Mileage Point Integration System {Total system to exchange mileage for money.}

The present invention relates to an integrated mileage point system using the Internet. More specifically, the mileage point provided by various criteria can be exchanged for cash with a clear standard to increase customer satisfaction and can be used as a cash value. It's about a new mileage point integration system using the Internet, which can be transferred to your account.

In recent years, as the Internet has been rapidly developed, the number of Internet shopping malls and advertisement sites that advertise the products of member companies are rapidly increasing. Such an internet shopping mall or an advertisement site uses a mileage point payment system that pays a predetermined mileage point to a customer who accesses the company's site to purchase goods or view an advertisement.

Thus, customers can purchase goods at low cost, and each member company can encourage customers to constantly advertise and purchase their goods.

However, since the mileage points are determined differently for each member company in value and unit, there was a problem that the mileage points accumulated in one member company cannot be used in another member company. In addition, the company operating the existing mileage point integration site collects mileage points provided by each member company, pays a certain amount of goods to customers, bills each member company, or uses a portion of the dues received from each member company. He chooses to buy the goods paid to the customer. However, since this method is to allow the customer to select one of several kinds of items specified in the Internet shopping mall, the range of selection is very narrow and there is a problem in that it is inconvenient to use.

The current trend is to integrate the mileage so that it can be used on other sites, but the trend is toward the integrated mileage, but this is also due to the ambiguity of the mileage value in the individual's use of the mileage points received instead of the discounted amount. It is a reality that we are experiencing inconvenience, and even if the mileage is integrated, it may cause conflict between member companies due to the accountability for the used mileage when the integrated mileage is used.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above problems, the first object of the present invention is to integrate the integrated mileage system that can facilitate the use of members by accumulating the ambiguity ambiguity in cash to confirm the value To provide.

A second object of the present invention is to provide an integrated mileage system that can resolve the conflict of who is responsible for payment due to the use of the integrated mileage by selecting the mileage to be used directly by the customer.

It is a third object of the present invention to provide a mileage system for promoting member companies that provide differentiated mileage that provides mileage points that can be returned in cash or used as cash value.

It is a fourth object of the present invention to provide a system that ensures maximum autonomy of members so that non-member companies can use cash mileage provided by each member company.

The fifth object of the present invention is to maximize customer satisfaction by providing various promotional promotions to members in order to prevent the outflow of cash generated by using mileage points converted into cash provided by each member at other sites. It is to provide a mileage system.

A sixth object of the present invention is to provide a mileage system that can receive back the accumulated mileage by cash.

The seventh object of the present invention is to minimize the burden of member companies by distributing the amount of money to be transferred by selecting the remittance date on the integrated mileage site or the member company in order to prevent excessive cash outflow when the member wants to remit cash mileage to the account.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 illustrates a mileage point integration system according to the present invention, and illustrates an mileage point integration system using the Internet applied to an advertisement site for advertising an article of an internet shopping mall or a member company that can purchase goods through the Internet. In more detail, the customer 101 can check the accumulated mileage through the member companies 103 and 104 in the integrated mileage site 102, and can use it when purchasing goods of the member companies 103 and 104, as well as the financial institution 105. You can also get your mileage back in cash.

The mileage point integration system is composed of an Internet server that has a database in which mileage points of each customer are built, and an A member company 103 that allows a customer to access through the Internet. Upon accessing 103 or viewing an advertisement or purchasing an item, the mileage point is paid to the customer according to a predetermined standard set by each member company, which is the same as the conventional mileage point payment system. In this case, as shown in FIG. 6, a click button such as a banner advertisement, a product icon, or a link button of each member company is arranged on the Internet site, and by clicking the click button 603, an advertisement or a purchase can be purchased. The mileage point 602 paid to the customer is transmitted to the integrated mileage site 102 via the Internet and stored in a database.

The mileage provided in the case of using different B member companies 104 is stored in the database of the integrated mileage site 102, and at the request of the customer, the mileage points stored in cash from various member companies are corrected to the mileage points of other member companies. You can also get a discount or a cash discount. In addition, the integrated mileage site 102 is connected to the payment server 105 of the financial institution can be sent in cash if the customer wants, the transfer is possible when the cash mileage of the members reaches a certain amount, Naturally, the predetermined amount may be set at the member companies 103 and 104 or the integrated mileage site 102. In addition, the remittance may select the date of remittance from the member company or the integrated mileage site 102 so as to prevent damage due to excessive cash outflow of the member company 103, 104 when the member requests remittance.

For example, if a customer accesses member A's website to view member A's advertisements or purchases an item, member A sends mileage points to the integrated mileage site, which converts the mileage into cash equivalent to the member A's criteria. Since it is accumulated in the customer's database 102, the customer may purchase the goods of the A member company 103 using this mileage point. If the customer wants to purchase the goods of the B member company 104, the customer can use the cash value accumulated through the A member company or convert the mileage points of the B member company to purchase the goods of the B member company. In the event that each member cashes the mileage through the integrated mileage site, the member companies must provide the amount at the same time as transferring the mileage to the integrated mileage site. Capital 107 can sometimes be used in this process. If a customer wants to purchase another member's goods or services using the mileage of two A and B members, for example, the customer owns 1,000 won cash (A company + B company) due to mileage points. If the mileage is 300 won from A member company and 700 won from B member company and 500 won is used to purchase goods, the customer will earn each member company to prevent friction between member companies due to who is responsible for how much payment will be made. It is desirable to be able to check the amount of money that has been earned and it is recommended that customers choose the mileage of the member company to use when using the accumulated amount.

As a preferred embodiment will be described in more detail.

Example 1

There is a person named Hong Gil-dong who is active in e-commerce through various sites through the Internet. One person, Hong Gil-dong, wondered how much mileage the Internet providers offered to him a day, and Hong began to investigate the mileage he owned. Hong Gil-dong spent a lot of time discovering his mileage on several frequently used sites, but the above mileage points didn't seem to be available right away, and he needed to earn more points to use them. I gave up using that point. In the meantime, I went to a site where I could collect the mileage provided by various sites and use it in one place, but I could not feel the necessity to use it because it was a product or service that was not useful to me, and there was no good standard to judge the value of the collected mileage. When I stopped at the integrated mileage site based on the present invention, I couldn't feel the charm about mileage anymore. Hong Gil-dong can use even small mileage, and the mileage is corrected by cash value, so it is easy to use when purchasing goods and a certain amount of money. It was a great satisfaction that there was a service that could be visited in cash, and Hong Kil-Dong used the site that is a member company of integrated mileage.

Example 2)

Hong Gil-dong, while making continuous purchases on the integrated mileage site according to the present invention, learned that the prices of the member companies of the site is expensive, and decided to no longer use the integrated mileage site mileage that he accumulated I cashed out the points. Anxious about the cash outflow, member companies began to compete in the free market in order not to miss their members, which resulted in price competitiveness rather than other sites. Many members came in and generated more sales.

Example 3

Member A was a well-funded company and had no problem cashing back the mileage it provided to its members. However, the B-member, who was not well-funded, wanted to join as a member of the integrated mileage site by returning the customer mileage to cash, but was unable to pay the cash corresponding to the customer mileage. Signed up as a member of Mileage Site.

Example 4

He wanted to subtract a total of 700 won to his account by adding 400 won for 200 points earned to member A and 300 won for 300 points earned for member B, but only withdrawal amount more than 500 I was disappointed by the condition that it was possible and I could withdraw only the amount of 500 won or more from the B company.However, when purchasing goods from the member companies within the integrated mileage site, it was possible to use even a small amount of money and many of the points provided by the member companies when using the points. I saw the many benefits of promotional promotions and I thought it would be better to use them here than withdraw money.

Example 5

Members A and B were reluctant to join the integrated mileage site, fearing that the company's circumstances would be difficult due to excessive withdrawal of mileage returned in cash. However, I was worried that the member company or consolidated mileage would minimize the burden of the member company by adjusting the individual withdrawal date on the day when all members could withdraw the money. When I watched other member companies that joined as members of the company, I noticed that a lot of customers visited and increased sales due to the promotion of a site that returns mileage to cash rather than cash spending due to mileage. .

As described above, according to the present invention, each member's Internet server 103, 104 is loaded from the member's Internet server, the existing accumulated mileage points to the integrated mileage site 102, the customer is scattered mileage Points can be managed in one place, and mileage points, which are difficult to measure, can be appropriately corrected according to each member's calculation criteria to be converted into cash with clear value to increase customer satisfaction and satisfaction with member services.
