[Overview of data processing system S]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a data processing system S according to an embodiment. The data processing system S is a system that provides benefits to users who present coupons. A benefit is an economic benefit given to a user. Benefits include, for example, a discount on the purchase price, cash back in the form of electronic money or points, the awarding of prizes, and free extension of service usage time. In the data processing system S, benefits are given according to coupons obtained from a plurality of users who have visited the store.

The data processing system S obtains a master coupon (also referred to as a first coupon) and a sub-coupon (also referred to as a second coupon) from a user who visits the store. The master coupon is a coupon that identifies the type of benefit given to the user. The sub-coupon is a coupon associated with the master coupon, and is a coupon for determining the degree to which a benefit is given. As an example, the sub-coupon is associated with the master coupon by having a coupon ID that is a combination of the coupon ID (Identification) of the master coupon and a branch number. In the data processing system S, for example, the privilege to be given to the user is determined so that the greater the number of sub-coupons acquired in association with the master coupon, the greater the benefit.

The data processing system S includes a data processing device 1, information terminals 2 (information terminals 2A and 2B in FIG. 1) used by each of a plurality of users, and a store terminal 3. The data processing device 1 is a device that acquires coupons and provides benefits corresponding to the acquired coupons to users who have presented the coupons. The data processing device 1 is, for example, a server.

The information terminal 2 displays a coupon ID expressed as a barcode or a QR (Quick Response) code (registered trademark) on the screen, and makes a payment using the benefit of the benefit granted by the payment application. The information terminal 2 is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or the like. The store terminal 3 is a terminal installed in a store, and is, for example, a POS (Point of Sale) cash register.

Processing in the data processing system S will be explained. First, the store terminal 3 reads the master coupon displayed on the information terminal 2A ((1) in FIG. 1). The store terminal 3 reads the sub-coupon displayed on the information terminal 2B different from the information terminal 2A ((2) in FIG. 1).

The store terminal 3 transmits the read master coupon and sub-coupon to the data processing device 1 ((3) in FIG. 1). The data processing device 1 determines a benefit to be given to the user who presented the master coupon according to the acquisition status of the acquired master coupon and sub-coupon ((4) in FIG. 1).

By configuring the data processing device 1 in this way, it is possible to issue coupons that are highly effective in attracting customers to stores, and provide more profits to users.
[Configuration of data processing device 1]
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the data processing device 1. As shown in FIG. The data processing device 1 includes a communication section 11, a storage section 12, and a control section 13. The control unit 13 includes an acquisition unit 131 , a benefit determination unit 132 , a benefit provision unit 133 , a notification unit 134 , a reception unit 135 , and a distribution unit 136 .

The communication unit 11 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from other devices via a network. The storage unit 12 is a storage medium including a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), an SSD (Solid State Drive), a hard disk drive, and the like. The storage unit 12 stores in advance a program to be executed by the control unit 13.

The storage unit 12 stores a benefit table indicating conditions for granting benefits. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of a privilege table stored in the storage unit 12. In the privilege table shown in FIG. 3, "master coupon ID", "number of sub-coupons acquired", "benefits content", and "granting target user" are associated.

"Master coupon ID" indicates the coupon ID (also referred to as coupon identification information) of the master coupon to be presented. “Number of acquired sub-coupons” indicates the number of acquired sub-coupons. "Benefit details" and "Granted user" respectively refer to the benefits that will be given to the user when the master coupon indicated by "Master coupon ID" and the number of sub-coupons indicated by "Number of sub-coupons acquired" are acquired. Indicates the content and the user to whom the benefit is given.

The control unit 13 is, for example, a processor such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The control unit 13 functions as an acquisition unit 131 , a benefit determination unit 132 , a benefit provision unit 133 , a notification unit 134 , a reception unit 135 , and a distribution unit 136 by executing the program stored in the storage unit 12 .

The acquisition unit 131 acquires the coupon ID of the master coupon and the coupon IDs of one or more sub-coupons associated with the master coupon from the store terminal 3 used in the store. The acquisition unit 131 acquires the coupon ID of the master coupon and the coupon ID of the sub-coupon acquired by the store terminal 3. Note that the acquisition unit 131 may acquire only the coupon ID of the master coupon from the store terminal 3.

The benefit determining unit 132 determines a benefit to be given to at least the user who presented the master coupon, based on the acquisition status of the coupon ID of the master coupon acquired by the acquisition unit 131 and the coupon ID of the sub-coupon associated with the master coupon. decide. As an example, the benefit determining unit 132 provides a benefit to the user based on the coupon ID of the master coupon acquired by the acquisition unit 131 and whether or not the coupon ID of the sub-coupon has been acquired or the number of acquired coupon IDs of the sub-coupon. Decide on the content.

Specifically, the benefit determination unit 132 refers to the benefit table stored in the storage unit 12, for example, and acquires the details of the benefit to be granted to the user. For example, if the coupon ID of the acquired master coupon is "C001" and the coupon ID of the acquired sub-coupons is 2, the benefit determining unit 132 will provide a matching "discount of the number of acquired sub-coupons x 5% from the accounting amount". ” to obtain the contents of the benefit. The benefit determining unit 132 multiplies the number of coupon IDs of the acquired sub-coupons by 2 and determines to provide the user with the benefit of "10% off the bill."

The privilege granting unit 133 grants the privilege determined by the privilege determining unit 132 to the user. As an example, the benefit granting unit 133 may send a notification including identification information for receiving the benefit to the information terminal 2 of the user who presented the coupon, or may send information indicating the content of the determined benefit to the information terminal 2 of the user who presented the coupon. The coupon ID may be transmitted to the store terminal 3 that acquired the coupon ID.

By configuring the data processing device 1 in this way, a user who has a master coupon can receive greater benefits by distributing sub-coupons to more users and visiting the store with more users. It becomes like this. As a result, the data processing device 1 has the effect of being able to provide benefits that have a high ability to attract customers.

Furthermore, by configuring the data processing device 1 so that a condition for granting a benefit is that a predetermined number or more of sub-coupons have been acquired, the user can visit the store with more other users in order to use the benefit. It is possible to provide incentives for using the system.

The benefit determining unit 132 may decide to provide a benefit on the condition that the acquisition unit 131 has acquired the identification information of a predetermined number of sub-coupons together with the identification information of the master coupon. The predetermined number is set, for example, based on the number of customers to be attracted that is commensurate with the cost for providing the benefit. In the benefit table shown in Figure 3, when the "master coupon ID" is "C002" and the "number of sub-coupons acquired" is "4 or more", the benefit of "20% discount from the billing amount" is given. is given to the user, and if the "number of sub-coupons acquired" is 3 or less, it is registered that the benefit will not be given. That is, in the case where the coupon ID of the sub-coupon acquired by the acquisition unit 131 is C002, the benefit determination unit 132 selects a "20% discount from the billing amount" if four or more coupon IDs of the acquired sub-coupons are acquired. When a privilege is given to a user and the number of coupon IDs of the acquired sub-coupons is three or less, the privilege is not given to the user.

By the way, by configuring the data processing device 1 to provide a benefit with a larger profit when a sub-coupon is acquired compared to when a sub-coupon is not acquired, an incentive is provided to the user to use the sub-coupon, thereby attracting more customers. Can improve strength.

In this case, the benefit determining unit 132 is configured to provide a larger benefit to the user when the acquiring unit 131 acquires the coupon ID of the sub-coupon compared to when the acquiring unit 131 does not acquire the coupon ID of the sub-coupon. determine the benefits to be given to the user. In the benefit table shown in Figure 3, when the "master coupon ID" is "C001" and the "number of sub-coupons acquired" is "0", the benefit of "2% discount from the billing amount" is given. It is registered to be given to the user. In the benefit table, when the "Number of sub-coupons acquired" is between 1 and 5, the discount of "Number of sub-coupons acquired x 5% from the accounting amount" which has a larger profit than when no sub-coupons are acquired. Granting benefits to users is registered.

In addition, based on the winning probability determined according to the number of sub-coupons obtained, it is determined whether or not to apply a higher discount rate (for example, twice the normal discount rate), and the winning of expensive products etc. The data processing device 1 may be configured to do the following. As an example, the benefit determining unit 132 determines the probability of winning a benefit to which a higher discount rate is applied according to the coupon ID of the acquired sub-coupon. For example, the probability of winning is set to increase as the number of sub-coupons acquired increases. Then, the benefit determining unit 132 determines whether or not to provide the user with a benefit to which a higher discount rate is applied, based on the determined probability of winning. If it is determined that a benefit to which a higher discount rate is applied is to be given to the user, the benefit determining unit 132 determines the benefit to be given to the user based on the higher discount rate. The benefit determining unit 132 may determine whether or not an expensive product or the like will be won using a similar method.

As a method for identifying a user to whom a benefit is granted, for example, the coupon ID of the distributed master coupon and the user ID of the user to whom the benefit is distributed may be stored in association with each other. In this case, the storage unit 12 stores a coupon ID for identifying the master coupon and user identification information for identifying the user who acquired the master coupon in association with each other.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a coupon table stored in the storage unit 12. In the coupon table shown in FIG. 4, "coupon ID" and "user ID" are associated. "User ID" is a user ID indicating the user who acquired the coupon ID.

The benefit granting unit 133 associates the benefit determined by the benefit determining unit 132 with the user identification information of the user who acquired the master coupon. That is, the benefit determining unit 132 refers to the benefit table stored in the storage unit 12 and determines the benefits to be given to the user and the users to whom the benefits are to be given. For example, if the coupon ID of the acquired master coupon is "C001", it is determined that the presenter of the master coupon will be given a benefit. The benefit granting unit 133 refers to the storage unit 12 and registers the user ID associated with the coupon ID of the presented master coupon in a database that manages users who can use the benefit. Note that the database for managing users who can use benefits may be stored in the storage unit 12 or may be stored in an external device (not shown).

Furthermore, the user ID of the user who presented the coupon may be acquired when acquiring the coupon ID. In this case, the barcode or QR code included in the screen presenting the coupon is, for example, a graphic representation of information including at least a coupon ID and a user ID.

The store terminal 3 acquires the user ID of the user who presented the master coupon by reading the barcode or QR code displayed by the information terminal 2. The acquisition unit 131 acquires the coupon ID of the master coupon and the user identification information of the user who presented the master coupon.

The benefit granting unit 133 associates the benefit determined by the benefit determining unit 132 with the user identification information of the user who acquired the master coupon. That is, when the target to whom the benefit is granted is the user who presented the master coupon, the benefit granting unit 133 registers the user ID acquired by the acquiring unit 131 as a user who can use the benefit.

[Granting benefits to users presenting sub-coupons]
By the way, by giving a benefit not only to the user who presented the master coupon but also to the user who presented the sub-coupon, the user who presented the sub-coupon can feel the effect. As a result, we can expect the effect that users who have acquired a master coupon will visit the store together with other users who have acquired sub-coupons, and the effect that users who have presented sub-coupons will acquire master coupons and visit the store further with other users. You can expect it.

In this case, the benefit determining unit 132 determines a benefit to be given to the user who presented the one or more sub-coupons acquired by the acquiring unit 131. Specifically, the benefit determining unit 132 selects the user who presented the sub-coupon if the “user eligible for grant” in the benefit table stored in the storage unit 12 indicates that the user who presented the sub-coupon is included in the target user. Deciding to grant benefits to Note that the benefit determining unit 132 may decide to grant a benefit to all users who have presented sub-coupons, or may decide to grant a benefit to selected users from among the users who have presented sub-coupons. good.

The storage unit 12 may store a coupon ID for identifying a master coupon, a coupon ID of one or more sub-coupons, and user identification information of a user who acquired each of the one or more sub-coupons in association with each other. . In the coupon table shown in FIG. 4, a "master coupon ID" is further associated. "Master coupon ID" indicates the coupon ID of the master coupon associated when the coupon is a sub-coupon. That is, a coupon whose "master coupon ID" has no value indicates that it is a master coupon.

The benefit granting unit 133 associates the benefit determined by the benefit determining unit 132 with the user identification information of each user who has acquired one or more sub-coupons.

Furthermore, the data processing device 1 may also acquire the user ID of the user who presented the sub-coupon when acquiring the coupon ID. That is, the acquisition unit 131 acquires the coupon ID of the sub-coupon and the user identification information of the user who presented the sub-coupon. The benefit granting unit 133 associates the benefit determined by the benefit determining unit 132 with the user identification information of each user who has acquired one or more sub-coupons. That is, when the target for granting the benefit is the user who presented the sub-coupon, the benefit granting unit 133 registers the user ID of the user who presented the sub-coupon acquired by the acquisition unit 131 as a user who can use the benefit.

[Delivery of master coupon]
The data processing device 1 may distribute the master coupon to the user's information terminal 2 so that the user can use the master coupon. As an example, the distribution unit 136 transmits the master coupon to all or some of the information terminals 2 of the users included in the list of users stored in the storage unit 12. The distribution unit 136 may transmit the master coupon to the information terminal 2 corresponding to the destination identification information received from an external device (not shown). The distribution unit 136 may store the coupon ID of the distributed master coupon and the user ID of the distribution destination user in the storage unit 12 in association with each other.

Note that the distribution unit 136 may transmit the master coupon as well as one or more sub-coupons associated with the master coupon to be distributed to the information terminal 2. By configuring the distribution unit 136 in this way, the information terminal 2 of the user who has acquired the master coupon can distribute sub-coupons to the information terminals 2 of other users without going through the data processing device 1. , user convenience is improved.

Note that the receiving unit 135 may receive a distribution request from the information terminal 2 requesting distribution of the master coupon. The distribution request may include the coupon ID of the master coupon to be distributed. The distribution unit 136 distributes the master coupon to the information terminal 2 that transmitted the distribution request received by the reception unit 135. As an example, the distribution unit 136 may store the coupon ID of the distributed master coupon and the user ID of the distribution destination user in the storage unit 12 in association with each other.

[Delivery of sub-coupon]
A user who has acquired a master coupon must allow other users to use sub-coupons. Therefore, the data processing device 1 may be configured to accept a request from a user who has acquired a master coupon to distribute sub-coupons to other users.

The receiving unit 135 receives a distribution request including destination identification information corresponding to the destination user to which the sub-coupon is to be distributed, from the information terminal 2 used by the user who has acquired the master coupon. The receiving unit 135 receives, for example, a distribution request that includes a destination user's phone number, email address, or user ID. Note that the distribution request may include a coupon ID that identifies the master coupon associated with the subcoupon to be distributed.

The distribution unit 136 distributes the sub-coupon associated with the master coupon to the information terminal 2 corresponding to the destination identification information included in the distribution request received by the reception unit 135. The distribution unit 136 transmits the sub-coupon by e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), RCS (Rich Communication Services), etc., for example. In addition, when the distribution unit 136 distributes a sub-coupon, the distribution unit 136 may store the coupon ID of the distributed sub-coupon and the user ID of the distribution destination user in the storage unit 12 in association with each other.

By configuring the data processing device 1 to distribute sub-coupons in response to requests from users, it becomes easier for users to distribute sub-coupons to other users and use services together with other users.

By notifying the user that a sub-coupon is available when the user uses only the master coupon, for example, the user can avoid forgetting to present the sub-coupon, and the user can use the sub-coupon the next time he/she visits the store. You can expect the effect of using coupons together. Therefore, when the acquisition unit 131 does not acquire the coupon ID of the sub-coupon, the notification unit 134 may notify the information terminal 2 of the user who presented the acquired master coupon that the sub-coupon can be used. . That is, when the information acquired by the acquisition unit 131 does not include the coupon ID of the sub-coupon, the notification unit 134 notifies the information terminal 2 of the user who presented the master coupon of the message shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a message notified by the notification unit 134. In the message shown in FIG. 5, a message informing the user that the sub-coupon can be used is displayed on the screen of the information terminal 2 owned by the user.

By configuring the data processing device 1 in this way, it is possible to make the user who used the master coupon aware of the existence of the sub-coupon.

By configuring each sub-coupon to have a different coupon ID, it is possible to avoid double counting of sub-coupons by the store terminal 3, and also to collect data regarding the consumption behavior of the user who presented the sub-coupon. It can be made easier.

Each of the sub-coupons presented by a plurality of different information terminals 2 has a different coupon ID. Therefore, the acquisition unit 131 acquires a different coupon ID for each sub-coupon. The store terminal 3 acquires coupon IDs of different sub-coupons from the respective information terminals 2 and transmits them to the data processing device 1.

[Flow of processing in data processing device 1]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing in the data processing device 1. The flowchart in FIG. 6 starts from the timing when coupon identification information is acquired from the store terminal 3.

The acquisition unit 131 acquires the coupon ID of the master coupon and the coupon IDs of one or more sub-coupons from the store terminal 3 (S01). The acquisition unit 131 may further acquire the user ID of the user who presented the coupon. The benefit determining unit 132 refers to the benefit table stored in the storage unit 12 and acquires the details of the benefits corresponding to the acquired master coupon and sub-coupon (S02).

The notification unit 134 determines whether the master coupon acquired by the acquisition unit 131 is a coupon for which a sub-coupon can be used, and whether or not the master coupon has not yet been acquired (S03). If the master coupon is not a coupon for which sub-coupons can be used, or if sub-coupons have already been acquired (NO in S03), the process proceeds to S07. If the master coupon acquired by the acquisition unit 131 is a coupon for which a sub-coupon can be used, and the sub-coupon has not been acquired (YES in S03), the notification unit 134 notifies the user that the sub-coupon can be used. information terminal 2 (S04).

The data processing device 1 determines whether an operation to add a sub-coupon has been accepted (S05). When the operation to add a sub-coupon is accepted (YES in S05), the acquisition unit 131 further acquires a sub-coupon (S06). If the operation to add a sub-coupon is not accepted (NO in S05), the process advances to S07.

The benefit determining unit 132 determines a benefit to be given to the user based on the content of the acquired benefit and the number of coupon identification information of the sub-coupon (S07). The benefit granting unit 133 grants a benefit to the user (S08). As an example, the benefit granting unit 133 registers the user ID of the user who presented the coupon as a user who can use the benefit. The data processing device 1 ends the process.

[Configuration of information terminal 2]
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the information terminal 2. As shown in FIG. The information terminal 2 includes a communication section 21, an input section 22, a display section 23, a storage section 24, and a control section 25. The control unit 25 includes an acquisition unit 251, a transmission unit 252, and a presentation unit 253.

The communication unit 21 is a communication interface for transmitting and receiving data to and from other devices via a network. The input unit 22 is an input device such as a touch screen. The display unit 23 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (electro-luminescence) display. The display unit 23 presents the master coupon or sub-coupon. Specifically, the display unit 23 displays the coupons stored in the storage unit 24 based on the control signal from the presentation unit 253.

The storage unit 24 is a storage medium including ROM, RAM, SSD, etc. The storage unit 24 and the control unit 25 store in advance a program to be executed. The control unit 25 is, for example, a processor such as a CPU. The control unit 25 functions as an acquisition unit 251, a transmission unit 252, and a presentation unit 253 by executing a program stored in the storage unit 24.

The acquisition unit 251 acquires a master coupon or a sub-coupon. The acquisition unit 251 acquires, for example, the master coupon or sub-coupon transmitted by the distribution unit 136. The acquisition unit 251 stores the acquired master coupon or sub-coupon in the storage unit 24. Note that the acquisition unit 251 may acquire sub-coupons transmitted by other users' information terminals 2. The acquisition unit 251 may acquire the master coupon as well as one or more sub-coupons associated with the master coupon.

The transmitter 252 transmits a distribution request including destination identification information of another user to the data processing device 1 based on the user's operation. Further, the transmitting unit 252 may transmit a sub-coupon associated with the master coupon stored in the storage unit 12 to the information terminal 2 of another user. That is, upon receiving a user's operation for transmitting a sub-coupon to another user, the transmitting unit 252 assigns a branch number that does not overlap with an issued sub-coupon to the coupon ID of the master coupon stored in the storage unit 12. The coupon ID of the issued sub-coupon is issued, and the sub-coupon including the issued coupon ID is transmitted to the information terminal 2 of another user.

When the acquisition unit 251 acquires the master coupon as well as one or more sub-coupons associated with the master coupon, the transmitting unit 252 may be configured to distribute the sub-coupons to the information terminals 2 of other users. Specifically, the user operates the information terminal 2 and performs an operation to distribute the sub-coupon to another user, for example, by inputting or selecting the other user's destination identification information. When receiving the distribution operation by the user, the transmitter 252 transmits the sub-coupon to the information terminal 2 corresponding to the input or selected destination identification information.
