The store terminal 13 is a POS (Point of sales information) terminal provided in each store of the company A, and stores information on the point card 31 of the company A and the barcode attached to the product, It is read by the reading device 14. On the point card 31, a barcode obtained by converting the identifier of the point card 31 is printed. Each point card 31 can be identified by reading the barcode with the reading device 14. Further, based on the data transmitted from the management server 11, the printing device 15 outputs a printed receipt 32.
[0027]
The management server 11 transmits and receives various information such as a guide letter to and from the customer terminal 16 via the network I. The customer terminal 16 is, for example, a personal computer, a mobile phone, or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and can be connected to the network I. Furthermore, the customer terminal 16 includes a display unit such as a display for displaying information received from the management server 11, a browser, and input means such as a keyboard and buttons.
[0028]
The management computer 12 includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM, and the like (not shown), and executes various programs and processes data. The management server 11 includes a customer information storage unit 21, an accumulated point information storage unit 22, a target person information storage unit 23 as a storage device, a winner information storage unit 24, and the like. The data stored in each of the storage units 21 to 24 can be extracted and updated by the management computer 12.
[0029]
Next, the data configuration of each of the storage units 21 to 24 of the management server 11 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 2, customer data 21 a is stored in the customer information storage unit 21 for each point card 31. This customer data 21a is stored when the customer acquires the point card 31. In the present embodiment, customer data 21a is preset. The customer identifier is an identifier assigned to the point card 31 individually. The name is the name of the customer. The address is a customer's address (including a delivery address such as a guide postcard). The contact information is customer contact data, such as an e-mail address or a telephone number. In addition to this, various information such as the date of birth and sex of the customer is stored in the customer data 21a for the purpose of marketing and the like.
[0030]
The accumulated point information storage unit 22 stores accumulated point data 22a for each point card 31, as shown in FIG. The accumulated point data 22a includes a customer identifier and the accumulated number of points. In addition, information on purchase trends such as when and at what store what has been purchased and various information such as point acquisition history by purchase. Including. The accumulated number of points is accumulated according to the purchase price of the product when the customer presents the point card 31 when purchasing the product. The accumulated point number is updated every time a customer purchases a product. The customer identifier is an identifier assigned to each customer, and is associated with the customer identifier of the customer data 21a. In the present embodiment, “1 point” is converted to “1 yen”, and the accumulated points can be used for purchasing products at each store of Company A.
[0031]
As shown in FIG. 4, target person data 23 a is stored in the target person information storage unit 23 for each lottery target person (customer). The target person information storage unit 23 stores, as a target person, a customer who has purchased a predetermined amount (first predetermined value X1) at the time of purchase, and a lottery unit calculated corresponding to the points acquired by the target person Stores a number of chance codes. The chance code is composed of, for example, a plurality of alphanumeric characters. The number of lottery units is calculated according to the purchase amount of one time. Specifically, the number of points given to the customer at that time is divided by a preset second predetermined value X2, and the quotient is set as the lottery unit number. That is, the management computer 12 gives (stores) one chance code to the subject for each second predetermined value X2. The target person identifier is an identifier assigned to each target person, that is, a customer, and is associated with the customer identifier of the customer data 21a.
[0032]
For example, when the first predetermined value X1 is 5000 yen and the second predetermined value X2 is 5000 yen, if the purchase amount of the customer A is 6000 yen, the customer A is registered as a lottery person, and the lottery unit The number will be one. If the purchase amount of customer B is 12,000 yen, customer B is registered as a lottery person, and the number of lottery units is two.
[0033]
The chance code is based on the accumulated number of points in a predetermined target period (for example, 1 day or several days), and is given by the number of quotients obtained by dividing the accumulated number of points by 5000 yen (second predetermined value X2). Also good.
[0034]
In the winner information storage unit 24, as shown in FIG. 5, winner data 24a is stored for each lottery subject (customer). In the winner data 24a, the subject identifier of the winner when the lottery is performed, the winning grade, the prize, and the like are recorded. The winner data 24a is recorded as many as the number of prizes (X3) prepared in advance. The target person identifier is an identifier assigned to each target person, that is, a customer, and is associated with the customer identifier of the customer data 21a.
[0035]
Further, the receipt 32 printed by the printing apparatus 15 is provided with a notification column 32a as shown in FIG. In this notification column 32a, a message 320 for all customers who use the point card 31 and messages 321, 322, and 323 within the lottery target period are printed. During the lottery target period, the message 321 is printed for all customers, the message 322 is printed for all lottery subjects, and the message 323 is printed for lottery subjects having a plurality of chance codes. The management computer 12 reads the barcode of the point card 31 to identify the customer, extracts the number of lottery units of the target person from the target person data 23a based on the target person identifier, and transmits it. Then, the store terminal 13 receives the lottery unit data and the printing device 15 prints the contents on the receipt 32.
[0036]
Next, the procedure in which the management computer 12 performs the lottery process will be described with reference to FIGS.
First, the management computer 12 performs the notification process shown in FIG. 7 during the lottery target period.
[0037]
The company A store terminal 13 reads the barcode of the customer's point card 31 by the reading device 14, and then reads the barcode of the product purchased by the customer. Then, the salesperson inputs from the store terminal 13 that the transaction is to be executed. The store terminal 13 transmits the customer identifier and product identifier read by each barcode to the management server 11. Upon receiving this, the management computer 12 of the management server 11 extracts the unit price of the product as a purchase price from a product unit price storage unit (not shown) based on the product identifier.
[0038]
Then, the management computer 12 performs the notification process shown below for each received product identifier. First, as shown in FIG. 7, the management computer 12 sets the purchase amount as the number of points, and stores the number of acquired points associated with the purchase of the product in the accumulated point information storage unit 22 (step S1).
[0039]
Then, it is determined whether or not the product purchase time is within a predetermined period (step S2). If the product purchase time is within a predetermined period (step S2, YES), it is determined whether or not the product purchase price (the number of acquired points at that time) is equal to or greater than a first predetermined value X1 (step S2). S3).
[0040]
If the purchase time is not within the predetermined period (step S2, NO), receipt printing is performed by the printing device 15 (step S2-1). At this time, the receipt 32 shown in FIG. 6 is printed with only the message 320 written in the notification column 32a.
[0041]
If the merchandise purchase price is greater than or equal to the first predetermined value X1 (step S3, YES), the management computer 12 registers the customer as a lottery target person in the target person information storage unit 23 and sets the number of points at this time The lottery unit is calculated based on the chance code, and a chance code corresponding to the number is given to the target person (step S4). Specifically, the number of points is divided by the second predetermined value X2, and the quotient is calculated as the number of lottery units. This step S4 corresponds to a subject registration stage and a lottery unit calculation stage.
[0042]
Note that if the purchase price of the product does not reach the first predetermined value X1 (step S3, NO), the purchaser does not fall under the lottery target person. For this reason, the purchaser is not registered in the target person information storage unit 23. At this time, only the messages 320 and 321 are printed in the notification column 32a of the receipt 32 (step S3-1).
[0043]
Then, after the chance code is given to the subject in step S4, the management computer 12 transmits information, the information is received by the store terminal 13, and the receipt printing is performed by the printing device 15 (step S5). . At this time, in the notification column 32a of the receipt 32, messages 320 and 321; a message 322 indicating that the purchaser falls under the lottery target person; and a message indicating the number of lottery units assigned to the purchaser at that time 323 is printed (see FIG. 6). Step S5 corresponds to a printing stage.
[0044]
Thereafter, when the lottery target period ends, the management computer 12 performs a winner determination process shown in FIG. The winner determination process is started by executing a winner determination process program (not shown) in the management computer 12.
[0045]
First, as shown in FIG. 8, the management computer 12 extracts a subject identifier and a chance code from the subject data 23a in the subject information storage unit 23 (step S11).
[0046]
Next, the management computer 12 performs a lottery process on the lottery target person (step S12). Then, based on the stored random number data 12a, a winning code is randomly generated, and a target person who is given a matching chance code is determined as a winning person. At this time, the management computer 12 stores the target person identifier and the winning grade of the target person who won the lottery in the winner information storage unit 24 as the winner data 24a. Step S12 corresponds to a lottery stage, an output stage, and a winner storage stage.
[0047]
Here, the method for determining the winner in the lottery process may be any method. For example, the lottery unit number is divided by the fourth predetermined value X4, and the equal difference jump is performed by the fifth predetermined value X5. You may carry out by the method to. If it does so, while being able to perform a lottery process simply, generation | occurrence | production of a winner's duplication can be suppressed.
[0048]
Next, the management computer 12 determines whether or not a specific target person has been won in duplicate (step S14). Specifically, the management computer 12 determines whether or not a specific target person is stored as the winner data 24 a in the winner information storage unit 24. At this time, if the data corresponding to the determined subject is not included in the winner data 24a (step S14, YES), the data of the subject is added as new data to the winner information storage unit 24. Then, the winner is notified (step S15). Specifically, the management computer 12 extracts a corresponding target person identifier from the winner information storage unit 24, extracts a contact address from the customer information storage unit 21 based on the target person identifier, and makes a contact. Then, the management computer 12 creates an e-mail that informs the customer (the elected target person) that he / she has won, and transmits it to the customer terminal 16 via the network I. Or the management computer 12 creates the information for the mail of the said content.
[0049]
In step S14, if there is matching data in the winner information storage unit 24, the target person has already won and will be won in duplicate (step S14, NO). For this reason, the data of the subject for whom the determination has been made is invalid and is not newly added to the winner information storage unit 24. Step S14 corresponds to an invalidation stage. Thereafter, the process returns to before step S13, and it is determined whether or not the next target person in the target person information storage unit 23 has been elected.
[0050]
In this way, the management computer 12 sequentially determines whether or not the target person stored in the target person information storage unit 23 has been won based on the winner information storage unit 24 while preventing duplicate winners.
[0051]
After notifying that the winner has been won in step S15, it is determined whether or not there is a response from the winner (step S16). Then, person confirmation is performed based on whether or not the response content matches the customer data 21a. If it is confirmed that the contents match, the customer is confirmed as a winner (step S17). Step S17 corresponds to a winner determination stage. When the winner is confirmed, the management computer 12 extracts the address of the corresponding target person (winner) from the customer data 21a and outputs it. In step S16, whether or not there is a response from the winner is determined within a preset period. If the person cannot be confirmed (step S16, NO), the customer data 21a of the target person (customer) selected at this time is deleted from the customer information storage unit 21 (step S16-1). And it returns to before step S13 and determination of a subject's winning is sequentially performed.
[0052]
Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the number of winners has reached a preset third predetermined value X3 (step S18), and if it has reached the third predetermined value X3 (step S18, YES), lottery The process ends. If it has not reached the third predetermined value X3 (step S18, NO), the processing from the subject data extraction (step S11) is performed again. Thus, the lottery process is performed until the third predetermined value X3 is reached.
[0053]
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) In the present embodiment, the management computer 12 sets the lottery unit number based on the second predetermined value X2 when the points accumulated in the point card 31 reach the first predetermined value X1 and the customer becomes a lottery target person. A chance code is calculated and given, and a lottery is performed based on the target person and the chance code. For this reason, when a customer purchases a product using the point card 31, if the condition is satisfied, the customer is automatically registered as a lottery object and a lottery is performed, so there is no need to perform a work to perform the lottery. As described above, even if the customer forgets to draw, the lottery is automatically performed, and the lottery can be more reliably performed for the lottery subject. Therefore, the customer's willingness to purchase can be increased and sales can be promoted.
[0054]
(2) In this embodiment, a lottery unit is calculated corresponding to the number of points acquired by the target person, and a chance code is assigned corresponding to the number of lottery units. Therefore, the winning probability is increased according to the purchase amount. Can increase the customer's willingness to purchase.
[0055]
(3) In this embodiment, the period during which points are accumulated in the point card 31 is within a predetermined period. Thus, since lottery processing is performed based on the number of points accumulated in a predetermined period, lottery can be performed in a lump. In addition, it is possible to improve the customer's willingness to purchase within a predetermined period to be selected.
[0056]
(4) In this embodiment, the number of lotteries by the management computer 12 is once for each target person. For this reason, it is possible to prevent duplicate winners.
(5) In the present embodiment, the management computer 12 performs lottery until a preset number of winners (third predetermined value X3) is reached. For this reason, a predetermined number of winners can be obtained.
[0057]
(6) In the present embodiment, a chance code acquisition notification is printed on the receipt 32 by the printing device 15 when the lottery subject's points are acquired. For this reason, the latest chance code, that is, the number of lottery units can be notified when the customer purchases a product, and the customer's willingness to purchase can be improved.
[0058]
(7) In this embodiment, the management computer 12 generates a random number for the chance code and performs a lottery. For this reason, lottery can be performed fairly regardless of the number of lottery units owned by each lottery subject.
[0059]
(8) In the present embodiment, the management computer 12 extracts a lottery target person's notice method, and confirms the person by the extracted notice method to determine the winner. Therefore, it is possible to notify the winner of the lottery that the winner has been won, and to confirm the current customer information.
[0060]
The above embodiment may be embodied by changing to another example as follows.
-In the said embodiment, the payment for point acquisition may use not only cash but a credit card. By doing so, the customer can automatically participate in the lottery even when purchasing a product using a credit card, which is highly convenient. Further, the customer may be able to make a purchase from the customer terminal 16.
[0061]
In the present embodiment, the reading device 14 reads the bar code of the point card 31, but the reading device 14 may be capable of reading a magnetic tape, an IC code, or the like other than the bar code.
[0062]
In the present embodiment, when the purchase amount (the number of acquired points at the time of purchase) is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value X1, the quotient obtained by dividing the purchase amount by the second predetermined value X2 is used as the lottery unit number. The method for calculating the number of lottery units is not limited to this. For example, the lottery unit number may be calculated by rounding off the purchase amount.
[0063]
In the present embodiment, when a customer is a lottery subject, the printing device 15 prints on the receipt 32 the fact that the customer is a lottery subject and the number of lottery units at that time. However, at this time, the method of notifying the customer that the person corresponds to the lottery target and the number of lottery units may be performed in any way, for example, by displaying on the screen of the customer terminal 16.
[0064]
-In this embodiment, it is assumed that lottery is performed fairly for all target persons according to the number of lottery units that each target person has. You may set so that it may become higher than a customer with few unit acquisition numbers.
[0065]
In the present embodiment, if the customer has a point number equal to or greater than the first predetermined value X1, the customer is determined to be a lottery person, and a chance code is assigned for each second predetermined value X2. Only one chance code may be given to the target person.
[0066]
In the present embodiment, even when a product is purchased using points, the number of points is added according to the purchase amount. However, points may not be added when points are used.
[0067]
In the present embodiment, the first and second predetermined values are fixed values, but may be variable. For example, the first and second predetermined values may be changed according to the time when the customer acquires points.
[0068]
In the present embodiment, the winner is confirmed by confirming the person, but the winner may be confirmed even if the identity is not confirmed. Moreover, although the notification method is extracted from the customer data 21a, the notification method may be limited to a predetermined method. As a result, the data storage area can be reduced.
[0069]
In the present embodiment, the management computer 12 generates a random number for the chance code and performs a lottery by extracting arbitrary data from the chance code. However, the lottery method is not limited to this, and for example, the lottery may be performed by changing the random number generation rate between the target person with a large number of point acquisition and the target person with a small number of points.
[0070]
In the present embodiment, the lottery unit number is printed on the receipt 32 by the printing device 15 when the points of the lottery person are acquired. However, the lottery unit number may not be printed on the receipt 32. Further, in order to inform the lottery person of the lottery unit number, when the lottery target period ends, the contact information in the customer data 21a may be extracted and the contact point may be notified of the lottery unit number. .
[0071]
In the present embodiment, the lottery is performed until the third predetermined value X3 is reached, but how long the lottery is performed may be determined by other means. For example, the lottery may be terminated when the total amount of prizes in the lottery win exceeds a predetermined value.
[0072]
In the present embodiment, the period during which points are accumulated in the point card is within a predetermined period, but the period may not be limited to the predetermined period. For example, all the points accumulated in the point card may be targeted.
[0073]
-In this embodiment, although the lottery process in which a lottery is automatically performed with respect to the acquirer (customer) of the point card 31 was demonstrated, the aspect in which a lottery is performed is not limited to the said embodiment at all. For example, based on the customer data 21 a in the customer information storage unit 21, a lottery target person may be limited. It is also possible to provide a plurality of types of prizes by providing grades for winning, store customer desired prizes in the customer data 21a, and perform lottery for each category of prizes.
[0074]
In the present embodiment, the receipt 32 is printed with the number of lottery units acquired by the customer, but other contents may be printed.
