  For electronic money that can be used in common at multiple stores, for those who are trying to cheat, the range of use is wider than electronic money limited to a single store. Since the benefits of doing so are large, it is easy to be targeted as fraudulent targets, and fraud can be carried out in groups. However, the technique described in Patent Document 1 has a problem in that it cannot be determined that fraud has been performed by a group.

  The present invention has been conceived in view of such circumstances, and one of its purposes is to provide a usage status management apparatus and an electronic money system capable of extracting a recording medium suspected of fraud. .

Specific examples of means for solving the problems and their effects

(1) A store in which electronic money is used as a usage history of electronic money (eg, value) stored in a recording medium (eg, mobile phone 100) that can be used in a plurality of stores (eg, amusement hall 30) Store identification information (for example, store ID), use date (for example, use date) and use time (for example, use time), and recording medium identification information (for example, portable terminal information) of the used recording medium ) And a usage history management unit (for example, data processing unit 210, balance management AP 214, step S292 in FIG. 45, storage unit 220, transaction information DB 224 in FIG. 6). Electronic money management server 200),
Location information management means (for example, storage unit 220, store DB in FIG. 47) for managing location information (for example, address, nearest station, or zip code) that can specify the location areas of the plurality of stores;
Among the usage histories managed by the usage history management unit, the location information management unit manages the stores indicated by the store identification information of the target usage histories in two different stores having the same recording medium identification information and usage date. Based on the location information, usage history determination means for determining whether or not the usage time of the usage history is abnormal (for example, the data processing unit 210, from step S2083 to step S2183 in FIG. 46, step in FIG. 55) S2083 to step S2183a, step S2083a to step S2183b in FIG. 56),
Abnormal recording that reports the recording medium identification information of the usage history on condition that the usage history is determined to be abnormal by the usage history determination means (for example, YES in steps S2183, S2183a, and S2183b) Medium notification means (for example, data processing unit 210, step S2184 in FIG. 46, FIG. 55, step S2184b in FIG. 56) ,
The usage history determination means includes a usage history group of the target usage history having the same store identification information and a continuous usage time as a group of usage history groups. It is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal with respect to the final usage history of the usage history group and the first usage history of the usage history group at a store used later (for example, steps in FIGS. 46 and 55). By the processing from S2083 to step S2086, the final usage history at the store used earlier and the first usage history at the store used later are extracted, and the processing from step S2181 to step S2183, from step S2181a By the processing up to step S2183a, it is determined whether the two usage histories are abnormal or not, and step S2 in FIG. By the processing from 83a to step S2183b, it is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal for the last usage history at the store used earlier and the first usage history at the store used later. ) On the other hand, the usage history other than the last usage history of the usage history group at the store used earlier and the usage history other than the first usage history of the usage history group at the store used later are It is not determined whether or not is abnormal.

If it is determined that the first account transfer request information has not been received (NO in step S257), the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S265.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the first account transfer request information has been received (YES in step S257), in step S258, the data processing unit 210 counts the value purchases counted for each mobile phone 100 by the value purchase count counter. It is determined whether or not the number of times is zero. That is, it is determined whether or not the charge request is transmitted from the mobile phone 100 and YES is determined in step S241 after the area securing information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S236.

  If it is determined that the number of value purchases is zero (YES in step S258), the mobile phone 100 is the first purchase of value after being registered in the electronic money game use service, and therefore an initial registration fee is collected. There is a need. Therefore, in this case, in step S259, the data processing unit 210 calculates an initial registration fee and a charge fee.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of value purchases is not zero (NO in step S258), the initial registration fee has already been collected, so the initial registration fee need not be collected. Therefore, in this case, in step S260, the data processing unit 210 calculates a charge fee.

  In this embodiment, the initial registration fee and the charge fee are calculated in steps S259 and S260, respectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the initial registration fee and the charge fee are stored in the storage unit 220 in advance. In addition, the data may be read in steps S259 and S260, respectively.

  Next, in step S261, the data processing unit 210 issues a purchase number for distinguishing the current value purchase from other value purchases. In step S262, the data processing unit 210 indicates the first account transfer request information received in step S257. The total amount of the desired purchase amount and the fee calculated in step S259 or step S260 is calculated.

  Next, in step S263, the data processing unit 210 registers the total amount calculated in step S262, the purchase number issued in step S261, and the current time stamp in the issue information DB 222 in association with the member ID. To do. In step S264, the data processing unit 210 transmits to the mobile phone 100 total amount confirmation information for displaying a total amount confirmation screen for confirming the total amount to the user.

  Returning to FIG. 15, in step S <b> 143, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not 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 causes the display unit 140 to display a total amount confirmation screen based on the total amount confirmation information.

  Proceeding to FIG. 32, FIG. 32 (c) is a total amount confirmation screen displayed in step S144. In the screen of FIG. 32 (c), a text requesting confirmation of the total amount, “confirmation” which is a link for confirming the total amount and transmitting the second account transfer request information, and the previous one “Here.”, Which is a link for returning to the purchase amount selection screen of FIG. 32B, is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 15, in step S <b> 145, the data processing unit 110 determines whether the total amount has been confirmed by the user by selecting the “confirm” link on the screen of FIG. 32C. If it is determined that the total amount has been confirmed (YES in step S145), a mobile banking confirmation screen is displayed (step S145a).

In the screen of FIG. 32 (d), a text indicating that the procedure is to be transferred to mobile banking, “confirmation” which is a link for inputting confirmation to that effect, and an initial screen at the start of FIG. 30 (b) “Cancel procedure (return to app menu screen)”, which is a link for returning to, is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 15, in step S145b, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the transition to mobile banking has been confirmed by the user by selecting the “confirm” link on the screen of FIG. To do. If it is determined that the transition to mobile banking has been confirmed (YES in step S145b), in step S146, the data processing unit 110 sends the second account transfer request information including information indicating the member ID to the electronic money management server 200. To complete the value purchase process. Thereafter, as described later, in response to the reception of the takeover screen information transmitted from the electronic money management server 200, the web processing at the time of takeover is executed.

  Proceeding to FIG. 16, in step S <b> 265, the data processing unit 210 determines whether the second account transfer request information has been received from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that the second account transfer request information has not been received (NO in step S265), the data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S269.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the second account transfer request information has been received (YES in step S265), in step S266, the data processing unit 210 compares the time stamp registered in step S263 with the current time. A stamp check is executed to determine whether there is an abnormality. For example, it is determined that there is an abnormality when the difference between the time stamp and the current time is greater than or equal to a specified time.

  If it is determined that there is an abnormality (YES in step S266), the data processing unit 210 transmits a time stamp check error screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S267.

  Proceeding to FIG. 32, FIG. 32 (e) is a time stamp check error screen transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S267. The screen in FIG. 32 (e) returns to the initial screen at start-up in FIG. 30 (b) and the text that prompts the user to redo the procedure because a certain amount of time has passed since the desired purchase amount has been selected. “Cancel procedure (return to app menu screen)” is displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 16, if it is determined that there is no abnormality (NO in step S266), the data processing unit 210 transmits, to the mobile phone 100, takeover screen information for transitioning to mobile banking in step S268. To do. In the takeover screen information, at least Internet banking of the financial institution server 500 of the financial institution identified from the financial institution information registered in association with the mobile terminal information of the mobile phone 100 retrieved and read in step S246. A URL as communication destination designation information that enables access to the system is included.

  FIG. 10B is a flowchart showing the flow of the web processing at the time of takeover among the web processing. The takeover web process is executed in response to the receipt of the takeover screen information transmitted in step S268. With reference to FIG. 10B, in step S117, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the takeover screen information is received from the electronic money management server 200. 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, by accessing the Internet banking system of the financial institution server 500 indicated by the URL included in the transfer screen information, logging in to the mobile banking account registered in advance, and performing the transfer process in step S143. A settlement request for the total amount specified from the received total amount confirmation information is transmitted to the financial institution server 500. 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. 16, 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 settlement processing 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.

  FIG. 17 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 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 17, first, in step S2700, data processing unit 210 of electronic money management server 200 registers the purchase number indicated by the breaking report received from settlement server 280 in step S269 in issue information DB 222. Determine whether or not. If it is determined that the purchase number is not registered (NO in step S2700), in step S2701, the data processing unit 210 performs error processing. 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, the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5 indicates information for specifying the amount of value (for example, “1000” when the purchase amount is 1000 yen) and indicates that the amount is uncharged. The processing status (for example, “unissued”) 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 issuing process described later with reference to FIG. 18 is executed.

With reference to FIG. 18, first, in step S151, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the processing status stored in the storage unit 120 has already been issued. As will be described later, the processing status is updated to have received the issue information in step S153a on condition that the value issue information is received from the electronic money management server 200 in step S153.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the issue information has been received (YES in step S151), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S154. On the other hand, when it is determined that the processing status is not the issue information received (NO in step S151), in step S152, the data processing unit 110 is information for requesting the charge (issuance) of value and the member ID And value issuance request information including mobile terminal information is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, as an issue operation for requesting the issue of electronic money, an operation for selecting a link of “charge of purchased value to IC chip” on the startup initial screen of FIG. Specifically, on the condition that the operation of the link as the takeover information attached to the e-mail is accepted from the user, the issuance operation is accepted from the user, and the processing status stored in the storage unit 120 is issued. On the condition that the information has not been received, value issue request information for requesting issue of electronic money is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the value issuing application program 213 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 19, first, in step S <b> 271, data processing unit 210 determines whether or not there has been a value issue request by receiving value issue request information from mobile phone 100. If it is determined that there is no value issue request (NO in step S271), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S271.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a value issuance request (YES in step S271), in step S272, the data processing unit 210 uses the member ID and mobile terminal information included in the value issuance request information received in step S271. It is determined whether or not the information registered in the person information DB 211 is usable. If it is determined that it is not usable (NO in step S272), the data processing unit 210 transmits an unusable screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S273. The unusable screen is the same screen as the screen described in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it can be used (YES in step S272), in step S274, the data processing unit 210 stores the member ID and the uncharged value corresponding to the mobile terminal information in the issue information DB 222. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that there is no uncharged value (NO in step S274), the data processing unit 210 transmits an uncharged value no screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S275. In addition, although the case where the process of step S274 and step S275 is executed in the value issuing AP 213 has been described, the present invention is not limited to this, and the value issuing AP 213 may not execute the process of step S274 and step S275. Good.

  Proceeding to FIG. 34, FIG. 34 (c) shows an uncharged value no-screen transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S275. In the screen of FIG. 34 (c), a text indicating that there is no unreceived value and “OK”, which is a link for confirming that and terminating the electronic money application 111, are displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 19, when it is determined that there is an uncharged value (YES in step S274), when it is determined that there is an uncharged value at the time of charge request (YES in step S244), and balance transfer described later If it is determined that there is an uncharged value at the time of the request (YES in step S2064), the data processing unit 210 obtains the value of the amount specified from the value purchase record of the uncharged value from the remote issue server 400 in step S277. Value issuance information for writing to the mobile phone 100 is transmitted to the mobile phone 100. The value issuance information includes at least a writable value.

  Thereby, on condition that the value issuance request is received by the determination in step S271, the value of the value managed in the value purchase record of the issuance information DB is further associated with the member ID included in the value issuance request information. On the condition that the processing status (issuance status) is not yet issued, an uncharged value identified from the value purchase record (identification information) corresponding to the member ID registered in the issuance information DB 222 is sent to the value issuance request. A means for outputting for transmission to the original mobile phone 100 is configured.

  Returning to FIG. 18, in step S <b> 153, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not value issue information has been received from the electronic money management server 200. When it is determined that the value issue information has been received (YES in step S153), in step S153a, the data processing unit 110 indicates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120, and the issue information has been received (data received). Update to Since the processing status after the issue information has been received is before the processing status is updated to written in step S157a, which will be described later, this corresponds to the processing status where the value has not been written.

  In step S153b, the data processing unit 110 transmits reception response information for notifying the electronic money management server 200 that the value issue information has been received, to the electronic money management server 200.

  Proceeding to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 278, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not reception response information has been received from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that the reception response information has not been received (NO in step S278), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S278. On the other hand, if it is determined that the reception response information has been received (YES in step S278), in step S279, the data processing unit 210 updates the processing status of the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5 to issued. That is, the processing status is updated to “issued” on condition that the value issuance information is transmitted in step S277. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S271.

  Returning to FIG. 18, next, in step S <b> 154, the data processing unit 110 adds the value specified from the value issue information to the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190.

  Returning to FIG. 1, the remote issuing server 400 transmits value write execution information to the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information included in the write process start request information. The value write execution information is stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the contactless IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 in the amount indicated by the value issue amount information included in the write process start request information. This is information for storing value.

  Specifically, the remote issuance server 400 includes a writing status storage unit that stores a writing status of value, and the writing status storage unit includes a purchase number and a mobile phone included in the write processing start request. Terminal information is stored in association with each other, and an area for storing a flag indicating whether or not the value has been written is provided.

  Then, when receiving the write process start request from the mobile phone 100, the remote issuing server 400 determines whether or not the purchase number and the mobile terminal information included in the write process start request are stored in the write status storage unit. In addition to the determination, if it is stored, it is further determined whether or not the corresponding flag has been written.

  In this determination, if it is determined that the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are not stored, or stored but the corresponding flag has not been written, that is, the writing status storage unit (writing status management means) If the management status in () is unwritten, value write execution information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are stored and the corresponding flag has been written, that is, the management status in the writing status storage unit (writing status management means) is written. If it has been completed, the value writing execution information is not transmitted. When it is determined that the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are not stored, the purchase number and the mobile terminal information are newly stored in the write status storage unit, and management of the write status is started.

  Proceeding to FIG. 18, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the value writing execution information is received from the remote issuing server 400 in step S155. If it is determined that the value writing execution information has been received (YES in step S155), in step S156, the data processing unit 110 performs the writing process indicated by the value writing execution information received from the remote issuing server 400. Run. In the writing process, the value indicated by the value issue amount information indicating the amount of value specified from the value issue information is written in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. It is processing of.

  Specifically, in this writing process, the mobile phone 100 transmits, to the remote issue server 400, the value of the amount indicated by the value issue amount information that is the write data by the electronic money application 111. The remote issuing server 400 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 without using the electronic money application 111 and writes the value received from the mobile phone 100 into the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. That is, the remote issuance server 400 indicates that the writing status in the writing status storage unit of the value corresponding to the write processing start request is unwritten (the purchase number or the like is not stored, or the flag is written The controller 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is instructed to write the value (issued value) indicated in the value issue information (transmits the write instruction information). In response to this, the control unit 191 writes a value in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 (that is, the control unit 191 constitutes a data write execution unit). In this case, when the value has already been stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service of the storage unit 192, a process of writing the value of the amount obtained by adding the issued value to the already stored value is performed. Such processing also corresponds to writing of issued value. When the value writing is completed, the remote issuing server 400 transmits the writing end information to the mobile phone 100.

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured such that the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 writes the issued value in accordance with an instruction from the remote issuing server 400 without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money application 111 may instruct the control unit 191 to write the issued value in response to receiving the write instruction information from the remote issuing server 400.

  The remote issuing server 400 also purchases the value included in the write processing start request transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S154 on the condition that the value has been written in the storage area for the electronic money game use service. The processing status of the value is stored as having been written.

  That is, the remote issuance server 400 has the value for which writing is instructed by the write instruction information on condition that the write instruction information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 (the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190). The flag stored in the writing status storage unit in association with the purchase number is updated to a state indicating written.

  The data processing unit 110 transmits a write request signal to the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and the control unit 191 writes the value in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192. May be included. In this case, a process of transmitting a write request signal from the data processing unit 110 to the control unit 191 corresponds to a process for adding value.

  Further, the remote issuing server 400 and the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 communicate with each other via the antenna 194, and the control unit 191 writes the value in the area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192. There may be. In this case, the process of transmitting the write process start request information from the data processing unit 110 to the remote issuing server 400 in step S154 corresponds to a process for adding value.

  Next, in step S157, the data processing unit 110 receives the write end information from the remote issuing server 400, and determines whether the write process has ended. If it is determined that the writing process has been completed (YES in step S157), in step S157a, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 to the written state.

  The data processing unit 110 is not limited to receiving the write end information from the remote issuing server 400 and updating the processing status in this way. For example, the data processing unit 110 receives the write end signal from the control unit 191 and The processing status may be updated based on the above. That is, the processing status may be updated to data written on condition that processing for writing electronic money (data) to the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is executed.

  Next, in step S158, the data processing unit 110 acquires the value balance from the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and displays the value issue completion screen on the display unit 140. Display.

  Proceeding to FIG. 34, the screen of FIG. 34D is a value issuance completion screen displayed in step S158. In the screen of FIG. 34 (d), the same chip ID as in the screen of FIG. 29 (b), a sentence indicating that charging of the value is completed, the current charge amount is 1000 yen, and the value balance after charging is It is 11000 yen, and precautions when using value are displayed.

  Returning to FIG. 18, in step S159a, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not a confirmation operation has been performed on the value issuance completion screen. If it is determined that a confirmation operation has been performed (YES in step S159a), in step S159b, the data processing unit 110 causes the display unit 140 to display the startup initial screen described with reference to FIG. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 14, in step S1982, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has already been issued information updated in step S153a in FIG.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the issue information has been received (YES in step S1982), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S154 of the value issuance process in FIG. As a result, the data processing unit 110 receives the value issuance information in step S153, but if the value cannot be written due to a communication failure or the like in the exchange with the remote issuance server 400 from step S154 to step S157, the data processing unit 110 again Without sending the value issuance request information to the electronic money management server 200 in step S152, the write processing start request is sent to the remote issuance server 400 in step S154.

  Specifically, after updating the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 in step S153a to have been issued, the communication with the remote issuance server 400 is disconnected before the value writing is completed, and the user When the activation operation of the electronic money application 111 is performed from the screen shown in FIG. 30A, all of steps S120, S180, S1100, S1110, and S191 are performed in the processing of the electronic money application 111 shown in FIG. It is determined as NO, and the processing status confirmation processing in step S198 is executed.

  Then, in step S1982 of the processing status confirmation processing shown in FIG. 14, it is determined that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has already been issued, and the processing goes through step S152 (transmission of value issuance request information) in FIG. Without proceeding to step S154, a write processing start request (write request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400. That is, in this case, accepting an activation operation of the electronic money application 111 from the user corresponds to accepting an issue operation for requesting the issue of electronic money.

  In addition, when communication with the remote issuing server 400 is disconnected as described above, and a link operation as takeover information attached to the e-mail is accepted from the user as the issuing operation, FIG. In the process of the electronic money application 111 shown, YES is determined in step S191, and the value issuance process in step S150 is executed.

  Then, in step S151 of the value issuance processing shown in FIG. 18, it is determined that the processing status managed by the storage unit 120 has already been issued, and the process goes through step S152 (transmission of value issuance request information). In step S154, the write processing start request (write request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400.

  Thereby, in the electronic money management server 200, the value issue request information is transmitted again even though the processing status (issue status) of the issue information DB 222 is updated to issued in step S279, and the electronic money management server 200 Since the processing status in is already issued, it is possible to avoid the inconvenience that the issue request is not accepted, the subsequent write process cannot be performed, and the value cannot be written.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing status is not the issue information has been received (NO in step S1982), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1983. The processing after step S1983 will be described later.

The return value writing process is a process for writing the value indicated by the value return execution information in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190.

  Specifically, in this return value writing process, the mobile phone 100 transmits the value of the amount indicated by the deposit balance information, which is write data, to the remote issuing server 400 by the electronic money application 111. The remote issuing server 400 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 without using the electronic money application, and writes the value received from the mobile phone 100 into the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. That is, the remote issuing server 400 instructs the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 to write the value (return value) of the amount indicated by the deposit balance information (sends return instruction information), and Accordingly, the control unit 191 writes a value in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 (that is, the control unit 191 constitutes a data return execution unit). In this case, when the value is already stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service of the storage unit 192, a process of writing the value of the amount obtained by adding the return value to the already stored value is performed. Such processing also corresponds to writing return value. When the value writing ends, the remote issue server 400 transmits return value writing end information to the mobile phone 100.

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured such that the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 writes the return value in response to an instruction from the remote issuing server 400 without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money application 111 may instruct the control unit 191 to write the return value in response to receiving the return instruction information from the remote issuing server 400.

  In addition, the remote issue server 400 has the mobile terminal information included in the value return process start request transmitted from the mobile phone 100 in step S1721 on the condition that the value is written in the storage area for the electronic money game use service. Correspondingly, the processing status of the value is stored as having been returned.

  The data processing unit 110 transmits a return value write request signal to the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and the control unit 191 stores the value in the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192. May be written. In this case, the process of transmitting the return value write request signal from the data processing unit 110 to the control unit 191 corresponds to the process for adding value.

  Next, in step S <b> 1724, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the return value writing process has ended by receiving return value writing end information from the remote issuing server 400. If it is determined that the return value writing process has been completed (YES in step S1724), in step S1724a, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 to returned. Next, in step S1725, the data processing unit 110 acquires the value balance from the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190, and displays a return completion screen on the display unit 140.

  If it is determined that the processing status is that the return information has been received (YES in step S1984), data processing unit 110 advances the process to be executed to step S1721 of the value return process in FIG. Thereby, the data processing unit 110 receives the value return information in step S1715. However, if the value cannot be returned due to a communication failure or the like in the exchange with the remote issuing server 400 from step S1721 to step S1724, the data processing unit 110 again. Without sending the balance return request information to the electronic money management server 200 in step S1702, a value return process start request is sent to the remote issuing server 400 in step S1721.

  Specifically, after updating the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 in step S1716 to have received the return information, communication with the remote issuing server 400 is disconnected before the return of the value is completed, and the user When the activation operation of the electronic money application 111 is performed from the screen shown in FIG. 30A, all of steps S120, S180, S1100, S1110, and S191 are performed in the processing of the electronic money application 111 shown in FIG. It is determined as NO, and the processing status confirmation processing in step S198 is executed.

  Then, in step S1984 of the processing status confirmation processing shown in FIG. 14, it is determined that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 has been received return information, and the processing goes through step S1714 (transmission of return execution information) in FIG. In step S1721, the value return process start request (return request information) is transmitted to the remote issuing server 400. That is, in this case, accepting an activation operation of the electronic money application 111 from the user corresponds to accepting a return operation for requesting the return of electronic money.

  Thereby, in the electronic money management server 200, the balance return request information is transmitted again in spite of the fact that the processing status (return status) of the user information DB 221 has been updated in step S2274, and the electronic money management server Since the processing status at 200 has already been returned, the balance return request is not accepted, the subsequent return value writing process cannot be performed, and the inconvenience that the return of value cannot be received can be avoided.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing status is not the return information received (NO in step S1984), the data processing unit 110 returns the process to be executed to the electronic money application 111 that is the process that called the process.

Run. Since the processing from step S661 to step S663 is the same as the processing from step S361 to step S363 of the ticketing process in FIG. 39, 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. 11, the description thereof will not be repeated.

  FIG. 45 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of the balance management application program 214 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 45, 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. As will be described later in step S814 in FIG. 50, this transaction information includes the transaction amount, transaction date, transaction time, device ID used for the transaction, and store ID where the transaction was performed, for each mobile terminal information. It is. When the transaction information is received (YES in step S291), the data processing unit 210 performs transaction from the value balance stored in the issue information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information included in the transaction information in step S292. Subtract the transaction amount included in the information. Further, the transaction amount included in the transaction information is added to the transaction amount stored in the issuance information DB 222 corresponding to the mobile terminal information included in the transaction information. In addition, a usage history including a usage date, a usage time, a store ID, a device ID, and a transaction amount included in the transaction information is added to the column of the transaction information DB 224 corresponding to the mobile terminal information included in the transaction information. Here, the use history is added in order from the oldest use date and use time.

  After step S292, in step S293, the data processing unit 210 executes history determination processing. The history determination process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 46 is a flowchart showing the flow of history determination processing which is a subroutine of the balance management application program 214 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 46, first, in step S2081, the data processing unit 210 sets the first mobile terminal information usage history group among the usage history groups for each mobile terminal information included in the transaction information DB 224 as the target usage history group. And

  Next, in step S2082, the data processing unit 210 initializes the variable n to 1. In step S <b> 2083, the data processing unit 210 extracts the nth usage history from the transaction information DB 224 in the usage history updated this time from the target usage history group. Further, in step S2084, the data processing unit 210 extracts from the transaction information DB 224 the usage history at the usage time immediately before the usage history extracted in step S2083.

  Next, in step S2085, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not the usage dates of the two usage histories extracted in step S2083 and step S2084 match. If it is determined that they do not match (NO in step S2085), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2186.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the usage dates of the two usage histories match (YES in step S2085), in step S2086, the data processing unit 210 determines that the store IDs of the two usage histories extracted in steps S2083 and S2084 are the same. Determine whether they match. If it is determined that they match (YES in step S2086), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2186.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the store IDs of the two usage histories do not match (NO in step S2086), in step S2181, the data processing unit 210 stores the store IDs indicated by the store IDs of the two usage histories from the store DB. Identify your location.

  FIG. 47 is a diagram for explaining a store database stored in the electronic money management server in the present embodiment. 47, in the store DB, the store zip code, the store address, and the nearest station of the store are stored in association with the store ID. Here, the zip code, address, and nearest station are stored, but at least one of them may be stored.

  Thereby, the electronic money management server 200 can easily search for the zip code, the address, and the nearest station corresponding to the store ID based on the store ID.

  In FIG. 47, for example, “00001”, “00002”, and “00003” as store IDs, “150-0011”, “160-0000”, and “530-0005” as postal codes, and “530-0005” as addresses. “Shibuya-ku Koto 1-chome 2-3”, “Shinjuku-ku Oto 2-chome 3-4” and “Osaka Prefecture Osaka City Kita-ku Sakai 3-chome 4-5”, “Shibuya Station” “Shinjuku Station” and “Osaka Station” are stored.

  FIG. 48 is a map showing the location of stores included in the store database stored in the electronic money management server in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 48, store 30A is a store with store ID “00001” in the store DB. Similarly, the stores 30B and 30C are stores with store IDs “00002” and “00003” in the store DB.

  Referring back to FIG. 46, in step S2181, the data processing unit 210 was subsequently used from the location of the store indicated by the store IDs of the two specified use histories from the location of the store used earlier. Identify the estimated travel time to the store location.

  As a method for specifying the estimated travel time between locations, for example, the travel time between the nearest stations of the stores indicated by the store IDs of the two usage histories is calculated, and the required time between the stations from the train operator's diagram is calculated. By using software and identifying the travel time from the store address indicated by the store ID in the two usage histories to the nearest station, dividing the linear distance on the map by the standard walking speed (for example, 4 km / h) It can be calculated by calculating and adding each of them. Moreover, you may make it specify the estimated moving time between locations using the technique of patent 2766032, for example.

  In step S2182, the data processing unit 210 adds the estimated travel time specified in step S2181 to the use time of the use history of the store used earlier among the stores indicated by the store IDs of the two use histories. By doing so, the estimated arrival time at the store used later is calculated.

  Next, in step S2183, the data processing unit 210 uses the usage time of the store usage history used after the store indicated by the store IDs of the two usage histories before the estimated arrival time calculated in step S2182. It is determined whether or not. If it is determined that the later use time is not before the estimated arrival time (NO in step S2183), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2186.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the later use time is before the estimated arrival time (YES in step S2183), in step S2184, the data processing unit 210 and the mobile terminal information of the target use history group and the two uses The store ID of the history and the fact that an abnormality has occurred are notified. As the notification, for example, the data processing unit 210 causes the display unit 240 to display the mobile terminal information, the two store IDs, and the characters “abnormality occurred”.

  Furthermore, in step S2185, the data processing unit 210 transmits use stop information for instructing to stop the use of the value in the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information to the store servers 800 of all stores. To do. The use suspension information includes mobile terminal information as described in step S315 of FIG.

  In step S2186, the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is a next usage history in the target usage history group. If it is determined that there is the next usage history (YES in step S2186), in step S2187, the data processing unit 210 adds 1 to the variable n, and returns the process to be executed to step S2083.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no next usage history (NO in step S2186), in step S2188, the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is a usage history group of the next mobile terminal information. If it is determined that there is a use history group of the next mobile terminal information (YES in step S2188), in step S2189, the data processing unit 210 sets the use history group of the next mobile terminal information as the target use history group. The process to be executed is returned to step S2082.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no use history group for the next mobile terminal information (NO in step S2188), data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to balance management AP 214 that is the caller of this history determination process.

  Returning to FIG. 6, for example, the case where the use history group of the mobile terminal information “MN7RE” is set as the target use history group in step S2081 or step S2189 will be described. If the usage histories updated this time are four usage histories from “10:30:30” to “12:15:00” of “November 22, 2006”, when n = 2, step In S2083, the use date “November 22, 2006”, the use time “12:00:00”, the store time “12:00”, the store ID “00001”, which is the n = 2nd use history updated this time in the target use history group, the device The ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224. In step S2084, the usage date “November 22, 2006”, the usage time “10:30:30”, and the store ID “00002”, which are usage histories immediately before the usage history extracted in step S2083. , The device ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224.

  In step S2085, it is determined that the usage dates of the two usage histories are “November 22, 2006”, and they match, and in step S2086, the store IDs of the two usage histories are “00001” and “00002”, respectively. It is judged not to. In step S2181, the addresses of the store used earlier and the store used later are “2-3-4 Shinjuku-ku Oto 2-chome” and “1-2 1-3 Ko-shibu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo,” respectively. It is specified that the nearest stations are “Shinjuku Station” and “Shibuya Station”, respectively. Next, if the straight line distance on the map from the address of the store used ahead of the store ID “00002” to “Shinjuku Station” of the nearest station is 0.4 km, the straight line distance is determined based on the standard walking speed. By dividing by 4km per hour, the travel time from the previously used store to “Shinjuku Station” is calculated as 6 minutes, and from the nearest station “Shibuya Station” of the used store to the store address If the straight line distance on the map is 0.6 km, the travel time from “Shibuya Station” to the store used later is calculated as 9 minutes. The time required from “Shinjuku Station” to “Shibuya Station” is specified as 7 minutes using the software to be calculated, and by adding each, the store used after the location of the store used earlier Estimated travel time to your location, for example It is identified as 22 minutes ". Next, in step S2182, the estimated travel time “22 minutes” is added to the use time “10:30: 00” of the use history of the store used earlier, and the estimated arrival time at the store used later is “ 10:52:00 ". In this case, it is determined in step S2183 that the use time “12: 00: 00: 00” of the use history of the store used later is not before the estimated arrival time “10:52:00”. Not an abnormality, notification of the occurrence of abnormality in step S2184 and transmission of usage stop information in step S2185 are not performed.

  FIG. 49 is a diagram for explaining a case where the usage history of the transaction information database 224 of the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment is abnormal. With reference to FIG. 49, for example, a case where the use history group of the mobile terminal information “LM6QD” is set as the target use history group in step S2081 or step S2189 will be described. If the usage history updated this time is four usage histories from “10:30:30” to “12:15:00” of “November 23, 2006”, when n = 2, In S2083, the usage date “November 23, 2006”, the usage time “12:00:00”, the shop ID “00001”, which is the n = 2nd usage history updated this time in the target usage history group, the device ID The ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224. In step S2084, the usage date “November 23, 2006”, the usage time “10:30:30”, and the store ID “00003”, which are usage histories immediately before the usage history extracted in step S2083. , The device ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224.

  In step S2085, it is determined that the usage dates of the two usage histories are “November 23, 2006”, and they match, and in step S2086, the store IDs of the two usage histories are “00001” and “00003”, respectively. It is judged not to. In step S2181, the addresses of the store used earlier and the store used later are “3-4-5 Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka” and “1-3 2-3 Ko, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo”, respectively. Yes, it is specified that the nearest stations are “Osaka Station” and “Shibuya Station”, respectively, and the estimated travel time from the location of the store used earlier to the location of the store used later is, for example, “3 hours 30 minutes ". Next, in step S2182, the estimated travel time “3 hours 30 minutes” is added to the use time “10:30:30” of the use history of the store used earlier, and the estimated arrival time at the store used later Is calculated as “14:00:00”. In this case, in step S2183, it is determined that the use time “12:00” of the use history of the store used later is before the estimated arrival time “14:00”, so the use history is Abnormality is notified, the occurrence of abnormality is notified in step S2184, and the use stop information is transmitted in step S2185.

  Returning to FIG. 45, after step S293 or when determining that the transaction information has not been received (NO in step S291), the data processing unit 210 calculates the transaction amount from the accumulated charge amount in step S281. It is determined whether or not the subtracted amount has a negative member ID.

  If it is determined that there is a member ID with a minus amount obtained by subtracting the transaction amount from the accumulated charge (in the case of YES in step S281), in step S282, the data processing unit 210 adds the number of frauds of the member ID once. To do.

  After step S282, or when it is determined that there is no member ID having a minus amount obtained by subtracting the transaction amount from the accumulated charge (in the case of NO in step S281), in step S283, the data processing unit 210 determines that the number of frauds It is determined whether or not there is one member ID.

  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 and 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. 50 is a flowchart showing a flow of store server processing executed by store server 800 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 50, 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 executes store history determination processing in step S812. The store history determination process will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 51 is a flowchart showing a flow of a store history determination process that is a subroutine of the store server process executed by the store server 800 in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 51, first, in step S831, the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the card ID, ticket issue, and ball rental of the issued prepaid card 371 for each mobile terminal information included in the received transaction information. The amount of cash used, ticketing, value used for ball rental, ticketing, ball rental usage date, ticketing, ball rental usage time, and device ID of the ticket issuing machine 300 or ball rental card unit 600, respectively. Corresponding information is stored in the in-store transaction information DB of the storage unit as a use history.

  Next, in step S832, the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the mobile terminal information that is the same as the mobile terminal information included in the received transaction information, and uses the previous use time of the received transaction information. The history is extracted from the in-store transaction information DB.

  In step S833, the data processing unit of store server 800 determines whether or not the device IDs included in the received transaction information and the transaction information extracted in step S832 match. If it is determined that they match (YES in step S833), the data processing unit of the store server 800 returns the process to be executed to the store server process that called the store history determination process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the device IDs do not match (NO in step S833), in step S834, the data processing unit of the store server 800 is included in each of the received transaction information and the transaction information extracted in step S832. It is determined whether the difference in use time is within 1 minute 30 seconds of the reference time. For this reference time, for example, with the card unit 600, a single ball lending with a value equivalent to 500 yen pays out 125 pachinko balls, and the pachinko machine 700 can fire 100 pachinko balls per minute. In this case, it takes a minimum of 1 minute and 15 seconds to fire all the pachinko balls paid out by one ball lending, and this takes into account the movement time of the player to another pachinko machine 700 1 minute 30 seconds.

  FIG. 52 is a diagram showing a layout of a card unit 600, a pachinko gaming machine 700, and a seat installed in the game arcade 30A in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 52, the reference time is not limited to a fixed reference time such as 1 minute and 30 seconds, but may be a reference time according to the moving distance. Specifically, first, the number of gaming machine islands in which the card unit 600 indicated by the device IDs of the received transaction information and the transaction information extracted in step S832 is installed is identified, and then When game machine islands are separated by n islands, the reference time may be calculated from an equation such as 1 minute 15 seconds + (n + 1) × 15 seconds. For example, the gaming machine island including seats 710A to 710D and the gaming machine island including seats 710E to 710L are separated by one island, so the reference time is 1 minute 15 seconds + (1 + 1) X15 seconds = 1 minute 45 seconds.

  Returning to FIG. 51, when it is determined that the difference in use time is within the reference time (YES in step S834), in step S835, the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the received transaction information and step S832. It is determined whether the seat corresponding to the card unit 600 indicated by the device ID included in each of the extracted transaction information is adjacent.

  Proceeding to FIG. 52, in the present embodiment, the term “adjacent” means that one is adjacent to the left and right. For example, seats adjacent to the seat 710B are assumed to be seats 710A and 710C. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the adjoining may be an arrangement relationship of seats where one mobile phone 100 can be easily shared. For example, back-to-back seats may be included. In this case, the back-to-back seat of the seat 710B is the seat 710F. Further, two or more adjacent seats on the left and right sides may be included, or a diagonally rear seat may be included.

  Returning to FIG. 51, if it is determined that the seat is adjacent (YES in step S835), the data processing unit of the store server 800 displays the mobile terminal of the received transaction information on the display unit of the store server 800 in step S836. Information, the received transaction information, and the two device IDs of the transaction information extracted in step S832, and the arrangement corresponding to the card unit 600 indicated by the device ID can be easily shared with one mobile phone 100 The fact that it is a relationship is displayed. After step S836, the data processing unit of the store server 800 returns the process to be executed to the store server process that has called the store history determination process.

  If it is determined that the difference in use time is not within the reference time (NO in step S834), in step S841, the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the same mobile terminal information as the device ID included in the received transaction information and It is determined whether the usage history of the device ID is included in the usage history of the usage time within the predetermined time from the usage time included in the received transaction information among the usage history stored in the in-store transaction information DB. . In the present embodiment, the predetermined time is 8 minutes.

  When it is determined that the usage history of the same portable terminal information and device ID is within a predetermined time (YES in step S841), in step S842, the data processing unit of the store server 800 includes the device included in the received transaction information. Use of usage time within a predetermined time period from the usage time included in the received transaction information, among the usage history stored in the in-store transaction information DB, with a set of usage history of different device IDs with the same mobile terminal information as the ID It is determined whether or not it is included in the history.

  When it is determined that the usage history of the same mobile terminal information and device ID is not within the predetermined time (NO in step S841), and the set of usage history of different device IDs with the same mobile terminal information is not within the predetermined time If it is determined (NO in step S842), the data processing unit of the store server 800 returns the process to be executed to the store server process that called the store history determination process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the seats are not adjacent (NO in step S835), or when it is determined that a set of usage histories of different device IDs with the same mobile terminal information is within a predetermined time (NO in step S842) ), In step S843, the data processing unit of the store server 800 has detected an abnormality with the mobile device information of the received transaction information, the received transaction information, and the two device IDs of the transaction information extracted in step S832. Display the effect. Further, in step S844, the data processing unit of the store server 800 takes a control signal for photographing the seat corresponding to the two device IDs of the received transaction information and the transaction information extracted in step S832 with the camera in the game hall 30. Is output to the control device of the camera in the game hall 30. After step S844, the data processing unit of the store server 800 returns the process to be executed to the store server process that has called the store history determination process.

  Proceeding to FIG. 52, for example, it is assumed that the device IDs of the card units 600A, 600B, and 600L of the game hall 30A with the store ID “00001” are “0001”, “0002”, and “0039”, respectively.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the transaction information received in step S811 is the mobile terminal information “MN7RE”, the usage date “November 22, 2006”, the usage time “12:05:00”, the store ID “00001”, and the device ID. If the transaction information is “0002” and transaction amount “500” yen, in step S832, the use date “2006” which is the use history of the previous use time with the same mobile terminal information “MN7RE” as the received transaction information. Usage history of “November 22”, usage time “12:00:00”, store ID “00001”, device ID “0001” and transaction amount “500” yen is extracted.

  In step S833, it is determined that the device IDs of the received transaction information and the extracted usage history are “0002” and “0001”, respectively. In step S835, the usage times are “12:05:00” and Since it is “12:00: 00”, it is determined that the use time is not within 1 minute and 30 seconds. Usage history of certain mobile terminal information “MN7RE”, usage date “November 22, 2006”, usage time “12:15:00”, store ID “00001”, device ID “0002” and transaction amount “500” yen However, since the difference in usage time is 10 minutes and not within the predetermined time of 8 minutes, nothing is done and the store wears Determination process is completed.

  FIG. 53 is a first diagram for illustrating a case where the use history of the in-store transaction information database of store server 800 in the present embodiment is abnormal. Referring to FIG. 53, the transaction information received in step S811 is mobile terminal information “KL5PC”, usage date “November 24, 2006”, usage time “12:01:00”, store ID “00001”, device If the transaction information is ID “0001” and transaction amount “500” yen, in step S832, the usage date “2006” which is the usage history of the previous usage time with the same mobile terminal information “KL5PC” as the received transaction information. Use history of “November 24,” usage time “12:00:00”, store ID “00001”, device ID “0039” and transaction amount “500” yen is extracted.

  In step S833, it is determined that the device IDs of the received transaction information and the extracted usage history are “0001” and “0039”, respectively. In step S835, the usage times are “12:01:00” and “ Since it is “12:00: 00”, it is determined that the use time is within 1 minute 30 seconds. In step S835, the seats corresponding to the received transaction information and the extracted use history device ID are the seat 700A and the seat ID, respectively. Since it is seat 700L and it is determined that the seats are not adjacent to each other, the usage history is abnormal, and the occurrence of abnormality in step S843 and the output of a control signal for photographing the two seats in step S844 are performed. .

  Further, the transaction information received in step S811 includes the mobile terminal information “KL5PC”, the usage date “November 24, 2006”, the usage time “12:01:30”, the store ID “00001”, the device ID “0002”, and If the transaction information is “500” yen transaction information, in step S832, the usage date “November 24, 2006” is the usage history of the previous usage time with the same mobile terminal information “KL5PC” as the received transaction information. ”, Usage time“ 12:01:00 ”, store ID“ 00001 ”, device ID“ 0001 ”, and transaction amount“ 500 ”yen usage history are extracted.

  In step S833, it is determined that the received transaction information and the extracted usage history device IDs are “0002” and “0001”, respectively, and in step S835, the usage times are “12:01:30” and Since it is “12:01:00”, it is determined that the usage time is within 1 minute 30 seconds, and in step S835, the seats corresponding to the received transaction information and the extracted usage history device ID are the seat 700B and the seat 700B, respectively. Since it is seat 700A and it is determined that the seat is adjacent, it cannot be determined that the usage history is abnormal, and a notification that mobile phone 100 is sharable is issued in step S836.

  FIG. 54 is a second diagram for illustrating a case where the use history of the in-store transaction information database of store server 800 in the present embodiment is abnormal. Referring to FIG. 54, the transaction information received in step S811 is mobile terminal information “JK4OB”, usage date “November 25, 2006”, usage time “12:02:00”, store ID “00001”, device If the transaction information is the ID “0039” and the transaction amount “500” yen, in step S832, the use date “2006” which is the use history of the previous use time with the same mobile terminal information “JK4OB” as the received transaction information. The usage history of “November 25,”, usage time “12:00:00”, store ID “00001”, device ID “0001”, and transaction amount “500” yen is extracted.

  In step S833, it is determined that the device IDs of the received transaction information and the extracted usage history are “0039” and “0001”, respectively. In step S835, the usage times are “12:02:00” and “ Since it is “12:00”, it is determined that the use time is not within 1 minute 30 seconds. In step S841, the use history of the mobile terminal information “JK4OB” and the device ID “0039” that are the same as the received transaction information is used. Usage history of certain mobile terminal information “JK4OB”, usage date “November 25, 2006”, usage time “12:06:00”, store ID “00001”, device ID “0039” and transaction amount “500” yen However, it is determined that the difference in usage time is 4 minutes and within a predetermined time of 8 minutes, and in step S842 , Mobile terminal information “JK4OB”, usage date “November 25, 2006”, usage time “ 12: 00: 00: 00, store ID “00001”, device ID “0001” and transaction amount “500” yen usage history, mobile terminal information “JK4OB”, usage date “November 25, 2006”, usage The usage history of the time “12:04:00”, the store ID “00001”, the device ID “0001”, and the transaction amount “500” yen is a predetermined time from the usage time “12:02:00” of the received transaction information. Since it is within 8 minutes, the usage history is abnormal, the notification of the occurrence of abnormality in step S843 and the output of control signals for photographing the two seats in step S844. Is performed.

  Returning to FIG. 50, after step S812 or when it is determined that the transaction information has not been received (NO in step S811), the data processing unit of the store server 800 performs the electronic money management server in step S813. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the transaction information was transmitted to 200 last time. 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 the transaction information (YES in step S813), the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the mobile phone 100 after the previous transmission stored in the storage unit in step S814. Is sent to the electronic money management server 200. This transaction information includes at least a transaction amount for each mobile terminal information, a transaction date, a transaction time, a device ID used for the transaction, and a store ID for identifying the store.

  After step S814 or when it is determined that a predetermined time has not elapsed since the previous transmission of transaction information (NO in step S813), the data processing unit of the store server 800 obtains 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 the 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 it is determined that the unauthorized medium information has not been received (NO in step S825), the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the suspension information from the electronic money management server 200 in step S827. Is received.

  If it is determined that the use suspension information has been received (YES in step S827), in step S828, the data processing unit of the store server 800 uses the received use suspension information for all the ticket vending machines 300 and cards in the game hall 30. Send to unit 600.

  After step S828 or when it is determined that usage stop information has not been received (NO in step S827), the data processing unit of store server 800 returns the process to be executed to step S811.

(Explanation of error handling in the electronic money system 10)
As described in step S156 of FIG. 18, when the value writing process is completed, the value processing status (writing status) in the remote issuing server 400 is determined to be completed. Further, as described in step S157a, the value processing status in the mobile phone 100 is updated to written. However, if the mobile phone 100 fails to update the processing status in step S157a, the processing status of the mobile phone 100 remains received, that is, it has not been written, while the processing status of the remote issuing server 400 is written. It is finished. In this way, a mismatch occurs between the processing states of the two, and inconvenience occurs in the subsequent processing.

  For example, in the case of the present embodiment, when the electronic money application 111 is activated on the mobile phone 100 without matching, it is determined in step S1982 of the processing status confirmation processing of step S198 that the processing status has already been received. Then, the process proceeds to step S154 in FIG. 18, and a write process start request is transmitted to the remote issuing server including the purchase number of the value. However, in the remote issue server 400, the value of the purchase number included in the write process start request transmitted from the mobile phone 100 is already managed as having been written, so this write process start request is accepted. Absent.

  Therefore, the writing process start request is repeatedly transmitted from the mobile phone 100 every time the electronic money application 111 is activated, but cannot be received by the remote issuing server 400, and therefore other processes cannot be executed by the mobile phone 100. Problem occurs. Further, if the next charge request can be transmitted to the electronic money management server 200 on condition that the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100 has been written, If the update of the status to the written state fails, there arises a problem that charging is impossible at all thereafter.

  When such a processing state mismatch error occurs, the user informs the operator of the provider of electronic money game use service that the above-described error has occurred by telephone or email. contact.

  When the operator of the electronic money game use service provider in the present embodiment receives an error inquiry from the user by telephone or e-mail, the operator inquires the user of the e-mail address of the mobile phone 100, and The e-mail address of the telephone 100 is acquired.

  Next, the operator transmits an error handling start mail to the acquired e-mail address of the user's mobile phone 100. An error explanation page URL describing the error is attached to the error handling start mail.

  When the link to the error explanation page included in the error handling start mail is operated, the data processing unit 110 acquires the error explanation screen of the URL linked to the error explanation page and displays it on the display unit 140. The error explanation screen includes an explanation about the error and includes link information operated to activate the electronic money application 111. By selecting the link information, the data processing unit 110 activates the electronic money application 111.

  Returning to FIG. 11, in step S <b> 1100, the data processing unit 110 determines that the electronic money application 111 is activated from the error explanation screen. In step S <b> 1101, the data processing unit 110 determines that the non-contact type IC chip 190 is active. The storage content such as the value balance of the storage area for the electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 is acquired, and the acquired storage content and the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 are sent to the electronic money management server 200. Send. Thereafter, the data processing unit 110 ends the electronic money application 111.

  The electronic money management server 200 that has received the storage content and processing status of the storage unit 192 from the mobile phone 100 displays the received information on the display unit 240. That is, the electronic money management server 200 performs processing for displaying the acquired processing status on the display unit 240 as processing based on the processing status acquired from the mobile phone 100. The operator who confirms the display contents inquires the administrator of the remote issuing server 400 about the processing status (writing status) regarding the value of the mobile phone 100 in the remote issuing server 400.

  Then, for example, if the processing status acquired from the mobile phone 100 has been issued and the reply from the administrator of the remote issuing server 400 has been written, the operator can update the processing status on the mobile phone 100. Recognize that a failure has occurred. Further, when more careful is taken, it may be further confirmed whether or not the acquired value balance matches the value balance managed by the electronic money management server 200. If both value balances match, it can be confirmed that the value has been written in the mobile phone 100.

  After such confirmation, based on the operator's operation, the electronic money management server 200 transmits to the mobile phone 100 an electronic mail attached with link information operated to activate the electronic money application 111 and clear the processing status.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, an e-mail attached with the link information as described above is transmitted as update instruction information for updating the processing status stored in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100. Although an example is shown, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money management server 200 transmits update instruction information for instructing update of the processing status to the data processing unit 110 of the mobile phone 100, and a link by the user The processing status may be updated based on reception of the update instruction information without an operation or the like.

  When the link information attached to the e-mail is selected and operated in the mobile phone 100 that has received the e-mail, the electronic money application 111 is activated, and YES is determined in step S1110 of the process shown in FIG. Made.

  If YES is determined in step S <b> 1110, in step S <b> 1111, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the electronic money application 111 is activated for the first time by operating the link information of the error handling completion mail. Specifically, it is determined whether it is the first time by determining whether the state of the operation flag indicating whether the link information of the error handling completion mail has been operated is on or off. .

  If it is determined that the operation flag is on, that is, the activation from the error handling completion mail is not the first time (NO in step S1111), the data processing unit 110 ends the electronic money application 111. On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation flag is in an off state, that is, the activation from this error handling completion mail is the first time (YES in step S1111), in step S1112, the data processing unit 110 sets the operation flag. Turn on.

  In step S <b> 1113, the data processing unit 110 clears the processing status managed by the storage unit 120. The processing status is not limited to being cleared, and the processing status may be updated to written. As a result, the above-described problem that the write processing start request is continuously transmitted from the mobile phone 100 is solved.

  As described above, the data processing unit 110 receives the electronic mail that is the update instruction information in the present embodiment, and on the condition that the link information attached to the electronic mail is operated, the link information further The processing status forced update process for forcibly updating the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 is executed on the condition that this operation is the first time. Further, as described with reference to FIG. 11, this process status forced update process (step S <b> 1113) is performed on condition that the link information attached to the e-mail as the update instruction information is operated, and the electronic money application Since it cannot be executed from the initial screen 111, the processing status is not updated due to a user error or the like. Furthermore, since this process status forced update process is executed on the condition that the link operation is the first time, when the link information of the e-mail stored in the mobile phone 100 is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like In addition, there is no possibility that the processing status will be updated during the second and subsequent operations.

(First modification of store history determination process)
FIG. 55 is a flowchart showing a flow of a first modification of the history determination process which is a subroutine of the balance management application program 214 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  In the history determination processing of FIG. 46, an estimated arrival time at a store used later is specified from two use histories, and the specified estimated arrival time is compared with a use time at a store used later. I made it. In the history determination process of the first modified example of FIG. 55, the estimated travel time between stores is identified from two usage histories, and the identified estimated travel time is compared with the difference between the utilization times of the two stores. To do.

  Referring to FIG. 55, the processing other than the processing from step S2181a to step S2183a is the same as the processing described in FIG.

  If NO in step S2086, the location of the store indicated by the store IDs of the two usage histories is specified from the store DB in step S2181a. Subsequently, the data processing unit 210 specifies the estimated travel time from the location of the store indicated by the store IDs of the two specified usage histories to the location of the store used later from the location of the store used earlier. To do. Since the method of specifying the estimated travel time between locations has been described in step S2181 in FIG. 46, the repeated description will not be repeated.

  In step S2182a, the data processing unit 210 calculates a use time difference between a use time of a use history of a store that is used later and a use time of a use history of a store that has been used earlier.

  Next, in step S2183a, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not the use time difference calculated in step S2182a is shorter than the estimated travel time specified in step S2181a. If it is determined that the use time difference is not shorter than the estimated travel time (NO in step S2183a), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2186.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the use time difference is shorter than the estimated travel time (YES in step S2183a), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be performed to the process in step S2184.

  Returning to FIG. 6, for example, the case where the use history group of the mobile terminal information “MN7RE” is set as the target use history group in step S2081 or step S2189 will be described. If the usage histories updated this time are four usage histories from “10:30:30” to “12:15:00” of “November 22, 2006”, when n = 2, step In S2083, the use date “November 22, 2006”, the use time “12:00:00”, the store time “12:00”, the store ID “00001”, which is the n = 2nd use history updated this time in the target use history group, the device The ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224. In step S2084, the usage date “November 22, 2006”, the usage time “10:30:30”, and the store ID “00002”, which are usage histories immediately before the usage history extracted in step S2083. , The device ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224.

  In step S2085, it is determined that the usage dates of the two usage histories are “November 22, 2006”, and they match, and in step S2086, the store IDs of the two usage histories are “00001” and “00002”, respectively. It is judged not to. In step S2181a, the addresses of the store used earlier and the store used later are “2-3-4 Shinjuku-ku Oto 2-chome” and “1-3 2-3 Ko, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo,” respectively. It is specified that the nearest stations are “Shinjuku Station” and “Shibuya Station”, respectively, and the estimated travel time between locations of the store used earlier and the store used later is specified as “20 minutes”, for example. Is done. Next, in step S2182a, the difference in use time of the use history between the store used later and the store used earlier is obtained by subtracting “10:30: 00” from “12:00: 30 minutes ". In this case, since it is determined in step S2183a that the calculated use time difference “1 hour 30 minutes” is not shorter than the estimated travel time “20 minutes”, the use history is not abnormal and an abnormality occurs in step S2184. And the use stop information are not transmitted in step S2185.

  49, a case will be described in which, for example, in step S2081 or step S2189, the usage history group of the mobile terminal information “LM6QD” is set as the target usage history group. If the usage history updated this time is four usage histories from “10:30:30” to “12:15:00” of “November 23, 2006”, when n = 2, In S2083, the usage date “November 23, 2006”, the usage time “12:00:00”, the shop ID “00001”, which is the n = 2nd usage history updated this time in the target usage history group, the device ID The ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224. In step S2084, the usage date “November 23, 2006”, the usage time “10:30:30”, and the store ID “00003”, which are usage histories immediately before the usage history extracted in step S2083. , The device ID “0001” and the transaction amount “500” are extracted from the transaction information DB 224.

  In step S2085, it is determined that the usage dates of the two usage histories are “November 23, 2006”, and they match, and in step S2086, the store IDs of the two usage histories are “00001” and “00003”, respectively. It is judged not to. In step S2181a, the addresses of the store used earlier and the store used later are “3-4-5 Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka” and “1-3 2-3 Ko, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo”, respectively. Yes, it is specified that the nearest stations are “Osaka Station” and “Shibuya Station”, respectively, and the estimated travel time between locations of the store used earlier and the store used later is, for example, “3 hours 30 Minutes ". Next, in step S2182a, the difference in use time of the use history between the store used later and the store used earlier is obtained by subtracting “10:30: 00” from “12:00: 30 minutes ". In this case, since the calculated use time difference “1 hour 30 minutes” is determined to be shorter than the estimated travel time “3 hours 30 minutes” in step S2183a, the use history is abnormal, and the abnormality in step S2184 is detected. Notification of occurrence and use stop information transmission in step S2185 are performed.

(Second modification of the store history determination process)
FIG. 56 is a flowchart showing a flow of a second modification of the history determination process which is a subroutine of the balance management application program 214 executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the present embodiment.

  In the history determination process of FIG. 46, each usage history is compared with the previous usage history to determine whether or not the usage history is abnormal. In the history determination process of the second modified example of FIG. 56, the first usage history of the usage history group, the usage history, and the usage history having the same mobile terminal information and the same store ID as the usage history. It is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal by comparing with the last usage history of the usage history group having the same usage date in front of the history group.

  Referring to FIG. 56, the processing other than the processing from step S2083a to step S2186a is the same as the processing described with reference to FIG. 46, and therefore, repeated description will not be repeated.

  In step S2083a, the data processing unit 210 sets the usage histories having the same store ID and the continuous usage time among the target usage history groups as a group of usage history groups, and the nth of the usage history groups updated this time. A usage history group is extracted from the transaction information DB 224. Further, in step S2084a, the data processing unit 210 extracts from the transaction information DB 224 the usage history group before the usage history group extracted in step S2083a and the usage history group in all stores with the same usage date. .

  Next, in step S2181b, the data processing unit 210 selects all of the use history group in the nth store and the use history group extracted in step S2084a and the use history group in which the store IDs do not match. For the combination, the estimated travel time from the location of the store used earlier to the location of the store used later is specified. Since the method for specifying the estimated travel time based on the location has been described in step S2181 in FIG. 46, the repeated description will not be repeated.

  Then, in step S2182b, the data processing unit 210 uses the estimated travel time specified in step S2181b for the combinations of all usage history groups targeted in step S2181b. By adding to the usage time of the usage history, an estimated arrival time at a store used later is calculated.

  Next, in step S2183b, the data processing unit 210 determines that the use time of the first use history of the use history group of the store used later among the combinations of all use history groups targeted in step S2181b is step S2182b. It is determined whether or not there is a combination of usage history groups that is before the estimated arrival time calculated in (1). If it is determined that there is no combination of usage history groups whose later usage time is before the estimated arrival time (NO in step S2183b), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2186a.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a combination of usage history groups whose later usage time is before the estimated arrival time (YES in step S2183b), in step S2184b, the data processing unit 210 selects the combination corresponding in step S2183b. The mobile terminal information, the two store IDs of each combination of the use history group, and the fact that an abnormality has occurred are notified. As the notification, for example, the data processing unit 210 causes the display unit 240 to display the mobile terminal information, the two store IDs, and the characters “abnormality occurred”.

  Furthermore, in step S2185, the data processing unit 210 transmits use stop information for instructing to stop the use of the value in the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information to the store servers 800 of all stores. To do. The use suspension information includes mobile terminal information as described in step S315 of FIG.

  In step S2186a, the data processing unit 210 determines whether there is a usage history group of the next store in the target usage history group. When it is determined that there is a use history group of the next store (YES in step S2186a), in step S2187, the data processing unit 210 adds 1 to the variable n and returns the process to be executed to step S2083a.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is no use history group for the next store (NO in step S2186a), data processing unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S2188.

Next, main effects obtained by the first embodiment described above will be described.
(1-1) Conventionally, there has been a technique for issuing a game recording medium to be used for a game with electronic money and for making an additional payment to a game recording medium (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.

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.

  (1-25) Some mobile phones having a non-contact IC chip communicate with an electronic money terminal or server to add and subtract values (for example, paragraph 0016 of JP-A-2005-38209, (See paragraphs 0017, 0049 to 0055, 0111 to 0114, 0136, and 0138). In the application unit of the mobile phone, a terminal ID for specifying an electronic money terminal to be settled, a business operator code, an operation parameter, and an operation file are stored in association with each other.

  When this mobile phone is used for payment at 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 this 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.

Can be improved.

  (2-1) Conventionally, there has been an electronic charge for electronic money. The net charge means that the server charges electronic money to the portable terminal via a network such as the Internet in response to a request for charging from the portable terminal to the server. In this case, the portable terminal updates the log along with the writing of the electronic money and transmits the writing completion to the electronic money server. Further, the electronic money server also updates the transaction log (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-272560). However, in such a technique, if the log update in the mobile terminal fails, the management status on the mobile terminal side is unwritten, while the management status on the server side is already written. For this reason, there is a problem in that inconsistency occurs between the management statuses of the two, causing inconvenience in subsequent processing.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. That is, a portable terminal provided with a storage means for writing data desired by the user, an issuing process for issuing the data to the portable terminal, and a writing for writing the issued data to the storage means A data issuance / writing system comprising an issuance / writing process server for performing processing, wherein the portable terminal is managed by the processing status management means for managing the processing status of the data and the processing status management means.

Previous Write instruction information for instructing writing of the data to the storage means on condition that the writing status managed by the writing status management means of the data corresponding to the write request information is unwritten Is output to transmit to the request source mobile terminal that is the transmission source mobile terminal of the write request information, and the write instruction output means outputs the write instruction information. And a writing status update unit that updates the writing status managed by the writing status management unit of the data instructed to be written by the writing instruction information to the written state, The terminal further executes a process for writing the data instructed to be written by the write instruction information to the storage means on condition that the write instruction information is received from the write instruction output means. data The processing status managed by the processing status management means for the data is written on the condition that the processing for writing the data is executed by the writing execution means and the writing processing execution means. Processing status update means for updating the processing status, and the issuance / write processing server further transmits update instruction information for updating the processing status managed by the processing status management means to the portable terminal. An update instruction output means for outputting, and the mobile terminal updates the process status managed by the process status management means based on the reception of the update instruction information from the update instruction output means A process status forced update means for executing the process is provided. Since it comprises in this way, the mismatch of the situation managed with the portable terminal and the server regarding the writing of data can be eliminated, and the inconvenience of subsequent processing can be eliminated.

  Specifically, the data issuing / writing system (for example, the electronic money system 10) is a storage unit (for example, a non-contact type IC chip 190) in which data desired by the user (for example, electronic money information such as value) is written. A storage unit 192), a issuing process for issuing the data to the mobile terminal, and a writing process for writing the issued data into the storage unit And an issue / write processing server (for example, electronic money management server 200, settlement server 280, remote issue server 400). As described in steps S122a, S127, S153a, S157a, S1607a, S1614a, S1716, and S1724a, the data processing status (for example, processing status) is managed by the portable terminal. As described in step S154, a write request for requesting data writing on condition that the processing status managed by the mobile terminal is unwritten (eg, YES in step S151). Information (eg, a write process start request) is output for transmission to the issuing write process server. As described in the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5, a write status (for example, processing) indicating whether or not the data to be written to the mobile terminal has been written (for example, issued) by the issue / write processing server. Situation) is managed. Write that instructs writing of the data on condition that the managed write status of the data corresponding to the transmitted write request information is unwritten (for example, in the case of YES in step S274) The instruction information (for example, write execution information) is output for transmission to the request source mobile terminal that is the source mobile terminal of the write request information (for example, the write execution information of the remote issuing server 400) Send). The write status in which the data instructed to be written by the write instruction information is managed on condition that the write instruction information is output (for example, write execution is transmitted by the remote issuing server 400) Is updated to written (for example, writing completed) (for example, updating of the processing status by the remote issuing server 400 to completion of writing, or step S2796). As described in step S156, on the condition that the writing instruction information is received by the portable terminal (for example, YES in step S155), in order to write the data instructed to write by the writing instruction information (For example, writing processing) is executed. As described in step S157a, the processing status in which the data is managed on condition that the process for writing data is executed by the portable terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S157 or step S157b) Is updated to data written (for example, written). As described in step S2918, the issuance / write processing server outputs update instruction information (for example, error handling completion mail) for updating the managed processing status to be transmitted to the mobile terminal. As described in S1113, the managed processing status is updated by the mobile terminal based on the reception of the update instruction information (for example, on condition that the electronic money application 111 is activated from the error handling completion mail). Processing status forced update processing is executed. As a result, normally, the issue / write processing server updates the write status to “written” on condition that the write instruction information is output, and the mobile terminal stores the data instructed to write by the write instruction information. The processing status is updated to data written on condition that the processing for writing is executed. However, even if the mobile terminal fails to update the processing status to data written when the data is written, the processing status is forcibly updated by an instruction from the issuing / writing processing server. The As a result, it is possible to eliminate the inconsistency between the processing status in the portable terminal and the writing status in the issue writing processing server with respect to data writing, and the inconvenience of the subsequent processing can be eliminated.

  (2-2) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the issuing / writing processing server further includes a processing status acquisition unit that acquires a processing status from the portable terminal, and an acquisition status processing execution unit that executes a process based on the processing status acquired by the processing status acquisition unit. With. Specifically, as described in step S2914, the processing status is acquired from the portable terminal by the issuing and writing processing server. As described in steps S2916 to S2918, the issuing and writing processing server executes processing based on the acquired processing status. Thereby, processing based on the processing status acquired by the issuing / writing processing server is executed. Therefore, necessary processing can be executed after the processing status is confirmed by the issuing / writing processing server.

  (2-3) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the acquisition status process execution means determines whether the processing status acquired by the processing status acquisition means matches the writing status managed by the writing status management means, and the update The instruction output means outputs the update instruction information on condition that the acquisition status processing means determines that they do not match. Specifically, as described in step S2916 and step S2917a, the issued write processing server determines whether or not the acquired processing status matches the managed writing status. As described in step S2918, the update instruction information is output on condition that the issue / write processing server determines that they do not match (for example, YES in step S2917a). As a result, it is possible to save troubles such as confirmation work by the operator.

  (2-4) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the update instruction output means outputs an e-mail attached with link information to be operated to execute the processing status forced update process as the update instruction information and is transmitted from the update instruction output means. On the condition that the link information attached to the e-mail is operated, the process status forced update means executes the process status forced update process. Specifically, as described in step S2918, an e-mail (for example, error handling completion e-mail) attached with link information that is operated by the issuing / writing processing server to execute the process status forced update process is attached. Is output as update instruction information. As described in step S1113, the processing status forced update process is executed on the condition that the link information attached to the transmitted e-mail is operated by the mobile terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S1110). Is done. As a result, the processing on the issue / write processing server side is completed, and the user can be surely recognized that the processing status can be updated, and the operation burden on the user for updating can be reduced. Can do. In addition, since it is possible to prevent the processing status forced update process from being performed without outputting the update instruction information from the issue / write processing server, the processing status is not forcibly updated due to a user's erroneous operation or misuse. can do.

  (2-5) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. In other words, the portable terminal further includes a link operation determination unit that determines whether or not the link information operation is the first time, and the processing status forced update unit is configured such that the link operation determination unit performs the link information operation for the first time. The process status forced update process is executed on the condition that it is determined that. Specifically, as described in step S <b> 1111, the mobile terminal determines whether or not the link information operation is the first time. As described in step S1113, the processing status forced update process is executed on the condition that the portable terminal determines that the operation of the link information is the first time (for example, YES in step S1111). Thereby, even if the link information is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like, the processing status can be prevented from being updated each time.

  (3-1) Conventionally, there has been a system in which an issuance processing server that issues data and a writing processing server that performs data writing processing for writing issued data to a mobile terminal are provided separately (for example, stocks) Company NTT Docomo Tokai, a new mobile phone utilization example "i-mode (registered trademark) Felica (registered trademark)", [online], [December 9, 2005], Internet <URL: http: // www.docomo-tokai.co.jp/businesshub/bh/felica/donyu.html>). However, according to such a technique, when communication with the write processing server is disconnected in the data write processing after receiving data issuance from the issue processing server, the processing for data issuance is performed again. When the issuance process is performed again and the issuance request is transmitted to the issuance processing server, since the issuance processing server has already issued the data, there is a problem that the issuance request is not accepted and the data cannot be written.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. That is, a portable terminal provided with a storage means to which the data is written based on an instruction from a writing processing server that performs a writing process of data desired by the user, and issuance for issuing the data to the portable terminal A data issuing system comprising a processing server, wherein the portable terminal receives an issuing operation for accepting an issuance operation for requesting the issuance of data from a user, and the issuing operation is accepted by the issuing operation accepting unit. Issuance request output means for outputting issuance request information for requesting issuance of the data to the issuance processing server, the issuance processing server to the portable terminal. Issuance status management means for managing the issuance status indicating whether or not the data to be issued has been issued, and the issue request transmitted from the issue request output means On the condition that the issue status managed by the issue status management means of the data corresponding to the information is not issued, the data is transferred to the request source mobile terminal that is the mobile terminal that is the transmission source of the issue request information. A data output means that outputs data for transmission, and an issuance that updates the issuance status managed by the issuance status management means for the data to issued, on condition that the data is output by the data output means The mobile terminal further includes a processing status management unit that manages the processing status of the data, and the data received on the condition that the data transmitted from the data output unit is received. From the processing status update means for updating the processing status managed by the processing status management means to data received, and the data output means Write request output means for outputting write request information for requesting writing of the data to the storage means to be transmitted to the write processing server on condition that the received data has been received. Data write execution means for writing the data to the storage means on condition that the write instruction information for instructing writing of the data to the storage means is received from the write processing server, The processing status update unit updates the processing status managed by the processing status management unit of the data to the data written on condition that the data has been written by the data writing execution unit, In the portable terminal, when the issuing operation is accepted by the issuing operation accepting unit, the processing status managed by the processing status managing unit has been received. A request to execute the output of the write request information to the write processing server by the write request output means without executing the output of the issue request information by the issue request output means on the condition that Output execution control means is provided. With this configuration, even when communication with the write processing server is disconnected, data can be reliably written based on the issuance operation performed again.

  Specifically, the data issuing system (electronic money system 10) is from a writing processing server (for example, remote issuing server 400) that performs writing processing of data desired by the user (for example, electronic money information such as value). And a portable terminal (for example, the cellular phone 100) provided with a storage means (for example, the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190) to which data is written based on the instruction, and issues data to the portable terminal An issue processing server (for example, an electronic money management server 200, a settlement server 280). As described in Step S194 or Step S191, the mobile terminal issues an issuance operation for requesting the issuance of data (for example, “Charge Value Purchased to IC Chip” with a circled number 2 on the screen of FIG. 28B). Is selected from the user, or is selected from the screen shown in FIG. 33B. As described in step S152, the issue request information for requesting data issuance (for example, for example, in the case of YES in step S194 or step S191) (for example, in the case of YES in step S194 or step S191) by the mobile terminal. Value issue request information) is output for transmission to the issue processing server. As described in the issue information DB 222 in FIG. 5, an issue status (for example, indicating whether the data to be issued to the mobile terminal has been issued (for example, issued) or not (for example, not issued) by the issue processing server (for example, , Processing status) is managed. As described in step S277, it is a condition that the issuance status of the data corresponding to the issuance request information transmitted by the issuance processing server is unissued (for example, YES in step S274). The data (for example, value issuance information) is output for transmission to the requesting mobile terminal that is the transmitting mobile terminal of the issuing request information. As described in step S279, on the condition that data is output (for example, in the case of YES in step S278), the issuance status managed for the data is updated to issued. As described in steps S122a, S127, S153a, S157a, S1607a, S1614a, S1716, and S1724a, the data processing status is managed by the portable terminal. As described in step S153a, on the condition that the transmitted data is received by the mobile terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S153), the processing status managed for the data is the data received ( For example, issuance information has been received). As described in step S154, write request information (for example, write request) that requests writing of the data on condition that the transmitted data is received by the mobile terminal (for example, YES in step S153). Is output for transmission to the write processing server. As described in step S156, the data is written on the condition that the mobile terminal has received the write instruction information instructing to write data from the write processing server (for example, YES in step S155). . As described in step S157a, on the condition that data has been written by the mobile terminal (for example, in the case of YES in step S157), the processing status managed for the data is data written (for example, , Written). As described in step S154, when the issue operation is accepted by the mobile terminal, the issue request is made on condition that the managed processing status is data reception (for example, YES in step S151). The output of the write request information to the write processing server is executed without outputting the information (for example, without sending the value issuance request information in step S152). Thereby, after the data is transmitted by the issuance processing server and the issuance status is updated to issued, the communication with the writing processing server by the portable terminal for writing the data received by the portable terminal is disconnected. Even if there is, the processing status is updated to data received by the mobile terminal, so when the issuance operation is accepted again, the issuance request information is not sent to the issuance processing server again, and the data is written. A request is sent to the write processing server. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the issue processing server from receiving the issue request information transmitted from the portable terminal again for the data already issued by the issue processing server. As a result, even when communication with the write processing server is disconnected, data can be reliably written based on the issuance operation performed again.

  (4-1) Conventionally, there is an issuer (electronic money issuing organization (organization, company, etc.)) server that can grasp the distribution status and usage history of electronic money and manage a user account and a one-to-one money account. (For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-85723 (paragraph 0032)). According to such an issuer server, it is possible to grasp how much electronic money is currently stored or used in a user card from a money account. For electronic money that can be used in common at multiple stores, for those who are trying to cheat, the range of use is wider than electronic money limited to a single store. Since the benefits of doing so are large, it is easy to be targeted as fraudulent targets, and fraud can be carried out in groups. However, the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-85723 has a problem that it cannot be determined that the group has been cheating.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. That is, as the usage history of electronic money stored in a recording medium that can be used in a plurality of stores, store identification information of the store where the electronic money is used, the use date and time used, and the record used A usage status management unit having a usage history management unit that manages the recording medium identification information of a medium in association with each other, the location information management unit that manages location information that can identify the location areas of the plurality of stores, Among the usage histories managed by the usage history management means, the location information management means manages the stores indicated by the store identification information of the usage histories in two different stores with the same recording medium identification information and usage date. Usage history determination means for determining whether or not the usage time of the usage history is abnormal based on the location information, and the usage history determination On condition that the utilization history is determined to be abnormal by the stage, and an abnormality recording medium informing means for informing the recording medium identification information of the use history. With this configuration, it is possible to extract a recording medium that is suspected of fraud.

  Specifically, as described in step S292 of the balance management AP 214 in FIG. 45 and FIG. 6, the data processing unit 210 and the storage unit 220 of the usage status management device (for example, the electronic money management server 200) can store a plurality of stores. For example, store identification information (for example, a store where electronic money is used) as a usage history of electronic money (for example, value) stored in a recording medium (for example, mobile phone 100) that can be used in (for example, game room 30). , Store ID), used date (for example, used date), used time (for example, used time), and recording medium identification information (for example, portable terminal information) of the used recording medium are associated with each other. Managed. As described with reference to FIG. 47, location information (for example, address, nearest station, or zip code) that can identify the location areas of a plurality of stores is managed by the store DB of the storage unit 220. As described in steps S 2083 to S 2183 in FIG. 46, steps S 2083 to S 2183 a in FIG. 55, and steps S 2083 a to S 2183 b in FIG. 56, the usage history managed by the data processing unit 210 Whether the usage time of the usage history is abnormal based on the location information managed for the store indicated by the store identification information of each of the usage histories at two different stores with the same recording medium identification information and usage date Is determined. As described in step S2184 in FIGS. 46 and 55 and step S2184b in FIG. 56, the data processing unit 210 determines that the usage history is abnormal (for example, step S2183, step S2183a, or step S2183b). On the condition of YES), the recording medium identification information of the usage history is notified. Thereby, the recording medium identification information of the recording medium whose usage history is determined to be abnormal, that is, the recording medium that is suspected of fraud is notified by the usage status management device. As a result, it is possible to extract a recording medium that is suspected of fraud.

  (4-2) The present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the usage history determination unit is a store indicated by the store identification information of each of the target usage histories in two different stores having the same recording date and the same usage date among the usage histories managed by the usage history management unit. Based on the location information managed by the location information management means, an arrival time specifying means for specifying an estimated arrival time for arriving at a store used later from a previously used store, and among the target usage history Use time determining means for determining whether or not the use time of the use history of the store used later is before the estimated arrival time specified by the arrival time specifying means. The usage history is different on the condition that the usage time of the usage history of the used store is determined to be before the estimated arrival time. It determines that it is. Specifically, as described in steps S2083 to S2182 in FIG. 46, among the usage histories managed by the data processing unit 210, targets in two different stores having the same recording medium identification information and usage date Based on the location information managed for the store indicated by the store identification information of each use history, the estimated arrival time (for example, estimated arrival time) arriving at the store used later from the previously used store is specified. The As described in step S2183 of FIG. 46, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not the use time of the use history of the store used later among the target use history is before the specified estimated arrival time. On the condition that the use time of the use history of the store used later is determined to be before the estimated arrival time (for example, YES in step S2183), the use history is determined to be abnormal. The Thereby, based on the location information, it can be efficiently and reliably determined whether or not the use time of the use history of the store used later is before the estimated arrival time at the later store. As a result, a recording medium that is suspected of fraud can be extracted efficiently and reliably.

  (4-3) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the arrival time specifying unit is a store indicated by store identification information of each of the target usage histories in two different stores having the same recording medium identification information and usage date among the usage histories managed by the usage history management unit. Based on the location information managed by the location information management means, the estimated travel time from the location of the store used earlier to the location of the store used later is identified, and the identified estimated travel time is first The estimated arrival time is specified by adding to the use time of the use history of the used store. Specifically, as described in steps S2083 to S2181 in FIG. 46, among the usage histories managed by the data processing unit 210, targets in two different stores having the same recording medium identification information and usage date Based on the location information managed for the store indicated by the store identification information of each use history, the estimated travel time from the location of the store used earlier to the location of the store used later is specified. As described in step S2182 of FIG. 46, the estimated arrival time is specified by the data processing unit 210 by adding the specified estimated travel time to the use time of the use history of the store that was previously used. . In this way, the estimated arrival time at a store used later is efficiently and reliably specified based on the location information. As a result, a recording medium suspected of fraud can be extracted more efficiently and reliably.

  (4-4) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. In other words, the usage history determination means is indicated by the store identification information of each of the target usage histories in two different stores having the same recording date and the same usage date among the usage histories managed by the usage history management means. The travel time specifying means for specifying the estimated travel time between location areas specified by the location information managed by the location information management means for the store, and the use time difference of the target usage history is determined by the travel time specifying means. Use time difference determining means for determining whether or not it is shorter than the specified estimated travel time, provided that the use time difference determining means determines that the use time difference of the target use history is shorter than the estimated travel time It is determined that the target usage history is abnormal. Specifically, as described in steps S2083 to S2181a in FIG. 55, among the usage histories managed by the data processing unit 210, targets in two different stores having the same recording medium identification information and usage date The estimated travel time (for example, estimated travel time) between the location areas specified by the location information managed for the stores indicated by the store identification information of each use history is specified. As described in step S2183a in FIG. 46, the data processing unit 210 determines whether the usage time difference of the target usage history is shorter than the specified estimated travel time, and estimates the usage time difference of the target usage history. On the condition that it is determined that it is shorter than the travel time (for example, in the case of YES in step S2183a), it is determined that the target usage history is abnormal. Thus, based on the location information, it can be efficiently and reliably determined whether or not the use time difference of the target use history is shorter than the estimated travel time. As a result, a recording medium that is suspected of fraud can be extracted efficiently and reliably.

  (4-5) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the usage history determination means has three or more stores indicated by the store identification information of the usage history having the same recording medium identification information and the same usage date, among the usage histories managed by the usage history management means. As a condition, whether or not the usage history is abnormal is determined not only for the usage history at the two stores where the usage is continuous, but also at the two stores where the usage is not continuous. Specifically, as described in steps S2083a to S2183b in FIG. 56, among the usage histories managed by the data processing unit 210, the store identification of each usage history having the same recording medium identification information and the same usage date. Whether the usage history is abnormal not only for the usage histories at two stores that are used continuously but also at the two stores that are not used continuously, on condition that there are three or more stores indicated by the information Is determined. As described above, the usage history between the usage histories at two discontinuous stores (for example, A store and C store) (for example, the usage at B store when there is a usage history in the order of A store, B store, and C store). Even when the (history) is abnormal, it is possible to determine whether or not the usage histories in the two consecutive stores are abnormal. As a result, a recording medium suspected of fraud can be extracted without omission.

  (4-6) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the usage history determination means determines whether the usage history is abnormal for the final usage history at the store used earlier and the first usage history at the store used later among the target usage history. Determine whether. Specifically, by the processing from step S2083 to step S2086 in FIG. 46 and FIG. 55, the final usage history at the store used earlier among the target usage history and the first usage history at the store used later. Are extracted, and it is determined whether or not the two usage histories are abnormal by the processing from step S2181 to step S2183 and the processing from step S2181a to step S2183a. Also, by the processing from step S2083a to step S2183b in FIG. 56, the usage history is obtained for the final usage history at the store used earlier and the first usage history at the store used later among the target usage history. It is determined whether or not there is an abnormality. In this way, it is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal for the final usage history at the store used earlier and the first usage history at the store used later among the target usage history. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently determine whether or not the usage history is abnormal as compared to the case where it is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal for all the usage histories of each store.

  (4-7) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, use stop information for stopping the use of electronic money on the recording medium indicated by the recording medium identification information of the use history on the condition that the use history is determined to be abnormal by the use history determining means. Is further provided with use stop information transmitting means for transmitting the information to each store. Specifically, as described in step S2185 in FIGS. 46, 55, and 56, the data processing unit 210 determines that the usage history is abnormal (for example, step S2183, step S2183a, and step S2183b). If the answer is YES), use stop information for stopping use of electronic money on the recording medium indicated by the recording medium identification information of the use history is transmitted to each store. As a result, the use status management device can stop the use of electronic money on a recording medium suspected of fraud at each store. As a result, it is possible to prevent an increase in damage caused by unauthorized use of electronic money using a recording medium suspected of being fraudulent.

  (5-1) Conventionally, there has been a gaming system as described below (for example, JP 2004-57700 A (paragraphs 0041, 0042, 0046 to 0050, 0059, 0061, 0062, 0090, 0091, 0094, and 0097)). In this gaming system, when a prepaid ID stored in a mobile phone is transmitted to an infrared communication unit provided in a rental unit of a game medium (for example, a pachinko ball or a coin of a slot machine), the rental unit receives The prepaid ID is transmitted as a use request to the management computer. The management computer extracts the prepaid frequency from the received prepaid ID, returns the extracted prepaid frequency to the lending unit, and updates the use state corresponding to the prepaid ID from “standby” to “in use”. The lending unit performs the lending process according to the returned prepaid frequency, and sends a prepaid frequency update request to the management computer every time the lending process is performed. Accordingly, the management computer subtracts the prepaid frequency. When the end button is input with the prepaid frequency remaining, the lending unit transmits the prepaid ID to the management computer. The management computer updates the use state corresponding to the prepaid ID from “in use” to “standby”. When the use request for the prepaid ID in which “used” is registered as the use state is transmitted from the lending unit, the management computer returns a message indicating that the use is not possible. This avoids duplicate use of the same prepaid ID. In addition, there is a system for charging and settlement of value by holding (or placing) a mobile phone over a reader / writer unit of an electronic money terminal (for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-272560 (paragraphs 0093 and 0094)). ). However, as in the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-57700, if the lending by the mobile phone is the same method as the lending by the conventional card, the mobile phone is not accepted in the lending unit. Since the management computer recognizes that it is “in use” by the lending unit from the start to the end of use, it is possible to avoid duplicate use. The reason why duplicate use is not used is that there is a use request for the prepaid ID when the state of the prepaid ID is “in use” in spite of a system in which one or more of the same prepaid ID does not exist. This is because the possibility that the prepaid ID is duplicated (counterfeited) is high. For this reason, it is necessary to detect such a prepaid ID. Further, as in the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-272560, when the lending method using the mobile phone is changed to a method of lending by communicating the mobile phone and the lending unit at each lending, the usage state is “ Since switching between “in use” and “standby” is not performed, it is not possible to make a determination of overlapping use as in the technique described in Patent Document 1. For this reason, there has been a problem that a recording medium such as a mobile phone suspected of fraud cannot be extracted.

  However, the present invention includes the following configuration. That is, as the usage history of electronic money recorded on the recording medium, transaction device identification information of the transaction device using the electronic money, usage time used, and recording medium identification information of the used recording medium A usage status management device having usage history management means associated with management, wherein among the usage histories managed by the usage history management means, the transaction device identification information is different and the recording medium identification information is the same and the usage is continuous. Store usage history determination means for determining whether or not the usage history is abnormal by determining whether or not the usage time difference between the usage histories in the two transaction devices is less than a preset reference time And an abnormal recording medium notification for notifying the recording medium identification information of the usage history on the condition that the usage history is determined to be abnormal by the usage history determination means And a stage. With this configuration, it is possible to extract a recording medium that is suspected of fraud.

  Specifically, as described in step S831 of FIG. 51, the electronic money (for example, the mobile phone 100) recorded on the recording medium (for example, the mobile phone 100) by the data processing unit of the usage status management apparatus (for example, the store server 800). For example, as usage history of value, transaction device identification information (for example, device ID) of a transaction device (for example, ticket vending machine 300, card unit 600) in which electronic money is used, and usage time (for example, usage) Time) and recording medium identification information (for example, portable terminal information) of the used recording medium are managed in association with each other. As described in step S834 in FIG. 51, two transaction apparatuses that have different transaction apparatus identification information but have the same recording medium identification information and are continuously used among the usage histories managed by the data processing unit of the store server 800. It is determined whether or not the use time difference of the use history is less than a preset reference time (for example, within 1 minute 30 seconds, less than a predetermined time corresponding to the positional relationship of the transaction device). Thus, it is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal. As described in step S843 of FIG. 51, the usage history is recorded on condition that the usage history is determined to be abnormal by the data processing unit of the store server 800 (for example, YES in step S834). The medium identification information is notified. Thereby, the recording medium identification information of the recording medium whose usage history is determined to be abnormal, that is, the recording medium that is suspected of fraud is notified by the usage status management device. As a result, it is possible to extract a recording medium that is suspected of fraud.

  (5-2) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, on condition that the usage history is determined to be abnormal by the store usage history determination means, the arrangement of each transaction device indicated by the transaction device identification information of the usage history is less than the reference time. A transaction apparatus arrangement determining means for determining whether or not the recording medium can be shared, and a condition that the transaction apparatus is determined to be capable of sharing the recording medium by the transaction apparatus arrangement determining means And an arrangement notifying means for notifying that effect. Specifically, as described in step S835 of FIG. 51, the data processing unit of the store server 800 determines that the usage history is abnormal (for example, in the case of YES in step S834), It is determined whether or not the arrangement of each transaction apparatus indicated by the transaction apparatus identification information in the usage history is an arrangement that can share the recording medium in a time shorter than the reference time. As described in step S836 of FIG. 51, the condition is that the data processing unit of the store server 800 determines that the transaction apparatus is configured to share the mobile phone 100 (for example, YES in step S835). To that effect. As a result, if the recording medium is shared by two transaction devices that are configured to share the recording medium, for example, there is a possibility of renting or borrowing the recording medium between couples or friends. In addition to the notification of the recording medium identification information of a certain recording medium, notification can be performed. As a result, it is possible to prevent an unfair suspicion of legitimate use, so that the user can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable.

  (5-3) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. In other words, the store use history determination means further uses the use history managed by the use history management means so that the transaction device identification information and the recording medium identification information are the same and the use is not continued within a predetermined time. By determining whether there are two or more sets, it is determined whether the usage history is abnormal. Specifically, as described in step S841 and step S842 of FIG. 51, the transaction device identification information and the recording medium identification within a predetermined time in the usage history managed by the data processing unit of the store server 800. It is determined whether or not the usage history is abnormal by determining whether or not there are two or more usage histories that have the same information and are not used continuously. As a result, several transaction devices can be used so that the use time difference between the use histories in two transaction devices that have different transaction device identification information but the same recording medium identification information and are continuously used is equal to or greater than a preset reference time. Sequentially, even when unauthorized recording media having the same recording medium identification information are used, it can be determined that the usage history is abnormal. As a result, it is possible to improve the reliability of extraction of a recording medium that is suspected of fraud.

  (5-4) Further, the present invention may include the following configuration. That is, the transaction apparatus information output means for outputting information that can identify the transaction apparatus indicated by the transaction apparatus identification information of the use history on the condition that the store use history determination means determines that the use history is abnormal. Is further provided. Specifically, as described in step S844 in FIG. 51, the data processing unit of the store server 800 determines that the usage history is abnormal (for example, in the case of YES in step S834), Information that can specify the transaction device indicated by the transaction device identification information of the usage history is output. Thereby, the control which image | photographs the user of the transaction apparatus shown by the output information can be performed, or the said transaction apparatus can be alert | reported and confirmed. As a result, the control of a recording medium suspected of fraud can be strengthened.

[Second Embodiment]
In the first embodiment, the case where the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issue server 400 are provided in different vendors has been described. In the second embodiment, a case where the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issue server 400 are provided in the same vendor will be described.

  In the second embodiment, a case where the remote issue server 400 is included in the electronic money management server 200, that is, the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issue server 400 are configured by one computer will be described. (In this case, the one computer constitutes the issue / write processing server of the present invention), but is not limited to this, and is remotely issued to the user information DB 221 and issue information DB 222 of the electronic money management server 200 If the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issuance server 400 can share a DB related to electronic money, for example, the server 400 can be directly accessed, the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issuance server 400 are configured by separate computers. May be.

  When the electronic money management server 200 and the remote issuance server 400 are configured integrally as in the second embodiment, the initial activation process shown in FIG. 12 of the first embodiment is shown in FIG. In the value issue process shown, the value deposit process shown in FIG. 20, and the value return process shown in FIG. 21, a storage area for an electronic money game use service is constructed in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. The processing performed between the mobile phone 100 and the remote issuing server 400 in order to write the value or delete the storage area for the electronic money game use service is all performed with the electronic money management server 200. Will be held between. In the following, processing at the time of value issuance that is particularly relevant to the present invention and error handling processing when the update of the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 of the mobile phone 100 fails will be described.

  FIG. 57 is a flowchart showing a flow of value issue processing that is a subroutine of the electronic money application 111 executed by the mobile phone 100 in the second embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 57, in step S152, data processing unit 110 transmits value issue request information to electronic money management server 200. Here, unlike FIG. 18, the value issuance request information is information for requesting charge (issuance) of value, and in the storage area for electronic money game use service in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190. This is information for starting a writing process for writing a value, and is information including a member ID and portable terminal information. That is, the value issuance request information in FIG. 57 includes the value issuance request information (issue request information for requesting issuance of value) and write processing start request information (write request information for requesting writing of value) in FIG. It is information including.

  FIG. 58 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing of a value issuing application program executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the second embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 58, first, in step S271, data processing unit 210 determines whether or not there has been a value issue request by receiving value issue request information from mobile phone 100. If it is determined that there is no value issue request (NO in step S271), the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S271.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a value issuance request (YES in step S271), in step S272, the data processing unit 210 uses the member ID and mobile terminal information included in the value issuance request information received in step S271. It is determined whether or not the information registered in the person information DB 211 is usable. If it is determined that it is not usable (NO in step S272), the data processing unit 210 transmits an unusable screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S273. The unusable screen is the same screen as the screen described in FIG.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it can be used (YES in step S272), in step S274, the data processing unit 210 stores the member ID and the uncharged value corresponding to the mobile terminal information in the issue information DB 222. Judge whether or not. If it is determined that there is no uncharged value (NO in step S274), the data processing unit 210 transmits an uncharged value no screen to the mobile phone 100 in step S275. Since the uncharged value no screen has been described with reference to FIG. 34C, the overlapping description will not be repeated.

  When it is determined that there is an uncharged value (in the case of YES in step S274), when it is determined that there is an uncharged value at the time of charge request (in the case of YES in step S244), and there is an uncharged value at the time of balance transfer request (YES in step S2064), in step S2793, data processing unit 210 executes a writing process.

  Specifically, the data processing unit 210 directly communicates with the non-contact type IC chip 190 of the mobile phone 100 indicated by the mobile terminal information included in the value issuance request without using the electronic money application 111 to perform non-contact. The uncharged value stored in the issue information DB 222 is written in the storage unit 192 of the type IC chip 190.

  That is, the electronic money management server 200 instructs the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 to write an uncharged value (issued value) (sends write instruction information), and controls according to this. The unit 191 writes a value in the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 (that is, the control unit 191 constitutes a data write execution unit). In this case, when the value has already been stored in the storage area for the electronic money game use service of the storage unit 192, a process of writing the value of the amount obtained by adding the issued value to the already stored value is performed. Such processing also corresponds to writing of issued value.

  That is, in the second embodiment, the mobile phone 100 includes value issue request information that serves as both value issue request information that requests value issuance and value write request information that requests value write in step S152 of FIG. Is transmitted to the electronic money management server 200, the electronic money management server 200 performs a process of issuing (transmitting) the value to the mobile phone 100 in step S2793 in FIG. A process of transmitting write instruction information for writing the value into the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 is also performed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the control unit 191 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 writes the issued value in response to an instruction from the electronic money management server 200 without using the electronic money application 111. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the electronic money application 111 may instruct the control unit 191 to write the issued value in response to receiving the write instruction information from the electronic money management server 200.

  In step S2794, the data processing unit 210 determines whether or not the value writing is completed. If it is determined that the processing has not ended (NO in step S2794), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2794. On the other hand, if it is determined that the processing has been completed (YES in step S2794), data processing unit 210 transmits write completion information to mobile phone 100 in step S2795.

  In step S2796, the data processing unit 210 sets the processing status (writing status) of the value stored in the issuance information DB 222 shown in FIG. Update. Thereafter, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of step S271.

  Returning to FIG. 57, in step S157b, the data processing unit 110 determines whether or not the writing process is ended by receiving the writing end information from the electronic money management server 200. If it is determined that the writing process has been completed (YES in step S157b), in step S157a, the data processing unit 110 updates the processing status managed in the storage unit 120 to the written state. Since the processing after step S157a has been described with reference to FIG. 18, overlapping description will not be repeated.

  FIG. 59 is a flowchart showing a flow of error handling processing executed by the electronic money management server 200 in the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 59, in the first embodiment, the operator performs processing corresponding to an error in processing status mismatch. In the second embodiment, a case will be described in which the electronic money management server 200 performs processing corresponding to an error of processing state mismatch as error handling processing. The error handling process is not limited to being executed by the electronic money management server 200 as long as the error handling process is executed by the server of the provider of the electronic money game use service.

  Referring to FIG. 59, first, when an operator of an electronic money game use service provider receives an error query from a user by telephone or email, the operator queries the email address of mobile phone 100, The e-mail address of the user's mobile phone 100 is acquired.

  Next, the operator operates the electronic money management server 200 so as to transmit an error handling start mail to the e-mail address of the acquired user's mobile phone 100.

  In response to this operation, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 transmits an error handling start mail to the e-mail address of the user's mobile phone 100 in step S2911. An error explanation page URL describing the error is attached to the error handling start mail.

  When the link to the error explanation page included in the error handling start mail is operated, the data processing unit 110 acquires an error explanation screen in the electronic money management server 200 indicated by the URL linked to the error explanation page. An error explanation screen acquisition request is sent.

  In step S2912, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines whether an error explanation screen acquisition request has been received from the mobile phone 100. If it is determined that an error explanation screen acquisition request has not been received (NO in step S2912), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2912. On the other hand, if it is determined that an error explanation screen acquisition request has been received (YES in step S2912), in step S2913, data processing unit 210 transmits the error explanation screen to mobile phone 100 that is the source of the error explanation screen acquisition request. .

  The data processing unit 100 of the mobile phone 100 acquires an error explanation screen from the electronic money management server 200 and displays it on the display unit 140. The error explanation screen includes an explanation about the error and includes link information operated to activate the electronic money application 111. By selecting the link information, the data processing unit 110 activates the electronic money application 111. 11 is executed, the storage contents of the storage unit 192 of the non-contact type IC chip 190 such as a value balance and the processing status managed by the storage unit 120 are managed by electronic money management. It is transmitted to the server 200.

  In step S <b> 2914, the data processing unit 210 of the electronic money management server 200 determines whether the storage contents and processing status of the non-contact type IC chip 190 are received from the user's mobile phone 100. If it is determined that the storage content and processing status of non-contact type IC chip 190 have not been received (NO in step S2914), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2914.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the storage content of the non-contact type IC chip 190 has been received (YES in step S2914), in step S2916, the data processing unit 210 stores the storage unit of the user's mobile phone 100 received in step S2914. The processing status managed in 120 and the value balance that is the stored content of the non-contact type IC chip 190, the processing status of the value written in the mobile phone 100 stored in the issue information DB 222, and the issue information DB 222 in FIG. Is compared with the value balance stored in. If it is determined that the processing status is not inconsistent (NO in step S2917a), the data processing unit 210 returns the processing to be executed to the processing in step S2911, because there is no need to perform processing for the processing status inconsistency.

  If the processing statuses do not match (YES in step S2917a) and it is determined that the value balances do not match (NO in step S2917b), the value may not be written, and the operator Since it is necessary to deal with the error, in step S2917c, the data processing unit 210 displays on the display unit 240 that the processing status and the value balance are inconsistent between the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200. Notify the operator.

  In step S2917d, the data processing unit 210 determines whether a confirmation operation has been input from the data input unit 230 by the operator. If it is determined that there is no confirmation operation (NO in step S2917d), data processing unit 210 repeats the process of step S2917d. On the other hand, if it is determined that there has been a confirmation operation (YES in step S2917d), data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process in step S2911.

  If the processing statuses do not match (YES in step S2917a) and it is determined that the value balances match (YES in step S2917b), the value is written but the processing status is updated to written In step S2918, the data processing unit 210 transmits an error handling completion mail to the user's mobile phone 100 in order to forcibly update the processing status. A link for starting the electronic money application 111 and clearing the processing status is attached to the error handling completion mail. After step S2918, the data processing unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of step S2911.

  Although the value processing status and the value balance are compared here, the present invention is not limited to this, and only the value processing status may be compared without comparing the value balance.

  When the link information attached to the error handling completion mail is selected on the mobile phone 100 that has received the error handling completion mail, the electronic money application 111 is activated, and in step S1110 of the process shown in FIG. A determination of YES is made, the processing after step S1111 is executed, and the processing status of the storage unit 120 is cleared. Since the processing from step S111 has been described with reference to FIG. 11 described above, redundant description will not be repeated.

  As described above, the data processing unit 110 receives the error handling completion mail that is the update instruction information in the present embodiment, and further, on condition that the link information attached to the error handling completion mail is operated. Executes a process status forced update process for forcibly updating the process status managed in the storage unit 120 on the condition that the operation of the link information is the first time. Further, as described with reference to FIG. 11, this process status forced update process (step S1113) is performed on condition that the link information attached to the error handling completion mail as the update instruction information is operated, and the electronic Since it cannot be executed from the initial screen or the like of the money application 111, there is no possibility that the processing status is updated due to an error of the user. Furthermore, since this process status forced update process is executed on the condition that the link operation is the first time, when the link information of the e-mail stored in the mobile phone 100 is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like In addition, there is no possibility that the processing status will be updated during the second and subsequent operations.

  Further, in the electronic money management server 200, as described in step S2796, the processing status is updated to the completion of writing on condition that the writing process ends, and in the mobile phone 100, as described in step S157a, The processing status is updated to “written” on condition that the writing process is executed. However, even when the mobile phone 100 fails to update the processing status to the written state when the value is written, as described in steps S2918 and S1113, the electronic money management server 200 The processing status is forcibly updated by the instruction. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the inconsistency between the processing statuses of the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 with respect to the value writing, and to eliminate the inconvenience of the subsequent processing.

  As described in steps S2914 to S2918, the electronic money management server 200 executes processing based on the processing status acquired from the mobile phone 100. For this reason, it is possible to execute necessary processing after the processing status is confirmed by the electronic money management server 200.

  Further, as described in steps S2916 to S2918, the electronic money management server 200 determines whether or not the processing statuses of the mobile phone 100 and the electronic money management server 200 match, and determines that they do not match. On this condition, an error handling completion mail for clearing the processing status of the mobile phone 100 is transmitted. For this reason, it is possible to save time and labor for confirmation by the operator.

  Further, as described in steps S2918, S1110, and step S1113, on condition that the error handling completion mail is transmitted by the electronic money management server 200 and the link information attached to the error handling completion mail is operated. Since the processing status is cleared, the processing on the electronic money management server 200 side is completed, and the user can be surely recognized that the processing status can be updated, and the processing status can be updated. The operation burden on the user can be reduced. In addition, since it is possible to prevent the processing status from being updated on the mobile phone 100 without sending an error handling completion mail from the electronic money management server 200, the processing status is compulsory due to user's misoperation or misuse. It can be prevented from being updated.

  Further, as described in step S1111 and step S1113, it is determined by the mobile phone 100 whether or not the link information operation is the first time, and the processing status is cleared on the condition that it is determined that the operation is the first time. Therefore, even if the link information is operated a plurality of times due to a user error or the like, the processing status can be prevented from being updated each time.

Next, a modification of the above-described embodiment will be described.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the electronic money management server 200 determines that the payment for the value purchase is completed, on the condition that the consumption breaking news is received from the payment server 280 in step S269, and the step The value issuing information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in S277. That is, 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 approval, performs the processing after value consideration settlement shown in FIG. 17, and registers the uncharged value etc. in the issue information DB 222 You should do it.

  (2) In the embodiment described above, 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 the 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.

  (3) 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.

  (4) In the embodiment described above, 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.

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

  (6) In the present embodiment, the area securing information is transmitted to the mobile phone 100 in step S236 of the AP 211 at the time of initial registration 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 association with 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.

  (7) In the embodiment described above, the electronic money management server 200 and the settlement server 280 have been described as examples of the service providing server. 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.

  (8) In the first embodiment described above, the data processing unit of the electronic money management server 200 displays the 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 for display 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. 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. Thus, the subsequent processing up to the writing of the electronic money information to the mobile phone 100 can be performed as a series of processing.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a financial institution server 500 is provided for each financial institution as a server of a financial institution used by a user to pay a provider of an electronic money game use service provider. explained. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the financial institution server used by the user may be a common financial institution server provided for a group of a plurality of financial institutions. In this case, when using financial institutions belonging to the same group, even if different financial institutions are used, communication is made with a common financial institution server provided for the group and payment is made. Further, the server used for paying the compensation is not limited to the server of the financial institution, but may be a server of an agency that communicates with the financial institution server registered by the user and performs payment of the compensation. That is, these cases are also included in the financial institution server.

  (12) In the first embodiment described above, the data processing of the electronic money management server 200 is performed in response to the financial institution designation information being transmitted in step S112 of FIG. The financial institution designation information is registered in the user information DB 221 by the unit 210 in step S224 of FIG.

  However, the financial institution designation information is not limited to being registered at the time of new member registration, and may be registered at another timing. For example, the value may be registered at the time of the initial purchase, or a menu for registering a financial institution is provided in the main menu of the electronic money application, and registration of financial institution designation information from the mobile phone 100 of the player is performed. It may be registered when there is a request.

  The same applies to the timing when the financial institution change process is performed. In the embodiment described above, the example in which the financial institution change process is performed in the value purchase process, that is, the financial institution can be changed at the time of value purchase has been described. It may be changed at another timing, or a menu for changing the financial institution is provided in the main menu of the electronic money application, and a request for changing the financial institution designation information from the mobile phone 100 of the player is made. It may be changed when it occurs.

  (13) In the above-described embodiment, information indicating the remaining amount is recorded on the prepaid card 371. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Only the card ID is recorded in the prepaid card 371, and information indicating the remaining amount is managed in correspondence with the card ID in a server such as the store server 800, and the prepaid card 371 is issued. Or when the remaining amount is subtracted from the prepaid card 371, the store server 800 may be exchanged.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, the mobile phone 100 has been described as an example of the information terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any information terminal that is operated by the user may be used. For example, the information terminal may be a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), a personal computer, a television receiver, a car navigation system, or the like. In addition, as an example of the transaction, the value purchase record is updated in step S2704 by the post-value-payment settlement processing (that is, purchase of value). 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.

  (15) 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.

  (16) In the embodiment described above, 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.

  (17) In the above-described embodiment, the balance management AP 214 in FIG. 45 performs processing for fraud according to the frequency of fraud for each member ID. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and processing for fraud may be performed according to the frequency of the total number of frauds in all mobile phones.

  (18) 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. As described above, an electronic money system that prohibits the use of a prepaid card 371 purchased by an unauthorized mobile phone 100 having a mobile ID of a member ID that has performed an 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.

  (19) 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 mobile 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. 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.

  (20) The settlement processing for the settlement of the compensation 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. However, the present invention is not limited to the use of the mobile phone 100, and the user provides electronic money.
