The member ID reader 100 reads the member ID stored in the member card of the member who uses the service (step S01). The member ID reading device 100 transmits the acquired member ID to the point service providing device 200. At this time, the member ID reading device 100 may record the time when the member ID is acquired and transmit the time to the point service providing device 200.

The member ID receiving unit 210 receives the member ID transmitted from the member ID reading device 100 (step S02). The member ID receiving unit 210 provides the received member ID to the member ID temporary holding unit 220. At this time, when the member ID reading device 100 transmits the time when the member ID is acquired, the member ID receiving unit 210 receives the time when the member ID is acquired and provides it to the member ID temporary holding unit 220.

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 acquires the member ID provided from the member ID receiving unit 210. When the member ID temporary holding unit 220 acquires the member ID, it records the time when the member ID is acquired as the service use time when the member uses the service. The member ID temporary storage unit 220 stores the pair of the member ID and the service usage time of the member ID in the reception ID table having one entry (step S03). Further, when the member ID reading device 100 transmits the time when the member ID is acquired, the member ID temporary holding unit 220 sets the time as the service use time and holds the pair of the member ID and the service use time in the reception ID table. To do.

The point calculation unit 270 acquires the reception ID table of the member ID temporary holding unit 220 at a preset timing, and determines whether or not the reception ID table is empty. Furthermore, the point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not all member IDs included in the reception ID table have been processed (step S04).

In step S04, when the point calculation unit 270 determines that the reception ID table is empty, and when all the member IDs included in the reception ID table are processed, the processing of the point service providing system of the present invention ends. To do. If the reception ID table is not empty in step S04 and all the member IDs included in the reception ID table have not been processed, the point calculation unit 270 designates one unprocessed member ID (ID_Recv) for calculating points. (Step S05). The point calculation unit 270 provides the designated member ID (ID_Recv) and the acquired reception ID table to the simultaneous use detection unit 230.

The simultaneous use detection unit 230 holds a set time (for example, within 1 minute) for determining that the members have used the service at the same time. The simultaneous use detection unit 230 acquires the reception ID table and the designated member ID (ID_Recv) from the point calculation unit 270. Then, based on the received ID table, the simultaneous use detection unit 230 uses the service use time of the member ID (ID_Recv) designated by the point calculation unit 270 as a reference to a list of member IDs of members who have used the service within the set time ( List_Simul) is created (step S06). The simultaneous use detection unit 230 provides the created list (List_Simul) to the point calculation unit 270.

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not the acquired list (List_Simul) is empty (step S07).

When it is determined in step S07 that the list (List_Simul) is empty, the point calculation unit 270 calculates a normal point of the designated member ID (ID_Recv) (step S08). Note that the normal point calculation method is omitted because it uses an existing technique.

The point calculation unit 270 refers to the member table, and adds a normal point to the item of the current holding point related to the specified member ID (ID_Recv) (step S09).

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 deletes the designated member ID (ID_Recv) from the received ID table (step S10). The subsequent processing operation proceeds to step S04.

When it is determined in step S07 that the list (List_Simul) is not empty, the point calculation unit 270 provides the specified member ID (ID_Recv) to the group management unit 250. The group management unit 250 extracts a group including the designated member ID (ID_Recv) and creates a list (List_Group) of member IDs included in the extracted group. If the specified member ID (ID_Recv) belongs to a plurality of groups at this time, a plurality of lists (List_Group) may be created for each group, or all the groups to which the specified member ID (ID_Recv) belongs may be created. A combined list (List_Group) may be created (step S11). The group management unit 250 provides the list (List_Group) to the point calculation unit 270.

The point calculation unit 270 sets a simultaneous counter for calculating the number of simultaneous users to 1 (step S12).

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not the acquired list (List_Group) is empty. If the point calculation unit 270 has acquired a plurality of lists (List_Group), the point calculation unit 270 extracts and determines one list (List_Group) from the plurality of lists (List_Group) (step S13).

When it is determined in step S13 that the list (List_Group) is empty, the point calculation unit 270 provides the current number of simultaneous counters to the bonus management unit 260 as the number of simultaneous users. The bonus management unit 260 provides bonus points to the point calculation unit 270 based on the acquired number of simultaneous users. The point calculation unit 270 acquires bonus points (step S14).

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not all lists (List_Group) to which the designated member ID (ID_Recv) belongs have been processed when a plurality of lists have been acquired (step S15). If all the lists have not been processed, the process proceeds to step S12. If all the lists are processed, the process proceeds to step S16.

The point calculation unit 270 deletes all member IDs remaining in the list (List_Simul) (step S16).

The point calculation unit 270 calculates a normal point of the designated member ID (ID_Recv). The point calculation unit 270 adds the normal points and the acquired bonus points to the item of the currently held points related to the member ID (ID_Recv) designated in the member table (step S17). The subsequent processing operation proceeds to step S04.

When it is determined in step S13 that the list (List_Group) is not empty, the point calculation unit 270 extracts one member ID (ID_Group) from the list (List_Group) (step S18).

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not the retrieved member ID (ID_Group) is included in the list (List_Simul) (step S19).

If it is not included in the list (List_Simul) in step S19, the point calculation unit 270 deletes the member ID (ID_Group) extracted from the list (List_Group) (step S20). The subsequent processing operation proceeds to step S13.

In step S19, when it is included in the list (List_Simul), the point calculation unit 270 increments the simultaneous counter (step S21). Then, the point calculation unit 270 deletes the member ID (ID_Group) extracted from the list (List_Simul) (step S22). However, when the point calculation unit 270 has acquired a plurality of lists (List_Group), it is not deleted. The subsequent processing operation proceeds to step S20.

The bonus point providing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention can grant bonus points to each member when members belonging to an arbitrary group use the service within a certain period of time. Bonus points can be increased according to the number of members belonging to an arbitrary group that has used the service within a certain period of time. That is, the bonus point providing system of the present invention can be expected to increase the loyalty of members by giving bonus points and to attract customers more by motivation to use the service with a larger number of people. Furthermore, according to the present invention, when the time for determining that the member is used at the same time is lengthened (for example, 24 hours), the member assumes that the member of the group is using the member without inviting the member of the group. You can also expect to use the service with the expectation that you can earn bonus points.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment of the present invention, a group is arbitrarily set by a member. In the second embodiment, the point service provider can arbitrarily set a group. The second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the member table that the member management unit 240 has, but the other configuration examples are the same as those in the first embodiment shown in FIG. It is the same.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a member table stored in the member management unit 240 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 8, the member table includes items of member ID, age, sex, address, and current holding points. The items of member ID and current possession point are the same as in the first embodiment. The member table includes an age, a gender, and an address as a member profile. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the member table has a member profile, so that a group can be dynamically set based on the member profile. The member profile conditions set as a group are determined by the point service provider and held by the member management unit 240. Further, the member profile is not limited to the example shown in FIG. 8, and may include, for example, an apartment name, a school name, a school year, a class, and the like. When the member management unit 240 includes a lot of personal information in the member profile, fine dynamic grouping becomes possible. For example, the membership profile conditions for a group can be that the gender is female and the age is 20-25, or that the resident of the same apartment.

The difference between the member management unit 240 and the first embodiment is that a member profile condition for a group is acquired based on an input from a point service provider and a group is set. Furthermore, the member management unit 240 acquires a member ID designated for calculating points from the point calculation unit 270. Then, the member management unit 240 creates a group ID list (List_Group) including the designated member ID, and provides it to the point calculation unit 270. When the designated member ID belongs to a plurality of groups at this time, a plurality of lists (List_Group) may be created for each group, or a list (List_Group) of all the groups to which the designated member ID belongs. May be created.

The point calculation unit 270 is different from the first embodiment in that when the member management unit 240 has set a group, the designated member ID is provided to the member management unit 240. If the member management unit 240 has not set a group, the operation is the same as in the first embodiment.

Since the processing operation according to the second embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first embodiment of the present invention, it will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7A and 7B.

Although not shown in FIG. 7A in the second embodiment of the present invention, before step S01, the member management unit 240 acquires the member profile conditions for grouping based on the input of the point service provider, and the group Set. The subsequent steps S01 to S10 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

The operation of step S11 will be described. If it is determined in step S07 that the list (List_Simul) is not empty, the point calculation unit 270 provides the specified member ID (ID_Recv) to the member management unit 240. The member management unit 240 creates a group ID list (List_Group) including the designated member ID (ID_Recv) and provides the group to the point calculation unit 270. When the designated member ID belongs to a plurality of groups at this time, a plurality of lists (List_Group) may be created for each group, or a list (List_Group) of all the groups to which the designated member ID belongs. May be created. When the member management unit 240 has set a group, a method of calculating as bonus points considering only the list (List_Group) created by the member management unit 240 and the list (List_Group) created by the group management unit 250 Either method may be used to calculate bonus points taking both into account.
If the member management unit 240 has not set a group, the point calculation unit 270 provides the designated member ID (ID_Recv) to the group management unit 250 as in the first embodiment. Then, the group management unit 250 creates a group ID list (List_Group) including the designated member ID (ID_Recv) and provides it to the point calculation unit 270 (step S11). Processing operations after step S12 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, even if a member does not set a group, the point service provider can set an arbitrary group using the member table. Therefore, the point service provider can easily attract customers who match the sales strategy, and can effectively use grouping. Further, the present invention has an effect of improving loyalty of all members without giving an unfair feeling to members who do not have a group.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first or second embodiment of the present invention, bonus points can be changed according to the service use time zone. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the bonus management unit 260 includes a bonus multiplication rate table in addition to the bonus table. The configuration of the third embodiment of the present invention is the same as that of the first or second embodiment shown in FIG.

FIG. 9A is a diagram showing a configuration example of a bonus table stored in the bonus management unit 260 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9B is a diagram showing a configuration example of a bonus multiplier table stored in the bonus management unit 260 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The configuration of the bonus table in FIG. 9A is the same as that in FIG. 5 described in the first embodiment. The bonus multiplier table shown in FIG. 9B defines multipliers for calculating bonus increments for bonus points. Referring to FIG. 9B, the bonus multiplication factor table includes items of a use time zone and a multiplication factor. The item of use time zone indicates a time zone in which the member uses the service. The multiplication factor item indicates a value to be multiplied by the bonus points. For example, if a member who is given 100 bonus points uses the service from 6:00 am to 8:00 am, the multiplication factor is 100%, and bonus points with a further increment of 100 points are added. It will be. That is, according to the third embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to calculate a bonus point that is further added to the bonus point based on a multiplication factor based on a time zone in which the service is used.

The bonus management unit 260 is different from the first or second embodiment in that a usage time zone is acquired from the point calculation unit 270 in addition to the number of simultaneous users. The bonus management unit 260 extracts bonus points corresponding to the number of simultaneous users from the bonus table and provides them to the point calculation unit 270. Further, the bonus management unit 260 extracts the multiplication factor from the bonus multiplication factor table based on the use time zone, and provides it to the point calculation unit 270.

The point calculation unit 270 is different from the first or second embodiment in that it calculates a bonus point with a percentage increment. The point calculation unit 270 provides the bonus management unit 260 with the time the member used the service in addition to the number of simultaneous users. The time when the service is used is included in the reception ID table acquired by the point calculation unit 270. Then, the point calculation unit 270 acquires the bonus points and the multiplication rate from the bonus management unit 260, and calculates bonus points with a percentage increase according to the member's usage time zone. The point calculation unit 270 adds the normal points, bonus points, and bonus points with the percentage increase to the current holding points of the member management unit 240.

FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B are flowcharts showing the processing operation according to the third embodiment of the point service providing system of the present invention. A processing operation according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 10A and 10B.

The member management unit 240 acquires a member profile condition for a group based on the input of the point service provider, and sets the group. At this time, a plurality of groups may be set (step A01). Subsequent steps A02 to A14 are the same as steps S01 to S13 in the first or second embodiment, and thus the description thereof is omitted. If the group condition is not acquired, step A01 is not performed and the process proceeds to step A02.

Step A15 to step A18 will be described. If it is determined in step A14 that the list (List_Group) is empty, the point calculation unit 270 provides the current number of simultaneous counters to the bonus management unit 260 as the number of simultaneous users. Further, the point calculation unit 270 extracts the reception time of the designated member ID (ID_Recv) from the reception ID table and provides it to the bonus management unit 260. The bonus management unit 260 extracts bonus points from the bonus table based on the acquired number of simultaneous users and provides the points to the point calculation unit 270. Further, the bonus management unit 260 extracts the multiplication factor from the bonus multiplication factor table based on the reception time, and provides it to the point calculation unit 270. The point calculation unit 270 acquires bonus points and multiplication factors. Based on the bonus points and the multiplication factor, the point calculation unit 270 calculates the bonus points with the percent increase according to the member's usage time zone (step A15).

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not all the lists (List_Group) to which the designated member ID (ID_Recv) belongs have been processed when a plurality of lists are acquired (step A16). If all the lists have not been processed, the process proceeds to step A13. When all the lists are processed, the process proceeds to step A17.

The point calculation unit 270 deletes all member IDs remaining in the list (List_Simul) (step A17).

The point calculation unit 270 calculates a normal point of the designated member ID (ID_Recv). The point calculation unit 270 adds a normal point, a bonus point, and a bonus point with a percentage increment to the item of the current holding point related to the member ID (ID_Recv) designated in the member table (step A18). Subsequent processing operations proceed to step A05 as in the first or second embodiment of the present invention. Further, subsequent steps A19 to A23 are the same as steps S18 to S22 of the first or second embodiment, and thus description thereof is omitted.

In the third embodiment of the present invention, in addition to the first or second embodiment, bonus points in percent increments can be added to the bonus points. Therefore, the point service providing system of the present invention can be expected to attract customers in a time zone intended by the point service provider (for example, a time zone in which sales are low or a time zone in which a product is desired to be sold out).

Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, as in the first to third embodiments, the group including the member ID (first member ID) designated by the member management unit 240 and the group management unit 250 is extracted. In addition, bonus points can be given to each member without creating a list (List_Group) of member IDs included in the extracted group.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a point service providing system according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 11, the group management unit 250 is not included as compared with the first to third embodiments shown in FIG. 1, but the other configuration examples are the same. The operations of the member management unit 240 and the point calculation unit 270 are different from those of the first to third embodiments, and will be described below.

The member management unit 240 has all information related to the member ID of the point service providing system of the present invention, as in the first to third embodiments of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. Yes. The member management unit 240 is different from the first to third embodiments of the present invention in that the group including the designated member ID (first member ID) is extracted, and the members included in the extracted group It is not necessary to create a list of IDs (List_Group).

The point calculation unit 270 is different from the first to third embodiments in that a count table is generated based on a member table. In the fourth embodiment, bonus points can be calculated based on a count table. FIG. 12A is a diagram illustrating an example of a member table stored in the member management unit 240. FIG. 12B is a diagram illustrating an example of an initial state of the count table generated by the point calculation unit 270. FIG. 12C is a diagram illustrating the process of creating the count table. FIG. 12D is a diagram illustrating an example of completion of creation of the count table. Referring to FIGS. 12B, 12C, and 12D, the count table includes items of a group ID, a simultaneous usage counter, and a member ID. The item of the simultaneous use counter indicates the number of simultaneous users.

A method by which the point calculation unit 270 generates the count table will be described with reference to FIGS. 12A, 12B, 12C, and 12D. First, the point calculation unit 270 initializes the count table (see FIG. 12B). Next, as in the first to third embodiments, the point calculation unit 270 uses the service ID of the specified member ID (first member ID) as a reference and uses the service ID at the same time as the member ID. A list (List_Simul) of (second member ID) is acquired from the simultaneous use detection unit 230. Here, it is assumed that the member ID 5 is designated as the member ID (first member ID), and all members from the member ID 1 to the member ID 4 are included in the list of member IDs (List_Simul). The point calculation unit 270 extracts one arbitrary member ID from the list of member IDs (List_Simul). An example in which the member ID 1 is extracted will be described with reference to FIG. 12C. When the point calculation unit 270 retrieves the member ID1, the point calculation unit 270 refers to the member table of the member management unit 240 illustrated in FIG. 12A and extracts the group IDs G1 and G2 to which the member ID1 belongs. The point calculation unit 270 sets the simultaneous usage counter corresponding to group IDs G1 and G2 of the count table to 1. Also, member ID 1 is set in the item of member ID. The point calculation unit 270 similarly sets all of the member IDs 2 to 4 included in the member ID list (List_Simul). Subsequently, the point calculation unit 270 extracts the group IDs G2 and G4 to which the designated member ID 5 belongs, and increments the simultaneous use counter. Further, the member ID 5 is set in the member ID item. In this way, the point calculation unit 270 generates a count table (see FIG. 12D). The point calculation unit 270 provides the bonus management unit 260 with the number of simultaneous usage counters including the designated member ID 5. In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, it is not necessary to manage groups using the group management unit 250, and the number of simultaneous users and member IDs of each group can be calculated with simpler management. Note that the count table only needs to be created each time a bonus point is calculated, and the point calculation unit 270 may not always manage.

FIGS. 13A and 13B are flowcharts showing processing operations according to the fourth embodiment of the point service providing system of the present invention. A processing operation according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 13A and 13B.

Since step B01 to step B11 in FIG. 13A are the same as step A01 to step A11 of the third embodiment, description thereof is omitted.

The operation of Step B12 will be described. If it is determined in step B08 that the list (List_Simul) is not empty, the point calculation unit 270 starts generating a count table. The point calculation unit 270 initializes the count table (step B12).

The point calculation unit 270 extracts one arbitrary member ID from the list (List_Simul). The point calculation unit 270 refers to the member table of the member management unit 240 and extracts the group ID to which the extracted arbitrary member ID belongs. The point calculation unit 270 increments the simultaneous usage counter corresponding to the extracted group ID included in the count table. In addition, an arbitrary member ID extracted in the member ID item is set (step B13).

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not all member IDs included in the list (List_Simul) have been processed (step B14).

In step B14, if all member IDs have not been processed, step B13 is repeated. If all member IDs have been processed, the process proceeds to step B15. If all the member IDs are processed, the point calculation unit 270 extracts the group ID to which the designated member ID (ID_Recv) belongs and adds it to the count table. When the processing of the designated member ID (ID_Recv) is completed, the point calculation unit 270 completes the creation of the count table (step B15).

The point calculation unit 270 provides the bonus management unit 260 with the number of concurrent usage counters including the designated member ID (ID_Recv) as the number of concurrent users based on the created count table. The bonus management unit 260 extracts bonus points from the bonus table based on the acquired number of simultaneous users and provides the points to the point calculation unit 270. The point calculation unit 270 acquires bonus points. At this time, the point calculation unit 270 may operate so as to acquire a multiplication factor of bonus points based on the reception time. When the multiplication factor is acquired, the point calculation unit 270 calculates a bonus point with a percentage increment (step B16).

The point calculation unit 270 calculates normal points. The point calculation unit 270 adds the normal points and bonus points to the item of the current holding points related to the designated member ID. If a bonus point of percent increase is included, that amount is also added (step B17).

The point calculation unit 270 refers to the count table and determines whether or not all simultaneous usage counters including the designated member ID (ID_Recv) have been processed (step B18).

In step B18, if all the simultaneous use counters including the designated member ID have been processed, the process proceeds to step B05. If all the simultaneous usage counters including the designated member ID have not been processed, the process proceeds to step B16. When all the simultaneous usage counters are processed, the point calculation unit 270 may discard the count table.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, each time a point is calculated, a count table may be created based on a member table, and there is no need to separately manage a group table. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the number of simultaneous users and the member ID of each group with simpler management. Furthermore, even when one member belongs to a plurality of groups, it is possible to combine them with one count table, so that efficient processing is possible.

Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The fifth embodiment of the present invention is a method for generating a list (List_Sim) of member IDs (second member IDs) that use a service at the same time as compared to the first to fourth embodiments. Is a change. The fifth embodiment of the present invention is the same as the first to third (refer to FIG. 1) or fourth (refer to FIG. 11) configurations of the present invention. Further, since the operations of the member ID temporary holding unit 220 and the simultaneous use detecting unit 230 are different from those of the first to fourth embodiments, description will be given below.

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 receives a member ID acquisition start and acquisition end based on an input from the input device 30 by a point service provider or the like. The member ID temporary holding unit 220 acquires the member ID provided from the member ID receiving unit 210, but stores the member ID acquired between the acquisition start and the acquisition end of the member ID in the reception ID table. At this time, the reception ID table stores only the member ID and may not include the service use time. When calculating bonus points based on the service use time, it is assumed that the service use time is included. The member ID temporary storage unit 220 provides the reception ID table to the point calculation unit 270. The timing at which the member ID temporary holding unit 220 provides the reception ID table is preferably when the end of reading the member ID is received. Further, the member ID temporary holding unit 220 may have a plurality of reception ID tables at the same time. For example, when there are a plurality of member ID readers 100, it may be possible to create a reception ID table for each member ID reader 100. As a specific example, it is assumed that a member ID reader 100 is installed in each room of a karaoke box. Assume that the member ID temporary holding unit 220 has a reception ID table for each room. The member who is a user of the karaoke box confirms the start of acquisition of the member ID provided from the karaoke box, and causes the member ID reader 100 to read the member ID. The member ID receiving unit 210 provides the acquired member ID to the member ID temporary holding unit 220. The member ID temporary holding unit 220 stores the member ID in the reception ID table for each room. The member ID temporary storage unit 220 provides the corresponding reception ID table to the point calculation unit 270 based on the information on the end of acquisition of the member ID.

The simultaneous use detection unit 230 acquires the received ID table and the member ID (first member ID) designated for calculating the points from the point calculation unit 270. The simultaneous use detecting unit 230 determines that all member IDs included in the acquired reception ID table have used the service at the same time, and does not include the designated member ID (first member ID) (second member ID). A member ID) list (List_Simul) is created. The simultaneous use detection unit 230 provides the created list (List_Simul) to the point calculation unit 270. In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, it is determined that all member IDs stored in the reception ID table have used the service at the same time. That is, it does not require a set time for determining that the members have used the service at the same time, and it is possible to determine that the service has been used at the same time by a method other than the time. Therefore, after processing all member IDs included in the reception ID table, the reception ID table is emptied.

FIG. 14A and FIG. 14B are flowcharts showing processing operations according to the fifth embodiment of the point service providing system of the present invention. Processing operations according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 14A and 14B. Note that step C01 is the same as step A01 of the third embodiment, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 receives information on the start of acquiring the member ID based on the input from the input device 30 by the point service provider or the like (step C02).

The member ID reader 100 reads the member ID stored in the member card of the member who uses the service, as in the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention (step C03). The member ID reading device 100 transmits the acquired member ID to the point service providing device 200. At this time, the member ID reading device 100 may record the time when the member ID is acquired and transmit it to the point service providing device 200.

The member ID receiving unit 210 receives the member ID transmitted from the member ID reading device 100 (step C04). The member ID receiving unit 210 provides the received member ID to the member ID temporary holding unit 220. At this time, when the member ID reading device 100 transmits the time when the member ID is acquired, the member ID receiving unit 210 may receive the time when the member ID is acquired and provide it to the member ID temporary holding unit.

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 stores the acquired member ID in the reception table (step C05). At this time, the reception table stores the member ID, but the service use time may not be included.

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 receives information on the end of acquisition of the member ID based on the input from the input device 30 by the point service provider or the like (step C06).

The member ID temporary holding unit 220 ends the acquisition of the member ID and provides the received ID table to the point calculation unit 270 (step C07).

The point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not the acquired reception ID table is empty (step C08).

In step C08, when the point calculation unit 270 determines that the reception ID table is empty, the processing of the point service providing system of the present invention ends. If the reception ID table is not empty in step C08, the point calculation unit 270 determines whether or not all member IDs in the reception ID table have been processed (step C09).

In step C09, when the point calculation unit 270 determines that all the member IDs included in the reception ID table have been processed, the member ID temporary holding unit 220 empties the reception ID table and ends the processing (step C10).

In step C09, when the point calculation unit 270 determines that all the member IDs included in the reception ID table have not been processed, the point calculation unit 270 sets one member ID (ID_Recv) for calculating an unprocessed point. Are designated (step C11).

The point calculation unit 270 provides the reception ID table and the designated member ID (ID_Recv) to the simultaneous use detection unit 230. The simultaneous use detection unit 230 determines that all member IDs included in the acquired reception ID table have used the service at the same time, and creates a list of member IDs (List_Simul) (step C12). The list (List_Simul) does not include the member ID (ID_Recv). The simultaneous use detection unit 230 provides the created list (List_Simul) to the point calculation unit 270. The processing from step C13 to step C15 is the same as that from step S07 to step S09 in the first embodiment of the present invention, and thus description thereof is omitted.

In step C13, when the point calculation unit 270 determines that the list (List_Simul) is not empty, the process proceeds to step C16. Similar to the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention, the point calculation unit 270 provides the designated member ID (ID_Recv) to the group management unit 250. The group management unit 250 extracts a group including the designated member ID (ID_Recv) and creates a list (List_Group) of member IDs included in the extracted group. If the specified member ID (ID_Recv) belongs to a plurality of groups at this time, a plurality of lists (List_Group) may be created for each group, or all the groups to which the specified member ID (ID_Recv) belongs may be created. A combined list (List_Group) may be created (step C16). The processing from step C17 to step C27 is the same as that from step A13 to step A23 of the third embodiment of the present invention, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Further, the processing operations from step B13 to step B18 of the fourth embodiment of the present invention can be used for the processing after step C13.

In the fifth embodiment of the present invention, it is determined that all the member IDs stored in the reception ID table have used the service at the same time. That is, it does not require a set time for determining that the members have used the service at the same time, and it is possible to determine that the service has been used at the same time by a method other than the time. That is, the fifth embodiment of the present invention has an effect that it is easy to provide bonus points flexibly because the point service provider can arbitrarily determine the period regarded as the same period.

In the point service providing system according to the first to fifth embodiments of the present invention, when members belonging to an arbitrary group use the service, it is possible to grant bonus points to each member. Motivation can be expected to improve membership loyalty and increase service usage opportunities. The embodiments of the present invention can be combined within a consistent range. The point service providing system of the present invention can also be used for a mileage service or the like.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes that can be understood by those skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present invention within the scope of the present invention.
