The information terminal 12 functions as a consumer information terminal device. Each information terminal 12 is connected to the network 13 by using wireless communication. The network 13 connects the center server 11 and each information terminal 12 freely in both directions. The network 13 is, for example, the Internet.

The center server 11 is a computer system that plays a central role in the data processing system 1, and is installed in a data center or the like. The center server 11 may be constructed in a cloud computing environment. The center server 11 functions as a data processing device. The center server 11 connects to a plurality of POS terminals 3 via the network 2. The POS terminal 3 is installed at a retail store that is a member of a predetermined service. The POS terminal 3 may be connected to the network 2 via a server of a retail store (not shown). The network 2 is, for example, an intranet. The network 2 may be the Internet.

The POS terminal 3 registers and processes sales data of products purchased by consumers. Then, the POS terminal 3 generates purchase data for each transaction unit based on the sales data of the registered product. The retail store server or center server 11 may generate purchase data based on the product sales data registered by the POS terminal 3. The purchase data includes purchased product data such as a product code, classification code, product name, price, points, and amount of products purchased by consumers. The purchase data also includes transaction identification data such as store name, transaction date and time, and transaction amount. Incidentally, the product code is a code unique to the product, and a unique product code is set for each product. The classification code is a code for identifying the classification of products. The classification of products may be a rough classification such as meat, fresh fish, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, household goods, etc., and for meat, for example, a fine classification such as beef, pork, chicken, etc. may be used. A unique classification code is set for each classification.

Further, the POS terminal 3 includes a user ID reading device. The user ID is unique identification information that identifies a consumer who has registered as a member of a predetermined service. The user ID is printed in the form of a barcode on a membership card provided to the consumer, for example, when the consumer registers as a member for a predetermined service. In this case, the barcode scanner becomes the user ID reader. The user ID is stored in the memory chip of the IC card (membership card) provided to the consumer, for example, when the consumer registers as a member for a predetermined service. In this case, the IC card reader serves as a user ID reader. The medium holding the user ID and the reading device thereof are not limited to the above.

The transaction identification data and purchased product data generated by each POS terminal 3 are transmitted to the center server 11 via the network 2 together with the user ID read by the POS terminal 3, and are stored in the purchasing database 52. The record R2 stored in the purchase database 52 is deleted after a certain period of time, for example. In this case, the purchase database 52 stores the purchase data (transaction identification data, purchased product data) of the consumer who purchased the product at the store within the latest fixed period. The retention period of purchase data is not particularly limited.

FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram showing the main data structures of the record R3 stored in the operator database 53. Record R3 includes data items such as a business ID, a business name, and a forwarding address. The business operator ID is a unique code set for each business operator. The business name is the name of the business specified by the business ID. The business ID and the business name are third identification information that identifies the requester who requests the provision of purchase data. The third identification information may be either a business ID or a business name. The transfer destination address is the second destination information indicating the destination of the business operator system 4 of the business operator specified by the business operator ID. The forwarding address is information necessary for the center server 11 to identify the business operator system 4 that requests purchase data. The transfer destination address is information necessary for the information terminal 12 to transfer the purchase data to the business operator system 4. The transfer destination address is, for example, a communication address on the network 13 set in the operator system 4, a unique ID (application ID) associated with the application installed in the operator system 4, device information, an e-mail address, or the like. Including.

Therefore, next, the operation of the center server 11 by this purchase data processing program will be described.

FIG. 7 shows a flow chart showing the main processing procedures of the processor 111 according to the purchase data processing program. The contents of the processes shown in FIG. 7 and described below are examples. As long as similar results can be obtained, the processing procedure and processing content are not particularly limited.

First, the processor 111 determines whether or not the first request command for requesting purchase data has been received (Act1). When it becomes necessary for the business operator system 4 which is a third party to receive the purchase data, the business operator system 4 transmits the first request command to the center server 11. The first request command is the first data requesting the provision of purchase data of the consumer. The first request command includes at least one of the third identification information that identifies the business operator of the business operator system 4, that is, the business operator ID and the business operator name. The first request command transmitted from the operator system 4 is received by the center server 11 via the network 13.

When the processor 111 receives the first request command via the second communication I / F 116 (Act1, YES), the processor 111 uses the business operator database 53 based on the business operator ID or the business operator name included in the first request command. The search is performed, and for example, the record R3 in which the business operator ID included in the first request command is set is read. Then, the processor 111 reads data (business name, transfer destination address, etc.) from the record R3 and stores it in a predetermined area of the main memory 112. On the other hand, if neither the business ID or the business name included in the first request command is found from the information in the business database 53, the processor 111 uses the new business for the first request command. Judge. The processor 111 extracts the business operator ID, the business operator name, and the transfer destination address included in the first request command, and registers them in the business operator database 53. The processor 111 further stores the business operator ID, the business operator name, and the transfer destination address included in the first request command in a predetermined area of the main memory 112 (Act2).
The processor 111 searches the consumer database 51 and sequentially reads the record R1. Then, each time the processor 111 reads the record R1, the processor 111 controls the second communication I / F 116 so as to transmit the request notification command based on the terminal address (first destination information) of the record R1 (Act3). By this control, the second communication I / F 116 transmits a request notification command to the terminal address of each record R1 via the network 13. The request notification command approves or denies the consumer's provision of his / her purchase data to the consumer in response to a request from another third party to provide the consumer's purchase data. It is confirmation data for confirming. The request notification command includes, for example, a business operator name stored in the main memory 112 as identification information indicating a business operator requesting the provision of purchase data of consumers. The request notification command may further include the forwarding address of the business operator as the destination of the purchase data.

The request notification command is received by the information terminal 12 corresponding to the terminal address. The information terminal 12 that has received the request notification command executes the process of the procedure shown in the flow chart of FIG. This process is executed based on the purchase data providing program. The contents of the processes shown in FIG. 8 and described below are examples. As long as similar results can be obtained, the processing procedure and processing content are not particularly limited.

The processor 121 of the information terminal 12 determines the presence / absence of the request notification command (Act 21). When the processor 121 detects the reception of the request notification command via the wireless unit 125 (Act21, YES), the processor 121 inquires about the approval or disapproval of the consumer's own purchase data transfer request based on the received request notification command. (See FIG. 9) is displayed on the touch panel 124 (Act 22).

FIG. 9 is a display example of the image SC1. The image SC1 includes a message M1 inquiring whether to approve or reject the purchase data transfer request, a "Yes" button B1 selected by the consumer when approving, and a "Yes" button B1 selected by the consumer when denying. Includes "No" button B2. In the {XXX} part of the message M1, the business name included in the request notification command is displayed.

The consumer who confirmed the image SC1 decides whether or not to provide the purchase data to the business operator whose name is the business operator who is the requester. Then, if it is provided, the "Yes" button B1 is input, and if it is not provided, the "No" button B2 is input.

Processor 121 awaits input of approval or denial by the consumer (Act23). When the processor 121 determines that the "No" button B2 has been input (Act23, NO), the processor 121 wirelessly transmits a response command including denial data indicating denial to the request for providing purchase data to the center server 11. Control unit 125 (Act 38). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a response command to the communication address of the center server 11 included as the source address in the request notification command.

On the other hand, when the processor 121 determines that the "Yes" button B1 has been input (Act23, YES), the processor 121 sends a response command including approval data indicating approval to the request for providing purchase data to the center server 11. Controls the radio unit 125 (Act24). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a response command to the communication address of the center server 11 included as the source address in the request notification command.

In Act 3, the processor 111 of the center server 11 that controls the transmission of the request notification command determines whether or not the response command has been received from the information terminal 12 that has transmitted the request notification command (Act 4). Each time the processor 111 receives a response command from the information terminal 12 via the second communication I / F 116 (Act 4, YES), the processor 111 repeatedly executes the following processing.

That is, the processor 111 confirms whether the response command including the approval data has been received or the response command including the denial data has been received (Act 5). When the processor 111 determines that the denial data has been received (Act5, NO), the processor 111 ends the process for the information terminal 12 that replied the denial data.

When the processor 111 determines that the approval data has been received (Act 5, YES), the processor 111 creates the display data of the purchase history list (Act 6). That is, the processor 111 extracts the purchase data of the purchase database 52 based on the terminal address of the information terminal 12 included as the source address in the approval data. For example, the processor 111 searches the purchasing database 52 based on the user ID associated with the terminal address. The processor 111 extracts all the purchase data associated with the user ID to be searched, arranges the transaction identification data of the extracted purchase data in the order of transaction date and time, for example, and creates display data of the purchase history list. When the purchase data is stored in association with the terminal address of the information terminal 12, the processor 111 may extract the associated purchase data based on the terminal address.

The processor 111 controls the second communication I / F 116 so as to notify that the display data of the purchase history list has been created (Act 7). By this control, the second communication I / F 116 transmits the notification command of the purchase history list via the network 13 based on the terminal address of the information terminal 12 included as the source address in the approval data. This notification command includes information associated with the display data of the purchase history list created in the process of Act6. The information is, for example, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that specifies the resource location of the display data of the purchase history list. The notification command of the purchase history list is received by the information terminal 12 corresponding to the terminal address to which the notification command is addressed. The processor 111 may control the second communication I / F 116 so as to transmit the display data of the purchase history list to the information terminal 12.

In Act 24, the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 that controls the transmission of the approval response listens for the notification command of the display data of the purchase history list (Act 25). When the processor 121 receives the notification command of the purchase history list display data via the wireless unit 125 (Act25, YES), the processor 121 receives the purchase history list image SC2 (FIG. 10) associated with the information included in the notification command. (See) is displayed on the touch panel 124 (Act26).

FIG. 10 is a display example of the image SC2. The image SC2 displays a purchase history list LST consisting of the store name of the transaction identification data, the transaction date and time, and the transaction amount. Further, the check boxes CB1 to CB5 and the detail buttons B31 to B35 are displayed in association with each line of the purchase history list LST. Further, the send button B4 is displayed.

The consumer who confirmed the image SC2 determines whether or not the purchase data specified by the data may be provided to the business operator for each transaction identification data. Then, the check boxes CB1 to CB5 are selected and checked for the data that may be provided. Then, the consumer inputs the send button B4. When there is transaction identification data that cannot be determined whether to be provided, the consumer inputs the detail buttons B31 to B35 associated with the transaction identification data.

The processor 121 displaying the image SC2 on the touch panel 124 confirms whether or not the transmission button B4 has been input (Act 27). When the transmit button B4 is not input (Act27, NO), the processor 121 confirms whether or not the detail buttons B31 to B35 are input (Act28). The processor 121 returns to Act27 when the detail buttons B31 to B35 are not input (Act28, NO). Here, the processor 121 waits for the transmission button B4 or the detail buttons B31 to B35 to be input in the Act 27 and the Act 28.

In this standby state, when the processor 121 detects that the detail buttons B31 to B35 have been input (Act28, YES), the processor 121 of the purchase data identified by the transaction identification data associated with the detail buttons B31 to B35. The radio unit 125 is controlled to transmit the detailed request to the center server 11 (Act 29). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a detailed request command to the communication address of the center server 11. The detail request command includes transaction identification data associated with the input detail buttons B31 to B35.

In Act 7, the processor 111 of the center server 11 that has transmitted the notification command of the purchase history list to the information terminal 12 listens for the response command from the information terminal 12 of the notification destination (Act 8). When the processor 111 receives the response command from the information terminal 12 via the second communication I / F 116 (Act8, YES), the processor 111 confirms whether or not the response command is a detailed request command (Act9). When the response command is a detailed request command (Act9, YES), the processor 111 creates display data of purchase data (Act10). That is, the processor 111 searches the purchase database 52 with the transaction identification data included in the detailed response command, and acquires the record R2 in which the transaction identification data matches. Then, the processor 111 creates the display data of the purchase data based on the purchase data of the record R2.

The processor 111 controls the second communication I / F 116 to notify that the display data of the purchase data has been created (Act 11). By this control, the second communication I / F 116 transmits a notification command of display data of purchase data via the network 13 based on the terminal address of the information terminal 12 set as the source address in the detailed request command. To do. This notification command includes information associated with the display data of the purchase data created in the Act10 process. The information is, for example, a URL that specifies the resource location of the display data of the purchase data. The processor 111 that has notified the display data of the purchase data returns to Act8. That is, the processor 111 waits for the next response command from the information terminal 12. The processor 111 may control the second communication I / F 116 in Act 11 so as to transmit the display data of the purchase data to the information terminal 12.

In Act 29, the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 that has transmitted the detailed request command listens for the notification command of the display data of the purchase data (Act 30). When the processor 121 receives the notification command of the display data of the purchase data via the wireless unit 125 (Act30, YES), the image SC3 of the purchase data associated with the information included in the notification command (see FIG. 11). Is displayed on the touch panel 124 (Act31).

FIG. 11 is a display example of the image SC3. The image SC3 displays the store name, transaction date and time, and transaction amount of the transaction identification data included in the purchase data, and the product name, price, and points of the purchase product data included in the purchase data. In addition, the confirmation button B5 is displayed.
The consumer who confirmed the detailed contents of the purchase data from the image SC3 inputs the confirmation button B5.

The processor 121 waits for the confirmation button B5 to be input (Act 32). When the processor 121 detects that the confirmation button B5 has been input (Act32, YES), the processor 121 returns to Act26. That is, the processor 121 causes the touch panel 124 to display the image SC2 of the purchase history list again.

On the other hand, the consumer who confirms the image SC2 of the purchase history list and checks the check boxes CB1 to CB5 of the purchase data determined to be provided to the business operator inputs the send button B4.

When the processor 121 detects that the send button B4 has been input in the standby state of Act27 and Act28 (Act27, YES), the processor 121 confirms whether or not there is purchase data permitted to be provided to the business operator (Act33). .. Specifically, the processor 121 confirms whether or not any of the check boxes CB1 to CB5 is checked. If all the check boxes CB1 to CB5 are not checked, there is no purchase data permitted to be provided to the business operator. In this case (Act 33, NO), the processor 121 controls the radio unit 125 to transmit a response command including denial data to the center server 11 (Act 38). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a response command to the communication address of the center server 11 set as the source address in the notification command of the image of the purchase transaction list.

On the other hand, when at least one check box CB1 to CB5 is checked, it is permitted to provide the business operator with purchase data including transaction identification data associated with the check boxes CB1 to CB5. In this case (Act 33, YES), the processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transmit the request response of the purchase data to the center server 11 (Act 34). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a request / response command for purchasing data to the communication address of the center server 11. This request response command includes transaction identification data associated with the checked check boxes CB1 to CB5.

In Act9, when the response command from the information terminal 12 is not a detailed request command (Act9, NO), the processor 111 confirms whether or not it is a request response command for purchase data (Act12). If the processor 111 is not a request / response command for purchase data, that is, a response command that includes denial data (Act12, NO), the processor 111 ends processing for the information terminal 12 at the command transmission destination.

On the other hand, when the processor 111 is a request response command for purchase data (Act12, YES), the processor 111 searches the purchase database 52 based on all the transaction identification data selected by the consumer included in the request response command. .. Then, the processor 111 extracts the record R2 including the same transaction identification data, and acquires the purchase data of the record, that is, the transaction identification data and the purchased product data (Act 13).

Further, the processor 111 generates a serial number (second identification information) having a random predetermined number of digits and stores it in the consumer database 51 (Act 14). Specifically, the processor 111 operates a random number generation program to generate a predetermined number of numbers in order, and sets the serial number. The center server 11 is provided with a hardware random number generator, and the random number generated from this random number generator may be used as the serial number. The processor 111 sets the generated serial number as pair data together with the current date measured by the clock 114, that is, the data of the creation date. Then, the processor 111 searches the consumer database 51 with the terminal address of the information terminal 12 set as the source address in the request response command of the purchase data, and records the record R1 including the same terminal address with the serial number and the date. Add the paired data with (creation date). When the user ID is used as the terminal address, or when the request response command includes the user ID, the processor 111 searches the consumer database 51 with the user ID and sets the record R1 including the same user ID. , The pair data of serial number and date (creation date) should be added.

The processor 111 acquires the transfer destination address stored in the main memory 122 (Act15). Then, the processor 111 transmits the purchase data acquired from the purchase database 52 and the transfer destination address together with the serial number generated by Act 14 to the information terminal 12 which is the source of the request response command. / F116 is controlled (Act16). By this control, the second communication I / F 116 connects the line to the information terminal 12 which is the source of the request response command via the network, and transfers the purchase data, the transfer destination address, and the serial number to the information terminal 12. Send (download) to. The forwarding address of the business operator as the destination of the purchase data should be transmitted to the information terminal 12 together with at least one of the request notification command of Act3, the notification command of Act7 and Act11, and the purchase data of Act15. Just do it.

By finishing the processing of Act 16, the processor 111 ends the processing according to the purchase data processing program.

In Act 34, the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 that has transmitted the purchase data request response command waits for the purchase data to be received (Act 35). When the processor 121 receives the purchase data via the wireless unit 125 (Act35, YES), the processor 121 acquires the received transfer destination address and serial number together with the purchase data (Act36). Then, the processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transfer the purchase data and the serial number to the business operator system 4 identified by the transfer destination address (Act 37). That is, the processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transmit the purchase data and the serial number based on the transfer destination address. By this control, the purchase data is transmitted from the information terminal 12 to the business operator system 4 whose destination information is the transfer destination address via the network 13 together with the serial number. At this time, the processor 121 does not transmit the user ID to the operator system 4. By completing the processing of Act 37, the processor 121 ends the processing according to the purchase data providing program.

In addition to the purchase data processing program described above, the center server 11 stores application software, so-called benefit processing program, which executes processing for providing benefits to the consumer who provided the purchase data, in the main memory 112 or auxiliary storage. It is installed on device 113. Therefore, next, the operation of the center server 11 by this benefit processing program will be described.

FIG. 12 shows a flow chart showing the main processing procedures of the processor 111 according to the benefit processing program. The contents of the processes shown in FIG. 12 and described below are examples. As long as similar results can be obtained, the processing procedure and processing content are not particularly limited.

First, the processor 111 determines whether or not a second request command for imparting a benefit has been received (Act 41). When the second request command is not received (Act 41, NO), the processor 111 determines whether or not the date clocked by the clock 114 has been updated to the next day (Act 42). The processor 111 returns to Act 41 if the date has not been updated the next day (Act 42, NO). Here, the processor 121 waits for the second request command to be received or the date to be updated in Act 41 and Act 42.

When the business operator system 4 which is a third party receives the purchase data from the consumer, the business operator system 4 sends the center server 11 to the center server 11 in order to give a benefit to the consumer who provided the purchase data. 2 Send the request command. The second request command is data (second data) for notifying the center server 11 to give benefits, for example, points to the consumer who provided the purchase data. The second request command includes the serial number. The serial number is the second identification information transferred from the information terminal 12 together with the purchase data. The second request command may include at least one of the business ID and the business name that identifies the business of the business system 4. The second request command transmitted from the operator system 4 is received by the center server 11 via the network 13.

When the processor 111 detects the reception of the second request command via the second communication I / F 116 (Act 41, YES), the processor 111 acquires the serial number included in the second request command (Act 43). The processor 111 searches the consumer database 51 by the acquired serial number (Act44). Processor 111 determines the presence or absence of a record R1 that includes the same serial number (Act 45).

When the processor 111 cannot detect the record R1 including the same serial number as the acquired serial number from the consumer database 51 (Act45, NO), the processor 111 ends the processing for the benefit request command.

When the processor 111 can detect the record R1 including the same serial number as the acquired serial number from the consumer database 51 (Act45, YES), the processor 111 adds a predetermined service point to the point data of the detected record R1. (Act46). The center server 11 stores the setting data in which the service points to be given to the consumer are set in advance in the auxiliary storage device 113. For example, the default service point is 1 point. In addition, the service points given to consumers may be set for each business operator requesting purchase data. For example, the record R3 of the business database 53 may store the value of the service point given to the consumer who provided the purchase data in association with any of the business ID, the business name, and the transfer destination address. Alternatively, the second request command may include a service point set by a third party. If the second request command includes the value of a service point, processor 111 may add that service point. The processor 111 deletes the serial number and the data of the creation date paired with the serial number from the record R1 (Act 47). With the above, the processor 111 ends the process for the second request command.

On the other hand, when the processor 111 detects that the date has been updated (Act 42, YES), the processor 111 acquires the updated (current) date from the clock 114 (Act 48). Further, the processor 111 sequentially extracts the record R51 from the consumer database 51 (Act 49). Then, each time the processor 111 extracts the record R51, it confirms whether or not the record R51 contains the paired data of the serial number and the creation date (Act 50).

When the record R51 includes a pair of data between the serial number and the creation date (Act50, YES), the processor 111 calculates the period d from the creation date of the pair data to the date after the update (Act51). .. The processor 111 confirms whether or not the period d exceeds a preset predetermined period D (Act 52). The predetermined period D is a grace period provided for waiting for receiving the second request command from the business operator who has received the transfer of the purchase data. The predetermined period D is, for example, the number of days or hours. When the period d exceeds the predetermined period D (Act 52, YES), the processor 111 deletes the pair data of the serial number and the creation date from the record R51 (Act 53). When the record R51 contains a plurality of paired data of the serial number and the creation date, the processor 111 executes the processes of Act51 to Act53 for each paired data.

The processor 111 checks whether or not the next record R51 exists in the consumer database 51 (Act 54). In the Act 52, the processor 111 does not exceed the predetermined period D (Act 52, NO), or in the Act 50, the record R51 does not include the paired data of the serial number and the creation date (Act 50, NO). ), Proceed to the process of Act54 in the same manner (Act54). The processor 111 returns to Act49 if the next record exists (Act54, YES). Then, the processor 111 executes the processing of Act49 to Act54 again.

When the next record R51 does not exist in the consumer database 51 (Act54, NO), the processor 111 ends the process for updating the date.

In this way, when the processor 111 of the center server 11 receives the purchase data request command from the business operator system 4, the processor 111 transmits the request notification command to the information terminal 12 of each consumer. When the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 receives the request notification command from the center server 11, the processor 121 causes the touch panel 124 to display an image SC1 asking for approval or disapproval of the purchase data transfer request. Here, when the consumer of the information terminal 12 performs an operation of approving the transfer of the purchase data, the processor 121 transmits a response command including the approval data to the center server 11.

When the processor 111 of the center server 11 receives the response command including the approval data from the information terminal 12, the processor 111 acquires the purchase data of the consumer who is the user of the information terminal 12 from the purchase database 52. Further, the processor 111 generates a serial number having a random predetermined number of digits. Further, the processor 111 acquires the transfer destination address of the operator system that has transmitted the request command. Then, the processor 111 transmits the purchase data, the transfer destination address, and the serial number to the information terminal 12 that has transmitted the response command.

When the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 receives the purchase data, the transfer destination address, and the serial number from the center server 11, the processor 121 transfers the purchase data together with the serial number to the business operator system 4 specified by the transfer destination address. To do.

Therefore, in the business operator system 4 that has transmitted the first request command for requesting the purchase data to the center server 11, the purchase data approved by the consumer can be acquired via the consumer's information terminal 12.

Further, the business operator system 4 receives the serial number together with the purchase data. Then, when the business operator system 4 transmits the second request command for giving the consumer a benefit to the center server 11, the business operator system 4 includes the serial number in the second request command. The serial number is a random number string generated by the center server 11. The serial number is provided to the business operator system 4 via the information terminal 12 together with the purchase data.

On the other hand, the center server 11 stores the serial number in association with at least one of the user ID and the terminal address of the consumer who has approved the transfer of the purchase data. Then, when the processor 111 of the center server 11 receives the second request command from the operator system 4, the processor 111 adds a predetermined service point to the point data of the user ID associated with the serial number included in the second request command. To do. That is, the consumer who provided the purchase data is given a benefit.

By the way, in the present embodiment, the serial number is used as the data for identifying the consumer who provided the purchase data. The serial number is a temporary number created when the purchase data is transferred from the information terminal 12 to the business operator system 4, and then deleted after a predetermined period D has elapsed at the latest. Moreover, there is no regularity in the serial number. Therefore, even if a third party can know the serial number, it is not possible to identify the consumer who transferred the purchase data from the serial number.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the data processing system 1 capable of giving benefits to the consumer who provided the purchase data without the consumer being identified by a third party, and the center server 11 of this system. In addition, the information terminal 12 can be provided.

In the present embodiment, an example in which a serial number is generated when a request response command is received in Act 12 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. The serial number may be generated based on an instruction from the consumer information terminal 12. The serial number may be generated, for example, when the first request command is received in Act1 or when the approval data is received in Act5. Further, the generated serial number may be transmitted to the information terminal 12 together with any one of the request notification command of Act3, the notification command of Act7 and Act11, and the purchase data of Act15.

In the first embodiment, an example in which the center server 11 generates a serial number has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. The serial number may be generated by another device, for example, the information terminal 12.

[Second Embodiment]
The second embodiment illustrates a data processing system 1 in which a serial number is generated by an information terminal 12.
In the second embodiment, the hardware configuration of the data processing system 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Further, the processing procedure of the processor 111 of the center server 11 according to the benefit processing program is the same as that of the first embodiment. On the other hand, in the processing procedure of the processor 111 of the center server 11 according to the purchase data processing program, a part of the processing after Act 14 is different from the first embodiment. Further, the processing procedure of the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 according to the data providing program is different from that of the first embodiment in a part of the processing after the determination of "YES" in Act33. Therefore, in the following description of the second embodiment, the parts common to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure after the processing procedure of the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 according to the data providing program is determined to be “YES” by Act 33. That is, when the processor 121 detects that the transmission button B4 is input in the standby state of Act27 and Act28 (Act27, YES), the processor 121 confirms the presence or absence of purchase data permitted to be provided to the business operator (Act33). ). Then, when at least one check box CB1 to CB5 is checked (Act33, YES), the processor 121 generates a serial number (second identification information) having a random predetermined number of digits (Act61). Specifically, the processor 121 operates a random number generation program to generate a predetermined number of numbers in order, and sets the serial number. The information terminal 12 is provided with a hardware random number generator, and the random number generated from this random number generator may be used as the serial number.

The processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transmit the request response of the purchase data to the center server 11 together with the serial number (Act 62). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a request / response command for purchasing data to the communication address of the center server 11. This request response command includes transaction identification data and a serial number associated with the checked check boxes CB1 to CB5.

In Act 12 of FIG. 7, the processor 111 of the center server 11 that has received the request response command of the purchase data searches the purchase database 52 based on all the transaction identification data selected by the consumer included in the request response command. .. Then, the processor 111 extracts the record R2 including the same transaction identification data, and acquires the purchase data of the record, that is, the transaction identification data and the purchased product data (Act 13). Further, the processor 111 sets the serial number included in the request response command as a pair of data together with the data of the current date measured by the clock 114, that is, the creation date. Then, the processor 111 searches the consumer database 51 with the terminal address of the information terminal 12 set as the source address in the request response command of the purchase data, and records the record R1 including the same terminal address with the serial number and the date. Add the paired data with (creation date) (Act14).

The processor 111 acquires the transfer destination address stored in the main memory 122 (Act15). Then, the processor 111 transmits the purchase data acquired from the purchase database 52 and the transfer destination address together with the serial number acquired in Act 14 to the information terminal 12 which is the source of the request response command. / F116 is controlled (Act16). By this control, the second communication I / F 116 connects the line to the information terminal 12 which is the source of the request response command via the network, and the purchase data, the transfer destination address, and the serial number acquired from the purchase database 52. Is transmitted (downloaded) to the information terminal 12.

In Act 62, the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 that has transmitted the request response command for purchase data waits for the purchase data to be received (Act 63). When the processor 121 receives the purchase data via the wireless unit 125 (Act 63, YES), the processor 121 executes the same processing as in the Act 36 and Act 37 of the first embodiment. That is, the processor 121 acquires the received transfer destination address and serial number together with the purchase data (Act 36). Then, the processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transfer the purchase data and the serial number to the business operator system 4 identified by the transfer destination address (Act 37). When the serial number generated by the information terminal 12 is held, the processor 111 does not have to transmit the serial number acquired from the information terminal 12 to the information terminal 12. In this case, the processor 121 may transfer the serial number held by the information terminal 12 to the business operator system 4 together with the purchase data.

In the second embodiment that operates in this way, the same effects as those in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, in the second embodiment, since the center server 11 does not generate the serial number which is the temporary identification information, the load on the center server 11 can be reduced.

[Third Embodiment]
In the first and second embodiments, a third that stores temporary second identification information (serial number) associated with either the first identification information (user ID) or the first destination information (terminal address). The consumer database 51 was illustrated as a storage unit. The third embodiment exemplifies the data processing system 1 in which the third storage unit is another form.
In the third embodiment, the hardware configuration of the data processing system 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment. Further, the processing procedure of the processor 111 of the center server 11 according to the purchase data processing program is the same as the one in which the processing of Act 14 is omitted. On the other hand, the processing procedure of the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 according to the data providing program is different from that of the first embodiment in a part of the processing after the determination of "YES" in Act33. Further, the processing procedure of the processor 111 of the center server 11 according to the benefit processing program is also partially different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, in the following description of the third embodiment, the parts common to the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure after the processing procedure of the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 according to the data providing program is determined to be “YES” by Act 33. That is, when the processor 121 detects that the transmission button B4 is input in the standby state of Act27 and Act28 (Act27, YES), the processor 121 confirms the presence or absence of purchase data permitted to be provided to the business operator (Act33). ). Then, when at least one check box CB1 to CB5 is checked (Act33, YES), the processor 121 generates a serial number (second identification information) having a random predetermined number of digits (Act71). Specifically, the processor 121 operates a random number generation program to generate a predetermined number of numbers in order, and sets the serial number. The information terminal 12 is provided with a hardware random number generator, and the random number generated from this random number generator may be used as the serial number.

The processor 121 controls the radio unit 125 so as to transmit the request response of the purchase data to the center server 11 (Act 72). By this control, the wireless unit 125 transmits a request / response command for purchasing data to the communication address of the center server 11. This request response command includes transaction identification data associated with the checked check boxes CB1 to CB5. However, in the third embodiment, the serial number is not included in the request response command.

In Act 12 of FIG. 7, the processor 111 of the center server 11 that has received the request response command of the purchase data searches the purchase database 52 based on all the transaction identification data selected by the consumer included in the request response command. .. Then, the processor 111 extracts the record R2 including the same transaction identification data, and acquires the purchase data of the record, that is, the transaction identification data and the purchased product data (Act 13).

The processor 111 acquires the transfer destination address stored in the main memory 122 (Act15). Then, the processor 111 controls the second communication I / F 116 so as to transmit the purchase data acquired from the purchase database 52 and the transfer destination address to the information terminal 12 which is the source of the request response command (Act 16). .. By this control, the second communication I / F 116 connects the line to the information terminal 12 which is the source of the request response command via the network, and the purchase data acquired from the purchase database 52 and the transfer destination address are subjected to the information. Send (download) to the terminal 12.

In Act 72, the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 that has transmitted the request response command for purchase data waits for the purchase data to be received (Act 73). When the processor 121 receives the purchase data via the wireless unit 125 (Act73, YES), the processor 121 acquires the received transfer destination address together with the purchase data (Act74). Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the processor 121 creates a data table T that can store a user ID, a serial number, a transfer destination address, and a creation date. Then, the processor 121 sets the user ID stored in the main memory 112, the serial number generated in Act 71, and the transfer destination address acquired in Act 74 in the data table T (Act 75). If the information terminal 12 has a clock that clocks the current date and time, the date measured by the clock may be set in the data table T as the creation date.

The processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transfer the purchase data and the serial number to the business operator system 4 identified by the transfer destination address (Act76). Further, the processor 121 controls the wireless unit 125 so as to transmit the data table T to the center server 11 (Act77). By this control, the purchase data is transmitted from the information terminal 12 to the business operator system 4 whose destination information is the transfer destination address via the network 13 together with the serial number. Further, the data table T is transmitted from the information terminal 12 to the center server 11 via the network 13.

The processor 111 of the center server 11 that has received the data table T via the second communication I / F 116 stores the data table T in the auxiliary storage device 123. At this time, if the creation date is not set in the data table T, the processor 111 sets the date measured by the clock 114 as the creation date in the data table T.
Thus, in the third embodiment, the data table T functions as a third storage unit.

FIG. 16 shows a flow chart showing the main processing procedures of the processor 111 according to the benefit processing program. The same parts as those in FIG. 12 are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted.

That is, when the processor 111 detects the reception of the second request command for giving the benefit to the consumer who provided the purchase data via the second communication I / F 116 (Act41, YES), the second request command is sent. Acquire the included serial number and transfer destination address (Act81). The processor 111 searches the data table T stored in the auxiliary storage device 123 by its serial number and the transfer destination address (Act 82). The processor 111 determines the presence / absence of the data table T including the same serial number and the transfer destination address (Act83).

When the processor 111 cannot detect the data table T including the acquired serial number and transfer destination address, the same serial number, and the transfer destination address (Act83, NO), the processor 111 processes the benefit request command. To finish.

When the processor 111 can detect the data table T including the same serial number and the transfer destination address (Act83, YES), the processor 111 acquires the user ID from the data table T. Then, the processor 111 searches the consumer database 51 with the user ID and detects the record R1 in which the user ID is set (Act 84).

The processor 111 adds a predetermined service point to the point data of the record R1 in which the user ID is set (Act85). For example, the default service point is 1 point. If the request command includes a service point set by a third party, that service point may be added. The processor 111 deletes the data table T including the same serial number and the transfer destination address from the auxiliary storage device 123 (Act86). With the above, the processor 111 ends the processing for the benefit request command.

On the other hand, when the processor 111 detects that the date has been updated (Act 42, YES), the processor 111 acquires the updated date from the clock 114 (Act 91). Further, the processor 111 sequentially extracts the data table T from the auxiliary storage device 113 (Act 92). Then, the processor 111 calculates the period d from the creation date of the data table T to the date after the update (Act93). The processor 111 confirms whether or not the period d exceeds a preset predetermined period (for example, the number of days) D (Act94). When the period d exceeds the predetermined period D (Act94, YES), the processor 111 deletes the data table T from the auxiliary storage device 113 (Act95).

When the data table T is deleted or the period d does not exceed the predetermined period D (Act92, NO), the processor 111 confirms whether or not the next data table T exists in the auxiliary storage device 113 (Act96). .. The processor 111 returns to Act92 when the next data table T exists (Act96, YES). Then, the processor 111 executes the processing of Act92 to Act96 again.
When the next data table T does not exist in the auxiliary storage device 113 (Act96, NO), the processor 111 ends the process for updating the date.

In the third embodiment that operates in this way, the same effects as those in the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, in the third embodiment, the consumer database 51 does not require a capacity for storing the paired data of the serial number and the creation date for each record R1. Therefore, the storage capacity of the consumer database 51 can be saved. Further, the center server 11 stores the data table T received from each information terminal 12 in the auxiliary storage device 113, and deletes the data table T as appropriate. Therefore, the processing of the processor 111 is compared with the first or second embodiment in which the consumer database 51 is searched and the pair data of the serial number and the creation date is added or deleted to the corresponding record R1. The load is also reduced.

Hereinafter, a modified example of the embodiment will be described.
In each embodiment, the granting of service points is illustrated as a benefit to the consumer who provided the purchase data, but the type of benefit is not particularly limited. For example, it may be the issuance of a usage discount ticket for a facility related to the business operator who received the purchase data, the provision of a product, or the like.

In the first or second embodiment, when the corresponding record R1 can be detected from the consumer database 51 in the processing of the processor 111 according to the benefit processing program, the service points are added to the point data of the record R1 and then the service points are added. The pair data of the corresponding serial number and the creation date was deleted from the record R1. Since the paired data is automatically deleted when the number of days d elapsed from the creation date elapses from the predetermined period D, it is not necessary to delete the data after adding the service points. The same applies to the process of deleting the data table T in the third embodiment, and the data table T does not necessarily have to be deleted.

Further, the processor 111 adds a service point to the point data of the record R1, and then sends a message to the terminal address of the record R1 notifying that the benefit has been given by the business operator. Since the message is output to the information terminal 12 in which the terminal address is set, that is, the information terminal 12 of the consumer who provided the purchase data, the consumer who confirms the message sends the serial number to the center server 11. Notify the deletion of. Upon receiving this notification, the processor 111 of the center server 11 deletes the paired data of the serial number and the creation date from the record R1. Such a configuration may be adopted. Further, in this case, the processor 111 may delete the paired data after a predetermined period of time, instead of deleting the paired data immediately after receiving the notification of deletion. By providing a predetermined period, when a service point correction request is received from the business operator system 4, the correction can be reflected.

In each embodiment, the purchase data approved by the consumer is transferred to the business operator system 4 that requested the purchase data via the information terminal 12 used by the consumer. The procedure for transferring purchase data is not particularly limited. For example, the center server 11 may transfer the purchase data approved by the consumer to the business operator system 4. Further, in the third embodiment, the processor 121 of the information terminal 12 creates the data table T when the purchase data is transferred from the information terminal 12. Therefore, the center server 11 simultaneously downloads the purchase data of the consumers who use the information terminal 12 to the information terminal 12, and transfers the purchase data selected by the consumer from the purchase data to the business operator system 4. Even if such a procedure is adopted, the serial number of the data table T is notified to the operator system 4. Further, the data table T is transmitted to the center server 11. Therefore, the same effect as that of the third embodiment can be obtained.

In each embodiment, the images SC1, SC2, and SC3 described with reference to FIGS. 9 to 11 are merely examples. As long as the image has the same function, its layout or the like does not matter.
