The present invention relates to an integrated point service system and method using an integrated coupon.

Provides consumers with integrated coupons that can be used on the Internet for products produced by various manufacturers, and consumers access the content services that provide various contents through the Internet, and provide the integrated coupons for coupons, points of the corresponding content service companies, or The present invention relates to a point service system and a method using an integrated coupon that can be converted into a cash.

Generally, when a customer receives and pays for a product purchase or service from a place such as a restaurant, clothing store, stationery store, etc., that place applies mileage or provides discount coupons to the customer for continued customer attraction. Doing.

When the discount coupon is applied, the discount coupon is provided to the customer each time the payment is made, and when a certain number of discount coupons collected by the customer is provided, a different service or product purchase is provided.

In addition, in the case of the discount coupon is usually a token to provide a discount to the customer for the purpose of motivating the purchase of the product as a token to set a certain period of time to provide a discount during the period, so that the customer By intensively purchasing the product using the product, the manufacturer or sales office can achieve the effect of increasing the sales of the product and improving the distribution handling rate, and in the case of the retail store, the sales increase and the handling fee are generated and widely used. It's happening.

However, in the case of the conventional discount coupon service, when the discount coupon is applied, the sales office checks the discount coupon, that is, the expiration date, whether the product corresponds to the discount coupon, the quantity purchased, the discount amount, etc. In addition, in the case of the conventional discount coupon service, by receiving a discount for a small number of products designated at one office within a certain period of time, products that can be purchased using the provided discount coupon are limited. However, there was still a disadvantage of inducing excessive consumption by intensive purchase, and there was still a time constraint that the discount coupon could not be provided to other offices or other products with the discount coupon, and that the discount coupon should be used within a certain period of time.

On the other hand, if you look at the bonus point operating system offline, when you use a hypermarket pay bonus points in the form of earning a certain amount of their purchases, and if a certain point or more qualifying to receive a gift.

However, this often leads to uselessness because other cards have to be used elsewhere, and these systems only promote supermarkets, and companies that manufacture and distribute products promote their products. There is no situation.

Of course, some manufacturers or sales offices issue stickers for a certain amount to promote their products, but they are treated separately from the stickers of other products, so they are very helpful unless you use only one product steadily to use it properly. This can't be done.

It is difficult for consumers to maintain a single product pattern, and since the consumer does not continue to purchase their products at the manufacturer or sales office, the bonus point system as described above is helpful to both the manufacturer, the sales office, and the customer. It is not.

In other words, the biggest reason for this is that the point sharing system is not well established. Therefore, even though the individual point scoring system is good, it is not helpful to both the manufacturer, the sales office, and the customer. .

In addition, when looking at the bonus point operating system online, as the Internet has developed rapidly in recent years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of Internet shopping malls and advertisement sites that advertise the products of member companies. Advertisement sites recruit various member companies and sell or advertise their products through their Internet sites.In order to increase the sales of each member company, the advertisement site can be purchased and purchased. The system uses a mileage point payment system that pays a predetermined mileage point to a customer viewing an advertisement.

This mileage point payment system is based on the criteria set by each member company when the customer accesses the company's site and places it on the company's site and clicks a banner advertisement, a product icon, or a link button to view an advertisement or purchase an item. It is now possible to earn mileage points, and customers can use mileage points to purchase goods or deduct a portion of the purchase price.

However, since the mileage points utilize a portion of the amount used by the customer to purchase the goods, the mileage points are accumulated enough to purchase other items only by continuously purchasing many items. Therefore, a large number of customers do not accumulate sufficient mileage points and give up using the mileage points accumulated in them, thus weakening the original intention for the customer to continuously purchase the goods of the member company. There was this.

In other words, many domestic and international manufacturers and sales offices provide a certain amount of mileage points for the amount of purchase or service in terms of customer service, and if the points are above a certain level, they give customers benefits such as free gifts and services. It is very difficult to go up to the point level that can receive the benefit of service improvement, so there are many problems that do not fill up to the required point.

Offline bonus points are not used properly online, bonus points secured offline must be resolved offline, and bonus points secured online must be resolved online. In addition, there was a problem that it is difficult to collect and use all the services in terms of customers using the service.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, provides consumers with integrated coupons that can be used on the Internet to products produced by various manufacturers, the consumer is connected to a content service that provides a variety of content through the Internet The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated point service system and method using an integrated coupon that can be used by converting an integrated coupon into a corresponding content service company's point or a corresponding content service company's cash.

For other purposes, when the integrated coupon is used directly or converted into an integrated point or cash, a new value added service is created and provided to a manufacturer, a sales company, or a service company by providing a weighted value according to the stored integrated point and performance. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an integrated point service system and method using an integrated coupon that can achieve the effect of increasing sales and distribution handling rate of the product or service and maximizing the service.
