Description

  The present invention provides a mat-like device in which a communication terminal of a service user owns a specific ID code when receiving some service at a service counter such as a bank or an administration using a communication terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet. The present invention relates to a use authorization system that enables a related operation by reading an ID code from a service, and enables a service to be used.

  In recent years, communication terminals have been reduced in size and performance, and various services such as online banking using the Internet have become available. From the service provider's point of view, there are menus where all services can be completed online, and there are also service menus where face-to-face conversations are made at the service provider's window, such as depositing and withdrawing large amounts of time deposits.

  In an online service, a specific user authorization code (ID code) is given to a service user, and online payment can be made by a secret communication method.

  Not only bank settlements, but online transactions such as travel and ticket arrangements are widely used for commerce via the Internet, but as in the past, at certain locations such as banks and government offices, hotel counters, etc. In this case, it is necessary to fill in a predetermined form or have a conversation, and simplification of the window work is a potential demand.

  The procedures at bank counters and government offices are partly mechanized as seen in ATMs, but the service menu while conducting face-to-face conversations requires entry and stamping at the counter. For this reason, it is necessary to arrange a large number of various notification sheets at the counter and to manage them.

However, from the viewpoint of the service provider, the method of filling in the form requires time and effort to enter the information entered on the form into the system in the company. It is more desirable to be able to use a communication terminal such as a mobile phone that is familiar to you. While a service provider and a user's communication terminal use an encryption communication method to issue an ID code to a user and perform online transactions within a limited service menu range, In the service window, in addition to a communication terminal having an ID code, a stronger authorization means is required. In addition, since there is a risk that another person's communication terminal is used, it is also required to confirm the coincidence between the communication terminal and the user.
In addition, a dedicated terminal that should be a tablet other than a mobile phone is used for inputting songs in a karaoke room. In recent years, a device for ordering menus in a restaurant has been installed. It is desirable that a mobile phone can be used.

  The present invention solves such problems, and enables the use of a mobile phone owned by a user when using a service, while the mobile phone can only be used in a certain environment of a service window. Like that. It is noted that most mobile phones nowadays have a microphone, a QR code (registered trademark) reader, and a function for installing application software for a specific purpose.

The certain environment may be a room or a desk, but in the present invention, an underlay-like mat such as a mouse pad (hereinafter referred to as “certified mat”) is proposed in consideration of the spread promotion. . In order to authorize the communication terminal placed there, a mat ID code is assigned to each authorized mat, and it is automatically placed when the user's communication terminal is placed on the authorized mat. And the service application is started.
The service application is installed in the management server of the service company, and can be loaded in advance before the user goes to the service window, or can be loaded at the service window.
When using for the first time, user registration is required for entering the address, name, etc., and providing the user's face photo such as a driver's license number. The user ID is automatically used and service menu selection can begin. This user registration is equivalent to member registration in restaurants and karaoke rooms.

  The certified mat is provided with two speakers that generate an ultrasonic signal including the mat ID code, and a microphone provided in the communication terminal catches the ultrasonic signal. The user can use the service menu while comparing the determined mat ID signal with the mat number list distributed to the service provider. As technical means for realizing the certified mat, there are a method using a RFID, a method using an RFID, and a method using a QR code (registered trademark) in addition to a method using a speaker.

  Prior art document 1 discloses that a transmission speed of 2 KBPS and a distance of about 5 m have been made possible as a technique capable of receiving a modulated ultrasonic signal using a mobile phone. Prior art document 2 discloses a technique of using an ultrasonic communication means to communicate between a device (health measuring device in this document) and a relay device in the same room.

  The user's communication terminal is operated on the authorized mat, wirelessly communicates with the service terminal at the service window, and communicates with the management server of the service provider. As a result, the management server of the service providing company integrally manages what kind of application the user uses, what kind of certification mat, what kind of application, and what kind of application. The management server of the service provider communicates with a mackerel (mat provider server) of an authorized mat provider, and the authorized mat provider installs all mats distributed according to the mat configuration described below. Manage usage history. (See Figure 3 below)

  The application for using the service can be downloaded in advance from the service provider's website to the user's communication terminal, and the user can input the service menu to be received in advance. However, service applications can only be made on the mat ID.

  Using a communication terminal (mobile phone or tablet) owned by the user, all contact operations such as banks, government offices, and travel agencies are processed in a paperless manner, improving the convenience of the user and providing service providers. Can improve the efficiency of the processing system. The window service described above can also be used for menu orders in restaurants and music input in karaoke rooms, and it has been confirmed that customers are now in restaurant seats and in karaoke rooms. It is possible to place orders directly at the kitchen using the customer's communication terminal, and the accounting process can be omitted if linked with credit card debiting. This not only reduces the number of restaurant employees, increases customer convenience, but also increases restaurant management efficiency.

  The same usage method is used in various situations where people come into contact with the service for use, such as hotel check-in, check-out, distribution of numbered tickets at event venues, housing lease contracts, insurance contracts, etc., and securities transactions. it can.

It is a functional block diagram of a certification mat. It is a functional block diagram of a user communication terminal. It is a functional block diagram of a service window. It is a figure which shows the physical shape of a certification | authentication mat. It is a figure which shows the 2nd Example of an authorization mat.

  The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In FIG. 1, an electronic circuit on a certified mat includes a code generation circuit 11 that generates a code specific to the mat, a modulation circuit 12 that modulates the generated code with ultrasonic waves, a speaker 13 that generates a modulated sound wave, a battery 14, It comprises a location sensor 15 for detecting the location of the certified mat and a timer 16. Depending on the place where the certified mat is installed, DC power may be supplied from the AC adapter instead of the battery. The location sensor 15 may be a GPS sensor, but since the certified mat is often placed indoors, a sensor that receives radio waves corresponding to the room or floor where the certified mat is placed is preferable. Although not shown, a radio wave transmitter including floor number information is placed for each floor, and the location sensor 15 receives the radio wave and confirms that the certified mat is placed at the place where the certification mat is to be placed. A code specific to the mat is generated from the generation circuit 11. This is to prevent the certified mat from being used by mistake in places where it is not originally used, and at the same time is an anti-theft measure. The timer 16 measures the usage time of the certified mat, and is for knowing a guideline for replacing the certified mat corresponding to the battery life determined by the relationship between the power consumption of the certified mat and the number of times of use, for example, one year. Then, after the battery is inserted into the certified mat or after the vinyl sheet for starting the operation of the inserted battery is peeled off, the timer starts measuring time.

FIG. 2 shows a circuit functional configuration of a mobile phone placed on the certified mat. Compared with a microphone 21 that senses sound waves of the speaker 13, a demodulation circuit 22 that demodulates the code of the code generation circuit 11 from sound waves, and a mat dictionary 25. , A determination circuit 23 for determining on which certified mat the mobile phone is placed, an application list 26 indicating applications that can be used by the determined mat list, and the mobile phone pre-loads an application form etc. It consists of a preloading application 28 that writes items in advance, an application application 27 that enables the application of prior application contents, an application operation 29 that performs an application operation, WiFi, or a communication circuit 24 that communicates with a mobile phone. . As shown in Fig. 3, the service window terminal 40 is placed at the window where the application is received, and when the requested service work such as confirmation of the application content and the issuance of a resident's card is completed and the documents are handed to the applicant, Look at the applicant's face photo, verify the identity, and hand over the documents.
There is a service company management server 41 behind the service window terminal 40, and the management server does not need to be installed at the service window. However, if it is at the window, WiFi wireless communication is not used as a wireless communication means. Internet is available. The service company management server 41 is connected to the mat provider server 43 via the communication network 42. The mat provider server 43 manages the usage history of all certified mats, and enables unified management of information such as which certified mats are used how many times a day.

  With such a configuration, as an example, a workflow will be described when requesting issuance of a resident card at a public office.

  There are various forms of paper, such as resident cards, issuance of seal certificates, and submission of relocation notices, and there are several places to fill out on the office window. The certified mat according to the present invention is placed in the entry place. If you want to have a resident card issued, download the resident card form from the government office site to the person's mobile phone in advance, and fill out the necessary information on the mobile phone before going to the office. Keep it.

  At the counter, when the mobile phone 52 is placed on the certified mat 50 shown in FIG. 4, a code peculiar to the mat, “This is a mat for resident card-related application at the XX ward office” is ultrasonically modulated. The modulated signal is transmitted every 3 seconds, for example, and sound waves are generated from the two speakers 51 a and 51 b installed on the certified mat 50. The microphone of the mobile phone 52 senses the sound. The modulation frequency of the ultrasonic wave is preferably about 20 KHz that cannot be heard by the human ear and can be detected by the microphone of the mobile phone. As a modulation method, frequency modulation is more preferable than amplitude modulation in terms of a signal-to-noise ratio.

  The microphone of the mobile phone 52 demodulates the modulated wave, and the mat code is restored. The mat dictionary 25 (see FIG. 2) has a mat number corresponding to the application downloaded in advance by the mobile phone owner. Is stored, and the output of the demodulation circuit 22 determines what the mobile phone owner is currently trying while searching the mat dictionary 25. If nothing is known as a result of comparison with the mat dictionary 25, the operation ends there. As a result of the determination, the output of the determination circuit 23 indicates that in this case, an application relating to a resident's card is to be made. The operation screen for applying for the issuance of a resident's card appears on the screen of the mobile phone, and the application information is transmitted to the service window terminal 40 via the communication circuit 24 by operating according to the instructions on the screen. The application ends. If the user has not downloaded the application to the user's communication terminal in advance, as described below, the application can be loaded from the service management company and the required information can be written using the application application. The operation described above becomes possible.

  When the user's communication terminal is placed on the certified mat, a human sensor (not shown) detects this and transmits an ultrasonic wave every 3 seconds. The user's communication terminal receives the ultrasonic signal and uses it. However, when the user finishes the operation and leaves the authorized mat, the human sensor detects that and the transmission of the ultrasonic wave is stopped.

  Simultaneously with the end of the application, the application information is transmitted from the communication circuit 24 to the service window terminal 40, and the reception number is transmitted from the service window terminal 40 to the user's mobile phone. When the receipt number is received, the user leaves the certified mat and waits for the resident card to be received. When the resident's card is issued, go to the counter, and check it with a registered face photo and hand it over. Initial registration for user information is required for the first time use, but with the preload application 28, the required information such as address, name, etc. is written and “Initial registration, application” "Operate" and go to the service window. The government office or bank takes a picture of the person's face and registers it in the service window terminal 40 for identity verification. This face photo information is registered in the service company management server 41, and if it is a service of the service company, the face photo can be confirmed at any service point in any base from the next time.

  When the user has not downloaded the preload application 28, the application list 26 cannot be searched because there is no corresponding list in the mat dictionary 25. At this time, the mat code restored by the demodulating circuit 22 is sent to the service window terminal 40 via the communication circuit 24, and the service company management server 41 loads a candidate application from the mat code and applies to the preload application 28. By writing in the application 27, the same operation when preloaded is possible.

  In today's office flow, the applicant goes to the office, fills in the application form, submits the form to the application window, receives the reception number tag, presents the reception number tag and receives the document when the application document is completed Although it is a step, the present invention has the advantage that the application can be made paperless from the applicant's mobile phone, the application procedure time at the government office is reduced, and from the office, the application window work is simplified. is there.

  Next, the present invention will be described using an example of a restaurant menu order. In this example, the case where the user has not acquired the preload application will be described.

  An authorized mat according to the present invention is placed on a restaurant table. When a mobile phone is placed on the authorized mat, the mat code is automatically demodulated in the same manner as described above. The demodulated mat code is sent from the communication circuit 24 to a window terminal (such as a cash register) in the restaurant, and when it is determined that the mat is an authorized mat in the restaurant, the preload application 28 and the application 27 are automatically downloaded, and a restaurant menu is displayed on the mobile screen of the user. The user completes the menu order by selecting a menu and performing an application operation. Of course, you can modify and add menus.

  In addition, by entering credit card information, payment by card becomes possible.

  From the user's side, you can immediately place an order when you enter the restaurant and sit at the seat, and there is an advantage that you do not need to line up at the exit cash register because it is a card payment, from the person who is already sitting on the seat in the store from the restaurant side Because it is an order, it is possible to put it into cooking with confidence, to reduce the number of cashiers and listening to orders. If the user wants to come to the store again, registering the user can get the latest version of the preload application, and the store can distribute the new menu to prospective customers.

  Next, a use scene in a karaoke room will be described as an example.

  In the karaoke room, there is a music selection tablet for selecting songs you want to sing. If the certified mat of the present invention is placed on the table in the karaoke room, the same operation screen as that of the music selection tablet appears on the user's mobile phone, and music selection from the mobile phone becomes possible. In this case, karaoke equipment called a karaoke commander needs to have a wireless signal transmission / reception function such as Bluetooth as in the case of a mobile phone. If the karaoke user registers as a customer of the karaoke store, the preload application 28 can be loaded onto the mobile phone, and the user can know that a new song can be sung at the store. Also, on a train going to a karaoke store, decide on 10 songs that you are going to meet today and enter them on your mobile phone. When you arrive at the karaoke store and the mobile phone of the user is certified on the certified mat, the application 27 will start up, so you can transfer the 10 songs you entered earlier to the karaoke device. There is no need to select music for each song. When viewed from a karaoke store, the user's mobile phone plays the role of a music selection tablet, which has the advantage of reducing the number of music selection tablets installed. At restaurants and karaoke rooms, you will not need to take a photo of the user's face during initial registration.

  It is up to the service company to decide whether to take a face photo.

  As mentioned above, there are various situations for using the certified mat, but the code structure of the certified mat is 4 digits for the service menu (eg: resident card application) designation, and the service provider (eg, XX ward office) 4 digits for designation, 4 digits for designation of service base of service provider (ex. XX headquarters, YY branch office), 4 digits for designation of mat in service base (eg, mat A, mat B), mat manufacturing number etc. The management number of the mat that can be uniquely specified will be composed of about 12 digits. With these code configurations, as shown in FIG. 3, the service company management server 41 and the mat provider server (mat provider server) 43 connected by communication are installed in all mats provided by the mat provider. Identification and usage history can be managed. The certified mat is a certified device in a broad sense, the mat provider can be called an authorized device provider, and the mat provider server 43 in FIG. 3 can be called an authorized device management server.

  For example, resident card issuance, restaurant use, karaoke room use are specified in the service menu, Yokohama city office, restaurant company, karaoke company is specified by service provider, Tsuzuki Ward office, restaurant Hachioji store is specified in service base The table number and the counter number where the certified mat is placed are specified by the designated certification mat.

  Based on this code structure, the provider of the certified mat receives a request application from a service provider who intends to use the certified mat, determines the code of the certified mat to be provided, writes the decided code, Distribute the mat. Since the usage history of the certified mat is known by the mat provider server 43, the certified mat providing company can examine a detailed business model menu such as how to sell the certified mat. For example, a certified mat with a battery is sold in A yen including the battery charge, and a new certified mat is sold again in A yen when the battery life comes. The timer 16 guarantees the operation for one year. You can use a method that sells a fee of ¥ B in a usage contract, a method that distributes certified mats free of charge, and sets a fee according to the number of uses.

  FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the certified mat. As an internal configuration of the certified mat, a semiconductor element such as an RFID is used instead of the code generation circuit 11, the modulation circuit 12 and the speaker 13 shown in FIG. An example of replacement is shown below. In this case, as an internal configuration of the communication terminal, a reading circuit 30 that reads the code of the code storage element 17 is placed instead of the microphone 21 and the demodulation circuit 22. Since the mobile phone called “Osaifu mobile phone” has this reading circuit built in, if the communication terminals that can use RFID are widely spread, the configuration of the certified mat is simpler than that shown in FIG. Become. When this certified mat is used, RFID reading is required twice. As in the case of FIG. 1, the first time is when the terminal is placed on the authorization mat and the application is started, and the second time is just before the application operation is completed and the application content is sent to the communication circuit. Therefore, at the time of the first reading, the read code (certified mat specific number) is stored in the code memory 31, and when the application operation is completed, the user's communication terminal is held over the certified mat and read. After confirming the coincidence of the code with the code memory 31 by the coincidence confirmation circuit 32, the application content is sent to the communication circuit 24. This means that when reading an RFID element, the element and the reading unit must be close to each other, and unlike the case of using an ultrasonic certified mat, the operation is performed on the certified mat during the application process. This is because when the application is finally made, it is confirmed that the application has been made on the same certified mat that started the application.

When using visualization information such as a two-dimensional barcode called QR code (registered trademark) instead of a semiconductor element such as RFID as the code storage element 17 in FIG. In this case as well, the QR code (registered trademark) needs to be read twice for the same reason as the above RFID reading.
There is a feeling that communication terminals that can read QR codes (registered trademark) are more prevalent than communication terminals that can read RFID. However, an ultrasonic communication means such as the present invention and an RFID element QR code (registered trademark) are included in the certification mat. 3) can be installed, in which case it will be possible to handle whatever communication terminal the user has.

  As described above, the present invention comprises a certified device, a communication terminal such as a user's mobile phone or tablet, a service window terminal located at a service providing base, and a service company management server. The service company management server provides the software necessary for the execution of the service (such as the document format in the above-mentioned government office, the cooking menu in the restaurant example, and the karaoke song list in the karaoke shop example). This is a centralized management of the execution history (who, when, which mat was used, what service was used, etc.) and the installation status of authorized devices. Note that the mat provider server function of FIG. 3 may be incorporated in the service company management server.

  The certified mat according to the present invention can be sold at a low price even in view of its technical configuration, and for service providers, it improves the window service and improves the management efficiency. For service users, filling in documents at the counter is the minimum necessary, and it can be done with a mobile phone that the user is accustomed to using. This frees you from the hassle of writing and waits at the counter. There is also an advantage of time reduction. In addition, a new business model called certified mat providing business can be created, which can greatly contribute to industrial development.
