First, Figure 1 is a block diagram schematically showing a mileage point operating system of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to Figure 1, the overall configuration of the mileage point operating system of the present invention.

Mileage point operating system of the present invention is composed of a game operating server 100, a member 110, a point DB server 120, affiliates 130 and banks 140.

First, the consumer 110 accesses the game operation server 100 using a network such as the Internet, registers as a member, and receives a rechargeable IC card from the game operation server. A consumer who becomes a member 110 receives points by charging a recharge charge through the bank, purchasing a product from the affiliated company, or playing a game on the game operation server, and the member accumulates points accumulated on the rechargeable IC card. Using to purchase a product from the affiliate or enjoy the game on the game operation server.

The rechargeable IC card is a card with an IC in which authentication information about a member is recorded, and the member can be authenticated as a member by accessing a point database server using the rechargeable IC card in an affiliate company, a bank, or a game operation server. The point stored in the point database server can be used.

Next, the game operation server 100 registers the consumer and issues a rechargeable IC card. In addition, the game operation server 100 operates a game site, but allows the members to play the game using points, and if the game is won to obtain the corresponding points. In the case of winning the game, a certain amount of points acquired is paid as a fee. In this case, the fee is preferably to pay about 10% of the acquired points.

Meanwhile, the point database server 120 is a server that stores and manages the points of the registered members.

Next, the bank 140 receives the deposit from the member and pays the points corresponding to the deposit, and the related point information is transmitted to the point database server and stored and managed. In addition, the bank pays the deposit and interest income arising from the deposit to the partner. On the other hand, the bank 140, if there is a request for personal credit information inquiry from the game operation server, and performs personal credit information inquiry and authentication.

Next, the affiliated company 130 is an affiliated company so that the member can purchase a product using a rechargeable IC card, such as a department store, a discount store or a franchise. The member may purchase a product from the affiliated company using points accumulated in the point database server and charges accumulated in the rechargeable IC card.
