UIM (User Identity Module) card or USIM (Universal SIM) card having upward compatibility with the SIM card. In this article, UIM cards and USIM cards are also called “SIM cards” unless otherwise noted.

  SIM card slot of mobile phone terminal. The photo shows the Docomo (registered trademark) F-01A / au W51H / Softbank (registered trademark) 930SC / e-mobile D02HW SIM card slot. There are various SIM removal methods depending on the terminal, so refer to the instruction manual of the terminal.

  SIM cards are small IC chips that can be easily removed. In addition, SIM cards and mobile phone terminals are not contractually linked in principle (sometimes they are contractually linked. For this reason, the model change can be completed simply by touching the SIM card to another mobile phone terminal. In addition, since the SIM card can record phonebooks (although it is simple) and SMS (short messages), the phonebook and SMS can be moved together with the SIM card. Convenient.

  In addition, since the same SIM card can be reused on multiple terminals, it is possible to change only the terminal without changing the phone number according to the TPO. For example, it is possible to use a terminal for private use and work, or use a terminal for making a call or enjoying the Internet.

  It is also possible to reuse SIM cards from multiple mobile phone operators on the same terminal. For overseas mobile phones, so-called "SIM-free terminals" that can be used by freely replacing SIM cards of various telecommunications carriers are common, so SIM cards that can make calls and communicate at the best price according to the place of stay By switching to, communication charges can be saved.

  In Japan, the original Japanese standard, the PDC method, has become widespread. The PDC system is a communication system developed by the “Radio System Development Center (Current Radio Industries Association)” as 2G and led by NTT Docomo (registered trademark).

  In this PDC method, a method of directly writing contract information such as a telephone number on a mobile phone terminal has been adopted. For this reason, contract information must be transferred using a storefront machine when changing the model, and the old mobile phone after the model change cannot be used unless another contract information is newly written. .

  Another way is to use SIM to use attractive devices that carriers don't sell. For example, a W-CDMA SIM-free terminal such as “HTC P3600” can be used with a DOCOMO FOMA card or SoftBank USIM card.

  In addition, SoftBank (registered trademark) USIM cards are contracted under the White Plan and used for calls between SoftBank (registered trademark), and for fixed-time calls and calls that are not eligible, the UIM contracted under the preferred plan is used. It is also possible.

  Up to this point, we have explained the role and history of SIM cards in mobile phones, the characteristics of each carrier, and how to use them, but in this way, SIM cards that are usually invisible are also very interesting. I understand.

The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments according to the present invention, and various modifications and changes can be made within the scope of the gist of the present invention described in the claims. Is possible.
