However, these drawings are for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail through examples. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only and the present invention is not limited thereto.

The present invention has a configuration similar to the conventional PC room, but there is a difference in the function of the management computer and the function of the central management computer. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the central management computer 10 according to the present invention.

As shown, the central management computer 10 includes a transmission / reception module, a management module, and a registration information update module.

The transmitting and receiving module is for receiving data input from the management computer of each PC room and transmitting necessary data.

In addition, the management module is for controlling input and output for the information requested from each PC room.

In addition, the registration information updating module is for updating the information stored in accordance with the member information input from the management computer of each of the room. The updated information is stored in the member DB. The member DB is for storing information about the member. For example, a storage means such as an HDD, a magneto-optical disk, or the like is used.

The central management computer 10 further includes a mileage calculation module for calculating a mileage point of a member using registration information. The mileage points calculated by the mileage calculation module are also stored in correspondence with the member ID of the member DB where each member information is stored.

3 shows the configuration of the management computer 21 for the PC room according to the present invention. As shown, the module includes an input module, a registration information update module, a transmission / reception module, and a member DB. The input module is for inputting member information input by the administrator of the PC room.

In addition, the registration information updating module searches for the member information input by the input module and updates the data when new data is added. The update of data may add time input later by comparing the time of member information stored in the DB. For this purpose, a time recording function is included in the data field generated when the member information is input.

Member information updated by the input module or registration information update module is stored in the member DB. The member DB also stores information about the member, for example, a storage means such as an HDD, a magneto-optical disk, or the like is used.

In addition, the transmission and reception module transmits the member information stored in the member DB and is for receiving data transmitted from the outside.

In the PC management system of the present invention as described above, member registration information is stored in each of the management computer 21 installed in the PC room and the central management computer 10 installed in the central center. Therefore, there is a feature that can manage the members stored in the conventional PC room itself. However, since the central management computer 10 stores not only member information belonging to one PC room, but also member information on all PC rooms affiliated with a franchise, there is an advantage in that it can be integratedly managed.

4 is one embodiment of a screen in the case of registering data for a member according to the present invention.

As shown, ID, user input, name, English name, address, social security number, phone number 1, mobile phone number, gender (SEX), E-mail address, job, homepage URL (multiple possible), hobby (multiple possible) Data fields such as the first creation date, last modification date, etc. are created. This is what the administrator enters on the management computer.

In addition, data fields for IDs, total mileage, cumulative mileage, and mileage log for members of a PC room (store) are added to the management computer. The member data as described above are stored in the management computer, respectively, and also in the member DB of the central management computer of the central center. At this time, the data about the room ID of the system, the total mileage for the member, the accumulated mileage, and the like are updated and stored.

The method of the present invention performed in the PC management system having the above configuration will be described using the flowchart of FIG. 5.

If one of the PC rooms 20, 30, or 40 is registered as a member and inputs necessary information, the member information as shown in FIG. 4 is stored in the management room of the PC. The member information may be directly input by the room manager or the member may be input through a subscription menu. Member information input as described above is stored in the member DB of the management computer.

If the member information is modified instead of the new member information (the operation by the correction menu), the management computer updates the member information. This is done by the property update module. The input module also processes the input of a data signal for member confirmation when a member requests to use a particular computer.

When the member registration is completed as described above and data is registered in the member DB of the management room of the PC room, the data of the currently registered member is transmitted to the central management computer through the transmission / reception module of the management computer.

The sending / receiving module of the central management computer receives member data from the PC room and stores the member data in its own member DB. At this time, the management module of the central management computer determines whether the input member data is pre-registered, and if it is an unregistered member, determines that it is a new registered member and updates the data if it is an existing member. This is done by the property update module.

When the member information is registered as described above, the management module of the central management computer calculates mileage points for the member. That is, the management module delivers necessary data to the mileage calculation module in order to calculate the mileage points. The data required for the mileage point can be the member's usage time, frequency of use, etc.

For example, if the usage time is more than 10 hours in a month, 100 mileage points can be given, and if the score exceeds 1000 points, one hour of use time can be given free of charge. Or, if the number of times of use is more than 10 times a month, 500 mileage points can be given, and if the score exceeds 1000 points, the free time can be given. The conditions for giving these mileage points can be determined arbitrarily. After calculating the mileage points as described above, they are stored in the member database of the central management computer and the management computer, respectively.

When a member applies for use of a computer in a PC room, the mileage point detects this in the input module of the PC for management and records the member information (connection time). At the same time as the record, the member ID and password entered by the member are retrieved from the member DB. If the search result is not registered as a member, the member ID and password are transmitted to the central management computer.

After receiving the member ID and password, the central management computer retrieves the member ID and password from the member database of the member information of all affiliated PCs. If the member is found to be a registered member, the central management computer detects this and transmits the mileage point information to the management room of the PC. At this time, the computer used by the member is processed as described above regardless of whether the computer of the other than the registered PC room.

The management computer outputs the mileage points for the member transmitted from the central management computer on the computer screen currently used by the member. Check the printed mileage point information, and members can use it for free or pay in cash. In this way, the member can conveniently use the mileage point service as a member in the same franchise franchise as well as in the room where he applied for subscription.

As described above, according to the present invention, the member information can be stored securely from accidents occurring in the central center by dualizing the management of the member information, and the PC room joined as a member company has priority to member management registered in its PC room. It is guaranteed, and the central center is guaranteed for the chain business, and registered members have the advantage of using the mileage service in any PC room belonging to the central center.

Although the invention has been described in detail only with respect to the described embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention, and such variations or modifications will belong to the appended claims. .
