Description

[0001] METHOD FOR FORMING ELECTRONIC ORDER BY USING A SMART PHONE [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to an electronic ordering method in a store, and particularly, when an NFC tag is provided on each table in a store, if the smartphone held by the customer is within a communication distance, service information of the store is displayed on the smartphone, The present invention relates to a method for ordering electronic using a smartphone for automatically recognizing a customer's request for a minimum order related to an order so that the customer can perform various tasks according to the request in the kitchen and the counter.

Generally, in order to order at a restaurant, coffee shop, movie theater, bookstore, etc., the counter informs the employee directly of the order details or orders the conversation when the employee approaches.

However, in the place where the customer is pushed, the customer takes a lot of time to wait for the order, and when the customer is pushed at the same time as the lunch time, the communication between the employees is not smooth due to the noise.

In order to solve these problems, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 20-0349620 proposes a barcode ordering system that enables a customer to directly place an order and perform automatic calculation using a barcode device having an order processing function in a barcode menu plate.

However, Registration Practical Model No. 20-349620 requires a separate barcode menu plate and barcode device on each table, which increases the installation cost. Furthermore, since the customer can only select the barcode menu plate as the barcode device, There is a problem that the option item that can prepare the food suitably selected is informed to the employee again.

A proposed technique for solving the problems of the prior art is shown in FIG. 1, which is a technology disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0119397.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of an order system using a conventional QR code (Quick Response Code); FIG.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic ordering method using a smart phone.

Hereinafter, an electronic ordering method using a smart phone according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an electronic ordering method using a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the present invention includes a menu capable of ordering a food store, a series of information on the menu, And an exclusive web server 100 of the corresponding food retailer capable of selecting and paying for the contents of the web site, and an NFC tag (reference numeral not given) for providing connection and approval information of the web server to each table located in the food store ).

The near field communication (NFC) tag is a non-contact communication technology using a frequency band of 13.56 MHz as one of communication technology radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies for exchanging various wireless data within a distance of 10 cm or less. It is a next-generation local area communication technology that has excellent security and low price. It can use both data reading and writing functions, so there is no need for a dongle (reader) that was needed for RFID use. It is similar to existing short distance communication technology such as Bluetooth, but it does not need to set up between devices like Bluetooth. Since commercial smart devices all have (most) NFC protocol, there is no restriction on communication.

Therefore, when the customer who visited the food store mentioned above seats on a certain table and then brings the smart phone held by the customer into proximity with the NFC tag provided in each table, data communication is performed with the NFC tag. The providing information provides the access information of the web server 100 and the approval information for the login operation when the web server 100 accesses the web server 100. The approval information may be provided to the web server 100 And information for automatically recognizing the table.

At this time, the web server 100 may use a normal food store homepage, so that a detailed description thereof will be omitted. However, the web server 100 only provides the guide information, the menu information, and the reservation information to the netizers accessing through general wired / wireless communication without the approval information provided by the NFC tag, So as to prevent the confusion between the kitchen and the counter.

Accordingly, if the smartphone held by the customer is brought close to the NFC tag and the access information and approval information of the web server 100 are provided, the smartphone accesses the corresponding web server 100 according to the provided access information , And thus the login operation is performed by the approval information provided together with the connection information to the connected web server 100.

The web server 100 that has been logged in through the above-described process provides a menu allowing a user to order an appropriate food store, a series of information on the menu, and selection information on options of the menu on the smartphone side that is currently logged in.

When the customer confirms and orders the order information based on the selection information provided through the process described above, the web server 100 reads out the order information from the table in the store based on the approval information of the terminal Therefore, we prepare the information of the table together with the information according to the order and provide it to the counter and the kitchen side.

At the same time, when the order is confirmed, the customer selects the information about the settlement method (such as a method of selecting a bank transfer method, a credit card settlement method, a smartphone small payment method, or a cash payment method) If the payment method is other than the cash payment method, the settlement is made through the financial settlement institution having the reference numeral 200 linked thereto.

Since the billing and settlement process is a normal process, a description thereof will be omitted.

After that, if the customer chooses the payment method, issue the corresponding electronic receipt (prepaid or postpaid) and release the connection.

Through the above process, the order of the customer, the option and the result of the payment method are provided to the counter side, and the table information and the ordered food content are transmitted to the monitor provided in the kitchen of the restaurant.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
