  • Publication number: 20220335434
    Abstract: Provided is a configuration that confirms a settlement means designated by a user who makes settlement and reliably makes the settlement involving communication with a user terminal of the user. A store terminal inputs a user utterance made by the user and designating the settlement means via a microphone, executes voice recognition processing to determine the settlement means designated by the user, and transmits the user utterance to the user terminal via a communication unit. The user terminal determines whether or not the user utterance input from the store terminal matches a registered user utterance for collation stored in a storage unit, and transmits a payment execution notification to the store terminal on the basis of determination that the user utterance matches the registered user utterance. The store terminal executes the settlement processing in response to the payment execution notification received from the user terminal.

  • Publication number: 20220300943
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a configuration that enables reliable payment processing while preventing fraudulent processing even in a case where a shop terminal does not have a function to communicate with a payment server. In a payment processing system including a shop terminal and a user terminal that perform a data write process and a data read process on a data- rewritable dynamic tag, and a payment server that performs communication with the user terminal, the shop terminal writes payment data including a settlement amount and a random number into the dynamic tag. The user terminal transmits the payment data recorded in the dynamic tag to the payment server, the payment server generates a signature and transmits the signature to the user terminal after the payment processing, and the user terminal writes the signature into the dynamic tag.

  • Patent number: 9107238
    Abstract: An information processing device that includes processing devices and a relay device. Each processing device has at least one processing function associated with a unique function information item, a function determination portion, and a device information item notification portion. The function determination portion determines whether the processing device includes a processing function that corresponds to a function information item received from the relay device. If the processing device has the processing function, the device information item notification portion transmits a device information item to the relay device. The relay device includes a storage portion that stores the device information items, a function information item transmission portion, and a device information item recording portion.

  • Patent number: 8553717
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a transmission portion that transmits repeatedly, at a specified time interval, one combination packet that is created such that it includes, within a packet that is compatible with one format, a packet that is compatible with another format. It is therefore possible for the information processing device to perform non-contact communication in a plurality of formats without repeatedly transmitting in succession a plurality of copies of the same packet, each copy being compatible with a different format.
