Abstract

An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a payment system for realizing by means of a portable terminal a settlement environment capable of safe and easy settlement, without being restricted to a payment machine.

The present disclosure provides a payment system for executing settlement of goods or services, through a portable terminal of a user that receives the goods or services, the system comprising: a) setting means for setting as a settlement area a range in which a distance between an actual payment destination of the goods or services and the portable terminal is a prescribed distance; b) existence determination means for extracting the distance between the actual payment destination and the portable terminal, and determining whether or not the position of the portable terminal exists in the settlement area; and c) settlement environment supply means for generating a settlement manipulation screen through which settlement instruction information relating to the actual payment destination is input, in accordance with results of the existence determination, and realizing a settlement environment in the portable terminal.

Claims

1. A payment system for executing settlement of goods or services, through a portable terminal of a user that receives the goods or services, the system comprising:

a) a setter that sets as a settlement area a range in which a distance between an actual payment destination of the goods or services and the portable terminal is a prescribed distance;

b) an existence determiner that extracts the distance between the actual payment destination and the portable terminal, and determines whether or not the position of the portable terminal exists in the settlement area; and

c) a settlement environment supplier that generates a settlement manipulation screen through which settlement instruction information relating to the actual payment destination is input, in accordance with results of the existence determination, and realizes a settlement environment in the portable terminal.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the actual payment destination is a payment machine for the goods or services.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein settlement information from the settlement environment and settlement information from the payment machine are synchronized.

2. A payment system for executing settlement of goods or services, through a portable terminal of a user that receives the goods or services, the system comprising:

a) a setter that sets as a settlement area a range which a beacon from a beacon device corresponding to an actual payment destination for the goods or services reaches with a strength that is at least a prescribed threshold value;

b) an existence determiner that extracts the beacon, analyzes the received beacon, extracts a transmitter ID and an electric field strength and makes an existence determination of whether or not the position of the portable terminal exists in the settlement area, through whether or not the electric field strength of the beacon that is the transmitter is at least as great as the set threshold value; and

c) a settlement environment supplier that generates a settlement manipulation screen through which settlement instruction information relating to the actual payment destination is input, in accordance with results of the existence determination, and realizes a settlement environment in the portable terminal.
