Description

  The present invention relates to a service information management server, a service information management method, and a service information management server program for managing a service of an electrical appliance used by a user.

  In recent years, portable terminals called smartphones and tablets have become widespread. Usually, these mobile terminals have a built-in SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card, and an exchange or the like specifies a telephone number based on a unique ID stored in the SIM card.

  Since the unique ID of this SIM card can also be used as an identifier for specifying the user who uses the mobile terminal, it is also used for user authentication (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2013-186549 A

  According to Patent Document 1, a payment process is disclosed with increased security by using a SIM card number for identity verification of a user who uses a gift card.

  However, in the method of Patent Document 1, since the system is built on the assumption that the SIM card and the mobile terminal (the user who uses the mobile phone) correspond one-to-one, the case where the mobile terminal or the SIM card is replaced. Can not respond.

  On the other hand, the function of a mobile terminal has been limited so that only a SIM card provided by a specific communication carrier (carrier) can be used for one mobile terminal. Therefore, since one mobile terminal and a SIM card correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis, the technique as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is effective to some extent. This is a restriction function called SIM lock, but in recent years, the SIM lock has been released, and there has been a situation where the mobile terminal and the unique ID of the SIM do not necessarily correspond one-to-one. For example, when the mobile terminals are the same and only the SIM card is exchanged, the method of Patent Document 1 is expected to cause confusion in the payment process.

  On the other hand, since the mobile terminal and the SIM card do not correspond one-to-one, the application installed in the mobile terminal is also affected. For example, an application installed in a mobile terminal includes highly confidential information and information that is not desired to be seen by others. Even if the SIM card is different, the mobile terminal cannot recognize that the user is different and can use the application. As a result, highly confidential information or information that other people do not want to see is seen. There is a fear.

  Furthermore, there is a case where an application or the like installed on a certain portable terminal is desired to be taken over with a similar setting to a newly exchanged portable terminal. At present, it is required to make the same setting again for a new portable terminal.

  In view of these problems, the present invention uses a unique ID that identifies an electrical appliance such as a portable terminal and an application ID that identifies the application itself, so that the electrical appliance owned by the user or the electrical appliance It is an object of the present invention to provide a service information management server and a service information management method capable of managing an application installed in an electrical appliance even when a card specifying a telephone number is exchanged.

[Service information stop processing]
FIG. 3 is a flowchart of service information management processing executed by the electrical appliance 10 and the service information management server 100. The processing performed by the module of each device described above will be described together with this processing.

  First, the electrical appliance 10 accepts installation of an application program that realizes each of the above modules (step S01). When the installation is completed, the electrical appliance 10 acquires its own hardware ID (serial number) as a product ID, and transmits the acquired product ID to the service information management server 100. At the same time, the user ID transmission module 20 acquires the user ID and password of each application installed in the electrical appliance 10 and transmits the acquired user ID and password to the service information management server 100. At the same time, the application ID transmission module 21 transmits an application ID for identifying an application installed in the electrical appliance 10 to the service information management server 100. At the same time, the SIM ID transmission module 22 acquires a SIM ID for specifying the telephone number of the electrical appliance 10, and transmits the acquired SIM ID to the service information management server 100 (step S02). User ID transmission module 20 The user ID transmitted by may be a unique ID for identifying the electrical appliance 10.

  The ID reception module 200 of the service information management server 100 receives the product ID, the user ID, the password, the application ID, and the SIM ID from the electrical appliance 10, and the ID storage module 300 stores them in association with each other. (Step S03). An example in which these are stored in association with each other is the ID correspondence table shown in FIG. The ID correspondence table is stored in the storage unit 130 of the service information management server 100.

  The ID correspondence table shown in FIG. 5 associates a SIM ID, an application name, a user ID, and a password. For example, an application name “A”, a user ID “KONOK”, and a password “xxxxxxxx” are associated with a terminal having a SIM ID “DNXXXX”. Similarly, an application name “B”, a user ID “XXOOOK”, and a password “xxxxxxxx” are associated with each other. Similarly, an application name “C”, a user ID “HHFKKKK”, and a password “xxxxxxxx” are associated with each other. In addition, although one SIM ID is shown as the ID correspondence table, a plurality of SIM IDs may be stored, a SIM ID may be stored for each application, or other methods may be used. good.

  Here, for the following explanation, the electric appliance 10c is an electric appliance having the same product ID as the electric appliance 10a, and a SIM card different from the SIM card used in the electric appliance 10a is inserted. And Therefore, although the product ID of the electrical product 10c is the same, the SIM ID of the electrical product 10c is different from that of the electrical product 10a.

  Next, when a SIM card is newly inserted, the electrical appliance 10c performs the same processing as in step S02 described above, and obtains the product ID, user ID, password, application ID, and SIM ID. It is acquired and transmitted to the service information management server 100 (step S04). In step S04, acquisition and transmission of various IDs may be performed each time an application installed in the electrical appliance 10c is activated.

  The ID reference module 310 of the service information management server 100 checks whether or not the received appliance 10c having the same SIM ID exists in the ID correspondence table (step S05). If there is no identical item (step S05: “NO”), the process proceeds to step S06. If there is the same item (step S05: “YES”), the service information management server 100 ends this process, and step S07 is not executed in the electrical appliance 10c. In this example, since the SIM ID of the electrical appliance 10c is different from the SIM ID of the electrical appliance 10a, it is determined that the SIM ID of the electrical appliance 10c is different from the SIM ID of the electrical appliance 10a (step S05). : "NO"). Even if the user ID is the same in step S05, if the SIM ID is different, the process proceeds to step S06. In addition, each process about the case where SIM ID of an electric appliance is the same is mentioned later.

  When the ID reference module 310 of the service information management server 100 refers to the ID correspondence table and determines that there is no SIM ID that is the same (step S05: “NO”), the start / stop instruction transmission module 230 An activation stop instruction for the application installed in the electrical appliance 10c is transmitted to the appliance 10c (step S06).

  The start / stop instruction receiving module 23 of the electrical appliance 10 c receives the start / stop instruction transmitted from the service information management server 100. Upon receiving the start / stop instruction, the electrical appliance 10c outputs a message related to the received start / stop instruction to the screen as shown in FIG. At the same time, the activation of the installed application is stopped (step S07).

  In the example of FIG. 3 described above, the case where the service information management server 100 is accessed with a SIM ID different from that of the electrical appliance 10a has been described. Next, the electrical appliance having the same SIM ID as that of the electrical appliance 10a is described. The case where the product 10b is used will be described with reference to FIG.

[Service information reflection processing]
First, the electrical appliance 10 accepts installation of an application program that realizes each of the above modules, similarly to step S01 described above (step S11). When the installation is completed, the product ID, the user ID, the password, the application ID, and the SIM ID are acquired and transmitted to the service information management server 100 as in step S02 (step S12).

  The ID reception module 200 of the service information management server 100 receives the product ID, the user ID, the password, the application ID, and the SIM ID as in step S03, and the ID storage module 300 associates them. (Step S13). An example in which these are stored in association with each other is the ID correspondence table shown in FIG. The ID correspondence table is stored in the storage unit 130 of the service information management server 100.

  Here, for the following description, it is assumed that the electric appliance 10b is an electric appliance having a product ID different from that of the electric appliance 10a, and the SIM card used in the electric appliance 10a is inserted. Therefore, the SIM ID of the electric appliance 10b is the same as that of the electric appliance 10a.

  Next, the same processing as step S04 is performed, and the product ID of the electrical appliance 10b and the SIM ID are transmitted to the service information management server 100 (step S14).

  The ID reference module 310 of the service information management server 100 performs the same process as in step S05, and checks whether or not the received SIM product with the same SIM ID exists in the ID correspondence table (step S15). If there is an identical item (step S15: “YES”), the process proceeds to step S16. If there is no identical thing (step S15: "NO"), the service information management server 100 will complete | finish a process, and step S17 will not be performed in the electrical appliance 10b. In this example, since the same SIM ID as that of the electric appliance 10b is registered in advance by the electric appliance 10a, it is determined that there is the same SIM ID as that of the electric appliance 10a (step S15: “YES”).

  When the ID reference module 310 of the service information management server 100 refers to the ID correspondence table and determines that there is the same SIM ID (step S15: “YES”), the installation instruction transmission module 240 determines the SIM ID. The application ID associated with the application ID is referred to, and an installation instruction for the application corresponding to the application ID is transmitted to the electrical appliance 10b (step S16).

  The installation instruction receiving module 24 of the electrical appliance 10b receives the application installation instruction transmitted from the service information management server 100. Upon receiving the installation instruction, the electrical appliance 10b outputs an image related to the received installation instruction on the screen as shown in FIG. When the user operates “YES” to be displayed, the application installed in the electrical appliance 10a is installed in the electrical appliance 10b (step S17). Further, when the user operates “NO” displayed, the application installed in the electrical appliance 10a is not installed in the electrical appliance 10b.

  In step S17, the electrical appliance 10b searches for an application associated with its own SIM ID based on the SIM ID, the application ID, the user ID, and the password stored in the service information management server 100. Determine which applications are not installed. Specifically, the application ID corresponding to the application installed in itself is transmitted to the service information management server 100. The service information management server 100 compares the received application ID with the stored application ID. If there is an application ID of an application that has not been installed as a result of the comparison, the application is transmitted to the electrical appliance 10b using the user ID and password stored in association with the application. The electrical appliance 10b receives and installs this application.

  The application may be installed by the electrical appliance 10b itself. Specifically, its own SIM ID is transmitted to the service information management server 100, and an application ID associated with this SIM ID is acquired from the service information management server 100. The acquired application ID is compared with the application ID installed in itself. If there is an application ID of an application that has not been installed as a result of the comparison, the user ID and password stored in association with this application are acquired from the service information management server 100. The electrical appliance 10b installs the target application using the acquired user ID and password. In addition, the method of installing an application in the electrical appliance 10b is not limited to the method described above, and other methods may be used.

  The means and functions described above are realized by a computer (including a CPU, an information processing apparatus, and various terminals) reading and executing a predetermined program. The program is provided in a form recorded on a computer-readable recording medium such as a flexible disk, CD (CD-ROM, etc.), DVD (DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, etc.), for example. In this case, the computer reads the program from the recording medium, transfers it to the internal storage device or the external storage device, stores it, and executes it. The program may be recorded in advance in a storage device (recording medium) such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, or a magneto-optical disk, and provided from the storage device to a computer via a communication line.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to these embodiment mentioned above. The effects described in the embodiments of the present invention are only the most preferable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are limited to those described in the embodiments of the present invention. is not.
