1 illustrates an environment in which a kiosk integrated payment system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is used. Referring to FIG. 1 , a user enters a general facility 110 (hereinafter referred to as a general facility) such as a large complex shopping mall, a multiplex, an office building, or a general store building through a vehicle 210 to the general facility 110 . A situation can be envisaged using .

In the conventional case, first, the user enters the parking lot of the general facility 110 through the vehicle 210 . Thereafter, the user purchases an item or uses a service through the kiosks 101 and 102 installed at a plurality of branches (eg, a clothing store, a movie theater, a restaurant, etc.), and pays a payment for it. The user who has finished using the comprehensive facility 110 may leave the comprehensive facility 110 through the vehicle 210 , and at this time, the user may pay for the parking fee through the kiosk 103 installed in the parking lot. That is, in the conventional case, the user has to process payment multiple times through the kiosks 101 and 102 installed at various points, and the parking fee must also be paid through the kiosk 103 installed in the parking lot. . Although many general facilities 110 are implementing a policy of discounting parking fees according to the amount used in the stores, the procedure of confirming this when paying the parking fee may add inconvenience to the user.

However, in the integrated kiosk payment system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user's product price or service usage fee that can be paid through the kiosk within the general facility 110 and the general facility 110 are It is intended to provide a user experience that can significantly improve the user's convenience in using the comprehensive facility 110 by integrating and paying the parking fee using the parking lot. The kiosk integrated payment system 100 includes a plurality of kiosks 101 and 102 installed inside the comprehensive facility 110 and a kiosk 103 for parking fees and a parking lot system 104 that manages vehicle entry to and exit from the parking lot. may include Hereinafter, the kiosk integrated payment system 100 will be referred to as the integrated system 100, and with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Let's take a look at a scenario in which a service that integrates payment is provided.

2 illustrates a process when a user integrates and performs a plurality of payments in the integrated facility 110 in the kiosk integrated payment system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the process may start in step S201 in which the integrated system 100 obtains the license plate number of the vehicle 210 entering the parking lot of the comprehensive facility 110 . For example, the parking lot system 104 of the integrated system 100 may obtain the vehicle number by recognizing the vehicle number of the vehicle 210 entering the parking lot using LPR (license plate recognition).

Next, the process may lead to the step ( S203 ) in which the integrated system 100 matches the information for the integrated payment and the vehicle number. Specifically, the user may request an integrated payment through the kiosks 101 , 102 , 103 installed in the general facility 110 . Here, the integrated payment refers to a service that can be paid at once by integrating the payment and/or parking fee payment made at the kiosks installed in the general facility 110 . When the integrated system 100 receives the user's request for the integrated payment, the integrated system 100 may match payment information (eg, payment means) for the integrated payment with the vehicle number of the vehicle 210 used by the user. For another example, the integrated system 100 may generate integrated payment unique information (ID, identifier) corresponding to the vehicle number, and may generate authentication information such as a password for integrated payment.

Next, the process may lead to a step S205 in which the integrated system 100 accumulates the payment amount in the matched vehicle number whenever the user pays for goods and services through the kiosks 101 , 102 , 103 . For example, when a user purchases goods or services through the kiosks 101 , 102 , 103 , the purchase can be completed only by inputting a vehicle number. Since the vehicle number and payment information are matched (or linked) in step S203, the user can purchase goods or services without the hassle of making a new payment at the time of payment. For another example, the step of accumulating the payment amount in the vehicle number may correspond to integrated payment unique information, and may require input of authentication information such as a password at the time of payment.

Next, the process may lead to a step ( S207 ) in which the integrated system 100 integrates and settles the accumulated payment amount and parking fee through the confirmed vehicle number when the user's vehicle 210 exits. For example, the user may exit from the parking lot through the vehicle 210 that has been used after completing all duties in the general facility 110 . At this time, the parking lot system 104 included in the integrated system 100 can recognize the vehicle number of the vehicle 210 leaving the vehicle, and can pay by integrating the payment amount and the parking fee accumulated in the recognized vehicle number. there is. That is, the integrated system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure allows the user using the comprehensive facility 110 to process goods and services purchase fees and parking fees with only one payment, thereby reducing user fatigue due to frequent payments and , companies in the comprehensive facility 110 have the effect of saving manpower and energy required to process the payment. In addition, the integrated system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure allows the user to experience a new user experience in which payment is completed only by the act of getting out of the shopping mall by vehicle.

3 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a step of matching payment information and vehicle number for an integrated payment in the kiosk integrated payment system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 3 may be a flowchart specifically illustrating step S203 illustrated in FIG. 2 . 4A to 4D illustrate graphic user interfaces (GUIs) that may be displayed in the kiosks 101 , 102 , and 103 to provide an integrated payment service upon request to the user.

Referring to FIG. 3 , the process may start from step S301 in which the integrated system 100 receives a signal requesting the integrated payment service from the kiosk (eg, 101 , 102 , 103 ). For example, referring to FIG. 4A , the kiosk device 400 may include a display 410 displaying a GUI and an operation unit 420 including a barcode reader, an ATM and/or a card reader. In FIG. 4A , the display 410 may display information on a product that the user currently intends to pay for, and may display a GUI for payment. The GUI for payment includes the first icon 411 indicating that only the current product is simply paid, such as 'Pay Now', The second icon 412 for requesting the integrated payment service and the third icon 413 through which the user who has signed up for the integrated payment service can request the integrated payment may be displayed through the second icon 412 . In step S301, the integrated system 100 detects that the user selects the second icon 412 in the kiosk device 400 in order to request an integrated payment service that allows the user to pay not only the current product but also the parking fee. can mean

As a next step, the process may lead to step S403 of receiving a vehicle number input to confirm the user's vehicle. When the user requests the provision of the integrated payment service in step S401 , as shown in FIG. 4B , the kiosk device 400 may display a GUI 414 requesting input of a vehicle number on the display 410 . Although not shown, the integrated system 100 may further perform an operation of collating the received vehicle number with the number of the vehicle entering the comprehensive facility 110 after receiving the vehicle number from the user through the GUI 414 . . The integrated system 100 re-requests the input of the correct vehicle number when it is confirmed that the received vehicle number is not in the vehicle or when the user and the vehicle number cannot be specified, such as when a plurality of vehicle numbers exist. GUI can be displayed.

As a next step, the process may lead to step S305 of receiving an input of authentication information used by the user to use the integrated payment. In an embodiment, the authentication information may include a separate password. As shown in FIG. 4C , the kiosk device 400 may display a GUI 415 requesting input of a password on the display 410 . The password input in step S305 may function as a means for authenticating the user when the user uses the integrated payment again later.

In another embodiment, the authentication information may be. It may include information for logging in to an online platform (eg, a search platform, an online shopping mall, etc.). In another embodiment, the kiosk device 400 may provide the user with authentication information such as a QR code or barcode as a means for the user to authenticate himself/herself by displaying the authentication information on the screen. In this case, the user can store authentication information, such as a QR code or barcode, and use it during the authentication procedure for an integrated payment later. Although FIG. 4C shows and describes an embodiment of inputting a password as a means for authenticating a user, the kiosk device 400 of the present disclosure may be provided with a suitable GUI according to various authentication means provided by the integrated system 100 . .

As a next step, the process may lead to a step (S307) in which the user receives payment information required for the integrated payment. As shown in FIG. 4D , the kiosk device 400 may display a GUI 416 that displays a payment method to be used for the integrated payment on the display 410 . For example, the GUI 416 may display icons for selecting various online payment methods such as credit card, NEOPAY and KAOOPay. Alternatively, a payment method may be selected by logging in to a platform (eg, a search platform, an online shopping mall, etc.) to which an online payment method is already linked. When the user selects a payment method in the GUI 416 , the kiosk device 400 may further display a GUI for obtaining payment information corresponding to the selected payment method. For example, when the user selects a credit card, the kiosk device 400 may display a guide for inducing insertion of the credit card on the card reader included in the operation unit 420 to obtain credit card information. . As another example, when the user selects a payment method for logging into the platform, the kiosk device 400 may display a GUI for inducing input of information for logging into the corresponding platform. In addition, in various embodiments, an appropriate GUI or guide voice corresponding to the selected payment method may be output.

As a next step, the process may lead to a step (S309) of matching the obtained payment information and vehicle information, and as a next step, a step (S311) of accumulating the payment amount of the product to be purchased currently in the matched vehicle information. can The payment information obtained here may be used to pay the current product payment price and all of the product or service price and parking fee purchased by the user in the general facility 110 in the future. Here, the payment information is encrypted and managed, and after the provision of the integrated payment service is completed, it is permanently destroyed so that it cannot be recovered, thereby preventing problems that may occur as the payment information is maliciously leaked.

5 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a step of accumulating a payment amount in a vehicle number matched during a kiosk payment in the kiosk integrated payment system 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 may be a flowchart specifically illustrating step S205 illustrated in FIG. 2 . 6 illustrates a graphic user interface (GUI) that may be displayed in the kiosks 101 , 102 , and 103 to accumulate payment amounts in the vehicle number through the integrated payment service.

Referring to FIG. 5 , the process may start in step S501 of receiving a signal requesting payment through the integrated payment service for payment for product purchase or service use. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A , it may mean that the integrated system 100 detects a user input for a third icon 413 requesting an integrated payment displayed on the kiosk device 400 .

As a next step, the process may lead to a step (S503) of receiving authentication information for authenticating the user for the user's integrated payment. In various embodiments, the kiosk device 400 may perform a procedure for authenticating a user linked with payment information for an integrated payment, and when the authentication procedure is effectively completed, the authentication information is transferred to the kiosk integrated payment system 100 . can be sent to According to an embodiment, when an input of a password for authenticating a user is received through the kiosk device 400 (eg, step S305 of FIG. 3 ), as shown in FIG. 6 , the integrated system 100 is the kiosk device 400 ), it is possible to receive the input of the user's vehicle number and a password corresponding thereto through the GUI 610 displayed. If the entered vehicle number and password are valid, the process may proceed to the next step. According to another embodiment, the kiosk device 400 is a method of logging in again to a platform (eg, a search platform, an online shopping mall, etc.) to which the online payment method that the user has logged in to provide payment information for the integrated payment is linked. The user authentication process may proceed. According to another embodiment, the kiosk device 400 may provide various authentication means for user authentication. For example, the kiosk device 400 may further include a device capable of specifying and authenticating a user, for example, an image recognition device such as a barcode reader or a QR code reader, and using this to perform a user authentication procedure can

As a next step, when the user is authenticated through step S503, the process may lead to step S505 of accumulating the payment amount of the product to be purchased currently in vehicle information corresponding to the user. The payment information obtained here may be used to pay the current product payment price and all of the product or service price and parking fee purchased by the user in the general facility 110 in the future. Here, the payment information is encrypted and managed, and after the provision of the integrated payment service is completed, it is permanently destroyed so that it cannot be recovered, thereby preventing problems that may occur as the payment information is maliciously leaked.
