BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a joint distribution and collection system for service tickets and the like according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the joint distribution and collection system 1 for service tickets and the like according to this embodiment includes a database server 11 connected to a plurality of general customer terminals 12 via the Internet 13.

The database server 11 includes a customer information database 11a, a company / store database 11b, and a service ticket management system database 11c. The site administrator 15 creates service tickets with fixed criteria (amount, points, etc.)

On the other hand, the general customer inputs necessary information on the presented personal information input screen and transmits it to the database server 11 through the general customer terminal. The information sent from the general customer is the database server 1
1 is a customer information database 1 through a predetermined program
Classify and register in 1a. At this time, it is desirable that the information of the general customer is classified and registered according to sex, age, location of residence, and the like.

A contracted company / shop terminal 14 is connected to the database server 11 via the Internet 13. Through the terminal 14, information regarding the use of the service ticket of the database server 11 is registered for each company. -It is possible to manage (change, add, delete, etc. information about service ticket use).

In the company / shop database 11b, information about sales and sales of products of the company / shop can be registered / changed / added to the database of each company / shop through the company / shop terminal 14.

Only the information can be browsed, and each company / store can conveniently send the information only to customers living in a certain area, sex / age group, and the like. As described above, according to the present invention, each company, store, etc. conventionally distributes service tickets and the like to general customers for the purpose of sales promotion, but by unifying them over the Internet, We will provide a joint distribution and collection system for service tickets, etc. that will not only be possible with the conventional methods but also reduce the labor and cost that each company / store has previously required, while increasing the degree of improvement. It is a thing.

[0038] Preferably, when the customer information is input through the general customer terminal, the database server searches and selects information such as a company / store that matches the customer information, and then selects the selected company / company. It is desirable to create an electronic advertisement in which information on a store or the like is posted, sequentially present it to the general customer terminal, and present it together with the information on the use of the service ticket or the like.

FIG. 7 is an example of the service and the like. A ticket number H, a name I specifying a store used, a member number J and a name K specifying a customer who used it may be written in predetermined positions. preferable. It is desirable that the information such as H, I, J, and K be described in the service ticket usage status input form in FIG. 8 and transmitted to the site administrator via the network for management.

The transmitted information in FIG. 8 is classified into a service ticket usage list for each company / store in FIG. 4 and a service ticket usage list for each customer in FIG. Will be recorded.

[0041]

As described above, according to the joint distribution and collection system for service tickets and the like according to the present invention, service tickets that can be commonly used by various companies and shops for a certain period of time can be requested in advance. It is considered that the value (for example, the amount of money) of the service ticket is naturally increased by the collective distribution to the existing general customers, and the general customer's attention is increased. On the other hand, for the companies / shops side, since each service content is presented to the site where general customers have already attracted a lot of attention, immediate effect can be expected. For example, companies, shops, etc. will appear on a stage where tens of thousands of people have gathered.

In addition, companies, shops, etc. can present information regarding the use of service tickets that differ for a certain fixed period or region, and can freely notify the end of the period or start a new service. It is very convenient because it can be done at any time.

On the other hand, for general customers, since the number of companies / shops that can use the service ticket increases or the contents thereof change, the degree of interest increases and the number of times of accessing the homepage can be expected to increase. .
