The touch sensor may be configured to convert a pressure applied to a specific portion of the display portion 151 or a change in capacitance generated at a specific portion of the display portion 151 into an electrical input signal. The touch sensor can be configured to detect not only the position and area to be touched but also the touch pressure.

When the touch sensor and the display unit 151 have a mutual layer structure, the display unit 151 can be used as an input device in addition to the output device. The display unit 151 may be referred to as a 'touch screen'.

If there is a touch input via the touch screen, corresponding signals are sent to a touch controller (not shown). The touch controller processes the signals transmitted from the touch sensor, and then transmits data corresponding to the processed signals to the controller 180. Thus, the control unit 180 can know which area of the display unit 151 is touched.

In the case where the touch screen is electrostatic, it can be configured to detect the proximity of the sensing object by a change of the electric field along the proximity of the sensing target. Such a touch screen may be classified as proximity sensor 141. [

The proximity sensor 141 refers to a sensor that detects the presence or absence of an object to be sensed without mechanical contact using an electromagnetic force or infrared rays. The proximity sensor 141 has a longer life than the contact type sensor and its utilization is also high. Examples of the proximity sensor 141 include a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a direct reflection type photoelectric sensor, a mirror reflection type photoelectric sensor, a high frequency oscillation type proximity sensor, a capacitive proximity sensor, a magnetic proximity sensor, and an infrared proximity sensor.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, a proximity action is referred to as " proximity touch " while an object to be sensed does not touch the touch screen, and an action of touching the sensing object on the touch screen is called & touch ".

The proximity sensor 141 detects the presence or absence of a proximity touch and a proximity touch pattern (for example, a proximity touch distance, a proximity touch direction, a proximity touch speed, a proximity touch time, a proximity touch position, The information corresponding to the presence / absence of proximity touch and the proximity touch pattern can be output to the touch screen.

Taging may be an operation that causes a communication link via NFC (Near Field Communication) to be established. For example, proximity of the first mobile terminal 100 to the second mobile terminal 400 within a certain distance may be tagging. Once the tagging is done, a communication link can be established between the first and second mobile terminals. Once the communication link is established, the exchange of data can be made over the communication link.

The mobile terminals 100 and 400 form a communication link through tagging, and can transmit and receive electronic money. For example, by tagging the first mobile terminal 100 with the second mobile terminal 400, the one-million won electronic money stored in the first mobile terminal 100 disappears and the second mobile terminal 400 Ten thousand euros can be saved.

The mobile terminals 100 and 400 form a communication link with the payment terminal 500 through tagging, and can perform settlement using electronic money. For example, if payment information of 10,000 won is generated in the payment terminal 500 and payment is required, the second mobile terminal 400 may tag the payment terminal 500 to the second mobile terminal 400 You can use the saved electronic money of ten thousand won and settle the settlement.

5 is a block diagram illustrating a wireless communication system in communication with a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

5, a CDMA wireless communication system includes a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of base stations 270, base station controllers (BSCs) 275, and a mobile switching center ; MSCs, 280). The mobile switching center 280 is configured to be connected to a public switch telephone network (PSTN) 290. The mobile switching center 280 is also configured to be coupled to the base station controllers 275. The base station controllers 275 are connected to the base stations 270 via backhaul lines. The backhaul lines may be configured according to E1 / T1, ATM, IP, PPP, Frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL known to those skilled in the art. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the system may include more than one base station controller 275.

Each of the base stations 270 may include one or more sectors and each sector may include an omnidirectional antenna or a specific radially tuned antenna from the base station 270 . Alternatively, each sector may include two antennas for diversity reception. Each base station 270 is configured to accommodate a plurality of frequency assignments, and the frequency assignments may have a specific spectrum (e.g., 1.25 MHz, 5 MHz).

The intersection of sector and frequency assignment may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The base stations 27 may also be referred to as base station transceiver subsystems (BTSs). In some instances, the term "base station" may be used to refer collectively to a base station controller 275 and one or more base stations 270. The base stations may also be denoted "cell sites ". Alternatively, individual sectors of a given base station 270 may be referred to as cell sites.

The terrestrial DMB transmitter 295 can broadcast to the mobile terminals 100 operating in the system. The broadcast receiving module 111 of the mobile terminal 100 is generally configured to receive broadcast signals transmitted by the DMB transmitter 295. This may be similarly applied to other types of broadcast and multicast signaling as described above.

FIG. 5 illustrates various GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites 300. These satellites 300 may track the location of some or all of the mobile terminals 100. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that although two satellites are shown, location information can be obtained from more or fewer satellites.

Similarly, the public switched telephone network 290 interfaces with the mobile switching center 280 and the mobile switching center can interface with the base station controllers 275. The base station controllers 275 may sequentially transmit the forward link signals to the mobile terminals 100 by controlling the base stations 270.

6 and 7 are flowcharts for explaining a control method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, a method for controlling a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes setting an electronic money amount (S110). Since electronic money does not generate money from nothing, the amount of electronic money to be converted should be set. For example, a user can convert one thousand won of money (or currency, currency) into one million won of electronic money using a bank transfer or a bank transfer to a financial institution. At this time, if one thousand won of money is converted into electronic money, it can be said that electronic money of ten thousand won is generated.

Although the step of setting the amount of electronic money (S110) is first described, the steps (S110-S170) in the control method of the mobile terminal according to the present invention may be executed in a reversed order.

Next, a step of outputting a plurality of types of business information (S130) may proceed. The control unit 180 may output a plurality of pieces of business information stored in the memory 160 or received from the external server to the display unit 151 using the wireless communication unit 110. [

Industry information can mean the type of job or business. This type of business information may be, for example, a type of business described in a business registration certificate, a concept including at least one of a business type and an item. For another example, it may refer to the industry information described in the Korean Standard Industrial Classification Standards prepared by the National Statistical Office.

At this time, the business type information may be stored in the memory 160 from the stage in which the mobile terminal 100 is released from the factory. Industry information is related to settlement of electronic money, so it needs to be consistent. As another example, the business type information may be stored in an external server that manages business type information. At this time, the control unit 180 of the mobile terminal 100 can receive a plurality of types of business information from the external server using the wireless communication unit 110, and output the received plurality of types of business information to the display unit 151 . As another example, the business type information may be information generated by a user and stored in the memory 160.

Next, at least one of the plurality of types of business information can be selected (S150). The user can select at least one of a plurality of types of business information output to the display unit 151. [ Accordingly, the control unit 180 can select at least one of the plurality of types of business information to be output based on the touch input sensed by the user input unit 130. [ At least one type of industry information selected may be referred to as "available industry ". Available industry refers to the industry in which electronic money can be used, and may correspond to the use conditions for electronic money.

Next, a step (S170) of generating electronic money usable in the business type included in at least one selected from a plurality of types of business information can be performed. At this time, the electronic money generating unit 182 can generate the electronic money corresponding to the set amount by using the available industry as the use condition. The generated electronic money can be used only in an industry corresponding to a usable industry, and can not be used in other industries. For example, if an electronic money with a "bookstore" set as an industry that can be used for an amount of one thousand won is generated, the electronic money can not be used in industries other than "bookstore".

Referring to FIG. 7, a method of controlling a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes outputting a plurality of types of business information (S210). Next, at step S220, at least one type of business type information is set as a usable business type. Next, a step S230 of generating electronic money that can be used for a usable business type can be performed. The generated electronic money can be stored in the memory 160. Information stored in the memory 160 may be transmitted to an external server for security of electronic money and safety of financial transactions. The transmitted information may be stored in an external server.

Next, a step of searching for an external terminal to which the electronic money is to be transmitted (S240) may be performed. The short-range communication unit 114 can be located within a short-distance communication range and can search for an external terminal that can perform communication using the short-range communication unit 114.

Next, a step S250 of establishing a communication link with an external terminal located within a predetermined distance may be performed. Next, the process of transmitting the electronic money to the external terminal using the communication link (S260) may be performed.

Although it is described that the step of establishing a communication link (S250) and the step of transmitting electronic money (S260) are distinguished, two steps may occur at the same time. For example, the electronic money generating unit 182 can generate one million won of electronic money that can be used in a "bookstore ". At this time, the electronic money transfer mode is activated by the user, and the mobile terminal 100 can be tagged with the external terminal. At the same time as the tagging, one million won of electronic money that can be used in the "bookstore" can be transmitted to the external terminal.

According to the present invention, it is possible to generate an electronic money in which the usable business type is set as the use condition, and to transfer the electronic money to the external terminal by using the short-range communication unit. Therefore, the money transaction can be accomplished by a simple method of tagging using the mobile terminal. Further, according to the present invention, since the business type in which the electronic money can be used can be selected, the transfer person of the electronic money can restrict the use of the electronic money of the transferee. Thus, it is possible to provide the convenience of the monetary transaction to the transferee who created the electronic money using the mobile terminal.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a mobile terminal for generating an electronic money in which usage conditions are set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

8A and 8B, a mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a display unit 151 for outputting a window 602 for receiving an electronic money amount, . The electronic money generating unit 182 may set the amount of the electronic money to be generated based on the touch input of the user input unit 130. [ For example, the control unit 180 outputs the virtual keypad to the display unit 180, and the electronic money generating unit 182 can set the amount of the electronic money based on at least one touch input to the virtual keypad.

Referring to FIGS. 8B and 8C, when the electronic money generating unit 182 sets the electronic money amount, a plurality of pieces of business information can be output to the display unit 151. FIG. Alternatively, a window 602 for setting an electronic money amount may be output to the display unit 151 after at least one business category among a plurality of business category information is selected as an available business category.

8 (c) and 8 (d), the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention may include a display unit 151 for outputting a plurality of types of business information. For example, the business type information may be information stored in the memory 160. At this time, the control unit 180 can output the business type information corresponding to at least a part of all the business type information stored in the memory 160 to the display unit 151. [

The electronic money generating unit 182 can select at least one of the plurality of types of business information output based on the touch input of the user input unit 130. [ In addition, the control unit 180 can distinguish the selected type of business from the selected non-selected type of business. For example, referring to (c) of FIG. 8, the "pharmacy" corresponds to the selected business type, and the remaining business types may not be selected. Further, when a touch input to the "hospital" is sensed, the electronic money generating section 182 can select "pharmacy" and "hospital".

Although not shown in the drawing, when the selection of at least one of the plurality of types of business information as the available business type is completed, the electronic money generating unit 182 can generate electronic money that can be used in the available business type. For example, referring to FIG. 8, the electronic money generating unit 182 can generate "50,000 won" electronic money that can be used in a business corresponding to at least one of "pharmacy"

In addition, menus 604 to 608 related to a plurality of types of business information can be output to the display unit. The functions associated with the menus 604-608 will be described below with reference to Figures 9-13.

Referring to FIG. 9, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can edit the business type information output to the display unit 151. FIG. For example, referring to FIG. 9A, when the touch input regarding the item edition 608 is detected, the control unit 180 can execute an editing mode for a plurality of types of business information.

Referring to FIG. 9B, the control unit 180 can sequentially output a plurality of pieces of business type information 612-618 based on an output order output to the display unit 151. FIG. The output order can be stored in the memory 160 together with each type of industry information. At this time, the control unit 180 can output at least one of the delete and edit menu for each type of business information together with the business type information.

The control unit 180 may change the output order of a plurality of types of business information 612-618 output to the display unit 151 based on the touch input sensed by the user input unit 130. [ For example, referring to FIGS. 9B and 9C, when a touch input for selecting "pharmacy" 618 and dragging it to the position of " (180) can change the output order of a plurality of types of business information (612-618).

9 (c) and 9 (d), the control unit 180 can delete at least one of the plurality of pieces of business information 612-618 output to the display unit 151. [ For example, if the "hospital" 616 is deleted, "stationery" 620 may be output as a different industry type instead of "hospital" at that location.

Although not shown in the drawing, the control unit 180 can edit each type of industry information based on the touch input. For example, the name of the category information can be edited. In addition, the "hospital" and the "pharmacy" can be merged into the "medical business" and the "lodging business" can be separated into "hotel", "condo", "inn" and "pension".

FIG. 10 is a view for explaining a mobile terminal adding industry information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 10, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may add industry information to be output to the display unit 151. For example, referring to FIG. 10A, the controller 180 may execute a business type addition mode in which business type information is added when a touch input relating to the item addition 606 is sensed.

When the business mode addition mode is executed, the business type information can be added in at least two ways. For example, business category information may be added by a method of "category search" 622 and "specific business search" 624.

The "category search" 622 may include inputting a search word using the user input unit 130, for example. Next, at least one of the memory 160 and the external server may be searched for the business type related to the inputted search word, and the at least one business type searched may be output to the display unit 151. [ Next, at least one of the at least one business type that is searched and output to the display unit 151 may be selected based on the touch input, and the selected business type may be added to the business type information. The content of the "category search" 622 will be described below with reference to FIG.

The "specific business search" 624 may include receiving a search word using the user input unit 130, for example. Next, the inputted search word can be transmitted to the external server, and the business information related to the search word can be received from the external server. Next, it is possible to output at least one received business information to the display unit 151. [ At this time, the control unit 180 can add the business type information using the business information. The contents of the "search for a specific business" 624 will be described later with reference to FIG.

11 is a view for explaining a mobile terminal that adds a business category using category search according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 11A, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 151 for outputting a window 632 formed to input a search word. The control unit 180 may receive a search term based on the touch input of the user input unit 130. [ For example, a search term "cafe" may be input.

Referring to FIG. 11 (b), when a search command for a search term is detected, the controller 180 can search for the business type information to be added using the search term. At this time, the database of the business type information related to the search may be stored in the memory 160 or stored in an external server. For example, when a database is formed in the external server, the control unit 180 transmits the search word to the external server using the wireless communication unit 110 and receives information retrieved by the external server using the search word from the external server .

For example, when a search command for a search term "cafe" is detected, the control unit 180 can output the business types related to "cafe " to the display unit 151. [ At least one category information 634 related to "cafe " can be output in the order of large class, middle class and small class. Alternatively, although not shown in the drawings, the trade name of a franchise chain in a retail form associated with a café such as "Starbucks", "Coffee Bean", etc. may be output as business type information.

Information retrieved by the retrieval command is output to the display unit 151, and at least one piece of information can be selected based on the touch input. For example, referring to FIG. 11 (b), the "non-alcoholic drink start-up" can be selected based on the touch input. In such a case, the control unit 180 may add "non-alcoholic beverage business" to a plurality of types of business information. Although not shown in the drawings, details related to "non-alcoholic beverage business" may be edited based on the touch input. For example, the added industry is "non-alcoholic beverage business", but the name can be changed to "cafe".

12 is a view for explaining a mobile terminal adding a business type using a specific business search according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 12 (b), the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 151 for outputting a window 642 formed to input a search word. In the case of a specific business search, at least one of the telephone number, business name, and address of the business to be searched can be used. However, the present invention is not limited to the above description, and the embodiment of the present invention can use various search items for searching for a specific business.

Here, a shop may mean a shop that has a certain facility, sells goods, or provides services. For example, it may refer to a business entity whose business registration is completed. Business information about a business can be managed as a set of data that is managed and integrated for the purpose of being shared by a plurality of people. For example, it can be managed as a database by an external server.

The control unit 180 may receive a search word related to the search item based on the touch input of the user input unit 130. [ For example, a search term "sue karaoke" may be input. And can detect a search command for a search term.

If a search command for a search term is detected, the control unit 180 can transmit the search term to the external server using the wireless communication unit 110. [ The external server can search the database using a search word and transmit the retrieved information to the mobile terminal 100 using the wireless communication unit 110. [ At this time, the control unit 180 may output at least one received business information 644 to the display unit 151. [

The control unit 180 may select at least one business information based on the touch input and add the business type information using the selected business information. The control unit 180 can add a business type for 41 singer karaoke stations located in the whole country, for example, when a touch input for "nationwide: singer karaoke (total 41)" is detected. When electronic money is generated for the "nationwide: karaoke (total 41) karaoke business ", the electronic money can be used in a total of 41 karaoke singers located in the whole country.

Also, the control unit 180 can select at least one business information from among the received plurality of business information. For example, at least one singing karaoke can be selected from "nationwide: sing karaoke (total 41) ".

Referring to FIGS. 12 (c) and 12 (d), the mobile terminal according to the present invention may include a display unit 151 for outputting a map 646. Since the business information may include location information such as an address, the control unit 180 may map at least one business to the map using the business information received from the external server. When the touch input of at least one mapped shop is detected, the control unit 180 may add the shop where the touch input is detected as the business type information. For example, if a touch input is detected for "Kang Nam Soo Karaoke", it is possible to add a business type for the singer Karaoke located in Gangnam. That is, in the case where electronic money is generated with the use of "Gangnam-sukong karaoke" as an industry that can be used, the electronic money can be used at a specific shop called "Gangnam-su karaoke".

13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a mobile terminal for setting an available area of an electronic money according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 13A, the mobile terminal 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 151 for outputting an address check window 652. A search term for selecting an available area for the electronic money can be input by the user input unit 130. [

For example, some words that make up an address, such as "Nonhyun-dong", can be entered as an address query. At this time, the control unit 180 can search for a related address using an address search word. If "Gangnam" is an address query, an address such as "Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul" can be searched. For another example, if "Busan" is an address query, an address such as "Busan City" may be searched.

When an instruction to set the address search page to the usable area of the electronic money is detected, the electronic money generating unit 182 can set the usable area as the use condition of the electronic money. That is, the electronic money generating unit 182 can generate electronic money usable in the usable area. For example, an electronic money of "one thousand won" that can be used in "Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul" can be generated.

At this time, it is possible to combine the embodiment for setting the available industry of the electronic money described above with reference to FIG. 8 and the embodiment for setting the usable area of the electronic money described above with reference to FIG. For example, you can set a usable area and then set a usable area. The order can be changed and it can be set at the same time.

13 (c), the control unit 180 can output a map to the display unit 151 instead of the plurality of types of business information described above with reference to FIG. 8 (d). At this time, the controller 180 can output the map by distinguishing the usable area and the rest of the area.

13 (d), the control unit 180 can superimpose the business type information together with the map and output it to the display unit 151. [ The control unit 180 searches for business information corresponding to the usable business type and generates a graphic object representing at least a part of the business information when the usable business type and usable area for the electronic money are set, The graphic object can be superimposed on the map and output.

For example, if the usable sector is set to "Su Kaya" and the usable area is set to "Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul", a map including "Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul" At this time, the business information corresponding to the usable business type can be searched.

Referring to FIG. 18, an electronic money system of a mobile terminal may include an external terminal 400 and a mobile terminal 100 to receive electronic money.

The control unit 180 may output a window 694 to the display unit 151 to inquire whether electronic money is to be transferred. Details regarding the electronic money for which the use condition is set can be output together with whether electronic money is transferred or not. Further, information of an external terminal to which electronic money such as "son " is transmitted can be output. For example, the information of the external terminal may be the telephone number of the external terminal, the terminal number of the external terminal, and the name of the external terminal user stored in the contact.

The window 694 for inquiring whether or not to transmit the electronic money can be output when the communication link with the external terminal is set by the short range communication unit 114, for example. In this case, the electronic money may be transmitted to the external terminal 400 only with approval by the user. The communication link may be created when the external terminal 400 is located in the area 700 where the local area communication unit 114 of the mobile terminal 100 is capable of local area communication.

In another example, a window 694 for asking whether the electronic money is to be transmitted may be output when generating "fifty thousand won" electronic money that can be used for "karaoke" in "son" before the communication link is established . In this case, electronic money can be transmitted simultaneously with tagging to the external terminal 400.

19 to 21 are views for explaining a mobile terminal related to a security code according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 19, a mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 151 for outputting a keypad 696. When electronic money is transmitted by tagging, a security problem may occur. In order to prevent the electronic money from being transmitted irrespective of the user's intention, a security code can be set.

The security code associated with electronic money transfer may be stored in the memory 160. For example, when a communication link with an external terminal is generated by the short-range communication unit 114, the controller 180 may receive the security code from the user. The control unit 180 compares the security code stored in the memory 160 with the security code input by the user, and may transmit the electronic money using the communication link when the mutual security codes match. If the mutual security code is inconsistent, a communication link may not be generated.

For example, a telephone number of an external terminal to which electronic money is to be transmitted may be received as a security code and stored in the memory 160. When the communication link with the external terminal is generated, the controller 180 can receive the information of the external terminal from the external terminal. At this time, the information of the external terminal may include a security code of the external terminal. The controller 180 compares the security code stored in the memory 160 with the security code of the external terminal and may transmit the electronic money using the communication link when mutual security codes match. In this case, the security code may be a telephone number of the external terminal, an identification number unique to the external terminal, a password determined by consensus among the users, and the like.

Referring to FIG. 20, the mobile terminal 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can output the fact to the display unit 151 when the security code is inconsistent and the electronic money can not be transmitted.

Referring to FIG. 21, a mobile terminal 100 having a communication link with an external terminal is shown. At this time, the controller 180 may receive a security code for transmitting electronic money using voice recognition. The control unit 180 compares the voice inputted using the microphone 122 with the security code stored in the memory 160, and can transmit the electronic money to the external terminal when the comparison results match.

For example, when a voice security code "Ganada Ramabasa" is stored in the memory 160 and the voice "Ganada Ramabasa" is detected in the microphone 122, the electronic money can be transmitted to the external terminal.

In another example, the mobile terminal 100 may further include a voice analysis unit, and the voice analysis unit may analyze the voice of the mobile terminal 100 user. The voice analysis unit can extract characteristics such as sound source, sincerity, and tone color from the voice waveform. The voice analysis unit can distinguish the users from the extracted characteristics. At this time, the voice analyzer can compare the voice of the user stored in the security code with the voice of the user that the microphone 122 senses. If the user's voice stored in the security code matches the user's voice detected by the microphone 122 as a result of comparison, the controller 180 can transmit the electronic money to the external terminal.

Referring to FIG. 22, an electronic money system of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step S310 of the first terminal to generate an electronic money set to use conditions. The first terminal may include an electronic money generating unit and may generate electronic money having a usage condition corresponding to at least one of a usable business type, usable area, usable time, and validity period.

Next, the first terminal and the second terminal are close to each other and a short-range communication unit generates a short-range link (S320). For example, the short-range communication unit may be an NFC communication module. If the first and second terminals are located within a predetermined area where short-range communication is possible, a communication link may be created between the first and second terminals.

Next, a step S330 may be performed in which the second terminal receives and stores the electronic money from the first terminal. The first terminal may transmit the electronic money generated using the communication link to the second terminal. The second terminal may store the electronic money transmitted by the first terminal in a memory.

Next, a step S340 may be performed in which the second terminal and the payment terminal are close to each other to generate a communication link by short-range communication. A communication link may be created between the second and the payment terminal if the second and payment terminal are located in a predetermined area where short-range communication is possible.

Next, the settlement terminal compares the settlement information with the use conditions of the electronic money, and performs the settlement using the electronic money according to the comparison result (S350). The payment terminal may refer to a terminal configured to perform payment using electronic money. The payment information may include the business name, contact and address of the business, payment amount, settlement date, and the like. At this time, the payment terminal compares the payment information with the usage condition, and if the usage condition is satisfied, the payment terminal can perform payment using the electronic money.

For example, the available area is "Nonhyun-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul," and the usable category is "Karaoke". The electronic money with the usage condition is stored in the second terminal, and the business address of the payment information is " Quot; and the business type is "stationery ", the payment terminal can cancel payment using electronic money. This is because the business type of the use condition and the business type of the payment terminal do not coincide with each other.

The mobile terminal, the control method thereof, and the electronic money system according to the present invention can generate electronic money and transfer the generated electronic money to an external terminal, thereby achieving a monetary transaction with a simple method. Further, according to the present invention, since the assignee of the electronic money can use the electronic money based on the use condition set in the electronic money, it is possible to provide convenience for the monetary transaction of the assignee. In addition, since the validity period of the electronic money can be set, the transferee of the electronic money can recover the unused electronic money.
