Description

How to issue and manage memberships and their systems {MEMBERSHIP ISSUE AND MANAGEMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM}

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a method for issuing and managing membership, and a system for issuing and managing membership.

Membership cards are rapidly increasing in scope and benefit with the development of the telecommunications industry and the Internet. In the past, the book-based check method has evolved from the terminal-type check method based on the Internet and communication technology, and has been used more and more for the convenience of subscribers by providing faster services.

Representative membership cards currently provided by our country include communication cards provided by communication companies. These carriers are trying to attract many subscribers by issuing membership cards to advertise providing better content.

Each telecommunications company has introduced a merchant system to allow subscribers to use various contents in the form of subtracting certain mileage provided by the company. If you look at the contents of the provided contents, you can see the movie discount system that we are familiar with, as well as apply to various cultural life and basic rituals, providing more benefits at the merchant.

By the way, in the case of the plastic membership card, only one card number can be issued only one card, it is inconvenient to carry several cards. In addition, it is inconvenient to visit a card issuing desk in order to receive a membership card. In addition, there is an inconvenience in that the respective sites must be searched for the usage history inquiry and the point inquiry of the multiple membership cards, and the function for this is limited in the mobile environment.

The present invention has been made to improve the prior art as described above, by receiving a multi-membership card as OTA (Over The Air) to write to the IC chip, the service history (use history, point history, Its purpose is to allow membership management, such as limit details, etc.) to be inquired, or to use multiple membership cards, in a single virtual machine.
