  Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the first printing process executed in ECR2 will be described. The first printing process is a process for printing the temporary ID and the temporary password on the receipt R when the customer who made the payment is not a member.

  For example, it is assumed that a payment amount or the like is input through the input unit 22 of the ECR 2 by a store clerk at the time of payment. Then, triggered by the execution of the first print processing execution instruction by the store clerk via the input unit 22, etc., the first read out from the storage unit 25 by the CPU 21 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 23. The first printing process is executed in cooperation with the printing program and the CPU 21.

  First, it is determined whether or not an input of a cash deposit key has been accepted (step S11). The cash deposit key is a key of the input unit 22 that is pressed by a store clerk when performing cash settlement. That is, in this step, it is determined whether or not the customer's payment process is a cash payment. When it is determined that the input of the cash deposit key has been accepted (step S11; YES), the print information I is printed on the receipt R (step S20). The print information I refers to information printed on the receipt R. In this step, the print payment information K including the payment amount is printed on the receipt R as the print information I. The print settlement information K is the settlement information printed on the receipt R (print settlement information K in FIG. 10). The print settlement information K includes, for example, information including a store name, a location, a settlement amount, and the like. Here, for example, the store name and location are stored in advance in the storage unit 25 of the ECR 2, and information read from the storage unit 25 is printed. The payment amount is printed by the payment amount input by the store clerk at the time of payment.

  In step S11, when it is determined that the input of the cash deposit key is not accepted (step S11; YES), it is determined whether or not the input of the settlement key is accepted (step S12). The payment key is a key of the input unit 22 that is pressed by a store clerk when making a payment from the credit card C1 or the mobile phone C2. That is, in this step, it is determined whether or not the customer's payment process is a payment process from the credit card C1 or the mobile phone C2. When it is determined that the input of the settlement key is not accepted (step S12; NO), the process proceeds to step S11.

  If it is determined in step S12 that the input of the settlement key has been accepted (step S12; YES), it is determined whether or not credit information has been received (step S13). That is, it is determined whether or not the credit information read by the electronic settlement terminal 3 has been received. At this time, for example, information such as a payment ID, a card company name, and an expiration date is received as credit information. At this time, a payment approval request is also received from the electronic payment terminal 3. If it is determined in step S13 that credit information has not been received from the electronic settlement terminal 3 (step S13; NO), the process proceeds to step S13.

If it is determined in step S13 that the credit information has been received (step S13; YES), settlement information including the credit information is transmitted to the information center server 4 (step S14). The payment information in this step includes, for example, information including a payment ID, a terminal ID, a payment date and time, a payment category, a payment amount, a point category, and the like. Here, the settlement ID read from the credit card C1 or the mobile phone C2 is transmitted as the settlement ID. As the terminal ID, the terminal ID acquired from the electronic payment terminal 3 is transmitted together with the credit information. As the settlement date and time, the settlement date and time acquired from the time measuring unit 29b is transmitted. The settlement category is the settlement category entered by the store clerk in step S11 or step S12 (for example, information indicating “cash” when “cash keeping key” is entered, or “settlement key” is entered) (Information indicating “credit card”) is transmitted. As the settlement amount, the settlement amount input by the store clerk at the time of settlement is transmitted. As the point classification, a point classification (for example, information indicating “enrollment” or “product purchase”) input by a store clerk at the time of settlement is transmitted.
At this time, a settlement approval request is also transmitted to the information center server 4. The payment approval request is transmitted from the information center server 4 to the card company server 6 via the payment center server 5. In the following description, it is assumed that the payment approval is obtained from the card company server 6 and the payment approval instruction is output to the information center server 4.

  After execution of step S14, it is determined whether or not the member determination flag transmitted in step S41 of the first member determination process of the information center server 4 has been received (step S15). The member determination flag refers to an instruction signal for determining whether a customer is a member. When it is determined that the member determination flag has not been received (step S15; NO), the process proceeds to step S15.

If it is determined in step S15 that the member determination flag has been received (step S15; YES), the print information I is expanded in the work area of the RAM 23 (step S16). For example, as the print information I, the store name, location, payment amount, etc. (that is, print payment information K) are expanded in the work area of the RAM 23. Here, for example, the store name and location are stored in advance in the storage unit 25 of the ECR 2, and information read from the storage unit 25 is expanded in the work area of the RAM 23. Further, the payment amount is developed in the work area of the payment amount RAM 23 input by the store clerk at the time of payment.
At this time, the print area start point, width, font size, character pitch, layout, turnover information, etc. are determined for each type of print information I.

  After execution of step S16, it is determined whether or not the customer is a member with reference to the member determination flag received from the information center server 4 (step S17). If it is determined that the customer is not a member (step S17; YES), the temporary member ID, temporary password, and registration information T transmitted in step S43 of the first member determination process of the information center server 4 are received (step S43). S18).

  Then, the received temporary member ID, temporary password, and registration information T are included in the print information I (step S19). That is, in addition to the print settlement information K, the temporary area ID, temporary password, and registration information T are included in the work area of the RAM 23. After execution of step S19, the process proceeds to step S20. In this case, the print settlement information K, registration information T, temporary ID, and temporary password are printed on the receipt R as the print information I. That is, the print information I shown in FIG. 10 is printed on the receipt R.

  If it is determined in step S17 that the customer is a member (step S17; YES), the process proceeds to step S20. In this case, the print settlement information K is printed on the receipt R. That is, the print settlement information K shown in FIG. 10 is printed on the receipt R.

  Next, the first member determination process executed by the information center server 4 will be described with reference to FIG. The first member determination process is a process for determining whether or not a customer who has made a payment is a member.

  For example, in the information center server 4, when the payment information transmitted from the ECR 2 is received via the communication unit 46, the first read out from the storage unit 45 by the CPU 41 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 43. A first member determination process is executed in cooperation with the member determination program and the CPU 41.

  First, the payment information transmitted in step S13 of the first printing process of ECR2 is received, and based on the received payment information, it is determined whether or not the customer who has performed the payment process is a member (step). S31). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the settlement ID included in the settlement information received from ECR2 is registered in the settlement ID 467 of the regular member management table 45D stored in the storage unit 45. If it is determined in step S31 that the customer who has made the settlement process is a member (step S31; YES), a member determination flag is set for the member (step S32). After execution of step S32, the process proceeds to step S39 described later.

  If it is determined in step S31 that the customer who has performed the payment process is not a member (step S31; NO), it is determined whether or not the customer who has performed the payment process is a temporary member (step S33). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the payment ID included in the payment information received from ECR2 is registered in the payment ID 471 of the temporary member management table 45E stored in the storage unit 45. If it is determined in step S33 that the customer who has made the settlement process is a temporary member (step S33; YES), a member determination flag is set to the temporary member (step S34). After execution of step S34, the process proceeds to step S39 described later.

  If it is determined in step S33 that the customer who has made the payment process is not a temporary member (step S33; NO), a temporary member ID is generated by combining the terminal ID received from ECR2 and the payment date and time (step S35). For example, it is assumed that the terminal ID is “123456” and the settlement date is “May 1, 2007 12:24:36”. In this case, the temporary member ID is “1234565620070501122436”.

  After execution of step S35, a random number is generated, and a numeric string serving as a temporary password is generated from the random number (step S36). Then, a record is registered in the temporary member management table 45E (step S37). Specifically, the temporary member ID 468, the temporary password 469, the store ID 470, the payment ID 471, and the payment date and time 472 are registered in the temporary member management table 45E. Here, the temporary member ID 468 is registered with the temporary member ID generated in step S35. As the temporary password 469, the temporary password generated in step S36 is registered. For the store ID 470, the store ID associated with the terminal ID is registered with reference to the terminal management table 45C. As the payment ID 471, the payment ID included in the payment information is registered. In the settlement date and time 472, the settlement date and time included in the settlement information is registered.

  After execution of step S37, the temporary member determination flag is set to a nonmember (step S38). Then, a record is registered in the sales management table 45F (step S39). Specifically, the temporary member ID 473, the store ID 474, the settlement category 475, the settlement amount 476, and the settlement date 477 are registered in the sales management table 45F. The temporary member ID 473 is registered with the temporary member ID generated in step S35. The store ID 474 is registered with the store ID associated with the terminal ID with reference to the terminal management table 45C. In the payment category 475, the payment category included in the payment information is registered. As the settlement amount 476, the settlement amount included in the settlement information is registered. In the settlement date and time 477, the settlement date and time included in the settlement information is registered.

  Then, a record is registered in the point management table 45G (step S40). Specifically, the temporary member ID 478, the settlement date and time 479, the point classification 480, the granted points 481, and the point total 482 are registered in the point management table 45G. The temporary member ID 478 is registered with the temporary member ID generated in step S35. In the settlement date 479, the settlement date included in the settlement information is registered. In the point classification 480, the point classification included in the settlement information is registered. As the grant point 481, a grant point calculated with reference to the point classification table 45H is registered. As the point total 482, the point total calculated based on the granted points is registered.

  After execution of step S40, a member determination flag is transmitted to ECR2 (step S41). And it is discriminate | determined with reference to a member determination flag whether a customer is a member (step S42). When the member determination flag is set to the member and it is determined that the customer is a member (step S42; YES), the first member determination process ends. If the member determination flag is set to a non-member or temporary member and it is determined that the customer is not a member (step S42; NO), a temporary member ID, a temporary password, and registration information T are transmitted to ECR 2 (step S42). S43). After execution of step S43, the first member determination process ends.

  Next, the first member registration process executed by the information center server 4 will be described with reference to FIG. The first member registration process is a process of registering a customer who is a temporary member as a regular member.

  For example, the receipt R printed in the first printing process is referred to by the customer, and an access instruction is executed to the URL of the information center server 4 printed on the receipt R via the input unit (not shown) of the mobile phone C2. Suppose. Here, it is assumed that the mobile phone C2 is connected to the information center server 4 via the communication network N and a base station (not shown). In this case, in the information center server 4, when the access instruction from the mobile phone C2 is received via the communication unit 46, etc., the first read out from the storage unit 45 by the CPU 41 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 43 is triggered. The first member registration process is executed in cooperation with the member registration program and the CPU 41.

  First, a temporary member ID and a temporary password are accepted (step S51). Specifically, a temporary member ID and a temporary password input via the input unit of the customer's mobile phone C2 are received via the communication unit 46. Then, it is determined whether or not the accepted temporary member ID and temporary password match the temporary member ID 464 and temporary password 465 stored in the temporary member management table 45E of the storage unit 45 (step S52). When it is determined that they do not match (step S52; NO), the process proceeds to step S51.

  If it is determined in step S52 that they match (step S52; YES), the regular member ID and the regular password are accepted (step S53). Specifically, the regular member ID and the regular password input via the input unit of the customer's mobile phone C2 are received via the communication unit 46. The accepted regular member ID and regular password are registered in the regular member management table 45D when the same regular member ID 460 is not present in the regular member management table 45D. At this time, the records of the temporary member ID 464 and the temporary password 465 registered in the temporary member management table 45E are deleted. Then, personal information is accepted (step S54). Personal information refers to information such as customer email addresses. The accepted personal information is registered in the regular member management table 45D. After execution of step S54, the first member registration process ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the temporary member ID and the temporary password received from the information center server 4 are printed on the receipt R via the printer unit 29a. As a result, the store side can provide a temporary member ID and a temporary password to a customer who makes an electronic payment at the time of payment (that is, payment by credit card C1 or mobile phone C2). Can be encouraged to become a member. That is, the store side can easily make a customer of electronic settlement a member.

  The registration information T is printed on the receipt R through the printer unit 29a together with the temporary member ID and the temporary password. Thereby, the store side can provide temporary ID, temporary password, and registration information T with respect to the customer who performs electronic payment at the time of payment.

  In addition, at least one of the temporary member ID, the temporary password, and the URL included in the registration information T can be converted into a two-dimensional code. In this case, a customer who performs electronic payment can perform membership registration using a mobile phone or the like having a function of reading a two-dimensional code when performing membership registration. That is, the customer who performs electronic payment can save the trouble of inputting the temporary member ID, the temporary password, and the URL of the registration information T.

  Further, at the time of member registration, member information such as a regular member ID and a regular member password and credit information are associated with each other and stored in the regular member management table 45D. Thereby, the service for members can be provided to the customer who performed the electronic payment.

(Second Embodiment)
A second embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The apparatus configuration of the present embodiment uses the network system 1 as in the first embodiment, and the same reference numerals are given to the same parts, and the detailed description thereof is used. In the present embodiment, portions different from the first embodiment will be mainly described.

  The CPU 21 of the ECR 2 transmits the security ID to the information center server 4 through the communication unit 26 in cooperation with the second print program stored in the storage unit 25. Then, the temporary ID and temporary password corresponding to the security ID are received from the information center server 4 via the communication unit 26. Here, the security ID refers to an arbitrary identification number determined by the customer.

  The input unit 22 receives an input of a security ID. The input unit 22 outputs the input security ID to the CPU 21. The storage unit 25 stores a second printing program.

  The CPU 41 of the information center server 4 receives the security ID from the ECR 2 through the communication unit 46 in cooperation with the second member determination program, and receives the temporary member ID and temporary password transmitted to the ECR 2 through the communication unit 46. The information is stored in the storage unit 45 in association with the customer ID.

  Further, the CPU 41 performs member registration by referring to the temporary member ID, temporary password, and customer ID stored in the storage unit 45 at the time of member registration in cooperation with the second member registration program.

  The storage unit 45 stores a second member determination program and a second member registration program. The storage unit 45 stores a temporary member management table 45J instead of the temporary member management table 45E. As illustrated in FIG. 13, the temporary member management table 45J includes a temporary member ID 489, a temporary password 490, a security ID 491 as a customer ID, a store ID 492, a payment ID 493, and a payment date and time 494. In the present embodiment, the security ID 491 is a 4-digit number string.

  With reference to FIGS. 14 and 15, the second printing process executed in ECR2 will be described. The second printing process is a process of receiving an input of a security ID and transmitting the security ID to the information center server 4.

  For example, it is assumed that a payment amount or the like is input through the input unit 22 of the ECR 2 by a store clerk at the time of payment. Then, triggered by the fact that an instruction to execute the second printing process is input via the input unit 22 by a store clerk on the store side, the CPU 21 reads the second print process from the storage unit 25 and appropriately expands the RAM 23. The second printing process is executed in cooperation with the printing program and the CPU 21.

  First, it is determined whether or not an input of a cash deposit key has been accepted (step S101). If it is determined that the input of the cash deposit key has been accepted (step S101; YES), the print information I is printed on the receipt R (step S112). In the case of this step, as the print information I, the print settlement information K including the settlement amount and the like (print settlement information K in FIG. 10) is printed on the receipt R.

  If it is determined in step S101 that an input of a cash deposit key has not been accepted (step S101; YES), it is determined whether or not an input of a settlement key has been accepted (step S102). When it is determined that the payment key input is not accepted (step S102; NO), the process proceeds to step S101.

  If it is determined in step S102 that the input of the settlement key has been accepted (step S102; YES), it is determined whether or not credit information has been received (step S103). If it is determined that the credit information has not been received (step S103; NO), the process proceeds to step S103.

  In step S103, when it is determined that the credit information is received (step S103; YES), the settlement information including the credit information is transmitted to the information center server 4 (step S104). After execution of step S104, it is determined whether or not the member determination flag transmitted in step S311 of the second member determination process of the information center server 4 has been received (step S105). When it is determined that the member determination flag has not been received (step S105; NO), the process proceeds to step S105.

  If it is determined in step S105 that the member determination flag has been received (step S105; YES), the print information I is expanded in the work area of the RAM 23 (step S106). For example, as the print information I, the store name, location, payment amount, etc. (that is, print payment information K) are expanded in the work area of the RAM 23. At this time, the print area start point, width, font size, character pitch, layout, turnover information, etc. are determined for each type of print information I.

  After execution of step S106, it is determined whether or not the customer is a member with reference to the member determination flag received from the information center server 4 (step S107). When it is determined that the customer is not a member (step S107; NO), it is determined whether or not an input of a security ID has been accepted (step S108). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a security ID designated by the customer has been input via the input unit 22. If it is determined in step S108 that the security ID has not been input (step S108; NO), the process proceeds to step S108. If it is determined in step S108 that the input of the security ID has been accepted (step S108; YES), the security ID is transmitted to the information center server 4 (step S109).

  After execution of step S109, the temporary member ID, temporary password, and registration information T transmitted in step S315 of the second member determination process of the information center server 4 are received (step S110). Then, the received temporary member ID, temporary password, and registration information T are included in the print information I (step S111). After execution of step S111, the process proceeds to step S112. In this case, the print settlement information K, registration information T, temporary ID, and temporary password are printed on the receipt R as the print information I. That is, the print information I shown in FIG. 10 is printed on the receipt R.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the customer is a member (step S107; YES), the process proceeds to step S112. In this case, the print settlement information K shown in FIG. 10 is printed on the receipt R.

  Next, the second member determination process executed by the information center server 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. The second member determination process determines whether or not the customer who has made the payment is a member. If it is determined that the customer is not a member, the storage unit 45 associates the temporary member ID and temporary password with the security ID. It is a process to memorize.

  For example, in the information center server 4, when the payment information transmitted from the ECR 2 is received via the communication unit 46 as a trigger, the CPU 41 reads out the second information that is read from the storage unit 45 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 43. A second member determination process is executed in cooperation with the member determination program and the CPU 41.

  First, based on the settlement information received from the ECR 2, it is determined whether or not the customer who has performed the settlement process is a member (step S301). When it is determined that the customer who has performed the settlement process is a member (step S301; YES), a member determination flag is set to the member (step S302). After execution of step S302, the process proceeds to step S309 described later.

  If it is determined in step S301 that the customer who has performed the settlement process is not a member (step S301; NO), it is determined whether or not the customer who has performed the settlement process is a temporary member (step S303). When it is determined that the customer who has made the payment process is a temporary member (step S303; YES), a member determination flag is set to the temporary member (step S304). After execution of step S304, the process proceeds to step S309 described later.

  If it is determined in step S303 that the customer who has made the payment process is not a temporary member (step S303; NO), the temporary member is combined with the terminal ID of the electronic payment terminal 3 and the payment date and time included in the payment information received from ECR2. An ID is generated (step S305).

  After execution of step S305, a random number is generated, and a temporary password is generated from the random number (step S306). Then, a record is registered in the temporary member management table 45J (step S307). After execution of step S307, the temporary member determination flag is set to non-member (step S308). Then, a record is registered in the sales management table 45F (step S309).

  Then, a record is registered in the point management table 45G (step S310). After execution of step S310, a member determination flag is transmitted to ECR2 (step S311). And it is discriminate | determined with reference to a member determination flag whether a customer is a member (step S312). When the member determination flag is set to the member and it is determined that the customer is a member (step S312; YES), the second member determination process ends.

  If the member determination flag is set to a non-member or temporary member in step S312, and it is determined that the customer is not a member (step S312; NO), the security transmitted in step S108 in the second print processing of ECR2 It is determined whether or not an ID has been received (step S313). When it is determined that the security ID has not been received (step S313; NO), the process proceeds to step S313.

  If it is determined in step S313 that the security ID has been received (step S313; YES), the security ID is registered in the temporary member management table 45J (step S314). That is, the temporary member ID and temporary password and the security ID are stored in the storage unit 45 in association with each other.

  After execution of step S314, the temporary member ID, temporary password, and registration information T are transmitted to ECR2 (step S315). After execution of step S315, the second member determination process ends.

  Next, the second member registration process executed by the information center server 4 will be described with reference to FIG. The second member registration process is a process of registering a customer who is a temporary member as a regular member with reference to the temporary member ID, the temporary password, and the customer ID.

  For example, the receipt R printed in the second printing process is referred to by a customer, and an access instruction is executed to the printed URL of the information center server 4 via the input unit (not shown) of the mobile phone C2. . Here, it is assumed that the mobile phone C2 is connected to the information center server 4 via the communication network N and a base station (not shown). In this case, in the information center server 4, when the access instruction from the mobile phone C <b> 2 is received via the communication unit 46, etc., the second read out from the storage unit 45 by the CPU 41 and appropriately expanded in the RAM 43. The member registration program and the CPU 41 cooperate to execute the second member registration process.

  First, a temporary member ID and a temporary password are accepted (step S501). Then, it is determined whether or not the accepted temporary member ID and temporary password match the temporary member ID 489 and temporary password 490 stored in the temporary member management table 45J of the storage unit 45 (step S502). If it is determined that they do not match (step S502; NO), the process proceeds to step S501.

  If it is determined in step S502 that they match (step S502; YES), a security ID is accepted (step S503). Specifically, the security ID input via the input unit of the customer's mobile phone C2 is received via the communication unit 46. Then, it is determined whether or not the accepted security ID matches the security ID 491 stored in the temporary member management table 45J of the storage unit 45 (step S504). If it is determined in step S504 that they do not match (step S504; NO), the process proceeds to step S501.

  If it is determined in step S504 that they match (step S504; YES), a regular member ID and a regular password are accepted (step S505). Then, personal information is accepted (step S506). After the execution of step S506, the second member registration process ends.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the security ID received by the input unit 22 of the ECR 2, the temporary member ID, and the temporary password are associated with each other and stored in the storage unit 45 of the information center server 4. Then, member registration is performed with reference to the temporary member ID, temporary password, and security ID stored in the storage unit 45. As a result, a third party who does not know the security ID cannot perform member registration. For this reason, for example, it is possible to prevent a third party who has picked up the receipt R from registering the member without permission.

  The description in the above embodiment is an example of the data processing device, the information server device, the network system, and the program according to the present invention, and is not limited to this.

For example, in the above embodiment, the temporary member ID, the temporary password, and the registration information T are printed on the receipt R. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the temporary member ID, the temporary password, and the registration information T may be displayed on a display unit such as a mobile phone as a customer display device, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), or a PC (Personal Computer).
In this case, for example, by performing infrared communication between the ECR 2 having the infrared communication function and the display device having the infrared communication function, the temporary member ID, the temporary password, and the registration information are transferred from the ECR 2 to the mobile phone C2. T is transmitted.

  Further, when the member registration process is performed, the mobile phone C2 accesses the information center server 4, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the information center server 4 may be accessed using a PC, PDA or the like instead of the mobile phone C2.

  Although the registration information is received from the information center server 4 and the received registration information is printed on the receipt R, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the registration information stored in the storage unit 25 of the ECR 2 may be read and printed on the receipt R.

  Further, although the security ID is a four-digit number string, it is not limited to this. For example, the security ID may be a numeric string or character string having an arbitrary length.

  In addition, the detailed configuration and detailed operation of the network system 1 in the above embodiment can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
