[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a purchasing point service system consisting of a card and a card housing, and its purpose is to record the purchase record as stamp points and to redeem the points for purchases, event participation, cash vouchers. An object of the present invention is to provide a purchasing point service system including a card and a card housing, which can favorably provide a customer with point services such as (purchasing right and deposit right) and can perform good customer management.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a card similar to an embossed card such as a credit card is distributed to a customer, and an I-card is distributed to this card.
The D number is stored or written, the purchase record points or the actual purchase amount are stored in the card, and the purchase record points are written on the card (hereinafter referred to as an external storage system), and the general-purpose computer is combined with this ID number. Attribute information such as customer's name, address, telephone number, date of birth, etc. is stored and the customer's purchase record points, purchase record amount, etc. are registered through a register or other terminals to a commercial district such as a shopping district or shopping center. By inputting into a central processing unit such as a large computer such as a secretariat in a large store, sales management and customer management of each member store such as a shopping center are performed.

[0003]

However, in the external storage system in which the purchase record points are written on the card, the purchase record points can be known on the card, that is, the purchase record points can be visually confirmed, so that the sales promotion effect is not enhanced. However, there are the following problems.

Since the card stores the ID number or the ID number is written and the purchase record points are written on the card, for example, one customer (hereinafter referred to as customer a) for the first time.
Is a store that adopts this system (hereinafter, store c
When purchasing a product, the card in which the ID number is stored or the ID number is written is handed to the customer. On this card, the purchase points calculated on the basis of a fixed rule in which the actual purchase amount is arbitrarily set are printed. After that, when the customer a purchases a product at another store (hereinafter, store d),
The ID number handed at the store c is stored or the ID number is written, and a card on which purchase record points are printed is handed to a clerk or the like in order to print the purchase points on the card. When it is forgotten or lost, a new ID number is stored or a card with the ID number is handed over. In other words, a large number of ID numbers will be input to a central processing unit such as a large computer such as a secretariat in a large-scale store or a commercial accumulation place such as a shopping district or a shopping center for one customer.
We were not able to perform good customer management. Moreover, due to the above reason, one customer owns a large number of cards having different ID numbers, which is troublesome to handle.

Further, since the ID number is stored or written on the card, for example, the remaining printable point of the card owned by the customer a (hereinafter referred to as the card a) is "2".
The remaining printable point of a card (hereinafter, referred to as a card b) owned by another customer (hereinafter, referred to as a customer b) is set to "3", and the customer a and the customer b are brought together to a store c.
Suppose that customer a purchases a product at this store c. If the purchase point calculated based on the actual purchase amount is "5", the purchase point "2" printed on the card a because the ID numbers of the card a and the card b are different.
It is impossible to print the remaining purchase point "3" of the card b on the card b, and the remaining purchase point "3" is printed on another card in which the same ID number as the card a is stored or written. Become. That is, when handing over the card remaining points to another card, the card must be handed over to another card in which the same ID number is stored or written, and a good point service cannot be provided to the customer.

Therefore, in view of the above situation, the present inventors have considered
We can record the purchase record with stamp points, redeem gifts for the accumulated points, participate in events, and provide point services such as vouchers (purchase right, deposit right) to the customer satisfactorily, and also manage the customer satisfactorily. I continued my earnest research on a purchasing point service system consisting of a card and a card holder that can carry out.
