Description

  The present invention relates to a transaction processing apparatus, a transaction processing method, a program, and a transaction processing system that are used to perform a settlement processing procedure in a transaction.

  For example, when a payment process using a card (for example, a credit card) is performed in the sale of goods, the conventional transaction processing apparatus makes a credit inquiry to the card owner and obtains a response that there is no problem, The sales information is transmitted to a predetermined settlement destination apparatus (for example, a settlement server apparatus operated by a settlement center) related to settlement. When the line between the transaction processing device and the payment destination device is disconnected and the sales amount per transaction is less than a predetermined amount, the transaction processing device has a RAM (Random Access Memory). Customer information and sales information are stored and stored as transaction information. Such accumulation of transaction information is called “tanking”. After the number of transaction information for each number of sales tanked reaches a certain value, the transaction processing device transmits the tanked transaction information to the settlement destination device in a lump. As a prior art related to such tanking, for example, a transaction processing apparatus shown in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

JP-A-2-75097

  When the line between the conventional transaction processing apparatus shown in Patent Document 1 and the settlement settlement destination apparatus is disconnected, an online settlement service (hereinafter referred to as “online settlement”) cannot be performed. Not only when the line is disconnected, but when the line of the store where the transaction processing device is installed is broken or short-circuited, or when the network of the line is down, the payment center device itself that is the payment destination device for payment Similarly, online payment cannot be performed even when the password is down (that is, when the service is suspended).

  Even when online payment cannot be performed, the conventional transaction processing apparatus can perform offline payment service (hereinafter referred to as “offline payment”). In other words, a conventional transaction processing apparatus is a settlement destination apparatus if the sales amount is within a range that does not exceed a transaction amount condition determined in advance based on a member store contract between a store and an acquirer (or a settlement processor or an issuer). Offline payment can be performed without communication with the client. And the transaction processing apparatus can perform the tanking of the transaction information as a result of performing offline payment.

  By the way, in order to perform a card transaction in a settlement using an IC credit card, a conventional transaction processing device is, for example, a PIN (Personal Identification Number) input using a PINPAD provided in the transaction processing device or its accessory device, Collation with card information read by a reading device provided in the processing device or its attached device is performed. The PIN verification is performed in the transaction processing apparatus, and when the verification matches (authentication), settlement with the IC credit card becomes possible.

  On the other hand, in a new payment method in which information necessary for authentication of a card used for payment processing is transmitted and received between a transaction terminal device and a payment destination device, authentication of an IC credit card is performed using a conventional transaction terminal. This is done at the payment destination device, not at the device. This type of transaction processing device transmits, for example, card information read by a reading device included in the transaction processing device or its accessory device to the settlement destination device, and is input using the PINPAD included in the transaction processing device or its accessory device. The PIN is transmitted to the settlement destination apparatus. The verification of the PIN of the IC credit card is performed not by the transaction terminal device but by the settlement destination device. Accordingly, since the operator cannot make an offline payment using an IC credit card in order to make a card payment in a state that is not online, the information recorded on the magnetic stripe provided along with the IC credit card is used. It is necessary to perform offline payment using the magnetic credit card function.

  Since the IC credit card is also provided with a magnetic stripe, it is possible to perform settlement using a magnetic credit card function. At that time, the operator calls the acquirer or payment processor (or issuer) to make a credit inquiry about the transaction, and when the credit is obtained, the authorization number obtained from the acquirer (or issuer) is sent to the transaction terminal device. An offline payment may be performed by inputting, or an offline payment may be performed without obtaining such authentication information. In any case, the transaction terminal device tanks transaction information for offline settlement performed using the magnetic credit card function. When the operator inputs the approval number to the transaction terminal device, the transaction terminal device may tank the approval number together with the corresponding transaction information. For reference, credit card payment can be made by entering or copying the approval information together with the card number in a paper credit slip without using a transaction terminal device.

  However, in the settlement performed using the magnetic credit card function, offline settlement with a call and acquisition of an approval number takes a long time, and the procedure becomes complicated. For this reason, the time to wait for the customer for settlement also becomes longer. In order to avoid such complicated procedures and long waiting time, the operator can perform offline payment by the magnetic credit card function without acquiring the approval number, but authentication of the card like an IC card is possible. It is not possible to prevent unauthorized card payment transactions. For this reason, there has been a problem that at least one of the acquirer and the store (often becoming an acquirer) suffers damage based on the above-mentioned member store contract.

  In addition, when the transaction processing device used for offline payment fails after sales by offline payment, the operator who replaces the transaction terminal device cannot retrieve transaction information from the failed transaction processing device, or rarely information There were times when I forgot to take out. As a result, there is a problem that the transaction information tanked in the failed transaction processing apparatus is not used and inconsistency with the transaction information held by the settlement destination occurs. As a result, there is a problem that the store suffers damage because the receivables sold through offline payment cannot be collected.

  Furthermore, with the configuration of Patent Document 1 as described above, it is difficult to accurately ensure information security of various types of information tanked in the transaction processing apparatus (that is, transaction information related to offline payment processing).

  For example, since the transaction information tanked in Patent Document 1 is stored in the second card storage medium, when it is connected to another apparatus other than the transaction processing apparatus or the second card storage medium is a malicious third party If it is taken away, there is a problem that the risk that the transaction information itself is easily taken is unavoidable.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention accurately secures information security of transaction information related to payment processing performed in an offline situation, and reduces the risk of transaction information being taken in an offline situation. An object is to provide a processing device, a transaction processing method, a program, and a transaction processing system.

  Furthermore, the present invention provides a transaction processing apparatus and transaction that reduce the possibility of losing transaction information that has been tanked to a failed transaction processing apparatus while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. It aims at providing a processing method, a program, and a transaction processing system.

  Further, the present invention provides a card with a payment method (IC credit card) in which information necessary for authentication of a card used for payment processing is transmitted and received between a transaction terminal device and a payment destination device. An object of the present invention is to provide a transaction processing apparatus, a transaction processing method, a program, and a transaction processing system that enable efficient offline payment using a magnetic credit function.

  The present invention reads from the card a communication unit that communicates with a predetermined settlement destination apparatus regarding settlement processing of transaction content using a card, and card information used for settlement of the transaction using the card. When the communication regarding the payment process in the communication unit is disabled, the magnetic card reader unit, the input unit for inputting information on various items related to the payment process using the card, and the payment process using the card Accordingly, the predetermined settlement destination apparatus needs the sales information to be transmitted to the predetermined settlement destination apparatus based on the card information and the information on the various items input to the input unit. A symbol generator that generates a symbol of a predetermined shape so as to be recoverable as the sales information, and the symbol of the predetermined shape generated by the symbol generator is marked as an offline payment slip. Comprising a printing unit for a, a transaction processor.

  The present invention also relates to a transaction processing method in the transaction processing apparatus, the step of reading card information used for settlement of a transaction using a card, and a transaction processing settlement process using the card for the input unit. When the communication between the step of inputting various items of information relating to the transaction and the predetermined settlement destination device relating to the settlement processing of the transaction content using the card is impossible, the symbol generation unit uses the card.

In the case) (S1, offline state), the CPU 21 prompts the display unit 37 of the touch panel TP to prompt the store clerk to read a card (for example, a credit card) in order to activate the payment processing application. (Card scan prompt) is displayed (S2).

  When a clerk of a member store (for example, a store) performs a reading operation of a credit card held by a customer, the magnetic card reader unit 23, the contact type IC card reader / writer unit 25, or the non-contact type IC card reader / writer unit 27 Information recorded on a credit card (that is, a magnetic credit card, a contact IC credit card, or a contactless IC credit card) is read (S3). When the CPU 21 receives the information read by the magnetic card reader unit 23, the contact IC card reader / writer unit 25, or the non-contact IC card reader / writer unit 27, the CPU 21 inputs the transaction content that is the object of the payment process in the payment processing application. The screen is displayed on the display unit 37 of the touch panel TP.

  Thereafter, the store clerk performs an operation of inputting information related to the transaction contents to be processed for settlement on the touch panel TP while confirming with the customer. The CPU 21 detects these input operations via the touch input unit 35.

  For example, a card brand of a magnetic credit card, a contact type IC credit card or a non-contact type IC credit card is selected by an input operation of a store clerk, and information regarding the selected card brand is input to the CPU 21 (S4). Subsequently, a settlement amount is input by an input operation of the store clerk, and information regarding the input settlement amount is input to the CPU 21 (S5). Further, a payment method (for example, one-time payment, installment payment, etc.) is selected, the number of payments is input, and information regarding the selected payment method and the input number of payments is input to the CPU 21 (S6).

  When the credit card is a contact type IC credit card, after the information such as the payment method in step S6 is input, the customer uses the display unit 37 of the touch panel TP as a software keyboard in accordance with an instruction from the store clerk. For the displayed PINPAD (for example, a numeric keypad from “0” to “9”) or PINPAD7, the PIN (password) or the customer's own signature is input (S7). The CPU 21 acquires information regarding the PIN or signature input via the touch input unit 35. That is, in step S7, when making a payment in an offline state, for example, whether the purchaser (customer) of the product is a legitimate owner of the credit card is confirmed.

  After the step S6 or S7, the CPU 21 sets the payment amount input in step S5 in the offline state in which the settlement amount (predetermined based on the member store contract between the store (member store) and the acquirer or issuer) ( It is determined whether or not the transaction amount condition at the time of offline settlement is exceeded (S8). Information on transaction amount conditions (for example, the upper limit amount of 100,000 yen per transaction) at the time of offline settlement is stored in advance in, for example, the CPU 21 or the flash ROM 55, but may be appropriately updated according to the renewal of the member store contract. Good.

  If it is determined in step S8 that the payment amount input in step S5 does not exceed the transaction upper limit amount in the offline state determined in advance based on the member store contract between the store and the acquirer or issuer. The CPU 21 encrypts information on various items (so-called settlement information MPY) input in steps S3 to S6 and the store information CNR described above using a predetermined encryption key (S9). The transaction processing device 1 performs the above-described encryption using an encryption key that can be decrypted by the settlement destination device. Further, the CPU 21 encodes the encrypted information to generate a two-dimensional barcode BD1 as an example of a symbol having a predetermined shape (S9). The purpose of generating the offline settlement slip RC1 is to make the store clerk aware of the existence of sales information to be transmitted to the acquirer, issuer or settlement processor, and to back up when the information tanked to the transaction processing device 1 is lost It is said. In offline payment using a magnetic credit card, when an operator inputs an approval number to the transaction processing device 1, the transaction processing device 1 uses the predetermined encryption key together with the above-described payment information MPY and store information CNR. You may encrypt using. Then, the transaction processing device 1 may generate the two-dimensional barcode BD1 including the above-described encryption information as an example of a predetermined symbol.

  After step S9, the CPU 21 generates the offline settlement slip RC1 by causing the printer 41 to print the two-dimensional barcode BD1 generated in step S9 via the printer I / F unit 39 (S10). The offline settlement slip RC1 is generated for the purpose of making the store clerk aware of the existence of sales information to be transmitted to the settlement center device 5 and backing up when the information tanked to the transaction processing device 1 is lost. . Furthermore, the CPU 21 causes the printer 41 to print not only the offline payment slip RC1 but also a customer copy relating to transaction settlement processing (offline payment processing) and a signature copy as necessary via the printer I / F unit 39 ( S10). In step S10, the CPU 21 prints the offline settlement slip RC1 printed by the printer 41 (for example, after outputting the data of the two-dimensional barcode BD1 as an example of a symbol to the printer I / F unit 39). Data including the above-described settlement information MPY and store information CNR, encryption information thereof, and data of the two-dimensional barcode BD1 held in the RAM 57 or a cache (not shown) of the CPU 21 are deleted. Thereafter, when the transaction processing apparatus 1 ends as an operation of the transaction processing apparatus 1 (S11, YES), the operation of the transaction processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 8 ends. On the other hand, when the transaction type of the transaction processing device 1 does not end as the operation of the transaction processing device 1 (S11, NO), the same processing is repeated with respect to the settlement processing of the next transaction content. Returns to step S2.

  On the other hand, as the processing type of the transaction processing apparatus 1, for example, an online state (that is, any one of the wired network I / F unit 47, the wide area wireless communication unit 49, and the local wireless communication unit 51 is in a communication disabled state (offline state). (S1, online status recovery), the offline settlement slip RC1 generated in step S10 is read by the symbol reader BDR as an example of the symbol reader 45 (S12). ). The read information is input to the CPU 21 via the symbol reader I / F unit 43.

  CPU21 decodes encryption information from the data read in step S12 (S13). Then, the CPU 21 transmits the decoded encryption information to the settlement center device 5 (S14). The settlement center device 5 receives the encrypted information transmitted from the transaction processing device 1, and decrypts the encrypted information. Then, the settlement center device 5 uses the decrypted information of various items (specifically, the store information CNR and the settlement information MPY) as the sales amount in the settlement processing (offline settlement) performed in the offline state. Register sales. Thereafter, when the transaction processing device 1 ends as an operation of the transaction processing device 1 (S15, YES), the operation of the transaction processing device 1 shown in FIG. 8 ends. On the other hand, when the transaction processing device 1 does not end as the operation type of the transaction processing device 1 (S15, NO), the same processing is repeated with respect to the settlement processing of the next offline settlement slip. Operation returns to step S12.

  Further, as a processing type of the transaction processing apparatus 1, for example, an online state (that is, an original online state that is not originally in an offline state (any of the wired network I / F unit 47, the wide area wireless communication unit 49, and the local wireless communication unit 51). When the communication is possible (online state)) (S1, online payment (normal time)), the transaction processing device 1 operates in steps S2 to S7 as in the offline state. Is called.

  After step S7, the CPU 21 determines whether or not credit can be given to the settlement center device 5 regarding the settlement processing of the transaction content input in steps S3 to S6 (credit inquiry), and the result of the credit inquiry. If a response indicating that there is no particular problem is obtained, sales registration is requested (S16). After step S16, the CPU 21 passes through the printer I / F unit 39, the customer copy and the store copy regarding the transaction processing (online payment processing) of the transaction content input in steps S3 to S6, and the signature copy as necessary. Is also printed on the printer 41 (S17). Thereafter, when the transaction processing device 1 ends as the operation type of the transaction processing device 1 (S18, YES), the operation of the transaction processing device 1 shown in FIG. 8 ends. On the other hand, if the transaction processing device 1 does not end as the operation type of the transaction processing device 1 (S18, NO), the same processing is repeated with respect to the next online payment processing. Return to S2.

  As described above, in the transaction processing system 10 according to the present embodiment, the transaction processing device 1 relates to a transaction content settlement process using a card (for example, a credit card) with the settlement center device 5 that is a predetermined settlement destination device. When communication is not possible, information on various items related to the payment process input to the touch panel TP is printed as an offline payment slip RC1 for each payment process of transaction details using a card. Further, after processing the offline settlement slip RC1, the transaction processing device 1 displays the information of the card CrD read by the magnetic card reader unit 23 and various items of information input to the touch panel TP corresponding to the offline settlement slip RC1. Delete the included information (payment information).

  As a result, the transaction processing device 1 according to the present embodiment is in a state where communication regarding the payment processing of transaction contents using a card is not possible (that is, in an offline state) with a predetermined settlement destination device (for example, the settlement center device 5). In some cases, information (transaction information) on various items (for example, card brand, payment amount, payment method and number of payments) related to the payment processing performed offline is printed as an offline payment slip RC1, and then information on various items. Therefore, even when the transaction processing device 1 is stolen or broken by a third party, it is possible to prevent the information security of the transaction information from deteriorating by properly managing the documents of the offline settlement slip RC1. , Can ensure the information security of transaction information accurately, and the risk that the transaction information is taken by a third party even in offline state It can be reduced. Furthermore, the possibility of losing the transaction information that has been tanked to the failed transaction processing device is reduced while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. Furthermore, even if the information required for authentication of the card used for payment processing is a payment method card (IC credit card) transmitted and received between the transaction terminal device and the payment destination device, the magnetics attached to the card Efficient offline settlement using a credit function is possible.

  Moreover, the transaction processing apparatus 1 produces | generates the symbol (two-dimensional barcode BD1) of the predetermined shape corresponding to the information (transaction information) of the various matters input into touch panel TP for every payment processing of the transaction content using a card | curd. Since it is printed as the offline payment slip RC1, the content of the transaction information is prevented from leaking as characters simply by looking at the symbol (two-dimensional barcode BD1) of the predetermined shape printed on the offline payment slip RC1. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the deterioration of information security of the transaction information printed on the offline settlement slip RC1. Furthermore, the possibility of losing the transaction information that has been tanked to the failed transaction processing device is reduced while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. Furthermore, even if the information required for authentication of the card used for payment processing is a payment method card (IC credit card) transmitted and received between the transaction terminal device and the payment destination device, the magnetics attached to the card Efficient offline settlement using a credit function is possible. Furthermore, since the symbol representing the transaction information is printed, it is possible to make the store clerk aware of the existence of sales information to be transmitted to the settlement center device 5.

  Further, the transaction processing device 1 encrypts information (transaction information) of various items input to the touch panel TP for each settlement process of transaction contents using a card, and a symbol having a predetermined shape corresponding to the encrypted information. Since the (two-dimensional barcode BD1) is generated and printed as the offline payment slip RC1, even when the offline payment slip RC1 is stolen by a third party and the content of the symbol is read by the symbol reader 45, the transaction information is decoded. As long as there is no key, the leakage of transaction information is avoided, so the information security of the transaction information printed on the offline settlement slip RC1 is deteriorated compared to the case where the transaction information is not encrypted before printing the offline settlement slip RC1. Can be reduced. Furthermore, the possibility of losing the transaction information that has been tanked to the failed transaction processing device is reduced while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. Furthermore, even if the information required for authentication of the card used for payment processing is a payment method card (IC credit card) transmitted and received between the transaction terminal device and the payment destination device, the magnetics attached to the card Efficient offline settlement using a credit function is possible.

  Further, when communication related to the payment process is changed from the disabled state to the enabled state, the transaction processing apparatus 1 is input to the touch panel TP with respect to the transaction content payment process using the card in response to the reading of the offline payment slip RC1. Information on various items is acquired, and using these pieces of information, the settlement center device 5 that is a predetermined settlement destination device is requested to register sales of transaction contents using a card.

  Thereby, the transaction processing apparatus 1 uses the information (transaction information) of various items input regarding the settlement processing of the transaction contents using the card in the offline state when the offline state is restored to the online state. Since transaction sales can be registered in the settlement center device 5, a series of settlement processing can be formally completed. Furthermore, the possibility of losing the transaction information that has been tanked to the failed transaction processing device is reduced while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. Furthermore, even if the information required for authentication of the card used for payment processing is a payment method card (IC credit card) transmitted and received between the transaction terminal device and the payment destination device, the magnetics attached to the card Efficient offline settlement using a credit function is possible.

  Further, when the transaction processing device 1 is changed from the disabled state to the enabled state, the transaction processing device 1 receives the information of the card CrD read by the magnetic card reader unit 23 and the card according to the reading of the offline payment slip RC1. The encrypted information obtained by encrypting the information of various items input to the touch panel TP with respect to the settlement processing of the transaction contents used is decoded and transmitted to the settlement center device 5 in an encrypted state. The encrypted information is encrypted using a key that can be decrypted by the settlement center device 5.

  As a result, when the transaction processing apparatus 1 recovers from the offline state to the online state, the information (transaction information) of various items relating to the transaction content settlement processing using the card in the offline state is stored in the settlement center. The device 5 is transmitted to the settlement center device 5 while being encrypted using a key that can be decrypted. Accordingly, the leakage of the contents of the transaction information can be reduced, and the sales contents of the transaction contents can be registered with the settlement center device 5, and a series of settlement processes can be completed formally. Furthermore, the possibility of losing the transaction information that has been tanked to the failed transaction processing device is reduced while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. Furthermore, even if the information required for authentication of the card used for payment processing is a payment method card (IC credit card) transmitted and received between the transaction terminal device and the payment destination device, the magnetics attached to the card Efficient offline settlement using a credit function is possible.

(Second Embodiment)
In the second embodiment, in the offline payment process, if the memory (for example, the RAM 57) has a free space, data related to the payment process is stored (tanked), and if there is no free space, the first An example of a transaction processing apparatus that prints an offline payment slip using data related to payment processing as in the embodiment will be described.

  In addition, since the system configuration of the transaction processing system including the transaction processing device of the present embodiment and the internal configuration of the transaction processing device are the same as those of the first embodiment, description on the same content is omitted, and different content is described. .

  Next, the operation | movement procedure of the transaction processing apparatus 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining in detail each operation procedure at the time of offline settlement, online recovery, and normal online of the transaction processing apparatus 1 of the second embodiment. In the description of each process shown in FIG. 9, the same reference numerals are given to the same processes as those shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 9, in step S8 in the offline state, the payment amount input in step S5 does not exceed the transaction upper limit amount in the offline state determined in advance based on the member store contract between the store and the acquirer or the issuer. If it is determined, the CPU 21 has a predetermined capacity or more in the capacity of the RAM 57 as a tanking memory for accumulating (tanking) information on various items related to the payment process input on the touch panel TP in steps S3 to S6. It is determined whether there is a vacancy (S21). Note that the RAM 57 is used as an example of the tanking memory, but an external storage medium (for example, an SD card) not shown in FIG. 4 may be used.

  When it is determined that the capacity of the RAM 57 serving as the tanking memory is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (S21, YES), the CPU 21 provides information on various items related to the payment process input on the touch panel TP in steps S3 to S6. Are stored (tanked) (S22). The purpose of this tanking process is to make the store clerk aware of the existence of sales information to be transmitted to the acquirer, issuer or payment processor, and to back up when the information tanked to the transaction processing device 1 is lost. In an offline payment using a magnetic credit card, when an operator inputs an approval number to the transaction processing device 1, the transaction processing device 1 may tank the approval number together with the above-described payment information MPY and store information CNR. In any case, the transaction processing apparatus 1 performs the tanking after encrypting the above-described information to be tanked using an encryption key that can be decrypted by the settlement destination apparatus.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the capacity of the RAM 57 as the tanking memory does not have a free space of a predetermined value or more (S21, NO), the CPU 21 determines that the payment destination device is in response to the above-described payment information MPY and store information CNR. Encryption is generated by performing encryption using a decryptable encryption key (S23). Further, the CPU 21 encodes the encrypted information into a two-dimensional barcode to generate a two-dimensional barcode BD1 (S23). A two-dimensional barcode is an example of a symbol having a predetermined shape. Further, the CPU 21 generates an offline settlement slip RC1 by causing the printer 41 to print the two-dimensional barcode BD1 via the printer I / F unit 39 (S23). The offline settlement slip RC1 is generated for the purpose of making the store clerk aware of the existence of sales information to be transmitted to the settlement center device 5 and backing up when the information tanked to the transaction processing device 1 is lost. . In offline payment using a magnetic credit card, when an operator inputs an approval number to the transaction processing device 1, the transaction processing device 1 uses the predetermined encryption key together with the above-described payment information MPY and store information CNR. You may encrypt using. And transaction processing device 1 may generate two-dimensional barcode BD1 containing the above-mentioned encrypted information as an example of a predetermined symbol.

  After step S22 or step S23, the CPU 21 prints on the printer 41, via the printer I / F unit 39, a customer copy or a store copy regarding transaction settlement processing (offline payment processing), and a signature copy if necessary. (S10A). In step S10A, the CPU 21 prints the offline settlement slip RC1 printed by the printer 41 (for example, after outputting the data of the two-dimensional barcode BD1 as an example of a symbol to the printer I / F unit 39). The above-described settlement information MPY and store information CNR, encryption information thereof, and data of the two-dimensional barcode BD1 held in the RAM 57 or the cache (not shown) of the CPU 21 are deleted. A part of the settlement information MPY and / or a part of the store information CNR may be deleted. When the tank 57 is tanked as the tanking memory, the CPU 21 deletes the data of the two-dimensional barcode BD1, but does not delete the encrypted payment information. Thereafter, when the transaction processing apparatus 1 ends as an operation of the transaction processing apparatus 1 (S11, YES), the operation of the transaction processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 8 ends. On the other hand, when the transaction type of the transaction processing device 1 does not end as the operation of the transaction processing device 1 (S11, NO), the same processing is repeated with respect to the settlement processing of the next transaction content. Returns to step S2.

  Next, when the offline state is restored to the online state (S1, online state restoration), the CPU 21 encrypts the information on various items related to the settlement processing tanked in the RAM 57 as the tanking memory (specifically, Store information CNR and settlement information MPY) are transmitted to the settlement center device 5 as encrypted settlement information. Then, the CPU 21 makes a request to the settlement center device 5 to register the sales as the sales amount in the settlement process (offline settlement) performed in the offline state (S24).

  If the offline settlement slip RC1 is not printed after step S24 (S25, YES), the operation of the transaction processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 9 ends. On the other hand, when the offline settlement slip RC1 is printed (S25, NO), the offline settlement slip RC1 generated in step S22 is read by the symbol reader BDR as an example of the symbol reader 45 (S12). The read information is input to the CPU 21 via the symbol reader I / F unit 43. Since the process after step S12 is the same as each process after step S12 of the transaction processing apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 8, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Further, as the processing type of the transaction processing apparatus 1, for example, the online state (that is, the normal online state that is not originally in the offline state (wired network I / F unit 47, wide area wireless communication unit 49 and local wireless communication unit 51). When both are in a communicable state (online state)) (S1, online payment (normal time)), the operation of the transaction processing apparatus 1 is the same as each process after step S2 shown in FIG. Therefore, the description is omitted.

  As described above, the transaction processing apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment is in a state in which communication regarding the settlement processing of transaction contents using a card (for example, a credit card) is not possible with the settlement center apparatus 5 that is a predetermined settlement destination apparatus. In this case, if there is a space exceeding a predetermined value in the capacity of the RAM 57 as a tanking memory for each transaction settlement processing using a card, information on various items related to the settlement processing input to the touch panel TP is encrypted. And tanking (accumulating). On the other hand, the transaction processing device 1 makes various matters related to the settlement processing input to the touch panel TP when there is no space exceeding the predetermined value in the capacity of the RAM 57 as the tanking memory for each settlement processing of transaction contents using a card. Is encrypted and then printed as an offline settlement slip RC1. Further, after processing the offline settlement form RC1, the transaction processing device 1 deletes various items of information input to the touch panel TP corresponding to the offline settlement form RC1.

  As a result, the transaction processing device 1 according to the present embodiment is in a state where communication regarding the payment processing of transaction contents using a card is not possible (that is, in an offline state) with a predetermined settlement destination device (for example, the settlement center device 5). In some cases, if the RAM 57 serving as a tanking memory has a free space greater than or equal to a predetermined value, various items related to the payment processing performed offline (for example, card brand, payment amount, payment method and number of payments) Since the information (transaction information) is encrypted and then tanked, the payment processing related to the sales registration request can be quickly performed on the payment center apparatus 5 after the online state is restored.

  Further, when the transaction processing device 1 is in a disabled state (that is, an offline state) with respect to a transaction content settlement process using a card with a predetermined settlement destination device (for example, the settlement center device 5), When the capacity of the RAM 57 as the tanking memory does not have a free space of a predetermined value or more, as in the first embodiment, various items related to the payment processing performed in the offline state (for example, card brand, payment amount, payment method) And the number of payments) (transaction information) is encrypted, then printed as an offline payment slip RC1, and then various items of information are deleted, so the transaction processing device 1 is stolen or broken by a third party Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the information security of the transaction information from deteriorating by properly managing the documents of the offline settlement slip RC1, and the transaction information information Kyuriti can be secured accurately, transaction information when turned off it is possible to reduce the risk of being taken by a third party. Furthermore, the possibility of losing the transaction information that has been tanked to the failed transaction processing device is reduced while reducing the complexity of the payment procedure and the occurrence of damage due to unauthorized card payment transactions. Furthermore, even if the information required for authentication of the card used for payment processing is a payment method card (IC credit card) transmitted and received between the transaction terminal device and the payment destination device, the magnetics attached to the card Efficient offline settlement using a credit function is possible.
