Abstract

A payment relay system according to the present disclosure may allow even a PG server, which is unable to access (use) account information or card information, to process a payment for a cost and a wire transfer by using a key value of an online ID, which substitutes for a bank account or a credit card, and is configured in a form of file or by a combination of numbers and characters. Also, the payment relay system can also minimize a separate change or the demand on devices for processing such payment manner.

Claims

1. A payment relay system comprising:

a financial institution registration module that is configured to register financial institution information including a card company name or a bank name and a card name or a bank account name of a user of a mobile terminal, and phone information matched with the financial institution information, the phone information including user login information or a phone number of the user mobile terminal;

an access relay module that is configured to provide the mobile terminal with an interface screen, on which a list of cards or bank accounts useable for a payment is displayed for user selection, and an access path toward a card company or bank selected by the user, when the mobile terminal logs in for the payment; and

an online ID management module that is configured to request for card information related to an online ID having a specific key value, corresponding to one selected credit card or bank account, from a financial institution server of the selected card or bank account, and acquire the key value of the online ID generated in the financial institution server in response to the request, when the one credit card or bank account is selected by the user of the mobile terminal from the list of cards or bank accounts displayed on the interface screen,

wherein the access relay module allows the mobile terminal to substitute the online ID for one of the credit card and the bank account to execute the payment through the access path provided.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the online ID management module provides the corresponding financial institution server with the card company or bank account selected by the user of the mobile terminal and the user phone information or the login information, and requests for issuing a one-off online ID for acquisition.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the financial institution server stores the information provided from the online ID management module and information related to the generated one-off online ID in a matching manner.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the financial institution server invalidates the issued online ID when the issued one-off online ID is not used for payment for more than a predetermined time.

8. The system according to claim 1, wherein the user mobile terminal provides the phone number related thereto or login information to a recipient mobile terminal, to which a cost is to be transferred, at the moment of paying for the cost.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the recipient mobile terminal requests for the payment by providing the phone number or the login information provided from the user mobile terminal, and member store information pre-stored therein, to the financial institution server through the access relay module.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the user mobile terminal comprises a near field communication (NFC) chip for short range wireless communication, and uses the NFC chip to provide the phone number of the user mobile terminal or the login information upon performing the login to the recipient mobile terminal, to which the cost is to be transferred, in a wireless manner.

11. The system of claim 10, wherein the recipient mobile terminal is a card reader,

wherein the card reader requests for the payment by providing the phone number of the user mobile terminal or the login information, a member store code allocated thereto, member store information, and information on the cost to be paid to the financial institution server through the access relay module.

12. The system according to claim 1, wherein the user mobile terminal receives a member store code and information on the cost to be paid from the recipient mobile terminal, to which the cost is to be transferred, and

wherein the user mobile terminal requests for the payment by providing the received member store code, the information on the cost to be paid, and the online ID information acquired from the online ID management module, to the financial institution server through the access relay module.

5. A payment relay system comprising:

a financial institution registration module that is configured to register financial institution information including a card company name or a bank name and a card name or a bank account name of a user of a mobile terminal, and phone information matched with the financial institution information, the phone information including user login information or a phone number of the user mobile terminal;

an online ID management module that is configured to provide the financial institution information and the phone information to financial institution servers of the card companies or banks registered in the financial institution registration module, request for generating a plurality of online IDs, which match the plurality of registered cards or bank accounts, respectively, and acquire the requested online IDs for storage; and

an access relay module that is configured to provide the mobile terminal with an interface screen, on which a list of cards or bank accounts useable for a payment is displayed for user selection, and an access path toward a card company or bank selected by the user, when the mobile terminal logs in for the payment,

wherein the access relay module selects an online ID stored in the matching manner with one selected card or bank account when the one card or bank account is selected by the user of the mobile terminal from the list of cards or bank accounts displayed on the interface screen, and the mobile terminal substitutes the online ID for one of the card and the bank account to execute the payment through the access path provided.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the financial institution server stores the information provided from the online ID management module and information related to the generated online ID in the matching manner.

7. The system of claim 5, wherein the financial institution server updates the generated online ID information at a predetermined period and provides the updated online ID information to the online ID management module.

13. A payment relay method comprising:

an information registering step of storing and registering financial institution information including a card company name or bank name and a card name or bank account name, associated with a user of a mobile terminal, and phone information matched with the financial institution information, the phone information including user login information or a phone number of the mobile terminal;

an information receiving step of receiving the phone information from the user mobile terminal;

a list displaying step of displaying on the mobile terminal a list of financial institution information registered in the matching manner with the received phone number;

a card selecting step of determining whether or not a card name or a bank account name to be used is selected from the list displayed in the list displaying step;
