Specifically, the present invention uses a mobile information device owned by an individual or the like as a terminal and makes a payment using a QR code (registered trademark) to make a payment for a paid laundry device installed in a laundry store. The present invention relates to a two-dimensional code payment system for laundry stores that enables the use of the laundry equipment.
In addition, in this specification, the following terms are used and interpreted by the following definitions. A two-dimensional code is a code that has information in two directions, vertical and horizontal, and QR codes are widespread, but not limited to this.
Security information refers to information that has a function of protecting information from eavesdropping and falsification, and passwords, URLs that can be connected only once (Uniform Resource Locator), and the like are known.
One-time security information refers to information that is valid only once or security information that is valid only for a predetermined time.
The one-pass code is a code that is valid only once, not limited to the person or another person, and the URL method is known as the code, but the code is not limited to this.
A one-time password is a method of generating and using an ad hoc character string that is valid only for a short time as a secret character string (password) used for identity verification of a user, and is also known as a one-time key or one. Also known as time authentication.

As the first prior art, the provider of the product or service displays the transaction information such as the payment amount and the payment account by using a two-dimensional code or the like, and the customer uses the camera (imaging) function of the user terminal. An electronic money system that acquires a two-dimensional code and makes a payment is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
As a second prior art, in coin laundry, when the laundry management server receives the customer identification information from the mobile information terminal owned by the customer and the identification information identifying the equipment to be used, the laundry management server confirms that the customer identification information is correct. It includes a means for transmitting operation permission information to the equipment specified by the identification information and a means for receiving the operation information from the laundry equipment and creating invoice information for the customer based on the customer identification information and the operation information.

Special Table 2013-530445 (Figs. 1 to 15, paragraph 0012) JP 2002-239300 (Figs. 1 to 3, paragraphs 0020 to 0021) JP 2018-120631 (Figs. 1 to 8, paragraphs 0011 to 0036)

In the first conventional technique, transaction information such as payment amount, payment account of a product or service provider, etc. is displayed on a printed two-dimensional code, and the user photographs this using the camera function of a mobile information device. It is a highly convenient system because payment is completed by sending it as payment request information together with its own payment source information. However, when this system is applied to laundry equipment, in an unmanned laundry where a manager is absent, there is a risk that the payee information in the printed two-dimensional code will be rewritten to a different payee information and installed. Is difficult to adopt.
The second conventional technique is a highly convenient system capable of so-called cashless transactions. However, the management server installed in the techno center via the public communication line must process all the users connected at that time. Then, if the management server is not configured assuming all the laundry machines, the response speed will be slowed down and the user's dissatisfaction will increase.
In the third prior art, both cash and points can be used in the laundry store, and since points are not valuable information, there is an advantage that they can be executed with simple equipment. However, when using value information, for example, so-called QR code payment, a card reader for reading and rewriting points is used, so there is a concern that it is vulnerable to fraudulent acts such as skimming.
