Description

TECHNICAL FIELD Embodiments of the present invention relate to an information processing apparatus and a program.

Conventionally, as part of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities, product manufacturers have donated part of the sales proceeds of specific products, and retailers have donated part of the sales proceeds at their stores. . There is also a donation project that allows customers to select a donation destination by dropping the receipt they received at the retail store into the collection box provided for each donation destination. In the donation project, a receipt collection box is set up for each donation destination in the store, and customers select the donation destination and insert the receipt. Then, the store aggregates the transaction amount of receipts by donation destination, and donates a portion of the sales proceeds to the donation destination. In order to reduce the human burden of tallying such donation plans, there is also a technology related to a POS (Point Of Sales) terminal that accepts selection of a donation destination from a touch panel and tallies the donation amount for each donation destination.

By the way, in recent years, an electronic receipt system has been developed in which a receipt given to a shopper at the time of payment is converted into electronic data and transmitted to the customer's portable terminal or the like for display. Converting receipts into electronic data has the advantage that customers can use receipt data for household account book software. In addition, for stores that have introduced the system, the use of electronic receipts has the advantage of reducing the consumption of receipt paper.

Therefore, a proposal has been made to make it possible to use such an electronic receipt mechanism for the above-mentioned donation project to further simplify the reception and tabulation of donations. In addition, with the conventional technology, the customer cannot easily check how much he or she has donated so far. Therefore, it has been desired to enable individual customers to easily check their donation results from their mobile terminals using an electronic receipt system.

A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an information processing device and a program that can simplify acceptance and counting of donations using electronic receipts.

A program according to an embodiment is a program for controlling, by a computer, a mobile terminal provided with a display unit for displaying electronic receipts and donation results, wherein the computer controls a first icon for viewing electronic receipts and a donation function as a display control unit that selectably displays a second icon for viewing results on the display unit, and a reception unit that receives a selection operation of the first icon and the second icon , When the reception unit receives the selection operation of the first icon, the display control unit controls the electronic receipt data and the donation on the condition that the electronic receipt data to be displayed conforms to the conditions for accepting the donation. and a third icon for accepting the electronic receipt is displayed on the display unit.

An example in which icons such as the icons 77 and 78 are attached to each product is a donation plan sponsored by a manufacturer. In other words, it is a project in which the manufacturer donates part of the sales of a specific product. In this case, a product code or department code is determined in advance as a condition for accepting donation applications. Then, if there is transaction data that meets the conditions, the display control unit 82 attaches icons 77 and 78 to the transaction data and displays it.

An example of an icon attached to the total transaction amount, such as the icon 79, is a donation plan sponsored by a store or a company operating the store. In other words, it is a plan that the store or operating company donates part of the sales amount at the store or multiple affiliated stores. In this case, the conditions for accepting donation applications may not be set, but if the donation is to be made on a regular basis, information such as the period for implementing the project, the date, and the store may be set as conditions in advance. good. Then, when the conditions are met, the display control unit 82 displays the total amount with an icon 79 attached. Note that the icon 79 may be displayed along with the date and store information, instead of being displayed along with the total amount. Alternatively, the icon 79 may be displayed in part of the display area, such as the lower part of the display area of the electronic receipt, without being attached to any transaction data.

As described above, the display control unit 82 displays the transaction data (the transaction data of the sold product or the total amount) used as the condition for accepting the donation, together with the icons 77 to 79 for accepting the donation application. . This makes it easier for the member who applies for the donation to know what amount of money the donation will be made.

When the icons 77 to 79 are selected and operated, the display control section 82 pops up a confirmation screen 80 (see FIG. 10) or a selection screen 81 (see FIG. 11) on the display section 73 .

(3-3) Example of Confirmation Screen Regarding Donation Plan FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen concerning a donation plan. The display control unit 82 notifies on the confirmation screen 80 that an application for participation in the donation plan can be made. As shown in FIG. 10, the confirmation screen 80 is provided with an icon 82 for selecting a participation application and an icon 83 for returning to the electronic receipt display screen shown in FIG.

The transmission unit 53 of the electronic receipt server 4 generates display data for the confirmation screen 80 and transmits the display data to the mobile terminal 7 . Based on the received display data, the display control unit 82 of the mobile terminal 7 displays a confirmation screen 80 as shown in FIG. Then, the accepting unit 83 of the mobile terminal 7 accepts the application for participation in the donation plan in response to the selection operation acceptance of the icon 82 . The transmitting/receiving unit 81 transmits the member information stored in the storage unit 75 to the electronic receipt server 4 as information related to the donation application.

At the same time, the transmitting/receiving unit 81 transmits transaction data such as the product code, quantity, transaction amount, etc. of the product to which the donation icon (any one of the icons 77 to 79) is attached on the electronic receipt (see FIG. 9), Send to the electronic receipt server 4 . That is, the electronic receipt server 4 can collect the transaction data used as the condition for accepting the donation and use it as proof of purchase of the product. Further, the electronic receipt server 4 uses the thus collected transaction data as information on the amount of donation for the donation project. That is, the electronic receipt server 4 counts the subtotal amount of the corresponding product, the number of sales, or part of the total amount of one transaction as the donation amount.

In this manner, when the icon 82 is selected and operated, the portable terminal 7 outputs the transaction data associated with the donation acceptance icons 77 to 79 and the information on the donation application to the electronic receipt server 4 . Therefore, members can easily participate in donation activities by simply operating icons. In other words, when a store or an affiliated store solicits donations all at once, it is an important factor that members can easily participate in the donation. Conventionally, donation campaigns that are generally carried out from the mobile terminal 7 often require work such as inputting personal information when donating, which is complicated and difficult to participate in. On the other hand, in this embodiment, individual customers can easily participate in the donation campaign with one click, making it easier to collect donations.

Note that 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, the confirmation screen 80 (see FIG. 10) is displayed, and the icon 82 is further selected. As another example, the portable terminal 7 may accept the donation application immediately after the icons 77 to 79 are selected.

(3-4) Example of Donation Destination Selection Screen FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a selection screen 81 for selecting a donation destination. A plurality of donation plans are displayed on the selection screen 81 so as to be selectable. For example, in FIG. 11, icons 84-86 are associated with different donation plans. When the receiving unit 83 receives an operation to select any one of the icons 84 to 86, the transmitting/receiving unit 81 transmits information indicating a donation plan associated with the icon (that is, information indicating a 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 conditions of the donation application to the electronic receipt server 4 . For example, the transmitting/receiving unit 81 receives product information such as the product code, quantity, transaction amount, etc. of the product to which the donation icon (one of the icons 77 to 79) is attached in the electronic receipt (see FIG. 9), and the transaction date. , and outputs transaction data, etc., indicating transaction stores, etc.

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

(3-5) Example of Contribution Achievement Screen FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a screen that displays contribution achievements. After the application for donation, the display control unit 82 displays on the display unit 73 a donation record screen 96 showing the cumulative total (actual record) of donations made so far by the member. The display control unit 82 displays information 97 indicating the contents of the donation and the donation record, and an image 98 indicating the donation record on the donation record screen 96 . As the image 98, an illustration that abstractly shows the donation record may be displayed, or a photograph or video of the actual donation content may be displayed. Further, the donation result screen 96 is provided with an icon 99 for further displaying detailed information on the donation. When accepting portion 83 accepts the selection operation of icon 99 , display control portion 82 displays detailed information on the donation on display portion 73 . Incidentally, when the icon 99 is selected and operated, a web page showing the donation results may be accessed.

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

First, the sales registration unit 21 of the POS terminal 1 performs product registration by inputting the product information of the purchased product (step S1). For example, the store clerk reads the product code attached to the product with the scanner 15 or inputs it with the operation unit 12 . The sales registration unit 21 reads product information such as the product name and price corresponding to the product code from the product master (not shown) stored in the storage unit 17 and stores it in the RAM as information on the product to be sold.

Next, the code reception unit 20 of the POS terminal 1 receives the input of the member code of the electronic receipt. That is, the customer (member) activates the electronic receipt-related application on the mobile terminal 7 and causes the display unit 73 to display the start screen (see FIG. 8) (step S2). Then, the member presents the start screen to the clerk, and the clerk uses the scanner 15 of the POS terminal 1 to read the code symbol displayed on the screen. The code acceptance unit 20 of the POS terminal 1 decodes the code symbol and accepts the input of the membership code (step S3).

The electronic receipt generation unit 24 of the POS terminal 1 generates electronic receipt data including the transaction data and store code registered in step S1 and the membership code read in step S3 (step S4).

The data output unit 25 of the POS terminal 1 transmits the electronic receipt data generated in step S4 to the store server 9 (step S5). The store server 9 outputs the electronic receipt data to the headquarters server 3 at any time or at a predetermined timing (step S6). The headquarters server 3 outputs the electronic receipt data to the electronic receipt server 4 at any time or at a predetermined timing (step S7).

The receiving unit 51 of the electronic receipt server 4 registers the received electronic receipt data in the electronic receipt storage unit 45 in association with the membership code (step S8).

Next, a procedure of donation information management processing executed by the electronic receipt system will be described. FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram showing a procedure example of donation information management processing executed by the electronic receipt system.

When the reception unit 83 of the mobile terminal 7 receives an operation to select the icon 85 (see FIG. 8) for viewing the electronic receipt, the transmission/reception unit 81 makes a viewing inquiry to the electronic receipt server 4 (step S10). It should be noted that the transmitting/receiving unit 81 reads out the member code from the storage unit 75 and transmits it at the time of inquiry for browsing.

The receiving unit 51 of the electronic receipt server 4 receives the browsing inquiry from the mobile terminal 7 (step S10). The donation information management unit 52 reads the electronic receipt data of the member code for which the browsing inquiry was made from the electronic receipt storage unit 45, generates display data, and transmits the display data to the portable terminal 7 (step S11). The transmitter/receiver 81 of the mobile terminal 7 receives the display data. Then, the display control unit 82 displays the electronic receipt display screen (see FIG. 9) on the display unit 73 based on the received display data (step S12).

The reception unit 83 of the mobile terminal 7 determines whether or not an icon for applying for donation (icons 77 to 79 in the example of FIG. 9) has been selected (step S13). If the selection operation has been 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 electronic receipt display screen (step S14). ).

When the icon 82 is selected on the confirmation screen 80 (step S15: Yes), the transmitting/receiving unit 81 receives member information such as the member code, donation information indicating the amount of donation, and transaction data regarding the conditions for accepting the donation. It is transmitted to the electronic receipt server 4 (step S16). Alternatively, when one of the icons 84 to 86 is selected on the selection screen 81 (step S15: Yes), the same processing as in step S16 is performed. After that, the process proceeds to B in the figure, and the start screen (see FIG. 8) is displayed or the application is terminated in accordance with the operation of the return button, home button, or the like of the mobile terminal 7 . Even if step S13: No or step S15: No, the process proceeds to B in the figure and performs the same processing as described above.

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

Also, the donation information management unit 52 tallies the total donation amount using the electronic receipts issued in the store or at 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 total donation amount donated by each member for the donation plan, and stores the total in the plan-specific storage unit 46. (step S18).

Then, when the donation project period ends, the donation information management unit 52 reads out the total donation amount for each project from the project-specific storage unit 46, and applies to the sponsoring company to participate in the project (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, in the project-by-plan storage unit 46, information on the actual donation results for the donation plan actually applied for, and updates the data in the plan-by-plan storage unit 46 ( step S21). The electronic receipt server 4 may use the data to automatically update the display of the web page displaying the donation record. In the case where donation acceptance periods are provided periodically, the electronic receipt server 4 performs the above-described processing procedure for each planning implementation period.

Next, the procedure of browsing processing of contribution results by member executed by the electronic receipt system will be described. FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the procedure of browsing processing of contribution results by member, which is executed by the electronic receipt system.

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

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 the browsing inquiry is made from the member-by-member total storage unit 47, generates display data, and transmits the display data to the portable 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 result screen 96 (see FIG. 12) on the display unit 73 based on the received display data (step S32). After that, the process proceeds to B in the drawing, and the same processing as described above is performed.
