Description

How to provide tumblers and services using NFC tags {TUMBLER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SYSTEM USING NFC TAGS}

The present invention relates to a tumbler and a service providing method using an NFC tag, and more specifically, by attaching an NFC tag to the tumbler, reads the unique ID of the NFC tag to the user terminal and delivers it to the relay server to provide marketing information to the tumbler user. , It relates to a tumbler and a service providing method using an NFC tag to provide a marketing means and an inventory management function to a tumbler sales provider.

The tumbler is a flat bottomed cup used for drinking beverages such as water, coffee, juice, etc., and is cylindrical in shape like a cup. The tumbler has a standard capacity of 240 ml and is made of various materials such as metal, plastic, glass, and ceramics.

The tumbler can be easily found in many patent documents such as registered utility model No. 20-0476831, registered utility model No. 20-0476913, and registered utility model No. 20-0477940. The tumbler of these patent documents is composed of a long body having a storage space for storing beverages, and a lid that is coupled to the upper portion of the body to close the open end of the body and has an opening for the outflow of beverages. Tumblers are used as containers for hot and cold beverages in recent years because of their good heat retention and portability compared to ordinary cups and disposable containers.

In particular, in recent years, the use of tumblers in take-out coffee shops has increased, and in home or office, the use of beverages has been gradually increasing in order to drink them for a long time.

The tumbler, which is in such a trend of increasing use, is often purchased directly by consumers, but is often purchased in bulk by a specific company and provided as a promotional material to the consumer.

The tumbler provided as a promotional material needs to manage whether it is accurately delivered to the end consumer, and it can also be an important clue to conduct proper marketing to the consumer.

On the other hand, tags used in the RFID system can read information stored inside the chip wirelessly using a semiconductor chip, as opposed to a conventional barcode, and record new contents.

In particular, since it is a non-contact technology and capable of transmitting and receiving long distance information, it is possible to simultaneously read the information of many tags at a time, and the recognition speed is also excellent, which can secure a significant advantage in terms of work efficiency. The biggest advantage of RFID technology is that the amount of information that can be written to a tag has increased dramatically compared to other media. As the amount of information storage increases, various information such as product information and production information can be stored. Recently, NFC (Near Field Communication), which is a kind of RFID technology, has attracted attention.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is one of radio tag (RFID) technologies and is a contactless communication technology that uses a 13.56 MHz frequency band. It is a next-generation short-range communication technology that attracts attention due to its relatively high security and low price because of its short communication distance. Since both the data reading and writing functions can be used, the reader required for general RFID use is not required, and it is similar to the existing short-range communication technology such as Bluetooth, but has the advantage of not having to set between devices like Bluetooth.
