[1. An example of payment processing indicated by the generator]
An example of the settlement process executed by the generation device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a payment process executed by the generation device 100 according to the embodiment. As a predetermined payment means, the generation device 100 reads the information displayed on the terminal device used by the user and associated with the user by the store terminal used by the store where the user makes a payment. The payment method performed by the user or the user terminal used by the user executes the payment means performed by reading the information associated with the store where the user makes the payment.

The payment method referred to here is electronic payment or the like. For example, electronic payment is a payment method in which payment of goods or services charges and prices is made not by cash such as coins and banknotes, but by electronic means such as sending and receiving data having value corresponding to cash. is there.

For example, electronic payment includes payment by bar code, payment by two-dimensional code, QR code (Quick Response Code) (registered trademark) payment, payment using electronic money, card payment using a credit card, and the like. In the following, payment by a predetermined code including payment by a bar code, payment by a two-dimensional code, or payment by a QR code (registered trademark) will be described with an example. In addition, a predetermined code presented by the store may be referred to as a store code, and a predetermined code presented by the user may be referred to as a user code.

In the following, when the user terminal UT1 used by the user U1 and the user terminal UT2 used by the user U2 are not particularly distinguished, they may be collectively referred to as the user terminal UT. Further, when the user U1 and the user U1 are not particularly distinguished, they may be collectively referred to as the user U.

Hereinafter, an example of payment processing by the generation device 100 will be described along the flow with reference to FIG. It should be noted that the user terminal UT is an application having a function of reading a two-dimensional code, and will be described as if the payment application A, which is an application related to electronic payment, is installed in advance.

First, an example in which the user terminal UT reads the store code for a store where electronic payment by the payment application A is possible will be described using steps S1 to S5. As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 reads the store code (step S1).

The store referred to here is a store that provides products and services. For example, a store is an actual store that sells products, a store located in a complex facility such as a mall, or the like. Further, for example, the service referred to here is a service or the like used by a user through an actual store.

For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 reads the store code SC, which is a two-dimensional code located at a predetermined place in the store, via the payment application A. At this time, the user terminal UT1 reads the store code SC using the built-in camera via the payment application A.

It should be noted that the predetermined location of the store here may be any location as long as it is inside the store. For example, a predetermined place of a store is a place where accounting is performed. Further, the store code SC is displayed on a paper medium such as a poster arranged at a predetermined place, for example. Further, the store code SC is displayed on a display such as a tablet installed at a predetermined place, for example.

Subsequently, the user terminal UT1 accepts the payment amount input by the user U1 (step S2). For example, an example in which the user U1 pays the bill after having a meal at an Italian restaurant will be described. In this case, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 receives "15,000 yen", which is the payment amount input by the user U1, in the predetermined frame for inputting the amount displayed by the payment application A. ..

Then, the user U1 and the clerk ST confirm the settlement amount (step S3). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user U1 causes the clerk ST to confirm the payment amount by presenting the payment amount "15,000 yen" displayed by the user terminal UT1.

Subsequently, the user terminal UT1 transmits information regarding the store code and the payment amount to the generation device 100 (step S4). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 transmits information regarding the store code SC and the payment amount "15,000 yen" to the generation device 100.

Then, the generation device 100 executes a payment process for providing the amount indicated by the payment amount to the store associated with the store code from the user who uses the user terminal UT (step S5). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generation device 100 executes a payment process for providing the payment amount “15,000 yen” to the Italian restaurant associated with the store code SC.

Next, an example in which the store terminal ST reads the user code presented by the user using steps S6 to S11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the generation device 100 receives a request for acquisition of information regarding the user code from the user terminal UT2. (Step S6). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generation device 100 receives a request for acquisition of information regarding the user code UC from the user terminal UT2 by using the payment application A.

Subsequently, the generation device 100 provides the user terminal UT2 with information regarding the user code (step S7). Then, the user terminal UT2 displays the user code (step S8). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT2 displays the user code UC to the clerk SU via the payment application A.

Subsequently, the store terminal ST reads the user code displayed by the user terminal UT2 (step S9). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the store terminal ST uses the built-in camera to read the user code UC displayed by the user terminal UT2. Then, the store terminal ST transmits information regarding the user code and the payment amount to the generation device 100 (step S10).

For example, an example in which the user U2 pays the bill after having a meal at a Chinese restaurant will be described. In this case, in the example of FIG. 1, the store terminal ST transmits information regarding the user code UC and the payment amount of "20,000 yen" to the generation device 100.

Subsequently, the generation device 100 executes a payment process for providing the amount indicated by the payment amount to the store from the user associated with the user code (step S11). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generation device 100 executes a payment process for providing a payment amount of "20,000 yen" to a Chinese restaurant from the user terminal UT2 associated with the user code UC.

[2. An example of the generation process shown by the generator]

Further, in another example, the generation device 100 acquires the payment history at the designated store, which is the type of store designated as the designated condition. Then, the generation device 100 specifies the payment history that satisfies the designated condition.

For example, the designated conditions designated by the designated person will be described by giving an example in which the area is Roppongi, the type of store is an Italian restaurant, and the age of the user is in his thirties. In this case, the generation device 100 specifies the payment history including the information that the area is Roppongi, the type of the store is an Italian restaurant, and the age of the user is in his thirties, among the payment history of the user.

For example, the designated condition specified by the designated person will be described with an example in which the number of times the content related to the Italian restaurant is viewed is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of times. In this case, the generation device 100 identifies a user whose content related to the Italian restaurant has been viewed more than a predetermined number of times, and specifies the payment history of the user as a payment history satisfying the specified conditions. To do.

Then, the generation device 100 uses the specified payment history to generate ranking information indicating the order of payment by the user who satisfies the designated condition in the store which satisfies the designated condition (step S25). That is, the generation device 100 generates ranking information indicating the ranking of each user's payment at the designated store. More specifically, the generation device 100 generates ranking information indicating the ranking of the total amount of payments made by the user by a predetermined payment means at the designated store. As a result, the generation device 100 can visualize the excitement of payment by a predetermined payment means.

Further, the generation device 100 may generate ranking information indicating the ranking regarding the number of payments made by the user by the predetermined payment means at the designated store, and the payment made by the user at the designated store by the predetermined payment means. You may generate ranking information indicating the ranking regarding the frequency of. In addition, the generation device 100 may generate ranking information indicating the ranking regarding the frequency of settlement within the designated period.

For example, in the example of FIG. 1, in the generation device 100, the first place is the user # 3 who has settled the payment amount "225,000 yen" based on the payment history of each user in the Italian restaurant, and the second place is. It generates ranking information such that the user # 1 who has settled the settlement amount "210000 yen" and the third place is the user # 4 who has settled the settlement amount "190000 yen".

Further, the generation device 100 is the user # 2 who has settled the number of times "50 times" in the first place and the second place has settled the number of times "40 times" based on the payment history of each user in the Italian restaurant. It generates ranking information such as the user # 3 who has made a payment, and the third place is the user # 4 who has settled the number of times "30 times".

Further, for example, in the generator 100, as ranking information regarding the frequency of payments made by the user within "4 months", the first place is the user # 4 who has settled the number of times "20 times", and the second place. Is the user # 1 who has settled the number of times "15 times", and the third place is the user # 3 who has settled the number of times "10 times". The number of payments or the frequency of payments described in the above example may be the number or frequency of payments accumulated within a predetermined period.

Moreover, the embodiment is not limited to the above example. For example, the generation device 100 may generate ranking information of stores.
