Description

Method of using bonus points to deduct rent and bonus point processing server

The present invention relates to a method of bonus point processing.

General stores often work with other players, such as bankers who place ATMs in stores, or computer gamers who place computer game consoles in stores.

The mode of cooperation between the two parties is basically a free mode, or one party pays rent, or the profit is debited.

It is easy for a well-known business owner or a company with a large scale to negotiate with the store, but it is very difficult for small owners. For example, a small owner wants to place a certain machine in a store, and persuading the store that the machine is good for the store requires the store to pay rent. But for the store, the small owners are not reliable, or the market forecasts of small owners are more likely to fail, and the risk of renting is too great. So this kind of problem is not easy to solve.

In addition, the use of bonus points is very common in commercial use. The application of bonus points is to reduce the price of goods purchased by consumers, or to exchange items with bonus points. No one has ever brainstormed the combination of bonus points and deductible rents.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a method of deducting rent using bonus points.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention is for renting an electronic device in at least one store, and the at least one store can input at least one consumer's redemption bonus point to the electronic device at any time, and the electronic device will redeem the bonus point transfer. a bonus point processing server, wherein the method is performed by the bonus point processing server, the method comprising: accepting a rent setting price, the rent setting price is a price for renting the electronic device to the at least one store; Accepting the bonus points transmitted by the electronic device, such as the consumer to the store to redeem the bonus points for a commodity or deducting the consumption amount; accumulating the bonus points; and calculating the value of all bonus points on a settlement date, To calculate the rent that the at least one store should pay for renting the electronic device, wherein the bonus point is used to offset part or all of the rent.

In order to enable the reviewing committee to better understand the technical contents of the present invention, a preferred embodiment will be described below.

Please refer to FIG. 1 for an environment diagram of the application of the present invention.

The bonus point processing server 10 is coupled to a plurality of electronic devices 30 via a network 90. Each electronic device 30 is placed in a store, and the store pays rent to rent the electronic device 30. In this embodiment, the electronic device 30 is, for example, like a lithographic computer, for handling consumer to store redemption points.

For example, in the case of the application of the present invention, for example, one company implements a situation in which a consumer receives a bonus, and each store is a franchisee, for example, a franchise is obtained for every franchisee to purchase 20 points per 100 yuan. The sponsor himself controls or owns the bonus point processing server 10, and the merchant rents the electronic device 30 to the sponsor. In the mode of operation, the consumer has a membership card (such as a smart card, an RFID card, a chip card), and stores the bonus points through the electronic device 30 (with a card reader) during consumption, and also exchanges the electronic device 30. Bonus points. The electronic device 30 can be a general small computer, and the electronic device 30 of such a function is a conventional technique, and is not an important point of improvement of the present invention, and therefore will not be described herein.

The bonus point processing server 10 is the same as or similar to the hardware architecture of the general server. The bonus point processing server 10 basically includes a processor 11, a memory 12, a screen 13, and a network connection device 14. The software program 121 (such as application software, system program) is stored in the memory 12, so that the processor 11 can execute the software program 121.

Please refer to FIG. 2 for a flowchart of the present invention, and also refer to FIG. 3 together.

Step S1: The rent sets the price.

Referring to FIG. 2, the rent point management database 20 includes the following fields: store 21, rent 22, number of redeemed points 23, and rent payable 24. The store's 21-column record stores each name or code, and the rent 22-story record rents the set price. For the purposes of this example, the annual rent for each store is 15,000. The rent point management database 20 is stored in the memory 12 (such as a hard disk) of the bonus point processing server 10.

Step S2:

The electronic device 30 transmits the redeemed bonus points to the bonus point processing server 10.

For example, if a consumer redeems a bonus point to redeem a commodity or deducts the amount of the purchase (to obtain a price lower than the price of the store's purchase), the consumer can exchange the bonus card with the membership card through the electronic device 30 (so the consumer previously The accumulated bonus points are reduced. At this time, the electronic device 30 can transmit the redeemed bonus points to the bonus point processing server 10.

Step S3:

The bonus point processing server 10 accumulates bonus points.

For example, the bonus points transmitted from the electronic device 30 of the store ABC, the bonus point processing server 10 increases the number of redeemed points 23 transmitted from the number of redeemed points 23 of the rental point management database 20.

Steps S2 and S3 are repeated a plurality of times with time. In the present embodiment, the meanings of the steps S2a, S3a, S2b, S3b, S2c, and S3c are indicated a plurality of times.

Step S4:

The value of all bonus points is calculated on a settlement date to calculate the rent at which the at least one store owner should pay for renting the electronic device 30.

For example, if the rent point management database 20 displays the data on the settlement date, the 23 points of the redemption points of the store ABC are 400,000 points, assuming that 10 points is equal to 1 yuan, which is equivalent to the consumer's exchange of 40,000 yuan in the store ABC. Amount. Since the rent is 15,000, the rent payable 24 is calculated to be -25,000. The store ABC not only does not have to pay the rent, but can also get back the amount of 25,000 yuan (or according to the agreement, such as 10% off back to 22,500)

The invention is especially joined by merchants of many different shop owners. Since the bonus points are generated by different merchants, the redemption bonus cannot be fairly matched to each merchant (for example, a merchant only generates 90,000 points per year, but has 800,000 bonus points. In this business, the redemption can be discounted to the rent. If it is more than enough, the problem of rent and fairness can be dealt with.

To sum up, the present invention, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, shows its distinctive features of the prior art. You are requested to review the examination and express the patent as soon as possible. It should be noted that the various embodiments described above are merely illustrative for ease of explanation, and the scope of the invention is intended to be limited by the scope of the claims. It should be noted that the main spirit of the present invention is that the store can take out the convertible goods to the rent of the electronic device 30. Therefore, the record field of the exchange point 23 of FIG. 3 can of course record the equivalent amount instead of the number of points. However, the meaning is still deducted. The meaning of the so-called points in this manual (including the scope of patent application) is the meaning of “value”, which can be the specific value of the amount, the value of the commodity, or the general The word "red dividends".
