(For example, in the case of NO in step S2064), the custody process is performed.

  According to such a configuration, when the charge providing information is transmitted from the mobile terminal to the service providing server for the first time after the area construction information is output to the requesting mobile terminal, the charge consideration and Electronic money information is output on condition that the processing for settlement for the settlement of the total amount with the area construction consideration is completed. That is, when electronic money information is charged for the first time, settlement processing for settlement of area construction consideration is performed together with the charge consideration.

  On the other hand, the service providing server prohibits the output of the area construction information on condition that the number of times of construction corresponding to the registration request information from the mobile terminal has reached a predetermined number. As a result, the construction request for the electronic money service provision area is not transmitted to the service provision area management server of the service provision area management organization, so that the area provision fee is not charged by the service provision area management server.

For this reason, while being able to reduce the user's operational burden for settlement of area construction consideration, the processing for settlement that occurs by repeatedly constructing the area for providing electronic money service without charging electronic money information reducing the realm construction consideration of unfinished, it is possible to reduce the damage caused i.e. the electronic money service providers.

  Whether the service providing server allows charging of electronic money information based on the remaining amount of electronic money information stored in the requesting mobile terminal and the upper limit of electronic money information that can be stored in the mobile terminal The electronic money information is transmitted to the requesting mobile terminal on the condition that it is determined that it is acceptable. For this reason, since it is determined whether charging is permitted based on the remaining amount and the upper limit amount of electronic money information stored in the mobile terminal, the remaining amount of electronic money information stored in the mobile terminal is limited. be able to. As a result, since excessive use of electronic money information that repeats charging and transaction processing within a predetermined period can be prevented, excessive consumption by the user can be further prevented.

The service providing server also stores the balance remaining registered corresponding to the deposit balance identification information included in the deposit balance return request information and the electronic money information stored in the portable terminal that is the deposit balance return request information transmission source. Based on the total amount of the remaining amount and the upper limit of electronic money information that can be stored in the mobile terminal, it is determined whether to allow the return of the remaining amount, and if the remaining amount is determined to be permitted It transmits to the portable terminal of the balance amount return request information transmission source. For this reason, whether or not to allow the return of the deposit balance is determined based on the total amount of the deposit balance and the balance of the electronic money information stored in the mobile terminal and the upper limit amount. In addition, the remaining amount of electronic money information that can be stored in the mobile terminal can be limited. As a result, the electronic money information exceeding the upper limit amount is stored in the mobile terminal by receiving the return of the remaining balance after charging with the mobile terminal after the model change, so that the user consumes excessively This can be prevented.
In addition, according to such a configuration, even when the custody request information is received from the mobile terminal, the custody process is performed when the specifying information that has not been updated to the transmitted state is registered.

If it is determined that the takeover screen information has been received (YES in step S117), in step S118, the data processing unit 110 notifies the mobile banking of the transition to mobile banking based on the takeover screen information. A confirmation screen is displayed on the display unit 140, and in step S118a, mobile banking processing for executing settlement processing for value purchase in mobile banking is executed. In the mobile banking process, information related to payment for value purchase is transmitted to the financial institution server 500 according to the operation, and when the payment is completed, the web process at the time of takeover is completed. Specifically, access is made to the Internet banking system of the financial institution server indicated by the URL included in the takeover screen information, and it is received in step S143 by logging in to the mobile banking account registered in advance and performing the transfer process. The settlement request for the total amount specified from the total amount confirmation information is transmitted to the financial institution server. At this time, since the total amount specified from the total amount confirmation information received in step S143 is also transmitted to the financial institution server 500, the input operation after login is reduced. Here, since this mobile banking process uses a mobile banking system currently provided by each financial institution, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, payment processing is completed at the time of transfer processing by mobile banking by using mobile banking by a financial institution as a payment processing for payment for a value charge. However, the settlement process is not limited to the process in which the settlement is completed at the time of the process as described above. For example, the credit card providing institution is requested to pay for the charge for the charge to the server of the credit card providing institution. The server may perform payment by credit, and actual payment may be performed at a later date.

  Returning to FIG. 1, when the payment for the value purchase is completed, the financial institution server 500 transmits an application message to the payment server 280 indicating that the payment for the value purchase is completed.

  The settlement server 280 registers the received application message in the billing information DB 281. Then, the settlement server 280 transmits a consumption breaking report corresponding to the received consumption message to the electronic money management server 200.

  Proceeding to FIG. 12, in step S <b> 269, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not a breaking information has been received from the settlement server 280. If it is determined that the consumption bulletin has been received (YES in step S269), the data processing unit 210 executes a post value settlement process in step S270. The post-value consideration settlement process will be described with reference to FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the consumption breaking news has not been received (NO in step S269), or after step S270, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S241.

For example, an alarm is generated so that the administrator of the electronic money management server 200 can check. Then, after the confirmation operation, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the value purchase AP 212 which is a process of calling this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the purchase number is registered (YES in step S2700), in step S2702, the data processing unit 210 determines that the purchase of the value indicated by the purchase number corresponds to the mobile phone corresponding to the purchase number. It is determined whether or not it is the first purchase at 100. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the count value of the value purchase number counter corresponding to the mobile phone 100 is zero.

  If it is determined that the purchase is the first time (YES in step S2702), the data processing unit 210 sets the count value of the uncharged deletion counter to 0 in step S2703. When it is determined that the purchase is the first time, the data processing unit 210 may subtract 1 from the count value of the uncharged deletion counter. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2704. On the other hand, if it is determined that the purchase is not the first time (NO in step S2702), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2704.

  Next, in step S2704, the data processing unit 210 updates the value purchase record corresponding to the member ID corresponding to the purchase number. Here, a process for setting the uncharged value to be present is performed. Specifically, in the issue information DB 222, information for specifying the amount of value (for example, “1000” when the purchase amount is 1000 yen) and written that indicates that the amount is uncharged Information (for example, “0”) is associated and stored. Thereby, a value purchase record (identification information) for identifying the value corresponding to the charge request received by the determination in step S241 and the uncharged value that can be charged to the mobile phone 100 of the charge request source. Means for registering.

  Then, in step S2705, the data processing unit 210 adds 1 to the count value of the value purchase count counter, and in step S2706, adds the purchase amount to the current day sum corresponding to the mobile phone 100 to update the day sum. In step S2707, the purchase amount is added to the accumulated charge amount corresponding to the mobile phone 100, and the accumulated charge amount is updated and stored.

  Next, in step S2708, the data processing unit 210 transmits response information to the effect that the consumption breaking news received in step S2700 has been processed normally to the settlement server 280. In step S2709, the data processing unit 210 transmits the e-mail with the takeover information to the e-mail address of the member ID corresponding to the breaking news. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 ends the process after value consideration settlement, and returns the process to be executed to the caller of this process. Link information is included as the takeover information. The link information in the present embodiment includes information for automatically starting an electronic money application 111 described later. When the electronic money application 111 is activated, it is activated from the takeover information (YES in step S191), so a value issue process described later with reference to FIG. 14 is executed.

It is determined whether or not an illegal card ID is received.

  The unauthorized card ID is an ID for identifying a prepaid card 371 purchased with an unauthorized mobile phone 100. The process of transmitting the unauthorized card ID will be described with reference to FIGS. 41 and 42 described later.

  If it is determined that the unauthorized card ID has been received (YES in step S605), the data processing unit 610 stores the unauthorized card ID in the storage unit 620 in step S606. If it is determined that an unauthorized card ID has not been received (NO in step S605), or after step S606, the data processing unit 610 executes the process to be executed by the caller of this unit unauthorized registration process. Returning to the ball lending process of FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined that the unauthorized card ID has not been received (NO in step S605), data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to the ball lending process of FIG.

  Returning to FIG. 38, 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 a prepaid card 371, and the amount of cash input indicated by the cash count signal from the money handling machine 680 is stored in advance in the card reader / writer 670. The card reader / writer 670 is controlled to deposit the card 371. Here, after payment, the prepaid card 371 is held in the card unit 600 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. 39 is a flowchart showing the flow of prepaid ball lending processing executed by card unit 600 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 39, 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 reads the prepaid card read by the card reader / writer 670 in step S613. The prepaid balance recorded in 371 is received from the card reader / writer 670.

  Next, in step S614, the data processing unit 610 determines whether the received balance is a value greater than 0, that is, whether the balance is not 0. If it is determined that the balance is not a value greater than 0 (NO in step S614), data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S632.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the balance is greater than 0 (YES in step S614), data processing unit 610 determines in step S615 whether a ball lending operation signal has been received from ball lending button 631. To do. If it is determined that a ball lending operation signal has not been received (NO in step S615), data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S631.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the ball lending operation signal has been received (YES in step S615), the data processing unit 610 subtracts the consideration equivalent to the predetermined lending from the balance of the prepaid card 371 in step S616. Next, in step S617, the data processing unit 610 controls the card reader / writer 670 to write the subtracted balance to the prepaid card 371.

  Next, in step S618, the data processing unit 610 transmits a ball lending signal for requesting the payout of a predetermined number of game balls to the pachinko gaming machine 700. In response to the ball lending signal, the pachinko gaming machine 700 pays out a predetermined number of game balls. The player can play a pachinko game using the paid out game balls. Note that the card unit 600 is not limited to the one that causes the pachinko gaming machine 700 to pay out the game ball by transmitting a ball lending signal, and may be one that pays out the game ball itself. That is, in step S618, a process of paying out game balls may be executed. Thereafter, the data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S631.

  In step S <b> 631, the data processing unit 610 determines whether a return operation signal is received from the return button 632. If it is determined that the return operation signal has not been received (NO in step S631), data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to step S691.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a return operation signal has been received (YES in step S631), data processing unit 610 advances the process to be executed to step S632.

  In step S632, the data processing unit 610 resets the balance read from the prepaid card 371. Next, in step S633, the data processing unit 610 controls the card reader / writer 670 to return the prepaid card 371. Thereafter, the data processing unit 610 returns the process to be executed to the ball lending process of FIG. 38, which is the calling source process of this prepaid ball lending process.

  Returning to FIG. 38, 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, if 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 unit unauthorized registration process of FIG. It is determined whether or not it has been stored. 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 process from step S641 to step S648 is the same as step S341 to step S348 of the ticket issuing process described in FIG. 35, the description 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 the application including the shortage balance 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 IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100, as in step S356 of the ticketing process in FIG. The chip reader / writer 690 is controlled so that a subtraction request signal for subtracting from the mobile phone 100 is transmitted.

  Then, in step S657, the data processing unit 610 determines whether or not a subtraction end signal has been received from the mobile phone 100, as in step S357 of the ticketing process in 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.

  Furthermore, in addition to step S658, as in step S358 of the ticketing process of FIG. 35, 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 process from step S661 to step S663 is the same as the process from step S361 to step S363 of the ticketing process in FIG. 35, 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. 10, the description thereof will not be repeated.

  FIG. 41 is a flowchart showing a processing flow of the remaining amount management application program 214 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 41, first, in step S291, data processing unit 210 of electronic money management server 200 determines whether or not transaction information has been received from store server 800. When the transaction information is received (YES in step S291), in step S292, the data processing unit 210 calculates the transaction amount included in the transaction information from the accumulated charge of the member ID corresponding to the mobile ID included in the transaction information. Subtract.

  After step S292 or when it is determined that transaction information has not been received (NO in step S291), the data processing unit 210 determines in step S281 whether or not there is a member ID whose accumulated charge is negative. Judging.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID whose accumulated charge is negative (YES in step S281), in step S282, the data processing unit 210 adds the fraud count of the member ID once.

  After step S282, or when it is determined that there is no member ID whose accumulated charge is negative (NO in step S281), in step S283, the data processing unit 210 has a member ID whose fraud count is one. Determine whether or not.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID with one fraud count (YES in step S283), in step S284, the data processing unit 210 purchases using the mobile phone value of the mobile ID corresponding to the member ID. The fact that the card ID of the prepaid card is registered in the unit and the illegal medium information including the portable ID are transmitted to the game hall 30 side.

  After step S284, or when it is determined that there is no member ID with one fraud count (NO in step S283), in step S285, the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is a member ID with two fraud times. Judge whether or not.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID with two fraud times (YES in step S285), in step S286, the data processing unit 210 registers the portable ID corresponding to the member ID in the ticket vending machine 300, and Then, the fraudulent terminal information including the mobile ID corresponding to the member ID is transmitted to the game hall 30 side where the fraud has occurred. In step S287, the data processing unit 210 also transmits the unauthorized terminal information to other game halls in the same trade area as the game hall 30 in which the fraud has occurred. It should be noted that the game arcade where the data processing unit 210 transmits the fraudulent terminal information is not limited to the game hall 30 in which the fraud has occurred or other game halls in the same trade area as the game hall 30 in which the fraud has occurred. It may be a playground, or may be a playground adjacent to the playground 30 where fraud has occurred.

  After step S287, or when it is determined that there is no member ID for the number of fraud times 2 (NO in step S285), in step S288, the data processing unit 210 determines that the number of frauds that occurred in game arcades nationwide is 3. It is determined whether or not the number of times has been exceeded.

  If it is determined that the number of frauds that have occurred at game arcades nationwide is 3 or more (in the case of YES in step S288), in step S289, the data processing unit 210 transmits portable use prohibition information to the game hall 30 side. . In step S290, the data processing unit 210 also transmits the portable use prohibition information to the game hall 30 where the fraud has occurred and the game hall nationwide. In addition, although the case where the data processing unit 210 transmits the portable use prohibition information to the game halls nationwide other than the game hall 30 in which fraud has occurred has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game hall 30 in which fraud has occurred It may be transmitted to another game arcade in the same trade area, or a game arcade 30 where fraud has occurred and a neighboring game arcade. In this case, in step S288, it may be determined whether or not the number of frauds that have occurred in the game hall that is the transmission target of the portable use prohibition information is three or more. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S291.

  FIG. 42 is a flowchart showing a flow of store server processing executed by store server 800 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 42, the data processing unit of store server 800 determines whether or not transaction information has been received from ticket vending machine 300 or card unit 600 in step S811.

  If it is determined that the transaction information has been received (YES in step S811), the data processing unit of the store server 800, in step S812, for each portable ID included in the transaction information, the card ID of the issued prepaid card 371, Information for specifying the amount of cash used for purchase and the amount of value used for purchase is associated with each other and stored in the storage unit.

  After step S812 or when it is determined that transaction information has not been received (NO in step S811), the data processing unit of the store server 800 sends the transaction information to the electronic money management server 200 last time in step S813. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the transmission. In the present embodiment, the predetermined time is 3 hours.

  If it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous transmission of transaction information (YES in step S814), the data processing unit of store server 800 uses mobile phone 100 after the previous transmission stored in the storage unit in step S814. Is sent to the electronic money management server 200.

  After step S814 or when it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of transaction information (NO in step S814), the data processing unit of the store server 800 obtains the portable use prohibition information in step S821. It is determined whether it has been received from the electronic money management server 200.

  If it is determined that the portable use prohibition information has been received (YES in step S821), the data processing unit of the store server 800 sends the portable use prohibition information to all the ticket vending machines 300 and cards in the game hall 30 in step S822. Send to unit 600.

  After step S822, or when it is determined that the portable use prohibition information has not been received (NO in step S821), the data processing unit of the store server 800 acquires the unauthorized terminal information in step S823. It is determined whether or not the message is received from 200.

  If it is determined that the unauthorized terminal information has been received (YES in step S823), the data processing unit of the store server 800 transmits the unauthorized terminal information to all the ticket vending machines 300 and card units 600 in the game hall 30 in step S824. Send to.

  After step S824 or when it is determined that fraudulent terminal information has not been received (NO in step S823), the data processing unit of the store server 800 obtains fraudulent medium information from the electronic money management server 200 in step S825. It is determined whether or not received from.

  If it is determined that the unauthorized medium information has been received (YES in step S825), the data processing unit of the store server 800 stores the portable ID included in the unauthorized medium information in the storage unit in step S826. Is transmitted to all the card units 600 in the game hall 30.

  After step S826 or when determining that the unauthorized medium information has not been received (NO in step S825), the data processing unit of the store server 800 returns the process to be executed to step S811.

Next, main effects obtained by the first embodiment described above will be described.
(1) Conventionally, there have been issues of game recording media used for games with electronic money and additional payments to game recording media (for example, JP-A-2002-224423 (for example, paragraph 0035)) . This electronic money can be charged from the user's transaction financial institution. Then, the user purchases a game recording medium using the charged electronic money, or makes an additional payment to the game recording medium. However, according to such a technique, it is necessary to charge electronic money by connecting to a predetermined deposit machine in the game hall. For this reason, it was necessary to bother to go to the deposit machine to charge the electronic money. In addition, when the number of deposit machines is small, a state in which users wait in line to charge electronic money occurs, and the time spent on the game is reduced. For this reason, it is conceivable to increase the number of depositing machines. However, there is a limit to the space for installing the depositing machine and the capital investment cost is generated. In any case, since it is necessary to spend the time spent on the game out of the time that the player is in the game hall, there is a problem that the operation of the gaming machine is adversely affected. However, in this embodiment, since it is configured as described above, it is possible to reduce time and effort during value charging.

  Specifically, 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. 11, so that the takeover in step S268 is performed in accordance with the value purchase AP 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. 9, in step S118a, information related to payment for the purchase of value is transmitted to the financial institution server 500, and payment is performed at the financial institution. The uncharged value is written in the storage unit 192 in accordance with the value issuing process. 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.

  (2) Also, in the conventional technology, mobile banking can be performed by accessing the electronic money management server 200 from the mobile phone 100 and purchasing value, and for payment of the value, by accessing the financial institution server designated by the user. Even when using the service, it is necessary to designate a financial institution to be used for depositing every time a value is to be purchased, resulting in a troublesome work. However, in this embodiment, since it is configured as described above, it is possible to reduce time and effort during value charging.

  Specifically, according to the initial registration AP in FIG. 8, in steps S219 to S224, the user selects a financial institution and registers it in the user information DB 221. Then, the electronic money management server 200 receives the charge request information from the mobile phone 100, and in accordance with the value purchase AP in FIG. 12, the financial institution registered in association with the mobile phone 100 in step S246. Search is performed, and takeover screen information including communication destination designation information that enables access to the Internet banking system of the financial institution server searched for in step S268 is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. Then, according to the web process of FIG. 9, the mobile phone 100 can perform payment by transmitting information related to payment for value purchase to a designated financial institution server based on the transfer screen information in step S118a. For this reason, it is not necessary to designate a financial institution to be used for settlement each time a charge is requested, so that it is possible to reduce the trouble of charging value.

  (3) If it is determined in step S140a that financial institution change has been selected in accordance with the value purchase process in FIG. 11, financial institution change inquiry information is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 to the electronic money management server 200. On the other hand, the electronic money management server 200 transmits a screen (see FIGS. 23 (c), (d), FIG. 24 (a), etc.) corresponding to the financial institution change inquiry information to the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that the institution designation information has been received, a process of registering the changed institution designation information of the financial institution in the user information DB 221 in association with the mobile terminal information is performed. Thereby, since the financial institution utilized for payment can be changed, a user's convenience can be improved.

  (4) In order to solve the problem described in (1), for example, a value can be purchased by accessing the electronic money management server 200 from the mobile phone 100. It is conceivable to settle the value purchase amount using the mobile banking service by accessing. However, in actual value purchase, since the connection between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 is disconnected to connect to the financial institution server, the communication with the electronic money management server 200 is maintained and a series of operations are performed. The value cannot be charged by operation. That is, the connection with the electronic money management server 200 is temporarily disconnected, the value purchase amount is settled by connecting to the financial institution server, and then the electronic money management server 200 is connected again to charge the mobile phone 100 with the value. Is essential. For this reason, the operation for charging the value becomes complicated, resulting in a disadvantage that the operation burden on the user increases. However, since the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is possible to reduce the user's operation burden.

  Specifically, when the electronic money management server 200 receives the breaking news from the financial institution server 500, the processing after value consideration settlement is performed in step S270 according to the value purchase AP in FIG. 12, and step S2709 in FIG. The e-mail with the takeover information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. Then, when the hand-over information attached to the mail from the electronic money management server 200 is selected in the mobile phone 100, YES is determined in step S191 in FIG. 10, and uncharged according to the value issuance process in FIG. The value is written in the storage unit 192. Therefore, the user can recognize that the value can be charged by receiving the mail. Moreover, the operation burden for charging the value can be reduced.

  (5) By operating the takeover information attached to the mail, the value issuance processing shown in FIG. 14 is started, and the value issuance request information is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200 in step S152, so that the value is charged. Therefore, it is possible to further reduce the operation burden.

  (6) In addition to the problem described in (4), there is another inconvenience that it cannot be confirmed whether or not the value has been purchased and can be charged. For this reason, due to a user error or the like, in spite of the fact that the uncharged value exists in the electronic money management server, there arises a disadvantage that the charge is repeatedly requested and the value is purchased. However, in the present embodiment, since it is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent inconvenience caused by a user error or the like.

  Specifically, even when the electronic money management server 200 receives charge request information from the mobile phone 100, “1” is written as the written information in step S244 in accordance with the value purchase AP in FIG. If a value purchase record that has not been updated to the stored state is registered and it is determined YES, the balance information in step S256, the total amount confirmation information in step S264, and the takeover screen information in step S268 are transmitted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the information regarding the payment for the purchase of the value from being transmitted to the financial institution server 500 in step S118a. For this reason, there is an inconvenience that even though there is an uncharged value in which “0” is stored as written information, a further payment request is made due to a user's error or the like, and the value is purchased redundantly. Can be prevented.

  (7) When the electronic money management server 200 determines that the value purchase record that has not been updated to the state in which “1” is stored as the written information in step S244 is registered and it is determined YES, step S245 is performed. After the charge induction screen is transmitted to the mobile phone 100, the value is issued from the value purchase record in which “0” is stored as the written information in steps 276 to S277 in accordance with the value issuance processing AP in FIG. Value issuance information for writing a certain amount of value is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. For this reason, the operation for charging the uncharged value can be omitted, and the convenience for the user can be improved.

  (8) When the electronic money management server 200 receives new charge request information in step S241 until it receives the consumption breaking information from the financial institution server 500 in step S269, it is written as written information in the issue information DB 222. A plurality of value purchase records in which “0” is stored are stored. In this state, when the charge request information is further received in step S241 and when the value issuance request information is accepted in step S271, a plurality of documents stored in the issuance information DB 222 in steps 276 to S277 are stored. Value issuance information for writing the amount of value specified from the value purchase record in a state where “0” is stored as embedded information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. That is, it is possible to charge values in a lump and improve user convenience.

  (9-1) Even if it is determined in step S2061 that the balance transfer request information has been received from the mobile phone 100, if it is determined in step S2064 that there is an uncharged value, the subsequent value storage process is performed. You can prevent it from happening. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the model change of the mobile phone 100 from being performed due to a user 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.

  (9-2) Further, even when the electronic money management server 200 receives the balance transfer request information from the mobile phone 100 in step S2061, there is an uncharged value that has not been set to written in step S2064. If it is determined that there is, the uncharged value can be output to the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the balance transfer request information, as described in steps S2065 and S277. 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, user convenience can be improved.

  (10) As a timing for collecting the initial registration fee described in step S259, it is conceivable that the area reservation information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 after the initial registration fee is settled. However, in this case, there is a problem that it takes time and trouble to make a settlement with the financial institution server 500 for a small initial registration fee. In order to save this trouble, it may be possible to settle the initial registration fee together with the initial charge fee. However, if it is repeated maliciously to leave the electronic money game usage service and register again with the electronic money game usage service without charging the value, the electronic money game usage service is provided. However, even though the providing organization pays the service providing area management organization for the storage area for the electronic money game use service, the initial registration fee for the reservation cannot be settled from the user. However, in the present embodiment, since it is configured as described above, it is possible to reduce the user's operation burden for the settlement of the compensation for securing the storage area for the electronic money game use service, It is possible to reduce the initial registration fee.

  Specifically, the electronic money management server 200 receives charge request information from the mobile phone 100 for the first time after the area reservation information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 that is the source of the charge request information. Transmits the value issuance information to the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the charge request information on condition that the settlement of the total amount of the charge fee and the initial registration fee is completed. That is, when the value is charged for the first time, the initial registration fee is settled together with the charge fee. On the other hand, the electronic money management server 200 sets the area reservation information on the condition that the count value of the uncharge deletion counter corresponding to the registration request from the mobile phone 100 has reached a predetermined number (three times in the present embodiment). Prohibit transmission. As a result, the area reservation information of the storage area for the electronic money game use service is not transmitted to the remote issue server 400 of the service use area management organization, so that the remote issue server 400 does not charge the initial registration fee. As a result, the user's operational burden for the settlement of the initial registration fee can be reduced, while the unpaid amount generated by repeatedly securing the storage area for the electronic money game use service without purchasing value. It is possible to reduce the initial registration fee, that is, the damage caused to the provider of the electronic money game use service.

  (11) As described in step S2703, the count value of the uncharge deletion counter is subtracted on condition that the initial registration fee has been settled. For this reason, if you have to re-register multiple times unavoidably, the initial registration fee is settled at the first charge after registration, but the count value of the uncharged deletion counter exceeds the specified number of times, It is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the storage area for the electronic money game use service cannot be secured.

  (12) As described above, the predetermined number of times of (11) may be one. In that case, even if the count value of the uncharged deletion counter is not managed, the information indicating whether or not the initial registration fee has been settled is managed, so that the electronic money game use service can be performed without purchasing value. Therefore, it is possible to reduce an unsettled initial registration fee caused by repeatedly securing a storage area for use.

  (13) Conventionally, there has been a mobile phone in which a charge request amount is input and transmitted to a server, and an electronic money management server transmits the requested amount of value to the mobile phone to charge (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, since convenience is improved, there may be a problem that the player is absorbed in 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, first, as described in step S253, the electronic money management server 200 manages a predetermined period (in the present embodiment, that day) that is managed for the mobile phone 100 that is the source of the charge request information. Whether or not to allow the purchase of value based on the accumulated amount on the day and the daily purchase limit (30000 yen in the present embodiment) determined in advance for the accumulated amount on the day Then, on the condition that it is determined to be acceptable, the value issue information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the charge request information, as described in step S277. 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.

  (14) Secondly, as described in step S251, the electronic money management server 200 determines in advance the value balance and the value balance that are the remaining value stored in the mobile phone 100 that is the transmission source of the charge request information. It is determined whether or not the purchase of the value is permitted based on the portable holding limit, and on the condition that it is determined that the purchase is permitted, the value issuance information is stored in the charge request information as described in step S277. It transmits to the mobile phone 100 of the transmission source. For this reason, it is further determined whether or not the purchase of the value is allowed based on the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 and the mobile holding limit, so that the value balance stored in the mobile phone 100 can be determined. Can be limited. As a result, it is possible to prevent the mobile phone 100 from accumulating value within the range of the daily purchase limit on the day when the game hall 30 is not visited, so the mobile phone 100 that is the source of the charge request information is used. It is possible to further prevent excessive immersing in the player's game.

  (15) Conventionally, there has been a system in which a value 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, paragraphs 0074 to 0090 of JP-A-2004-272717, 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. 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.

  (16) As described in (13), when the value charged in the mobile phone is used in a game, the charge to the mobile phone (in the mobile phone) is used in order to prevent excessive user consumption. It is desirable to set an upper limit on the amount that can be stored in a cell phone and the amount that can be charged to a mobile phone per day. However, if such an 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 was a problem that it was necessary to use a mobile phone, which was inconvenient. In addition, it is conceivable that the test mobile phone can be charged with value without going through the server. However, if this is done, if it is pretending to be a mobile phone for testing, 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, as described in Steps S246a to S253, for the test mobile phone, the test mobile phone holding limit and the test mobile phone holding limit higher than the normal daily mobile phone limit and 1 It is determined whether or not charging is permitted based on the daily purchase limit. For this reason, when using a test mobile phone as compared to using a normal mobile phone, it is possible to charge more than the normal amount, eliminating the inconvenience of testing the system can do.

  In addition, as described in steps S246a to S253, charging is allowed in the same manner by simply changing the mobile holding limit and the daily purchase limit between a normal mobile phone and a test mobile phone. It is determined whether or not. For this reason, for example, in order to eliminate the restriction on the test mobile phone based on the upper limit amount, compared with a system that allows charging without going through the electronic money management server 200, there is a security hole. The risk of occurrence can be reduced.

  (17) Conventionally, when charging a value, there has been a case in which a numeric input field for inputting a charge amount is displayed on the mobile phone 100 to allow a user to input a desired purchase amount. However, since the user can freely input the amount of money, there is a problem that if the amount of input exceeds the upper limit, it is necessary to prompt the user to input again, and the user is troubled. For this reason, it is conceivable that options for the charge amount of the value within the upper limit amount are incorporated in the electronic money application in advance and selected from the options. In this case, in order to change the option of the charge amount in accordance with the change of the charge upper limit amount, it is necessary to introduce the electronic money application purposely. However, since the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is possible to allow the user to select an appropriate charge amount efficiently.

  Specifically, as described in step S256, balance information including the display amount list information read in step S247 is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. Therefore, in the electronic money management server 200, even when the mobile holding limit or the daily purchase limit is changed, the display amount list information is changed in the electronic money management server 200 without changing the electronic money application. By doing so, the option of the charge amount displayed on the mobile phone 100 can be changed.

  (18) As described with reference to FIG. 28 (b), among the plural types of amounts included in the displayed amount list information, the amount less than the purchaseable amount calculated in step S255 obtained by subtracting the daily purchase limit from the daily purchase limit amount. In this case, the user can be made aware that it is possible to specify an option for an amount less than or equal to the purchaseable amount calculated in step S255 obtained by subtracting the value balance from the portable holding limit. In other words, among the multiple types of amounts included in the displayed amount list information, it is possible to specify options for the amount within the range of the difference between the daily purchase limit and the accumulated amount on the day, and the difference between the mobile holding limit and the value balance. It can be made to recognize that it is. As a result, it is possible to prevent the user from performing a useless operation that causes the user to select an option that cannot be purchased.

  (19) As described in step S256, there are a plurality of types of desired purchase amount options depending on whether the mobile phone from which the charge request information is transmitted is a normal mobile phone or a test mobile phone. Display amount list information indicating the display amount list is transmitted to the mobile phone that is the transmission source of the charge request information, and a plurality of types of purchase desired amount options indicated by the transmitted display amount list information are displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone. . 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.

  (20) On the condition that the portable terminal information included in the balance transfer request information and the portable terminal information included in the deposit number information do not match in step S2174, as described in steps S2179 and S2272, Custody balance information and return execution information for returning the value is 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.

  (21) As described in step S345 and step S346, when a test mobile phone is stolen, the use of the stolen test mobile phone is not permitted. 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.

  (22) According to the ticketing process of FIG. 35 and the ball lending process of FIG. 38, a subtraction request signal including electronic money identification information that designates a value that is a specific type of electronic money as a deduction target in steps S356 and S656, respectively. Since the prepaid card 371 can be purchased or lent using only the value transmitted from the ticket vending machine 300 or the card unit 600 to the mobile phone 100 and specified by the electronic money identification information, different types of values are used. Thus, purchase of prepaid card 371 or ball lending can be prevented.

  (23) In step S812, the value amount used for the purchase or ball lending process of the prepaid card 371 and the mobile ID of the mobile phone 100 used for the purchase or ball lending are associated with each other and stored in the store server 800. . If it is determined in step S813 that the predetermined time has elapsed, the information stored in the store server 800 in step S814 is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200 as transaction information. On the other hand, in step S2707, the accumulated charge amount and the mobile ID are associated with each other and stored in the issuance information DB 222. In step S292, the transaction amount included in the transaction information is subtracted from the accumulated charge amount of the member ID corresponding to the mobile ID included in the transaction information. In step S281, whether there is a member ID whose accumulated charge amount is negative. It is determined whether or not there has been an illegal transaction. If there is a fraudulent transaction, the fraudulent terminal information is transmitted to the game hall 30 where the fraudulent transaction has occurred in step S286.

  In the game hall 30 that has received the unauthorized terminal information, the unauthorized terminal information is stored in steps S314 and S604, and when the prepaid card 371 is purchased with the value and used for the ball lending process, the mobile ID of the mobile phone 100 is It is determined whether or not the information matches the illegal terminal information. If the information matches, processing for not setting the balance to the value balance, that is, use stop processing is performed. As a result, it is possible to minimize damage when fraud exceeding the remaining amount is performed.

  (24) If there is an unauthorized transaction in step S281, the number of fraudulent transactions is incremented by 1 in step S282, and the frequency of the unauthorized transaction is measured. If the number of frauds is 1, illegal media information is transmitted to the game hall 30 where the fraudulent transaction has occurred in step S284, and ball rental with a prepaid card used for fraudulent transactions is prohibited. If the number of frauds is two times, the fraudulent terminal information is transmitted to the game hall 30 where the fraudulent transaction has occurred and other game arcades in the same trade area as the game hall 30 in step S286 and step S287, and used for fraudulent transactions. The purchase of the prepaid card 317 and the ball rental by the mobile phone 100 are prohibited.

  Furthermore, when the number of frauds is 3, in step S289 and step S290, the portable use prohibition information is transmitted to the game hall 30 where the fraudulent transaction has occurred and to game halls nationwide. Then, in the game hall that has received the portable use prohibition information, the portable use prohibition information is stored in steps S312 and S602, respectively, and in steps S322 and S622, the value is used for all mobile phones. The process of prohibiting the purchase of the prepaid card 371 and ball lending is performed. As described above, since the prohibited content is selected and executed according to the frequency of fraudulent transactions, it is possible to minimize damage caused when fraud is performed more effectively.

  (25) Some mobile phones having a non-contact type IC chip communicate with an electronic money terminal or server to add and subtract values (for example, paragraphs 0016 and 0017 of JP-A-2005-38209). Paragraphs, paragraphs 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 600 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 mobile phone 100 by card unit 600 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 S185, 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.

  (26) 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 prepaid from the value balance 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 card 371 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, and as described in step S184, the mobile phone 100 informs that the value balance is less than or equal to the predetermined amount. The same applies to the card unit 600. 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.

  (27) When the balance shortage information before subtraction, the post-subtraction balance shortage information, or the post-subtraction balance shortage information is received in step S181 or step S182, the value purchase process is executed, and as described in step S133, Since 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.

  (28) As processing at the time of value purchase, the option of the desired purchase amount is displayed at step S139, and the selection of the desired purchase amount is accepted at step S141. It is not necessary to display the options. 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.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, the electronic money system 10 according to the second embodiment will be described. In the first embodiment described above, the financial institution designation information for specifying the financial institution used by the user to pay the price to the provider of the electronic money game use service is stored in step S224 in FIG. When the purchase information is registered in the user information DB 221 of the management server 200 and the value is purchased, the transfer screen information including the URL that allows the electronic money management server 200 to access the internet banking system of the financial institution in step S268 of FIG. An example of transmission (server-side financial institution registration pattern) has been described. In the second embodiment, financial institution designation information is registered in the storage unit of each mobile phone 100, and when the value is purchased, the financial institution registered in the storage unit of each mobile phone 100 is read and read. An example of accessing the Internet banking system of a financial institution (mobile phone side financial institution registration pattern) will be described.

  In the first embodiment described above, when purchasing a value, as described in step S244 in FIG. 12, it is determined whether or not there is an uncharged value on the electronic money management server 200 side. (Server-side uncharge determination pattern) has been described. In the second embodiment, an example of determining whether or not there is an uncharged value on the mobile phone 100 side when purchasing a value (mobile phone side uncharge determination pattern) will be described.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, when the value is purchased, the amount obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the value balance on the electronic money management server 200 side as described in steps S251 and S253 in FIG. An example in which it is determined whether or not the amount is less than or equal to the mobile retention limit, and whether or not the value obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the value accumulated on the day is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit (server-side limit determination pattern) ) Explained. In the second embodiment, when a value is purchased, whether or not the amount obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the value balance on the mobile phone 100 side is less than or equal to the portable retention limit, and the value accumulated on the day An example (a mobile phone side limit determination pattern) in which it is determined whether or not the sum of the minimum purchase amount and the daily purchase limit amount or less will be described.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, when a value is purchased and then charged to the mobile phone 100, the connection with the electronic money management server 200 is temporarily disconnected and connected to the financial institution server 500. The example (partition pattern) in which the payment of the value purchase amount is completed and then the connection is made again to the electronic money management server 200 and the value is charged to the mobile phone 100 has been described. In the second embodiment, an example (series pattern) in which the value can be charged to the mobile phone 100 after purchasing the value as a series of processes without dividing the connection state with the electronic money management server 200. explain.

  As described above, the electronic money system 10 according to the second embodiment is such that the financial institution is registered in the storage unit of each mobile phone 100, the presence or absence of uncharged value is determined on the mobile phone 100 side, The electronic device according to the first embodiment is that the mobile phone 100 determines whether or not it is below the retention limit and the daily purchase limit, and that value purchase and charge are possible as a series of processing. Different from the money system 10. For this reason, in 2nd Embodiment, a different point from 1st Embodiment is demonstrated and the overlapping description is not repeated.

  FIG. 43 is a diagram for explaining data used when the mobile phone 100 according to the second embodiment receives an electronic money game use service.

  FIG. 43 is a diagram for explaining information stored in an area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 mounted on the normal mobile phone 100. The area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the contactless IC chip 190 includes a member ID issued by the electronic money management server 200, a value balance of the mobile phone 100, a value purchase record (including an uncharged value). ), Accumulated amount on the day, display amount list information, portable holding amount information, and daily purchase amount information. The value purchase record includes a value amount and written information indicating whether or not the value has been written.

  In FIG. 43, for example, “1101” as the member ID, “11000” indicating that the value balance is 11,000 yen, “1000” indicating that the value amount is 1000 yen, and the value as written information are written. “0” indicating that the value has not been completed, “5000” indicating that the value is 5000 yen, “1” indicating that the value has already been written as written information, and 6000 yen as the accumulated amount on the day “6000” to the effect is stored. As the display amount list information, information indicating five amounts of “1000 yen”, “5000 yen”, “10000 yen”, “20000 yen”, and “30000 yen” is stored. Further, information indicating the amount of “30000 yen” is stored as the portable holding limit information and the daily purchase limit information. In the case of a test mobile phone, information indicating five amounts of “10000 yen”, “50000 yen”, “100000 yen”, “300000 yen”, and “500000 yen” is stored as display amount list information. In addition, information indicating the amount of “500000 yen” is stored as the portable holding limit information and the daily purchase limit information.

  FIG. 44 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of the initial registration application program 210 executed by the electronic money management server 200 according to the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 44, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 registers the mobile terminal information in the user information DB 221 in step S218, and then, in step S225a, the promotion mail reception availability setting screen (FIG. 24B). )) Is transmitted to the mobile phone 100.

Referring to FIG. 46, if data processing unit 110 of mobile phone 100 determines in step S126 that the area securing process has ended, it stores the financial institution used by the user to pay the price for electronic money in step S126a. The financial institution registration process for registering in the unit 120 is executed, and the process proceeds to step S192.

  If it is determined in step S191 that the activation is not based on the takeover information, a startup setting process that is executed when the electronic money application 111 is activated by a user operation in step S191a is executed, and the process proceeds to step S192.

  In step S196a, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 53 (b), “history” is a link for displaying a history of charge of value to the non-contact type IC chip 190 displayed on the initial screen at startup. It is determined whether or not “display” is selected. When the “history display” link is selected on the startup initial screen, the data processing unit 110 determines that the history display is selected in step S196a. When the “history display” link is selected in step S196a, a history display process is executed in step S196b. In the history display process, a history or the like is displayed based on various types of information (see FIG. 43) stored in the electronic money game use service area of the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190.

  Note that the processing executed in the electronic money application 111 in the second embodiment has been described with reference to FIG. 10 except for the processing in step S126a, step S191a, and steps S196a to S196b described above, and therefore description thereof will not be repeated.

  FIG. 47 is a flowchart showing the flow of the financial institution registration process among the processes of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 in the second embodiment.

  When the financial institution registration process is started, the mobile banking registration top screen described with reference to FIG. 23B is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile phone 100 according to the processing procedure indicated by the electronic money application 111 in the second embodiment. . Then, when the “from here” financial institution inquiry link is selected, processing for selecting a financial institution to be used is started.

  In step S126b, data processing unit 110 determines whether or not an operation for selecting a financial institution has been performed. When an operation for selecting a financial institution is performed (YES in step S126b), data processing unit 110 displays a screen corresponding to the selection operation on display unit 140 of mobile phone 100 in step S126c.

  Here, in the second embodiment, a display screen displayed on display unit 140 of mobile phone 100 displayed when an operation of selecting a financial institution is performed will be described with reference to FIG. 23 and FIG. explain. The screen in FIG. 23C is a first financial institution selection screen displayed according to the processing procedure indicated by the electronic money application 111 in the second embodiment. In the screen of FIG. 23 (c), there is a text that prompts the user to select a mobile banking business type, a “city bank” that is a link for selecting a city bank, and a link for selecting a regional bank. A link to select a “regional bank”, a “second regional bank” to select a second regional bank, a “labor safe” to select a labor union, and a link to select a credit union A certain “credit union”, “credit union” which is a link for selecting a credit union, and “other” which is a link for selecting another financial institution are displayed. Here, a case will be described in which the “city bank” link is selected on the screen of FIG.

  The screen of FIG. 23D is a second financial institution selection displayed according to the processing procedure indicated by the electronic money application 111 in the second embodiment by selecting the “city bank” link on the screen of FIG. It is a screen. In the screen of FIG. 23 (d), a text prompting selection of mobile banking to be used, and links for selecting one of city banks, “Yamato Bank”, “Mitomo Bank”, “ “Diamond Bank” and “Liaison Bank” are displayed. Here, the case where the link “Yamato Bank” is selected on the screen of FIG.

  The screen of FIG. 24A is for confirming mobile banking displayed according to the processing procedure shown by the electronic money application 111 in the second embodiment by selecting the link “Yamato Bank” on the screen of FIG. This is the screen. In the screen of FIG. 24A, “confirmation” which is a link for confirming registration as mobile banking using Yamato Bank and a link for confirming registration and continuing the procedure. Then, a link for returning to the previous screen in order to correct the selected mobile banking, “Click here to correct” is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 47, when the operation of selecting a financial institution has not been performed (NO in step S126b), and after the corresponding screen is displayed in step S126c, data processing unit 110 performs the process to be executed. It progresses to step S126d mentioned later.

  In step S126d, data processing unit 110 determines whether or not an operation for determining a financial institution has been performed. For example, when the screen described in FIG. 24A is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile phone 100, it is determined whether or not the “confirm” link has been selected. When the operation for determining the financial institution is performed (YES in step S126d), in step S126e, the data processing unit 110 specifies the financial institution designation information for identifying the determined financial institution (specifically, The name of the financial institution and information including a URL for performing mobile banking at the financial institution) are registered in the storage unit 120. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 ends the financial institution registration process and returns the process to be executed to the caller of this process. On the other hand, when the operation for determining the financial institution has not been performed (NO in step S126d), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S126b. As described above, in the second embodiment, a financial institution is registered in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100 when initial registration is performed. Note that the information regarding the financial institution used for the financial institution registration process may be included in the electronic money application 111, or may be downloaded every time the financial institution registration process is executed. . Information related to financial institutions includes available financial institution information (information for displaying the screens of FIGS. 23 (b), (c), (d) and FIG. 24 (a)) and the Internet of the financial institution. A URL that allows access to the banking system is included.

  FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing a start-up setting process flow among the processes of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 according to the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 48, in step S191b, the data processing unit 110 obtains information about the uncharged value from the area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and has been purchased. It is determined whether or not there is an uncharged value that is not charged in the mobile phone 100. Whether there is an uncharged value is determined based on whether “0” is stored as written information in the storage unit 192 as described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, when it is determined that “0” is stored as written information, it is determined that there is an uncharged value. Note that the determination of whether there is an uncharged value is not limited to this. For example, information related to an uncharged value that has been charged and written to the mobile phone 100 may be deleted. Whether or not there is an uncharged value may be determined based on whether or not the uncharged value is stored in the storage unit 192.

  If it is determined that there is an uncharged value (YES in step S191b), in step S191c, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not to perform a value issuance promotion display for promoting charging of the uncharged value to the user. One is added to the value of the promotion counter used for the determination. As described above, in the present embodiment, in step S191b, the number of activations of the electronic money application 111 when there is an uncharged value is counted. In step S191d, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the value of the promotion counter is 2 or more. If the value is 2 or more, the data processing unit 110 estimates that the user has forgotten that there is an uncharged value. In step S134, setting is made so that a value issuance promotion display is performed on the startup initial screen. Further, after the process of step S191e, or when it is determined that the value of the promotion counter is not 2 or more, the data processing unit 110 cannot select the value purchase link on the startup initial screen in step S191f. Set to be in the correct state.

  The reference value determined in step S191d is not limited to 2 and may be any value. Further, when it is determined in step S191b that there is an uncharged value, the value issue promotion display may be set in step S191e without updating and determining the value of the promotion counter.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no uncharged value (NO in step S191b), the data processing unit 110 performs setting so that the value purchase link can be selected on the initial startup screen in step S191g.

  Then, in step S192 of FIG. 46, the data processing unit 110 causes the display unit 140 to display a startup initial screen of the electronic money application 111 in the state set in steps S191e to S191g. At this time, the data processing unit 110 acquires the value balance from the area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 and displays it on the display unit 140 as a part of the initial screen at startup. . Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S193.

  FIG. 53 is a start-up initial screen image displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile phone 100 in the electronic money system 10 according to the second embodiment. Each of FIGS. 53 (a), (c), and (d) is the same as FIGS. 26 (a), (c), and (d), and therefore description thereof will not be repeated.

  The screen shown in FIG. 53B is displayed in step S192 when the value issuance promotion display is set in step S191e and the value purchase link is set in an unselectable state in step S191f. This is the initial screen at startup. As described above, in the initial startup screen in the second embodiment, “history display”, which is a link for displaying a history of charge of value to the non-contact type IC chip 190, is displayed. In the lower part of the screen in FIG. 53 (b), a text for prompting charging of an uncharged value is displayed as a value issuance promotion display. Further, in the center of the screen of FIG. 53B, the “value purchase” link is displayed as a dotted line, in a state where the value purchase link is not selectable, unlike the display mode in the selectable state. In addition, as long as it is different from the display mode in the selectable state, the display mode in the non-selectable state is not limited to the dotted line display, and any display mode may be used. For example, as a display mode in a non-selectable state, the display color of the “value purchase” link may be different from the display color in the selectable state. Further, in a state where selection is not possible, control may be performed so that the “value purchase” link is not displayed on the startup initial screen. The other parts of the screen of FIG. 53 (b) and the initial screen at start-up when the value purchase link is set to be selectable in step S191g are as shown in FIG. 26 (b). Since it is almost the same as the screen, the description will not be repeated.

  FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing a flow of value purchase processing among the processing of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 according to the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 49, data processing unit 110 determines whether or not mobile phone 100 has an uncharged value in step S171.

  If it is determined that there is an uncharged value (YES in step S171), the data processing unit 110 displays a charge induction screen on the display unit 140 of the mobile phone 100 and charges the unissued value in step S172. Then, the process proceeds to step S152 described later with reference to FIG.

  Proceeding to FIG. 53, FIG. 53 (d) is a charge inducing screen displayed in step S172. Since there is an uncharged value on the screen in FIG. 53 (d), a text prompting charging is displayed. After this screen is displayed, the processing after step S152 described later with reference to FIG. 52 is executed, and the uncharged value is charged to the mobile phone 100. As described above, the process proceeds to step S152 on condition that the value purchase link is operated (charge request operation is accepted) when there is an uncharged value and transmission of charge request information is prohibited. Value issue request information (electronic money information transmission request) is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no uncharged value (NO in step S171), in step S173, the data processing unit 110 displays the amount indicated by the displayed amount list information in the value balance charged in the mobile phone 100. It is determined whether or not the sum of the minimum purchase amount (1000 yen for a normal mobile phone and 10000 yen for a test mobile phone in this embodiment) is equal to or less than the portable retention limit.

  The display amount list information is information indicating a list of value amounts that can be selected by the user on the mobile phone 100. In the present embodiment, the display amount list information is “1000 yen” when the type is a normal mobile phone. Information indicating five amounts of “5000 yen”, “10000 yen”, “20000 yen”, and “30000 yen”, and “10000 yen”, “50000 yen”, and “100000 yen” when the type is a test mobile phone. This is information indicating the five amounts of “300000 yen” and “500000 yen”. As described with reference to FIG. 43, the display amount list information in the second embodiment is stored in the area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190.

  The amount of value that can be selected is based on the electronic money game usage service based on the information on the mobile holding limit and the daily purchase limit information according to the type specified to prevent the user from getting into the game. Predetermined by the provider. In the second embodiment, portable holding limit information and daily purchase limit information corresponding to the type are stored in the area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. ing.

  These display amount list information, portable retention limit information, and daily purchase limit information are the display amount list information, portable retention limit information, and 1 set on the electronic money management server 200 side. Synchronized with the daily purchase limit information.

  For example, on the electronic money management server 200 side, the display amount list information of a normal mobile phone is changed and set to “500 yen”, “1000 yen”, “2000 yen”, “3000 yen”, “5000 yen”, and “10000 yen”. In this case, the display amount list information stored in the area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 mounted on the normal mobile phone is “500 yen” “1000 yen”. It is automatically updated to “2000 yen”, “3000 yen”, “5000 yen”, and “10000 yen”. On the electronic money management server 200 side, when the portable holding limit information of the normal mobile phone is changed and set to “50000 yen”, the non-contact type IC chip 190 mounted on the normal mobile phone. Information stored in the electronic money game use service area of the storage unit 192 is automatically updated to “50000 yen”. On the electronic money management server 200 side, when the daily purchase limit information of the normal mobile phone is changed and set to “80000 yen”, the non-contact type IC chip 190 mounted on the normal mobile phone. The daily purchase limit information stored in the storage area 192 for the electronic money game use service is automatically updated to “80000 yen”. When the display amount list information, portable retention limit information, and daily purchase limit information of the test mobile phone are changed and set on the electronic money management server 200 side, the non-contact type mounted on the test mobile phone The correspondence information stored in the electronic money game use service area of the storage unit 192 of the IC chip 190 is automatically updated.

  For example, when the mobile phone 100 becomes communicable with the electronic money management server 200, the automatic update is performed by the electronic money management server 200 in the display amount list information of the mobile phone, the mobile holding amount information, and 1 Processing to determine whether or not the daily purchase limit information is the latest version, and processing to send the latest information about the non-latest information to the mobile phone when it is determined that it is not the latest version May be executed. On the mobile phone side, when the latest information is received, a process of storing in the area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 may be executed.

  If the value obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the value balance is not equal to or less than the portable retention limit (NO in step S173), in step S174, the data processing unit 110 displays the portable retention limit purchase impossibility screen (FIG. 27 ( a) Reference) is displayed on the display unit 140.

  On the other hand, when the sum obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the value balance is equal to or less than the portable holding limit amount (in the case of YES in step S173), in step S175, the data processing unit 110 stores the date stored in the storage unit 192. It is determined whether or not the sum obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the day-to-day accumulated value of the value purchased in the step is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit amount. The amount accumulated on the day is stored in the area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190.

  If the amount obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the accumulated amount on the day is not less than or equal to the daily purchase limit (NO in step S175), in step S176, the data processing unit 110 displays the daily purchase limit purchase impossibility screen (FIG. 27). (B) is displayed on the display unit 140.

  On the other hand, when the amount obtained by adding the minimum purchase amount to the current day accumulated amount is equal to or less than the daily purchase limit amount (in the case of YES in step S175), in step S177, the data processing unit 110 purchases from the value balance and the present day accumulated amount. Calculate (specify) the possible amount (chargeable amount).

  Specifically, the data processing unit 110 can purchase the lower amount of the amount obtained by subtracting the value balance from the portable holding limit and the amount obtained by subtracting the daily accumulated amount from the daily purchase limit. Calculate as

  In this embodiment, it is determined whether or not value can be purchased based on the value balance and the portable retention limit, the current day accumulated amount and the daily purchase limit, and the purchaseable amount is calculated. I tried to do it. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it can be purchased by determining whether or not value can be purchased based on one of the value balance and the mobile holding limit, or the current day accumulated amount and the daily purchase limit. The amount of money may be calculated.

  If YES is determined in steps S173 and S175, in step S133, the data processing unit 110 transmits charge request information including the member ID, portable terminal information, and value balance to the electronic money management server 200.

  FIG. 50 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing of the value purchase application program 212 executed by the electronic money management server 200 according to the second embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 50, if it is determined that the charge request information has been received (YES in step S241), data processing unit 210 uses the member ID and portable terminal information included in the charge request information in step S242. It is registered in the person information DB 221, and it is determined whether or not the mobile phone 100 can be used for the electronic money game use service. If it is determined that it is not usable (NO in step S242), in step S243, the data processing unit 210 transmits an unusable screen to the mobile phone 100, and returns the process to be executed to step S241.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it can be used (YES in step S242), in step S256a, the data processing unit 210 corresponds to the mobile phone 100 that has transmitted the charge request information received in step S241. The registered address information is retrieved from the user information DB 221 and read out and transmitted to the mobile phone 100. The registered address information refers to information for specifying an e-mail address registered corresponding to the mobile phone 100.

  Returning to FIG. 49, in step S134a, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the registered address information is received from the electronic money management server 200. If it is determined that the registered address information has been received (YES in step S134a), an address confirmation screen is displayed on the display unit 140 as described above in step S135. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S136.

  If it is determined in step S136 that the address has been confirmed, the financial institution designation information registered in the storage unit 120 is read in step S136a, and the financial institution confirmation screen (see FIG. 28A) is displayed on the display unit 140 in step S136b. Let

  In step S138, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the mobile banking financial institution to be used has been confirmed by the user by selecting the “confirm” link on the screen of FIG. If it is determined that the financial institution has been confirmed (YES in step S138), in step S139, the data processing unit 110 calculates, in step S177, among the amounts specified from the displayed amount list information as a purchase amount selection screen. An amount within the purchased amount is displayed on the display unit 140 in a selectable manner.

  If the financial institution has not been confirmed (NO in step S138), it is determined whether or not a financial institution change has been selected (S140a). If it is determined that the financial institution change has been selected (YES in step S140a), the data processing unit 110 performs the financial institution registration processing described above with reference to FIG. 47 in order to change and register the financial institution in step S140c. Execute. The process for registering the financial institution is changed as long as the server of the changed financial institution is updated to be used for settlement. For example, the financial institution designation information before the change is deleted. Then, it may be a process of registering the financial institution designation information of the newly changed financial institution. Further, it may be a process of newly registering the financial institution designation information after the change as a financial institution used for settlement without deleting the financial institution designation information before the change. In this case, the financial institution designated before the change may be used to change the financial institution used for settlement again to the pre-change financial institution. If it is determined in step S140a that the financial institution change is not selected, the process returns to step S138. When the financial institution registration process is executed in step S140c, the process returns to step S136a, the changed financial institution designation information is read, and the changed financial institution confirmation screen is displayed on the display unit 140 in step S136b.

  When one of the radio buttons that make a pair with the desired charge amount is selected on the purchase amount selection screen of FIG. 28B described above and the “Send” link is selected, the data of the mobile phone 100 is selected in step S141. The processing unit 110 determines whether or not the desired purchase amount has been selected by selecting the desired purchase amount radio button.

  If it is determined that the desired purchase amount has been selected (YES in step S141), in step S142, the data processing unit 110 manages, in step S142, the first account transfer request information including information indicating the desired purchase amount and the member ID. Transmit to server 200. As described above, the mobile phone 100 is provided on the condition that the value purchase link is operated on the screen shown in FIG. 26B, that is, the charge request operation for requesting the charge of the electronic money information is received from the user. Further, after that, on the condition that the purchase amount is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 28B, that is, the designation of the charge amount is accepted from the user, the electronic value of the selected purchase amount (specified charge amount). First account transfer request information is transmitted as charge request information for requesting a charge of money. As a result, the electronic money management server 200 performs the same processing as steps S257 to S264 described in FIG.

  In step S143, the data processing unit 110 determines whether the total amount confirmation information is received from the electronic money management server 200. If it is determined that the total amount confirmation information has been received (YES in step S143), in step S144, the data processing unit 110 displays the total amount confirmation screen based on the total amount confirmation information (see FIG. 28C). Is displayed on the display unit 140.

  In step S145, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the total amount has been confirmed by the user by selecting the “confirm” link on the screen of FIG. When it is determined that the total amount has been confirmed (YES in step S145), in step S146, the data processing unit 110 transmits second account transfer request information including information indicating the member ID to the electronic money management server 200. .

  50, when the electronic money management server 200 receives the second account transfer request information from the portable terminal 100 in step S265 and determines that there is no abnormality by the time stamp check in step S266, the data processing unit 210 In step S268a, payment start information for starting payment for the electronic money is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 at the financial institution registered in the mobile terminal 100.

  Returning to FIG. 49, if the data processing unit 210 of the mobile phone 100 determines in step S181 that the payment start information has been received, the financial institution server specified from the financial institution designation information read in step S136a in step S182. The mobile banking transition confirmation screen for effecting mobile banking is displayed on the display unit 140. After that, in step S183, the data processing unit 210 accesses information relating to payment for value purchase to the financial institution's Internet banking system identified from the read financial institution designation information, and starts mobile banking. As a result, the mobile banking process described in the first embodiment is executed. In the second embodiment, when mobile banking is started, the data processing unit 110 performs a process of updating the value purchase record in step S184, and then proceeds to step S185. In the process of updating the value purchase record in step S184, a process of setting so that there is an uncharged value is performed. In step S184, the purchase amount is further added to the current day accumulated amount, and the day accumulated amount is updated. On the other hand, if the data processing unit 210 of the mobile phone 100 determines in step S181 that payment start information has not been received, step S181 is repeatedly executed.

  In step S185, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not payment completion information transmitted from the electronic money management server 200 has been received as described later with reference to FIG. In the mobile phone 100, since the value purchase process is repeatedly executed even when mobile banking is being performed, it can be determined in step S185 whether payment completion information has been received.

  When payment completion information is received (YES in step S185), the data processing unit 110 displays an initial startup screen in step S186, and the user selects and charges a value charge on the initial startup screen. Is possible. As a result, as a series of processes, it is possible to issue the purchased value after completing the settlement after starting mobile banking. On the other hand, if payment completion information has not been received (NO in step S185), data processing unit 110 repeatedly executes step S185.

  FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing a flow of post value settlement processing that is a subroutine of the value purchase application program 212 executed by the electronic money management server 200 according to the second embodiment. In the post value settlement processing in the second embodiment, if it is determined that a purchase number is registered (YES in step S2700), in step S2701a, the data processing unit 210 indicates that payment has been completed. Is sent to the mobile phone 100 of the member ID corresponding to the consumption breaking news. As described above, the payment completion information in the second embodiment is transmitted from the electronic money management server 200 to the mobile phone 100 having the member ID corresponding to the breaking news. 51 is the same as the process in FIG. 13 except that the process in step S2701a described above is performed and the process in step S2709 in FIG. 13 is not performed. Does not repeat.

  FIG. 52 is a flowchart showing the flow of value issue processing in the processing of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 according to the second embodiment. The process of step S152 in FIG. 52 is executed on the condition that it is determined that value charge is selected in step S194 of FIG. 46, or on the condition that it is determined that there is an uncharged value in step S171 of FIG. The

  Further, when it is determined in step S153 that no value issuance information has been received, the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100 determines whether or not an uncharged value no-screen has been received in step S153a. The uncharged value no screen is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 when it is determined that there is no uncharged value when there is a value issuance request from the mobile phone 100 as described in step S275 of FIG. .

  In addition, when the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100 has not received an uncharged value no screen, the data processing unit 110 further determines whether or not an unusable screen has been received in step S153d. As described in step S273 of FIG. 15, the unusable screen is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 when it is determined that the value issuance request is issued from the mobile phone 100 and the member ID is not usable. When an unusable screen has not been received, processing for determining whether or not value issue information has been received is performed in step S153.

  On the other hand, when the uncharged value no screen is received, the uncharged value no screen described in FIG. 30C is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile phone 100 in step S153b, and the uncharged value no screen is displayed in step S153c. The process of determining whether or not the “OK” link has been operated. The process of step S153c is repeatedly executed until it is operated. If it is operated (YES in step S153c), the process proceeds to step S157a described later. When the process proceeds from step S153c to step S157a, in step S157a, the process of setting the value purchase record to be updated so that there is no uncharged value and the value not set from the accumulated amount on the day are not set. A process of deducting and updating the amount of charge value is performed. In step S157b, the data processing unit 110 resets the value of the promotion counter. In step S158, the data processing unit 110 displays a value issuance completion screen indicating that no value has been issued because there is no uncharged value. 140 is displayed.

  As described above, in step S184 in FIG. 49, a process for setting the presence of an uncharged value is performed at the timing before the settlement is completed. For this reason, even when payment is not actually completed and information regarding purchase such as uncharged value is not registered in the electronic money management server 200, the mobile phone 100 is set to a state where there is uncharged value. The Therefore, unless payment is completed, a charge request cannot be made, resulting in inconvenience for the player. However, in this embodiment, the setting that there is an uncharged value can be canceled by operating the “OK” link in step S153c. Can also be resolved by the player's operation.

  When the unusable screen is received, the unusable screen (see FIG. 26C, etc.) is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile phone 100 in step S153e, and the process proceeds to step S159a.

  52, since the processing of steps S152 to S158 (excluding steps S153a to S153e, S157a, and S157b), S159a, and S159b has been described with reference to FIG. 14, the description thereof will not be repeated.

Next, main effects obtained by the second embodiment will be described.
(1) In the second embodiment described above, among the processes in steps S121 to S126a of FIG. 46 performed at the first activation of the electronic money application, in step S126a, the user selects a financial institution and registers it in the storage unit 120. To do. On the other hand, the electronic money management server 200 receives the charge request information from the mobile phone 100, and transmits the registered address information to the mobile phone 100 in step S256a according to the value purchase AP in FIG. The mobile phone 100 that has received the registered address information reads the financial institution designation information registered in the storage unit 120 in step S136a in accordance with the value purchase process of FIG. Access to can be started in step S183 and payment can be made. Thereby, it is not necessary to designate a financial institution to be used for settlement each time a charge is requested, so that it is possible to reduce the trouble of charging value.

  (2) In the second embodiment described above, if it is determined that the change of financial institution is selected in step S140a according to the value purchase process of FIG. 49, the financial institution registration process of FIG. 47 is performed and changed. A process of registering financial institution designation information for specifying the financial institution as a financial institution that uses the financial institution for settlement in the storage unit 120 is performed. Thereby, since the financial institution utilized for payment can be changed, a user's convenience can be improved.

  (3) The mobile phone 100 according to the second embodiment described above determines YES because the value purchase record that has not been updated to the state in which “1” is stored as the written information in step S171 is registered. In such a case, after the charge induction screen is displayed in step S172, the processing from step S152 onward is executed according to the value issuance processing in FIG. That is, when the “value purchase” link is selected when there is an uncharged value, value issue request information is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200. For this reason, the operation for charging the uncharged value can be omitted, the operation burden on the player can be reduced, and the convenience can be improved.

  (4) When it is determined in step S191b that there is an uncharged value, as described with reference to FIG. 53 (b), the “value purchase” link is distinguishable from the display mode in the selectable state. A dotted line is displayed. Therefore, it can be recognized from the display mode of the “value purchase” link that there is an uncharged value, and it is possible to prevent a player from performing a useless selection operation. Similarly, if the value purchase link is not displayed when it is determined that there is an uncharged value, the user can prevent the user from selecting and operating the “value purchase” link. can do.

  (5) If it is determined in step S191b that there is an uncharged value, the value of the promotion counter is incremented by 1 in step S191c. When it is determined in step S191d that the value of the promotion counter is 2 or more, the value issue promotion display state is set in step S191e. For this reason, in step S192, as described with reference to FIG. 53B, a text that prompts the user to charge the uncharged value is displayed as the value issuance promotion display. As a result, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the user forgets that there is an uncharged value and that the uncharged value is actually left without being charged in the mobile phone 100.

  In the second embodiment described above, the same technical effect as that of the first embodiment described above is obtained with the configuration based on the technical idea common to the first embodiment described above. be able to.

Next, a modification of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) In the embodiment described above, as a pattern for registering a financial institution used for settlement, a server-side financial institution registration pattern is used in the first embodiment, and a mobile phone-side financial institution in the second embodiment. Each registration pattern has been illustrated and described. In addition, as a pattern for determining whether or not there is an uncharged value, the server-side uncharge determination pattern in the first embodiment and the mobile phone-side uncharge determination pattern in the second embodiment are illustrated respectively. Explained. Further, in the first embodiment, the server side limit is used as a pattern for determining whether or not the total value of the value balance or the accumulated amount on the day and the minimum purchase amount is equal to or less than the portable retention limit or the daily purchase limit. The amount determination pattern has been described by exemplifying the mobile phone side limit amount determination pattern in the second embodiment. Furthermore, as a pattern for performing from a value charge request to a value issuance, the division pattern in the first embodiment and the series pattern in the second embodiment are illustrated and described. However, the embodiment is not limited to the combination described in the first or second embodiment, but a pattern for registering a financial institution used for settlement, a pattern for determining whether there is an uncharged value, a value As a pattern for determining whether the total of the balance or the accumulated amount on the day and the minimum purchase amount is less than or equal to the mobile retention limit or the daily purchase limit, and a pattern for performing from the value charge request to the value issuance The pattern may be appropriately selected from the above-described patterns and combined.

  For example, a mobile phone side financial institution registration pattern as a pattern for registering a financial institution used for settlement, a server side uncharge determination pattern as a pattern for determining whether or not there is an uncharged value, a value balance or an accumulated amount on the day The server side limit determination pattern is divided as a pattern from the value charge request to the value issuance as a pattern for determining whether the total amount with the minimum purchase amount is less than or equal to the mobile retention limit or the daily purchase limit. The embodiment which employ | adopted the pattern may be sufficient.

  (2) 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. In other words, as an example of the settlement process, the process for performing the settlement of the value for the purchase of the value from the financial institution has been described as an example.

  However, the processing for settlement is not limited to this. For example, the settlement process may be a process for obtaining a credit approval result in the determination of whether or not credit is possible for settlement of value for purchase of value to a credit card provider. Specifically, the value can be purchased with credit card credit, and the value issuance information may be transmitted to the mobile phone 100 even if the actual settlement has not been completed. In the value purchase process, the electronic money management server 200 or the mobile phone 100 stores the credit card provider, the card number, etc., and the electronic money management server 200 reads the credit card provider, the card number, etc. Obtained from the mobile phone 100, inquires of the provider whether the credit is acceptable, and if there is a reply of credit, performs the processing after value consideration settlement shown in FIG. 13 or FIG. Registration processing may be performed.

  (3) In the above-described 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. Similarly, in step S251, the portable holding limit is determined based on the value balance included in the charge request information transmitted in step S133, but the transaction information is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200 in real time. In this case, in step S133, it may be transmitted to the charge request information not including the value balance.

  (4) In the above-described embodiment, the balance return request information not including the 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.

  (5) In the above-described 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 temporarily stored. After the mobile 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.

  (6) In the above-described embodiment, if it is determined in step S2177 that the sum of the value balance and the deposit balance is greater 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.

  (7) In the present embodiment, the area reservation information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S236 of the initial registration AP 211 shown in FIG. Since the storage area of the mobile phone 100 is constructed (reserved), the uncharge deletion counter is incremented by 1 in step S235 prior to the transmission of the area reservation information, so that the storage unit 192 of the mobile phone 100 uses the electronic money game usage service In step S216, it is determined whether or not the value of the uncharge deletion counter has reached 3, and if so, transmission of the area construction information is prohibited. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of times to be determined in step S216 is one, Instead of counting the number of times in the page deletion counter, a flag indicating that the area has been constructed is set in relation to the transmission of the area construction information in step S236, and step S2703 of the post-value value settlement processing shown in FIG. In step S216, it is determined whether or not the settlement of the area construction consideration has been completed. In step S216, it is determined whether or not the flag is set. Transmission of the area construction information may be prohibited on the assumption that the settlement has not been completed.

  In this embodiment, the uncharge deletion counter is managed for all mobile phones 100, but a database for registering only the mobile terminal information of mobile phones 100 for which the settlement processing for area construction consideration has not been completed is provided. It may be provided separately and the uncharge deletion counter may be managed in the database.

  (8) In the above-described embodiment, the electronic money management server 200 and the settlement server 280 have been described as examples of service providing servers. However, it is not limited to a server, but may be a grid computing system that is a computer that is virtually constructed by connecting a plurality of computers via a network.

  (9) In the first embodiment described above, the data processing unit of the electronic money management server 200 displays a mobile banking transition confirmation screen for confirming with the user whether or not to take over to mobile banking in step S268 of FIG. The transfer screen information to be displayed is transmitted to the mobile phone 100, and the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100 receives the transfer screen information from the electronic money management server 200 in step S117 of FIG. 9B. Accordingly, in steps S118 and S118a, a transition is made to mobile banking, mobile banking processing is performed, and settlement is performed. That is, the connection between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 is temporarily disconnected, the mobile phone 100 accesses the financial institution server 500 for settlement, and then the electronic money management server 200 is accessed again to access the electronic money. The information was written.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of transmitting the takeover screen information in step S268 by the electronic money management server 200, payment is made by the financial institution server 500 from the mobile phone 100 via the electronic money management server 200. You may be able to do it. By doing so, exchange of payment is performed while the connection between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 that is divided when the mobile phone 100 and the financial institution server 500 exchange payments. Then, the process up to the subsequent writing of the electronic money information to the mobile phone 100 can be performed as a series of processes.

  (10) In the second embodiment described above, in step S191b, the number of activations of the electronic money application 111 when there is an uncharged value is counted, and when the count value is equal to or greater than a predetermined number, An example of performing value issue promotion display on the screen has been described. That is, an example in which it is determined that the predetermined time has been reached by starting the electronic money application 111 a predetermined number of times after the value purchase record is updated in step S184 or S157a, and whether or not value issue promotion display is performed is determined. Explained. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the time from when the value purchase record is updated in step S184 or S157a may be timed, and the value issuance promotion display may be performed when the timed time has reached a predetermined time. For example, the time when the value purchase record is updated in step S184 or S157a is stored, and the electronic money application 111 is automatically activated when the predetermined time has elapsed from the time to display the value issuance promotion display. May be.

  (11) In the above-described second embodiment, the accumulated amount of electronic money corresponding to the first account transfer request information (charge request information) is added and managed as the accumulated amount on the day. 52, the value purchase record is updated in step S157a in the value issuance process of FIG. 52, and the amount of electronic money written (added) by the writing process of step S156 is added to the accumulated amount on the day and managed. You may do it.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. The payment may be made for a part or all of the amount charged for the delivery. In other words, when an action for buying and selling is established, it may be anything as long as a part or all of the billing amount generated in the buying and selling action is paid. In this case, for example, the transaction request information output from the information terminal corresponds to information indicating that delivery of goods or stocks is desired. When the information terminal outputs the information to the server, the information terminal receives the communication destination designation information. Further, the information terminal transmits settlement request information for requesting settlement of an amount necessary for receiving delivery of goods, stocks, etc., to a financial institution server designated by the communication destination designation information. Then, the server performs, as a transaction process, a process of recording that the amount charged for the delivery of goods, stocks, etc. has been paid on the condition that the settlement of the settlement is completed at the financial institution server that has received the settlement request information. After such transaction processing is performed, an attendant or the like confirms the recorded contents of the server and ships goods.

  (18) 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 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.

  (19) 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. That is, the predetermined period may be changed as appropriate according to the situation.

  (20) In the above-described embodiment, processing for fraud is performed by the remaining amount management AP 214 in FIG. 41 according to the frequency of the number of frauds 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.

  (21) 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 operation 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.

  (22) 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.

  (23) The settlement processing for the settlement of the payment related to the charge of electronic money is not limited to the transfer processing using mobile banking provided by the financial institution server 500 or the credit processing provided by the credit card institution server, Processing for performing settlement using electronic money or the like different from the value provided by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment may be used. In the present embodiment, the settlement processing is performed by communication between the mobile phone 100 and the financial institution server 500.
