It is transmitted to the electronic receipt server 4. That is, the electronic receipt server 4 can be used as proof of purchase of the product by collecting the transaction data used as the condition for accepting the donation. In addition, the electronic receipt server 4 uses the transaction data collected in this way as information regarding the donation amount for the donation project. That is, the electronic receipt server 4 counts the subtotal amount of the corresponding product, the number of sales, or a part of the total amount of one transaction as the donation amount.

  In this way, when the icon 82 is selected and operated, the mobile terminal 7 outputs the transaction data associated with the donation acceptance icons 77 to 79 and the information regarding the donation application to the electronic receipt server 4. Therefore, the member can easily participate in the donation activity by simply operating the icon. That is, it is an important factor that members can easily participate in a donation when they are collectively seeking donations at stores and affiliated stores. Conventionally, a donation campaign that is generally performed from the mobile terminal 7 often requires a task of inputting personal information when making a donation, which is complicated and difficult to participate in. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, individual customers can easily participate in the donation campaign with one click, and it is easy to collect donations.

  The mobile terminal 7 may accept the donation application without going through the confirmation screen 80. That is, in the above description, when the icons 77 to 79 in FIG. 9 are selected and operated, the confirmation screen 80 (see FIG. 10) is displayed next, and further the selection operation of the icon 82 is required. As another example, the mobile terminal 7 may accept the donation application as soon as the icons 77 to 79 are selected.

(3-4) Donation destination selection screen example FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a selection screen 81 for selecting a donation destination. On the selection screen 81, a plurality of donation projects are displayed in a selectable manner. For example, in FIG. 11, the icons 84 to 86 are associated with different donation projects. When the receiving unit 83 receives the selection operation of any one of the icons 84 to 86, the transmitting/receiving unit 81 causes the information indicating the donation plan associated with the icon (that is, the information indicating the donation destination), The member information stored in the storage unit 75 is transmitted to the electronic receipt server 4. In addition, the transmission/reception unit 81 also transmits transaction data related to the donation application conditions to the electronic receipt server 4. For example, the transmission/reception unit 81 uses the electronic receipt (see FIG. 9) to display product information such as the product code, number, and transaction amount of the product to which the donation icon (one of the icons 77 to 79) is attached, and the transaction date. , Transaction data indicating a transaction store or the like is output.

  In addition, when any one of the icons 84 to 86 is selected, the confirmation screen showing the information regarding the donation may be displayed instead of transmitting the information regarding the donation immediately. The configuration is not particularly limited, but the confirmation screen 80 shown in FIG. 10 may be used, for example.

(3-5) Example of Donation Achievement Screen FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a screen displaying the donation achievement. After the donation application, the display control unit 82 causes the display unit 73 to display a donation performance screen 96 showing the cumulative total (actual amount) of donations so far applied by the member. The display control unit 82 displays on the donation achievement screen 96, information 97 indicating the donation content and the donation achievement, and an image 98 indicating the donation achievement. As the image 98, an illustration that abstractly shows the donation history may be displayed, or a photograph or video of the actual donation content may be displayed. Further, the donation achievement screen 96 is provided with an icon 99 for further displaying detailed information of donation. When the reception unit 83 receives the selection operation of the icon 99, the display control unit 82 displays the detailed information of the donation on the display unit 73. In addition, when the icon 99 is selected and operated, a web page showing the donation result may be accessed.

(4) System Operation Example Next, a procedure of electronic receipt generation processing and registration processing executed by the electronic receipt system will be described. FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram illustrating an example of a procedure of electronic receipt generation processing and registration processing executed by the electronic receipt system.

When the selection operation is accepted (step S13: Yes), the display control unit 82 pops up the confirmation screen 80 (see FIG. 10) or the selection screen 81 (see FIG. 11) on the display screen of the electronic receipt (step S14). ).

  When the icon 82 is selected on the confirmation screen 80 (step S15: Yes), the transmitting/receiving unit 81 displays the member information such as the member code, the donation information indicating the donation amount, and the transaction data regarding the donation acceptance condition. It is transmitted to the electronic receipt server 4 (step S16). Alternatively, when any one of the icons 84 to 86 is selected on the selection screen 81 (step S15: Yes), the same processing as step S16 is performed. After that, the process shifts to B in the figure, and the start screen (see FIG. 8) is displayed or the application is ended according to the operation of the return button, the home button, or the like of the mobile terminal 7. Also in the case of step S13: No or step S15: No, it transfers to B in the figure and performs the same processing as the above.

  The receiving unit 51 of the electronic receipt server 4 receives the member information, the donation information, and the transaction data from the mobile terminal 7 (step S16). The donation information management unit 52 associates the member information with the donation information and registers them in the member-based cumulative storage unit 47, and updates the cumulative amount of money for each member (step S17). That is, the donation information management unit 52 adds the current amount of donation included in the donation information to the cumulative amount of the member code, and updates the cumulative amount of money that the member has donated to the donation project so far.

  In addition, the donation information management unit 52 totals the total donation amount using the electronic receipt issued in the store or in all affiliated stores based on the information received by each member in step S16. That is, the donation information management unit 52 adds the donation amount of one member to the total donation amount for each donation plan, totals the donated amount donated by each member for the donation plan, and stores it in the plan-specific storage unit 46. Yes (step S18).

  Then, when the period of the donation plan ends, the donation information management unit 52 reads out the total amount of donation for each plan from the plan-based storage unit 46 and applies to the sponsoring company for participation in the plan (step S19). The project management server 6 of the sponsoring company uses the information transmitted from the electronic receipt server 4 to accept the application for the donation project (step S20).

  In addition, the donation information management unit 52 of the electronic receipt server 4 records information on the donation performance of the donation plan actually applied for in the plan-based storage unit 46 and updates the data in the plan-based storage unit 46 ( Step S21). The electronic receipt server 4 may automatically update the display of the Web page displaying the donation record using the data. In a case where a donation acceptance period is regularly provided, the electronic receipt server 4 performs the above-described processing procedure for each planning implementation period.

  Next, the procedure of the browsing process of the contribution record for each member, which is executed by the electronic receipt system, will be described. FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram showing an example of a procedure of browsing the donation record for each member, which is executed by the electronic receipt system.

  When the reception unit 83 of the mobile terminal 7 receives the selection operation of the icon 86 (see FIG. 8) for browsing the donation history, the transmission/reception unit 81 makes a browsing inquiry to the electronic receipt server 4 (step S30). It should be noted that at the time of inquiry about browsing, the transmitting/receiving unit 81 reads the member code from the storage unit 75 and transmits it.

  The receiving unit 51 of the electronic receipt server 4 receives the browsing inquiry from the mobile terminal 7 (step S30). The donation information management unit 52 reads out the donation information of the member code for which a browsing inquiry has been made from the member-based cumulative storage unit 47, generates display data, and sends it to the mobile terminal 7 (step S31). The transmitter/receiver 81 of the mobile terminal 7 receives the display data. Then, the display control unit 82 displays the donation achievement screen 96 (see FIG. 12) on the display unit 73 based on the received display data (step S32).
