1 is a block diagram of a facility use service providing system based on coupon quota sharing according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The system of FIG. 1 may include a customer terminal 100, a manager terminal 200, a facility operating device 300, a network 400, and a server 500.

The customer terminal 100 may sign up as a member through a facility use service application from the server 500, reserve facility use of a desired partner store, or pay facility use fees. To this end, the customer terminal 100 may download and use a facility use service application from the server 500 .

Here, the facility may be, for example, a car washing facility (eg, including a car wash bay and a bay controller) installed in a car wash (eg, an automatic car wash or a self car wash). Of course, other than car washing facilities, facilities available to customers through reservation or the like may be included in the category of facilities.

The aforementioned affiliated store (merchant store) may refer to a business site equipped with a facility operating device 300 (eg, including a car wash bay and a bay controller), which will be described later.

For example, coupons such as 10% discount coupons, 20% discount coupons, 30% discount coupons, 10-minute/20-minute/30-minute free coupons, etc. may be used when paying for the above-described facility usage fee. The exemplified coupon may refer to an online coupon issued by the server 500, and the customer terminal 100 may download and use the coupon (online coupon) issued by the server 500.

In this way, since coupons can be used when paying for facility use, the number of used coupons can be transmitted to the server 500 as coupon usage information. That is, the customer terminal 100 may input the number of coupons used to pay for facility use, and the input number of coupons may be transmitted to the server 500 as coupon usage information. Alternatively, since the facility management device 300, which will be described later, can also make a discount payment by using a coupon, the facility management device 300 may transmit coupon usage information to the server 500.

If necessary, the coupon may also include paper coupons.

On the other hand, when the customer terminal 100 makes a reservation for facility use, before displaying a screen for inputting (selecting) facility use reservation information (e.g., partner store to make a reservation, reservation time, vehicle number, etc.), the server ( 500), a screen capable of displaying information on affiliate stores where coupons can be used and remaining coupon quota information for each affiliate store is displayed at the current point in time (ie, when information on reservation request for facility use is received) based on coupon quota sharing information from can be displayed.

Coupon quota sharing information is provided to the corresponding customer terminal 100 prior to reservation of facility use when a plurality of customer terminals 100 intend to reserve facility use at almost the same time or a single customer terminal 100 intends to reserve facility use As the information, it may be information including remaining coupon quotas for each affiliated store up to the present time when the facility use reservation request information is input. For example, if a plurality of customer terminals 100 attempt to reserve facility use almost simultaneously, coupon quota sharing information will be commonly provided to the plurality of customer terminals 100 .

Of course, even when there is only one customer terminal 100 wishing to make a facility use reservation, coupon quota sharing information is provided to the corresponding customer terminal 100 .

That is, the coupon quota sharing information is the coupon quota preset for each affiliate store (ie, available It may be information including the remaining coupon quotas for each affiliated store at the present time by accumulating and deducting the coupon limit).

When the customer terminal 100 sends facility usage reservation request information to the server 500, the server 500 sends coupon quota sharing information at the current time to the corresponding customer terminal 100. Accordingly, the corresponding customer terminal 100 generates and displays a screen displaying affiliate store information and remaining coupon quota information for each affiliate store, based on the coupon quota sharing information, at the current point in time. That is, the coupon quota sharing information can be referred to as information provided to the customer terminal 100 before a facility use reservation is made when facility use reservation request information indicating a facility use reservation is received.

Therefore, since the customer can visually check the affiliate stores where coupons can be used and the remaining coupon quota for each affiliate store at the current time displayed on the screen on the terminal 100, the current facility usage status and / or reservation status can be easily grasped. there is. As a result, it is possible to make a facility use reservation very conveniently. That is, when a customer uses a discount coupon in the app, it is possible to prevent an increase in the burden of an affiliate store due to a concentration of coupons in one place by separately displaying only affiliate stores with available coupon quota remaining.

The customer terminal 100 may transmit facility use reservation information for affiliated stores to the server 500 .

The customer terminal 100 may also be referred to as a user terminal.

The customer terminal 100 may be implemented as a portable terminal or a portable computer. Here, the portable terminal is a wireless communication device that guarantees portability and mobility, and includes Personal Communication System (PCS), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Personal Handyphone System (PHS), and Personal Digital Communication (PDA).

The manager terminal 200 may register an affiliate store (affiliate store) with the server 500 . That is, affiliate store registration may be performed by a key input by a facility manager (eg, a manager at a workplace equipped with the facility operating device 300). In this case, the manager terminal 200 may transmit registration information including, for example, the name of affiliated stores, the location, the number of facilities, login information, and the like to the server 500 .

Meanwhile, the manager terminal 200 may freely set the maximum coupon quota information (quota size) to be allowed for a certain period at a corresponding affiliated store (ie, a business site equipped with equipment operating equipment) for coupons issued by the server 500. . Here, the predetermined period may be, for example, one week or one month. Accordingly, for example, the quota may be reset every Wednesday or the quota may be reset on the first day of every month. That is, the quota is set by the manager of an affiliated store, and may mean a limit that can be used weekly or monthly at the affiliated store.

Since the manager terminal 200 receives facility use reservation information for the corresponding affiliate store from the server 500, the reservation status (or operation status) of the corresponding affiliate store can be grasped based on the received facility use reservation information. Accordingly, the manager terminal 200 may variably determine coupon quota information (that is, a maximum coupon quota allowable value) according to the facility use reservation status for the affiliated store.

In the above description, it is said that the maximum coupon quota information to be allowed for a certain period of time can be freely set, but unlike this, the manager terminal 200 collects facility usage reservation information of the affiliated store (ie, a business site equipped with a facility operating device) to provide information for a certain period of time. It is possible to automatically calculate the maximum coupon quota allowance that can be allocated to an empty time zone during the day (eg, today, up to 30 minutes of n coupons available, etc.). In addition, the manager terminal 200 may determine a maximum coupon quota allowance allocable to an empty time slot for a predetermined period as the coupon quota information described above. Here, the above-described collected facility use reservation information may be information collected during the period from the opening of the corresponding affiliate store to the present operation, or for a predetermined period (eg, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, etc.) may be information collected up to a point in the past.

Alternatively, the manager terminal 200 collects facility use reservation information of the affiliated store (ie, a business site equipped with facility operating devices), and provides a coupon with a predetermined ratio to the maximum coupon quota allowance that can be allocated to an empty time slot for a certain period of time. It can be determined as quota information. Here, the predetermined ratio can be freely determined by the administrator. And, even here, the above-mentioned facility use reservation information collected may be information collected during the period from the opening of the corresponding affiliate store to the present operation, or for a predetermined period from the point of time for calculating the maximum coupon quota allowance (eg, 1 Months, 2 months, 3 months, etc.) may be information collected up to a point in the past.

Alternatively, if a certain period of time has not elapsed since opening or there is still no customer (guest), the manager terminal 200 displays the maximum coupon quota information for the affiliated store (ie, a business site equipped with facility operating equipment) as " It can be set to “unlimited”.

In this way, the manager can optimize the maximum coupon quota allowed for a certain period of time or the maximum coupon quota allowed for an empty time zone when the facility is not operated for a certain period, depending on the operation status of the affiliated store (facility business site). .

The manager terminal 200 may be implemented as a portable terminal or a portable computer. Here, the portable terminal is a wireless communication device that guarantees portability and mobility, and includes Personal Communication System (PCS), Global System for Mobile communications (GSM), Personal Digital Cellular (PDC), Personal Handyphone System (PHS), and Personal Digital Communication (PDA).

Of course, the storage unit 520 may additionally store member information for member registration.

The coupon usage check unit 530 determines how many coupons have been used in making a facility use payment at an arbitrary affiliate store based on the coupon use information of the affiliate store from the customer terminal 100 or the facility management device 300. can

The remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 sets a preset value for each affiliated store based on the case where a discount payment is made using a coupon in the cost payment for facility use for each affiliated store for a certain period of time until the request for reservation of facility use is received. You can cumulatively deduct one coupon quota (i.e., the limit of available coupons). At this time, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 is used to cumulatively subtract the number of used coupons identified by the coupon use determining unit 530 .

Of course, since the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 may directly receive coupon use information from the customer terminal 100 or the facility operating device 300 within a certain period of time (eg, weekly or monthly), in this case, the coupon The usage identification unit 530 is not required. Therefore, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 may be to include the function of the coupon use determination unit 530.

In other words, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 may generate remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store due to the accumulated deduction as described above.

That is, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 subtracts the number of coupons used based on coupon usage information within a certain period of time whenever a discount payment is made using a coupon from a preset coupon quota, thereby corresponding to each affiliated store. Remaining coupon quota information can be created.

For example, assuming that the coupon quota reset period for each affiliate is every Wednesday or the 1st of every month. If the dog is used, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 may calculate that the affiliate store A currently has 4 coupons remaining, and generate corresponding remaining coupon quota information.

Of course, when the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 generates remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store at the current time (ie, when a request for facility use reservation is received), the coupon can be used at the current time point (ie, facility use reservation request is received). possible) partnerships can be identified. That is, since the remaining coupon quota is not "0 (zero)" at the present time (ie, the time when the request for reservation of facility use is received), the affiliate store has a coupon quota that can be used. And, in this way, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 can identify affiliated stores where coupons can be used. Accordingly, the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 may output remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store at the time of receiving a request for reservation of facility use and information on affiliated stores where the coupon can be used.

Remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store and information on affiliated stores where coupons can be used output from the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 are reset and recalculated at the same cycle as the reset cycle of the coupon quota information.

When the coupon quota sharing processing unit 550 receives facility use reservation request information, the remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store at the current time (ie, the time when the facility use reservation request is received) from the remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540 and the current At this point, coupon quota sharing information including information on affiliated stores where coupons can be used is generated and commonly transmitted to one or more customer terminals 100 that have sent facility usage reservation request information.

The coupon issuing unit 560 may issue a coupon (eg, an online coupon) for receiving a discount or free benefit when using facilities of an affiliated store (merchant store).

The message processing unit 570 may generate and transmit a predetermined confirmation message before the arrival of the reservation date to the customer terminal 100 who has reserved the facility use after requesting the facility use reservation.

For example, the message processing unit 570 may generate a confirmation message one day before the reservation date for facility use and transmit the confirmation message to the customer terminal 100 for which facility use is reserved.

The control unit 580 controls the overall operation of the server 500, information collection unit 510, storage unit 520, coupon usage identification unit 530, remaining coupon quota calculation unit 540, coupon quota sharing processing unit Control flow or data flow between the 550, the coupon issuing unit 560, and the message processing unit 570 may be controlled.

In addition, in order to minimize or prevent no-shows, the controller 580 imposes a predetermined penalty on the customer or the customer terminal 100 if the facility is not used on the reservation date without any notice after reservation. ) can be given.

That is, the controller 580 grants, for example, 10% points to the corresponding customer terminal 100 as a penalty whenever there is a no-show, and when the sum of the penalty points reaches a predetermined threshold value, the corresponding customer terminal 100 For (100), the facility use service may be disabled.

7 is a flowchart for explaining a method for providing a facility use service based on coupon quota sharing according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a flowchart for explaining an operation flow in a customer terminal.

First, the customer terminal 100 registers as a member (S10). For example, member information including the customer's name, log-in information, vehicle number, etc. is transmitted to the server 500 to sign up as a member.

Thereafter, a customer who wants to make a reservation to use a facility (eg, a car wash facility of one of one or more affiliated stores registered in the server 500) manipulates his or her terminal 100 to send information about the reservation of facility use to the server. (500) (S12, S14). That is, when making a reservation for facility use, the display unit 140 of the customer terminal 100 displays a screen asking whether or not a facility use reservation is desired, and in that state, the customer selects (clicks) the facility use reservation request. ), information including a corresponding signal, a facility use reservation request signal, is transmitted to the server 500.

Subsequently, the customer terminal 100 receives coupon quota sharing information from the server 500 (S16). In other words, when facility use reservation request information is transmitted to the server 500, the server 500 may use coupons in the facility use cost payment for each affiliated store before the current point in time, based on the case where the discount payment was made. A predetermined coupon quota (that is, the limit of usable coupons) is cumulatively deducted to generate remaining coupon quota information, and also generates affiliated store information where coupons can be used. In addition, the server 500 sends coupon quota sharing information including remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store and affiliated store information where coupons can be used to the customer terminal 100, but at least one inputting information for reservation of facility use. It is sent so that the customer terminal 100 can receive it in common. Thereby, one or more customer terminals 100 may receive coupon quota sharing information from the server 500 .

Then, the customer terminal 100 receiving the coupon quota sharing information generates a screen displaying affiliate store information and remaining coupon quota information for each affiliate store based on the coupon quota sharing information at the current time ( S18).

Thereafter, the customer terminal 100 displays the screen generated in step S18 on the display unit 140 (S20). At this time, for example, the display unit 140 of the customer terminal 100 displays a list of affiliated stores where coupons can be used at the current time (ie, facility use reservations possible), in order of remaining allowable coupon usage. A sorted list of affiliated points may be displayed on the screen. As another example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , the display unit 140 of the customer terminal 100 may display a screen for intuitively grasping remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store where coupons can be used.

Accordingly, since the customer can intuitively check the remaining coupon quota for each affiliated store where coupons can be used (ie, facility use reservations can be made) at the current time, the screen displayed on the display unit 140 (eg, shown in FIG. 3 ). screen), reservations are made for the use of facilities for a specific partner store desired (S22). At this time, the customer terminal 100 inputs facility use reservation information including, for example, affiliate stores to be reserved, reservation time, vehicle number, and the like.

When the facility use reservation for a specific affiliated store is completed, the facility use reservation information described above is transmitted to the server 500 (S24).

Thereafter, when the reservation date for facility use arrives, the customer goes to the affiliated store to use the facility, and when the facility usage is completed, the customer pays for a discount using a coupon or the like (S26).

Accordingly, the customer terminal 100 transmits the number of coupons used to pay the facility usage fee of the affiliated store to the server 500 as coupon usage information (S28).

In the above description, the customer terminal 100 transmits the coupon usage information to the server 500, but since there may be an input error, the facility operating device 300 transmits the coupon usage information to the server 500. you can do it by doing That is, since the facility management device 300 can also make a discount payment by using a coupon, the facility management device 300 may transmit coupon use information of affiliated stores to the server 500 .

8 is a flowchart for explaining a method for providing a facility use service based on coupon quota sharing according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a flowchart for explaining an operation flow in a server.

First, the server 500 collects and stores registration information of a corresponding affiliate store from each manager terminal 200 (S50). Here, an affiliated store may refer to a workplace equipped with a facility management device 300, and one manager terminal 200 corresponds to each affiliated store.

Then, the server 500 collects and stores the coupon quota information of the affiliated store from each manager terminal 200 (S52). Here, the coupon quota information includes a maximum value for using a weekly (or monthly) discount coupon at a corresponding affiliated store.

Thereafter, when the server 500 receives facility use reservation request information almost simultaneously from one or more customer terminals 100 (“Yes” in S54), the server 500 waits until it receives the facility use reservation request information within a certain period of time. Remaining coupon quota for each affiliated store is calculated (S56). In the case of calculating the remaining coupon quota for each affiliated store, the server 500 determines the coupon quota preset for each affiliated store based on the case where discount payment has been made using a coupon in the facility use cost payment for each affiliated store until the present time. , the limit of available coupons) can be calculated by accumulating and deducting the remaining coupon quota for each affiliated store. For example, assuming that the coupon quota reset period for each affiliated store is every Wednesday or the 1st of every month, the preset coupon quota of affiliated store A is 8 and there are 4 coupons at affiliated store A until every Wednesday or the 1st of every month. If used, the server 500 may calculate that the affiliated store A has 4 coupons remaining at the present time and generate corresponding remaining coupon quota information. Of course, when generating remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store at the current time, the server 500 may also generate information on affiliated stores where coupons can be used (ie, facility usage reservations can be made) at the current time.

Next, the server 500 generates coupon quota sharing information including information on affiliated stores where coupons can be used at the current time and remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store (S58).

Then, the server 500 commonly transmits coupon quota sharing information to one or more customer terminals 100 who have input a request for reservation of facility use (S60). That is, since one or more customer terminals 100 who input a request for a facility use reservation request a facility use reservation almost simultaneously, coupon quota sharing information with the same contents will be transmitted. Of course, if there is a difference in the time at which the request for facility use reservation is received, the server 500 will transmit the coupon quota sharing information that is not the same to the customer terminals 100 .

Accordingly, one or more customer terminals 100 based on the received coupon quota sharing information, by generating a screen displaying information on affiliated stores where coupons can be used at the current time and remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store, display unit 140 display on the At this time, for example, the display unit 140 of the customer terminal 100 displays a list of affiliate stores where coupons can be used at the current time, and a list of affiliate stores sorted in ascending order of remaining coupon usage is displayed on the screen. can As another example, as illustrated in FIG. 3 , the display unit 140 of the customer terminal 100 may display a screen for intuitively grasping remaining coupon quota information for each affiliated store where coupons can be used.

Accordingly, after confirming the contents of the screen on the display unit 140, the customer reserves the use of facilities for a specific affiliated store. At this time, the customer terminal 100 inputs facility use reservation information including, for example, affiliate stores to be reserved, reservation time, vehicle number, and the like. When facility use reservation for a specific affiliated store is completed, the above-described facility use reservation information is transmitted to the server 500 .

Accordingly, the server 500 receives facility use reservation information (S62).

Thereafter, when the reservation date for facility use arrives, the customer goes to the affiliated store to use the facility, and when the facility usage is completed, the customer pays for a discount using a coupon or the like. Then, the customer terminal 100 or the facility management device 300 transmits the number of coupons used to pay the facility usage fee to the server 500 as coupon usage information.

Accordingly, the server 500 receives coupon usage information (S64).

After that, it returns to step S54 and repeats the operation from that step.

Although not shown in FIG. 8 , if necessary, the server 500 may generate a confirmation message one day before the reservation date for facility use after requesting a facility use reservation, and transmit the confirmation message to the customer terminal 100 that has reserved facility use. In addition, in order to minimize or prevent no-show, the server 500 may impose a predetermined penalty on the customer if the customer does not use the facility on the reservation date without any notice after reservation.

In addition, the above-described coupon quota sharing-based facility use service providing method of the present invention can be implemented as computer readable code on a computer readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all types of recording devices in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of computer-readable recording media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, and optical data storage devices. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium is distributed in computer systems connected through a network, so that computer-readable codes can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. In addition, functional programs, codes, and code segments for implementing the method can be easily inferred by programmers in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
