Accordingly, the user can obtain the coupon benefit obtained when reserving the hotel and the status of the remaining coupon by viewing the business information page as shown in FIG. Further, the user can select one of the accommodation business lists a62-1, a62-2, a62-3 from the business information page on which the coupon information is displayed, and proceed with the reservation for the selected accommodation business. For example, a user can request accommodation reservation by selecting a substitute hotel, and when the accommodation reservation is completed, the coupon issued to the lodging facility may be deducted. However, if the coupon is exhausted to the selected accommodation, the general reservation can be made without using the coupon.

FIG. 7 illustrates that a filtering function is applied to a business information page provided to a user terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Next, the accommodation reservation unit 150 receives the accommodation reservation request from the user terminal 300 and concludes the accommodation reservation. At this time, the accommodation reservation request from the user terminal 300 may be to request a reservation by selecting a lodging establishment from the business information page including the coupon information described above. Accordingly, the selected lodging company is the accommodation where the coupon advertisement of the present invention is issued, and the accommodation reservation conclusion part can conclude the accommodation reservation by applying the coupon at the reservation concluding.

At this time, the amount paid by the user is an amount obtained by applying the discount by the coupon of the present invention to the reservation price of the original lodging establishment. In addition, the reservation fee according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a predetermined ratio of the reservation price of the original accommodation, regardless of the applied coupon amount. That is, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the reservation fee is an amount obtained by multiplying the reservation price of the hotel by a certain ratio, and when the coupon discount is applied and the reservation fee is not applied when the coupon discount is applied, It is possible to prevent the service from being damaged.

If the coupon is exhausted after the settlement of the amount of money by the amount settlement unit 160, the server 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention transmits a coupon to the lodging terminal 200 And a coupon can be additionally generated according to a response from the lodging terminal 200 by sending a message asking whether to purchase the coupon.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an amount of money settled in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 8 (a) shows a method for calculating a settlement amount in the case where there is no coupon issue of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 8, the reservation price of the lodging establishment may be 100,000. In addition, if the reservation fee is assumed to be 10%, the reservation fee is 10,000 won. When the user concludes a lodging reservation, the user pays 100,000 of the reservation price. The amount of 90,000 won, minus the booking fee of 10,000 won, will be settled to the property.

In the case where coupon issuance exists, as described above, the user can receive a discount on the settlement amount as much as the discount amount of the coupon attribute at the time of booking the accommodation. More specifically, if the coupon is a discount coupon of "10,000 won discount," the user pays 9,000 won. In addition, as described above, the reservation fee of the lodging establishment may be 1,000 won regardless of the user's payment amount. Therefore, the settlement amount to be paid to the lodging establishment may be 80,000 won.

In the case described above, the user can reserve the accommodation at a price of KRW90,000, which is 10,000 won discounted from the list price. In the case of the service provider, the fee and the reservation fee before the coupon are equal to KRW10,000 I do not see any harm. In the case of a lodging establishment, the settlement amount was reduced by 10,000 won to 80,000 than when the coupon was not issued. However, it is also possible to expose the lodging company to the business information page showing only the coupon issuing businesses, It is possible to increase the reservation rate by providing the incentive for the user to reserve the accommodation by paying the coupon. That is, in the case of the reservation agency service, it is possible to keep the existing reservation fee as it is, while allowing the hotel to bear the discounted amount of the coupon. Also, from the standpoint of a lodging establishment, rather than lowering the list price to compete with the price, a special discount coupon may be purchased and paid to the customer, and the advertising effect of the lodging establishment may be expected.

On the other hand, as described above, when the coupon issuing unit 130 issues a coupon, the service server 100 can set the coupon issuing fee to the coupon face amount. For example, when issuing coupons of 10,000 won as described above, a 10% sales commission per coupon may be charged to the lodging company. This allows the booking agency to maintain the existing booking fee and obtain additional revenue from the coupon issuing fee. That is, referring to FIG. 8 (b), an additional coupon fee of 1,000 won can be obtained in addition to the reservation fee of 10,000.
