ELECTRONIC MONEY SERVER, ELECTRONIC MONEY SERVER PROGRAM, RECORDING MEDIUM, AND LOSS PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

The objective of the present invention is, with respect to a portable terminal which is provided with an electronic money function, to facilitate restoration of an original state if a portable terminal has been discovered, while preventing unauthorized usage of electronic money at a time of loss for a portable terminal which is provided with an electronic money function. If a portable terminal is lost, an electronic money server is accessed from a second terminal in order to perform a loss lock request. The electronic money server turns ON a loss lock flag corresponding to an electronic money ID in order to output a negative flag ON instruction for an electronic money function unit (12) at a point at which access has been made from the portable terminal. For the electronic money function unit (12), by turning ON a negative flag, the electronic money function unit is locked so that settlements and charges are disabled. If the lost portable terminal is found, access is made from the second terminal to the electronic money server in order to make a recovery request so that the electronic server outputs a negative flag OFF instruction by way of access from the portable terminal. The electronic money function unit (12), by turning OFF the negative flag, performs restoration of the original state.
