The customs service server 50 manages information on foreign residents (hereinafter, referred to as users) who are to be tax-exempted against the internal tax by entering the country, information on one or more purchase items purchased by the user, Refund the internal taxes on the goods.

The refund service server 70 provides a refund service for the goods that are subject to the internal tax exemption among the items purchased by the user in cooperation with the duty free shop terminal 30 and the customs office server 50. To this end, the refund service server 70 manages each post-tax exemption business place as an affiliated shop, and provides an electronic code or the like that can receive the internal refund refund service using the user terminal 10 to the user. Accordingly, the user can perform the processing according to the internal tax refund by using the user terminal 10 at the time of purchasing the article, without inconveniencing such as taking refund slips.

Also, the refund service server 70 handles the authentication of the purchased goods to be carried out online, so that the user can conveniently process the refund of the refund for the refund of the purchased commodity before departure. In other words, the user can carry out the authentication procedure conveniently via online without performing the customs confirmation procedure for the goods to be exported.

Hereinafter, the refund process and examples thereof will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of managing purchase information for internal tax refund according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a view illustrating an example of a user registration process according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a view illustrating an example of a user interface (UI) screen in the user terminal 10 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 8 is an example of a user interface screen; Fig.

Referring to FIG. 2, information on the duty-free terminal 30 according to each post-tax exemption business place is registered in the refund service server 70 as merchant information (S210).

The foreign user who entered the country or is scheduled to enter the country can register the member in the refund service server 70 using his / her user terminal 10. That is, when the refund service server 70 receives a request for member registration from the user terminal 10 (S215), the refund service server 70 determines whether the member is registered (S220). When the user is determined as a member, the name, passport number, and the like are stored in the refund service server 70 as user information about the member. Then, the refund service server 70 issues an electronic code to the user terminal 10 (S225).

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 showing an example according to this, a user can create his or her own ID for registering a member, and can receive not only general personal information such as name, mobile phone number, address, A card number, an account number, and the like may be registered.

Also, the refund service server 70 registers passport information such as a passport number and a passport image 300, and the information is used as information for authenticating that the user is subject to the internal tax exemption. Here, as shown in the drawing, the user terminal 10 can display a guide image 310 on a preview screen as a user interface for smoothly photographing a passport.

Upon receipt of such user information, the refund service server 70 judges that the user is subject to the duty of exempting the internal tax, and issues an electronic code when it is determined that the exempted person is the exempted person.

The electronic code may be information recorded in, for example, an NFC chip, or may be implemented as an electronic tag such as a QR code. A brief description of Near Field Communication (NFC) is a non-contact communication technology using a frequency band of 13.56 MHz as one of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. It is a next-generation LAN technology that is attracting attention due to its relatively low security and relatively low price because of its short communication distance. Because you can use both data reading and writing functions, you do not need the dongle (reader) that was needed for using existing RFID. It is similar to existing short distance communication technology such as Bluetooth but it does not need to set between devices like Bluetooth.

The electronic code includes identification information for identifying a user as code information. For example, a user ID and a passport number may be used as identification information.

Therefore, if the user provides the electronic code stored in the user terminal 10 to the duty-free shop terminal 30 using the NFC or QR code when purchasing the goods, the user can conveniently send information on the purchased goods to the refund service server 70 The customs office server 50).

Referring to FIG. 4 according to an example as described above, the user can select either the NFC scheme or the QR code scheme. That is, since the scan function may be different for each duty free shop terminal 30, the user terminal 10 outputs an interface screen 400 capable of providing the electronic code through either the NFC method or the QR code method, The interface screen such as reference numeral 410 or 420 may be output. In the electronic code according to the present embodiment, a passport image, passport number, and information according to the user ID are used. In the NFC method, corresponding information is recorded in the NFC chip to drive the NFC function (refer to 410) The passport image is displayed on the screen together with the QR code having the number and the user ID as code information (see 420).

Referring to FIG. 5 together with FIG. 2, the user presents an electronic code of the user terminal 10 as shown in FIG. 4 when the user purchases the goods at the duty free shop, The electronic code is read by the provided scanner (S230).

The duty-free shop terminal 30 obtains the user ID, the passport number, and the passport image, which are code information, from the electronic code (S235), and stores the selling information including the information on the purchased goods purchased by the user together with the code information, (Step S240).

Referring to FIG. 5 showing an interface screen 500 displayed on the duty-free shop terminal 30 according to an example of this example, article information sold together with the read code information is displayed on the screen of the duty-free shop terminal 30. FIG.

The refund service server 70 that receives such sales information and information on the exempt duty-free workplace from the duty-free shop terminal 30 authenticates the legitimate user, whether the user ex-taxed business premises is registered in advance, And affirms registration of the purchase object to be refunded according to the result (S245). Here, according to an example, the refund service server 70 may perform the above-described authentication process alone, or may perform processing in conjunction with the customs office server 50 as shown in the figure. For example, Whether or not to be tax-exempted, etc. to the customs office server 50.

Then, the refund service server 70 (and / or the customs office server 50) stores the details of the refund target purchase item for the user in the database 510 (S250).

When the duty-free shop terminal 30 receives a response to the processing completion from the refund service server 70 (S255), the duty-free shop terminal 30 completes the registration of the refundable article for the sold merchandise.

According to the embodiments of the present invention described above, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of management due to the use of existing refund slips and wasted paper materials, and the like, There is no danger. Also, even if the user does not have a passport, the user is provided with the convenience of being provided with a refund service using only the portable user terminal 10.

Up to now, the refund target product registration process using the electronic code issued by the refund service server 70 has been described. Hereinafter, a processing procedure for paying out the internal tax refund for the exported goods exported out of the refundable products registered in the customs office server 50 will be described.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary view showing a user interface displayed on the customs terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of refunding an internal refund of an exported article according to another embodiment of the present invention, Is an exemplary diagram showing a user interface screen of the user terminal 10 for export authentication according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Although not shown in the overall system according to FIG. 1, according to another example, the customs terminal may be further included in the entire system, and the customs terminal reads the code information according to the electronic code of the NFC system or the QR code system from the user terminal 10 User information can be obtained. Therefore, the user information acquired from the user terminal 10 as the user interface screen 600 displayed on the customs terminal as shown in FIG. 6 and the exported article information acquired from the refund service server 70 or the customs office server 50 Is displayed.

Accordingly, the customs terminal user, that is, customs, carries out the approval process by comparing the article to be exported according to the export confirmation list with the actual exported article to which the user intends to export. According to the present embodiment, the user can easily provide the customs with information on the articles which are refunded to the domestic market without having to carry the refund slips according to each exported article.

However, in this embodiment, it may be troublesome for customs to directly confirm the exported goods. Referring to FIG. 7, which is a flowchart illustrating a process of performing export authentication by using online according to another example in order to solve the above problem, the user uses the user terminal 10 to provide a refund (S710).

The refund service server 70 recognizes the user (S715), and transmits the user information to the customs office server 50 (S720).

The customs office server 50 confirms the information on the purchased goods that the user has registered in advance (S725), and requests the user terminal 10 via the refund service server 70 for the authentication information corresponding to the purchased goods (S730 , S735).

The user terminal 10 generates authentication information according to the exported article to be exported and transmits it to the customs service server 50 through the refund service server 70 (S750). The authentication information may be an image of the taken-out article.

The customs office server 50 processes the authentication using the acquired authentication information for the registered articles (S750). The user is authenticated by confirming whether or not the photograph taken by the current user of the article to be exported is the same as the image corresponding to the actually registered purchase article.

The customs office server 50 provides the authentication result to the refund service server 70 (S755), and in accordance with the result, the refund service server 70 processes the export registration for the exported article (S760).

In the present embodiment, the customs service server 50 processes the authentication of the exported product (hereinafter referred to as exported certificate), but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the exported certificate may be performed by the refund service server 70 have. That is, the refund service server 70 performs authentication on the exported article by using the authentication information acquired from the user terminal 10, and performs the refund processing now according to the result. Likewise, the customs administration server 50 may directly perform the payment of the refund due to the completion of the registration. Also, according to an example, a terminal such as a kiosk provided at an airport may allow the user to directly process the refund through cash or money transfer. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the method of payment of the refund and the processing method thereof may be variously processed, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 8 showing an example of export authentication, a list of items to be purchased is displayed on the first interface screen 800 for export authentication displayed on the user terminal 10, and an item to be exported can be selected A selection display window 802 is displayed. When the taken article is selected, the image taking button 804 is activated and pressed by the user, the second interface screen 820 is displayed. A preview screen according to the camera function for photographing the unloading article 830 to be actually unloaded is displayed on the second interface screen 820.

An authentication target image 822 is displayed on one side of the preview screen and the user has to shoot the exported article 830 so that the same image as the authentication target image 822 can be photographed through the second interface screen 820 . The corresponding authentication object image 822 can be acquired from the refund service server 70 or the customs office server 50 and used for export authentication. In other words, the refund service server 70 (or the customs office server 50) performing the carry-out authentication checks the image of the exported article received as the authentication information from the authentication object image 822 and the user terminal 10 Authentication image ") are compared with each other and judged to be equal to or more than a certain level (for example, 90%).

Here, the authentication target image 822 includes a division mark 823 for convenience of authentication and stability. When the camera function is activated, the user terminal 10 also displays the same shooting mark 824 as the division mark 823 on the preview screen. Therefore, the user can capture the same authentication image as the authentication target image 822 including the division mark 823. [

According to an example, a user may request an internal refund without intending to export it, so that a condition may be set for generation of an authentication image for security.

As one example thereof, the location information of the user terminal 10 can be used. In other words, it is possible to generate an authentication image using the user terminal 10 only when the user is located in a specific available area (i.e., a certain location) such as an airport. That is, when the user terminal 10 is not located in the available area, the camera function for generating the authentication image is not activated, the authentication target image 822 is not displayed, or the shooting marker 824 is displayed on the preview screen . In other words, if the image capturing button 804 is activated only when it is located in the available area, or if the image capturing button 804 is not located in the available area in such a manner that the authentication target image 822 is displayed, It can not be done.

As another example, the user terminal 10 may acquire the authentication object image 822 from the refund service server 70 or the customs agency server 50 only when the user terminal 10 is located in the available area.

In summary, by setting the location where the user is sure to leave soon, such as an airport, as an available area, the user can not capture the same authentication image as the authentication target image 822 if the user is not located in the available area, It is possible to use the exported goods confirmation service using on-line as shown in FIG.

The internal tax refund method using on-line according to the present invention can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. The computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording media storing data that can be decoded by a computer system. For example, it may be a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a magnetic tape, a magnetic disk, a flash memory, an optical data storage device, or the like. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed and executed in a computer system connected to a computer network, and may be stored and executed as a code readable in a distributed manner.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims. It will be understood that various modifications and changes may be made.
