Abstract
A first communication terminal receives, from a second communication terminal, use request information indicating a request by a user for using a particular service of one or more services provided by a provider. The first communication terminal transmits to a management system information indicating an amount of currency information for using the particular service, and provides the particular service to the second communication terminal in response to reception of a notification from the management system, the notification indicating completion of transfer of currency information from the user to the provider for the indicated amount.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- a first communication terminal communicably connected with a blockchain system that manages currency information, the first communication terminal including first circuitry;
- a second communication terminal communicably connected with the first communication terminal, the second communication terminal including second circuitry;
- and
- a management apparatus including third circuitry configured to transmit an application link to the first communication terminal, wherein
- the first circuitry receives the application link from the management apparatus and transmits the application link to the second communication terminal,
- the second circuitry is configured to
- transmit use request information indicating a use request for using a particular service to the first communication terminal in response to a user operation on the second communication terminal,
- receive the application link from the first communication terminal,
- activate the application link to output a payment screen via a display,
- receive a user input to the payment screen, the user input indicating the use request information,
- generate payment information indicating a usage fee of the particular service corresponding to the use request information, and
- transmit the payment information to the first communication terminal, the first circuitry is configured to
- receive the use request information from the second communication terminal,
- display a screen including a button for accepting the use request from the first communication terminal,
- transmit a request for application to the management apparatus in response to operating the button,
- receive the payment information,
- transmit the payment information to the blockchain system,
- receive a notification from the blockchain system, the notification indicating completion of payment of the usage fee of the particular service, and
- provide the particular service to the second communication terminal in response to reception of the notification from the blockchain system, and
- the second circuitry is restricted from directly communicating with the blockchain system.
A communication terminal communicably connected with a blockchain system that manages currency information and a user terminal which is restricted from directly communicating with the blockchain system, the communication terminal comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- receive, from the user terminal, use request information indicating a use request for using a particular service;
- display a screen including a button for accepting the use request from the user terminal;
- transmit a request for application to a management apparatus in response to operating the button;
- receive an application link from the management apparatus;
- transmit the application link to the user terminal, the application link causing the user terminal to display a payment screen when activated;
- receive, from the user terminal, payment information generated by the user terminal, wherein the payment information indicates a usage fee for using the particular service, the particular service corresponding to use request information;
- transmit the payment information to the blockchain system;
- receive a notification from the blockchain system, the notification indicating completion of payment of the usage fee of the particular service;
- and
- provide the particular service to the user terminal in response to reception of the notification from the blockchain system.
A method for providing a service, performed by a communication terminal communicably connected with a blockchain system that manages currency information and a user terminal which is restricted from directly communicating with the blockchain system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the user terminal, use request information indicating a use request for using a particular service;
- displaying a screen including a button for accepting the use request from the user terminal;
- transmitting a request for application to a management apparatus in response to operating the button;
- receiving an application link from the management apparatus;
- transmitting the application link to the user terminal, the application link causing the user terminal to display a payment screen when activated;
- receiving, from the user terminal, payment information generated by the user terminal, wherein the payment information indicates a usage fee for using the particular service, the particular service corresponding to use request information;
- transmitting the payment information to the blockchain system;
- receiving a notification from the blockchain system, the notification indicating completion of payment of the usage fee of the particular service;
- and
- providing the particular service to the user terminal in response to reception of the notification from the blockchain system.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors on a communication terminal to perform a method for providing a service, the communication terminal being communicably connected with a blockchain system that manages currency information and a user terminal which is restricted from directly communicating with the blockchain system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the user terminal, use request information indicating a use request for using a particular service;
- displaying a screen including a button for accepting the use request from the user terminal;
- transmitting a request for application to a management apparatus in response to operating the button;
- receiving an application link from the management apparatus;
- transmitting the application link to the user terminal, the application link causing the user terminal to display a payment screen when activated;
- receiving, from the user terminal, payment information generated by the user terminal, wherein the payment information indicates a usage fee for using the particular service, the particular service corresponding to use request information;
- transmitting the payment information to the blockchain system;
- receiving a notification from the blockchain system, the notification indicating completion of payment of the usage fee of the particular service;
- and
- providing the particular service to the user terminal in response to reception of the notification from the blockchain system.
