20150324763 | MOBILE TERMINAL, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MOBILE TERMINAL, PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - The object of the present invention is to shorten time from when a predetermined condition is satisfied till when recharging is completed. A mobile terminal directly requests an electronic money server to perform recharging. In response to this, the electronic money server secures funds and then generates a command group for recharging. Then, the electronic money server sends, to the mobile terminal, a storage instruction by which the mobile terminal is made to store the generated command group in an IC chip. The mobile terminal then does not immediately execute the command group but temporality stores the command group into a general-purpose IC chip. In this way, a stage of preparation for recharging is completed. Then, under a certain condition (for example, by user's operation, on the side of the general-purpose IC chip, the stored command group is executed. In this way, recharging is performed, and the value balance is updated. | 11-12-2015 |
20150302371 | INFORMATION DELIVERY DEVICE, INFORMATION DELIVERY METHOD, PROGRAM PRODUCT, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - An object is to provide information more suited to the needs of the user by appropriately controlling timing with which information is provided to the user and the contents of the information. An electronic money server receives log data, identifies a store ID by searching a payment terminal DB by using a payment terminal ID of the log data as a key, checks a breakdown data providing store flag of a store DB (B) by using the store ID as a key, and, if a store is not a store providing the breakdown data, identifies the location of the store by searching a store DB (A) by using the store ID as a key.

20150206105 | INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM PRODUCT - An object is to provide a mechanism for giving an instruction to transfer value by an operation which is close to exchange of cash in terms of sense. A portable terminal incorporates a general-purpose IC chip storing a terminal-side value balance and can connect to an electronic money server via the Internet. In the electronic money server, a server-side value balance corresponding to the portable terminal is stored. The electronic money server and the portable terminal operate in cooperation with each other, and value can be transferred between the terminal-side value balance and the server-side value balance. The portable terminal displays a value transfer screen by a user interface and can accept the amount of value to be transferred and the direction of transfer from the value transfer screen by a user's touch operation. | 07-23-2015 |
20150186853 | PAYMENT TERMINAL, INFORMATION PROCESSING SERVER, PAYMENT TERMINAL CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT - The purpose of this server-managed electronic money system is to free the user from procedures required to use electronic money, allowing the electronic money to be used in approximately as short a time as stored-value electronic money systems. A portable terminal internally stores a mirror value of the server-side value balance, and an electronic money server stores the server-side value balance. When making a payment, a payment terminal either subtracts the payment amount from the mirror value, or, by referring to the mirror value, allows the user to complete the payment. By doing so, it is possible to complete payments as quickly as with stored-value electronic money. Later, an online request is made to the electronic money server to reduce (update) the server-side value balance. | 07-02-2015 |
