Description

  The present invention relates to an article providing system that provides articles (including services) to a large number of subjects, and a registration data management server.

  Traditionally, railway companies sell school commuter passes to students. School commuter pass is cheaper than commuter commuter pass, so it is obliged to submit a commuter certificate to prove commuting at the time of purchase. Students applied to the school for the issuance of school certificates, and submitted the school certificates to the staff at the school commuter pass sales office. In particular, in April, the beginning of the year when railway companies do not issue continuous commuter passes, there are many students who purchase school commuter passes at the counter, and the counters that sell school commuter passes are crowded. For this reason, the burden on the staff who sell the school commuter pass was heavy.

  In addition, for the purpose of alleviating the congestion at the counter that sells school commuter passes, students who have registered their certificate data on the server by registering the certificate data related to the school certificate with the server of the railway company in advance can be used. For example, there is a system in which a school commuter pass can be purchased at a ticket vending machine without presenting a school certificate (see Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-97268 A

  However, the invention described in Patent Document 1 is not configured to notify a student who purchases a school commuter pass that certificate data for school proof has been registered in the server. It takes a certain amount of time for the student's certificate data to be registered in the railway company's server after the student applies for the issuance of the school certificate. For this reason, students whose certificate data is not registered on the server (students who applied for the issuance of school certificate) to the school may perform operations related to purchasing school commuter pass tickets. In this case, since the student cannot purchase the school commuter pass, the operation related to the purchase of the school commuter pass is wasted. That is, the invention described in Patent Document 1 may cause a student to wastefully perform an operation for purchasing a school commuter pass, and the service for a student who purchases a school commuter pass is not good.

  The object of the present invention is not only to reduce the burden on a provider (for example, a staff member who sells a school commuter pass) that provides an article (including a service), but also to receive the provided article (including a service). The purpose is to provide a technology for improving the service for recipients (for example, students who purchase a commuter pass).

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

  The terminal and the registered data management server are connected so that data communication is possible.

  The registration data management server stores, for each target person, registration data input for the target person in the registration data storage unit. The reading code generation unit generates an optical reading code (for example, a one-dimensional barcode or a two-dimensional barcode) related to the registration data stored in the registration data storage unit. Then, the notification unit notifies the subject of the optical reading code generated by the reading code generation unit.

  Therefore, the subject recognizes that the registration data related to himself / herself has been stored in the registration data storage unit by receiving this notification. This notification may be made by e-mail or mail.

  When the registration data reading unit reads the optical reading code, the terminal transmits an authentication request including the code read by the processing unit to the registration data management server, and provides the article according to a response from the registration data management server. Perform the process.

  The goods referred to here include not only physically existing items but also services.

  For this reason, it is possible to prevent the target person from performing an operation for receiving provision of the article at the terminal when the registration data relating to the subject is not stored in the registration data storage unit. For example, a student who purchases a school commuter pass can be notified that certificate data related to school certification has been registered on the server, so students whose certificate data is not registered on the registration data management server (commuting certificate) Students who have applied for the issuance of a certificate to the school but are not yet registered) can prevent the ticket vending machine from performing operations related to purchasing school commuter passes. Therefore, the service for the target person can be improved. In addition, since a student whose certificate data is not registered in the registration data management server does not perform an operation for purchasing a commuter pass at the ticket vending machine, the ticket vending machine can be prevented from being crowded with users.

  According to the present invention, not only the burden on a provider who provides an article (including a service) can be reduced, but also the service for a recipient who receives the provided article can be improved.

The 2DBC reading unit 27 corresponds to the registered data reading unit referred to in the present invention.

  Next, the operation of this school commuter pass issuance system will be described.

  First, the student applies to the school for the issuance of a school certificate required to purchase a school commuter pass. At this time, the student fills in the necessary items on a predetermined application form prepared by the school. Students can use the school commuter pass at the departure station, arrival station, transit station, number of months, name, age (date of birth), gender, school name, school year, address, telephone number, email address, and notification method (email / mail) ) As a required item. At this time, it goes without saying that the school will not accept applications from non-students.

  The school aggregates applications for issuing school certificates from students and requests the railway company to register registration data based on the school certificates. At this time, the school may hand the application form filled in with the student to the railway company as a school certificate, or use an information processing device such as a personal computer to apply for a student's school certificate. The commuting certificate data created based on this may be passed to the railway company. When passing the commuting certificate data to the railway company, a registration request for registration data may be made by communication using the network 3.

  The railway company registers registration data in the registration data management server 1 in response to a registration request from the school. Registration data registration processing in the registration data management server 1 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing this registration process. FIG. 6 shows registration processing for one student, and the registration data management server 1 performs this registration processing for each student who has requested registration of registration data from the school side.

  The registration data management server 1 accepts the input of school proof data at the input unit 12 (s1). This school proof data includes the commuter pass departure station, arrival station, transit station, number of months, name, age (date of birth), gender, school name, school year, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and notification method ( E-mail / mail) and filled out by the student. When an application form filled with necessary information from the school side is given as a commuting certificate, the operator operates the keyboard to enter it.

  The registration data management server 1 generates registration data based on the school certificate data input in s1 (s2). In s2, the registration data shown in FIG. 3 is generated. Specifically, an identification code is given and a password is set. In addition, the processing date is set as the registration date, and an expiration date (for example, one month) based on the registration date is set. Furthermore, 2DBC concerning this registration data is generated. 2DBC includes information (for example, an identification code) that can be associated with registered data. In order to improve security, 2DBC is preferably generated with a code obtained by encrypting original data (such as an identification code).

  The registration data management server 1 stores the registration data generated in s2 in the registration data storage unit 13 (s3). The registration data management server 1 notifies registration completion to the student whose registration data is stored in the registration data storage unit 13 (s4). In s4, for students whose notification method is email, registration completion is notified by email addressed to the designated email address. For students whose notification method is postal mail, print data of postal items (crimp postcards, etc.) addressed to a designated address is generated. In this registration completion notification, the student is notified of at least 2 DBC images.

  In this completion notification, all items related to the registration data may be notified to the student to check whether there is an error in the registration contents.

  The student recognizes that the school commuter pass can be purchased by the registration completion notification from the registration data management server 1. In other words, the student recognizes that a school commuter pass cannot be purchased until a registration completion notice is received from the registration data management server 1.

  Next, the operation when a student purchases a school commuter pass at the ticket vending machine 2 will be described. As described above, the ticket vending machine 2 can process not only the issuance of school commuter passes, but also the issuance of tickets, issuance of commuting commuter passes, issuance of IC cards, and charging (payment) to IC cards. Issuance, issuance of a commuter pass, issuance of an IC card, charging (payment) to the IC card, and the like are the same as those of a publicly known ticket vending machine, and the description thereof is omitted here.

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing for issuing a school commuter pass in a ticket vending machine. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a commuter pass issuance authentication process in the registration data management server.

  The ticket vending machine 2 starts the process shown in FIG. 7 when the operation section 23 performs an operation for purchasing a school commuter pass.

  The ticket vending machine 2 waits for the 2DBC reading unit 27 to read the 2DBC that the student purchasing the school commuter pass deceived at the reading sensor 27a (s11). At this time, the display unit 22 displays, on the display 22a, a guidance screen that guides students who purchase a school commuter pass to trick 2DBC into the reading sensor 27a. As described above, a student whose registration data is registered in the registration data management server 1 is notified of 2DBC related to the registration data. Moreover, the ticket vending machine 2 does not issue a school commuter pass to a person who does not have an appropriate 2DBC.

  When the 2DBC reading unit 27 reads 2DBC on the reading sensor 27a by a student who purchases a school commuter pass at the 2DBC reading unit 27, the communication unit 28 requests the registration data management server 1 to issue a school commuter pass approval request. (S12), and waits for an authentication result from the registration data management server 1 (s13). In s12, the 2DBC reading unit 27 transmits an authentication request including the code read from 2DBC.

  When there is an authentication request from the ticket vending machine 2 in the communication unit 14, the registration data management server 1 searches the registration data stored in the registration data storage unit 13, and a student who purchases a school commuter pass reads the reading sensor 27a. Authentication processing for determining whether or not the 2DBC dressed as 2 is appropriate (s31, s32). In s32, the identification number of the corresponding student is extracted from the code included in the authentication request transmitted from the ticket vending machine 2 (the code read from the 2DBC that the student purchasing the school commuter pass dressed as the reading sensor 27a). Then, the presence / absence of the corresponding registration data and the issuance status (not issued or already issued) of the school commuter pass are checked to determine whether 2DBC is appropriate. The registration data management server 1 determines that 2DBC is appropriate if the registration data is stored in the registration data storage unit 13 and the status is unissued, and is inappropriate in other cases. judge.

  The registered data management server 1 transmits an authentication result based on the determination result of s32 to the ticket vending machine 2 (s33). When the registration data management server 1 determines that 2DBC is appropriate, the registration data management server 1 transmits an authentication result permitting the issuance of a school commuter pass to the ticket vending machine 2. On the other hand, if it is determined that 2DBC is inappropriate, an authentication result prohibiting the issuance of a school commuter pass is transmitted to the ticket vending machine 2. Further, when the registration data management server 1 transmits to the ticket vending machine 2 an authentication result permitting issuance of a school commuter pass, the registration data management server 1 also transmits the registration data including the corresponding registration data to the ticket vending machine 2.

  If the authentication result from the registration data management server 1 prohibits the issuance of a school commuter pass, the ticket vending machine 2 performs an issue canceling process for displaying on the display 22a that the display unit 22 cannot issue a school commuter pass. Is performed (s15), and this processing is terminated. At this time, the reason why the school commuter pass cannot be issued on the display 22a (registration data is not stored in the registration data storage unit 13 or the school commuter pass has already been issued) is also displayed. Good.

  If the authentication result from the registration data management server 1 is the issuance permission for the school commuter pass, the ticket vending machine 2 displays information related to the school commuter pass to be issued on the display 22a (s16). In s16, there are the departure station, arrival station, transit station, number of months, name, age (date of birth), sex, etc. included in the registration data transmitted together with the issuance permission.

  Students check this information for errors. If there is no mistake, the student presses the confirmation button displayed on the display 22a, and if there is a mistake, the student presses the cancel button displayed on the display 22a.

  When the cancel button is pressed (s17), the ticket vending machine 2 ends this processing. In this case, the student makes an inquiry to the station staff etc. that the registration data is incorrect.

  When the confirmation button is pressed (s18), the ticket vending machine 2 accepts the input of the use start date of the school commuter pass (s19). In s19, the display unit 22 displays a guidance screen that prompts the student who purchases the school commuter pass to input the start date of the school commuter pass on the display 22a.

  The ticket vending machine 2 accepts the selection input of the type of medium to be used as a school commuter pass when the operation unit 23 accepts the start date of the student commuter pass from the student (s20). In s20, the display unit 22 displays on the display 22a a guidance screen that prompts the student who purchases the school commuter pass to select and input the type of medium used as the school commuter pass. In s20, a magnetic ticket, a newly purchased IC card, or an already owned IC card is selected.

  If the type of medium selected in s20 is an already owned IC card, the ticket vending machine 2 accepts the IC card inserted by the student into the card insertion / release port 24b (s21, s22). If the type of medium selected in s20 is not an already owned IC card (if it is a new IC card or a magnetic ticket), the ticket vending machine 2 does not perform the process related to s22.

  In the ticket vending machine 2, the display unit 22 displays the amount of money required for issuing the school commuter pass on the display 22a (s23), and the coin processing unit 25 and the banknote processing unit 26 accept the insertion of money (coins and banknotes) ( s24). The ticket vending machine 2 issues a school commuter pass when money equal to or greater than the amount required to issue the school commuter pass displayed on the display 22a in s23 is inserted (s25). In s25, the school commuter pass is issued on the type of medium selected in s20. The school commuter pass is discharged to the card insertion / release port 24b. Further, in the ticket vending machine 2, the coin processing unit 25 and the banknote processing unit 26 release change as necessary.

  When the issuance of the school commuter pass is completed, the ticket vending machine 2 notifies the registration data management server 1 of the completion of the issuance (s26) and ends this process. This issuance completion notice includes an identification code for identifying the student who has issued the school commuter pass this time.

  When the communication unit 14 receives the issuance completion notification from the ticket vending machine 2, the registration data management server 1 registers “issued” in the registration data of the corresponding student stored in the registration data storage unit 13 (s 34, s 35). ).

  Thus, in the school commuter pass issuance system according to this example, the school voucher 2 can issue a school commuter pass, so that it is possible to reduce the manpower required to issue the school commuter pass. In addition, students who purchase school commuter passes can recognize from the registration completion notification that they are ready to purchase school commuter passes at the ticket vending machine 2. Not to do. Therefore, it is possible to improve services for students who purchase school commuter pass.

  In addition, students who are not in a situation where they can purchase a school commuter pass at the ticket vending machine 2 (students whose registration data is not registered in the registration data management server 1) will not perform operations related to purchasing a school commuter pass at the ticket vending machine 2. It is possible to prevent the ticket machine 2 from being crowded with users.

  Moreover, since the registration data management server 1 performs authentication related to the issuance of the school commuter pass, it is possible to prevent the duplication of the school commuter pass.

  Also, the ticket vending machine 2 may be configured to input the password notified in the registration completion notification before performing the processing of s12 and to transmit an authentication request including this password to the registration data management server 1. In this case, the registration data management server 1 determines whether or not a school commuter pass can be issued, including whether or not the input password is appropriate. As a result, security against impersonation can be improved.

  A student who purchases a school commuter pass can select the type of media for the school commuter pass.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the above-described school commuter pass issuing system, but can be applied to other systems. For example, a shareholder special benefit system in which a stock company provides goods related to shareholder special offer to shareholders is also possible.

  In this shareholder special benefit system, the target person is a shareholder, personal information such as the address and name of the shareholder, and the contents of an article provided as a shareholder special offer are stored in the registration data management server 1 as registration data. The registered data management server 1 according to this example also has the configuration shown in FIG. The content of goods provided as a shareholder benefit may be set according to the number of shares held by the shareholder.

  The registration data management server 1 sends a registration completion notice (notification of shareholder special benefit) to the shareholders whose registration data is stored in the registration data storage unit 13. This registration completion notice notifies the shareholders of the contents of goods and services provided as a shareholder special benefit, and may be sent by e-mail or mail as in the above example. Also, 2DBC is attached to this registration completion notification.

  When the article provided as a shareholder special offer is a ticket, the ticket vending machine 2 according to the above example is provided with a ticket issuing function for the shareholder special offer. The shareholder selects a ticket issuing process for shareholder special benefit, and causes the ticket vending machine 2 in the above example to read 2DBC attached to the registration completion notification. The ticket vending machine 2 requests the registration data management server 1 for authentication relating to whether or not to issue a ticket for shareholder benefits, and issues a ticket for shareholder benefits according to the authentication result.

  In addition, the registration data management server 1 manages the issuance history of tickets for shareholder benefits for each shareholder (target person), and at the time of an authentication request from the ticket vending machine 2 regarding whether or not to issue a ticket for shareholder benefits, By checking the issuance history with the contents of goods offered as a shareholder special offer, it is possible to provide a service related to the split issue of tickets for shareholder special offer.

  In addition, if the goods offered as a shareholder special offer are free passports for facilities such as theme parks, a registration completion notification is made at a terminal (a terminal in place of the ticket vending machine 2 in the above example) installed near the entrance to the theme park. It is also possible to read the 2DBC attached to and issue a free passport. In this case, as in the above example, the terminal requests the registration data management server 1 to authenticate whether or not a free passport can be issued when a free passport is issued.

  Furthermore, by allowing a POS terminal or the like installed at a service counter of a store to read 2DBC attached to the registration completion notification, the product can be received at the store. In this case, the POS terminal requests the registration data management server 1 to authenticate whether or not the product can be provided.

  As described above, even in the shareholder special benefit system that provides goods and services related to the special shareholder benefit, the registration data management server 1 performs authentication, so that it is possible to prevent the duplicate provision of the service.

  Moreover, it can be used not only for shareholder benefits but also as a system for providing special services to members. For example, it can be used as a system when a credit card company provides a special service to a credit card user (card member).
