Description

The present invention relates to a payment system for a laundry store that can make various payments in which at least electronic money and a two-dimensional code payment system can be used to pay the fee for the laundry equipment in the laundry store.
Specifically, the present invention uses at least electronic money and a mobile information device owned by an individual or the like as a terminal for payment of a laundry device, and payment is made using a QR code (registered trademark). It is related to the payment system for laundry stores that can make various payments installed in the store.
In addition, in this specification, the following terms are used and interpreted by the following definitions. A two-dimensional code is a code that has information in two directions, vertical and horizontal, and QR codes are widespread, but not limited to this.
Terms such as "first" and "second" are used solely to distinguish between devices and do not affect the interpretation of the scope of rights.
Security information refers to information that has a function of protecting information from eavesdropping and falsification, and passwords, URLs that can be connected only once (Uniform Resource Locator), and the like are known.
One-time security information refers to information that is valid only once or security information that is valid only for a predetermined time.

As the first conventional technique, the provider of the product or service displays the transaction information such as the payment amount and the payment account by using a two-dimensional code or the like, and the customer uses the camera (imaging) function of the user terminal. An electronic money system that acquires a two-dimensional code and makes a payment is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
As a second conventional technique, in a coin laundry, a QR code is read using a camera of a mobile phone, and an e-mail with the information of the QR code attached is sent to a management server, so that various benefits can be obtained without using a point card. Is known to be granted (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
As a third prior art, in the application of the present applicant, an IC card issuing charging machine is arranged in a coin laundry store, and as a means of paying a fee, a coin sorting device and an IC card processing device are individually provided for a washing machine and a dryer. It is known to utilize laundry equipment by arranging and using coins and IC cards (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

In the first prior art, transaction information such as payment amount, product or service provider's payment account is displayed on a printed two-dimensional code, and the user takes a picture using the camera function of the mobile information device. It is a highly convenient system because payment is completed by sending it as payment request information together with its own payment source information. However, if this system is applied to laundry equipment, there is a risk that the payee information in the printed two-dimensional code will be rewritten to different payee information in an unmanned laundry where the manager is absent. Is difficult to adopt.
In the second conventional technique, in a coin laundry, a QR code representing an access destination address is acquired and used by using a camera of a mobile phone, and is not used for payment of a laundry device. If this system is used for payment, information security is vulnerable, and there are concerns about transaction security.
In the third conventional technique, electronic money and coins can be used, but other payment methods, for example, payment using a two-dimensional code cannot be used, so that a payment system capable of more diverse payments can be used. It is requested.

Next, the operation on the store server 108 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. It is assumed that the standby information WTI is output from the laundry device 102 as the operation availability information AVI.

In step SS1, it is determined whether or not the laundry use button 220 has been tapped, and if it is detected that the button has been tapped, the process proceeds to step SS2.

Next, in step SS2, it is confirmed whether each laundry device control device 128 outputs the standby information WTS, and if the standby information WTS is output, in other words, it is determined whether the laundry device 102 is in an operable state. , Proceed to step SS3.

In step SS3, after switching to the usage laundry equipment selection screen ULS (Fig. 8 (B)), the process proceeds to step SS4.

In step SS4, each laundry device 102 is displayed on the used laundry device selection screen ULS based on the movable state or the inoperable state grasped in step SS2, and then the process proceeds to step SS5. As described above, for example, the movable laundry device 102 (washing machine 106, dryer 107) is displayed in green, and the inoperable laundry device 102 is displayed in red. In addition to color coding, the indication of whether or not the operation is possible can be appropriately set, such as displaying the operable laundry equipment 102 visually and displaying the inoperable laundry equipment 102 which is difficult to visually recognize. Inoperable means a device that is out of order, a device that is in operation, a device that is not turned on, and the like.

Next, in step SS5, it is determined whether or not the laundry equipment 102 to be used is selected, and if it is selected, the process proceeds to step SS6, and if it is not selected, step SS5 is looped to enter the selection standby state. In other words, if it is detected that either the washing machine selection button 106B (1061 to 1066) or the dryer selection button 107B (1071 to 1072) displayed on the laundry equipment selection screen ULS is tapped, the step Proceed to SS6.

The store server identification information MID is information that can identify the store server 108 on the network, and is, for example, a URL.

When the 2D code payment server 118 determines that the 2D code payment transaction permission request TCR is a request based on legitimate authority, the transaction permission information TAI in which the one-pass code OPC is associated with the transaction specific information TNO is transmitted. The one-pass code OPC is, for example, a payment URL of the two-dimensional code payment server 118 that is valid only once.

If the transaction permission information TAI is determined in step SS13, the process proceeds to step SS14, and if not determined, the transaction permission information TAI is looped and the transaction permission information standby state is set. The two-dimensional code settlement transaction permission request TCR in step SS12 is not essential.

In step SS14, at least the laundry equipment charge information LFI is converted into the two-dimensional code TDC by the two-dimensional code conversion device 242 based on the system of the payment system 104 for the selected laundry store, and then the process proceeds to step SS15. In the first embodiment, the transaction specific information TNO and the one-pass code OPC transmitted from the two-dimensional code payment server 118 are also added and converted into the QR code QRC which is the two-dimensional code TDC.

In step SS15, it is determined whether the transaction permission information TAI this time is due to the processing of the store server 108 or the laundry equipment two-dimensional code processing device 126, and if it is based on the processing of the store server 108, the process proceeds to step SS16 and the laundry equipment. When based on the processing of the two-dimensional code processing device 126 Transmission to the laundry equipment two-dimensional code processing device 126. Whether it is processed by the store server 108 or by the laundry equipment 2D code processing device 126, the identification information transmitted in an integrated manner is the store server identification information NID or the laundry equipment 2D code processing device identification information DID. It can be discriminated by discriminating.

In step SS16, the two-dimensional code display screen TDS (FIG. 10 (E)) is switched to, and the process proceeds to step SS17.

In step SS176, after the two-dimensional code TDC is displayed on the two-dimensional code display screen TDS, the process proceeds to step SS18.

In step SS18, after the store timer device 244 starts timing the allowable time ALT, the process proceeds to step SS19. The timekeeping of the permissible time ALT may be immediately after receiving the transaction permission information TAI, or may be started after step SS11 when the two-dimensional code settlement transaction permission request TCR is not performed.

In step SS19, the processing screen IPS (Fig. 10 (F)) is displayed, and then the process proceeds to step SS20.

If the payment result information SEI from the two-dimensional code payment server 118 is determined in step SS20, the process proceeds to step SS21.

In step SS21, after recording the settlement result information SEI in the store table SST, the process proceeds to step SS22.

In step SS22, it is determined whether or not it is within the allowable time ALT, and if it is within the allowable time ALT, the process proceeds to step SS23, and if the allowable time ALT is exceeded, the process proceeds to step SS26.

In step SS23, a pseudo billing signal FCS is output to the laundry equipment control device 128, and the process proceeds to step SS24.

If the operating signal RNS output from the laundry equipment control unit 128 is determined in step SS24, the process proceeds to step SS25. If not, step SS24 is looped and the system enters the start standby state.

In step SS25, after recording the operating signal RNS, the process ends.

If the permissible time ALT is exceeded in step SS22, the process proceeds to step SS27 after recording the fact in the store table SST in step SS26.

In step SS27, the process associated with the same transaction specific information TNO is invalidated and the process is terminated.

In step TS1, from the 2D code payment server 118, the 2D code payment transaction permission request TCR (at least, the transaction specific information TNO can be included, the laundry equipment charge information LFI, the store server identification information MID, etc. can be included). If it is received, it proceeds to step TS2, and if it is not determined, it loops step TS1 and enters the two-dimensional code settlement transaction permission request waiting state. Instead of the store server identification information MID, the store identification information given to each store can also be used as the payee identification information PSI.

In step TS2, the security information generator 286 generates the one-pass code OPC which is the security information SCI, and then proceeds to step TS3.

In step TS3, the one-pass code OPC is transmitted to the store server 108 specified by the store server identification information MID (store server identification information MID) included in the two-dimensional code payment transaction permission request TCR, and then the process proceeds to step TS4. If the store server 108 that has received the two-dimensional code settlement transaction permission request TCR can be identified by information other than the store server identification information MID (store server identification information MID), the store server 108 can be specified by that information. For example, if the transaction identification information TNO contains information that can identify the store, the security information SCI can be transmitted to the corresponding store server identification information MID (store server identification information MID) using the transaction identification information TNO. ..

In step TS4, it is determined whether or not the two-dimensional code payment request TSR has been received from the user terminal 124, and if it is received, the process proceeds to step TS5, and if not received, step TS4 is looped and the two-dimensional code payment request standby state is set. ..
Therefore, between steps TS3 and TS4, the store server 108 and the user terminal 124 perform a predetermined process based on the two-dimensional code TDC.
