Abstract

[Problem] To provide a technique that enables a settlement process to be performed on the basis of an incentive which is supplied from a company to an employee when the employee carries out consumption defined by the company. [Solution] An incentive processing device 1 according to the present invention acquires, from a personnel attendance payroll calculation device 3, an employee ID and incentive information indicating an incentive value supplied to each employee, and registers the incentive information in association with the employee ID in an incentive balance information DB 24. Then, the incentive processing device acquires, from a settlement terminal 2, consumption information which includes employee information, consumption amount information, and a consumption destination ID, and determines whether or not a consumption destination specified on the basis of the consumption destination ID satisfies a consumption condition defined by a company. As a result, when determining that the consumption destination satisfies the consumption condition, the incentive processing device obtains a balance by subtracting the consumption amount information from the incentive information registered in the incentive balance information DB, and registers the balance in association with the employee ID in the incentive balance information DB.

Description

Incentive processing apparatus, incentive processing method, incentive processing system, and computer program therefor

The present invention is intended to improve the real wages of employees by providing employers with incentives for consumption promotion, regional revitalization, and business partner support, as the employer company. The technology is aimed at improving the sales of countries, regions and business partners through consumption by incentives and supporting economic revitalization.

In many developed countries, the population is concentrated in urban areas, and suburbs and rural areas are depopulated due to population outflows, and it is required to strengthen the financial base. At present, the government and local administrations are conducting business invitations for regional revitalization and actively providing subsidies and loans to businesses.
Also, in developing countries, in order to create employment, companies are attracted, entrepreneurial investments, and loans are actively provided with funds from developed countries.

However, the current situation is that we do not know that such subsidies and loans are being used correctly. For example, there are many cases where malicious business owners and entrepreneurs misappropriate and subsidize subsidies and loans, and spend money outside the business, which is part of philanthropists and national finances. The organizations that are supporting using are in a situation where they have a head.

On the other hand, there are many companies that are actively trying to provide economic support to local areas and business partners where companies exist. In other words, companies are inseparably connected with the local community regardless of their size, and if the region improves, it also leads to the improvement of the business environment of the companies, so efforts to contribute to local communities are becoming important. In addition to being rooted in the local community, it is also important for companies to continue mutual development by establishing relationships of coexistence and prosperity with business partners.

Therefore, companies encourage employees to consume (shopping) in local areas and customers, but if they do not feel their merits, they do not feel like they will consume in local areas or customers . Also, companies do not have a way to figure out how much they are paying local areas and customers. If this payment amount can be grasped, the company can show the specific amount to the local area and customers and show the degree of contribution, but there is a problem that the company is difficult to be evaluated because there is no such means. It is the present condition.

In addition, there are many employees who want to contribute to business partners and local areas, as well as the company they work for. However, even if an employee purchases and consumes a product or service in the company where he / she works, or in a customer or local area, the employee is also hard to be evaluated because there is no means to prove the information he / she contributed. It is the present condition that we have trouble.

By the way, in recent years, there is known a payroll calculation system which calculates payroll of an employee in real time by using an attendance management system which acquires information such as time and attendance of the employee via the Internet (see, for example, patent document 1) ). In such a payroll calculation system, the compensation for labor provided by the employee is calculated based on the employee's attendance and leaving information acquired by the attendance management system, and the public collected amount such as tax and insurance pension is deducted. In addition, overtime pay, commuting allowance, dependent allowance, etc. are calculated, and the amount of payment is calculated and paid to the employees.

In addition, payment is calculated on a daily basis in real time, and based on the salary compensation amount (that is, labor receivables) which is the compensation for the employee's labor, it is possible to make shopping before the scheduled salary payment (that is, usable for consumption) A treatment method is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2). In other words, this payment processing method enables the contractor to shop anytime according to the salary payment amount, postpaid the consumption fee on payday, repay for the company or financial institution, and earn less income. Were born to avoid having to borrow money with high interest rates.

Such a payment processing method is also effective for the consumption of employees who do not have an account at a financial institution. In other words, according to the World Bank's 2014 Financial Inclusion Database (Global Findex) report, it is estimated that there are 2 billion adults who do not have an account at a financial institution such as a bank. Therefore, if financial services are not provided to the people, poverty and inequality can not be reduced, and the concept to create a world that achieves the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations can not be realized. It is said.

Therefore, the issue is the payment of salaries to employees who do not have a bank account. Currently, employees who do not have a bank account are paid cash in cash, but in developing countries, reducing cash that is a hotbed of counterfeit bills, bribes, tax evasion and theft, and digital money (electronic money) The number of countries switching to is rapidly increasing. Therefore, from the conventional payment means for shopping with cash provided, the need for means for direct payment by means of salary paid with digital money, like the above-mentioned payment processing method, is rapidly increasing.

In addition, it is also contemplated to combine payroll with digital money based on blockchain technology with payment services. According to this, the paid salary was issued by which financial institution in which country, which company, when, how much, where it was procured, and how much it is in the company's electronic wallet. Also, at the same time, it is possible to know in real time how much salary an employee was paid and how much the income tax was paid to the country, and it is now possible to know how much it is in the employee's e-wallet and where it was consumed . As a result, digital money based on blockchains is difficult to avoid bribery, tax evasion, money laundering, etc., and it helps prevent crime, and for those working seriously, financial services are easily accessible, and the foundation of a fair society is It is considered to be born.

However, based on the conventionally known salary calculation system as disclosed in Patent Document 1 and the payment processing method disclosed in Patent Document 2, the use purpose such as regional contribution or customer support is limited. A mechanism that contributes to sales in specific regions, business partners, and stores through the consumption of employees by the payment of incentives and leads to the improvement of the value of companies and employees has not been proposed as far as the applicant knows.

In addition, by incorporating payroll services with digital money in the payment of benefits for which the purpose of use is limited, it is possible to prevent fraud, such as bribery, tax evasion, money laundering, theft etc., and the society is fair and orderly. It is thought that it is possible to propose a mechanism that leads to construction.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides the employee with an incentive (for example, an allowance) according to the purpose set by the company as the employer, and the employee consumes for the purpose. Purpose is to provide technology that enables payment using incentives.
In addition, the present invention also provides subsidies and subsidies aimed at regional revitalization, etc., which enables fraud prevention by this consumption activity, and provides technology for economic revitalization support that everyone who appreciates can appreciate. As a further objective.

Therefore, the inventor uses an attendance management / payroll calculation system capable of giving an allowance as an incentive, and an incentive (permission) intended for the company to have the employee consume in a specific area or customer. I thought about the mechanism to incorporate. In this system, it is possible to determine, for each employee, the available stores and business partners in the area, and the available products and services for the available period. In addition, the attendance management and payroll calculation system for giving an incentive includes the employee identification information which has been consumed, the location (area) and the store name of the store where the incentive has been sent, and the store identification transmitted by the incentive processing device of the present invention. By receiving the information and the consumption amount information, the company can bear all or part of the consumption amount as a benefit for the purpose of welfare.

That is, according to the present invention, when an employee consumes at a store or a specific business partner in a specific area, an incentive that a company refers to as a benefit allowance as a benefit benefit is that the company pays all or part of the consumption amount. It is possible to supply to employees as a means to provide a mechanism to continuously contribute to the economic activities of stores and specified business partners in a specific area to increase corporate value.

The incentive processing device according to the present invention is a device for performing processing to make a payment using an incentive that the company pays to the employee, when the employee performs the consumption defined by the company. Communication via a network to a payment terminal used when an employee settles consumption, and a personnel time and salary calculation device that calculates a salary based on the employee's attendance and leaving time and the employee's personnel and labor information It is configured to be possible.

First Embodiment
First, the basic configuration of the first incentive processing device according to the present invention will be described.
The embodiments described below are technically variously limited because they are preferable specific examples of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not particularly limited in the following description. Not limited to these forms.
Further, in the present invention, the term “consumption” is not limited to the purchase of a product, but includes the provision of a service, and includes at least a general transaction in which a fee is generated.

As shown in FIG. 1, the first incentive processing device 1A is configured to be able to communicate with the payment terminal 2 and the personnel time and pay calculation device 3 via the network NW.
The first incentive processing apparatus 1A includes an incentive information registration unit 11, an incentive payment availability determination unit 12, an incentive payment processing unit 13, and a storage unit 20, and each embodiment described later will be described. In the incentive processing device 1 according to the present invention, at least these are provided as a basis.

In addition, the storage unit 20 includes a company identification information database (hereinafter abbreviated as “company identification information DB”) 21, a consumption condition information database (hereinafter abbreviated as “consumption condition information DB”) 22, and a consumption. It comprises at least a destination information database (hereinafter abbreviated as “consumption destination information DB”) 23 and an incentive balance information database (hereinafter abbreviated as “incentive balance information DB”) 24.

That is, the present incentive processing apparatus 1A is implemented by loading various programs (OS, application software, etc.) stored in the auxiliary storage device (for example, ROM) into the main storage device (RAM) and executing them by the CPU. It functions as an apparatus including an incentive information registration unit 11, an incentive payment availability judgment unit 12, an incentive payment processing unit 13 and the like.

The company identification information DB 21 is a means for storing, for each employee, company information so that a company that provides an incentive to the employee can be identified. That is, the company identification information DB 21 stores an employee information table in which personal information for identifying an employee, such as an employee number, an employee name, an employee address, an employee telephone number, and an employee e-mail address, is stored. And a company information table in which company related information such as a company name and an address are stored. Therefore, any one of the above-described personal information of the employee is adopted as the employee ID, and the employee can be identified by any personal information by using the employee information table.

The employee information table is used to identify an employee by individually or combining a plurality of stored personal information.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the company identification information DB 21 stores company identification information (hereinafter referred to as “company ID”) for identifying a company in association with an employee ID for identifying an employee who consumes.

The consumption condition information DB 22 is a means for storing, for each company, the consumption conditions determined by the company to make a payment from the incentive provided to the employee. That is, the consumption condition information DB 22 stores arbitrary consumption conditions such as the name and address of the consumption destination, the store name, the brand (product name), and the expiration date, and the consumption conditions are used by the company via the network. By connecting to the present incentive processing apparatus 1 (1A) using a communication terminal that can be transmitted and received, for example, the personnel time and salary calculation apparatus 3, it is possible to freely set and register.

The consumption condition may be one or more, and when a plurality of consumption conditions are set, and setting intended to satisfy all of the plurality of consumption conditions, or a plurality of these consumption conditions It is possible to set or set it as intended if any one of them is satisfied.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the consumption condition information DB 22 stores consumption conditions in association with a company ID.

The consumption destination information DB 23 is a means for storing consumption destination information such as the name, the address, the telephone number, and the brand (product name) of the consumption destination for each consumption destination. That is, the consumption destination information DB 23 stores only consumption destination information.
For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the consumption destination information DB 23 stores consumption destination information in association with the consumption destination ID.

The incentive balance information DB 24 is a means for storing, for each employee, balance information of incentives provided by a company. That is, the incentive balance information DB 24 stores money information corresponding to the money value, and can be appropriately rewritten by settlement using an incentive by an employee or provision of a new incentive from a company. It will be
For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the incentive balance information DB 24 stores incentive balance information in association with the employee ID.

Here, the employee ID registered in the company identification information DB 21 and the incentive balance information DB 24 is a unique identification mark given by the operator of the incentive processing service for identifying the employee who uses the service. Say. In addition, the employee ID described in the present invention is an employee registered for receiving provision of an incentive processing service and mobile phone information (for example, a telephone number and a contract holder) used by the employee for electronic payment by incentive. The employee's personal information such as card information (for example, card number and member name) of the membership card issued to the party shall be included.

That is, in the present invention, mobile phone information used by the employee for electronic payment, card information of a membership card issued to the employee, which the employee registered in advance as personal information when receiving the provision of the incentive processing service And employee ID are associated with each other.

As a result, the employee ID can be identified based on mobile phone information, card information, etc. used by the employee in the settlement of the consumption amount, and the incentive balance information can be registered in the incentive balance information DB 24.

Further, in the present invention, when a shortage occurs in settlement using an incentive, the shortfall, cash, credit card, debit card, prepaid card, electronic money (an online settlement with an issuer can be made available) ), Cryptocurrency (a virtual currency such as bitcoin, which allows online payment without an issuer), and can be paid with a gift certificate.

The incentive information registration unit 11 acquires incentive payment information including at least the employee ID and the incentive information indicating the value of the incentive to be paid for each employee from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3, and associates the information with the employee ID. The incentive information is registered in the incentive balance information DB 24.

As described above, the first incentive processing device 1A is configured to be communicable with the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 (company) via the network, acquires the incentive payment information, and registers the incentive information for each employee. With this configuration, it is possible to confirm the existence of a company or an employee and prove it to a third party every time a new incentive is paid by the company.

Further, when the incentive information registration unit 11 acquires the incentive payment information from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3, the incentive information included in the acquired incentive payment information is replaced with the balance of the incentive information registered in the incentive balance information DB 24. It is a means to register information.

As described above, when the first incentive processing apparatus 1A acquires incentive payment information from the personnel time and salary calculation apparatus (company) 3, the first incentive processing apparatus 1A registers the acquired incentive information in place of the already registered incentive information balance. By doing this, it is possible to set an expiration date in which an incentive can be used as a consumption condition.

Further, when the incentive information registration unit 11 acquires the incentive payment information from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3, the incentive information included in the acquired incentive payment information for the balance of the incentive information registered in the incentive balance information DB 24 It is good also as what adds and registers.

As described above, when the first incentive processing apparatus 1A acquires incentive payment information from the personnel time and salary calculation apparatus (company) 3, the first incentive processing apparatus 1A adds the acquired incentive information to the balance of the already registered incentive information and registers the same. In this way, it is also possible to carry over the unpaid incentives for the following month.

From the payment terminal 2A (2B), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 consumes an employee ID specifying the employee who has consumed, consumption amount information specifying the amount of consumption by the employee, and It is a means for acquiring consumption information including the consumption destination ID specifying the consumption destination, and determining whether the consumption of the employee satisfies the consumption condition compatible with the settlement using the incentive.

That is, the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 refers to the company identification information DB 21 after acquiring the consumption information, and identifies the company ID that specifies the company that pays the employee based on the acquired employee ID. Extract.
Further, after extracting the company ID, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 continues to refer to the consumption condition information DB 22 and extracts the consumption condition defined for the company to pay the incentive based on the extracted company ID.
Furthermore, after the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 refers to the consumer information DB 23 and identifies the consumer for which consumption has been performed based on the acquired consumer ID, the consumer that is identified identifies the consumption condition extracted. Determine if it meets or not.

That is, the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 first extracts the company ID based on the acquired employee ID. Next, the incentive payment determination unit 12 extracts consumption conditions based on the extracted company ID. Then, the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 specifies the consumption destination based on the acquired consumption destination ID, and the specified consumption destination is, for example, when the extracted consumption condition is the setting of “〇 city”. It is to judge whether or not it exists in "00 city".

The incentive payment processing unit 13 is a means for registering the balance of the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 24 after the settlement is performed using the incentive provided by the company.
That is, when the incentive payment processing unit 12 determines that the consumption condition is satisfied, the incentive payment processing unit 13 subtracts the consumption amount information from the incentive information to obtain a balance, and registers the balance in the incentive balance information DB 24.

Next, the flow of processing in the incentive processing system for implementing the incentive processing method (hereinafter referred to as "first method") according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. explain.
In the first incentive processing device 1A of the present invention, the first method described below is realized by executing the first computer program.

First, as shown in FIG. 6, the personnel time and salary calculation apparatus 3 transmits in advance incentive payment information including an employee ID and incentive information to the present incentive processing apparatus 1A (10).
Then, the incentive processing device 1A receives the incentive payment information transmitted from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 (20), and registers the incentive payment information in the incentive balance information DB 24 in association with the employee ID (30).

Thereafter, the payment terminal 2A (2B) uses the employee ID for identifying the employee who has consumed, the consumption amount information for specifying the amount of consumption for the employee, and the consumption according to the consumption of the employee. Consumption information including a consumption destination ID specifying the consumption destination is sent to the incentive processing device 1A (100).
Then, the incentive processing device 1A receives the consumption information transmitted from the settlement terminal 2A (2B) (110).

Here, transmission of the employee ID, the consumption amount information, and the consumption destination ID to the present incentive processing apparatus 1A can be performed, for example, as follows.
First, when making a payment with the store register 2A as the payment terminal 2, after the store register 2A calculates the consumption amount (settlement fee), an employee ID is obtained by a card reader writer or the like, and the store register 2A calculates the consumption It carries out by transmitting consumption destination ID stored in store cash register 2A to this incentive processing device 1A with amount-of-money information and the acquired employee ID.

In addition, when making a payment with the store register 2A as the payment terminal 2, after the store register 2A calculates the consumption amount (settlement fee), the consumption generated by reading the optical symbol displayed on the store by the mobile terminal owned by the employee An optical symbol including the destination ID and the employee ID is read by the shop cashier 2A, and the shop cashier 2A transmits the read employee ID and the consumer ID together with the calculated consumption amount information to the incentive processing apparatus 1A. It may be done by

On the other hand, when making payment using the employee terminal 2B as the payment terminal 2, after the optical symbol displayed in the store is read by the employee terminal 2B and the consumption destination ID is acquired, the consumption amount is input at the employee terminal 2B, The employee terminal 2B transmits the employee ID stored in the employee terminal 2B to the incentive processing device 1A together with the acquired consumption destination ID and the input consumption amount information.

In the present incentive processing apparatus 1A, based on the received employee ID, the company identification information DB 21 is referenced to extract a company ID for specifying a company that pays the employee who is associated and registered. Further, the present incentive processing apparatus 1A refers to the consumption condition DB 22 based on the extracted company ID, and extracts the consumption condition which is set for the company registered in association to make a payment from the incentive. Further, the incentive processing apparatus 1A refers to the consumption destination information DB 23 based on the received consumption destination ID, identifies the consumption destination information registered in association, and based on the identified consumption destination information. It is determined whether the consumption satisfies the extracted consumption condition (120).

Then, the incentive processing apparatus 1A subtracts the consumption amount information from the incentive information to obtain the balance, and registers the balance of the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 24 (130).
The above is the basic processing flow in the incentive processing system for implementing the first method using the present incentive processing apparatus 1A.

In addition, when the payment terminal 2 is the employee terminal 2B, the incentive payment possibility determination unit 12 acquires consumption information and then, before extracting the company ID based on the employee ID included in the consumption information, The incentive balance information DB 24 is referenced to extract incentive information registered based on the employee ID included in the acquired consumption information, and the extracted incentive information and consumption amount information included in the acquired consumption information It may have a function to compare.

At this time, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 compares the incentive information and the consumption amount information with each other and determines that the value of the incentive information is large or equal, confirmation of the consumption amount with respect to the employee terminal 2B, It has a function of sending an inquiry notification that confirms whether or not to continue settlement processing using an incentive. The inquiry notification may include, for example, incentive information and consumption amount information.

Then, the incentive payment determination unit 12 has a function of receiving the response information from the employee terminal 2B. When the incentive payment determination unit 12 receives an acceptance response for payment using an incentive from the employee terminal 2B, it extracts the company ID and the consumption condition, and further specifies the consumption destination to determine the consumption condition. It will be determined whether or not

When the payment terminal 2 is the store cash register 2A, the incentive processing device 1A is configured to be communicable with the employee terminal 2B via the network. Then, the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 transmits an inquiry notification to the agent terminal 2B as described above, and receives response information from the employee terminal 2B.

The flow of the process in this case can be shown in FIG.
The processes from (10) to (110) described above are performed in the same manner as the basic process described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, the present incentive processing apparatus 1A extracts balance information of the incentive registered in association with reference to the incentive balance information DB 24 based on the employee ID included in the consumption information. Then, it is determined whether the balance information of the incentive is larger than the consumption amount information included in the consumption information (111).
Subsequently, in the incentive processing apparatus 1A, if it is determined that the balance information of the incentive is larger than the consumption amount information, whether confirmation of the consumption amount and settlement processing using the incentive are continued for the employee terminal 2B Send an inquiry notification to confirm (112a).

The employee terminal 2B receives the inquiry transmitted from the incentive processing device 1A (113a).
Here, as an example of the inquiry received by the employee terminal 2B, for example, when an employee having an incentive equivalent to a currency value of 10,000 yen consumes 2,500 yen, the incentive is used The case of confirming whether to make a payment will be described based on FIG.

FIG. 8 shows a screen 50a of the employee terminal 2B, in which an incentive display field 51 and an inquiry display field 52 are displayed.
Specifically, “JPN” which specifies a currency unit as an amount that can be settled by the incentive possessed by the employee along with the update date of the incentive balance information registered in the incentive balance information DB 24 in the incentive display column 51, “10,000.00” is displayed as the value of. That is, "JPN" means Japan and "10,000.00" means 10,000 yen based on the currency unit of Japan. Therefore, the employee has an incentive equivalent to a currency value of 10,000 yen. Further, the employee can confirm the balance of the available incentives by looking at the value of the incentive displayed in the incentive display field 51 of the employee terminal 2B.

In the inquiry display column 52, “JPN 2,500.00” is displayed as the amount of money that the employee decides to consume (consumption amount). In other words, it means to settle 2,500 yen for an incentive of 10,000 yen. Therefore, by looking at the consumption amount displayed in the inquiry display field 52 of the employee terminal 2B, the employee can confirm whether the shop terminal 2 has made an unauthorized claim to the present incentive processing apparatus 1A. .

In addition, in the inquiry display column 52, along with the words "Do you settle with this amount of money?", The answer button 52a for "YES" that indicates the intention to agree with the settlement using the incentive, and the settlement using the incentive The "NO" answer button 52b for displaying the intention not to agree with is displayed.

Note that if the country name that specifies the currency unit displayed before the value of the incentive is not "JPN" but, for example, "USA" is displayed, the currency value indicated by the incentive means the US dollar, If it is displayed as "GBR", the currency value indicated by the incentive means the British pound. Therefore, this incentive processing service can be used worldwide.

When the employee terminal 2B receives the above-described inquiry, the employee terminal 2B transmits, to the present incentive processing apparatus 1A, response information on whether or not the payment can be made using the incentive (113a). That is, the employee who receives this inquiry selects the "YES" answer button 52a or the "NO" answer button 52b displayed in the inquiry display field 52 of the screen 50 of the employee terminal 2B in FIG. The reply information can be sent. Here, it is assumed that the reply button 52a is selected, and reply information accepting the continuation of the settlement process using the incentive is transmitted.

The incentive processing device 1A receives the reply information transmitted from the employee terminal 2B (114a).
Then, the incentive processing apparatus 1A extracts a company ID by referring to the company identification information DB 21 based on the employee ID, and extracts a consumption condition by referring to the consumption condition DB 22 based on the extracted company ID. It is determined whether the consumption of the employee satisfies the extracted consumption condition (120).

Then, when the incentive processing apparatus 1A determines that the consumption of the employee satisfies the extracted consumption condition, the value of the consumption amount information is subtracted from the value of the incentive information to obtain the balance, and the balance is the incentive balance It registers in information DB24 (130a).

Further, in the present embodiment, when the shortage occurs in the settlement processing using the incentive, the shortage is settled by other settlement means such as cash or a settlement card such as a credit card or debit card. It can also be

In this case, if the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the value of the incentive information is small as a result of comparing the incentive information and the consumption amount information, the payment other than the payment using the incentive for the employee terminal 2B. It has a function of transmitting an inquiry notification for confirming whether or not to continue the settlement processing on condition that the shortage amount is settled by the means of.

Then, the incentive payment determination unit 12 has a function of receiving the response information from the employee terminal 2B.
When the incentive payment determination unit 12 receives an acknowledgment from the employee terminal 2B to settle the shortage amount by means other than the payment using the incentive, it extracts the company ID and extracts the consumption condition. Furthermore, the consumer is specified to determine whether the consumption condition is satisfied.

In addition, when the incentive settlement processing unit 13 determines that the consumption condition is satisfied after receiving an acknowledgment of settlement of the shortage amount by means other than settlement using the incentive, the consumption amount information from the incentive information Functions as a function of registering the value "0" as the balance of the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 24.

The flow of the process in this case can be shown in FIG.
The processing from (10) to (111) described above is performed in the same manner as the basic processing described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
When the payment terminal 2 is the store cash register 2A, the incentive processing device 1A is configured to be communicable with the employee terminal 2B via the network.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, in the present incentive processing apparatus 1A, when the incentive information is smaller than the consumption amount information, the employee terminal 2B is used together with the shortage amount information by means other than settlement using an incentive. An inquiry notification is sent to confirm whether or not to continue the settlement process on the condition that the shortfall is settled (112b).

The employee terminal 2B receives the inquiry transmitted from the incentive processing device 1A (113b).
Here, as an example of the inquiry received by the employee terminal 2B, for example, when an employee having an incentive equivalent to a currency value of 10,000 yen consumes 12,500 yen, the shortage of 2 The case of confirming whether or not to pay ¥ 500 by cash will be described based on FIG.

FIG. 10 shows the screen 50a of the agent terminal 2B in the same manner as FIG. 8. On this screen 50a, an incentive display field 51 and an inquiry display field 52 are displayed.
Specifically, “JPN” which specifies a currency unit as an amount that can be settled by the incentive possessed by the employee along with the update date of the incentive balance information registered in the incentive balance information DB 24 in the incentive display column 51, “10,000.00” is displayed as the value of.

Further, in the inquiry display column 52, “JPN12, 500.00” is displayed as the amount of money that the employee decides to consume, and “JPN 2,500.00” is displayed as the amount of shortage. That is, although 10,000 yen can be settled by an incentive, it means that 2,500 yen can not be settled and it runs short. In addition, in the inquiry display column 52, the answer button 52a for "YES" indicating the intention to agree with the cash payment of the deficit together with the words "Do you pay the cash in cash?" And the cash payment of the deficit The "NO" answer button 52b for displaying the intention not to agree with is displayed.

When the employee terminal 2B receives the above-mentioned inquiry, the employee terminal 2B transmits the answer information on the cash payment availability to the incentive processing device 1A (113a). That is, the employee who receives this inquiry selects the "YES" answer button 52a or the "NO" answer button 52b displayed in the inquiry display field 52 of the screen 50 of the employee terminal 2B in FIG. The reply information can be sent. Here, it is assumed that the reply button 52a is selected, and reply information for accepting continuation of the settlement process by cash payment of the shortfall is transmitted.

The incentive processing device 1A receives the reply information transmitted from the employee terminal 2B (114b). As a result, the incentive processing device 1A obtains an answer as to whether the cash payment for the shortfall is possible or not from the employee terminal 2B.
Then, the incentive processing apparatus 1A extracts a company ID by referring to the company identification information DB 21 based on the employee ID, and extracts a consumption condition by referring to the consumption condition DB 22 based on the extracted company ID. It is determined whether the consumption of the employee satisfies the extracted consumption condition (120).

Then, when the incentive processing apparatus 1A determines that the consumption of the employee satisfies the extracted consumption condition, a value obtained by subtracting the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information is set to “0”, and this “0 Is registered in the incentive balance information DB 24 as the balance of the incentive information (130b).

As described above, by inquiring of the employee terminal 2B whether or not the payment by the cash payment of the shortage can be made, the payment using the incentive can be performed even when the upper limit value of the incentive is exceeded. It becomes.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when a shortage occurs in settlement based on an incentive, the customer does not have sufficient cash or a settlement card such as a credit card / debit card, and other known settlements The settlement may be performed even in a situation where the settlement of the shortage can not be performed by means. That is, the inventor of the present application uses the credit transaction technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-055542 to perform settlement (that is, payroll deduction) based on the amount of salary scheduled to be paid to the present employee. .

In this case, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the value of the incentive information is small, the shortage amount indicating the difference between the consumption amount information and the incentive information together with the employee ID to the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 It has a function of transmitting a first inquiry notification that includes information and confirms whether or not the shortage can be settled in light of the employee's current scheduled salary amount.

At this time, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 receives a settlement acceptable response to the effect that settlement is possible from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3, further, the employee terminal 2B is scheduled to receive an insufficient amount of salary. It has a function of transmitting a second inquiry notification that confirms whether or not to continue the settlement processing on the condition of subtraction from the amount.

Then, the incentive payment determination unit 12 has a function of receiving the response information from the employee terminal 2B.
When the incentive payment determination unit 12 receives from the employee terminal 2B an acknowledgment of acceptance for deducting the shortfall from the scheduled salary amount, it extracts the company ID and the consumption condition, and further determines the consumption destination. It will be specified and it will be judged whether a consumption condition is satisfied.

Further, when the incentive settlement processing unit 13 determines that the value of the incentive information is small as a result of comparing the incentive information and the consumption amount information, it subtracts the consumption amount information from the incentive information to obtain the shortage amount, and this shortage It has a function of registering the amount as the balance of the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 24.

That is, if the incentive information is smaller than the consumption amount information, the shortage may be settled by cash etc., but both the company and the employee are permitted to settle the salary to be paid to the employee. In the case of this, the following processing is performed in the present incentive processing apparatus 1A.

The flow of processing in this case can be shown in FIG.
The processing from (10) to (111) described above is performed in the same manner as the basic processing described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
When the payment terminal 2 is the store cash register 2A, the incentive processing device 1A is configured to be communicable with the employee terminal 2B via the network.

Next, as shown in FIG. 11, in the present incentive processing apparatus 1A, when the incentive information is smaller than the consumption amount information, the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 settles the shortage together with the employee information and the shortage amount information. An inquiry as to availability is sent (112c).

The personnel time and salary calculation device 3 receives the inquiry transmitted from the incentive processing device 1A, and determines whether or not the settlement of the shortage can be made in light of the planned salary amount of the employee until now. Reply information is transmitted to the present incentive processing apparatus 1A (113c).

The incentive processing device 1A receives the response information transmitted from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 (114c).
In the present incentive processing apparatus 1A, when the received response information is capable of settling the shortfall from the planned salary amount of the employee (that is, the payroll can be deducted), the shortfall information is further sent to the employee terminal 2B. And send an inquiry as to whether or not the shortfall is to be subtracted from the scheduled salary (115c).

The employee terminal 2B receives the inquiry transmitted from the incentive processing device 1A (116c).
Here, as an example of the inquiry received by the employee terminal 2B, for example, when an employee having an incentive equivalent to a currency value of 10,000 yen consumes 12,500 yen, the shortage of 2 The case of confirming whether or not 500 yen is to be paid by pay will be described based on FIG.

FIG. 12 shows the screen 50a of the agent terminal 2B as in FIG. 8. On this screen 50a, an incentive display field 51 and an inquiry display field 52 are displayed.
Specifically, “JPN” which specifies a currency unit as an amount that can be settled by the incentive possessed by the employee along with the update date of the incentive balance information registered in the incentive balance information DB 24 in the incentive display column 51, “10,000.00” is displayed as the value of.

Further, in the inquiry display column 52, “JPN12, 500.00” is displayed as the amount of money that the employee decides to consume, and “JPN 2,500.00” is displayed as the amount of shortage. That is, although 10,000 yen can be settled by an incentive, it means that 2,500 yen can not be settled and it runs short. In addition, in the inquiry display column 52, an answer button 52a for "YES" indicating the intention to agree with the salary deduction for the deficit amount together with the words "Do you want to make the deficit amount to the salary deduction amount?" An "NO" answer button 52b is displayed to indicate that the salary withdrawal payment does not agree.

When the employee terminal 2B receives the above-mentioned inquiry, the employee terminal 2B transmits the answer information of whether or not the salary deficit amount of the shortage amount is to the incentive processing device 1B (116c). That is, the employee who has received this inquiry selects the "YES" answer button 52a or the "NO" answer button 52b displayed in the inquiry display field 52 of the screen 50 of the employee terminal 2B in FIG. The reply information can be sent. Here, it is assumed that the reply button 52a is selected, and reply information for accepting the continuation of the settlement process by the shortfall on payroll is sent.

The incentive processing device 1A receives the reply information transmitted from the employee terminal 2B (117c).
Thus, the incentive processing device 1A obtains an answer as to whether the payroll deduction is possible or not from the employee terminal 2B.
Then, the incentive processing apparatus 1A extracts a company ID by referring to the company identification information DB 21 based on the employee ID, and extracts a consumption condition by referring to the consumption condition DB 22 based on the extracted company ID. It is determined whether the consumption of the employee satisfies the extracted consumption condition (120).

Then, when it is determined that the consumption of the employee satisfies the consumption condition extracted, the incentive processing apparatus 1A subtracts the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information to obtain the shortage amount, and the shortage amount Are registered in the incentive balance information DB 24 as the balance of the incentive information (131c).

As described above, when the reply information indicating that settlement is possible is received from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3, the employee terminal 2B is further inquired as to whether the salary deduction settlement of the shortage amount is possible or not. Even if the upper limit value of the incentive is exceeded, the settlement using the incentive can be performed.

Then, an example of operation | movement of this incentive processing apparatus 1A which enforces the 1st method mentioned above is demonstrated with reference to FIG. 13 thru | or FIG.
First, the incentive information registration unit 11 determines whether the incentive payment information including at least the employee ID for identifying the employee and the incentive information indicating the value of the incentive for each employee has been received. Perform (S10).

As a result, when the incentive information registration unit 11 receives the incentive payment information (Y), the intention information registration unit 11 continues to register the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 24 in association with the employee ID (S20) ). At this time, if there is a balance in the incentive information registered in the incentive balance information DB 24, the incentive information included in the acquired incentive payment information may be registered instead of the balance of the incentive information. Further, incentive information included in the acquired incentive payment information may be added to the balance of the incentive information and registered.
After that, a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A end (end).

On the other hand, when the incentive information registration unit 11 determines that the incentive payment information has not been received (N), the employee information that the incentive payment availability judgment unit 12 identifies the employee who has consumed, and the employee A process is performed to determine whether consumption information including the consumption amount information specifying the amount of consumption and the consumption destination ID specifying the consumption destination has been received (S100).

As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 determines that the consumption information has been received (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 continues to refer to the incentive balance information DB 24 and based on the acquired employee ID. A process is performed to extract registered incentive information (S110).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 determines that the consumption information is not received (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A are ended.

Furthermore, the incentive payment determination unit 12 compares the extracted incentive information with the consumption amount information included in the acquired consumption information, and determines whether the value of the incentive information is larger than the value of the consumption amount information. Perform (S120).
As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 determines that the value of the incentive information is greater than or equal to the value of the consumption amount information (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 generates an incentive for the employee terminal 2B. An inquiry notification is sent to confirm whether or not to continue the settlement process using (S130).

After the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 transmits to the employee terminal 2B an inquiry about settlement availability based on incentive processing, it is determined whether or not an acknowledgment response indicating that the settlement process is continued is received from the employee terminal 2B. (S140).
As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 receives an acknowledgment response indicating that payment processing is to be continued from the employee terminal 2B (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 determines the company based on the employee ID. The information DB 21 is referred to, and a process of extracting a company ID for specifying a company who pays the relevant employee registered in association is performed (S150).
On the other hand, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 receives from the employee terminal 2B a refusal response to the effect that payment processing is not to be continued (that is, no acknowledgment response to continue the payment processing is received) (N) , And a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A end.

After extracting the company ID, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 refers to the consumption condition information DB 22 based on the extracted company ID, and extracts the consumption condition that is defined for the company registered in association to pay the incentive. A process is performed (S160).
Furthermore, after the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 identifies the consumption destination for which consumption has been performed with reference to the consumption destination information DB 23 based on the received consumption destination ID, the consumption condition extracted by the specified consumption destination is specified. A process is performed to determine whether or not (S170).

As a result, when the incentive payment possibility judgment unit 12 judges that the consumption condition is satisfied (Y), the incentive payment processing unit 13 subtracts the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information to calculate the balance. A process is performed (S180).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the consumption condition is not satisfied (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A are ended.
And the incentive payment process part 13 performs the process which registers the balance of the calculated incentive information in incentive balance information DB24 (S190).
Thus, the basic series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A end.

In addition, when the incentive payment possibility judgment unit 12 compares the extracted incentive information with the consumption amount information included in the acquired consumption information (S120), it is determined that the value of the incentive information is smaller than the value of the consumption amount information (N) The incentive payment determination unit 12 further performs a process of calculating the shortage by subtracting the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information (S200).

Subsequently, the incentive payment determination unit 12 performs processing to determine whether there is a payroll deduction setting as processing when there is a shortage in the payment processing using an incentive (S210).
As a result, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 determines that the payroll deduction is set (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 further instructs the personnel attendance calculation device 3 to use the consumption amount information together with the employee ID. And the incentive information, and transmits an inquiry as to whether the settlement of the shortage can be made in light of the employee's current scheduled salary amount (S220).

After transmitting an inquiry to the personnel time and salary calculation device 3, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 determines whether or not an answer indicating that payroll deduction settlement is possible is received from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 A process is performed (S230).
As a result, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 receives an answer indicating that the payroll deduction is possible from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 (Y), the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 further determines that the employee terminal 2B is In response, an inquiry notification is sent to confirm whether or not to accept the payroll deduction settlement (S240).
On the other hand, when the incentive settlement availability judgment unit 12 receives an answer to the effect that the payroll deduction settlement is impossible from the personnel time and pay calculation device 3 (that is, an answer indicating that the payroll deduction settlement is possible is not received) (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A end.

After transmitting an inquiry about whether payroll deduction is possible to the employee terminal 2B, the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines whether or not an acceptance reply indicating that payroll deduction is to be received is received from the employee terminal 2B. (S250).
As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 receives an acknowledgment response indicating that payment processing is to be continued from the employee terminal 2B (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 determines the company based on the employee ID. The information DB 21 is referred to, and a process of extracting a company ID for specifying a company that pays the relevant employee registered in association is performed (S260).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 receives from the employee terminal 2B a refusal response to the effect that payment processing is not to be continued (that is, an acknowledgment response to continue the payroll deduction processing is not received) ( N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A end.

After extracting the company ID, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 refers to the consumption condition information DB 22 based on the extracted company ID, and extracts the consumption condition that is defined for the company registered in association to pay the incentive. A process is performed (S270).
Furthermore, after the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 identifies the consumption destination for which consumption has been performed with reference to the consumption destination information DB 23 based on the received consumption destination ID, the consumption condition extracted by the specified consumption destination is specified. A process is performed to determine whether or not (S280).

As a result, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the consumption condition is satisfied (Y), the incentive payment processing unit 13 subtracts the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information to calculate the shortage amount. Processing is performed (S290).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the consumption condition is not satisfied (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A are ended.
Then, the incentive payment processing unit 13 performs a process of registering the calculated shortage of the incentive information as a balance in the incentive balance information DB 24 (S300).
Thereby, a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A are ended.

In addition, as a result of the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 determining whether or not there is a payroll deduction setting (S210), when it is determined that the payroll deduction is not set (N), the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 determines the employee terminal 2B. In response, an inquiry is sent as to whether the settlement of the shortfall is possible by other settlement means than the incentive (S300).
After transmitting the inquiry about settlement availability by the other settlement means to the employee terminal 2B, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 receives an answer of settlement approval by the other settlement means from the employee terminal 2B. A process is performed to determine whether or not (S310).

As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 12 receives an acceptance response from the employee terminal 2B to accept the payment of the shortage by the other payment means and continue the payment process (Y), The determination unit 12 refers to the company identification information DB 21 based on the employee ID, and performs a process of extracting a company ID for specifying a company that pays the employee who is associated and registered (S320). .
On the other hand, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 receives from the employee terminal 2B an answer indicating that the settlement process is not continued (that is, an answer to acknowledge the settlement of the shortage by the other settlement means is not received) (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A end.

After extracting the company ID, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 refers to the consumption condition information DB 22 based on the extracted company ID, and extracts the consumption condition that is defined for the company registered in association to pay the incentive. A process is performed (S330).
Furthermore, after the incentive settlement availability determination unit 12 identifies the consumption destination for which consumption has been performed with reference to the consumption destination information DB 23 based on the received consumption destination ID, the consumption condition extracted by the specified consumption destination is specified. A process is performed to determine whether or not (S340).

As a result, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the consumption condition is satisfied (Y), the incentive payment processing unit 13 subtracts the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information as “0”. The processing to be performed is performed (S350).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment determination unit 12 determines that the consumption condition is not satisfied (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A are ended.
Then, the incentive payment processing unit 13 performs processing of registering “0” as the balance in the incentive balance information DB 24 (S360).
Thereby, a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1A are ended.

As described above, according to the present invention, first, an incentive (permission) specifying the region to be consumed, the business partner, and the term of use, which the company pays to the employee, is additionally set in advance to the allowance item in the personnel attendance calculation device 3 Then, it is transmitted from the personnel time and salary calculation device 3 to the present incentive processing device 1A.

Then, the employee makes a shop at a store or a business partner under the specified conditions and presents one that identifies the employee. Under the present circumstances, as a thing which specifies an employee, biometrics, ID cards, mobile ID, etc. may be used as long as they can read an employee ID that can identify an individual.
Then, using the shop cashier (settlement system) 2A in the shop, the read employee ID and the consumption amount are sent to the incentive processing apparatus 1A together with the consumption destination ID specifying the shop, or the employee terminal 2B The consumption destination ID for identifying the store is read using the above, the consumption amount is input, and is transmitted to the present incentive processing apparatus 1A together with the employee ID for specifying the employee.

And in this incentive processing apparatus 1A, when satisfying the consumption condition which a company sets up, it is possible to perform settlement using the incentive which a company pays.
As a result, with the balance registered in the incentive balance information DB 24, it becomes possible to grasp the consumption amount that the employee has shopped in a specific area or customer. Therefore, it becomes possible for the third party who operates this incentive processing service to prove this consumption amount, and with this proof, the company can show the specific amount to the local area and the business partners to show the degree of contribution. it can. Then, companies will be appreciated from the local area and customers, and the company value is expected to increase.

The payment of the consumption amount is, for example, paid directly from a company to a store etc via an employee's incentive. That is, by connecting the benefit calculation process of the payroll calculation system and the settlement information, it is possible to provide a mechanism that does not require manual input and does not increase the load of accounting and payroll work.

In addition, the amount of consumption of the employee is from the bank account of the company that manages the salary amount of the employee calculated by the attendance and salary system or the electronic wallet of the company to the bank account or electronic wallet of the store or business partner. Since the money can be directly transferred and paid, there is an advantage that it can be used even if the employee does not have a bank account. Furthermore, even if employees working in developing countries or working in developed countries, immigrants often can not have bank accounts, which is a great advantage for employees. In addition, it is an advantage for the state that reduces transactions using paper money and cash and advances digital money payment.

In addition, there are also cases where malicious business owners and entrepreneurs use subsidies and loans for misappropriation and spending, and often for places unrelated to business, too. If you contribute to the area via the website, it is possible to know which company paid the money and who paid via whom, so it is more likely that it will not be used for fraudulent money.

Second Embodiment
Further, in the present invention, it is possible to allow an employee to appropriately check the balance of his / her incentive. That is, it differs from the first embodiment described above in that incentive information can be transmitted to employee terminal 2B when desired, for example, before consumption.

First, FIG. 16 shows the configuration of a second incentive processing device 1B of the present invention.

It can be configured by associating with a payer information table in which payer related information such as the name and address of the payer is stored.

The recipient information table is used to identify a recipient by individually or combining a plurality of stored personal information.
For example, as shown in FIG. 34, the payer identification information DB 121 is payer identification information (hereinafter referred to as “payer ID”) for identifying a payer in association with a payee ID for identifying a beneficiary who consumes. Remember.

The consumption condition information DB 122 is a means for storing, for each payer, the consumption condition set by the payer in order to make a payment from the incentive to be paid to the payee. That is, the consumption condition information DB 122 stores an arbitrary consumption condition such as the name and address of the consumption destination, the store name, the consumption product item, and the expiration date, and the consumption condition is transmitted and received by the payer via the network. By connecting to the present incentive processing apparatus 1F using a communication terminal such as a possible payer terminal 5, setting and registration can be freely made.

The consumption condition may be one or more, and when a plurality of consumption conditions are set, and setting intended to satisfy all of the plurality of consumption conditions, or a plurality of these consumption conditions It is possible to set or set it as intended if any one of them is satisfied.
For example, as shown in FIG. 35, the consumption condition information DB 122 stores the consumption conditions in association with the provider ID.

Similar to the consumption destination information DB 23, the consumption destination information DB 123 is a means for storing consumption destination information such as the name and address of the consumption destination, and a product item for each consumption destination.
For example, as shown in FIG. 36, the consumption destination information DB 123 stores consumption destination information in association with a consumption destination ID identifying a consumption destination.

The incentive balance information DB 124 is a means for storing balance information of the incentive provided by the payer for each payee. That is, like the incentive balance information DB 24, the incentive balance information DB 124 stores money information corresponding to the money value, and can be appropriately rewritten by settlement using an incentive by the recipient. It is.
For example, as shown in FIG. 37, the incentive balance information DB 124 stores incentive balance information in association with the beneficiary ID.

The incentive information registration unit 111 acquires incentive payment information including at least the beneficiary ID and the incentive information indicating the value of the incentive to be paid for each beneficiary from the payer terminal 5, and associates the incentive payment information with the beneficiary ID It is a means to register information in incentive balance information DB124.

From the

payment terminals

2A and 2C, the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 receives beneficiary information specifying the recipient who has consumed, consumption amount information specifying the amount of consumption by the recipient, and consumption that has been consumed This is a means for acquiring the consumption destination ID specifying the destination and determining whether the consumption of the recipient satisfies the consumption condition that matches the settlement using the incentive.

That is, after the acquisition of the consumption information including the beneficiary ID, the consumption amount information, and the consumption destination ID, the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 refers to the payer identification information DB 121 and receives the beneficiary ID included in the acquired consumption information. Based on the above, we extract a payer ID that specifies a payer who provides an incentive to the payee.
In addition, the incentive payment possibility determination unit 112 continuously refers to the consumption condition information DB 122 after extracting the payer ID, and extracts the consumption condition that the payer defines for providing the incentive based on the extracted payer ID. .
Furthermore, after the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 refers to the consumer information DB 123 and identifies the consumer for which consumption has been performed based on the acquired consumer ID, the consumer that is identified identifies the consumption condition extracted. Determine if it meets or not.

The incentive settlement processing unit 113 is a means for registering the balance of the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 124 after the settlement is performed using the incentive provided by the payer.
That is, when the incentive payment processing unit 112 determines that the consumption condition is satisfied, the incentive payment processing unit 113 subtracts the consumption amount information from the incentive information to obtain a balance, and registers the balance in the incentive balance information database 124.

Next, the flow of processing in the incentive processing system for implementing the incentive processing method (hereinafter, referred to as “sixth method”) according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. explain.
In the sixth incentive processing device 1F of the present invention, the sixth method described below is realized by executing the sixth computer program.

First, as shown in FIG. 38, the payer terminal 5 transmits in advance incentive payment information including a recipient ID and incentive information to the present incentive processing apparatus 1F (510).
Then, the incentive processing device 1F receives the incentive payment information transmitted from the payer terminal 5 (520), registers the incentive payment information in the incentive balance information DB 24 in association with the recipient ID (530).

Thereafter, the payment terminal 2A (2C) determines the beneficiary information identifying the recipient who has consumed, the consumption amount information identifying the amount of consumption by the recipient, and the consumption according to the consumption of the recipient. Consumption information including the consumption destination ID for identifying the consumption destination is sent to the incentive processing device 1F (600).
Then, the incentive processing device 1F receives the consumption information transmitted from the settlement terminal 2A (2C) (610).

Here, the recipient information, the consumption amount information, and the consumption destination ID can be transmitted to the present incentive processing apparatus 1F, for example, as follows.
First, when making a payment with the store register 2A as the payment terminal 2, after the store register 2A calculates the consumption amount (settlement fee), the receiver information is acquired by a card reader / writer or the like, and the store register 2A calculates the consumption It carries out by transmitting consumption destination ID memorize | stored in the shop cash register 2A to this incentive processing apparatus 1F with amount-of-money information and the acquired recipient information.

In addition, when making a payment with the store register 2A as the payment terminal 2, after the store register 2A calculates the consumption amount (settlement fee), the consumption generated by reading the optical symbol displayed on the store by the portable terminal owned by the recipient An optical symbol including a destination ID and recipient information is read by the store cashier 2A, and the store cashier 2A transmits the read recipient's information and the consumer ID together with the calculated consumption amount information to the present incentive processing apparatus 1F. It may be done by

On the other hand, when making payment using the payee terminal 2C as the payment terminal 2, after receiving the optical symbol displayed in the store with the payee terminal 2C and acquiring the consumption destination ID, the payee terminal 2C inputs the consumption amount, The recipient terminal 2C transmits the recipient information stored in the recipient terminal 2C to the incentive processing device 1G, together with the acquired consumption destination ID and the input consumption amount information.

In the present incentive processing apparatus 1F, based on the beneficiary ID included in the consumption information, the incentive balance information DB 124 is referenced to extract the balance information of the associated and registered incentive, and the balance information of the incentive is consumption information It is judged whether it is larger than the consumption amount information included in (620).

Subsequently, in the present incentive processing apparatus 1F, when the value of the incentive information is greater than or equal to the value of the consumption amount information, it is registered in association with reference to the payee identification information DB 121 based on the received payee ID. Extract the payer ID that specifies the payer who provides the incentive to the beneficiary. In addition, the present incentive processing apparatus 1F refers to the consumption condition DB 122 based on the extracted payer ID, and extracts the consumption condition that the relevant payer registered in association is set for settling from the incentive. Furthermore, the present incentive processing apparatus 1F refers to the consumption destination information DB 123 based on the received consumption destination ID, identifies the consumption destination information registered in association, and the recipient's information based on the identified consumption destination information. It is determined whether the consumption satisfies the extracted consumption condition (630).

Then, the present incentive processing apparatus 1F permits settlement using the incentive, subtracts the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information to obtain the balance, and registers the balance in the incentive balance information DB 124 (640 ).
The above is the flow of basic processing in the incentive processing system for implementing the sixth method using the present incentive processing apparatus 1F.

Subsequently, an example of the operation of the present incentive processing apparatus 1F for implementing the above-described sixth method will be described with reference to FIG.
First, the incentive information registration unit 111 determines whether the incentive payment information including at least the beneficiary ID for identifying the beneficiary and the incentive information indicating the value of the incentive to be paid for each beneficiary has been received. Perform (S510).

As a result, when the incentive information registration unit 111 receives the incentive payment information (Y), the intention information registration unit 111 continues to register the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 124 in association with the recipient ID (S520) ). At this time, when there is a balance in the incentive information registered in the incentive balance information DB 124, the incentive information included in the acquired incentive payment information may be registered instead of the balance of the incentive information. Further, incentive information included in the acquired incentive payment information may be added to the balance of the incentive information and registered.
Thereafter, the series of operations in the incentive processing device 1F end (end).

On the other hand, when the incentive information registration unit 111 determines that the incentive payment information has not been received (N), the beneficiary ID, the incentive payment availability judgment unit 112 specifies the beneficiary who has consumed, A process is performed to determine whether consumption information including consumption amount information for specifying the amount of consumption and consumption destination ID for specifying the consumption destination for consumption has been received (S600).

As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 determines that the consumption information has been received (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 continues to refer to the incentive balance information DB 124 and based on the acquired recipient ID. A process of extracting registered incentive information is performed (S610).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 determines that the consumption information is not received (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1F are ended.

Furthermore, the incentive payment possibility determination unit 112 compares the extracted incentive information with the consumption amount information included in the acquired consumption information, and determines whether the value of the incentive information is larger than the value of the consumption amount information. Perform (S620).
As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 determines that the value of the incentive information is greater than or equal to the value of the consumption amount information (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 generates an incentive for the payee terminal 2C. An inquiry notification is sent to confirm whether or not to continue the settlement process using (S630).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment determination unit 112 determines that the value of the incentive information is smaller than the value of the consumption amount information (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1F are ended.

After the incentive settlement availability determination unit 112 transmits an inquiry about settlement availability based on the incentive to the recipient terminal 2C, it is determined whether or not an acceptance response indicating that the settlement process is to be continued is received from the recipient terminal 2C. (S640).
As a result, when the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 receives an acknowledgment response from the payee terminal 2C to continue payment processing (Y), the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 determines the payer based on the payee ID. A process is performed to extract a payer ID for specifying a payer who pays an incentive to the payee registered in association with reference to the specific information DB 21 (S650).
On the other hand, when the incentive settlement availability determination unit 112 receives a refusal response not to continue the settlement process from the payee terminal 2C (that is, no acknowledgment response to continue the settlement process is received) (N) , And a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1F end.

After extracting the payer ID, the incentive settlement availability determination unit 112 refers to the consumption condition information DB 122 based on the extracted payer ID, and the consumption condition that the payer registered in association relates to supply the incentive. The process of extracting is performed (S660).
Furthermore, the incentive payment availability determination unit 112 refers to the consumption destination information DB 123 based on the received consumption destination ID, identifies the consumption destination for which consumption has been performed, and then satisfies the consumption condition extracted by the specified consumption destination. A process is performed to determine whether or not (S670).

As a result, when the incentive payment possibility judgment unit 112 judges that the consumption condition is satisfied (Y), the incentive payment processing unit 113 subtracts the value of the consumption amount information from the value of the incentive information to calculate the balance. A process is performed (S680).
On the other hand, when the incentive payment possibility judgment unit 112 judges that the consumption condition is not satisfied (N), a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1F are ended.
Then, the incentive payment processing unit 113 performs processing for registering the calculated balance of the incentive information in the incentive balance information DB 124 (S690).
Thereby, a series of operations in the incentive processing device 1F end.

As described above, according to the sixth incentive processing device of the present embodiment, it is determined whether the consumption of the recipient satisfies the consumption condition defined by the payer, and it is determined that the consumption condition is satisfied. The payment can be made by subtracting the consumption amount from the incentive provided by the payer to the beneficiary. Therefore, it is possible to prevent cases in which malicious managers and entrepreneurs and other recipients receive subsidies and loan money, misappropriate spending, and spending in places unrelated to business.

Furthermore, combining the payment of incentives with digital money based on blockchain technology and payment services prevents fraudulent use of incentives such as subsidies, grants, benefits etc. for the purpose of regional revitalization etc. It will be possible.
