It relates to an electronic money charging system using a two-dimensional code payment system for laundry stores that can charge electronic money to an electronic money card for use.
In addition, in this specification, the following terms are used and interpreted by the following definitions. A two-dimensional code is a code that has information in two directions, vertical and horizontal, and QR codes are widespread, but not limited to this.
Security information refers to information that has a function of protecting information from eavesdropping and falsification, and passwords, URLs that can be connected only once (Uniform Resource Locator), and the like are known.
One-time security information refers to information that is valid only once or security information that is valid only for a predetermined time.
Terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish between devices and do not affect the interpretation of the scope of rights.

As the first prior art, the provider of the product or service displays the transaction information such as the payment amount and the payment account by using a two-dimensional code or the like, and the customer uses the camera (imaging) function of the user terminal. An electronic money system that acquires a two-dimensional code and makes a payment is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
As a second conventional technique, in a coin laundry, a QR code is read using a camera of a mobile phone, and an e-mail with the information of the QR code attached is sent to a management server, so that various benefits can be obtained without using a point card. Is known to be granted (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
As a third prior art, it is known that an IC card issuing charging machine is used in a coin laundry in the application of the present applicant (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
