Description

METHOD FOR BUYING ARTICLE AND THEREFORE SOPPING SYSTEM,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for purchasing goods through offline shopping and a shopping support system for supporting the same.

Usually, the buyer generally visits a store such as a shop, selects a desired item, and purchases the item offline by paying the purchase cost of the selected item. In addition, the purchased items can be delivered to a desired location by using a delivery or delivery service provided by a shop or the like, or carried directly to a desired place.

For example, when purchasing an object at a discount store, the purchaser moves the object directly into the cart or shopping cart, moves to the counter, and makes payment for the purchase of the object. The above-mentioned payment is carried by the transportation means such as shopping cart or envelope, or the delivery or delivery service provided at the discount store may be used.

Therefore, it is common that stores that sell goods offline, that is, in-store stores, have enough space to display the goods to be sold, as well as a card or shopping cart to be used by the buyer. And the buyer had to carry items to buy using the carts and shopping carts in the store until the end of the purchase.

In addition, the store must establish a system to provide the delivery or delivery service for the purchaser's purchases. In addition, even for buyers, in order to use the delivery or delivery service, they had to carry the purchased items to the delivery or delivery reception counter.

However, in the case of online shopping where an article is purchased online, it is convenient that the buyer can receive the article at the desired place without having to carry the article. Therefore, online shopping has become an alternative to solve the inconvenience of offline shopping. Due to the high communication infrastructure, online shopping is becoming widespread.

For example, in the case of online shopping, a purchaser decides an article to be purchased based on information provided by a shopping mall, and then proceeds to settle the amount of the article. Of course, it is necessary to register the address to which the purchased goods are to be shipped if necessary. However, in most cases, if the shopping mall has been used before, it may also be omitted.

However, in the case of online shopping, the buyer can not directly check the goods, and the exchange / return ratio tends to be relatively higher than in the offline shopping.

Therefore, in order to increase the satisfaction of the buyer's offline shopping, the burden of carrying the purchased goods at the time of shopping should be solved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a new article selling method and a shopping assistance system for supporting the purchase of a desired article are proposed, in which a purchaser can purchase a desired article without directly moving the substance of the article to be purchased at the time of offline shopping.

In addition, embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for collecting information necessary for purchasing items displayed for offline shopping using a purchaser terminal and a shopping support system for supporting the same.

It should be noted that only the parts necessary for understanding the operation according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in the following description, and the description of the other parts will be omitted so as not to disturb the gist of the present invention.

The following terms are defined in consideration of the functions of the present invention, and these may be changed according to the intention of the user, the operator, or the like. Therefore, the definition should be based on the contents throughout this specification.

In the embodiment of the present invention to be described later, an embodiment according to a combination of a new offline shopping plan, a delivery (or delivery) acceptance scheme, and a newly proposed offline shopping and delivery (or delivery) service will be described in detail.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a new offline shopping method is proposed in which the purchaser collects information (hereinafter referred to as "article purchase information" And a process of paying the purchase amount of the goods. Here, the item purchase information means information necessary for processing a settlement for purchasing the object. For example, the article purchase information may include identification information of the article, purchase quantity, unit price information, and the like.

To this end, in the embodiment of the present invention, the purchase information is collected from a recording medium arranged in the offline store using a terminal (hereinafter referred to as "buyer terminal") owned by the buyer. At this time, it is preferable that the recording medium is arranged together with an actual object.

On the other hand, if the recording medium can provide the purchase information to the purchaser terminal, it does not limit the method. The purchase information should not be provided to the purchaser terminal just against the buyer's will.

Typically, the recording medium may be a non-communication scheme for providing information in the form of a bar code image such as primary, secondary, tertiary, or the like, or a communication scheme for providing information stored therein by an electrical signal upon request. In addition, direct communication via cable may be applied.

In the case of the non-communication method, an image such as an RQ code is displayed on a recording medium, and information about the object is provided by photographing an image using a camera or the like of the buyer terminal. In this case, the purchaser terminal must include an application for extracting desired information from an image photographed through a camera. Preferably, the image is displayed on a package of the object or object.

In the case of the above communication method, it is possible to receive information on the object based on short-range wireless communication such as a Bluetooth communication method and an NFC (Near Field Communication) communication method. In this case, the purchaser terminal preferably includes hardware and software components for supporting short-range wireless communication, and an application for extracting information about the goods collected by the short-range wireless communication method.

As described above, since various schemes are proposed for information sharing, it is necessary to promise an information sharing rule to be used beforehand between the purchaser terminal and the recording medium.

For the embodiment of the present invention, the purchaser's terminal not only has hardware performance supporting various communication methods for smooth collection of purchase information of goods, but also software for collecting goods purchase information and supporting payment and delivery using the collected goods purchase information . For example, the purchaser terminal may be a smartphone or an offline store of a purchaser installed with an application required to perform a function according to an embodiment of the present invention, that is, a separate terminal that is provided to a merchant and allowed to be used by a purchaser.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention to be described later, the purchase price is processed using the purchase information collected by the purchaser terminal.

For example, the purchaser transmits information on purchase of goods, information necessary for payment, and information necessary for distribution, collected by the purchaser terminal, to not only the payment terminal but also other apparatuses having payment authority.

For this purpose, the payment processing device including the payment terminal and the purchaser terminal can use short range wireless communication such as Bluetooth communication and NFC communication. At this time, a payment processing apparatus (hereinafter referred to as " payment processing apparatus ") installed for settlement pays a purchase amount based on the article purchase information provided from the purchaser terminal by a predetermined payment method. The payment processing apparatus may be one of a payment terminal, a merchant server, and a relay server.

The payment processing device reflects the sales amount policy based on the event information provided by the merchant at the time of determining the purchase amount. And the information on the payment means for payment may be provided to the payment processing apparatus by the purchaser terminal or may be registered in advance in at least one device involved in the payment processing. If the information on the payment means is previously registered in the specific device, authentication information for using the information on the previously registered payment means should be provided from the buyer terminal. For example, the authentication information may be identification information of the purchaser, and may be a telephone number of the purchaser or information previously set by the purchaser.

The settlement processing apparatus processes settlement of purchases on the basis of the acquired purchase information, the information on the payment means, and the event information that can be applied according to necessity, provided from the purchaser terminal.

In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, a method for requesting the delivery of the purchased goods by the purchaser is prepared. At this time, the method proposed by the embodiment of the present invention can be applied as an example of the purchaser purchasing the goods and paying the purchase amount accordingly. The sharing of information to handle delivery of goods to purchases must be made.

In order to apply the payment plan and the delivery plan proposed in the embodiment of the present invention together, it is preferable that the buyer terminal transmits the delivery information to the delivery request apparatus when the purchase information is transmitted to the payment processing apparatus. The reason for this is that the receipt for the delivery service must be made after the settlement of the purchase amount for the item to be shipped is completed. On the other hand, the payment processing apparatus and the delivery request apparatus may be assigned the same or different apparatuses.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this case, the same reference numerals are used in the embodiments of the present invention in principle.

A. Examples of offline shopping

First, a method of purchasing an article according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows an offline marketing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The offline marketing system refers to a system that supports general procedures for selling and purchasing goods in an offline store.

1, the offline trading system includes a recording medium 110, a purchaser terminal 120, payment terminals 130, a merchant server 140, and a relay server 150.

The recording medium 110 displays or stores information (hereinafter referred to as "article purchase information") about a specific article sold in an offline store. For example, the recording medium 110 displays object purchase information in an image form or in an electrical signal form. The recording medium 110 provides the purchaser terminal 120 with the item purchase information displayed or stored therein.

A representative example of the image form is a bar code, and may have one of a one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional bar code. In this case, the barcode may be affixed to the article or to the wrapper wrapped in the article. However, it may be attached to a shelf separately from the product. At this time, it may be common to have one bar code in one article, but it may be provided with a different bar code depending on the quantity of the article to be purchased. At this time, the article purchase information provided for each bar code includes information on the purchase quantity of the article. This makes it easier for the buyer to collect the purchase information corresponding to the desired quantity.

As another example, when the purchase information is recorded as an electrical signal, the recording medium 110 provides purchase information in response to a request from the purchaser terminal 120 according to a predetermined communication protocol. Of course, the recording medium 110 may broadcast the purchase information of the recording medium 110 itself without a request from the purchaser terminal 120 according to a predetermined communication protocol. In this case, the purchaser terminal 120 should be able to collectively collect only the article purchase information broadcast by the recording medium 110 corresponding to the article to be purchased.

Meanwhile, the article purchase information recorded in the recording medium 110 may be changed periodically or non-periodically by the seller. To this end, the recording medium 110 preferably records the purchase information in the form of an electrical signal. In this case, the article purchase information recorded on the recording medium 110 can be updated more easily by the server (for example, the merchant server 140) that supports the sale in the offline store. This can be used effectively for events that happen suddenly on a per-item basis.

However, the configuration for updating the article purchase information recorded on the recording medium 110 is not shown in FIG. However, it is possible to construct the offline marketing system so as to update the article purchase information recorded on the recording medium 110 by using the server which can be centrally controlled, by the configuration of FIG.

On the other hand, the purchase information provided by the recording medium 110 should include at least the item identification information for recognizing the object. In addition, information on the purchase quantity of the object, price information, event information, and the like may be included.

If the information on the goods includes only the goods identification information, the purchase quantity information, the price information, the event information, and the like can be set by the buyer or the seller (e.g., an employee who sells the goods in the offline store) have. That is, the purchase quantity information can be inputted by the buyer or the seller by operating the buyer terminal 120. Here, the purchase quantity information has a comprehensive meaning as information for identifying the sales unit of the object, such as the number of purchased items, the purchase weight, and the like.

The purchaser terminal 120 collects information on at least one item to be purchased among the items to be sold in the off-line store. That is, the buyer terminal 120 receives the article purchase information from the recording medium 110 provided corresponding to the article desired to be purchased. At this time, the provision of the article purchase information may be changed according to the type of the article purchase information recorded on the recording medium 110.

For example, if the purchase information is displayed on the recording medium 110 in the form of an image, the purchaser terminal 120 can acquire the object purchase information corresponding to the object by photographing the image using a camera or the like. In this case, a bar code such as a QR code may be an example of a representative image for displaying the purchase information.

On the other hand, if the purchase information is recorded in the recording medium 110 in the form of an electrical signal, the purchaser terminal 120 collects the object purchase information corresponding to the object in accordance with the predetermined communication protocol. In this case, short-range wireless communication such as NFC may be a typical communication protocol. In the case where the purchaser terminal 120 provides the purchase information in accordance with the predetermined communication protocol, the purchaser terminal 120 may provide the recording medium 110 with information on the purchase quantity of the item to be purchased. This is necessary for collecting more accurate purchase information from the recording medium 110. [

In addition, if the purchaser terminal 120 supports both of the above-described two methods, there may be mixed media in the offline store for convenience of supporting one of the two modes.

On the other hand, the price information of the article to be purchased is not necessarily included in the article purchase information collected by the buyer terminal 120, For example, the price information may be managed by a device for processing settlement, that is, a payment terminal 130. In this case, if the payment terminal 130 knows only the goods identification information and the purchase quantity information, it can calculate the correct payment amount at the time of payment.

However, if the purchase information includes price information, the buyer can provide the convenience of confirming the expected amount for purchasing goods during shopping.

The purchaser terminal 120 generates shopping information based on the collected goods purchase information when collecting goods purchase information related to at least one item to be purchased as described above. If the collected goods purchase information includes sufficient information for settlement of the goods to be purchased, the collected goods purchase information and shopping information may be the same. Otherwise, the buyer terminal 120 can generate shopping information by processing goods purchase information collected based on the unique information of the buyer terminal 120 itself.

For example, the shopping information may include the item identification information acquired from the collected goods purchase information and the purchase quantity information of each purchased item, or may be the purchase amount calculated based on the collected goods purchase information. The purchase amount can be calculated by further considering the event information provided in the offline store. The event information may be stored separately from the item purchase information collected in the buyer terminal 120.

However, unlike the above description, the buyer terminal 120 can regard the collection of purchase information of goods as generating shopping information. That is, the shopping information may be generated by replacing the shopping information by collecting the goods purchase information, thereby not performing another operation for generating the shopping information.

The purchaser terminal 120 provides the goods purchase information or the generated shopping information (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "shopping information") collected earlier to the payment terminal 130. At this time, the purchaser terminal 120 may provide the shopping information to the payment terminal 130 using the short-distance wireless communication.

The purchaser terminal 120 may include means for payment. In this case, the purchaser processes payment for the purchase amount of the purchased item using the purchaser terminal 120. [ That is, the purchaser terminal 120 provides the payment terminal 130 with information on the payment means stored by itself at the request of the purchaser. However, if information on the payment means is already stored in the payment terminal 130 or the merchant server 140, the purchaser terminal 120 transmits information for authenticating the information on the payment means to the payment terminal 130 to provide. Here, the information for authentication may be buyer identification information, and may further include a previously registered customer telephone number or a name of the customer. Of course, for higher security, the information for the authentication may be arbitrarily set or encrypted by the customer.

For example, the information on the payment means may be card information for credit transaction, and may be information necessary for credit transaction such as card number, expiration date, and the like.

Meanwhile, the purchaser terminal 120 may directly provide shopping information and information regarding the payment means to the merchant server 140 or the relay server 150 instead of the payment terminal 130. If the buyer terminal 120 requests payment to the relay server 150, it is preferable that the buyer terminal 120 provides information on the offline store, that is, the affiliated store, to the relay server 150.

In addition, the purchaser terminal 120 may update the already purchased goods information according to the buyer's request through the provided user interface. That is, when the purchaser requests deletion or change of the article purchase information collected in response to a specific article, the article purchase information is deleted or changed from the shopping information in response to the request. This will be deemed to be the purchase of the item or the purchase of the changed information. For example, the purchaser can request the setting or change of the quantity of the goods to be purchased, and the buyer terminal 120 sets or changes the purchase quantity information constituting the item purchase information corresponding to the object in response to the request of the buyer.

The purchaser terminal 120 operating as described above may be a terminal such as a smart phone which is owned privately by the purchaser, or a terminal specialized in the in-line store specialized for the function. When using a terminal owned only by a buyer, it is preferable to install an application for sale in the offline store in advance. It is common that the application is downloaded from a server corresponding to an offline store or a server providing only a specific application. In addition, when the buyer enters the offline store, the application may be installed with the consent of the purchaser at the merchant server that has noticed it.

The settlement terminal 130 supports payment for purchasing goods based on the shopping information provided from the purchaser terminal 120 and the information regarding the payment means. For example, the payment terminal 130 may be a Point Of Sale (POS) terminal installed at a large discount store or a department store.

The payment terminal 130 receives information on the payment means from the merchant server 140 using the purchaser identification information provided by the purchaser terminal 120 or receives information read by the separately provided card reader from information on the payment means Lt; / RTI >

For example, when the goods identification information and the purchase quantity information are provided by the shopping information, the payment terminal 130 calculates the payment amount based on the shopping information. However, when the purchase amount is provided by the shopping information, the payment terminal 130 may calculate the new payment amount by considering the purchase amount as a payment amount or by applying an event to the purchase amount. That is, the purchase amount provided as shopping information corresponds to the amount before payment is reflected or the price policy according to the event is reflected.

On the other hand, the payment terminal 130 can acquire information on the payment means required for payment from the information on the payment means that is provided from the purchaser terminal 120 or the card reader or registered in advance. That is, the settlement amount is paid by the information related to the payment means provided by the purchaser terminal 120 or the settlement amount is paid by the information concerning the payment means read by the card reader. In addition, the settlement of the settlement amount is processed by the information on the payment means registered in advance in response to the buyer identification information. At this time, the information on the payment means has the same meaning as defined in the description of the purchaser terminal 120.

Since the payment procedure performed by the payment terminal 130 is already known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. There may be procedures that are omitted or additionally required depending on the device provided for payment only.

For example, when payment is processed by the payment terminal 130, a procedure for transferring the payment request of the payment terminal 130 to the relay server 130 through the merchant server 140 will be added. However, if the merchant server 140 does not exist, only a procedure for transferring the payment request of the payment terminal 130 to the relay server 140 will be added.

In addition, when payment is processed by the merchant server 140, the merchant server 140 requires only a procedure for directly requesting payment to the relay server 130. However, if the payment request by the buyer terminal 120 is made directly to the relay server 150, no additional procedure is needed to deliver the payment request.

The merchant server 140 may be a plurality of payment terminals # 1 to #n (130-1, 130-2, 130-n) installed in a large discount store or a department store, have. Therefore, the merchant server 140 is not necessarily required in the embodiment of the present invention.

The relay server 150 performs overall payment processing for the payment amount in response to the payment request of the purchaser terminal 120, the payment terminal 130, or the merchant server 140. [ For example, the relay server 150 may be implemented as a VAN (Value Added Network) server. In this case, if there is a payment request from the purchaser terminal 120, the payment terminal 130, or the merchant server 140, the relay server 150 transmits a payment request according to each card company's professional format, Message to the card issuer server. And receives the approval result from the card issuer server and transmits the approval result to the purchaser terminal 120, the payment terminal 130, or the merchant server 420.

For example, the relay server 150 checks the validity of the event information through the merchant server 140 when the buyer terminal 120 receives event information of the merchant besides the shopping information and the payment means. If the event information is valid, the payment amount is calculated by reflecting the pricing policy based on the event information. The relay server 150 requests the credit card company to pay the calculated payment amount. The event information may be a discount coupon for each product, a discount coupon for the total amount, or a membership card information.

In the description based on the above-described configuration, the payment processing is performed by the payment terminal 130 on the premise. However, it goes without saying that payment processing by various combinations is possible. For example, a combination in which the merchant server 140 is excluded can be used as well as a combination in which the payment terminal 130 is excluded. In addition, both the payment terminal 130 and the merchant server 140 may be excluded, and the purchaser terminal 120 and the relay server 150 may directly perform settlement processing.

In an embodiment of the present invention, one of the payment terminal 130, the merchant server 140, and the relay server 150 that receives a payment request directly from the purchaser terminal 120 is referred to as a 'payment processing device' .

FIG. 2 illustrates a processing procedure for offline marketing according to an embodiment of the present invention. In other words, FIG. 2 shows an example in which the purchaser terminal 120 processes payment for the purchase amount through the payment terminal 130. Therefore, in the procedure shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the merchant server 140 is excluded from the configuration of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, the purchaser terminal 120 collects goods purchase information for at least one item desired to be purchased among items sold in the offline store (S210). For example, the purchaser terminal 120 reads the barcode of the recording medium provided for the article to be purchased, and collects the article purchase information acquired by reading the barcode. At this time, the barcode may be a barcode attached to a commodity or a product package, or may be a barcode attached to a commodity display bar. This applies equally to all embodiments of the present invention.

The buyer terminal 120 generates shopping information based on the collected goods purchase information. Since the purchase information collected for the generation of the shopping information has already been described in detail in the foregoing, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The purchaser terminal 120 transmits the generated shopping information to the payment terminal 130 (S220). The purchaser terminal 120 may use short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth communication or NFC communication when the shopping information is transmitted to the payment terminal 130.

The creation of the shopping information and the transmission of the generated shopping information are preferably performed in a payment mode for settlement. In addition, the purchaser terminal 120 may include a specific application for collecting goods purchase information and delivering shopping information generated through the purchase information.

Upon receiving the shopping information from the purchaser terminal 120, the payment terminal 130 requests the relay server 150 to approve payment of the purchase amount based on the received shopping information (S230). At this time, the payment terminal 130 can request payment approval using the information about the payment means transmitted by the purchaser terminal 120 or the information about the payment means read through the card reader. In this case, the information on the payment means may be included in the shopping information and provided from the purchaser terminal 120.

However, if the shopping information does not include information on the payment means, the payment terminal 130 obtains information on the payment means previously registered corresponding to the purchaser from the merchant server or the relay server 150 Is further required. However, FIG. 2 does not show the procedure to be followed.

However, in order to acquire information on the payment means from the merchant server or the relay server 150, additional information for identifying the buyer is required. Therefore, the shopping information should not include information on the payment means, but should include information for identifying the purchaser. The information for identifying the purchaser may be a telephone number of the purchaser, an authentication number set in advance, or the like.

In FIG. 2, the payment terminal 130 directly requests the relay server 150 for payment approval. However, if there is a merchant server, the payment terminal 130 may request payment to the relay server 150 through the merchant server.

When the payment approval request is received from the payment terminal 130, the relay server 150 transmits a payment approval for the requested purchase amount to the corresponding card company server (S240). In step S250, the relay server 150 receives the settlement approval from the card issuer server in response to the settlement approval request.

The relay server 150 transmits the received payment approval details to the payment terminal 130 (S260). The settlement terminal 130 outputs the payment approval details transmitted from the relay server 150. [

In addition, the purchaser terminal 120 may receive payment approval details transmitted in the form of a message or the like by the relay server 150 or the payment terminal 130 (S270, S270 ').

For example, the relay server 150 may transmit the settlement approval details to the purchaser terminal 120 through the public communication network. Meanwhile, the payment terminal 130 may transmit the payment approval details to the purchaser terminal 120 using a local wireless communication technology such as NFC.

FIG. 3 shows a processing procedure for offline marketing according to another embodiment of the present invention. That is, FIG. 3 shows an example in which the purchaser terminal 120 requests payment to the merchant server 140 for the direct purchase amount. Therefore, in the procedure shown in FIG. 3, it can be seen that the payment terminal 130 is excluded from the configuration of FIG.

Therefore, only the difference is shown in FIG. 3 that the merchant server 140 performs the operations performed by the payment terminal 130 in FIG. In other words, only the merchant server 140 participates in the operations in S330, S360, and S370 in FIG. 3 corresponding to S230, S260, and S270 in which the payment terminal 130 participates in FIG.

FIG. 4 shows a processing procedure for offline marketing according to another embodiment of the present invention. 4, the buyer terminal 120 directly requests the relay server 150 to settle the purchase amount. Therefore, in the procedure shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the payment terminal 130 and the merchant server 140 are excluded from the configuration of FIG. It is assumed that the payment terminal 130 or the merchant server 140 only receives the payment approval details from the relay server 150 and outputs only the payment approval details.

FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a block configuration of the purchaser terminal 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention. 5, the buyer terminal 120 includes a control unit 510, an information collecting unit 520, a user interface unit 530, a memory 540, and a communication unit 550.

Referring to FIG. 5, the control unit 510 collects goods purchase information for offline shopping, and performs overall control to settle an amount for purchasing goods based on the collected goods purchase information. For example, the control unit 510 can collect goods purchase information and control the payment procedure based on the collected goods purchase information at the request of the purchaser through the user interface unit 530. [

Under the control of the controller 510, the information collecting unit 520 collects goods purchase information for the article to be purchased from the recording medium corresponding to the article to be purchased. Therefore, the manner in which the information collecting unit 520 collects the object purchase information depends on the manner in which the recording medium provides the object purchase information.

For example, when the recording medium provides article purchase information by means of an image such as a bar code, the information collecting unit 520 may use a camera (not shown) or the like to acquire goods from an image such as a bar code provided by the recording medium Purchase information is acquired. In this case, the information collecting unit 520 or the control unit 510 can use a commercial application for obtaining goods purchase information from the image input through the camera or the like. The commercial application resides in the memory 540 and is generally driven by the request of the controller 510. [ At this time, the image of the bar code or the like may be attached to the commodity or the commodity package or may be separately attached to the commodity shelf.

As another example, when the recording medium provides article purchase information by a local area communication technique, the information collecting unit 520 includes a communication module for collecting information by a local area communication technique used by the recording medium. In this case, the information collecting unit 520 may request the article purchase information to the recording medium at the request of the controller 510, and may collect desired article purchase information from the recording medium in response to the request. Alternatively, if the recording medium supports a method of broadcasting the purchase information of the object, the information collecting unit 520 may collect desired object purchase information without a separate request. It is necessary to provide a way for the information collecting unit 520 to selectively collect the article purchase information broadcasted by the recording medium when the article purchasing information is collected by broadcasting.

When the information collection unit 520 can support various information collection methods, the information collection unit 520 may selectively use an optimum information collection method according to the control of the control unit 510 or the request of the recording medium.

The information collecting unit 520 may manage the goods purchase information collected by the above-described method by the memory 540 through the control unit 510 or may directly provide the information to the memory 540 to be managed.

The control unit 510 generates shopping information based on the collected goods purchase information corresponding to at least one item when the shopping information creation request is received by the purchaser through the user interface unit 530. [ For example, the shopping information creation request may be a shopping completion command received from the purchaser through the user interface unit 530. [ The purchase information may be collected by the information collection unit 520 or may be provided from the memory 520.

The control unit 510 instructs the communication unit 550 to provide the generated shopping information to the payment processing apparatus when the payment request is received through the user interface unit 530. [ The settlement processing device means one of a settlement terminal, a merchant server, and a relay server for processing a payment according to a request from the buyer terminal, as defined above.

For example, the communication unit 550 may provide the shopping information to the payment processing apparatus using short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth communication or NFC communication. In addition, IP-based wired / wireless communication methods are applicable.

Meanwhile, a commercial application for settlement may be installed in the memory 540 in order to proceed with the settlement process by the controller 510, and a commercial application installed by the request of the controller 510 may be operated.

The user interface unit 530 may be implemented by various input / output devices. The user interface unit 530 may provide a command signal corresponding to the operation of the purchaser to the control unit 510 or may control the operation state of the purchaser terminal May be displayed.

Meanwhile, the control unit 510 calculates the estimated amount of expenditure based on the purchase information collected so far according to the request of the buyer through the user interface unit 530, and transmits the estimated amount of expenditure to the buyer through the user interface unit 530 .

In addition, the user interface unit 530 requests the buyer to input purchase quantity information represented by the number, weight, or the like, or to correct the purchase information, and transmits the information inputted by the buyer in response to the request to the controller 510 ). In this case, the controller 510 may update the article purchase information stored in the memory 540 based on the information provided from the user interface unit 530. At this time, the updated item purchase information may be outputted through the user interface unit 530 under the control of the control unit 510. [

In addition, the user interface unit 530 may provide the control unit 510 with information on the payment means input by the purchaser, or may display the payment progress status under the control of the controller 510. [

Alternatively, the information regarding the payment means may be registered in the memory 540 in advance. In this case, information on the payment means registered in the memory 510 should be provided to the control unit 510 by the payment request of the purchaser. It is preferable that the information on the payment means is protected by encryption or the like because it is information that is very important for the person. For example, the information on the payment means may be stored in a separate USIM chip having a strong security function. The information on the payment means may be card information for credit transaction or buyer identification information.

The control unit 510 can instruct the communication unit 550 to transmit the shopping information and information on the payment means to the payment processing apparatus. The communication unit 550 provides information on the shopping information and the payment means to the payment processing apparatus based on a predetermined communication method under the control of the control unit 510. [ The communication method that can be used at this time is preferably based on the network used in the credit settlement processing.

When the event information in the offline store exists in the memory 540, the controller 510 reflects the event information in the shopping information creation or provides the payment information to the payment processing device for the payment request.

FIG. 6 shows a control flow performed by the purchaser terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the purchaser terminal collects purchase information at step 610. That is, the buyer terminal collects goods purchase information for at least one item desired to be purchased among items sold in the offline store. For example, object purchase information can be collected based on barcode reading, near-field wireless communication, and the like.

The purchaser terminal monitors whether a shopping completion instruction such as a payment request is received by the purchaser while collecting the purchase information in step 612. [ The buyer terminal will continue to collect goods purchase information corresponding to the item to be purchased at the request of the buyer until the shopping completion instruction is received.

However, if the purchaser receives a shopping completion instruction such as a payment request, the purchaser terminal generates shopping information based on the article purchase information collected so far in step 614. For example, the shopping information may be generated by further considering the information on the payment means, the quantity information, and the event information in addition to the goods information and the price information. Various embodiments relating to the generation of the shopping information have already been described in detail with reference to Figs. 2 to 4, and further description will be omitted.

On the other hand, although not specifically shown in the drawing, the purchaser terminal can change or delete the purchased goods information according to a request of the buyer at the time of generating the shopping information. That is, the purchaser terminal can perform an operation for updating the purchase information collected at the request of the purchaser in step 614. For example, it is possible to delete item purchase information collected in response to a specific item, or to change the quantity information or the like for a specific item.

If the purchasing information has been changed by the purchaser, the purchaser terminal may generate shopping information based on the changed purchase information.

The purchaser terminal transmits the shopping information generated in step 616 to the payment processing apparatus. That is, the buyer terminal transmits the generated shopping information to one of the payment terminal, the merchant server, and the relay server designated as the payment processing device. At this time, the purchaser terminal can transmit shopping information using a short distance wireless communication such as Bluetooth communication or NFC communication.

Meanwhile, when the shopping information is transmitted to the relay server, it is preferable to provide the merchant information required for payment together with the merchant information.

The purchaser terminal may transmit the shopping information to the purchaser in step 618 and report the progress of payment provided from the payment processing apparatus to the purchaser. For example, the purchaser terminal receives the payment result from the payment processing apparatus and displays the payment result on a screen so that the purchaser can confirm the payment result.

FIG. 7 shows an example of a block configuration of a settlement processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 7 is one of the payment terminal 130, the merchant server 140 and the relay device 150, and includes a receiving unit 710, a control unit 720, and a transmitting unit 730.

Referring to FIG. 7, the receiving unit 710 receives shopping information from the purchaser terminal. At this time, in order to receive the shopping information from the purchaser terminal, a short-distance wireless communication method may be used.

The shopping information includes at least one item of merchandise information and price information, and optionally, information regarding the payment means. In addition, when the relay device 150 serves as a payment processing device, the shopping information may include merchant information corresponding to an offline store where the merchandise is sold.

In addition, the receiving unit 710 may further include event related information that is included in the shopping information or is in the off-line store, that is, the merchant, separately from the shopping information.

The receiving unit 710 provides the received shopping information to the control unit 720. The controller 720 controls overall operations for settlement based on the shopping information provided from the receiver 710.

When the event information is received in addition to the shopping information or the event information is input by an internal memory or an operator, the controller 720 reflects the event information at the time of payment. For example, the controller 720 determines a purchase amount based on the shopping information, and calculates a settlement amount for processing a final settlement by reflecting the price policy according to the event information to the determined purchase amount. However, if there is no event information, the purchase amount and the settlement amount will be the same.

If it is assumed that the relay server plays a role as a payment processing apparatus, the relay server preferably checks the validity of the event information when the event information is received from the buyer terminal. That is, the relay server provides the event information received from the buyer terminal to the merchant server, and when the event information is recognized as valid from the merchant server, the relay server reflects the event information to calculate the payment amount. This can be a method for preventing a settlement error due to the event information from occurring.

When the settlement amount calculation is completed, the controller 720 performs the settlement procedure for the calculated settlement amount using information on the settlement means. The control unit 720 may receive information on the payment means through the shopping information. However, if information on the payment means is not provided by the shopping information, the control unit 720 receives information on the payment means by another procedure.

For example, the control unit 720 may input information about the payment means read by the card reader or use information about the payment means registered in the internal memory. However, in order to use the information on the payment means registered in the internal memory, an authentication procedure is required. Therefore, the buyer terminal needs to provide the payment processing apparatus with information for confirming whether or not the use of the information on the registered payment means is permitted. The information that can be used at this time may be a telephone number of the purchaser or a cipher key registered by the purchaser.

In addition, although not shown, information regarding the payment means may be input through a user interface or may be provided from an external device through the receiving unit 710. [

When the controller 720 obtains the information regarding the payment means, the controller 720 processes the settlement of the payment amount calculated in the foregoing based on the acquired information on the payment means. That is, the control unit 720 provides the transmission unit 730 with information on the payment amount, the merchant information, and the payment means, and instructs the transmission unit 730 to process the payment according to the provided information.

Under the control of the controller 720, the transmitter 730 processes a normal settlement procedure for the settlement amount based on the information about the settlement unit.

The receiving unit 710 receives the payment approval details according to the payment approval from the financial server and provides it to the controller 720. The control unit 720 controls the transmission unit 730 to transmit the payment approval details to the buyer terminal or the payment terminal when the payment approval details are provided.

FIG. 8 shows a control flow performed by the settlement processing apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. At this time, some operations may be different depending on which of the payment terminal, the merchant server, and the relay server performs the function as the payment processing device. However, FIG. 8 shows only the operations that are commonly performed irrespective of the type of the settlement processing apparatus. Accordingly, operations that can be differentiated according to the type of settlement processing apparatus will be described in the following description.

Referring to FIG. 8, in step 810, the payment processing apparatus receives shopping information from a purchaser terminal using a short-range wireless communication method or the like. The shopping information includes goods information and price information for each purchase item, and may include information on the payment means. The shopping information may include merchant information corresponding to an offline store in which goods are sold. However, when the shopping information includes the merchant information, it is generally limited to the case where the relay device plays the role of the payment processing device.

In step 810, the payment processing apparatus may further receive event-related information from an offline store, that is, an affiliate store, from the shopper terminal.

The payment processing apparatus calculates a payment amount based on the shopping information received in step 812. [ The settlement processing device should calculate the settlement amount in consideration of the event information when the event information exists. The purchase amount is determined based on the shopping information, and the payment amount is calculated by reflecting the price policy according to the event information to the determined purchase amount. However, if the event information does not exist, the purchase amount and the settlement amount will be the same.

In the case where the relay server performs the operation according to Fig. 8, it is preferable to process the procedure for checking the validity of the acquired event information. For example, the relay server can confirm the validity of the event information received from the buyer terminal to the merchant server.

The payment processing apparatus determines whether the shopping information includes information on the payment means in step 814. [ If the shopping information does not include information on the payment means, the payment processing apparatus proceeds to step 816 and collects information on the payment means.

For example, the payment processing apparatus may use the information about the payment means read by the card reader provided therein or use information about the payment means registered in the internal memory. However, it is preferable to perform the authentication procedure in order to use the information on the payment means registered in the internal memory. To this end, the payment processing device may request a telephone number, an authentication number, and the like from the purchaser terminal.

In addition, the payment processing apparatus may receive information on the payment means through a user interface or may be provided from an external apparatus.

The payment processing apparatus acquires information on the payment means, and proceeds to step 818 to perform a payment procedure for the calculated payment amount. The settlement processing apparatus will perform a settlement procedure for the settlement amount using information on the acquired settlement means.

B. Examples of Delivery (or Delivery)

Next, a method of delivering goods according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 9 shows an offline marketing system for supporting a delivery service according to an embodiment of the present invention. The offline marketing system refers to a system that supports an overall procedure for delivering goods sold in an offline store.

9, the offline trading system includes a buyer terminal 910, payment terminals 920, a merchant server 930, a relay server 940, and a delivery server 950.

The purchaser terminal 910 may provide the delivery information for delivering the purchased goods to at least one of the payment terminal 920, the merchant server 930, and the relay server 940. For example, the delivery information may be destination information to be delivered as well as buyer identification information, as well as information on purchased goods.

For example, the destination information may be preset location information in the merchant's shop or an address of a purchaser who purchased the goods. It is preferable that only the customer's telephone number (e.g., home telephone number or mobile telephone number) is used as the buyer identification information. However, you can also use additional customer names.

On the other hand, when the buyer identification information is used as the delivery information, it is necessary to separately prepare a database for registering and managing the destination information corresponding to the buyer identification information in advance.

In addition, the above two methods can be applied simultaneously for delivery. That is, when no separate destination information is provided for the delivery from the purchaser, the delivery to the destination information registered in advance by the buyer identification information is set. If the destination information is provided for the delivery from the buyer, It is possible to set the delivery to the destination information provided by the user.

The buyer terminal 910 receives a guide message from the delivery server 940 or another device in response to the delivery requested by the buyer terminal 910, and informs the consumer when receiving the guide message.

Meanwhile, any one of the payment terminal 920, the merchant server 930, and the relay server 940 receives the delivery information provided from the purchaser terminal 910. One of the payment terminal 920, the merchant server 930, and the relay server 940, which has received the delivery information, will be referred to as a 'delivery request device'.

At this time, the delivery information may be provided from the purchaser terminal 910 to the delivery request apparatus using wireless local area communication. Here, the delivery information is information required to deliver the purchased item by the request of the consumer. It is preferable that the delivery information is provided after the payment for the purchased item is completed. Therefore, if the delivery is requested by the purchaser but the payment processing device and the delivery request device do not match, the payment processing device should be able to inform the delivery request device of the success of the payment.

The delivery information includes one of the destination information and the buyer identification information to which the purchased item is to be delivered and information on the purchased item. The reason why the delivery information includes the information about the purchased item is that the correct item can be delivered at the time of delivery. For example, the destination information may be a destination for delivering a purchased item, that is, an address of a destination.

The delivery request apparatus needs to prepare a database for managing destination information for each customer in advance in case that the delivery information includes the buyer identification information. Therefore, the delivery request apparatus can acquire the destination information managed in the database in response to the customer identified by the buyer identification information when the buyer identification information is provided.

The delivery request apparatus obtains the information on the object to be delivered and the destination information, and then requests the delivery of the purchased object based on the obtained information. At this time, the delivery request device requests delivery to the delivery server 950. The delivery request device provides the delivery server 950 with information about the object to be delivered and destination information at the time of the delivery request. At this time, it is necessary to apply a procedure of requesting the delivery request apparatus to deliver according to one of the payment terminal 920, the merchant server 930, and the relay server 940. For example, when the delivery requesting device is the payment terminal 920 or the relay server 940, the delivery request by the payment terminal 920 or the relay server 940 is transmitted to the delivery server 950 through the merchant server 930 . However, if the delivery requesting device is the merchant's server 930, it can request delivery directly to the delivery server 950 without going through another device.

On the other hand, when it is considered that the buyer identification information is provided as the destination information at the time of the delivery request by the delivery server 950, the delivery server 950 may have a database for managing destination information for each customer in advance .

When the delivery request is received from the delivery requesting device, the delivery server 950 sets delivery items to be delivered to the destination acquired based on the destination information, based on the information on the purchased items to be delivered. The above setting means a state in which the person in charge of the delivery is managed to recognize the item to be shipped and the destination to which the item is to be delivered.

In addition, when the delivery setting is completed in response to the delivery request, the delivery server 950 transmits a guide message to the corresponding buyer terminal 910 to inform that the delivery preparation is completed. For this purpose, if necessary, the delivery server 950 should manage a contact corresponding to the customer-specific purchaser terminal 910 or obtain a corresponding information from the delivery request device.

On the other hand, the delivery server 950 that processes delivery receipt of purchased items according to a request of the buyer can be implemented as a fixed type or a mobile type. In addition, the delivery server 950 may accept the delivery request directly from the buyer terminal 910 without going through the delivery request device. In this case, the delivery server 950 needs to confirm whether payment has been completed for the purchased purchase object from one of the payment terminal 920, the merchant server 930, and the relay server 940. In addition, since the delivery server 950 holds the identification information of the purchaser, the delivery server 950 may directly receive a payment approval from the financial server (not shown).

In the above description, the term 'delivery server 950' is used, and the delivery server 950 can be understood as a fixed device. However, the delivery server 950 here can process the delivery request generated at the merchant It is obvious that the present invention can be implemented by a mobile terminal.

FIG. 10 shows a procedure of processing a delivery service in an offline marketing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. 10 may be one of the payment terminal 920, the merchant server 930, and the relay server 940 shown in FIG.

10, in step 1010, the purchaser terminal 910 transmits the delivery information requesting the delivery service for the purchased item to the delivery request device. The delivery information includes information about at least one item purchased by the buyer, destination information for delivery or buyer identification information. The destination information may be information about a place previously set in the merchant, or may be an address of a purchaser who purchased the goods. It is preferable that only the buyer's phone number (e.g., home phone number or mobile phone number) is used as the buyer identification information. However, you can also use additional customer names.

When the purchaser identification information is used, the delivery request device or the delivery server 940 should additionally include a database for registering and managing destination information corresponding to the buyer identification information in advance.

The purchaser terminal 910 provides the delivery information to the delivery request device using short-range wireless communication (e.g., Bluetooth communication, NFC communication, etc.) at the time of requesting the delivery of the delivery. At this time, a telephone number or a customer name corresponding to the purchaser terminal 910 may also be transmitted.

Upon receiving the delivery information from the purchaser terminal 910, the delivery request apparatus requests delivery to the delivery server 950 based on the received delivery information in step 1020. [ At this time, when the received delivery information includes sufficient information for delivery reception, the delivery request apparatus can use the received delivery information as it is when requesting delivery to the delivery server 950. [ Otherwise, the delivery request device processes the received delivery information and delivers it to the delivery server 950.

For example, when the delivery information includes the buyer identification information, the delivery request device can provide the delivery destination information managed in correspondence with the buyer identification information to the delivery server 950. However, if destination information for each customer is managed by the delivery server 950, the delivery request device does not necessarily have to provide the destination information to the delivery server 950.

Further, it is preferable that the delivery acceptance request by the delivery request apparatus proceeds after completing settlement of the goods purchased by the buyer. Therefore, even if the delivery request device is requested to be delivered by the buyer terminal 910, it is necessary to check whether the payment processing device approves payment from the payment processing device if the payment processing device and the delivery request device do not match. In this case, when the delivery request device requests the delivery server 950 for delivery, the delivery request device may transmit information for confirming the payment approval to the delivery server 950 together with the delivery information.

Accordingly, a payment processing procedure by the payment processing apparatus may be performed between steps 1010 and 1020. [ For example, the payment procedure described above may be applied to the payment procedure proposed in the embodiment of the present invention. To this end, the purchaser terminal 910 may provide the payment processing apparatus with information necessary for settlement in step 1010, that is, shopping information. If the payment processing apparatus and the delivery request apparatus match, the purchaser terminal 910 can provide the shopping information and the delivery information to the same object, that is, the delivery request apparatus (payment processing apparatus).

If the delivery request device is the relay device 940, the delivery acceptance request by the relay device 940 is not directly provided to the delivery server 950 in step 1020, May be delivered to the delivery server 950. It is preferable that the delivery acceptance request is sent to the delivery server 950 via the merchant server 930 when the buyer terminal 910 provides the buyer identification information when the delivery acceptance request is made.

When the delivery server 950 receives a request for delivery receipt from the delivery request apparatus, the delivery server 950 processes the delivery receipt in step 1030. To this end, the delivery server 950 receives the information on the purchased item and the destination information or the buyer identification information from the delivery request device.

Since the delivery server 950 necessarily requires the destination information for the delivery acceptance process, when the buyer identification information is received from the delivery request apparatus, the delivery server 950 must confirm the destination information managed in response to the received buyer identification information .

When the delivery server 950 can not confirm the destination information of the buyer who requested the delivery, the delivery server 950 can notify the buyer terminal 910 that the delivery request has failed to be received. However, if the normal delivery receipt is completed, the delivery server 950 outputs the delivery receipt result. That is, the delivery server 950 outputs the purchase information of the successful delivery and the destination information to be delivered to the document or screen.

For example, when the delivery server 950 is stationary and fixed at a specific position, it outputs the purchase information and destination information to be delivered to the document through a printer. Alternatively, if the delivery server 950 can carry the portable terminal or can communicate with the portable terminal held by the employee even if it is portable, it can output the purchased information and the destination information to deliver the purchased article on the screen.

As described above, the information on the destination to be shipped to the purchaser and the purchaser is displayed so that the merchant staff can easily prepare the delivery of the ordered commodity.

On the other hand, when the reception of the delivery service requested by the buyer is successfully completed, the delivery server 950 transmits a delivery receipt completion report to the delivery request apparatus in step 1040. [ In addition, the delivery server 950 may report completion of delivery of the package directly to the purchaser terminal 910 (step 1050 ').

Upon receiving the delivery receipt completion report from the delivery server 950, the delivery request apparatus delivers the delivery receipt completion report to the buyer terminal 910 in step 1050.

On the other hand, although not shown in the figure, the delivery server 950 confirms whether the preparation for the delivery of the purchased item is completed through continuous monitoring of the items received and processed. For example, the fixed-type delivery server 950 can check whether the product order number and the shipping preparation completion key are input to complete the shipping preparation. The mobile delivery server 950 can check whether the shipping preparation key is input and confirm that the shipping preparation is complete.

The delivery server 950 performs a delivery procedure based on destination information in step 1060 when the preparation for delivery is completed. For example, upon completion of the preparation of the delivery, the delivery server 950 outputs the document to be attached to a package or the like of the article to be delivered. At this time, destination information and information on a purchased item may be printed on the output document. If the destination information is a preset location in the merchant, the telephone number of the buyer, the name of the buyer, and the like are output together.

In addition, if the destination information is a customer address, the delivery server 950 may provide a product delivery scheduled time or the like to the purchaser in the form of a text message.

FIG. 11 shows an example of a block configuration of a buyer terminal for a delivery service according to an embodiment of the present invention. 11, the purchaser terminal includes a control unit 1110, a user interface unit 1120, a memory 1130, and a communication unit 1140.

Referring to FIG. 11, the user interface unit 1120 includes numeric keys, various function keys, and the like as input means, and an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) as an output means. The user interface unit 1120 may be implemented as a touch screen system in which the input means and the output means are integrated. The user interface unit 1120 transmits a key input signal corresponding to a key input by a purchaser's operation to the control unit 1110 or displays various display data.

In particular, the user interface unit 1120 inputs information required to use the delivery service or displays the progress of the requested delivery service under the control of the control unit 1110. [ For example, the information input through the user interface unit 1120 for the delivery service may be the destination information, the destination address, or the buyer identification information. Information about the purchased item may also be input through the user interface unit 1120. For this, the user interface unit 1120 may further include an image photographing unit such as a camera.

The controller 1110 controls the overall operation for using the delivery service. That is, the control unit 1110 configures the delivery information and transmits the configured delivery information to the delivery request apparatus through the communication unit 1140, thereby requesting delivery acceptance. Here, the delivery information includes information on a purchased item and buyer identification information for obtaining destination information or destination information.

The control unit 110 collects information through the user interface unit 1120 or uses information stored in the memory 1130 to configure the delivery information. In addition, the control unit 110 collects information through the communication unit 1140 to configure the delivery information.

The memory 1130 stores various information necessary for the controller 1110 to use the delivery service. In particular, the memory 1130 may store an application or a general purpose application for supporting a delivery service. In addition, the memory 1130 stores information on at least one payment means used for payment purposes and customer identification information. The card information and the customer identification information may be stored in a separate USIM chip.

The communication unit 1140 can transmit or receive information by various communication methods in addition to the near field wireless communication.

Referring to FIG. 13, the order receiving unit 1310 accepts a delivery request by receiving shopping information, that is, information on an article to be delivered and destination information or buyer identification information from the delivery request apparatus. The order reception unit 1310 provides the shopping information, the destination information or the buyer identification information received to the order processing unit 1320 in order to receive the delivery request.

The order processing unit 1320 performs an overall operation for processing an order request received from the order requesting apparatus. In particular, the order processing unit 1310 receives the corresponding shipping order based on the shopping information, the destination information, or the buyer identification information provided from the order receiving unit 1310, and provides the processing result to the processing result reporting unit 1330 .

More specifically, when the shopping information and the destination information are transmitted, the order processing unit 1320 controls the output unit 1340 to output the shopping information so that the shipping staff can prepare the received article. Then, the order processing unit 1320 checks whether or not the preparation of an item corresponding to shopper-specific shopping information is completed. At this time, the order processing unit 1320 can check whether the product order number and the shipping preparation completion key are input or check whether the shipping preparation completion key is input, and confirm whether or not the shipping preparation is completed. To this end, the delivery server may further include a user interface (not shown).

The order processing unit 1320 instructs the delivery of the prepared delivery article when the preparation of the delivery is completed. For example, when the order processing unit 1320 confirms the completion of shipping, the control unit 1340 controls the output unit 1340 to print the buyer address information when the destination information is the buyer address. The printed document is attached to a packaging box of the article ready for delivery. However, if the destination information is a preset location in the merchant, the order processing unit 1320 controls the control unit 1340 to print the identification number (telephone number) of the purchaser terminal, the name of the shopper, and the like. The printed document is attached to a packaging box of the article ready for delivery.

If the destination information is a preset location in the merchant, the order report unit 1330 sends a guide message to the buyer terminal to inform the buyer when the shipping preparation is completed. In this case, the destination information or the shopping information preferably includes identification information of the purchaser terminal, for example, a telephone number. In addition, the processing result report unit 1330 transmits the estimated delivery time or the like to the buyer terminal in the form of a text message when the destination information is the customer address.
