Abstract

A radio transmission memory card, and a handset transmission electronic transaction system and method using the same, wherein transaction system includes a handset, a memory card, a user identification card, a mobile base station and a transaction terminal, and between the handset, the memory card, the user identification card, the mobile base station and the transaction terminal is provided with a radio transmission circuit structure. When a handset holder proceeds a transactions at the transaction terminal, a transaction message and a confirmation message are sent by both sides, the transaction terminal and the mobile base station respectively; the transaction terminal delivers a purchased product upon receiving the confirmation message and sends a message of completed transaction upon delivery of the product; and the mobile base station sends a message to inform a payment terminal to charge the transaction amount using another radio transmission circuit structure.

Claims

1. A radio transmission memory card for a handset transmission electronic transaction system and method, as a flash memory card comprising a memory card interface, a controller chip and at least one memory chip, and an antenna disposed at an appropriate location of the memory card, wherein the controller chip further comprising a memory card controller, a flash controller unit, and a radio control circuit having and a radio frequency (RF) controller unit and an RF interface.

2. A handset transmission electronic transaction system comprising:

a handset;

a memory card disposed in the handset;

a user identification card disposed in the handset;

a mobile base station;

a transaction terminal providing products required by consumers; and

a radio transmission circuit structure provided between the handset, the memory card, the user identification card, the mobile base station, and the transaction terminal;

wherein when a handset holder proceeds a transaction at the transaction terminal, the transaction terminal sends a transaction message to the mobile base station, the mobile base station sends a confirmation message to the transaction terminal upon confirmation of the transaction content, the transaction terminal delivers a product purchased upon receiving the confirmation message, and the transaction terminal sends a message of completed transaction to the mobile base station upon delivery of the product.

3. The handset transmission electronic transaction electronic system in accordance with claim 2, wherein the memory card is a flash memory card having a memory interface, a controller chip and at least a memory chip, and an antenna is disposed at an appropriate location of the memory card;

wherein the controller chip further comprising a memory card controller, a flash controller unit, and a radio control circuit having and an RF controller unit and an RF interface.

4. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 2, wherein between the mobile base station and a payment terminal is further provided with another radio transmission circuit structure, such that after the transaction terminal sends a message of completed transaction to the mobile base station, the mobile base station sends a message to inform the payment terminal to charge the transaction amount.

5. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 2, wherein the radio transmission circuit structure is disposed in a handset battery.

6. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 2, wherein the radio transmission circuit structure of the handset is a short-distance radio transmission circuit structure.

7. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 2, wherein the user identification card is a flash memory card having a controller chip provided with a radio transmission control circuit and an antenna.

8. A handset transmission electronic transaction method comprising the steps of:

A. forming a transaction system using a handset, a memory car, a user identification card, a mobile base station and a transaction terminal, wherein between the handset, the memory card, the user identification card, the mobile base station and the transaction terminal is provided with a radio transmission circuit structure;

B. sending a transaction message to the mobile base station by the transaction terminal when processing a transaction by the handset holder at the transaction terminal;

C. sending a confirmation message to the transaction terminal upon confirmation of the transaction content by the mobile base station;

D. delivering a purchased product upon receiving the confirmation message by the transaction terminal; and

E. sending a message of completed transaction to the mobile base station by the transaction terminal upon delivery of the product.

9. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 8, wherein between the mobile base station and a payment terminal is further provided with another radio transmission circuit structure, such that after the transaction terminal sends a message of completed transaction to the mobile base station, the mobile base station sends a message to inform the payment terminal to charge the transaction amount.

10. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 9, wherein the payment terminal sends a message of charge to the mobile base station after the mobile base station sends a message to inform the payment terminal to charge the transaction amount, and then the mobile base station sends the message of charge to the handset holder and the transaction terminal.

11. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 8, wherein the user identification card is a flash memory card having a controller chip provided with a radio control circuit and an antenna.

12. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 8, wherein the radio transmission circuit structure is disposed in a handset battery.

13. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 8, wherein the radio transmission circuit structure of the handset is a short-distance radio transmission circuit structure.

14. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 8, wherein when the mobile base station fails to confirm the transaction content, the mobile base station sends a message of incomplete transaction to the handset and the transaction terminal to terminate the transaction, and clears transaction data in the handset and the transaction terminal.

15. The handset transmission electronic transaction system in accordance with claim 8, wherein the memory card is a flash memory card having a memory interface, a controller chip and at least a memory chip, and an antenna disposed at an appropriate location of the memory card;
