Abstract
A financial transaction system includes a bank server, an authentication code transfer server, and an ATM. The bank server generates an authentication code in response to a request message received from a mobile terminal. Then the bank server transmits the authentication code to the mobile terminal. The authentication code transfer server receives the authentication code from the mobile terminal and forwards the authentication code to the ATM which then transmits the authentication code to the bank server for transaction authentication. The bank server performs transaction authentication by comparing the code received from the ATM with the code previously generated by the bank server. The ATM dispenses cash according to transaction information entered by a user using the mobile terminal upon receipt of a transaction approval message from the bank server.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

A claim for priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 is made to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2020-0042687 filed on Apr. 8, 2020, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.


BACKGROUND

Embodiments of the inventive concept described herein relate to a financial transaction method that enhances security and improves a user's convenience by entering transaction information and performing authentication using a user's mobile terminal, a transaction system using thereof.


Conventionally, most of the banking services that have been done by humans are being substituted by machines. In particular, in the banking services, financial transaction equipments represented by Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have been installed not only in banks, but also in places with a large floating population and many users may conveniently deposit or withdraw cash or may conveniently make money transfers. Besides, financial transaction services using ATMs such as money transfers, payments of utility bills, and the like have been recently expanded beyond simple deposit and withdrawal services.


Nowadays, banks are trying to increase a user's convenience while reducing the manpower necessary to perform financial services, by automating more financial services using ATMs. Specifically, the user's convenience needs to be increased such that users utilize ATMs more frequently. However, increasing the user's convenience may weaken security functions due to the characteristics of financial transactions.


For example, many banks have recently provided services for withdrawing cash from ATMs with only the account number and password without a cash card or bankbook. In this case, the owner of an account is authenticated by using only the account number and password, and thus there may be a security concern. Accordingly, to prevent the leakage of an account number and password, caution notices saying such that “Enter numbers while covering your hand entering the numbers” are posted on ATM.


In the meantime, even in the case where cash is withdrawn using a cash card (ATM card), when anyone has the cash card and knows the password of the cash card, he/she may withdraw cash from the account or may perform a money transfer to another person's account, and thus there is a high security concern. In addition, the cash card is used for transactions in a so-called fake bankbook, which is an account opened in the name of another person, thereby increasing the risk of various pieces of financial transaction fraud.


Therefore, there is a need for a method of increasing the user's convenience while security is enhanced upon using financial transaction automation equipments.


SUMMARY

In an embodiment of the inventive concept, it is possible not only to enhance the security of financial transactions, but also to increase a user's convenience, by entering transaction information and performing authentication through a smartphone, instead of directly entering the transaction information into the financial transaction equipment.


According to an exemplary embodiment, a financial transaction system includes a bank server, an authentication code transfer server, and an ATM. The bank server receives an authentication request message from a mobile terminal, generates an authentication code in response to the request message, and transmits the authentication code to the mobile terminal. The authentication code transfer server then receives an authentication code transfer message from the mobile terminal where the authentication code transfer message includes the authentication code and transaction information entered by a user using the mobile terminal. The transaction information may include a withdrawal amount, an account number of a bank account subject to a cash withdrawal, and bill type information. The ATM receives a transaction request message including the authentication code and the transaction information from the authentication code transfer server, transmits an authentication request message including the authentication code to the bank server, and dispenses cash according to the transaction information received from the bank server. The bank server performs transaction authentication by comparing the authentication code received from the ATM and the authentication code previously generated by the bank server.


The financial transaction system may further include an ATM ID providing unit providing an ID of the ATM when the user tags the mobile terminal to the ATM ID providing unit and the ATM ID may be included in the authentication code transfer message received by the authentication code transfer server to identify the ATM. The authentication code transfer server may generate commands to be executed by the ATM when the authentication code transfer message is received from the mobile terminal. The ATM may execute the commands and display the transaction information on a screen for user confirmation.

When the user selects the Mobile Withdrawal item, the smartphone 41 and the ATM 42 display a window for user authentication for cash withdrawal from ATM 42 (5d, 6b).


The user authentication is performed through the smartphone 41 by tagging the smartphone 41 to the ATM ID providing unit 44 installed in the ATM 42, according to the guide of the smartphone 41 and/or the ATM 42.


Meanwhile, when there is a need to enhance security, or when the withdrawal amount is more than a specific amount, additional authentication may be performed, and a transaction code for additional authentication may be displayed on the smartphone 41 of the user (5e).


When the user enters the transaction code transmitted to the smartphone 41 into the ATM 42 (6c), the additional authentication is completed. When the user confirms the transaction information (6d), cash is withdrawn from the ATM 42.



FIG. 7 is a signal processing diagram illustrating a process of withdrawing cash from an ATM using a smartphone, according to the procedure illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6.


Referring to FIG. 7, a user runs a bank application to withdraw cash from the ATM 42 using the smartphone 41 (S701), and the smartphone 41 accesses the bank server 43 to perform user authentication (S702).


The user enters transaction information for a cash withdrawal such as a withdrawal amount, bill type, account number, and the like into the smartphone 41 through the bank application (5b, S703). Moreover, to enhance security, it is possible for the user to additionally enter an account password (5c).


The smartphone 41 transmits an authentication code request message for requesting to generate an authentication code to the bank server 43 (S704), wherein the authentication code request message may include the transaction information and a smartphone number of the smartphone 41. When the bank server 43 receives the authentication code request message, the bank server 43 generates and stores an authentication code corresponding to the smartphone number (S705), and transmits the authentication code to the smartphone 41 (S706).


At this time, it is preferable that the bank server 43 generates and transmits the authentication code on a one-time basis whenever the authentication code request message is received from the smartphone 41.


When the user selects a Mobile Withdrawal item (button) among various financial transaction items (6a) displayed on the screen of ATM 42 (S707) and tags the smartphone 41 to the ATM ID providing unit 44 installed in the ATM 42 (5d, 6b), the smartphone 41 obtains an ATM ID from the ATM ID providing unit 44 (S708). Herein, the ATM ID providing unit 44 may use any scheme as long as the ATM ID providing unit 44 is a device capable of providing the smartphone 41 with the ATM ID. For example, a QR code or barcode can be applied. However, it is most preferable to use Near Field Communication (NFC) for user convenience, and thus an embodiment of the inventive concept is exemplified as a tag method using NFC is applied.


When the smartphone 41 obtains the ATM ID from the ATM ID providing unit 44 (S708), the smartphone 41 transmits a smartphone number, the authentication code received from the bank server 43, and the ATM ID to the authentication code transfer server 45. Herein, the smartphone number, the transaction code, and the ATM ID may be transmitted through an authentication code transfer message (S709). At this time, the transaction information may be transmitted to the authentication code transfer server 45, and it may be included in the authentication code transfer message.


The authentication code transfer server 45 receiving the authentication code transfer message determines to which ATM the authentication code, the phone number, and the transaction information are to be transferred, by referring to the ATM ID included in the authentication code transfer message, and generates commands to be executed in the corresponding ATM (S710). In addition, the authentication code transfer server 45 transmits a transaction request message including the commands to be executed in the ATM 42, the authentication code, the smartphone number, and the transaction information to the ATM (S711). Also, the commands, the authentication code, the smartphone number, and the transaction information may be transmitted to the ATM 42 respectively.


When the ATM 42 receives the transaction request message from the authentication code transfer server 45, the ATM 42 transmits the smartphone number and the authentication code to the bank server 43 (S712). At this time, the smartphone number and the authentication code may be transmitted through an authentication request message. Also, the transaction information may be transmitted through the authentication request message for a banking process. The authentication request message may be transmitted by executing the received commands.


When the bank server 43 receives the smartphone number and the authentication code from the ATM 42, the bank server 43 determines whether the received authentication code matches with the authentication code corresponding to the smartphone number previously generated by the bank server 43 in step S705 (S713).


That is, the bank server 43 performs authentication by determining the authentication code corresponding to the smartphone number matches with the stored authentication code corresponding to the smartphone.


When the bank server 43 authenticates the authentication code and the smartphone number, the bank server 43 transmits a transaction approval message to the ATM 42 (S714).


When the ATM 42 receives the transaction approval message, the ATM 42 executes the commands received through the transaction request message (S715). The commands may be executed by a software agent program installed in the ATM 42. Alternatively, the commands may be executed by a firmware in the ATM 42 or microprocessor installed in the ATM 42 inside.


For example, when the software agent program in the ATM 42 executes the commands, each field of a window on the ATM screen is filled with the transaction information such as a withdrawal amount, bill type, account number and the like, as illustrated in 6d of FIG. 6. The user does not need to manually input the transaction information into the ATM 42, because the transaction information is automatically inputted by executing the commands. That is, the user inputs the transaction information into the smartphone 41, instead of inputting the information into the ATM 42, because, as explained above, the transaction information is delivered to the ATM 42 via the authentication code transfer server 45.


When the ATM 42 displays a window 6d as illustrated in FIG. 6 showing the transaction (withdrawal) information included in the transaction request message by executing the commands (S715), the user checks each item of the transaction information such as the withdrawal amount and bill type. The user confirms the transaction information shown on the screen of ATM 42 by pressing the confirmation button on the ATM 42 (S716).


When the confirmation is completed, the ATM 42 ejects cash corresponding to the transaction information (S717).


According to the above process, if the user enters the transaction information for cash withdrawal into the smartphone 41 and tags the smartphone 41 into the ATM ID providing unit 44, then the ATM 42 shows the window 6d as illustrated in FIG. 6, even without entering the information for cash withdrawal into the ATM 42.


Accordingly, not only security may be enhanced, but also user's convenience may be increased, by skipping the authentication process performed by entering information such as an account number and PIN to the ATM 42.


In the above process, the transaction information for cash withdrawal such as a withdrawal amount, account number, bill type, and the like is displayed on the screen of the ATM 42 by using the smartphone 41, and it is also possible to use the smartphone 41 for the authentication of transaction.



FIG. 8 is a signal processing diagram illustrating a process of withdrawing cash from the 42 ATM using the smartphone 41, according to the procedure illustrated in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6.

Referring to FIG. 8, a user runs a bank application to withdraw cash from the ATM 42 using the smartphone 41 (S801), and the smartphone 41 accesses the bank server 43 to perform user authentication (S802).


The user enters transaction information for cash withdrawal, such as a withdrawal amount, bill type and account number, and the like into the smartphone 41 using the bank application (5b, S803). Moreover, to enhance security, it is possible for the user to additionally enter an account password for a financial transaction (5c).


The smartphone 41 transmits an authentication code request message for requesting to generate an authentication code to the bank server 43 (S804), wherein the authentication code request message may include the transaction information and a smartphone number. Upon receiving the authentication code request message, the bank server 43 generates and stores an authentication code corresponding to the smartphone number (S805) and transmits the authentication code to the smartphone 41 (S806).


At this time, it is preferable that the bank server 43 generates and transmits the authentication code on a one-time basis whenever the authentication code request message is received from the smartphone 41.


When the user selects the Mobile Withdrawal item (button) among various financial transaction items (6a) displayed on the ATM 42 (S807) and tags the smartphone 41 to the ATM ID providing unit 44 installed in the ATM 42 (5d, 6d), the smartphone obtains an ATM ID from the ATM ID providing unit 44 (S808). Herein, the ATM ID providing unit 44 may use any scheme as long as the ATM ID providing unit 44 is a device capable of providing the smartphone 41 with the ATM ID. For example, a QR code or barcode can be applied. However, it is most preferable to use a Near Field Communication (NFC) method for user convenience, and thus an embodiment of the present invention is exemplified as a tag method using NFC is applied.


When the smartphone 41 obtains the ATM ID from the ATM ID providing unit 44 (S808) the smartphone 41 transmits a smartphone number, the authentication code received from the bank server 43, and the ATM ID to the authentication code transfer server 45. Herein, the smartphone number 41, the transaction authentication code, and the ATM ID may be transmitted through an authentication code transfer message (S809). At this time, the transaction information may be transmitted to the authentication code transfer server 45, and it may be included in the transaction authentication code transfer message.


The authentication code transfer server 45 receiving the authentication code transfer message determines to which ATM the authentication code, the phone number, and the transaction information are to be transmitted, by referring to the ATM ID included in the authentication code transfer message, and generates commands to be executed by the corresponding ATM (S810). In addition, the authentication code transfer server 45 transmits a transaction request message including the commands to be executed by the ATM 42, the authentication code, the smartphone number, and the transaction information to the ATM 42 (S811). Also, the commands, the authentication code, the smartphone number, and the transaction information may be transmitted to the ATM 42 respectively.


When the ATM 42 receives the transaction request message from the authentication code transfer server 45, the ATM 42 transmits the smartphone number and the authentication code to the bank server 43 (S812). At this time, the smartphone number and the authentication code may be transmitted through an authentication request message. Also, the transaction information may be transmitted through the authentication request message for a banking process. The authentication request message may be transmitted by executing the received commands.


When the bank server 43 receives the smartphone number and the authentication code from the ATM 42, the bank server 43 determines whether the received authentication code matches with the previously generated authentication code corresponding to the smartphone number by the bank server (S813).


That is, the bank server 43 performs authentication by determining whether the authentication code corresponding to the smartphone number matches with the stored authentication code corresponding to the smartphone 41.


When the bank server 43 authenticates the authentication code and the smartphone number, the bank server 43 generates and stores a transaction code (S814) corresponding to the smartphone 41 and transmits the generated transaction code to the smartphone 41 (S815).


The smartphone 41 receives the transaction code and displays the received transaction code on the window 5e as illustrated FIG. 5 (S816).


When the bank server 43 transmits a transaction code request message to the ATM 42 (S817), the ATM 42 shows a message requesting to enter the transaction code received from the bank server 43 (S818).


The user enters the transaction code displayed on the smartphone 41 to the ATM 42, and the ATM 42 transmits the transaction code to the bank server 43 (S819).


When the bank server 43 receives the transaction code from the ATM 42, the bank server 43 check whether the received transaction code is identical to the stored transaction code corresponding to the smartphone 41 (S820).


If the received transaction code is identical to the stored transaction code corresponding to the smartphone 41, then the bank server 43 transmits a transaction approval message to the ATM 42 (S821).


When the ATM 42 receives the transaction approval message, the ATM 42 executes the commands received through the transaction request message (S822). The commands may be executed by a software agent program installed in the ATM 42. Alternatively, the commands may be executed by a firmware or a microprocessor installed in the ATM 42 inside.


For example, when the software agent program in the ATM 42 executes the commands, by each field of a window on the ATM screen is filled with the transaction information such as a withdrawal amount, bill type, account number and the like, as illustrated in 6d of FIG. 6. The user does not need to manually input the transaction information into the ATM 42, because the transaction information is automatically inputted by executing the commands. That is, the user inputs the transaction information into the smartphone 41, instead of inputting into the ATM 42, because, as explained above, the transaction information is delivered to the ATM 42 via the authentication code transfer server 45.


When the ATM 42 displays a window 6d as illustrated in FIG. 6 according to the transaction (withdrawal) information included in the transaction request message by executing the commands (S822), the user checks each item of the transaction information such as the withdrawal amount and bill type. The user confirms the transaction information shown on the screen of ATM 42 by pressing the confirmation button on the ATM 42 (S823).


When the confirmation is completed, the ATM 42 ejects cash corresponding to the transaction information (S824).


The embodiment shown in FIG. 8 is exemplified as security is enhanced with the transaction code, thereby enabling users and bank to perform more secure financial transactions.
