Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of financial communication technology, and more particularly, to a monitoring system and method capable of monitoring the location in use of an electronic device such as mobile POS terminal, etc.

BACKGROUND

In a financial payment field, a mobile POS machine that can be conveniently used is becoming popular with more and more traders. However, a very important problem that arises is that more and more illegal traders are involved in illegal activities such as cash out by applying for a POS machine and using it trans-regionally. Such a potential risk is called machine-moving risk.

In the prior art, there are two following technologies for monitoring the machine-moving risk.

The first technology detects the machine-moving risk by, for an existing dial POS machine, comparing a long-distance area code of the address of the traders in the profile information of traders with the collected dialed number of the terminal. Since the mobile POS machine operates on a mobile network rather than a dial network, such a technology can not be used on a mobile POS machine. Moreover, only a different long-distance area code can be identified through this technology which compares a long-distance area code. A machine-moving activity that happens in the same area can not be determined by this technology.

The other technology detects the proportion of a local card in the transactions that are completed in the POS machine. Again, such a technology can not identify a machine-moving activity that happens in the same area. Moreover, such a technology is based on a statistical activity and the detection can not be made until a substantial transaction data is obtained, thus failing to prevent the risk in time. In addition, in areas where tourists are populated, a very large proportion of non-local cards generally does not mean a machine-moving activity. Therefore, an erroneous determination may be made.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Some of many embodiments of the invention will be described below for the purpose of providing a basic understanding of the invention. It is not intended to identify any essential or crucial element of the invention or limit the scope of protection.

First Embodiment

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a structure of the machine-moving monitoring system for mobile POS terminal according to the invention.

The machine-moving monitoring system for mobile POS terminal according to the invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the machine-moving monitoring system for mobile POS terminal according to the invention comprises a mobile POS terminal 100, a transaction server 200, a machine-moving risk monitoring device 300, a location server 400, a base station location database 500 and a trader profile database 600, wherein the mobile POS terminal 100 acquires the base station information of the current base station where the mobile POS terminal is located by sending a request information to a surrounding base station 700, and uploads the base station information and the POS terminal information altogether to the transaction server 200 when conducting the transaction; the base station location database 500 stores the actual location information of the base station in unique correspondence to the base station information; the trader profile database 600 stores the trader location information of the trader in unique correspondence to the trader information; the transaction server 200 forwards the base station information and the POS terminal information received from the mobile POS terminal 100 to the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300; the location server 400 is communicatively connected between the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300 and the base station location database 500; the location server 400 retrieves, from the base station location database, actual location information of the base station corresponding to the base station information according to the base station information from the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300, and returns the actual location information of the base station to the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300; the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300 acquires the base station information and the POS terminal information from the transaction server 200, sends the acquired base station information to the location server and returns the acquired actual location information of the base station from the location server. On the other hand, the trader location information is retrieved from the trader profile database 600 according to the acquired POS terminal information. The actual distance between the current base station and the trader is calculated according to the actual location information of the base station and the trader location information. If the actual distance exceeds the specified distance, it is determined that there is a machine-moving behavior.

The mobile POS terminal 100, a transaction server 200, a machine-moving risk monitoring device 300, a location server 400, a base station location database 500 and a trader profile database 600 of the machine-moving monitoring system for mobile POS terminal according to the invention will be described specifically as follows.

The mobile POS terminal 100 is a mobile POS machine of the trader. The mobile POS terminal 100 uses a SIM card provided by telecommunication operator to be connected to a wireless communication network of the telecommunication operator. The mobile POS terminal 100 acquires base station information in the two ways. In the first way, the mobile POS terminal 100 continuously sends request information to the surrounding base station 700 after the SIM card is inserted into the mobile POS terminal 100 so as to acquire base station information of the current base station where the mobile POS terminal is located, and stores the base station information acquired from the base station 700 in a temporary memory of the mobile POS terminal 100. In the second way, the mobile POS terminal 100 sends request information to the surrounding base station 700 at the same time of uploading transaction information to the transaction server 200 when the POS terminal 100 is conducting the transaction so as to acquire the base station information of the current base station where the mobile POS terminal is located. Herein, the base station information comprises MCC (Mobile Country Code, MNC (Mobile Network Code), LAC (Location Area Code), current base station ID (CID, Cell ID).

When the mobile POS terminal 100 is conducting a transaction, the mobile POS terminal 100 uploads basic transaction information, mobile POS terminal information and the above base station information (MCC, MNC, LAC and CID) to the transaction server 200; wherein the mobile POS terminal information comprises POS terminal ID and the trader ID to which the POS terminal belongs; the basic transaction information refers to information that is relevant to the content of transaction, such as amount of transaction, ID of transaction card, password of transaction, time of transaction, etc.

When the base station information is acquired in the above first way, at the same time of uploading the basic transaction information and the mobile POS terminal information to the transaction server 200 by the mobile POS terminal 100, it is only required to upload the base station information stored in the memory of the mobile POS terminal 100 together, and it is not required to send request information to the base station to acquire base station information, thus also saving time of transaction handling.

The transaction server 200, upon receipt of the uploaded information, handles a normal transaction request. At the same time, the transaction server 200 sends the base station information and the mobile POS terminal information to the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300.

On the other hand, the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300, upon receipt of the mobile POS terminal information and the base station information, sends the base station information to the location server 400. The location server 400, upon receipt of the base station information, searches a unique base station from the base station location database 500 according to the base station information (MCC, MNC, LAC and CID), and returns the actual location, the longitude and the latitude of the base station to the location server 400. Herein, the actual location of the base station refers to a physical location of the base station.

The location server 400 returns the actual location, the longitude and the latitude of the base station to the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300.

The machine-moving risk monitoring device 300 searches and acquires the location information, the longitude and latitude of trader corresponding to the mobile POS terminal from the trader profile database 600 according to the POS terminal information (the mobile POS terminal ID and the trader ID to which the mobile POS terminal belongs). Here, the location information of trader may be the specific house number.

In the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300, the longitude and latitude of trader acquired from the trader profile database 600 are set to be Lat1, Lng1, the longitude and latitude of the base station where the mobile POS terminal 100 is located, acquired from the location server 400, are set to be Lat2, Lng2, and the actual distance Dis between the mobile POS terminal 100 and the trader is calculated as follows:

(1) since the acquired longitude and latitude are in the format of angle, the angle format is firstly transformed into a radian format:

the longitude and latitude of trader in the radian format is

$\left(\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lat}1=\frac{\mathrm{Lat}1\times \pi }{180.0},\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lng}1=\frac{\mathrm{Lng}1\times \pi }{180.0}\right),$

the longitude and latitude of mobile POS terminal in the radian format is

$\left(\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lat}2=\frac{\mathrm{Lat}2\times \pi }{180.0},\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lng}2=\frac{\mathrm{Lng}2\times \pi }{180.0}\right),$

(2) the actual distance is calculated as follows:

$2\times \arcsin \sqrt{\begin{array}{c}{\sin }^2\frac{\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lat}1-\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lat}2}{2}+\cos \left(\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lat}1\right)\times \cos \left(\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lat}2\right)\times \\ {\sin }^2\frac{\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lng}1-\mathrm{Rad}\mathrm{Lng}2}{2}\times 6378137.0\end{array}};$

The machine-moving risk monitoring device 300 determines whether the above calculated actual distance Dis is within the preset range according to a preset furthest distance by which the mobile POS terminal 100 can be away from the trader.

If the actual distance Dis exceeds the preset range, it is determined that a machine-moving behavior has happened; and if the actual distance Dis is within the preset range, it is determined that there is no machine-moving behavior.

As described above, in the machine-moving monitoring system for mobile POS terminal according to the invention, the situation in which the mobile POS terminal is not being used in a specified range can be effectively monitored more quickly and accurately than the existing methods. Especially, by calculating the actual distance between the mobile POS terminal and the trader and determining whether the actual distance exceeds the preset range, whether machine-moving has happened can be determined with a very high accuracy of determination result.

a sub-step S104-2 in which the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300 searches and acquires the location information, the longitude and latitude of trader corresponding to the mobile POS terminal from the trader profile database 600 according to the POS terminal information; and

a sub-step S104-3 in which the location information, the longitude and latitude of trader are returned to the machine-moving risk monitoring device 300.

A machine-moving determining step S105: an actual distance between the base station 700 and the trader is calculated according to the actual location information of the base station and the trader location information, and it is determined that a machine-moving behavior has occurred if the actual distance exceeds a specified distance. Here, the actual location information of the base station at least comprises the longitude and latitude of actual location of the base station, the trader location information at least comprises the longitude and latitude of trader.
