ADVERTISEMENT METHOD USING POINT ENCASHMENT ONLY WITHDRAWAL UNTIS}

The present invention relates to an advertising method using an unmanned device for earning cash points exclusively, more specifically integrating operators that earn various points into a unified earning point system, in conjunction with an unmanned device that can be paid in cash points The present invention relates to an advertisement method using an unmanned device dedicated to cash point cash withdrawal, which is improved to maximize the advertising effect by exposing points earning merchants to cash withdrawal customers when converting the cash into cash.

Generally, a credit card that functions as a credit authentication means that replaces cash can be used to pay cash or purchase goods within such a total credit limit, given a certain total credit limit for each individual or corporation. It is supposed to provide.

In addition, credit card companies that issue and manage credit cards can be given cumulative mileage points according to the credit card use or service use performance of the issued credit card. When it reaches, it can be used as cash at the time of payment of a certain item to be purchased or a specific gift can be presented to the credit card user.

However, since the mileage points can be used like cash but not actual cash, there are many inconveniences. The applicant has disclosed a technique for making it possible to withdraw the cash directly through the kiosk.

Recently, a number of individual businesses, including those with multiple chains, in addition to credit card companies, have earned points to major consumers who use those businesses under certain agreements or on their own. Issuing membership cards for granting and managing them separately is actively used as an advertising technique.

Thus, if a consumer presents the membership card while purchasing a certain item or service through a chain network owned by a membership issuer or the individual business itself, an appropriate amount of earning points will be given according to the performance of the purchase. When the accumulated points are given a certain amount, the discount points can be given at the time of payment of the goods or the free gift can be given according to the amount of those points.

However, in the case of a large business with a chain network, it is possible to grant a unified point of accumulation, but in the case of small individual businesses, the points can be diversified in form of diversification. The reality is that it is difficult to cash out.

In addition, even in the case of large businesses with a chain network, most of them have a card issuer or a membership issuing contractor linked to the card company, so the fee system is complicated, and the point rewards to consumers are inevitably reduced.

Moreover, for small businesses that are not affiliated with a credit card company, there is virtually no way to withdraw cash points directly from cash, which would be a huge investment.

Therefore, small-scale small businesses, such as restaurants, beauty salons, karaoke, cafes, etc., the advertising costs are significant, only to provide a simple form of earning points for self-provided customers based on word of mouth or voluntary visits It's just a vehicle for advertising.

The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and is created to solve this problem. Small business owners join and issue a single membership card, which is a kiosk-type cash withdrawal system developed by the applicant. It is possible to directly withdraw a certain amount of cash through a dedicated device, but when cash withdrawal is made through the unmanned dedicated device, the self-owned companies located near the unmanned dedicated device are exposed on the screen and advertised. The main challenge is to provide an advertising method using an unmanned device dedicated to cash point cash withdrawal to secure the copper line, thereby contributing to the sales increase of merchants.

The present invention is a means for achieving the above-mentioned problems, the point card issued by the local small-scale self-owned businesses in the community is issued through a cash withdrawal dedicated wireless device to withdraw the points earned in real-time cash cash withdrawal Requesting first step; The point card information read through the first step is transmitted to the unmanned device management server of the manager, and the unmanned device management server checks the identity of the customer associated with the corresponding point card according to the control signal of the controller while transmitting and receiving with the controller of the manager. And controlling the advertisement server to expose advertisement contents to neighboring affiliated stores in a manner set on a screen of the cash withdrawal device. A third step of checking whether the accumulated points are greater than the amount requested for cash withdrawal by searching the point management DB of the point card whose identity has been confirmed by the controller of the manager during the second step; After the third step, the manager outputs an error message when the earned point is less than the cash withdrawal request amount, and then controls the unmanned cash-only device to be terminated. A fourth step of controlling to output on the screen that the processing has been completed after the subtraction; After the fourth step, the cash is discharged as much as the requested amount, and a receipt is outputted. .

In this case, the withdrawn cash is characterized in that the unit is 1000 won / 5000 won / 10000 won units.

According to the present invention, it is possible to withdraw the unified earning points provided by a number of self-employed directly to cash through an unmanned dedicated device to provide the effect that the earning points can have virtually economic value, as well as surrounding cash withdrawal By exposing merchants on the screen, big advertising effects can be obtained at low cost.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment according to the present invention.

Figure 1 is a block diagram for explaining the concept of the apparatus for explaining the advertising method according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exemplary front view of an unmanned device dedicated to earning cash points used for the advertising method according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a flowchart illustrating an advertisement method according to the present invention.

In order to implement the advertisement method according to the present invention, first, a plurality of affiliated stores 100, for example, affiliated store A, affiliated store B, .... affiliated store N must be registered in the management company 300 and remain in an affiliated state.

This is the same / similar to the affiliate system for a normal credit card payment.

In this case, the management company 300 may be a membership issuer, and in some cases, may be a card company.

However, since it is configured on a small scale, it is different from the affiliate system for a normal credit card payment.

In addition, the management company 300 stores and updates the point management DB 310 for calculating and managing the earned points granted by each affiliate store 100, management information and affiliate store advertisement information for each affiliate store 100. The advertisement server 320 which is in charge of management of the back, and the unmanned device management server 330 which is in charge of communication and control with the cash withdrawal device 400 only.

In addition, the affiliated store 100 is provided with a point earner 200, the point earner 200 is connected to the management company 300 through wired and wireless communication to update the information of the point management DB (310) Create an event to save, print, or print.

On the other hand, the cash withdrawal dedicated drone 400 may be configured as shown in the example of Figure 2, wherein the example number ① shown in Figure 2 is a merchant advertising example, ② is a point cash withdraw button, ③ is a point inquiry button , ④ is the progress message display, ⑤ is the keypad, ⑥ is the point card reader, ⑦ is the receipt output, and ⑧ is the cash release.

Through the four affiliates may be advertised in the form of simultaneously exposed bar, it is particularly preferable to be configured in the most suitable form in consideration of various conditions such as the number of affiliates to be advertised.

In addition, the cash withdrawal device 400 is in the most reasonable place in consideration of the moving lines from the cash withdrawal dedicated device 400 to the merchants corresponding to the group in a state where a number of affiliates form a group. Installation is most desirable in terms of advertising effectiveness.

Hereinafter, a method for effectively implementing a merchant advertisement according to the present invention through the device configurations will be described in detail.

As described above with reference to FIGS. 1,2 and 3, first, a customer stops at an affiliate store 100 to purchase an item or receives a service, and then a point card possessed by the customer through the point holder 200. When the reading is point information to be earned along with the information on the corresponding point card is transmitted to the management company 300, the control unit of the management company 300 to search and look up the point management DB (310) to identify the identity of the corresponding point card After confirmation, reward points will be renewed and updated. This process is repeated in real time and continuously.

In this way, when a certain amount of points are accumulated in a point card possessed by the customer, the customer approaches the cash withdrawal dedicated terminal 400 to cash the accumulated points, and reads the point card possessed by the customer to request cash withdrawal. (S100).

At this time, at the same time as the cash withdrawal request operation, that is, the moment the point card is read to the cash withdrawal dedicated unmanned terminal 400, the corresponding point card information is transmitted to the unmanned device management server 330 of the manager 300, unmanned equipment The management server 330 checks the identity of the customer associated with the corresponding point card according to the control signal of the control unit while transmitting and receiving with the control unit of the management company 300, and the control unit controls the advertisement server 320 to withdraw the cash Advertisement contents for the promotion of the surrounding affiliated stores 100 are exposed in the manner set on the screen of the dedicated unmanned apparatus 400 (S110).

Accordingly, the customer consciously and unconsciously sees the affiliated store 100 advertisement exposed through the screen of the cash machine only 400 during the time of cashing the point, and then purchases the necessary goods or eats food. When you want or want to receive a specific service, the probability of visiting the merchant 100 by recalling the advertisements previously seen increases.

Meanwhile, in response to the cash withdrawal request, the control unit of the advertising company 300 searches the point management DB 310 for the point card whose identity is verified (security procedure), and whether the accumulated points are greater than the amount requested to be withdrawn in cash. It is confirmed (S120).

As a result of the check, if the earned points are smaller than the cash withdrawal request amount, an error message is output and then terminated (S122). If the amount is greater than the cash withdrawal request amount, the accumulated amount is deducted by the requested amount (point management DB update). It outputs on the screen that the normal processing (S130, S140).

In this case, the rate of converting the earned points into cash may be determined separately at the time of franchising, and the earning rate of the earned points may be different for each of the affiliated stores 100. You can decide.

In the case of normal processing through the above steps, the cash is discharged after the normal message is output, and the receipt is printed after the cash release, and the cashing procedure of the earned points is terminated (S150, S160).

Here, the cash is released, that is, the unit of cash that is converted into cash and the cash withdrawal through the cash withdrawal dedicated wireless device 400 is preferably limited to a specific amount of units, for example 1000 won / 5000 won / Most preferred are 10,000 won units.

As described above, it is possible to implement the promotion or advertising of small businesses through a simple configuration at a relatively low cost, in particular, the present invention is more effective in the advertising of heterogeneous businesses including homogeneous businesses located within a limited range, such as a community.
