Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a shopping service system and method using a smart reader device and a smart reader device,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shopping service system and method using a smart reader device and a smart reader device, and more particularly, to a shopping service system using a smart reader device and smart reader device for code recognition and NFC (Near Field Communication) ≪ / RTI >

In general, purchasing a product at a shopping mall or a store is performed by a customer visiting a shopping mall, selecting a product to be purchased from the displayed products, and directly carrying it to the counter and paying the product value by cash or a credit card. At this time, the counter reads out the product information by using the POS (Point of Sale) terminal having the barcode reader, and requests the product price by the read information.

Therefore, a shopping mall or a store management company needs a wide display space according to various products, such as manufacturers, models, and quantity. Many manpower is required for product management. And customers have to move several stores in order to select products in a wide shopping mall. Customers must move with their purchased items whenever they move. The pleasure of shopping is reduced by half. Further, it takes a lot of time to settle the commodity price after the commodity selection ends.

Recently, shopping trends are changing with the rapid spread of smartphones and the improvement of mobile environment. Online and mobile purchases are increasing. Showrooming is growing rapidly. Foreign direct purchases of goods directly from abroad are rapidly emerging.

In addition, a distribution system integrating offline and online is emerging. For example, there is a solution that links fashion stores to social networks. In these solutions, users take pictures or videos in their offline stores. The user then shares the photographed picture or video via the social network. In addition, the user scans the barcode of the product and registers it as a product of interest. The user then shares the registered product information with the friends of the social network.

Meanwhile, super precise indoor positioning service is being developed. This ultra-precise indoor positioning service uses WiFi and Bluetooth low energy (BLE) technology. The ultra-precise indoor positioning service provides various services such as product information, advertisement video, review information, various discount benefits, and settlement based on the location that is positioned to the customer.

While new shopping trends are on the rise, there is a lack of differentiated services for offline shopping in response to new shopping trends. It is urgent to find differentiated services for offline shopping. In addition, smart shopping, which combines IoT (Internet of things) technology with shopping, is not meeting the needs of various customers.
