The information on the settlement method includes the name of the user, the balance of the electronic money, the account number of the deposit account of the electronic money, the credit card number for depositing the electronic money, and the deposit/withdrawal history of the electronic money.

(user terminal)

The user terminal 3 is a computer terminal used by a user. The user terminal 3 is, for example, a car navigation device of a vehicle rented by the user or a smartphone owned by the user, but may also be a mobile phone, a tablet terminal, a wearable computer, a personal computer, or the like. The user terminal 3 may be any terminal as long as it can exchange information with the vehicle sharing server 1.

The user terminal 3 includes a control unit (second processor) 31, a communication unit 32, a storage unit 33, a short-range wireless communication unit 34, and an operation/display unit (display) 35. The control unit 31, the communication unit 32, and the storage unit 33 are physically similar to the control unit 11, the communication unit 12, and the storage unit 13. The control unit 31 functions as a display control unit 311, a deposit method registration unit 312, a settlement method registration unit 313, a deposit processing unit 314, and a settlement processing unit 315 by executing the program.

The display control section 311 controls the display contents on the operation/display section 35. The display control unit 311 displays, on the operation/display unit 35, a login screen when logging in to the vehicle sharing system, a deposit screen when depositing electronic money shared with the vehicle, an extension selection screen 35a (see fig. 4) for selecting the extension for vehicle sharing, a warning display screen 35b for displaying a warning message, and a warning display screen 35c (see fig. 5 to 9) based on an operation (touch operation, flick operation, or the like) by the user. Further, the display control section 311 shifts each screen based on an operation by the user.

The deposit method registration unit 312 registers a deposit method for depositing on electronic money. Specifically, the deposit method registration unit 312 transmits a deposit method registration request for registering a plurality of different settlement methods (for example, bank accounts, credit cards, and the like) operated by a plurality of operators as a deposit to electronic money, to the vehicle sharing server 1. The vehicle sharing server 1 that has received the deposit method registration request from the deposit method registration unit 312 registers the settlement method included in the deposit method registration request in the storage unit 13 as the deposit method. Then, the vehicle sharing server 1 transmits the settlement method included in the deposit method registration request to the settlement operator server 2. The settlement operator server 2, which has received the deposit method registration request from the vehicle sharing server 1, registers the settlement method included in the deposit method registration request as a deposit method by storing the settlement method in the storage unit 23.

Here, fig. 3 is a diagram schematically showing the relationship of the settlement method in the settlement system. The "settlement method" is a payment principal (source of money) when settlement is performed, and here, electronic money of a prepaid system in which deposit is performed in advance is mainly used as a settlement method. A deposit method such as a bank account and a credit card as a method for depositing electronic money is added to the settlement method, thereby enabling the electronic money to be deposited. However, in the case where the settlement method is a prepaid method in which a deposit is made in advance in the form of cash or the like, the method of depositing a deposit such as a bank account or a credit card may not be associated with electronic money.

Then, the settlement is performed between the user terminal 3 and the store terminal 4 by this settlement method. Specifically, a settlement method is executed, such as settlement performed in a non-contact manner between the short-range wireless communication unit 34 of the user terminal 3 and the short-range wireless communication unit 44 of the store terminal 4 by covering the user terminal 3 to the store terminal 4, settlement performed by reading a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark) displayed on the store terminal 4 with a camera of the user terminal 3 or the like, settlement performed by reading a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark) displayed on the user terminal 3 with a code reader of the store terminal 4 or the like.

The settlement method registration unit 313 registers various settlement methods. The settlement method registration unit 313 transmits a settlement method registration request for registering a settlement method to the vehicle sharing server 1. The control unit 11 of the vehicle sharing server 1 that has received the settlement method registration request from the settlement method registration unit 313 stores the settlement method included in the settlement method registration request in the storage unit 13 as the user information 131, and registers the settlement method as the settlement method.

The deposit processing section 314 deposits electronic money shared by the automobile. Specifically, the deposit processing section 314 transmits a deposit request for depositing on electronic money by a settlement method registered as a deposit method to the automobile share server 1. The automobile share server 1 that received the deposit request from the deposit processing section 314 increases the balance of the electronic money based on the deposit amount information included in the deposit request. That is, the vehicle sharing server 1 updates the balance of the electronic money stored in the storage unit 13 in accordance with the increase in the balance of the electronic money. Then, the vehicle sharing server 1 transmits the deposit request to the settlement operator server 2. The settlement operator server 2 that has received the deposit request from the automobile share server 1 updates the balance of the electronic money stored in the storage unit 23 in accordance with the amount of increase in the balance of the electronic money based on the deposit amount information included in the deposit request.

The settlement processing section 315 executes settlement realized by the settlement method selected by the user. Specifically, the settlement processing unit 315 transmits a settlement request to the store terminal 4 through the short-range wireless communication unit 34 as a settlement method. As a settlement method, the settlement processing unit 315 may read a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark) displayed on the store terminal 4 by a camera of the user terminal 3 or the like, and transmit a settlement request to the store terminal 4. As a settlement method, the settlement processing unit 315 may transmit a settlement request to the store terminal 4 by reading a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark) displayed on the user terminal 3 by a code reader of the store terminal 4. The settlement request transmitted from the settlement processing unit 315 to the store terminal 4 may or may not include information indicating the settlement amount (hereinafter, referred to as "settlement amount information").

Next, when the settlement processing unit 315 performs settlement using electronic money, the control unit 41 of the store terminal 4 transmits a settlement request including the settlement amount information to the vehicle sharing server 1 via the network NW. The vehicle sharing server 1 that has received the settlement request from the store terminal 4 reduces the balance of the electronic money based on the settlement amount information included in the settlement request. That is, the control unit 11 updates the balance of the electronic money stored in the storage unit 23 in accordance with the amount of decrease in the balance of the electronic money. Then, the vehicle sharing server 1 transmits the deposit request to the settlement operator server 2, and the settlement operator server 2 updates the balance of the electronic money stored in the storage unit 23 in accordance with the amount of increase in the balance of the electronic money based on the deposit amount information included in the deposit request.

The storage unit 33 stores data of various screens that the display control unit 311 causes to display on the operation/display unit 35. The storage unit 33 temporarily stores user information 131, vehicle share information 132, settlement information 133, and the like as needed.

The short-range wireless communication unit 34 has a communication function according to standards such as NFC (Near field communication), BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy), IrDA (Infrared Data Association) and the like. The user terminal 3 performs short-range wireless communication with the store terminal 4 via the short-range wireless communication unit 34, for example, when performing settlement using electronic money.

The operation/display unit 35 is configured by, for example, a touch panel display, and has an input function of receiving an operation performed by a finger of a user, a pen, or the like, and a display function of displaying various information under the control of the display control unit 311.

(shop terminal)

The store terminal 4 is installed in, for example, a store (member shop) that can use electronic money. However, the store terminal 4 may be a server that functions as a virtual store (so-called Electronic Commerce website) opened on the internet. The store terminal 4 includes a control unit 41, a communication unit 42, a storage unit 43, and a short-range wireless communication unit 44. The control unit 41, the communication unit 42, the storage unit 43, and the short-range wireless communication unit 44 are physically similar to the control unit 11, the communication unit 12, the storage unit 13, and the short-range wireless communication unit 34.

Hereinafter, display control performed by the display control unit 311 with respect to the operation/display unit 35 in the vehicle sharing system including the vehicle sharing server 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to fig. 4 to 9.

(display control of Settlement Screen)

First, a configuration is adopted in which a user is rented a vehicle by using a car sharing system and operates a user terminal 3 as a car navigation device mounted on the vehicle. Here, in the extension selection screen 35a shown in fig. 4, the control unit 11 receives an extension request for vehicle sharing via the user terminal 3. Specifically, the control unit 11 receives an extension request input by the user selecting the extension button 351. The time for extending the car sharing may be a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes), but the time to be extended may be arbitrarily input by the user.

Then, the control unit 11 calculates the extension fee calculated based on the input extension request. Specifically, when the time for extending the vehicle share is 30 minutes, the control unit 11 calculates the extension fee by multiplying the usage fee per unit time by 30 minutes.

Then, the control unit 11 outputs information obtained by comparing the fee related to the extension of the car pool with the balance of the electronic money registered as the settlement method for the car pool to the display. Specifically, the control unit 11 compares the calculated extension fee with the balance of the electronic money, and outputs a warning message to the display when the extension fee is higher than the balance. Fig. 5 shows an example of the warning display screen 35b that the display control unit 311 causes the operation/display unit 35 to display. In the same figure, it is shown that "if extension is made, the utilization charge will exceed the balance" is displayed in the warning display area 352. Is an extension made? An example of a "yes" or "no" button for accepting a selection of whether or not to extend is displayed in the selection area 353 in the case of such a warning message. As a result, the user can be informed that the extension fee will not be paid with the balance of the electronic money, and the convenience of the electronic money can be improved, and whether or not to extend the electronic money can be easily selected, thereby improving the convenience of the electronic money.

Further, the control unit 11 may calculate a time that can be extended within the range of the balance. Specifically, the control unit 11 divides the remaining amount of the electronic money by the usage charge per unit time to calculate a time that can be extended within the range of the remaining amount, and causes the operation/display unit 35 to display the calculated time. Further, the control unit 11 may cause the operation/display unit 35 to display the time that can be extended several times when the time extended by one extension request is predetermined. Fig. 6 shows an example of the warning display screen 35b that the display control unit 311 causes the operation/display unit 35 to display. In the same drawing, it is shown that "can be extended three times as well" is displayed in the warning display area 352. Is an extension made? An example of a "yes" or "no" button for accepting selection of whether or not to extend is displayed in the selection area 353 in the case of such a warning message. As a result, the user can know how many times the balance of the electronic money is extended, and can easily select whether the balance is extended, thereby improving the convenience of the electronic money.

Further, the control unit 11 may determine whether or not the vehicle can be returned within the remaining amount range. Specifically, the control unit 11 obtains the distance between the current position and the return point of the vehicle. The control unit 11 may acquire the current location based on the position information of the user terminal 3 measured by receiving signals from GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites, or may acquire the current location based on a name, an address, or the like input by the user. The return point of the vehicle is registered in the storage unit 33 in advance. Then, the control unit 11 calculates the time required for returning the vehicle based on the distance between the current location and the return location of the vehicle. The control unit 11 calculates a usage cost required until returning, which is obtained by summing up a distance cost obtained by adding the distance between the current location and the return point of the vehicle and a time cost obtained by adding the distance and the time cost obtained by adding the time required for returning, and determines whether or not the usage cost exceeds the remaining amount, thereby determining whether or not the vehicle can be returned within the range of the remaining amount. If it is determined that the vehicle cannot be returned within the remaining amount range, the control unit 11 outputs a warning message to the display. Fig. 7 shows an example of the warning display screen 35b that the display control unit 311 causes the operation/display unit 35 to display. In the same figure, it is shown that "the utilization charge will exceed the balance" is displayed in the warning display area 352. Please start moving to the return location. "examples of such warning messages. As a result, the user can know that the usage charge including the charge required for movement to the return location exceeds the balance of the electronic money, and the convenience of the electronic money can be improved.

The control unit 11 may receive a request for settlement of a predetermined settlement amount that is generated in association with purchase of a commodity, and determine whether or not the vehicle can be returned within a range of the balance when settlement of the settlement amount is performed. Specifically, when the settlement of the settlement amount is executed based on the settlement request received by the user terminal 3 from the store terminal 4, the control unit 11 may determine whether or not the sum of the settlement amount and the usage charge shared by the automobile exceeds the balance, and determine whether or not the vehicle can be returned within the range of the balance. In this case, the control unit 11 may determine whether or not the vehicle can be returned within the remaining amount, taking into account the usage charge required until the vehicle can be returned in addition to the settlement amount. Fig. 8 shows an example of a warning display screen 35c that the display control unit 311 of the user terminal 3 as a smartphone causes the operation/display unit 35 to display. In the same figure, it is shown that "it will become impossible to pay the utilization fee by the balance is displayed in the warning display area 354. Is a purchase performed? Examples of "yes" or "no" buttons for accepting a selection of whether or not to purchase a product are displayed in the selection area 355 in the case of "such a warning message". As a result, the user can be informed that the vehicle-shared use fee cannot be paid with the balance of the electronic money when the user purchases a product of a predetermined settlement amount, and can easily select whether or not to purchase the product, thereby improving the convenience of the electronic money.

In addition, the control unit 11 may cause the display control unit 311 to display a warning message on the operation/display unit 35 when the sum of the settlement amount and the usage charge shared by the vehicle does not exceed the balance when the settlement of the settlement amount is performed. Fig. 9 shows an example of a warning display screen 35c that the display control unit 311 causes the operation/display unit 35 to display. In the same figure, it is shown that "the available time will become the remaining 30 minutes" is displayed in the warning display area 354. Is a purchase performed? Examples of "yes" or "no" buttons for accepting a selection of whether or not to purchase a product are displayed in the selection area 355 in the case of "such a warning message". As a result, the user can be informed of the time that can be shared by the vehicle when purchasing a product of a predetermined settlement amount, and can easily select whether or not to purchase the product, thereby improving the convenience of the electronic money.

As described above, according to the recording medium, the settlement system, and the settlement server according to the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the convenience of electronic money used for automobile sharing. In addition, even in a settlement server capable of using a plurality of electronic money, information obtained by comparing the usage fee relating to extension of the vehicle share with the balance of the electronic money registered as the settlement method for the vehicle share can be displayed on the display. Thus, convenience of electronic money can be improved.

Further effects and modifications can be easily deduced by those skilled in the art. Therefore, the broader aspects of the present invention are not limited to the specific details and representative embodiments shown and described above. Therefore, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive concept as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
