First Claim
Patent Images
1. A card settlement method using a portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor connected to a card company'"'"'s card management system via a communication terminal for settling commodity purchase charges or the like comprising:
- confirming the identity of a user by using a portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor to read the user'"'"'s fingerprint check the reading against pre-registered fingerprint data to determine whether or not the user is the owner of said portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor;
if the user is confirmed as the owner of the portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor, using said portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor to encrypt commodity order information and pre-registered card information using a pre-registered transmission public key to generate transaction data, and electronically sign the generated transaction data using a pre-registered personal encryption key;
transmitting said electronically signed transaction data from said portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor to said card management device system; and
at said card management system, decrypting said electronically signed transaction data using a transmission secret key paired with said transmission public key to obtain said commodity order information and settle purchase charges associated with said commodity order.

5. A portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor suitable for connecting to a card company'"'"'s card management system via a communication terminal for settlement of a commodity purchase charges or the like, comprising:
-
(a) a fingerprint sensor;
(b) a storage unit;
(c) an external interface for coupling to said communication terminal; and
(d) a processor for and controlling the operation of these units. Wherein;
(i) said storage unit stores;
a transmission public key and a storage public key provided by said card management system, card settlement information provided to the owner of the portable electronic device having a fingerprint sensor, master fingerprint data, and a personal encryption key;
wherein said card settlement information and said master fingerprint data are stored in an encrypted state using said storage public key; and
(ii) said processor comprises;
(1) a personal encryption key generation means for generating said personal encryption key when said fingerprint sensor reads said master fingerprint data, (2) an identity confirmation means for confirming identity by comparing a fingerprint read by said fingerprint sensor against said master fingerprint data stored in said storage unit, and (3) a transaction data generation and transmission means for encrypting commodity order information and said card settlement information using said transmission public key to secure the transaction data, for electronic signing said generated transaction data using said personal encryption key, and for sending the electronically signed transaction data to said card management system. - View Dependent Claims (6)
