- the exchange rate calculation unit 260 calculates the ratio of the amount of common points after the exchange to the amount of store points to be exchanged, and calculates the calculated ratio as the exchange rate.
- an appropriate exchange rate corresponding to the amount of store points to be exchanged can be accurately calculated in advance prior to the exchange process and displayed to the user.
- the exchange rate is set to an appropriate value in consideration of not only the store point distribution trend but also the common point distribution trend. Can be changed. As a result, the balance between supply and demand for store points and common points can be maintained, and exchange for common points can be suppressed as necessary.
- the amount of common points issued from each store can be controlled according to the credit of the store. For example, it is possible to prevent a store with little track record of receiving store points from issuing a large amount of common points that exceed the store's credit.
- FIG. 10 shows an example of exchange processing performed between the store points and the common points in S750 and S770.
- the acquisition history recording unit 210 issues store identification information for identifying a store that can use the store point and store point for each store point acquired by the user in association with a tag ID for identifying the user.
- Information indicating the issued date, the expiration date for using the store point for payment, and the number of points acquired for the store point are stored in association with each other. For example, the user gets 50 points for SBD Denki store points and then 150 points.
- the remaining point display unit 290 calculates the total number of acquired points, which is the total number of acquired points of the store points, for each store identification information recorded in the acquired history recording unit 210, and calculates the total acquired The number of points is displayed for each store. As a result, for example, SBD Denki store points are totaled and displayed as 200 points on the mobile phone 30-1.
- the point exchange processing unit 280 performs a process of collectively exchanging SBD Denki store points to a common point based on a user instruction received from the mobile phone 30-1. . Specifically, the point exchange processing unit 280 causes the acquisition history recording unit 210 to record “G”, which is exchanged instruction information indicating that it has been exchanged for a common point, at the head of the store identification information. As a result, the acquisition history recording unit 210 records common points instead of the two store points of SBD Denki.
- the mobile phone 30-1 displays 172 points as the total number of acquired common points instead of the total number of acquired points of SBD Denki.
- the point exchange processing unit 280 performs a process of exchanging the common points for the store points of the YBB store based on the user's instructions received from the mobile phone 30-1. Do. Specifically, the point exchange processing unit 280 causes the acquisition history recording unit 210 to record information indicating that further redemption is performed from the common point, store identification information of the exchange destination, and store identification information at the exchange source. As a result, the acquisition history recording unit 210 records the store points indicated by G—YBB—SBD instead of the common points indicated by G—SBD.
- the remaining point display unit 290 obtains the total number of points acquired by summing the points of YBB stores already acquired and the points of YBB stores newly acquired by exchange, Displayed at 30-1.
- the acquisition history recording unit 210 records the history of acquiring store points. For this reason, it is possible to take out only the store points acquired at a specific time and perform processing such as expiration date determination or exchange. For example, the acquisition history recording unit 210 records the acquisition point amount of store points in association with the acquisition date. As a result, it is possible to take out only the store points corresponding to a specific date and time and make a judgment regarding the expiration date. Instead, the acquisition history recording unit 210 may record the store point acquisition history in association with the number of times of acquisition. In this case, the store points acquired at a specific number of times can be exchanged or processed for expiration date.
- the acquisition history recording unit 210 records the store identification information of the exchange source store even when the store point is exchanged for a common point. As a result, it is possible to determine from which store point the common point is exchanged, and therefore it is possible to prevent the common point exchanged from the store point from being exchanged for the same store point again.
- the remaining point display unit 290 displays the total amount of store points for each store to the user. This makes it possible to provide a user-friendly interface.
- points in various stores can be obtained by using only a single device such as a mobile phone that does not require a conventional point card. Service can be realized.
- an appropriate value is given to the points issued by each store according to the distribution trend of the points. Can be determined.
- store points issued at one store can be exchanged for store points at other stores, and the value of points and the effectiveness of point services can be improved.
- FIG. 11 shows an exemplary hardware configuration of a computer 500 that functions as the point management device 20.
- the computer 500 includes a CPU peripheral unit having a CPU 1000, a RAM 1020, and a graphic controller 1075 connected to each other by the host controller 1082, a communication interface 1030, a hard disk drive 1040, and the like connected to the host controller 1082 by the input / output controller 1084.
- An input / output unit having a CD-ROM drive 1060 and a legacy input / output unit having a BIOS 1010 connected to an input / output controller 1084, a flexible disk drive 1050, and an input / output chip 1070 are provided.
- the host controller 1082 connects the RAM 1020 to the CPU 1000 and the graphic controller 1075 that access the RAM 1020 at a high transfer rate.
- the CPU 1000 operates based on programs stored in the BIOS 1010 and the RAM 1020, and controls each part.
- the graphic controller 1075 acquires image data generated by the CPU 1000 or the like on a frame buffer provided in the RAM 1020 and displays it on the display device 1080.
- the graphic controller 1075 may include a frame buffer for storing image data generated by the CPU 1000 or the like.
