A distance communication unit may be provided.

The storage unit 151 includes a system area 151a in which basic programs and data such as access control used mainly by the control unit 150 are stored, and a user in which programs and data used by the USIM 15 users for various applications are stored. Region 151b.
The system area 151a also stores an applet that is a relatively small program having an event listener function that detects and notifies various events that occur in the processing of the communication terminal device 10 and the processing of the USIM 15. Yes. As the event listener applet, for example, a “CREL” applet defined in “global platform” described later can be used.

The user area 151b stores an NFC applet that is a relatively small-size program that complies with, for example, the NFC standard as a plurality of application programs downloaded from the management server at the time of use registration. The NFC applet is "Java Card Runtime Environment" U ICC that is specified by the "Global Platform" built on (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) applet described later, card emulation of a plurality of types of payment cards below This is an NFC applet corresponding to the rate function.

  The user area 151b also stores information on predetermined usage conditions for using the application downloaded from the management server at the time of usage registration for each NFC applet corresponding to a plurality of applications.

  The state management information for managing the valid and invalid states of a plurality of NFC applets used by the user of the USIM 15 is set as a parameter value called “Activation State” which is property information of the NFC applets. Has been. This active state parameter has a value “Activate” or “1” indicating an effective state (also referred to as “active state”) that can be executed by the corresponding NFC applet, and an invalid state that the NFC applet cannot be executed. A value “Deactivate” or “0” indicating a state (also referred to as “inactive state”) can be taken.

  The user area 151b is a safe area (also referred to as “SE: Secure Element” or “SD: Secure Domain”) that can be accessed only by users and servers having specific authority. In the present embodiment, in order to realize a card emulation function for emulating a payment card (plastic card, IC card) such as a credit card or an electronic money card in the user area 151b by communicating with the R / W device 30. NFC applet which is a program of the above and card information which is user-specific information are stored. Here, the card emulation function can use the communication terminal device 10 for payment for payment of goods and services in the same manner as a payment card (plastic card, IC card) such as a normal credit card or electronic money card. This is the function that I did.

  When emulating payment by a plurality of payment cards, the NFC applet and card information stored in the user area 151b are stored in different areas for each payment card, and each payment service provider issuing the payment card Access rights are managed. In the example of FIG. 3, the NFC applet and card information of each of the three types of payment cards (A card, B card, C card) are stored in different areas. For example, the payment service provider issuing the A card is , Only the NFC applet A and A card information in the area set for the A card can be accessed.

Table 1 is a list showing an example of NFC applet status management information for each of a plurality of types of payment cards (A card, B card, C card) managed with the above-described NFC applet parameter “active state”. “1” in the status management information column in Table 1 indicates that the NFC applet is active and executable and the card emulation function of the payment card by the NFC applet can be used. On the other hand, “0” indicates that the NFC applet is inactive and cannot be executed, and the card emulation function of the payment card by the NFC applet cannot be used.

  In the example of Table 1, for example, when the status management information of the A card and the B card managed by the parameter “active state” of the NFC applet is “0”, the card emulation function of the A card and the B card is Invalid and cannot be used. On the other hand, when the status management information of the C card managed by the parameter “active state” of the NFC applet is “1”, the card emulation function of the C card is valid and can be used.

  The value of the active state parameter of the NFC applet is dynamically controlled so as to change based on the detection results of various events corresponding to a predetermined usage condition. For example, an NFC applet can be executed when a first event that satisfies a predetermined usage condition set in advance is detected, and an NFC applet cannot be executed when a second event that does not satisfy the predetermined usage condition is detected. As described above, the value of the active state parameter of the NFC applet is dynamically changed.

  As the predetermined use condition, for example, any one of the following conditions 1 to 7 can be set, or any combination of these conditions 1 to 7 can be set.

Condition 1: The current position of the communication terminal device 10 is located on a specific position or area or a specific route of transportation.

Note that FIG. 5 is an example when registration of use of the electronic payment service of the C card, which is a credit card, but this processing example can be similarly applied to other NFC services other than the electronic payment service. .

  In FIG. 5, first, when the user operates the communication terminal device 10 to activate a browser and accesses a card selection WEB site, a card selection screen 161 as shown in FIG. 6A is displayed. When the user performs an operation of selecting a C card on the card selection screen 161, a user interface (UI) application for using the electronic payment service of the C card is downloaded to the communication terminal device 10, and the user's operation is performed. Or automatically. When the downloaded UI application is activated, a usage registration screen 162 for the C card electronic payment service shown in FIG. 6B is displayed. When a predetermined operation for requesting use registration of the C card electronic payment service is performed on the use registration screen 162, a service use registration request is transmitted from the communication terminal device 10 to the MNO-TSM server 20.

  After performing a predetermined authentication process, the MNO-TSM server 20 transmits the C card NFC applet C used when using the C card electronic payment service to the communication terminal device 10.

  Next, the communication terminal apparatus 10 transmits a use registration request to the SP-TSM server 25 of the card settlement service provider of the C card via the MNO-TSM 20. The SP-TSM server 25 executes a predetermined authentication process based on the use registration request, and then executes a use registration process of the electronic payment service of the C card for the user of the communication terminal device 10, and the user's C User-specific data including card information and usage conditions of the card is transmitted to the communication terminal device 10.

  The user-specific information of the C card received by the communication terminal device 10 is sent to the USIM 15 and written in an area set for the C card in the user area 151b of the storage unit 151. Thereafter, a screen 163 for completion of use registration of the C card electronic payment service shown in FIG. 6C is displayed on the communication terminal device 10. When the user performs a predetermined confirmation operation on this use registration completion screen, as shown in FIG. 6D, use registration of the electronic payment service for the C card that can be used only when a specific use condition is satisfied is completed. A screen 164 indicating that this has been done is displayed.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of control for dynamically changing the value of the active state parameter of the NFC applet in the communication terminal device 10 according to the present embodiment.

In FIG. 7, first, the user operates the communication terminal device 10 to activate a user interface (UI) application for using the NFC service.
After the UI application is activated, the main body of the communication terminal apparatus 10 refers to the use condition of the NFC applet stored in the USIM 15 in association with the UI application at a predetermined timing set in advance.
Next, the main body of the communication terminal device 10 detects the occurrence of a predetermined event corresponding to the use condition based on the above-mentioned use condition of the NFC applet.
Here, the main body of the communication terminal apparatus 10 generates the NFC applet so that the program of the NFC applet can be executed when the first event that satisfies the usage conditions occurs and the first event is detected. A control command for changing the value of the active state parameter of “Activate” (or “1”) to the USIM 15 is transmitted. The USIM 15 changes the value of the active state parameter stored in association with the NFC applet to the specified “Activate” (or “1”) based on the control command received from the main body of the communication terminal device 10. Control is performed (S104).
On the other hand, the main body of the communication terminal apparatus 10 generates the NFC applet so that the NFC applet program can be executed when a second event that does not satisfy the use conditions occurs and the second event is detected. A control command is transmitted to the USIM 15 to change the value of the active state parameter to “Deactivate” (or “0”). The USIM 15 changes the value of the active state parameter stored in association with the NFC applet to the designated “Deactivate” (or “0”) based on the control command received from the main body of the communication terminal device 10. Control is performed (S105).
The detection of the occurrence of the event, the determination of the event, and the active state parameter setting change control are continuously performed at predetermined timings (for example, while the UI application is activated) (S106, S102 to S105). ).

  With the control of dynamically changing the value of the active state parameter of the NFC applet as described above, the NFC applet with NFC short-range wireless communication can be used only when a predetermined usage condition set in advance is satisfied.

  Next, a more specific example of the occurrence of an event in the control of FIG. 7 will be described in the case where the use conditions are condition 1 to condition 7.

<Condition 1>

  The main body of the communication terminal device 10 generates the first event when, for example, the current position is determined to be a specific position, and the first time when the current position is determined to be out of the specific position. Two events are generated. In this case, the specific NFC applet can be activated only when the communication terminal device 10 is located at a specific position.

  When the main body of the communication terminal device 10 determines that the current position is in a specific area (for example, a work area or an area defined by a service called a geofence), the main event is received. The second event may be generated when it is determined that the current position is out of a specific area. In this case, the specific NFC applet can be activated only when the communication terminal device 10 is located in a specific area.
