Description

Apparatus for Providing Service and Driving Method Thereof}

The present disclosure relates to a service providing device and a method of driving the device, and more particularly, to a service providing device and a method of driving the device, which facilitates payment for a menu order.

Recently, as the Fin-Tech or Techpin industry has been activated, interest in simple payments has emerged. This simple payment is rapidly rising with the introduction of mobile devices such as smartphones. In addition, simple payments have also benefited from disarmament of legal regulations that enable small payments in an unsigned form. This payment method starts with the purpose of providing convenience to a single user.

However, the recent simple payment method, on the other hand, combines with the Dutch pay culture that it calculates what it eats, while also increasing the fatigue of payment for businessmen such as running a restaurant.

In other words, in recent years, the manager, the owner, standing in front of the counter, has to trouble the payment of each individual customer who wants to pay for each one, and there is also inconvenience in that the customers also have to wait in long lines for payment.

In addition, in the case of the terminal placed at the checkout counter, there is an interface in which the administrator has to continuously press a button for the divided payment of users, and thus the fatigue of the administrator may increase, and deterioration or malfunction of the display unit may occur due to frequent touches. .

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing a payment system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

1, the payment system 90 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a management terminal 100 and at least one payment terminal 100.

Here, the management terminal 100 may correspond to a main payment terminal managed by a manager, that is, a manager, in a designated space of a store such as a restaurant or a coffee shop. Here, the "main payment" is named in that payment is possible and the payment of the payment terminals 110 of the entire restaurant is managed. The management terminal 100 may manage payment terminals 110 that may be installed for each specific table (or place) of a restaurant, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example, when a customer places an order, the management terminal 100 enters information about the corresponding order by a touch screen method on the display unit of the management terminal 100, and when the input is completed, the payment terminal receives the input information ( 110). At this time, the information about the order may be the total amount information and the details of each ordered item matching the information. For example, items such as kimchi jjigae 5,000 won, miso jjigae 5,000 won and the total amount of information corresponding to the total sum of 10,000 won may be transmitted. Of course, the total and total amount information on the amount of each item may be generated by the payment terminal 110.

If, on the contrary, the order comes from the payment terminal 110, the management terminal 100 stores the details for each item, and may display at least one of a number and an alias of the corresponding table on the screen. Here, the alias may include a name input by the administrator separately. The method for the management terminal 100 to manage the customer's order history on the screen may be various, so it will not be specifically limited to the above. For example, only the icon corresponding to the table number may be displayed on the screen, and when the icon is selected, the amount of each item may be displayed in a list form.

Furthermore, the management terminal 100 receives payment history information for payment made in the payment terminal 110, and when payment is normally completed, receives completion information (or approval information) indicating that the payment is normally completed from the payment terminal 110 can do. There are also various ways in which the management terminal 100 receives information from the payment terminal 110. For example, payment history information may be received together with the completion information only when the payment is normally completed. For example, if a customer named A pays with a credit card for a kimchi jjigae, and a customer named B with a miso soup, credit card information or payment information by NFC is transmitted together. If the customer C requests to pay cash for some residual amounts, the manager managing the management terminal 100 may receive cash from the customer C. In this payment process, customers at a specific table can use the payment terminal 110 for payment when a meal is completed. At this time, if a lump sum payment or a partial payment can be selected, the management terminal 100 makes payment through this. It will be possible to know the payment status of the terminal 110. In addition, the above payment method will not be impossible by confirming that a customer at a specific table also leaves the corresponding space through monitoring by, for example, CCTV.

Management for payment is made by a certain protocol (or standard) between the management terminal 100 and the payment terminal 110, and may vary greatly depending on whether the system designer is designing (or designated by an administrator). In addition, as a protocol for communication between two terminals, a standard such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth (BT) may be used, but it is also possible to use any program developed by the developer, so any specific communication method can be used. It will not be limited to. Furthermore, such a program may be implemented in an on-demand (OEM) manner. In other words, the system administrator can set the desired program.

In addition, the management terminal 100 may additionally perform various functions. For example, if there is an affiliate with a credit card company, a payment agency, a bank, etc., it is possible to transmit detailed information excluding details such as cash payment to the server of the corresponding company. This will help in calculating payment fees. In addition, historical information, including details such as cash settlement, may be transmitted to tax-related companies or organizations such as the IRS, tax offices, and accounting offices. This process can be transmitted at the request of the administrator, but if the administrator wants to save on a separate storage medium such as USB, it will be able to output it to the storage medium.

When the management terminal 100 and payment terminals 110 are installed, the management terminal 100 may perform an operation of recognizing (or searching) payment terminals 110 within a specific range. And identification information (ex. device ID) is registered with each other. For example, when the identification information of the plurality of payment terminals 110 is searched, the administrator may select and register only the payment terminals 110 corresponding to his space. In this regard, Bluetooth may be more suitable than Wi-Fi, which has a large communication radius.

The payment terminal 110 may be installed in a specific table unit within a designated space such as a restaurant. Of course, the payment terminal 110 is an auxiliary payment terminal of the main payment terminal, and is installed only in one specific space to allow customers to perform payments directly, but for convenience of the customer, it is preferable to be installed in each space where the meal is made . According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the payment terminal 110 may be installed on a table in a stand form, but it is also possible to install a display type so that only a display screen is exposed on the table.

Since the payment terminal 110 preferably includes a display unit, various conditions of the customer may be reflected. For example, when an employee of a restaurant receives an order, the order details are made in the management terminal 100, and total amount information or item-specific information about the order details is transmitted to the payment terminal 110 after the process of entering the order details. . Thereafter, the payment terminal 110 may display the total amount of information on the screen. Of course, if the food menu is added, the added item and amount information may be transmitted to the payment terminal 110 and added to the previously transmitted information.

Suppose that a customer places an order through the payment terminal 110. In this case, the customer can check the food menu displayed on the screen of the payment terminal 110, select the desired food, and select Done. Then, the order history of the corresponding table is transmitted to the management terminal 100. After transmission, the payment terminal 110 may display the amount information for each item and the total amount information summed up on the screen. If a menu is added, it is notified to the management terminal 100 and the user can add information about the added menu.

In addition, the payment terminal 110 may have various payment methods. For example, suppose that the payment terminal only handles total amount information. If the customer selects the icon corresponding to the total amount of money, the user may be asked whether the payment is lump sum or partial payment through the screen. At this time, if the user selects the lump sum payment and performs card payment through the card payment unit, in the case of an unsigned, related information may be transmitted to the management terminal 100 without a signature. If a signature is required, related information will be transmitted to the management terminal 100 after the signature. Based on this point, the payment terminal 110 may further include a signature unit. At this time, the fingerprint may be used as a signature. After entering the amount of money, fingerprint recognition becomes a payment method, but fingerprint payment is signed after card payment. The payment terminal 110 may determine such an operation. Of course, this process may be performed by comparing information stored in the internal memory with information that is input.

If the customer selects the partial payment, the payment terminal 110 may display the amount of money information on the screen in a manner that is subtracted from the total amount, and store the relevant details and transmit it to the management terminal 100. For example, if customer A enters 5,000 won (in the menu window) from the total amount of 10,000 won (or selects the item) and then pays, the amount of the remaining amount of 5,000 won is displayed on the screen, and customer B again If payment is made after entering 5,000 won, the amount of money after deduction becomes 0, so the payment terminal 110 determines that the payment is completed. And the payment history information is transmitted to the management terminal. Then, the manager of the management terminal 100 confirms that the payment at the corresponding table is completed, and if it is out of sight, it can monitor the CCTV and monitor the customer leaving the table to see the customer. Will be.

If, in the course of the objection, it is assumed that a cash payment is made. If the payment terminal 110 is provided with the cash payment unit, and after inputting the payment amount, and inputting the 10,000 won bill, the payment terminal 110 determines the 10,000 won bill through a recognition unit such as a scanner and changes the balance according to the entered payment amount Can be returned through the outlet. However, if such a cash payment unit is not provided, after notifying the management terminal 100 through the payment terminal 110 that the rest of the 5,000 won is cash payment, go to the management terminal 100 when leaving the restaurant and go to the manager You can pay cash. Alternatively, even if it is not necessary to make a payment by cash, if there are some outstanding amounts, the management terminal 100 checks the payment information received from the payment terminal 110 and indicates that there is an outstanding amount (in the icon on the screen). When you leave this restaurant, you will be able to check and settle it. If it is determined that the outstanding amount is too small or the payment balance is not in the food menu item, the payment terminal 110 (or in connection with the management terminal 100) may determine that it is a payment error and request the payment to the customer again. . Simply put, a message is displayed on the screen requesting repayment. This corresponds to a non-payment operation of the payment terminal 110.

Furthermore, even if the payment amount is not entered (via the menu window) as described above, the payment terminal 110 may select a specific item from the item-specific history information to perform payment. Therefore, it is possible to perform payment by each payment method. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, it will not be specifically limited to what type of payment is performed.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the management terminal illustrated in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a structure of the payment processing unit of FIG. 2.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the management terminal 100 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure includes a part or all of the interface unit 200 and the payment processing unit 210.

Here, including "some or all" means that some of the components are omitted to configure the terminal, or some of the components can be configured by being integrated into other components. It is explained as including.

The interface unit 200 is a connector for connecting to a wired or wireless communication interface unit, a credit card (ex. magnetic, IC chip, etc.) or NFC payment unit, a display unit, a biometric payment unit, and a terminal outputting a receipt ( ex. jack method), a touch screen type display unit for interface with a user, and a button unit such as an input button. The communication interface unit may transmit and receive various types of information, as previously mentioned. Of course, for some customers, the management terminal 100 may also perform payment. In this regard, the interface unit 200 of the management terminal 100 also needs to include various payment methods. In the case of a cash payment department, it may be optional. If there are government regulations to prevent tax evasion, it must be provided. In addition, since the interface unit 200 may be integrated with a receipt output unit, it will not be particularly limited to any one structure. The display unit includes a display panel such as an LED and an LCD panel, and may further include a touch panel integrally or coupled to the display panel. A touch screen-type touch may be possible through the touch panel. The display unit may display a graphic image (eg, an icon, etc.) for identifying each payment terminal 110 on the screen. Then, when the corresponding graphic image is selected, detailed information such as price information for each item may be displayed.

The payment processing unit 210 may perform various operations according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In other words, it is possible to perform various operations for performing the above-described sufficient payment function, including the control function of the interface unit 200. For example, when input is completed by entering a customer's order, the interface unit 200 stores the related order history information therein or transmits the order history information to each payment terminal 110 of FIG. 1, more precisely The communication interface can be controlled. Since the information processing has been sufficiently explained above, further explanation will be omitted.

In addition, since various operations performed in the management terminal 100 of FIG. 1 are performed by the payment processing unit 210, the above-described contents will be replaced.

However, in the case of the payment processing unit 210, both the control operation and the payment operation may be performed by one program, but may be divided into the processor 300 and the memory 310 as shown in FIG. 3. Here, the processor 300 includes a control circuit, an operation unit, and the like, and the memory 310 may be free to write and delete payment programs in the form of EEPROM. The processor 300 may execute a related program stored in the memory 310 to process payment information.

As shown in FIG. 4, the management terminal 100 ′ according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure includes a part of the interface unit 400, the control unit 410, the payment execution unit 420, and the storage unit 430 or All inclusive.

Here, "including some or all" is configured by omitting some components, such as the storage unit 430, or components, such as the payment execution unit 420, integrated into components such as the control unit 410 It means that it can be configured, etc., and is described as including everything in order to help the understanding of the invention.

When comparing the management terminal 100 ′ of FIG. 4 with the management terminal 100 of FIG. 2, it is not very different. However, the control unit 410 of FIG. 4 may have the same structure as in FIG. 3, in which case the control unit 410, that is, the processor 300 of FIG. 3, performs a payment execution unit 420 to increase the data processing speed. After the program stored in the management terminal 100' is initially loaded into the memory 310 of FIG. 3, the corresponding program may be executed for payment processing.

Further, the storage unit 430 may store various information processed by the management terminal 100'. For example, various payment history information made in a plurality of payment terminals 110 may be stored. Then, the stored information may be output to the interface unit, for example, the display unit, under the control of the control unit 410. For example, the manager may be able to check monthly or annual sales.

In addition, since the management terminal 100 ′ of FIG. 4 is not significantly different from the management terminal 100 of FIG. 1, the details will be replaced by the contents.

In addition, the interface unit 500 may process various order history information, payment history information, and the like performed between the management terminal 100. In other words, when order history information is received from the management terminal 100, the received information may be delivered to the payment processing unit 510 so that it is displayed on the display unit 520. If an order is placed on the display unit 520, the corresponding information may be transmitted to the management terminal 100 under the control of the payment processing unit 510.

In addition, since the interface unit 500 can process various information, the details will be replaced with the contents of the payment terminal 110 of FIG. 1.

Furthermore, the interface unit 500 may include various payment means (or devices) for performing payment for the total payment amount displayed on the display unit 520. As will be described in more detail later, payment methods may include a cash payment unit, a credit card payment unit, a biometric payment unit, an app card payment unit, an NFC payment unit, and the like. Here, the payment of the app card is a method of storing the card in the form of an app on a mobile device such as a smartphone, and then performing payment through a procedure such as login and identification. NFC payments include methods such as *Flepay, Old*Pay, etc.

The interface unit 500 may include a (cash) recognition unit, such as a scanner for recognizing a banknote, in the case of including a cash payment unit, and compare, for example, the singularity of a banknote, etc., by comparing with the banknote information stored in the memory You may be able to determine whether you have a counterfeit bill. If it is judged to be a counterfeit bill, various operations such as informing it to the management terminal 100 may be performed. For example, an automatic report may be made to the management authority through the management terminal 100. Since this process is determined by the design of the program, it will not be specifically limited how it is done.

The payment processing unit 510 may perform an overall control operation of the interface unit 500 and the display unit 520, and may also perform various operations for payment. For example, the payment processing unit 510 may display the order history information transmitted from the interface unit 500 on the display unit 520. At this time, the order history for each item may be stored in the memory, and only the total amount of information may be displayed on the display unit 520 in the form of an icon. For example, the payment processing unit 510 may display item-specific information on the screen of the display unit 520 when a request is made for a partial payment from a customer. Other details will be replaced with the contents of the payment terminal 110 of FIG. 1.

The display unit 520 may display various information on the screen under the control of the payment processing unit 510. The display unit 520 may be configured in the form of an (O) LED panel or an LCD panel and a touch panel coupled thereto. Accordingly, various information displayed on the screen may be processed using a touch screen method. Of course, since the touch screen method is described as an example, the method will not be particularly limited.

6 is a block diagram showing another detailed structure of the payment terminal of FIG. 1.

As illustrated in FIG. 6, the payment terminal 110 ′ according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure includes a communication interface unit 600, a payment processing unit 610, a cash payment unit 620, and a credit card payment unit 630. ), NFC payment unit 640, biometric payment unit 650, the app card payment unit 660, and some or all of the display unit 670, wherein "including some or all of" It has the same meaning.

Here, the cash payment unit 620 may include a cash input port, a scanner, a cash return port, a cash storage unit, etc. Since such a configuration is well known to those skilled in the art, further description is omitted. However, in the present disclosure, it is possible to use such a cash payment means as one means for the convenience of the customer in the case of a divided payment (mode) operation. In addition, it is possible to easily perform payment by cash in a seated position and conveniently perform payment, such as receiving a change of money through the payment terminal 110.

In addition, the biometric payment unit 650 may use fingerprints or the like for payment, and the singularity information of the fingerprint is compared with fingerprint information registered in a bank or a payment agency, etc., and authentication is completed. It can be done.

In addition, since the details related to the payment terminal 110' of FIG. 6 are not significantly different from the payment terminal 110 of FIGS. 1 and 5, the contents thereof will be replaced.

7 is a view showing a payment process according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 7, when an order is received from a customer at a restaurant, for example, the management terminal 100 receives the order details by the administrator, and then transmits the entered order details or total amount information to the payment terminal 110. (S700).

Then, the payment terminal 110 displays the payment information on the screen (S710). For example, in the received payment information, only the total payment amount information may be displayed on the screen as an icon, or the amount information for each item may be displayed in a list form, and when the icon representing the total payment amount is selected, the amount information for each item is displayed. Notes can display information in a variety of ways, such as those designed by system designers.

Subsequently, the payment terminal 110 may perform payment through an interface with a customer (S720). In the process of this, the customer may select a lump sum payment or a partial payment, and if the partial payment is selected, payment information may be processed in various forms as described above. This is especially true in performing cash payments.

When payment is completed, the payment terminal 110 transmits payment completion history information to the management terminal 100 (S730). When cash processing is possible at the payment terminal 110, the management terminal 100 may be notified that payment is completed. If the customer notifies the counter to pay in cash, he or she may pay the manager cash when leaving the restaurant. As such, cash payment can be made in various ways.

When payment history information is transmitted, the management terminal 100 may automatically output a receipt based on the corresponding history and store the received information (S750). Here, the receipt output will be an option because many customers do not want a receipt.

Meanwhile, when an order or payment is not made, the payment terminal 110 may display various advertisements on the screen when it is determined that there is no input by a user touch within a designated time. For example, information related to the ordered information may be displayed, or various information such as travel information or general product advertisements that are not related at all may be displayed.

8 is a view showing a payment process according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure.

8, the second embodiment of the present disclosure differs in that the management terminal 100 receives the order information from the payment terminal 110 and performs the operation (S800). Of course, it could also be done crossing each other. In other words, the additional order may be made in the management terminal 100 by the administrator.

The payment terminal 110 may assist the customer's payment by transmitting the order information to the management terminal 100 and displaying the related information on the screen (S810, S820).

Except for this, the process of FIG. 8 is not significantly different from the process of FIG. 7 and is replaced by the contents.

9 is a flowchart illustrating a process of driving the management terminal of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 9 together with FIG. 1 for convenience of explanation, the management terminal 100 of FIG. 1 transmits payment information to the nearby payment terminal 110 (S900). Alternatively, payment information or order information may be received from the payment terminal 110.

Subsequently, the management terminal 100 receives payment history information for payment made at the payment terminal 110 (S910). Such information may be a normally completed payment, or an incomplete payment by cash or the like. Here, "incomplete payment" refers to a case where an administrator who has the management terminal 100 can know this, although he or she has not notified or notified that it is a cash payment. In other words, there is no notification and there is an outstanding balance. In this case, the manager naturally knows that the balance will be paid in cash. Of course, such a balance would have to be within a range that can be calculated by the restaurant. When there is an incomplete payment, the management terminal 100 may separately indicate order information or payment information of the corresponding table. For example, change the color or shape of the icon.

Thereafter, the received payment history information may be processed in various ways by the management terminal 100 (S920). For example, it may be processed in various ways, such as being stored in a memory or transmitted to a payment agency.

10 is a flowchart illustrating a process of driving the payment terminal of FIG. 1.

For convenience of description, referring to FIG. 10 together with FIG. 1, the payment terminal 110 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may receive payment information from the management terminal 100 (S1000 ). Alternatively, the order information or payment information input by the user may be transmitted to the management terminal 100.

Subsequently, when the user requests payment, lump sum payment and partial payment may be selectively performed (S1010). Here, "optional" means that the user operates in a single payment mode when a lump sum payment is requested, and in a partial payment mode when a user requests a partial payment. Here, "mode (mode)" is a method set to perform a series of operations in sequence. For example, in the divided payment mode, an icon may be automatically switched from an icon representing total amount information to a screen showing details of each item. If the lump-sum payment mode, it can automatically switch to the screen for selecting the type of payment method.

When payment is completed, the payment terminal 110 may transmit payment history information to the management terminal 100 (S1020).

11 is a view for explaining an example of a payment process performed in the payment terminal of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 11 together with FIG. 1, the payment terminal 110 of FIG. 1 may display a screen such as FIG. 11 on the screen. Of course, it is possible to display in various forms, so it will not be particularly limited.

For example, the user selects the split payment button on the screen of FIG. 11 (S1100).

Then, he or she selects an item to pay (S1110).

Subsequently, after selecting cash as a payment method (S1120), the cash may be returned to the cash payment unit to return the change.

Of course, if you choose a card, you will be able to complete the payment by paying with a credit card (ex. magnetic or IC chip method).

If the payment completion button is selected or there is no item to be paid, the payment terminal 110 may determine the status of the payment and transmit the payment history information to the management terminal 100.

On the other hand, although not shown in a separate drawing, other payment terminals 110 and 110' may be installed in various types of designated spaces in an embodiment of the present disclosure.

First, it can be divided into a fixed type or a movable type according to a fixed type. In the case of the fixed type, it may include a form that can be fixed or purchased at a specific place, such as a dining table, for example, and a form in which payment terminals 110 and 110' rise and fall through a connection line connected to the ceiling. Here, the rising and falling can be divided into a manual type (in the form of hand-down and raising by the customer) and a remote control device such as a remote control. Also, in the case of the mobile type, it is a case where the customer places the table in the form of a stand. The stand-type payment terminals 110 and 110' may be divided into a folder type (ex. in the form of a laptop) or a flat type (ex. in the form of a tablet PC).

As described above, the arrangement form of the payment terminals 110 and 110' according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may vary, but it is clear that customers should be able to conveniently make payments without moving the location. Of course, the payment according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, that is, the payment using the payment terminals 110 and 110' is not limited to the partial payment, but in this case, it should be more useful.

12 is a view showing a payment system according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.

12, the payment system 1190 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure includes a user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2, a management terminal 1210, a communication network 1220, and a service providing device 1230 ).

Here, "including some or all" means that some components, such as a communication network 1220 and/or a service providing device 1230, may be omitted, and the system 1190 may be configured. It is explained as including everything in order to help you fully understand. For example, the management terminal 1210 may communicate with the neighboring user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 as an independent form to perform orders or payments in a specific space.

The user terminal 1 (1200-1) and the user terminal 2 (1200-2) include various devices that can be moved while being equipped by users. For example, if you can select a menu (ex. food menu, etc.) on the screen (albeit of course voice) and perform payment for the selected menu according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a mobile phone such as a smartphone, a tablet PC, a PDA, Any device such as MP3 can be used.

For convenience of description, taking the situation of a restaurant as an example, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the user terminal 1 1200-1 and the user terminal 2 1200-2 may operate in various situations. For example, in the first situation, the management terminal 1210 stores an application (hereinafter, an application) (or program) related to the restaurant menu, etc., and then the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 stores the restaurant. When entering (or did), it is the case that the users search for whether they have used the restaurant before. Of course, when entering, the management terminal 1201 may acquire user information of the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 through short-range wireless communication and search for use based on the acquired user information. The user information may be various information such as device information of the terminal.

As a result of the search, if it is determined that there has never been a visit, the management terminal 1210 may transmit the application to the user terminal 1 (1200-1) and the user terminal 2 (1200-2). Of course, in the course of this, the management terminal 1210 requests that the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 confirm this, since the application may be deleted even if the user has used it. You may be able to send the app. All of these processes may be performed under the approval of users, but even without approval, they may be performed in the form of a push message, so the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be specifically limited to any one method.

In addition, if the user has used the restaurant before, the user's terminal will store the application, and in this case, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 may include (the AP or management terminal 12010 of the entering restaurant). Based on this information, the application may be automatically activated and displayed on the screen. Of course, it is possible to activate the user by touching the corresponding application.

On the other hand, as the second situation, if the management terminal 1210 does not manage these applications, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 provide related applications from the service providing device 1230 via the communication network 1220. Will be able to receive The service providing device 1230 may store and manage applications for all restaurants that are scattered all over the place. Accordingly, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 may provide the relevant application by providing identification information of the corresponding restaurant, for example, the device information of the management terminal 1210 to the service providing device 1230. Of course, in the case of using an AP capable of short-range communication in a corresponding restaurant, it may be possible to receive an application by transmitting device information or the like, so the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be limited to any one method.

Under these various situations, the user terminal (1200-1, 1200-2) provided with the application can execute the application to order the space in which they are currently located, such as a restaurant menu, and make payments through their terminal. have. These payments can of course be made with pre-payment at the time of ordering the menu, but can be made with any post-payment after the meal is finished. In other words, when ordering a menu, the corresponding order history may remain in the application's My Page item, so you can view and select it again to proceed with payment. Therefore, it will not be a big problem whether you settle the payment in advance or post-payment. However, such order or payment information will be transmitted to the management terminal 1210 and managed. For example, users may enter an order from any place (ex. dining table) in the management terminal 1210 by inputting a number (or a marker for identifying their seat) together on the table of the restaurant through the application. Make sure that you are there. Then, the management terminal 1210 will classify (or manage) the order history based on the corresponding number and record or display it in one of the items (ex. icon) displayed on the screen of the management terminal 1210.

The management terminal 1210 manages all orders and payment information made in a specific space, as described above. Of course, this will be information provided through the application of the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the management terminal 1201 displays identification information (ex. number, or name, etc.) of a place (ex. table) on the screen in the form of a button or icon, through this, to effectively manage it You will be able to manage the order and payment status at each location.

As mentioned above, when operating in the form of a stand-alone, the management terminal 1210 stores applications individually produced for each restaurant, and then user terminals 1200-1, 1200 of users newly visiting the stored applications. -2). Since this has been sufficiently described above, further explanation is omitted. In addition, when the management terminal 1210 provides an application to the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 in connection with the service providing device 1230, it may be involved. Here, the term "engagement" means that the management terminal 1210 obtains user information (ex. device ID, etc.) of the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, and provides it to the service providing device 1230 together with its own information. It is to transmit and provide an application based on the transmitted user information. In other words, it serves as a relay device.

However, the management terminal 1210 transmits user information of the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 together with its own information, but the corresponding application is a different path, that is, a repeater in the communication network 1220, for example, an AP in a restaurant. However, if an AP is not used, it may be provided through a base station or a NodeB of a carrier, so the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be limited to any one method.

The communication network 1220 includes both wired and wireless communication networks. Here, the wired network includes an Internet network such as a cable network or a public telephone network (PSTN), and the wireless communication network includes CDMA, WCDMA, GSM, Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and WiBro network. to be. Of course, the communication network 120 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and may be used as, for example, a cloud computing network under a cloud computing environment as an access network of a next-generation mobile communication system to be implemented in the future. For example, when the communication network 1220 is a wired communication network, an access point in the communication network 1220 can access a telephone exchange or the like, but in the case of a wireless communication network, data can be accessed by accessing a SGSN or a Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) operated by a communication company. The data can be processed by accessing various repeaters such as BTS (Base Station Transmission), NodeB, and e-NodeB.

Communication network 1220 may include an access point. Access points include small base stations, such as femto or pico base stations, which are often installed in buildings. Here, the femto or pico base station is classified according to how many user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 and/or the management terminal 1210 can be accessed according to the classification of the small base station. Of course, the access point may include a short-range communication module for performing short-range communication such as ZigBee and Wi-Fi with the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 and/or the management terminal 1210. The access point can use TCP/IP or RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) for wireless communication. Here, short-range communication may be performed in various standards such as radio frequency (RF) and ultra-wideband communication (UWB), such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, infrared (IrDA), ultra high frequency (UHF), and very high frequency (VHF), in addition to Wi-Fi. You can. Accordingly, the access point extracts the location of the data packet, designates the best communication path for the extracted location, and transmits the data packet along the designated communication path to the next device, for example, user terminals 1200-1, 1200-2 and/or Or it can be delivered to the management terminal 1210. An access point may share multiple lines in a typical network environment, and may include, for example, routers, repeaters, and repeaters.

The service providing device 1230 includes a server operated by a separate service company that manages applications related to restaurants, although it is irrelevant to a computer operated by a manager of a restaurant or another type of industry. Of course, the service providing device 1230 may be a device separately managed by a communication company. Or it may be a server operated by a van (VAN) company, PG company, card company, etc. related to payment.

The service providing device 1230 may manage applications related to menus of restaurants, for example, in the whole country (or around the world). For example, although an application can be managed in units of individual restaurants and delivered to user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, applications can be managed in regions and delivered in units of regions, or applications in a larger country unit. Will be able to drop it. Of course, this can be seen as giving down an application made for each unit, but it will not be particularly limited to this. In other words, the service providing device 1230 may split and transmit a large country-level application.

For example, if the user is located in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, the service providing device 1230 provides only the app of the restaurant related to Gangnam-gu. Or, if you need an app for restaurants in all regions, you can make it accessible to all regions. If it is such a large unit of application, it is desirable to search the restaurant name in the search bar and check the address of the restaurant, etc., so that the menu of the restaurant can be easily selected. Of course, it is possible to search for a restaurant in a local item in the form of a list, but considering the convenience of users, a method using a search word may be more useful. Therefore, the embodiment of the present disclosure is not particularly limited to any one form.

In addition, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 may perform payment using credit card information stored in the terminal or payment using a mobile phone (ex. using a phone number). In addition, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the method of payment is not particularly limited because the payment with points can be performed as much as possible. This is because various new payment methods such as S company's Pay, Na*** Pay, and Car** Pay, which have recently emerged, are made through user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, any case is irrelevant as long as payment can be made for his order through the application. For example, only the order proceeds with the application, and the payment may be possible in the case of paying in cash offline.

In other embodiments of the present disclosure, detailed structures of the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, the management terminal 1210 and/or the service provision device 1230 are not necessarily shown as separate drawings. In another embodiment of the present disclosure, various types of applications are stored and used in the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, whether the management terminal 1210 provides the form, or the form provided by the service providing device 1230. Because it may be possible.

Accordingly, considering this point, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 include a storage unit, a communication interface unit, and a control unit (ex. processor, memory type, etc.), and further comprising a display unit. desirable. Here, the display unit may be a combination of a touch panel and a liquid crystal (or LED) panel. Of course, other than that, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 may also include various components applied to a general mobile phone. 1, 5 and 6 may be referred to with respect to the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2.

Also, the management terminal 1210 is unlikely to be significantly different from the above user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2. In this regard, since it has been sufficiently described above, further explanation will be omitted.

Furthermore, in the case of the service providing device 1230, a communication interface unit and a control unit may be included. In addition, the service providing device 1230 may interwork with the DB through the communication interface unit. In addition, a proxy may be included to reduce the data throughput inside. In other words, since the proxy is a kind of relay device that relays data between the communication network 1220 and the service providing device 1230, it may be a reverse proxy located immediately in front of the service providing device 1230. If the service providing device 1230 is a computer (ex. desktop), it may further include a display (unit). In addition, the service providing device 1230 may also operate as a cloud server, and thus may include various components and resources.

According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of users can make their own payments for the selected menu (ex. food menu), so that users familiar with the Dutch culture may feel convenient to use a restaurant, etc. Restaurant managers who are struggling with culture may also benefit.

So far, with reference to FIG. 12, it has been described in what form an application (or app) is processed and in what form order information and payment information are processed using the app.

In summary, if the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 and the management terminal 1210 operate in a standalone or independent form with each other, the application, order information, and payment information may be processed by direct communication. For example, if the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 receives an application from the management terminal 1210, and sends orders and payments through the application, and transmits related information to the management terminal 1210, the management terminal 1210 is to manage the user's situation based on the received information.

Meanwhile, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 and the management terminal 1210 both operate based on the service providing device 1230. In this case, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 provide their information (ex. device ID) together with the information of the management terminal 1210 to the service providing device 1230 via the communication network 1220. The management terminal 1210 may download an application of a registered region and/or restaurant. Then, the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 executes the application to proceed with the order and payment, and provides information about it back to the service providing device 1230, and the service providing device 1230 again manages the terminal The relevant information is transmitted to (1210). Through this, information may be synchronized between the management terminal 1210 and the service providing device 1230. If the service providing device 1230 is a server such as a card company, it may be more useful. This is because the restaurant sales can be easily checked without hassle.

In addition, although the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 download the application from the service providing device 1230, there are cases in which payment information or order information is directly transmitted to the management terminal 1210. In this case, the management terminal 1210 may provide the information to the service providing device 1230 according to the intention of the system designer to maintain synchronization, but if unnecessary, such a process may be omitted.

Considering the above situations, the application, order, and payment information can be processed through various routes, but the destination will be the management terminal 1210. That is, only when the order and payment information can be easily managed by the management terminal 12010, the manager of the management terminal 1210 can conveniently check the order and payment status in an arbitrary space through a screen.

With continued reference to FIG. 12, the system 1190 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure may be modified in various forms and used in any number.

For example, as mentioned above, in what case is the application provided to the user terminals 1200-1, 1200-2? Previously, the case of entering the corresponding space, for example, a restaurant, was exemplified, but while sitting at the table, signals of the same or similar (signal) intensity from a user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 for a certain time (or a designated time) At this time, when the transmission/reception is performed, the management terminal 1210 provides an application to the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, or the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 activate the corresponding application if there is a stored application. Will be able to. The same may be applied to the service providing device 1230. In other words, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 may request an application to the service providing device 1230 according to the communication state with the NodeB in the communication network 1220 shown in FIG. 12.

Also, it may be determined whether the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 are within a communication radius with the management terminal 1210 and perform the above operation. For example, a Bluetooth signal may have a smaller communication radius than Wi-Fi, so it may be possible to use this type of signal. Of course, various signals such as infrared rays may be used for the above operation.

Furthermore, if there is a repeater or antenna capable of recognizing the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 or a terminal capable of NFC, the user terminal 1200-1 or 1200-2 is operated in close proximity. Thereby, the application may be provided from the management terminal 1210 or the service providing device 1230 or a pre-stored application may be activated. Since the application may be provided or activated in various forms, the embodiment of the present disclosure will not be particularly limited to any one method.

Meanwhile, a method of placing an order using an application and a method of paying may also be variously performed. 13 to 17 are diagrams for explaining various payment methods according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

For example, one of a plurality of users launches the application and then attempts all orders. Of course, it can be useful if you are paying all the costs, but it can be any amount in the case of a split payment. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the partial payment may be performed by the user selecting a partial payment or by entering a mobile phone number or a card number of the user who performs the payment of the corresponding menu on an item displayed on the order menu screen. It can be (see Figures 13 to 17). For example, if payment is possible with a mobile phone, the mobile phone number is provided, so that the payment status can be known from the PG company or the card company (see FIG. 17). In addition, the management terminal 1210 may provide that payment has been made. Since the order status and the payment status can be provided to the management terminal 1210 through various routes, further description is omitted.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 16, when an orderer enters a mobile phone number in a specific menu item, a payment request may be provided to allow payment of a specific menu item with the corresponding mobile phone number. Therefore, it may be possible to proceed with payment using various payment methods by accepting the payment request. Here, accepting can be understood as clicking OK on the UI screen, but accepting payment itself can be regarded as accepting. Therefore, it will not be particularly limited in what way it is made. At this time, the payment request may be performed in the form of providing the application through the management terminal 1210, but only the request information is provided to execute the application on the user terminals 1200-1, 1200-2, so that payment can be performed. It will not be particularly limited to one.

In this way, if the orderer can make all payments in the same manner as in FIG. 17 with his mobile phone, and if security for payment is required, the authentication number is additionally input in the case of the mobile phone number as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15. In the case of a card number, in the case of a card number, an additional two digits of the front or rear digit of the password may be input, which may also be performed on the mobile phone of the orderer or on the mobile phone of the user who ordered the corresponding menu. This will depend only on the designer's intentions, and will not be particularly limited to either method.

In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, it may be desirable to simply make payment with a mobile phone number or a card number, as shown in FIG. 17, when one orderer has processed all orders. Because of convenience. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, when a partial payment is pressed after entering all the mobile phone numbers, a check request is made for a menu ordered by each user's terminal for a check item, and all unchecked items are paid by the user. You can proceed with the payment. In addition, the information as shown in FIG. 17 may be directly transmitted to a PG company or a card company, and payment may be performed. As described above, since it can be implemented in various ways in connection with payment, it will not be particularly limited to either method.

Other than that, with regard to the process of prepayment or postpayment together with the identification information (ex. table number, etc.) of the space in which they are currently located through the app displayed on their mobile terminal, further explanation is omitted. do.

13 to 17, the payment scenario will be described in more detail. In FIGS. 13 to 15, one orderer requests a partial payment for another user's order menu item, and the user's card password is 2 digits related to the menu item. B. It indicates that payment is made by directly entering the authentication number sent to the user's mobile phone. Here, the orderer is a person who has placed an order through his mobile phone.

16 is a case in which the orderer passes the payment to the user's mobile phone corresponding to a specific menu item, respectively. It is possible to pass the payment process only to the user who requested to proceed with the partial payment by marking the selected item. Accordingly, PG will be able to provide a payment window based on the phone number.

Even in the case of FIG. 17, the orderer himself performs all payment processing, but according to whether a selection item is selected and payment information for each user, information is immediately transmitted to the PG company to simultaneously make payments for all people, and this is managed in FIG. The terminal 1210 will be able to confirm. Of course, the payment information may be provided directly from the PG company or the card company to the management terminal 1210.

Furthermore, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may automatically classify and store the applications they use, such as restaurant applications. For example, suppose a specific user's company was Gangnam. If the user has used approximately 15 restaurants in the vicinity, and each application is provided by the restaurant, the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 of the user obtains the restaurant address through the application or the like from a communication company. Acquiring information that the location of Gangnam will be able to classify and store applications based on the address.

The classified applications may be sorted by being linked to an icon displayed on the main screen of the user terminal 1200-1 or 1200-2. Accordingly, when the user selects the icon, the applications will be listed and displayed on the screen. Then, the user can proceed with the order and payment by running the app of the restaurant. It is preferable that these classified applications are stored in the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, but it may be possible to be stored in the service provision device 1230 of FIG. For example, the service providing device 1230 may manage applications for each user, and may update corresponding application information whenever there is a change. For example, a menu change is a good example. In addition, when the user selects an icon of a service provided by the corresponding service providing device 1230, updated application information is transmitted.

As described so far, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, the management terminal 1210, and the service provision device 1230 of FIG. 12 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are operable in various situations. The embodiment of the disclosure will not be particularly limited to either situation.

In relation to such application storage and management, the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 may use the application once and discard it. Therefore, the service providing device 1230 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may transmit the updated application to the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2 only when necessary. Alternatively, even if a number of restaurant applications are stored in the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2, it may be possible to automatically delete the applications that have not been used for a certain period of time, for example, for one year. For example, the processor of the user terminal 1200-1, 1200-2 checks the last date that the application is used on a daily, weekly, 10-day, or 1-month basis, and deletes the application whose specified time has elapsed based on this. It is possible to proceed.

In addition, time zones may be designated for applications processed by the user terminals 1200-1, 1200-2, the management terminal 1210, and the service providing device 1230. For example, in the case of a restaurant, a user may designate a specific time zone, such as 8-10 AM in the morning, 11-14 PM in the lunch, and 5-7 PM in the evening, and the application is applied to the user terminal 1200-1, only in the time zone. 1200-2) may be activated and displayed, or may be transmitted from the management terminal 1210 or the service provision device 1230 to the user terminals 1200-1 and 1200-2.

In addition, since users usually show meals in groups, it is based on a specific user, for example, if age information can be obtained from user information, or if there is a history of frequent use of restaurants. Based on various information such as, it may be possible to send the application to only a part (ex. 1 person, 3 persons, etc.). Since all of these things depend on how a system designer or an application maker designs a program, the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be limited to any one.

So far, it has been described that a menu can be ordered using an application, payment is performed for the ordered menu, and split payment is possible. The application is an application. In other words, it is a kind of program. In a broad sense, it means any software running on the operating system (OS). Also, in a narrow sense, it means software that the user directly uses on the OS. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the application has been described in a narrow sense, but it can be used in any way in a broad sense, and accordingly, an appropriate hardware component (ex. control unit, payment execution unit) may be configured. For example, although the payment execution unit is not an application, it may be configured in the form of an EEPROM, and may be configured to store a program for the above operation therein and execute it under the control of the control unit. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the application is not necessarily limited to an operation according to the use of the application in a narrow sense.

On the other hand, that all components constituting the embodiments of the present invention are described as being combined or operated as one, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. That is, within the scope of the present invention, all of the constituent elements may be selectively combined and operated. In addition, all of the components may be implemented by one independent hardware, but a part or all of the components are selectively combined to perform a program module that performs some or all functions combined in one or a plurality of hardware. It can also be implemented as a computer program. The codes and code segments constituting the computer program can be easily deduced by those skilled in the art of the present invention. Such a computer program is stored in a computer-readable non-transitory computer readable media and read and executed by a computer, thereby realizing an embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the non-transitory readable recording medium means a medium that stores data semi-permanently and that can be read by a device, rather than a medium that stores data for a short moment, such as a register, a cache, or a memory. Specifically, the above-described programs may be stored and provided on a non-transitory readable recording medium such as a CD, DVD, hard disk, Blu-ray disk, USB, memory card, ROM, and the like.
