The mobile phone 10 receives this completion notification and ends the process.

Note that the transmission of the confirmation notification in step S68 of the third embodiment described above has been described with respect to the user registration device 40 from the mobile phone 10, but may be performed via the reader / writer 20. . For example, when the decryption is correctly performed is stored in the storage unit 14 and the mobile phone 10 is brought close to the reader / writer 20 when the product is purchased or the service is provided next time at the store, You may make it transmit that the decoding was correctly performed to the user registration apparatus 40 via the reader / writer 20. FIG.
According to the third embodiment, since the mobile phone 10 transmits a confirmation notification and receives the result, the user registration device 40 updates the registration status information and completes the registration process. You can register as a member.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described. In the third embodiment described above, when the mobile phone 10 can correctly decrypt the registration end information, the mobile phone 10 transmits a confirmation notification to the user registration device 40 without any user operation input. However, the fourth embodiment is different in that a confirmation notification is made according to a user operation. That is, in step S66 of FIG. 9, the registration end information that has been decrypted is displayed on the display unit 12. At this time, if the decryption is correctly performed, the registration end information is displayed so that the user can understand the display contents. If the key code is incorrect or there is no key code, the decryption is correctly performed. Therefore, information that the user cannot understand the display content is displayed.

  If decryption is performed correctly, for example, clicking the “Confirm” button completes the registration of user information. Do you want to register? A message for confirming the intention of registration such as “” and a “confirm” button are displayed in a state that the user can visually recognize and understand. When the “confirm” button is clicked by the user, a confirmation notification is transmitted from the mobile phone 10 to the user registration device 40, the registration status information is rewritten to “1” in the user registration device 40, and the registration process is completed. .

  In this embodiment, the case where a confirmation notification is transmitted from the mobile phone 10 to the user registration device 40 when the “confirm” button is clicked has been described. However, as in the third embodiment, the mobile phone 10 A confirmation notification may be transmitted from the telephone 10 to the reader / writer 20 and transmitted from the reader / writer 20 to the user registration device 40 for transmission. Here, the information of the confirmation notification is stored in the storage unit 14, and when the mobile phone 10 is brought close to the reader / writer 20 the next time the product is purchased or the service is provided at the store, the confirmation notification is made. May be read out and transmitted to the user registration device 40 via the reader / writer 20.

In addition, when decoding cannot be performed correctly, even if the decoding result is displayed on the display unit 12, the user cannot understand the content displayed on the screen. In this case, it may be detected that the input corresponding to the click of the “Confirm” button has not been performed for a certain period of time, and the user registration process is interrupted and terminated.
Further, the case where the user registration is interrupted and terminated when the decryption cannot be correctly performed has been described. However, if the decryption cannot be performed because the mobile phone 10 does not store the key code, the key code is A message indicating that the message is not stored may be displayed on the display unit 12. Accordingly, it is possible to notify that there is a possibility that user registration has been performed by a user other than the user such as impersonation.
According to the fourth embodiment, since the user's intention is input in the final process of the member registration process, the member registration with higher reliability can be performed.

Next, a fifth embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, a case where a transfer mail address is used in addition to the electronic mail address of the mobile phone 10 will be described.
FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a configuration of the user registration system 1 in the fifth embodiment. Here, the point which the transfer server 60 is provided in the user registration apparatus 40 with respect to the structure of FIG.

FIG. 11 is a sequence diagram for explaining the operation of the user registration device 40 in the fifth embodiment.
Here, processing equivalent to steps S51 to S56 of the fourth embodiment is performed from step S81 to step S86.
Next, when a user registration instruction is input from the user via the input unit 13 (step S87), the mobile phone 10 transmits registration request information including terminal identification information to the reader / writer 20 (step S88). Here, when a user registration instruction is input, registration desired information including terminal identification information is ready to be transmitted, and when it is next approached to the reader / writer 20, it has been brought close to the reader / writer 20. The registration request information including the terminal identification information may be detected and transmitted to the reader / writer 20. The reader / writer 20 transmits this registration request information to the user registration device 40 (step S89).

  When receiving the registration request information, the user registration device 40 generates a transfer mail address, associates the generated transfer mail address with the terminal identification information included in the received registration request information, and stores it as transfer information. 43 (step S90). Then, the user registration device 40 encrypts the generated transfer e-mail address using the terminal identification information included in the received registration request information (step S91), and transmits it to the mobile phone 10 via the reader / writer 20 ( Step S92, 93).

The cellular phone 10 decrypts the encrypted transfer e-mail address using the terminal identification information stored in the mobile phone 10 (step S94), and stores it in the storage unit 14. Then, the mobile phone 10 encrypts the e-mail address using its own terminal identification information with the decrypted transfer e-mail address as the destination (step S95), and transmits it as registration confirmation information (steps S96 and 97).
When the encrypted e-mail address is transmitted to the transfer e-mail address as the registration confirmation information, the user registration device 40 reads out the terminal identification information corresponding to the encrypted e-mail address from the storage unit 43 and reads it out. Using the terminal identification information, the encrypted electronic mail address is decrypted (step S98), and the decrypted electronic mail address is stored in the storage unit 43 in association with the terminal identification information (step S99). Then, the user registration device 40 transmits registration end information to the e-mail address of the mobile phone 10 (step S100).

  When the mobile phone 10 receives the registration end information from the user registration device 40, the mobile phone 10 displays the received registration end information on the display unit 12.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating the flow of the user registration system 1 in the fifth embodiment. Similarly to the processing described in FIG. 11, when the registration request information is received from the mobile phone 10 (step S110), the user registration device 40 generates a transfer e-mail address and stores the generated transfer e-mail address in itself. At the same time, it is registered in the transfer server 60 (step S112) and notified to the mobile phone 10 (step S112). And user registration processing like FIG.11 step S91-S101 is performed continuously, and user registration is completed. After the user registration is completed, when the user registration device 40 sends an e-mail related to the service to the transfer e-mail address, the transfer mail server 60 transmits the e-mail related to the service to the e-mail address of the transfer destination. . Here, when the mail address of the carrier of the mobile phone 10 is used as the transfer destination mail address, an email related to the service is transmitted from the transfer server 60 to the mobile phone 10 via the carrier mail server 70 (steps S112 and 113). ). Thereby, the user can access the transfer mail server 60 using the mobile phone 10 at an arbitrary timing, and can browse the e-mail transmitted to the transfer e-mail address.

  According to the fifth embodiment, when registering user information, in addition to the e-mail address of the mobile phone 10, the transfer e-mail address is registered. Can be sent to the forwarding email address. As a result, the user can manage information related to the service by dividing it into a mail address different from the electronic mail address.

Further, for example, the mobile phone 10 may specify whether or not to transfer mail from the transfer server 60 to the carrier mail server 70.
For example, every time information related to the service is transmitted from the user registration device 40 to the transfer server 60, it is notified that the mail has been received via the carrier mail server 70. With this notification as a trigger, the user can access the transfer server 60 using the mobile phone 10 and browse the e-mail.
On the other hand, when the user designates not to transfer, the e-mail transmitted from the user registration device 40 to the transfer server 60 is accumulated in the transfer server 60 and is not transferred to the carrier mail server 70. In this case, the user can access the transfer server 60 at his / her arbitrary timing and browse information related to the service. Thereby, it is not necessary to receive an e-mail on the mobile phone 10 side at the timing when the information about the service is transmitted.

  In the fifth embodiment described above, the service providing e-mail address (transfer e-mail address) is individual information assigned to each mobile phone 10, so that it is used as an encryption key. May be.

  According to the first to fifth embodiments described above, since user registration is performed via the reader / writer 20, the user visits the store where the user registration is to be performed, and the electronic phone 10 of the mobile phone 10 is registered at the cash register. Since user registration is performed together when performing settlement using the money function, the user reads a two-dimensional bar code for user registration with a mobile phone to perform user registration. Information for user registration can be transmitted and received without performing a special operation for user registration such as sending a mail and accessing the URL described in the returned mail to perform user registration. For this reason, it is possible to reduce the load on the user for user registration.

  In addition, since user registration is performed using the terminal identification information, it is possible to avoid impersonation of the user and user registration by other users without permission.

  In the embodiment described above, the functions of the non-contact IC function control unit 15 may be installed in the mobile phone 10 in advance, or an application that realizes these functions is downloaded from the user registration device 40. Alternatively, it is realized by copying the software from the reader / writer 20 to the non-contact IC when the mobile phone 10 is brought close to the reader / writer 20 to read the terminal identification information or when the registration request information is received. May be. In addition, other known methods may be used.

Good. As a result, even if the information related to the service transmitted to the mobile phone 10 is transferred to the mobile phone 10 of another user, the terminal identification information of the transfer destination cannot decrypt the information related to the service. It is possible to prevent the information regarding the service from being used by the user of the mobile phone 10. For example, when using coupon or discount service information as service-related information, only the user who has performed user registration can use it.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the user registration device 40 generates information that is encrypted using the terminal identification information extracted at random as a secondary barcode and sells it by attaching it to a product or installing it at a store. You may make it print on a handbill and distribute. When these two-dimensional barcodes are read by the mobile phone 10 by the user and can be correctly decoded by the terminal identification information of the mobile phone 10 that has read, the winning is selected and the service is provided for the selected user be able to. In this case, when the user brings the winning two-dimensional barcode to the store and the winning is confirmed at the store, the user can receive the service.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the user registration device 40 is connected to the reader / writer 20 via the network 30 has been described, but communication is performed by bringing the mobile phone 10 closer to within a predetermined communication range. If it is possible, a communication device other than the reader / writer 20 may be connected, or the communication device may be mounted on the user registration device 40.

  Also, a program for realizing the functions of the mobile phone 10 and the user registration device 40 in FIG. 1 is recorded on a computer-readable recording medium, and the program recorded on the recording medium is read into a computer system and executed. By doing so, the user registration process may be performed. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices.
