In the following description, well-known functions or constructions are not described in detail since they would obscure the invention in unnecessary detail.

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

1 is a diagram illustrating a service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1, a purchaser who wishes to purchase a specific commodity can purchase a specific commodity through payment for a specific commodity through short-distance access between the commodity purchaser terminal device 100 and the in-store settlement device 300. Here, short-range access means that the merchandise purchaser terminal device 100 accesses a predetermined distance at which short-range wireless communication with the in-store settlement apparatus 300 can be performed. For the short-range wireless communication, it is preferable to use an NFC (Near Field Communication) communication method. NFC is a non-contact type short-range wireless communication method using a frequency band of 13.56 Mz. By using NFC technology, data can be transmitted and received when a plurality of devices approach within a distance of about 10 cm or less.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and other examples of the short-range wireless communication system may be a bar code system, a QR code system, Bluetooth, or the like.

Meanwhile, when the near-field access between the in-store settlement apparatus 300 and the merchandise purchaser terminal apparatus 100 is performed and the operation related to the purchase of a specific commodity is performed, the in-store settlement apparatus 300 receives the merchandise purchaser terminal apparatus 100 Purchase related product information " relating to the purchased product. Here, the 'purchase product related information' may include seller information, product information (for example, information describing a product such as price information, product image information, model number information, etc.). Further, in some cases, the purchase-related-product-related information may further include the buyer information that has purchased the specific product.

Here, the transmission of the purchase product related information may be performed using a short-range wireless communication method such as NFC.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and payment may be performed using a short-range wireless communication method such as NFC, transmission of information related to the purchased product may be performed in a wireless or wired manner through a local area network (LAN) , 4G through a mobile communication network, a Wi-Fi scheme, or the like.

On the other hand, when the merchandise purchaser terminal device 100 receives the purchase product related information, the communication service application such as IM (Instant Message), SNS, messenger, etc. installed in the merchandise purchaser terminal device 100 stores the received purchase product related information To the communication service server apparatus 200. Here, the transmission of the purchase commodity-related information can be transmitted when a transmission command is input from the user or automatically.

For example, if buyer information is not included in the purchased product information, the merchant purchaser terminal device 100 stores the purchase-product-related information that further adds the buyer information identifying the goods purchaser terminal device 100 to the communication service server apparatus ( 200).
