According to the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the date information and / or the location information (the product purchase area or the merchant information) are further processed and stored in the storing process and / or the customer wireless terminal 1000 (Or mileage) value to the customer's wireless terminal 1000 number information and / or the customer information if there is a point (or mileage) value added to the customer information and / or a point (Or mileage) value of the point of interest.

As described above, when the number information and / or customer information of the customer's wireless terminal 1000 and the point (or mileage) value information and / or at least one or more product related information are linked and stored in the storage medium 125, (Or agency) server 135 that provides the point (or mileage) value to the company (or agency) server 135 (e.g., the company (or agency) server 135) (Or mileage) value information and / or at least one product related information (1350).

If it is determined 1355 to provide the point (or mileage) value information and / or the at least one product related information stored in the storage medium 125 to the company (or institution) server 135, 100 transmits the point (or mileage) value information and / or at least one product related information stored in the storage medium 125 to the company (or institution) server 135 (1360).

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the process of providing the point (or mileage) value information and / or the at least one product related information stored in the storage medium 125 to the company (or institution) It is preferable to perform it periodically.

After the above process is performed, the server 100 generates an accumulation completion message for a predetermined point (mileage) value, and transmits the accumulation completion message to the wireless terminal 1000 (step 1365).

FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a method of calculating the point (or mileage) value added to the number information of the wireless terminal 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 14 illustrates a method of using (or consuming) a point (or mileage) value added to the number information to the wireless terminal 1000, and / or using the point (or mileage) (Or mileage) value through a predetermined financial system 650 when transferring the actual value corresponding to the point (or mileage) value information is required by exchanging the predetermined value (Or mileage) value settlement system that does not use the financial system 650 (see, for example, FIG. 6) if the person is a person skilled in the art, , It is possible to easily deduce that the amount of the point (or mileage) settlement amount is equal to the amount of the withdrawing person and the amount of money deposited) This limited bayida never put out to not.

Referring to FIG. 14, the server 100 periodically reads the point (or mileage) value information stored in association with the number information in the wireless terminal 1000 in the storage medium 125, Mileage) (step 1400).

As a result of the determination, the predetermined point (or mileage) value information among the point (or mileage) value information stored in association with the number information in the wireless terminal 1000 is settled in the storage medium 125 The server 100 extracts a predetermined point (or mileage) settlement amount corresponding to the settlement object point (or mileage) value information from the storage medium 125, (Or mileage) settlement amount is withdrawn, and the deposit account information in which the point (or mileage) settlement amount is deposited is extracted from the depository information (1410).

When the point (or mileage) settlement amount, the withdrawal account information, and the withdrawal account information are extracted as described above, the server 100 clears the point (or mileage) settlement from the withdrawal account through a predetermined financial system 650, (1415), and depositing the withdrawn point (or mileage) settlement amount into the deposit account (1420), and performs settlement processing on the settlement object point (or mileage) value.
