JP6900013B2 - Point management device, operation method and program - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a point management device, an operation method, and a program for managing points given to the provision of goods and services.

In recent years, point cards have been issued in order to enhance the ability of stores to attract customers and promote sales. For example, in a major store group, terminals for giving points to all stores in the group are installed, while a dedicated server is installed at the headquarters of the store. Then, by connecting all the terminals of the group stores and the dedicated server with a communication line, the point card can be used at all the group stores.

In such a system using a point card, the user presents the point card when purchasing a product at the store. At the store, the ID of the point card is read, and new points corresponding to the amount of goods purchased by the user are added to the points of the corresponding ID to update the data. Then, when a certain amount of points are accumulated, the points are used to exchange the points for a desired product or to be satisfied as a part of the fee. According to such a system, the user has more opportunities to visit the store so as to increase the points, so that the ability to attract customers and the ability to promote sales can be improved (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Further, in the conventional point card system, a terminal such as a reader that reads an ID from the point card, a management server that manages points for each ID, and the like are required. For this reason, in small stores, instead of introducing a large-scale point card system, for example, a point card having a stamping column and a stamping column is issued, and the points are stamped or stamped according to the purchase amount of the product. It is also done.

Similarly, not only stores that sell products, but also stores in the service industry that provide various services such as beauty, hairdressing, and massage can issue point cards with a seal column, etc. to attract customers by giving similar points. We are promoting sales.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-175458

However, in the above-mentioned large-scale point card system, the method is simply to purchase products and accumulate points, so in the current situation where there are many large-scale group stores that have introduced similar point card systems, users In addition to the decline in the identification function for stores, the situation was that users lacked a sense of cheapness.

Further, it is difficult to introduce the point card system for, for example, a small store that cannot afford to build the above-mentioned large-scale point card system. On the other hand, with a point card that has a stamping column, a stamping column, etc., it is necessary to carry the point card each time, which is not easy for the user to use, and there is a problem that the ability to attract customers and sales promotion cannot be expected. ..

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an online point awarding system can be easily introduced into a small store by interposing not only between the store and the user but also the product seller. It is an object of the present invention to provide a point management device, an operation method, and a program capable of attracting customers and promoting sales more than ever.

In order to achieve the above object, the point management device of the present invention is used between a product seller, a primary user who purchases a product from the product seller, and a secondary user who receives services from the primary user. , It circulates points, and has a user registration unit, a point issuing unit, and a point updating unit. The points include the first point and the second point. The user registration unit assigns IDs to primary users and secondary users and registers them. The point issuing unit issues the first point to the primary user based on the ID, and issues the second point to the primary user and the secondary user according to the payment amount at the time of providing the product. The point update unit moves the first point and the second point with the purchase of the product and the provision of services between the product seller, the primary user and the secondary user, and updates each ID. When the primary user purchases the first point from the product seller, the point update unit updates the current first point of the primary user who purchases by adding the first point for the purchase payment. When the secondary user receives services from the primary user, the point update unit updates the current first point of the secondary user by adding the first point corresponding to the payment amount, and updates the primary point. Update by subtracting the first point of payment to the current first point of the user. When the secondary user pays the consideration for services or goods from the primary user in points, the point update unit updates by subtracting the points paid from the current points of the secondary user and updates the current points of the primary user. Add points for payment to and update.

When the primary user purchases a product from a product seller, the point update unit updates the current second point of the primary user who purchases the product by adding the second point corresponding to the purchase payment. When using the possessed points, it is preferable to subtract and update the used points.

When a secondary user purchases a product from a product seller, the point update unit gives a fixed ratio of second points corresponding to the purchase payment to each of the secondary user who purchases and the primary user who has registered the secondary user. It is preferable to distribute to, add, and update.

It is preferable that the point update unit displays the first point and the second point separately to the product seller and the primary user, and displays the total point of the first point and the second point to the secondary user.

Further, in the method of operating the point management device of the present invention, points are given between a product seller, a primary user who purchases a product from the product seller, and a secondary user who receives services from the primary user. It is a method of operating the point management device to be circulated, and causes the point management device to execute a user registration step, a point issuing step, and a point updating step. The point management program of the point management device of the present invention circulates points between a product seller, a primary user who purchases a product from the product seller, and a secondary user who receives services from the primary user. It is a point management program of the point management device to be operated, and the computer functions as a point management device by causing the computer to execute a user registration step, a point issuing step, and a point updating step. The points include the first point and the second point. In the user registration step, IDs are assigned to the primary user and the secondary user for registration. The point issuing step issues the first point to the primary user based on the ID, and issues the second point to the primary user and the secondary user according to the payment amount at the time of providing the product. In the point update step, the first point and the second point are moved along with the purchase of the product and the provision of services between the product seller, the primary user and the secondary user, and are updated for each ID. In the point update step, when the primary user purchases the first point from the product seller, the first point for the purchase payment is added to the current first point of the primary user to purchase and updated. In the point update step, when the secondary user receives the service provided by the primary user, the current first point of the secondary user is updated by adding the first point corresponding to the payment amount, and the primary user is updated. Update by subtracting the first point of payment to the current first point of the user. In the point update step, when the secondary user pays the consideration for services or goods from the primary user in points, the points for the payment are subtracted from the current points of the secondary user to update, and the current points of the primary user are updated. Add points for payment to and update.

Further, the point management device of the present invention may be a trader who sells products instead of the primary user providing services. The point management device in this case circulates points between the product seller, the primary user who purchases the product from the product seller, and the secondary user who purchases the product from the primary user. It has a user registration unit, a point issuing unit, and a point updating unit. The points include the first point and the second point. The user registration unit assigns IDs to primary users and secondary users and registers them. The point issuing unit issues the first point to the primary user based on the ID, and issues the second point to the primary user and the secondary user according to the payment amount at the time of providing the product. The point update unit moves the first point and the second point with the purchase of the product between the product seller, the primary user and the secondary user, and updates each ID. When the primary user purchases the first point from the product seller, the point update unit updates the current first point of the primary user who purchases by adding the first point for the purchase payment. When the secondary user receives the product from the primary user, the point update unit updates the current first point of the secondary user by adding the first point corresponding to the payment amount, and updates the primary point. Update by subtracting the first point of payment to the current first point of the user. When the secondary user pays the price of the product from the primary user in points, the point update unit updates by subtracting the points paid from the current points of the secondary user and pays the current points of the primary user. Update by adding minutes points.

According to the present invention, the first point can be circulated in addition to the second point between the primary user who is a store, the secondary user who is a customer, and the product seller, and the conventional mere second point can be circulated. Compared to granting and using, it becomes possible to attract more customers and promote sales. In addition, an online point awarding system can be easily introduced to small stores.

It is the schematic which shows the point management system which has the point management apparatus of this invention. It is a front view which shows an example of a user registration screen. It is a schematic diagram which shows the relation state of registration of a primary user and a secondary user by a product seller. It is a front view which shows an example of the point management screen by a primary user. It is a front view which shows an example of the point management screen by a secondary user. It is a schematic diagram which shows the flow of the point used among the product seller, the primary user, and the secondary user 22.

As shown in FIG. 1, the point management system 10 is composed of a distribution management server 11 as a point management device and user terminals 12, 13 and 14, which are connected to each other via a communication network 15 such as the Internet. Will be done. A Web system that communicates with users using a Web browser on a personal computer is used to transmit information.

The distribution management server 11 is built in a well-known cloud computer 16. The distribution management server 11 is managed by, for example, a server rental company, and includes a Web application unit 17, a database (DB) unit 18, and the like.

The distribution management server 11 can be accessed by the product seller 20, the primary user 21, and the secondary user 22 via user terminals 12 to 14 such as a personal computer, a tablet terminal, and a smartphone. At the time of access, as is well known, user authentication and computer security confirmation are performed.

Various Web applications are stored in the Web application unit 17. The Web application performs various transaction processing necessary for point management. For this purpose, various transaction screens are displayed on the user terminals 12 to 14, and necessary items are input in blanks or the like. For example, the Web application performs each step such as user registration processing, product order processing, order processing to the manufacturer, and point management processing for issuing and updating points P. Further, the user registration unit, the point issuing unit, and the point updating unit are configured on the computer system by the Web application (point management program) that performs the user registration step, the point issuing step, and the point updating step. User registration processing, product order processing, order processing from manufacturers, etc. are processed by well-known Web applications, and detailed explanations are omitted.

In the user registration process, a predetermined user registration screen G1 as shown in FIG. 2 is displayed on each of the target user terminals 12 to 14. User registration is performed by inputting necessary items in each blank field of the user registration screen G1. At the time of user registration, as is well known, when the registration button is pressed after inputting the necessary items, the input confirmation screen is displayed after that, and the user registration is completed by pressing the registration button again. Also, by pressing the back button, it is possible to return to the previous user registration screen, and it is possible to make corrections again. The users referred to here include the product seller 20 who uses the distribution management server 11 in addition to the primary user 21 and the secondary user 22 who are the customers of the product seller 20, and the users are subjected to the same processing procedure. be registered.

The primary user 21 is a trader such as a beauty salon who purchases a product from the product seller 20. The secondary user 22 is a person who receives services (services) such as cuts and perms from the primary user 21, and is registered by the introduction of the primary user 21. The product seller 20 is a trader who sells various products such as shampoos and treatments used in beauty salons, for example.

The distribution management server 11 makes an inquiry by individually providing each user with each access key in the user registration process. By accessing the distribution management server 11 using this access key, a predetermined user registration process becomes possible. The access key is provided to the primary user 21 via the product seller 20, and is also provided to the secondary user 22 via the primary user 21. In this way, as shown in FIG. 3, the primary users 21A to 21D are related to the product seller 20, and the secondary users 22A1, 22,A2, ... 22D3 are related to the primary users 21A to 21D, respectively. Is registered with.

As shown by x on the broken line in the figure, the secondary user 22 cannot be registered across the primary user 21, and is individually registered for each primary user 21. Similarly, even if the secondary users 22C1 to 22D1 to 3 associated with the primary users 21C and 21D of the affiliated stores, for example, the secondary users 22C3 straddle the primary users 21C and 21D. You cannot register afterwards. This is limited in order to avoid complication of point management. Therefore, if it is not complicated, for example, the secondary user 22 may be registered between the primary users 21 in the affiliated store or among all the primary users 21.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the user registration process, input of attribute information, contact information, and the like is prompted, and when a predetermined input is completed, an individual user code (ID) is assigned to each user. Then, attribute information and contact information are stored in the DB unit 18 for each user code. The attribute information is information indicating the user's attributes such as name or store name, gender, and age. The contact information is information indicating the user's contact information such as an address, a telephone number, and an e-mail address. In the present embodiment, the access key and the user code are provided separately, but if each user can be identified, the same one may be used.

Purchase information and point information are stored in the DB unit 18. The purchase information is information indicating the product purchased by the users 21 and 22 and the purchase date. The point P includes a sales promotion (sales promotion) point Pp as a first point and a normal point Pf as a second point. The sales promotion point Pp is given to the primary user by the product seller for a fee when the primary user 21 introduces the system from the product seller 20. In addition, instead of or in addition to the grant for a fee, sales promotion points Pp may be granted free of charge when the system is introduced. Normally, points Pf are given to users 21 and 22 according to the amount of consideration paid when paying for the purchase of sales promotion points Pp, purchase of products, and treatment (service provision) such as cutting at a beauty salon. Will be done. The point information is information indicating the number of points of sales promotion points Pp and normal points Pf, various histories such as the date and time of giving each point and the reason for occurrence. The reason for the occurrence is purchase or transfer at the sales promotion point Pp, and consideration payment at the normal point Pf.

FIG. 4 is an example of the point management screen G2 by the primary user 21. The points P held by each primary user 21 are displayed separately as sales promotion points Pp and normal points Pf. Further, the points P held by the secondary user 22 registered by the primary user 21 are displayed separately as sales promotion points Pp and normal points Pf. Then, by inputting the secondary user name and searching, the possessed points P for each secondary user 22 can be known. FIG. 5 is an example of the point management screen G3 by the secondary user 22.

The product seller 20 builds the distribution management server 11 in, for example, a well-known cloud computer 16. At this time, user registration is performed. As described above, the primary user 21 receives the access key from the product seller 20 and can register the user using the access key. The secondary user 22 can register as a user by using the access key, for example, by receiving the access key from the primary user 21.

As shown in FIG. 6, the point P can be circulated and used among the product seller 20, the primary user 21, and the secondary user 22. Use means that it is used as a consideration when purchasing a product or receiving a service.

As shown by the arrow F1, when the product seller 20 pays the consideration to the primary user 21, the sales promotion point Pp is issued to the primary user 21 as shown by the arrow F11. The sales promotion point Pp is generated, for example, when the primary user 21 purchases from the product seller 20 at the beginning of the introduction of this system. For example, by paying 50,000 yen and purchasing 50,000 points, 50,000 points of sales promotion points Pp are generated. The sales promotion points Pp are not limited to paid points and may be issued free of charge. For example, the product seller 20 to the primary user 21 issue a certain amount of sales promotion points free of charge when introducing this system, or the product seller 20 issues a certain amount of product purchase amount free of charge. You can do it.

As shown by the arrow F2, the sales promotion point Pp is a fixed ratio corresponding to the service charge (compensation) when the primary user 21 provides the service to the secondary user 22 and receives the consideration, as shown by the arrow F21. It is given to the secondary user 22. This ratio can be set individually for each primary user 21. For example, when a fee of 3000 yen is charged as a service price for cuts and shampoos, 833 points, which is 30% of the tax-excluded price of 2777 yen excluding consumption tax, is given to the secondary user 22. In this way, a part of the consideration for the provision of the service is returned to the secondary user 22 as a point Pp, so that the secondary user 22 can be provided with a feeling of being cheaper than other stores. ..

The normal point Pf is when the primary user 21 purchases a product from the product seller 20 as shown by the arrow F3, and when the secondary user 22 purchases the product from the product seller 20 as shown by the arrow F4. As shown by arrows F31, F41, and F42, normal points Pf are given at a constant ratio to the consideration. For example, as shown by arrow F3, when the primary user 21 purchases a product from the product seller 20 for 10,000 yen, 3000 points, which is 30% of the consideration, is given to the primary user 21 as normal points Pf.

As shown by the arrow F4, when the secondary user 22 directly purchases a product of 1000 yen by mail order from the website of the product seller 20, the purchase payment amount (for the purchase amount of 1000 yen) The normal points Pf corresponding to the consideration) are distributed and given to the primary user 21 and the secondary user 22 at a fixed ratio. For example, 200 points, which is 20% of the points, are given to the secondary user 22 as normal points Pf. At the same time, for the primary user 21 who has registered the secondary user 22, for example, 100 points, which is 10% of the cash payment amount of 1000 yen, is given to the primary user 21 as normal points Pf.

The secondary user 22 may use these points Pp and Pf as a part or all of the consideration regardless of the type of the sales promotion point Pp and the normal point Pf when paying the consideration for purchasing the product or receiving the treatment. it can.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the sales promotion point Pp or the normal point Pf is displayed on the Web screen so that only the product seller 20 and the primary user 21 can know for the convenience of management. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, the secondary user 22 displays only the simple point P obtained by adding the sales promotion point Pp and the normal point Pf. This is because the secondary user 22 only uses the point P, and it does not matter whether the type of the point P is paid or free.

In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the management of the sales promotion point Pp, the primary user 21 is prevented from purchasing the product from the product seller 20 by using the sales promotion point Pp. However, the primary user 21 may be able to purchase the product from the product seller 20 by using the sales promotion point Pp.

As shown by the arrows F31, F41, and F42, the normal point Pf is a part of the product purchase price as the normal point Pf when the primary user 21 or the secondary user 22 purchases the product from the product seller 20. It is given to the primary user 21 and the secondary user 22.

In this case, the entire purchase price may be paid by cash or credit card, or a part or all of the purchase price may be paid by using points P. In either case, as shown by arrows F31, F41, 42, normal points Pf are given at a constant ratio to the consideration. In addition, instead of giving normal points Pf in all transactions in this way, normal points Pf may be given only to the cash or card payment amount excluding the point usage portion. In this case, if you pay 1000 yen in cash and the remaining 300 yen in points P for a product with a purchase price of 1300 yen, 100 points, which is 10% of the purchase price in cash, will be purchased. Granted to a person.

When the primary user 21 performs the treatment on the secondary user 22 as shown by the arrows F2 and F21, the primary user 21 accesses the distribution management server 11 using the user terminal 13 as shown in FIG. A screen similar to the point management screen G3 as shown in 5 is displayed. Then, when inputting that the service of 3000 yen was provided to the secondary user 22 on the Web screen, the point grant column is 10% of the 3000 yen, which is 2777 yen after excluding the consumption tax. The sales promotion point Pp of 833 points moves from the primary user 21 to the secondary user 22. By this movement, the points Pp for the movement are added to the current points of the secondary user 22, and the points Pp for the movement are subtracted from the current points of the primary user 21.

As shown by the arrow F2, when the secondary user 22 pays the primary user 21 for services or goods with points P, the points paid are subtracted from the current points of the secondary user 22 to update. Then, the points for payment are added to the current points of the primary user 21 to update. In this case, when the sales promotion points Pp are included in the points P held by the secondary user 22, the sales promotion points Pp are used in preference to the normal points Pf for payment. In this way, the sales promotion point Pp is circulated and used between the primary user 21 and the secondary user 22.

When the secondary user 22 purchases a product from the product seller 20 and pays a part or all of the consideration for the product with the point P as shown by the arrow F4, the secondary user 22 has the points P in the points P. When the sales promotion point Pp is included, the sales promotion point Pp is used in preference to the normal point Pf for payment.

In this way, with the provision of the service, the sales promotion point Pp is moved to the secondary user 22, and the secondary user 22 uses the point P when purchasing the product from the product seller 20. Therefore, 1 The sales promotion point Pp of the next user 21 decreases. When the sales promotion point Pp held by the primary user 21 is reduced to a certain number of points, the purchase of the sales promotion point Pp is notified and the purchase of the sales promotion point Pp is promoted. Further, according to the contract, when the sales promotion point Pp becomes, for example, 5000 points or less, the sales promotion point Pp may be automatically purchased.

At the time of initial registration of the secondary user 22 or at the time of the customer acquisition campaign, the product seller 20 may give normal points Pf to the secondary user 22 and / or the primary user 21. By doing so, it is possible to promote the secondary user 22 to join the system. Further, the sales promotion point Pp may be given in place of or in addition to the normal point Pf.

As shown in FIG. 6, the product 24 purchased from the product seller 20 is delivered to the primary user 21 and the secondary user 22 by the delivery company 23.

As described above, two types of points P, a sales promotion point Pp and a normal point Pf, are provided, and the sales promotion points Pp can be circulated and used among the product seller 20, the primary user 21, and the secondary user 22. .. Therefore, the beauty salon or the like, which is the primary user 21, can give a feeling of cheapness to the secondary user 22 who is a customer of the own store, and retains the customer, as compared with other beauty salons that do not subscribe to this system. It is possible to increase the ability to retain customers and the ability to attract new customers. The sales promotion point Pp and the normal point Pf are consumed as a part of the consideration when the service or the product is provided, and finally when the product seller 20 to the primary user 21 or the secondary user 22 purchases the product. Disappear. Therefore, the circulating points P do not increase infinitely, and the total number of points can be suppressed to a certain amount, which is advantageous in terms of point management.

By purchasing the sales promotion point Pp, the primary user 21 can record it as a sales promotion cost, and the accounting process becomes clear. In addition, the sales promotion point Pp is not linked to the purchase of the product to another person like cash, but the person to whom the point P is given is paid as a part or the whole of the consideration for the product or service. Finally, the primary user 21 and the secondary user 22 use the product as a part or all of the purchase price of the product from the product seller 20, and the product disappears at that time.

As described above, the secondary user 22 as a consumer does not purchase the point P for a fee (there is no consideration). In addition, although the primary user 21 such as a beauty salon falls under the prepaid payment method of the Law Concerning Fund Settlement by purchasing Point P for a fee, "No. Since it falls under the category of "prepaid payment method used only in transactions that are commercial activities for users", it does not violate the law regarding fund settlement. When the primary user 21 retires from the system due to business closure or the like, for example, the product seller can purchase the remaining sales promotion points Pp or convert them into normal points Pf.

In the above embodiment, a beauty salon has been described as an example of the primary user 21, but the primary user 21 may be a retailer as well as a provider (service provider) of a service or the like. In this case, the sales promotion point Pp is used for the act of selling the product instead of the service to be provided. Therefore, this system can be easily introduced not only by service providers but also by small-scale retail stores. In addition, retailers include not only realistic stores but also online stores built on the Internet, and product sellers also include sales network builders who manage online stores.

Although the product seller 20 has been described as a wholesaler who purchases a product from a manufacturer and wholesales it to a primary user 21 such as a beauty salon, the manufacturer may directly become the product seller 20. Further, the service industry may be a barber industry, a massage industry, an esthetic industry, or another service industry in addition to the beauty industry, and by using the point management device of the present invention in these service industries, as compared with the conventional case. , It is possible to improve the ability to attract customers and retain customers. Moreover, even small stores, which have less financial resources than large companies, can easily introduce an online point awarding system.

In the above embodiment, the Web application for processing the order to the manufacturer is stored in the Web application unit 17 of the distribution management server 11, but the order processing to the manufacturer may be performed separately.

The hardware configuration of the distribution management server 11 can be modified in various ways. For example, the distribution management server 11 may be configured by a plurality of server computers separated as hardware for the purpose of improving processing capacity and reliability. In addition, the hardware configuration of the computer system can be appropriately changed according to the required performance such as processing power, safety, and reliability. Further, not only the hardware but also the program may be duplicated or distributed and stored in a plurality of storage devices for the purpose of ensuring safety and reliability.
