When the user pays a deposit, the user's account is provided (charged) with a predetermined amount (e.g., 1.5 times) more than the amount of the deposit amount, and the user uses the cyber money to use the online server according to the present invention (hereinafter, You can make a reservation for the performance by connecting to the website. Hereinafter, the cyber money used in the present invention is referred to as an arc.

In the present invention, reservation and advance reservation are used to some extent in a separate concept. If the act of accessing the service provider's computer through the Internet and applying for the tour is called reservation, and the payment or settlement of the amount set by the service provider for the performance is called advance reservation, Booking and booking can be seen as a process. However, in the present invention, the prepaid deposit is divided into a prepaid deposit by paying a fee, and a performance that suits one's own propensity can be booked by using an arc, which is a cash point provided as a payment for the deposit. To be able. Through this, the user can apply for viewing of the fee that he / she pre-payed, and is given the right to view without directly paying or paying for the performance. In addition, a service environment in which cancellation of the performance reservation is processed immediately is established, and through such a real-time service environment, it is possible to meet the needs of customers as much as possible.

The member information manager 120 manages the cyber money status and the performance reservation status of each user. In addition, various personal information, club status, etc. are managed together with the note function. Here, the cyber money is preferably managed separately by the type (genre) of the performance.

The cyber money charging unit 110 is a cyber equivalent to a predetermined multiple or more of a purchase amount when a user connected through a communication network connection means (computer, mobile communication terminal, etc.) pays or pays a purchase amount (a concept of depositing a deposit). Provide money. Here, the provided arc is filled in the user account managed by the member information management unit 120. And, in order to have an advantage over the existing reservation system, the predetermined multiple is preferably at least 1.5 times or more, and may be considered up to three times or more.

The user is registered as a scheduler of the performance. That is, the right to view through the seat secured in advance is granted.

The cyber money exchange unit 130 processes the customized type change request in a state where the total amount of arcs of the user account managed by the member information manager 120 is greater than or equal to a predetermined amount. Here, the predetermined amount is the sum of the total amount of arcs (eg, 10%) in the customized type of the minimum purchase amount. That is, the customized type change service can be used only when the total arc amount of the user account is more than the predetermined amount. The custom type change service deducts a fee from the total arc amount, and then redistributes the arcs of each genre according to the new custom type (the term exchange) has the same meaning.

Specific operation manners of the present invention in the system configuration of FIG. 1 will be described together in the method embodiments of FIGS. 2 to 5. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a prepaid performance reservation service according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as a first embodiment).

First, a user accesses this site through a communication network and inputs personal information for membership registration (step 200). This website is basically a member system.

Next, the user pays or pays a deposit (step 220). In this case, the payment or settlement method may be a passbook payment or a card payment. The amount of the deposit can be selected by the user, for example, there may be 10,000 won, 30,000 won, 50,000 won, 100,000 won. Payment payment process of the deposit is a process for the user to receive (charge) the arc required to use the performance reservation service, it is preferable to be performed together in the member registration process. In this case, the site will take the form of a paid membership. Of course, the deposit may be further paid or settled later.

Through such a prepayment, a seat can be secured at a discounted price, thereby providing a performance viewing service to the user at a discounted price.

Next, when the payment payment of the deposit is confirmed, an arc corresponding to the amount of the predetermined multiple of the deposit is charged to the user account (step 230). When the user accesses the main site through the network access means and logs in, the user can check his or her arc through the cyber money status of the user account displayed on the web page screen.

In this case, it is desirable to confirm the deposit payment within 24 hours, and return the result to the user as soon as possible. In addition, the predetermined multiple is preferably at least 1.5 times or more, and may be considered up to three times or more in order to have an advantage over the existing reservation system.

Here, the types of performances that can be reserved include movies, in addition to plays, concerts, and musicals. Of course, other genres may be included, and in some cases, depending on the operation plan of this site, only some of the genres may be provided.

In addition, an arc corresponding to a viewing fee is displayed on each performance, which is set to an amount substantially the same as the ratio of the discount amount through prepayment. For example, suppose an arc of three times the purchase amount is provided. If you have a seat at a price of 1/3 (3 times as much as the prepaid amount), if the normal viewing fee is 10,000 won, then the viewing arc will be set to 10,000 arc substantially. Ignored). If you have a seat at a price of 1/2, it will be set to 15,000 arc; if you have a seat at a price of 2/3, it will be set to 20,000 arc. In other words, the ratio of the normal amount to the discount amount is applied to the viewing amount indicated by arc.

In addition, even when the user cancels the performance reservation, the allocation of the reserved seat is canceled in advance (reserving the registration of the reservation person), and this is immediately reflected in the performance reservation status of the user. Since the present invention is based on the prepaid deposit method, the refund problem due to the cancellation of the reservation in the existing online reservation / advance is easily solved.

In addition, the site is preferably provided with a means for acquiring the arc in addition to the deposit payment. For example, various arc acquisition means such as membership registration, recommender registration, recommendation performance viewing, event participation, survey participation, advertisement quiz participation, affiliate card subscription or payment, membership in a group, and description of performance viewing are provided.

In addition, in order to expand this website into a comprehensive website, it is desirable to provide a means for using cyber money in addition to the performance reservation service. For example, paid games, online purchase services, and the like may be provided. In other words, arc in this site is not the concept of earning points, but can be used like real money cash. However, since arc has value in cash only on this site, it is advisable to refund the remaining arc after subtracting the actual cost of the performance that the member has already watched.

Subsequently, another embodiment of the present invention for classifying arcs by genre will be described. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of providing a prepaid performance reservation service according to another embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, referred to as a second embodiment).

First, a user accesses this site operated by a membership system through a communication network, and inputs personal information for membership registration (step 300).

Next, a screen for guiding a customized type to a user connected to the main site through a network connection means is provided, and the user selects a desired customized type (step 310). Here, the custom type can be understood as a kind of product in which an arc of a predetermined multiple or more of a purchase amount is pre-assigned (at least one or more arcs are distributed) to an item such as a play, a movie, a concert, a musical, and the like. It is divided by genre and type.
