Here, the exchange means may be expressed as a barcode or a QR code, and may include a coupon that can be recognized by the seller terminal 200 by recording purchase information of the user terminal 300.

On the other hand, it is preferable that the exchange means provided by the specific user terminal 300 is non-refundable, and the non-refundable information may be notified to the user terminal 300 in advance.

However, exchange means provided under certain conditions may be refundable.

For example, a refund may be possible only when an obvious negligence of the server 100 or the seller terminal 200 is recognized, or when a refund for an exchange means does not significantly affect the decline in the value of the product. .

A user who has the user terminal 300 may visit a store operated by the seller terminal 200 and exchange a product matching the exchange means to complete the purchase.

However, the user with the user terminal 300 cannot visit the store operated by the seller terminal 200 until the expiration date for the product, or cannot exchange the product with the exchange means normally when visiting the store, and the product is discarded. If the deadline is exceeded, it is desirable to discard the product.

Hereinafter, the server 100, the seller terminal 200, and the user terminal 300 will be described in more detail through FIGS. 3 to 7.

3 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a server in a discount sales system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the server 100 may include a storage unit 110, a communication unit 120, and a processing unit 130.

The server 100 may receive input information on which a discount is requested for a specific product from the seller terminal 200 side, process it, and provide it to the user terminal 300 side.

In addition, the server 100 includes the location information of the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300, the information of the seller and the store with the seller terminal 200, the personal information of the user with the user terminal 300 and the user. Battery information, etc. of the terminal 300 may be received and stored.

The storage unit 110 includes information on a seller holding the seller terminal 200, information on a store operated through the seller terminal 200, information on a product corresponding to a barcode recognized by the seller terminal 200, and payment of the product. And sales information, personal information of a user holding the user terminal 300, application program information for purchasing discount products and stored in the user terminal 300, purchase history information of the user through the application program, and Location information, information on a preferred store matched with the user terminal 300, information on the remaining battery capacity of the user terminal 300, and the like may be stored.

The communication unit 120 may be connected to the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 through the communication network 50, receives information input from the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300, and processed result information Can be delivered to the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300.

The processing unit 130 may transmit information to a discount product and perform payment processing based on information input from the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300.

The processing unit 130 may receive information on a product to be discarded among the products being sold from the seller terminal 200 and apply a discount rate set to the product to be discarded to provide it to the user terminal 300.

Here, the set discount rate may be applied differently for each product type.

In addition, as the expiration date approaches, the set discount rate may increase.

For example, if the deadline for disposal is 18 hours before, the discount rate for the product may be applied at 20%, if the deadline for disposal is 12 hours before, the discount rate for the product may be applied at 30%, and the deadline for disposal is 6 hours before. In this case, the discount rate for the product may be applied at 40%.

In addition, the set discount rate may be set based on information input from the seller terminal 200.

For example, when the seller terminal 200 selects a case where the disposal period is 3 hours before and inputs a discount rate of 50% for the product, the processing unit 130 stores the discount product information to which the input discount rate is applied to the user terminal 300. Can be provided to.

On the other hand, the processing unit 130 may obtain information on the disposal period of the product through code information of the product recognized by the seller terminal 200.

On the other hand, in an example, the processing unit 130, based on the location information of the user terminal 300, provides the information on the discount product requested by the specific seller terminal 200 that operates the store closest to the user terminal 300. The notification may be provided to the adjacent user terminal 300 through at least one of a text message, a vibration alarm, and a push message.

In addition, in another example, if the distance between the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300 is within a preset reference distance, based on the location information of the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300, the processing unit 130 The information about the discount product information requested at 200 may be provided to the adjacent user terminal 300 through at least one of a text message, a vibration alarm, and a push notification.

Here, the preset reference distance is a distance that an adult can reach within 30 minutes on foot, and may be set to, for example, 2Km. Meanwhile, the processing unit 130 determines that the remaining capacity of the battery of the user terminal 300 is set in advance. Notifications provided for specific user terminals 300A and 300B corresponding to the may be blocked.

Here, the preset battery remaining capacity condition may include a case where the remaining capacity of the battery of the user terminal 300 is less than 15% or a case where the remaining capacity of the battery is less than 5% and not being charged.

Through this, the user terminal 300 corresponding to the preset battery level condition may not be able to make a normal transaction (exchange means <-> product) by arriving at the store of the seller terminal 200 for which the discount product information has been requested, so the processing unit 130 may block unnecessary push alarms from being provided based on the remaining battery capacity information.

In addition, when the processing unit 130 applies for discount sales from the seller terminal 200 operating the preferred store based on the preferred store information matched with the user terminal 300, the seller terminal 200 operating the preferred store The notification for the requested discount sale information may be provided to the user terminal 300 through at least one of a text message, a vibration alarm, and a push notification.

Here, the preferred store information matched to the user terminal 300 may be directly designated by the user who has the user terminal 300, or the same store three or more times based on the history information of purchasing the product through the above-described application program. If there is a history of purchase at, the processing unit 130 may register this store as a preferred store of the user terminal 300.

On the other hand, registering a preferred store three times, which is the number of purchase histories, is only one embodiment, and of course, it may be changed according to a decision of the user or the server 100.

The processing unit 130 may receive information on a product to be discarded among the products being sold from the seller terminal 200 and apply a discount rate set to the product to be discarded to provide it to the user terminal 300.

Meanwhile, the processing unit 130 may provide discount product information to which a set discount rate is applied to a plurality of user terminals 300A and 300B, and among them, a specific user terminal 300A may proceed with payment for the purchase of the discount product. .

When the payment is completed, the processing unit 130 may provide a specific user terminal 300A with an exchange means exchangeable for a payment-completed product.

On the other hand, an exchange means exchangeable for a product for which payment has been completed may not be refundable.

Information on the payment-completed product may be transmitted to the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300, and access may be blocked so that payment for the payment-completed product is impossible in the other user terminal 300B.

In addition, in a store operated by the seller terminal 200, payment for a corresponding product may be blocked so that other people cannot purchase a product for which payment has been completed online through the communication network 50.

On the other hand, the processing unit 130 cancels the sale of discount products corresponding to the disposal condition on-line, and then processes it to be disposed of, and transmits the information of the product to be disposed of to the seller terminal 200 and the user terminal 300. I can.

Here, the disposal scheduled processing may be defined as stopping the online sale of a product that is difficult to sell online, although a predetermined time remains until the disposal deadline.

Here, the disposal condition may include a case where the remaining time until the expiration date of the discount product is less than or equal to a preset threshold time.

Here, the preset threshold time may be applied differently for each product type.

As an example, the processing unit 130 cancels the sale on-line collectively for products with 1 or 2 hours remaining until the disposal deadline, and then performs a disposal scheduled process.

In addition, the processing unit 130, when applying for a discount sale from a specific seller terminal 200, generates the shortest distance information according to the location of the specific user terminal 300A and the location of the specific seller terminal 200, and the shortest distance information Based on the calculation of the store arrival time of the user with the user terminal 300A, and when the calculated arrival time of the user exceeds the expiration date of the discount product being sold at a discount, for a specific user terminal 200 You can block payments for purchasing discount products.

Through this, if the user terminal 300, which has made payment and has been provided with an exchange method corresponding to the discount product, arrives at the store but exceeds the expiration date of the discount product, normal transaction (exchange means <-> product) is impossible. Therefore, this problem can be prevented in advance.

In addition, the processing unit 130 receives battery information of the user terminal 300 and prevents payment for purchasing a discount product for a specific user terminal 300A in which the remaining capacity of the battery corresponds to a preset battery remaining condition. Can be blocked.

Here, the preset battery remaining capacity condition may include a case where the remaining capacity of the battery of the user terminal 300A is less than 15% or a case where the remaining capacity of the battery is less than 5% and not being charged.

Through this, even if the user terminal 300, which has made payment and has been provided with an exchange means corresponding to the discount product, arrives at the store, if the power is shut down due to the problem of remaining battery capacity, a normal transaction (exchange means <-> product) is Since it is impossible, this problem can be prevented in advance.

Here, the user information of the user terminals 300A and 300B may include login history information of the user, purchase history information of the user, location information of the user, personal information of the user, information on the remaining battery capacity of the user terminal, and the like.

Thereafter, the seller terminal 200 may apply the discount rate provided by the server 100 to request a discount sale to the server 100 for a specific product for which a disposal period exists (S21).

Thereafter, the server 100 receiving the discount sales application information of the seller terminal 200 transmits the discount product information to which the discount rate is applied to the user terminals 300A and 300B (S12).

Thereafter, each of the user terminals 300A and 300B initiates discount product information through a push notification or an application program (S31).

Thereafter, the specific user terminal 300A may process payment for purchase for a specific discount product from the server 100 and receive an exchange means exchangeable for the product for which the payment has been completed (S32).

Thereafter, the server 100 completes the payment for the specific discount product, and receives information related to the discount product payment from the specific user terminal 300A (S13).

Thereafter, the server 100 provides payment completion information on which payment has been completed for a specific discount product to the seller terminal 200 and a plurality of user terminals 300A and 300B, and blocks additional payment for the payment-completed product (S14). ).

Thereafter, the seller holding the seller terminal 200 may attach a sale completion indication to the discount product for which payment has been completed (S22).

On the sale completion indication, the nickname of the purchaser (user) who purchased the discount product is displayed, so that the purchaser can be distinguished.

Through this, it is possible to prevent the problem of redundant payments between online and offline in the discount sales system 1000.

Thereafter, a user with the user terminal 300A may visit a store operated by the seller terminal 200 and exchange the provided exchange means with the corresponding product to purchase a discount product (S33).

Thereafter, the server 100 receives the sale completion information of the discount product, and terminates the product (S15).

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 9, in the user terminals 300A and 300B, after the process (S31) in which discount product information is initiated through a push notification or an application program, the remaining time until the disposal deadline in the server 100 is a preset threshold time. If the following payment information for the product is not received (S16), the product is canceled on-line and the result of the scheduled disposal process is transmitted to the seller terminal 200 and the user terminals 300A and 300B (S17).

Thereafter, the seller terminal 200 receiving the result of the planned disposal process discards the product when the disposal deadline for the product arrives (S23).
