When the n interworking entities are identified, the interworking interconnection point calculating section 150 calculates n interworking earning points to be accumulated in each of the n interworking entities to be checked.

The interlocking earning point is a point accumulated in at least one relationship forming member associated with the self-accumulating customer in cooperation with the procedure of accumulating the self-accumulating points according to the purchase to the self-accumulating customer. The self-accumulation point is a purchasing point where a point value according to purchase is accumulated. On the other hand, the inter-connection accumulation point is a non-purchasing point accumulated based on the fact that a relationship with the self-accumulation customer is formed regardless of the purchase of the member have. Thus, the self-accumulation point may include all attributes that a normal purchasing point may have. Meanwhile, the interlocking earning point is a non-sale point that is linked to the self-earning point, and inherits the attribute of the self-earning point, or a part of the inherited attribute is replaced with another attribute, Can be given. For example, at least one of the effective period, the point value, and the discount rate of the corresponding point may be varied. The characteristics of such an interlocking earning point can be set through the terms.

According to the first interworking accumulated point calculating method of the present invention, the interworking interworking ear calculating unit 150 calculates a total interworking accumulated point to be accumulated in at least one interworking accumulated object in conjunction with the magnetic earning point, The total number of linked points can be calculated by dividing the total number of linked points by n.

Here, the designated maximum value, which is compared with the cumulative linked earning earning point, is set by an interlocking earning point operating policy of the point operating system 100, and the interlocking earning point is issued by the accumulated earning earning point Is set to a value that does not cause an excessive provisioning liability to the store or point operator.

If the value of the cumulative accumulated point is greater than the specified maximum value, the linked-point accumulation point management unit 160 manages the value of the cumulative accumulated point so that it does not exceed the specified maximum value.

According to the method of the present invention, the effective duration of the linked points may be variable. That is, the self-accumulation point is set to a certain expiration period, whereby the self-accumulation point that is not used during the expiration period exists as a provision of the point operator. On the other hand, the validity period of the interlocking earning point may be varied so that the value of the interlocking earning point accumulatively accumulated in the specific member does not exceed the specified maximum value. For example, if the validity period of the self-accumulation point is set to one year, the inter-connection accumulation point may vary to one year, six months, one month, and the like. In addition, the validity period of the interlocking earning point can be varied for each member even if the same kind of point is used.

Alternatively, the interworking earning point may have a variable point value. That is, the self-accumulation point has a certain value, and the point value corresponds to the provisional debt. On the other hand, the value of the interlocking earning point may be varied so that the value of the interlocking earning point cumulatively accumulated in the specific member does not exceed the specified maximum value. For example, if the point value of the self-accumulation point is designated as a value of 1 won per point, the linked accumulation point can be varied to 1 won, 0.5 won, 0.1 won, etc. per one point. In addition, the value of the interlocking earning point can be varied for each member even if the same kind of point is used.

Alternatively, the discount rate may be variable. That is, when the self-accumulation point is converted to a cash value or converted to another form (for example, a discount coupon, a gift certificate, a gift certificate, etc.), the self-accumulation point is discounted according to a predetermined discount rate. On the other hand, the discount rate of the interlocking earning point may be varied so that the value of the interlocking earning point accumulatively accumulated in the specific member does not exceed the specified maximum value. For example, if the discount rate of the point value of the self-accumulation point is designated as 90%, the discount rate of the linked accumulation point may be changed to 90%, 60%, 50%, and the like. Furthermore, the discount rate of the interlocking earning point can be varied for each member even if the same kind of points are converted into the same form.

According to the first interworking accumulated point management method of the present invention, the interworking accumulated point management unit 160 may delete the interworking accumulated points exceeding the designated maximum value by varying the valid period of the accumulated interworking accumulated points .

According to the second interlocking point management method of the present invention, the interworking integration point management unit 160 may change the point value of the accumulated interworking accumulated points so that the accumulated interworking accumulated points do not exceed the specified maximum value Can be managed.

According to the third linked accumulated point management method of the present invention, the interlocking accumulated point management unit 160 may change the discount rate of the accumulated interworking accumulated points so that the accumulated interworking accumulated points do not exceed the specified maximum value can do.
