Electronic settlement system, settlement device, and terminal
First Claim
1. A transaction system for transacting through a communication network, comprising:
- a first terminal connecting to the communication network and having an information indicating unit;
a second terminal that is at least one of a cellular telephone and a PDA and having a unique ID information, an antenna and an input unit, said second terminal being connectable to said first terminal through the communication network with said antenna; and
a transaction apparatus communicating with said first and second terminals through the communication network, said transaction apparatus storing said unique ID information of said second terminal in advance, said transaction apparatus setting up and sending a transaction ID information to said first terminal, said transaction apparatus receiving from said second terminal said unique ID information of said second terminal together with said transaction ID information, said transaction apparatus performing the transaction by synchronizing a communication with said first terminal and said second terminal when said unique ID information received from said second terminal is identical with that stored in said transaction apparatus in advance previously and when said transaction ID information received from said second terminal is identical with that set up by said transaction apparatus and sent to said first terminal,wherein said first and said second terminals send and receive messages therebetween via the transaction apparatus during synchronizing.

Abstract
An electronic settlement system for settling a transaction through a communication network comprises a settlement apparatus which performs the settlement of the transaction; a billing terminal connecting to the settlement apparatus via the communication network; and a paying terminal, connecting to the settlement apparatus via the communication network, wherein the settlement apparatus performs the settlement of a transaction by synchronizing a communication to the billing terminal with a communication to the paying terminal when the settlement apparatus sets up a transaction identifying number which identifies the transaction and when the paying terminal transmits the same transaction identifying number to the settlement apparatus.

16. A transaction apparatus for transaction through a communication network with a first terminal having an information indicating unit and a second terminal that is at least one of a cellular phone and a PDA and having a unique ID information, an indicating unit, and an antenna, said second terminal being connectable to said first terminal through the communication network with said antenna, comprising:
-
a user database for storing said unique ID information of said second terminal in advance; a processing unit for setting up a transaction ID information to be indicated on said first terminal, a first communication unit for connecting to the first terminal via the communication network, said first communication unit sending the transaction ID information to the first terminal; and a second communication unit for connecting to the second terminal via the communication network and receiving from said second terminal said unique ID information of said second terminal together with said transaction ID information that is transmitted from the first terminal to the second terminal, wherein said processing unit performs the transaction by synchronizing a communication with said first terminal and said second terminal when said unique ID information received from said second terminal is identical with that stored in said user database, and when said transaction ID information received from said second terminal is identical with that set up by said transaction apparatus and sent to said first terminal, and wherein said first and said second terminals send and receive messages therebetween via the transaction apparatus during synchronizing. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
