Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of a coupon issuance authentication system and method using a temporary coupon and an actual coupon in an offline store will be described in detail.

Features and advantages of the coupon issuance authentication system and method using the temporary coupon and the actual coupon according to the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of each embodiment below.

1 is a block diagram showing a temporary coupon request and issuing process according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an actual coupon request and issuing process according to the present invention.

3 is a block diagram showing a temporary coupon reissue request and issuance process according to the present invention.

1 illustrates a temporary coupon request and issuance process according to the present invention, and includes a temporary coupon request using an SMS text message and receiving a temporary coupon in the form of an SMS callback according to the temporary coupon request.

Specifically, when a customer visits a store that subscribes to a coupon issuance authentication service using a temporary coupon and an actual coupon according to the present invention, and sees a description of the coupon and a request method posted in the store within a later valid period than the present time. Request a temporary coupon to be used.

The temporary coupon request is a mobile terminal, for example, using a mobile phone to enter the unique number of the store (for example, 100) and then sends a text message about the temporary coupon request to the SMS receiving server.

In response to such a request, the SMS receiving server automatically recognizes the store number and the mobile phone number of the customer, and checks whether there is a coupon predetermined in the corresponding shop 100, and generates a temporary coupon if there is a valid coupon. .

The created coupon is sent to the corresponding customer in the form of a temporary coupon through the SMS sending server in the form of a callback SMS, and the customer receives the temporary coupon under the corresponding store name.

The customer recognizes the terms of the coupon (valid period, coupon amount, etc.) and stores them.

After the temporary coupon issuance request and received storage of the temporary coupon, when the period of use of the temporary coupon arrives again, the customer visits the corresponding shop to make a purchase and requests the issuance of the actual coupon using the temporary coupon stored at the time of payment.

Here, the difference between the temporary coupon and the issuance of the actual coupon for a certain period is to intensify the promotional effect and to induce the visitor again.

Therefore, it is desirable to make a difference between the issuance period of the temporary coupon and the issuance period of the actual coupon without overlapping. In addition, since the actual coupon is displayed on the WAP form, the coupon cannot be used even if the actual coupon is not received.

In the issuance of the actual coupon, the customer selects the actual coupon issuance request number from the temporary coupon in the form of a callback SMS in order to authenticate the validity of the coupon in order to actually use the coupon at the time of payment.

The automatic coupon issuing system first receives the actual coupon issuance request sent from the temporary coupon and then validates the request. When valid after verification, a real coupon is created so that the actual coupon is displayed in the form of WAP on the customer's mobile phone. The customer is applied to the discount rate of the coupon by showing the actual coupon in the WAP form at the counter at the time of payment of the store.

In this case, even if a temporary coupon is received, a limit may be limited if the actual coupon is not issued for the benefit of the customer. This is because the actual coupon is displayed on the WAP, so it cannot be stored and cannot be used even if the actual coupon is received unless it is within the validity period.

Therefore, instead of entering the issuance stage of the actual coupon at the request of the user when the actual coupon issuance request using the temporary coupon, whether the current time to request the actual coupon once again to the user on the WAP and whether to receive the actual coupon now It is preferable to include the step of confirming once again.

If the actual coupon is issued once using the temporary coupon in the verification step as described above may again include that the issuance of the actual coupon using the temporary coupon is limited.

This is to prevent the actual coupons from being issued when the actual coupons cannot be used due to carelessness and misunderstanding of the user, thereby causing damage to the user.

In the issuance of such a temporary coupon and an actual coupon, when the customer deletes the temporary coupon without deleting it, as shown in FIG. 3, the temporary coupon having a temporary validity period may be reissued at the request of the customer.

When the customer deletes the temporary coupon, the coupon is automatically re-requested in the automatic coupon issuing system. At this time, the customer requests a reissue of the temporary coupon (reissue 100) using his terminal device. As such, when a request for re-deleting a coupon is received, the automatic coupon issuing system transmits a reissued temporary coupon of the corresponding store to the corresponding customer in the form of a callback SMS.

The issuance of such a reissued temporary coupon may overlap with the issuance period of the actual coupon since the customer has already been issued a temporary coupon.

Specifically, the coupon issuance authentication system using the temporary coupon and the actual coupon according to the present invention.

4 is a block diagram of a coupon issuance authentication system using a temporary coupon and a real coupon according to the present invention.

Coupon issuance authentication system according to the present invention issuing a coupon in a different concept than before. In other words, the coupon is issued to receive the actual benefits at the request of the customer.

This is not to induce participation by delivering a coupon to an unspecified number of opponents without any distinction, but to increase the likelihood of reaching the actual purchase by requesting a coupon directly from a potential probability of becoming a customer.

By converting the temporary coupon into a real coupon displayed on the WAP at the time of purchase, it is possible to prevent the user from changing the discount rate of the coupon and manipulating the available date.

In addition, the present invention can prevent the reuse of the coupon that has passed the expiration date by using the user to store the temporary coupon in the user terminal (100) and carry it to the actual coupon at the time of purchase.

The configuration is necessary for issuing coupons such as the user terminal 100 for requesting and displaying temporary coupons and actual coupons, the codes of affiliates, types of coupons provided by the affiliates' request, discount information of coupons, and expiration dates. Affiliate information storage unit 310 for storing affiliate information, the user information storage unit 320 for storing user information, such as authentication information of the coupon user, the number of temporary coupon issuance request, actual coupon request number, temporary coupon generation and temporary coupon Coupon issuance server including a coupon issuance control unit 330 for performing authentication and coupon generation when the actual coupon issuance request using a coupon issuance server for controlling the authentication and coupon generation when the temporary coupon issuance and the actual coupon issuance request using the temporary coupon 300 and the temporary coupon generated from the coupon issuing server by the issuance request of the temporary coupon is used to receive the temporary coupon. And temporary coupon request and distribution server 400 for transmission to the terminal, if the actual coupon request is composed of the actual coupon request and display the server 500 to display the actual coupon to the user terminal.

In addition, the user information storage unit 320 is configured to be a database including the user's mobile number and the type and number of coupons to download.

The coupon issuing control unit 330 determines the validity of the request signal received from the user, and if it is valid, generates the temporary coupon and transmits it to the user, and when the request for issuing the actual coupon is received through the temporary coupon, the temporary The actual coupon is generated by authenticating the coupon.

By such a configuration, the affiliated company can easily determine the type and number of coupons received by the user, and can change the marketing strategy and add additional discounts to regular customers.

The SMS server transmits the request signal received from the user terminal 100 to the coupon issuing server 300 and receives the processing result and transmits the result to the user terminal 100 in the form of a callback SMS.

In this case, if the request signal of the user terminal 100 is valid, the corresponding temporary coupon 10 is transmitted, and if not valid, the matter is transmitted to the user terminal 100 as a short message service (SMS).

The WAP server for requesting and displaying the actual coupon receives a signal for requesting the actual coupon by selecting the temporary coupon in the form of a callback SMS received by the user, and then transmits the signal to the coupon issuing server 300. If the actual coupon is normally issued after receiving the processing result, the coupon is displayed on the WAP.

Here, if the temporary coupon transmitted by the user terminal 100 is valid, the corresponding actual coupon is displayed on the WAP, and if not valid, the item is transmitted to the user terminal 100 by SMS.

In addition, the temporary coupon request and issuance is not allowed at the time of requesting and issuing the temporary coupon, and the temporary coupon issued until the actual coupon request and issuance is stored in the user terminal 100 and the temporary coupon is stored at the time of requesting and issuing the actual coupon. This must be allowed to request and issue an actual coupon.

In addition, when the issued temporary coupon is deleted from the user terminal 100, the reissued temporary coupon is transmitted at the request of the user.

The user who requested the actual coupon receives the benefits according to the coupon by confirming to the merchant owner the actual coupon displayed on the user terminal 100 at the time of payment.

The actual coupon displayed on the user terminal 100 by requesting and receiving the actual coupon may be fundamentally blocked from forgery and tampering with the coupon by the display by the WAP server.

The ARS server 700 is a voice guidance system. The ARS server 700 is configured to select a coupon of an affiliated company by pressing a button of a terminal according to a pre-recorded voice guide.

When the user calls the ARS server 700 and selects the desired coupon according to the recorded voice guidance, the ARS server 700 transmits the request signal to the coupon issuing server 300.

The coupon issuing server 300 determines the validity of the request signal, and transmits the shop code of the temporary coupon requested by the user to the SMS server, and the SMS server transmits a corresponding signal according to a method previously selected by the user. Transmit to the user terminal 100.

In this case, the signal is preferably in the form of a callback SMS.

Such a configuration is easy to use for users who are not familiar with the new method among users.

The coupon issuance and authentication process using the coupon issuance authentication system using the temporary coupon and the actual coupon according to the present invention as follows.

7 is a flowchart illustrating a coupon issuance authentication method using a temporary coupon and an actual coupon according to the present invention.

Coupon issuance authentication method according to the present invention is largely, by sending a signal requesting the issuance of the temporary coupon of the affiliate using the user terminal to receive the temporary coupon, and using the temporary coupon stored in the user terminal at the actual payment time The coupon issuance server consists of a step of receiving a real coupon request.

It will be described on the basis of the coupon issuance authentication system using the temporary coupon and the actual coupon of FIG.

First, when the user terminal 100 sends a request signal of the temporary coupon to the SMS server, the SMS server transmits the request signal to the coupon issuing server 300 (S100).

Here, the request signal of the temporary coupon preferably includes a code of the affiliate.

Thereafter, the coupon issuing server 300 searches for an affiliate coupon information storage unit 310 and searches whether there is a valid coupon according to the received request signal (S101).

If there is no valid coupon according to the request signal, the user sends a text message indicating that the temporary coupon request is inappropriate, and if there is a valid coupon, updates the information in the user information storage unit 320 according to the request signal, coupon issuing control unit 330 In step S102, the temporary coupon is generated.

If the user who sent the request signal is a new customer, it is natural to create new customer information in the user information storage unit 320.

In addition, an additional discount benefit or a free service may be provided based on the customer information of the user who sent the request signal.

That is, it is possible to provide a differential discount rate for each customer according to the stored customer information.

The coupon issuing server 300 transmits the generated temporary coupon to the user terminal 100 through the SMS server (S103).

Here, the temporary coupon is preferably in the form of callback SMS.

The temporary coupon transmitted to the user terminal 100 is stored, and when the user deletes or loses the temporary coupon, the user may send a reissue request signal of the temporary coupon.

In this case, the re-issuance request signal is preferably composed of a combination of affiliate code and characters. This improves the processing capacity of the server by eliminating the step of determining the validity of the unnecessary request signal performed by the coupon issuing server 300.

Therefore, when the coupon issuing server 300 receives the reissuing request signal, the coupon issuing server 300 may transmit the reissued temporary coupon corresponding thereto to the user terminal 100.

At the time of payment, the user requests the issuance of the actual coupon to the coupon issuing server 300 through the WAP server using the temporary coupon received and stored (S104).

When the coupon issuing server 300 receives a request for issuing the actual coupon, the coupon issuing server 300 determines the validity of the temporary coupon (S105).

In this case, if the temporary coupon is not valid, the user is informed that the temporary coupon is inappropriate, and if valid, the coupon controller 330 generates an actual coupon in response to the temporary coupon (S106).

When requesting to issue an actual coupon using such a temporary coupon, instead of entering the issuance stage of the actual coupon at the request of the user, whether or not the present time when the user requested the actual coupon once again on the WAP is the time of payment and will receive the actual coupon now. It is preferable to include the step of confirming once again.

If the actual coupon is issued once using the temporary coupon in the verification step as described above may again include that the issuance of the actual coupon using the temporary coupon is limited.

Because issuance of a real coupon using a temporary coupon is made once, the actual coupon is not issued again using the temporary coupon. Therefore, a procedure for confirming again is provided to the user to avoid damage by issuing an incorrect actual coupon. It is to prevent.

The coupon issuing server 300 transmits the generated actual coupon to the WAP server, and the WAP server displays the actual coupon on the user terminal 100 so that the user can use the coupon for payment (S107). .

Here, the actual coupon displayed on the user terminal can fundamentally block the forgery and tampering with the coupon by the display by the WAP server.

The temporary coupon may optionally include any one item of the name of the coupon, the name of the affiliate, conditions of use, discount information, time of issue, affiliate code, affiliate phone number, and expiration date.

And the actual coupon optionally includes any one item of the name of the coupon, the name of the affiliate, terms of use, discount information, issue date, available date.

Here, the use condition indicates that the use of the coupon is allowed according to the purchase amount by the user.

In addition, in order to once again promote the store to the user, the temporary coupon request and issue time may not be allowed to request and issue the coupon.

And the temporary coupon issued until the actual coupon request and issuance point is stored in the user terminal, at the time of the request and issuance of the actual coupon to have the temporary coupon stored so that the request and issuance of the actual coupon is allowed and the credibility and promotion of coupon issuance and certification Improve properties.

As another embodiment of the coupon issuance authentication system using the temporary coupon and the actual coupon according to the present invention as shown in the configuration of Figure 5 so that it is possible to increase the convenience, such as promotion of the merchant, confirmation of the coupon type by building a WEB server The coupon issuance authentication method used is as follows.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a coupon issuance authentication method using a temporary coupon and an actual coupon according to another embodiment of the present invention.

The user terminal 100 checks the store information and the type of coupon through the WEB page provided by the WEB server 500 and requests for issuance of a temporary coupon of the selected store (S200).

Here, the request signal of the temporary coupon preferably includes a code of the affiliate.

The WEB server 500 transmits the signal to the coupon issuing server 300, and the coupon issuing server 300 searches for an affiliate coupon information storage unit 310 to search whether there is a valid coupon according to the received request signal. do.

If there is no valid coupon according to the request signal, the user sends a text message indicating that the temporary coupon request is inappropriate, and if there is a valid coupon, updates the information in the user information storage unit 320 according to the request signal, coupon issuing control unit 330 In step S201, the temporary coupon is generated.

Of course, if the information is updated from time to time by appropriately managing the WEB page, there will be no request for inappropriate temporary coupon issuance, but if the inappropriate temporary coupon request is caused by various factors, the user is notified by text message.

Here, if the user who sent the request signal is a new customer, it is natural to create new customer information in the user information storage unit 320.

In addition, an additional discount benefit or a free service may be provided based on the customer information of the user who sent the request signal.

That is, it is possible to provide a differential discount rate for each customer according to the stored customer information.

The temporary coupon generated by the coupon controller 330 is transmitted to the user terminal 100 (S201).

After the user has received the temporary coupon stores it and requests the actual coupon in the actual coupon issuance period (or actual coupon available period) (S205), the coupon issuing server 300 authenticates the temporary coupon ( S206) Up to step S208 of generating an actual coupon corresponding thereto and displaying it on the WAP, the same operation as in the previous embodiment is omitted.

The coupon issuing authentication method applying the configuration of FIG. 6 in which the system is constructed in connection with the ARS server in order to increase the user's accessibility to the coupon issuing authentication system according to the present invention is as follows.

It is determined whether there is a valid coupon of the corresponding store, and the ARS server 700 provides voice guidance in association with the coupon issuing server 300.

If the validity of the temporary coupon is determined, and the user requests that the temporary coupon is inadequate through voice guidance upon request of an invalid temporary coupon (S301).

Subsequently, the temporary coupon is transmitted to the user terminal 100 from step S302 of generating the temporary coupon (S303), and the user who receives the temporary coupon requests an actual coupon (S304). The step 300 of authenticating the temporary coupon (S305) to generate an actual coupon corresponding thereto (S306) and displaying it on the WAP (S307) will be omitted as it is the same as in the previous embodiment.
