Method for non-face-to-face ordering using mobile communication terminal, and computer program recorded on record-medium for executing method therefor}

The present invention relates to an automated system. Specifically, it relates to a non-face-to-face ordering method using a mobile communication terminal and a computer program recorded on a recording medium to execute the order.

A non-face-to-face (untact) ordering system is a system that allows a person who orders a product and a person who receives an order to process orders without facing each other. This non-face-to-face ordering system allows customers who place an order to place an order without arriving at an offline store, eliminates the need to queue for an order, and shortens the waiting time until the product is released after placing an order. There is an advantage of being. In addition, from the point of view of a store that receives orders, it is possible to save labor costs of personnel to receive and record orders, eliminate human errors that may occur in the process of recording orders and payments, and enable clear sales management and analysis. have.

The existing non-face-to-face ordering system was a method of processing orders using kiosks installed in stores. The existing non-face-to-face ordering system using a kiosk was an ordering system designed to focus on store convenience rather than customer convenience. Specifically, in the existing non-face-to-face ordering system using kiosks, only customers arriving at the offline store can place orders, and customers have to wait in line in front of the kiosk, and the waiting time from order to product delivery has not been significantly shortened .

In order to overcome the limitations of the existing non-face-to-face ordering system using a kiosk, a non-face-to-face ordering system using a mobile communication terminal has appeared. Such a non-face-to-face ordering system using a mobile communication terminal is also referred to as a smart order, a siren order, and the like.

With the advent of a non-face-to-face ordering system using a mobile communication terminal, customers can order products anytime, anywhere using a mobile communication terminal. An order using a mobile communication terminal can be largely divided into a prepaid order and a postpaid order. The prepaid order is an order in which an order and payment are performed simultaneously or sequentially using a mobile communication terminal. In addition, the postpaid order is an order in which an order is pre-processed using a mobile communication terminal and payment is made after a customer arrives at a store or after a product is delivered.

However, in the case of a postpaid order in which the order and settlement are performed at a time difference, there is a risk of damage due to a false order by a person who does not intend to purchase the product. Therefore, various solutions are required to block false orders in postpaid orders.

With the following configuration, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine whether the postpaid order is a false order. Here, the false order refers to an order requested by a person who does not intend to purchase a product. The false order blocking unit 225 may determine whether the customer is truly willing to purchase a product using network access information, authentication number, and image.

First, a process of determining whether a postpaid order is a false order using network access information will be described. Here, the network access information is information on a network to which the mobile communication terminal 100 is connected.

The false order blocking unit 225 may identify network access information of the mobile communication terminal 100 that has transmitted a product order through the communication unit 205. The false order blocking unit 225 may determine whether the product order is a false order based on the identified network access information.

Specifically, the false order blocking unit 225 may identify a public IP address used by the mobile communication terminal 100 to transmit a product order and a public IP address used by the POS terminal 300 to transmit a data packet. have. If the public IP address used by the mobile communication terminal 100 and the public IP address used by the POS terminal 300 are the same, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is not a false order. On the contrary, if the public IP address used by the mobile communication terminal 100 and the public IP address used by the POS terminal 300 are different from each other, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is a false order.

When the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 enters the store and accesses the network through the network hub 700, the mobile communication terminal 100 and the POS terminal 300 will use the same default gateway, and eventually a public IP address. Will be the same.

In addition, even if the public IP addresses of the mobile communication terminal 100 and the POS terminal 300 are the same, the false order blocking unit 225 is dynamically assigned to the subnet mask and the POS terminal 300 dynamically allocated to the mobile communication terminal 100. If the assigned subnet masks are different from each other, it may be determined that the product order is a false order.

This is to exclude a case in which the mobile communication terminal 100 and the POS terminal 300 are accidentally assigned the same public IP according to the IP address allocation policy of the Internet service provider.

Next, a process of determining whether a postpaid order is a false order using the authentication number will be described. Here, the authentication number is a numeric string that can be obtained only at a place where a user of the mobile communication terminal 100 can receive an ordered product.

The false order blocking unit 225 may transmit a request for an authentication number to the mobile communication terminal 100. The false order blocking unit 225 may receive an authentication number from the mobile communication terminal 100.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the authentication number is generated by generating a time value in hours at the time when a product order is transmitted and a location value of the mobile communication terminal 100 as a seed value. It can be a random number.

Here, the time value may have a value in units of hours so that the authentication number is kept the same for a certain period of time. In addition, the location value is a value for checking whether the user of the mobile communication terminal 100 exists in a location where the ordered product can be received. Such a location value may be a unique location value assigned to a store in which the POS terminal 300 is installed, but is not limited thereto, and may be a GPS coordinate value.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the authentication number may be an OTP value output through a display installed at a certain location of a store where the POS terminal 300 is installed. According to the implementation method of the present invention, the display outputting the OTP may be installed for each table in the store, or may be installed singly at the counter of the store.

The false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is not a false order when the authentication number received from the mobile communication terminal 100 is within a preset valid range. Conversely, if the authentication number received from the mobile communication terminal 100 is out of the valid range, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is a false order.

Here, the effective range means a range of authentication numbers that the mobile communication terminal 100 can have when it exists within a certain range from the store where the POS terminal 300 is installed. Such an effective range may be preset or may be set by the input/output unit 210.

Next, a process of determining whether a postpaid order is a false order using the photographed image will be described.

The false order blocking unit 225 may request the mobile communication terminal 100 to take a picture of a specific location in the store. The false order blocking unit 225 may receive a photographed image from the mobile communication terminal 100.

The false order blocking unit 225 may identify whether an object existing at a specific location within a store in which the POS terminal 300 is installed is included in the received image.

The false order blocking unit 225 may perform image preprocessing in order to identify an object from within the received image.

Specifically, the false order blocking unit 225 may extract an edge existing in the received image. In this case, the false order blocking unit 225 may use either a Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) algorithm or a Difference of Gaussian (DoG) algorithm to extract an edge.

The false order blocking unit 225 may extract an enclosure by the extracted edge from the image. In this case, the false order blocking unit 225 may first perform binarization on the image in order to clarify whether the edge area is closed.

In addition, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine whether the closed area extracted from the image corresponds to the appearance of the object to be identified, and may identify the object from within the image.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the false order blocking unit 225 may identify whether the brand of the store is included in the received image. Here, the brand of the store may be any one of symbols, characters, or figures used to identify the product or service of the store, but is not limited thereto.

In this case, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is not a false order when the brand of the store is included in the image. Conversely, if the brand of the store is not included in the image, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is a false order.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the false order blocking unit 225 may identify whether tableware used to provide a store service is included in the received image.

In this case, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is not a false order when the tableware of the store is included in the image. Conversely, the false order blocking unit 225 may determine that the product order is a false order if the image does not contain tableware from the store.

With the following configuration, the image providing unit 230 may output an image that can focus the customer's attention on the payment receipt. Here, the image may be an image received from the mobile communication terminal 100 to determine whether the order is a false order, but is not limited thereto, and may be a preset image.

The image providing unit 230 transmits the image to the capacity of the printer 600 when a product payment has been completed by the order processing unit 220 or when a message informing that the product order has been paid is received from the POS terminal 300. You can pretreat according to ).

When the printer 600 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a laser jet or an ink jet, the image providing unit 230 may resize and rotate an image according to a resolution supported by the printer 600. . In addition, the image providing unit 230 may instruct the printer 600 to print the resized and rotated image.

When the printer 600 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a thermal printer, the image providing unit 230 may resize and rotate an image according to a resolution supported by the printer 600. . The image providing unit 230 may convert the resized and rotated image into grayscale. The image providing unit 230 may dither the image converted to grayscale. In addition, the image providing unit 230 may instruct the printer 600 to print the dithered image.

In more detail with respect to image dithering, the image providing unit 230 may identify a two-dimensional array composed of color values of each pixel constituting an image converted to gray scale. The image providing unit 230 may classify the identified 2D array into a plurality of groups according to horizontal and vertical positions. The image providing unit 230 may calculate an average color value of pixels belonging to each of a plurality of classified groups. The image providing unit 230 may determine the number of white and black to be included in each group based on the calculated average color value. In addition, the image providing unit 230 may convert the image into a black and white image based on the position of each group and the determined number of white and black colors.
