1. An authentication system comprising:
- a plurality of receiving terminals for receiving a transaction request from a user;
a mobile communication network for serving a plurality of mobile communication terminals;
a first location memory storage device for storing a location of each of said plurality of terminals;
a second location memory storage device for storing a location of each of said plurality of mobile communication terminals;
a matching device for obtaining from said first location memory storage device a location of a receiving terminal which has received a transaction request, and for obtaining from said second location memory storage device a location of a mobile communication terminal, transmitting the transaction request, and matching each of said locations; and
an authentication device for determining a validity of said transaction request based upon a result obtained by said matching device upon comparing said locations.

Abstract
To utilize credit, a user possesses credit card 10 and mobile station 50. Location matching server 70 detects a location of mobile station 50 which a user possesses, and a shop which accepts credit utilized by the user. If these locations do not accord, it is judged that a user at a shop possesses credit card 10 but does not possess mobile station 50, and so is not the proper owner of credit card 10.

9. An authentication system comprising:
-
a plurality of receiving terminals for receiving a transaction request by reading, from an identification card storing identification information of a user, identification information of the user;
a first location storing device for storing location information of each receiving terminal and identification information of each of said receiving terminals as corresponding to each other;
a second location storing device for storing location information of a mobile communication terminal of each user and identification information of each of said user as corresponding to each other;
a matching device for matching location information of said receiving terminal with location information of a mobile communication terminal, location information of said receiving terminal being read out as a key which is identification information of an receiving terminal which received said transaction request from said first location memory device read out as a key which is identification information of a user who transmitted said transaction request from said second location memory device;
an authentication device for determining authenticity of said user based upon a match result by said matching device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20)

15. An authentication method for determining authenticity of a user who possesses a mobile communication terminal served in a mobile communication network, the method comprising:
-
a step of receiving a transaction request from a user at each receiving terminal;
a first location finding step for finding a location of an receiving terminal which has received said transaction request;
a second location finding step for finding a location of a mobile communication terminal which should be possessed by a user who transmitted said transaction request;
a step for matching the location of said receiving terminal found by said first location finding step with the location of said mobile communication terminal found by said second location finding step; and
a step for determining authenticity of a transaction request based upon a result given by said matching step.

19. An authentication method for determining authenticity of a user who possesses a mobile communication terminal served in a mobile communication network, comprising:
- a step of receiving a transaction request at each receiving terminal by reading out identification information of this user from an ID card in which identification information of a user is stored;
a step of reading out location information of this receiving terminal based upon a key which is identification information of an receiving terminal which has received said transaction request from data which identification information of each receiving terminal has stored in relation to location information of said each receiving terminal beforehand;
a step of reading out location information of a mobile communication terminal which this user should possess based upon a key which is identification information of a user who has transmitted said transaction request from data in which identification information of each user has been stored in relation to location information of a mobile communication terminal beforehand;
a step of matching said location information of receiving terminal which was read out with said location information of a mobile communication terminal which was read out;
an authentication step of determining authenticity of said user based upon a result of said match.
- a step of receiving a transaction request at each receiving terminal by reading out identification information of this user from an ID card in which identification information of a user is stored;

21. An authentication program for determining authenticity of transaction request by a user who possesses a mobile communication terminal served in a mobile communication network wherein a computer prompts the program to execute;
-
a first process of location finding for finding a location of said each receiving terminal which has received said transaction request when each receiving terminal has received a transaction request of a user;
a second location finding process for finding a location of a mobile communication terminal which a user who transmitted said transaction request should possess;
a match process for matching a location of said receiving terminal which was found by said first location finding process with a location of said mobile communication terminal found by said second location finding process; and
an authentication process for determining authenticity of said user based upon said match result. - View Dependent Claims (23)
