Referring to FIG. 1, the point management system 100 includes an interlocking point calculation unit 155 for calculating n interlocking points to be accumulated in each of the n interworking objects, And an interlocking accumulated point accumulating unit (160) for accumulating the calculated interlocking accumulated points. The interlocking accumulated point managing unit (165) manages the accumulated interlocking accumulated points accumulated in each member so that the value of the interlocking accumulated points does not exceed a specified maximum value, Respectively.

When the n interworking entities are identified, the interworking interworking point calculating section 155 calculates n interworking earning points to be accumulated in each of the n interworking entities to be individually checked.

The interlocking earning point is a point accumulated in at least one relationship forming member associated with the self-accumulating customer in cooperation with the procedure of accumulating the self-accumulating points according to the purchase to the self-accumulating customer. The self-accumulation point is a purchasing point where a point value according to purchase is accumulated. On the other hand, the inter-connection accumulation point is a non-purchasing point accumulated based on the fact that a relationship with the self-accumulation customer is formed regardless of the purchase of the member have. Thus, the self-accumulation point may include all attributes that a normal purchasing point may have. Meanwhile, the interlocking earning point is a non-sale point that is linked to the self-earning point, and inherits the attribute of the self-earning point, or a part of the inherited attribute is replaced with another attribute, Can be given. For example, at least one of the effective period, the point value, and the discount rate of the corresponding point may be varied. The characteristics of such an interlocking earning point can be set through the terms.

According to the first interworking accumulated point calculating method of the present invention, the interworking accumulated point calculating unit 155 calculates the total interworking accumulated points to be accumulated in the at least one interworking accumulated object in conjunction with the self-accumulated points, The total number of linked points can be calculated by dividing the total number of linked points by n.

According to the second interworking integration point calculating method of the present invention, the interworking integration object determining unit 150 identifies n interworking objects to be limited within a specified number, and the interworking integration point calculating unit 155 calculates Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > n < / RTI >

According to the third interworking accumulated point calculating method of the present invention, the interworking accumulated points calculating unit 155 calculates total interworking accumulated points to be accumulated in at least one interworking accumulated object in conjunction with the self-accumulated points, A differential weight proportional to the purchasing amount of each associating member corresponding to the purchasing occurrence store (or the category of the purchasing occurrence store) is applied to the total linkage accumulation point to calculate n interlinkage accumulation points that are differentially divided.

According to the fourth interworking integration point calculating method of the present invention, the interworking interworking object verifying unit 150 identifies n interworking objects to be bounded within a specified number, and the interworking interconnection point calculating unit 155 calculates (Or a category of the purchasing occurrence store) corresponding to the purchasing price of each of the relationship forming members is applied.

According to the fifth interactive pooling point calculating method of the present invention, the interlocking pooling point calculating unit 155 calculates a total interlocking pooling point to be accumulated in at least one interlocking pooling object in conjunction with the magnetic pooling point, A differential weight in inverse proportion to the purchase amount of each relation forming member corresponding to the purchasing occurrence store (or the category of the purchasing occurrence store) is applied to the total interlocking accumulation point, thereby calculating n interlocking accumulation points that are differentially divided.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the interlocking object recognition unit 150 identifies n interworking objects to be limited within a specified number, and the interworking integration point calculation unit 155 calculates (Or a category of the purchasing occurrence store), the number of the interlocking points to which the differential weight in inverse proportion to the purchase amount of each of the relationship forming members is applied can be calculated.

If the n interlocking points are calculated, the interlocking-accumulated-point accumulating unit 160 may calculate the n interlocking points calculated by the interlocking-object recognizing unit 150 And stores the calculated n linked points in the point management D / B 135, or provides the calculated n linked points to the n affiliated mobile terminals 200 to be registered in the application 215, And the calculated n interlocking points are accumulated in the n interworking objects.

The interlocking point management unit 165 periodically inquires the point management D / B 135 or interworking with the application 215 of the mobile station 200 to calculate the value of the interlocking points accumulated in the respective members And confirms whether the value of the cumulative accumulated earning point exceeds the specified maximum value. Here, the designated maximum value, which is compared with the cumulative linked earning earning point, is set by an interlocking earning point operating policy of the point operating system 100, and the interlocking earning point is issued by the accumulated earning earning point Is set to a value that does not cause an excessive provisioning liability to the store or point operator.

If the value of the cumulative accumulated linkage points exceeds the specified maximum value, the linked linkage point management unit 165 manages the value of the cumulative linked linkage points to not exceed the specified maximum value.

According to the method of the present invention, the effective duration of the linked points may be variable. That is, the self-accumulation point is set to a certain expiration period, whereby the self-accumulation point that is not used during the expiration period exists as a provision of the point operator. On the other hand, the validity period of the interlocking earning point may be varied so that the value of the interlocking earning point accumulatively accumulated in the specific member does not exceed the specified maximum value. For example, if the validity period of the self-accumulation point is set to one year, the inter-connection accumulation point may vary to one year, six months, one month, and the like. In addition, the validity period of the interlocking earning point can be varied for each member even if the same kind of point is used.

Alternatively, the interworking earning point may have a variable point value. That is, the self-accumulation point has a certain value, and the point value corresponds to the provisional debt. On the other hand, the value of the interlocking earning point may be varied so that the value of the interlocking earning point cumulatively accumulated in the specific member does not exceed the specified maximum value. For example, if the point value of the self-accumulation point is designated as a value of 1 won per point, the linked accumulation point can be varied to 1 won, 0.5 won, 0.1 won, etc. per one point. In addition, the value of the interlocking earning point can be varied for each member even if the same kind of point is used.

Alternatively, the discount rate may be variable. That is, when the self-accumulation point is converted to a cash value or converted to another form (for example, a discount coupon, a gift certificate, a gift certificate, etc.), the self-accumulation point is discounted according to a predetermined discount rate. On the other hand, the discount rate of the interlocking earning point may be varied so that the value of the interlocking earning point accumulatively accumulated in the specific member does not exceed the specified maximum value. For example, if the discount rate of the point value of the self-accumulation point is designated as 90%, the discount rate of the linked accumulation point may be changed to 90%, 60%, 50%, and the like. Furthermore, the discount rate of the interlocking earning point can be varied for each member even if the same kind of points are converted into the same form.

According to the first interlocking point management method of the present invention, the interlocking-accumulated-point management unit 165 may change the valid period of the cumulative interlocking-accumulated points to cancel the interlocking-accumulated points exceeding the specified maximum value .

According to the second interworking accumulated point management method of the present invention, the interworking accumulated point management unit 165 may change the point value of the accumulated interworking accumulated points so that the accumulated interworking accumulated points do not exceed the specified maximum value Can be managed.

According to the third interworking accumulated point management method of the present invention, the interworking accumulated point management unit 165 may change the discount rate of the accumulated interworking accumulated points so that the accumulated interworking accumulated points do not exceed the specified maximum value can do.
