Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] By the way, for example, when registering an account of an employee working at a store such as a convenience store, it is customary for a manager such as a store manager to approve that the employee is a legitimate employee working at the store and then register. In such a case, the workload of a store manager or the like increases, and approval waiting is likely to occur. When approval waiting occurs, there is a risk of problems such as a delay in the start of work of the employee.

[0006] The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and one of its objectives is to provide an account registration system and an account registration method that can reduce the labor required for account registration.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] An account registration system according to one aspect of the present invention includes a first registration number transmission unit that transmits a different first registration number for each store and employee, as well as the system's phone number, to an employee terminal logged in to the system, and a call is made to the system's phone number. When the phone number of the phone terminal that has called matches the store phone number registered in association with the information identifying the store of the employee of the employee terminal, and the input number transmitted from the phone terminal matches the first registration number transmitted to the employee terminal, an account registration unit that registers the account of the employee of the employee terminal.

[0008] An account registration method according to another aspect of the present invention is a method executed by a processor, and includes a step of transmitting a different first registration number for each store and employee, as well as the system's phone number, to an employee terminal logged in to the system, and a call is made to the system's phone number. When the phone number of the phone terminal that has called matches the store phone number registered in association with the information identifying the store of the employee of the employee terminal, and the input number transmitted from the phone terminal matches the first registration number transmitted to the employee terminal, a step of registering the account of the employee of the employee terminal.

[0009] According to these aspects, when the phone number of the phone terminal that has called the system's phone number notified to the employee terminal logged in to the system matches the phone number of the employee's store, and the input number transmitted from the phone terminal that has called the system's phone number matches the first registration number notified to the employee terminal logged in to the system, it is possible to authenticate that the employee of the logged-in employee terminal is a legitimate employee and register an account.

[0010] In the above aspect, when receiving the login ID and password, it further includes an authentication code sending unit that sends an authentication code to the phone number of the employee obtained in advance from the employee terminal with the login ID. The first registration number sending unit may send the first registration number and the phone number of the system to the employee terminal when the input code received after the authentication code is sent by the authentication code sending unit matches the authentication code.

[0011] According to this aspect, when receiving a login request, an authentication code is sent to the phone number of the employee obtained in advance from the employee terminal of the employee. When the authentication code is replied from the terminal that requested the login, the employee of that terminal can be authenticated as a legitimate employee, and the first registration number and the phone number of the system can be notified.

[0012] In the above aspect, it further includes a receiving unit that receives information for specifying a store, the phone number and password of an employee from the employee terminal, a pre-authentication code sending unit that sends a pre-authentication code to the phone number of the employee received by the receiving unit, and a login ID sending unit that issues a login ID and sends it to the employee terminal when the input code received after the pre-authentication code is sent by the pre-authentication code sending unit matches the pre-authentication code. The authentication code sending unit may send an authentication code to the phone number of the employee when receiving the login ID and password after the login ID is sent by the login ID sending unit.

[0013] According to this aspect, when receiving information necessary for account registration, a pre-authentication code is sent to the phone number of the employee included in the received information. When the pre-authentication code is replied from the terminal that sent the information necessary for account registration, the employee of that terminal can be authenticated as a legitimate employee, and the issued login ID can be assigned.

This screen 7a is provided with a column 7b for displaying the employee's login ID newly assigned to the employee. When the employee presses the "Go to Login Screen" button 7c, the screen transitions to the login screen described later.

[0045] Return to the description of FIG. 4. When the authentication code sending unit 114 of FIG. 4 receives the login ID and password from the employee terminal 2 after the login ID is sent by the login ID sending unit 113, the authentication code sending unit 114 sends an authentication code to the phone number of the employee associated with the received login ID. The authentication code can be sent to the employee's phone number using, for example, the Short Message Service. This will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

[0046] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a login screen 8a used when an employee inputs the login ID and password. The login screen 8a is a screen for requesting to log in to the system. The login screen 8a is provided with, as input fields, an input field 8b for inputting the login ID and an input field 8c for inputting the password, by way of example. When the employee presses the "Login" button 8d, the login ID and password input in each input field of the login screen 8a are sent to the account registration system 1.

[0047] Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of a two - factor authentication screen 9a used when an employee inputs the authentication code sent to the employee's phone number after sending the login ID and password. The two - factor authentication screen 9a is provided with an input field 9b for inputting the authentication code, by way of example, as an input field. The employee inputs the authentication code sent to the employee's phone number into this input field 9b. Then, when the employee presses the "Authenticate" button 9c, the content input into the input field 9b is sent to the account registration system 1.

[0048] Returning to the description of Figure 4. The first - time registration number sending unit 115 of Figure 4 sends the first - time registration number and the phone number of the account registration system 1 to the employee terminal 2 when the input code received from the employee terminal 2 after the authentication code is sent to the employee's phone number by the authentication code sending unit 114 matches the authentication code. The first - time registration number is a number that is different for each store and employee. And the first - time registration number is stored in the storage device 1 2 in association with the store number and the employee number.

[0049] The account registration unit 116 registers the employee's account of the employee terminal 2 in the system when the phone number of the store phone terminal 3 called to the phone number of the account registration system 1 matches the phone number registered in association with the store number of that store, and the input number sent from the store phone terminal 3 matches the first - time registration number displayed on the employee terminal 2. The phone number of the representative phone of the store is stored in the store information in association with the store number. The input number sent from the store phone terminal 3 is sent as a tone signal. This will be specifically described with reference to Figure 10.

[0050] Figure 10 is a diagram showing an example of a first - time registration screen 10a showing the procedure for registering an account using the phone number of the account registration system 1 and the first - time registration number. The first - time registration screen 10a is provided with a display column 10b for displaying step 1, a display column 10c for displaying step 2, and a display column 10d for displaying step 3, by way of example.

[0051] In the display column 10b, as procedure 1, "Make a call from the representative phone of the store" is displayed, and as the phone number to call, "050-XXXX-XXXX" is displayed. This phone number is the phone number of the system designated by the account registration system 1. The employee uses the store phone terminal 3, which is the representative phone of the store, to call the phone number "050-XXXX-XXXX", which is the phone number of the account registration system 1.

[0052] In the display column 10c, as procedure 2, "Enter the initial registration number" is displayed, and as the initial registration number, "123456" is displayed. The employee presses the dial button of the store phone terminal 3 according to the voice guidance to enter the initial registration number "123456".

After the employee finishes entering the initial registration number, the employee presses the 'Complete' button 10da according to the voice guidance. As a result, the employee's account on the employee terminal 2 is registered in the system. For example, as the employee's account, the employee number, the employee's name, the employee's phone number, the login ID for the employee, and the employee's password are registered in the employee information.

[0054] [Operation of the Information Processing System] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, an example of the operation when an employee registers an account in the information processing system will be described.

[0055] FIG. 11 is a sequence chart showing an example of the operation until an employee operates the employee terminal 2 to display the initial registration screen 10a of FIG. 10.

[0056] First, the employee terminal 2 displays the account creation screen 5a of FIG. 5 according to the operation of the employee, and accepts the input to each input field and the pressing of the "Create Account" button 5g (step S101).

[0057] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the pressing of the "Create Account" button 5g transmits the content input on the account creation screen 5a to the account registration system 1 (step S102). The content transmitted to the account registration system 1 includes the employee number including the store number, the employee's phone number, and the employee's password. The employee number including the store number, the employee's phone number, and the employee's password are preferably temporarily stored in the storage device 1 2 until the account is registered.

[0058] Subsequently, the pre-authentication code transmission unit 112 of the account registration system 1 transmits a pre-authentication code to the employee's phone number received by the reception unit 111 (step S103).

[0059] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the pre-authentication code displays the phone number authentication screen 6a in FIG. 6 according to the employee's operation, and accepts the input of the pre-authentication code and the pressing of the "Authenticate" button 6c (step S104).

[0060] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the pressing of the "Authenticate" button 6c transmits the content input on the phone number authentication screen 6a to the account registration system 1 (step S105). The content transmitted to the account registration system 1 includes the pre-authentication code entered by the employee in the input field 6b.

[0061] Subsequently, the login ID transmission unit 113 of the account registration system 1 determines whether the pre-authentication code transmitted to the employee's phone number in step S103 matches the pre-authentication code transmitted from the employee terminal 2 in step S105 (step S106). If this determination is NO (step S106; NO), the account registration system 1 notifies the employee terminal 2 that it is an error (step S107).

[0062] In the determination of step S106, when it is determined that the pre-authentication codes of both parties match (step S106; YES), the login ID transmission unit 113 of the account registration system 1 issues a login ID for the employee and transmits it to the employee terminal 2 (step S108). The issued login ID is associated with the employee number, the employee's phone number, and the employee's password and stored in the storage device 1 2.

[0063] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the login ID for the employee displays the login screen 8a in FIG. 8 according to the employee's operation, and accepts the input to each input field and the pressing of the "Login" button 8d (step S109).

[0064] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the pressing of the "Login" button 8d transmits the login ID and password entered on the login screen 8a to the account registration system 1 (step S110).

[0065] Subsequently, the authentication code transmission unit 114 of the account registration system 1 transmits an authentication code to the phone number of the employee associated with the login ID transmitted from the employee terminal 2 in step S110 (step S111).

[0066] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the authentication code displays the two-factor authentication screen 9a in FIG. 9 according to the employee's operation, and accepts the input of the authentication code and the pressing of the "Authenticate" button 9c (step S112).

[0067] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the pressing of the "Authenticate" button 9c transmits the content entered on the two-factor authentication screen 9a to the account registration system 1 (step S113). The content transmitted to the account registration system 1 includes the authentication code entered by the employee in the input field 9b.

[0068] Subsequently, the first registration number transmission unit 115 of the account registration system 1 determines whether the authentication code transmitted to the telephone number of the employee terminal 2 in step S111 matches the authentication code transmitted from the employee terminal 2 in step S113 (step S114). If this determination is NO (step S114; NO), the account registration system 1 notifies the employee terminal 2 that it is an error (step S115).

[0069] If it is determined in the determination of step S114 that the two authentication codes match (step S114; YES), the first registration number transmission unit 115 of the account registration system 1 transmits the first registration number and the telephone number of the account registration system 1 to the employee terminal 2 (step S116). The first registration number transmitted to the employee terminal 2 is associated with the store number and the employee number and stored in the storage device 1 2.

[0070] Subsequently, the employee terminal 2 that has received the first registration number and the telephone number of the account registration system 1 displays the first registration screen 10a in FIG. 10 according to the employee's operation (step S117).

[0071] FIG. 12 is a sequence chart showing an example of the operations until an account is registered after an employee makes a call to the system using the store phone terminal 3, which is the representative phone of the store, while referring to the first registration screen 10a displayed on the employee terminal 2 and is authenticated as a legitimate employee.

[0072] First, the employee refers to the display column 10b of the first registration screen 10a displayed on the employee terminal 2 in step S117 and makes a call from the store phone terminal 3 to the telephone number of the account registration system 1 (step S201).

[0073] Subsequently, the employee presses the dial button of the store phone terminal 3 according to the voice guidance of the called party and inputs the first registration number displayed in the display column 10c of the first registration screen 10a (step S202).

[0074] Subsequently, the store phone terminal 3 that has received the initial registration number transmits a tone signal corresponding to the initial registration number to the account registration system 1 (step S203).

[0075] Subsequently, the account registration unit 116 of the account registration system 1 determines whether the phone number of the store phone terminal 3 that has called the phone number of the account registration system 1 in step S201 matches the representative phone number registered in association with the store number of the employee's store, and whether the initial registration number transmitted from the store phone terminal 3 in step S203 matches the initial registration number displayed on the employee terminal 2 in step S117 (step S204). If this determination is NO (step S204; NO), the account registration system 1 notifies the employee terminal 2 that there is an error (step S205).

[0076] If it is determined in the determination of step S204 that both the phone numbers and the initial registration numbers match (step S204; YES), the account registration unit 116 of the account registration system 1 registers the employee's account of the employee terminal 2 in the system (step S206). The registered employee account includes, for example, an employee number, the employee's name, the employee's phone number, a login ID for the employee, and the employee's password. Then, this operation ends.

[0077] [Effects of the Embodiment] As described above, according to the account registration system 1 according to the embodiment, when the phone number of the phone terminal that has called the phone number of the system notified to the employee terminal 2 logged in to the system matches the representative phone number of the employee's store, and the input number transmitted from the phone terminal that has called the phone number of the system matches the initial registration number notified to the employee terminal 2 logged in to the system, it can be authenticated that the employee of the logged-in employee terminal 2 is a legitimate employee, and an account can be registered.

[0078] Also, when receiving a login request, send an authentication code to the employee's phone number previously obtained from the employee terminal 2 of the employee. When the authentication code is replied from the terminal that made the login request, authenticate the employee of that terminal as a legitimate employee and notify the initial registration number and the system's phone number.

[0079] Furthermore, when receiving information necessary for account registration, send a pre-authentication code to the employee's phone number included in the received information. When the pre-authentication code is replied from the terminal that sent the information necessary for account registration, authenticate the employee of that terminal as a legitimate employee and assign the issued login ID.

[0080] As a result, employees who need to register an account can apply for account registration using the representative phone number of the store without requiring approval processing by the store manager or the like.

[0081] Therefore, according to the account registration system 1 according to the embodiment, it is possible to reduce the labor required for account registration while ensuring security.

[0082] Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. Therefore, the above embodiments are merely illustrative in every respect and should not be construed in a limiting sense. For example, the above-described processing steps can be arbitrarily changed in order or executed in parallel as long as there is no contradiction in the processing content.
