  • Patent number: 12627559
    Abstract: A processor acquires a current change request of a network virtualization environment, and automatically rejects the current change request if a determination criterion that satisfies a value of a comparison item in the current change request is not detected in a determination criterion management database. If the determination criterion that satisfies the value of the comparison item is detected, the processor searches for a past change record that satisfies the determination criterion (execution result of the past change of the same type). If the execution result of the past change is not detected, the processor automatically rejects the current change request. If the execution result of the past change is detected, the processor automatically approves the current change request when a predetermined condition related to the execution result of the past change is satisfied, but automatically rejects the current change request when the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20210365926
    Abstract: A settlement system performs on-line settlement and off-line settlement by switching between them, while reducing risk to the business side and not causing a user making payment to be aware of the switching. A terminal device includes selection means for comparing a payment amount with a set amount read from a recording medium and for selecting between off-line processing and on-line processing, depending on a result of the comparison, off-line processing means for performing a process of subtracting the payment amount from the set amount recorded in the recording medium and a process of sending the payment amount to a server device; and on-line processing means for performing a process of sending the payment amount to the server device and a process of updating the set amount when having received an update value.

  • Patent number: 10050979
    Abstract: The validity/invalidity of a credit card, an IC card storing electronic money, or the like is appropriately determined based on a blacklist. A terminal device includes a list storage means and an invalidity recording means. The list storage means stores an identifier, validity information indicating validity or invalidity, and a blacklist that relates the identifier to an invalidity count specification value for a recording medium storing a set value. The invalidity recording means reads from the blacklist, the invalidity count specification value related to the identifier read from the recording medium, and compares the invalidity count specification value with the set value read from the recording medium. The invalidity recording means executes predetermined processing based on the validity information for the recording medium when the set value is equal to the invalidity count specification value.

  • Patent number: 10032158
    Abstract: A settlement system includes a server device and a terminal device. The terminal device is configured to compare a payment amount with a set amount stored in a recording medium; if the payment amount is equal to or less than the set amount, perform an off-line process; and if the payment amount is larger than the set amount, perform an on-line process. In the off-line process, the terminal device rewrites the set amount stored in the recording medium by subtracting the payment amount from the set amount; and sends the payment amount to the server device for further processing. In the on-line process, the terminal device sends the payment amount to the server device; determines whether an update value is received from the server device; and when the update value is received, rewrites the set amount stored in the recording medium to be the update value.

  • Publication number: 20160210619
    Abstract: A blacklist updating technique capable of efficiently preventing illegal use is provided. A terminal device includes a list storage means for storing a blacklist including invalidated identifiers, a processing means for checking, when an amount of money and the identifier are inputted, whether the input identifier is included in the blacklist in the list storage means and, when not included, executing a predetermined process using the amount of money and accumulating a predetermined value to obtain a cumulative value, and a list updating means for receiving update data from a server device to update the blacklist in the list storage means when the cumulative value is larger than a predetermined threshold.

  • Publication number: 20160210625
    Abstract: A terminal device for making it easy to reuse an IC card 3 on which validity information indicating invalid has been written by being once invalidated is provided. The terminal device includes a list storage means and a recording means. The list storage means stores a whitelist associating an invalid count identifying value of a recording medium that stores an identifier, validity information indicating valid or invalid, and a setting value with the identifier. The recording means reads out, from the whitelist, the invalid count identifying value corresponding to the identifier read out from the recording medium, compares the invalid count identifying value with the setting value read out from the recording medium, and executes a validation process that stores the validity information indicating valid on the recording medium and a predetermined process when the setting value is equal to the invalid count identifying value.

  • Patent number: 7584247
    Abstract: A system for supporting construction of a server having a plurality of constraints determined depending on an application area of the server is disclosed. A service method definition section defines a value of each of the plurality of constraints by defining a value of each of a group of constraints to thereby determine a value of each of the other group of constraints which are related to at least one constraint of the group of constraints. A program generator generates a server construction program using the defined constraints. The server operates according to the server construction program received from the system. A simultaneous multiple-access processing server used by the interactive program, WEB shopping, and the like can be easily constructed.
