Description

Mileage Service System

The present invention relates to a mileage service system, and more particularly, a mileage coin paid by buyers when various online / offline merchants purchase mileage coins identified by unique codes from online mileage service servers and pay them to buyers. Is used in an online shopping mall provided by a mileage service server, thereby providing a new mileage service system that allows online and / or offline small and medium businesses to use a large integrated mileage system together.

In general, mileage refers to incentives or rewards paid to customers based on the distance (miles) traveled by a particular airline, which in recent years has expanded to mean that the value of an item can be paid to a customer who purchases it at an online shopping mall. It is dedicated to returning part of it in the form of a reward. In addition to the purchase of goods, technology that rewards users for various actions, such as accessing the site, clicking banner ads, participating in surveys, and quiz responses, is widely used. These rewards include cyber money, cash, points, and reserves. Although it is called various terms such as mileage, acorn, etc., the term "mileage" is used in this specification.

However, in the case of the mileage service paid according to the conventional compensation system, the customer should use the mileage service only from the company that paid the specific mileage or a company affiliated with the company. The problem is that the use of mileage is not only distributed but also limited to a few companies. On the other hand, as a company that pays mileage, it is necessary to build a system to give each customer mileage and to use these mileages. In this case, it was difficult to establish such a mileage service system.

Therefore, by allowing customers to integrate and use the mileage provided by various companies in the past, a mileage service has been proposed for the purpose that customers can use the mileage from a variety of companies and companies do not need to build their own system. For example, the registered publication of Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0366150 "Method for operating mileage integration on the Internet e-commerce" includes (1) from the 'integrated mileage management server' in cash at the 'website' which may be an online shopping mall on the Internet. Purchase mileage, (2) 'website' pays the purchased mileage to 'user', and (3) 'user' can use the paid mileage to purchase goods on other 'website', etc. (4) The 'website' describes a mileage service system in which used mileage is returned to the 'integrated mileage management server' and cash is received.

However, the concept of mileage circulated here is the concept of 'amount'. In other words, the website obtains the right to provide a certain amount of cash to the integrated mileage management server and issue a mileage equivalent to the amount of cash. The website then pays the user a certain amount of mileage, leaving the right to issue a mileage deducted by the amount paid. After the user has used the mileage on the website, the website returns the completed mileage to the integrated mileage management server and receives the corresponding amount of cash.

Thus, according to this technology, when a user spends 1 million won on website A, for example, on Web site B, the same value can be guaranteed on the integrated mileage management server. It is based on the belief that it can be returned to SiteB. Then, it would be illogical that website 1's cash paid to the integrated mileage management server would eventually be the profit of website B, the operating profit of the integrated mileage management server is unclear, and website A would have to take the loss. There is a problem that this can happen. Therefore, there was a limit that this technique could not be applied in practice.

Therefore, there is still a need for a new mileage service that allows mileage of the same nature to be issued to customers among various companies, while ensuring the operating profit of each participating entity.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and to add various other advantages. In particular, various online / offline merchants purchase mileage coins identified by a unique code from an online mileage service server and purchase the mileage coins. To the buyers to use the paid mileage coins in the online shopping mall provided by the mileage service server, to ensure the operating profit of each participating entity, and to integrate large scale online and / or offline small businesses The aim is to provide a new mileage service system that allows the mileage system to be used together.

This object is achieved by a mileage service system provided according to the present invention.

Mileage service system provided according to an aspect of the present invention, the merchant terminal of the merchant member and the buyer terminal of the buyer member through a communication network capable of two-way data communication provides a mileage that can be purchased in cash to the merchant member A mileage service system that sells and provides the sold mileage for use by the purchaser member in the purchase of goods, service rights, or content, the mileage is generated in the mileage service system when sold to the affiliated member, respectively. Mileages of the predetermined selling price are respectively associated with a unique code generated by the mileage service system, and the unique code has a function of uniquely identifying the mileage of the predetermined selling price; Each unique code generated by the mileage service system is transmitted to the affiliated store terminal of the affiliated store member who purchased the mileage; The merchant terminal of the merchant member pays the mileage by transferring the received unique code to the buyer terminal of the buyer member; By providing the unique code to the mileage service system by the purchaser terminal of the buyer member, the mileage of the predetermined selling price identified by the unique code can be used as a mileage having a predetermined usage value in the mileage service system.

In one embodiment, the selling price when the mileage is purchased by the merchant member is preferably greater than the used value when the mileage is used by the buyer member.

In another embodiment, the unique code uniquely identifying the mileage may include an affiliated store identification code uniquely identifying the affiliated member who purchased the mileage.

Here, the mileage service system reads the merchant identification code included in the unique number of the mileage provided by the buyer terminal of the buyer member, the use of the mileage for the sale goods registered by the merchant member identified by the merchant identification code The value can be increased and used.

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, in particular, when various online / offline merchants purchase mileage coins identified by unique codes from online mileage service servers and pay them to buyers, the mileage coins paid by the buyers are mileage service servers. By using in the online shopping mall provided by the, there is a remarkable effect, such as providing an integrated mileage service that can ensure the operating profit of each participating entity.

Advantages and features of the present invention and methods for achieving them will be apparent with reference to the embodiments described below in detail with the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. To fully disclose the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and is defined by the claims of the present invention.

In the following description of the present invention, detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions in the embodiments of the present invention, which may vary depending on the intention of the user, the intention or the custom of the operator. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

Hereinafter, a mileage service system according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Referring to FIG. 1, the mileage service system 30 of the present invention operates an online shopping mall in a web environment of the Internet, for example, registers a seller member and a buyer member, and trades goods such as a product, a service right, or content to a member. It may include a mileage shopping mall server 31 including a website that provides a service. The mileage shopping mall server 31 is connected to terminals 1 and 2, which may be portable computing devices such as, for example, desktop computers or smartphones, of merchant members and buyers members, which can be accessed through, for example, wired or wireless Internet, to access electronic transactions and data. Interactions including sending and receiving are possible.

The mileage service system 30 is a system that can be connected to the merchant terminal 2 of the merchant member and the buyer terminal 1 of the buyer member through a communication network capable of two-way data communication. Since it is similarly configurable, a detailed description of the detailed configuration will be omitted for simplicity and clarity.

The shopping mall server 31 of the mileage service system 30 distinguishes and registers a member of a member and a member of a buyer, and stores the member information of the member and the member member of the member member database by the purchaser member DB 33 and the member member member DB ( Can be managed in 35). In FIG. 1, one merchant terminal 2 and one buyer terminal 1 are illustrated to simplify the drawing. However, this is merely illustrative, and the plurality of merchant terminals 2 and the plurality of buyer terminals 1 are mileages. Obviously, the service system 30 is connected.

The mall server 31 of the mileage service system 30 may also accumulate mileage-related information and manage the mileage status DB 37 to identify and manage the sold mileage and the used mileage.

According to the present invention, the mileage is sold from the mileage service system 30 to the affiliated member through the affiliated store terminal 2. The mileage sold to the merchant member may be paid to the buyer member along with an action such as purchasing an item in an online or offline store operated by the merchant member, clicking an advertisement banner, receiving a predetermined text message, or the like. The mileage paid to the purchaser member may be used for the purchase of goods, service rights, or content in the mileage service system 30 through the purchaser member 1 of the purchaser member.

Referring to FIG. 2, mileage used according to the present invention is used as a unit of a predetermined selling price (or purchasing price), and in the drawing, this unit is exemplarily denoted as 'mileage coin 40'. have. Each one of the mileage coins 40 may also be represented as an image 41 such as a star or a heart, for example.

A feature of the mileage used in accordance with the present invention is that a unique code 43 is associated with each unit mile, ie for each mileage coin 40. This unique code is an identification code that uniquely identifies each mileage coin 40. Therefore, each mileage coin is uniquely identified by a unique code and thus cannot be duplicated.

Each mileage coin 40 has a purchase price 45 when the merchant purchases, i.e., a selling price. For example, each coin can have a cash value of 30 won and an exchange value. You can purchase mileage by paying the price of 30 won. On the other hand, it is preferable that the use price 47, i.e., the use price, used when used by the buyer member is different from the sale price. In the illustrated example, the usage price 47 is 10 won per coin, in which case the difference can be a direct return of the mileage service system 30.

As described above, in the system according to the present invention, such "mileage coin" by the act of purchase, payment, use between the mileage service system 30 and participating entities such as the merchant terminal 2 and the buyer terminal 1 They are moved through each "unique code", which is described in more detail below.

First, the mileage purchase process is a process in which the mileage is moved to the affiliated member in the mileage service system 30. The merchant member accesses the mileage shopping mall server 31 through the merchant terminal 2 and, if not in the membership registration state, goes through the membership registration process, sets a quantity of mileage coins sold by the mileage shopping mall server 31, and then electronically pays the fee. You can make a purchase request. The mileage shopping mall server 31 may generate a unique number corresponding to the number of mileage coins requested for purchase by electronic payment, and transmit the generated unique number to the affiliated store terminal 2.

As such, in the mileage purchase stage or the sales stage according to the present invention, each unique code is generated to generate mileage coins, and each unique code is transmitted to move the mileage. The transmitted unique code is stored in the mileage status DB 37 as generated mileage information. Here, each unique code needs to be protected from being hacked as important digital information when it is transmitted through an open communication network such as the Internet, and for this purpose, it is preferable to transmit by adding a procedure such as encryption and digital signature. .

In the mileage payment process, the merchant terminal 2 of the merchant member pays the mileage by transferring the received unique code to the buyer terminal 1 of the buyer member. In this case, the merchant member may pay the mileage as a reward when the buyer member purchases an item in his or her shop or receives an advertisement text. Or by printing a unique code on the surface of the goods or by printing a unique code on the coupon, distributing the goods or coupons to general customers and recognizing that the printed unique code is available in certain online shopping malls as a certain amount of mileage Using mileage can be paid.

In the mileage use process, the mileage coin of a predetermined selling price identified by the unique code provided by the purchaser member 1 of the buyer member to the mileage service system 30 is used. At this time, each mileage coin is used as a mileage having a predetermined use value in the mileage service system 30.

The buyer member connected to the mileage service system 30 may provide each mileage coin 40 by manually inputting a unique code into the buyer terminal 1. However, since this method is cumbersome to input several times, a more automatic provisioning method may be necessary. For this purpose, for example, each unique code can be provided and moved as a two-dimensional barcode such as a mechanically readable code, for example a QR code.

Referring again to FIG. 2, a unique code 43 uniquely identifying each mileage coin 40 is illustrated as an example consisting of a 16-digit serial number using a combination of letters and numbers. The first 4 digits of the 16 digits of the serial number may be configured to function as the merchant identification code for the merchant member who purchased the mileage coin and the remaining 12 digits as the identification code for identifying the coin.

In this case, the mileage service system 30 may read the affiliate store identification code from the unique number of the mileage provided by the buyer terminal 1 of the buyer member. In addition, the sales value registered by the member of the affiliated store identified by the affiliated store identification code may provide an incentive for increasing the use value of the mileage. This may offer the advantage of allowing merchant members to sell their goods or discount coupons at particularly low prices.

A portion for uniquely identifying each mileage coin 40 among the unique symbols 43 of the illustrated example may be distinguished by a first identification code, a second identification code, and a third identification code, respectively. This allows the identification code portion of the unique code to be simply randomly generated random number, as well as the identification code having a duplicate protection function, as well as a certain meaning. For example, four digits of the first identification code and four digits of the second identification code may be serial numbers indicating that a certain amount of mileage coins have been sold. In this case, only the fourth digit of the third identification code may be responsible for uniquely identifying the coin as a random number.

As described above, according to the present invention, the mileage is sold to an affiliated store in the form of a mileage coin having a certain unique code, and the merchant can pay the unique code to customers in an electronic transmission method or in the form of printed matter. Can use this unique code electronically in the online shopping mall server of the mileage service system. Accordingly, small companies such as small-scale offline merchants that perform delivery business can also be provided with the advantage of using a mileage system built by a large online shopping mall. In other words, an off-line branch that delivers chicken may purchase mileage according to the present invention on-line, and pay a coupon with a unique code (or a corresponding QR code) representing the mileage coin to the customer at the time of chicken delivery. Then, the customer can use a certain amount of mileage by electronically providing the unique code stamped on the coupon to the mileage service system 30 according to the present invention.
