Abstract: A method and portable apparatus for settling a transaction are provided, in which the portable apparatus may be used as a card substitute payment device for settling a transaction. Information to conduct a settlement may be stored in the portable apparatus. The portable apparatus may be, for example, a portable phone or a PDA. A transaction inquiry machine may read or receive the information from the portable apparatus, similar to that of a card reader reading a magnetic card, and transmit the information to a VAN company server or a card company server, to then request for an approval to settle the transaction.

The card inquiry machine recognizes the received card information in the same manner as that of the card reader reading a magnetic card, and transmits the card information to a VAN company server or a card company server, to then request for an approval and settle transactions.

Abstract: Provided is a method of and system for settling signatureless payment of a slip of bank card sales in a mobile terminal such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant, and a smart phone, having a mobile IC (Integrated Circuit) chip card, to then be printed on a transaction approval sales slip, to thereby make personal authentication completed and prevent the sales slip from being forged or fabricated, without signing on a customer's autographical signature of the sales slip. The signatureless payment settlement system has an algorithm for producing a personal authentication value in an IC chip card mounted on the mobile terminal including the cellular phone or PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and receives a card issuing company key, card issuing information, a card password, an IC chip card produced random number to produce a personal authentication value.

Abstract: A user interfacing method of financial settlement using a mobile enables a user to select one among a number of financial settlement cards contained in the mobile unit as a default card, and to perform an immediate settlement as the selected default card. When a menu is displayed on a settlement display screen, cards are classified by places of uses. A soft key is provided to easily achieve a menu shift. Communications are performed between the mobile unit (MU) and the base unit (BU) of the card terminal, by pressing an external key provided on an appropriate outer portion of the MU one time. Thus, the BU transmits an identifier includes information about a card to be used for settlement according to each use and whether or not a password is required, and the MU transmits necessary settlement information based on the received identifier to thereby perform a settlement.
