First, the user terminal 10 may be a wired terminal such as a wireless terminal such as a smart phone or a personal computer (PC) as a terminal for purchasing goods or preparing a post. It is preferable to use a wireless terminal such as a smart phone for NFC payment, although it is possible to use a wired terminal for point charging. Therefore, the wireless terminal will be mainly described below.

The wireless terminal is a terminal capable of communicating (transmitting and receiving data) through a mobile communication network, and is a mobile communication terminal device capable of mounting a dedicated application (App, app) such as a smart phone do. Here, the mobile communication network is a mobile communication network operated by a mobile communication service company, and is a communication network capable of voice communication and data communication. The connection between the app terminal and the mobile communication network is various communication Method can be applied.

The point management server 20 issues and manages points, and converts and publishes contents. The point management server not only manages various information related to the goods transmitted through the user terminal, but also manages the purchase price and the selling price uploaded by the buyers, and can provide information on various events. The point management server 20 may be a server operating in a merchant combination of a traditional market.

The offline store 30 is a store managed by a seller who wants to sell a product offline, and may be a large discount store, but may also include stores such as a small store operated in a traditional market. That is, the offline store may be applied to all types of stores that are operated through off-line to sell goods or provide services. The offline store may be a company providing the point management server, that is, a participating merchant affiliated with a merchant association. The offline store 30 is provided with an NFC reader capable of reading an NFC tag. The NFC reader transmits a payment request to a point management server when a consumer requests payment with a point. Since the NFC reader is a device provided in an off-line store, the same identification number will be used hereinafter.

The app store 40 is provided to provide an app to be used in a smartphone, and more particularly, to provide a service app for implementing a shopping information providing method according to the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a point accumulation method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, a data transmission and a point accumulation process between a consumer terminal and a point accumulation server will be described in detail.

First, a user installs an app on a user terminal. Apps can be downloaded from the point management server or downloaded from the App Store.

After installing the app, use the app to create content to post to social networks. For example, you can create a description of a purchased item, a price, a status, and a testimonial. When a post is created, the point management server confirms it and pays and accumulates the points. At this time, it is preferable to register the NFC terminal before making the post and request the use to the point management server. You do not need to register for NFC if you only want to earn points, but if you want to pay for a product that you purchase at points, you need to register.

The user should create the contents through the application distributed by the point management server 20, instead of directly accessing the individual social network desired to create the post.

When the user creates a post through the app and presses the save button or requests transmission, the site information to which the content and the content are to be posted is transmitted to the point management server 20, and the point management server displays the authentication page of the site. That is, the user logs in to the corresponding site (for example, a social network such as Facebook) through the application and performs personal authentication. When authentication is completed, an authentication signal is transmitted to the point management server.

When the authentication is completed, the point management server converts the content received from the user terminal into a meta data format and stores the converted meta data into a suitable format corresponding to the web, mobile, or SNS. For example, if a user signs in to Facebook and wants to post it, it will convert it to the appropriate form that can be displayed on Facebook.

When the post registration is completed, the point management server accumulates a predetermined point, and the accumulation result is transmitted to the user terminal.

The user terminal receives the accumulation result and stores the point accumulation contents in the NFC tag installed in the terminal. NFC tags are stored and managed based on personal information.

When a point is earned, the user can make a donation to the point or make a payment using the point when purchasing the product. When the point donation request is made, the points accumulated in the point management server are deducted by the point and moved to the donor account. The points earned on the point sponsored account will be converted into Onnuri gift certificates, which can be used in advance by the planned participating companies, such as traditional market traders' associations, to be supported by the social underprivileged and deducted from the sponsored account as the points transferred.

The user can use the accumulated points for personal purchasing, and FIG. 3 shows a method of deducting personal points.

The general user can receive the goods, prices, and information of the traditional market through various media through the apps installed in the terminal and participate in the use of the traditional market.

When you want to purchase an item using the points accumulated from the point management server, the NFC reader provided in the store utilizes the function provided by the app and uses the point as a purchase price. That is, when the user wants to purchase a point, the NFC reader provided in the store reads the NFC tag information of the user terminal, transmits the information to the point management server, and requests the point settlement and accumulation. At the point management server, the point is settled and the point is re-added at a predetermined rate by subtracting the corresponding amount. The loyalty of consumers can be increased by deducting a point and re-accumulating a predetermined amount.

If you want to recharge your points by exhausting points that are short or have accumulated points, you can charge points through the app installed on the user's terminal. You can use your credit card or voucher to pay for the charge.

The point accumulation and settlement method will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 and FIG.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram illustrating an installed application of a user terminal according to major functions, and FIG. 5 is a block diagram of a content providing server.

As shown in the figure, an application of the user terminal includes an authentication unit 11 for authenticating a subscriber through login information of a subscriber, a content management unit 12 for displaying an input window so that a subscriber can create content, A point management unit 13 for accumulating and managing points and an NFC approval management unit 14 for managing point charging and approval.

The user using the above configuration can log in to the application installed in the terminal, create contents of the content to be registered in the SNS, confirm the status of the point accumulation, and make a payment using the point. The NFC approval management unit 14 includes an NFC tag. When the NFC reader touches the NFC reader, the reader reads the corresponding information and requests approval of the content management.

The point management server 20 includes an authentication unit 21 for authenticating a subscriber through login information, a content management / conversion unit (not shown) for generating meta information from the content created by the application and converting the meta information into a web, 22, a store information management unit 23 for managing the information on the affiliated stores, a point management unit 24 for issuing and accumulating and deducting points, and a payment management unit 25 for receiving and paying charge information from the application installed in the user terminal ).

With the above-described configuration, when content is created through an application installed in a user terminal, the point management server generates meta information and converts the content into a suitable form and is automatically posted to the site. After registering a post, the point management unit 24 issues a point, and if there is a payment and a donation, the point is deducted by the corresponding point. When there is a point charging request from the user, the payment management unit 25 receives the information, issues points and charges the same.
