In order to achieve the above object, there is provided a system for providing coupons and product information using location information, the system comprising: a GPS module for checking a location; a camera module for taking a picture; and analyzing a recognition code taken on the camera module The terminal and the system including a code decryption unit includes a management server that receives the subscriber information, the subscriber's location information and the decrypted identification code information from the terminal through a wired or wireless communication network, the management server to identify whether the user It may include a coupon DB including a coupon provided according to the user DB and a product DB for storing the information of the products displayed in the store and the identification code and location information.

The system as described above enables marketing to target loyal customers who directly visit stores and transmit identification codes, thereby securing high loyal customers.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. The consumer has a terminal and the terminal has a camera module 13 capable of recognizing a two-dimensional barcode or a one-dimensional barcode such as QR-code, and a code decoding unit 14 capable of interpreting the barcode. It also has a GPS module 12 for positioning.

After attaching the identification code such as QR code in the store, the customer who visits the store takes the identification code and transmits the corresponding information to the management server 11, and the management server 11 transmits the customer.

In other words, customers who visit the store are more likely to purchase than customers who do not visit the store, and customers who find and send identification codes are more loyal than other customers. Will use coupons more than customers who access the store's site or simply visit the store.

In addition, since the customer's location information is received in real time, even if the recognition code is copied or transmitted from another location, the discount coupon is not issued.

In addition, since the information of the product can be immediately checked in the store, the information of the product can be obtained immediately without inquiring an employee, thereby reducing the number of employees for guidance. To this end, a recognition code may be attached to each displayed product so that information about the corresponding product may be obtained whenever the recognition code is transmitted.
