Definitions
- the voucher terminal comprises means for outputting a data-bearing voucher, which may take the form of a paper ticket bearing a printed code that is readable by a suitable scanner or camera device of the POS terminal. Additionally or alternatively, the voucher terminal may comprise a processor for generating a machine-readable code that is displayable on the screen of a user's portable computing device. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the voucher terminal interfaces with an internal, or web-based, mobile telephony device for sending an SMS message or multimedia message to the mobile telephone of a user, which message comprises a code that can be displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, which code can be scanned and read by a scanner of the POS terminal.
- a known voucher system 10 is shown in Figure 1, in which a voucher scheme provider 12 offers vouchers or coupons 14 to customers 16 via post 18, e-mail 20 or attached to product packaging 22. A customer 16 can thus obtain a voucher 14 from a scheme provider 12 for redemption at a retail establishment 24.
