Description

Mobile communication terminal with barcode reading function and electronic commerce method using the same {Bar code reading mobile phone and method of electronic commerce}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal and an electronic commerce method using the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a configuration of a terminal having a barcode reading function and a method of purchasing goods and making a reservation service using the terminal.

In recent years, as the Internet becomes more popular, electronic commerce through the Internet is becoming a new method of commerce in addition to the conventional field trading. In general, the electronic commerce method is characterized by a computer-based communication between a seller who opens a shopping mall homepage on a global communication network called the Internet and a buyer who wants to enter a shopping mall.

General and basic internet shopping mall concepts are explained. Certain sellers open their own shopping mall homepages in a computer communication network (hereinafter referred to as the Internet) such as the World Wide Web. Buyers can browse the mall by connecting to the Internet and browsing various Internet sites. In order to purchase a product desired by a buyer looking at the product information provided by the shopping mall, the credit card to be paid is presented while ordering the corresponding product through the Internet by an order method prepared by the shopping mall. The seller who opened the shopping mall asks the credit card company to inquire and pay the buyer's credit card, and the credit card company pays the payment amount to the seller if there is no problem with the credit card. The seller then delivers the goods to the buyer by appropriate means. After a certain period of time, the credit card company will charge the card amount to the buyer.

The Internet shopping mall method utilizes the recently developed communication protocol, image processing technology, software, multimedia, and multitasking technology, and does not need a wide store and management personnel as in a conventional market transaction, and does not require the labor of the buyer. It is easy to find a product, and it is attracting much attention from many operators because it has a greater promotional effect than its efforts.

Accordingly, technical attempts to promote such electronic commerce and related advertisements using the Internet have been performed in recent years, both at home and abroad. For example, Korean Patent No. 10-0197944 (Internet advertising apparatus and method) is a technology for an apparatus and method for advertising suitable for a user using the Internet, and Korean Patent Publication No. 1999-75188 (Internet network The active product information providing system and its operation method in the home shopping service through the present invention relates to a system that can actively provide information on the product desired by the user, and Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2000-12750 (Order Agency for Internet shopping brokerage site) Method) relates to a shopping mall that selects goods of several shopping malls in a comparison site that can be compared shopping, puts them in a cart, and processes the orders on a one-time basis. To search for the item you want, request a purchase for a particular item, Will purchase per product on the mall to be delivered to its members.

In the case of Japan, Japanese Patent Publication (Same as below) (Pyeong) 10-49591 is an Internet advertising method, (Pyeong) 10-49592 is a product brokerage sales system, (Pyeong) 9-34902 is an advertisement information supply method, 10-149396 is a commerce system, and (9) 288696 is a description of a mail order method using the Internet. In the United States, for example, US patent 5890138 is a computer reverse auction, 5937391 is an online shopping mall, 5890137 is an online shopping mall and payment method, 5740549 is an information providing and advertising method, 5745681 is a stateless shopping method, and 5794210 is an Internet advertisement. Techniques on the method.

However, conventional electronic commerce is not necessarily convenient. First of all, you need to connect to the Internet, so at least you need a PC or a set-top box to access the shopping mall. This is to limit the buyer in time and place.

In addition, since the product cannot be confirmed in real life and the product must be purchased only with the information displayed on the site, in this respect, the consumer's satisfaction is not given to the conventional market transaction.

Not all buyers are familiar with computers and the Internet. Although the preferences for the internet have become easier in recent years, and the P & P capabilities of PCs have evolved, computers and the Internet are one of the more difficult to handle among electronics, and not all buyers are familiar with it. There is a tendency to be limited to.

In this regard, the Applicant uses the mobile communication terminal, which is rapidly spreading recently, while opening an Internet shopping mall, and a mobile communication subscriber scans a barcode anytime and anywhere, and transmits a barcode information signal to an e-commerce server through a mobile communication server. If you can check on your device and place your order on your device,

Buyer can search product supply information such as price and delivery date by barcode attached to advertisement, real, packaging, etc. without any time and place constraints. The present invention has been completed by combining the technology with the Internet shopping mall technology.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal having a barcode reading function.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for realizing electronic commerce using a mobile communication terminal having a barcode reading function.

Mobile communication terminal with barcode reading function

The mobile communication terminal according to the present invention comprises a bar code scanning means for scanning a bar code and outputting an analog signal, a decoder means for converting the analog signal into a digital bar code information signal, and modulating and transmitting the bar code information signal output from the decoder means. A transmission means, a CPU for controlling the operation of the terminal, a program for operating the CPU and a memory in which data is stored, and a key operation means for operating the program by operating a program stored in the memory.

In the above configuration, the program stored in the memory includes a bar code scan command unit for operating the bar code scan means, and the key operation means includes a button for operating the bar code scan means.

An embodiment of a mobile communication terminal (hereinafter referred to as "terminal") according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1E.

Fig. 1A shows an embodiment in which a barcode reader (barcode reader) is built in a terminal, the configuration of which is as follows.

A barcode scanner 11 for scanning a barcode and outputting the analog signal;

A decoder 13 for converting the analog signal into a digital barcode information signal;

Transmitter 15 for modulating and transmitting the barcode information signal output from the decoder,

CPU 17 for controlling the operation of the terminal,

A memory 19 storing programs and data for operating the CPU,

Key operation unit 21 for operating the terminal by operating the program stored in the memory.

Each component is explained.

The barcode scanner 11 scans a printed barcode and outputs it as an analog signal. The barcode scanner 11 is mostly composed of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, and the light emitted from the light emitting element is reflected on the barcode to detect the amount of light reflected from the barcode by the light receiving element. Identify the pattern of the barcode. LEDs, semiconductor lasers, and the like are used as light sources, and photoTRs and CCDs are used as light receiving elements. There are many kinds of barcode scanners known at present. For example, there are light pen scanners, gun scanners, slot scanners, countertop scanners, etc., which are classified into portable / fixed, contact / non-contact, and the like.

The decoder 13 converts an analog signal output from the barcode scanner 11 into a digital barcode information signal. As is widely known, a bar code is a black stripe arranged on a white background in different widths to contain information according to the width of the stripe, and the barcode scanner reads the bar code to convert information about the width of the stripe into an electrical signal. Device. The decoder forms an analog signal output from the barcode scanner and converts it into a digital signal, thereby enabling digital processing by the CPU in a later step. The technique of reading an barcode signal and outputting an analog signal and converting the waveform into a digital signal according to the difference between the reflectances of black and white is a technique used by the public in the art.

The transmitter 15 loads a carrier (carrier) on a voice frequency signal AF received through a microphone from a terminal, converts the carrier into a high frequency signal RF, and transmits the air to the air through an antenna. The transmitter 15 includes such a conversion circuit, an amplification circuit for raising the output power, an oscillation circuit for generating a carrier, and the like.

The CPU 17 serves to control the operation of all digital components in the terminal. The CPU currently used in the handset is embedded in the MSM (Baseband Modem ASIC). The MSM contains a modulator, a demodulator, and a VOCODER.

The memory 19 is composed of a flash memory for storing a program for operating a terminal, an SRAM for temporarily storing data necessary for program execution, a terminal unique number (ESN), and a ROM for permanently storing inactive data. The self-operation of the terminal hardware and the functional operation by the user's operation are performed by the software program stored in the memory and the CPU control is performed by the microprogrammed control. Therefore, if the software program is changed without changing the terminal hardware configuration, The function of the terminal can be changed. This is a technique well known to those skilled in the art.

The key operation unit 21 is an input device of the CPU 17 for giving a user an instruction to a program stored in the memory 19. Most terminals provide convenience functions by adding a few function keys along with the numeric keys that are basically required. It is obvious that the key control unit which has already been configured can also change its functional use by changing the software program as described above. For example, by changing a program using an existing key button, a barcode related command such as a barcode scan function and a barcode information sending function can be input.

Using a terminal configured as described above, a mobile communication subscriber (hereinafter referred to as "subscriber") selects a barcode scanning function and a barcode information sending function by operating a key operation unit 21 and attaches it to a product or advertisement flyer or publication. Can be sent to the mobile communication server.

Figure 1b shows another embodiment of a terminal according to the present invention, which is basically a format in which the terminal and the barcode reader are separated. The configuration is as follows.

A barcode reader comprising a barcode scanner 11 for scanning a barcode and outputting the analog signal, a decoder 13 for converting the analog signal into a digital barcode information signal, and a first connector 23 for outputting the barcode information signal ( 10).

A terminal (20) comprising a CPU (17), a memory for storing a program and data for operating the CPU (19), and a key operating portion (21) for operating a program stored in the memory.

This embodiment has the same basic configuration as the embodiment of Fig. 1A. However, the bar code reader 10 is connected to the bar code reader 10 by using the second connector 25 installed in the terminal 20 without the built-in bar code reader. In the present exemplary embodiment, only a pin configuration of the second connector 25 may be changed in software without changing the internal hardware configuration of a general terminal. Description of each component is the same as the embodiment of Figure 1a and will not be described separately.

FIG. 1D shows an appearance configuration diagram of a terminal having the configuration of FIG. 1B. (a) is a perspective view showing that the small fixed portable barcode reader 10 can be connected to the terminal 20, and (b) connects the first connector 23 to the cable of the light pen-type barcode reader 10; To the second connector 25 of the terminal 20.

Figure 1c shows another embodiment of a terminal according to the present invention. Similarly to the embodiment of Fig. 1B, the terminal and the barcode reader are separated, but the connection method between the terminals adopts the connection method by infrared communication, not the connection by the connector.

A barcode scanner 11 for scanning a barcode and outputting it as an analog signal, a decoder 13 for converting the analog signal into a digital barcode information signal, and a modulator 27 for modulating the infrared light emitting means by PCM modulating the barcode information signal. Configured barcode reader 10 ',

However, the demodulator 29 and the light receiving element 33 are provided in the conventional terminal 20 'without the built-in barcode reader in the terminal, and the modulator 27 and the infrared diode 31 are provided in the barcode reader 10'. It is installed to enable infrared communication between each other.

In the barcode reader 10 ', the barcode scanner 11 and the decoder 13 are the same as described above, and thus description thereof is omitted. The PCM modulator 27 is a device for infrared communication of a decoder output signal, and is generally used in TV, audio remote control, and wireless mouse. For accurate communication between the infrared diode 31 and the light receiving element 33, codes promised to each other are generated or an error correction circuit is added.

The modulated infrared light emitted from the infrared diode 31 is received by the infrared light receiving element 33 and demodulated by the demodulator 29. As a result, the original barcode information signal signal is restored, and the barcode information signal signal can be sent to the mobile communication server by the above-described processing. The description of the remaining components is omitted.

The infrared diode 31 is exposed to the fixed portable barcode reader 10 'and the light receiving element 33 is exposed to the terminal 20', indicating that infrared communication can be performed with each other.

Electronic Commerce Method Using Terminal with Barcode Reading Function

2 is a schematic diagram of a method for performing electronic commerce using the terminal described above, wherein a barcode reading function of a terminal of a mobile communication server in a system in which a mobile communication server, an electronic commerce server, and a product provider are connected through the Internet is shown. This is done using. Briefly explain the concept.

a. First, the subscriber operates the key operation unit of the terminal to scan the barcode and sends the barcode information signal to the mobile communication server.

b. The mobile communication server transmits a bar code information signal to the e-commerce server and requests for product supply information (availability of supply, delivery date, price, sales unit, etc.).

c. When the e-commerce server finds a product supplier on the bar code information and instructs to send the product supply information, the product supplier transmits the product supply information to the e-commerce server.

d. The e-commerce server transmits and notifies the product supply information received from the product provider to the mobile communication server, and the mobile communication server processes the product supply information and sends it to the terminal.

e. The subscriber checks the product supply information displayed on his terminal and selects the order function. When the order function is selected in the terminal, the order request signal is transmitted to the mobile communication server, and the order request signal includes the order information inputted by the subscriber (such as desired quantity or capacity).

f. The mobile communication server transmits the order request signal and the order information to the e-commerce server. In this case, the subscriber information (name, address, credit card information) retrieved from the mobile communication server is included.

g. The e-commerce server receives the order request signal and requests the supplier of the product to supply the product. Then, the product supplier delivers the product to the subscriber's address according to the subscriber information.

h. In the above, the credit card company is linked to the e-commerce server, the subscriber can make a credit inquiry and payment when the order is requested.

In the above arrangement, the goods may be tangible, intangible, or reserved. That is, the subscriber may receive an intangible service service from a supplier by scanning a bar code, or the subscriber may receive a reservation service such as a movie, a play, or a transportation. The above configuration represents the technical idea of the present invention and is not limited to any particular embodiment.

FIG. 3 is a detailed embodiment of the configuration of FIG. 2 and illustrates in detail a method of purchasing a product from a product supplier. This e-commerce method is composed as follows.

Product Supply Information Request Step [100]

1) step of scanning a barcode by operating a mobile communication terminal [101].

Since a menu for requesting product supply information can be set by a software program as described with reference to FIGS. 1A to 1E, when the product supply information request menu is set by operating the terminal, it is switched to the barcode scan mode and embedded in the terminal (or the terminal). An external barcode scanner is activated to scan the barcode. Commodity supply information is information provided by a commodity supplier, for example, information such as availability of the commodity, delivery date, price, and supplyable unit (number, capacity, weight, etc.).

2) transmitting the scanned barcode information signal to the mobile communication server [102].

As described above, the barcode scan analog signal scanned by the barcode scanner is converted into a barcode information signal which is a digital code by a decoder. The barcode information signal is transmitted to the mobile communication server by the CPU and the transmitter in the terminal. Depending on the program of the terminal, it can be sent out at the same time as the scan is completed. Of course, the path that the barcode information signal reaches to the mobile communication server depends on the general terminal-to-base station communication method. It would be common to be in a cellular fashion.

3) requesting product supply information by transmitting a barcode information signal from the mobile communication server to the electronic commerce server [104].

The mobile communication server transmits the received barcode information signal to the e-commerce server. This can be done through a network such as the Internet. The bar code information signal is processed as a single data in the mobile communication server and is transmitted directly to the e-commerce server without having to decode the information content.

One step can be added at this stage. That is, when the mobile communication server receives the barcode information signal from the terminal, the subscriber DB 35 is retrieved using the telephone number of the corresponding subscriber terminal to retrieve the subscriber information and stored in the temporary DB 37 [103]. The subscriber information includes the name, address, and credit card information of the subscriber, which is required later in the order request step [200].

4) the e-commerce server interprets the bar code information signal to identify the product supplier [105], and requests the product supplier information [106] to transmit the product supply information sent by the product provider to the mobile communication server [ 107].

When the e-commerce server receives the barcode information signal from the mobile communication server, the barcode is interpreted to read which product provider's barcode [105]. Of course, there must be an appointment for barcode assignment between the e-commerce server and the product supplier in advance. In other words, the product supplier is registered as a member in the e-commerce server and the product provider is assigned a barcode according to a predetermined rule.

Barcodes have standard bar codes such as KAN or ISBN, and private non-standard bar codes. In the case of the present invention, a product supplier in the electronic commerce according to the present invention may be a product supplier who has been assigned a code assignment in advance with the e-commerce server regardless of whether it is a standard type or a non-standard type.

When the barcode is found and the product supplier is found, the e-commerce server requests the product supplier to send the product supply information, collects the information on the supplied product supply information, and transmits the information to the mobile communication server [107]. The mobile communication server processes the product supply information so that it can be displayed on the terminal.

5) when the product communication information is transmitted from the mobile communication server to the mobile communication terminal [108], displaying the information on the mobile communication terminal [109].

Steps 4) and 5) above are performed in the same manner as the aforementioned SMS. That is, the product supply information message transmitted from the e-commerce server is received by the mobile communication server and transmitted to the terminal to be displayed as text information. The subscriber checks the product supply information displayed on the terminal, decides whether to order the corresponding product, and requests the order.

Order Request Step [200]

In order to check the product supply information requested by the subscriber in the terminal 5) in the terminal and place an order, select the order menu by operating the key button of the terminal. It has been described above that adding an order menu by changing a software program of the terminal is a technical matter apparent to those skilled in the art. At present, most terminals provide an after-sales service that changes and updates a program stored at the time of initial shipment. Explain when a subscriber has entered the order request phase.

6) when the subscriber operates the mobile communication terminal to place an order, an order request signal is sent to the mobile communication server [201].

The order request signal may be sent to the mobile communication server by inputting a dedicated number (for example, * 88) by selecting an order request menu provided in the terminal and pressing a transmission button. The order request menu preferably includes a menu for inputting order information such as a required quantity and capacity of goods. Its implementation is also possible by program change. For example, if you press the order selection menu, the required quantity input menu is displayed, and the required quantity can be configured by pressing the required quantity by number and pressing * or #. The unit of quantity required will depend on what is indicated in the product supply information provided by the supplier. That is, the number, capacity, weight, etc. may be a unit.

7) transmitting an order request signal from the mobile communication server to the e-commerce server [203].

When the mobile communication server receives the order request signal from the terminal, the mobile communication server transmits the order request signal to the e-commerce server. At this time, it is preferable that the order request signal includes the order information and the subscriber information input by the subscriber. Ordering information has been described above. The subscriber information has been described in step 3) that the mobile communication server, which has received the barcode information signal from the terminal, retrieves the subscriber DB 35 and stores it in the temporary DB 37. Stored in the temporary DB 37, the subscriber information is retrieved by the mobile communication server [202] and sent to the e-commerce server with the order information [203]. Therefore, the e-commerce server can grasp the name, address, and credit card information of the order requester without a separate query. The e-commerce server sends an order request signal to the product supplier.

8) When the e-commerce server makes a request for supply of goods to the goods supplier [205], the goods supplier supplies goods to the mobile subscriber [206].

Since the e-commerce server receives the subscriber's order request through the mobile communication server, when the product provider requests the product provider to send (deliver) the product by sending the order information and the subscriber information [205], the product provider sends the product to the subscriber. Deliver to address [206]. In this step, it is preferable that the e-commerce server and the credit card company server are connected through the Internet, so that the e-commerce server performs a credit inquiry to the credit card company server according to the subscriber information received from the mobile communication server [204]. Do. This step is necessary for making credit checks and making credit card payments. Of course, if you use a separate payment means this step is not necessary.

Importantly, in this e-commerce method, it is useful that the information of the mobile subscriber is already stored in the mobile communication server and is always updated with the latest information. Therefore, the e-commerce server according to the payment method contracted by the mobile carrier is useful. It is preferable that the settlement is made. That is, it is preferable to charge the bill for the goods purchased through the e-commerce server when the mobile communication company charges the communication fee. However, this is a non-technical operation of a shopping mall operation, and any payment method is included in the technical idea of the present invention as long as the process according to the present invention remains the same.

4 is a view showing another embodiment of the configuration of FIG. 2 specifically showing a method of making a reservation of a ticket or the like from a booking service provider (hereinafter, a service provider). The e-commerce method is basically operated by the configuration shown in Fig. 2, and is similar to the commodity supply e-commerce method described in the case of Fig. 3 above. Therefore, overlapping portions will be briefly described or omitted, and only differences will be described in detail.

Ticket Information Request Step [300]

The reservation information is information provided by a service provider. For example, information such as availability of a corresponding service (theater, movie, transportation, etc.), service time, price, and the like corresponds to this. In the present embodiment, the subscriber is configured to request a reservation information by scanning a bar code with a terminal and confirming the reservation information.

The steps up to this point are the same as in the embodiment (Fig. 3) related to the supply of goods. What's different is that it adds a step of actually getting a ticket after making a reservation request. To implement this, first, a reservation request is made, and when a reservation is made, the service provider grants a reservation password to the reservation requester. The advance requester goes to the service location before the service time (showing date, show date, transportation departure, etc.) and enters his terminal number and booking password at the service provider's terminal. If they match, the ticket is confirmed to be correct and the ticket is printed on the spot.

The detailed description is as follows.

1) scanning a barcode by operating a mobile communication terminal [301].

When the user selects the reservation information request menu by operating the terminal, the barcode scanning mode is switched to operate a barcode scanner built in the terminal (or attached to the outside of the terminal) to scan the barcode. Bar codes can be attached to outdoor billboards, flyers, magazines, and actual service places (theatres, airports, stations, terminals, etc.).

2) transmitting the scanned barcode information signal to the mobile communication server [302].

3) the mobile communication server retrieves the subscriber information including the terminal number of the subscriber from the subscriber DB 35 and stores it in the temporary DB [303].

In the present embodiment, the subscriber's terminal number of the subscriber information is required. The information required later in the advance request step [400] will then be described. In addition, it is preferable that the credit card information is additionally included in the subscriber information in order to make a credit inquiry for payment by the credit card. I will explain later.

4) requesting the reservation information by transmitting the barcode information signal to the reservation server in the mobile communication server [304].

5) analyzing the barcode information signal in the booking server [305] to identify the service provider, requesting the reservation information from the service provider [306] and transmitting the booking information sent by the service provider to the mobile communication server [307].

6) When the reservation information is sent from the mobile communication server to the mobile communication terminal [308], displaying the same on the mobile communication terminal [309].

The subscriber checks the reservation information displayed on the terminal, decides whether to purchase the corresponding service, and makes a reservation request.

Purchase Request Step [400]

7) when the mobile subscriber operates the mobile terminal to make a reservation request, a reservation request signal is transmitted to the mobile communication server [401].

The advance request signal preferably includes advance request information such as the date and time of providing the service to be reserved and the required number of copies.

8) the mobile communication server fetches the subscriber information from the temporary DB 37 and transmits it to the booking server along with the booking information [403].

In this step, the subscriber information preferably includes the subscriber's terminal number. In addition, since the booking server and the credit card company server is connected through the Internet, it is preferable that the booking server performs a credit inquiry to the credit card company server according to the reservation request received from the mobile communication server [404].

9) When the reservation server makes a reservation request to the service provider [405], the service provider selects a reservation password unique to the reservation request and stores the reservation password in the DB 39, stores the subscriber information in the DB 39, and performs mobile communication. Sending the advance password to the server [406].

When the service provider receives the reservation request signal, the service provider generates a reservation password by random number generation, stores it in the service provider's DB 39, and stores some of the subscriber information in the DB 39. Then, the advance password is transmitted to the mobile communication server. The item of subscriber information stored in the DB 39 is arbitrary. It may be a terminal phone number, a machine management serial number of the terminal, or a social security number of a subscriber. Preferably, the item is unique only to the subscriber.

10) the mobile communication server sends the advance password to the mobile communication terminal [407].

As a result, the subscriber can confirm that the reservation password is given to the user after the reservation request selected by the subscriber is received by the service provider. The subscriber needs to remember this advance password. It may be stored in the terminal for a certain period or permanently so that the subscriber does not remember it separately.

Ticket (Ticket) Acquisition Level [500 or lower]

In this embodiment, the step of actually going to the service place and actually outputting the reserved ticket is added. There is a terminal provided by the service provider in the service area. Unattended management is possible. The device required for the terminal configuration may be a PC connected to the service provider's DB 39 and a printer device capable of outputting a ticket. This step proceeds as follows.

11) If the subscriber enters the reservation password and the terminal phone number in the terminal of the service provider [501], the service provider searches the DB 39 and checks whether the terminal number and the reservation password match [502].

The subscriber enters a reservation password given from the service provider and his terminal phone number (which may be a social security number or a terminal serial number as described above) into the terminal of the service location [501]. The terminal then searches the DB 39 to determine whether the reserved password actually matches the reserved phone number or the terminal telephone number [502].

12) If a match [503], print out a table that can use the service [504].

If it is confirmed that the person is actually a reservation [503], the service usage table is printed out in the form set in the terminal [504].

According to the present invention, since an electronic commerce can be performed using a mobile communication terminal that is personalized as a portable device, the following effects are obtained.

(1) By simply reading the barcode at any place using a mobile communication terminal, product information can be obtained, ordered, and booked, allowing commerce regardless of time and place.

(2) Unlike the existing e-commerce, you can check the real thing and purchase goods. For example, even if the product is not in the store, if you have a bar code, you can check the product and buy it.

(3) Because the purchase process is simple, even those who are not good at using the internet and computers can easily purchase or make a reservation.

(4) Unlike the existing shopping mall, since the subscriber's address (billing address) and credit card information are already stored in the mobile communication server, the buyer does not input it separately, but simply operates his own mobile terminal. Simply scan the bar code to purchase or purchase tickets.
