  In the participating company terminal 10-k, the control unit 14 displays on the participating company that the payment of the price indicated in the price payment request received from the introducing company server 40 is requested from the introducing company. Then, the control unit 14 may perform the payment of the price indicated in the payment request by a general-purpose credit card settlement realized on the network 50 in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 12.

  After that, in the mobile communication terminal 20-j, the control unit 26 first responds to the operation of the operation unit 24 by the user, and the reading unit 21 uses the two-dimensional logo with a seal logo attached to the product or the like. The URL indicated by the code 2-i is read, and the read URL is displayed on the display unit 22. Then, when access to the URL displayed on the display unit 22 is instructed by the operation of the operation unit 24 by the user, the control unit 26 starts the following point addition process.

  10 to 14 are flowcharts illustrating an example of the point addition process.

  In this point addition processing, the control unit 26 first accesses the URL read by the reading unit 21 (step S11 shown in FIG. 10), and displays the login screen display data via the operating company server 30. Get from.

  Next, the control unit 26 determines whether or not the automatic login flag provided in the storage unit 23 is on (step S12). If the automatic login flag is off (step S12; No), a predetermined login screen is displayed. It displays on the part 22 (step S13).

  Subsequently, the control unit 26 determines whether or not the item “first person here is here” is selected from among a plurality of items displayed on the login screen by the operation of the operation unit 24 by the user (step S <b> 1). S14).

  Here, if the item “here is the first time here” is selected (step S14; Yes), the control unit 26 acquires the member registration screen display data from the introducing company server 40 via the operating company server 30. Then, a predetermined member registration screen is displayed on the display unit 22 (step S15).

  Subsequently, the control unit 26 determines whether or not the confirmation icon is clicked in a state where the item data is input to the member registration screen by the operation of the operation unit 24 by the user (step S16), and the control unit 26 must be clicked. If (Step S16; No), it loops and waits.

  Thereafter, when the confirmation icon is clicked (step S16; Yes), the control unit 26 transmits item data from the communication unit 25 to the introducing company server 40 via the operating company server 30 (step S17 shown in FIG. 11). .

  And in introduction company server 40, control part 43 receives item data transmitted from mobile communication terminal 20-j in communication part 41 (Step S18), and memorizes it in member DB421, thereby registering a member. While performing (step S19), the member registration completion notification is transmitted from the communication unit 31 to the mobile communication terminal 20-j via the operation company server 30 (step S20).

  In the mobile communication terminal 20-j, the control unit 26 receives the member registration completion notification transmitted from the introducing company server 40 at the communication unit 25 (step S21), and then indicates that the member registration is completed. A member registration completion screen is displayed on the display unit 22 (step S22), and an individual number unregistered flag provided in the storage unit 23 is set to an on state (step S23).

  Thereafter, the control unit 26 returns to the process of step S13 after a predetermined period of time has elapsed or when an instruction to move to the login screen is given by the operation of the operation unit 24 by the user.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the item “first time here is here” is not selected (step S14; No in FIG. 10), the control unit 26 logs in by operating the operation unit 24 by the user. It is determined whether or not the item “automatic login” is selected from the plurality of items displayed on the screen (step S24).

  Here, if the item “automatic login” is selected (step S24; Yes), the control unit 26 sets the automatic login flag to the on state (step S25), but if it is not selected (step S25). Step S24; No), the process of step S25 is skipped.

  Subsequently, after the login ID and password are input to the login screen by the operation of the operation unit 24 by the user, the control unit 26 sets “ID and pass login” among a plurality of items displayed on the login screen. It is determined whether or not an item has been selected or an item “login with individual number” has been selected (step S26).

  Here, if neither the item “login with ID and pass” nor the item “login with individual number” is selected (step S26; No), the control unit 26 returns to the process of step S14. To do.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the automatic login flag is on (step S12; Yes), either the item "login with ID and password" or the item "login with individual number" is selected. In the case (step S26; Yes), or after executing the process of step S23 shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 26 determines whether or not the individual number unregistered flag is on (step S27 shown in FIG. 12). .

  If the individual number unregistered flag is on (step S27; Yes), the control unit 26 sends the individual number stored in the ROM together with the login ID and password from the communication unit 25 via the operating company server 30. To the introduced company server 40 (step S28).

  Thereafter, the control unit 26 clears the individual number unregistered flag and turns it off (step S29).

  And in introduction company server 40, control part 43 receives login ID, a password, and individual number transmitted from mobile communication terminal 20-j in communication part 41 (Step S30), and logs in an individual number. The information is stored in the member DB 421 in association with the ID and password (step S31).

  On the other hand, if the individual number unregistered flag is off (step S27; No), the control unit 26 sends the login ID and password or the individual number from the communication unit 25 to the introducing company server 40 via the network 50. Transmit (step S32).

  In the introduction company server 40, the control unit 43 receives the login ID and password or the individual number transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 20-j by the communication unit 41 (step S33). Then, the control unit 43 performs user authentication by determining whether or not the login ID and password received at step S33 or the individual number is registered in the member DB 421 (step S34 shown in FIG. 13). The authentication result is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the operating company server 30 via the network 50 (step S35).

  In the operating company server 30, the control unit 34 receives the authentication result transmitted from the introducing company server 40 at the communication unit 31 (step S36), and when user authentication is obtained (step S37; Yes), The used flag and the number of acquired points corresponding to the URL accessed by the mobile communication terminal 20-j are read from the two-dimensional code DB 331 (step S38), and it is determined whether or not the used flag is on (step). S39).

  Here, when the user authentication cannot be obtained (step S37; No), or when the used flag is on (step S39; Yes), the control unit 26 sends a point addition failure notification from the communication unit 31 to the network 50. Is transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 20-j (step S40).

  Then, in the mobile communication terminal 20-j, after the control unit 26 receives the point addition impossibility notification transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 20-j (step S41), it is determined that the acquired points could not be added. After the point addition impossible screen shown is displayed on the display unit 22 (step S42), the point addition process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the used flag is off (step S39; No), the control unit 26 transmits the number of acquired points read in step S38 from the communication unit 31 to the introducing company server 40 via the network 50. (Step S43).

  In the introduction company server 40, the control unit 43 receives the number of acquired points transmitted from the operation company server 30 in the communication unit 41 (step S44 shown in FIG. 14), and the login ID received in the process of step S33. The point balance and point history corresponding to the password or individual number are read from the member DB 421 (step S45). Subsequently, the control unit 43 adds the number of acquired points received in the process of step S44 to the point balance read from the member DB 421 to update the point balance (step S46) and update the point history. (Step S47), a point update completion notification for notifying that the update of the number of points has been completed is transmitted from the communication unit 41 to the operating company server 30 via the network 50 (Step S48).

  In the operating company server 30, when the control unit 34 receives the point update completion notification transmitted from the introducing company server 40 at the communication unit 31 (step S49), the used flag read from the two-dimensional code DB 331 is turned on.
