{GENDER SUPPORTING A MAGNETIC SECURE TRANSMISSION FOR SUPPORTING MAGNETIC SECURITY TRANSMISSION}

The present disclosure relates to a gender that connects an electronic device and an earphone to support mobile payment based on magnetic secure transmission (MST) technology.

Most commercial transactions, which are usually part of economic activities, involve settlement. For example, a consumer can pay a predetermined amount of money by using cash or a card for reasons such as purchasing goods or using restaurants. Payment using the card (hereinafter referred to as " card payment ") may be performed through the payment terminal. The payment terminal may be installed at an affiliate shop. The payment terminal can support payment of a card by various kinds of cards such as a credit card and a cash card.

In commerce, consumption patterns are changing in various forms. For example, the activation of electronic commerce using a computer, a smart phone, or the like may correspond to a change in a typical consumption pattern. This change in consumption patterns has become a starting point for changing existing payment methods. For example, a mobile payment method using smart payment means in an electronic device such as a smart phone may be an example of a typical change.

The mobile payment method is based on a method based on recent MST technology (hereinafter referred to as " MST mobile payment method ") in a method based on near field communication (NFC) ').

The NFC technology supports wireless communication of a very short distance (within about 10 cm) using a frequency of 13.56 MHz band. In order to use it as a mobile payment method, a payment terminal must support NFC communication. However, since existing payment terminals do not support NFC communication, payment terminal replacement should be preceded in order to activate NFC mobile payment method.

The MST mobile payment method is a technique of transmitting credit card information by bringing an electronic device having a loop antenna close to a payment terminal. That is, the same magnetic field as the magnetic field generated when the magnetic credit card is connected to the payment terminal is generated using a loop antenna built in the electronic device, thereby transmitting the credit card information to the payment terminal. Therefore, the MST mobile payment method can conveniently use the mobile payment without having to replace the payment terminal. In order to support the MST mobile payment method, a loop antenna capable of generating an electromagnetic signal as a magnetic field signal corresponding to credit card information should be provided.

As described above, the existing payment method focuses on developing a payment means capable of providing services while minimizing the change of the payment terminal. As a result, it was unsuitable for use in a portable payment terminal utilizing an electronic device such as a smart phone.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus and method for processing card settlement based on an MST mobile payment method in a portable payment terminal utilizing an electronic device can be provided.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a mobile payment terminal converts a magnetic field signal generated by an MST mobile payment means into an electric signal so as to process a card settlement based on an MST mobile payment method, and transmits the electric signal to the portable payment terminal Can be provided.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to provide an earphone for converting an electrical signal generated for payment in an electronic device having smart payment means into a magnetic field signal.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an electronic device that processes a mobile payment service based on an electrical signal transmitted from an earphone, converts credit card information for card settlement into an electrical signal, and transmits the electronic signal to the earphone, Can be provided.

A gender according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes at least one first audio terminal, a first microphone terminal, and a first ground terminal, wherein a jack provided in the electronic device, the at least one first audio terminal, A plug coupled through the first microphone terminal and the first ground terminal, at least one second audio terminal, a second microphone terminal, and a second ground terminal, wherein the plug and the at least one second audio An electrical signal induced by a magnetic field generated from the outside through the earphone through one of a jack coupled through the second microphone terminal and the second ground terminal and one of at least one second audio terminal included in the jack, And a switch module for transmitting the received electrical signal to a first microphone terminal included in the plug.
