Description

The present invention relates to management systems, control methods and programs.

In recent years, there have been an increasing number of situations in which transactions such as credit cards, debit cards, and electronic money are carried out according to the transmission and reception of electronic information without the delivery of cash.

On the other hand, there are still scenes where cash is customarily handed over. For example, a wedding reception congratulatory money. Generally, participants attending a reception wrap cash and hand it to the receptionist at the reception. When cash is delivered in this way, it takes time to confirm the amount at the time of receipt, it takes time to process the subsequent payment and receipt, and there is a risk of theft prevention due to cash management. Various problems occur.

Non-Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for using a virtual currency. In Non-Patent Document 1, a two-dimensional code is displayed on the display of the beneficiary's mobile terminal. Then, the two-dimensional code is read using the camera of the sender's mobile terminal, and the remittance instruction is input. By such a process, the virtual currency is delivered from the sender to the recipient.

By using the technology of Non-Patent Document 1, face-to-face electronic money (virtual currency) can be delivered without preparing a dedicated terminal. If electronic money is handed over, the above-mentioned various problems can be solved.

[composition]
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an overall configuration including the management system 200 according to the present embodiment. The management system 200 includes a first user terminal 120 and a second user terminal 140. The management system 200 cooperates with the virtual currency network system 250. That is, the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 can send and receive transaction data to and from the virtual currency network system 250, respectively. The first user terminal 120 has an acquisition unit 121, a first transmission unit 122, a first display unit 123, and an instruction reception unit 124. The second user terminal 140 has a second display unit 141, a second transmission unit 142, a reception unit 143, and a management unit 144.

The configuration shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2 is merely an example, and is not limited to this. FIG. 2 merely shows a configuration showing each of the main functions of the first user terminal 120 and the main functions of the second user terminal 140, and even if it has other functional units. good. Further, the configuration shown in FIG. 2 is not always the essential configuration. The same applies to the block diagrams of other embodiments described herein.

Further, the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 are a terminal used by the first user 110 who is the sender and a terminal used by the second user 130 who is the recipient. It is merely a distinction from the viewpoint, and a certain user A may be the first user 110 or the second user 130. In such a case, the user terminal used by the user A who was functioning as the first user terminal 120 can also function as the second user terminal 140. Therefore, a terminal including the configurations of both the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 may be used. Further, the first transmission unit 122 and the second transmission unit 142 are merely distinguished for convenience so as not to have a common name (in this case, "transmission unit") in each terminal. Therefore, it should be noted that the second user terminal 140 is not intended to employ a plurality of transmitters. Of course, the second user terminal 140 may have one transmitter or may have a plurality of transmitters. The same applies to other than the transmitter, and the same applies to the other embodiments described in the present specification.

Prior to the description of each configuration, the virtual currency network system 250 to which the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 transmit and receive transaction data will be described.

[Cryptocurrency network system]
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the virtual currency network system 250. The virtual currency network system 250 is a decentralized network system composed of a plurality of information processing devices 310a, 310b, 310c, and 310d (hereinafter collectively referred to as information processing devices 310). In the virtual currency network system 250, there is no centralized server device, and each of the information processing devices 310 is connected to each other and manages the same data. In the example of FIG. 3, four information processing devices 310 are shown as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. The larger the number of information processing devices 310, the more robust the system is constructed.

The virtual currency network system 250 of this embodiment is a system using a so-called blockchain system. That is, a block containing a plurality of transaction data of the virtual currency is sequentially connected to a block generated immediately before the block, and each block connected in this way is a block of each of the plurality of information processing devices 310. It is a system managed by.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating blocks used in the virtual currency network system 250. In FIG. 4, the blocks are sequentially connected by a beaded connection (chain connection) in the order of block N-1, block N, and block N + 1. Block N typically shows an example of data contained inside the block N. The block N includes a hash value of the block N-1, which is a block immediately before the block N, transaction information, and data called a nonce. When a predetermined operation is performed using these three data, the hash value of the block N is generated. Then, this hash value is inherited by the block N + 1, which is the block next to the block N. In this way, the blocks are connected in sequence. When the data in the block is tampered with, the hash value changes, and the hash values of the blocks after the tampering are all different values, so that the tampered part can be easily identified. Further, in the virtual currency network system 250, since each of the information processing devices 310 manages the data of such blocks, even if a certain information processing device 310a is tampered with, the remaining information processing devices 310b, 310c, By the determination of the majority decision with 310d, it can be identified that the data of the information processing apparatus 310a is incorrect.

The transaction information of block N includes data of individual transactions. For example, the data of the transaction (transaction) that "Mr. A paid 10 BTC to Mr. B" is included. Here, BTC is a unit of virtual currency. In the virtual currency network system 250, a plurality of such transaction data are collected and managed as one block. In the virtual currency network system 250, a block that collects each transaction data is managed by each information processing device 310. By referring to this transaction data, the balance of the account of the user who uses the virtual currency network system 250 can be specified. For example, there are transaction data indicating that user A1 has paid 5 BTC to user A2 who has not previously made a transaction, and transaction data indicating that user A2 has paid 4 BTC to user A3. Imagine a case. In this case, since the balance of user A2 is (5-4) BTC, it can be specified as 1 BTC.

Returning to FIG. 2, the description of each configuration of the management system 200 will be continued. In the example of FIG. 2, the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 will be described as being external terminals of the virtual currency network system 250, but information processing constituting the virtual currency network system 250 will be described. It may function as a device 310.

The first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 can be portable terminal devices such as tablet terminals, smartphones, and portable game machines. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, it may be a notebook type personal computer.

The first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 include a touch panel display (not shown), which displays various information and accepts various input instructions. Further, the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a flash memory (not shown). Then, the program stored in the flash memory is temporarily read into the RAM, and the CPU executes the program read into the RAM, so that the CPU executes each part of the first user terminal 120 shown in FIG. It can function as each part of the second user terminal 140 (the same applies to other embodiments).

[First user terminal]
The configuration of the first user terminal 120 will be described.
The acquisition unit 121 acquires the account information used in the virtual currency network system 250. For example, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the information of the second account, which is the account of the second user. As an example, the two-dimensional code displayed on the second display unit 141 of the second user terminal 140 is read by using a two-dimensional code reading function (for example, a camera or the like) (not shown) of the first user terminal 120. By doing so, the information of the second account can be obtained.

Further, the acquisition unit 121 may acquire the second account information by referring to the e-mail transmitted by the second transmission unit 142 of the second user terminal 140. For example, the data of the second account (list data of character strings) described in the body of the e-mail may be acquired, or refer to the attached file of the e-mail to which the above-mentioned two-dimensional code is attached. You may get the information of the second account.

An example in which the information of the second account is displayed in the two-dimensional code has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a web page in which the second account is displayed as a two-dimensional code is prepared in advance, and the two-dimensional code indicating the URL of the web page is displayed on the second display unit 141 of the second user terminal 140. May be done. Further, when a two-dimensional code is used, the two-dimensional code does not necessarily have to be displayed on the second display unit 141 of the second user terminal 140. For example, by posting a paper on which the two-dimensional code is printed and reading the two-dimensional code printed on this paper with a two-dimensional code reading function (for example, a camera or the like) (not shown) of the first user terminal 120. , The acquisition unit 121 may acquire the information of the second account. Further, the two-dimensional code may be displayed on an electronic display device such as a display, or a known digital signage may be utilized.

When the first user terminal 120 and the second user terminal 140 have an NFC (Near Field Communication) function, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the information of the second account by the NFC. You may. The acquisition unit 121 may acquire the information of the second account by using other short-range wireless communication standards. Further, when the first user terminal 120 has a wireless communication function and the second user terminal 140 has a beacon transmission function, the first user terminal 120 is the second user terminal 120. When the user terminal 140 approaches a predetermined range, a request for transmitting the information of the second account may be transmitted from the first user terminal 120 to the second user terminal 140. Further, by installing an application having a function of registering a face photo of the first user who uses the first user terminal 120 and a function of performing face authentication in advance on the second user terminal 140, the first user terminal 140 is installed. After face authentication of the first user using the user terminal 120 of the first user, the second user is connected to the terminal 120 of the first user specified by the ID of the first user associated with the face photo data of the first user. The terminal 140 may transmit the information of the second account. Further, based on the location information of the first user terminal 120, the information of the second account may be acquired only when the first user terminal 120 is within the preset range.

The first transmission unit 122 transmits transaction data indicating payment of virtual currency from the account of the user who uses the first user terminal 120 to the accounts of users other than the user to the virtual currency network system. For example, the first transmission unit 122 pays virtual currency from the first account to the second account, which is an account used in the virtual currency network system 250 of the first user 110 who uses the first user terminal 120. The transaction data indicating the above is transmitted to the virtual currency network system 250. Further, the first transmission unit 122 transmits additional data (referred to as "first additional data" in the first embodiment). For example, the first transmission unit 122 transmits the first additional data for the second user corresponding to the second account. The destination of the additional data may be the first user terminal 120, a server device (not shown) that manages data related to the first user 110, or the like.

The first additional data can be, for example, text data of a congratulatory message, a photograph, a moving image, or the like. That is, the attendees can send a congratulatory message or the like together with the payment of the congratulatory gift at the reception of the reception. Since the message or the like transmitted in this way is electronic data, it is easy to process and edit, and it can also be used in the reception hall on the spot. In addition, among the additional data received by the second user terminal 140, the text data, photos, videos, etc. of the congratulatory message are transmitted from the second user terminal 140 to the account for displaying on the digital signage or the like. Alternatively, the data may be transmitted from the first user terminal 120 to an account for displaying on a digital signage or the like.

Further, the first additional data may be user identification information of the social networking service (hereinafter, referred to as SNS) of the attendee (first user). For example, the attendee (first user) may take various photographs and videos at the reception hall and upload the data to his / her SNS. Therefore, after the predetermined period has elapsed, the second user terminal 140 sets the date of the SNS reception of each attendee (first user) based on the user identification information of the SNS sent as the first additional data. You may search the page and perform the process of collecting the text data, images and moving images posted on the page. Regarding the process of displaying additional data such as text data, images, and moving images on the second user terminal 140, the additional data may be displayed in chronological order based on the time when the additional data is received, and the user identification may be performed. Only display additional data transmitted from, for example, the first user terminal 120, which is presumed to be more intimate, based on the relationship between the first user and the second user identified by the information. , It may be possible to set it on the second user terminal 140.

The first display unit 123 displays the first additional data to be transmitted and displays the amount of the virtual currency to be remitted.

The instruction receiving unit 124 receives an operation instruction from the first user 110. For example, it accepts an instruction on the amount of virtual currency to be remitted, or accepts an instruction to select the first additional data to be transmitted.

[Second user terminal]
Next, the second user terminal 140 will be described.
The second display unit 141 displays the information of the second account. For example, a two-dimensional code that encodes a character string indicating a second account is displayed.

The second transmission unit 142 transmits the information of the second account to the first user terminal 120. For example, a character string indicating the second account may be sent by e-mail to the first user terminal 120, or a two-dimensional code in which the character string indicating the second account may be encoded is attached to the first user terminal 120. E-mail to.

The second display unit 141 and the second transmission unit 142 do not have to have both configurations, and may have either configuration.

The receiving unit 143 receives the first additional data transmitted from the first transmitting unit 122. In addition, the receiving unit 143 receives transaction data from the virtual currency network system 250.

The management unit 144 manages various types of information. For example, the management unit 144 stores and manages the first additional data transmitted from the first transmission unit 122 in a storage medium (not shown). This storage medium may be a storage medium included in the second user terminal or a storage medium included in a server (not shown). The management unit 144 manages the payment amount of the virtual currency from the first user 110 to the second user 130 for each first user 110 based on the transaction data received from the virtual currency network system 250. As described above, in the virtual currency network system 250, past transaction data is aggregated as a block, and the chain-connected data is managed by each information processing device 310. Therefore, each transaction can be referred to by referring to the transaction data managed by the virtual currency network system 250. Therefore, for example, the management unit 144 changes from the first account, which is the account of the first user 110 used in the virtual currency network system 250, to the second account, which is the account of the second user 130 used in the virtual currency network system 250. Transaction data in which virtual currency has been paid to the account of the above can be acquired from the virtual currency network system 250 through the receiving unit 143 and managed.

FIG. 5A is a diagram showing an example of a list managed by the management unit 144. The amount paid by "Mr. A", "Mr. B" and "Mr. C" as the first user is managed. In this way, when payment is made in virtual currency, it can be handled as electronic data, so it can be managed more easily than delivery in cash. Although not shown, if the function to convert virtual currency to currency such as US dollars or yen is available on the user terminal, the amount of virtual currency paid will be converted to any currency and displayed in the list. You may do so. The conversion display may be the amount at the time of the transaction (when the virtual money is paid), or may be displayed at the rate converted at the rate at the time arbitrarily specified by the user, and the rate at the time of the transaction may be displayed. It may be possible to display the amount converted in the above and the converted amount at the time arbitrarily specified by the user at the same time. Further, although not shown, the virtual currency managed by the management unit 144 may be managed by the user with an arbitrary tag for each event in which the transaction is performed (for example, a wedding reception), and the relationship with the user may be changed. It may be managed and listed for each specified group type.

In addition, the management unit 144 may perform further processing using the first additional data transmitted from the first user terminal 120. For example, the management unit 144 may edit the message, the photo, and the moving image transmitted as the first additional data to generate the content data. For example, an electronic album for a wedding reception may be generated. Further, the content data may be generated by accessing the page indicated by the user identification information of the SNS of the first user 110 and collecting the contents such as a message, a photograph and a moving image. Further, a process of sending a thank-you message to the attendees to the user who is the source of the first additional data may be performed. In this way, by also managing the first additional data transmitted at the time of payment of the virtual currency, it is possible to easily manage the data of a specific event such as a wedding reception.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5B, the virtual currency paid by each attendee may be displayed on the seat chart of the attendees at the reception. This also allows you to know who paid the congratulations and how much. On the day of the reception, the celebrations for attendees who pay in cash instead of virtual currency can be visually managed without omission by manually inputting them on the screen shown in FIG. 5B. In this management, a flag for identifying whether the celebration is for the groom or the bride may be provided so that the type can be seen on the screen of FIG. 5 (b).

The management unit 144 has described the configuration included in the second user terminal 140 as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may be provided in a management server (not shown) separate from the second user terminal 140.

[flowchart]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the control method of the first user terminal 120 in the present embodiment.

In step S605, the acquisition unit 121 acquires the account information. For example, the information of the second account is acquired from the two-dimensional code displayed on the second display unit 141 of the second user terminal 140.

In step S610, the instruction receiving unit 124 accepts the input of the amount of virtual currency to be paid to the second account specified by the second account information acquired in step S605.

In step S615, the instruction receiving unit 124 receives the designation of the first additional data to be transmitted together with the remittance of the virtual currency.

In step S620, the instruction receiving unit 124 receives the transmission execution instruction.

In step S625, the first transmission unit 122 transmits transaction data indicating payment of virtual currency to an account of a user other than the user from the account of the user who uses the first user terminal 120 to the virtual currency network system 250. .. For example, the first transmission unit 122 transmits transaction data indicating payment of the amount received in step S610 from the first account to the second account to the virtual currency network system 250.

In step S630, the first transmission unit 122 transmits the first additional data designated in step S615 to, for example, a second user terminal 140, an account for displaying on digital digital signage, or the like.

It is not necessary to transmit step S625 and step S630 in this order. The order may be reversed, or they may be transmitted at the same time.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the transaction data indicating the payment of the virtual currency is transmitted, the process of transmitting the first additional data is performed. By such processing, for example, at the time of reception of a wedding reception, it is possible to perform the processing of transmitting the congratulatory data and the processing of the payment of the congratulation at the same time, which improves convenience. For this reason, it is possible to positively shift the scene in which cash is customarily delivered to the scene in which virtual currency is delivered. Then, by delivering in virtual currency, it is easy to confirm the person who received the congratulation and the amount of money by referring to the transaction data managed by each information processing device 310 of the virtual currency network system. It becomes possible to do.

In the present embodiment, the scene of the reception of the reception has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. It can be applied in various situations.

Further, in the present embodiment, the virtual currency is transferred from the first user terminal 120 to the second user terminal 140, but the user of the first user terminal 120 is a third party such as a friend. It may be configured to transfer virtual currency to a second user terminal instead of the user. In this case, information for indicating that the remittance is from a third-party user may be included in the transaction data or additional data of the virtual currency, or the information may be separately transmitted. ..

Further, the transmission timing of the additional data may be the same as the transmission timing of the transaction data of the virtual currency, or may be a different transmission timing. For example, if the configuration is such that additional data can be transmitted at a timing different from that of the remittance process, it is possible to transmit photos and videos taken by a friend at the reception as additional data after the reception is over.

[Second Embodiment]
[Overview]
In the first embodiment, a mode in which the first user terminal transmits additional data (first additional data) has been described. In the second embodiment, a mode in which the second user terminal transmits additional data (second additional data) when payment is made to the second user who is the recipient of the virtual currency will be described. do. The configuration and the like not particularly described below can be the same as the configuration and the like described in the first embodiment (for example, information on the virtual currency network system and the second account, etc.).

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an overall configuration including the management system 800 according to the present embodiment. The management system 800 includes a first user terminal 720 and a second user terminal 740. The management system 800 cooperates with the virtual currency network system 250. The first user terminal 720 has an acquisition unit 721, a determination unit 722, an instruction reception unit 723, a first transmission unit 724, and a display unit 725. The second user terminal 740 has an output unit 741, a receiving unit 742, and a second transmitting unit 743.

[Second user terminal]
First, the configuration of the second user terminal 740 will be described.
The output unit 741 outputs the information of the second account used in the virtual currency network system 250. For example, an instruction to output a two-dimensional code in which the character string of the second account is encoded may be transmitted to a printing device (not shown), or a display device (not shown) (display device of the second user terminal) may be used. However, an instruction to display the two-dimensional code on the display device of another device may be output.

The receiving unit 742 receives transaction data indicating payment of virtual currency from the first account to the second account, which is an account used in the virtual currency network system 250 of the first user 710 using the first user terminal 720. Received from the virtual currency network system 250. For example, it receives transaction data indicating remittance from a first user who has read the two-dimensional code of the donation box 750.

The second transmitting unit 743 corresponds to the first account when the transaction data received by the receiving unit 742 includes transaction data indicating payment of virtual currency from the first account to the second account. Send a second additional data to the user. For example, when the e-mail address of the first user, the account of the SNS, etc. are transmitted from the first user terminal in association with the first account, the second user terminal 740 makes the payment. One user's e-mail address, SNS account, etc. can be specified. The second transmission unit 743 transmits the second additional data to the first user thus identified.

The second additional data can be arbitrary data. In the present embodiment, the payment of the virtual currency is the payment of the donation, and the second additional data is the proof of the implementation of the donation. For example, the image of the blade may be used as the second additional data. The image of the blade may be displayed on the top page of the SNS user for a limited time. For example, when the second additional data is sent to the account of the first user in the SNS (called an SNS account), for example, an image of a red feather is displayed on the top page of the SNS account for a limited time. You may. More specifically, the second transmission unit 743 notifies the SNS management server (not shown) that manages the SNS of the SNS account of the SNS account that displays the image of the red feather for a limited time, and receives this notification. The SNS management server may perform a process of displaying the image of the red feather on the corresponding SNS account for a limited time.

According to such a form, since the second additional data is transmitted in exchange for payment, it can be expected to promote delivery in virtual currency. In addition, it is possible to solve the problem of cash delivery, such as the work of collecting cash donations on the street.

[First user terminal]
Next, the configuration of the first user terminal 720 will be described.
The acquisition unit 721 acquires the information of the second account. As described above, the acquisition unit 721 may acquire the information of the second account based on the two-dimensional code affixed to the surface of the donation box 750 held by the second user 730. The acquisition unit 721 can acquire the information of the second account in any form such as an e-mail, a web page, and NFC, in addition to the donation box 750.

The determination unit 722 is based on at least the information of the third account, which is the payee account of the second account, obtained by referring to the transaction data managed by the virtual currency network system 250. Determine if the account will send transaction data indicating payment of virtual currency to the second account. To explain with the example of fundraising, the purpose of use may be different from the original purpose of the fundraising. The determination unit 722 performs a process of determining whether or not the second account is a trusted account (whether it is a credible account). This will be described below.

By referring to the past transaction data managed by the virtual currency network system, it is possible to identify the payee account (third account) of the second account. For example, if it is possible to identify that the information of the account of the support destination (third account) is posted on the web page of the support destination, or refer to the web page that aggregates the information of various support destinations. If it can be identified that the third account is posted, the determination unit 722 can determine that the second account is a reliable account. Further, the determination unit 722 may perform the determination process based on the instruction from the first user. For example, the information of the third account of the payment destination from the second account is displayed on the display unit 725 of the first user terminal so that the first user can confirm it. After that, when the determination unit 722 receives the input of the instruction that the third account is a reliable account from the first user 710, the determination unit 722 may determine that the third account is a reliable account. good.

The instruction receiving unit 723 accepts input of various instructions. For example, it accepts the input of the amount of virtual currency to be paid (donated).

When the determination unit 722 determines that the first transmission unit 724 transmits transaction data, that is, when the second account is determined to be a trusted account, the first transmission unit 724 transfers the transaction data from the first account to the second account. Transaction data indicating payment of virtual currency is transmitted to the virtual currency network system 250. Further, the first transmission unit 724 may transmit the e-mail address or SNS account of the first user 710 to the second user terminal 740 along with the transmission of the transaction data.

The display unit 725 displays the second additional data transmitted from the second user terminal 740. For example, when the second additional data is directly transmitted from the second user terminal 740 by e-mail, NFC, or the like, the transmitted data may be displayed. When the second additional data is transmitted from the second user terminal 740 to the SNS account of the first user, the display unit 725 displays the second SNS page. Additional data can be displayed.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of a control method of the first user terminal 720 and the second user terminal 740 in the present embodiment.

In step S902, the output unit 741 of the second user terminal 740 outputs the second account information.

In step S952, the acquisition unit of the first user terminal 720 acquires the second account information output in step S902.

In step S954, the determination unit 722 of the first user terminal 720 determines whether the second account is a trusted account. That is, it is determined whether or not to transfer money to the second account. When remittance is performed, the process proceeds to step S956, and if not, the process ends.

In step S956, the instruction receiving unit 723 of the first user terminal 720 accepts the input of the amount of virtual currency to be paid to the second account specified by the second account information acquired in step S952.

In step S958, the first transmission unit 724 transmits the transaction data indicating the payment of the amount received in step S956 from the first account to the second account to the virtual currency network system 250. The first transmission unit 724 may transmit the e-mail address, SNS account, etc. of the first user to the second user terminal 740, if necessary.

In step S904, the receiving unit 742 of the second user terminal 740 receives the transaction data from the virtual currency network system 250.

In step S906, the second user terminal 740 proceeds to step S908 when the transaction data received in step S904 includes payment data from the first account to the second account. If not, the process ends.

In step S908, the second transmission unit 743 transmits the second additional data to the first user terminal 720 when the payment data is included in step S906. As described above, the destination of the second additional data may be, for example, an SNS server or the like.

[First modification]
In the above-mentioned example of the unmanned shop, the form of reading the two-dimensional code including the identification information of the usage item (product) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a general commercial product already has a barcode that identifies the product. By using this barcode information as the identification information of the usage items managed by the management server 1150, the same processing can be performed without newly creating a two-dimensional code.

[Second modification]
In the first modification described above, while there is an advantage that the existing barcode can be used, the price of the usage item (commodity) is fixed. In this modification, a transmission device for transmitting predetermined beacon information is provided on a shelf for accommodating products. The first user terminal 1020 has a receiving device (not shown) for receiving the beacon information, and the acquisition unit 1021 is configured to be able to acquire the received beacon information. The management server 1150 manages the name of the usage item, the payment amount, the second account, and the like by using the identification information and the beacon information of the usage item as keys. In such a configuration, when the first user terminal 1020 reads the barcode using a camera (not shown) or the like, the acquisition unit 1021 accesses the management server 1150 and the data managed by the management server 1150. Is searched using the identification information and beacon information of the usage item included in the barcode as a key. The display unit 1022 displays the usage name and payment amount of the usage item obtained as a result of the search. In this way, the name of the usage item and the payment amount are specified by using the identification information of the usage item and the beacon information as keys. Therefore, according to this modification, by changing the information managed by the management server 1150, even if the same product is accommodated in different shelves, the payment amount will be different. It is also possible to set the payment amount of. It is also possible to set the second account of the payee to be a different account depending on the shelves in which the payment is made.

[Third modification example]
In the second modification described above, an example in which a transmission device for transmitting predetermined beacon information is provided on a shelf for accommodating products has been described. In this modification, a bar code that identifies the shelf is attached to the shelf that houses the product. Further, the management server 1150 manages the name of the usage item, the payment amount, the second account, and the like based on the identification information of the shelf instead of the beacon information. In such a configuration, when the first user terminal 1020 sequentially reads the bar code of the shelf and the bar code of the product by using a two-dimensional code reading function (for example, a camera or the like) (not shown), the acquisition unit 1021 receives. The management server 1150 is accessed, and the data managed by the management server 1150 is searched by using the shelf identification information and the product identification information as keys. The display unit 1022 displays the usage name and payment amount of the usage item obtained as a result of the search. In this modified example as well, as in the second modified example, by changing the information managed by the management server 1150, even if the same product is stored, if the stored shelves are different, the payment amount will be different. It is also possible to set the payment amount of the usage item. Although the bar code attached to the shelf has been described here as the identification information of the shelf, it may be the identification information for identifying the installation position where the shelf is installed.
