  • Patent number: 9811254
    Abstract: A transaction terminal device includes an orientation detecting unit that detects the orientation of an information processing device with respect to the orientation of gravity, and an information processing unit that displays a work screen of work categories on a display unit based on display attributes for changing of the orientation of the information processing device configured for each of the work categories. When the display attributes are permitted for rotating the work screen based on the changing of the orientation of the information processing device, the information processing unit displays the respective elements constituting the work screen in the position/orientation based on the detected result by the orientation detecting unit.

  • Patent number: 9773131
    Abstract: An information processing device includes a non-secure information processor and a secure information processor that are each accommodated in a housing. A first input display and a second input display are each provided on an operational surface of the housing. A boundary is between a first end side of the housing and a second end side of the housing, with the second end side of the housing being opposite to the first end side of the housing across the first input display and the second input display. A color or a surface treatment of a first portion of the first end side of the housing corresponding to the non-secure information processor is distinguishable from a color or a surface treatment of a second portion of the second end side of the housing corresponding to the secure information processor.

  • Patent number: 9760739
    Abstract: A non-secure display area and a secure display area are set on a screen of a display section of a touch panel TP. A non-secure input area and a secure input area are set on a detection surface of a touch input detector of the touch panel TP. In settlement processing, in a display area where the non-secure display area and the secure display area are overlapped, amount information is displayed. A message for urging authentication information input and a PIN pad are displayed in the secure display area. An operator can safely input PIN information to secure the input area through the PIN pad displayed in the secure display area. Even when the secure portion and the non-secure portion are present together, the settlement terminal device can secure the security of input authentication information or the like to suppress the operator's mistake or incorrect operation.

  • Patent number: 9728162
    Abstract: When settlement terminal device performs a settlement process with a settlement destination device (for example, an acquirer or a settlement processor), settlement terminal device displays a screen regarding the settlement process on display unit of touch panel and detects an input operation of important key input reception icon displayed on display unit. CPU determines whether an input operation with respect to this important key input reception icon, that is, an operation for selecting important key input reception icon and dragging and dropping important key input reception icon to YES icon has been performed. When a drag and drop operation of important key input reception icon is detected, CPU executes content of the input operation with respect to important key input reception icon, and transmits a settlement processing request to the settlement destination device. Settlement terminal device facilitates the operator being conscious of an operation with respect to a specific target.

  • Publication number: 20170046685
    Abstract: A transaction processing apparatus sends to a transaction communication terminal an obtaining request for a screen that includes the input settlement information and prompts input of the settlement information corresponding to the subsequent input process. The transaction communication terminal receives the screen corresponding to the obtaining request from a settlement-side apparatus and sends the screen to the transaction processing apparatus, which prompts input of the settlement information on the screen. The transaction processing apparatus sends to the transaction communication terminal a settlement process request that includes the settlement information input in the last input process. The transaction communication terminal sends the settlement process request to the settlement-side apparatus and sends to the transaction processing apparatus a settlement completion notification that is sent from the settlement-side apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20150262175
    Abstract: In the payment process of a transaction, it is possible to ensure security of information regarding the payment process, and perform a suitable payment process. When mutual authentication is established, a secure input application and a command interpreter form a secure virtual private communication path (VPN). Transmission of payment-related information such as encrypted PIN information is started through the VPN. The command interpreter and a payment center form a secure virtual private communication path (VPN). Transmission of payment-related information is started through the VPN. When transmission using the VPNs and is normal, a secure input manager and a terminal UI payment application perform a card payment process in which the command interpreter is relayed.
