The service system is composed of a system operating entity 1 and a member store 3₁
~ 3 _n, User terminal 5₁~ 5_mIs connected to the Internet 7
Take the configuration that was continued. Here, the management body is, for example, WWW
It is a center device including a server, a mail server, and the like. Addition
Alliance store 3₁~ 3_nIs a store on the EC site, for example
For example, a WWW server.

[0060] member user, it is possible to earn points by purchasing such products at any of the merchants 3 ₁ ~3 _n, reducing the points earned in any of the member store 3 ₁ ~3 _n . As will be described later, a mode in which points are redeemed by the operating body 1 may be employed.

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the concept of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the management body has information on the remaining points of each member and the return rate for each member store. The member purchases a product from the member store (step 1), and points corresponding to the purchased amount are stored in the management body (step 2). The member can redeem points at the time of product purchase or the like, and uses the remaining points, redemption rate, and the like recorded in the management body (step 3), for example, to redeem points as part of the product purchase price (step 4).

In the present point service system, a user can become a member by performing member registration with the management body. By becoming a member, an e-mail such as product information can be received from the management body. Members can also earn points by purchasing at member stores. Thereafter, the member can redeem points at the time of product purchase or the like.

The above processes will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a member registration process. First, the configuration of the management body will be described. The management body has a WWW server 9, a mail server 11, and a database server 13, and the database server 13 has a member database.

The user accesses the WWW server 9 and obtains an account, a password, and attributes (sex, date of birth, age,
Member registration is performed by inputting the occupation and e-mail address) (step 11). The WWW server 9 registers the member information in the database server and notifies the mail server 11 of the registration (step 12). The WWW server displays a registration completion screen on the user terminal, and confirms the account and password (step 13). After the registration is completed, a notification of registration is sent by e-mail from the mail server (step 14).

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a mail distribution process. As shown in the figure, the member store registers new product information and campaign information in the WWW server 9 (step 21).
Next, the WWW server 9 extracts the mail sender and customizes the mail (step 22). Here, the profile / purchase history of the member registered in the database server 13 is compared with the product information registered in the WWW server 9. The customization is performed by giving a priority based on the interest of the member, the purchase history, and the like. For example, members who have recently purchased a personal computer will have their personal computer information described at the beginning of the email. Thereafter, mail distribution is performed to the extracted user (step 23).

Next, the point addition processing will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, there is a form in which the point addition is performed on the management body side and a form in which the point store is performed, and FIG. 5 shows a form in which the point addition is performed on the management body side. First, when a member makes a purchase decision for a member store (step 31), the member store makes a request for adding points to the WWW server 9 of the operating body (step 32). Point request is for member store ID, member I
D, by transmitting the purchase price to the WWW server 9. The point rate is also transmitted as necessary, for example, when a point rate different from the conversion table used by the management body is used, or when there is no point rate in the conversion table. Next, the WWW server 9 calculates the number of points based on the purchase amount and the point rate, and stores the number of points issued by the member store and the number of points acquired by the member in the point management database of the database server 13 (step 33). The member is notified of the number of points and the cumulative number of points acquired by the current purchase (step 34). This can be done by mail or on the Web. It may be performed immediately after the purchase or periodically. The member store is notified of the number of issued points by Web or e-mail (step 35). Further, the member store transfers the amount equivalent to the issuance of points to the bank (step 36), and the bank reports the transfer to the management body. Performing the point conversion processing on the management body side as described above has an advantage that a function for point conversion on the member store side becomes unnecessary.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the processing when the point calculation is performed on the member store side. The difference from the embodiment described in FIG. 5 is that the member store has a conversion table, calculates points, and notifies the operating body of the calculated number of points. Since the calculation of the point conversion is performed at each member store, there is an advantage that the processing amount on the management body side is reduced.

FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the point return processing. First, the member inputs that points are to be redeemed at the time of product purchase (step 51). Enter your account and password. The member store confirms the point redemption by transmitting the member ID, the member store ID, the purchase price, and the point redemption information (in this case, information for performing the point redemption) to the WWW server 9 (step 52).

Next, the WWW server 9 performs member verification using the member management database (step 53), and extracts point information from the database server 13 (step 54). The point information includes the member collation result and the point balance information, and the balance is calculated from the purchase amount and the point balance. Thereafter, the WWW server 9 notifies the member store of the point information (step 55). By the point information notification, the point balance display and the amount display after the point use are displayed on the terminal of the member. When the member decides to redeem points (step 56), the member store makes a point redemption request to the WWW server 9 (step 57).
The WWW server 9 performs point redemption by subtracting the redemption amount from the point balance (step 58), and the member store is notified of the number of redemption points (step 5).
9). In addition, the member is notified of the current number of points and the number of redemption points (step 60), the amount of money equivalent to the points is transferred from the management body to the bank (step 61), and the bank sends a transfer report to the member store. Done.

Next, the processing relating to point addition and reduction will be described in more detail with reference to the following three embodiments. The first embodiment is an example in which an addition and return request is made at a member store, and the settlement function of the member store is used.
The second embodiment is an example in which only the point addition is performed at the member store site, and the return is provided at the management site. The third embodiment is an example in which an operator goes to a site of an operating entity from a shopping basket and the operating entity provides a settlement function. In the following embodiment, the affiliated point or the operating entity has the above-mentioned conversion table. The conversion table describes the point conversion rate for each affiliated point.

(First Embodiment) First, a first embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a transition of a screen on the user terminal.

First, the member places an order for a product on the order screen (step 71). This screen shows a screen when a product is put in a shopping basket (basket) on an EC store site and an order is to be placed. A screen portion for the member user to input appears in a dotted line portion of the screen diagram. here,
If the user is not a member, a transition is made to the payment screen by pressing the order button (step 72). in this case,
By selecting a payment method and pressing a decision button, a transition is made to a completion screen (step 73). Hereinafter, a case where the user is a member will be described.

On the first screen, the account, password,
The user inputs "do not redeem points". If no redemption is made, the screen transits to the screen of step 74. On this screen, the point balance is displayed, and when the order button is pressed, the screen transits to a screen for selecting a settlement method (step 75). Here, when the payment method is selected and the decision button is pressed, the process of adding points is executed, and the point information is displayed on the completion screen (step 76). As the point information, the number of provisional points issued by this purchase and the number of available points are displayed. The provisional points are provisionally issued points and become official points when the member pays for the product. This will be described later.

In the case of redemption, after the point collation button is pressed, point collation is performed, and in step 77, the amount of the point redemption and the payment amount after the point redemption are displayed. If the order button is pressed here, the screen transits to the payment method selection screen (step 78), and the point processing is performed by selecting the payment method, and the screen transits to the completion screen (step 79). On the completion screen, the number of temporary points issued this time and the available point balance are displayed.

In the above-described screen transition diagram, the member store creates only the frame indicated by the dotted line, and the information in the frame is data transmitted from the management body.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining a process performed by the member store and the management body for the screen transition. In addition, in order to clarify the processing of the present invention, a conventional purchase flow is shown in (a), and a processing flow of the present invention is shown in (b).

D. The hash value is embedded in the page using a hidden tag (step 80), and the total amount and the payment amount are displayed to the member (step 81). By using the hidden tag, the user cannot see the information. Also, by adding a hash value, it is possible to determine whether the page content has been tampered with, and it is possible to prevent the member from changing the payment amount or the store ID.

The member inputs an account and a password,
Select Redeem points and press the point collation button. Member ID, redemption status, payment amount (in this case, 10500
Yen), the store ID, and the hash value are transmitted to the management body (step 82).

The management side checks whether the payment amount and the store ID have been changed by checking the hash value, and checks by SSL whether the third party has falsified the data during transmission. Further, the transaction ID is issued, the transaction ID, the member ID, and the store ID are recorded, and the payment amount after the point conversion is calculated.
The payment amount after the point conversion can be calculated by the payment amount-reduction point amount. In addition, lock the redemption points, redemption points, payment amount, transaction ID
With a hash value, embedded in the page with a hidden tag,
It is sent to the member (step 83). By issuing the transaction ID, the processing sequence becomes I
D is managed. FIG. 9 shows a data structure of data recorded in each of the member store and the management body. For example, 14 shows the data structure of the transaction ID, member ID, and store ID recorded in the management body in step 83.

When the member presses the order button on the order screen of step 77, an order request is made from the member terminal to the member store (step 84), and the member store confirms SSL, The value is confirmed, and the transaction ID is recorded (step 85). Then, the member store issues a settlement method request to the member (step 86).

When the member selects a payment method and presses the decision button on the payment screen in step 78, the member notifies the member store of the payment method (step 87), and the member store side receives the transaction ID, redemption point, and payment. Check the amount of tampering and calculate temporary points from the purchase amount. Further, the redemption point and the temporary point are recorded (step 88), and the transaction ID, the redemption request, and the temporary point are transmitted to the management body (step 89).

The management body performs a tampering check and a transaction ID check, and temporarily stores temporary points (step 85). Thereafter, the management body confirms the point processing to the member store (step 91).

At the member store, the transaction ID, the redemption point, and the temporary point are tampered with SSL. Here, it is checked whether the item recorded on the member store side is the same as the item held on the management body side (step 92).

The member store notifies the management body that the check result in step 92 is OK (step 9).
3). Then, the management body performs a falsification check and a transaction ID check, unlocks the return points, subtracts the points, and officially stores the temporarily stored temporary points (step 94). The management body notifies the member store of the completion of the point processing (step 95).

The member store performs a falsification check and a transaction ID check, issues and records a reception ID (step 96). Thereafter, settlement is performed (step 97), and a completion notice is given to the member from the member store (step 98).

For example, a transfer paper is delivered to the member at a later date, and a bank transfer is performed (step 99). At the time of bank transfer, inform the bank of the above reception ID, and the bank will
By notifying D to the member store (step 100), the member store searches for the corresponding transaction ID based on the reception ID and registers the temporary point release request in the log (step 101). The merchant sends a temporary point release request to the operating entity (step 102), and the operating entity sets the temporary points to formal points (step 103),
The temporary point release completion notification is sent to the member store (step 104). The member store registers the temporary point release completion in the log (step 105).

The screen data of the child frame 13) is transmitted from the management body to the member (step 122). By pressing the member point addition button, a point notification is sent to the management body (step 123), and the management body performs falsification check, transaction ID, store ID, issue date, member ID, provisional point registration, and the like (step 123). 124), a point notification is made to the member (step 125). Next, the management body side checks the member store log and the management body side DB (step 126). Here, the transaction ID
And the provisional points are collated. That is, the member store keeps a log of how many points have been issued, and checks whether this log is the same as the provisional point recorded by the management side. The processing after the member transfers to the bank is the same as in the first embodiment. By performing such processing,
It is possible to prevent points from being used before the member pays for the product. FIG. 13 shows the data recorded by the member store and the operating body and the data structure thereof. For example,
In the transaction management DB 15 of the management body, data having the data structure shown in FIG.

In the above processing, unlike the first embodiment,
Does not include reduction processing. In the second embodiment, since the member store performs only the point addition, the function change on the member store side is only required in the portion in FIG. 13 where CGI is described.

Next, the point redemption process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15, 16 and 17. FIG. In the second embodiment, the point redemption process is performed only between the member and the management body. The processing shown in FIG.
The processing shown in FIG. 6 differs in that the merchandise is browsed and then collated, or the member is collated and then browsed. FIG. 17 is an image diagram showing a sequence between a member, a member store, and an administration in the return process (settlement process) in the second embodiment. FIG. 17 shows the corresponding steps in FIG. First, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

First, a product list is displayed on the member's terminal (step 131). The management body embeds the transaction ID and the hash value in the product list screen (step 130). When the member looks at this screen and puts the merchandise to be returned into the shopping basket, the merchandise information is notified to the management body (step 132). The management body performs a tampering check, registers data in the transaction DB, and the like (step 133), and notifies the member of shopping basket information (step 134). By pressing the order button on the shopping basket confirmation screen, a confirmation notice is given to the management body (step 135). Thereafter, the management body requests the member for the member ID (steps 136 and 137). When the member requests the member confirmation (step 138), the member checks the transaction ID and displays the point balance on the member terminal (step 138). Steps 139, 140). When the member presses the next button in the point balance display, the settlement screen is displayed (steps 141 to 143). By pressing “next” on the payment screen, a notification of payment is made to the management body (step 144), and the management body performs processing such as registering the payment means in the transaction management DB (step 14).
5) A confirmation notice is given to the member (step 14)
6). The member presses the confirmation button on the payment confirmation screen to send a confirmation notice to the operating body (step 1).
47), the operator performs point reduction, etc. (step 1)
48), a confirmation notice is given to the member (step 14).
9). The member can know the remaining points on the remaining point display screen.

The merchandise in the merchandise list can be registered on the member store side in addition to the merchandise prepared by the management body.

FIG. 16 also shows point redemption, but differs from the example shown in FIG. 15 in that member confirmation is performed before product browsing.
The remaining processing is the same as the processing in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, since the management body performs from the display of the product list to the settlement, it can be said that a mall is provided. Although various methods can be used for the settlement process performed by the management body, FIG. 17 shows an image in which payment is performed to each payment institution by the CGI program in the management body. In addition, by sending an order receiving e-mail from the management body to the person in charge of the member store, the member store can know the order received in the return processing, and thereafter can perform the delivery processing and the like.

(Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example in which the management body covers the shopping basket and beyond. In other words, the member store performs the processing up to the display of the product list, and thereafter, all processing is performed by the exchange between the management body and the member. The management body has merchandise information and price information. FIGS. 20 and 21 are diagrams showing an example in which the member store handles the shopping basket and the operating entity performs only the settlement. In this case, the operating entity has amount information.

First, the processing shown in FIG. 18 will be described. The member store displays a product list to the member (step 150). At that time, store ID, transaction I
D, the hash value is embedded in the page with hidden (step 151). When the member presses the “put in shopping basket” button, a notification of product information is sent to the operating body (step 152), and the operating body sends a transaction DB.
Is registered (step 153), and shopping basket information is notified to the member (step 154). Thereafter, when the member presses the order button on the shopping basket confirmation screen, an order form entry screen is displayed (steps 155 to 157).
Here, when the member presses the next button, a member confirmation request is made to the management body (step 158), and the management body performs a point balance search or the like (step 159) and makes a settlement request (step 160). When a point is selected as a settlement means on the settlement screen, the management body calculates a shortage amount or the like (steps 161 and 162), and issues a settlement request to the member for a shortage amount settlement means or the like (step 1).
63). When the member notifies the member of the settlement of the shortage (step 164), the management body registers the settlement means (step 165) and sends a confirmation notice to the member (step 166). When the member confirms the settlement (step 167), the management body calculates points from the purchase amount,
Perform processing such as registration in the member management DB (step 1
68), and sends a confirmation notice to the member (step 16).
9) The settlement result is notified to the member store (step 170). The member store registers the product purchase result (step 171). Note that the process of step 168 is a process of adding points to product purchase.

FIG. 19 is an image diagram showing a sequence of the processing shown in FIG. The operator provides from order acceptance to settlement. That is, since an essential function for EC (electronic commerce) is provided, it can be said that an EC function is provided. As shown in the figure, by transmitting the order receiving e-mail to the member store, the member store can know the order, and thereafter can perform the delivery process and the like.

As described above, the processing shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 differs from the processing shown in FIGS.
This is different from the example described in FIG. That is, FIG.
In the example of 1, the processes of steps 180 to 184, that is, the process of displaying the product list, the process of putting the products in the shopping basket, and the order request are performed by the member store. After that, the same processing as the processing shown in FIG. 18 is performed. FIG. 21 corresponds to FIG.
It is an image figure which shows the sequence of a process. In this case, it can be said that the order is accepted at the member store, and the management body provides only the settlement function. Further, the management body notifies the member store of the settlement result information.

As in the case of the above-described second embodiment, in a mode in which a return process including display of a product is performed on the management body side, for example, (1) a product is prepared on the management body side and exchanged for points. And (2) the merchant sells (registers points for) merchandise registered in the operating entity on the operating entity's site.

Further, in each of the modes (1) and (2), the point is used to cover the full price of the product,
As shown in the second embodiment, points and other payment methods may be used together.

As described above, according to the present invention, there is an advantage in that a common point service can be provided regardless of the member store. The point service providing function can be provided to a specific store as a private point service function in that store. As a result, a store in which it is difficult to independently add the point service function can easily provide the point service. That is, conventionally, the payment function and the point service are integrated, but according to the present invention, the point service can be provided regardless of the existing payment function of the store.

The configuration of the point service system of the present invention is not limited to the configurations shown in FIGS. For example,
Any of a WWW server, a mail server, and a database server may be configured as a load balancing configuration or a redundant configuration, or all processes may be performed by one computer. Further, when the center device is composed of a plurality of servers, each server may be remote.

By installing a program for performing the processing shown in the above-described embodiment in a computer,
It becomes possible to configure a member store or an operating body of the present invention. The program may be preinstalled on the computer, or the program may be stored on a CD-ROM.
Alternatively, the program may be stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a disk or a floppy (registered trademark) disk, and the program may be installed in the computer from the recording medium.

The hardware of such a computer has, for example, the configuration shown in FIG. The computer includes a CPU 100 for executing processing, a memory 101 for storing programs and data, a memory 101 or a CPU 1
00, a hard disk 102 for storing programs and data to be used at 00, a display 103 for displaying data,
Keyboard 104 for inputting data or instructions, CD-
ROM drive 105, communication processing device 1 for communicating with another computer system or the like via a network
06. The program is loaded on the hard disk 102 via the CD-ROM drive 105, and is executed by the CPU 100 when the program is started.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments and can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0110]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a common point service not depending on the settlement function of the member store. In addition, even if the member store already has a payment function, the member store can easily provide the point service to the user. Therefore, the convenience of the user is improved, and the sales of the member store can be expected to be improved. Furthermore, there is also an effect that the management body can utilize the product purchase information as marketing information and contribute to the sales improvement of the member stores.
