Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification.

Throughout the specification, when a part is referred to as being "connected" to another part, it includes not only "directly connected" but also "electrically connected" with another part in between . Also, when an element is referred to as "comprising ", it means that it can include other elements as well, without departing from the other elements unless specifically stated otherwise.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Before describing this, we first define the meaning of the terms used below.

Hereinafter, the 'earning point' indicates the total point amount of the current point that each user has earned from the point server to be described later.

The 'start point' indicates a point that is set to be added to the accumulation point at a time point when the point accumulation service provided by the point server is first provided and / or when the user starts point accumulation again after using the accumulation point. The start point is set according to the user's selection, and the point server can provide information on a plurality of different levels of start points that the user can select, i.e., 'start point setting information' to the user terminal. For example, the point server may present 500 differentiated points, 1000 points, and 20000 points to the user terminal as starting point setting information, and the user can select one of them.

Further, the 'usage condition point' indicates a value of the earning point as a condition for using the earning point. That is, each user can use his or her own earning point only when his earned point reaches the use condition point. The usage condition point is determined according to the starting point of each user. The usage condition point is set to be larger the smaller the starting point is. That is, the use condition point increases in proportion to the starting point, and the use condition point does not necessarily have to be directly proportional to the starting point. For example, if the starting point is 500 points, the use condition point is 20000 points. If the starting point is 1000 points, the use condition point is 35000 points. If the starting point is 2000 points, the use condition point can be set to 50000 points have.

In this specification, 'use' of an earned point may refer to any action that converts an earned point to another item corresponding to the value of the earned point, and may for example refer to the earned point as cash, in-kind, (For example, discounts on mobile communication services fees), such as receiving a specific service instead of subtracting the earning point, or deferring the debt to the extent that it corresponds to the value of the earning point .

Hereinafter, a point accumulation system will be described with reference to FIG. 1 is a network configuration diagram illustrating a point accumulation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The point accumulation system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of user terminals 200 and 300 and a point server 100. [

Here, the user terminals 200 and 300 and the point server 100 communicate with each other via the network N. [

The network N may be a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a value added network (VAN), a personal area network (PAN) mobile radio communication network, Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet), Mobile WiMAX, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) or satellite communication network.

The user terminals 200 and 300 may be implemented as a computer, a portable terminal, a television, a wearable device, or the like, which can be connected to a remote server through a network N or connected to other terminals and servers. Here, the computer includes, for example, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, and the like, each of which is equipped with a web browser (WEB Browser), and the portable terminal may be a wireless communication device , Personal Communication System (PCS), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Personal Handyphone System (PHS), Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) (W-CDMA), Wibro (Wireless Broadband Internet), Smart Phone, Mobile WiMAX (Mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) (Handheld) based wireless communication device. In addition, the television may include an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), an Internet television (TV), a terrestrial TV, a cable TV, and the like. Further, the wearable device is an information processing device of a type that can be directly worn on a human body, for example, a watch, a glasses, an accessory, a garment, shoes, or the like, and can be connected to a remote server via a network, Lt; / RTI >

An application for communicating with the point server 100 may be installed in the user terminal 200 or 300. The user terminal 200 or 300 may execute the application and perform an operation according to the application, You earn points from.

Meanwhile, the point server 100 can communicate with the user terminals 200 and 300, other terminals, and other servers through the network N, and can be implemented as a general information processing apparatus. The point server 100 plays a role of accumulating points on the accounts of the users corresponding to the user terminals 200 and 300 when the user terminals 200 and 300 perform an operation for earning points.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the point server 100 provides advertisement contents to the user terminals 200 and 300, and when the advertisements are output from the user terminals 200 and 300 or a link included in the advertisement is selected When a series of actions associated with the ad content is performed, the corresponding point is added as a reward to the earning point of that user.

The pointing system according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a push server 400. The push server 400 may forward a specific message to the user terminals 200 and 300 in response to a request from the point server 100 in a push notification manner.

For example, the point server 100 may provide a push server 400 with a message for causing the advertisement content to be executed via the advertisement content itself or the application described above as a method for providing the advertisement content to the user terminal 200, To the user terminal (200, 300). When the point server 100 executes the advertisement content through the above-mentioned application by selecting such a push notification, the point server 100 can accumulate points in the user account of the corresponding user terminal 200, 300 as compensation for such an operation.

On the other hand, the operation of the user terminals 200 and 300 for accumulating points will be described as a 'point accumulating operation' hereinafter.

The accumulated points accumulated for each user account at this time can be calculated by adding points added at the start point by performing the point accumulation operation.

Meanwhile, the point accumulation operation according to the embodiment of the present invention may include watching the advertisement content or performing a specific operation through the advertisement.

The point accumulation operation may also include an operation associated with the recommendation. I will give a concrete example below.

The point server 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may complete the subscription of the new user (the subscription may be completed simply by installing the above-described application or may be completed by performing a procedure of inputting predetermined personal information The user can input the information of the recommender who encouraged the user to join. The recommender information may be identification information (may be a mobile communication terminal number) of the user terminal 200 or 300 of the recommender, personal identification information (resident registration number, e-mail address, etc.) of a recommender input when a recommender subscribes to the service, And may be at least one of the unique information given from the point server 100 in the process.

Then, the point server 100 transmits to the recommender's user account an additional point proportional to the points to be earned to the nominated person by performing the point accumulation operation of the nominee, or a point proportional to the point accumulated to the nominee by performing the point accumulation operation of the nominee Can be earned.

For example, 100 points are set so as to be accumulated at the time of performing a specific point accumulation operation, and 90% of 100 points are awarded to the nominee and 10 points of 10% And the like. Or, if the person performing the point accumulation operation under the same conditions performs the point accumulation operation, the user may be allowed to accumulate 100 points as it is, and 10 points of the 100 points, 10 points, may be accumulated in the recommender.

Furthermore, the point server 100 can cause the recommendation person to accumulate a certain percentage of points or corresponding points among the points to be earned to the nominee by the pointing operation of the other user by having the observer again as the observer . That is, points corresponding to some percentage of the points added to the earning points of the person to be nominated can be added to the earning points of the recommender.

By setting the recommender in this way, even if the recommender does not perform the point accumulation operation directly, it is possible to add a continuous point by adding the other person to the service. Accordingly, even if the specific user sets the starting point high and the usage condition point is set high, it is possible to make the earning point of the user reach the use condition point only by encouraging the subscription of other users.

Next, a point accumulating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

2 is a block diagram of a point accumulation device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, it will be assumed that the point server 100 is a point accumulating device.

In the following description, a user terminal used by a first user is referred to as a first user terminal 200, and a user terminal used by a second user is described as a second user terminal 300. [ Herein, the first user and the second user may be users subscribed to the point accumulation service provided by the point server 100. Hereinafter, a first user accumulates points through the first user terminal 200, I will focus mainly on using the points. It is assumed that the second user subscribes to the service provided by the point server 100 by recommendation of the first user.

The pointer accumulating apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a start point providing unit 110 that a user provides to a user providing a specific starting point.

The start point providing unit 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention can store and manage the earned point information and the starting point information for each user account. In particular, in order to store the start point information for each user, the start point providing unit 110 can select a starting point of a desired level from the user terminal 200, 300 of each user. When the start point is selected, the start point providing unit 110 may provide a starting point to the user through the process of modifying the start point information associated with the user account.

The selection of the starting point may be made by the user directly selecting points, or the starting point providing unit 110 may provide a predetermined plurality of different points to be selected by the user and selecting one of them from the user Can be achieved

On the other hand, the selection of the start point can be made before the new user completes the join procedure and performs the initial point accumulation operation. Or when the user's earned point reaches the above-mentioned use condition point and the user uses the earned point, a new start point can be selected again.

Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the user may change the starting point again by selecting the starting point on a date different from the selected date. That is, if the user selects a start point on a specific date, the start point may be changed the next day. Also, in this case, the start point providing unit 110 may return the start point provided to the user based on the changed start point. The user can first adjust the usage condition point determined through the change of the start point when it is determined that the use condition point determined in accordance with the specific starting point is excessive. The present invention allows the user to continuously use the point accumulating device 100 by allowing the user to adjust the use condition point acquisition difficulty level.

Also, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the start point providing unit 110 may measure the user's point accumulation speed and suggest to the user to change the starting point. The start point providing unit 110 may suggest that the larger the point added to the user's earning point for a predetermined period, the more the starting point is changed to a larger starting point.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, the use condition point can be determined according to the specified starting point. The use condition point can also be determined in proportion to the size of the starting point. That is, the larger the size of the specified starting point, the larger the use condition point.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, in order for the user to use the start point provided to the user, the accumulation point including the start point must reach the use condition point. Therefore, it can be said that the starting point is recognized when the earning point reaches the use condition point.

The present invention provides a starting point to the user and requires the user to reach a certain usage condition point in order to use the provided starting point, thereby inducing the user's continuous point-earning operation. Further, the present invention induces the use of the point accumulating device 100 to perform such a point accumulating operation (for example, the service provided by the point using device is provided). The user is more likely to see advertisements or the like through the use of the point accumulation operation or the point accumulation device 100. [ Therefore, the present invention can efficiently provide the advertisement to the user through the point accumulation device 100. [

Further, according to the present invention, as the number of starting points is increased, the size of points obtained by the user may be large. However, since the user must accumulate more points in proportion to the starting point in order to use the points, So that the device 100 can be used.

3 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a start point specific screen displayed on a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the starting point providing unit 110 may present a starting point candidate so that the user can select a starting point. In FIG. 3, it is shown that candidates for starting point are 500 won, 1,000 won, 3,000 won, 5,000 won, 10,000 won, 50,000 won, 500,000 won and 5 million won. 3, the usage condition points are set to 3,000 won, 5,000 won, 12,000 won, 15,000 won, 28,000 won, 130,000 won, 1,200,000 won and 11 million won, respectively, corresponding to each starting point candidate have. As shown in FIG. 3, the use condition point according to the embodiment of the present invention may become larger as the size of the starting point increases.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, when the user specifies a starting point, the use condition point is determined accordingly, and when the user's accumulated point exceeds the use condition point, the user can use the earning point.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the user may specify a starting point by selecting a specific starting point from among the presented starting point candidates.

2, each configuration of the point providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The point providing apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a reward point monitoring unit 120 that monitors the reward points of each user. The accumulation point monitoring unit 120 may determine whether each of the accumulation points of the user has reached the above-described use condition point at each accumulation point calculation, or when a point utilization request is received from the user.

The user terminal 100 may further include a usage right subscription unit 130 for granting a usage right to the user to the point-of-interest when the monitored point-of-interest point reaches the usage condition point.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, when the accumulation point monitoring unit 120 calculates the accumulation point of whether or not the accumulation point of each user reaches the use condition point described above, i.e., adds a new accumulation point to the current accumulation point In the case where it is determined every time, the usage right subscription unit 130 may grant the right to use the earning point to the user in advance if it is determined that the earning point has reached the use condition point. Granting of the crediting point authorization may be accomplished by recording authorization information on whether the crediting point is available for the user's account. When a usage right is given to a specific user, the usage right subscription unit 130 may notify the user terminal 200 or 300 of the user that the usage right of the acquisition point has been granted.

On the other hand, when the reward point monitoring unit 120 receives the point use request from the user terminals 200 and 300 and judges whether or not the reward point of the user has reached the use condition point and judges the presence or absence of the use right, The control unit 130 permits the use of the accumulation point when the accumulation point of the user reaches the use condition point, and restricts the use of the accumulation point if it is determined that the accumulation point is not used.

As described above, in the case where the usage right subscriber 130 has previously recorded the authority information by judging the existence of the usage right, the usage right subscription unit 130 determines whether the point use request is received from the user terminal 200 or 300 You may grant or limit the use of the earned points by checking only the rights information.

The point accumulating apparatus 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a point accumulating unit 140 that accumulates points acquired based on a user's point accumulating operation. The point accumulating unit 140 according to the embodiment of the present invention can accumulate points by the point accumulating operation of the first user (recommender) and can accumulate the point accumulating operation of the second user (nominated person) It is possible to accumulate points of the first user. Meanwhile, the point accumulating unit 140 may accumulate points to the first user when at least one of the first user's personal identification information or the unique information given to the first user is received during the second user's subscription process .

Hereinafter, a point accumulating method performed by the point accumulating device 100 included in the point accumulating system as described above with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7 will be described step by step.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a point accumulation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the point accumulating device 100 provides a starting point to the user based on the user's starting point specification (S401). As described above, the point accumulation device 100 may provide a start point to a user through a method of storing start point information in a user's account.

The point accumulation device 100 can monitor the accumulation point of the user (S403). The point accumulating device 100 may monitor the accumulation point accumulated by performing the user's point accumulating operation. The earning point may include a starting point assigned to the user, and the point given to the user by the user's activity at the starting point may be added.

The point accumulating device 100 can determine whether the user's earning point has reached the use condition point described above at each earning point calculation or when the point use request is received from the user.

Next, each step of Fig. 4 will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 7. Fig.

First, a starting point providing process (S401) will be described. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a step of providing a starting point of a point accumulation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the subscription request is received (S501) from a specific user terminal, the pointing device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can perform the subscription procedure (S503). When the subscription procedure is performed, the point-setting apparatus 100 can create and manage a user account unique to the user terminal or the user corresponding to the personal information received during the subscription procedure.

During or immediately after completion of the subscription procedure, the point accumulation device 100 provides the starting point setting information to the user terminal (S505). The starting point setting information may include information on a plurality of different levels of points that the user can select.

The user can confirm the start point setting information and select one of the start point setting information, so that the point server receives the start point information selected from the user terminal and stores the received start point information for the user account (S507). At this time, the point server can immediately check the use condition point corresponding to the corresponding starting point immediately after receiving the starting point information, and store the associated point in association with the same user account.

At this time, if the number of user-selectable start points is limited, the use condition point corresponding to the start point of each level may be stored in advance in the point server. However, if the start point is selected through the text input of the user, the point server may have a function for calculating the use condition point with the start point as a variable. In this case, the point server can calculate and store the use condition point.

In this monitoring process, if it is confirmed that the specific user's accumulated point has reached the use condition point corresponding to the user, that is, the usage condition point corresponding to the start point set by the user, (Step S605). This can be done by recording the credential information indicating that the user's account of the user has the right to use the crediting point. Further, at this time, the point accumulating device 100 may notify the user terminal of the user that the use right is granted.

Of course, according to the embodiment, the point accumulating device 100 may determine whether the accumulation point can be used when the user requests use of the accumulation point without monitoring the accumulation point of the user in advance.

Next, the point use process (S407) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a process of using a credit accumulation point in a point accumulation method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 7, the point accumulating device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may receive a request for using the accumulation point from the user terminal (S701). Upon receiving the request to use the accumulation point, the point accumulation device 100 can confirm whether the usage right has been granted to the user or not (S703). (In other words, when the rights information is not recorded), it is judged whether or not the use point of the corresponding user at the point of time when the request for using the accumulated point is received and the usage condition point It is possible to determine whether or not the earned point has reached the use condition point and confirm whether or not the use right exists.

Accordingly, if it is determined that the user has the right to use the earned point, the point server may set the earned point of the user to the usage condition point or the usage request (of course, not to directly select the earning point level to be used by the user) (Step S705), or the accumulated points corresponding to the deducted amount may be used. In this case, for example, when the use of the accumulation point is cash conversion of the accumulation point, the point server refers to the account information stored in association with the user account of the corresponding user, and transmits the cash corresponding to the value of the accumulation point deducted to the user can do.
