Abstract

To provide an identification information managing system capable of preventing an identification code image indicating identification information on a user from being obtained and used by other people while preventing increase of frequency of update of the identification information. An identification information storage unit (60) stores identification information on a user. A display control unit (74) displays an identification code image indicating the identification information on a display unit of a user terminal (20). A detection unit (62) detects a predetermined event indicating that there is a possibility that the identification code image is obtained by other people while the identification code image is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal (20). An update unit (68) updates the identification information stored in the identification information storage unit (60), based on a result of detection by the detection unit (62). In the case where the identification information is updated, the display control unit (74) displays an identification code image indicating the updated identification information on the display unit of the user terminal (20).

Claims

1. An identification information managing system, comprising:

identification information storage means for storing identification information on a user;

means for displaying an identification code image indicating the identification information on display means of a user terminal;

detection means for detecting a predetermined event indicating that there is a possibility that the identification code image is obtained by other people while the identification code image is displayed on the display means;

update means for updating the identification information stored in the identification information storage means, based on a result of detection by the detection means; and

means for displaying the identification code image indicating the updated identification information on the display means in the case where the identification information is updated.

2. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting the predetermined event, based on a period of time elapsed while the identification code image is displayed on the display means.

3. The identification information managing system according to claim 2, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that a situation in which the identification code image is displayed on the display means continues for a reference period of time, as the predetermined event.

4. The identification information managing system according to claim 2, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that a sum of periods of time during which a same identification code image is displayed on the display means reaches a reference period of time, as the predetermined event.

5. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, wherein

the user terminal includes photographing means for photographing an object opposite to the display means, and

the detection means includes means for detecting the predetermined event, based on a result of determination as to whether or not a predetermined object is appeared on an image photographed by the photographing means while the identification code image is displayed on the display means.

6. The identification information managing system according to claim 5, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that a situation, in which light from a light source of a reading device for reading the identification code image is not appeared on the image photographed by the photographing means, continues for a reference period of time while the identification code image is displayed on the display means, as the predetermined event.

7. The identification information managing system according to claim 5, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that a photographing device is appeared on the image photographed by the photographing means while the identification code image is displayed on the display means, as the predetermined event.

8. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, wherein

the user terminal includes sound input means, and

the detection means includes means for detecting the predetermined event, based on a result of determination as to whether or not a predetermined sound is input from the sound input means while the identification code image is displayed on the display means.

9. The identification information managing system according to claim 8, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that a photographing sound is input from the sound input means while the identification code image is displayed on the display means, as the predetermined event, the photographing sound being output from a photographing device other than the user terminal in the case where the photographing device executes photographing.

10. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting the predetermined event, based on a result of determination as to whether or not processing for obtaining image data is executed in the user terminal while the identification code image is displayed on the display means.

11. The identification information managing system according to claim 10, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that the processing for obtaining the image data is executed in the user terminal while the identification code image is displayed on the display means, as the predetermined event.

12. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, wherein

the user terminal includes motion detection means for detecting a motion of the user terminal, and

the detection means includes means for detecting the predetermined event, based on a result of determination as to whether or not a result of detection by the motion detection means while the identification code image is displayed on the display means is a predetermined result.

13. The identification information managing system according to claim 12, wherein

the detection means includes means for detecting a fact that a situation, in which an amount of change in a result of detection by the motion detection means is equal to or smaller than a reference amount, continues for a reference period of time while the identification code image is displayed on the display means, as the predetermined event.

14. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, further comprising

a server capable of data communication with the user terminal, wherein

the detection means and the update means are included in the server,

the user terminal includes means for sending data necessary to detect the predetermined event to the server,

the server includes means for receiving the data sent from the user terminal, and

the detection means detects the predetermined event, based on the data received from the user terminal.

16. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, wherein

the detection means and the update means are included in the user terminal.

17. The identification information managing system according to claim 1, further comprising:

means for reading the identification code image displayed on the display means, and

authentication processing execution means for executing authentication processing relevant to the identification information indicated by the identification code image, based on content stored in the identification information storage means, in the case where the identification code image displayed on the display means is read.

18. A control method for an identification information managing system, comprising:
