The meaning of 'A and / or B' described in this specification can be interpreted to be the same as 'at least one of A or B'.

How to Perform a Pre-Bar Hour Service

Next, a method of performing the free bar service will be described in detail.

The method of performing the freebar service proposed in the present specification can be roughly divided into (1) a space reservation / payment method, (2) a space utilization method, and (3) a space exit method.

A method of 'co-payment (or partial payment)' of the space use charge in the space reservation / payment method will also be described.

The payment method (or function) together means a method of paying a space charge for each user who uses the space when a plurality of users use one space (i.e., a Dutch Pay method). This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4, which will be described later.

First, let's look at space reservation / payment method.

(1) Space utilization / payment method

The user can basically use the predefined service defined above by using the application of the portable terminal (or the user terminal) or the Web of the PC.

Hereinafter, a case where a user accesses a free bar service (or uses a free bar service) using a portable terminal (e.g., a smart phone) will be described as an example.

4 is a flowchart showing an example of a space utilization and settlement method proposed in the present specification.

The user registers the membership of the free bar service through the free bar service application of the user terminal and registers the payment payment method (to be used when using the free bar service) (S410).

Examples of the payment means include a credit card and the like. For convenience of explanation, the payment means is exemplified by a credit card.

Let's look more closely at membership and credit card registration procedures.

First, the user terminal receives information related to subscription to the free bar service and credit card registration from the user (S411).

The user terminal transmits the subscription and credit card registration information received by the user to the freebar server (S412).

The freebar server performs an authentication procedure for the PG company server and the credit card company server and the credit card (S413).

The credit card authentication process includes a step in which the freebar server transmits a card authentication request to the PG company server, and the free bar server receives a response to the card authentication request from the PG company server.

The credit card registration process may be performed at the same time as the membership registration for the free bar service or when the membership registration is completed and the space reservation is performed.

Thereafter, when the user terminal senses that a pre-bar (service) application (App.) Is activated or turned on (S420) through user entry and / or user input after the credit card registration process, The current position is searched (or measured, S430) by using the GPS, the base station, and the like.

Thereafter, the user terminal may display the free-bar service spaces within a specific range at the searched current location through the output unit.

Here, the user terminal can distinguish the spaces within the specific range from the reservable space and the non-reservationable space.

Alternatively, the user terminal can distinguish and display the spaces within the specific range according to attributes or usage types.

When the user receives an input of a space selection time such as a space reservation time or a reservation place by the user at step S440, the user terminal performs settlement of the use fee of the selected space using the previously registered credit card at step S450. .

If the payment for the space is completed, the user terminal receives a space password for using the space from the free bar server before a predetermined time starting from the free space hour (S460).

The space password may be received in the form of Short Message Service (SMS), and the predetermined time may be seconds, minutes, or time units, for example, five minutes.

Accordingly, the user can use the space reserved in advance through the user terminal using the received space password.

Hereinafter, a method of 'settlement (or partial settlement)' in which the space usage cost is paid for each user who uses the space through the application of the user terminal will be described.

(1-1) How to make a payment (or partial payment) like

5 is a flowchart showing an example of a settlement method as proposed in the present specification.

The 'same payment (or partial payment)' method allows the user 1 to add the user (s) who use the space together through the free bar application, And the payment of the space utilization fee is performed for each user.

Referring to FIG. 5, the user terminal 1 transmits a friend request message for inducing a free-bar service subscription of the user (s) 'performing settlement' to the free bar server (S510).

Thereafter, the pre-bazaar server transmits a message to the user (s) performing the payment, informing that there is a friend registration request (S520).

Then, the user terminal (s) having received the friend registration request message performs a membership registration and card registration procedure with the freebar server (S530).

If the user terminal (s) having received the friend registration request message have registered the free bar service, the step S530 may be omitted.

As we have seen, the credit card registration procedure of the user (s) can be performed through a card authentication procedure between the user terminal, the freebar server, the PG company server and the (credit) card issuer server.

Thereafter, when the membership registration and the credit card registration process for the requested user (s) are completed, the freebar server can transmit a message informing that the friend registration requested by the user terminal 1 is completed.

Thereafter, the user terminal 1 (or another user terminal that is a member) transmits a settlement request message to the free time server in step S540.

Then, the pre-bazaar server transmits the approval of 'settlement' to the user terminals (user terminal 1 and user terminal 2) to be 'settled together' (S550).

If all the user terminals approve the payment approval request (S560), the freebar server distributes payment for the space charge to each user through communication with the PG company server (S570).

If some user terminals do not approve the 'same payment' approval request, payment of the space use payment may be performed only among the authorized users.

(2) How to use space

Next, a method of using the reserved space through the free bar service service application within the space utilization time will be described.

The user can order the items to be used in the space in advance through the free bar application before using the reserved space.

That is, the user checks what items are stored in the space through the free bar application, and if the necessary articles are not provided in the space, the user uses the free bar application to order the necessary articles before the space use .

In this case, the user can perform settlement of the ordered goods through the registered credit card at the time of joining the member.

In addition, when a user uses an item (or a service) provided in the corresponding space, the user can easily and conveniently perform settlement of the item through NFC, RFID, Wi-Fi, or the like.

In this case, the user terminal and the commodities should each have a communication module used for settlement.

For example, when an article is settled using an NFC tag, the user terminal and the article include a communication module such as an NFC chip.

In addition, when the article is out of the space to prevent the article from being stolen in the user's use space, the article or the specific server in the space may be used for aftara notifying that the article has been stolen The notification message may also be transmitted.

(3) How to leave the room

Next, the procedures related to the termination of use of the space after the use of space will be described.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of a space leaving method proposed in the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 6, in step S610, the free time server transmits a space use termination message to the user terminal of the user who is using the specific space, indicating that the use of the space is completed shortly before a predetermined period of time.

Here, the space utilization termination time may be 20 minutes after the end of the space utilization, and the space utilization termination message may be provided to the user terminal in the form of SMS.

If there is no reservation by another user for the space, the user using the space can extend the space utilization time through the free bar service application of the user terminal.

If the space usage time is extended, the password of the space is maintained until the extended time, and the free time server informs the cleaning administrator terminal that the space has been extended and instructs the password change to be adjusted for the extended time.

Here, the expense discount may be applied to the extension cost of the space in consideration of the time and place of using the space, the usage history of the user, and the like.

If there is no extension for the space, the password of the space is changed after a predetermined time for the next user.

Specifically, the freebar server transmits the current password of the corresponding space and the password to be changed to the cleaning management terminal (S620).

The current password and the changed password may be transmitted to the cleaning management terminal through SMS, but may be transmitted in various forms.

The free bar server may transmit information related to the corresponding space such as the location information of the corresponding space to the cleaning manager terminal together with the current password and the password to be changed (S620).

After that, the cleaning manager sets the password to be changed (received from the free bar server) in the corresponding space after completion of the cleaning of the space.

That is, the cleaning manager opens the corresponding space with the current password received from the free-agent server through the cleaning management terminal and cleans the space. When the cleaning is completed, the changed password is newly set in the corresponding space.

When the password is changed or newly set in the space, a password change message indicating that the password is newly set or changed in the space may be transmitted to the freebar server.

Here, the subject for transmitting the password change message is an object to which a password is set.

The object (door or the like) to which the password is set may include a wireless communication module for transmitting and receiving a message.

If the wireless communication module is not provided, the cleaning manager terminal may directly notify the free bar server that the change of the password of the corresponding space is completed or the setting of the new password is completed.

In this case, the cleaning manager can perform this directly on the manager screen of the free manager service application of the cleaning manager terminal.

When the wireless communication module is installed in the space where the password of the space is installed, the free bar server can directly transmit the password to be changed to the password installation part of the corresponding space without transmitting the password changed to the cleaning manager terminal.

In this case, the portion (door or the like) provided with the wireless communication module can automatically set the received changed password in the corresponding space immediately or after a predetermined time.

Here, after the predetermined time, it may be 30 minutes after the end of the space utilization.

Next, in step S630, the freebar server transmits the password set at the deadline of the corresponding use space to the space providing terminal.

Here, the reason why only the currently set password is transmitted is because the freebar server does not need to change the password of the space when the use of the space is last.

How user terminal works

Hereinafter, a method of operating a user terminal for performing a freebar service proposed in the present specification will be briefly described.

The space rental server represents the free-bar-hour server, the space rental service represents the free-bar service, and the space rental system represents the free-bar-hour system.

First, the user terminal detects that a space rental service related program (free bar service program) is activated by a certain condition. The predetermined condition may be user input or the like.

The user terminal then searches for the current location and outputs one or more spaces within a certain range from the searched location.

The one or more spaces may be separately classified according to availability of reservation and / or space usage.

Thereafter, if the reserved space is reserved for any one of the output spaces, the user terminal uses the pre-registered credit card to pay for the reserved space.

Thereafter, the user terminal receives the space utilization information related to the utilization of the reserved space from the space rental server when the payment for the utilization fee of the reserved space is completed.

In addition, the user terminal may receive a space utilization termination notification message from the space rental server, which informs the user that space utilization is terminated shortly before the space utilization termination time.

Also, the user terminal transmits a request message to the space rental server to request the subscription to the space renting service of at least one other user to pay for the reserved space.

Thereafter, the user terminal receives from the space rental server a subscription for the space rental service of the at least one other user and a notification message indicating that the credit card registration procedure is completed.

Thereafter, the user terminal transmits a payment request message for requesting the payment to the space rental server together with a payment approval response message indicating payment approval for the payment approval request to the space rental server.

Each of the settlement methods performed in the merchandise sales system proposed herein may be implemented in a form of a program that can be executed through various computer means and recorded in a computer readable medium. The computer-readable medium may include program instructions, data files, data structures, and the like, alone or in combination. The program recorded on the medium may be those specially designed and constructed for the present invention or may be those known to those skilled in the computer software.
