When the first user selects a courier coupon to be used in order to use the courier coupon stored in his account of the courier coupon storage unit 130 and requests a courier application by pressing the courier request button displayed on the terminal screen (S120) ), the courier coupon activation unit 120 may transmit a courier delivery request to the courier company server 200 using the selected courier coupon (S130). The amount set in the delivery coupon selected by the first terminal 10 is used as the delivery cost.

The courier coupon activation unit 120 may receive delivery information for courier delivery from the first terminal 10. Shipping information includes information of sender (e.g., first user) (e.g., name, address, and phone number), and information of recipient (e.g., third user) (e.g., name, address, and phone number). Number), delivery item information, delivery address, etc. If user information stored in advance in the delivery coupon issuing system 100 is used, the sender's name, address, and phone number do not need to be input. The delivery address may be the same as the sender's address, and may be a place designated by the first user (for example, a convenience store).

When applying for a delivery service to the delivery company server 200, the delivery coupon activation unit 120 may transmit delivery information of the delivery coupon and a unique number of the delivery coupon to the delivery company server 200 (S140 ). The unique number may be generated by the courier coupon sales unit 110 at the time of purchase of the courier coupon, or for the courier coupon selected when the courier coupon activation unit 120 transmits the courier delivery request, to the courier coupon activation unit 120 It can also be created by The unique number can be formed in various forms, and may be a combination of letters, numbers, and special symbols, or may be in the form of a barcode.

The courier driver may go to the courier delivery address, check the unique number of the courier coupon of the first user, and receive the courier delivery from the first user (S150).

The courier driver reads the unique number of the courier coupon of the first user to the courier driver terminal 210, and the courier driver terminal 210 compares the unique number of the courier coupon previously transmitted from the courier company server 200, and matches If so, the matching fact is transmitted to the courier company server 200 (S160).

When the delivery company server 200 receives the fact that the unique number matches from the delivery driver terminal 210, it transmits an invoice output signal to the delivery driver terminal 210, transmits the invoice information, and sends an invoice from the delivery driver terminal 210.

Since the first user transmits the delivery information to the delivery coupon activation unit 120 while requesting a delivery application, the second user does not need to separately enter the delivery information. When the courier service driver goes to receive the courier service to the address of the second user, the second user only needs to show the unique number of the courier coupon displayed on the second terminal 20 to the courier service driver and deliver the courier service.

The delivery driver reads the identification number of the delivery coupon of the second user to the delivery driver terminal 210, and the delivery driver terminal 210 compares the identification number of the delivery coupon previously transmitted from the delivery company server 200 and matches In this case, the matching fact is transmitted to the delivery company server 200.

When the delivery company server 200 receives the fact that the unique number matches from the delivery driver terminal 210, it transmits an invoice output signal to the delivery driver terminal 210, transmits the invoice information, and sends an invoice from the delivery driver terminal 210. Make it output.

In the above procedures, it has been described that the unique number is stored in the delivery driver terminal 210, and the delivery driver terminal 210 determines whether the user's identification number matches or not, but the unique number is not stored in the delivery driver terminal 210. It is stored only in the delivery company server 200, and the unique number read from the delivery service driver terminal 210 is transmitted to the delivery company server 200, so that the delivery company server 200 checks whether the unique number matches. . When the unique numbers match, the delivery company server 200 instructs the delivery driver terminal 210 to output the invoice.

The delivery coupon issuing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may identify a delivery recipient using a unique identifier.

The unique identifier setting unit 150 may set a unique identifier for the selected delivery coupon when the first terminal 10 of the first user selects at least one of the delivery coupons stored in the delivery coupon storage unit 130. .
