  • Publication number: 20240393420
    Abstract: Improvements in the accuracy of position measurement based on a result of distance measurement using a phase-based method or distance measurement using a communication device are disclosed. In one example, an information processing device includes determination processing that determines, based on reliability information on distance measurement or position measurement obtained by performing communication processing for distance measurement using a phase-based method with a selected communication device, whether or not reselection of a communication device to be used for position measurement is required or whether or not to perform distance measurement using a method other than the phase-based method.

  • Patent number: 11727390
    Abstract: A wallet server includes a processor with hardware. The processor is configured to acquire user information of user terminals carried by users who use a store, and configured to perform payment processing, and to generate group information when payment processing is performed by using a first user terminal. The group information is user information of the first user terminal and a second user terminal. The processor is configured to generate, from information on the payment processing and the group information, consumption information associated with each of the user terminals in a group.

  • Publication number: 20210383367
    Abstract: A processor provided with hardware is provided. The processor acquires user information of a plurality of the user terminals output from a store terminal that is provided in a store and executes payment settlement processing, generates, when a predetermined user terminal among the user terminals executes the payment settlement processing, group consumption information based on group information containing the user information of the predetermined user terminal and the user information of the other user terminals and consumption information associated with each of the user terminals contained in the group information, and generates payment information containing an allotted amount of the predetermined user terminal with respect to a target user terminal based on the group consumption information. The payment information contains information on a user ID of the predetermined user terminal, user IDs of the other user terminals, and the allotted amount.
