FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining a schematic configuration for implementing a remote controllable application control method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a remote controller 20 may be provided to implement a remote controllable application control method according to the technical idea of the present invention. The remote controller 20 can control the target device 10 through short-range communication. Controlling the target apparatus 10 may mean transmitting predetermined information to a predetermined application (or program) installed in the target apparatus 10 or allowing a predetermined operation to be performed through the application have. Also, as will be described later, the remote controller 20 may be implemented as a predetermined software system without being implemented as a separate device. That is, the software that performs the function of the remote controller 20 is installed in a predetermined data processing apparatus, so that the data processing apparatus can perform the function of the remote controller 20. When the software system is implemented to perform the function of the remote controller 20, the software system is defined as a virtual remote control system.

The target device 10 mainly describes a smartphone or a smart device mainly in the embodiment of the present invention, but may be implemented as any data processing device capable of implementing the functions defined herein. For example, the target device 10 may be a data processing device, such as a smart phone, a tablet PC, a laptop, a desktop, a mobile terminal, a PMP, a PDA,

The target device 10 may be provided with a predetermined application system. The application system may mean a system in which software for implementing functions and operations of the application system and hardware included in the target apparatus 10 are combined and implemented. The application system can be implemented by installing the software (application) in the target device 10. [

If necessary, the application system may communicate with a predetermined service server 30 to implement the technical idea of the present invention.

The service server 30 may communicate with the application system, the remote controller 20, and / or the virtual remote control system to implement the technical idea of the present invention.

The service server 30 may register an ID of a legitimate remote controller or a virtual remote control system to which the technical idea of the present invention can be applied. Further, a list of controllable application systems and / or target applications for each remote controller (or virtual remote control system) can be further registered. As will be described later, by using the registered information, the ID of the remote controller (or the virtual remote control system) from the application system connected to the service server 30 and the identification information of the application system and / (Or a virtual remote control system), whether the remote controller (or virtual remote control system) is a valid remote controller (or a virtual remote control system), whether the application system and / or the target application is controlled by the remote controller And transmits the determination result to the application system. Then, the application system can control the target application according to the received determination result.

Also, as will be described later, the service server 30 determines whether the disposable authentication information included in the message set is valid from the application system and transmits the determination result to the application system so that the disposable authentication information must be authenticated So that control of the application is performed.

First, the case where the remote controller 20 according to the technical idea of the present invention is implemented as a separate device as shown in FIG. 1 will be described.

According to an example, the remote controller 20 may output a radio signal to control the application system provided in the target device 10 or the target device 10. One example of the radio signal may be a sound file having a predetermined band. In the case where the remote controller 20 outputs a radio signal to the target device 10 through the sound wave, the target device 10 may be a device having a sound wave receiving means (for example, a microphone) There is an effect that can be applied.

According to another embodiment, the wireless signal may be a wireless signal using BLE Bluetooth. As is known, in the case of BLE Bluetooth, pairing between two devices can be performed very easily, and communication can be performed with low power, so that the present invention can be applied to the technical idea of the present invention.

The remote controller 20 can select a specific device to be controlled by outputting the radio signal in a relatively short distance (for example, several tens cm to several meters) to the target device 10 to be controlled. Thus, desired information can be directly transmitted to the desired target device 10.

According to the technical idea of the present invention, the radio signal output from the remote controller 20 may include a predetermined message set. The message set may be a collection of information to be delivered to the application system. Based on the message set, the application system may perform the operations defined in the message set.

Also, according to the technical idea of the present invention, when a plurality of applications are installed in the target device 10, it is possible to select an application to be controlled among a plurality of applications.

As described above, according to the technical idea of the present invention, when any one of the unspecified target devices 10 is controlled through short-distance communication, a series of operations to be performed by the customer of the target device 10 is transmitted to the remote controller 20) has an effect that can be performed by the control subject. In addition, since the specific information can be directly transmitted from a close location without knowing the identification information of the specific device, as compared with the case where the service side performs the peer-to-peer communication or the server client communication to transmit the specific information to the specific device, And it has a very high utility.

The configuration of an application system installed in the target device 10 to realize such a technical idea will be described with reference to Fig.

2 is a diagram for explaining a schematic configuration of an application system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, an application system 100 (hereinafter referred to as an application system) capable of executing a remote controller according to an embodiment of the present invention includes hardware installed in the target device 10 and software As shown in FIG.

The application system 100 may include a control module 110, a signal acquisition module 120, and a message acquisition module 130. The application system 100 may further include an authentication module 140 and / or a communication module 150. According to an embodiment of the present invention, some of the above-mentioned components may not necessarily correspond to the components necessary for the implementation of the present invention, and in accordance with the embodiment, But may include more components.

The application system 100 may include hardware resources and / or software necessary to implement the technical idea of the present invention, and does not necessarily mean a single physical component or a single device . That is, the application system 100 may mean a logical combination of hardware and / or software provided to implement the technical idea of the present invention. If necessary, the application system 100 may be installed in a separate apparatus to perform respective functions And may be embodied as a set of logical structures for realizing the technical idea of the present invention.

In this specification, a module may mean a functional and structural combination of hardware for carrying out the technical idea of the present invention and software for driving the hardware. For example, the module may refer to a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for executing the predetermined code, and it does not necessarily mean a physically connected code or a kind of hardware But can be easily deduced to the average expert in the field of the present invention.

The control module 110 may communicate with other components (e.g., the signal acquisition module 120, the message acquisition module 130, the authentication module 140, and / or the communication module) included in the application system 100 150), etc.) and / or resources.

The signal acquisition module 120 may acquire a radio signal output from the remote controller 20. [ The signal acquisition module 120 may obtain the wireless signal in various manners according to embodiments of the wireless signal. If the radio signal is a sound wave, the signal acquisition module 120 may acquire the radio signal through a microphone provided in the target device 10. Also, when the wireless signal is a BLE Bluetooth wireless signal, the signal acquisition module 120 may acquire the wireless signal through a BLE Bluetooth device provided in the target device 10. The signal acquisition module 120, which is provided in the target device 10 and can receive the wireless signal according to an embodiment of the other wireless signal, can acquire the wireless signal output from the remote controller 20 have.

The radio signal may include a message set to be transmitted to the application system 100 by the control subject of the remote controller 20. The message acquisition module 130 may acquire a message set included in the wireless signal. If the radio signal is a sound wave having a predetermined frequency band, the message set may be encoded into the radio signal through various well-known encoding schemes. The encoding scheme of the message set can be performed, for example, through frequency modulation. For example, the remote controller 20 allocates different frequencies for each data bit corresponding to a message set (e.g., from msb to lsb). If the bit is 1, the remote controller 20 turns on the corresponding frequency and if the bit is 0 It is possible to perform encoding in such a manner that the corresponding frequency is turned off, and output these frequencies as a radio signal. The message acquisition module 130 may then decode the message set in a decoding manner corresponding to the manner in which the message set is encoded to obtain the message set. For example, the message acquisition module 130 performs a spectrum analysis for analyzing a frequency component by performing an FFT (Fast Fourier Transform), and performs decoding to acquire an encoded bit according to whether a frequency component allocated for each bit exists can do.

For example, if the wireless signal is a BLE Bluetooth signal, the message acquisition module 130 may obtain the message set by obtaining a packet corresponding to the message set included in the wireless signal. Of course, the message set may be encrypted in a predetermined manner, in which case the message acquisition module 130 may decrypt the encrypted message set.

If the message set is obtained by the message acquisition module 130, the control module 110 may control the target application corresponding to the message set. That is, the target application can control to perform an operation corresponding to the command set included in the message set. The target application may be different depending on the message set, or may be a predetermined application, that is, an application corresponding to the application system 100. [

That is, an application corresponding to the application system 100 (hereinafter referred to as a master application) is executed in the background in the target device 10, and an application separate from the master application, that is, an application corresponding to a command set And in some implementations the master application itself may perform operations corresponding to the set of commands.

When the control module 110 controls a target application that is separate from the master application, the message set may include an ID of the target application that can identify the target application. The application table storing the ID of the target application and information on the target application corresponding to the ID is stored in the application system 100 itself or is stored in the service server 30 in which the application system 100 can communicate Can be. Accordingly, when the control module 110 acquires the ID, the control module 110 can refer to the application table to identify the target application.

Then, the control module 110 may execute the target application based on the ID of the target application, and may transmit the command set to the executed target application. For this, the control module 110 may call a predetermined message or function for executing the target application, and may transmit the command set as a parameter to the target application while making a call.

The command set may include a command and a command parameter. The command may be an instruction that defines an action to be performed by the target application. The command parameter may be information (parameter) necessary for executing the command. Of course, when such a parameter is not required, the command may not include the command parameter.

Also, according to an embodiment, the control of the target application controlled by the remote controller 20 may simply be the execution of the target application. In this case, the message set may include only a command of execution of the target application.

For example, the control of the target application to be performed by the message set may be a specific operation to be performed after the target application is executed (e.g., execution of a specific service among the services provided by the target application). In this case, the command set may include only a command corresponding to the specific operation.

For example, when necessary information is present while performing the specific operation, the command parameter may further include a command parameter.

For example, as described above, if the customer is in a situation where he or she wishes to pay for the meals at the restaurant, the command may be displayed on a predetermined service page of the target application (e.g., a service displaying a bill shown in FIG. 4 (E.g., a payment amount (20,000 won), a payment item (A), etc.) to be displayed on the service page or information for specifying the display information (for example, Table information).

In this case, the control subject (for example, an employee) of the remote controller 20 transmits a command and table information (or a calculated amount, etc.) to the customer via the remote controller 20 to display the statement to the customer, Can be input to the remote controller (20) through a keypad. Then, the remote controller 20 can be brought close to the target device 10 held by the customer by a necessary distance, and then the wireless signal can be output. The wireless signal may include a command to display a statement and a message set to include the table information (or calculation amount) as command parameters. In this case, the control module 110 may execute the target application in accordance with the command and cause the target application to execute a command to display the statement. The target application acquires display information (for example, payment amount, payment item, table identification information, etc.) to be included in the billing through communication with the service server 30 based on the table information, which is a command parameter, May be included in the bill. Of course, the command parameters (e.g., payment amount, payment items, etc.) included in the command set may be the display information itself according to the embodiment. In this case, the target application may include the command parameter itself It is possible. That is, the command parameter may be display information itself or information necessary for obtaining the display information through the service server 30. [

For example, when a specific point such as a predetermined mileage or stamp is to be accumulated, the command may be a command corresponding to accumulation of mileage or stamp, and the command parameter may be the amount of mileage or stamp to be accumulated.

For example, when an operation for downloading a specific application is required, the command may be an application download, and the command parameter may be identification information of an application to be downloaded. Of course, the target application may be an application having the ability to download the application.

It goes without saying that the parameters of the command and / or command may vary depending on the service to be used for the technical idea of the present invention.

The command table in which the identification information of the command and the content of the command corresponding to the command are defined may be stored in the application system 100 itself or may be stored in the service server 30 in which the application system 100 can communicate There may be. Accordingly, when the control module 110 acquires a message set and acquires a command set included in the message set, the control module 110 can control the operation corresponding to the command set to be performed by the target application using the command table have.

When this control is performed, the result of the execution can be fed back to the remote controller 20. For this, information on the result of performing the control operation may be transmitted to the remote controller 20 through the service server 30. To this end, the remote controller 20 may be provided with a communication device (for example, a 3G communication chip, etc.) capable of performing communication with the service server 30. Then, the control subject of the remote controller 20 can confirm the completion of the service to be executed according to the technical idea of the present invention by checking the execution result. Of course, when the target device 10 is provided with a device capable of performing short-range communication with the remote controller 20, the communication module 150 may be connected to the remote controller 20 through the device, The information about the execution result may be directly transmitted.

Meanwhile, according to the technical idea of the present invention, the application system 100 may further include an authentication module 140. When the wireless signal includes the one-time authentication information (OTP) for preventing replay attacks of the wireless signal or the message set, the authentication module 140 authenticates (validates) the one-time authentication information can do. That the authentication module 140 authenticates the one-time authentication information (validity confirmation) may include a process of receiving and verifying the authentication result from the service server 30. The authentication module 140 may directly generate the authentication information synchronized with the one-time authentication information generated by the remote controller 20 for authentication of the one-time authentication information. According to an embodiment, authentication information synchronized with the one-time authentication information generated by the remote controller 20 is generated by the service server 30, and the authentication module 140 generates one-time authentication information May be confirmed through the service server 30. The control module 110 may control the target application to perform an operation corresponding to the message set in the case where authentication of the one-time authentication information is successful by the authentication module 140. [

According to another embodiment, when the service server 30 generates the one-time authentication information and transmits it to the remote controller 20, the remote controller 20 includes the received one-time authentication information in the message set, To the application system 100 as shown in FIG. In this case, the authentication module 140 may check the validity of the one-time authentication information by transmitting the obtained one-time authentication information to the service server 30 and receiving the authentication result from the service server 30. [ In this case, synchronization of the one-time authentication information is not necessary.

The communication module 150 may perform a function of allowing the application system 100 and the service server 30 to communicate with each other. It is possible to control the wireless communication device.

Meanwhile, the ID of the remote controller 20 may be further included in the message set. When the ID of the remote controller 20 is included in the message set, the control module 110 determines whether the identification information of the remote controller corresponds to the application system 100 and / The target application can be controlled only when it corresponds to the target application. The application system 100 and / or the remote controller 20 corresponding to the target application may refer to the legitimate remote controller 20 that can control the application system 100 and / or the target application. The legitimate remote controller 20 capable of controlling the application system 100 and / or the target application may be set differently for each application system 100 and may be legitimately configured by a legitimate service entity, Or may be a remote controller 20 to which the remote controller 20 is assigned. That is, a legitimate remote controller 20 may be separately defined for a specific target device 10 or the application system 100 installed in the target device 10, or may be defined for the target device 10 or the application system 100 A legitimate remote controller 20 may be defined so as to be commonly used without any distinction. Of course, according to the embodiment, the identification information of the application system 100 and / or the identification information of the target application which can be controlled by the identification information of the remote controller may be defined in advance.

The remote controller 20 includes information on the IDs of the application systems 100 and / or the remote controllers 20 corresponding to the target applications (or information on controllable application systems and / or target applications by IDs of the remote controllers) The authentication information may be stored in the application system 100 or may be stored in the service server 30. The control module 110 determines whether the ID of the remote controller 20 included in the message set corresponds to the application system 100 and / 30), it is possible to prevent the remote controller 20 from being controlled by the remote controller 20 even if a remote controller generated by an unauthorized attacker wants to control the application system 100 or even if a legitimate service entity has created the remote controller It is possible to prevent the application system 100 and / or the target application from being used differently.

3 is a diagram for explaining a message set according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a message set 43 may be included in the message set 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The command set 43 may be information for defining an operation to be performed by the target application, as described above. The command set 43 may simply define execution of the target application and define a process or service to be executed after execution.

The command set 43 may include the command 43-1 as described above. And may further include a command parameter 43-2 if necessary. The command parameter 43-2 can specify information necessary for executing the command. In addition, the command set 43 may further include an auxiliary command 43-3 and an auxiliary parameter 43-4 if necessary. The auxiliary command 43-3 and the auxiliary parameter 43-4 include a command that can select such a process and information that specifies information necessary for the process when there is a process that can be selectively performed in the command execution process Lt; / RTI > Therefore, the auxiliary command 43-3 and the auxiliary parameter 43-4 can be a series of information that can be defined depending on the command. Of course, the command, the command parameter, the auxiliary command and / or the auxiliary parameter included in the message set 40 may be one or more. For example, if a command to load a statement, a parameter of the command (e.g., table information) is included in the message set, the auxiliary command may be a command to load the partition statement, and the auxiliary parameter may be split ). In this case, the application system can load the partitioned bill dividing the bill of the specific table into the number of persons in the target device 10.

In addition, the message set 40 may further include an ID 42 of the target application as described above. In addition, the message set 40 may further include an ID 41 of the remote controller 20. In addition, the message set 40 may further include one-time authentication information (OTP) 44.

Referring to FIG. 2, when the radio signal output from the remote controller 20 is a sound wave according to the technical idea of the present invention, the signal acquiring module 120 acquires, via a microphone provided in the target device 100, The wireless signal can be obtained as described above.

However, when the signal acquisition module 120 always obtains control of the microphone of the target device 10 so that it can receive the radio signal at any time, the other application of the target device 10 There is a problem that required sound waves can not be obtained through the microphone. In addition, when the application system 100 continuously waits for receiving sound waves received through the microphone, unnecessary sound waves, that is, sound waves generated in life other than the sound waves output from the remote controller 20, There is a problem that the power consumption of the target device 10 is unnecessarily increased.

Therefore, the signal acquisition module 120 can wait for reception of the radio signal by controlling the microphone only when a predetermined event occurs in the target device 10. [ That is, the application system 100 can acquire control of the microphone and allow the application system 100 to acquire sound waves received from the microphones. And, after a predetermined time has elapsed after the above-described event occurs, the receiving standby state can be terminated. Or when the other application is executed as the uppermost layer in the target apparatus 10, the receiving standby state can be terminated. This case may be presumed to be a case where the customer desires to utilize another application, and it may be because it is not preferable that the application system 100 owns the control of the microphone even in this state. In addition, various ending events (for example, elapsing of a predetermined time and / or execution in the uppermost layer of another application) can be set in advance, and when the ending event occurs, the application system 100 ends the reception waiting state .

That is, the control of the microphone can be released.

When the sound wave output from the remote controller 20 is received within the predetermined time, the control of the target application can be performed as described above. If the sound wave received within the predetermined time is not a sound wave output from the remote controller 20, the signal acquisition module 120 may ignore the sound wave and continuously wait for the output sound wave of the remote controller 20 have.

When the predetermined time has elapsed, the signal acquisition module 120 may release the microphone. After the microphone is released, the application system 100 may not be able to acquire the sound wave even when the remote controller 20 outputs the sound wave.

The event can be set in various ways. For example, if the target device 10 is a smart device, then the action to activate the state of the target device 10 (e.g., unlocking the lock screen, entering a password, etc.) may be the event. This event may be an event that is executed by the owner of the target device 10. Therefore, the subject of the remote controller 20 requests the customer to execute the event, and when the customer executes the event, the remote controller 20 can output the sound wave through the remote controller 20 within a predetermined time.

Therefore, the present invention can solve the problem that the target device 10 provided with the microphone device is provided with general versatility to which the technical idea of the present invention can be applied, while being continuously waiting for a radio signal which is not received.

Of course, according to an embodiment of the service, the event is not necessarily performed by the customer but may be an operation automatically performed by the target device 10, or may be variously set according to needs, such as the arrival of a preset time . For this purpose, the signal acquisition module 120 may be implemented to monitor whether or not such an event occurs in the target device 10. [

Also, according to one embodiment, the radio signal may be a sound file in a band of 15,000 Hz to 18,000 Hz. When the radio signal is in the range of 15,000 Hz to 18,000 Hz, it is within the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz, which is an audible frequency, but it is a frequency band that can not be easily heard by people, so that most people do not feel unnecessary noise . The target device 10 has a relatively high frequency band within the audible frequency, which is a frequency band that does not occur in a normal living or a natural environment. The microphone provided in the target device 10 is generally used to acquire a sound wave in an audible frequency band. There is an advantage that most microphones can acquire high quality signals regardless of their performance. Also, the wireless signal output unit (for example, a configuration including a speaker) provided in the remote controller 20 is also advantageous in that the frequency band can be output without being greatly affected by quality or price.

The control module 210 may control the functions and / or resources of other configurations included in the virtual remote control system 200 as described above.

The interface module 220 may receive source information corresponding to a message set from the source system. The source information may be information necessary for generating the message set. Such source information may be information that can be obtained through the source system.

For example, as described above, when the user of the target apparatus 10 performs settlement according to the technical idea of the present invention, the source information is transmitted to the virtual remote control system 200 in order to obtain an invoice (or a bill) Lt; / RTI > For example, the information capable of identifying the bill may be the source information.

The source system may refer to a system capable of providing source information in order to utilize the technical idea of the present invention. The source system may be a data processing apparatus in which the virtual remote control system 200 is installed or a device connected to a data processing apparatus in which the virtual remote control system 200 is installed through a network. For example, the source system may be a system that manages a purchase list corresponding to a bill to be paid by a user. According to one example, the source system may be a point-of-sale system provided in a store. Or the source system may be an online market system that provides an online marketplace (shopping).

Of course, the case where a user purchases a predetermined article or service and performs settlement according to the technical idea of the present invention is taken as an example. However, depending on the type of service to which the technical idea of the present invention is applied, It goes without saying that the embodiments may be various.

In any case, the interface module 210 may obtain source information from the source system. The virtual remote control system 200 and the source system can communicate with the source system using a predetermined protocol such as a function or an API call so that the source system transmits the source information Can be obtained.

It is needless to say that the message set included in the radio signal generated by the virtual remote control system 200 and output through the radio signal output device may be the same as or similar to that described in FIG.

As a result, the virtual remote control system 200 can acquire information (source information) necessary for specifying a message set from the source system unlike the remote controller 20 described above, and can separately obtain a remote controller or a radio signal output unit And may output the wireless signal according to the technical idea of the present invention through a predetermined wireless signal output device without the wireless signal output device.

Also, when the authentication information generation module 240 is included in the virtual remote control system 200, it is needless to say that the one-time authentication information may be included in the message set as described above. In addition, the one-time authentication information may be generated by the service server 30 and transmitted to the virtual remote control system 200 as described above.

The virtual remote control system 200 may further include a predetermined communication module (not shown) for receiving an operation result corresponding to a message set from the service server 30 or the target device 10 Are as described above.

10 and 11 are views for explaining services that can be performed using a virtual remote control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

10 is an example of a case where the virtual remote control system 200 is installed in a source system, and FIG. 11 is an example of a case where the virtual remote control system 200 is installed in a data processing apparatus separate from the source system to be.

10 and 11 illustrate a case in which a user purchases a predetermined article or service and performs settlement. However, it goes without saying that the technical idea of the present invention can be applied to various embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 10, a virtual remote control system 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be installed in a source system (e.g., POS system 300). That is, in this case, the source system 300 may be the same device as the data processing apparatus in which the virtual remote control system 200 is installed. The user can purchase a certain article or service, and the purchased list can be input to the POS system.

Then, the virtual remote control system 200 specifies source information (e.g., billing amount corresponding to the purchase list or identification information capable of identifying a purchase list, etc.) specifying the bill to be paid by the user From the source system 300. In this case,

The virtual remote control system 200 may generate a message set corresponding to the source information and transmit the radio signal information corresponding to the generated message set to the radio signal output apparatus 400. [

The radio signal output device 400 may be connected to a POS system and the user may place his / her target device 10 in the vicinity of the radio signal output device 400, A wireless signal may be obtained with the target device 10.

For example, if the source information is itself information (e.g., a purchase list and / or a payment amount) that can specify an invoice, the source information may be included in the message set with a command parameter. The target device 10 may then display (e.g., pop-up) an invoice corresponding to the source information, and the user may make a payment using the displayed invoice.

For example, when the source information is identification information capable of identifying a purchase list to specify an invoice, the virtual remote control system 200 transmits the purchase list acquired by the source system 300 to the service server 30 . When a message set including the source information is acquired in the target apparatus 10, the application system 100 installed in the target apparatus 10 transmits the source information to the service server 30, The service server 30 may transmit information (e.g., a purchase list, a payment amount, etc.) that can specify the bill to the application system 100 based on the information. The bill may then be displayed on the target device 10.

The message set may further include identification information of the source system 300 (e.g., a MAC address of the source system 300, a merchant ID input at the POS, etc.), a data processing apparatus At least one of the users of the virtual remote control system 200 (for example, the store care user ID, which is a user of the POS as the source system 300), and / or the ID of the virtual remote control system 200 itself, May be included in place of the ID 41.

If the message set includes identification information of the source system 300 (e.g., a MAC address of the source system 300), user identification information of the data processing apparatus in which the virtual remote control system 200 is installed (E.g., a store user ID) of the POS, which is the source system 300, or the ID of the virtual remote control system 200 itself, the service server 30 maintains / The table to be managed may be stored in advance. And use the table to check whether the information included in the message set correspond to each other. For example, if the message set includes the identification information of the source system 300 and the ID of the virtual remote control system 200, the service server 30 may be provided with identification information of the source system 300, The identification information of the virtual remote control system 200 installed in the message server 300 may be stored in advance so as to correspond to the identification information of the virtual remote control system 200. The information included in the message set And identification information of the virtual remote control system 200) are correlated with each other to improve security. Of course, when the user identification information of the data processing apparatus (i.e., the source system 300) is included in the message set, identification information of the source system 300 corresponding to the user identification information and / The identification information of the system 200 may be stored so as to correspond to the service server 30 in advance and it may be checked whether the information included in the message set corresponds to each other using the stored information. Of course, if the result of the check does not correspond to each other, information corresponding to the source information (for example, information capable of specifying an invoice, etc.) may not be transmitted to the target server 10 by the service server 30.

For example, the source system 300 may be an online market system that provides an online service for a user to purchase goods or services on-line through the data processing apparatus 500.

The source system 300 may specify a predetermined purchase list according to an action performed by the data processing apparatus 500 in the source system 300. When the user requests payment to the source system 300 and / or the data processing apparatus 500 to perform settlement according to the technical idea of the present invention, the virtual remote control system 200 transmits the settlement request to the source system 300 300). ≪ / RTI > The source information may be billing information capable of specifying an invoice as described above.

Then, the virtual remote control system 200 generates a message set including the source information, and transmits wireless signal information corresponding to the generated message set to a wireless signal output device connected to (or embedded in) the data processing device So that a radio signal can be output to the user's target device 10. [

The target device 10 obtains the source information contained in the message set, and the bill can be specified based on the acquired source information. The specified bill can then be displayed on the target device 10. If the source information is identification information for identifying an invoice or a purchase list, the target device 10 may receive information capable of specifying an invoice from the source system (e.g., on-line market system 300). That is, in this case, the source system 300 may perform the function of the service server 30.

Of course, the service server 30 as described above may be implemented separately from the source system 300, and the information that can specify the invoice may be transmitted from the source system 300 to the service server 30 . And the target device 10 may receive the information from the service server 30. [

At this time, the message set also includes identification information of the source system 300 (e.g., online marketplace identification information), identification information of the data processing apparatus 500 installed in the virtual remote control system 200 At least one of the user identification information of the data processing apparatus (for example, the user ID in the on-line market) or the identification information of the virtual remote control system 200 is the ID 41 of the remote controller 200 ) May be included instead.

At this time, the service server 30 is also required to provide such information (identification information of the source system 300 (for example, identification information of an online marketplace), identification of the data processing apparatus 500 in which the virtual remote control system 200 is installed (For example, the MAC address, etc.) of the data processing apparatus, the user identification information of the data processing apparatus (for example, the user ID in the online marketplace, and / or the identification information of the virtual remote control system 200) Can be managed. As described above, information corresponding to the source information can be provided to the target apparatus 10 because the information included in the message set corresponds to information maintained and managed by the service server 30.

In the case of this embodiment, the user can effect online purchase by using his / her own data processing apparatus 500, and can easily perform settlement with his or her target apparatus 10. [ That is, it is not necessary for the user to directly execute the application for settlement in the target device 10, and as described above, the acquisition of the radio signal causes the message set such as the execution of the application and / There is an effect that the corresponding operation can be performed automatically.

10 and 11 illustrate a case in which a user performs settlement, the technical idea of the present invention may be applied to a case in which predetermined accumulation information (e.g., coupon, stamp, Miley, etc.) is accumulated in a user . Such earning information may be included in a message set as source information together with the billing information when purchasing and / or paying for an article or service as described above. Or in the case where the user wants to accumulate the accumulation information to the user separately from purchasing and / or settlement. For example, the virtual remote control system 200 receives the earliest information from the source system 300 as source information, and the earliest information may be included in the message set and acquired by the target device 10 via the wireless signal. Then, the target device 10 receiving the accumulation information can display to the user that the accumulation corresponding to the accumulation information has been performed. Of course, the accumulation may be performed by transmitting the accumulation information to the service server 30 and maintaining / managing accumulation information for each user by the service server 30.
