Description

The invention relates to a system for the simplified ordering and payment of goods and / or services, comprising a database for storing product information, a database for storing account information of a plurality of members along with characteristic codes and means for logging the members via a network into the said databases residing on external servers both for obtaining product information and for performing value-added operations based on application software.

From the DE 20 2012 004 498 U1 is a smartphone ordering app for fast food restaurants previously known. The local solution is based on an app in which the entire menu of the corresponding restaurant and current offers can be found. By clicking on desired products, a shopping cart can be generated. From the finished selection, a code is generated and stored within the app. The code can be called up at any time on the smartphone display. With the help of a code scanner the generated codes can be read in and an order in the restaurant can be triggered, registered and executed.

According to the Internet-based payment system DE 10 2012 016 826 A1 the actuation of a payment function takes place on a website of a user client assigned to the virtual merchant. Thereafter, the input of information data, wherein based on the information data, the dealer terminal is controlled. Subsequently, the information data and authorization requests are forwarded to an authorization center.

After confirmation, the connection to a bank server takes place. After identification and authorization, a payment process is triggered and completed. The information data about the triggered and completed payment process are finally transmitted to the merchant terminal.

This is it from the DE 10 2012 016 826 A1 known to make a payment in the form of a payment applet on a website retrievable. The architecture of the system in question is based on a mobile phone and a user account stored on a customer bank server. Furthermore, at least one virtual merchant terminal with cashier device is present.

According to the electronic transaction system DE 20 2012 101 830 U1 There is a server with a member database for storing account information, the amount of electronic money, and characteristic codes for a plurality of members. Furthermore, a plurality of terminals is provided, which are connected to said server via a network, each terminal being equipped with a display, an operator keyboard, a characteristic code reader and a member keyboard. The members have characteristic code carriers with corresponding codes which can be read by the characteristic code reader of the terminal. After entering a password activities such as payment for a purchase, recharge, consumption requests or the like are possible.

From the foregoing, it is an object of the invention to provide an advanced system for the simplified ordering and payment of goods and services.

The object of the invention is achieved by a system according to the feature combination according to claim 1, wherein the dependent claims comprise at least expedient refinements and developments.

It is therefore assumed that a system for the simplified ordering and payment of goods and / or services. The system includes a database for storing product information. Furthermore, the system comprises a database for storing account information of a plurality of members together with characteristic codes. In addition, means are provided for logging members into the databases via a network, both to obtain product information and to perform value-added operations based on a particular application software, i. H. a so-called app.

According to the invention, information corresponding to known merchandise management systems is stored in the database for the product information. Furthermore, each of the products is assigned a unique identification number or a unique identification code in the database. This identification code can, for. Example, a multi-digit number sequence, a barcode or a QR code.

The respective member handles the ordering process via the loaded application software by entering the identification code shown in the context of a product application into a communication device, in particular a smartphone.

Subsequently, the respective product appears on the communication device, z. B. as a visual representation, description and / or in tonal form. The payment process is then after usual password input and / or confirmation triggered. The triggering of the payment process is then the confirmation for the dealer or product provider to trigger a corresponding shipping to the ordering member.

An essential advantage of the invention is that z. B. in a TV advertising on a simple, easy-to-remember digit string the advertised product is identifiable. The thus given identification code is entered into the smartphone of the respective member or customer and it can then be triggered directly with just a few commands of the order process.

It is therefore not necessary, in the wake of the admittance of advertising z. For example, you can visit the homepage of a corresponding provider, determine the product there and trigger the order after more or less extensive data entry.

As already stated, the identification code may be a numeric code, a bar code, a QR code or the like code. If necessary, a code in the form of a voice input is also possible here.

The respective member can create an account in the database for account information and enter a value. Through communication with the account database and the communication device, the respective account balance is before the order process is triggered, ie. H. the value can be displayed.

In one embodiment of the invention, the respective member is verified by means of the application software and triggered the ordering process after entering the identification code with a single command. It can therefore be realized after entering the identification code with a single click the order. Of course, here is the possibility to include an order process lock to z. B. erroneously orders with high value to block.

The account information database contains not only personal data of the members but also delivery addresses in order to simplify the processing by the respective dealer or manufacturer of the products or supplier of the services.
