Description

[0001] METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR GENERATING MAGNETIC STRIPE INFORMATION [0002] METHOD,

The present invention relates to transaction cards. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method, an apparatus, and a computer program for generating payment information of a recommendation card most suitable for use in an off-line store among a plurality of payment cards.

Recently, as data communication technology has been developed, a variety of technologies are being utilized for marketing in an offline store. For example, Beacon technology that supports short-range wireless communication based on Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) protocol can recognize the user's location more accurately than GPS, so marketing information is delivered to smartphone users near the in- .

On the other hand, in recent years, the payment means has been replaced by a plastic card in coins, banknotes, and the like, and the percentage of settlement using the card is extremely high. There are many ways to pay off-line using a payment card, but the magnetic system in which information such as a card number is encoded in the form of a magnetic stripe has conventionally become mainstream. Such a magnetic card has to use a magnetic stripe on the back of the card by scraping it on a POS (Point of Sales) terminal. However, this magnetic card can not be used if the magnetic strip region of the card is damaged and is vulnerable to forgery and falsification.

Various attempts have been made to solve such inconveniences of the magnetic card. For example, an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, an NFC, and a barcode.

However, since the above-mentioned payment method is not compatible with the conventional magnetic stripe payment system, there is a problem that a force terminal supporting the payment method must be additionally installed. Instead of simply replacing a magnetic card with a card with an integrated circuit (IC) chip, consumers need to replace their POS terminals with those that support payment systems in general, so switching from a magnetic card to another requires a great deal of time and money. Therefore, any alternative method does not easily take the place of the mainstream.

In fact, as of 2015, the force of credit card franchisees in Korea is 100%, while the force supporting the IC chip method is only 47.2% and the force supporting the NFC method is only 3.2% . That is, in spite of the problem of the magnetic card, since only the payment method using the magnetic strip is commonly used, the magnetic card can not be easily replaced with another type of card.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems. More particularly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a card settlement method that is compatible with a conventional magnetic force type force terminal and improves user's convenience.

It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the description of the embodiments described below, and that various modifications may be made without departing from the technical scope of the present invention. In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

In the drawings, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals. And in the accompanying drawings, some of the elements may be exaggerated, omitted or schematically illustrated. It is intended to clearly illustrate the gist of the present invention by omitting unnecessary explanations not related to the gist of the present invention. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In this specification, a payment card refers to any type of payment card that can be used for online or offline payment including a credit card, a check card, a prepaid card, a debit card, a cash card, a transportation card, a point card, .

According to an embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device for generating payment information can be implemented to receive short-range wireless communication signals generated in an offline store and display event information and / or recommendation card information of a store. That is, the present invention intends to provide a payment method capable of generating a magnetic field signal of a card most suitable for settlement among a plurality of cards held by a user by using a short-range wireless communication signal.

Generally, card companies apply the benefits differently depending on their usage. For example, A card offers a discount on public transportation charges if you use 100,000 won per month, while B card offers a discount of 7,000 won per month if you use 200,000 won per month. C card costs an average of 300,000 won for three months If you use it, you will get discounted amount of money.

In order to benefit from the card company's offer, users can use the card to calculate how much performance they have achieved by each card. However, it can be very cumbersome for consumers to count the results for each benefit and pay with a suitable card. This is because the calculation period is different for each card and payment date.

Furthermore, users often receive a large number of cards in order to take advantage of the benefits provided by credit card companies.

Therefore, there is a need to satisfy the goal achievement per card so that users can enjoy all the advantages of the card at the same time without carrying all the cards of the user's name.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems. In the example above, if the user uses 100,000 won per month, he / she will use the A-card, which offers discounts on public transportation charges, B-card, which offers a discount of 7,000 won for the monthly fee of 200,000 won, and an average of 300,000 won for three months. The user can register the A, B and C cards in the electronic purse capable of emulating the card magnetic stripe information, and if the A, B, C payment You can make payments using A, B or C cards without a real card.

In particular, according to the present invention, a user can get a recommendation of a card to be used for a corresponding payment among registered cards in consideration of a target performance and a usage amount at each payment. For example, an A card with the lowest performance target may be recommended at the beginning of the month, and after using A card for more than 100,000 won, a C card may be recommended after using B card or B card for over 200,000 won.

On the other hand, it is possible to consider the case of promoting a specific card in an offline store. For example, if a certain offline store is promoted to double the points of the B card by associating with the card company of the B card, according to the embodiment of the present invention, according to the user setting, It can be recommended with the highest priority. More specific details will be described later in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a process of generating a magnetic stripe signal of a recommendation card most suitable for the settlement of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, the user terminal may be, for example, a desktop, a notebook, a smart phone, a tablet or a PC. Furthermore, the electronic device may be an electronic wallet or an electronic card which can be provided with a magnetic stripe emulator to emulate and / or duplicate magnetic stripe information of the payment card to provide settlement information.

In step 110 of FIG. 1, the user terminal may register a plurality of payment cards.

More specifically, the user terminal registers a payment card through an application according to an embodiment of the present invention and / or a user interface provided by a computer program and / or a plurality of payment cards through a card registration device such as a magnetic strip reader And can register with the application and / or the computer program.

For example, when the user scratched the magnetic stripe of the magnetic card on the card registration device, the user terminal receives the information of the payment card in the form of a magnetic stripe, and the application can register the payment card by decoding the magnetic stripe information. At this time, the user terminal may further request a pass code and / or a user fingerprint for using the registered card for payment.

As another example, the user terminal may receive the user input for individually inputting the information about the payment card, and may register the payment card by inquiring the card company about the validity of the information.

As another example, a user terminal may register a payment card via another electronic commerce application. For example, when a user attempts to make a mobile payment using an arbitrary card in a user terminal, a message inquiring whether the application according to the embodiment of the present invention registers the card is displayed as a push message, You can also register your payment card using the method you get.

At step 115, the user terminal may be connected wired or wirelessly to an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In a preferred embodiment, the user terminal and the electronic device may be connected in a Bluetooth communication, and the procedure for authenticating the electronic device at the user terminal may proceed according to the prior art.

In step 120, the electronic device can acquire information on at least one payment card from the user terminal, and can encrypt and store the information.

In the example of FIG. 1, steps 120 and 125 are shown as progressing sequentially, but this is only an example. In another embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may register the payment card without going through the user terminal. For example, the electronic device may receive information about the payment card directly from the card company and register it.

In step 125, the electronic device can register the payment card while encrypting and storing the payment card information.

In step 127, the user terminal can acquire information on the settlement history of the user.

For example, the user terminal can analyze the message received from the credit card company and / or the bank of the payment card to obtain the payment history of the registered payment card. As another example, the user terminal may acquire the payment history of the user through another electronic commerce payment application or inquire of the card company to obtain the payment history of the user. As another example, the user terminal may acquire settlement history through direct input of the user. That is, the user can input the settlement history individually for the registered payment card.

When the user terminal obtains the payment information, the user terminal classifies the payment information into a plurality of categories such as card, use category, installment, exclusion of performance, overseas use, family card, and / or corporate card You can create a database.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the user payment information database may be created by the user terminal, but the user terminal may be received from the service server and stored.

For example, if the user terminal is a device that does not receive the card company's message, the service server can acquire and analyze the user settlement history from other user terminals capable of receiving the message, and process the database into a database. The user terminal can acquire the user payment information database by communicating with the service server, and update the user payment information database at an arbitrary period.

Meanwhile, the service server according to the embodiment of the present invention can collect information on events of the offline stores. (Step 130)

For example, the service server may collect identification information, promotion information, discount information, and / or coupon information of a specific offline store. Furthermore, the service server may collect event information associated with the offline store and a specific payment card. For example, an event that can replace a payment for a specific offline store with an accumulation point of the A card, an event that doubles the accumulation of points on the B card during lunch on weekdays, or a payment by C card Discounts, and so on.

The event information can be collected through the in-store and / or the advertisement agency, and the service server can group and / or index the collected event related information and construct it as a database.

Meanwhile, the service server can collect the benefit information of the released or discontinued payment cards. For example, a card's management code, card company or bank information, card company benefits, supplier benefits, category information of benefits, main benefit of multiple benefits, minimum performance by card and / or benefit, Aggregation period, and so on. (Step 135)

Although not shown in FIG. 1, the card benefit information may be transmitted to the user terminal at a predetermined period, and may be used to update the card benefit information stored in the user terminal.

Meanwhile, in step 140, the user terminal can individually set a method of determining a recommendation card by receiving a user input.

For example, the user can set the recommendation to be achieved by considering the arrival of the card company benefit target performance as the first priority through the individual setting, or, when providing the event related to a specific card in the in-store, It is possible to set the payment card to be recommended. Alternatively, the user may set the recommendation of the settlement card considering the order in which the accumulated point disappearance time of a specific card arrives through the individual setting as the third priority.

Furthermore, the user may separately set detailed criteria such as a target performance calculation date, an aggregation period, an aggregation method, a minimum usage period condition, and a minimum usage amount through the individual setting with respect to a target performance calculation for receiving a card company benefit .

A specific example of proceeding with the above user setting will be described below with reference to FIG. 2 attached hereto.

On the other hand, when the user terminal and / or the electronic device enter the promotion range of the specific offline store, the identification information of the offline store can be acquired through the local wireless communication signal transmitted from the offline store. (Step 150)

More specifically, in the example of FIG. 1, the offline store may have a chipset for generating a signal based on the Bluetooth 4.0 Bluetooth low energy (BLE) protocol. Further, the user terminal and / or the electronic device capable of Bluetooth communication can receive the Bluetooth signal generated by the chipset when entering the communication range. In particular, the Bluetooth UUID (universally unique identifier) field of the Bluetooth signal can be used as identification information of the offline store. The identification information may be used as a trigger to display event information of the offline store at the user terminal and / or the electronic device.

The user terminal having received the Bluetooth signal including the identification information of the offline store can request the service server for event information related to the offline store. (Step 155) For example, the user terminal can request the event information of the store by transmitting the identification information received from the offline store to the service server.

The service server can search the store event database and transmit event information of the offline store to the user terminal. (Step 165)

On the other hand, the electronic device receiving the Bluetooth signal including the identification information of the offline store can request the recommendation of the payment card to the user terminal. (Step 170)

For example, when receiving an in-store Bluetooth signal, the electronic device switches from the sleep mode to the active mode (step 160), and transmits the identification information of the offline store to the user terminal, May be requested. (Step 170)

However, in the example of FIG. 1, step 170 and step 160 are shown as proceeding to step 170, but this is only an example. That is, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device can request the recommendation of the card from the user terminal without receiving the local wireless communication signal of the offline store.

For example, when the electronic device receives a user input for requesting a payment progress and / or card recommendation through an input device such as a button, a sensor, and / or a touch pad, Or may be implemented in a requesting manner. The user terminal can receive the Bluetooth information of the offline store separately from the electronic device and can recognize the offline store located nearby when the card recommendation is requested from the electronic device.

In step 175, the user terminal can determine a recommended card to be used in the offline store among the plurality of registered payment cards. Particularly, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the user terminal can determine the recommended card in consideration of the payment information of each registered card, the benefit information of each card, the point information of each card, and the event information of the offline store.

A specific example in which the user terminal determines a recommendation card to be used for settlement will be described later with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3 attached hereto.

2 is an exemplary diagram of a user interface for receiving user settings for card recommendation at a user terminal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a user terminal and an electronic device can operate in conjunction with each other. The user terminal can register a plurality of payment cards and execute an application for recommending a card to be used for a specific payment among the plurality of payment cards. FIG. 2 is an example of a user setting screen of the application.

In the example of FIG. 2, the user may select 206 activation of the card recommendation menu 205 to use the card recommendation feature of the application.

Furthermore, the user can further set the priority for recommending cards. For example, the priorities of the cards to be considered, such as whether to meet the card company benefit target performance (210), card point availability (230), card company promotion presence (240), and interest free installability (245) Can be specified. (211, 252, 253, 254 in the example of FIG. 2)

In the above example in which the cards A, B, and C are registered in the user terminal, if the water level to be considered in card recommendation is set as shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal considers the card dealer benefit goal achievement as a top priority, You will be recommending cards that are not available.

And, if all the registered cards are filled with the objective achievement, they will recommend cards that can use the card points the most. Also, if you do not have a card that allows you to use the card point in the offline store, you will recommend a card that can receive special promotions from the card company. Furthermore, if you do not have a card that will receive a special promotion, you will be asked to provide a card that can receive the interest free installment.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, if the user does not designate the same priority or designate the priority, the user terminal may recommend the appropriate card for the corresponding settlement of the store in consideration of the user tendency up to that point .

Although not shown in FIG. 2, according to another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to designate whether or not the expiration period of the card accumulation point is to be taken into consideration when recommending a card. For example, if a certain card's accumulation point is expected to expire in January from the card's recommendation point, it can be designated to preferentially use the card. The range of the destruction period to be considered for card recommendation may be set individually by the user.

Meanwhile, according to the embodiment of the present invention, an application can automatically provide benefit information for each card without inputting a separate user. For example, in the above example in which the A, B, and C cards are registered in the user terminal, the application can provide the user with the benefit information of the cards A, B, and C provided by the card company.

That is, in the example of FIG. 2, the minimum usage amount 217 for receiving the benefit of the card A is 100,000 won, the period 218 used as the basis of the usage amount count is one month, and the amount counting methods 219 and 220 It is possible to provide the initial value of the setting menu as the total amount of one month immediately preceding the month. Further, the usage date 215 and / or the payment date 216, which are used as the amount counting reference, may be displayed as an initial value provided by the card company.

Further, the user can individually change the benefit information, that is, the usage date, the payment date, the minimum usage amount, the usage period condition, the aggregation method, and the aggregation method, using the setting menu illustrated in FIG.

For example, in the example of FIG. 2, if the user changes the payment date of the A card from 20 days to 14 days, the user can change the payment date by selecting 14 from the setting menu 255. [ If the card A is a card whose use date is changed according to the settlement date, if 255 is changed, 258 may be changed.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of determining a recommendation card in a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In step 310 of FIG. 3, the user terminal may acquire benefit information of the payment card that the user has registered in advance. For example, the user terminal may include a management code of a payment card previously registered by a user, card company or bank information, a credit card company benefit, a partner company benefit, category information of a benefit, a main benefit among a plurality of benefits, , An aggregation criterion of the performance, an aggregation period, a card collection point creation and / or a criterion reference period, and the like.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the benefit information is processed into a database form in a service server according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the user terminal can receive and / or update the service server at a predetermined cycle.

3, in step 320, the user terminal may acquire event information of an offline store which is adjacent or in which the settlement procedure is started.

For example, the user terminal may request the service server for event information related to the offline store while providing the identification information of the offline store, and may receive the event information from the service server in a processed database format.

The offline store event information according to the embodiment of the present invention may be any promotional information, discount information and / or coupon information, and may be an event linked to the offline store and a specific card company.

In step 330, the user terminal may obtain the payment information of the user.

For example, the user terminal can analyze the message received from the card company and / or the bank of the payment card, or inquire of the card company to obtain the payment history of the user. Furthermore, the obtained payment information can be divided into a plurality of categories such as card, use category, installment, exclusion of performance, overseas use, family card, and / or corporation card.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the user payment information database may be created by the user terminal, but the user terminal may receive and / or update the service payment server at a predetermined period.

In the example of FIG. 3, steps 310, 320, and 330 are shown as progressing sequentially, but this is only an example. That is, according to the embodiment of the present invention, steps 310 to 330 may be performed before step 350 regardless of the order.

In step 340 of FIG. 3, the user terminal may consider the priority of card recommendation according to user settings.

Considerations for card recommendation that can be set by the user include whether to meet the card company benefits goal, availability of card accumulation points, whether the card accumulation point will expire, whether special promotions such as credit card company discount or point double accumulation, And the like.

If the user has set priorities for these considerations, the user terminal may then recommend the card accordingly. (Step 350)

For example, if a user makes a special promotion for a card issuer as a priority 1, whether or not the card withdrawal period reaches the expiration date is priority 2, whether the card issuer satisfies the goal of the card issuer 3, If the priority is set to 5, the user terminal will make a recommendation to the credit card special promotions card as the top priority for the settlement.

If a card with a special promotion is not registered, a card with a card withdrawal period of less than one month, for example, will be recommended with the next priority. At this time, the deadline period can be changed through user setting.

If a card point does not have a card to expire within a certain period of time, a card that does not meet its target performance will be recommended with the next priority. If you do not have a target achievement record for multiple cards among the registered cards, you may be able to recommend a card with the lowest target performance.

If all the registered payment cards have burned the target performance, you can recommend the cards with no interest charge as the next priority. Furthermore, if you do not have a card with no interest free installment, you will be able to recommend cards with credit card points to the next priority. If more than one of the registered cards can be used for points, the card with the most accumulated points or the card with the highest point usage rate can be recommended.

Returning to the explanation of FIG. 2 again, in step 180, the user terminal can provide the electronic device with information on a recommendation card recommended to be used in the corresponding off-line store among a plurality of registered cards.

Further, in step 190, the user terminal may display details of the recommendation card and / or event information associated with the corresponding offline store. For example, the user terminal can display event information in the form of a push notification, a pop-up message, a notification message of another application connected in advance, and the like.

At this time, it is preferable that the user terminal displays more detailed information on the priorities considered in the recommendation, so that the user can intuitively understand the reason for recommending the use of the specific card among the registered cards for the settlement.

On the other hand, the electronic device can display a recommended card to be used in the corresponding off-line store among a plurality of registered cards. (Step 185)

Further, if the user selects to pay with the recommendation card, the electronic device can proceed with settlement of the corresponding offline store. For example, the electronic device emulates the magnetic stripe of the recommended card, and can proceed with the payment by providing the magnetic stripe information to the magnetic stripe reader, which is one of the payment systems of the off-line store. (Step 192) The above step may be performed in combination with a payment method using a separate security module, a magnetic stripe, an IC chip, an NFC, a barcode, and a beacon.

On the other hand, the electronic device may additionally request a pass code and / or fingerprint input that the user has previously registered to authenticate the user's payment request. Alternatively, the card information encrypted using the previously stored passcode as an authentication key may be decrypted on condition that the Bluetooth connection is maintained between the electronic device and the terminal.

Although not separately shown in FIG. 1, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to prepare for loss of an electronic device by using the passcode. For example, if the distance between the electronic device and the user terminal is more than 10 meters and the Bluetooth communication is disconnected, the electronic device can immediately operate the internal timer while deleting the passcode stored in the storage unit. In the embodiment of the present invention, the pass code can be used as a key for decrypting the encrypted unique information of the non-number card.

In this situation, if the user requests payment for a specific card registered in the electronic device, the electronic device can inquire the user of the pass code before the timer expires. When the user inputs the pass code, the electronic device decrypts the card information of the payment card using the pass code, and generates a magnetic field signal to request payment.

However, even if the user requests payment after the timer expires or requests payment before the timer expires, if the pass code can not be input within a predetermined time, the electronic device can notify the payment inability of the payment by displaying an error message.

On the other hand, in step 194, the payment device of the offline store can request the card company to approve the card payment and approve the payment. (Step 194) If the payment approval message is transmitted to the user terminal in the form of SMS, the user terminal can update the user payment information database. (Step 196)

4 is a block diagram for explaining a configuration of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
