[0016]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a transaction information processing system for goods and services using a two-dimensional code.

When a user who is a member is interested in a certain product while reading a printed matter in which the two-dimensional code 6 is described, for example, a product catalog 5, and wants to know details of the product, The two-dimensional code 6 described in the product catalog 5 is read by operating the scanner 4 constituting the image reading means. There are various types of products and services, such as used car sales, book sales, medical services, and dispatch of tutors, but there is no particular limitation.

The two-dimensional code 6 includes a character string indicating a URL of a homepage on which detailed information of the product is posted,
It contains end information (for example, a line feed symbol) and an order code for goods / services.
The dimensional code 6 is converted into a character code string by a decoder (not shown) and transmitted to the communication terminal 3 including a personal computer, a mobile phone having an i-mode function, and the like. The scanner 4 is connected to the communication terminal 3 by a wired method or a wireless method.

Further, a transaction member card 8 including customer information such as an ID code and a settlement account number and an encryption key is read by a card reader 7 connected to the communication terminal 3, and the communication terminal 3 uses the encryption key. When the member is authenticated, the two-dimensional code information converted into the character code and the customer information are encrypted, and the web server 1 is accessed via the communication network 2. In this way, a virtual dedicated line is formed between the communication terminal 3 and the web server 1.

When such a virtual private line is formed, a proxy server (not shown) for security may be provided between the web server 1 and the communication line 2. Will access the web server 1 via this proxy server.

Here, the encryption is performed using an encryption key and a predetermined encryption algorithm. Examples of the encryption algorithm in this case include a block-based encryption algorithm called SXAL and a multi-block-based encryption algorithm called MBAL, and “SXAL / MBAL” (ISO /
IEC9979-0012) can also be used.

Next, the basic operation of the communication terminal 3 in the transaction information processing system for goods and services using a two-dimensional code will be described with reference to FIG.

The communication terminal 3 that has received the communication data from the scanner 4 performs the operation as shown in steps 100 to 110 in FIG.

The communication terminal 3 takes out the character code string received from the scanner 4 and determines whether or not the first character of the communication address, that is, the character string "http: //" is included in the character code string. If there is a character string "http: //", it is determined whether there is a character code string indicating a terminal symbol. If there is a character code string showing a terminal symbol, it is determined whether a browser is running. Yes (over 100-100
4).

If the browser is not running, the browser is started. If the browser is already running,
Subsequently, a character string indicating the communication address and a character string indicating the order code are extracted from the character code string, the extracted character string is handed to the browser, and the customer information and the encryption key read from the transaction member card 8 are further exchanged. Hand over to the browser and start access to web server 1 (104-1
10).

In this way, the communication terminal 3 can start transmission / reception to / from the web server 1 based on the member's unique information, and thereafter obtain information specially customized for the member. become able to.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a communication procedure between the communication terminal 3 and the web server 1.

In the communication terminal 3, the browser to which the customer information or the like has been handed over is encrypted and transmitted to the web server 1 (200). Upon receiving this information, the web server 1 decrypts the encrypted customer information, checks whether or not the customer is a transaction member based on the ID code in the customer information, and generates a challenge code (random number) if the customer is a transaction member. , To the communication terminal 3 (300 to 302).

The communication terminal 3 encrypts the received challenge code with the ID code, generates a response code, and transmits it to the web server 1 (201). The web server 1 compares the data obtained by encrypting the challenge code with the ID code and the received response code, and if they match, customizes the transaction information display screen with the customer information including the ID code and communicates with the communication terminal. Is transmitted to the device 3 (304 to 305).

Communication terminal 3 that has received the transaction information display screen
Causes the browser to display this screen (202).

More specifically, the web server 1 has an ID
Prepare a product price display screen, quotation creation screen, ordering operation screen, etc. classified for each class for the member specified by the code, and link them as the lower page of the home page specified by the two-dimensional code. This may be used in the communication terminal 3.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the relationship between the home page and the lower page. In the figure, 9 is a transaction information display screen homepage indicated by a two-dimensional code, and 10a, 10b, and 10c are classified lower pages indicated by an ID code. For example, if the member is an A-class member, a page is configured so that the transaction information display screen 9 can be linked to the commodity price display screen 10a whose URL is "http: // ~ -A".

Even a general user who does not have a transaction member card can install a browser having a function of decoding a two-dimensional code in the communication terminal 3,
For example, it is possible to access only the transaction information display screen 9 that only introduces a product.

As described above, by customizing the transaction information display screen by using the contents of the two-dimensional code as the basic code and the ID code stored in the transaction member card as the branch code, the user who is a member and the general user can be used. The greatest feature of the present invention is that it is possible to differentiate a person from others and to further classify members.

Further, by encrypting and transmitting the contents of the two-dimensional code and the customer information including the ID code, a virtual private line is formed between the communication terminal 3 and the web server 1, so that When the settlement account number or the credit card member code is included in the information, the information is not intercepted and the security is secured.

In this embodiment, the encryption key is
The transaction member card 8 is read by the card reader 7 and is taken in. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
May be read. In addition, fingerprint data or retina data of the purchaser is introduced as an encryption key, and when the purchaser accesses the web server 1, the data is read by the image reading means 2 and the communication terminal 1 The data read by the reading means 2 may be collated with data registered in the communication terminal 1 in advance.

[0038]

As can be understood from the above description, the transaction information processing system according to claims 1 to 3 of the present invention has the following features.
In addition to the two-dimensional code which is the basic code, the ID code stored in the transaction member card is further added as a branch number code and transmitted to a server such as a trader. Can be easily distinguished,
The specified member can be provided with a specially customized transaction information display screen.

For a general user who does not have a transaction member card, a browser having a function of decoding a two-dimensional code can be installed in a communication terminal so that only a product introduction screen can be accessed. be able to.

From the viewpoints of management and design of the two-dimensional code and the web server, the basic code described in the two-dimensional code can be customized by adding the ID code stored in the member transaction card as a branch code. , Management and design are easier.

In particular, since a two-dimensional code indicating basic information of a product can be converted into character information that can be understood by a two-dimensional code decoding software (decoder), it is not necessary to assign a troublesome code number to a URL. Easy to manage.

On the trader side, handling of general users and specific member users for product and service information can be performed in a simple manner by sharing information.

According to the second or third aspect, when a user who is a member makes a quote or an order for a product or service using a transaction member card, a two-dimensional code or customer information is encrypted and transmitted. Since a virtual private line is formed between the terminal device and the server of the trader, eavesdropping of transaction information and prevention of unauthorized use can be easily realized.

In particular, in claim 3, since the encryption key is read by the scanner, there is no need to replace a new card to add the encryption key to enhance security, and the scanner can be read by the scanner. All that is required is to paste a dimension code or the like, saving time and effort.
