Display on the display section of the terminal device.

Electronic marketing content is, for example, electronic benefit content. The electronic benefit content is, for example, content related to marketing provided to users, such as an electronic coupon or an electronic stamp card. Electronic marketing content is, for example, an electronic payment service such as an electronic flyer service (for example, an electronic version of a newspaper insert flyer) or a prepaid card (for example, a reloadable prepaid card that can be used at a member store of an electronic payment service). It may also be content that can be used for marketing. For example, the program causes the second image to be displayed on the display unit of the terminal device together with the reception unit in place of the first image in real time. The affiliated store interface 72 or instruction information described below is an example of a "program."

The terminal device acquires information for displaying the interface screen from the server device, displays the interface screen on the display unit based on the acquired information, and displays the interface screen on the display unit without going through other devices including the server device. The second image is displayed on the display section of the terminal device instead of the first image by processing in the own device.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of an application program, content creation support method, server device, and program of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The application program and the payment server cooperate to provide electronic payment services. In the following description, the application program will be referred to as a payment application. An electronic payment service is a service that supports payments for purchases of products and services at stores. A store is, for example, a physical store (actual store) that exists in real space, but may also include a virtual store for electronic commerce. Virtual stores may include those provided by entities different from the operator of the electronic payment service. In this case, when paying for shopping at the virtual store, the screen is controlled to transition to an interface screen of the electronic payment service. In electronic payment services, a store is treated as belonging to a member store (brand), and processing such as payment when a purchase is made at a store is mainly carried out between the user and the member store. be exposed. Alternatively, processing such as payment may be performed between the user and the store.

[Electronic payment service]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration for realizing an electronic payment service. The electronic payment service is realized mainly by the payment server 100. The payment server 100 communicates with each of the one or more user terminal devices 10, the one or more first store terminal devices 50, and the one or more second store terminal devices 70, for example, via the network NW. The network NW includes, for example, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a wireless base station, a provider device, and the like.

The user terminal device 10 is, for example, a portable terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The user terminal device 10 is a computer device having at least an optical reading function, a communication function, a display function, an input reception function, and a program execution function. In the following description, the configurations for realizing these functions are respectively referred to as a camera, a communication device, a touch panel, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and the like. In the user terminal device 10, the payment application 20 is executed by a processor such as a CPU, so that the payment application 20 operates in cooperation with the payment server 100 to provide electronic payment services to the user. The payment application 20 is installed on the user terminal device 10 from an application store, for example, and controls a camera, a communication device, a touch panel, and the like.

The first store terminal device 50 is installed in a store, for example. The first store terminal device 50 is a computer device having at least a product price acquisition function, an optical reading function, a program execution function, and a communication function. The first store terminal device 50 includes a so-called POS (Point of Sale) device, and the POS device may realize a product price acquisition function and an optical reading function. The store code image 60 is placed in a store, and a code image such as a QR code (registered trademark) is printed on a paper or plastic medium. Note that the store code image 60 may be displayed on a display (or a display of a terminal device such as a smartphone) placed in the store.

The second store terminal device 70 is used by a member store or a store manager (operator) of the member store. The second store terminal device 70 is a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, or the like. In the second store terminal device 70, an interface 72 for member stores operates. The member store interface 72 may be an application for member stores or may be a browser. The affiliated store interface 72 accepts the creation and setting of coupons by the operator, and transmits them to the payment server 100. The second store terminal device 70, which is a smartphone, has the function of displaying a code image corresponding to the store code image and reading the code image displayed by the user terminal device 10 by executing an application for member stores. have

The payment server 100 realizes electronic payment based on payment information received from the user terminal device 10 or the first store terminal device 50. The first store terminal device 50 may include a POS device and a member store server, in which case payment information is transmitted from the POS device to the payment server 100 via the member store server. In the following description, it is assumed that payment information is transmitted from the first store terminal device 50 without making any particular distinction.

2 and 3 are sequence diagrams illustrating the general flow of electronic payment. There may be two patterns, pattern 1 and pattern 2, in electronic payment.

In the case of pattern 1 (hereinafter referred to as user scan) shown in FIG. 2, the user terminal device 10 with the payment application 20 activated decodes the store code image 60 using an optical reading function (S1). The store code image 60 includes information on a store URL (Uniform Resource Locator). This store URL is the domain of the electronic payment service added with information that can identify the store, and is associated with member store IDs, store IDs, etc. in the payment server 100 (described later). The payment application 20 transmits first payment information including the store URL and account ID to the payment server 100 (S2). The payment server 100 searches for store information (described later) from the member store ID and store ID corresponding to the store URL, obtains the member store name and store name information (S3), and sends the information to the payment application 20 (S4). . The user inputs the payment amount into the user terminal device 10 on the screen on which the member store name and store name are displayed (S5). Then, the user terminal device 10 generates second payment information including at least the payment amount and transmits it to the payment server 100 (S6). The payment server 100 performs electronic payment based on the received second payment information (S7). Then, the payment server 100 transmits a payment completion notification (information for displaying the payment completion screen) to the payment application 20 (S8), and the payment application 20 displays the payment completion screen (S9). Note that the store code image 60 may include not only the store URL but also information on the payment amount. In this case, the step for the user to input the payment amount is omitted, and the first payment information includes information on the payment amount and is sent to the payment server 100. Information on the member store name and store name may be included and displayed on the payment completion screen.

In the case of pattern 2 (hereinafter referred to as store scan) shown in FIG. 3, when the payment application 20 is started, when a payment operation is performed on the payment application 20, and when the automatic update timing (for example, every minute) is reached. , and at other timings, the payment application 20 transmits a one-time code issuance request to the payment server 100 (S11). The payment server 100 generates a one-time code (S12) and sends it to the payment application 20 (S13). The payment application 20 displays a code image, such as a QR code or barcode, generated based on the one-time code (S14). The user holds up (presents) the display surface of the user terminal device 10 to the first store terminal device 50, and the first store terminal device 50 decodes the code image using an optical reading function and obtains a one-time code, etc. (S15). Then, the first store terminal device 50 generates payment information including a one-time code, payment amount, member store ID, store ID, etc., and transmits it to the payment server 100 (S16). Information on the payment amount is obtained in advance by barcode reading, manual input, etc. The payment server 100 identifies the user corresponding to the one-time code based on the received information and performs electronic payment (S17). Then, the payment server 100 transmits a payment completion notification to the payment application 20 (S18), and the payment application 20 displays a payment completion screen (S19).

Note that electronic payment may be performed using only one of the above patterns. Moreover, the "account ID" explained in FIG. 2 may be other information (for example, a telephone number) that can be used as user identification information. Furthermore, the issuance of a one-time code may be omitted in the store scan, and the payment application 20 may display a code image generated based on the user's account ID. In that case, the payment server 100 identifies the user corresponding to the account ID instead of identifying the user corresponding to the one-time code.

[Payment server]
FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the payment server 100 according to the first embodiment. The payment server 100 includes, for example, a communication section 110, a payment content providing section 120, a payment processing section 130, an information management section 140, and a storage section 170. Components other than the communication unit 110 and the storage unit 170 are realized by, for example, a hardware processor such as a CPU executing a program (software). Some or all of these components are hardware (circuit parts) such as LSI (Large Scale Integration), ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), and GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

Information such as usage amount, available deferred payment amount, payment method settings, bank account, credit card number, charging history information, payment history information, etc. are associated with each other. The user URL is used for remittance processing between users. When registering for a new electronic payment service, it is mandatory to register a phone number and password. The account ID is issued to the user by the payment server 100, and the user ID is an ID that can be arbitrarily set (or does not need to be set) by the user. Similarly, e-mail address, name, address, and date of birth are information that can (or does not need to be) set arbitrarily by the user. The registration date is the date the user registered with the electronic payment service (the date the account was created). Hereinafter, the user instance (electronic payment account) to which this information is associated will be referred to as an account.

The charge balance is information indicating the balance of electronic money set by the user transferring money to the account in advance. Methods of remittance include remittance from an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) of a designated business (bank), remittance from a registered bank account, etc. The deferred payment setting is information indicating whether the settings for enabling electronic payment by deferred payment have been completed, and is set to either "completed" or "not yet". The deferred payment allowance is the maximum amount of deferred payment that can be used each month, the deferred payment usage amount is the amount of deferred payment that has already been used in the current month, and the available deferred payment amount is calculated by subtracting the deferred payment usage amount from the deferred payment allowance. , is the amount of deferred payment available for the current month. In the figure, only one deferred payment limit is shown, but in reality, there are additional daily upper limit amounts, and the lower of these may be set as the deferred payment limit. Further details of deferred payment will be discussed later. The payment method setting is setting information that indicates whether the user will perform electronic payment using the charge balance or payment by deferred payment at that time. The bank account and credit card number are each information about a bank account or credit card number (account number, card number) that can be used to deposit money into the electronic payment service. The charging history information is a history of the user increasing the charging balance by remitting money to the electronic payment service in advance. The payment history information is information that shows the details of the payments made by the user (date and time, store ID of the store where the purchase was made, payment amount, payment method, etc.) for each payment.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the affiliated store/store information 176. The affiliated store/store information 176 includes, for example, a first table 176A in which affiliated store IDs and store IDs are associated with store URLs, and affiliated store names and sales proceeds (described above) are associated with affiliated store IDs. 176B, and a third table 176C in which store IDs are associated with store IDs. In addition to this information, the member store/store information 176 may include information such as the member store or store category, store location, payment pattern, and the like.

The information management unit 140 manages user information 172, member store/store information 176, and coupon information 178 based on information acquired from the user terminal device 10 and the second store terminal device 70. The information management unit 140 adds, edits, and deletes new records for user information 172, member store/store information 176, and coupon information 178.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the coupon information 178. Coupon information 178 is information indicating a list of coupons generated by a member store or a store manager (operator). In the coupon information 178, for example, information such as the start date of use, end date of use, termination conditions, announcement date (or announcement period/posting date, posting period), budget, target users, etc. is associated with the coupon number. This is the information given. In addition to the above, the coupon information 178 includes information set by the administrator, such as the cover image, title, and explanatory text of the coupon.

[Electronic payment]
When payment information is acquired from the user terminal device 10 or the first store terminal device 50, the payment processing unit 130 refers to the user information 172 and acquires the "payment method setting" of the user. The payment processing unit 130 performs electronic payment as follows for a user whose "payment method setting" is set to "charge balance". The payment processing unit 130 performs electronic payment by, for example, decreasing the charge balance managed in association with the user ID and increasing the item value of the member store's sales proceeds. For example, the item value of the sales proceeds of a member store is not used as electronic money itself, but the amount corresponding to the item value of the sales proceeds is determined in a cycle according to the agreement between the member store and the electronic payment service. Money will be transferred to your bank account.

The payment processing unit 130 performs electronic payment in the following manner for users whose "setting information" is set to "deferred payment." Deferred payment is set up separately from "credit payment" in collaboration with a credit card company, which is a separate entity from the operator of the electronic payment service, and the operator of the electronic payment service is the creditor. , which allows electronic payments that do not depend on the charge balance within the deferred payment limit. Note that in order to receive the deferred payment service, the user may be required to obtain a credit card provided by the operator of the electronic payment service. The amount used for deferred payment is paid in one month's worth on the next month's payment date, for example, by debiting from a bank account. In this case, the payment processing unit 130 performs provisional payment by adding the payment amount to the deferred payment usage amount and subtracting the same amount from the available deferred payment amount, and on the closing date, the payment for the current month is transferred to the next month's payment date as described above. Process to withdraw the money. Note that if the payment amount exceeds the available deferred payment amount at the time of provisional payment, an error notification is sent back to the payment application 20.

[Coupon creation process]
A member store or store manager (creator) can generate a coupon for the electronic payment service via the member store interface 72. The creator operates the member store interface 72 to display an interface screen for coupon creation on the display section of the second store terminal device 70. The creator can create a coupon by inputting information for creating the coupon into an interface screen displayed on the display unit. At this time, the creator can use the interface screen to decide on the cover image, which is the background image of the coupon, and change the title, text, usage start date, usage end date, termination conditions, announcement date (or announcement period/posting). Enter coupon information such as date, publication period), budget, and target users. The background image, title, description, period information (use start date, use end date, termination conditions, announcement date (or announcement period/posting date, posting period)), and information about benefits (budget) are determined by the content. This is an example.

The affiliated store interface 72 causes the display unit to display an image in which the content determined or input as described above is reflected in the image of the coupon being created. The affiliated store interface 72 displays an interface screen or makes a determination based on command information to be described later, for example.

[Determine cover image]
The member store interface 72 displays an electronic coupon image (the first image) in which the background image selected by the coupon creator on the interface screen (an example of a "reception section") is reflected in the image in real time. 2 images) on the display unit.

The image is an image in which the coupon is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal device 10 of the user to whom the coupon is provided. The image is an image of a display mode of an interface screen related to an electronic payment service that is displayed on the display unit of the user terminal device 10 by the payment application 20 provided in cooperation with the payment server. Specifically, the image is an image that the payment application 20 displays on the display unit of the user terminal device 10 in response to the user performing an operation to display detailed information about the coupon.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen IM1 for determining a cover image provided by the member store interface 72. Interface screen IM1 includes area AR1 and area AR2. The area AR1 is an area for determining or inputting coupon contents (cover image, title, text, period, budget, etc.). The area AR1 is, for example, an area (an example of a "receiving section") that receives a sample of a cover image and an operation related to determining a cover image. For example, the cover image can be determined by the creator selecting a sample image or a captured image. The area AR2 is, for example, an area where an image of a coupon reflecting the content of the operation performed on the area AR1 is displayed. Area AR2 is an area where a coupon image reflecting the cover image determined in area AR1 is displayed in real time.

Interface screen IM1 includes button B1 for displaying the next interface screen. Button B1 may be controlled to be active when a cover image is determined. When button B1 is operated, the next interface screen (for example, interface screen IM3 in FIG. 10) is displayed.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the interface screen IM2 that is displayed when a cover image is determined. When the creator decides on a predetermined cover image from among the cover images C1 (selecting by tapping or clicking), the background of the coupon in the area AR3 included in the area AR2 of the interface screen IM2 is displayed in real time on the selected cover image. Change with .

As described above, the affiliated store interface 72 generates an image that reflects the cover image determined in real time, and causes the display unit to display an interface screen that includes the generated image. This allows the creator to recognize the image of the coupon, improving convenience. The image of a coupon influences the degree of use of the coupon and the sales of member stores. The member store interface 72 can contribute to improving the sales of the member store by supporting the creation of coupons that encourage users to use the coupons.

[Determine title and description]
The affiliated store interface 72 displays an image of the coupon in which the title and description entered by the creator through operations performed on the interface screen (an example of a "reception section") are reflected in the image in real time on the display section. Display.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen IM3 for determining the title and explanatory text provided by the member store interface 72. A description similar to that of the interface screen IM1 or the interface screen IM2 will be omitted. The same applies to interface screen IM4 and interface screen IM5, which will be described later.

The area AR1 on the interface screen IM3 is an area (an example of a "reception section") for inputting a title and a description. For example, the creator can determine the title and text by inputting the title (C2) and explanatory text (C4). Area AR2 is an area where a coupon image reflecting the title and text input in area AR1 is displayed in real time. For example, the title (C2) and the explanatory text (C3) are reflected in the area AR4 of the area AR2. Button B1 may be controlled to be active when one or both of a title and a description are input. When button B1 is operated, the next interface screen (for example, interface screen IM4 in FIG. 11) is displayed.

As described above, the affiliated store interface 72 generates an image that reflects the title and explanatory text determined in real time, and causes the display unit to display an interface screen that includes the generated image. This allows the creator to recognize the image of the coupon, improving convenience. Furthermore, as mentioned above, it can contribute to improving the sales of member stores.

[Determination of information regarding period]
The member store interface 72 displays, on the display section, an image of the coupon in which period information regarding the period entered by the creator through operations performed on the interface screen (an example of a "reception section") is reflected in the image in real time. Display.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen IM4 for determining the publication period provided by the member store interface 72. Area AR1 on interface screen IM4 is an area (an example of a "reception section") for specifying a publication period (notification period). For example, the creator can determine the publication period by specifying the publication period. In area AR2, a coupon image reflecting the publication period (C4) input in area AR1 is displayed in real time. For example, the posting period (C4) is reflected in the area AR5 of the area AR2. Button B1 may be controlled to be active when the publication period is input. When button B1 is operated, the next interface screen (for example, interface screen IM5 in FIG. 12) is displayed.

As described above, the affiliated store interface 72 generates an image that reflects the publication period determined in real time, and causes the display unit to display an interface screen that includes the generated image. This allows the creator to recognize the image of the coupon, improving convenience. Furthermore, as mentioned above, it can help member stores improve their sales. Although not shown, in addition to the interface screen for specifying the posting period, the creator is also provided with an interface screen for specifying the coupon usage start date and usage end date.

[Determination of budget information]
The affiliated store interface 72 causes the display unit to display an image of a coupon in which information about the budget is reflected in the image in real time through an operation performed by the creator on the interface screen (an example of a “reception unit”).

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of an interface screen IM5 for determining the publication period provided by the member store interface 72. Area AR1 on interface screen IM5 is an area for inputting a budget (an example of a "reception section"). The budget includes the award rate of points to be given, the amount of points to be given, the upper limit of the budget, etc. For example, the creator can determine the budget by inputting the budget. In area AR2, a coupon image reflecting the budget input in area AR1 is displayed in real time. For example, when the bar in the area AR6 of the area AR2 is scrolled, the image scrolls and the point award rate and award amount are displayed. In this way, the budget is reflected in the image in real time. Button B1 may be controlled to be active when one or both of the point amount and the budget upper limit are input. When button B1 is operated, the next interface screen (an interface screen for confirmation, not shown) is displayed.

As described above, the member store interface 72 generates an image that reflects the budget determined in real time, and causes the display unit to display an interface screen that includes the generated image. This allows the creator to recognize the image of the coupon, improving convenience. Furthermore, as mentioned above, it can contribute to improving the sales of member stores.

Further, the affiliated store interface 72 determines in real time whether the input (specified) information satisfies the coupon creation conditions, and notifies the creator of the determination result. If the amount of points to be awarded inputted by the creator on the interface screen IM5 does not satisfy the creation conditions, the creator is notified of information indicating that the creation conditions are not satisfied. For example, if the amount of points awarded exceeds a threshold set for the minimum transaction amount, a notification indicating that the amount exceeds the threshold is issued.

Furthermore, regarding the title and explanatory text, if a predetermined wording that is a creation condition is input, the affiliated store interface 72 notifies that the creation condition is not satisfied. Regarding the posting period, the start date of use, and the end date of use, if the creation conditions are not met, the affiliated store interface 72 notifies that the creation conditions are not met. As described above, creation conditions are set for items (content) determined by the creator, and it is determined whether the creation conditions are satisfied. When the creation conditions are met, button B1 may be controlled to be active.

As described above, the member store interface 72 determines in real time whether the input item satisfies the creation conditions and notifies the creator of the determination result, so the creator can recognize the determination result in real time. This improves convenience for creators.

[Sequence Diagram]
FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the member store interface 72 and the payment server 100. First, when the creator operates the second store terminal device 70 to activate the affiliated store interface 72 (S50), a request corresponding to the activation is sent to the payment server 100 (S52). In response to the request, the payment server 100 displays a login screen on the display section of the second store terminal device 70 in cooperation with the member store interface 72 (S54). The affiliated store interface 72 transmits the login ID and password input by the creator to the payment server 100 (S56).

If the payment server 100 determines that the login ID and password are a combination of a preset login ID and password, the payment server 100 sends information for displaying the interface screen, a script, and various information to the member store interface 72. (S58).

Information for displaying an interface screen is information used by the member store interface 72 to generate an interface screen to be displayed on the display unit (for example, information for displaying an interface screen for inputting coupon information). It is. The command information is a command/instruction to the member store interface 72, and indicates whether the content such as the title, explanatory text, period information (posting period, start date of use, and end date of use), budget, etc. satisfies the creation conditions. This is the processing content of the process for determining. The command information may include details of processing for displaying various interface screens. The command information is, for example, a simple computer program such as a script. The instruction information is, for example, a computer program that does not require compilation.

The various information is, for example, information used for determination using creation conditions. Various types of information include, for example, words whose use is restricted by the creator, information regarding coupons created in the past, and the like. The various information includes, for example, the usage start date, usage end date, and notification period (notification start date and notification end date) of coupons created in the past. Note that the instruction information may not be provided at the above timing, but may be provided when the member store interface 72 is installed, or may be provided at other timing.

Next, the affiliated store interface 72 causes the display unit to display an interface screen for determining the cover screen of the coupon, and determines the cover screen according to the creator's operation on the interface screen (S60). Next, the member store interface 72 causes the display unit to display an interface screen for determining the title and explanatory text of the coupon, and determines the title and explanatory text according to the creator's operation on the interface screen (S62 ).

Next, the affiliated store interface 72 causes the display unit to display an interface screen for determining coupon period information, and determines period information in accordance with the creator's operation on the interface screen (S64). Next, the member store interface 72 causes the display unit to display an interface screen for determining the coupon budget, and determines the budget according to the creator's operation on the interface screen (S66). In the processing of S60 to S66 described above, the affiliated store interface 72 determines in real time whether each item (content) satisfies the coupon creation conditions according to the content, based on the command information described above.

Next, the member store interface 72 transmits the information determined in the above process to the payment server 100 (S68). Next, the payment server 100 executes various processes based on the transmitted information (S70), and transmits a completion notification to the member store interface 72 (S72). The above various processes include, for example, a process that determines whether the information determined in each of the above processes matches preset conditions, and a process that performs a determination that is not performed in the above determination process. etc.

As described above, the affiliated store interface 72 and the payment server 100 cooperate to support coupon creation.

[flowchart]
Before displaying the interface screen, the member store interface 72 obtains command information from the payment server 100 for determining whether the content satisfies the creation conditions, and displays the command information and the coupon creator on the interface screen. It is determined whether the content satisfies the creation conditions based on the content input by the operation performed on the content. If the content does not meet the creation conditions, the member store interface 72 displays an interface screen on the display that includes an image (first image or second image) and information indicating that the content does not meet the creation conditions. Display.

FIG. 14 is an example of a flowchart of the determination process executed by the member store interface 72. Note that the order in this flowchart is an example, and the order may be changed as appropriate. Also, part of the process may be changed or omitted.

First, the affiliated store interface 72 determines whether an operation to display an interface screen for determining a cover image has been performed (S100). When the operation is performed, the member store interface 72 displays the interface screen and determines whether a title has been input (S102). When a title is input, the affiliated store interface 72 determines whether the input title satisfies the creation conditions based on the command information (S104).

If the input title does not satisfy the creation conditions, the affiliated store interface 72 causes the display unit to display information indicating that the creation conditions are not satisfied (S106), and returns to the process of S102. If the input title satisfies the creation conditions, one routine of this process ends. Note that if the title has been modified, the process of S102 is executed. Similar processing is performed for the explanatory text as well.

FIG. 15 is another example of a flowchart of the determination process executed by the member store interface 72. Part of the process may be changed or omitted.

First, the affiliated store interface 72 determines whether a title and a description that meet the creation conditions have been input (S200). If a title and description that meet the creation conditions are input (if a positive determination result is obtained in the process of S104 in FIG. 14), the member store interface 72 controls button B1 from an inactive state to an active state. (S202). When the active button B1 is operated, the affiliated store interface 72 causes the display unit to display the next interface screen. In the above example, we focused on the title and description, but the same process can be performed even when an interface screen for inputting other content items (period information, budget) is displayed. be exposed.

As described above, the affiliated store interface 72 determines in real time whether or not the creation conditions are met, and supports the easy creation of coupons that meet the creation conditions.
