Description

The application method of the gift coupon system with both electronic form and entity integration

The invention relates to the technical field of gift vouchers, in particular to a gift voucher system integrating electronic form and entity and its application method.

For a long time, it has been quite common for manufacturers in various industries to issue commodity (service) gift certificates. Commodity (service) gift certificates can provide massive discount wholesale sales services to achieve the commercial purpose of promoting consumption. There has always been a huge consumer market. For the industry, it is an alternative marketing strategy to collect funds in advance by issuing commodity (service) gift certificates, and at the same time provide preferential consumption discounts to stimulate consumers to return to consumption. For consumers, when consuming pre-sale commodity (service) gift certificates, in addition to having the opportunity to enjoy certain discounts, they can also use pre-sale commodity (service) gift certificates for gift giving or return consumption in the future to increase Consumers' willingness to purchase. In the future, if such a transaction model can be successfully implemented, a win-win goal can be achieved for the issuer and the consumer.

In the early days, traditional gift coupons were issued in printed paper. In recent years, with the advancement of technology and the popularization of mobile devices, due to the popularity of the Internet and the rise of e-commerce, many businesses have also launched virtual electronic gift coupons one after another. Traditional paper gift certificates have a fixed denomination and must be used in full for general consumption. Most merchants do not provide change, but virtual electronic gift certificates are more flexible because they can be used to store value. Time is consumed in stages according to individual needs. On the surface, although electronic gift vouchers have the above advantages. However, there are still disadvantages in actual use; the main reason is that the general gift certificates are purchased in bulk by the company welfare committee, and then distributed to each employee of the company in different amounts according to the internal position level as a holiday bonus. with the early traditional Compared with paper gift certificates, both purchase and distribution are very convenient. However, the design of the existing virtual electronic gift coupons is not yet perfect, and there is no problem in selling a small amount of small quantities. Once faced with bulk purchases, it is impossible to timely distribute and log in, add value, anti-counterfeiting, and anti-theft according to customized needs.

For example, for a company with hundreds or even thousands of employees, if the Welfare Committee wants to purchase electronic gift certificates in bulk, it must provide stored-value accounts related to hundreds to thousands of employees and the amount of stored-value gift certificates each person deserves. For operators who sell gift certificates, it is more troublesome than selling paper gift certificates in order to customize and allocate them to each person's account one by one, and add value to the amount corresponding to the electronic gift certificate. Therefore, improving commodity (service) coupons has problems such as distribution and registration, added value, anti-counterfeiting, and anti-theft, which are issues to be overcome by those skilled in the art.

In view of this, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a gift coupon system and its application method that can solve the current technical problems and integrate electronic forms and entities. It mainly includes: constructing a physical gift coupon on which There is a QR code (Quick Response is a kind of two-dimensional bar code), which is set on one side of the coupon, and the QR code includes a first public message and a second encrypted message; a cover code, which is set on the On the other side of the coupon, the upper layer of the covering password has a covering film to cover a password located on the lower layer, and the password corresponds to the second encrypted message of the QR code; a QR code scanner, which uses Read the first public message directly after reading the QR code; a dedicated decoding reader is used to read the QR code and directly read the second encrypted message; when the QR code is read by the The first public message is generated when the QR code scanner is read, and the second encrypted message is generated when the QR code is read by the dedicated decoding reader.

In a preferred implementation, the first public information contained in the QR code of the physical gift certificate is used to promote the product and brand information of the marketer, and the second encrypted message of the QR code is used to match the input of the covered password to provide consumption exchange to the stored value corresponding to the physical gift certificate.

In a preferred implementation, the dedicated decoding reader reads the QR code to generate the second encrypted message, and further inputs the correct password, and the second encrypted message of the QR code is matched with the input of the cover password, And provide the distribution registration, added value, anti-counterfeiting, and anti-theft of the physical gift certificate.

In a preferred implementation, the physical gift certificate is not damaged in the covering film, and can be directly purchased or exchanged for goods in the store, and the remaining balance of the physical gift certificate consumption can be stored in the personal account through the consumption system. into an e-voucher.

In a preferred implementation, the physical gift certificates can be sold and purchased separately at merchants' stores, and at the same time, can provide the company's welfare committee to facilitate batch transactions and unified purchases.

In a preferred implementation, the masked password is combined with the encrypted QR code, so that the coupon holder can store value and spend it in batches at different times.

By means of the above-mentioned technical means, the physical gift certificate of the present invention includes the first public message and the second encrypted message, which are public and hidden two-layer information, through a QR code. There are two different types of scanners to scan the same QR code and read the message, one of which is a general-purpose scanner, and the other is a scanner supported by specific software. The above two read out two layers of information, public information and hidden information, respectively. Combining the above technology with physical gift vouchers, in addition to promoting the marketer's products and brand information through public information, it is also possible to enter the password provided by the gift voucher through the hidden information request, so that consumers can redeem the corresponding stored value In this way, it not only has the advantages of traditional paper gift certificates, but also makes it convenient for the welfare committees of each company to purchase batch transactions in a unified manner, and then distribute the amount according to different levels as gifts to all colleagues in the company. At the same time, it also has the advantages of using electronic gift certificates. The advantage of being more flexible, allowing holders to store value at different times according to individual needs The benefits of consumption, the overall perfect design can effectively solve the problems of gift certificate distribution and registration, value-added, anti-counterfeiting, and anti-theft through encrypted QR codes and hidden passwords. The advantages and benefits of the present invention will be explained in detail by the following embodiments together with the accompanying drawings.

In order to facilitate further introduction and disclosure of the purpose of the present invention, system composition, application function features and effects thereof, the embodiments are exemplified in conjunction with the drawings, and the detailed description is as follows: Please refer to the first to third drawings. The present invention proposes a gift voucher system that integrates both electronic forms and entities, including: a physical gift voucher 100, on which there is a QR code 1 (Quick Response is a kind of two-dimensional barcode), a cover password 2, a QR code scanner 3, and a dedicated decoding reader 4.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the QR code 1 includes a first public message 11 and a second encrypted message 12 . The QR code 1 is set on one side of the physical gift certificate 100 .

The cover password 2 is set on the other side of the physical gift certificate 100, or is adjacent to any side of the QR code 1. The cover password 2 has a cover film 21 on the upper layer to cover a password 22 on the lower layer, and the password 22 corresponds to the second encrypted message 12 of the QR code 1 . Wherein, the upper covering film 21 may be a scratch film or a colored sticker.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the QR code scanner 3 is a scanner built in an electronic device or other QR app applications that need to be downloaded additionally. The QR code scanner 3 can be used to read all The QR code 1 is used to read the first public information 11 directly. Further, when the user activates the built-in QR code scanner 3 of the mobile device or other QR app applications, and scans the QR code 1 for reading, the screen of the mobile device turns to generate the first 1. Public information 11. The first public information 11 has a public link website 111 set up by the business, and its content can display the website links of the products or brands sold by the business. Users can also search for the public link website 111 set up by the operator through a common browser. This creation can directly link to the website only by scanning with the camera function, and quickly allows users to directly view relevant information of the operator.

In application, when the QR code 1 is read by the QR code scanner 3, the first public message 11 is generated, and the public link website 111 is jumped out. The public link website 111 is a brand website or product information set up by the industry, or a public service advertisement and other industry advertisements to increase revenue and so on.

The dedicated decoding reader 4 is a built-in scanner installed in a designated app on a mobile device or an additional specific scanning lens, wherein the designated app can support iOS or Android. The dedicated decoding reader 4 can be used to read the QR code 1 and directly read out the second encrypted message 12 . The second encrypted message 12 further has an encrypted link website 121 . Further, when the user activates the dedicated decoding reader 4 through the mobile device, and scans the QR code 1 to read the second encrypted message 12, the screen of the mobile device generates the encrypted link website 121 . The encrypted link website 121 has a password input area 122 for inputting the correct covering password 2 to make the second encrypted message 12 pop up and appear. The encrypted link website 121 is a private link set up by the operator. To open the internal information of the encrypted link website 121, only obtain the password 22, and then input the password 22 in the password input area 122, so that The encrypted link website 121 is opened to pop up the second encrypted message 12 .

In application, when the QR code 1 is read by the dedicated decoding reader 4, the second encrypted message 12 is generated, and the encrypted link website 121 is jumped out, and the stored value is completed by inputting the designated password 22 , It can also be customized one by one to allocate demand in each person's account to complete value storage or for product history certification.

As shown in Figure 3, in addition to the action that the above-mentioned consumer can operate the mobile device to scan the QR code 1 to complete the added value, this creation can also be applied to the physical channel through the special decoding held by the salesperson The reader 4 reads the QR code 1 and visually identifies whether the upper covering film 21 on the coupon 100 has been scratched to expose the password 22 . If the upper covering film 21 is scratched off, the store staff can still read the QR code 1 through the dedicated decoding reader 4 to generate the second encrypted message 12 and jump out of the encrypted link website 121. Then input the password 22 in the password input area 122, if the gift certificate 100 has not been used for value-added, finally the second encrypted message 12 will pop up and notify that the value-added is successful. This method can not only ensure the normal sale of the physical gift certificate 100 to obtain the effects of anti-theft, anti-counterfeiting and traceability, but also solve the disadvantage that the previous gift certificate cannot be exchanged as long as the upper cover film 21 is scratched. It is more convenient for the special-purpose decoding reader 4 to read the added value. Wherein, if the cover film 21 of the physical gift certificate 100 is not damaged, the physical gift certificate 100 can be directly purchased or exchanged for commodities in a store. After the user finishes consumption, the remaining balance of the physical gift certificate 100 can also be converted into an electronic gift certificate in the consumer's personal account through the system stored value.

With the above-mentioned technical means, the present invention can include the first public message 11 and the second encrypted message 12 through one QR code 1 . Two different types of QR code scanners 3 and a dedicated decoding reader 4 scan the same QR code 1 to read two layers of information, namely public information and hidden information. Combining the above technology with the physical gift certificate 100, in addition to promoting the product and brand information of the marketer through the public information, it is also possible to enter the password provided by the gift certificate through the hidden information request, so that consumers can redeem it to the corresponding store. In this way, it not only has the advantages of traditional paper gift certificates, but also integrates the electronic form and entity in the present invention In addition to being convenient to make, the gift certificates can be purchased separately by merchants for sales promotion. At the same time, they are also suitable for the welfare committees of various companies to facilitate unified procurement and batch transactions, and then distribute the amount according to different levels as gifts to all colleagues in the company. The application also has electronic functions. The function of the gift certificate is more flexible, allowing the holder to store value according to individual needs and spend in different times at different times. The overall perfect design is based on the encrypted QR code 1 and the cover code 2. The overall perfect design is achieved by Encrypted QR code 1 and cover code 2 can effectively solve the problems of coupon distribution and login, value-added, anti-counterfeiting, and anti-theft.
