Description

Mobile coupon point accumulation method and system {MOBILE COUPON POINT EARNING METHOD AND SYSTEM}

The present invention relates to a mobile coupon point accumulation method and system.

As you know, coupons are issued for product marketing. Conventional coupons have barcodes uniformly printed on the outside of product packaging, so after purchasing a product, consumers cut out the coupon printed on the outside of the packaging and attached it to the coupon collection board. It was an analog method of earning points by inserting a coupon into the coupon box. However, the coupon accumulation method as described above has a problem in that coupons uniformly issued on product packaging can be forged and altered by printing or color copying them, resulting in duplicate accumulation.

Alternatively, after purchasing a product, the consumer prints the barcode through the coupon reader in the coupon box, inserts the coupon attached to the coupon collection plate into the coupon box, and the coupon company collects it on a specific day and sends it to a reading location to read and earn points. There was a problem that intermediate loss and missing readings could occur, the accumulation period took a considerable amount of time from collection to reading, and consumer confidence and marketing efficiency were reduced due to irregular methods.

In addition, points can be accumulated through a specific point accumulation card held by the consumer. This requires a specific point accumulation card to be issued in advance and always carried, and regardless of the consumer's choice, points can only be accumulated through specific points linked to a specific affiliate. It was a method of accumulating the convenience of the provider that had to be received.

It is printed separately from the point score, point accumulation limit, and point accumulation expiration date, and is used to accumulate points in the form of a card enclosed inside the product packaging, a sticker format attached to the inside of the product packaging, or a format printed directly on the inside of the product packaging. A step of separating and providing coupons, scanning and recognizing the individual barcode or individual QR code of the point accumulation coupon through the camera of a mobile terminal with a point accumulation app installed, and the accumulated amount, total quantity, and accumulation of the coupon A step of displaying and providing the accumulated amount, a step of selecting an affiliate to accumulate points corresponding to the recognized bar code or QR code, and a payment card number or wireless phone number of the holder of the coupon for points accumulation linked to the affiliate. It is characterized in that it consists of a step of inputting and a step of accumulating points to the selected affiliate according to the input of the payment card number or wireless phone number.

According to the present invention, by accumulating points through a mobile terminal on which a point accumulation app is installed, the inconvenience of consumers having to always carry a point accumulation card is eliminated, the point accumulation procedure is simplified, and the consumer's preference is determined by the consumer's choice. It has the effect of allowing you to earn points with affiliate points.
