Toll road toll paying method and apparatus using a portable terminal, and a storage medium thereof

A computer-readable storage medium on which is recorded a program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• determining whether or not a user is pre-registered based on user information and position information, which are transmitted from each gate, if a transmission source is a gate at an entry;
• and
• permitting passage and recording a use start point if the user is pre-registered as a result of the determination, and verifying the user and calculating a toll based on a use end point, the recorded use start point, and a pre-stored toll table if the transmission source is a gate at an exit.

A toll road toll paying method, comprising:

• transferring a signal received from a portable terminal from a dedicated gate arranged at each entry/exit of a toll road to a server, if the signal includes a toll road use signal;
• and
• charging by the server a toll based on the toll road use signal.

A server, comprising:

• a determining unit determining whether or not a signal that a dedicated gate arranged at each entry/exit of a toll road receives from a portable terminal includes toll road use determination information, when the signal and position information of the gate are transmitted from the dedicated gate;
• and
• a charging unit charging a toll based on user information and the position information, which are included in the signal, if said determining unit determines that the signal includes the toll road use determination information.

A server, comprising:

• a receiving unit receiving a signal that is received from a portable terminal by a dedicated gate arranged at each entry/exit of a toll road, and includes toll road use determination information, and position information of the dedicated gate, which are transmitted from the dedicated gate;
• and
• a charging unit charging a toll based on user information and the position information, which are included in the signal.

A propagation signal for propagating a program to a computer for a toll road toll payment, the program causing the computer to execute:

• determining whether or not a signal received from a portable terminal includes a toll road use signal, when the signal is transferred from a dedicated gate arranged at each entry/exit of a toll road;
• and
• charging a toll based on the toll road use signal, if the signal is determined to include the toll road use signal.

A server, comprising:

• determining means for determining whether or not a signal that a dedicated gate arranged at each entry/exit of a toll road receives from a portable terminal includes toll road use determination information, when the signal and position information of the gate are transmitted from the dedicated gate;
• and
• charging means for charging a toll based on user information and the position information, which are included in the signal, if said determining means determines that the signal includes the toll road use determination information.
