[Outline of Transaction Integration Device 1]
First, an outline of the transaction integration device 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1 (1), conventionally, in the shopping site A, provisional points have been given to a person who is given point type A (a person to whom original points are given) at the time of product purchase. On the other hand, in other shopping sites B, provisional points were not given to the point type B grant target (the grant target person of the integration target points) at the time of product purchase.

On the other hand, in the transaction integration device 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 (2), in the shopping site A, the grantee of the point type B (the grantee of the integration target points) purchases the product Even so, provisional points can be given in the same manner as the point type A grant target person (original point grant target person). At this time, the transaction integration apparatus 1 of the present invention gives temporary points to the grant target person of the integration target points without changing a series of processes for the grant target person of the integration target points.

Here, in shopping on a shopping site, points given at the time of product purchase are determined, and points determined at the time of product shipment are actually given. That is, no points are given to the user during the period from product purchase to product shipment. Temporary points are virtual points for counting the increase or decrease in points between product purchase and product shipment, the details of which will be described later with reference to FIG.

[Configuration of Transaction Integration Device 1]
Next, the configuration of the transaction integration apparatus 1 of the present invention will be described using the transaction integration system 300 including the transaction integration apparatus 1 of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the transaction integration system 300.

The transaction integration system 300 includes the client apparatus 100 including various servers and user terminals that perform various processes, and the transaction integration apparatus 1 of the present invention, and can communicate with other transaction processing apparatuses 130 via a communication network. Connected.
The other transaction processing device 130 executes a process for giving a fixed point based on the processing request for executing the integration target transaction.

The client device 100 is communicably connected to the transaction integration device 1 of the present invention via a communication network, and transmits processing requests for a plurality of types of transactions to the transaction integration device 1 and sends the processing results from the transaction integration device 1. Receive. For example, when the user performs shopping at the shopping site A, the client device 100 makes a processing request by transmitting the processing target ID, the user ID, and the purchase amount of the shopping to the transaction integration device 1. In other words, the client device 100 can add the point type B grantee (the integration target point ) even if the point type A grantee (original point grantee) performs shopping at the shopping site A. Even if the grantee) makes a purchase, the transaction integration apparatus 1 is requested to process.

The transaction integration device 1 provides a common interface for the grantee of the integration target point and the grantee of the original point, so that the virtual transaction execution means 2, the processing result database 3, the transaction identification information database 4, ,including.

  The virtual transaction execution unit 2 includes an integrated transaction generation unit 21, an integrated transaction processing unit 22, and an interface processing unit 23 in order to virtually execute provisional point assignment, which is the superiority of the original point.

  Based on the processing request received from the client device 100, the integrated transaction generating unit 21 generates an integrated transaction that causes the transaction integrating device 1 to execute processing by the integrated transaction processing unit 22 and the interface processing unit 23 described later.

The integrated transaction processing unit 22 determines whether or not the integrated transaction generated by the integrated transaction generating unit 21 is a processing request to another transaction processing device 130 based on the transaction identification information defined in the transaction identification information database 4. To do.
Here, the integrated transaction processing means 22 is a processing request to another transaction processing device 130 when the granted point type corresponding to the user ID received from the client device 100 is “B” (integration target point). When the granted point type is “A” (original point) , it is determined that the request is a processing request to the transaction integration device 1.
In order to make such a determination, in the transaction identification information database 4, as shown in FIG. 4, information on the granted point type is defined in association with the user ID. The integrated transaction processing means 22 makes the above determination based on the granted point type stored in the transaction identification information database 4 in association with the user ID received from the client device 100.
As a result, when it is a processing request to the other transaction processing device 130, the input of the processing request is transmitted to the other transaction processing device 130, and the other transaction processing device 130 is caused to execute the process for giving the confirmation point. In addition, information indicating the result of the determination point grant process is received and stored in the process result database 3.
In the case of a processing request to the transaction integration device 1, it is a processing of a transaction that is not executed by another transaction processing device 130 in response to the received processing request , and processing by the interface processing means 23 described later. Other processing, for example, provisional point provision processing is executed, and information indicating the provisional point provided is stored in the processing result database 3. The provisional point can be determined by an existing method. For example, the provisional point is determined by adding provision points included in the processing request.

  The interface processing unit 23 executes interface processing that is not executed by any other transaction processing device 130 other than the transaction integration device 1. Specifically, the interface processing unit 23 responds to a request from the client device 100 (for example, a user terminal), information indicating the provisional points assigned and information indicating the confirmation points assigned, stored in the processing result database 3. Is transmitted to the client device 100.

As described above, the transaction integration device 1 simply performs processing for adding a provisional point to the processing request transmitted from the client device 100, and does not change the processing request itself. A processing request is transmitted to the transaction processing device 130. Therefore, the other transaction processing device 130 can behave as if the processing target is directly delivered from the client device 100, and there is no need to change the processing of the other transaction processing device 130. On the other hand, in the transaction integration device 1, provisional points that could not be presented to the grantee of the integration target points can be presented to the user.
Therefore, according to the transaction integration device 1 of the present invention, a common interface for presenting temporary points possessed by the point program (system) of the point type A without changing each other's processing for various transactions having different processing contents. Can be provided.

[Hardware configuration]
The hardware of the transaction integration apparatus 1, the client apparatus 100, and the other transaction processing apparatus 130 described above can be configured by one or a plurality of general computers. For example, a general computer includes a central processing unit (CPU) as a control unit, and a memory (RAM, ROM), a hard disk (HDD), and an optical disk (CD, DVD, etc.) as a storage unit, and a network communication device. Various wired and wireless LAN devices as display devices, for example, various displays such as liquid crystal displays and plasma displays, and as input devices, for example, keyboards and pointing devices (mouse, tracking ball, etc.) Are connected by a bus line. In such a general computer, the CPU controls each of the transaction integration device 1, the client device 100, and the other transaction processing device 130, and reads and executes various programs as appropriate, so that the hardware described above is executed. In cooperation with hardware, various functions according to the present invention are realized.

That is, the integrated transaction processing unit 22 determines whether the integrated transaction generated by the integrated transaction generating unit 21 is a processing request to another transaction processing device 130 based on the transaction identification information defined in the transaction identification information database 4 . If the request is a processing request to another transaction processing device 130, the processing request input is transmitted to the other transaction processing device 130, and the confirmation point is granted to the other transaction processing device 130. After that, information indicating the result of the determination point assignment process is received and stored in the process result database 3. On the other hand, in the case of a processing request to the transaction integration device 1 , the integrated transaction processing means 22 is a transaction processing that is not executed by another transaction processing device 130 in response to the received processing request , and will be described later. Processing other than the processing by the interface processing means 23 to perform, for example, provisional point provision processing is executed, and information indicating the provisional point assigned is stored in the processing result database 3 (see FIG. 3) .

S4: Subsequently, the interface processing unit 23 transmits the temporary points and the confirmed points stored in the processing result database 3 to the client device 100 (user terminal) as interface processing. As a result, a user who has made a purchase at the shopping site A can be presented with temporary points regardless of whether the user is an original point grant person or an integration target point grant person .
