As shown in FIG. 3, in the management system, for example, a portable terminal 21 is connected to a network 41 as a server (portable item management apparatus) 1 and a client. In addition, the server 1 and the IC card supplier 31 are connected to the network 42. The network 41 may be, for example, a mobile phone network by a telecommunications carrier. The network 42 may be a computer network such as the Internet. The network 41 and the network 42 may be the same network.

Description of Functional Configuration of Portable Item Management Device (Server) As shown in FIG. 3, the server 1 includes an association unit 11, a terminal-IC card association database (terminal-IC card association DB) 12, a first For example, the IC card usage notification unit 13 as the second acquisition unit, the terminal information request unit 14 as the second acquisition unit, the state verification unit 15 as the detection unit, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 as the determination unit, and the management unit as the management unit, for example An information management unit 17 is provided. These units 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 and the terminal-IC card association database 12 are realized by the CPU 2 executing a program that implements each unit. The terminal-IC card association database 12 may be developed in the RAM 4, for example.

  The associating unit 11 receives the terminal ID (terminal identifier) of the portable terminal 21 and the IC card ID (IC card identifier) of the IC card via the network 41 from the portable terminal 21. The association unit 11 associates the terminal ID with the IC card ID and stores them in the terminal-IC card association database 12. The associating unit 11 notifies the IC card usage notification unit 13 of the IC card ID. An example of the terminal-IC card association database 12 is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a terminal-IC card association database according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4, each record of the terminal-IC card association database 12 is provided with, for example, a terminal ID field, an IC card ID field, and a valid flag field. In the terminal ID field, the terminal ID associated with the IC card ID by the associating unit 11 is stored. The IC card ID field stores the IC card ID associated with the terminal ID by the association unit 11. The valid flag field stores a flag indicating that the server 1 is valid as a management target. When the IC card supplier 31 is notified that the IC card usage information has been accepted to the server 1, the corresponding IC card ID becomes valid as a management target by the server 1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the IC card use notification unit 13 sends an IC card to the server 1 when the IC card with the IC card ID notified from the association unit 11 is used by the IC card supplier 31 via the network 42. Request to notify card usage information. When the IC card usage notification unit 13 receives a notification from the IC card supplier 31 through the network 42 that the IC card usage information has been accepted to the server 1, the IC card usage notification unit 13 stores the information in the terminal-IC card association database 12. The valid flag of the corresponding IC card ID is made valid (ON). The IC card usage notification unit 13 receives the IC card ID and the IC card usage information of the IC card ID from the IC card supplier 31 via the network 42. The IC card usage notification unit 13 notifies the terminal information request unit 14 of the IC card ID and usage information of the IC card of this IC card ID. An example of IC card usage information is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of usage information of an IC card according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, in the IC card usage information 32, for example, “automatic ticket gate” or the like, the type of equipment in which the IC card was used, the usage type such as “fare payment”, the usage date, and the entry date. It contains various information such as routes, stations, the balance of electronic money, and transaction serial numbers.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, the terminal information request unit 14 acquires the terminal ID associated with the IC card ID notified from the IC card use notification unit 13 from the terminal-IC card association database 12. The terminal information request unit 14 requests terminal state information indicating the state of the terminal from the mobile terminal 21 having the terminal ID acquired from the terminal-IC card association database 12 via the network 41. The terminal information request unit 14 receives terminal state information from the mobile terminal 21 via the network 41. The terminal state information may include, for example, information related to the position of the mobile terminal 21. The terminal state information may include information related to the movement of the mobile terminal 21, for example. The terminal information request unit 14 notifies the state verification unit 15 of the terminal state information of the mobile terminal 21 and the usage information of the IC card associated with the mobile terminal 21.

  Based on the terminal status information and the IC card usage information notified from the terminal information request unit 14, the status verification unit 15 obtains the user status obtained from the terminal status information and the user status obtained from the IC card usage information. Whether or not there is a difference is determined. As an example of a user's state, a user's position and movement are mentioned, for example.

  For example, when the current position information of the mobile terminal 21 obtained from the terminal state information is latitude and longitude information, the state matching unit 15 sets the latitude and longitude information at the facility specified by the latitude and longitude. It may be converted into (building) information. A service for converting latitude and longitude information into facility information is provided by, for example, a web service. The state verification unit 15 uses the facility information obtained from the terminal state information and the use facility information of the 6th to 7th bytes or the 8th to 9th bytes of the usage information 32 of the IC card shown in FIG. Or station information).

  For example, the state collation unit 15 may convert the device type information of the 0th byte in the IC card usage information 32 shown in FIG. 5 into the state of the IC card. The state verification unit 15 may use a conversion table when converting the device type information into the state of the IC card. An example of a conversion table for converting the state of the IC card is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of an IC card state conversion table according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, in the IC card state conversion table 18, the user state corresponding to the device type in which the IC card is used is registered in advance. For example, if the device type in which the IC card is used is “automatic ticket gate”, it is considered that the user walks through the automatic ticket gate, so “walking” is registered as the user status in the IC card status conversion table 18. Has been. If the device type in which the IC card is used is “payment” or “purchase”, it is considered that the user has stopped at a vending machine such as a vending machine or a cash register. “Still” is registered as the user status. The IC card state conversion table 18 shown in FIG. 6 may be developed in the RAM 4, for example. The state collation unit 15 collates terminal movement information obtained from the terminal state information with IC card (user) state information obtained from, for example, the IC card state conversion table 18 shown in FIG. Good.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when there is no difference in the user status obtained from the terminal status information and the IC card usage information, the status verification unit 15 sends the terminal status information and the IC card usage information to the information management unit 17. To be notified. When there is a difference between the user status obtained from the terminal status information and the IC card usage information, the status verification unit 15 notifies the loss / misplacement determination unit 16 of the terminal status information and the IC card usage information. The state matching unit 15 may determine that there is no difference in the user state when the information on the position of the mobile terminal 21 matches the information on the position of the IC card. The state collation unit 15 may determine that there is no difference in the user state when the movement information of the mobile terminal 21 and the movement information of the IC card match. The state collation unit 15 may determine that there is no difference in the user state when the position information and movement information of the mobile terminal 21 and the position information and movement information of the IC card match each other.

  The information management unit 17 stores the terminal status information notified from the status verification unit 15 and the usage information of the IC card as a set and stores them as a past history. The information management unit 17 includes a database of terminal state information and IC card usage information stored as past history. An example of a history database of terminal status information and IC card usage information is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a history database according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, in the history database 19, for example, every time an IC card is used, there is a mobile terminal when the IC card is used together with information on the use position of the IC card and the type of device used. The information on the building and the movement information of the mobile terminal are registered. The history database 19 shown in FIG. 7 may be expanded in the RAM 4, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the lost / forgotten determination unit 16 determines whether the IC card and the portable terminal 21 have been lost or left out based on the terminal state information and the IC card usage information notified from the state verification unit 15. For example, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 compares the current usage position of the IC card acquired from the usage information of the IC card with the history database 19 and determines whether or not the current usage position of the IC card exists in the history database 19. Determine.

  When the current use position of the IC card is not in the history database 19, since the user has never used the IC card at the current use position of the IC card in the past, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 determines whether the IC card is lost or not. You may determine with the possibility that misplacement has occurred. In this case, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 may request the IC card supplier 31 to perform a process of temporarily locking the IC card (automatic lock process). In the state where the IC card is temporarily locked, the IC card may not be used in, for example, an automatic ticket gate or a vending machine. That is, in a state where the IC card is temporarily locked, the IC card may be used only through a person such as a station employee or a cashier salesperson. When using the IC card via a person with the IC card temporarily locked, personal information such as name and date of birth may be confirmed. In that case, it is possible to prevent a person other than the owner of the IC card from using the IC card illegally.

  On the other hand, when the current use position of the IC card is in the history database 19, the user has used the IC card at the current use position of the IC card in the past, so it is assumed that the IC card has been used correctly this time. May be. Therefore, the lost / forgotten determination unit 16 may determine that the IC card has not been lost or misplaced. In addition, the lost / lost determination unit 16 compares the current position of the mobile terminal 21 acquired from the terminal state information with the history database 19 and determines whether the history database 19 has the current position of the mobile terminal 21. To do.

  If the current position of the mobile terminal 21 is not in the history database 19, the current position of the mobile terminal 21 is outside the user's activity range, so the lost / lost determination unit 16 has lost or misplaced the mobile terminal 21. It may be determined that the possibility is high. In this case, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 may notify the mobile terminal 21 to perform a temporary lock process (automatic lock process). When the portable terminal 21 is temporarily locked, various functions of the portable terminal 21 may not be used until a specific code or password is input to the portable terminal 21, for example. An example of a response from the mobile terminal 21 is that the user inputs a specific code or password to the mobile terminal 21, for example. By temporarily locking the mobile terminal 21, it is possible to prevent a person other than the owner of the mobile terminal 21 from using the mobile terminal 21 illegally.

  On the other hand, when the current position of the mobile terminal 21 is in the history database 19, the current position of the mobile terminal 21 is within the user's activity range. It may be determined that it has not occurred. In this case, it is difficult for the lost / forgotten determination determination unit 16 to determine which of the IC card and the portable terminal 21 is lost or misplaced. Therefore, the lost / placed-off determination unit 16 may notify both the IC card supplier 31 and the portable terminal 21 to perform a temporary lock process (automatic lock process).

  The lost / misplaced determination unit 16 may notify the portable terminal 21 of an alarm after notifying one or both of the IC card supplier 31 and the portable terminal 21 of the temporary lock. The lost / misplaced determination unit 16 may receive a response from the mobile terminal 21 in response to the alarm notification to the mobile terminal 21.

  When there is a response from the portable terminal 21 (for example, input of a password), the lost / forgotten determination unit 16 determines that the IC card has been lost or misplaced, and locks the IC card to the IC card supplier 31. You may request to perform the process to perform (automatic lock process). When the IC card is fully locked, the IC card may not be used even when a person is used, for example.

  On the other hand, when there is no response from the mobile terminal 21, the lost / forgotten determination unit 16 determines that the mobile terminal 21 has been lost or misplaced, and performs a process of automatically locking the mobile terminal 21 (automatic lock process). You may notify as follows. When the mobile terminal 21 is fully locked, all the functions of the mobile terminal 21 may not be used. In the functional configuration of the server 1, illustration and description of configurations that are not related to the portable product management system are omitted.

The current position of the portable terminal 21 may be given as latitude and longitude data (for example, (35.681422,139.7666602)), or may be given as address or facility (building) information. The current position detection unit 24 stores the current position of the mobile terminal 21 in the terminal state information database 26.

  The three-axis sensor 23 is an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, or the like, and detects a three-dimensional acceleration generated in the mobile terminal 21. The motion detection unit 25 calculates the movement amount, acceleration amount, and tilt amount of the mobile terminal 21 based on the three-dimensional acceleration detected by the three-axis sensor 23, and detects the movement of the owner of the mobile terminal 21. Examples of the movement of the owner of the mobile terminal 21 include, for example, stationary, walking, running, train, climbing the stairs, descending the stairs, raising the elevator or lowering the elevator. The triaxial sensor 23 and the motion detection unit 25 may periodically detect the movement of the mobile terminal 21 or may detect when the terminal state information is requested from the server 1. The motion detection unit 25 stores the motion of the mobile terminal 21 in the terminal state information database 26.

  The terminal status information database 26 stores the current position of the mobile terminal 21 notified from the current position detection unit 24. The terminal state information database 26 stores the movement of the mobile terminal 21 notified from the movement detecting unit 25. When terminal state information is requested from the server 1, the terminal information notification unit 27 notifies the server 1 of information stored in the terminal state information database 26, for example, current position and movement information of the mobile terminal 21.

  Further, the mobile terminal 21 notifies the server 1 as a set of the terminal ID and the IC card ID input to the mobile terminal 21 by the user. The mobile terminal 21 receives the alarm notification from the server 1 and presents the alarm notification to the user of the mobile terminal 21. For example, when receiving an alarm notification from the server 1, the mobile terminal 21 may display a screen that prompts the user to input a specific code or password on the image display unit. The portable terminal 21 notifies the server 1 of a user response to the alarm notification from the server 1. When the portable terminal 21 receives a request for a process for performing the temporary lock or the main lock from the server 1, the mobile terminal 21 performs a process for the temporary lock or the main lock. In addition, in the structure of the portable terminal 21, illustration and description are abbreviate | omitted about the structure which is not related to the management system of portable goods.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart of the lost / lost determination process in the portable product management method according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 11, when the lost / missed determination process is started, first, the lost / missed determination unit 16 refers to the history database to determine whether or not the IC card has been used in the past. (Step S41). If it is not present (step S41: No), the lost / placed determination unit 16 determines that there is a high possibility that the IC card is lost or left behind (step S47), and notifies the IC card supplier 31 of a request for temporary lock of the IC card. (Step S48).

  On the other hand, when the use position of the IC card is in the past (step S41: Yes), the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 refers to the history database to determine whether the current position of the mobile terminal 21 is in the past. (Step S42). If it is not present (step S42: No), the loss / forgetting determination unit 16 determines that the mobile terminal 21 is likely to be lost or left behind (step S45), and notifies the mobile terminal 21 of a temporary lock (step S46). . When the current position of the mobile terminal 21 is in the past (step S42: Yes), it is difficult for the lost / forgotten determination determination unit 16 to determine which of the IC card and the mobile terminal 21 is lost or left behind (step S42). S43). Therefore, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 may notify the temporary lock to both the IC card and the portable terminal 21 (step S44).

  After notifying the IC card supplier 31 or the portable terminal 21 of the temporary lock, the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 may notify the portable terminal 21 of an alarm (step S49). The lost / misplaced determination unit 16 determines whether or not there is a user response to the alarm from the mobile terminal 21 (step S50). If there is a response (step S50: Yes), the IC card has been lost or left behind, so the lost / placed determination unit 16 notifies the IC card supplier 31 of this lock (step S51). Terminate the process. If there is no response (step S50: No), it means that the mobile terminal 21 has been lost or misplaced, so the lost / misplaced determination unit 16 notifies the mobile terminal 21 of this lock (step S52). Terminate the process.

  According to the second embodiment, regardless of which of the IC card and the portable terminal leaves the owner, the server 1 can determine the portable item that has left the owner. Therefore, the server 1 temporarily locks and secures the temporary lock and book to the IC card supplier when the IC card is away from the owner, and to the portable terminal when the portable terminal is away from the owner. It is possible to notify the lock processing. Thereby, the IC card or the portable terminal is temporarily locked or permanently locked.
