Description

      Embodiments of the present invention relate to a consumption lottery card system, a consumption lottery card, a card reading terminal, a management storage server, a consumption lottery card method, and the like.

      Conventionally, for the purpose of sales promotion of companies, a lottery opportunity is given to consumers for a limited time in a certain place such as commercial facilities (including online shops), and prizes or prizes or services equivalent to them are given to winners May provide. Or, when a user uses a credit cart, prepaid card, electronic money, etc., a point service may be provided.

      However, in the case described above, the purchasing behavior of consumers is often limited to time, place, product (service), membership system, etc., and the effect of promoting corporate sales is not always expected. Or, there may be some consumers who purchase more than necessary to get lottery opportunities and later regret.

      Issuing a consumer lottery card and distributing it to consumers so that the consumer's purchasing behavior can always be accompanied by fun without regret, while enhancing the attractiveness of the company and promoting sales, a consumer lottery card reader terminal A consumer (card user) who has a consumer lottery card in preparation for a company (member company) (with some exceptions) can use it by presenting a consumer lottery card each time a product or service is purchased by a member company. When the amount of money is given to the lottery card and accumulated, the lottery number on the card becomes valid when the amount of money reaches the number amount, and if the number matches in the lottery at a later date, the prize will be awarded. .

      According to the present invention, a consumer (card user) having a consumer lottery card is presented with a consumer lottery card each time a member company purchases a product or service, so that the consumer is given a record amount and stored. When the recorded amount reaches the number amount, the consumption lottery number provided on the card becomes valid, and if the number matches in the lottery at a later date, the consumption lottery card system, the consumption lottery card, the card reading terminal, An object is to provide a management storage server and a consumption lottery card method.

      In order to solve the above problems, according to an aspect of the present invention, a consumption lottery card, a card reading terminal (card reader / writer) for reading and writing the consumption lottery card, and a management storage server connected to the card reading terminal online A consumer lottery card system that manages a consumer lottery card issuance and management storage server, wherein the consumer lottery card includes a card number, a consumer lottery number, and a consumer A lottery number amount and a function capable of reading and writing information data with the card reading terminal, wherein the card reading terminal communicates with the management storage server and reading / writing means for reading and writing data with the card And the management storage server is provided in the issued lottery card to be issued and the card reading terminal. Storage means for storing information data to be stored and registration means for registering information data to be written to the card in the storage means, wherein the card issuer issues the consumption lottery card, and the management storage server A lottery means for lottering a winning number of the consumption lottery number, and a means for paying a winning amount to a winner of the winning number. The

      One or a plurality of lottery consumption lottery numbers are provided in advance in the consumption lottery card. However, this consumption lottery number is not effective unless the recorded amount recorded on the card is accumulated up to the number amount. Since the consumption lottery number becomes valid, if the card user has the same price and the same product, if the member company presents the consumption lottery card and makes a purchase, the recorded amount is recorded and stored in the consumption lottery card. As this is repeated, the lottery numbers on the consumption lottery card become valid one after another. If the winning number matches in the lottery at a later date, the winnings will be collected.

      The above-mentioned recorded amount is a record of the amount paid to the company when the card user purchases a product or service from the company. The recorded amount is written on the card by the card reading terminal and registered in the management storage server. Such writing and registration can be repeated up to the card limit.

      The above-mentioned number amount is the amount of recorded money that can validate the lottery consumption lottery number on the consumption lottery card. The number was set by the above card issuer and was already written on the card when the card was issued. If you use a card whose number is set as low as 100 yen, if you buy one item at a 100 yen shop of a member company, the recorded amount of 100 yen will be written on the consumption lottery card, and then one consumption lottery The number is valid, but if you purchase a product at a 100 yen shop of a member company using a card whose number is set high at 1000 yen in the above example, the record amount of 100 yen will be recorded on the lottery card Is written, but the lottery number is not valid.

      The consumption lottery number of the consumption lottery card set with a low number amount is different from the consumption lottery number of the consumption lottery card set with a high number amount. In the above example, the consumption lottery number of the double lottery card There is a 10-fold difference between the numbers. However, such a different setting of the number amount is only for convenience in use and storage. For member companies and consumer lottery card users, which number amount card is used, and which consumer lottery number amount There is no such thing as losing if you use a card, and the value is the same no matter which number of cards you use, because no matter how many numbers you spend on a lottery card, the recorded amount will not change.

At the card issuer, for example, there are 3 types of lottery cards with the same total recording amount of 10 million yen, a 2% winning prize of 200,000, and a card limit of 10,000 yen. If the issue is set with the yen and medium number amount set at 1000 yen and the high number amount set at 10000 yen, the low number amount, medium number amount, and high number amount cards are also 1000 cards, but the consumption lottery number is 10 each. Ten thousand, 10,000, and 1,000.
So, using the same 10,000 yen each, using 3 kinds of low, middle and high consumption lottery cards for shopping, each made 100, 10 and 1 consumption lottery numbers valid, but the lottery has 3 kinds of low, middle and high By doing separately, the winning probability is the same 0.1%, so the result is the same.

      However, it would be inconvenient to record 100 lottery numbers on a single lottery card, so the lower lottery lottery card will have a lower limit. Then, even if you shop for 50,000 yen, a high-numbered lottery card will be more convenient. ,

      The limit of the consumption lottery card is the maximum limit of the total amount of recorded money. For example, in the case of a limit of 5000 yen, even if there is a total of 5200 yen recorded amount, it will be regarded as a recorded amount of 5000 yen.

      Concerning the number of lottery consumption lottery numbers on the lottery card, the lottery number will be determined by the number of the card and the limit of the card. In the case of a card with the same limit amount of 5000 yen and a number amount set to 1000 yen, the number of consumption lottery numbers is 5.

      Furthermore, in the case of a card (for example, an IC card) for which no limit is set, a lottery consumption lottery number is provided in the data management storage server. Therefore, every time the recorded amount written on the card reaches the number amount, the lottery consumption number Can be delivered to the member company from the data management storage server and passed to the card user. In this case, neither the consumption lottery number nor the recorded amount balance can be printed on the card. Can be printed on paper.

      Alternatively, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a consumption lottery card method comprising a consumption lottery card, a card reading terminal, a management storage server, and a card issuer. Presenting step, reading the lottery card information data step, providing the lottery card information data to the management storage server, writing the information data to the consumption lottery card, and writing the consumption lottery card information There is provided a consumption lottery card method comprising the steps of: sending data to a management storage server for storage; lottery step for winning a winning lottery number; and paying a winning amount to a winner The

      When a card user purchases a product or service from a member company, the amount of payment can be paid by presenting a lottery card at the store, online, cash, credit card, electronic money, at any place of purchase, or at any payment method. The recorded amount corresponding to is added and recorded on the consumption lottery card.

      For example, a card user purchases 1,000 yen at a member company. The card user presents a consumption lottery card and pays a purchase price of 1000 yen, and the card can receive a record amount of 1000 yen. The member company receives the paid purchase price of 1000 yen, records the recorded amount of 1000 yen on the card presented and registers with the card issuer. Instead, it pays the card issuer a fee, for example 13 %. In this example, the fee is 30 yen. After all, the amount of the purchase price paid 1000 yen minus the fee 30 is 970 yen, which seems to be a loss. Profits are greater, leading to increased use by consumers and increased corporate sales. The card issuer deducts the fee from the bank account designated by the member company. In this example, the profit of the card company is 30 yen, and a part of the fee can be used for winning. In this way, the card company is charged a fee, the card user gets the recorded amount, and the sales of the affiliated company will increase. As mentioned above, the consumer lottery card system is for all users, shops, and card companies. It can be considered that the system has merit.

      Regardless of when, where and what the consumer purchases goods or services according to their consumption ability and purpose of consumption, if they are a member company, they will be presented with a consumption lottery card and given a record amount As the amount accumulates, the lottery number will become valid, regardless of whether it is a lottery at a later date.
