Description

System and method for member management service of offline store {System and method for management of membership of offline store}

The present invention relates to a member management service system and method for an offline store, and more particularly, by using a smart device to automatically receive a membership card of a store that has joined as a member offline, and to provide user-tailored exercise information suitable for the user's health condition. It relates to a member management service system and method of an offline store receiving a recommendation.

A wearable device literally means a device that can be worn on the human body. There are many different types of headsets, clothing, etc. These wearable devices are currently in the stage of rapid dissemination, and among them, wearable glasses, wearable watches, and wearable bands that are closely related to human life and are easy to wear form the most product groups.

Meanwhile, the wearable device is also referred to as a smart device. This is because, although it is necessary to start driving by a user's input, once driving is started, from then on, various additional information can be automatically generated and provided to the user. For example, if a user wearing a wearable watch wants to measure his/her heart rate, the wearable watch measures the user's heart rate as soon as the user presses the heart rate measurement input button. can be provided to users. On the other hand, recently, many wearable devices that do not need to be started by a user's input have also appeared. For example, in the case of a wearable band, the user's heart rate can be continuously measured even if there is no driving start by the user's input, and wearable devices in the future are likely to develop in a direction that does not require driving start by the user's input. very high This is because the convenience of driving the device is increased as much as no user input is required.

The sources of various additional information provided by the wearable device to the user are information measured by the user. Therefore, the wearable device must necessarily mount a sensor for measuring various information from the user, and the more the types of the mounted sensor, the more information can be measured from the user. Therefore, in recent wearable devices, a heart rate sensor, a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, and a foot count sensor tend to be necessarily mounted, and research for mounting various sensors in a limited space inside the device is continuing.

The wearable device may measure information from a user through a mounted sensor, and then may generate various additional information based on this and provide it to the user. For example, by measuring the user's current location, information on nearby stores or products related to the user's interest may be provided. The provision of such additional information may be provided through the function of the wearable device itself, but since it is impossible to provide all the additional information necessary for different users in one wearable device, recently, applications installed on the wearable device are being developed together. Here, the application can be viewed as a kind of application program, and may play a role of generating and providing various additional information based on information measured through the function of the wearable device itself. In the above example, both provision of information on nearby stores or products related to the user's interest may be performed by the application. That is, whenever a new application is developed, additional information that can be provided to the user through the wearable device is inevitably diversified, and the development of the application can be viewed as a companion moving forward along with the development of the wearable device itself.

Meanwhile, recently, building a system that enables payment through wearable devices is emerging as a major concern in the related industry. For example, by including a Near Frequency Communication (NFC) function in the wearable device itself and registering the user's credit card in the application, the user can make payment through the wearable device without taking out his or her wallet. That is, a mobile wallet function can be performed by replacing the conventional wallet.

On the other hand, a general system has been established that provides services by issuing a membership card of a store registered as a member on a smartphone. However, in the conventional system, when a member joins offline, a membership card is not automatically issued at the same time as the member joins. In addition, there is no technology that provides an exercise equipment and exercise method suitable for the user even when the user visits the store.

When entering a specific store is recognized, the authenticator 230 determines whether the store is available by inquiring the period of use from the recognized store's membership card.

That is, when the user wearing the smart device 200 enters the store, the authenticator 230 recognizes the entered store. In this case, the store entry recognition method is different depending on whether or not there is a reader that reads the membership card in the store. First, if there is a reader that reads the membership card in the store, when a user wearing the smart device 200 enters the store and approaches the reader, the reader reads the membership card stored in the storage unit 260 and enters One store can be recognized. Next, a case in which a reader for reading a membership card does not exist in a store will be described. In this case, the authentication unit 230 compares the location information measured by the sensor unit 210 with the store location of the store-related information stored in the storage unit 260, selects a matching store location, and enters the selected store location. The corresponding store is recognized as the store entered.

When the store entered as described above is recognized, the authentication unit 230 extracts the recognized store membership card from the storage unit 260, and determines whether the store is available by inquiring the expiration date from the extracted membership card. .

For example, when a user enters the fitness center and has close access to the exercise equipment of the fitness center or the door lock device of the exercise place, the period of use of the exercise equipment or the door lock device is inquired from the pre-stored membership card, and the exercise equipment or A door lock device may be used. In addition, in order to use the locker, user authentication and card authentication are performed using card information and user information transmitted from the membership card through membership card recognition, and only authenticated users are allowed to use the locker. In this case, the user authentication and card authentication are preferably performed by matching by receiving the corresponding card information and user information stored in advance from a service server connected through a wired/wireless communication network.

The recommendation unit 240 generates user-customized exercise information based on the recognized store-related information and the health state based on the biometric information measured by the sensor unit 210 when the authentication result of the authentication unit 230 allows the store to be used. do.
