Abstract
In a settlement system comprising an IC card terminal (a transaction medium terminal), a settlement terminal and a settlement server, IC card based settlement processing that the IC card terminal has so far executed, is distributed to the settlement terminal and the settlement server as well. The distribution would reduce load of processing by the IC card terminal, and because of the reduced load, the IC card terminal would not anymore require a CPU with a high processing capability or a large capacity of memory, contributing to low-costing of the IC card terminal, and eventually, allowing the total settlement system to embody low-costing.
Claims12
A settlement system, which can execute settlement processes corresponding to a plurality of settlement functions, and which executes settlement processing using a transaction medium that stores information of at least one settlement function, the settlement system comprising:
- a transaction medium processing terminal to communicate with the transaction medium;
