1 is a block diagram of a bar code instant stored value system 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the bar code instant stored value system 100 includes a central server 110, a cash register device 120, and a vendor server 130. In the architecture, the dealer server 140 is connected to the vendor server 130, the vendor server 130 is connected to the central server 110, the cash register device 120 is disposed in the store 190, and the cash register device 120 is connected to the central server 110. 122 may scan the barcode displayed by the user device 150.

In practice, for example, the user device 150 can be a mobile device or other electronic device, the vendor server 130 can be a game manufacturer server or other system server, and the store 190 can be a convenience store (eg, a family convenience store). The cash register device 120 can be an electronic cash register, and the central server 110 can facilitate the server at the store headquarters, but the present invention is not limited to convenience stores.

In use, the user can connect to the vendor server 130 through the user device 150, and the vendor server 130 can input the stored value content (for example, the stored value account, the number of stored value points, etc.) of the user device 150, the vendor server. The 130 transmits the recorded data to the central server 110 based on the stored value content, causes the central server 110 to return the checkout barcode and sends the checkout barcode to the vendor server 130, and the vendor server 130 transmits the checkout barcode to the user device 150. Thereby, the user can obtain the checkout barcode.

Next, the user can go to the store 190 to complete the payment. Specifically, the user can present the checkout barcode through the user device 150 and pay the clerk. When the scanning device 122 of the cash register device 120 scans the checkout barcode, the cash register device 120 performs a checkout operation to verify through the central server 110.
