Embodiment
Below, with reference to description of drawings the 1st example of the present invention.
Fig. 1 is the function constitution map of server 100 that has adopted the some generator of this example.Here, server 100 is returned seller all and the management of sold print machine and print cartridge, is to provide the Web server that service a little is provided for the user who has bought print cartridge.The 110th, control module comprises registering unit 111, user authentication unit 112, decoding unit 113, contrast unit 114 and some administrative unit 115.Registering unit 111 is carried out location registration process for user's distributing user ID.User authentication unit 112 judges that whether the authentication request that receives is from finish user's requirement of registration.Decoding unit 113 is decoded the encipherment commercial product code according to the lot number of print cartridge.The content of the decoded result that the contrast of contrast unit 114 is obtained by decoding unit 113 and the commercial product code DB (database) 121 of storage unit 120.115 of administrative units of point are stored among the user DB122 of storage unit 120 explicitly with corresponding point of commercial product code and user ID.
Storage unit 120 in advance store storage offer the commodity that the seller of printer handles (for example: print cartridge A, print cartridge B etc. the user DB122 of the commercial product code DB121 of) commercial product code and corresponding point, storage registered user's data, stored the decoding key DB123 with the corresponding decoding key of the lot number of print cartridge.The 130th, as the communication I/F (interface) that is connected to the mechanism on the internet N.The 200th, bought user's the PC (personal computer) of the printer of seller, the Web browser that carries out data transmit-receive with server 100 is installed.In addition, input blocks such as the display unit of PC200 loading CRT (cathode-ray tube (CRT)) and keyboard are connected to server 100 by internet N.
Fig. 2 is the hardware structure diagram of server 100.Storage unit 120 is made of ROM (ROM (read-only memory)) 11, RAM (random access memory) 12 and HD (hard disk) 13.Server 100 is installed CPU (central arithmetic unit) 10 as shown in the figure, realizes by the program (not shown) that realizes the above-mentioned functions that control module 110 has being downloaded to carry out among the RAM12.
In addition, the various functions that have of control module 110 also can be used dedicated hardware implementation.
Secondly, buy print cartridge with reference to the flowchart text user of Fig. 4 from retail shop, server 100 requests by seller provide work a little.
At first, the guide of user's reading and recording on appending to this printer of having bought printer is with the URL of the Web address on the internet N of the seller operation in the paper etc., and from the input block input URL of PC200, request is to the connection of server 100.The CPU of PC200 is connected to server 100 according to the URL of input by internet N.Whether server 100 control communication I/F130 if receive this information, then finish user's registration by internet N to the PC200 request-reply.Receive this information, the CPU of PC200 shows the picture whether input user registration finishes on display unit.The user sees this demonstration, and is unregistered from the input block input, and CPU sends the unregistered data of expression to server 100.If server 100 receives this data, then enter password to the PC200 request.Then, PC200 shows the picture of password input, and the user sees that this demonstration imports desirable password (for example " g6h7i8 ") from input block.Subsequently, the CPU of PC200 sends password to server 100.Receive this password, the registering unit of server 100 111 is distributed the user ID of for example " U0003 " such character string, with the password that is received user ID is registered among the user DB122.Then, send the user ID of having distributed, notify the user to register end (step S1) to PC200.Here, as shown in Figure 6, user ID and password are stored with point in the user DB122 that is registered.In addition, originally illustrate the user ID of registering " U0001 " and " U0002 " by server 100, storage is from the password of user input and offer counting of each user ID, on the other hand, be illustrated in the user ID " U0003 " of distributing among the step S1 initial value is taken as 0 count and the state of the registration of password one river storage.
Then, the user buys print cartridge at retail shop as shown in Figure 3 under the state of packing with packing case 500.On the packing case 500 of print cartridge, be printed with lot number 501.Here, so-called lot number 501 is the numbers that provide when seller packing print cartridge, to the print cartridge printing duplicate numbers of whenever tens of～thousands of grades.In addition, on the casing of print cartridge, the encipherment commercial product code that has been printed with commercial product code encipherment described later.
The user takes out print cartridge from packing case 500 as described above, reads the encipherment commercial product code.And, from input block input identical URL when above-mentioned user registers, ask to be connected to server 100 to PC200 once more.Receive this request, the CPU of PC200 is connected to server 100 according to the URL that is imported.Then, if server 100 is registered replying of whether finishing to PC200 request user, then the CPU of PC200 shows the input picture that this is replied on display unit.The user sees this demonstration, and input user registration finishes, and the CPU of PC200 sends this information to server 100.If the user authentication unit 112 of server 100 receives the user and registers replying of finishing, then to PC200 request user ID and password.Receive this request, the input indication of PC200 explicit user ID and password on display unit.If the user sees this demonstration, from user ID " U0003 " and password " g6h7i8 " that the input block input is registered among above-mentioned step S1, then the CPU of PC200 sends the user ID and the password of input to server 100.Then, the user authentication unit 112 of server 100 is with reference to the user DB122 in the storage unit 120, comparing with user ID " U0003 " password of storing explicitly and the password that is received.Here, when relatively result is that two data are notified user authentication failure to PC200 when inconsistent, the CPU of PC200 shows this information.On the other hand, when two of results relatively were data consistent, to PC200 notice authentification of user success (step S2), the CPU of PC200 showed this information.
Then, if server 100 to the lot number 501 of PC200 requested printing on packing case 500, then the CPU of PC200 shows the input picture of lot number 501.Then, if the user sees this demonstration, the lot number 501 of input packing case 500, then the CPU of PC200 sends it to server 100.
If the some administrative unit 115 of server 100 receives lot number 501 (step S3) from PC200, then temporarily be stored in the storage unit 120.Subsequently, if to PC200 request encipherment commercial product code, then the input picture of the CPU display password commercial product code of PC200.Then, if the user sees this demonstration, input offers the encipherment commercial product code of print cartridge, and then the CPU of PC200 sends it to server 100.
Then, if the some administrative unit 115 of server 100 receives encipherment commercial product code (step S4) from PC200, then it temporarily is stored in the storage unit 120.Then, decoding unit 113 reads lot number 501 from storage unit 120, and retrieval decoding key DB123 obtains decoding key corresponding with it.Subsequently, read the encipherment commercial product code, use obtained decoding key this code decode (step S5) from storage unit 120.
Then, contrast unit 114 retrieval commercial product code DB121 judge whether to exist the commercial product code (step S6) consistent with the decoded result that is undertaken by decoding unit 113.Here, in commercial product code DB121, as shown in Figure 5, storing commodity code, the corresponding distribution number of counting, in commodity, issued commercial product code and the number of times that point is provided up to now according to this commercial product code.Here, so-called distribution number is the distribution limit value that expression can be issued the quantity of commercial product code.When the result of the contrast of step S6 is when having the commercial product code identical with decoded result in commercial product code DB121, puts administrative unit 115 and read with this commercial product code is corresponding from commercial product code DB121 and counts.Here, for example, the commodity of commercial product code " 00001 " and 1 point, commercial product code " 00002 " and commodity and 3 storages of counting accordingly that provide like this.Then, some administrative unit 115 reads the distribution number of the corresponding article of commercial product code that obtain with decoded result and the number of times of putting is provided from commercial product code DB121, judges whether the number of times that point is provided surpasses the distribution number.And under situation about not surpassing, some administrative unit 115 stores the corresponding user ID " U0003 " that is added to and receives of counting explicitly on the counting among the user DB122 " 0 " and rewrites (step S7) in step S2.
For example, when the decoded result of step S5 was " 00002 ", some administrative unit 115 read corresponding distribution number " 300 " and the number of times " 124 " of point is provided, and being judged as provides the number of times of point not surpass the distribution number.Then, 115 of administrative units of point and commercial product code " 00002 " are corresponding provides on the interior point of a little the corresponding user DB122 of 3 user ID that are added to and receive " U0003 ".Then, add " 1 " on the number of times that point is provided of the commercial product code in commercial product code DB121 " 00002 ", be rewritten as " 125 ".
In addition, when the number of times that point is provided has reached distribution and counts, that is, when the number of times that point is provided had equaled or exceeded distribution and counts, some administrative unit 115 was used mistake to the PC200 notice, and the CPU of PC200 shows and uses mistake.Thus, for same commodity, provide if make it possible to surpass certain quantity then do not accept a little.In addition,, therefore do not need to provide sequence number, can avoid the figure place of commercial product code to increase the information that waits, increases use in point provides, can reduce commodity production or the cost when packing to commodity owing in a plurality of commodity, distribute identical commercial product code.
On the other hand, when the result of the contrast of step S6 when not having identical commercial product code, on PC200, show the contrast mistake, the CPU that receives the PC200 of this information shows contrast wrong (step S8).
Subsequently, the user buys print cartridge once more, the work that repeats above-mentioned authentification of user and put addition.The point administrative unit 115 of server 100 is to the result of the work of PC200 query steps S7, for the user who has accumulated certain point number, whether inquires about exchange spot and commodity etc.If the CPU of PC200 shows this inquiry picture, then the user sees this demonstration, selects to exchange with certain commodity.Subsequently, the CPU of PC200 sends to server 100 to selection result.The point administrative unit 115 of server 100 that has received this information is to PC200 request user's address and name, and the CPU of PC200 shows the input picture of address and name.Then, the user is from input block input address and name, and the CPU of PC200 sends to server 100.Then, the some administrative unit 115 of server 100 in the user DB122 with this user ID corresponding count to deduct with selected commodity are corresponding count, rewrite.
Then, for example connect output units such as printing equipment, commodity, the address of reception, name that output is selected in server 100, perhaps, with label output trade name, address, the name of mailing usefulness, server managers is posted commodity to the user.Thus, the user obtains and puts corresponding service.
In addition, in above-mentioned example, in commercial product code DB121, stored the distribution number of the commodity that each commercial product code is provided and provide the number of times of putting for this commercial product code, also can be by in each commercial product code, be provided with the distribution of commodity and count the service utilization sign of equivalent amount, when finishing some request at every turn, the service of being updated to of this sign utilized finish, management provides the number of times of point.
In addition, in above-mentioned example, also can be each encipherment not to commercial product code and colon, server 100 contrasts according to the combination of lot number and commercial product code.In this case, for example, server 100 is storage and lot number 501 and the corresponding combination of commercial product code DB in advance in storage unit 120, and the contrast unit 114 of server 100 is with reference to storage unit 120, and whether contrast is correct from the combination of these data that PC200 sends.And, if the results of comparison unanimity then provides a little.
In addition, in above-mentioned example, though the number of commercial product code does not have special significance, also can be, make and combine on days etc. prefix or national number.For example the national number in China is " 009 ", and making days is under the situation in January, 2005, commercial product code is designated as " 009200501 " etc.Thus, owing to can know, therefore can utilize aspect the permeability of the service of holding selling the regional of print cartridge or obtaining situation at the point of country variant.
Secondly, with reference to description of drawings the 2nd example of the present invention.The commercial product code that this example and the 1st example provide in every kind that replaces using at print cartridge, and in each print cartridge, use different sequence number this point, and on this print cartridge, IC is installed, in this IC the storage encipherment sequence number, read this point difference automatically by PC.
Fig. 7 is the pie graph of the PC300 that uses in this example.Here, on PC300, connect printer 400, on printer 400, load the print cartridge 520 that the user buys at retail shop.The IC (integrated circuit) 530 that dress cuts the storage unit (not shown) that has write the encipherment sequence number is installed in print cartridge 520 in advance.IC reading device 410 reads the encipherment sequence number in the IC530, sends to PC300.The 310th, the control module of PC300 loads the web browsing unit 311 identical with the PC200 that uses in the 1st example, in addition, comprises that the encipherment sequence number obtains unit 312.The encipherment sequence number is obtained unit 312 and is communicated by letter with printer 400, obtains the encipherment sequence number.The 320th, the storage unit that constitutes by ROM, RAM, HD.The 330th, as the communication I/F that is connected in the mechanism of internet N.The 340th, by the input block of realizations such as keyboard.The 350th, by the display unit of realizations such as CRT.
Here, PC300 installs CPU (central arithmetic unit), by realizing that above-mentioned each functional programs (not shown) that control module 310 has downloads to RAM and goes up to carry out and realize.
In addition, each function of having of control module 310 also can be used dedicated hardware implementation.
Next, the server 100 that uses is described in this example.In storage unit 120 in advance store storage with corresponding count DB and the sequence number DB shown in Figure 8 that counts of sequence number, contrast unit 114 is according to obtained sequence number, whether expression has been finished the sign that point obtains be written among the above-mentioned sequence number DB, this point is different with the 1st example.Here, as a management information, make all sequences number of the print cartridge of on market, selling that becomes the commodity that the service object a little is provided in advance, and expression has utilized the point of each sequence number to provide the sign that whether finishes to be stored in accordingly among the sequence number DB.
At first, the user is after buying printer 400, being installed among the PC300 with printer 400 printer driver that above-mentioned encipherment sequence number is obtained unit 312 that comprises packaging together, identical with the work of the step S1 of the 1st example, access server 100 carries out user's registration.Then, the user who has bought print cartridge 520 at retail shop takes out print cartridge 520 from packing case 500 and is arranged on the printer 400, this printer 400 is connected to PC300, and identical with the step S2 of Fig. 4 in the 1st example, access server 100 carries out the work of authentification of user.
Below, with reference to Fig. 9, the server 100 that seller is described provides a little work to the user.
Server 100 is to PC300 request lot number 501 and encipherment sequence number (step S41a), and the web browsing unit 311 of PC300 shows the input picture of lot number 501.At this moment, if the user sees this demonstration, the lot number 501 of input packing case 500, then the web browsing unit 311 of PC300 temporarily is stored in it in storage unit 320 (step S31).Then, the encipherment sequence number of PC300 is obtained unit 312 to printer 400 request encipherment sequence numbers.Then, the IC reading device 410 of printer 400 reads the encipherment sequence number that is stored among the IC, sends to PC300.Then, if the encipherment sequence number of PC300 is obtained unit 312 and is received encipherment sequence number (step S32), be stored in the storage unit 320, then web browsing unit 311 reads lot number 501 and encipherment sequence number from storage unit 320, sends (step S33) to server 100.
Then, the point administrative unit 115 of server 100 receives lot number and encipherment sequence number (step S42a) from PC300, identical with the 1st example, read from decoding key DB123 with the corresponding decoding key of lot number after, encipherment sequence number decoding (step S5a), retrieve above-mentioned sequence number DB, judge whether to exist the sequence number consistent (step S6a) with the sequence number of being decoded.Then, under the situation that has consistent sequence number, upgrade making the corresponding point of sequence number DB provide the sign that finishes to show " finishing ", read with this sequence number is corresponding from the above-mentioned DB of counting and count, be added on the point of this user ID, upgrade user DB122 (step S7a).At this moment, provide the sign that finishes to show under the situation of " finishing ", give PC300 the contrast error notification, web browsing unit 311 these information of demonstration of PC300 at the point of the corresponding sequence number DB of sequence number that obtains with decoding.
