Electronic commercial transaction support method

Abstract: An electronic commercial transaction support method capable of smoothly and safely performing an electronic commercial transaction on a communication network and an electronic commercial transaction support server for realizing it are disclosed. The system for the electronic commercial transaction support method includes a communication terminal (2) of commodity purchase desirer side connected to a virtual store (40) on the communication network and requesting for a commodity purchase by a credit card, an electronic commercial transaction server (46) installed in the virtual store (40) for deciding whether to establish an electronic commercial transaction according to a credit check of the credit card, and an electronic commercial transaction support server (44) which requests, via the communication network (32), the communication terminal (2) to transmit unique number data in an IC card (10) and converts the received unique number data into a credit card number so as to create credit limit data and transmit credit-enabled/disabled data to the electronic commercial transaction server (46).

Display unit and electronic apparatus

Abstract: A display unit comprising an organic layer between a light-emitting section portion of a first electrode layer and a light-emitting section portion of a second electrode layer. Light is emissible from within the organic layer. An aperture-defining insulating film is between a contact section of the first electrode layer and a gap section portion of the second electrode layer. The thickness of the gap section portion of the second electrode layer is greater than the thickness of the light-emitting section portion of the second electrode layer.

Charge-coupled device image sensor

Abstract: A charge-coupled device image sensor has a base of resin having a mount area on an upper surface with a charge-coupled device chip being connected to the mount area, leads mounted on the base and connected to the charge-coupled device chip through bonding wires, and a cover of resin joined to the upper surface of the base and having a downwardly open recess housing the charge-coupled device chip and the bonding wires. The leads include respective inner leads having respective joints connected to the bonding wires, the inner leads having portions, except the joints, embedded in the base, and respective outer leads extending from the inner leads.

Person authentication system, person authentication method and program providing medium

Abstract: A person authentication system includes a person identification authority. In the system, a service provider, a user device, or the like performs person authentication by acquiring a template from a person identification certificate created by the person identification authority, which is a third-party agency.
