(motion)
The operation of the server 30 when a user purchases or refunds a commuter pass, or makes a reservation for purchasing or refunding a commuter pass will be described below.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the server 30 in the information processing system. The operations of this flowchart are realized by the processor 301 of the server 30 reading and executing a program stored in the program memory 302 .

First, the server 30 pre-stores the commuter pass information and reservation information of the IC card 20 in the data memory 303 . That is, the server 30 stores in the data memory 303 reservation information, which is information necessary for updating the commuter pass information by receiving the IDi. Note that this reservation information may be received from the user device 10 or the window processing machine 40 .

This flowchart starts when the processor 101 of the user device 10 possessed by the user who wishes to purchase or refund the commuter pass transmits the IDi of the IC card 20 to the server 30 . The user can transmit the IDi by inputting the IDi of the IC card 20 into the application of the user device 10 or the website operated on the server 30 .

Processor 301 of server 30 receives IDi (ST11). The processor 301 retrieves the reservation information associated with the received IDi and stored in the data memory 303 .

Processor 301 transmits the reservation information to user equipment 10 (ST12). The processor 101 of the user device 10 that has received the reservation information displays the received reservation information on the display unit 108 . Then, the user confirms whether there is any change in the reservation information, and updates it if there is any change. Furthermore, the user inputs the date on which he/she wishes to purchase the commuter pass or the date on which he or she wishes to execute the refund. Then, the processor 101 transmits to the server 30 as updated reservation information including the purchase date or refund date of the commuter pass and the updated reservation information.

Processor 301 receives the update reservation information (ST13).
Processor 301 then determines whether discount information is included in the update reservation information (ST14). Discount information must be confirmed each time a commuter pass is purchased. Therefore, the processor 301 needs to confirm whether discount information is included in the update reservation information.

If discount information is included in the reservation information, processor 301 determines whether the discount information included in the reservation information and the discount information included in the updated reservation information are the same (ST15). For example, the processor 301 confirms whether the scan information of the school certificate or student ID included in the reservation information and the scan information of the school certificate or student ID included in the update reservation information are the same. If there is no scan information in the reservation information, the processor 301 determines that they are not the same.

If the discount information is not the same, processor 301 registers the discount information included in the update reservation information (ST16). For example, when the processor 101 of the user device 10 transmits scan information of a newly issued school certificate to the server 30 as discount information of the updated reservation information, the processor 301 determines that the discount information is different from the discount information included in the reservation information. do. Therefore, the processor 301 overwrites the discount information included in the updated reservation information as the discount information included in the reservation information.

If it is determined in step ST14 that the discount information is not included in the updated reservation information, or if it is determined in step ST15 that the discount information is the same, the processor 301 transmits reservation confirmation information to the user device 10 (ST17). . The reservation confirmation information includes the amount required to purchase the commuter pass or the refund amount. If the registration information includes discount information, processor 301 determines the amount based on the discount information. In addition, when the refund amount is included, the reservation confirmation information may include information on how long the same amount can be used. For example, the reservation confirmation information includes information about dates after which the user wishes to be refunded. Also, the processor 301 can include in the reservation confirmation information information for confirming with the user whether the commuter pass is to be used up to the longest possible day with the same refund amount. The user can also amend the refund date based on this information.

Processor 301 determines whether to receive payment information (ST18). When the user desires cashless payment such as credit payment to purchase a commuter pass, the processor 101 of the user device 10 transmits payment information. The payment information may include, for example, information necessary for payment such as a credit card number and a personal identification number. Also, if there is a revision of the refund date, the payment information may include information about the revised refund date.

When payment information is received, the processor 301 makes a payment based on the payment information (ST19). Processor 301 then registers the reservation confirmation information in data memory 303 . Note that if the payment information includes information about a revised refund date, the processor 301 may modify the refund date included in the reservation confirmation information. After that, the processor 301 updates the commuter pass information based on the registered reservation information (updated reservation information or reservation confirmation information). In this case, the IC card 20 does not need to be held up to station service equipment such as the window processing machine 40 to update the information on the commuter pass. For example, when the IC card 20 is held up to station service equipment such as a ticket gate connected to the server 30, the information about the commuter pass stored in the IC card 20 can be rewritten. Also, in the case of a refund, the refund amount may be paid to the user through a predetermined process using a credit card.

On the other hand, when payment information is not received, processor 301 registers reservation confirmation information as reservation information in data memory 303 in association with IDi (ST20). It should be noted that the processor 301 may correct the refund date included in the reservation confirmation information when receiving information indicating that the refund date has been corrected from the user. Further, the processor 301 may transmit information to the user about the expiration date of the reservation and information to the effect that the IC card 20 needs to be processed to the window processing machine 40 by the reservation deadline. For example, the reservation deadline is 14 days after the date of reservation. Furthermore, the processor 301 can resend the reservation information to the e-mail address included in the reservation information at a predetermined date and time before the reservation deadline. This prevents the user from forgetting to hold the IC card 20 over the window processing machine 40 . It should be noted that the processor 301 can also delete the reservation information if the IC card 20 is not held over the window processing machine 40 even after the reservation deadline has passed. As a result, unnecessary reservation information can be deleted.

Next, a method of processing the IC card 20 at the window processing machine 40 after the reservation information is registered will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flow chart showing an example of processing in the window processing machine 40 in the information processing system. The operation of this flowchart is realized by the processor 401 of the window processing machine 40 reading and executing the program stored in the program memory 402 .

First, an operator such as a station attendant of the window processing machine 40 receives the IC card 20 from the user and inserts the IC card 20 into the IC card rewriting unit 406, thereby starting this flow chart.

Processor 401 reads IDi from inserted IC card 20 (ST21).
Processor 401 then transmits a query request based on IDi to server 30 (ST22).

Processor 401 determines whether matching information is received from server 30 (ST23). The processor 301 of the server 30 searches the data memory 303 for an IDi matching the received IDi. If a matching IDi is found, processor 301 of server 30 retrieves from data memory 303 the reservation information associated with IDi. The processor 301 then transmits match information including IDi and reservation information to the window processing machine 40 . If the reservation information associated with the received IDi cannot be found, the processor 301 sends discrepancy information to the teller processor 40 indicating that there is no reservation information corresponding to the received IDi.

When receiving mismatch information, processor 401 outputs an IDi mismatch error to display section 410 (ST24). In this case, the operator of the window processing machine 40 may inform the user that the reservation information associated with the IC card 20 is not registered, and request that the correct IC card 20 be submitted.

When IDi matching information is received, processor 401 outputs reservation information to display section 308 (ST25). The operator of the window processing machine 40 can show the reservation information to the user and confirm whether the reservation information is correct. For example, the operator corrects the reservation information if necessary and outputs an instruction to the processor 401 to make a payment for purchasing a commuter pass.

Processor 401 executes settlement (ST26). For example, the processor 401 makes a payment based on a payment instruction and payment information. If cash is required for this settlement, the deposit/withdrawal unit 407 is used to receive cash input or withdrawal.

Processor 401 prints information about the commuter pass at a predetermined location on IC card 20 based on the reservation information (ST27). The processor 401 then transmits to the server 30 information indicating that the reservation information has been settled. The server 30 overwrites the data memory 303 with the commuter pass confirmation information included in the reservation information as the reservation information. Then, the server 30 updates the commuter pass information based on the reservation information.

(Effect)
According to the embodiment described above, the IDi of the IC card 20 can be used to simplify the procedure for purchasing or refunding a commuter pass. In addition, the server 30 can settle the charge for the commuter pass of the IC card 20, and the server can store information about the commuter pass. Thereby, the user can purchase a commuter pass without holding the IC card 20 over the window processing machine 40 .

[Other embodiments]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. For example, the reservation information may be stored in the data memory 103 of the user equipment 10 . In this case, the user device 10 can display reservation information on the display unit 108 using a predetermined application. Then, the user device 10 can transmit to the server 30 updated reservation information in which information necessary for purchasing or refunding a commuter pass is updated. This makes it possible to further simplify the procedure for purchasing or refunding a commuter pass.
