Google Wallet is a mobile payment system developed by Google that allows its users to store debit cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, and gift cards among other things, as well as redeeming sales promotions on their mobile phone. Google Wallet can use near field communication (NFC) to "make secure payments fast and convenient by simply tapping the phone on any PayPass-enabled terminal at checkout." Google demonstrated the app at a press conference on May 26, 2011. The app was released in the United States only on September 19, 2011. The service works with the 300,000 plus MasterCard PayPass merchant locations, with Visa licensing their Visa payWave system to Google for use in Wallet as of September 20, 2011. On May 15, 2013, Google announced the integration of Google Wallet and Gmail, allowing users to send money through Gmail attachments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.w3reports.com/2013/05/15/attach-real-money-in-gmail-with-google-wallet )〕 Like the main service, Google Wallet's Gmail integration is also currently only available in the US, to those 18 or older. On February 23, 2015, Google announced that it would acquire the intellectual property of the carrier-backed competitor Softcard and integrate it into Google Wallet, and that AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile US, and Verizon Wireless would bundle the Google Wallet app on their compatible devices. The effective merger aims to build a stronger competitor to Apple Pay mobile payment service.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theverge.com/2015/2/23/8091407/google-wallet-softcard-partnership )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cnet.com/news/google-wallet-softcard-partner-on-mobile-payments/ )〕 The new service is known as Android Pay. ==Device availability== Google Wallet is currently available on the following devices: Phones *Apple * *iPhone (Sending money only, Tap to pay does not work) *HTC * *HTC One SV (running Android 4.1 or newer) on Boost Mobile * *HTC One on Sprint * *HTC One (M8) * *HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint (Wallet works, Tap to Pay does not) * *HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE on Verizon *LG * *LG Viper 4G LTE on Sprint and Zact Mobile * *LG Optimus Elite on Sprint, Virgin Mobile and Zact Mobile * *LG Nexus 4 GSM/HSPA+ on Google Play * *LG Nexus 5 on Google Play * *LG G4 *Sony * *Xperia Z3 * *Xperia Z3+ *Motorola * *Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD on Google Play * *Motorola Moto X * *Motorola Nexus 6 *Samsung * *Samsung Galaxy Axiom on US Cellular * *Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Sprint * *Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSPA+ * *Samsung Galaxy Note II on AT&T, Sprint, US Cellular and Verizon * *Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Sprint, T-Mobile * *Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T * *Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE on Sprint and Virgin Mobile * *Samsung Galaxy S III on Sprint, MetroPCS, US Cellular, Virgin Mobile and Boost Mobile (Wallet works, Tap to Pay does not)〔 * *Samsung Galaxy S4 on Sprint, US Cellular, and Google Play Edition * *Samsung Galaxy S5 * *Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint * *Samsung Galaxy S6 * *Samsung Galaxy Note5 Tablets *Asus Nexus 7 (2012 and 2013〔Due to the 2013 variant lacking a Secure Element in its NFC hardware (), the application which enables NFC payments is not ordinarily available, as of November 2013 must be sideloaded (), and must be updated to KitKat.〕 variations) *Samsung Nexus 10 International Devices At this time, Google Wallet does not support devices purchased outside the United States. The eligible device list above only applies to devices purchased from the listed carriers next to them. For example, an unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII purchased internationally will not work with Google Wallet. Google plans to produce NFC stickers associated with one credit card each, to be affixed to non-NFC-capable phones. Two methods for providing money to the service are advertised, Citi Mastercards and ''Google Prepaid Card,'' which can be loaded using any major credit card. During Google Wallet's unveiling at NYC headquarters, Google also touted the openness of their new system. Google said it will partner with all vendors of non-Android phones, including Apple, BlackBerry, and Microsoft. On December 6, Verizon announced it is not blocking Google Wallet on its Galaxy Nexus phones, despite rumors: "Google Wallet does not simply access the operating system and basic hardware of our phones like thousands of other applications. Instead, to work as designed by Google, Google Wallet must be integrated into a new, secure and proprietary hardware element in our phones." said a Verizon rep. This was believed true because Verizon plans to roll out its own payment system, ISIS, in partnership with AT&T and T-Mobile in 2012. Supported phones include the (Sprint, Verizon and Play Store) Galaxy Nexus, LG Viper 4G LTE, LG Optimus Elite. The Sprint Galaxy S III and Nexus 7 also offer Google Wallet. Unofficially, it runs on all US variants of the Galaxy S III. In order to expand Google Wallet's coverage across major mobile carrier networks and enable Wallet acceptance at more merchant locations, Google plans to introduce a physical card that will work in conjunction with Google Wallet. In doing so, Google follows the lead of PayPal and various payment startups, including Wallaby Financial, Protean Payment, and iCache International. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Google Wallet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
