JP4819435B2 - Game electronic money system and service providing server - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a game electronic money system and a service providing server. Specifically, the present invention relates to a game electronic money system suitable for handling electronic money, and a service providing server.

  Conventionally, there has been a system in which electronic money is temporarily stored in a server when a model of a mobile phone is changed and is returned after the model is changed (for example, see Patent Document 1). Such a system has the advantage that it is not necessary to use up or abandon electronic money when changing models.

In addition, there has been a system for issuing a game recording medium to be used for a game with electronic money and making an additional payment to the game recording medium (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
JP 2004-272717 A (from paragraphs 0074 to 0090, FIGS. 10 to 12) JP 2002-224423 (paragraph 0035, FIG. 10)

  However, when the electronic money charged in the mobile phone is used for a game as in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2, the amount charged to the mobile phone is prevented in order to prevent excessive user consumption. It is desirable to set an upper limit for (the amount that can be stored in the mobile phone). Thereby, in order to perform a large amount of consumption, it is necessary to repeat the operations of consumption and charge. For this reason, since it is inconvenient compared with the case where it charges at a large amount at once and consumes, excessive consumption is suppressed. However, as in Patent Document 1, when electronic money is deposited in the server before the model change, the model change is performed and the electronic money is charged, and when the received electronic money is returned, it is stored in the portable terminal. The amount of electronic money that is spent exceeds a predetermined upper limit. As a result, the problem of promoting excessive consumption by the user may occur.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming electronic money system and a service providing server capable of preventing excessive consumption by a user.

[Second Embodiment]
In the second embodiment, the ball lending process described in FIG. 36 of the first embodiment is changed. Therefore, in the second embodiment, the changed ball lending process is described, and the overlapping description is not repeated.

  The card unit 600A (not shown) of the second embodiment further includes a money handling machine 680 (not shown) in addition to the configuration of the card unit 600 described in FIG. The function of the money handling machine 680 is the same as the function of the money handling machine 380 described in FIG. The money handling machine 680 is connected to the data processing unit 610.

  FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing the flow of the ball lending process executed by the card unit 600A in the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 42, first, in step S610, data processing unit 610 of card unit 600A executes the unauthorized registration process described above with reference to FIG.

  Next, in step S611, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not an insertion signal indicating that the prepaid card 371 has been inserted is received from the card reader / writer 670.

  If it is determined that the insertion signal has been received (YES in step S611), the data processing unit 610 stores the card ID of the inserted prepaid card 371 from the card reader / writer 670 in the storage unit 620 in step S612. It is determined whether or not a fraudulent card signal indicating that the fraudulent card ID is the same is received.

  If it is determined that the card is not an unauthorized card (NO in step S612), data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S690. On the other hand, if it is determined that the card is an unauthorized card (YES in step S612), the data processing unit 610 notifies an error in step S671 that an unauthorized prepaid card has been inserted. The error notification is performed, for example, by blinking an alarm lamp or sounding an alarm buzzer. In step S <b> 672, the data processing unit 610 determines whether there has been a confirmation operation indicating that the error notification has been confirmed by the attendant of the game hall 30. If it is determined that there is no confirmation operation (NO in step S672), data processing unit 610 repeats the process in step S672. On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a confirmation operation (YES in step S672), data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the insertion signal has not been received (NO in step S611), the data processing unit 610 has received a cash insertion signal indicating that cash has been inserted from the money handling machine 680 in step S620. Determine whether or not.

  If it is determined that a cash insertion signal has been received (YES in step S620), in step S681, the data processing unit 610 identifies the card ID of the prepaid card 371 to be issued and the cash amount used for purchase. The transaction information including the information is transmitted to the store server 800.

  Next, in step S682, the data processing unit 610 issues the prepaid card 371 and controls the card reader / writer 670 to deposit the cash input amount indicated by the cash count signal from the money handling machine 680 into the prepaid card 371. To do. Here, after payment, the prepaid card 371 is held in the card unit 600A and is not discharged. Thereafter, the data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S690.

  In step S690, the data processing unit 610 executes a prepaid ball lending process. The prepaid ball lending process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 43 is a flowchart showing the flow of the prepaid ball lending process executed by the card unit 600A in the second embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 43, in step S691, data processing unit 610 determines whether or not a cash insertion signal indicating that cash has been inserted is received from money handling machine 680. If it is determined that the cash input signal has been received (YES in step S691), in step S692, the data processing unit 610 receives the cash count signal from the money handling machine 680, and receives the cash indicated by the cash count signal. The card reader / writer 670 is controlled to add the amount to the prepaid card 371.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the cash input signal has not been received (NO in step S691), or after step S692, the data processing unit 610 starts from step S613 as in the ball lending process of FIG. The processes from step S618 to step S631 to step S633 are executed. After step S633, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to the ball lending process of FIG. 42, which is the calling source process of this prepaid ball lending process.

  Returning to FIG. 42, after the prepaid ball lending process is executed in step S690, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the cash input signal has not been received (NO in step S620), the data processing unit 610 stores the portable use prohibition information in the storage unit 620 in step S622 in the unauthorized registration process of FIG. It is judged whether it was done. That is, it is determined whether or not the use of the value in all mobile phones 100 is prohibited. If it is determined that the use of value in all mobile phones 100 is prohibited (YES in step S622), data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the use of the value in all the mobile phones 100 is not prohibited (NO in step S622), the data processing unit 610 executes processing from step S641 to step S648. Since the processing from step S641 to step S648 is the same as step S341 to step S348 of the ticketing processing described with reference to FIG. 33, description thereof will not be repeated.

  In step S651, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not the remaining value is 0 yen. If it is determined that the value balance is 0 yen (YES in step S651), in step S652, the data processing unit 610 activates an application including the balance shortage information before subtraction similar to step S352 of the ticketing process in FIG. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled to transmit the signal to the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100. Thereafter, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined in step S651 whether the value balance is 0 yen. This is because the value in this embodiment is used only for games and the value is deducted in units of 100 yen, which is the unit of ball rental, so it is possible to lend a ball by determining whether it is 0 yen This is because it can be determined whether or not there is any remaining value. However, if the value can be used in places other than the game hall 30, it is determined in step S651 whether the remaining value is less than 100 yen which is the minimum amount that can be used for ball rental. Also good.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the value balance is not 0 yen (NO in step S651), the data processing unit 610 determines whether the value balance is 1000 yen or more in step S653. If it is determined that the remaining value is 1000 yen or more (YES in step S653), in step S654, the data processing unit 610 sets 1000 yen as the purchase amount. On the other hand, if it is determined that the value balance is less than 1000 yen (NO in step S653), in step S655, the data processing unit 610 sets the value balance to the purchase price.

  In step S653 and step S654, since it is 1000 yen, in step S662, which will be described later, a rental ball equivalent to 1000 yen is paid out. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a rental ball equivalent to 500 yen may be paid out. In this case, in step S653, it is determined whether the value balance is 500 yen or more. In step S654, the data processing unit 610 sets 500 yen as the purchase amount.

  After step S654 or step S655, in step S656, the data processing unit 610 stores the value corresponding to the purchase amount in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 as in step S356 of the ticketing process of FIG. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled so that a subtraction request signal for subtracting from the mobile phone 100 is transmitted.

  In step S657, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not a subtraction end signal has been received from the mobile phone 100 in the same manner as in the ticketing process n step S357 of FIG. If it is determined that the subtraction end signal has not been received (NO in step S657), data processing unit 610 repeats step S657.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the subtraction end signal has been received (YES in step S657), in step S658, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is 0 yen. To do. When it is determined that the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is 0 yen (YES in step S658), the data processing unit 610 subtracts the contactless IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 in step S659. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled so as to transmit an application activation signal including back balance shortage information.

  The balance shortage information after subtraction is information for transmitting to the mobile phone 100 that the amount of value stored in the mobile phone 100 is insufficient after the value is subtracted. The application activation signal is the same as that described in step S359.

  As in step S651, it may be determined in step S658 whether the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is less than 100 yen, which is the minimum amount that can be used for ball rental.

  Further, in addition to step S658, as in step S358 of the ticketing process in FIG. 33, it is determined whether or not the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is equal to or less than a predetermined amount. In the same manner as described above, an application activation signal including the subtraction remaining amount information may be transmitted to the mobile phone 100.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount from the remaining value is not 0 yen (NO in step S658), or after step S659, the data processing unit 610 performs the processing from step S661 to step S663. Execute. Since the processing from step S661 to step S663 is the same as the processing from step S361 to step S363 of the ticketing process in FIG. 33, the description will not be repeated. After step S663, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S610.

  Processing from step S181 to step S185 of the electronic money application 111 executed when the application activation signal transmitted from the card unit 600 is received by the non-contact type IC chip 190 by executing step S659 or step S652 Since has been described with reference to FIG. 8, the description thereof will not be repeated.

Next, main effects obtained by the embodiment described above will be described.
(1-1) The charge request information is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 in step S133 in accordance with the value purchase processing in FIG. 9, so that in step S268, in accordance with the value purchase AP 212 in FIG. The screen information is transmitted from the electronic money management server 200 to the mobile phone 100. From the mobile phone 100 that has received the takeover screen information, in accordance with the web processing of FIG. 7, in step S119, information relating to payment for the purchase of value is transmitted to the financial institution server 500, and the financial institution performs the payment. The uncharged value is written in the storage unit 192 in accordance with the 12 value issue processing.

  As a result, by sending charge request information from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200, it is possible to charge value at any time and anywhere in advance or charge the value without leaving the seat even during a game. The adverse effects on the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 700 and the like installed in the game hall 30 can be reduced.

  (1-2) For example, convenience is improved by using value compared with the case of using cash for a game. However, in this case, since the convenience is improved, there may be a problem that the player gets into the game. Furthermore, when the value can be charged without going to the deposit machine, the convenience is further improved, and the player is more likely to get into the game.

  However, in the present embodiment, since it is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent excessive intrusion into the game.

  Specifically, as described in step S251, the electronic money management server 200 can store the value balance that is the remaining amount of the value stored in the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the charge request information and the mobile phone 100. It is determined whether or not the purchase of the value is permitted based on the portable retention limit that is the upper limit of the value, and the value issuance information is obtained on the condition that it is determined that the purchase is permitted as described in step S277. The charge request information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source.

  For this reason, since it is determined whether or not the purchase of the value is permitted based on the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 and the mobile-holding limit, the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 is limited. can do. As a result, it is possible to prevent the act of accumulating value in the mobile phone 100 within the range of the daily purchase limit on the day when not going to the game hall 30 and consuming at once when going to the game hall. It is possible to prevent the player who uses the mobile phone 100 as the transmission source of the charge request information from being excessively involved in the game.

  (1-3) There is a system in which a value is temporarily stored in a server when a model of a mobile phone is changed, and returned after the model is changed (for example, paragraphs 0074 to 0090 of JP 2004-272717 A, and FIG. 10 to FIG. 12). According to such a mobile phone, it is not necessary to use up or abandon the value when changing models.

  In addition, there is a system for issuing a prepaid card to be used for a game with a value and adding money to the prepaid card (for example, refer to paragraph 0035 and FIG. 10 of JP-A-2002-224423). According to this technology, when a value charged in a mobile phone is used for a game, an upper limit is imposed on the amount charged to the mobile phone (amount that can be stored in the mobile phone) in order to prevent excessive user consumption It is desirable to provide. Thereby, in order to perform a large amount of consumption, it is necessary to repeat the operations of consumption and charge. For this reason, since it is inconvenient compared with the case where it charges at a large amount at once and consumes, excessive consumption is suppressed.

  However, as in the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-272717, the value is stored in the server before the model change, after the model is changed and the value is purchased and issued, the returned value is stored. When received, the value balance stored in the mobile phone exceeds the mobile limit. As a result, the problem of promoting excessive consumption by the user may occur.

  However, since the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the user from consuming excessively.

  Specifically, as described in step S2177, the electronic money management server 200 has the deposit balance and the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the deposit number information registered corresponding to the deposit number included in the deposit number information. On the basis of the total amount of the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 and the mobile holding limit, which is the upper limit of the value that can be stored in the mobile phone 100, and determines whether or not to allow the return of the deposit balance. Then, on the condition that it is determined, as described in steps S2179 and S2272, the balance information and value return information for returning the deposit balance are transmitted to the mobile phone that is the source of the deposit number information.

  For this reason, since it is determined whether to allow the return of the deposit balance based on the total amount of the deposit balance and the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 and the portable retention limit, the deposit balance is returned. Sometimes, the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 can be limited. As a result, after the purchase and issuance of the value is performed with the mobile phone 100 after the model change, the value exceeding the mobile holding limit is stored in the mobile phone 100 by receiving the return of the balance, so that the user can It is possible to prevent excessive consumption.

  (1-4) In addition, as described in step S253, the electronic money management server 200 is a predetermined period managed in step S2706 for the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the charge request information (in the present embodiment, the current day). ) Based on the current day's accumulated amount and the daily purchase limit set in advance for that day's accumulated amount, it is determined whether or not to allow the purchase of value, provided that it is determined to be permitted As described in step S277, the value issuance information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the charge request information.

  For this reason, since it is determined whether or not value purchase is permitted based on the current day accumulated amount and the daily purchase limit amount, the charge amount within a predetermined period can be limited. As a result, it is possible to prevent the player who uses the mobile phone 100 as the transmission source of the charge request information from being excessively involved in the game.

  (1-5) Even if it is determined that the balance transfer request information from the mobile phone 100 has been received in step S2061, if it is determined in step S2064 that there is an uncharged value, the deposit balance is returned. It is possible to prevent the processing to be performed. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the model change of the mobile phone 100 from being performed due to a player's error or the like even though the value that can be added to the mobile phone 100 exists in the electronic money management server 200. .

  (1-6) When electronic money management server 200 determines that there is an uncharged value that is not set to be written in step S2064, it receives balance transfer request information from mobile phone 100 in step S2061. If it is determined that, as described in steps S2065 and S277, the uncharged value can be output to the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the balance transfer request information. For this reason, when depositing the value balance in the electronic money management server 200, an operation for adding the uncharged value can be omitted. As a result, the convenience for the player can be improved.

  (1-7) As described in steps S2179 and S2272 on the condition that it is determined in step S2174 that the mobile terminal information included in the balance transfer request information and the mobile terminal information included in the deposit number information do not match. In addition, deposit balance information and return execution information for returning the value of the deposit balance are output. For this reason, when a model change is performed in which the mobile phone of the balance transfer request information is the same as the mobile phone of the deposit number information, a situation that cannot occur, that is, suspected fraud, etc. Under certain circumstances, it is possible to prevent the return of the value of the deposit balance.

  (2-1) There is a mobile phone in which a charge request amount is input and transmitted to the server, and the electronic money management server transmits the requested amount of value to the mobile phone for charging (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-2004). No. 272560, paragraphs 0125 to 0129, FIG. 11 and FIG. 14). According to such a system, the value can be easily charged. In this case, the user's value consumption is not particularly limited.

  In addition, there is a system for issuing a prepaid card used for a game with a value and making an additional payment to the prepaid card (see, for example, paragraph 0035 and FIG. 10 of JP-A-2002-224423). When the value charged in the mobile phone is used for gaming as in this system, the mobile phone charge amount (amount that can be stored in the mobile phone) or mobile phone is used to prevent excessive user consumption. It is desirable to set an upper limit on the amount that can be charged to the phone per day. Thereby, in order to perform a large amount of consumption, it is necessary to repeat the operations of consumption and charge. For this reason, since it is inconvenient compared with the case where it charges at a large amount at once and consumes, excessive consumption is suppressed.

  On the other hand, when the above-mentioned upper limit is set, when testing a device that uses value to conduct a transaction, the upper limit of the value that can be used with just one mobile phone will be exceeded immediately. There is a problem that it is inconvenient because it is necessary to use a mobile phone. In addition, it is conceivable that the test mobile phone can be charged with value without going through the server. However, in this case, if the mobile phone for test is impersonated, the value can be charged free of charge, which is a problem in terms of security.

  However, in the present embodiment, since it is configured as described above, security is ensured while preventing excessive consumption of the user and eliminating inconvenience when testing the electronic money system 10. be able to.

  Specifically, it has been described in (1-4) that the user's excessive consumption can be prevented.

  In addition, as described in step S253, by performing a system test using a test mobile phone, the current day's accumulated amount, which is the accumulated amount of the value charged in the mobile phone within a predetermined period, and the normal one. Whether or not charging is permitted is determined based on a test daily purchase limit higher than the daily purchase limit.

  For this reason, more test machines 300 can be tested when a test mobile phone is used than when a normal mobile phone is used. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience when the system is tested.

  In addition, as described in step S253, whether or not charging is permitted in the same manner only by changing the daily purchase limit with respect to the accumulated amount on the day between the normal mobile phone and the test mobile phone. judge.

  For this reason, for example, in order to eliminate the restriction on the test mobile phone based on the upper limit, the security hole is less than the system that allows charging without going through the electronic money management server 200. The risk of occurrence can be reduced.

  (2-2) In the present embodiment, since it is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent excessive consumption of the user and eliminate inconvenience when testing the electronic money system 10 while maintaining security. Can be secured.

  Specifically, it has been described in (1-2) that excessive user consumption can be prevented.

  Further, as described in step S251, by performing a system test using a test mobile phone, the value balance, which is the remaining value stored in the mobile phone, and the normal mobile hold limit Whether or not charging is allowed is determined based on the higher test-use portable holding limit.

  For this reason, more test machines 300 can be tested when a test mobile phone is used than when a normal mobile phone is used. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience when the system is tested.

  In addition, as described in step S251, it is determined whether or not charging is permitted in the same manner only by changing the mobile holding limit amount for the value balance between the normal mobile phone and the test mobile phone. .

  For this reason, in order to eliminate the restriction on the test mobile phone based on the upper limit, the system does not pass through the electronic money management server 200 and allows the charge without determining whether to allow the charge. Compared with, it is possible to reduce the risk of security holes.

  (2-3) Further, as described in step S256, a plurality of types of purchase desired amounts depending on whether the mobile phone that is the source of charge request information is a normal mobile phone or a test mobile phone Display amount list information indicating the display amount list that is an option of the charge request information is transmitted to the mobile phone that is the transmission source of the charge request information, and multiple types of purchase desired amount options indicated by the transmitted display amount list information are display units of the mobile phone Is displayed on the display.

  Therefore, it is possible to provide the user with a choice of an appropriate purchase amount even when the mobile holding limit or the daily purchase limit is changed, and whether the mobile phone from which the charge request information is transmitted is for normal use. Appropriate options for the desired purchase amount can be applied depending on whether it is for testing.

  (2-4) In addition, as described in steps S256 and S139, FIG. 26B, and FIG. 27A, the purchase amount less than the purchaseable amount calculated in step S255 among a plurality of types of purchase desired amounts. It is possible to make the user recognize that the option of the desired amount can be specified. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from performing unnecessary operations.

  (2-5) Further, as described in step S345 and step S346, in the event that the test mobile phone is stolen, the use of the stolen test mobile phone is not permitted. Thus, it is possible to prevent the prepaid card 371 from being issued using the value stored in the stolen mobile phone. For this reason, when the test mobile phone is stolen, the use of the stolen test mobile phone can be prevented.

  (3-1) Some devices communicate with an electronic money terminal or server through a mobile phone incorporating a non-contact IC chip, and perform addition and subtraction of values (for example, paragraph 0016 of JP-A-2005-38209, (See paragraphs 0017, 0049 to 0055, 0111 to 0114, 0136, and 0138). In the application unit of the mobile phone, a terminal ID for specifying an electronic money terminal to be settled, a business operator code, an operation parameter, and an operation file are stored in association with each other.

  When the mobile phone is used for payment with an electronic money terminal, a terminal ID and a payment amount value are subtracted from the electronic money terminal, a subtraction completion notification is transmitted, and an operator code is sent from the terminal ID. , An operation parameter and an operation file are specified, and a predetermined operation is executed using the operation file.

  In addition, if the log confirmation unit is provided in the mobile phone and the confirmation amount is set in advance in the application unit, the log confirmation unit periodically checks the remaining amount of value, and if the confirmation amount falls below the confirmation amount, the application unit The user is prompted to charge the electronic money by issuing an alarm with an image or sound as a predetermined operation using the operation file.

  However, according to the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-38209, the operation file that can be executed by the mobile phone is one file for each business operator code corresponding to the terminal ID, and thus the operation that is executed. Is limited to an operation that is executed each time a settlement process with an electronic money terminal is performed.

  In addition, since the mobile phone actively executes the operation file, the lack of value balance is confirmed as described above. For this reason, even if the value balance exceeds the amount of confirmation, there is a problem in that useless processing of confirming the value balance at a predetermined regular interval occurs.

  In addition, even if the balance of the value is less than the confirmation amount, if the determined regular interval is a long interval (for example, 1 hour), before the user is prompted to charge the value, The original purpose of the technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-38209 is to execute a process in which the user recognizes a shortage of balance when the value is subtracted by the server and prompts the user to charge. Can not be achieved.

  For this reason, it is necessary to shorten the periodic interval for checking the balance of the value (for example, 1 minute or 30 seconds) in order to prompt charging of the value before the user recognizes that the balance is insufficient. is there. For this reason, a wasteful process of checking the value balance must be frequently executed, which is inefficient and affects the duration of the battery of the mobile phone.

  However, since the present embodiment is configured as described above, the user can be efficiently and accurately recognized that the remaining amount of value is small.

  Specifically, the value balance is transmitted to the ticket vending machine 300 or the card unit 600A by the function of the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100. Further, as described in step S351, it is determined that the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 by the ticket vending machine 300 is insufficient for the purchase amount of the prepaid card 371, and as described in step S352, before subtraction. Balance shortage information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. Further, as described in step S651 and step S658, it is determined that the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 by the card unit 600A is insufficient for the minimum amount that can be lent (in this embodiment, It is determined whether or not the value balance is 0 yen. If the value can be used outside the amusement hall 30, it is determined whether or not the value balance is less than 100 yen, which is the minimum amount that can be lent to a ball), and step S652 As described in step S659, the balance shortage information before subtraction or the balance shortage information after subtraction is transmitted to the mobile phone 100, respectively. Then, as described in step S184, the mobile phone 100 notifies that the value balance is insufficient. That is, when the value is used, the mobile phone 100 is passively notified that the value balance is insufficient. As a result, it is possible to make the user recognize efficiently and accurately that the value balance is small.

  (3-2) Further, the value balance is transmitted to the ticket vending machine 300 by the function of the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100, and is stored in the mobile phone 100 by the ticket vending machine 300 as described in step S358. It is determined that the amount obtained by subtracting the purchase amount of the prepaid card 371 from the value balance is equal to or less than the predetermined amount, and as described in step S359, the post-subtraction balance information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100, as described in step S185. In addition, the mobile phone 100 notifies that the value balance is equal to or less than a predetermined amount. That is, when the value is used, the mobile phone 100 is passively notified that the value balance is equal to or less than the predetermined amount. As a result, it is possible to make the user recognize efficiently and accurately that the value balance is small.

  (3-3) Further, the value purchase process is executed when the balance shortage information before subtraction, the balance shortage information after subtraction, or the balance shortage information after subtraction is received in any of steps S181 to S183, As described in step S133, since the charge request information is automatically transmitted after the execution of the value purchase process, the user does not have to actively execute the value purchase process. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from having to perform the process of executing value purchase processing. Further, since the value purchase process is immediately executed, the time required for the value purchase is shortened, and the operating rate of the gaming machine such as the pachinko gaming machine 700 and the slot machine in the game hall 30 can be improved.

  (3-4) Further, as the value purchase process, the option of the desired purchase price is displayed in step S139, and the selection of the desired purchase price is accepted in step S141. Therefore, the user actively executes the process at the time of value purchase. It is not necessary to display the option of the desired purchase amount. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from having to execute the process at the time of value purchase and display the option of the desired purchase amount. In addition, since the value purchase process is immediately executed and options for the desired purchase amount are displayed, the time required for the value purchase is shortened, and the operation rate of gaming machines such as pachinko gaming machines 700 and slot machines in the game hall 30 is reduced. Can be improved.

  (3-5) Further, as described in step S253, the electronic money management server 200 charges the value based on the current day accumulated amount managed for each mobile phone 100 and the daily purchase limit amount. The mobile phone 100 executes value purchase processing on the condition that it is determined whether to permit or not, and the electronic money management server 200 stores the value issuance information as described in step S277. Transmit to mobile phone 100. For this reason, since it is determined whether or not charging is allowed based on the current day accumulated amount and the daily purchase limit amount, the purchase amount of the value within a predetermined period can be limited. As a result, excessive purchase of value can be stopped, and excessive penetration into the game of the user of the mobile phone 100 can be prevented.

  (3-6) In addition, the user is made aware that it is possible to specify an option within the range of the purchaseable amount that is the difference between the daily purchase limit and the accumulated amount on the day among the plurality of types of purchase desired amount options. be able to. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the user from performing unnecessary operations.

Next, a modification of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the electronic money management server 200 determines that the payment for the value purchase is completed, on the condition that the consumption breaking news is received from the payment server 280 in step S269, and the step The value issuing information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in S277.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the value issuance information may be transmitted to the mobile phone 100 so that the value can be purchased by credit card credit and the actual settlement is not completed.

  (2) In the present embodiment, transaction information is transmitted from the ticket vending machine 300 to the electronic money management server 200 via the store server 800 every predetermined time. For this reason, the value balance of the mobile phone 100 managed by the electronic money management server 200 is not always accurate. Therefore, when value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200, the value balance is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 in step S1602. The electronic money management server 200 stores the value balance transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S2163 as a deposit balance.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. When value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 so that transaction information is transmitted from the ticket vending machine 300 to the electronic money management server 200 in real time, the electronic money management is performed. The value balance of the mobile phone 100 managed by the server 200 may be stored as a deposit balance. In this case, the balance return request information transmitted in step S1702 may not include the value balance.

  (3) In the present embodiment, balance return request information not including a deposit number is transmitted in step S1702, and the deposit number is transmitted in step S1706. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the balance request information including the deposit number may be transmitted in step S1706 without transmitting the balance return request information in step S1702.

  (4) In the present embodiment, if there is an uncharged value when the value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200 (YES in step S2064), the uncharged value is once carried by the mobile phone. After the phone 100 is charged, the value balance of the mobile phone 100 is stored as a deposit balance.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the value is deposited from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200, the electronic money management server 200 adds the value balance received from the mobile phone 100 and the amount of uncharged value. Then, the added amount may be stored as a deposit balance.

  (5) In the above-described embodiment, if it is determined in step S2177 that the sum of the value balance and the deposit balance is larger than the portable retention limit, a portable retention limit return impossible screen is displayed in step S2178. Sent to not return the deposit balance. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is possible to return the amount of the balance to be added to the value balance that does not exceed the carry-on retention limit amount and set the remaining amount as the uncharged value.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, in step S235 and step S2703, the number of times that the storage area for the electronic money game use service is deleted is counted by the uncharge deletion counter without purchasing value once. To manage whether the initial registration fee has been settled. Then, when it is determined in step S216 that the count value of the uncharge deletion counter has reached a predetermined number of times, the area securing information is not transmitted in step S236.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. Information indicating whether or not the initial registration fee has been settled is managed, and the initial registration fee of the mobile phone of the registration request information transmission source may be unsettled by the information. On the condition that it is shown, transmission of area securing information to the mobile phone may be prohibited.

  (7) In the embodiment described above, the electronic money management server 200 manages the accumulated amount on the day, and the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 depending on whether the total with the minimum purchase amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount. The upper limit judgment of was performed.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and an upper limit determination is made as to whether or not the sum of the accepted amount of accepted charge amount and the accumulated amount on the day is equal to or greater than a predetermined amount by executing the electronic money application 111 by the mobile phone 100. May be performed. In this case, when the electronic money application is executed by the mobile phone 100, the amount that can be stored on the day until the upper limit of the chargeable amount on the day is reached, and the mobile phone 100 that is stored until the upper limit of the value balance is reached. When a possible portable storage storable amount is calculated and the desired charge amount is displayed, an amount less than the storable storable amount on the day and a portable storage storable amount may be displayed.

  (8) Backing up the value balance stored in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 when the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 is charged and when the value subtraction is completed. May be stored in the storage unit 120.

  Further, backup may be performed when the value is charged or when the subtraction of the value is completed.

  Further, backup may be performed when the mobile phone 100 receives an input of a backup operation from the user.

  Alternatively, the backup may be performed every time a predetermined period (for example, 3 hours, 1 day, etc.) has elapsed since the previous backup was performed by the mobile phone 100.

  (9) In the above-described embodiment, the integrated value of the value purchased on the day is integrated as the integrated value on the day. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the accumulated amount of value purchased during a predetermined period (for example, a period from 6 am to 6 am on the next day) may be accumulated.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, processing for fraud is performed by the remaining amount management AP 214 in FIG. 38 according to the frequency of fraud for each member ID. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and processing for fraud may be performed according to the frequency of the total number of frauds in all mobile phones.

  (11) As described in step S281, the occurrence of an illegal transaction is determined based on whether or not the transaction amount exceeds the accumulated charge amount. If there is an unauthorized transaction exceeding the accumulated charge amount, the transaction is described in step S284. As described above, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of a prepaid card 371 purchased by an unauthorized mobile phone 100 of the mobile ID of the member ID that performed the illegal transaction may be used.

  In addition, as described in step S281, the occurrence of fraudulent transactions is determined based on whether or not the transaction amount exceeds the accumulated charge amount. If there is an unauthorized transaction that exceeds the accumulated charge amount, it is described in step S286. As described above, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of the unauthorized mobile phone 100 value of the mobile ID of the member ID that performed the illegal transaction may be used.

  In addition, as described in step S281, the occurrence of fraudulent transactions is determined based on whether or not the transaction amount exceeds the accumulated charge amount. If there is an unauthorized transaction that exceeds the accumulated charge amount, it is described in step S289. Thus, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of value on all mobile phones in a hall (amusement hall) where an illegal transaction has occurred may be used.

  (12) In the embodiment described above, based on the portable use prohibition information and the illegal terminal storage information transmitted from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 via the store server 800, the data processing unit 310 of the ticket vending machine 300. Stores the portable use prohibition information and the illegal terminal information in the storage unit 320. In the ticket vending machine 300, the portable ID of the mobile phone 100 used to purchase the prepaid card 371 is not the unauthorized terminal information stored in the storage unit 310, or the portable use prohibition information is stored in the storage unit 310. It is judged whether or not it is stored, and when it is memorized, the transaction is disabled. That is, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which it is determined whether or not the ticket vending machine 300 is an illegal transaction, and control is performed to disable the transaction when it is determined to be an illegal transaction has been described.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the store server 800 determines whether or not the transaction is fraudulent. When the fraudulent transaction is determined, the store server 800 transmits a transaction impossibility signal indicating that the transaction is impossible to the ticket vending machine 300, When the ticket vending machine 300 receives a transaction impossible signal, control may be performed to disable the transaction. For example, the data processing unit of the store server 800 stores portable use prohibition information and unauthorized terminal storage information from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 in the storage unit of the store server 800. On the other hand, every time a transaction is performed, the data processing unit 310 of the ticket vending machine 300 transmits the portable ID of the mobile phone 100 used for the transaction to the store server 800. The data processing unit of the store server 800 determines whether the transmitted mobile ID is not the illegal terminal information stored in the storage unit or whether the mobile use prohibition information is stored in the storage unit, and is stored. A transaction impossible signal indicating that the transaction is disabled when the customer is present is transmitted to the ticket vending machine 300. The data processing unit 310 of the ticket vending machine 300 controls to disable the transaction based on the transaction disable signal.

  Further, based on the unauthorized medium information transmitted from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 to the store server 800, the data processing unit of the store server 800 stores a storage unit corresponding to the mobile ID included in the unauthorized medium information. Is transmitted to the card unit 600 as an unauthorized card ID and stored in the storage unit 620 of the card unit 600. Then, in the card unit 600, it is determined whether or not the card ID of the prepaid card used for ball rental is an illegal card ID stored in the storage unit 620, and if the card ID is an illegal card ID, the ball rental is disabled. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the card unit 600 determines whether or not the transaction is an illegal transaction, and the example of performing the control to disable the ball lending when it is determined that the transaction is an illegal transaction has been described.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the store server 800 determines whether or not the transaction is an illegal transaction, and when it is determined that the transaction is an illegal transaction, a non-ball rental signal indicating that the ball cannot be borrowed is transmitted to the card unit 600. Then, when the card unit 600 receives a ball lending impossible signal, control to disable ball lending may be performed. For example, the data processing unit of the store server 800 is a storage unit corresponding to the mobile ID included in the unauthorized medium information based on the unauthorized medium information transmitted from the balance management AP 214 of the electronic money management server 200 to the store server 800. Is stored in the storage unit of the store server 800 as an illegal card ID. On the other hand, the data processing unit 610 of the card unit 600 transmits the card ID of the prepaid card used for ball lending to the store server 800 every time ball lending is performed. The data processing unit of the store server 800 determines whether or not the transmitted card ID is an unauthorized card ID stored in the storage unit, and indicates that the ball cannot be loaned when stored. A signal is transmitted to the card unit 600. The data processing unit 610 of the card unit 600 performs control to disable ball lending based on the ball lend-unavailable signal.

  (13) In the embodiment described above, the ticket vending machine 300 is provided with the chip reader / writer capable of communicating with the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100, and the ticket is issued using the value of the mobile phone 100. An example in which processing is performed and the prepaid card 371 can be purchased has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the card unit 600 that executes the ball lending process is also provided with a chip reader / writer as in the ticket vending machine 300, performs the ball lending process using the value of the mobile phone 100, and You may make it perform payout. For example, if NO is determined in step S611, it is determined whether or not the value balance is read from the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 by the chip reader / writer. A process similar to the process may be executed. In this case, in step S616, a withdrawal request signal including subtraction amount information indicating that a value equivalent to a predetermined loan is subtracted and electronic money identification information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. Then, the process of step S618 may be performed on the condition that the subtraction end signal indicating that the value subtraction has been completed is received from the mobile phone 100. Further, in order to prevent fraudulent transactions, the same processing as in step S310 is performed after step S600, and it is determined that the balance of value is read from the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 by the chip reader / writer. However, as in steps S322 and S326, when the use of the value in all mobile phones 100 is prohibited, or when the mobile ID of the mobile phone 100 is an illegal mobile phone 100 mobile ID. The ball lending process may be disabled.
