Description

Point integration service provision system between merchants {SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING POINT MERGING SERVICE BETWEEN FRANCHISE}

The present invention relates to a point integration service providing system between affiliated stores, and provides a system for integrating and using user's points for each branch and between each affiliated store.

Recently, as the use of smart phones and internet services has become common, various marketing and services using them have appeared. In fact, there are many cases where services with various names are no different from existing systems that are actively utilized through smartphones, but in some cases, as services become more active, their qualitative characteristics change. One of the many systems that are rapidly being used in connection with information and communication technology is the point system. Bonus points are given at a certain rate according to the customer's product purchase or service usage performance, and when the specified score is reached, the point system is used to purchase the product. It has been described as a system that enables users to use or use services. It can be seen as a way to attract customers with a kind of loyalty program. From coffee shops to Internet open markets, telecommunications companies, airlines, oil companies, and financial companies, it is impossible to count the scope, so the management is also becoming cumbersome.

At this time, a platform that pays points or mileage for membership in virtual currency has been researched and developed. -0117212 (disclosed on October 16, 2019), in order to share operating profits when paying mileage, virtual currency is provided based on blockchain for profits generated between consumers, affiliates, and small and medium-sized manufacturers, and user mileage When the information is transmitted to the server, a configuration for deducting mileage and providing blockchain-based virtual currency according to the request of the airline is disclosed.

However, since both the former and the latter configurations provide individual mileage or points, virtual currency cannot be provided to the extent of benefiting the customer. In other words, each company operates a mileage or point system, but users who are individuals, not business operators, do not purchase or use a company's products or services in large enough numbers to benefit from points. Points are only a small amount of money for each individual, so they do not increase loyalty in collecting mileage. The need for points and the demand for their value are quite high. Considering the cash value of points, the breadth of probability of use, effort to acquire, appropriateness, convenience, economic usefulness, and benefits of use, each individual spends a lot of money and effort because of points. will not do Therefore, research and development of a platform that can lock-in users by integrating the points of each affiliate and providing them as coins is required.

Linkage is provided, and linkage between at least one kiosk 500 may be set. At this time, REST API can be used for interworking between each component. At this time, to explain the basic concept of REST API, REST stands for Representational State Transfer, which is a software architecture style operated in distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web. Although various web architecture styles have been defined in the past, it is a network-based architecture to better reflect the characteristics of modern web architecture. REST was primarily used as a means of conveying web concepts while developing based on the HTTP/1.0 specification and early HTTP/1.1. The biggest feature is that it is based on ROA (Resource Oriented Architecture), which expresses all resources as resources, so that HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers) and methods can be used simply. In other words, it is a simple interface that can transmit resources on the web without a separate transport layer such as HTTP to SOAP or session tracking through cookies. It is also a hybrid style derived from several network-based architectural styles, providing constraints that define uniform connector interfaces.

To explain the design goal of REST API, REST was developed through an attempt to apply HTTP as it is. The core design goal of REST is to provide more efficient services or perform tasks by combining flexible interoperability components between components. There is a purpose. Since the universal interface is based on HTTP and URI, which are used as standards, it provides a universal interface that can be used anywhere. As for the independent distribution of components, although the components are interlocked and used based on REST, they can be independently distributed and developed as completely independent programs. In addition, it plays the role of an intermediate component that reduces latency, strengthens security, and encapsulates legacy systems. Since the REST server acts as an intermediate component between the client and the end server, the client can use the service without directly connecting to the end server. Load balancing and shared memory (cache) can be used through the REST server structure that acts as an intermediary between the client and server, and it is easy to improve availability, scalability, and performance, and apply security policies, and is a representative open source solution. There are NGINX and WSO2

<Microservice>

An API according to an embodiment of the present invention can develop a software application program using a microservice architecture or convert an existing application program/service into a microservice. In any case, it's important to properly size, scope, and function microservices to meet the agility of service development and delivery. Consideration finds the boundaries of services and compares them to business capabilities, ensures that microservice design ensures agile and independent development and service, size and scope are aimed at facilitating a given business function, and unlike SOAP, Microservices have very few functions and simple message formats, starting with a wide range of services that can be refactored into smaller requirements.

<Messaging of microservices>

In a monolithic application, the business functions of multiple processors/components are messaging between services through function calls or language-level method calls. REST-based convergence services have been translated into more loosely coupled web service-level messaging and are based on the HTTP protocol. In synchronous messaging REST, the client waits for a response from the service. It provides a simple messaging style implemented as an HTTP request-response based REST API where all resources are represented as resources. In a microservices architecture, software applications are composed of independent services. Therefore, to realize business use cases, there must be a communication structure between the various microservices/processes.

<API-Gateway style>

Use a message gateway as the primary entry point for all clients and implement general non-functional requirements at this level. This allows the use of APIs managed through REST/HTTP, provides the necessary abstraction at the gateway level of existing microservices, enables lightweight message routing and transformation, and enables the application of non-functional requirements such as security and monitoring. and lightweight microservices. Functionality is distributed in a microservices architecture, so using the same central database ensures that each service is not independent. So each microservice has its own database. The key elements of distributed data management are: Each microservice can access only individual databases and cannot access other databases. In some business scenarios, multiple databases may need to be updated for a single transaction, and in these cases, updating can be done through an API.

<Service Registry and Services>

In a microservices architecture, the number of services is quite large and their locations change dynamically due to their rapid and agile development/deployment nature. Therefore, the location of the microservice must be found during runtime. A solution to this problem is to use the service registry and service discovery facilities. ① A microservice instance is registered in the service registry when it starts, and unregistered when it terminates. Consumers find available microservices and their location via the registry. ② A service discovery mechanism is needed to find available microservices and their location. There are two types of client discovery and server discovery. ③ The client or API Gateway queries the service registry and receives the location data of the service instance. The client or API Gateway sends a request to the received service instance location.

In the microservice architecture, each microservice can be independently deployed, service level extended, and built quickly, and errors in a specific microservice must not affect other services. Containers can be applied to deploy services to address this requirement. A representative container is Docker, and the main steps to use it are as follows: ① Microservices are packaged as Docker container images, ② Each service instance is deployed as a container, ③ Extension is performed by changing the number of container instances, and ④ Rapid development, deployment, and execution are supported.

Microservice architectures can leverage popular API security standards such as OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. OAuth2 authenticates the client's authority with the access delegation protocol and secures an access token. It contains no information about the user/client and has only references that are searchable only on the authentication server. It is also safely applied on public networks/internet. In OpenID Connect, similar to OAuth, but in addition to an access token, the authentication server issues an ID token containing user/client information. It is mainly implemented by JWT (JSON Web Token) and signed by the authentication server. By leaving the authentication to the OAuth and OpenID Connect servers, the microservice is authorized to use someone's data and can access it successfully. In this case, we use the API Gateway style with a single entry point for all client requests. The client connects to the authorization server to obtain an access token and sends a request message to API Gateway with it. API Gateway can pass tokens and requests to microservices.

The demand prediction unit 350 may predict order demand using at least one artificial intelligence algorithm and provide the predicted order demand to at least one affiliated store terminal 400 .

<Order Demand Forecast>

Delivery orders are received through applications, so when the size, size, and variety of these data become large enough, big data can be built and order demand can be predicted. By predicting the number of orders used according to time and weather, basic information for weather management and efficient time management can be presented. If data are insufficient, more public data can be used, and one-way analysis of variance and independent t-tests can be performed to determine whether the number of orders is affected by weather and time variables. As a result of the analysis, if there is a statistically significant difference in the number of orders by day, time, and season, it means that time factors and meteorological factors are influencing the use of orders.

To this end, the relationship between time factors, meteorological factors, and the number of uses of orders can be examined through machine learning. For example, a random forest model and a support vector machine model can be used, and the square root error (RMSE) The results of the learning models can be compared. If you look at the variable importance of the random forest model, if it appears in the order of time, day, month, average temperature, and precipitation, you can use this to predict real-time order demand. Guidelines can be given to perform supply chain management according to

The platform according to an embodiment of the present invention enables demand forecasting for each item group using menu sales performance, and can perform demand forecasting based on a decomposition method combining a time series technique and a causal technique. Using data accumulated on the platform of the present invention can help predict demand for food orders. In the decomposition method, Fpt is defined as the predicted demand of the menu group p to be predicted for each time point t, and the index according to time is Tpt (trend factor), Cpt (cyclic factor), Spt (seasonal factor), Rpt (random factor), etc. In reflection, it can be expressed as Equation 2 below.

At this time, the exponential value of each factor can be obtained through actual data analysis. In the food service industry, the branch manager or manager has the authority to establish a sales plan using the results of demand forecasting. If i is defined as a manager and a branch manager who establishes a sales plan, demand forecasting should be performed for each manager and branch manager and provided as a reference value, and Equation 2 is calculated as follows by considering the predicted demand Fipt of each unit store or branch. It can be expressed as in Equation 3.

The store manager and branch manager refer to the demand forecast result provided in Equation 3 and reflect the demand change identified in real time to establish a sales plan Dipt as shown in Equation 4.

In Equation 4, αipt is a prediction reflection index used for each menu group to establish a sales plan by referring to the demand forecast result at each store or branch.

<Establishment of production plan>

After a sales plan is established by referring to the results of demand forecasting, production proceeds according to the quantity of the sales plan. In addition, the person who established the sales plan takes absolute responsibility for the menu inventory produced using the sales plan results, and the sales planner is responsible for the inventory produced, which is called PSI (Production, Sales, Inventory). do. Since the sales plan is established in units of menu groups, the branch manager of the branch or the manager of the unit store where the sales plan is established is given PSI responsibility in units of menu groups. When the sales plan and production plan are linked and the generated inventory is made responsible for the sales plan setter, the setter actively utilizes the results of the demand forecast. Since they will be held responsible for the results of underproduction or overproduction, the production manager must accurately focus on the sales plan.

When establishing a production plan based on the menu group sales plan, the quantity Mpt to be produced for the menu group p at time t can be derived as the sum of the individual sales plans according to Equation 5.

Since the production planning result derived as in Equation 5 is for the menu group, the production planning result value must be disaggregated again to obtain the production planning result for each menu (SKU) unit that can be used at the production site. When the individual menu unit production plan quantity is Ast, it can be obtained as in Equation 6.

At this time, βpt is the individual menu unit distribution index of the menu group production plan obtained by using the sales performance ratio of the immediately preceding period for each individual menu unit. Equation 5 must be satisfied between the planned production amount of the menu group and the planned production amount allocated to each individual menu unit. Of course, it will be apparent that demand can be predicted in various ways other than the above-described method and is not limited to the above-described method.

The food material order management unit 360 may order food materials to perform supply chain management in response to predicted demand. At this time, the seller terminal (not shown) uploads data on the remaining amount of food ingredients used in at least one type of order, sets the category and price of the food ingredients, and determines whether to accept or not to sell when a purchase event for the food ingredients is received. there is. At this time, VMI (Vendor Managed Inventory) is a strategy in which producers directly manage sellers' inventory based on cooperative relationships between producers and sellers in the supply chain. In the traditional inventory management technique, the producer supplies food ingredients based on the seller's order, whereas in the VMI environment, the producer determines the replenishment time and amount of food material inventory based on the seller's sales and inventory information. To this end, sharing of demand information based on a strong partnership between producers and sellers is essential.

When VMI is applied, there is an advantage in that sellers can concentrate on sales of food materials without worrying about replenishment of inventory, and producers can focus only on producing food materials and supplying them to sellers. In addition, from the supply chain perspective, the overall inventory level is reduced compared to traditional inventory management techniques, and at the same time, the customer's service level is improved, enabling a win-win for both producers and sellers. As a result, the application of VMI is increasing. Accordingly, VMI can also be applied to the remaining amount of food materials according to an embodiment of the present invention. In this case, companies can automatically manage and process the remaining amount of food materials without having an employee who manages them, and buyers can also directly manage the remaining amount of food materials. You can automatically match and receive food materials without the effort of seeking. At this time, the following inventory management model in a distributed manufacturing environment can be used. A distributed manufacturing environment may reflect the scattering of different food material delivery companies.

The catering unit 370, when ordering at least one menu from at least one affiliated store in the user terminal 100, if the at least one affiliated store belongs to the same branch, the order is integrated and created as a combined order After that, you can make a delivery request.

Hereinafter, an operation process according to the configuration of the integrated service providing server of FIG. 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 as examples. However, it will be apparent that the embodiment is only any one of various embodiments of the present invention, and is not limited thereto.
