As a result, they carry only a minimum amount of cash or traveller's checks, and there is anxiety about unexpected situations. Many people use credit cards, but sometimes they can't know whether they are dealing with their credit cards at restaurants or shops. <7> Credit cards can be used in most shops and restaurants in Korea, but they are often not the case in Japan or China. In particular, in Japan, restaurants that are known as attractions cannot be accepted by credit cards. Credit card payment receipts can serve as proof of this, and if you have an unfair charge at a foreign destination, you can clearly see how much you have used it. All.

However, there has been no service so far, for example, when a Korean travels abroad, whether or not they can pay with a credit card at a store or restaurant that they want to visit.

On the other hand, recently, online discount coupons using social commerce are actively provided, which is still only for domestic users. In line with the growing trend of overseas travelers, it is also necessary to issue coupons and establish an environment for overseas users.

<10> Travelers are ready to spend within their budget. However, until now, these mobile travelers have not been provided with the proper mobile environment. Consumption is difficult for travelers who do not have a free language.

<1 1> Recently, a service that enables customers to order goods or food online using a convenient communication environment or payment system has been provided. However, the overseas travel environment is very different from the convenient domestic environment. It would be nice if the entire process from ordering to payment was done online, but in practice it is not feasible. Currently, there is an urgent need for mobile device-based ordering services that are most needed and can be used universally in many foreign countries.
