Abstract
The present invention relates to a mobile settlement system for performing settlement by a mobile terminal, which improves efficiency and convenience of self-service service apparatuses. A mobile communication device performs, via a network, settlement for the service received from a service providing apparatus having no network communication function. The mobile communication device receives, via the network, control information of a management server causing the service providing apparatus to execute the service and transmit the same to the service providing apparatus. Therefore, there is no need to insert money into the service providing apparatus nor need to collect such money. The service providing apparatus need not have a bill or coin detector, thereby reducing its manufacturing cost. The management server can control the service providing apparatus and keep up on with the use conditions of service providing apparatuses in real time without establishing a network between the management server and the service providing apparatuses.
