Description

  The present invention relates to a point management server and a point management system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a point management server and a point management system that are easy to use for point users and easily connect with profits of member stores and management entities.

  In retail stores, service providers, etc., in order to continuously acquire customers, there are increasing cases of using a so-called point service that gives points according to the amount of payment. Consumers can receive goods and discounts according to points, and increase their willingness to purchase.

  Point services range from those implemented at a single store to formats that introduce common points among a plurality of businesses. In particular, in the form of a plurality of business operators, for example, personal information such as name and address is obtained from a consumer and registered, and a magnetic card is issued as a point recording medium.

  When the consumer purchases a product, the consumer can record points on the magnetic card and receive a privilege according to the number of points accumulated. There is also a system for storing personal information and points in a portable terminal using an IC chip of the portable terminal.

  In addition, the point system has an aspect of becoming an efficient information collection tool in collecting and analyzing personal data related to consumer purchase information. Information such as consumer purchases can be obtained at the same time when points are given, and stores that use the system can easily obtain information that can be used for marketing.

  On the other hand, in the market, there are a plurality of point systems, and different points are assigned to each system, so that there is a current situation where it is impossible for customers to efficiently acquire points. In addition, in order to receive a new point service, there is a trouble of initial registration such as entry of personal information each time.

  Under such circumstances, there is a point management system that attempts to uniformly manage points given to consumers from a plurality of businesses. For example, a point management system described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

  Here, the point management system described in Patent Document 1 includes a contactless terminal device provided in each store so as to be able to communicate with an IC chip for a mobile phone having an IC chip, and a point management server. ing.

  The mobile phone stores the identifier in the IC chip in advance. The non-contact type terminal device transmits the identifier acquired from the IC chip and the point update information given to the member carrying the mobile phone to the point management server.

  When the member registration process is performed, an identifier unique to the IC chip of the mobile phone is set. Also, member information such as identifiers, names, and e-mail addresses is recorded on the database, and consumers are registered as members.

  The point management server acquires the member information from the member information set in advance including the point information given to the member and the mobile phone identifier, and updates the point information of the member information based on the point update information. The point information generated at each store is managed as the member's points.

JP 2008-299810 A

  However, in the point management system described in Patent Document 1, when a consumer starts using the system, personal information such as name, address, and email address is collected for point management in order to identify an individual. It is necessary to register to associate the identifier used.

  For example, there are cases where consumers do not want to disclose their personal information depending on the type of business of the member store that has introduced the point system. Even in such a case, personal information is collected and the anonymity of the consumer cannot be guaranteed.

  Further, it is necessary for the system provider side to set a unique identifier for the IC chip at the registration stage, which causes trouble.

  Further, in a point management system using a magnetic card as a recording medium, there may be a so-called skimming problem in which the magnetic recording information on the card is illegally read to create a copy. Due to skimming, personal information may be leaked without the card user noticing.

  In addition, when a new point system is registered, the number of cards owned by the consumer increases, resulting in complications.

  Furthermore, in the existing system, the business type of the member store is limited to a certain type according to the rules of the business operator who operates the system, and it is difficult to use a wide range of points.

  In other words, it can be said that the consumer or the store who wants to use the point system is not a system that can fully benefit from it.

  In addition, in the point system in which a plurality of companies belong, it is considered that further utility value can be found in terms of collecting and utilizing personal data related to consumer purchase information.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and is intended to provide a point management server and a point management system that are easy to use for point users and that are easy to lead to profits of member stores and operation entities. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the point management server of the present invention includes a unique identifier that records unique identifier information of an IC chip used for near-field wireless communication and point information associated with the unique identifier information. The information recording unit, the point granting information relating to the granting of points with respect to the unique identifier information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit, and the point consumption information relating to point consumption are received and recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit A point information update unit that updates point information.

  Here, the individual identifier of the IC chip used for near-field wireless communication and the point information associated with the unique identifier information can be used for individual consumers without registering personal information such as the consumer's name. And management of the points held by the consumer. That is, the unique identifier information of the IC chip becomes information for specifying the consumer. The unique identifier information of the IC chip means a manufacturing number recorded in the IC chip so as not to be rewritable. For example, it means a card unique number in a non-contact type IC card.

  In this case, for example, an existing traffic IC card can be used for the point management system. By using the unique number of the IC chip of the traffic IC card as information for identifying the consumer, the use of points can be started without using personal information other than the unique number. In addition, those using an IC chip such as a portable terminal can also be used as a point recording medium.

  Further, the unique identifier information and the point information associated therewith can be recorded in the server by the unique identifier information recording unit that records the unique identifier information and the point information associated with the unique identifier information.

  In addition, the point information update unit that receives point grant information related to the grant of points for the unique identifier information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit and updates the point information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit at a store or the like When a consumer purchases a product and is given points, the point information linked to the unique identifier information can be updated.

  In addition, the point information update unit that receives point consumption information related to the consumption of points for the unique identifier information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit and updates the point information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit at a store or the like When the consumer consumes points and receives a privilege such as a discount, the point information associated with the unique identifier information can be updated.

  In addition, when the point management server includes a store information recording unit that records store information related to a store where points can be used, the store information in which the point management system is introduced can be managed by the server.

  In addition, when the point management server includes a store information related to stores that can use points and a store information recording unit that records fee information related to the granting and consumption of points linked to the store information, the consumer and the store side It is possible to manage fee information generated when exchanging points with the server. The fee here means money generated between an individual store introducing the point management system and an entity that manages each store as a member store.

  In addition, the point management server includes a fee processing unit that records payment fee information corresponding to the granted point in the store information recording unit when receiving the point grant information when the point information update unit updates the point information. In this case, it is possible to record the fee information paid to the business entity from the store side when the points are given in association with the store information.

  In addition, the point management server includes a fee processing unit that records return fee information corresponding to the consumed points in the store information recording unit when receiving point consumption information when the point information updating unit updates the point information. In this case, information on a return fee returned from the business entity to the store when points are consumed can be recorded in association with the store information.

  In addition, when the unique identifier information recording unit records store use information related to a store where points are given or consumed, the store information used by the consumer may be recorded in association with the unique identifier information. it can. That is, it is possible to record history information related to consumer points.

  In addition, for a specific store where points are given or consumed, store history that records pre-store store history information related to stores where points were given or consumed before a specific store within a predetermined condition range When the information recording unit is provided, it is possible to record the behavior pattern information before the consumer visits based on a specific store. Note that, within the predetermined condition range, for example, conditions such as date, time, geographical range where the store is located, etc. can be adopted.

  In addition, for a specific store where points are given or consumed, store history information that records post-store store history information related to the store where points were given or consumed within a predetermined condition range When the recording unit is provided, it is possible to record the behavior pattern information after the consumer visits based on a specific store.

  Further, when the store history information recording unit records the store types classified by the predetermined items for the store history information before the store visit and the store history information after the store visit, before the store visits the specific store or Information on behavior patterns after coming to the store will be easy to analyze. For example, by classifying and recording stores, such as coffee shops, pubs, restaurants, etc., it becomes easier to understand the content of information regarding the flow of consumers before or after visiting the store, making it easier for the store side to use the information .

  Further, when the unique identifier information recording unit records the initial store information regarding the first store where the unique identifier information has been initially registered, it is possible to associate the initially registered store information with the unique identifier information. .

  In addition, when the fee processing unit receives the point grant information when the point information update unit receives the store, the store corresponding to the initial store information is not the store of the initial store information corresponding to the unique identifier information. When the profit point information corresponding to the points given to the store information recording unit is recorded, it is possible to efficiently generate profits in the initial store. That is, when a consumer purchases a product or the like at a store other than the store where the initial registration is performed and earns points, the points corresponding to the earned points are sent to the initial store as profit points. The initial registration here means a procedure when a unique identifier is recorded in the point management server.

  When the point consumption information includes donation information related to donation of points to a predetermined donation destination, the consumer can perform a donation activity through point consumption. As a result, it is possible to improve the participation awareness of consumers and contribute to social contribution. It is also possible to increase the awareness of the point management system and increase the number of consumers and shop users.

  Further, the unique identifier information is recorded together with information on a specific donation destination organization and donation ratio, and the point information update unit receives point grant information related to the grant of points for the unique identifier information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit. In the case where the point information recorded in the unique identifier information recording unit is updated based on the information on the specific donation organization and the donation ratio, continuous donation to the specific donation organization can be realized. That is, the donation destination and donation rate when making donations as point consumption are recorded on the server together with the unique identifier information, so that when the point is given to the consumer, the donation rate automatically set Donations will be made by points to temporary donation organizations.

  In addition, the store information recording unit records the grant point history information related to the points granted at the store and the donation history information related to the donation of points from the store to a predetermined donation destination, and the contents of the grant point history information or the donation history information. When ordering stores according to the order, it is possible to rank stores that reflect the points given to consumers and points donated through stores for multiple stores where points can be used. It becomes.

  In addition, in the case of including a store rank signal transmission unit that emits a signal for updating information of electronic computing devices that can be browsed from the outside according to the result of the ranking of the store, for example, the rank of the store and the store Information can be transmitted. As a result, it is possible not only to transmit information on stores that can use points, but also to display store information according to the rank of the stores on the homepage of the signal transmission destination. Note that the information on electronic computing devices that can be browsed from the outside here includes a home page that summarizes all stores where points can be used, and a home page established by an organization to which points are donated. Note that the updating of information on the electronic computing device that can be browsed from outside here means, for example, an operation of updating information on a target homepage via a browser.

  In addition, when the store information recording unit updates the ranking of stores as needed, and the store rank signal transmission unit emits a signal as needed along with the update of the store information recording unit, an external that immediately reflects the status of the current point It is possible to display store rankings and store information on the homepage.

  In addition, when the store information recording unit records donation destination combination information related to a combination with a specific donation destination group and the store rank signal transmission unit emits a signal based on the donation destination combination information, the specific donation destination group It is possible to display information only on stores associated with the group on the homepage established by. In other words, not all stores where points can be used are displayed, but ranking and store information are displayed only for stores associated with a specific donation organization, for example, stores that are positioned as support stores, etc. It becomes possible to make it.

  In addition, the store information recording department records the store name, business format, address, telephone number and information on donation of points to a specific donation organization, and the name, number, Based on information recorded in the Donation Personnel Information Recording Department that records information on date of birth, height, weight, birthplace, career, hobbies and preferences, and information recorded in the Store Information and Donation Personnel Information Recording Department In the case of including a donation candidate personnel extraction unit that extracts a combination of a store and personnel, it is possible to more smoothly contribute by points. In other words, for example, when introducing a system in which donations by points are donated not only to a specific recipient organization but also to individual employees belonging to that organization, predetermined conditions based on store information and individual information Individuals recommended by the store below can be extracted as donations.

  More specifically, for example, when the donation destination group is a professional sports team, the donation destination is a player belonging to the donation destination group. At that time, in the store where the donation is performed by the consumer, the store can not only present the organization and the affiliated player as the donation destination, but can also focus on the affiliated player recommended by the store. Matching between stores and players is based on the commonality of store names and player names, the commonality between products handled by stores and favorite foods of players, players with little past record of donations due to points from the store, etc. This can be done by setting the conditions for extraction.

  In order to achieve the above object, the point management system of the present invention can read the unique identifier information of the IC chip used for near-field wireless communication and can read the unique identifier information.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings to facilitate understanding of the present invention.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the configuration of a point management system to which the present invention is applied.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a point management system 1 to which the present invention is applied includes a management server 2, a traffic IC card 3 owned by a consumer, and a store terminal 4 installed in a store which is a member store. Yes. The management server 2 and the store terminal 4 are connected via the Internet 5.

  In the point management system 1, an existing transportation IC card 3 used by a consumer can be used as a point recording medium. In the transportation IC card 3, the serial number information 6 is recorded on the built-in IC chip.

  The production number information 6 is recorded so as not to be rewritten independently of the area in which information such as electronic money of the transportation IC card 3 is recorded. In addition, since various traffic IC cards 3 spread throughout the country are given consecutive numbers, the serial number information 6 can be used as information for identifying consumers without duplication of numbers. .

  The store terminal 4 is a terminal installed in a store visited by consumers. As the store terminal 4, a tablet terminal equipped with an NFC (Near Field Communication) function 9 that is near-field wireless communication can be used.

  The NFC function 9 enables reading of the production number information 6 of the traffic IC card 3. In addition, dedicated application software that activates the NFC function 9 is downloaded to the tablet terminal.

  The store terminal 4 includes a grant point information transmission unit 7 that transmits information on the grant points given according to the purchase amount to the management server 2 together with the production number information 6 when the consumer purchases the product.

  Further, the store terminal 4 consumes the points accumulated by the consumer and transmits information on consumption points consumed when receiving various benefits such as discounts to the management server 2 together with the production number information 6. Part 8.

  Here, the traffic IC card 3 is not necessarily adopted as the point recording medium. Any medium containing an IC chip having serial number information recorded so as not to be rewritable can be used. For example, a portable terminal incorporating an IC chip can be adopted.

  Further, when an IC card is used as a recording medium, the type of the IC card is not limited as long as it has production number information recorded so as not to be rewritable. Standards can be adopted.

  Further, it is not always necessary to use a tablet terminal as the store terminal 4, and it is sufficient if the configuration number information of the IC chip can be read. For example, a smartphone can be used.

  The management server 2 has a store information recording database 10 in which information on stores where the store terminals 4 are installed is recorded. The store information recording database 10 records detailed information about the store, such as the store name, location, consumer point use history in the store, consumer point use date and time.

  The store information recording database 10 records fee information 15 associated with point grants and consumption at stores. The fee referred to here is exchanged between a store of a member store and an operating entity that manages a plurality of member store stores. The detailed mechanism of the fee will be described later.

  The management server 2 also has a user information database 11. In the user information database 11, production number information 6 of the traffic IC card 3 owned by the consumer is recorded.

  In the user information database 11, point information 12 held by the consumer is recorded in association with the production number information 6. The user information database 11 also stores personal information 16 that can be optionally registered by the consumer. The consumer in which the personal information 16 is recorded can use the customer my page described later.

  In addition, in the user information database 11, initial store information 17, which is a store that is initially registered by the consumer, is recorded in association with the production number information 6. Further, point history information 18 relating to the acquisition and consumption of the consumer's points is recorded in association with the production number information 6.

  Here, the initial store information 17 is not necessarily recorded in the user information database 11. However, it is preferable that the initial store information 17 is recorded in the user information database 11 because the store where the initial registration has been made becomes easy to increase the profit by kickback revenue described later.

  The management server 2 includes a point information processing unit 13 that receives grant point information and consumption point information transmitted from the store terminal 4 together with the production number information 6. In the point information processing unit 13, the content of the point information 12 recorded in the user information database 11 is updated according to the reception information including the production number information 6.

  The management server 2 also has a fee processing unit 14. The fee processing unit 14 is linked to the store information recording database 10 and the point information processing unit 13. When the point information processing unit 13 updates the content of the point information 12, the fee information 15 of the store involved in the grant or consumption of points is recorded for the fee related to the update.

  The fee processing unit 14 is linked to the store information recording database 10, the user information database 11, and the point information processing unit 13. When the point information processing unit 13 receives the consumer's point grant information, it is determined whether the store terminal 4 that has transmitted the point grant information corresponds to the store recorded as the initial store information 17 of the consumer, If the initial store does not fall, the contents are recorded in the commission information 15 of the initial store as the revenue that is given to the initial store the revenue points corresponding to the points given.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the management server 2 has a store history information database 19. The store history information database 19 is linked to the point history information 18 of the user information database 11, and records the route used by the consumer's transportation IC card 3 at the store terminal 4.

  The recorded route is a history route of a store of a member store used by a consumer, and information on stores classified according to business category set in the store condition setting unit 20 of the management server 2. It has become. Newly joined stores are classified into categories set by the store condition setting unit 20.

  The store condition setting unit 20 classifies by category according to the type of member store that has introduced the point management system 1. This category can be set as necessary, for example, a coffee shop, a tavern, a supermarket, a restaurant, a snack, a club, and the like.

  Thereby, in the history path of the store, the store where the consumer stopped is handled in the set category. In addition, it is possible to handle as an individual store without using the category classification and to determine the history route.

  In addition, the store condition setting unit 20 can set conditions for classifying the history route of the consumer's store. Specifically, the history route of a store can be divided under various conditions such as a range based on time such as date and time, a geographical range within a specific area, and the like.

  It is also possible to determine the history route of the consumer's store based on the specific store. Specifically, it is possible to determine a history of what category of store a consumer who has visited a specific store and gave or consumed points came to before visiting the specific store. In addition, it is possible to determine a history of what category the store has flowed after visiting a specific store.

  In addition, it is possible to change the number of fronts or backs from the specific store depending on the contents of the condition setting.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the point management system 1 has a donation terminal 21. The donation terminal 21 is a terminal installed at a station, public facility, or the like, and is a terminal used when the points accumulated by consumers are used as donations.

  The donation terminal 21 is connected to the management server 2 via the Internet 5. The donation terminal 21 has an NFC function 9 as with the store terminal 4 and can read the production number information 6 of the transportation IC card 3.

  The donation terminal 21 can select donation as a method of point consumption on the terminal after reading the traffic IC card 3. In this donation, the points accumulated by consumers are consumed by the organizations, facilities, plans, etc., which are listed as the donation destination of the point management system 1, and the points can be converted into money or goods for donation.

  Information that the consumer selects donation at the donation terminal 21 and determines the donation destination is transmitted to the management server 2, and the point information processing unit 13 performs processing. The consumer's point information 12 is updated, and a donation or the like corresponding to the consumed point is sent.

  Here, the point management system 1 does not necessarily have a donation terminal. However, it is preferable that the point management system 1 has a donation terminal because it can contribute to social contribution and the degree of recognition of the system is easily improved.

  Further, it is not always necessary to select a donation destination on the donation terminal 21. For example, an item for selecting the donation destination may be provided on the server by accessing the management server 2 from the donation terminal 21.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the management server 2 has a management page 38. The management page 38 can record and browse various information such as points, member stores, installed terminals, registered consumers, fee management, etc. for each item. use. Further, if necessary, IDs, passwords, and the like can be issued to member store stores and management companies so that access can be made within a permitted range.

  Hereinafter, the flow of use of the point management system 1 having the configuration described above will be described. In addition, application of this invention is not limited to the content of the flow of use shown below, It can change suitably.

  First, the flow of registration in the consumer point management system will be described.

  The consumer can perform initial registration for giving and using points at a store that has joined the point management system 1. Reading is performed by the NFC function 9 by holding the own transportation IC card 3 over the store terminal 4 installed in the store.

  The serial number information 6 attached to the read traffic system IC card 3 is transmitted from the store terminal 4 to the management server 2, and the information is recorded in the user information database 11 of the management server 2. Thereby, the serial number information 6 is registered as information for specifying the consumer. This is the initial registration.

  That is, the consumer can start using the point management system 1 only by holding the transportation IC card 3 over the store terminal.

  In addition, when the consumer's serial number information 6 is recorded in the user information database 11, information on the store that has been initially registered is also recorded in the user information database 11. As a result, the consumer's serial number information 6 is associated with the store where the initial registration is made.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a traffic IC card 3 incorporating an IC chip is currently used in various parts of the country, and all of them have production number information 6. Therefore, the consumer can perform registration to the management server 2 and subsequent use only by presenting a card that can be used in the area where the user resides.

  The penetration rate of the transportation IC card 3 is high, and the number of owners is increasing. Therefore, a considerable number of potential new registrants to the point management system 1 can be expected, and the member store side can increase opportunities for acquiring customers attracted by points. Moreover, since the point of the point management system 1 is a common point throughout the country, it can be used not only in a normal life range but also in a travel destination or a business trip destination, and the points can be efficiently acquired.

  Next, point grant or consumption will be described.

  When a consumer purchases a product or the like at a member store, the consumer can earn points according to the purchase price. For example, it can be set as a mechanism in which 1 point is given for a purchase amount of 100 yen.

  When a consumer purchases a product at a store of a member store, the transportation IC card 3 is held over the store terminal 4 and the production number information 6 is transmitted to the management server 2 together with the purchase price information. In the management server 2, the point information processing unit 13 receives the information and updates the content of the point information 12 of the corresponding production number information 6 recorded in the user information database 11. That is, points corresponding to the purchase amount are added.

  Further, the consumer can use the accumulated points at the member store and receive various privileges set by the member store. The member store can be set with respect to the content of the privilege and the number of points necessary for it, and the set privilege content is recorded in the store information recording database 10 of the management server 2.

  As a method for consuming points, a method using a store terminal or a method using a consumer's own portable terminal can be adopted.

  First, in the method of using a store terminal, the consumer holds the transportation IC card 3 over the store terminal 4 and selects a privilege provided by the store on the store terminal 4. Along with this, the serial number information 6 is transmitted from the store terminal 4 to the management server 2 together with the information on the selected benefit content. In the management server 2, the point information processing unit 13 receives the information, compares it with the privilege content recorded in the store information recording database 10, and stores the point information 12 of the corresponding production number information 6 recorded in the user information database 11. The content is updated. Further, the contents of the point history information 18 are also updated.

  In the store, the store clerk confirms a series of operations of the consumer and provides the consumer with a privilege according to the points consumed. In addition, in this structure, it can also be set as the mechanism which connects the shop terminal 4 with a printer and issues the coupon etc. which described the privilege content. Further, the store information recording database 10 records information related to consumer point consumption.

  In addition, points can be consumed using a consumer's mobile terminal. In addition, when performing this method, it is necessary to issue an ID associated with the production number information 6 of the transportation IC card 3 owned by the consumer from the store side. The ID is recorded in the user information database 11 of the management server 2.

  The consumer accesses the management server 2 from his / her portable terminal, selects the point use item, and inputs the ID. Thereby, the privilege which consumes the point of a store becomes selectable. At this time, the consumer shows an operation of selecting a privilege to be received in front of the store clerk who uses the points. As a result, the consumer point information 12 is updated on the management server 2. Further, the contents of the point history information 18 in the user information database 11 are also updated.

  Further, the point consumption by the consumer's mobile terminal can be notified to the store side as point use information at a later date together with the point use date and the content of the provided privilege.

Next, a fee associated with the granting or consumption of points will be described.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the flow of fees.

  As described above, in the point management system 1, a fee is exchanged between a store serving as a member store and an operating entity that manages a plurality of member store stores. As shown in FIG. 3, it is assumed at Step 1 that the consumer 22 first purchases a product for 10,000 yen in cash at the member store 23. In addition, 1 point is awarded per 100 yen. Then, in step 2, 100 points corresponding to the purchase of the member store 23 are given to the consumer 22.

  At this time, 200 yen is paid from the member store 23 to the business entity 24 as a point issue fee. 100 yen out of 200 yen is collected as profit of the business entity 24. Step 4 indicates that the consumer 22 has consumed points at another member store 25 and purchased a product with the privilege. In Step 5, the member store 25 returns the amount equivalent to the points consumed from the business entity 24 according to the points consumed by the consumer 22. In Step 6, the consumer 22 can acquire points according to the purchase amount.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the business entity 24 can obtain a profit corresponding to the point issuance in that the member store issues the point and gives it to the consumer 22. In addition, the member store can have the amount corresponding to the consumption point returned as the consumer 22 has consumed the point.

  3 is processed by the fee processing unit 14 of the management server 2 in conjunction with the store information recording database 10, the user information database 11, and the point information processing unit 13. Yes. Note that the fee mechanism shown here is merely an example, and the fee flow according to the present invention is not limited to this.

Furthermore, the profit which the member store store which was initially registered is obtained is demonstrated.
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the contents of kickback revenue. The figure at the time of registration (a), the diagram at the time of product purchase (b), the diagram at the time of point grant (c), and the state where the kickback revenue has occurred. It is a figure (d) shown.

  As described above, when the consumer performs initial registration of the transportation IC card 3, the store information is recorded in the user information database 11 and associated with the production number information 6. The store where the initial registration is made is referred to as an initial store A store 26.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the consumer 22 reads the traffic IC card 3 at the store terminal 4 and performs initial registration in the management server 2 as described above. At this time, the point A where the initial registration is performed is associated with the serial number 6 of the transportation IC card 3 on the management server 2 as the initial registration A store 26.

  As shown in FIG. 4B, the consumer 22 uses the store terminal 4 of the B member store 27 to purchase a product. Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), points corresponding to the amount of goods purchased at the B member store 27 are given to the transportation IC card 3 of the consumer 22.

  Here, since the transportation IC card 3 of the consumer 22 is linked to the initial store A store 26, a kickback profit 28 to the initial store A store 26 is generated. As shown in FIG. 4 (d), the profit corresponding to the points obtained by the consumer 22 in purchasing the product at the B member store 27 can be obtained. The kickback revenue 28 can be set, for example, as 10% of newly granted points.

  In this way, the store where the consumer has made initial registration at the start of use of the point management system 1 generates kickback revenue, and profits can be obtained as a member store. Moreover, this mechanism leads to an activity in which the member store attempts to increase the number of new participants in the point management system, and the system can be activated.

Next, the consumer tracking function and the accompanying marketing research information will be described.
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating the consumer tracking function. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing information on the migratory behavior of consumers after a specific store.

  As described above, the management server 2 includes the store history information database 19 and the store condition setting unit 20. These can be used for information collection and analysis of a history route using a traffic IC card 3 by a consumer.

  As shown in FIG. 5, information on the location where the consumer uses the transportation IC card 3 is recorded in the management server 2.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the history information 29 regarding the card usage of the consumer is recorded on the management server 2 together with the date and time information. For example, when a consumer uses the transportation IC card 3 at a store A, a store B and a store C, recording is performed in that order.

  By dividing the information accumulated as the history information 29 according to the conditions set by the store condition setting unit 20, marketing information that can be used by member stores can be obtained. For example, based on a specific store, it becomes possible to analyze the consumer's migratory behavior after coming to the store, where the consumer who visited the store and used the card went to.

  In the upper diagram of FIG. 6, the store to be used as a reference is the own store 30, and the percentage of consumers for each store visited by the consumer thereafter is shown. The lower part of FIG. 6 shows the outline. For example, it is assumed that after the customer 30 visits, the consumer goes to the member store A store 31, the member store B store 32, and the member store C store 33 and uses the card. The usage history is recorded in the management server 2 as history information.

  Further, after the member store B store 32 where the ratio of the consumers who visited the store 30 is the most frequent, the member store D store 34, the member store E store 35, and the member store F store 36 have consumers. Suppose you go and use a card. Furthermore, the excursion behavior of the consumer is recorded in the management server 2 in such a manner as the member store G store 37 which is the store next to the member store E point 35 therein.

  By recording such history information, the number of consumers who have come to the store 30 is 100%, and the percentage of consumers who have visited subsequent member stores can be calculated. In addition, as described above, the member store A store and the store B can set a category for each type of business and classify information into the category to determine information. For example, the store A can analyze the record in correspondence with the category, such as a tavern. Furthermore, it is also possible to determine information with point A as an individual store.

  By obtaining such history information of migratory behavior, it becomes possible to provide information relating to marketing that is beneficial to member stores. That is, it can be used as reference information for arranging products and services required by consumers visiting the store 30.

  Moreover, although the example mentioned above was the information regarding the consumer's behavior after visiting the store, the same analysis can also be adopted for the behavior before visiting a specific store. That is, based on the history information of consumers on the upstream side of a specific store, it is possible to obtain information regarding an action pattern such as what kind of store is visited and then the specific store is used.

  Further, the range for extracting the history information can be appropriately set as necessary. For example, not only the time range and the range setting based on the geographical range, but also how many stores to view the information can be determined by changing the condition setting.

  Next, the customer my page function will be described.

  As already described, the point management system 1 does not require the registration of the consumer's personal information, but if necessary, the function can be obtained by further registering the personal information in the management server 2. It can be enriched.

  For example, it is possible to obtain more detailed consumer information by registering a name, address, e-mail address, and the like in the user information database 11 of the management server 2.

  In addition, a customer My Page can be provided in the management server 2 so that the consumer can grasp information such as points that the consumer has. A plurality of registration and browsing methods for using the customer My Page are conceivable.

  First, there is a method in which a consumer connects a non-contact type IC card reader to his / her PC terminal and registers personal information and uses a customer My Page. Here, application software for reading the production number information of the traffic IC card is downloaded to the PC terminal.

  The transportation IC card 3 is held over a card reader connected to the PC terminal, and the displayed production number information 6 is recorded. In addition, the management server 2 is accessed, and the management server 2 selects “Access from manufacturing number information”, and inputs the manufacturing number information and password in the designated items. Here, the password can be set so as to input the telephone number of the portable terminal.

  After entering the serial number information 6 and the password, the personal information registration screen is displayed. Therefore, various personal information such as name, address, and e-mail address is input, and the personal information is registered in the management server 2. Thereafter, the customer My Page can be browsed, and the point information 12 recorded in the user information database 11 can be browsed. Further, confirmation of subsequent points and the like can be confirmed if there is serial number information and a password.

  A method of issuing an ID for viewing a customer my page to a consumer at a store of a member store can also be adopted. In this method, the store terminal 4 selects ID issuance and reads the consumer's transportation system ID card 3. When the management server 2 recognizes the production number information 6 of the traffic ID card 3, the ID associated with the number is issued and displayed on the store terminal 4.

  The consumer who obtained the ID accesses the management server 2 from the store terminal 4 or his / her own PC terminal, and selects “Access from store issue ID”. Then, the ID and password are entered in the designated items. Here, the password can be set so as to input the telephone number of the portable terminal. Further, browsing of the customer My Page from the subsequent flow of personal information input is the same as the method described above. Further, confirmation of subsequent points or the like can be confirmed if there is an ID and a password.

  In addition, the ID and password for using the above-mentioned customer My Page can be transmitted from the management server 2 or the store terminal 4 to notify the consumer if the consumer's mail address information is acquired. .

  On the customer My Page, in addition to the point information 12 owned, it is possible to display a point usage history, coupon information obtained as a privilege from the store, and the like. In addition, the store where the initial registration at the start of use of the point management system 1 was performed, the display of the member rank set according to the accumulation of points, and the like can also be adopted.

  The configuration that can be adopted in the point management system will be further described.

  In the point management system, a stamp rally format method can be adopted as a mechanism for giving points to consumers. In this method, for example, a point for a stamp rally is awarded by going to a predetermined member store and using a transportation IC card. Benefits will be provided once you have visited all stores.

  In such a stamp rally format, consumers are encouraged to visit stores that are not normally used, and member stores can increase opportunities to acquire customers. In addition, the consumer can enjoy the event elements, and the privilege corresponding to the event element can be obtained, leading to satisfaction.

  In the point management system, the member rank can also be set according to the number of points earned by consumers, the number of service usage at stores, and the like. For example, it is classified into gold, silver, and bronze ranks according to consumer usage. Moreover, you may set the number of points according to a member rank, privilege content, etc. Further, the rank is displayed on the store terminal when the traffic IC card is used. The member rank can also be displayed on the customer my page.

  By introducing the member rank, the member store can confirm the displayed rank and can easily grasp a good customer. In addition, the consumer can confirm his / her rank, and can increase the willingness to purchase in order to obtain further benefits.

  Furthermore, in the point management system, coupon tickets that can be used in stores can be used by being associated with the production number information of the transportation IC card. It is possible to make the system capable of holding and consuming coupon tickets on the data by reading the transportation system card at the store terminal and selecting the use of coupon tickets.

  Next, a further donation function using the point management system 1 will be described.

  In addition to installing the donation terminal 21 described above, the store terminal 4 can be provided with a function for selecting donation as a method of point consumption. As mentioned above, this donation can be done by consuming points accumulated by consumers to the organizations, facilities, projects, etc. listed as donation destinations of the point management system 1 and converting the points into money or goods. It has become.

  Information that the consumer selects donation at the store terminal 4 and determines the donation destination is transmitted to the management server 2, and the point information processing unit 13 performs processing. The consumer's point information 12 is updated, and a donation or the like corresponding to the consumed point is sent.

  In addition, the point management system 1 can employ a person who belongs to the organization as a point donation destination. For example, if the donation organization is a professional sports team, the players and managers belonging to the team are also donations.

  Further, the management server 2 records information on the personnel belonging to it along with information on the donation recipient organization. If the donation organization is a professional sports team and the member is an athlete, the name, position, number, date of birth, height, weight, birthplace, career, hobby, favorite food information, etc. Personal information about the player is recorded.

  In the store information record database 10, information on stores and points is recorded. For example, the number of points given to the consumer at the store, the number of points donated from the store terminal of the store, the number of coupons exchanged for points, and the like are recorded.

  In the store information recording database 10, information related to stores is recorded. For example, information for each store such as a name, store business type, handling product, address, telephone number, etc. is recorded. In addition, the store information record database 10 records combinations with specific donation organizations. That is, the store becomes a support store that supports a specific donation destination group, and the connection with the donation destination group can be strengthened.

  Further, the store information recording database 10 ranks stores based on the number of points given to consumers at the store or the number of points donated from the store terminal of the store. For a plurality of stores, the ranking of the stores is given in the order in which the total number of granted points is large or the number of points consumed as donations is large. Further, not only can the number of points be reflected in the ranking, but the total of the number of points awarded and the number of points consumed as donations can be reflected, for example.

  The management server 2 has a rank signal transmission unit for displaying the rank of the store that varies depending on the number of points and information related to the store on an external homepage. On the homepage where the signal is transmitted from the rank signal transmission unit, the display of the store information is changed according to the rank of the store.

  The homepage here is an example of a homepage dedicated to the system in which all stores where the point management system 1 is introduced are collected. For the homepage dedicated to the system, a mode in which information on each store is displayed or a mode in which a link of an individual store homepage established by the store can be adopted.

  On the system-dedicated home page, rankings can be displayed based on information about the number of points of all stores. Moreover, the display can also be displayed so that, for example, the store with the highest ranking is conspicuous. In addition, the order of the stores fluctuates in real time and is reflected in the display on the home page at regular intervals.

  In addition, the homepage to which the rank signal transmission unit sends a signal may be a donation destination homepage established by the donation destination. On the donation destination homepage, store information of a support store having a combination with the donation destination organization is transmitted. Also, ranking information regarding the number of points for a plurality of support stores is displayed on the donation destination homepage. As described above, the rank of the store fluctuates in real time and is reflected in the display on the home page at regular intervals.

  For example, on the donation destination home page, as shown in FIG. 7, a link of a support store of the donation destination group is posted. Based on the ranking regarding the number of points of the support store, the ranking can be displayed on the homepage or can be changed to a screen display that allows the store PR according to the ranking (see FIG. 8).

  Here, the type of the recipient organization is not particularly limited. For example, in addition to a professional sports team, various types of organizations such as local governments, NPO organizations, school PTAs, and volunteer organizations can be employed depending on the purpose.

  In addition, the information of the personnel belonging to the donation organization recorded in the management server 2 is not necessarily the name, position, back number, date of birth, height, weight, place of birth, career, hobby, favorite food of the player. It is not limited to information. Depending on the type of organization and the combination with the store, it can be selected as appropriate.

  Further, the information on the store and points recorded in the store information recording database 10 is not necessarily limited to the number of points awarded to consumers at the store, the number of points donated from the store terminal of the store, and coupons exchanged for points. The number is not limited. Any number related to stores and points can be adopted.

  Moreover, the information regarding the store recorded in the store information recording database 10 is not necessarily limited to information for each store such as a name, a store business type, a handling product, an address, and a telephone number. Any other information that can be linked to personal information of personnel belonging to the donation organization is sufficient.

  As described above, based on the information regarding the number of points in the point management system 1, the rank of the store fluctuates, and the display is changed according to the rank on the dedicated home page or the donation destination home page. With this function, an SEO measure for store information on each homepage is realized.

  The store terminal 4 has a donation-destination player proposal function as a mechanism for facilitating the donation action and further enhancing the connection with the donation-destination organization.

  As described above, personal information of players belonging to the donation destination is recorded in the management server 2, and information related to stores is recorded in the store information recording database 10. And the management server 2 has a donation candidate extraction transmission part.

  The donation candidate extraction and transmission unit matches store information and player personal information under predetermined conditions, and transmits the result to the store terminal 4.

  The predetermined conditions here are, for example, 1) the commonality of the characters of the store name and the player's name, 2) the common part of the store's phone number and the numbers such as the back number, date of birth, height and weight 3) The commonality of the store's address and the original school address listed in the player's career 4) The commonality between the store's products and services and the player's hobbies and favorite foods 5) From the store There are many past donations. The conditions can be arbitrarily set and changed by the management server 2.

  In the store terminal 4, when displaying the donation destination, in addition to displaying the set donation organization and all players of the donation destination, the donation candidate extraction and transmission unit displays the donation destination candidate players. It becomes possible. The candidate player for donation has something in common with the store where the donation is made, which makes it easier for consumers to donate. In addition, the link between stores and donation organizations can be further strengthened. The store terminal 4 can also display a donation player recommended by the store independently.

  Further, it is possible to adopt a mode in which the display of the donation-destination player on the store terminal 4 is displayed in conjunction with the player's activity and results in the game. In this case, in addition to the player's personal information, for example, the number of games played, the number of scores, acquisition of personal titles, and the like are recorded in the management server 2. This record may be a record of a year or season, or a fixed period such as one month or two weeks.

  In the store terminal 4, according to the player's activity recorded in the management server 2, by displaying separately as a candidate player for donation, not only facilitating donation but also increasing the attention to the donation organization and players Can do.

  The store terminal 4 can display a thank-you message or image from the player when the donation to the donation-destination player is completed.

An outline of the donation flow at the store terminal will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of the donation destination selection function. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing an outline of selection of a donation ratio.

  FIG. 9 shows a screen of the store terminal 4. First, the donation button is selected on the initial menu screen. The terminal screen is switched to a donation destination selection screen, and a plurality of donation destination organizations registered as donation destinations are displayed on the screen. Here, a button of a group such as a sport is pressed, and a further selection screen is displayed.

  A plurality of registered sport groups are also displayed on the displayed sport selection screen. When one of these is selected, the screen switches to a donation amount screen for setting a donation amount. On the donation amount screen, the consumer inputs the number of points to be donated from the points the user has. In this way, donation by points to a specific organization is completed.

  In addition, the point management system 1 can set a donation ratio and make continuous donations. As shown in FIG. 10, a donation button is selected from the menu screen of the store terminal 4 to obtain consent to make a donation.

  When the consumer presses the consent button, the screen switches to the continuous donation screen, and the donation rate can be set. Select the full amount of points on the terminal screen, half the points, 30% points, and the donation rate from time to time. When the consumer selects something other than the occasion, when the consumer purchases points by shopping in the store, the points are donated to the donation destination each time at the set ratio. In addition, when any time is selected, it is possible to make a donation by switching to the occasional donation screen for determining the number of points and setting points.

  Here, the donation ratio displayed on the continuous donation screen is not limited to four points: full points, half points, points 30%, and as needed.

  Thus, in the point management system 1, it is possible to realize continuous donation by connecting the consumer and a specific donation destination organization and setting the donation ratio.

  In the point management system to which the present invention described above is applied, since the identification of the consumer is performed using the manufacturing number information of the IC chip, the point management and use can be performed without requiring personal information such as name and address. It is possible.

  In addition, a wide range of users can be expected by using a traffic IC card with a built-in IC chip as a point management medium. In addition, since the consumer can use the already owned transportation IC card without owning a new card, it is easy to use.

  Also, by analyzing store history information visited by consumers within a desired condition range, marketing information that leads to more efficient customer acquisition can be obtained. In particular, it is possible to provide useful information to member stores by analyzing the behavior of consumers before and after a specific store.

  In addition, the management server can manage fee information relating to the granting or consumption of points between the member store and the operating entity. In addition, with the issuance and use of points, it is a mechanism that makes it easier for investment managers and member stores to make profits.

  Furthermore, the initially registered member store has a mechanism that makes it easier to increase profits by obtaining kickback profits.

  In addition, by providing a donation terminal, consumers can raise their donation awareness and contribute to social contribution. In addition, the recognition of this point management system can be increased by installing and using donation terminals.

As described above, the point management server of the present invention is easy to use for point users and easily leads to profits of member stores and management entities.
In addition, the point management system of the present invention is convenient for point users and is likely to lead to profits of member stores and management entities.
