(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an ordering apparatus 1 in the present embodiment.
The ordering apparatus 1 includes a card mounting unit 100, a card reader unit 101, a product information storage unit 102, a mounting determination unit 103, a payment check unit 104, a display unit 105, an order reception unit 106, an order information storage unit 107, and a settlement processing unit 108. Is provided.

  A payment card 50 is mounted on the card mounting unit 100. The settlement card 50 is a card used for payment. The settlement card 50 is, for example, a credit card, a David card, an electronic money card, or the like. Credit cards, David cards, etc. usually have card identification information such as card numbers. It also has information on the type of card, information on the expiration date of the card, and the like. The electronic money card may be, for example, an IC card type in which a value corresponding to the amount is stored in an IC chip in the card, and money is transferred by transferring this value. Further, a server type in which a card ID or the like is stored in an IC chip in the card, and money is exchanged by transmitting the card ID or the like to a server or the like may be used. The card mounting unit 100 is, for example, a card slot provided with a card insertion slot into which the settlement card 50 is inserted. In this case, attachment of the payment card 50 may be considered as insertion of the payment card 50 into the card slot. Note that the information stored in the settlement card 50 is referred to herein as card information.

  In the present embodiment, the case where the payment card 50 is a card in which a value corresponding to money is not stored in the payment card 50, such as a credit card or a David card, will be described as an example. To do. When such a payment card 50 is used, since payment processing is normally performed on the server side by communication with a payment server, such a payment card 50 can be considered as a server-type payment card. good.

  The card reader unit 101 reads card information that is information stored in the settlement card 50. For example, the card reader unit 101 reads card information from the payment card 50 that is attached. The card reader unit 101 is, for example, a magnetic card reader that reads information from the payment card 50 that is a magnetic card, an IC card reader that reads information from the payment card 50 that is an IC card, or the like. Since the configuration of the card reader unit 101 is a known technique, the description thereof is omitted here. In the case of an IC card or the like, a card reader / writer means may be used instead of the card reader unit 101.

  The product information storage unit 102 stores information on one or more products (hereinafter referred to as product information). The product information is, for example, information having a product name, a product image, text information describing the product, a product price, a product ID, and the like. Here, the product may be considered to include a service. The merchandise information stored in the merchandise information storage unit 102 is preferably information on merchandise handled at a store or the like where the ordering apparatus 1 is installed. In the product information storage unit 102, for example, product information in which information related to products is laid out and arranged may be stored. For example, the product information may be display information provided in an HTML file, an image file, an electronic document file, or the like in which information on one or more products is arranged. In addition, the product information may be information in which information on one or more products for displaying an order screen described later is arranged, for example. As a specific example, the product information may be information for displaying an order screen of a restaurant where information on one or more products is arranged.

  In the product information storage unit 102, product information may be stored in advance, or product information transmitted from another device may be temporarily stored when an order screen described later is displayed. The storage described here may be considered as temporary storage. The product information storage unit 102 is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium.

  The attachment determination unit 103 determines whether or not the payment card 50 is attached to the card attachment unit 100. The attachment determination unit 103 may further determine removal of the payment card 50. The attachment determination unit 103 may determine how to attach / detach the settlement card 50 to / from the card attachment unit 100. For example, whether or not a card is inserted by turning on / off the switch by providing a switch or the like that changes its state by a physical force when the payment card 50 is mounted on the card mounting unit 100. You may judge. Alternatively, a sensor such as a proximity sensor may be provided in the card mounting unit 100, and the presence or absence of a mounted card may be detected by this sensor. Further, the card reader unit 101 is used to repeatedly read information from the payment card 50 at a predetermined or indefinite timing specified in advance, and when the information can be read, it is determined that the card is loaded. If the card cannot be read, it may be determined that the card is not loaded. Further, when it is detected that the card is not attached after the card is inserted, it may be determined that the card has been removed. For example, when it is determined that a card is attached, the attachment determination unit 103 outputs information indicating that the card is attached. In addition, when it is determined that the inserted card is removed, the attachment determination unit 103 outputs information indicating that the card has been removed.

  The attachment determination unit 103 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the mounting determination unit 103 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  The payment check unit 104 performs a payment check on the payment card 50 when the attachment determination unit 103 determines that the payment card 50 is installed. For example, a check result is output. The payment check is a check as to whether or not the payment card 50 is a payable card. That is, it is a check as to whether or not the card can be used for payment of a price for a product or the like. The payment check may be a check as to whether or not the settlement card 50 is a valid card. When the payment card 50 is a credit card or a David card as in the present embodiment, the payment check is, for example, a credit check. Credit check is also called credit processing. The credit check is, for example, a check of whether or not there is a credit balance (a balance that can be used by the user) for the attached payment card 50, and whether or not the payment card 50 is a currently valid payment card. Such as checking. The credit check may be considered as an authorization process for the so-called payment card 50. For example, the payment check unit 104 performs a credit check as a payment check when the mounting determination unit 103 outputs information indicating that the payment card 50 is mounted. Here, as described above, the payment card 50 that is checked by the payment check unit 104 is a server-type payment card such as a credit card, and the payment check is a credit check. I will give you a description.

  The credit check process by the payment check unit 104 is performed as follows, for example. For example, the payment check unit 104 uses the card reader unit 101 to transfer credit information such as a card ID such as a card number, card type information, and expiration date information from the payment card 50 mounted on the card mounting unit 100. Read information used. Then, the information used for the read credit is transmitted to a server device (not shown) designated in advance from a transmission means (not shown) included in the payment check unit 104. This server device is, for example, a server device that performs payment using the attached payment card 50. Alternatively, it may be a server device for credit processing. And the information which shows the result of the credit check transmitted from a server apparatus is received by the receiving part etc. which are not shown in the payment check part 104. And the information which shows the received result is output to the display part 105 grade | etc., As information which shows the result of the payment check about the mounted | worn card.

  The payment check unit 104 also determines whether or not there is a credit line balance of the settlement card 50 excluding the total amount of the ordered product every time the order receiving unit 106 described later receives an order. good.

  The payment check unit 104 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the payment check unit 104 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit). Further, the payment check unit 104 may have communication means such as a transmission means and a reception means (not shown) as described above.

  When the payment check unit 104 outputs a check result indicating that the payment card 50 is a payable payment card, the display unit 105 reads the product information from the product information storage unit 102, and Displays the order screen used to accept orders. In addition, as described above, each time the payment check unit 104 receives an order, the order receiving unit 106, which will be described later, checks whether there is a balance of the payment card 50 excluding the total amount of the ordered product. The display unit 105 may display the order screen only when the payment check unit 104 outputs a result indicating that there is a balance. Or you may make it display the order screen which functions as an interface etc. which can accept an order with which an order button etc. are effective. For example, when the payment check unit 104 outputs a result indicating that the balance is insufficient, the display unit 105 grays out an order button, an image of a product, or the like (that is, it cannot be used). As shown, an order screen may be displayed with a lower display density. The check result indicating that the payment card 50 can be used is, for example, the check result output by the payment check unit 104 when the card is determined to be usable by the credit check, or the balance by the credit check. This is a check result output by the payment check unit 104 when it is determined that there is.

  The order screen is an interface screen for accepting orders for products displayed on the display unit 105. For example, the order screen is a screen for receiving product information and an order for the product, and is generally configured by an image of a button for receiving an order, an image of a field for receiving designation of a quantity, or the like. The order screen may be a menu screen for order reception. The order screen may be of any configuration as long as it can be displayed as a result. For example, the order screen may have one or more screens other than the screen for accepting orders as long as the screen for accepting orders can be displayed. To give a specific example, the order screen is a screen composed of a screen for explaining one or more products and a screen for ordering the selected product displayed when one item in the screen is selected. Also good. In addition, the order screen may further include information about a store or the like, advertisement information, and the like. For example, the display unit 105 reads out the product information stored in the product information storage unit 102 and arranges the read product information according to a predesignated rule or a predesignated template or the like. Image information of the order screen is generated and the order screen is displayed. In addition, when the product information storage unit 102 stores information for displaying an order screen on which product information is arranged, for example, information in an HTML format, an XML format, or the like, the information is read and an order screen is displayed. May be.

  The display unit 105 preferably stops displaying the order screen when the attachment determination unit 103 determines that the payment card 50 is removed. Stopping the display may be to temporarily hide (stop) the order screen, or to end the display of the order screen. When the order screen is temporarily hidden, the display may be resumed when the same settlement card 50 is mounted again within a predetermined time.

  The display unit 105 may or may not include a display device. The display unit 105 may be realized by display device driver software, or display device driver software and a display device.

  The order receiving unit 106 receives an order for a product from the user via the order screen displayed by the display unit 105. For example, when the user presses an order application button, an order confirmation button, or the like for one or more products displayed on the order screen by a mouse operation, a touch panel operation, or the like, an order for these products is accepted. Further, for example, when information specifying the quantity, size, etc. of the product to be ordered is input on the order screen, the information on the quantity and size is also received together with the order of the product.

  Order reception described here is a concept including reception of information input from an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel. The order receiving unit 106 can be realized by a device driver for input means such as a numeric keypad or a keyboard, control software for a menu screen, and the like.

  The information about the order contents received by the order receiving unit 106, that is, the product information about the ordered product is, for example, from the order transmitting means (not shown) in the order receiving unit 106 and the identification information of the ordering device 1 and the like. Correspondingly, it may be transmitted to a server device that performs order processing via a network or the like, or a server device that is a notification destination of order contents. The order content information is, for example, product identification information such as a product code, product quantity, or product size information. Further, if the ordering device 1 itself is a device that performs processing according to the order, the processing according to the accepted order is performed.

  The order information storage unit 107 stores order information that is information related to the product for which the order receiving unit 106 has received an order. As a result, the order information only needs to be information that can be obtained for the product for which the order has been received. For example, the order information may be information on the price of the product for which the order has been received or information on the total price. It may be the identification information or quantity information of the product that received the item. For example, by preparing information including product identification information and product price in advance, the price for the ordered product can be calculated from the product identification information.

  The process of storing the order information in the order information storage unit 107 does not matter. For example, when the order receiving unit 106 receives an order, the order receiving unit 106 may accumulate order information about the product for which the order has been received. Further, when the settlement processing unit 108, which will be described later, makes a settlement, or at the timing or trigger specified in advance, the price for the product ordered from the ordering device 1 transmitted from the store server or the like, or the total price Order information such as an amount of money may be accumulated in the order information storage unit 107. The order information storage unit 107 is preferably a non-volatile recording medium, but can also be realized by a volatile recording medium.

  When the attachment determination unit 103 determines that the payment card 50 has been removed, the payment processing unit 108 uses the payment card 50 to settle the order received via the order screen. For example, the payment processing unit 108 acquires, in advance, card information necessary for payment stored in the attached payment card 50 by using the card reader unit 101 and accumulates it in a storage medium (not shown) or the like. Keep it. If the payment card 50 is a credit card, the card information necessary for the payment is card number or expiration date information. When it is determined that the payment card 50 has been removed, the payment processing unit 108 uses the order information stored in the order information storage unit 107 described above to determine the price of the product ordered from the ordering device 1. Acquires information indicating the total. When the payment processing unit 108 detects the removal of the payment card 50, it sends information requesting order information such as the price of the product ordered from the ordering device 1 to the store server or the like. The order device 1 receives the order information transmitted from the store server in response to this request by a receiving unit (not shown) and temporarily stores it in the order information storage unit 107. The temporarily stored order information is stored in the order information storage unit 107. The settlement processing unit 108 may be used for acquiring the total price of the product. Then, the server device (not shown) for performing the payment process via the communication means or the like not shown in the figure showing the information indicating the total amount and the card information necessary for the payment acquired in advance as described above. Send. The server device that performs the payment processing is, for example, a server device that is operated by a card company, a company that performs payment processing, or the like. This completes the settlement of the ordered product.

  Note that the settlement processing unit 108 may perform settlement when a predetermined time has elapsed after the attachment determining unit 103 determines removal of the settlement card 50. Whether or not the time specified in advance has elapsed can be determined by, for example, counting the elapsed time since removal using a clock or the like. By doing in this way, even if the user temporarily removes the payment card 50 from the card mounting unit 100 when leaving the ordering device 1, payment can be prevented.

  The settlement processing unit 108 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the settlement processing unit 108 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the ordering apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the ordering apparatus 1 will be described.

  (Step S <b> 201) The attachment determination unit 103 determines whether or not the payment card 50 is attached to the card attachment unit 100. If it is attached, the process proceeds to step S202. If it is not attached, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S <b> 202) The payment check unit 104 reads the card information from the payment card 50 using the card reader unit 101. The card information to be read out is, for example, a card number or expiration date information. The read card information is temporarily stored in, for example, a storage medium (not shown).

  (Step S203) The payment check unit 104 transmits the card information read in step S202 to a server device designated in advance for performing credit processing.

  (Step S204) The payment check unit 104 determines whether information indicating the result of the credit processing transmitted from the server device has been received. If received, the process proceeds to step S205. If not received, the process returns to step S204.

  (Step S205) The payment check unit 104 determines whether or not the result of the credit processing (payment check) is a result indicating that the attached settlement card 50 is available for payment for the commodity price. To do. If the result indicates an available state, the process proceeds to step S206. If the result indicates an unusable state, the process proceeds to step S210.

  (Step S206) The display unit 105 reads the product information stored in the product information storage unit 102, and displays an order screen using the product information.

  (Step S207) The order receiving unit 106 determines whether an order for one or more products has been received via the order screen. If accepted, the process proceeds to step S208. If not accepted, the process proceeds to step S211.

  (Step S208) The order receiving unit 106 transmits information indicating the order received in step S207 to a server device or the like (not shown) that is a transmission destination of the order contents for performing processing according to the order.

  (Step S209) The order receiving unit 106 stores the order information about the ordered product in the order information storage unit 107. Then, the process returns to step S207.

  (Step S210) The display unit 105 displays an error indicating that the card mounted in Step S201 is not the usable payment card 50. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S211) The attachment determination unit 103 determines whether or not the attached payment card 50 has been removed from the card attachment unit 100. If it has been removed, the process proceeds to step S212. If it has not been removed, the process returns to step S207.

  (Step S212) The attachment determination unit 103 determines whether or not the payment card 50 has been reattached to the card attachment unit 100. When it is remounted, the process returns to step S207, and when it is not remounted, the process proceeds to step S213. Whether or not the card has been reattached may simply determine again whether or not the payment card 50 has been attached to the card attachment unit 100, or after the card information read in step S202 and the payment card 50 have been removed. The determination may be made based on whether or not the card information read from the settlement card 50 attached to the card attachment unit 100 matches. If it is determined that a payment card 50 that does not match is installed, the installation determination unit 103 determines that the payment card 50 is not re-installed and indicates that a different payment card 50 is installed. You may make it display on the display part 105. FIG.

If it has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S214, and if it has not elapsed, the process returns to step S213.

  (Step S214) The settlement processing unit 108 uses the order information stored in the order information storage unit 107 to acquire information indicating the total price of the product ordered by the ordering device 1.

  (Step S215) The settlement processing unit 108 uses the information on the total price of the ordered product acquired in Step S214 and the card information temporarily stored in Step S202 or the like to the settlement server device via a network or communication line. Send through. Then, the process returns to step S201. The processes in step S214 and step S215 may be considered as a settlement process performed by the settlement processing unit 108.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 2, the process is terminated by powering off or a process termination interrupt.

Hereinafter, a specific operation of the ordering apparatus 1 in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of an ordering system having the ordering apparatus 1. In this specific example, a case where the settlement card 50 is a credit card will be described as an example. Here, the payment cards 50 respectively owned by the users A to D are referred to as payment cards 50a to 50d. Here, the order system includes a plurality of order devices 1, a settlement server device 10 that performs credit card credit processing and settlement processing, and an order processing server device 20 that performs order processing according to an order. . Here, for convenience of explanation, a plurality of ordering devices 1 are shown as ordering devices 1a to 1d. The plurality of ordering apparatuses 1 and the settlement server apparatus 10 are communicably connected via a network, a communication line, or the like. Further, the plurality of ordering devices 1 and the order processing server device 20 are communicably connected via a network or a communication line. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the ordering device 1 and the network to which the settlement server device 10 is connected, and the ordering device 1 and the order processing server device 20 are connected by a wireless network.

  Here, as an example, it is assumed that the plurality of ordering devices 1 and the order processing server device 20 are installed in the same restaurant. Each ordering device 1 is a terminal for accepting food and drink orders from users, and is installed near each user's seating position on a table used by a plurality of users. In this order system, it is preferable that each user can use one ordering device 1 per person.

  First, it is assumed that the users A to D install their own settlement cards 50a to 50d on the card installation unit 100 of the ordering apparatus 1 installed in the vicinity of each of the same tables in the restaurant. For example, when the user A attaches the payment card 50a to the card attachment unit 100 of the ordering apparatus 1a, the attachment determination unit 103 detects that the payment card 50a is attached and uses the card reader unit 101 to make a payment. Card information including a card number, an expiration date, and information indicating the type of card (for example, information indicating a card company) is read from the card 50a. For example, the card number read from the payment card 50a of the user A is “12341234xxx × xxxx” (where x is a number) and the expiration date is “10/14” (month / Year), it is assumed that the information indicating the type of the card is “VMDA card”. The read card information is temporarily stored in a storage medium (not shown).

  Then, the payment check unit 104 performs credit processing using the read card information. That is, first, the read card information is transmitted via the network to the settlement server device 10 corresponding to the type of card indicated by the card information. Here, the data is transmitted to the settlement server device 10 dedicated to the “VMDA card”. Note that the information indicating the type of payment card 50 may be information (for example, address information) indicating a communication destination of a payment server device capable of payment processing and credit processing using the payment card 50. .

  The settlement server device 10 performs credit processing using the card number transmitted from the ordering device 1 and information on the expiration date. For example, first, it is determined whether or not the expiration date is a time limit including the current date and time, whether or not the card number is a card number that has been suspended, and credit corresponding to this card number is determined. It is determined whether the balance is a positive value. Then, it is determined that the expiration date is a time limit including the current date and time, the card number does not match the suspended card number, and the credit balance corresponding to the card number is a positive value. In this case, the payment server device 10 transmits to the ordering device 1a a credit processing result indicating that the payment card 50a corresponding to the transmitted card information is a payment card that is currently payable. Note that the credit processing and the like in the settlement server device 10 are known techniques, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted here.

  When the payment check unit 104 receives the information indicating the credit processing result indicating that the attached payment card 50a can be used for payment, the check result indicating that the payment card 50a can be paid, The data is output to the display unit 105.

  Since the display unit 105 has received a check result indicating that the payment card 50a can be paid, the display unit 105 displays an order screen.

  FIG. 4 is a product information management table for managing product information stored in the product information storage unit 102. The product information management table includes items of “product ID”, “genre”, “product name”, “price”, and “image”. “Product ID” is the product identification number, “Genre” is information indicating the product classification, “Product Name” is the name of the product, “Price” is the price of the product, and “Image” is the product image. Indicates the file name.

  The display unit 105 reads out template information prepared in advance from a storage unit or the like (not shown), arranges product information read out from the product information management table shown in FIG. 4, and generates and displays an order screen. For example, if the read template information is information indicating a template for arranging four product information, the first order screen can be displayed by reading and arranging the four product information from the product information management table shown in FIG. Generate. For example, it is assumed that a field for setting the quantity for the product indicated by the product information to be arranged, a button for receiving an order, and the like are set in advance in the template information. Then, the display unit 105 of the ordering apparatus 1a used by the user A displays the generated order screen on the monitor 105a of the ordering apparatus 1a. Note that a technique for arranging product information or the like in the template information and generating an order screen or the like is a known technique, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an order receiving screen displayed by the display unit 105.

  Here, the monitor 105a constitutes a touch panel, and the value of the input field 41 for setting the quantity of products whose “product name” is “shrimp fry” by the user operating the touch panel is “1” as a default. It is assumed that the button 42 for ordering is pressed after changing from “2” to “2”.

  By pressing the button, the order receiving unit 106 receives an order of “two” “shrimp fries”. Then, information about the order contents indicating that the order of “two” “shrimp fries” has been received is transmitted to the order receiving processing server device 20. Here, as an example, “F001” which is the “product ID” of “shrimp fry” and the value “2” indicating the quantity are transmitted to the order receiving processing server device 20 together with the identification information of the ordering device 1a.

  When receiving the information about the order contents transmitted from the ordering device 1a, the order receiving server device 20 accumulates this information in a storage medium (not shown) and displays this information on a monitor or the like. As a result, the contents of the order are communicated to the kitchen of the restaurant, cooking of “shrimp fries” is started, and “shrimp fries” of “2” dishes that are products ordered by the user using the ordering device 1a are provided. .

  Similarly, the order receiving unit 106 receives the order information having “product ID” “F001”, a quantity value “2”, and “shrimp” “price” “500” as the order information. Accumulate in the storage unit 107. Note that the price here is a unit price.

  The same processing as described above is also performed for operations such as ordering performed by other users than the user A using the ordering devices 1b to 1d.

  Next, if the user A removes the payment card 50a from the card mounting unit 100 in order to temporarily remove the seat, the mounting determination unit 103 detects that the payment card 50a has been removed. When the display unit 105 detects the removal of the payment card 50a, the display unit 105 temporarily hides the order screen. Specifically, the non-display means that no image may be displayed on the monitor 105a, or a pre-designated image may be displayed on the monitor 105a like a so-called screen saver. good. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent other users from looking into the order screen of the user A or trying to order from the order screen of another person. When the attachment determination unit 103 detects the removal of the payment card 50a, the payment processing unit 108 starts counting time and repeats the process of determining whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. For example, assume that the predesignated time is 10 minutes. In addition, the attachment determination unit 103 repeats the determination of whether or not the payment card 50a has been reattached to the card attachment unit 100 within a predesignated time.

  For example, it is assumed that the user A returns to the seat and the payment card 50a is mounted again on the card mounting unit 100 of the ordering apparatus 1a within 10 minutes, which is a predetermined time. The attachment determination unit 103 detects that the payment card 50a is attached to the card attachment unit 100. Then, the card information is read from the settlement card 50a, and it is determined whether or not it matches the card information accumulated at the time of the first card insertion. If they match, it is detected that the payment card 50a has been remounted. Then, the display unit 105 displays the order screen again, and the ordering apparatus 1 is in a state where it can accept orders. Further, the settlement processing unit 108 ends the time counting.

  Here, for example, it is assumed that the user A orders some products, eats and drinks, removes the card, and leaves the restaurant. As a result, it is assumed that the payment card 50a has not been reattached to the card attachment unit 100 of the ordering device 1a within a predetermined time. In this case, the payment processing unit 108 performs the payment processing, and when the user A orders using the order information stored in the order information storage unit 107 when it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed. Get the total price of the product.

  FIG. 6 is an order information management table for managing the order information stored in the order information storage unit 107. The order information management table has items of “product ID”, “price”, and “quantity”.

  The settlement processing unit 108 multiplies the “price” value of each order information stored in the order information storage unit 107 and the “quantity” value, and settles the sum of all the values obtained by the multiplication. Calculated as the total amount of money to be paid. Here, “2900” (yen) is calculated as the total price. Then, the calculated total price “2900”, the card number “12341234xxx × xxxx” that has been read from the settlement card 50a and temporarily stored, and the expiration date “10” / 14 "is transmitted to the settlement server device 10 via the network or the like.

  When the payment server device 10 receives the card information transmitted from the ordering device 1a and the total value of the ordered price, the payment server device 10 deducts the total of the ordered product price from the payment card 50a indicated by the card information. Perform payment processing. Since the payment process is the same as a normal credit card payment process, a detailed description thereof is omitted here. Thereby, the price of the ordered product is withdrawn from the payment card 50a of the user A. Note that the card information of the user A is deleted after the settlement process.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, each user can individually order and settle a product using a settlement card without using a mobile phone having a settlement function.

  Note that the ordering device 1 may be any device as long as it accepts an order for a product, and may be any product that is an order target. For example, as in the above specific example, in a restaurant, a device for receiving an order may be used, or a device for receiving a ticket order at a station or the like. The same applies to the following.

  In the above specific example, before the ordering apparatus 1 displays the order screen or the like, an input screen or the like for accepting the input of the amount of money is displayed so that the reception unit (not shown) or the order reception unit 106 or the like You may make it receive the input of the amount of money from. When the display unit 105 displays the order screen, it is possible to place an order with a balance obtained by subtracting the total price of the ordered product from the smaller of the entered amount or the balance of the settlement card. You may make it display the order screen in which only the goods of the amount of money are arranged. For example, the display unit 105 subtracts the total price of the ordered product from the balance of the payment card, and obtains the value of the balance that can be ordered. Then, from the information having the product identification information and the product price associated with each other such as the product information management table shown in FIG. 4, the product identification information whose product price value is equal to or less than the acquired balance is searched. And the display part 105 displays the order screen which has arrange | positioned the merchandise information of the goods corresponding to the searched merchandise identification information. By doing in this way, the order of the goods which exceeded the budget which the user input can be prevented. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  In the above specific example, before the ordering apparatus 1 displays the order screen or the like, by displaying an input screen or the like for accepting an input for designating the eating and drinking mode, the receiving unit (not shown), the order receiving unit 106 or the like An input of a food and drink mode from a user or the like may be accepted. The eating and drinking mode means, for example, trends and styles regarding the quality, quantity, taste, type of food, and the like of food to eat and drink. For example, the eating and drinking mode includes a low price fullness mode that mainly provides food in a low price range designated in advance, a luxury mode that mainly provides food in a price range designated in advance. Then, the display unit 105 displays a dish order screen that satisfies the conditions corresponding to the eating and drinking mode. For example, when the designation of the low-priced fullness mode is received, the display unit 105 searches for food in a low-priced price range designated in advance and displays it on the order screen. In addition, when the designation of the luxury mode is accepted, the dish of the high price range designated in advance is searched and displayed on the order screen. The process of displaying the order screen for the price range corresponding to the eating and drinking mode is performed as follows, for example. First, a display mode and a value indicating an upper limit value and a lower limit value of a price range are associated with each other and stored in a storage medium or the like (not shown). And the display part 105 displays the value which shows the upper limit and lower limit of the price range corresponding to the display mode corresponding to the information which designates the display mode which the reception part etc. which are not shown received before the order screen is displayed. Read from this storage medium. And the display part 105 is more than the acquired lower limit value and less than an upper limit value from the information which matches product identification information and product price, such as the product information management table shown in FIG. The product identification information is retrieved, and an order screen on which product information of the product corresponding to the retrieved product identification information is arranged is displayed. In addition to accepting the input of the amount as described above, such designation of the eating and drinking mode may be accepted. In this case, a menu of dishes satisfying the eating and drinking mode within the balance as described above may be displayed. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  Further, in the above specific example, payment is performed after a predetermined time elapses after the user removes the payment card 50 from the ordering device 1, but before the payment is performed. When the user enters another store or the like and attaches the settlement card 50 to another ordering device 1, before the credit check is performed by the ordering device 1, the previous ordering device 1 It is preferable to complete the settlement from the settlement card 50. This is because the credit check by the other ordering apparatus 1 is not performed accurately if the settlement is not completed. In order to perform such processing, for example, when the payment card 50 is attached to one ordering device 1, the card identification information such as the card number of this payment card is sent to the other ordering devices 1. It is transmitted via a network or the like. Then, it is determined whether or not it matches the card identification information of the unsettled payment card 50 of each ordering device. If they match, payment may be performed. Alternatively, the order in which the card identification information in the unsettled state is transmitted when the card identification information in the unsettled state is transmitted to the other ordering device 1 and the settlement card 50 having the matching card identification information is mounted. Information indicating that a matching card has been detected, an instruction to make a payment, or the like may be transmitted to the device 1 to make the payment.

(Embodiment 2)
The ordering apparatus 2 according to this embodiment uses a payment card 60 in which a value corresponding to money is stored in a payment card, such as an electronic money card, instead of the payment card 50 described above as a payment card. Is used. Such a settlement card 60 does not use a server device for settlement, and may be considered as an independent settlement card.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of the ordering apparatus 2 in the present embodiment.
The ordering apparatus 2 includes a card mounting unit 100, a card reader / writer unit 201, a product information storage unit 102, a mounting determination unit 103, a payment check unit 204, a display unit 205, an order reception unit 106, an order information storage unit 107, and a settlement process. The unit 208 is provided.

  The configurations and operations of the card mounting unit 100, the product information storage unit 102, the mounting determination unit 103, the order receiving unit 106, and the order information storage unit 107 are the same as those in the first embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted here. .

  The settlement card 60 is a settlement card in which a value corresponding to money is stored in the settlement card, such as an electronic money card, for example, and a settlement card capable of reading and writing stored information. It is. The value corresponding to money may be information such as the amount of money, or may be a value that can be converted into an amount of money, such as points. The settlement card 60 is, for example, an IC card. However, the payment card may be a magnetic card or the like.

  The card reader / writer unit 201 reads and writes card information that is information recorded in the settlement card 60. For example, the card reader / writer unit 201 reads and writes card information with respect to the settlement card 60 mounted on the card mounting unit 100. Further, in order to enable payment using the payment card 60 when the card is removed, the card information can also be read and written from the payment card 60 that is not completely attached to the card attachment unit 100. It is preferable to do so. The state in which the card is not completely mounted on the card mounting unit 100 is a state in the middle of removal from the card mounting unit 100, for example. The card reader / writer unit 201 is, for example, an IC card reader / writer that reads information from a payment card 60 that is an IC card, or a magnetic card reader / writer that reads and writes information from the payment card 60 that is a magnetic card. Such as a writer. Since the configuration of the card reader / writer is a known technique, the description thereof is omitted here.

  The payment check unit 204 performs a payment check on the settlement card 60 when the installation determination unit 103 determines that the settlement card 60 is installed. For example, a check result is output. The payment check is a check as to whether or not the payment card 60 is a payable card. That is, it is a check as to whether or not the card can be used for payment of a price for a product or the like. The payment check may be a check as to whether or not the settlement card 60 is a valid card. When the payment card 60 is a payment card storing a value corresponding to money, such as an electronic money card, the payment check of the payment card 60 is, for example, a balance check. The balance check is, for example, checking whether or not there is a balance in the payment card 60. The presence of a balance may be, for example, that there is a balance that can be used, regardless of the amount of money, or that there is a balance that is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount. The amount designated in advance may be, for example, the lowest price among the products indicated by the product information stored in the product information storage unit 102. For example, the payment check unit 204 checks whether or not there is a balance greater than or equal to a predetermined amount of 1 yen or more. Outputs the check result information shown. Or you may check the information of the flag etc. which show the presence or absence of a balance.

  Further, every time the order receiving unit 106 receives an order, the payment checking unit 204 may determine whether or not there is a balance of the value of the settlement card 60 excluding the total amount of the ordered products.

  The payment check unit 204 can be usually realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the payment check unit 204 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded in a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  When the payment check unit 204 outputs a check result indicating that the payment card 60 is a payable payment card, the display unit 205 reads the product information from the product information storage unit 102, and Displays the order screen used to accept orders. Alternatively, the display unit 205 may display an order screen that functions as an interface or the like that can accept an order, in which an order button is valid. The check result indicating that the payment card 60 is a payable payment card is, for example, a balance check result indicating that the payment card 60 has a balance. Since other configurations and operations of the display unit 205 are the same as those of the display unit 105, description thereof is omitted here.

  The display unit 205 determines whether the payment check unit 204 has a value balance of the payment card 60 excluding the total amount of the ordered product every time the order receiving unit 106 receives an order. In this case, for example, when the payment check unit 204 outputs a result indicating that the balance is insufficient, the display of the order screen may be stopped.

  Further, the display unit 205 may display only product information of products that can be purchased with the balance of the settlement card 60. That is, only the product information of products whose product price is less than or equal to the balance of the settlement card 60 may be displayed. Further, each time the order receiving unit 106 receives an order, the product information of the product that can be purchased with the balance of the value of the settlement card 60 excluding the total amount of the ordered product (that is, the product whose price is less than the balance). Only product information) may be displayed. Alternatively, for product information of products that cannot be purchased, the order button or the like may be hidden so that orders are not accepted, and the product information and order buttons of such products may be displayed at a lower display density. (So-called grayed out), the order may not be accepted, and the user may be visually informed that the product cannot be ordered.

  When the attachment determination unit 103 determines that the payment card 6060 has been removed, the payment processing unit 208 uses the payment card 60 to settle the order received via the order screen. In this embodiment, since the payment card 60 is an independent payment card such as an electronic money card, the payment processing unit 208 uses the value indicating the price of the ordered product directly from the payment card 60. Pull out. Processing for sending information corresponding to the value withdrawn by the settlement processing unit 208 to a company or the like that manages electronic money, and for the store (company) to receive money corresponding to this price, Since it is the same as the processing of electronic money or the like, description thereof is omitted here.

  The settlement processing unit 208 can usually be realized by an MPU, a memory, or the like. The processing procedure of the settlement processing unit 208 is usually realized by software, and the software is recorded on a recording medium such as a ROM. However, it may be realized by hardware (dedicated circuit).

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the ordering apparatus 2 of the present embodiment. Hereinafter, the operation of the ordering apparatus 2 will be described. In FIG. 8, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 indicate the same or corresponding steps.

  (Step S <b> 801) The payment check unit 204 uses the card reader / writer unit 201 to read information on a balance that can be used for payment by the user from the payment card 60.

  (Step S802) The payment check unit 204 checks whether or not there is a balance using the balance information read in step S801. For example, it is determined whether or not the balance is 1 yen or more. If the balance is 1 yen or more, information indicating that there is a balance is output. In other cases, information indicating that there is no balance is output. . This balance check is here a payment check.

  (Step S803) The display unit 205 reads product information stored in the product information storage unit 102, and displays an order screen using the product information. Then, the process proceeds to step S207.

  (Step S804) The display unit 205 displays an error indicating that the card mounted in step S201 is the settlement card 60 with no balance. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S805) The settlement processing unit 208 determines whether or not the settlement card 60 has been removed from the card mounting unit 100. However, here, the card reader / writer unit 201 can determine whether the card is to be taken out when the card reader / writer unit 201 is within the range of reading / writing information from / to the payment card 60 so that information indicating the price can be drawn from the payment card 60. To. In other words, here, taking a state other than the state in which the payment card 60 is completely attached is considered as removing the card. For example, it may be determined that the card has been removed from the state in which the card is attached to the position specified in advance, or the state may be in the case where a part of the payment card 60 has been removed from the card attachment unit 100. A change switch or the like may be provided, and removal of the payment card 60 may be detected based on a change in the state of the switch. If it has been removed, the process proceeds to step S214. If it has not been removed, the process returns to step S201.

  (Step S806) The settlement processing unit 208 extracts a value corresponding to the total price of the ordered product calculated in Step S214 from the settlement card 60. This process is the same as the process of withdrawing the price from the IC card type electronic money. Further, the settlement processing unit 208 may transmit information for charging money corresponding to the value withdrawn to a server of a company that manages the settlement card 60 or the like. Then, the process returns to step S201.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 8, the process ends when the power is turned off or the process is terminated.

Hereinafter, a specific operation of the ordering apparatus 2 in the present embodiment will be described.
FIG. 9 is a conceptual diagram of an ordering system having the ordering device 2. In this specific example, the case where the independent settlement card 60 is an IC card type electronic money card will be described as an example. Here, the payment cards 60 used by the users A to D are referred to as payment cards 60a to 60d, respectively. Here, the order system includes a plurality of order devices 2 and an order processing server device 20 that performs order processing according to the order. Here, a plurality of ordering devices 2 are shown as ordering devices 2a to 2d for convenience of explanation. The plurality of order apparatuses 2 and the order processing server apparatus 20 are communicably connected via a network, a communication line, or the like. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the ordering device 2 and the order processing server device 20 are connected by a wireless LAN. Here, as in the specific example described above, it is assumed that the plurality of ordering devices 1 and the order receiving processing server device 20 are installed in the same restaurant.

  First, it is assumed that the users A to D install their own settlement cards 60a to 60d on the card installation unit 100 of the ordering device 2 installed in the vicinity of each of the same tables in the restaurant. For example, when the user A attaches the payment card 60a to the card attachment unit 100 of the ordering apparatus 2a, the attachment determination unit 103 detects that the payment card 60a is attached.

  Next, the payment check unit 204 uses the card reader / writer unit 201 to read the balance information available for payment from the payment card 60a. For example, it is assumed that the balance read from the payment card 60a of the user A is “5000 (yen)”. Then, it is determined whether or not the balance is equal to or greater than “1 (yen)” which is a value designated in advance. Here, since it is “1 (yen)” or more, the payment check unit 204 determines that there is a balance, and outputs information indicating that there is a balance.

  The display unit 205 displays the order screen as in the above specific example because the payment check unit 204 outputs information on the check result indicating that there is a balance. And the order of goods is received via this order screen. In addition, the order information for the received product is stored in the order information storage unit 107.

  Then, when the user A who has finished eating and drinking has taken out a part of the settlement card 60a from the card installation unit 100 in order to exit the restaurant, the attachment determination unit 103 has removed the settlement card 60a. Is detected. Then, as in the above specific example, the settlement processing unit 208 uses the order information stored in the order information storage unit 107 to acquire the total amount of the ordered price, and from the settlement card 60a, the card reader Using the writer unit 201, a value corresponding to the total price is taken out. Thereby, the settlement of the food and drink price is completed for the settlement card 60a. Further, when the payment card 60a is removed, the display unit 205 ends the display of the order screen.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, each user can individually order and settle a product using a settlement card without using a mobile phone having a settlement function.

  In addition, when using the ordering apparatus and ordering system of the first and second embodiments, particularly for restaurant orders, etc., it is usually possible to perform a credit check, balance check, etc. when a payment card is installed. The following effects are obtained as compared with the case of purchasing the product.

  In other words, if it is a normal product purchase, there is no risk that the cost cannot be recovered by checking the credit or balance at the cash register at the product transfer stage. This is because the member store does not have to transfer the merchandise based on the result of the credit or balance check.

  However, when using a card for the purpose of paying for food and drink rather than purchasing goods, if the card presented after eating or drinking becomes insufficient in credit or balance, there is a risk of loss of opportunity for the member store. In addition, even if the payment card user is not malicious, if the credit or the balance shortage is found after eating or drinking, an unexpected situation will occur for the card user. On the other hand, in the present application, such a risk can be avoided by performing checks such as a credit check and a balance check when the settlement card is mounted.

  Also, after the payment card is installed, the usage amount is added each time the payment card is used, and it remains in a payable state, that is, only when the balance of the payment card is larger than the total usage amount. You may be allowed to accept food and drink orders. In this way, automatic payment can be made when the card is removed. Since payment can be made automatically, no cash register is required.

  In addition, since the payment is made when the payment card is removed, the risk of fraudulent acts of the card user, such as removing the payment card and leaving without having to press the button to make payment, is avoided. it can.

  In each of the above embodiments, each process (each function) may be realized by centralized processing by a single device (system), or by distributed processing by a plurality of devices. May be.

  Further, in each of the above embodiments, it goes without saying that two or more communication means and the like existing in one apparatus may be physically realized by one medium.

  In each of the above embodiments, each component may be configured by dedicated hardware, or a component that can be realized by software may be realized by executing a program. For example, each component can be realized by a program execution unit such as a CPU reading and executing a software program recorded on a recording medium such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory.

  The software that realizes the ordering device in each of the above embodiments is the following program. In other words, this program uses a computer that can access a product information storage unit in which information about products is stored, and a payment card is installed in a card installation unit in which a payment card, which is a card used for payment, is installed. A check for whether or not the payment card is a payable card when the attachment determination unit determines that a payment card has been installed in the card installation unit. When the payment check unit outputs a check result indicating that the payment check unit to be performed and the payment card is a payable card, the product information is read and an order screen used for receiving an order for the product is displayed. This is a program for causing a display unit to function.

  In the program, the functions realized by the program do not include functions that can be realized only by hardware. For example, a function that can be realized only by hardware such as a modem or an interface card in an acquisition unit that acquires information or an output unit that outputs information is not included in the function realized by the program.
