Description

The present invention is, for example, a portable telephone for use in an information processing system for collection of the service and its price for the use of transport.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a remarkable spread of equipment that collects goods and services, such as vending machines and POS (Point of Sales) registers, and the like.
However, a problem common to these devices is the complexity of cash processing. In other words, since a merchant that provides goods or services via these devices performs cash processing, it requires daily management for change preparation, cash adjustment, crime prevention, and the costs associated therewith. In addition, for manufacturers who manufacture these devices, there is a manufacturing cost load for installing the cash processing mechanism in the device, which increases the price of the device. The price of goods or services is reflected in the equipment costs of the service provider, and the consumer's burden is eventually increased.

  Therefore, in order to solve such problems related to cash processing, the following two methods are now being popularized. In other words, the payment by the consumer can be made from a cash prepayment method using a prepaid card, a credit card, a bank card, etc., and the payment is made from a bank account etc. via an online line connected to the device. This is an automatic withdrawal method.

The above two methods have achieved their original purpose because they do not require cash processing on the equipment side, but it has recently become clear that there are significant problems in disseminating these methods. I came.
First, with regard to the cash prepayment method, the prepaid card that stores the prepaid money differs depending on the business that provides goods or services (hereinafter sometimes referred to as sellers) and cannot be used mutually. Therefore, the consumer has to purchase a plurality of prepaid cards for each seller in advance.
Further, there is a problem that a prepaid card of a merchant that is less used by consumers has no merit to purchase, and therefore goods or services are purchased with cash.
Thus, prepaid cards tend to be distributed, and there is a problem that various capital investments are difficult to concentrate.

  In addition, with regard to the automatic withdrawal method from bank accounts, etc., the cash advance payment method described above is also possible because it can be expanded laterally by an online settlement system between financial institutions using cards based on globally standardized standards. In this case, the problem has been solved, but there are some problems that become obstacles when trying to spread it further.

That is, as the first problem, an online line is required for each device, and considering the number of devices such as vending machines and POS registers that exist in the world, astronomical capital investment is required. It is a point to do.
Furthermore, the second problem is that the online line connected to each of these devices can only be used for the purpose of collecting money, and the investment efficiency is extremely low for the seller who carries out capital investment. is there.
Considering such huge capital investment and poor investment efficiency, it is impossible from an economic viewpoint to widely spread automatic withdrawal methods from bank accounts and the like.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile phone used in an information processing system that solves problems related to capital investment and collects a service that can be widely spread and its price.

The mobile phone of the present invention includes a first transmission means for wirelessly transmitting a ticket gate request to an automatic ticket gate apparatus at the boarding station at a boarding station, and a ticket gate request wirelessly transmitted by the first transmission means. First receiving means for receiving the boarding station code wirelessly transmitted from the automatic ticket gate at the boarding station, storage means for storing the boarding station code received by the first receiving means, and the storage means A reading means for reading the boarding station code stored in this way, and a ticketing request including the boarding station code read by the reading means by wirelessly transmitting a ticketing request to the automatic ticketing device at the getting-off station at the getting-off station. A second transmission means for wirelessly transmitting information using a radio wave having a frequency band different from the frequency band of the radio wave used for the call of the mobile phone; and a ticket gate including a boarding station code wirelessly transmitted by the second transmission means request Second receiving means and the transaction engine of the user transaction information based on the received freight information by the second receiving means for receiving freight information wirelessly transmitted from the automatic ticket gate apparatus of the detraining station based on broadcast radio transmission, and receives the transaction completion information wirelessly transmitted from the transaction engine based on the transaction information, and the transaction completion information; and a clearing means for storing in the memory means with respect to.

The present invention can provide a mobile telephone in which to solve the problems related to capital expenditure, it is used in an information processing system that performs widely capable of service and the collection of its price.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Comes to occur. Therefore, in such a case, the transaction information cannot be transmitted from the mobile phone 3 to the transaction bank 6 and the transaction transaction cannot be settled.

  Further, when the transaction information is transmitted from the mobile phone 3 to the transaction bank 6 through the radio base station 4 and the telephone line network 5, there may be a certain delay time depending on the communication amount and the like. As a result, it takes a time longer than a predetermined allowable time until the transaction completion information is transmitted from the transaction bank 6 to the mobile phone 3 after the settlement is completed.

  However, even in such a case, the information processing system according to the present embodiment can cope. That is, in this case, when the transaction information cannot be transmitted to the transaction bank 6, or when the transaction completion information is not transmitted from the transaction bank 6 even after a predetermined time since the transaction information is transmitted from the mobile phone 3, The mobile phone 3 could be connected to the radio base station 4 based on the unsettled information recorded in the memory in the IC card P inserted into the mobile phone 3 by performing a predetermined operation again. Sometimes, the transaction information read from the IC card P is transmitted to the transaction bank 6. In this way, when the transaction bank 6 completes the settlement of the sales transaction and the transaction completion information is transmitted, the unsettled information recorded on the IC card P is changed to the transaction completion information and recorded. It will be.

  FIG. 2 schematically shows a specific configuration of an information processing system to which the mobile phone according to the present embodiment is applied.

The frequency band for communication between the vending machine 1 and the mobile phone 3 is preferably different from the frequency band for communication between the mobile phone 3 and the radio base station 4. In addition, since communication between the cellular phone 3 and the vending machine 1 requires very high security, an encryption algorithm that is as complex as possible is used for encryption processing in the encryption / decryption circuits 1c and 3b. It is preferable to use it.

  Next, the processing operation of the article purchase transaction in the information processing system will be described. When using the vending machine 1, in the vicinity of the vending machine 1, the IC card P possessed by the user is first inserted into the IC card insertion slot of the mobile phone 3, and the user presses the settlement button 3c. . Then, the purchase request information requesting to start the purchase of the article from the vending machine 1 is first subjected to encryption processing by the encryption / decryption circuit 3b, modulated by the transmission / reception circuit 3a, and automatically performed by wireless communication. It is transmitted to the transmission / reception circuit 1b of the vending machine 1.

  The transmission / reception circuit 1b of the vending machine 1 demodulates the received radio wave, and the purchase request information obtained as a result is decrypted by the encryption / decryption circuit 1c and notified to the control unit 1d.

  The control unit 1d controls the article sales mechanism 1e to start its operation, and the user presses a predetermined button of the vending machine 1 or from the operation unit 3f of the mobile phone 3. When the article is selected by the operation of the above, the price information including the price of the article and information about the merchant of the article is sent to the encryption / decryption circuit 1c under the control of the control unit 1d. Thus, the encryption processing is performed, modulated by the transmission / reception circuit 1b, and transmitted to the mobile phone 3 by wireless communication.

  In the mobile phone 3, the received radio wave is demodulated by the transmission / reception circuit 3 a, the price information obtained as a result is decrypted by the encryption / decryption circuit 3 b, and is displayed via the bus 3 l under the control of the CPU 3 j. The price of goods is displayed based on the price information.

  The user confirms the price of the article displayed on the display unit 3d, and when it is accepted, presses the settlement button 3c to approve the execution of the transaction. Then, the mobile phone 3 records the transaction information based on the price information as unsettled information in the memory P2 of the IC card P by the card reader / writer unit 3e, and then notifies that the execution of the transaction is approved. As described above, the transaction approval information is transmitted to the vending machine 1 via the encryption / decryption circuit 3b and the transmission / reception circuit 3a.

  In the vending machine 1, when the transaction approval information is received as described above, the article sales mechanism 1e delivers the article based on the control by the control unit 1d. When the above processing is output in the vending machine 1, the end notification is transmitted to the mobile phone 3 as described above, and the operation of the vending machine 1 ends.

  On the other hand, as described above, the mobile phone 3 receives the price information from the vending machine 1 and records the transaction information based on the price information on the IC card P as unsettled information whose price has not been paid. The transaction information is transmitted to the transaction bank 6 specified based on the transaction bank information read from the IC card P by the card reader / writer unit 3e.

  That is, the transaction information is modulated by the radio wave transmission / reception circuit 3g and transmitted using the radio wave from the antenna 3k. When the radio base station 4 receives the radio wave via the antenna 4k, it connects to the telephone line network 5, Notify the transaction bank 6 of transaction information. The transaction information includes information such as the identification number of the owner of the IC card read from the IC card P, the price of the article transmitted from the vending machine 1, and the like.

  The transaction bank 6 performs a predetermined settlement process based on the transaction information transmitted from the mobile phone 3, and when the process is completed, the transaction is completed to the mobile phone 3 via the telephone network 5 and the wireless base station 4. Information is sent.

  In the mobile phone 3, when the transaction completion information transmitted by wireless communication is received by the antenna 3k, it is demodulated by the radio wave transmission / reception circuit 3g, and the transaction completion information obtained as a result is transmitted via the bus 3l under the control of the CPU 3j. The unsettled information is transmitted to the card reader / writer unit 3e, overwritten on the unsettled information already recorded in the memory P2 of the IC card P, and the unsettled information is changed to the transaction completion information.

  The above is the processing operation of the article purchase transaction when communication is normally performed with the vending machine 1, the mobile phone 3, and the transaction bank 6.

  Next, even if a predetermined time elapses after the transaction information is transmitted from the mobile phone 3 to the transaction bank 6, the purchase transaction of the article when the transaction completion information from the transaction bank 6 cannot be received by the mobile phone 3. The processing operation will be described.

  The user approves the price of the goods, and the settlement button 3c is pressed, the goods are delivered in the vending machine 1 and the operation of the vending machine 1 is finished. This is the same as described above until the transaction information based on the price information is recorded in the IC card P as unsettled information.

  The mobile phone 3 transmits the transaction information to the transaction bank 6 via the radio base station 4 and the telephone network 5, and no transaction completion information is sent from the transaction bank 6 even if a predetermined time has elapsed from that point. In this case, the transaction information at that time remains unsettled information including information indicating that the transaction bank 6 has not settled in the memory P2 of the IC card P (the price has not been paid).

  Thereafter, when communication is possible between the mobile phone 3 and the wireless base station 4, the telephone line network 5, and the transaction bank 6, the mobile phone 3 with the IC card P inserted therein is again connected as described above. For example, when the settlement button 3c is pressed, all the unsettled information stored in the memory P2 of the IC card P is transmitted to the bank 6 at that time. The transaction bank 6 performs a predetermined settlement process, and when the process is completed, transaction completion information is transmitted to the mobile phone 3 via the telephone network 5 and the wireless base station 4. Then, in the cellular phone 3, in response to the received transaction completion information, the card reader / writer unit 3e rewrites the unsettled information written in the memory P2 of the IC card P with the transaction completion information.

Further, the information processing system according to the present embodiment can cope with a case where the IC card P is an unauthorized use card due to theft or the like.
That is, as a protection measure for the user, for example, the identification number unique to the theft card (the identification number of the holder of the card) is registered in advance in the transaction bank 6, and transaction information is transmitted from the mobile phone 3. When the transaction bank 6 first compares the unique identification number of the IC card P included in the transaction information with the identification number registered as the theft card, and if there is a match, the IC card Use prohibition information for notifying use prohibition of P is transmitted to the mobile phone 3. In the mobile phone 3 that has received the use prohibition information, “unusable” is recorded in the memory P2 of the IC card P, and a measure for prohibiting subsequent use is taken.

  Furthermore, the information processing system according to the present embodiment can also display the purchase history so far based on various information recorded in the memory P2 of the IC card P. That is, the unsettled information and transaction completion information recorded in the memory P2 are read from the IC card P by the card reader / writer unit 3e by inputting a predetermined code from the operation unit 3f, for example, via the bus 3l. The information is transmitted to the display unit 3d, and for each transaction, the transaction status, that is, the seller, purchase item, price, date, time, and the like are displayed as a purchase history.

  The case of the vending machine 1 has been described above. Next, as an example of providing a service instead of the vending machine 1 that provides the article, for example, when the vending machine 2 is used, FIG.

Then, the cellular phone 3 reads the boarding station code recorded on the IC card P, and the ticket gate request information for requesting the automatic ticket gate 2 including the boarding station code is sent to the automatic ticket gate device 2 in the same manner as described in FIG. It is transmitted to the automatic ticket gate 2 as a radio wave.

  In the automatic ticket gate device 2, the received radio wave is demodulated by the transmission / reception circuit 2b, the ticket gate request information obtained as a result is transmitted to the encryption / decryption circuit 2c, where decryption processing is performed, and further, the control unit 2e Based on the control, the processing for calculating the fare from the boarding station to the getting-off station is performed based on the information such as the fare stored in the memory 2d. Information such as the calculated fare is first subjected to encryption processing by the encryption / decryption circuit 2c as fare information, and then transmitted to the mobile phone 3 by wireless communication in the transmission / reception circuit 2b.

  In the mobile phone 3, when the fare information from the automatic ticket gate 2 is received by the transmission / reception circuit 3a, it is stored in the memory P2 of the IC card P as unsettled information as described above.

  The following operation is the same as that of the vending machine 1 described above.

  As described above, according to the above embodiment, when a user purchases an article from the vending machine 1, at least the identification number for recognizing the user and the price paid by the owner. Insert the IC card P storing the information of the financial institution executing the settlement process into the mobile phone 3 possessed by the user, press the settlement button 3c, and make a purchase request for the article to the vending machine 1, When the user selects an article for the vending machine 1, the price information including the price of the article is transmitted to the mobile phone 3, and the display unit 3d of the mobile phone 3 stores the price of the article based on the price information. The price is displayed, and the user confirms the price of the article displayed on the display unit 3d. When the user confirms the price, the user presses the settlement button 3c and approves the execution of the transaction. Transaction information based on pending Information is recorded on the IC card P, and transaction approval information is transmitted to the vending machine 1. In the vending machine 1, the selected article is delivered, and the operation of the vending machine 1 is terminated. The mobile phone 3 receives the price information from the vending machine 1, records the transaction information based on the price information on the IC card P as unsettled information, and reads it from the IC card P by the card reader / writer unit 3e. The transaction information is transmitted to the transaction bank 6 specified based on the transaction bank information, and the transaction bank 6 performs a predetermined settlement process. When the process is completed, the telephone network 5 and the wireless base station 4 The transaction completion information is transmitted to the mobile phone 3 via the mobile phone 3 and is overwritten on the unsettled information already recorded on the IC card P. To solve the problems, it can provide cellular telephone of an information processing system that performs widely capable article and a collection of the proceeds is.

  In addition, when the user uses the automatic ticket gate device 2, at the automatic ticket gate of the boarding station, at least the identification number for recognizing the user, the financial institution executing the payment processing of the price paid by the owner When the IC card P storing the information is inserted into the mobile phone 3 possessed by the user and the settlement button 3c is pressed to make a ticket check request to the automatic ticket checker 2, the automatic ticket checker 2 sends it to the mobile phone 3. The boarding station code is transmitted, and the mobile phone 3 records the boarding station code on the IC card P. At the automatic ticket gate at the getting-off station, the IC card P is inserted into the mobile phone 3 again and the settlement button 3c is pressed. When the ticket gate request is made and the boarding station code is transmitted, the automatic ticket gate device 2 receives the boarding station code and information on the fare recorded in the memory 2d of the automatic ticket gate device 2 from the boarding station. Calculate the fare to the car station, send the calculated fare as fare information to the mobile phone 3, and the mobile phone 3 records transaction information based on the received fare information on the IC card P as unsettled information, Further, the transaction information is transmitted to the transaction bank 6 specified based on the transaction bank information read from the IC card P by the card reader / writer unit 3e, and the transaction bank 6 performs a predetermined settlement process. Is completed, the transaction completion information is transmitted to the mobile phone 3 via the telephone network 5 and the wireless base station 4, and the unsettled information already recorded on the IC card P is overwritten, and the unsettled information is completed. By changing to information, it is possible to provide a mobile phone of an information processing system that solves problems related to capital investment and collects a service that can be widely spread and its price.

  In addition, every time a user purchases goods / services from the vending machine 1 and the automatic ticket gate 2, unsettled information is recorded on the IC card P inserted into the mobile phone 3, and transactions are made from the mobile phone 3 to the bank 6. If transaction completion information is not transmitted from the transaction bank 6 even after a predetermined time has passed since the information was transmitted, based on the unsettled information recorded in the memory in the IC card P inserted in the mobile phone 3 When the mobile phone 3 is connected to the radio base station 4, the transaction information recorded as unsettled information on the IC card P is read again and transmitted to the transaction bank 6. When the transaction completion information is transmitted, the unsettled information recorded on the IC card P is changed to the transaction completion information, so that, for example, the automatic ticket gate 2 is installed at the ticket gate of the subway. Even when communication between the mobile phone 3 and the radio base station 4 cannot be normally performed or when a delay time more than necessary occurs in a response of communication between the mobile phone 3 and the radio base station 4. Thus, it is possible to reliably perform the settlement process at the transaction bank 6 without any practical problem.

  Further, based on the unsettled information recorded on the IC card P, it is also possible to perform control such that when the unpaid money reaches a predetermined amount, it is collectively transmitted to the bank 6. In this case, every time a predetermined operation for transmitting the unsettled information is performed, the CPU 3j checks the contents of the unsettled information recorded on the IC card P, and a predetermined amount for which the unpaid price is determined in advance.
