Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a one-touch donation system and method using NFC tags and a portable terminal,

The present invention relates to a donation method and system, and more particularly, to a one-touch donation method and system using local wireless communication (NFC) between a donor terminal and an NFC tag.

Examples of existing digital-based donation systems include Internet site fundraising, ARS fundraising, donor terminal applications, and donation methods using QR codes. However, there are three persistent problems with these donation systems.

The first problem is the inconvenience of the donation process. The user must make a call to make a donation or access an internet site. The donation method using the QR code also has the inconvenience that the user has to photograph the image directly by operating the camera function. Accordingly, it is impossible to use the QR code-based donation system in a terminal user who is suffering from a serious embarrassment or in a place where the wireless communication network is not smooth or a user who can not use data roaming and WiFi abroad.

The second problem is the difficulty of hardware / software compatibility of donation earning systems. The idea that consumers convert certain amounts into donations in relation to payment of certain goods is accompanied by a requirement that they must be interlocked with the existing POS system's payment system or credit card payment system in hardware / software, and in order to realize this, It requires additional effort and expense to upgrade the hardware / software of payment systems. For payment system companies and store shoppers, it would be a burden to introduce a donation system as long as they do so.

If the signature value is successfully verified, the donor's identity is successfully authenticated. The reason for adding the random number is to prevent an external attacker from stealing the signed donation request data to perform a replay attack. In other words, since the random number requested by the donation management server 200 is changed every time, the attacker can not reuse it later even if it steals the existing signed random number.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the authentication procedure (S300) between the donor terminal 100 and the donor management server 200 may be a secret symmetric key based authentication protocol shared by both parties. For example, the donor terminal 100 encrypts the random number requested by the donation management server 200 using the secret symmetric key and transmits it to the donation management server 200, and the donation management server 200 transmits the secret Authentication is successful if the decrypted value of the encrypted value using the symmetric key is the same random number.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the authentication procedure (S300) between the donor terminal 100 and the donor management server 200 is performed in such a manner that the donor terminal 100 transmits a hash value of the donor's password or password to the donation management server 200 ), And the donor management server 200 may compare the received value with the value stored in the database 210 to compare the value stored in the database 210 to authenticate the donor. If the donator is already logged in to the donor terminal 100, he or she may not separately input the password every time the donator makes a donation.

If the authentication procedure is successfully performed, the donation management server 200 stores the donation request data, donation occurrence location information, donation date and time information in the database 210 (S400).

Thereafter, the donation management server 200 notifies the donor terminal 100 of the result of the donation request data processing (S500). The donor terminal 100 may inform the donator of the donation result through a screen display or a sound.

In one preferred embodiment of the method presented by the present invention, the donor terminal 100 includes a donor terminal 100, a donor terminal 100, or a donor terminal 200, It is possible to set the amount of money to the donation management server 200 in a lump sum.
