Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In the description of the present embodiment, when a non-contact IC card (hereinafter referred to as an IC card), which is a kind of electronic media, is detected, the communication unit 3 transmits a request signal for IC card identification information, and the IC card 5 Receiving IC card identification information.

<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of information communication according to the present embodiment.
The information communication device 1 has, for example, a non-contact reader / writer function and performs information communication with a non-contact IC tag in a non-contact manner, and includes a control unit 2, a communication unit 3, and a display unit 4. . In this embodiment, the information communication apparatus 1 has a non-contact type reader / writer function, but may have a contact type reader / writer function.

The control unit 2 controls each function of the information communication apparatus 1, and includes an identification information request unit 21, an identification information reception unit 22, a settlement processing unit 23, and a processing result transmission unit 24.
For example, the identification information request unit 21 transmits an IC card identification information request via the communication unit 3 by a polling method. In the present embodiment example, the identification information requesting unit 21 includes a first identification information requesting unit 21_1 and a second identification information requesting unit 21_2. The first identification information request unit 21_1 performs card detection for starting the process (for example, step S120 described later), while the second identification information request unit 21_2 detects that the payment process has been completed. Then, card detection is performed as a confirmation process before the processing result is written in the IC card 5 (for example, step S210 described later).

  The settlement processing unit 23 performs settlement processing based on the IC card identification information received from the IC card 5. For example, in the case of payment processing using electronic money, the balance information and the like are read from the IC card 5 via the communication unit 3, the usage amount is subtracted, and the subtraction result is calculated. Further, assuming that the identification information is a credit card number, settlement processing corresponding to this number may be performed. For example, an identification uniquely stored in the IC chip such as IDm in FeliCa (registered trademark) Information may be used. Further, the payment processing unit 23 may be configured to perform payment processing by communicating with an external payment server (not shown) or the like.

The processing result transmission unit 24 transmits the processing result data calculated by the settlement processing unit 23 to the IC card 5 via the communication unit 3 and writes it.
The communication unit 3 performs data transmission from the information communication device 1 and data reception from an external medium such as the IC card 5 by wireless communication.

  The display unit 4 is a display for displaying an error message such as “Please hold the card again” or “The card is wrong”. In the present embodiment, the communication abnormality warning unit has the display unit 4 and an error message is displayed on the display unit 4 at the time of communication abnormality. However, the communication abnormality warning unit may be, for example, a speaker that emits a warning sound. A flasher that emits light may be used.

The IC card 5 has an IC chip having a CPU, a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory) and the like, and is a non-contact IC card capable of non-contact wireless communication. In this embodiment, the IC card 5 stores IC card identification information, which is unique identification information, and balance information of electronic money.
In this embodiment, the electronic media that communicates with the information communication apparatus 1 is the IC card 5. However, a non-contact IC chip such as a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and other dedicated communication terminals is used. Any non-contact IC media may be used, and it is not necessary to be an IC card.

Here, the IC card 5 has so-called keyless information and keyed information. The keyless information is identification information unique to the card, etc., and is information for performing communication without encryption. That is, the IC card identification information can be read at high speed because information communication can be performed without performing encryption and decryption processes. On the other hand, the keyed information is security area information such as money amount information, and is information that needs to be encrypted. That is, when communicating information with a key, encryption and decryption processes are required, and therefore it takes time compared to communication with information without a key.
That is, in information communication with a non-contact IC card, each processing time for card detection, data reading, data writing, and data calculation is generally “card detection processing time <data reading processing time <data writing processing time <data calculation processing”. The relationship is “time”.

Next, an operation example in which the information communication apparatus 1 according to the present invention performs information communication with the IC card 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the user activates the information communication device 1. Then, the 1st identification information request | requirement part 21_1 transmits the request | requirement of IC card identification information via the communication part 3 (step S100, step S110, step S120_1). The communication unit 3 continues to transmit a request for identification information until the IC card identification information is received (steps S120_2 to S120_N).

  When the IC card 5 receives the IC card identification information request sent by the communication unit 3 in the vicinity of the information communication device 1, the IC card 5 sends the IC card identification information (step S130). The communication unit 3 receives the IC card identification information transmitted from the IC card 5 and transmits it to the identification information receiving unit 22 (step S140). When the identification information receiving unit 22 receives the IC card identification information, the control unit 2 stores, for example, a list of valid IC card identification information in advance, and searches the list for information that matches the IC card identification information. If it is detected, the authentication is successful, and if it is not detected, the authentication is failed. In the case of authentication failure, for example, the control unit 2 may display a message such as “Invalid IC card” on the display unit 4 and stop the processing.

  Alternatively, the information communication device 1 stores a correspondence table in which the identification information and the expiration date are associated in advance, and the control unit 2 refers to the expiration date based on the IC card identification information and the current date. If the current date is past the expiration date, the process may be stopped. If the received identification information is a credit card number, the identification information is transmitted to an external settlement server (not shown) via the network to determine whether the credit card number is valid. It is good also as composition to do.

  The control unit 2 transmits a request for IC card attribute information via the communication unit 3 (steps S150 and S160). When receiving the request for the IC card attribute information, the IC card 5 transmits, for example, the balance information of the electronic money stored in the IC card 5 to the communication unit 3 (step S170). The communication unit 3 transfers the balance information to the control unit 2 (step S180).

When the control unit 2 receives the balance information, the settlement processing unit 23 performs a settlement process. That is, the charge is subtracted from the balance information to calculate the subtraction result information (step S200).
Then, when detecting that the subtraction process has been completed, the second identification information requesting unit 21_2 transmits a request for IC card identification information via the communication unit 3 (steps S210 and S220). That is, the detection process of the IC card 5 is performed after the subtraction process and before writing data to the IC card 5. When the IC card 5 receives the request for the IC card identification information, the IC card 5 transmits the IC card identification information (step S230). And the identification information receiving part 22 receives IC card identification information via the communication part 3 (step S240). That is, if the IC card identification information can be received, it can be confirmed that the IC card is not separated from the information communication apparatus 1 during the settlement process.

Then, the processing result transmission unit 24 writes the subtraction result information to the IC card 5 via the communication unit 3 (Steps S250 and S260). The IC card 5 updates the balance information stored in the storage unit of the IC card 5 with the received subtraction result information.
When the update of the balance information is completed, the IC card 5 transmits information for notifying the completion of writing to the communication unit 3 (steps S270 and S280). The communication unit 3 transfers the received write completion notification information to the control unit 2.

  Upon receiving the write completion notification information, the communication unit 3 starts a write confirmation process (step S300). And the control part 2 transmits a balance information request | requirement to the IC card 5 via the communication part 3 (step S310, step S320). When receiving the balance information request, the IC card 5 transmits the balance information to the information communication device 1 (step S330). Then, the communication unit 3 receives the balance information and transfers it to the control unit 2 (step S340). The control unit 2 determines whether or not the received balance information matches the subtraction result information (step S400). If it is determined that the values match, the settlement process is completed (step S500).

  The operation example according to the present embodiment has been described above. Here, the card detection processing performed in step S120_1 and step S220 only receives card-specific identification information from the IC card 5, and does not acquire information stored in other IC cards 5. Such card-specific identification information is also called keyless information because it does not need to be encrypted at the time of communication. That is, since processing of encryption and decryption is not required at the time of information communication, high-speed communication is possible. It can be performed.

  On the other hand, in the card attribute information reading process performed in step S160 and step S320, the security area information such as the money amount information is read, so encryption is necessary. Such information is referred to as keyed information, and processing is more time-consuming than communication of keyed information because encryption / decryption is performed during communication. In addition, the data writing process in step S260 also takes a long processing time because the keyed information is handled.

  Conventionally, it is common that the control unit 2 receives the card information in step S180 and writes the subtraction result to the IC card 5 immediately after performing the settlement process in step S200. However, calculation processing such as settlement processing may take a long time. During this time, the IC card 5 is separated from the information communication device 1, and information is normally written to the IC card 5. There was no case.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, since the IC card 5 detection process is performed from step S210 to step S240 after the settlement process is performed in step S200, whether or not the card is held during the settlement process is determined. Can be detected, and payment processing using a non-contact IC card can be performed more safely and reliably. Further, since the additional necessary processing is processing for communicating keyless information, the processing time as a whole does not change significantly.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, information communication using the information communication apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The information communication apparatus according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and the description of the same configuration and processing is omitted. Only the configuration and processing unique to the second embodiment will be described below.

In 2nd Embodiment, the identification information request | requirement part 21 with which the information communication apparatus 1 is provided assumes that it is a single structure. That is, the identification information requesting unit 21 is a single processing unit without the first identification information requesting unit 21_1 and the second identification information requesting unit 21_2, and the settlement processing unit 23 and the processing result transmission unit 24 are identified. The information request unit 21 is controlled.
The settlement processing unit 23 controls the operation of the identification information requesting unit 21.
Further, before transmitting the processing result data, the processing result transmitting unit 24 operates the identification information requesting unit 21 to detect the IC card 5 (for example, step 210), and if detected, transmits the processing result data. If not, do not send.

Hereinafter, an operation example of the information communication apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment will be described.
First, the user activates the information communication device 1. Then, the settlement processing unit 23 starts a reception waiting state (step S100). That is, the settlement processing unit 23 operates the identification information request unit. The identification information request unit 21 transmits a request for IC card identification information via the communication unit 3 (steps S110 and S120_1).

  When the settlement process is completed in step S200, the processing result transmission unit 24 operates the identification information request unit 21. The identification information request unit 21 transmits a request for IC card identification information via the communication unit 3 (steps S210 and S220). That is, after the settlement process, before the data is written to the IC card 5, the detection process of the IC card 5 is performed. Hereinafter, the information communication apparatus 1 performs the same processing operation as in the first embodiment.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the IC card 5 is detected by the settlement processing unit 23 and the processing result transmitting unit 24 controlling the operation of the identification information requesting unit 21. That is, also in this embodiment, the information communication apparatus 1 performs card detection a plurality of times as in the first embodiment, but may be configured not to include a plurality of identification information request units.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, an example of operation when the IC card 5 is separated from the information communication apparatus 1 during the settlement process will be described with reference to FIGS.
The control unit 2 starts operation (step S100), performs processing in the same procedure as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and the IC card 5 transmits balance information to the communication unit 3 (step S170). . In this embodiment, an example of operation when the IC card 5 is separated from the information communication apparatus 1 and cannot communicate with the IC card 5 after step S170 will be described.

  After the control unit 2 performs the settlement process (step S200), an IC card identification information request is transmitted to the IC card 5 via the communication unit 3 in the same procedure as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment ( Step S210). The communication unit 3 transmits an IC card identification information request to the IC card 5. At this time, the communication unit 3 repeats the request until the IC card identification information is received from the IC card 5. If the communication unit 3 does not receive the IC card identification information from the IC card 5 for a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time, the communication unit 3 starts time-out processing (step S221). That is, the communication unit 3 starts the timeout process on the assumption that the IC card 5 is separated from the information communication device 1.

The communication unit 3 transmits card detection abnormality information to the control unit 2. Then, the display unit 4 displays a message such as “Please hold the card again”. That is, the user is warned of an error. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the IC card 5 is again brought close to the information communication apparatus 1 in response to the error warning.
Then, in the first embodiment, the second identification information request unit 21_2 restarts the transmission of the IC card identification information request in the second embodiment (step S224). Here, the information communication apparatus 1 may be provided with a read restart button, and the transmission of the IC card identification information request may be restarted by pressing this button.

  In the first embodiment, the second identification information request unit 21_2, and in the second embodiment, the processing result transmission unit 24 transmits an IC card identification information request via the communication unit 3 (step S225, step S225). S226). When receiving the IC card identification information request, the IC card 5 transmits the IC card identification information to the communication unit 3 (step S227). The communication unit 3 transfers the IC card identification information to the control unit 2 (step S227).

  When receiving the IC card identification information, the control unit 2 determines whether or not the IC card identification information received in step S228 matches the IC card identification information received in step S140 (step S229). Here, if the control unit 2 determines that they do not match, the display unit 4 displays a message such as “error: wrong card”, and stops the processing. On the other hand, if it determines with the control part 2 being in agreement (step S231), the payment process calculation result in step S200 will be transmitted to the IC card 5 via the communication part 3 (step S250). At this time, the card detection may be performed again between step S231 and step S250. Thereafter, from step S260 to step S500, processing similar to that in the first embodiment or the second embodiment is performed.

  As described above, conventionally, when the card is released during the settlement process, the information between the information communication device 1 and the IC card 5 may not be synchronized and a fatal error may occur. However, according to the present embodiment, If the card is released during the long processing time, it is detected, and the user is warned as an error, and the user is prompted to hold the card again, so that safer information communication can be performed.

<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, with reference to FIG. 5, an operation example for detecting that the IC card has been replaced while reading the IC card will be described.
The control unit 2 starts operation (step S100), performs processing in the same procedure as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and the communication unit 3 transmits IC card identification information to the control unit 2 in step S240. To do. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the IC card 5 is replaced and another IC card is held between step S170 and step S220.

  Upon receiving the IC card identification information, the control unit 2 determines whether or not the IC card identification information received in step S240 matches the IC card identification information received in step S140 (step S241). If the control unit 2 determines that they do not match, the display unit 4 displays a message such as “Please hold the first card” (step S242). That is, the user is warned that the card is different, and the control unit 2 does not complete the settlement process until the IC card 5 is read again. Thereafter, the same processing as in steps S224 to S500 in the third embodiment is performed. Here, when processing is normally completed, a message such as “processing completed normally” may be displayed on the display unit 4.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, even when an IC card is replaced during communication, this can be detected and a warning can be given to the user. Further, since the non-contact IC card is performed by wireless communication, for example, when holding a wallet or the like containing a plurality of IC cards, the identification information of the IC cards may be confused. Even in such a case, according to the present embodiment, an error can be detected.

<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, with reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, an operation example at the time of an IC card 5 reading error according to the present embodiment will be described.
The control unit 2 starts the operation (step S100) and performs processing in the same procedure as in the first embodiment or the second embodiment. In step S <b> 270, the IC card 5 transmits information notifying completion of writing balance information to the communication unit 3. In this embodiment, an example of operation when the IC card 5 is separated from the information communication apparatus 1 and cannot be read after step S270 will be described.

  The control unit 2 transmits a balance information request to the IC card 5 via the communication unit 3 (steps S310 and S320). At this time, the communication unit 3 repeats the request until the communication unit 3 receives balance information from the IC card 5. If the balance information is not received from the IC card 5 beyond a predetermined number of times or for a predetermined time, the communication unit 3 starts a timeout process (step S321). That is, the communication unit 3 starts the timeout process on the assumption that the IC card 5 is separated from the information communication device 1.

The communication unit 3 transmits card information acquisition abnormality information to the control unit 2. Then, the display unit 4 displays a message such as “Please hold the card again” (step S323). That is, the user is warned of an error. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the IC card 5 is again brought close to the information communication apparatus 1 in response to the error warning.
After a certain period of time, the second identification information request unit 21_2 in the first embodiment resumes the transmission of the IC card identification information request in the second embodiment and the processing result transmission unit 24 in the second embodiment. To do. The subsequent processing is the same as in the third embodiment (from step S224 to step S500 in FIG. 4). Here, when processing is normally completed, a message such as “processing completed normally” may be displayed on the display unit 4.
Thus, even when the card is separated from the information communication apparatus 1 after the card is written, an error is detected and a warning is given, so that information communication can be performed more safely and reliably.

  In addition, information communication is performed by recording a program for realizing the function of the processing unit in the present invention on a computer-readable recording medium, causing the computer system to read and execute the program recorded on the recording medium. May be. Here, the “computer system” includes an OS and hardware such as peripheral devices. The “computer system” includes a WWW system having a homepage providing environment (or display environment). The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a storage device such as a flexible medium, a magneto-optical disk, a portable medium such as a ROM and a CD-ROM, and a hard disk incorporated in a computer system. Further, the “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a volatile memory (RAM) in a computer system that becomes a server or a client when a program is transmitted via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line.
