Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing system and method.

Conventionally, the following settlement systems existed.
For example, in the payment system described in Patent Document 1, customer information is transmitted from a registered customer's smartphone to a store terminal, and the store terminal requests the server to confirm customer information. The server requests the card payment approval from the store terminal. When the store terminal approves, the server asks the registered customer's smartphone whether the payment is OK, receives a payment OK reply, makes a payment, and transmits the result to the registered customer's smartphone and the store terminal.

  For example, in the payment system described in Patent Document 1, the retailer server transmits a consumer ID, sales price information, retailer ID, and the like to the payment intermediary server corresponding to the payment intermediary ID. The payment intermediary server selects a payment account and a corresponding payment server from the consumer ID, and transmits sales price information, retailer ID, payment account information, and the like to the selected payment server. When the settlement server approves the settlement, the settlement server sends the delivery destination to the retailer server together with a notification to that effect.

FIG. 5 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration of the information processing system according to the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 5, in the CPU 41 of the store terminal 2, a billed amount reception unit 81, a billed amount transmission control unit 82, a beacon transmission control unit 83, and a settlement information reception control unit 84 function.
In the CPU 141 of the user terminal 3, a beacon reception control unit 121, a user information transmission control unit 122, and a settlement information reception control unit 123 function.
In the CPU 21 of the service providing server 1, a payment waiting information management unit 91 and a payment control unit 92 function. As one area of the storage unit 28, a settlement waiting information DB 101 is provided.

When the user purchases a product or the like at the store, as described above, the amount of the product or the like, that is, the amount charged to the user is displayed on the POS device P.
Therefore, the store clerk inputs the bill displayed on the POS device P to the store terminal 2. Then, the charge amount reception unit 81 of the store terminal 2 receives the input charge amount.
The charged amount transmission control unit 82 associates the charged amount with identification information (in this embodiment, referred to as a store terminal ID) that can identify the store terminal 2, and associates the charged amount with the service providing server 1 via the communication unit 49. Execute control to send to.
The payment waiting information management unit 91 of the service providing server 1 acquires information including the billing amount and the store terminal ID transmitted from the store terminal 2 in this way via the communication unit 29 as the payment waiting information. And the payment waiting information management part 91 manages by storing the said payment waiting information in the payment waiting information DB101. A specific example of the payment waiting information management method will be described later with reference to FIG.

  During this time, the beacon transmission control unit 83 of the store terminal 2 performs control so that a beacon including the store terminal ID is transmitted from the beacon communication unit 50 within a predetermined communication area.

Here, FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an outline of the beacon communication process.
The beacon communication process refers to a process in which the store terminal 2 unilaterally transmits a beacon including the store terminal ID and the user terminal 3 receives the beacon to acquire the store terminal ID.

As shown in the upper diagram of FIG. 6, the user terminal 3 held by the user Uc receives a beacon from the store terminal 2 when the user terminal 3 is located outside the predetermined communication range of the beacon of the store terminal 2. I can't.
As shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 6, when the user Uc brings the user terminal 3 close to the screen of the store terminal 2 or the like in order to pay for a product or the like, the user terminal 3 makes a predetermined beacon. You will enter the communication range.
At this time, the beacon reception control unit 121 of the user terminal 3 in FIG. 5 performs control to receive the beacon via the beacon communication unit 70.
And the user information transmission control part 122 respond | corresponds with the shop terminal ID contained in the said beacon, and the identifier (In this embodiment, it is set as the user name managed by the service provision server 1) which can identify the user Uc. In addition, control to be transmitted to the service providing server 1 via the communication unit 69 is executed.

The settlement control unit 92 of the service providing server 1 associates the store terminal ID with the store terminal ID when the same store terminal ID included in the settlement wait information stored in the settlement wait information DB 101 is transmitted from the user terminal 3. The user Uc is specified by the transmitted user name. Specifically, for example, in the present embodiment, information (hereinafter simply referred to as “user information”) relating to a user such as name and credit card information is recorded in the service providing server 1 for each of a plurality of users. Yes. Therefore, the settlement control unit 92 specifies the user Uc by referring to this user information.
Then, the settlement control unit 92 performs a settlement process for the bill amount included in the settlement waiting information for the user Uc specified in this way.
Here, the payment process includes not only a process in which the service providing server 1 itself makes a payment but also a process for controlling or supporting the payment by another apparatus. In the present embodiment, the payment server S performs payment as described above. Therefore, the service providing server 1 communicates with the payment server S to execute a predetermined control process so that payment is executed in the payment server S.
The settlement control unit 92 generates information indicating the result of the settlement (hereinafter referred to as “settlement information”), and executes control to transmit to the store terminal 2 and the user terminal 3 via the communication unit 29.

The payment information reception control unit 84 of the store terminal 2 executes control for receiving the payment information transmitted from the service providing server 1 via the communication unit 49.
The payment information reception control unit 123 of the user terminal 3 executes control for receiving the payment information transmitted from the service providing server 1 via the communication unit 69.

As described above, in the information processing system of the present embodiment, user information such as a user name, that is, user personal information is transmitted to the service providing server 1 without being transmitted to the store terminal 2. In this way, it is possible to effectively prevent abuse of the user's personal information on the store side.
Further, it is convenient for the user that the settlement is completed simply by performing a simple operation such as bringing the user terminal 3 close to the store terminal 2 (spoofing). As will be described later, it is preferable to separately perform an operation for indicating that the user intends to make a payment in order to prevent others from making a payment.
Further, for the store, since the settlement is performed between the service providing server 1 and the user, it is convenient because the product etc. can be sold to the user without joining the credit company.

Next, a flow of a series of processes executed by the information processing system having the functional configuration shown in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram showing a flow of a series of processes executed by the information processing system having the functional configuration of FIG.

For example, in the state where the input screen of FIG. 8 is displayed on the store terminal 2, the store clerk inputs the billing amount displayed on the POS device P to the store terminal 2.
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen displayed on the store terminal 2.
The input screen is configured to include a software numeric keypad for inputting the billing amount, a display area indicating the billing amount as an input result, and a software button for determining the billing amount (a button displayed as accounting). The
In the example of FIG. 8, “9,720 yen” is input as the billing amount.
When the software button for determining the charge amount is pressed in this state, the charge amount reception unit 81 of the store terminal 2 receives the input charge amount “9,720 yen” in step S11.
In step S12, the invoiced amount transmission control unit 82 uses the information associating the invoiced amount “9,720 yen” and the store terminal ID (for example, “store end 3”) as the amount information, and the communication unit 49 The control which transmits to the service provision server 1 via is performed.

The payment waiting information management unit 91 of the service providing server 1 acquires the amount information transmitted from the store terminal 2 in this way as payment waiting information via the communication unit 29. And the payment waiting information management part 91 manages by storing the said payment waiting information in the payment waiting information DB101.
That is, in this example, in step S31, the settlement waiting information management unit 91 creates a queue.

Here, an example of the queue will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the settlement waiting information DB 101 of the service providing server 1.
The settlement waiting information DB 101 is composed of a plurality of rows. One row shows one piece of payment information. In the example of FIG. 9, the payment information includes items of a payment number, a time, a user name, a charge amount, and a store terminal. The user name is an account name that identifies a user who uses a service provided by the service providing server 1.

FIG. 9A shows an example of the payment waiting information DB 101 including payment information (history information) for which payment has been completed.
In the state of FIG. 9A, the set of payment amount “9,720 yen” and the store terminal ID “store end 3” in the above example is acquired by the payment waiting information management unit 91 as the payment waiting information. Shall be.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, the payment waiting information management unit 91 creates a new line (the top line in the example of FIG. 9B) in the payment waiting information DB 101, and waits for payment. Information, that is, each of the charge amount “9,720 yen” and the store terminal ID “store end 3” in the above-described example is stored.

What should be noted here is that the user name is blank for the row with the newly added payment number “11113”. This means that the store terminal 2 has transmitted only the billed amount and its own store terminal ID to the service providing server 1 without obtaining any user information (user personal information) from the user or the user terminal 3. ing. At this stage, since the user name is not known, it means that payment cannot be made yet.
In other words, the line (payment information) in which the user name is blank is a target to be settled next in the store specified by the store terminal ID “store end 3”, and which user is the settlement target person. Means waiting for. Therefore, a line (payment information) in a state waiting for such a settlement is called a “queue” in this specification.

Another point that should be noted is that “store end 3” is stored in the item of the store terminal. This means that the payment waiting information DB 101 can actually handle payment information of a plurality of store terminals uniformly.
That is, in the payment waiting information DB 101, a queue to be settled next can be separately generated for each of a plurality of store terminals.

  During this time, in step S13 of FIG. 7, the beacon transmission control unit 83 of the store terminal 2 performs control so that a beacon including the store terminal ID “store 3” is transmitted from the beacon communication unit 50 within a predetermined communication area. .

And the beacon transmission screen as shown in FIG. 10 is continuously displayed on the store terminal 2 that is transmitting the beacon.
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a beacon transmission screen displayed on the store terminal 2.
The beacon transmission screen indicates that the billing amount display area, the display area indicating the information of the sales clerk in charge, and the beacon are transmitted so that the user (target person for settlement) can see the billing amount. A display area (a message area that guides the user terminal 3 to easily receive a beacon) is provided.

Here, simply, if the user who operates the user terminal 3 that first received the beacon is determined as the person to be settled, the user terminal 3 of the person who is not the purchaser of the product or the like happens to be in the predetermined communication range first. There is a possibility that a malfunction such as settlement with the person just by entering will occur.
Therefore, in this embodiment, a user who has purchased a product or the like recognizes that he / she is a payment target person and then brings the user terminal 3 closer to the store terminal 2 in FIG. An explicit operation for displaying a beacon reception screen as shown in FIG.
The process of accepting such an operation and executing the control to display the beacon reception screen as shown in FIG. 11 is hereinafter referred to as “beacon reception preparation”.

That is, as shown in FIG. 7, in step S21, the user terminal 3 executes beacon reception preparation.
Then, a beacon reception screen as shown in FIG. 11 is displayed on the user terminal 3.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a beacon reception screen displayed on the user terminal 3.
On the beacon reception screen, an image display area showing the payment method selected by the user, and an image showing a place where the beacon transmission source (store terminal 2) is brought close to (deceived) in order to appropriately receive the beacon. Display area.
Thus, in this embodiment, the user can also perform an operation of selecting a desired payment method from among a plurality of payment methods.

As shown in the lower diagram of FIG. 6 described above, the user (Uc in the example of FIG. 6) brings the user terminal 3 close to the screen of the store terminal 2 or the like in order to pay for the merchandise or the like. Then, the user terminal 3 enters the predetermined communication range of the beacon.
At this time, in step S <b> 22 of FIG. 7, the beacon reception control unit 121 of the user terminal 3 on which the beacon reception screen is displayed executes control to receive the beacon via the beacon communication unit 70.
In step S23, the user information transmission control unit 122 associates the store terminal ID “store end 3” included in the beacon with the user name “userC” of the user Uc, and performs a service via the communication unit 69. Control to be transmitted to the providing server 1 is executed. Note that the user information transmission control unit 122 may simultaneously transmit a payment method type for identifying a payment method.

In step S32, when the settlement control unit 92 of the service providing server 1 acquires a set of the store terminal ID “store end 3” and the user name “userC” of the user Uc, the settlement control unit 92 sets the store terminal ID “store end 3”. Identify the corresponding queue record.
At this time, the settlement control unit 92 supplements the record of the queue that has been left blank with the user name (“userC”).
In the example of FIG. 9, the top row (settlement information) is determined as shown in FIG.
Therefore, in step S33, the settlement control unit 92 communicates with the settlement server S to settle the payment of the billed amount “9,720 yen” to the user with the user name (“userC”). The settlement processing control is executed.
In step S <b> 34, the settlement control unit 92 sends the settlement result to the store terminal 2 and the user terminal 3 via the communication unit 29.

In step S13, the payment information reception control unit 84 of the store terminal 2 receives the payment information transmitted from the service providing server 1 via the communication unit 49, and displays a payment completion screen as shown in FIG. Control to be executed.
FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a payment completion screen displayed on the store terminal 2.
This screen is displayed after the settlement of the billed amount.

Similarly, in step S24, the payment information reception control unit 123 of the user terminal 3 receives the payment information transmitted from the service providing server 1 via the communication unit 69, and completes the payment as shown in FIG. Control to display the screen is executed.
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a payment completion screen displayed on the user terminal 3.
