  However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 accumulates points issued by another business operator for point cards already owned by a member applicant, or separates points accumulated in point cards. It is not devised about membership subscription to use in the store of the business of. In this case, the above membership cannot be promoted, so some countermeasure is required.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily execute the above-mentioned member subscription using a communication terminal including a mobile phone.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the member subscription promotion server or system of the present invention provides:
Generating means for generating a unique code to be transmitted to the information processing terminal;
First registration means for registering the unique code generated by the generation means;
Transmitting means for transmitting the unique code generated by the generating means;
Second registration means for registering a card ID of a member registration applicant when it is determined that the unique code registered by the first registration means matches the unique code returned in response to transmission by the transmission means With.

  Specifically, for example, in order to execute the operation shown in FIG. 2, the mobile phone 300 is used as an information processing terminal. In this case, the generation means generates a random number that is the unique code due to the reception of the card ID from the reader 100.

  For example, in order to execute the operation shown in FIG. 3, the mobile phone 300 is used as the information processing terminal. In this case, the generation means generates a random number that is the unique code due to reception of a part of the card ID from the mobile phone 300.

  Furthermore, for example, in order to execute the operation shown in FIG. 4, a personal computer (PC) 400 is used as an information processing terminal. In this case, the generation means generates a random number that is the unique code due to the reception of the empty mail from the PC 400.

Creating means for creating an address including the unique code generated by the generating means;
Conversion means for converting the address created by the creation means into a code that can be imaged by the imaging means mounted on the mobile phone;
The transmission unit may transmit the code converted by the conversion unit.

  In this way, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 2, a member subscription applicant can easily perform the member subscription process using an imaging means or the like mounted on the mobile phone 300.

  Moreover, you may provide the program transmission means which transmits the application program required in order to transmit the said unique code and said card ID from the said information processing terminal to the said information processing terminal.

  In this way, as will be described later with reference to FIG. 4, a member who wants to subscribe can easily perform the membership subscription process using the PC 400.

  Furthermore, when a unique code is transmitted from the information processing terminal, it is preferable to include a collating unit that collates the unique code with the unique code registered by the registering unit.

  In this way, the clerk of the store where the reader 100 is installed does not have to perform the collation work.

In addition, the membership subscription promotion system of the present invention includes:
A terminal that generates a unique code including a card ID of a member who wants to register as a member and an address of a member subscription promotion server;
Collation means for collating the card ID with a registered card ID;

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, embodiments and examples of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram of a membership subscription promotion system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a reader 100, a server 200, a mobile phone 300, a personal computer (PC) 400, and a network 500, which will be described below.

  The reader 100 is usually installed near a cash register in a store. Alternatively, the reader 100 is connected to the PC 400 via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) terminal or the like. The reader 100 reads a card ID, member information, and the like stored in an IC card having a credit function, a deposit function, and the like. The reader 100 may have a function of communicating with the network 500.

  In the present embodiment, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag is embedded in the IC card, and an RFID reader is employed as the reader 100. In addition, the reader 100 adds a reader ID uniquely assigned to the reader to the read information and the like, and transmits the information to the server 200.

  In the server 200, member information and the like, a card ID, and the number of points given to the member are associated and registered. Although the specific configuration of the server 200 will be described later, the processing in the server 200 employs, for example, a multitask method.

  The mobile phone 300 transmits information necessary for joining a member to the server 200 via the network 500. The mobile phone 300 is shown as an example, and may be a communication terminal such as a mobile terminal having a communication function such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant).

  The PC 400 transmits information necessary for joining a member to the server 200 via the network 500. In this regard, the PC 400 is used in the same manner as the mobile phone 300 in the member subscription promotion system of the present embodiment.

  The network 500 is a generic name for networks including a wide area communication network such as the Internet, a mobile wireless network that connects the mobile phone 300 and the wide area communication network, and a high-speed LAN (Local Area Network) network that connects the PC and the wide area communication network. is there.

  The server 200 includes a communication unit 210, a random number generation unit 220, an address generation unit 230, a code generation unit 240, a registration unit 250, and a collation unit 260, which will be described below.

  The communication unit 210 performs communication with the mobile phone 300 or the reader 100 through the network 500. For example, the communication unit 210 receives a card ID transmitted from the reader 100 and a reader 100 of a code (for example, a QR (Quick Response) code (registered trademark)) in which a mail address based on a random number described below is encoded. Transmission and reception of mail transmitted from the mobile phone 300 due to imaging of the QR code by the imaging means mounted on the mobile phone 300. Other communication modes will be described in each embodiment.

  The random number generation unit 220 generates a random number that is a unique code that is transmitted to the mobile phone 300 or the reader 100 by the communication unit 210. This random number is transmitted from the cellular phone 300 by a member who wants to join when applying for membership.

  The address creating unit 230 creates an e-mail address including the random number generated by the random number generating unit 220. The mail address created by the address creating unit 230 is encoded and transmitted to the server 200.

  The code creation unit 240 creates a QR code corresponding to the mail address created by the address creation unit 230. The QR code is an example, and various barcodes including other two-dimensional barcodes can be used.

  The registration unit 250 registers, for example, the card ID received by the communication unit 210 and the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 in the database (DB) before the member registration. In addition, the registration unit 250 reads the QR code by the imaging unit mounted on the mobile phone 300 before the member registration, and the sender's email address attached to the email sent from the mobile phone 300 Is also registered in the DB in association with the card ID. On the other hand, the registration means 250 registers the member information, the card ID, and the number of points given to the member after the member registration.

  The collation unit 260 collates the random number included in the mail transmitted by the communication unit 210 with the random number transmitted from the mobile phone 300 or the reader 100 or the PC 400. The collation unit 260 collates the transmission source (mail address) of the mail transmitted from the mobile phone 300 or the reader 100 or the PC 400 with the mail address registered in the DB.

  FIG. 2 is a time chart showing the operation of the member subscription promotion system shown in FIG. First, a member who wants to join or a store clerk puts an IC card in the reader 100. Thus, when the IC card is located within a predetermined distance from the reader 100, the reader 100 reads the card ID stored in the IC card (step S51).

  The reader 100 adds a unique reader ID assigned to the reader to the read card ID and transmits the card ID to the server 200 via the network 500. In the server 200, the communication unit 210 causes the reader 100 to The card ID transmitted from is received (step S52).

  The server 200 is configured to generate a reception confirmation event such as a card ID at a predetermined interval such as every 10 seconds, and when the operation system or a predetermined application program detects this event, the card ID or the like Check for reception. Hereinafter, each process performed by the server 200 is similarly executed in an event-driven manner. If the card ID is received as a result of the confirmation, the random number generation means 220 generates a random number (step S53).

  Next, the address creation unit 230 creates a mail address including the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 (step S54).

  Specifically, when the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 is “1234”, the address generation unit 230 assigns the email address assigned the random number as an account, such as “1234@kanyuhsokushin.com”, Alternatively, create an email address that includes the random number as part of the account, such as “kanyuhsokushin1234@kanyuhsokushin.com”.

  The domain name included in the e-mail address is acquired by the administrator of the member subscription promotion system shown in FIG. 1, and the e-mail address including the domain name is associated with the server 200.

  Subsequently, the code creating unit 240 creates a QR code corresponding to the mail address created by the address creating unit 230 (step S55).

  Further, the registration unit 250 temporarily registers a pair of the card ID received by the communication unit 210 and the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 in the DB.

  Thereafter, the communication unit 210 transmits the QR code created by the code creation unit 240 to the reader 100 via the network 500, and the reader 100 receives this (step S56).

  When the reader 100 receives the QR code transmitted from the communication unit 210, the reader 100 displays the QR code on a display attached to the reader 100 (step S57).

  As a result, when the member who desires to join the member picks up an image of the QR code by the image pickup means mounted on the mobile phone 300, a mail address with a random number is taken into the mobile phone 300 (step S58).

  When the mobile phone 300 takes in the mail address, the mobile phone 300 creates a mail addressed to the mail address by a known application program. After that, when the member application applicant operates the mobile phone 300 to transmit the mail to the server 200 via the network 500, in the server 200, the communication unit 210 receives the mail transmitted from the reader 100. (Step S59).

  The collating unit 260 collates the random number included in the mail address of the received mail with the random number registered in the DB (step S60).

  If the random number included in the mail address of the received mail is not registered in the DB as a result of the collation, the subsequent processing is stopped. On the other hand, if the random number included in the e-mail address of the received e-mail is registered in the DB, the e-mail address of the e-mail transmission source is linked to the temporarily registered card ID, and formally registered as a member. For this purpose, the main registration is performed in the DB, and selectively the main registration is returned to the mobile phone 300 (step S61).

According to the processing procedure described above, a member who wishes to join a member uses the member subscription promotion system shown in FIG.
(1) To read the card ID (step S51), pass the IC card to the reader 100,
(2) In order to acquire a mail address with a random number (step S58), operating the mobile phone 300 for imaging a QR code;
(3) In order to transmit a random number (step S59), three processes of operating the mobile phone 300 may be performed.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 is a time chart showing the operation of the membership subscription promotion system according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The member subscription promotion system and the server 200 are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, but a URL (Uniform Resource Locator), which will be described later, and a reader ID and mail address uniquely assigned to each reader 100 are provided. It is linked and registered in the server 200.

  In addition, when a random number transmitted from the server 200 is received, the mobile phone 300 stores an application program for displaying the random number on a display. This application program can be downloaded from an application server (not shown) when a member who desires to subscribe operates the mobile phone 300.

  First, the reader 100 performs a locking process so that no other processing request is made to the reader 100 until a member joining process described below is completed by a store clerk or the like (step S11).

  Next, a member who desires to subscribe takes an image of a QR code displayed on a display attached to the reader 100 or printed on a paper surface or the like by an imaging means mounted on the mobile phone 300. This QR code corresponds to the URL uniquely assigned to the reader 100. (Step S12).

  When the image is taken, the mobile phone 300 reads the URL (step S13).

  When the mobile phone 300 fetches the URL, the mobile phone 300 creates a link page on which the URL is displayed by a known application program. Thereafter, a member who desires to join the member accesses the server 200 through the URL by operating the mobile phone 300. By referring to the URL, the server 200 can acquire which reader 100 is accessed based on the QR code.

  Then, when a member who desires to join the member operates the mobile phone 300, the mail address assigned to the mobile phone as a transmission source address is transmitted to the server 200 using web mail or the like. At this time, a part of the card ID assigned to the IC card is selectively added to the web mail or the like in order to prevent an unauthorized member registration request from being made to the web mail or the like. You may transmit with respect to 200 (step S14).

  In the server 200, when the communication unit 210 receives a web mail or the like transmitted from the mobile phone 300, a random number is generated by the random number generation unit 220 as in step S53 (step S15).

  Next, the registration unit 250 registers the source address such as a web mail received by the communication unit 210 and the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 in a pair in the DB (step S16).

  When a part of the card ID is transmitted from the mobile phone 300 to the server 200, the registration unit 250 also registers a part of the card ID together with a random number or the like.

  Thereafter, the communication unit 210 transmits the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 to the mobile phone 300 via the network 500 based on the transmission source address such as the received web mail (step S17). .

  When the mobile phone 300 receives the random number transmitted by the communication unit 210, the mobile phone 300 displays the random number on the display according to the application program described above (step S18).

  Similarly, the communication unit 210 transmits the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 to the reader 100 via the network 500 based on the mail address of the reader 100 related to the received mail (step). S19).

  When the reader 100 receives the random number transmitted by the communication unit 210, the reader 100 displays the random number on a display attached to the reader 100 (step S20).

  As a result of executing Steps S18 and S19, the random numbers transmitted from the server 200 are displayed on the displays of the reader 100 and the mobile phone 300, respectively. For this reason, a store clerk or the like can check whether or not the random numbers match each other.

  If the random numbers do not match each other as a result of the collation, the clerk or the like does not perform the subsequent processing. On the other hand, if the random numbers match each other, a store clerk or the like places the IC card on the reader 100. Thereby, the reader 100 reads the card ID stored in the IC card (step S21).

  The reader 100 adds the reader ID assigned to the reader and the random number transmitted from the server 200 to the read card ID, and transmits the card ID to the server 200 via the network 500. The means 210 receives a card ID transmitted from the reader 100 (step S22).

  The card ID and the like transmitted from the reader 100 may be included in the body of the reply mail for the mail used when transmitting the random number in step S19, or the random number is stored in the mail address as described in the first embodiment. You can save time and effort to create emails.

  Next, in the server 200, the registration unit 250 refers to the DB based on the random number transmitted from the reader 100, and associates the mail address registered in step S16 with the card ID received in step S22. And selectively returns to the mobile phone 300 that the main registration has been performed (step S23).

According to the processing procedure described above, a member who wishes to subscribe can join a member related to the server 200 using the membership subscription promotion system of the present embodiment.
(1) In order to obtain a random number (step S17), operating the mobile phone 300 for imaging a QR code;
(1) After imaging the QR code, accessing the server 200 (step S14),
(3) In order to read the card ID (step S21), three processes of handing the IC card to a clerk or the like may be performed.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 4 is a time chart showing the operation of the membership subscription promotion system according to the third embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, a description will be given of a case in which membership subscription is promoted from a PC installed at the home of a member who wishes to subscribe. The member subscription promotion system and the server 200 are configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, but an application program (to be described later) is added to the server in association with the fact that member registration can be performed from the PC 400 instead of the mobile phone 300. 200 is registered in a memory (not shown).

  In the member subscription promotion system of the present embodiment, a homepage (HP) attached to the server 200 is opened. In this HP, a “member registration button” is provided, and when a member who wants to join a member clicks the “member registration button” with a mouse or the like, a so-called empty mail is transmitted to the server 200 using web mail or the like. Make sure that In addition, the “download request button” of the above application program is provided in this HP, and when a member who desires to subscribe clicks the “download request button” with a mouse or the like and performs a required operation, Make sure the download is executed.

  It is assumed that a member applicant wants to operate the PC 400 to transmit a blank mail to the server 200 through the HP, and the communication means 210 receives the mail in the server 200 (step S31).

  In this case, the random number generation means 220 generates a random number as in step S15 (step S32). Then, as in the case of the first embodiment, the registration unit 250 provisionally registers the empty mail source address and the random number as a pair in the DB (step S33).

  Subsequently, a creation unit (not shown) creates a web page on which the random number generated by the random number generation unit 220 is displayed or an email containing the random number. As is well known, the creation of web pages can be realized by using Java Server Pages (JSP), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), Active Server Pages (ASP), etc. If a random number is generated by the random number generation unit 220, the generation unit embeds a random number in the raw page to generate a transmission target web page. . In the present embodiment, unauthorized member registration can be restricted by embedding the random number as a drawing instead of text.

  Thereafter, the communication unit 210 transmits the web page or the like created by the creation unit to the PC 400 via the network 500, and the PC 400 receives this (Step S34).

  Subsequently, when a member who wants to join a member clicks the “download request button” in the above-mentioned HP with a mouse or the like and performs a required operation, the server 200 reads the application program from the memory and transmits it to the PC 400 ( Step S36).

  This application program issues a card ID reading command to the PC reader 100 connected to the PC 400, and the card ID read by the reader 100 in accordance with the reading command is input from the applicant for membership to the card ID. This is a program for causing the PC 400 to execute processing such as adding a random number and transmitting it to the server 200.

  It is assumed that the member application applicant inputs an instruction to start the downloaded application program to the PC 400, and the PC 400 actually starts the application program (step S37).

  Then, the PC 400 reads the random number input screen page and displays it on the display according to the application program. Then, when the member application applicant inputs the random number received in step S34 through the input screen page through the keyboard or the like, the PC 400 takes in the random number (step S38).

  Next, the PC 400 issues a card ID read command to the PC reader 100 in accordance with the application program. The reader 100 reads the card ID from the IC card in accordance with this read command and outputs it to the PC 400, and the PC 400 inputs this card ID (step S39).

  However, the card ID input to the PC 400 may be realized by manual input by a member who desires to subscribe without using the reader 100.

  The PC 400 adds a random number input from the applicant for membership to the card ID output from the reader 100 and transmits it to the server 200 using web mail or the like, and the server 200 receives these ( Step S40).

  Similarly to the case of step S60, the server 200 refers to the DB based on the transmission source address such as web mail, and compares the random number corresponding to the registered transmission source address with the random number included in the web mail or the like. Then, the random numbers are collated (step S41).

  Next, as in step S61, if the random numbers do not match each other as a result of the collation, the subsequent processing is stopped. On the other hand, if the random numbers match each other, the card ID is registered in the DB in association with the temporarily registered source address.

According to the processing procedure described above, a member who wishes to subscribe can join a member related to the server 200 using the membership subscription promotion system of the present embodiment.
(1) Click the “member registration button” to send a blank email (step S31),
(1) In order to download the application program (step S36), clicking the “download request button”;
(3) In order to read the card ID (step S39), three processes of connecting the reader 100 to the PC and placing the IC card on the reader 100 may be performed.

  In this embodiment, the case where the application program is downloaded from the server 200 to the PC 400 has been described as an example. However, the application program may be downloadable from the application server.

  FIG. 5 is a time chart showing the operation of the member subscription promotion system of the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 also shows the operations of the member applicant and the store clerk for easy understanding of the contents.

  In this example, unlike the case shown in the embodiment, a dedicated terminal 600 having a POS function for issuing a code (for example, QR code) obtained by encoding a card ID is used. The dedicated terminal 600 is installed in the store and is connected to the reader 100. Therefore, the dedicated terminal 600 can input the card ID in the IC card read by the reader 100 and output the QR code obtained by encoding the card ID through a printer or the like (not shown).

  In the case of this embodiment, for example, in a receipt issued when a member who wants to join a member makes a purchase at a store where the reader 100 and the dedicated terminal 600 are installed and pays a purchase price using an IC card. It is also possible to include a QR code. By doing so, the opportunity to join the member increases, and it becomes possible to further enhance the membership promotion.

  A member who wants to join or a store clerk puts the IC card on the reader 100. As a result, the IC card is positioned within a predetermined distance from the reader 100, so that the reader 100 can read the card ID stored in the IC card (step S71).

  In this state, when the store clerk presses the “join button” attached to the dedicated terminal 600, a corresponding instruction is output to the dedicated terminal 600 (step S72).

  When this instruction is input, the dedicated terminal 600 outputs a card ID reading command to the reader 100 (step S73). The reader 100 reads the card ID from the IC card according to the command, adds the reader IC assigned to the reader to the read card ID, and outputs it to the dedicated terminal 600 (step S74).

  When the dedicated terminal 600 inputs the card ID and the reader IC, the input card ID and the reader IC are set as a subject, and the “member subscription mail address” of the server 200 registered in advance in a built-in memory or the like. And create the data set as the destination. Then, the dedicated terminal 600 creates a QR code corresponding to the data (step S75).

  Then, the dedicated terminal 600 outputs print data corresponding to the QR code to a printer (not shown). When the printer executes the printing process on the printing paper according to the printing data, the store clerk can obtain the printed matter of the QR code (step S76).

  If the clerk hands over the QR code printed on the printed matter to the member who wants to join the member, the member who wants to join can perform the member joining process through the QR code (step S77).

  Thereafter, the member who wants to join takes the IC card placed on the reader 100 (step S78), and further, for example, by operating the mobile phone 300, the QR code is obtained through the imaging means mounted on the mobile phone 300. When the image is taken (step S79), the mobile phone 300 creates a mail addressed to the “member subscription mail address” by a known application program.

  Subsequently, when a member who wants to join a member performs a required operation on the mobile phone 300, the mail is transmitted to the server 200 via the network 500. In the server 200, the communication means 210 is a mail transmitted from the reader 100. Is received (step S80).

  In the server 200, the verification unit 260 refers to the DB based on the received mail transmission source (mail address), and checks whether or not the mail address is already registered in the DB (step S81).

  If the mail address of the received mail is not already registered in the DB as a result of the collation, the registration means 250 sets the temporary mail address, card ID, and reader ID included in the mail as a set. Register in DB for registration. At this time, a predetermined number of points may be registered in the DB together with the e-mail address or the like in order to cause the member who wants to subscribe to perform the process for shifting to the main registration (step S82).

  Next, when the server 200 creates a “main registration URL” including the card ID and the reader ID and transmits it to the e-mail address of the transmission source, the mobile phone 300 generates the “main registration URL”. Received (step S83).

  In this embodiment, the “main registration URL” is “https: // domain / reg? Cardid = xxxxxxxx & readerid = xxxxxx & mail = xxxx @ xxxxxx” as shown in FIG. Includes “card ID” between “cardid =” and “&”, “reader ID” between “readerid =” and “&”, and “mail =” to “&” "The sender's email address" is included in the "."

  When a member who wants to join a member accesses the server 200 by specifying the “main registration URL” by operating the cellular phone 300 (step S84), the corresponding member subscription page is sent from the server 200 to the cellular phone 300. Is transmitted (step S85).

  As a result, the member subscription page is displayed on the display of the mobile phone 300. Specifically, the initial screen display of the member subscription page is performed using the card ID, reader ID, and e-mail address as parameters. After that, the member who wants to join the member enters an arbitrary login ID and login password into the input field provided on the member subscription page and presses the registration button as in a known method. To do.

  Then, the login ID or the like is transmitted as registration information from the cellular phone 300 to the server 200 in a state linked to the URL, and is received by the server 200 (step S86).

  In the server 200, when the communication unit 210 receives the login ID transmitted from the mobile phone 300, the temporarily registered card is referred to the DB based on the card ID included in the URL associated with the login ID. The main registration is performed in which the IDs are specified and the login IDs are registered in the DB in association with the IDs (step S87).

  After the main registration, the server 200 assigns a member page to the member applicant (member). The member page is a page on which the member browses the number of points given to the member or performs an operation for exchanging the points for other points, cash or products. When the member who wants to join the member (member) transmits a login ID or the like to the server 200, the collation means 260 performs login authentication and enables login to the member page.

  Further, the server 200 replies to the mobile phone 300 that the main registration has been performed (step S88).

  On the other hand, if the mail address of the received mail is already registered in the DB as a result of the collation process in step S81, the card ID transmitted together with the mail address is additionally registered in the DB in association with the mail address. (Step S89).

  As a result, two or more card IDs are associated and registered in the DB for one mail address.

  In addition, the server 200 replies to the mobile phone 300 that the additional registration has been performed (step S90).

According to the processing procedure described above, a member who wishes to subscribe can join a member related to the server 200 using the membership subscription promotion system of the present embodiment.
(1) To read the card ID (step S74), place the IC card on the reader 100 (step S71),
(2) Thereafter, taking the IC card from the reader 100 (step S78),
(3) operating the mobile phone 300 to capture a QR code (step S79);
(4) operating the mobile phone 300 to send an email created by reading the QR code (step S80);
(5) In order to transmit registration information such as a login password to the server 200 (step S86), a process of operating the mobile phone 300 may be performed.

  According to the present embodiment, there is no need for communication between the reader 100 and the server 200 until the member who wants to obtain a QR code printout obtains the QR code, so that the member who wants to subscribe can obtain the QR code at an early stage. It can be obtained and communication congestion can be avoided.

  When the PC 400 is used in place of the cellular phone 300, as an example, an e-mail address assigned to the server 200 is input using an external input device such as a keyboard connected to the PC 400, and step S80 is performed. It is sufficient to execute the process.

  Further, for example, if the mail address assigned to the mobile phone 300 is registered in advance in the IC card and the dedicated terminal 600 can read not only the card ID but also the mail address, Member registration can also be performed without performing a code reading operation or the like (steps S76 to S79).

  Specifically, the dedicated terminal 600 has a communication function, and when the “Join button” is pressed (step S72), a mail address and a card ID are acquired from the IC card through the reader 100. And what is necessary is just to attach reader ID to them and to transmit to the server 200 similarly to step S80.
