Hereinafter, a coupon service providing system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and a coupon image management server included in the system will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

1 is a block diagram of a coupon service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a coupon service providing system according to an exemplary embodiment includes a coupon request terminal 110, a coupon reception terminal 120, a coupon image management server 140, and a seller terminal 130. .

Coupon service providing system as shown in Figure 1, through the coupon request terminal 110 through the coupon image management server 140 of the communication network to generate a coupon image by combining the image photographed directly by the coupon requester and the message created by the coupon requester Transfer to the other party's coupon receiving terminal 120. The other party may simultaneously check the sender and the coupon-related message through the coupon image downloaded from the coupon image management server 140 at the request of the coupon receiving terminal 120. When the coupon receiver, which is the counterpart who received the coupon image, wants to use the coupon image provided to the coupon receiving terminal 120 to purchase an actual product or service, the coupon image management server 140 corresponds to the coupon receiving terminal 120. The coupon image is received and compared with the coupon image registered in the coupon generation process. If the two coupon images match, the use of the coupon is permitted.

In addition, when a coupon receiver wants to order a product / service using a coupon image at a remote location without directly visiting a retailer, the coupon receiver is remotely connected to the coupon image management server 140 through the coupon receiving terminal 120. You can request to use the coupon by connecting to. In this case, the coupon image management server 140 compares the coupon image delivered by the coupon receiver and the registered coupon image in the coupon generation process, and notifies the seller of the coupon authentication result according to the comparison, thereby enabling remote ordering using the coupon. .

Looking at each component, first, the coupon request terminal 110 is equipped with a camera to take a photographic image, such as a person image of the coupon requester, a background image of the retailer, a product image, etc. By generating user source data and transmitting it to the coupon image management server 140 through a communication network, a coupon issuance request is requested.

For example, the coupon request terminal 110 is connected to the coupon image management server 140 via wired or wireless data communication, and after inputting the phone number of the store to issue the coupon, the user including a picture image of the appearance of the coupon requester Source data is sent to the coupon image management server 140 to execute coupon issuance. The coupon image management server 140 stores the information transmitted from the coupon request terminal 110 to be used for later coupon image authentication.

Here, the user source data includes a photographic image taken alone or together with a coupon requester, a store, a gift to be presented, and a delivery message and product information (eg , A brand name or a shop name written in text), and information (eg, a mobile phone number) about the coupon receiving terminal 120 which is a counterpart to receive the coupon image. FIG. 2 is an exemplary view of the screen of the coupon receiving terminal shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 is a view illustrating an example of a coupon requester who presents a coupon using a unique image, and a coupon image for easily identifying a merchandise and a seller who can use the coupon. It is shown.

When the coupon request terminal 110 requests issuance of a coupon to the coupon image management server 140, the coupon image management server 140 generates a coupon image for registration in which user source data is reflected, issues a coupon, and registers a coupon image for registration. Is registered in the coupon information database 145 (see FIG. 3) together with the coupon generation information (personal information of the coupon requester, such as a mobile phone number). The coupon image management server 140 connects to the seller terminal 130 through a video call path or a wired / wireless internet path, and then the seller terminal of the seller that matches the registration coupon image including the photo image of the coupon requester with the product information ( 130).

The communication path between the coupon request terminal 110 and the coupon image management server 140, the coupon image management server 140, and the seller terminal 130 is established through a video call or a wired / wireless internet connection. In the case of providing the seller source data including the photographic image of the image of the product or the vendor, through the established communication path, to the coupon image management server 140, the coupon image management server 140 may synthesize the user source data and the seller through image composition. The coupon image for registration may be generated by reflecting the source data together.

The coupon image management server 140 uses a unique image instead of using a barcode type coupon in order to easily distinguish the coupon recipient when the coupon requester makes a gift coupon and delivers it to the coupon receiver. For example, the coupon requester may generate a coupon image by synthesizing a coupon image by composing a unique image of a coupon requester presenting a coupon using a coupon request terminal 110 and a unique image of a product or a part of a store photographed at a store location. After registering in the image management server 140, and transmits it to the coupon receiving terminal 120 of the other party through a message delivery path, video call path, Internet path, such as MMS (Multimedia Message Service). When the coupon receiver receiving the coupon image receives a product as a buyer or wants to receive a discount service, the coupon image management server 140 performs the coupon authentication through authentication by image comparison, so that the buyer may receive the product. Make sure

When the coupon requester visits the dealership site and purchases a gift coupon, the image of the coupon requester photographed at the dealership site and a part of the product or the store appear as a unique image on the coupon for purchase of the product. In addition, the coupon requester can compose a message (for example, a congratulatory text, etc.) that he / she desires in the coupon image generated through photographing at the seller's site and deliver the message to the coupon receiver. Can be easily recognized and remembered.

The coupon receiving terminal 120 matching the coupon incoming information, for example, the coupon receiving terminal 120 corresponding to the mobile phone number of the coupon receiver provides a coupon image for registration transmitted from the coupon image management server 140 through a communication network. Receive. Thereafter, when the coupon receiving terminal 120 requests the use of the coupon while accessing the coupon image management server 140 and transmitting the coupon image for purchase, the coupon image management server 140 is the same as the coupon image for the purchase coupon image for purchase. The authentication process to check whether is registered is performed. The coupon receiving terminal 120 establishes a communication path with the coupon image management server 140 through a video call or a wired or wireless Internet connection, and then transmits the coupon image for purchase to the coupon image management server 140 through the established communication path. .

When the seller terminal 130 matching the product information completes the authentication process of the coupon image management server 140, the seller terminal 130 receives an authentication result for the coupon image for purchase from the coupon image management server 140. The product can be provided to the recipient of the coupon or a discount service for the purchase of the product can be applied.

For example, when a coupon receiver (buyer) receiving a gift coupon image visits a corresponding store, requests a coupon use by accessing the coupon image management server 140 through wired or wireless data communication, the coupon image management server 140 stores the corresponding store. The seller terminal 130 of the connection and inform it. Then, if the seller enters the number of the store clerk in the seller terminal 130, the coupon image management server 140 is the coupon terminal, the merchant terminal 130 of the store clerk authentication code, product type and amount, etc. And download, and compares the authentication code received from the seller terminal 130 with the pre-registered database to provide the buyer with a product or service corresponding to the coupon.

Meanwhile, a remote service may be provided when issuing a coupon and selling a product / service.

After the coupon recipient receives the gift coupon image for a gift, it is difficult to directly visit the corresponding retailer, or the product itself is mainly an on-demand product (for example, snack, lunch, ice cream, pizza, etc.), the coupon receiving terminal 120 is wired or wireless data. The coupon image management server 140 may be accessed through a communication or video call path. In such a case, the coupon receiving terminal 120 accesses the coupon image management server 140 and transmits information such as a coupon image received by him and his address (a newly inputted address or a previously registered address). After requesting a remote order, the coupon image management server 140 authenticates the coupon by comparing the coupon image transmitted from the coupon receiving terminal 120 and the coupon image matching and stored coupon image.

For example, the coupon image management server 140 performs an authentication process for checking whether two coupon images are the same by comparing an image file name and a binary code of an image file for two coupon images. And, if the authentication is completed, check the product information of the authenticated coupon and sends a message requesting the seller of the product to immediately deliver the product to the address of the coupon recipient (order). Alternatively, the coupon image management server 140 transmits the coupon image to the seller terminal 130 on a video call path or a wired / wireless internet path between the seller terminal 130 of the store and the seller terminal 130 so that the seller directly checks the coupon image. .

In the process of comparing two coupon images, the coupon image management server 140 may adopt a method of comparing binary codes of the entire file with each other, or comparing only binary codes of a part of the files with respect to two image files. Can be. When comparing only binary codes of a part of a file, diagonal pixel information of two image files is compared or pixel information of a specific offset interval is compared with each other depending on the algorithm employed. Comparing the binary code of the whole file can increase the accuracy of authentication.However, comparing only the binary code of a part of the file can speed up the comparison and reduce the load. You can do it differently. In addition, when comparing two coupon images, the binary code of all or part of the two image files is compared, and the checksum bits included in each image file are also simultaneously compared. The accuracy can be further improved.

In addition, a coupon requester who wants to create a gift coupon does not visit the store directly, but while calling the store through a video call, creates a coupon image using his video call image as user source data, This may be transmitted to the counterpart receiving terminal 120 of the other party, and remote payment may be performed through a video call path.

3 is a detailed configuration diagram of the coupon image management server shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, the coupon image management server 140 may include a coupon image generator 141, a data interface unit 142, a coupon image authentication unit 143, a subscriber information database 144, and a coupon information database 145. ).

Coupon image generating unit 141 is a coupon with a user source data including a picture image of the image of the coupon requester from the coupon request terminal 110, a message to be delivered to the coupon recipient, product information and coupon destination information for the coupon receiving target When the issue request is received, the coupon receiving terminal 120 matching the coupon incoming information included in the user source data through the data interface unit 142 issued after generating a coupon image for registration in which user source data is reflected. Pass the coupon image for registration to.

The coupon image for registration may include a person image included in user source data provided from the coupon request terminal 110, a delivery message, product information, seller information, seller image or product image included in seller source data provided from the seller terminal 130, and the like. Is a unique image that is optionally synthesized. The image of the coupon requester, the product or the seller may be displayed on the registration coupon image, and the purchase recipient may use the registration coupon image only to inform the party who presented the coupon, the status at the time of the gift, the appearance of the product or the vendor. It is easy to identify and remember.

The communication path between the coupon request terminal 110 and the coupon image management server 140 is established through a video call or a wired or wireless Internet connection. Similarly, the communication path between the seller terminal 130 and the coupon image management server 140 is established. In this case, the coupon image generator 141 may be provided with seller source data including a photographic image of a product or a seller image from the seller terminal 130 through a preset communication path. In this case, the coupon image generation unit 141 reflects the user source data and the seller source data through image composition to generate a coupon image for registration, and the data interface unit 142 uses a video call path or a wired or wireless Internet path. The registration coupon image is provided to the seller terminal 130 matching the product information.

The data interface unit 142 sets a video call path or an internet path with each device of the communication network, including the coupon request terminal 110 and the coupon receiving terminal 120, and includes an external image including a coupon image for registration and a coupon image for purchase. It plays a role of transmitting and receiving data.

When the coupon image authentication unit 143 receives a coupon use request together with the coupon image for purchase from the coupon receiving terminal 120, the coupon image authentication unit 143 checks whether or not the same coupon image for registration is registered and authenticates the registration. After confirming the product information of the coupon generation information matching the coupon image for the dragon, and transmits the authentication result to the seller terminal 130 corresponding to the product information through the data interface unit 142. The coupon image authentication unit 143 performs authentication by comparing the purchase coupon image and the registration coupon image to each other, and during the authentication process, comparing all or part of the binary code of the purchase coupon image and the registration coupon image to each other You can determine whether the image files match, and when comparing the binary code of two image files, you can compare the checksum bits together to improve the accuracy of authentication.

A coupon image for registration is registered in the coupon information database 145, and coupon generation information (coupon requester information, coupon recipient information, vendor / product information, etc.) matching the registration coupon image is registered in the subscriber information database 144. .

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying Figure 4 with respect to the coupon service providing method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a coupon service providing method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

The coupon request terminal 110 generates user source data including a photo image photographed by a camera, a message to be delivered to the coupon receiver, product information, and coupon reception information, and requests coupon issuance to the coupon image management server 140.

Here, the photographic image may be a photograph of a coupon requester, and in particular, the coupon requester may directly visit a seller having a seller terminal 130 and photograph a product image of a seller and a person's image. That is, in addition to the user source data provided by the coupon request terminal 110, the seller or product image of the seller source data provided by the seller terminal 130 may be used as the photo image used for issuing the coupon. For example, when a coupon requester attempts to generate a coupon remotely without directly visiting a seller, the coupon requester connects a video call or wired / wireless data communication with the seller terminal 130 using the coupon receiving terminal 120. During the communication, the coupon issuing menu may be selected and the coupon image management server 140 may be connected to request coupon issuance. In this case, a communication path between the coupon request terminal 110 and the coupon image management server 140, the coupon image management server 140, and the seller terminal 130 is established through a video call or a wired or wireless Internet connection. 130 may provide the seller source data to the coupon image management server 140.

The coupon image management server 140 generates a coupon image for registration in which user source data is reflected according to the coupon issuance request, issues a coupon, and registers the coupon image for registration with the coupon information database 145 together with the coupon generation information. The registration coupon image is transmitted to the coupon receiving terminal 120 matching the coupon incoming information. When the seller source data is provided from the seller terminal 130, the coupon image management server 140 generates the coupon image for registration by reflecting the seller source data and the user source data provided from the coupon request terminal 110. .

In addition, the coupon image management server 140 transfers the registered coupon image to the seller terminal 130 matched with the product information and registers the coupon image to which the seller (buyer) subsequently requests the use of the coupon. To check. The coupon image for registration selectively synthesizes a person image included in the user source data, a delivery message, a seller image or a product image included in the seller source data, and the coupon image management server 140 and the seller terminal 130. It may be provided to the seller terminal 130 from the coupon image management server 140 through a video call path or a wired or wireless Internet path.

The coupon receiving terminal 120 establishes a communication path with the coupon image management server 140 through a video call or a wired / wireless internet connection, and transmits the coupon image for purchase to the coupon image management server 140 through the established communication path. When the coupon receiving terminal 120 requests the use of a coupon while connecting to the coupon image management server 140 and transmitting the coupon image for purchase, the coupon image management server 140 receiving the coupon image searches for the coupon information database 145. An authentication process for checking whether a registration coupon image identical to the purchase coupon image is registered is performed.

When the authentication is completed, the coupon image management server 140 checks the product information among the coupon generation information matching the registration coupon image and transmits the coupon authentication result to the seller terminal 130 corresponding to the product information.

Referring to Figure 4, the coupon service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention is largely divided into a coupon generation process (S110) and coupon use process (S120).

In the coupon generation process (S110), the coupon requester may directly visit a retailer such as a store to generate / transmit a coupon image, or may remotely generate / transmit a coupon image through a video call.

When a coupon requester visits a retailer who issues a coupon and requests to purchase a coupon image of a specific product through the coupon request terminal 110, the coupon request terminal 110 accesses the coupon image management server 140 through wired or wireless data communication. Thereafter, after inputting the telephone number of the seller to issue the coupon, the user source data is transmitted to the coupon image management server 140 to request issuance of the coupon (S112 and S114). The user source data includes a photographic image of a coupon requester, a store, a gift, etc., a delivery message to be synthesized with the photograph, a text of a store name / product name, and a coupon receiver of a coupon receiver, which is a party to receive the coupon image. Information about the 120 (such as a mobile phone number). The coupon image management server 140 stores the user source data transmitted in step S114 in the database of the corresponding retailer as coupon generation information, and then generates a coupon image obtained by synthesizing a photographic image, a delivery message, a brand name, and the like (S116). The electronic device transmits the message to the coupon receiving terminal 120 of the other party through a message delivery path such as a multimedia message service (MMS) (S118). Coupon generation information related to the coupon message, for example, information from the user source data or seller source data, such as coupon requester information, coupon recipient information, product / sales information, etc., as the coupon generation information together with the coupon image coupon image management server 140 After being stored in (S116), it may also be provided to the seller terminal 130 (S117).

When the coupon requester remotely generates / transmits the coupon image through the video call, the coupon requester connects the video call to the seller terminal 130 of the seller where the coupon image is to be purchased using the coupon request terminal 110 (S111). In the state where the video call is connected, the coupon request terminal 110 transmits the information about the product to be purchased to the seller terminal 130 through the video call path, and presses a specific function button (FC) to manage the coupon image. In step 140, the data logical channel path of the video call is connected.

The coupon image management server 140 registers a photographic image of a product or a store previously uploaded by a salesperson in advance, and the coupon requester displays his / her appearance through the coupon request terminal 110. ), The coupon image management server 140 generates a coupon image in which both the image of the coupon requester and the product / store image are displayed by synthesizing the pre-registered product image or the store image and the photograph image of the coupon requester. do. At this time, the sales staff can transmit the image of the photograph of the product / store to the coupon image management server 140 through the seller terminal 130 as seller source data (S113, S115), in this case, the coupon image management server 140 synthesizes the coupon image by synthesizing the photo image of the coupon requester 110 and the photo image transmitted from the seller terminal 130 (S116), and then to the coupon receiving terminal 120 It transmits (S118).

In the coupon use process (S120), the coupon receiver may visit a retailer to directly receive / order a product for the coupon, or may remotely order the product for the coupon.

Upon direct receipt, the coupon receiver (buyer) who downloaded the coupon image from the coupon image management server 140 visits the corresponding retailer and then accesses the coupon image management server 140 through wired or wireless data communication of the coupon receiving terminal 120. (S121).
