Description

  The present invention relates to a system for managing a membership card of a registered customer.

Conventionally, when a membership card is issued at a restaurant or retail store, and this membership card is presented when visiting the store, the member may be given a privilege different from that of the non-member.
For example, when a user presents a member card in which a member ID is displayed as a barcode when using a store that has been registered in advance, the store's POS device reads the barcode and refers to the member information database. Judge whether the membership card is valid. If valid, points corresponding to the amount of payment and the number of visits are given, and processing such as storing the points in association with the corresponding member ID is performed. In this way, points are accumulated in association with the member ID, and according to the number of points, services such as discounts are given or food and beverage charges and merchandise charges are discounted.

Since the service as described above is performed for each issuer of the membership card, if the user tries to carry all the membership cards for different issuers, the number of mobile cards must be increased. Therefore, when trying to carry all these cards, there was a problem that the wallet and the pocket were bulky and difficult to carry.
Moreover, since it is bulky to carry many cards at once, in order to avoid this, it is often the case that not all of the above membership cards are always carried. If necessary, the card is often exchanged in a wallet or the like and carried. However, if this is done, the necessary card may be forgotten, and special benefits may not be received.
Furthermore, the more cards you have, the more often you forget or drop your membership card. If you drop it, there is a risk that it will be misused by others.

  On the other hand, even if a member card issuer side issues a member card etc. in order to give a privilege to a customer, if the card is lent to another person other than the person, the store side will There is also a problem that it is not possible to determine whether the person himself or herself is using it illegally.

  An object of the present invention is to realize a system that can reliably authenticate a membership card without using a card.

  A first invention includes a portable terminal having unique terminal identification information allocated in advance and a server capable of communicating with the portable terminal, wherein the server is reproducible on the portable terminal and has a membership card issuer Member specifying information storage means for storing member specifying information for specifying a member of the user, portable terminal identification information storing means for storing pre-registered registered terminal identification information in association with the member specifying information, and the individual Access information storage means for storing access information associated with either or both of the member identification information and registered terminal identification information, receiving means for receiving the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal and the access information, and Based on the access information input to the receiving means, the member specifying information stored in the member specifying information storing means and the portable terminal identification information storing means are stored. The identification means for identifying both of the registered member identification information or one of them is compared with the identified registered terminal identification information and the terminal identification information input from the mobile terminal, and they match. Terminal authentication means for determining whether or not to perform transmission, and member identification information transmission for transmitting to the portable terminal the member identification information reproducible on the portable terminal specified by the identification means when authenticated by the terminal authentication means And a means.

A second invention includes a member authentication system capable of communicating with the server.
In this member authentication system, a capturing unit that captures member specifying information reproduced by the mobile terminal, a member specifying information storage unit that stores pre-registered registered member specifying information, and a capturing unit that stores the member specifying information. Using a signal output at the timing of capture as a trigger, a transmission unit that transmits a trigger signal to the server, a reception unit that receives a signal output from the server, and member identification information captured from the capture unit A member authentication unit that compares the registered member specifying information stored in the member specifying information storage unit and determines whether or not they match.

  Further, the server receives a signal that is set in advance between the time when the receiving unit receives a signal from the portable terminal and the time when the transmitting unit transmits the member specifying information, or Time storage means for storing the time at any time when a predetermined time has passed since the specific signal generation time, and validity confirmation means for confirming the validity of the member specific information captured by the member authentication system And a confirmation result transmitting means for transmitting the confirmation result of the validity confirmation means to the member authentication system, and when the validity confirmation means of the server receives the trigger signal transmitted from the member authentication system, It is determined whether the elapsed time from the time stored in the time storage means to the reception time of the trigger signal is within a preset valid time, and within the valid time If it is determined that the member identification information captured by the member authentication system is valid, and if the elapsed time exceeds the valid time, the member identification information is determined to be invalid, and the confirmation result Is transmitted to the member authentication system via the confirmation result transmitting means, and the member authentication unit of the member authentication system receives the confirmation result of the member identification information via the reception unit, and the validity of the member identification information is received. When the member identification information captured from the capturing unit matches the registered member identification information stored in the member identification information storage means of the member authentication system, the member identification information reproduced by the mobile terminal is displayed. It is characterized in that it authenticates.

According to the present invention, since many membership cards can be integrated into one mobile terminal, a large number of cards issued for each membership card issuing entity such as a store must be individually managed. Can solve all the problems.
For example, your wallet will not be bulky, and you will not forget to replace cards or make mistakes.
Moreover, when the member identification information is transmitted to the member's mobile terminal, the server managing the membership card transmits the member identification information only to the registered regular mobile terminal by authentication of the terminal identification information. I am doing so. Accordingly, since the member specifying information is transmitted only to the registered regular mobile terminal, the unauthorized user of the membership card can be eliminated. Thereby, the issuer of the membership card can give a privilege to the regular member, and the member can prevent his / her membership card from being used by others.

  In particular, according to the second invention, when the member identification information transmitted to the mobile terminal is presented at a store or the like, the validity of the membership card can be confirmed, so that the member authentication accuracy can be further improved.

1 is a block diagram showing a system configuration of Embodiment 1. FIG. 3 is a table showing an example of data stored in a storage unit according to the first embodiment. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a system configuration of Embodiment 2. FIG.

  We realized the purpose of authenticating the membership card without using the card.

A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In this membership card management system, a user who has registered as a member downloads a member ID to a mobile terminal A such as his / her mobile phone so that the downloaded member ID can be used as a membership card.
In this membership card management system, every time a user is requested to present a member ID in order to prove that he / she is a member, the member ID, which is member identification information, is acquired from the server B described later. I am doing so.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a system configuration for the mobile terminal A to acquire a member ID and a data flow at that time.
As shown in FIG. 1, the membership card management system according to the first embodiment manages a mobile terminal A having a communication function used by a user who has registered as a member in advance, and a member ID indicating a registered member. Server B.
The server B is a server of an administrator who operates this system, and can be connected to the portable terminal A via the Internet. The member issuing the membership card may manage the server B, or a server other than the issuing entity may manage the server B.

The server B that manages the member ID includes a storage unit 1, and as shown in FIG. 2, the storage unit 1 includes a registered terminal ID for identifying the mobile terminal of the user registered as a member, The user's member ID is stored in association with the URL, which is individual access information for accessing the individual registered terminal ID and member ID.
The registered terminal ID refers to a form in which the terminal ID, which is the terminal identification information of the portable terminal A used by the registered member, is stored in the storage unit 1, and the ID itself of the registered terminal ID and the terminal ID is the same. It is.
The terminal ID, which is terminal identification information, is a machine ID or the like allocated in advance to the mobile terminal, and is automatically transmitted from the mobile terminal A when the mobile terminal A accesses a server or the like via the communication means. This information is sent.

In the first embodiment, the URL is used as the access information. However, the present invention may include a password as well as the URL.
The member ID is an ID that is assigned to a member by a member who issues a membership card, and is data that can be reproduced by the mobile terminal A. The data that can be reproduced by the portable terminal A includes image information and audio information. In this embodiment, a bar code is used. The storage unit 1 stores such a barcoded member ID in association with the registered terminal ID.
In the first embodiment, the storage means 1 stores the access information URL, member ID, and registration terminal ID in association with each other. The storage means 1 is the member specifying information storage means of the present invention. The terminal identification information storage unit and the access information storage unit have all the functions. However, the server B may be provided with these storage means individually.

  The server B receives the access from the portable terminal A and receives the URL and the terminal ID which are the access information of the present invention, based on the information input from the receiving means 2. From the information stored in the storage means 1, the specifying means 3 for specifying the member ID and the registered terminal ID, the terminal authentication means 4 for authenticating the mobile terminal A, and the member ID are transmitted to the mobile terminal A. Member ID transmission means 5.

User registration can be done by any method. However, after the member registration, the storage unit 1 of the server B stores information in which the member ID is associated with the terminal ID of the mobile terminal A used by the member together with the access information. For example, if a registration application is accepted from a web page for member registration application (not shown) using the mobile terminal A, the server B automatically acquires the terminal ID of the mobile terminal A used for the application, and uses it. It can be stored as a registered terminal ID.
Further, the user who has completed the member registration is notified of the URL that is access information for acquiring the member ID.

In the above system, a procedure for a registered member to acquire the registered barcoded member ID in the mobile terminal A will be described below. The flow of information according to the following procedure is indicated by arrows in FIG. 1. The flow of information within the server B is indicated by solid arrows, and the flow of information between the server B and the mobile terminal A is indicated by broken lines. Shown with arrows.
First, when the portable terminal A accesses the server B based on the URL that is the access information by the operation of the member user, the receiving unit 2 receives the URL and the terminal ID that is the terminal specifying information. The receiving unit 2 inputs the received URL to the specifying unit 3 and inputs the received terminal ID to the terminal authenticating unit 4.

  Here, since the URL that is the access information input to the specifying unit 3 is associated with the member ID, the specifying unit 3 should transmit to the mobile terminal A based on the input URL. A bar-coded member ID can be specified. However, this system does not immediately transmit the bar-coded member ID specified based on the above URL, but authenticates that the mobile terminal A is a mobile terminal properly registered in the storage means 1. The member ID is transmitted after authentication by means 4.

Therefore, based on the URL that is the access information input from the receiving means 2, the specifying means 3 stores the member ID corresponding to the URL together with the member ID corresponding to the URL from the data stored in the storage means 1. The registered terminal IDs stored in the means 1 are specified, and these are input to the terminal authentication means 4.
As described above, since the terminal ID which is the terminal identification information transmitted from the portable terminal A via the receiving unit 2 is input to the terminal authenticating unit 4, the terminal authenticating unit 4 receives the terminal ID and the above-described terminal ID. The registered terminal ID specified by the specifying means 3 is compared to determine whether or not they match. If the two match, the bar-coded member ID input from the specifying unit 3 is transmitted from the member ID transmitting unit 5 to the portable terminal A.

On the other hand, if the two terminal IDs do not match, it is determined that the portable terminal A is not a registered regular portable terminal, and an NG signal to that effect is output. At this time, the member ID transmission means 5 does not transmit the member ID, but instead transmits to the portable terminal A that the terminal could not be authenticated.
According to the above procedure, the bar-coded member ID is transmitted to the mobile terminal A of the member who has properly registered.

  Then, since the received member ID is displayed on the display on the mobile terminal A that has received the barcoded member ID, it can be presented at the store on the issuer side of the membership card. At this storefront, the bar-coded member ID displayed on the portable terminal A can be read by a POS device equipped with a bar code reader, and the granted point can be associated with the read member ID. In this way, the process of reading the bar-coded member ID displayed on the mobile terminal A and giving points, etc. is the same as the system using the conventional member card displaying the bar code. An existing POS device equipped with a code reader can be used as it is. Thus, since the existing POS device can be used as it is, it is easy to introduce the membership card management system of the first embodiment on the issuing subject side using the membership card system.

As described above, in the system of the first embodiment, when the server B transmits the member ID converted into the barcode, the authentication of the terminal ID of the portable terminal A is conditional, so the access information is known. However, the member ID cannot be acquired unless a regular portable terminal is used. Therefore, if the mobile terminal is different, another person can impersonate a member and the member ID cannot be illegally used.
Also, mobile terminals, especially mobile phones, rarely lend it to others because they do not know when to receive their phone calls or emails. Furthermore, mobile phones and the like contain a lot of personal information, so if you are worried about their leakage, you can't easily lend them to others.
As described above, since the mobile terminal does not easily lend and borrow like a membership card, unauthorized use of the member ID due to lending and borrowing can be prevented.

Further, since the server B cannot be accessed unless the access information is known, the member ID cannot be acquired unless the unauthorized person uses the regular member's mobile terminal A.
In this way, if both the access information and the registered terminal ID are not correct, the member ID cannot be acquired, so that unauthorized acquisition of the member ID can be reliably prevented.

In the above description, the relationship between the member issuing the membership card and the member is one-to-one. That is, a plurality of member IDs with different issuing entities can be integrated and managed by one mobile terminal A.
In this case, a URL that is access information associated with each member ID can be arbitrarily selected by the mobile terminal A. Then, using the selected URL, a bar-coded member ID corresponding to the issuing subject can be displayed.

In this way, many membership cards can be consolidated into a single mobile terminal, so all problems arising from having to manage a large number of cards issued for each member issuing the membership card can be solved. .
Further, since a special membership card is not required as in the prior art, the membership card issuer can also provide the same service as before without incurring the cost of card creation.

In the first embodiment, the terminal authentication means 4 for authenticating the terminal ID transmitted from the portable terminal A is bar-coded with the registered terminal ID specified by the specifying means 3 based on the URL as the access information. The member ID is input at the same time, but only the registered terminal ID is first input from the specifying unit 3 to the terminal authenticating unit 4 and the specifying unit 3 converts the ID into a bar code only when the terminal ID is authenticated. The registered member ID may be specified and input to the terminal authentication means 4. Alternatively, the authentication result of the terminal authentication means 4 is input to the specifying means 3, and the member ID specified by the specifying means 3 is specified only when the terminal ID is authenticated, and is transmitted from the member ID transmitting means 5. You may do it.
In any case, the corresponding bar-coded member ID is transmitted to the portable terminal A only when the terminal ID transmitted from the portable terminal A matches the registered terminal ID.

The second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is a system in which the security of the system of the first embodiment is further improved, and the server B ′ that manages the member ID that is the membership card is different from the server B of the first embodiment shown in FIG. In addition, the member authentication system C that can communicate with the server B ′ is provided on the side of the member issuing the membership card.
The member authentication system C is a system for authenticating a member ID as a membership card on the side of the member issuing the membership card.

The server B ′ according to the second embodiment includes a time storage unit 6 connected to the member ID transmission unit 5, a validity confirmation unit 7, and a confirmation result transmission unit 8. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment. Server B. Components similar to those of the server B of the first embodiment have the same functions. Hereinafter, the differences between the first and second embodiments will be mainly described.
The time storage means 6 has a function of specifying and storing the time at the time when a trigger signal is input from the member ID transmission means 5, and the validity confirmation means 7 will be described in detail later. Using the time data stored in the time storage means 6, it has a function of determining the validity of the member ID that is the membership card.

On the other hand, the member authentication system C provided on the issuer side of the membership card is connected to the reader 9 which is a capturing unit of the present invention for reading the bar-coded member ID displayed by the mobile terminal A, and A member authentication unit 10 that authenticates the barcode-encoded member ID read by the reader 9, a member information database 11 that stores the member IDs of registered members, and an output unit 12 that outputs an authentication result of the member authentication unit 10. I have. The member information database 11 may store a registered member ID in association with a member attribute, the number of points, and the like.
The member authentication system C includes a transmission unit 13 and a reception unit 14 for transmitting and receiving signals between the system C and the server B ′.

The member authentication system C may be configured by incorporating the above components into a device such as a POS device, or may be configured by combining a plurality of computers. In particular, the member information database 11 can be shared between different shops having the same issuer by connecting to the member authentication unit 10 via communication.
In FIG. 3, the information flow in the server B ′ and the information flow in the member authentication system C are indicated by solid arrows, and the information flow outside the server B ′ and the member authentication system C is indicated by a broken line. Shown with arrows.

The procedure for authenticating a member in the membership card management system of the second embodiment will be described below.
Also in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the member accesses the server B ′ using the portable terminal A and displays the barcoded member ID on the portable terminal A. And the procedure which server B 'transmits the member ID barcoded to the portable terminal A when the acquired terminal ID is authenticated with respect to the access of the portable terminal A is also the same as the first embodiment.
However, in the system of the second embodiment, the member ID acquired by the mobile terminal A from the server B ′ is invalidated if it is not used within a predetermined time. In other words, the member must have the member ID read by the reader 9 of the member authentication system C within a predetermined effective time after acquiring the barcoded member ID. In this way, after the portable terminal A receives the member ID and displays it on the display, if the valid time has passed, the bar-coded member ID will be invalidated in advance. Let me tell you.

In order to confirm the validity of the member ID with the passage of time in the second embodiment, in the server B ′, when the member ID transmission unit 5 transmits the barcoded member ID, the time storage unit 6 On the other hand, a predetermined trigger signal is input. When the trigger signal is input from the member ID transmission unit 5, the time storage unit 6 specifies the time at that time and stores it.
Further, the validity check means 7 of the server B ′ is set in advance with a predetermined valid time. The validity check means 7 starts from the time stored in the time storage means 6. It has a function of determining whether the member ID is valid or invalid depending on whether or not it has passed.

  As described above, when the member ID displayed on the portable terminal A is presented to the reader 9 with the time data stored in the time storage means 6, the reader 9 reads the member ID and reads the member ID Is input to the member authentication unit 10 and the transmission unit 13. When the member ID is input, the transmission unit 13 uses the input as a trigger to transmit a trigger signal to the validity confirmation unit 7 of the server B ′. The member ID input from the reader 9 may be used as it is as a trigger signal to be transmitted here, or the transmission unit 13 may generate another signal and use it as a trigger signal.

The validity check means 7 of the server B ′ that has received the trigger signal transmitted from the member authentication system C identifies the time of reception of the trigger signal and refers to the time data stored in the time storage means 6. . Then, the validity checking means 7 compares the elapsed time from the time stored in the time storage means 6 to the time specified when the trigger signal is received, in comparison with the preset effective time. It is determined whether the elapsed time is within the valid time.
The validity checking means 7 determines that the member ID read by the reader 9 is valid when the elapsed time is within the valid time, and if the elapsed time exceeds the valid time, It is determined that the member ID is invalid. Then, the validity / invalidity confirmation result is transmitted from the confirmation result transmission means 8 to the member authentication system C.

The reception unit 14 of the member authentication system C that has received the confirmation result of the validity confirmation unit 7 inputs the confirmation result to the member authentication unit 10.
When a signal indicating “invalid” is input from the receiving unit 14, the member authentication unit 10 displays “valid expiration” on the display of the POS device (not shown) via the output unit 12. “Authentication not possible” is displayed.
When a confirmation result “valid” is input from the transmission unit 14, the member authentication unit 10 registers the member ID read and input by the reader 9 in the member information database 11. Check if it exists. When the registered member ID registered in the member information database 11 matches the member ID read by the reader 9, the member ID is authenticated and the result of authentication OK is output from the output unit 12. For example, a display can be connected to the output unit 12 and the fact that authentication has been made can be displayed on the display.
Furthermore, when the output unit 12 is connected to a point granting unit (not shown) and the member ID is authenticated, points can be associated with the corresponding member ID.

As described above, in the second embodiment, since the valid use time of the bar-coded member ID transmitted to the mobile terminal A is set, for example, in the state where the regular member displays the member ID, Even when the terminal A is dropped or misplaced, unauthorized use of the portable terminal can be prevented in many cases. The reason is as follows.
When picking up a portable terminal A that has been dropped or misplaced, it can be assumed that a considerable amount of time has passed since the regular member displayed the member ID until the portable terminal A was picked up. If this elapsed time exceeds the valid time, the displayed member ID is automatically invalidated.

As described above, invalidation processing is automatically performed over time, so even if a mobile device with a regular member ID displayed is picked up by a malicious third party, unauthorized use is prevented. can do.
The shorter the valid time, the easier it is to eliminate unauthorized users as described above. However, if the valid time is too short, the convenience of regular members is impaired. Therefore, the effective time can be freely set according to the situation in consideration of convenience and accuracy of fraud exclusion.

  In the second embodiment, the starting point of the valid time is the timing at which the member ID transmitting means 5 of the server B ′ transmits the member ID converted into a barcode, but this timing is determined by the portable terminal A to the server B ′. Access may be made at any point in time from the time when the receiving unit 2 receives the URL and the terminal ID as access information until the member ID transmitting unit 5 transmits the member ID.

  Specifically, it is executed by the server B ′ after the receiving means 2 receives the URL and terminal ID as access information until the member ID sending means 5 sends the barcoded member ID. The time storage unit 6 may generate time data using any one of the signals generated by the various processes as a trigger, and the time storage unit 6 may store the time data as a starting point of the effective time. Alternatively, the time storage means 6 may generate time data after a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving any of the triggers, and store it as a starting point of the effective time.

Since any one of the timings described above is almost the same as the time when the member ID transmitting means 5 of the server B ′ transmits the barcoded member ID, the starting point of the valid time is set to “ It is considered that there is no problem by informing that “when the mobile terminal A accesses the server B ′” or “when the mobile terminal A displays the member ID converted into a barcode”.
Further, the trigger signal may be input to the validity confirmation unit 7, and the validity confirmation unit 7 may also function as the time storage unit 6 for storing the trigger signal input time.

In the second embodiment, when the validity check result signal is received from the server B ′ and the validity is confirmed, the member authentication unit 10 authenticates the member ID read by the reader 9. However, either the reception of the validity confirmation result from the server B ′ or the authentication of the member ID by the member authentication unit 10 may be performed first.
In short, the validity of the server B ′ is confirmed, and the member ID is authenticated only when the registered member ID matches the member ID read by the reader 9, and the authentication result is output from the member authentication system C. What is necessary is just to output to the part 12.
In the systems of the first and second embodiments, the access information associated with the barcoded member ID is associated with member information such as usage history and the number of points, and the member uses the access information. You may enable it to display the number of points etc. on a portable terminal.

  The system of the present invention is effective, for example, in a system that manages the validity of a member ID for the purpose of giving points.
