The present invention relates to a system for transmitting various types of information using a terminal for paying a traffic fare, and a method thereof, and more particularly, to a system in which a user has a traffic card function built into a fare payment terminal installed in a subway, a bus, a highway toll gate, or the like. When you want to pay using a mobile phone or PDA (Personal Digital Assistants) Advertisement, living information, traffic information, etc. stored in the payment terminal in advance, along with payment, text messages (SMS), photos, videos or a combination thereof The present invention relates to an information delivery system and a method using a payment terminal, which is transmitted to a mobile phone or a PDA through wireless communication.

Recently, a traffic card is widely used as a means of paying a traffic fare, and a traffic fare payment terminal for paying a traffic fare using the traffic card is installed in various forms in a subway, a bus, a highway toll gate, and the like. Such a transportation card pays a fee by extracting the amount information and the unique number of the card from the built-in IC chip or deducting a predetermined amount or processing a post-payment, and embeds the IC chip in a mobile phone, PDA, etc. Applied in a way that charges. As described above, as the functions of wireless terminals such as mobile phones and PDAs are expanded and become more popular, information transmission or advertisements using the wireless terminals have been activated.

However, since the information transmission or advertisement method using a wireless terminal conventionally has a one-way information transmission form irrespective of the user's intention, it causes a social problem of leakage of personal information and at the same time delivers accurate information that matches the user's taste. There is a problem that is not made.

In addition, the existing information delivery or advertising method is an additional cost because the information is transmitted to the user through the mobile carrier server, the information provider has to pay a separate communication fee to the mobile carrier, wastes the cost have.

Republic of Korea Patent Application No. 10-2003-0007448 relates to a conventional system and method for performing a target advertisement using a traffic card. However, the conventional system outputs various advertisements according to the type of the user, but since the advertisement output means is a payment terminal (traffic card reader), it is necessary to rely on a separate memo means or the memory of the user in order to lead to the actual advertisement effect. Since there is a problem that the advertising efficiency is significantly lowered.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose of preventing leakage of personal information and transmitting only accurate information suitable for a user's preference by providing user information held by a mobile communication company to a service provider with the user's consent.
