  Embodiments of the present invention relate to an information processing device, an information processing system, and a program.

  In recent years, an electronic receipt system has been developed in which a receipt or a receipt delivered to a shopper from a store at the time of settlement is converted into electronic data, transmitted to a portable terminal of the customer, and the like for display. There is an advantage that the customer can divert receipt data to household accounting software etc. by converting the receipt into electronic data. In addition, there is also an advantage for the introduced store that the consumption of receipt paper can be reduced by using the electronic receipt.

  In addition, there is also an attempt to attach additional data (a bonus content) other than transaction information such as background image data and music data to an electronic receipt as a privilege of product purchase to connect to sales promotion of a store or a product.

  However, under the present circumstances, such privilege content is only attached to the electronic receipt, and is displayed or reproduced along with the display of the electronic receipt. Therefore, even if the customer purchases a product and acquires the privilege content, there has been a problem that it takes time and effort to search for an electronic receipt with a benefit from among a plurality of electronic receipt usage histories. In addition, even if the customer repeatedly purchases a product and acquires a plurality of electronic receipts with benefits, the benefit contents can not be listed because they are not aggregated. Therefore, it has been difficult to obtain the customer's desire to continuously obtain the electronic receipt with the benefit. Thus, conventionally, it has been desired that the additional data other than the transaction information added to the electronic receipt can be easily viewed.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and a program that can easily browse additional data other than the transaction information added to the electronic receipt.

  The information processing apparatus according to the embodiment includes a receiving unit, a data adding unit, a first output unit, a second output unit, and a third output unit. The receiving means receives the electronic receipt generated by the sales data processing apparatus including the member identification information of the customer and the transaction data indicating the product purchase at the shop of the customer. The data adding means adds additional data, which is data other than the transaction data, to the electronic receipt, and stores the additional data in the electronic receipt storage means in association with the member identification information of the customer. The first output unit outputs display data for displaying the first operator for displaying the electronic receipt and the second operator for displaying the additional data on the same screen. The second output means reads the electronic receipt corresponding to the member identification information from the electronic receipt storage means in response to the operation of the first operator, and outputs display data for displaying the electronic receipt.

If an instruction to browse the benefit list screen is received (step S20: Yes), the transmission / reception unit 81 uses the member code stored in the storage unit 75 to make an inquiry about the benefit list screen (step S21).

  The receiving unit 51 of the electronic receipt server 4 receives the browsing inquiry from the portable terminal 7 (step S21). The transmission unit 53 refers to the electronic receipt storage unit 45 for the membership code for which the browsing inquiry has been made. When there is no acquired privilege content (step S22: No), the transmitting unit 53 transmits, to the portable terminal 7, the display data such as the display frame or the content conforming to the privilege content as described above (step S23) . The display control unit 82 of the portable terminal 7 displays the initial screen (see FIG. 11) of the benefit list screen using the received display data (step S24). Thereafter, the process shifts to B in the figure, and the start screen (see FIG. 9) is displayed or the application is ended in accordance with the operation of the back button or the home button of the portable terminal 7 or the like.

  On the other hand, if there is at least one acquired privilege content (step S22: Yes), the transmission unit 53 generates display data for displaying the content of the privilege content on the privilege list screen. Then, the transmission unit 53 transmits a response to the generated display data to the portable terminal 7 (step S25). The display control unit 82 of the mobile terminal 7 displays the benefit list screen (see FIG. 13) on the display unit 73 based on the received display data (step S26).

  Next, the receiving unit 83 of the portable terminal 7 determines whether or not the content selection operation of the bonus content has been received on the bonus list screen (step S27). If the selection operation is not received (step S27: No), the process proceeds to B in the drawing, and the same process as described above is performed. When the selection operation is received (step S27: Yes), the display control unit 82 separates the content of the selected bonus content from the transaction data as shown in FIG. 14 and displays it in the entire display area of the display unit 73. (Step S28). Thereafter, the process moves to B in the figure, and the same process as described above is performed.

  On the other hand, in step S29, the receiving unit 83 of the portable terminal 7 determines whether an instruction to view an electronic receipt, such as a selection operation of the icon 85 (see FIG. 9), has been received. If the browsing instruction is not received (Step S29: No), the process proceeds to B in the figure, and the same process as described above is performed. If the electronic receipt browsing instruction is received (step S29: Yes), the transmitting / receiving unit 81 makes an electronic receipt browsing inquiry using the membership code stored in the storage unit 75 (step S30).

  Although not shown in FIG. 16, the transmission unit 53 of the electronic receipt server 4 extracts the display data of the requested electronic receipt from the electronic receipt storage unit 45 according to the membership code and the type of the browsing request, Transmit to terminal 7 The portable terminal 7 outputs the search conditions (date, store name, company name, etc.) input in the portable terminal 7 as a browsing request. Alternatively, a request to list all data in chronological order is output as a browsing request. As the read request of the electronic receipt and the display processing, the processing performed in the past may be used, and thus the detail will be omitted here.

  Then, the display control unit 82 displays, on the display unit 73, a receipt list screen on which the search results are displayed, or a receipt list screen on which the electronic receipts are sorted in order of date (step S31). In addition, on the receipt list screen, a title display including text display of a trade date, a store name, a company name and the like, a logo mark of a company and the like is performed for each transaction. Then, by selecting the title, details of the electronic receipt of the transaction can be displayed.

  When any one electronic receipt is selected on the receipt list screen (step S32: Yes), the display control unit 82 displays the details of the selected electronic receipt (step S33). That is, the display control unit 82 displays an electronic receipt including the store logo area 77 and the transaction data area 78 (both refer to FIG. 10) on the display unit 73. If privilege content is attached to the electronic receipt, as shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 82 includes the electronic receipt including the content of the privilege content (the background image 88 and the sound reproduction icon 89 in the example of FIG. 10). indicate.
