  When the past use count of the user who uses the point = 0, the value f (x) calculated based on the information about the user who uses the point is calculated according to the following equation.

f (x) = N _x × distance from home × distance from current location

When the threshold value _x ≧ the number of past use of the user who uses the point ≧ 1, the value f (x) calculated based on the information regarding the user who uses the point is calculated according to the following equation.

f (x) = 1 / past number of times x distance from home x distance from current location

In the case where the number of past use of the user who uses the point> threshold value _x , a value f (x) calculated based on the information regarding the user who uses the point is calculated according to the following equation.

f (x) = M _x × distance from home × distance from current location

As described above, when the number of times the user who uses the points has used the store is zero (that is, when this visit is the first time), the value f (x) is the distance from the home (km). And N _x times the distance (km) from the current location. In addition, when the number of times the user using the point uses the store is greater than or equal to the threshold (that is, when the user using the point is a regular user), the value f (x) is the distance from the home (km). Mx times the distance (km) from the current location. In other cases (when the value is less than one time or more), the value f (x) is set to 1 / the number of visits to the store at the distance from the home (km) to the distance from the current location (km).

  By using the above formula, it is possible to increase the number of new customers and improve the repeat rate by making more points for first-time customers and regular customers. In addition, the method of changing the number of times of “one time or more and less than the threshold value” to two times or three times, and increasing the number of points at the first visit to the store, may be considered to place more emphasis on capturing new customers. .

  In addition, what is necessary is just to use the home information which the use side user terminal 14 has for the distance from a home so that it may be included in a browsing request.

  Next, the calculation formula of the value f (y) calculated based on the information regarding the user who placed the points {the number of times the store is used, the content of the word of mouth} is shown.

  In the case where the past number of times of use of the user who placed the point = 0, a value f (y) calculated based on the information regarding the user who places the point is calculated according to the following equation.

f (y) = N _y x number of reviews x number of reviews

When the threshold _y ≧ the number of past uses of the user who has the point ≧ 1, the value f (y) calculated based on the information regarding the user who arranges the point is calculated according to the following formula.

f (y) = 1 / number of past use x number of reviews x number of reviews

In the case of the past use count of the user who has the point> the threshold value _y , the value f (y) calculated based on the information regarding the user who arranges the point is calculated according to the following formula.

f _(y) = _M y × photograph number of characters × Review

  As the above calculation formula shows, every time a point allocator changes points depending on the number of visits to the store and gives preferential treatment to new customers or regular customers, the number of new customers is increased and the repeat rate is improved. Also, by changing the points according to the number of letters of the word of mouth and the number of photos, it is possible to encourage the polite word of mouth description.

  Further, FIG. 9 shows an example of the point magnification f (z) set by the store according to “visit date, visit day, visit time”. The example in Fig. 9 shows an example of a soba restaurant. The point magnification is set so that the number of points is reduced at year-end and weekday lunch hours crowded with Toshikoshi soba, and points are increased at other times. ing. In this way, customers can be dispersed.

  The flow points obtained by multiplying the values f (x), f (y), and f (z) calculated as described above are actually compared with the point settings for each store as shown in FIGS. Determine the benefits that can be received. For example, when the current point is 80 points, the privilege content “+100 yen discount” is obtained at the store in FIG.

  The result of adding the privilege content by the flow point and the privilege content by the fixed point becomes the privilege content of the electronic point or the electronic coupon received by the user. For example, from FIG. 12, since the privilege content by the holding fixed point of “Group ID = 2415260, Store ID = 110031” is “50 yen discount”, the benefit content “100 yen discount” by the flow point is added to 150 yen. Discounts can be obtained as privilege content.

  Further, when the point system of the store is “fixed points”, the flow points are not calculated, and the privilege contents by the retained fixed points shown in FIG. 12 are output as they are.

  For example, in the case of a store in which “fixed point” is set as the point system, “fixed point = 1 point of store visit” is set. As shown in FIG. 8 above, when the store ID is 110033, the point system is a fixed point and is set to “1 point for visiting customers”. The point of visit refers to a point where, for example, one point is accumulated for every 300 yen of shopping, and the service can be received when 30 points are accumulated. If you can't share your store points, for example, even if you have points in Hokkaido, you may not be able to return to the store again within the expiration date, but the points will expire. From the point of view of the users who use the points, there is an advantage that the points already accumulated by other group members can be used effectively. In addition, from the point of view of the store, there is an advantage that an increase in new customers can be expected by sharing points within the group. For users who have points, it is useful for members of a group such as friends and family to use points that will eventually expire. Conceivable.

  Next, service points will be described.

  The point storage unit 66 further stores service points that can be commonly used in each store in association with each piece of user information.

  When the service point management unit 72 receives from the store-side terminal 18 usage history information indicating that an electronic point or an electronic coupon has been used and including user information indicating the user, the service point management unit 72 stores the usage result information in the point storage unit 66. The service point is calculated for each of the user who is the point allocator and the user who is the point user associated with the electronic point or electronic coupon, and the calculated service point is given. The service points stored in the point storage unit 66 are updated.

  The electronic points and electronic coupons described above are services for each store, but service points are points that are managed in a batch by a service management company and can be used in common by a plurality of stores. As with the electronic points and electronic coupon flow points described above, the service points are information related to the user who uses the points {the number of past uses at the store, the distance from the home, the distance from the current location}, the points It is calculated based on the point magnification set in accordance with the information regarding the arranged user {number of times the store is used, word of mouth content} and "visit date, visit day, visit time". The value f (x) calculated based on the information regarding the user who uses the point and the value f (y) calculated based on the information regarding the user who placed the point are calculated in the same manner as the electronic point. The point magnification is basically the same as that of the electronic points, but the contents are not different for each store, but the contents are determined collectively by the service point management company as shown in FIG. In addition to electronic points, not only point users but also point arrangers can earn points. This creates a direct merit not only for point users but also for point allocators.

  The group management unit 74 manages user information belonging to a group based on information stored in the group storage unit 64 as shown in FIG. In the case of new user registration, the group management unit 74 receives a group update request including group information indicating a group desired to be registered from the user terminal of the user who desires addition, from the group storage unit 64, The group representative of the group is identified, and approval is requested from the identified group representative. If the group representative approves, the group management unit 74 updates the contents of the group storage unit 64 so that the user who wants to add is added as a member of the group.

  Each of the arrangement-side user terminal 12 and the user-side user terminal 14 also receives information from the group storage unit 64, information on the representative of the group to which each user belongs (see FIG. 3), and the latest information of members belonging to the same group as the user. Information (see FIG. 6) can be browsed.

  Inviting from group representatives or members already in the group is also possible. When the user approves, a group set for another social network service can be acquired and set as a group.

  In addition, the service and money flow of the point management system 10 of the present embodiment will be described.

  The service of the point management system 10 and the flow of money are shown in FIG. The management company of the point management server 16 receives the contract money from the store and provides a service by the point management system 10. The contract money may be paid at the time of registration, or may be collected at the rate at which the user uses the service. Part of it is returned to the user as a service point.

  In addition, a store gains profits when a user who uses points actually purchases a product or the like using the store. Although there are discounts for users and payments to the management company of the point management server 16, the introduction of the point management system 10 is expected to improve profits as many users visit the store.

  Next, the operation of the point management system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  First, a user acquires an electronic point or an electronic coupon. There are two main methods for acquiring electronic points or electronic coupons. One is a method of acquiring an electronic point or an electronic coupon by actually using a store, and the other is a method of acquiring an electronic point or an electronic coupon from an advertisement or the like.

  First, a method for acquiring electronic points or electronic coupons by using a store will be described.

  First, when a certain user uses a certain store and pays with a predetermined application credit card or IC card, the store clerk operates the store side terminal 18 to include an electronic point or a user ID and payment information. An electronic coupon transmission request is sent from the store side terminal 18 to the point management server 16.

  When the point management server 16 receives a transmission request for an electronic point or electronic coupon including a user ID and payment information from the store-side terminal 18, information on the electronic point with position information or the fixed point of the electronic coupon that can be used in the store. Is transmitted to the arrangement-side user terminal 12 corresponding to the user ID. When the user shares an electronic point or an electronic coupon, by operating the display screen of the arrangement-side user terminal 12 (see FIG. 4 above), the point management server 16 can receive the electronic point with position information or Information indicating an electronic coupon and two pieces of information of {owned user ID, available group} are transmitted.

  An example in which the arrangement-side user terminal 12 is an in-vehicle terminal mainly includes a case where a user uses refueling or drive-through at a gas station. In addition to credit cards and IC cards, the payment from the user to the store is a method using a key of a car in which an IC chip is embedded, or the car number plate and the credit card if the credit card is linked in advance. There are methods such as payment by automatic reading of plates.

  Next, a method for acquiring electronic points or electronic coupons from an advertisement or the like will be described.

  When distributing an advertisement by opening a store or selling the store, the store also writes a QR code (registered trademark) or a coupon ID in which information of electronic points or electronic coupons that can be acquired in the advertisement is embedded.

  When the user shares the advertisement, the QR code (registered trademark) of the advertisement is read by the arrangement-side user terminal 12 or the coupon ID is input from the application, and the point management server 16 is provided with position information. An arrangement request including two pieces of information indicating an electronic point or an electronic coupon and {owning user ID, available group} is transmitted.

  The point management server 16 receives the information indicating the electronic point or electronic coupon with location information transmitted from the arrangement-side user terminal 12 received by the communication unit 60, and the two information of {owned user ID, available group}. Is received by the point management unit 68, the received information is stored in the point storage unit 66.

  Then, the point management server 16 executes a point management processing routine shown in FIG.

  First, in step 100, it is determined whether or not a browsing request has been received from the user side user terminal 14 of the point user. Here, the user operates the user terminal 14 to transmit a browsing request including the position information of the terminal, the user ID, and the store search range from the user terminal 14 to the point management server 16. When received by the point management server 16, the process proceeds to step 102.

  In step 102, an electronic point or an electronic coupon that can be used by the group to which the user ID included in the browsing request belongs from the point storage unit 66, and is specified in the browsing request from the current position of the user terminal 14 on the use side. The electronic point or the electronic coupon to which the store position information existing within the set store search range is given is searched.

  In step 104, the privilege content is calculated for the electronic point or electronic coupon to be calculated among the electronic points or electronic coupons searched in step 102.

  In the next step 106, it is determined whether or not the privilege content has been calculated for all the electronic points or electronic coupons searched in step 104 above. When there is an electronic point or electronic coupon for which the privilege content has not been calculated, the process returns to step 104, and the electronic point or electronic coupon is repeated as a calculation target. On the other hand, when the privilege contents are calculated for all the electronic points or electronic coupons searched in step 104, the process proceeds to step 108.

  In step 108, for all of the electronic points or electronic coupons searched in step 104, the privilege content calculated in step 106, the user name of the point arranger, evaluation information about the store, and the expiration date are represented. The point list data is transmitted to the user terminal 14 that has transmitted the browsing request.

  In the next step 110, a point use request including information indicating the electronic point or electronic coupon selected to be used is received from the use side user terminal 14 to which the point list data transmitted in step 108 is transmitted. It is determined whether or not. When the point use request is received from the user terminal 14 on the use side, the process proceeds to step 112.

  In step 112, the electronic point or electronic coupon for obtaining the privilege content calculated in step 104 is issued for the electronic point or electronic coupon selected to be used and distributed to the user terminal 14 on the use side. Here, when the use side user terminal 14 receives the issued electronic point or electronic coupon, the issued electronic point or electronic coupon is displayed on the touch panel display, and when using the store, Presented.

  In the next step 114, it is determined whether or not the usage record information is received from the store side terminal 18 of the store of the store position information given to the electronic point or the electronic coupon. Here, when the user of the use side user terminal 14 presents the issued electronic point or electronic coupon and uses the store, the store side terminal 18 is operated by the store clerk of the store, and the electronic point or electronic coupon is obtained. Usage result information indicating that is used is transmitted to the point management server 16.

  When the point management server 16 receives the usage record information of the electronic points or electronic coupons issued in step 112, the process proceeds to step 116. In step 116, the content of the point storage unit 66 is updated to reflect the point use result, and the point management processing routine is terminated.

  Step 104 is realized by the privilege content calculation processing routine shown in FIG.

  First, in step 120, it is determined whether the point system of the electronic coupon or electronic point store to be calculated is a flow point or a fixed point. If the point system of the electronic coupon or electronic point store to be calculated is set as a flow point, the flow point is calculated in step 122. Specifically, the past number of times of use in the store corresponding to the point user's user ID is acquired from the user storage unit 62, and the home location information is acquired from the browsing request transmitted from the point user. In addition, the past number of times of use at the store corresponding to the user ID of the point user and the word-of-mouth content for the store are acquired. Moreover, the location information included in the browsing request and the store location information given to the electronic coupon or electronic point to be calculated are acquired.

  And information about the user who uses the point {the number of past use at the store, the distance from the home, the distance from the current location}, the information about the user who placed the point {the number of use of the store, the contents of word of mouth}, and the The flow points are calculated based on the point ratio set by the store according to “visit date, visit day, visit time”. And based on the point setting of the said store, the privilege content by the calculated flow point is determined.

  And in step 124, the privilege content by the fixed point set with respect to the electronic coupon of calculation object or the store of an electronic point is acquired, The privilege content by the flow point calculated in the said step 122, and the acquired fixed point The privilege content is added together, the privilege content of the electronic coupon or electronic point to be calculated is calculated, and the privilege content calculation processing routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 120 that the point system of the electronic coupon or electronic point store to be calculated is a fixed point, the electronic coupon or electronic point store to be calculated is determined in step 126. The privilege content by the fixed point set in the above is acquired, and the privilege content calculation processing routine is terminated using the acquired privilege content of the fixed point as the electronic coupon or the privilege content of the electronic point to be calculated.

  When the point management server 16 receives the usage record information from the store-side terminal 18, the point management server 16 executes a service point calculation processing routine shown in FIG.

  First, in step 130, service points given to the point user and the point allocator are calculated. Specifically, the user ID of the point user of the electronic point or electronic coupon corresponding to the received usage record information and the user ID of the electronic point or the point arranger of electronic coupon corresponding to the received usage record information are acquired. To do.

  And the past use frequency in the store corresponding to the user ID of the point user is acquired from the user storage unit 62, the home location information is acquired from the browsing request corresponding to the usage record information, and The past number of times of use at the store and the word-of-mouth content for the store corresponding to the user ID of the point user are acquired. Moreover, the location information included in the browsing request corresponding to the usage record information and the store location information given to the electronic coupon or the electronic point corresponding to the usage record information are acquired.

  Then, information about the user who uses the points {the number of past use at the store, the distance from the home, the distance from the current location}, the information about the user who placed the point {the number of uses of the store, the word of mouth}, and " Service points are calculated based on the point magnification set in accordance with “visit date, visit day, visit time”.

  In step 132, the contents of the point storage unit 66 are updated so that the service point calculated in step 130 is added to the user ID of the point user and the user ID of the point allocator. The point calculation processing routine is terminated.

  Further, when the point management server 16 receives a group update request including group information and user ID to be registered as a member from the arrangement-side user terminal 12 or the use-side user terminal 14, the point management server 16 shows in FIG. A group update processing routine is executed.

  First, in step 140, a group representative corresponding to the group information included in the group update request is acquired, and the user ID of the user who wants to register as a member with respect to the arrangement-side user terminal 12 or the user-side user terminal 14 of the group representative. And a registration approval request including the user name, and waits until a response to the transmitted registration approval request is received. If a response to the transmitted registration approval request is received, it is determined in step 142 whether the group representative has approved. If the group representative approves, in step 144, the contents of the user storage unit 62 and the group storage unit 64 are added so as to add the user ID of the user who wants to register as a member of the group information included in the registration request. Update.

  In the next step 146, a member addition notification indicating that a member has been added is transmitted to the arrangement-side user terminal 12 or the user-side user terminal 14 of each member of the group information included in the group update request, and each member The contents of the group storage units 34 and 46 of the arrangement-side user terminal 12 or the user-side user terminal 14 are updated, and the group update processing routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the group representative does not approve in step 142, a non-approval notice is transmitted to the arrangement-side user terminal 12 or the user-side user terminal 14 that transmitted the group update request, and the group update process End the routine.

  As described above, according to the point management system according to the embodiment of the present invention, an electronic point or an electronic coupon provided with location information of an available store received from an arrangement-side user terminal can be used. An electronic point or electronic coupon associated with a group including user information of the user terminal on the use side user terminal that has been stored in the point storage unit in association with the point management server and has transmitted a browsing request by the point management server By transmitting this list, it is possible to share electronic points or electronic coupons within the group to which the user belongs.

  In addition, in the conventional technology, the store has not been able to fully utilize the network and location that the user owns, but by allowing users to share electronic points and electronic coupons in groups, users can introduce groups and share groups. Because of the configuration, the store can acquire new customers by utilizing the network of the user himself / herself. Moreover, since the expiration date of an electronic point is updated more frequently than a personal use by using in a group, points and coupons that have expired in the past are also used, and the repeat rate increases.

  In addition, since service points are also returned to those who place electronic points, the quality of location is improved, the use of each other within the group is promoted, and the use frequency of electronic points and electronic coupons is improved. Increase customer and repeat rates.

  In addition, since all the members of the group can use the electronic points and electronic coupons, not only the person who acquired the electronic points and electronic coupons, the number of available electronic points and electronic coupons is increased, which increases convenience.

  In addition, the user of the electronic point not only receives a discount at the store, but also the service point is returned to the person who arranges the electronic point, so that the user can receive the point without visiting the store. Even if service points are not returned, since the members in the group use the points to help improve human relations, the use motivation of the system is improved and the utilization rate of the system is improved.

  In addition, since the disclosure range can be limited according to the contents of electronic points or electronic coupons such as family members and friends, privacy information can be controlled by the user himself, and privacy problems can be avoided. For example, since a group can be arbitrarily set according to the user's wishes, it is possible to control information according to the group, such as information disclosed only to family members, information used publicly for friend group A, and information disclosed to friend group B. Furthermore, since an electronic point and an electronic coupon are shared between the limited group of members, the user can use an electronic point and an electronic coupon in comfort. Not a recommendation from an unspecified number of people but a store recommended by limited members such as family members and friends leads to new customers and an increase in the repeat rate.

  In addition, personal privacy such as store visit history is protected, and users can use points with confidence without fear of false information or spam.

  Moreover, since the point user browses the evaluation information by the members of the group, only highly reliable information can be browsed.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the arrangement-side user terminal and the use-side user terminal are configured as separate terminals has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the user is the same user, the arrangement-side user terminal and the use-side user terminal may be configured by one terminal.

  Moreover, although the case where a service point was provided with respect to each of a point arrangement person and a point user was demonstrated to the example, it is not limited to this, You may provide a service coupon.

  Moreover, although the case where a user terminal is a smart phone was demonstrated to the example, it is not limited to this, You may utilize the screen of a car navigation or another vehicle equipment. When the car navigation screen is used, the destination may be set to the store selected by the user from the screen as shown in FIG.

  In addition, the point management server may recommend a store that matches the user's preference from the past visit history of the user. This increases the advertising effectiveness for the store and leads to the acquisition of new customers.
