Fast food and coffee shops have automated parts of the store ordering system based on POS terminals to quickly handle a large number of orders. However, the time spent on orders in stores such as fast food and coffee shops is not decreasing at all. For example, when ordering in a coffee shop, the customer first selects the type of coffee to order. However, simply choosing a coffee type does not complete the order. In most cases, the customer must accurately communicate the number of coffees ordered to the clerk, and clearly communicate the size of the coffee (e.g. small or regular), otherwise the coffee order will not work. If the coffee shop is to provide an event for the customer, the customer must participate in the event by answering the clerk's question. In addition, if the customer has an affiliate card (or a discount card) of the coffee shop, the customer must present the affiliate card (or a discount card) to the cashier, and in the case of cash payment, determine whether to receive a cash receipt. The cash receipt issuance identification information should be forwarded to the clerk as necessary. As this complex ordering process is repeated for each customer, the time spent on coffee orders is not reduced at all.

Recently, as smart phones are activated, opportunities for providing various application-based services to users by installing applications on the smart phones are increasing. In the past, an application installed in a mobile phone was manufactured in the form of a virtual machine (VM), and in order to install the application in the mobile phone, a complicated use approval of a communication company was required. There were many limitations in creating and distributing mobile phone applications to mobile phone users, and it was almost impossible to produce / distribute mobile phone applications except for some content providers contracted with mobile operators.

However, a smartphone, which has recently been activated by a smartphone, can provide the application-based services to the smartphone user by installing various applications without the above restrictions, and the smartphone user can always access the server where the smartphone application is published. You can connect and download and install the applications you want. Thus, operators operating offline stores were given the opportunity to create and distribute applications to smartphone users that can be used in their stores without relying on content providers.

However, the provision of such opportunities is only an opportunity for smartphone application production / distribution, and in order to manage orders through the smartphone application, a separate order management system interworking with the smartphone application should be provided in each offline store. I have it.

Steps may be omitted, or the order of implementation may be changed), but the present invention includes all the implementation methods inferred, and the technical features are not limited to the implementation method shown in FIG. .

Referring to FIG. 4, the order information storage medium operating unit of the heterogeneous order management system includes Q (Q> 1) storage areas for storing order information including i (i ≧ 1) order values inputted by a key. If an order information storage medium is maintained (400) and at least one order information is keyed (405), the order information input unit inputs i order values matching the storage item of the storage area (410), The order information storage unit determines a q (1 ≤ q ≤ Q) storage area in which the order information is not stored among the Q storage areas maintained in the order information storage medium (415). The order information including the i order values is stored (420).

If an order is requested from a smartphone (425), the order information receiver receives order information including j order values set for the smartphone visited by the store (430), and the order information determination unit determines the order information. It is determined whether the order information is set through the smartphone of the user who has visited the store or is expected to visit (435).

If the received order information is not the order information set through the user's smartphone visited or scheduled to visit the store (440), the order information linkage unit is configured to link the received order information with the keyed order information. You can refuse (445).

If the received order information is the order information set through the smartphone of the user who has visited or is going to visit the store (440), the payment state determination unit is configured from the order information that is set through the smartphone of the user who has visited or is planning to visit the store. The derived payment amount is determined whether the payment is completed through the user's payment means (450).

If the order information is not in the payment completion state (455), the order information linkage unit may refuse to link the received order information with the keyed order information (445).

On the other hand, if the order information is the payment complete state (455), the order information interlocking unit screen outputs j order values included in the received order information (460).

5 is a diagram illustrating a heterogeneous order interlocking process according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In more detail, FIG. 5 illustrates a process of linking order information set through a smartphone visited or scheduled to be visited to a store through the process shown in FIG. Those skilled in the art may refer to and / or modify this drawing 5 to infer various implementation methods (e.g., some steps may be omitted or the order may be changed) for the heterogeneous order linkage process. Although it may be possible, the present invention includes all the implementation methods inferred, and the technical features are not limited only to the implementation method shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 5, when order information received through a smartphone visited or scheduled to enter the store is received through the process illustrated in FIG. 4, the order information linkage unit may be configured to display the order value among j order values included in the received order information. The order information corresponding to the storage area is extracted to configure order information to be stored in the order information storage medium (500).

If order information to be stored in the order information storage medium is configured (505), the order information interlocking unit arranges the order information according to the keyed order information and order order and transmits the order information to the order information storage unit (510), The order information storage unit determines a qth storage area in which the order information is not stored among the Q storage areas maintained in the order information storage medium (515), and includes the i order values in the determined qth storage area. The order information is stored (520). The order information output unit outputs the order information stored in the q-th storage area through a screen output unit (or a device having a screen output unit) (525).

Thereafter, the pick-up condition checking unit checks whether the pick-up condition for the ordered product corresponding to the order information stored in the q-th storage area is set through the smart phone of the user who has visited or is going to visit the store among the order information ( 530).

If the pickup condition is established (535), the pickup notification unit processes the pickup request for the order goods to the smartphone (540).
