Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The configurations shown in the embodiments and drawings described in this specification are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical spirit of the present invention, and various equivalents that can replace them at the time of this application It should be understood that there may be and variations.

1 is a block diagram showing an order system using a smart phone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the order system using a smart phone according to an embodiment of the present invention is a smart phone 10, a force system 40, an order management unit 50, a menu DB 20, a service server 30 ) And payment server 70 and SMS server 80.

In this embodiment, a state in which an order system using a smart phone according to the present invention is applied to a rest area of a highway and operated will be described as an example. It is preferable that the smartphone 10 not only be able to access the wireless Internet by 3G or WIFI, but also download and install an application that can be provided with a service by accessing the ordering system according to the present invention, and an application for payment is also installed. .

The POS system 40 not only performs order and payment and order management at the store, but also performs comprehensive management of distribution, such as intensively managing sales information by immediately recording information on products sold at the store at the point of sale. . The order management unit 50 transmits the order history to the printer (not shown) or monitor (not shown) of the kitchen when an order and payment are made according to the order management in the POS system 40 and outputs the order number.

At this time, the order number may be printed by the order management unit 50 together with the receipt, and when ordering through the smartphone 10, the order status plate (not shown), etc., can be checked to arrive at the store and check whether their order has been successfully performed. It may be displayed, or when the food ordered in the kitchen is completed, it may be displayed on the electronic display board 60 to release the orderer and released.

The menu DB 20 stores menu information for menus provided for each highway rest area or for each restaurant. The menu information may include origin, calories, and price of each material according to a restaurant-specific menu, additional information about food, and a well-being food introduction and recommendation menu. When the smart phone 10 is accessed, the service server 30 fetches and provides menu information provided in the store from the menu DB 20, and when an order is entered, the service is based on the location information of the smart phone 10. In conjunction with the system 40, it performs orders and payments, receives an order number from the POS system 40, and transmits it to the smartphone 10.

When the service server 30 performs payment according to the order, it receives location information of the smartphone 10, determines whether an order is available, and performs payment. In other words, because the highway rest area cannot move freely due to the closedness of the highway, if you order food from an upstairs to a rest stop restaurant or order food from a past stop restaurant, you cannot receive food, so you can order from within the rest area or within the store. If you place an order in a region that can arrive within the set time in the future, the order will be normally entered and settled.

The payment server 70 supports the service server 30 to perform payment through the smartphone 10. In addition, the SMS server 80 receives the order number and payment information from the service server 30 and transmits a text message to the smartphone 10.

Therefore, the user of the smartphone 10 downloads and installs a program for using the ordering system at the rest area, accesses the service server 30, enters an order according to the menu information provided, and when payment is made, orders at the store counter. As the order number is given and the order history is transmitted to the kitchen, it is not necessary to line up at the counter at the rest stop to place an order, and food can be ordered and delivered immediately before arrival at the rest stop.

2 is a flowchart for explaining an ordering method using a smart phone according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the ordering method using a smartphone according to an embodiment of the present invention is described as an example of a state in which an ordering system using a smartphone is applied to a resting place on a highway, and first, the smartphone 10 In order to download it, you have to download and install the program to use it.

When accessing the service server 30 by executing the order program of the highway rest area downloaded from the smartphone 10 (S10), the service server 30 provides store information of the highway rest area when the smartphone 10 is connected, As the user who receives the store information searches the store information, menu information provided in the store is provided (S20).

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, these are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible therefrom. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
