Abstract: A portable terminal, a terminal function management system, and a terminal function management method that can prevent electronic money fraud by another person after loss or theft and readily and accurately determine the electronic money balance to be guaranteed are provided. In a portable terminal, a lock function that imposes restrictions on access to a chip storage unit that stores a value balance is enabled. It is thereby possible to prevent electronic money fraud by another person after the loss or theft of the portable terminal. Further, in the portable terminal, a value balance acquired after the lock function is enabled and before the lock function is released is stored in an electronic money server. It is thereby possible to readily and accurately determine the electronic money balance to be guaranteed which is stored the chip storage unit at the time when the loss or theft is found.

Abstract: A mobile terminal inputs a sound effect output from a communication device through a microphone in response to completion of access to an IC module, and determines whether a sound pattern of the input sound effect indicates a preset sound pattern. When it is determined that the sound pattern of the input sound effect indicates the preset sound pattern, the mobile terminal displays provision information on a location where the communication device exists, on the display device that is display-controlled by the mobile terminal.

Abstract: Example embodiments enable a server-side value stored in an electronic money server to be transmitted automatically to a mobile terminal prior to payment. This enables payments when a payment terminal only processes payments based on the terminal-side value balance. An asynchronous payment terminal emits ultrasonic waves indicating that the payment terminal is not compatible with payment processes on the basis of a server-side balance. If the mobile terminal determines that the volume of the detected ultrasonic waves corresponds to a received ultrasonic wave pattern that appears while the mobile terminal is near the ultrasonic wave emission source, the mobile terminal transmits a value shift request to an electronic money server that then subtracts a predetermined amount from the server-side value balance, and transmits amount change information which increases the terminal-side value balance by that predetermined amount. An IC module then updates (increases) the terminal-side value balance.

Abstract: A mobile terminal inputs a sound effect output from a communication device through a microphone in response to completion of access to an IC module, and determines whether a sound pattern of the input sound effect indicates a preset sound pattern. When it is determined that the sound pattern of the input sound effect indicates the preset sound pattern, the mobile terminal transmits specific information to a specific destination.

Abstract: A determination is made as to whether an event corresponding to log data not yet managed by an electronic money server 4 is present based on log data managed by the electronic money server 4 and log data acquired from an electronic money card 1, and when it is determined that the event is present, a processing assuming the presence of the event is performed.

Abstract: Additional information designated by a user is provisionally registered as information relating to a specific event until sales billing information relating to the specific event becomes presentable to the user. Then, after the sales billing information is acquired, an information management server 2 registers the sales billing information and the additional information that is provisionally registered in association with the sales billing information, to be presentable to the user, in association with each other.

Abstract: In order to enable a server-side value stored in an electronic money server to be transmitted automatically to a mobile terminal prior to payment and thus to enable payments on the basis of the terminal-side value balance when a payment terminal only has a function whereby payments are made on the basis of the terminal-side value balance, an asynchronous payment terminal emits ultrasonic waves from an ultrasonic wave emission source, indicating that the payment terminal is not compatible with payment processes on the basis of a server-side balance. When the ultrasonic waves are detected a mobile terminal determines that a payment on the basis of the server-side value balance is not possible, and determines whether the volume of the ultrasonic waves corresponds to a received ultrasonic wave pattern that appears when the mobile terminal is near the ultrasonic wave emission source.

Abstract: The objective is to allow a portable terminal to access a contactless type IC module with a timing that is resistant to receiving effects of other processing and that is unlikely to impart effects to other processing. An asynchronous payment terminal plays a sound effect indicating settlement completion or settlement failure from a speaker, which is detected by a microphone of a mobile terminal. An electronic money application determines whether the sound effect detected by the microphone is a sound effect produced when payment is completed or a sound effect produced when payment is impossible. The electronic money application makes this determination by comparing the sound effect with a sound pattern stored in a storing section of the mobile terminal. If the sound effect is the sound effect for the case of settlement completion, a charge is performed under fixed conditions.
