Description

  The present invention relates to a transaction management system, a transaction management server, and a transaction management program for managing transaction points that can receive a predetermined service during a transaction.

  In recent years, in order to fix customers as products used in stores, etc., for transactions of products and services, customers are asked to subscribe as members, and the members are given predetermined services at the time of transactions according to their values. Transaction management systems that give transaction points that can be received and stimulate customers' willingness to purchase are known.

  Specifically, it includes a storage device in which information on each member who can hold a transaction point is stored in association with the information on the transaction point held by the member, and at the same time, the transaction point is increased or decreased according to the transaction details during the settlement process. A transaction management system including a transaction management server to which information on the transaction points is sent from a terminal and the settlement terminal has been publicly known (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-192141 A

  In the transaction management system of the above document, if a customer becomes a member, it is possible to use a transaction point held by the member at the time of transaction and receive a predetermined service. For the purpose of fixing the customer, It is easy to explain the merits of encouraging customers to register as members.

  However, in the transaction management system of the same document, when a member uses a transaction point or gives a transaction point to a member, a transaction is performed on the settlement terminal side at the time of the transaction to confirm the member's possession transaction point. When it is necessary to acquire information on the member's transaction points stored in the storage device of the management server, and the settlement terminal and the transaction management server are not connected to be communicable, a transaction using the transaction points may be performed. Can not.

  In addition, if you ask a member to have something like a membership card and store the transaction point information in that membership card, you can conduct transactions using transaction points without communication with the transaction management server. In this case, however, it becomes difficult for the transaction management server to manage the transaction points held by each member.

  In the present invention, a checkout terminal that performs checkout processing, a storage device that stores information on members who can acquire transaction points, and a transaction management server to which increase / decrease information of transaction points is sent from the checkout terminal are communicably connected. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transaction management system, a transaction management server, and a transaction management program that make it possible to give a transaction point to a member and use the transaction point of the member even if it is not done.

  The merchandise management system of the present invention is a memory in which information of each member who can hold a transaction point that can receive a predetermined service at the time of a transaction according to the value is stored in association with the information of the transaction point possessed by the member A transaction management system comprising a device and a transaction management server for sending and receiving information on transaction points from a settlement terminal that increases or decreases transaction points according to transaction details during settlement processing; and the settlement terminal The transaction management server, from the storage device in which identifier information distributed to each member for the purpose of identifying each member so as to identify the member on the settlement terminal side is stored in advance from the storage device to the settlement terminal. The identifier output means for outputting identifier information, and the settlement terminal that has performed the settlement process, the identifier of the member who has performed the settlement, and the increase or decrease of the transaction points due to the settlement An identifier-added information acquisition means for acquiring the information when the information is sent, the identifier-added information acquisition means identifies the member from the information of the acquired identifier, and displays the increase / decrease information of the transaction points. The information is associated with the identified member information and reflected in the transaction point information of the storage device.

  With the above configuration, by using the member identifier information sent to the payment terminal, the payment terminal side can identify the member, and when the communication is restored, the payment terminal side Since the transaction point increase / decrease information is acquired from the identifier-added information acquisition means, the settlement terminal and the transaction management server having the information of the member who uses the transaction point are not communicatively connected. It becomes possible to give a trading point to a member and make a member use a trading point.

  The identifier output means may be configured to send the information on the member transaction points stored in the storage device to the checkout terminal in association with the information on the member identifier.

  In addition, in the commodity management server of the present invention, information on each member who can hold a transaction point that can receive a predetermined service at the time of transaction according to the value is stored in association with the information on the transaction point possessed by the member. The transaction management server is provided with a storage device, and information on the transaction point is sent from the settlement terminal that increases or decreases the transaction point according to the transaction content during the settlement process, so that the member is identified on the settlement terminal side. An identifier output means for outputting member identifier information to the settlement terminal from a storage device in which identifier information distributed for each member for the purpose of identifying each member is stored in advance, and a settlement terminal that performs settlement processing The information acquisition means with an identifier for acquiring the information when the identifier of the member who performed the settlement and the increase / decrease information of the transaction points by the settlement are sent, The identifier-added information acquiring means identifies a member from the acquired identifier information, associates the increase / decrease information of the transaction point with the identified member information, and reflects it in the transaction point information of the storage device. And

  Further, the product management program of the present invention is a storage device in which information on each member who can hold a transaction point that can receive a predetermined service at the time of transaction is associated with information on the transaction point possessed by the member. Is a transaction management program for acquiring information on the transaction points sent from the settlement terminal that increases or decreases the transaction points according to the transaction details during the settlement process, and a member having An identifier output process for outputting identifier information of a member to the settlement terminal from a storage device in which identifier information distributed for each member is identified in advance for the purpose of identifying each member so that identification is performed on the settlement terminal side And when the settlement terminal that has performed the settlement process has received the identifier of the member who has performed the settlement and the increase / decrease information of the transaction points due to the settlement, In the information acquisition process with identifier for acquiring information and the information acquisition process with identifier, the member is identified from the acquired identifier information, and the increase / decrease information of the transaction points is associated with the identified member information, It is for performing the process reflected on the information of the transaction point of a memory | storage device.

  According to the present invention, by using the member identifier information sent to the payment terminal, the payment terminal can identify the member, and when the communication is restored, the transaction on the payment terminal side. Since the increase / decrease information of points is acquired from the information acquisition means with identifier, even if the settlement terminal and the transaction management server having the information of the members who use the transaction points are not connected to be communicable It becomes possible to give trading points to members and allow members to use trading points.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the illustrated example.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a transaction management system to which the present invention is applied. The transaction management system 1 includes a transaction management server 2, one or more fixed settlement terminals 3, and one or more mobile settlement terminals (settlement terminals) 4.

  This transaction management system 1 manages the transaction or transaction information when the settlement process at the time of merchandise transaction is performed by the settlement terminals 3 and 4, and provides various services for customers (members) registered as members. It provides services. Specifically, a member can obtain transaction points according to the amount of payment (transaction amount) at the time of transaction of a service or a product. It becomes possible to select.

  Incidentally, the member can use this transaction point and receive various services according to the value when the service or the product is traded. In this example, the transaction is used from the payment amount (transaction amount) at the time of transaction, provided that the member transaction point used by the member is subtracted from the transaction point held by the member. It is possible to receive a service for deducting the amount corresponding to the point value. In other words, the holding transaction points can be used instead of cash.

  The fixed settlement terminal 3 is called a fixed register facility, and it is used for settlement processing at the time of transactions such as products and services, conversion processing of generated transaction points that are transaction points generated in connection with the settlement, A process for causing the member to use the possessed transaction points, which are the transaction points to be retained, is fixedly installed in a store or the like.

  This fixed register facility 3 is connected to the transaction management server 2 so as to be communicable directly or via a network. The POS information including the settlement information and other transaction information at the time of transaction is sent to the transaction management server 2 side. And the information on the generated transaction points or the used transaction points are transmitted to the transaction management server 2 side together with the information of the members who generated or used the transaction points. Incidentally, POS is an abbreviation for “Point of sale”, and the POS information includes detailed transaction information such as “when, which product, what price, how many sold”.

  The mobile settlement terminal 4 is called a mobile register facility, and is used for settlement processing at the time of transactions for goods and services, conversion processing of generated transaction points generated by the settlement, and owned transaction points as members. It is a mobile terminal that can be easily carried by a salesperson such as a salesclerk in the store.

  For this reason, the mobile register facility 4 is communicably connected to the transaction management server 2 via a wired or wireless network or directly, but cannot communicate with the transaction management server 2 as indicated by a virtual line in FIG. When moved to a place, the transaction management server 2 is disconnected.

  When the mobile register facility 4 is disconnected from the transaction management server 2, the mobile register facility 4 stores the POS information including the settlement information and other transaction information at the time of transaction in the built-in storage unit 4a. In addition, when the communication state is recovered and the transaction management server 2 is connected, the POS information stored in the storage unit 4a is transmitted to the transaction management server 2.

  The transaction management server 2 is realized by installing a transaction management program to which the present invention is applied in a computer having a storage device 6 for storing member information and various information.

  The transaction management server 2 is stored in the storage device 6 and the transaction information acquisition means 7 for acquiring the POS information sent from the fixed register facility 3 and the mobile register facility 4 in addition to the storage device 6 described above. Member information input / output means 8 for transmitting member information to the fixed register facility 3 and receiving postpayment information and transaction point information sent from the fixed register facility 3, and for the purpose of identifying each member Identifier output means 9 for sending an identifier (specifically a member number or member ID) distributed every time from the storage device 6 to the mobile register facility 4, and postpay information with identifier sent from the mobile register facility 4 Or the identifier addition information acquisition means 11 which acquires transaction point information with an identifier is provided.

  The storage device 6 stores various types of information in a data table in which information is associated and stored. Specifically, the storage device 6 includes a member data table 12 in which member information including an identifier is stored, and a transaction data table 13 in which the above-described transaction information included in the POS information is stored.

  FIG. 2A is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the member data table, and FIG. 2B is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the transaction data table. The member data table 12 includes an identifier consisting of a “member ID” made up of numbers, a “name” in which the name of the member is stored, and a member number and member ID distributed to each member in order to identify each member. Fields include “identifier” stored, postpayment total amount in which the total amount of postpayment that the member has not actually paid, and “holding transaction point” in which the member's holding transaction points are stored is doing.

  That is, information on the transaction points owned by a member and information on the postpaid total amount that is unpaid for the member are stored in the storage device 6 in association with an identifier for identifying the member. Incidentally, when the member pays a part or all of the total postpaid amount by transfer or the like, the paid amount is subtracted from the total postpaid amount of the member, and this is reflected in the information of the member data table 12.

  The transaction data table 13 includes a “transaction ID” made up of numbers, a “transaction object name” that stores the name of a transaction object that is the name of a product or service to be traded, and a payment paid by a customer during the transaction. The field includes a “transaction amount” in which a transaction amount that is an amount is stored, and a “transaction time” in which the transaction time that is the transaction time is stored.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the transaction information acquisition means 7 acquires POS information sent from the fixed register facility 3 and the mobile register facility 4, and adds new data to the transaction data table 13 as needed. It is configured to remember.

  The member information input / output means 8 sends the member information stored in the member data table 12 to the fixed register facility 3 and the fixed register facility 3 in response to a request from the fixed register facility 3. The coming member information is reflected in the information of the member data table 12.

  As described above, for example, when a customer tries to pay the transaction amount by the post-payment payment method in the fixed register facility 3, first, the fixed register facility 3 is acquired via the member information input / output means 8. Whether the customer is a member or not, if the customer is not a member, the fact that the customer is not a member is indicated to the operator operating the fixed register facility 3 or the customer. Inform. On the other hand, if the customer is identified as a member, the fixed-type register facility 3 performs postpaid settlement processing, and the transaction amount at this time is sent to the member data table 12 via the member information input / output means 8. Is added to the amount described in the column of the postpaid total amount for the member to obtain a new postpaid total amount, and the processing is terminated.

  In addition, when a certain customer pays the transaction amount in cash in the fixed register facility 3, first, the fixed register facility 3 determines this based on the member information acquired through the member information input / output means 8. It is confirmed whether or not the customer is a member, and if the member is not a member, the process is terminated after the settlement process. On the other hand, if the customer is identified as a member, the fixed register facility 3 performs post-payment settlement processing, and the occurrence occurs according to the transaction amount through the member information input / output means 8 The transaction point is added to the amount described in the member's holding transaction point column in the member data table 12 to obtain a new holding transaction point, and the processing is terminated.

  Further, when a certain customer tries to pay a part or all of the transaction amount in the fixed register facility 3 with the transaction points that the customer owns, the fixed register facility 3 first sets the member information input / output means 8 to Whether the customer is a member or not is confirmed based on the member information obtained through the user, and if the customer is not a member, the operator of the fixed-type register facility 3 or the customer is informed that the customer is not a member. Inform. On the other hand, if it is identified that the customer is a member, a settlement process is performed by subtracting the amount corresponding to the used transaction points, and the used transaction points are stored in the member data table 12 via the member information input / output means 8. The amount is subtracted from the amount described in the member's holding transaction point column to obtain a new holding transaction point, and the processing is terminated.

  As described above, since the fixed register facility 3 is always connected to the transaction management server 2 so as to be communicable, the member information stored in the member data table 12 of the transaction management server 2 is used as the member information input / output means 8. The member information can be obtained in real time via the user ID and the member can be identified on the spot, and the increase / decrease information of the transaction points generated by the contents of the transaction in the fixed register facility 3 8 can be reflected in real time on the information in the member data table 12 of the transaction management server 2.

  On the other hand, the mobile register facility 4 uses the member information stored in the member data table 12 of the transaction management server 2 because the connection with the transaction management server 2 may be interrupted as described above. In some cases, the member cannot be identified in real time, and the increase / decrease information of the transaction points during the checkout process cannot be reflected in the member data table 12 in real time.

  For this reason, the transaction management server 2 stores identifier information in the member data table 12 described above, and includes an identifier output means 9 and an identifier-added information acquisition means 11.

  That is, for the purpose of identifying the member on the mobile register facility 4 side, the identifier information of each member stored in the member data table 12 is transmitted to the mobile register facility 4.

  Further, in order to make it possible to confirm the member's possession transaction points on the mobile register facility 4 side, the identifier output means 9 uses the member information stored in the member data table 12 to retain each member's possession at that time. The transaction point information is transmitted to the mobile register facility 4 in association with the identifier of each member.

  For this reason, the storage unit 4a of the mobile register facility 4 temporarily stores various types of information in a data table in which information is associated and stored. Specifically, the received data from the identifier output means 9 Is stored as it is, a member transmission data table 16 for storing transmission data to be transmitted to the identifier-added information acquisition means 11, and a transaction transmission data table for storing transmission data to be transmitted to the transaction information acquisition means 7. 17.

  3A is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the reception data table, FIG. 3B is an explanatory diagram showing the data structure of the member transmission data table, and FIG. 3C is the data structure of the transaction data table. It is explanatory drawing shown. The reception data table 14 includes a “reception ID” made up of numbers, an “identifier” in which the identifier of the member output from the member data table 12 is stored, and a “holding transaction” in which the holding transaction points held by the member are stored. Point "as a field.

  The member transmission data table 16 includes a “member transmission ID” made up of numbers, an “identifier” in which an identifier of the member is stored, and a “use transaction point” in which used transaction points used by the member at the time of transaction are stored. And “acquired transaction points” in which the generated transaction points that are generated at the member according to the transaction amount at the time of transaction are stored, and the postpaid amount when the member selects postpay at the time of transaction “Transmission flag” in which “postpayment amount” and this data set (specifically, a data set of identifier, used transaction point, generated transaction point, and postpayment amount) are transmitted are stored. And as a field. Incidentally, when the transmission flag is OFF, this data set has already been transmitted, and when it is ON, this means that the data set has not yet been transmitted.

  The transaction transmission data table 17 includes a “transaction transmission ID” made up of numbers and a “transmission flag” in which the above-mentioned transmission flag is stored, and the other “transaction data table 17” The transaction name, transaction amount, and transaction period are included as fields.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the identifier output process performed by the identifier output means. When there is a data transmission request from the mobile register facility 4, the identifier output means 9 starts the identifier output processing and proceeds to step S1. In step S1, from each member information stored in the member data table 12, the identifier of each member and the current transaction point of the member are extracted, and the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S2, a set of data in which the member identifier information and the member's possession transaction points are associated is generated for each member, and the process proceeds to step S3. In step S3, each data set generated in step S2 is transmitted to the mobile register facility 4 that requested the data transmission, and the process is terminated.

  That is, data having the same structure as the reception data table 14 is transmitted to the mobile register facility 4, and the mobile register facility 4 that has received the data stores the information in the reception data table 14 stored in the storage unit 4a as the latest information. Update to stuff.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram of a settlement screen displayed on the display of the mobile register facility. The mobile register facility 4 includes a touch panel display that a store clerk or other salesperson touches, and a bar code scanner that reads bar code information in which information including a transaction target price is embedded. In the transaction of goods or services, the settlement screen 18 is displayed.

  The settlement screen 18 includes a transaction target name display column 18a for displaying a transaction target name that is the name of a product or service that is a transaction target, a price display column 18b for displaying the transaction price of the transaction target, When the customer who is going to trade is a member, an identifier input field 18c for inputting the identifier of the member, a search button 18d that can be touch-operated, and a retained transaction point display field 18e for displaying the retained transaction points Have.

  Information from the barcode scanner is displayed in the trade name display field 18a and the price display field 18b. Then, when an identifier is entered in the identifier input field 18c and an ON operation is performed by touching the search button 18d, the possessed transaction points of the member having the identifier are retrieved from the information in the received data table 14 stored in the storage unit 4a. The retrieved possessed transaction points are displayed in the retained transaction point display field 18e. As a result, the member can confirm the possession transaction points that he / she currently holds.

  Further, the settlement screen 18 is a payment amount display field 18f in which the amount of payment is displayed, a use button 18g that can be touch-operated and used when a member uses his / her own transaction points, and can be touch-operated. It has a cash payment button 18h used when a member or a customer who is not a member pays cash on the spot, and a postpay button 18i that can be touch-operated and used when the member pays later.

  Initially, the transaction price of the transaction target is displayed as it is in the payment amount display field 18f, but when the customer desires to use the possessed transaction point, an ON operation is performed by touching the use button 18g.

  When this ON operation is performed, the mobile register facility 4 first confirms the information of the identifier input in the identifier input field 18c, and when the identifier input field 18c is not input or the identifier that has been input Is not stored in the received data table 14, it is determined that the customer who wants to use the transaction point is not a member, informs that fact, and displays the settlement screen on the display of the mobile register facility 4 again. 18, while the identifier input in the identifier input field 18 c is stored in the received data table 14, it is determined that the customer who wants to use the transaction points is a member, The holding transaction points of the member having the identifier are acquired from the reception data table 14.

  Subsequently, the mobile register facility 4 displays the amount obtained by subtracting the amount obtained by converting the acquired holding transaction point into cash from the transaction price of the transaction target as a new payment amount, and displays it in the payment amount display field 18f. .

  At this time, if the amount of the transaction points converted into cash is lower than the transaction price of the transaction target, the member will use all of the transaction points held, so the transaction points used will be A data set in which the member is associated with the member identifier and the transmission flag is turned on is newly added to the member transmission data table 14, and the member's possessed transaction points stored in the reception data table 14 are added. Set to 0 to complete the transaction point usage process.

  On the other hand, if the amount obtained by converting the holding transaction point into cash is higher than the transaction price of the transaction target, the value obtained by converting the transaction price into the transaction point is used as the transaction point, and this is associated with the identifier of the member, and the transmission flag is set. The data set that is turned ON is newly added to the member transmission data table 14, and the value obtained by subtracting the use transaction points from the member's possession transaction points stored in the reception data table 14 is set as a new possession transaction point. And the memory | storage of the reception data table 14 is updated and the utilization process of a transaction point is completed.

  In addition, when an ON operation is performed in which cash is received from the customer and the cash payment button 18h is touched, the mobile register facility 4 starts a payment process with cash payment. In the settlement process by cash payment, first, the name displayed in the transaction target name display column 18a is set as the transaction target name, the amount displayed in the payment amount display column 18f is set as the transaction amount, and the time at that time is the transaction. A data set with the transmission flag set to ON is newly added to the transaction transmission data table 17.

  At the time of the settlement process by cash payment, the mobile register facility 4 is a member when the identifier input in the identifier input field 18c is stored in the reception data table 14, so that the customer is a member. A transaction set corresponding to the transaction amount (for example, a transaction point that is 10% of the transaction amount) is used as a generated transaction point, associated with the identifier of the member, and a data set with the transmission flag turned ON is newly transmitted to the member In addition to adding to the table 14, the generated transaction points are added to the member's holding transaction points stored in the reception data table 14 to obtain new holding transaction points, and the storage of the reception data table 14 is updated.

  Further, when the customer desires payment by postpay and the ON operation is performed in which the salesperson touches the postpay button 18i, the mobile register facility 4 starts the postpay settlement process. Specifically, first, the identifier information input in the identifier input field 18c is confirmed, and when the identifier input field 18c is not input or the input identifier is not stored in the reception data table 14. In this case, it is determined that the customer who wishes to pay by post-payment is not a member, informs the fact, and displays the settlement screen 18 on the display of the mobile register facility 4 again to end the process. If the identifier input in the identifier input field 18c is stored in the reception data table 14, it is determined that the customer who wishes to postpay is a member, and the postpay processing is continued.

  Subsequently, in post-payment processing, the name displayed in the transaction name display field 18a is the transaction object name, the amount displayed in the payment amount display field 18f is the transaction amount, and the time at that time is the transaction time. The data set with the transmission flag turned ON is newly added to the transaction transmission data table 17.

  Then, along with this processing, the transaction point corresponding to the transaction amount is set as the generated transaction point, the transaction amount which is the amount displayed in the payment amount display field 18f is set as the postpaid amount, and these are associated with the identifier of the member, A data set with the transmission flag set to ON is newly added to the member transmission data table 14, and the generated transaction points are added to the member's possession transaction points stored in the reception data table 14. The storage of the reception data table 14 is updated as a transaction point.

  As described above, when the mobile register facility 4 can communicate with the transaction management server 2, the mobile register facility 4 acquires the information of the received data table 14 from the transaction management server 2 and stores it in the storage unit 4 a. Thus, even when communication with the transaction management server 2 is impossible, it becomes possible to smoothly perform postpayment processing of members and increase / decrease processing of transaction points according to transaction contents.

  In the state where communication with the transaction management server 2 is possible, the mobile register facility 4 stores each data set with an identifier stored in the member transmission data table 16 and whose transmission flag is ON, as a transaction management server. 2 is sent to the identifier information acquisition means 11 and the transmission flag is switched to OFF, and each data set stored in the transaction transmission data table 17 and having the transmission flag set to ON is stored in the transaction information of the transaction management server 2. It transmits to the acquisition means 7, and switches a transmission flag to OFF.

  When it is confirmed in the member transmission data table 16 and the transaction transmission data table 17 that there is no data set whose transmission flag is ON, via the identifier output means 9 of the transaction management bar 2 The reception data table 14 is periodically updated to the latest one.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of an identifier-added information acquisition process performed by the identifier-added information acquisition unit. When the identifier-added information acquisition unit 11 receives the identifier-added information from the mobile register facility 4, the identifier-added information acquisition unit 11 starts the identifier-added information acquisition process and proceeds to step S11. In step S11, the member having the identifier is identified from the identifier included in the identifier-added information sent, and when this identification is completed, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, the used transaction points included in the transmitted identifier-added information are subtracted from the member's held transaction points stored in the member data table 12 to obtain new held transaction points, and the process proceeds to step S13. Incidentally, when the identified member does not use the transaction point, the value of the used transaction point is 0. Therefore, in step S12, the value of the retained transaction point held by the member does not change.

  In step S13, the generated transaction points included in the sent identifier-added information are added to the member's holding transaction points stored in the member data table 12 to obtain new holding transaction points, and the process proceeds to step S14. By the way, when the member trades only with the possessed transaction points that he / she owns, no transaction points are generated for the member and the value of the generated transaction points is 0. Therefore, in step S13, the member The value of possession trading points possessed by will not change.

  In step S14, the postpayment amount included in the identifier-added information sent is added to the total postpayment amount stored in the member data table 12 to obtain a new postpayment total amount, and the process is terminated. Incidentally, when the specified member does not conduct a postpaid transaction, the postpaid amount is 0, and therefore the postpaid total amount does not change in step S14.

  As described above, when this identifier-added information acquisition means 11 receives the information of the postpaid member and the postpaid amount from the mobile register facility 4 that has performed postpaid clearing processing, The member is specified, and this postpaid amount is stored in the member data table 12 on the management transaction server 2 side.

  Further, the identifier-added information acquisition unit 11 has this identifier when the transaction point increase / decrease information corresponding to the transaction content (generation or use of transaction points) is sent in association with the identifier. It is reflected in the information of the member's possession transaction points and stored in the storage device 6.

  In addition, the utilization method of the transaction point different from the above-mentioned example is demonstrated.
