Description

 Shopping application system

The present invention relates to a shopping application system, and more particularly, to a method of transmitting location information of a product by RFID technology and confirming the price and information of the product using a QR code.

Recently, the purchase form of products is mainly made up of large discount stores. Due to the nature of large discount stores, it is often difficult to find where the products they are looking for are due to the large space of the stores. In order to solve this problem, trained employees are assigned, but this requires a lot of human rights expenses and training time. In addition, the customer should estimate the price of the product and make a shopping plan using only the price information written on the merchandise display stand, which has a problem of delivering missing or inaccurate price information due to the current store management system in which the product is re-displayed from time to time. .

The present invention has been invented to solve the above problems, and aims to provide an accurate location and price information of the product that the customer wants to find.

The technical problem is provided with a shopping application system including a smartphone, a receiver in communication with the smartphone, and an integrated server for exchanging information with the receiver.

As described above, according to the present invention, a customer can easily purchase a desired product in a wide shopping store and receive accurate product information to reduce the burden of product selection.

In addition, the store side can reduce the training and human rights costs for employees, and can identify the purchase form of customers in real time.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described a characteristic configuration of the present invention for achieving the above object, which is only an example and the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 is an overall configuration diagram of a shopping application system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, an existing shopping system may be represented by an integrated server 30 and a POS 40. In order to solve the above problems, the receiver 20 is connected to the integrated server 30. The receiver 20 is installed at regular intervals in the store for the purpose of data transmission between the customer's smartphone 10 and the integrated server 30.

2 is a configuration diagram of a shopping application system of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the receiver includes a control unit 21, a wireless communication module 22, a power supply unit 23, a storage unit 24, an antenna 25, and an RFID receiver 26. Specifically, the control unit 21 manages the entire system, the RFID receiver 26 recognizes the RFID tag provided in the customer's smart phone 10 to determine the current position of the customer, the power supply unit 23 The power supply, the storage unit 24 updates and stores the respective goods and SP information, the wireless communication module 22 transmits the location information obtained from the RFID receiver 26 to the integrated server, the integrated server 30 Receive necessary information from) and deliver it back to customer. As such, the RFID receiver 26 communicates with the integrated server 30 in real time and provides a service corresponding to a specific request of the customer.

3 is a conceptual diagram of the relationship between the integrated server 30 and the receiver 20 and the smart phone 10.

Referring to FIG. 3, the integrated server 30 is connected to the receiver 20 by wire or wirelessly to update and exchange information, and the smartphone 10 communicates wirelessly with the receiver 20.

4 is a conceptual diagram of installation according to the distribution area of the receiver 20 of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, it can be seen that the receiver 20 is installed according to the distribution of goods. In the case of large shopping malls, the logistics are divided and displayed by a combination of alphabets and numbers, which is very effective for the classification of logistics. In this way, if the receiver 20 is installed in accordance with the logistics zone to pay attention to the dead zone, each receiver 20 is responsible for the goods and SP information for the installed area can be efficient data update and provide a quick service. Similarly, if you add a parking code input function, you don't have to remember the parking location when you enter.

5 is a flowchart of the first half of shopping according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 5, the customer begins the step of installing a shopping application (S51) on his smartphone (10). When the installation is complete, enter the store and run the application to access the integrated server (S52).

When the connection is complete, enter the product to purchase or bring up the purchase list entered in advance (S53). In some cases, you can browse the store first and decide which items to buy. However, you usually have a product that you need to visit, so you can register your purchase list in advance.

After the product input is completed, the receiver receives the customer location and the purchase list and transmits the location information of the nearest product among the purchased products using the store DB to display on the screen (S54).

The customer moves to the product location to be searched for and receives nearby product advertisements and promotional event information from nearby receivers.

When reaching the product position to find the QR code can be scanned (S55) to check the information and price of the product (S56). QR codes can help you with promotions because they can contain more data than barcodes that can only record information such as brand or manufacturer.

After the scan is finished, a message asking whether to purchase together with the product information is called (S57). If this is allowed, it is added to the purchase total and stored (S58). This can prevent excessive consumption and allow for deliberate soaping. You can also cancel and update at any time using the app's interface.

When the purchase of the product is finished, the current position is updated to start the guidance of the next nearest product in the purchase list (S54).

When the purchase of all products is finished, the shopping end message (S59) appears and if allowed, the location information is updated to guide the nearest calculation.
