And is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the present invention is defined by the claims.

It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. &Quot; comprises " and / or "comprising" when used in this specification is taken to specify the presence or absence of one or more other components, steps, operations and / Or add-ons. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a structure of a mobile POS code module having a multiple access function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A mobile phone 100 having a multiple access function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a connection unit 110 and a multifunctional connection unit 120. [ The multifunctional connection unit 120 includes an NFC reader 121, an RFID reader 122, a Wifi module 123, and a Bluetooth module 124.

The connection unit 110 allows the mobile force 200 to be connected to the mobile phone 100. The mobile phone 200 may be in the form of a force terminal used in a store or the like but may be shaped like a tablet. Therefore, it is possible to carry out product management, customer management, and store management while being connected to the mobile POS code module 100 through a POS terminal as well as a personal tablet.

The multifunctional connection unit 120 functions to relay communication between the mobile force 200 connected to the mobile phone 100 and the external device 300.

According to the present invention, the mobile force 200 can recognize only the magnetic card or the contact type IC card. However, according to the present invention, when the mobile force 200 is connected to the mobile POS code module 100, (300) so that payment processing by the contactless card or the mobile terminal and information transmission / reception with the mobile terminal can be performed.

The mobile POS module 100 communicates with the external device 300 through the NFC reader 121 of the multifunctional connection unit 120 and transmits information received from the external device 300 to the mobile POS module 100 to the mobile force 200 connected thereto. Accordingly, the mobile force 200 can receive the settlement information from the NFC tag of the external device 300 while the mobile POS 200 is connected to the mobile POS 100, and process payment.

Since the information stored in the external device 300 can be received by the external device 300 on which the NFC is mounted by simply accessing the NFC reader 121 of the mobile phone 100, Such as various coupons, points, discount coupons, etc., stored in the device 300, so as to process the payment in which the discount benefit information is reflected.

According to another embodiment, the mobile POS code module 100 can facilitate the inventory management and inventory status inquiry of the store by using the RFID reader 122 of the multifunctional connection unit 120, thereby reducing the incidental expenses and labor costs .

The mobile POS module 100 may relay the communication between the mobile force 200 and the external device 300 using the Wifi module 123 or the Bluetooth module 124 included in the multifunctional connection unit 120 .

For example, when the external device 300 of a subscriber of a particular store approaches within a certain distance (for example, 10 meters) from the mobile POS system 100, the product guide provided from the mobile POS system 200, And the like to the external device 300 wirelessly.

That is, when the external device 300 accesses the mobile POS system 100 and transmits the mobile member information, the mobile POS system 100 transmits the received mobile member information to the mobile POS system 200, From the mobile force 200 and delivers the service information to the external device 300.

Alternatively, the mobile POS module 100 periodically transmits a signal for requesting mobile membership information and acquires mobile membership information in response to the transmitted signal, and may transmit the mobile membership information to the mobile force 200.

Accordingly, the service information can be automatically transmitted to the external device 300 moving in the store, thereby providing the effect of promoting the store and increasing the sales.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the NFC reader 121, the RFID reader 122, the Wifi module 123, and the Bluetooth module 124 included in the multifunctional connection unit 120 of the mobile cellular module 100 At the same time, communication between the mobile force 200 and the external device 300 may be relayed.

For example, when the Wifi module 123 or the Bluetooth module 124 of the multifunctional connection unit 120 of the mobile POS module 100 continuously transmits store guidance information and the like to the external device 300 through the NFC reader 121 And may receive payment information from the same external device 300 or other external device 300 and process payment.

Therefore, according to the mobile POS system 100 having the multiple connection function provided by the present invention, the communication between the mobile POS system 200 and the external apparatus 300 is relayed and the mobile POS system 200 processes the settlement in various ways So that the service information provided through the mobile phone 200 can be relayed to the external device 300 in the store.

2 and 3 illustrate an embodiment of a mobile POS system having a multiple access function according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment applied to a restaurant industry, and FIG. The embodiment applied to the industry is shown.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile force makes it possible to view the order status in the restaurant at a glance, and to process payment according to the order details.

The conventional mobile force includes only a magnetic card recognition unit, and recognizes the magnetic card and processes payment. However, according to the present invention, since the mobile force is supported in the state that the mobile POS is connected to the mobile POS, the communication can be performed simultaneously with the external device through various methods.

For example, order information can be received from a terminal of an employee in a store through a Wifi module of a mobile POS and transmitted to a mobile POS. Or, if the employee terminal accesses the mobile POS system while the order information is stored in the terminal of the employee, the order information may be obtained through the NFC reader. Thus, even if a large number of employees simultaneously transmit order information, the mobile force can smoothly manage the entire order information.

In addition, while the mobile force receives, stores, and manages the order information, it can also process the payment using the NFC function of the mobile terminal through the NFC reader of the mobile POS code module. The payment is processed by simply accessing the mobile terminal to the mobile POS, so that the payment can be processed faster than the payment method using the conventional magnetic card.

FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a mobile POS system applied to a retail industry. In carrying out inventory management and the like, a mobile POS receives and stores information through an NFC reader and an RFID reader as well as an article recognition method by a scanner . Therefore, inventory management can be performed quickly, and other communication methods can be used at the same time, thereby enabling inventory management and information exchange with other external devices.

The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention and various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments described in the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are intended to be illustrative, and the scope of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. It is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents, which fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
