Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the receipt of the barcode may be performed by accessing the barcode issuing server 500 using a mobile communication terminal owned by the client client 200 and downloading the barcode.

After the receipt, the customer client 200 purchases the merchandise from the seller 400, and then presents the barcode (step S200).

Here, the presentation of the bar code is made after the user of the client client 200 purchases the goods in the sales company 400 using the received bar code of the predetermined format. The barcode information is read using the barcode information input unit 320 of 300, and then transferred to the barcode information transmitter 330.

As a result of transmitting the presented barcode information to the barcode issuing server 500 and authenticating it, if it is possible to use the barcode (step S300), it is determined whether to use a predetermined mileage point for the purchased product price (step S400). ).

Here, the barcode information includes a user name, resident registration number, residential address, e-mail address, and previously accumulated mileage point information of the client client 200. The barcode information is transmitted as shown in FIG. Through the unit 330 is made.

In addition, the authentication is possible by receiving the barcode information from the barcode information receiving / authentication unit 540 shown in FIG. 4 and determining the presence / absence of the same data as the barcode information in the barcode information storage unit 530. The determination of whether to use the mileage points is a choice of the user of the customer client 200 who has purchased the product from the seller 400.
