The storage unit 71 includes a card information storage unit 711 and a point storage unit 712. The card information storage unit 711 is a card that can be used by the user, such as a charge balance of the prepaid card, a charge amount for the use of the credit card, and an available amount of the credit card in association with identification information for identifying the user who uses the service. The information about is memorized. The information stored in the card information storage unit 711 is, for example, information stored in the card management server 2 in the electronic currency management system S described above (see FIGS. 3A and 3B).
The point storage unit 712 stores the number of points usable by the user in association with identification information (user ID or management number) for identifying the user who uses the service. The information stored in the point storage unit 712 is, for example, information stored in the point management server 4 in the electronic currency management system S (see FIG. 3C).

  The user terminal 12 includes a display unit 91, a communication unit 92, a storage unit 93, and a control unit 94. The display unit 91 is a liquid crystal display, for example, and displays various application screens of the user terminal 12. A touch panel 911 is provided on the surface of the display unit 91. The communication unit 92 is a LAN controller, for example, and transmits / receives data to / from the electronic currency management apparatus 10 via a network such as the Internet.

  The storage unit 93 is a storage medium such as a memory such as a ROM and a RAM, and stores a program for operating the control unit 94 and data generated when the control unit 94 operates. The storage unit 93 stores, for example, relationship information indicating relationships between a plurality of applications that can be executed by the user terminal 12.

  The control unit 94 is, for example, a CPU, and implements various functions by executing a program stored in the storage unit 93. When the user terminal 12 can execute an application other than the card management application and the card management application, the control unit 94 displays either the screen of the card management application or the screen of another application on the display unit 91. Functions as a control unit. Further, the control unit 94 functions as an operation reception unit that receives an operation input by the user via the touch panel 911.

  When the user touches one of the operation images 602 for selecting an application, the user terminal 12 activates the application corresponding to the touched operation image 602 and displays the screen of the activated application. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a screen of a mail order site displayed after the mail order application B is activated. In FIG. 6B, an image of a plurality of products and the price of each product are displayed in an area 605. An operation image 606 for obtaining a coupon is also displayed. An operation image 607 for returning to the card management application displayed before the transition to the screen of FIG. 6B is displayed at the top of the screen. When the user touches the operation image 607, the user terminal 12 returns to the screen of FIG.

  Note that the mode of the operation image 607 for returning to the card management application is arbitrary, and depending on the content of the displayed screen, when the operation image 603 is touched, instead of returning to the previous page, the card management application 607 It is also possible to return to the screen. For example, when the content of the displayed screen is related to information that can be displayed by the card management application, when the operation image 603 is touched, the screen displayed on the user terminal 12 is the same as the displayed screen. Transition to the screen of the card management application including information related to the contents.

  When the user touches one of the images of the plurality of products on the screen of FIG. 6B, detailed information regarding the product is displayed. FIG. 7A shows detailed information of the smartphone cover DX displayed when the image of the smartphone cover DX displayed in FIG. 6B is touched. Below the detailed information, an operation image 608 for purchasing a product is displayed. Even in this state, the operation image 607 for returning to the screen of the card management application displayed before the screen of the mail order application B is displayed.

  FIG. 7B shows a screen transitioned in response to the touch of the operation image 607 for returning to the screen of the card management application on the screen shown in FIG. The screen shown in FIG. 7B is different from the screen shown in FIG. 6A in that an operation image 609 for returning to the mail order application B is displayed at the top. As shown in FIG. 7B, the user terminal 12 selects a plurality of applications together with the operation image for returning to the mail order application B or instead of the operation image for returning to the mail order application B. Transition by changing the mode of the operation image for selecting the mail order application B that was activated before the transition to the screen of FIG. The user may be notified of the original application.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating another example of screen transition. The screen shown in FIG. 8A is the same as the screen shown in FIG. When the user terminal 12 touches the operation image 607 for transitioning to the card management application on the screen shown in FIG. 8A, among the plurality of screens that can be displayed by the card management application, FIG. 7 is different from the screen transition example shown in FIG. 7 in that the screen transitions to a screen including information related to the screen shown in FIG.

  For example, when the first application receives a second operation that is necessary based on the result of the first operation on the screen of the second application, the control unit 94 responds to a predetermined operation being performed. Transition to the screen in the first application. For example, the control unit 94 makes a transition to a screen in a card management application that can accept an operation for confirming a charge balance of a point card in response to an operation for purchasing a product on the screen of a mail order application. .

  Assume that the user performs a purchase operation (first operation) by touching the operation image 608 on the screen shown in FIG. 8A for purchasing a product. In this case, the user needs to perform an operation (second operation) for selecting a payment method after confirming the balance of the prepaid card, the usable amount of the credit card, and the like. Since the card management application can accept an operation of selecting a payment means, when the operation image 607 “Return to card management application” is touched on the screen shown in FIG. Transition to the application screen.

  At this time, in response to the touch of the operation image 607 “Return to card management application” while the screen of the mail order application shown in FIG. You may change to the screen in the card management application determined based on the relationship with the application. For example, the control unit 94 makes a transition to a screen having a necessary content when an operation on the screen of the mail order application is performed among a plurality of screens that can be displayed by the card management application. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the control unit 94 has an area 610 for displaying a prepaid card balance, a credit card usable amount, and the like among a plurality of screens that can be displayed by the card management application. The screen is changed to the screen shown in FIG. 8B including the operation image 611 for selecting the screen. In this way, the user can easily access information that can be confirmed on the screen of another application.

[Other screen transition rules]
The conditions under which the control unit 94 transitions between screens are not limited to the above-described conditions, and the control unit 94 can change screens between applications based on various rules that define the relationship between the first application and the second application. Can be transitioned.

  As an example, the control unit 94 is provided on the condition that information related to the first application is changed by the operation performed by the user on the screen of the second application, and the changed information is reflected on the screen in the first application. It is good also as what changes to the screen in a 1st application. For example, it is assumed that the operation image 606 for obtaining a coupon is touched on the screen in the mail order application shown in FIG. In this case, the number of coupons owned by the user has increased. Therefore, the control unit 94 displays a list of coupons held by the user among a plurality of screens that can be displayed by the card management application in response to the operation image 607 for returning to the card management application being touched. Transition to.

  As another example, it is assumed that the operation image 608 for purchasing the selected product is touched on the screen in the mail order application shown in FIG. 8A and points are given to the user. In this case, since the number of points held by the user changes, the control unit 94, among the plurality of screens that can be displayed by the card management application, in response to the touch of the operation image 608 for returning to the card management application. Then, the screen is changed to a screen for displaying the point balance as shown in FIG.

  Moreover, the control part 94 may determine whether it changes to a 1st application based on the content displayed on the screen of a 2nd application. For example, when the content displayed on the screen of the mail-order sales application is not related to the card management application as in the outline explanation of the company operating the mail-order sales site, the control unit 94 displays the screen of the card management application. The operation image 607 for returning to is not displayed.

  Based on the content displayed on the screen of the second application, the control unit 94 may determine which screen of the plurality of screens that can be displayed by the first application. For example, it is assumed that the card management application can display a screen for displaying coupons that can be acquired by the user. In this case, if the card management application can provide the coupon for the product displayed on the screen of the mail order application, the control unit 94 makes a transition to the screen displaying the coupon among the plurality of screens of the card management application. . If the card management application cannot provide the coupon for the product displayed on the screen of the mail order application, the control unit 94 makes a transition to a screen for selecting a payment means instead of a screen for displaying the coupon.

  When the control unit 94 detects in S102 that an operation of transitioning to the second application among other applications has been performed (Yes in S102), the control unit 94 displays the screen of the second application on the display unit 91 (S103). In addition, the control unit 94 acquires relationship information indicating the relationship between the first application and the second application from the storage unit 93 (S104). The control unit 94 may acquire the relationship information before transitioning to the screen of the second application, or may acquire the relationship information after transitioning to the screen of the second application.

  Subsequently, the control unit 94 determines whether or not the second application is associated with the first application based on the relationship information acquired in S104 (S105). When it is determined in S105 that the second application is associated with the first application (Yes in S105), the control unit 94 displays an operation image for returning to the first application on the screen of the second application ( S106).

  Thereafter, while the screen of the second application is being displayed, the control unit 94 monitors whether or not the operation image for returning to the first application is touched (S107). When detecting that the operation image is touched in S107 (Yes in S107), the control unit 94 makes a transition to the screen of the first application (S108). When the control unit 94 determines in S105 that the second application is not associated with the first application (No in S105), the control unit 94 ends the process for displaying the operation image, 2 Continue to display the application screen.

  In the above description, it is assumed that each application including the first application and the second application is an application stored in the storage unit 93 of the user terminal 12. The application may be a web application provided by a web server. In this case, the Web application may be Web content displayed on the user terminal 12 by downloading the markup language.
