Electronic value exchange system and electronic value exchange method

摘要

The present invention is directed to avoidance of inconvenience arising from application program's incapability of recognizing processing executed on the IC card side, interruption of communication between IC cards, and so on on the occasion of an exchange of electronic values between the IC cards. A portable terminal 20, when receiving an exchange offer message of electronic values from a portable terminal 10, notifies an application program 21 of an exchange offer content based on a listener corresponding to the message. When the application program 21 accepts this offer content and when electronic values V1, V2 are determined as exchange objects, the portable terminal 20 returns an exchange confirmation message of the electronic values. When the portable terminal 10 receives the exchange confirmation message, it notifies an application program 11 of an exchange content based on a listener corresponding to the message. When the application program 11 accepts the exchange content, the exchange transaction of electronic values V1, V2 is started.
