1, the server 100 includes a communication module 110, a memory 120, and a processor 130. In addition,

The communication module 110 processes data transmission / reception with the user terminal 200.

The memory 120 stores a user-selectable gift certificate issuing program. At this time, the user-selected type gift certificate issuing program provides a user interface for selecting the issuance conditions of the gift certificate, and generates and issues a gift certificate according to the issuance condition selected by the user terminal 200 through the user interface.

The processor 130 executes the user-selected gift certificate issuing program stored in the memory 120 and performs the processing accordingly.

Specifically, the processor 130 executes the user-selected type gift certificate issuing program and performs the following processing. The processor 130 provides a user interface to the user terminal 200 when a connection request is received from the user terminal 200 through the communication module 110. [ The processor 130 generates and issues a gift certificate having a publication condition corresponding to the user selection information input from the user terminal 200 through the user interface. At this time, the issue condition of the gift certificate may include at least one item of a gift certificate type, a product category, a use place, a product type, an amount, a shipping type, and a design.

The gift voucher type item of the issuance condition is set so that it can select either the integrated type usable in two or more usages and the one usable in one usable place. An integrated type is a 'combined gift certificate' that combines two or more uses (for example, by 'brand'). Such a combined gift voucher may be exchanged for the goods granted to the combined voucher under the same conditions in two or more uses selected by the user. For reference, 'commodity' in the embodiment of the present invention means all commodities and services, such as commodities and services, provided according to a certain value in the use place. In addition, the goods may be the money itself, in which case the user may provide any goods or services in accordance with the amount awarded to the gift certificate.

The item category category of the issuance condition is a category of various goods provided by a plurality of users to be easily selected by the user in accordance with the same or similar topic. For example, it is possible to select any one of categories such as restaurants, .

The use condition item of the issuance condition is set so that at least one of the plurality of previously registered use conditions can be selected. At this time, the processor 130 may provide information on a plurality of companies or brands that are pre-registered as use destinations through a user interface.

The item type item of the issue condition is set so that at least one of the actual products provided by each use place can be selected. For example, the processor 130 may provide information on a product provided by each use destination through a user interface.

The amount item of the issuance condition may be set so that either one of a plurality of predetermined amounts of money is selected or an arbitrary amount of money can be directly inputted by the user. For example, the processor 130 may provide a predetermined amount and a plurality of amounts of merchandise for each use item through a user interface. In addition, the processor 130 may provide a user interface that allows a user to directly input an amount of money by a preset amount of money through the user terminal 200. [

The shipping type item of the issue condition can be set to select one of the types of shipping types such as a text message, a mobile application, a paper sheet, and a card. At this time, the text message is a short message service (SMS) / long message service (MMS) / multimedia messaging service (MMS), which transmits a gift certificate issued in the form of digital data (for example, character information, Messaging Service). For reference, gift certificates issued in the form of tributaries and cards can be produced in the form of printing various information on paper and cards. At this time, the processor 130 may transmit the data of the gift certificate to the linked output device (for example, a printer or the like) so that the user-selected gift certificate is printed. In addition, when the text message or the mobile application is selected as the shipping type, the processor 130 outputs an input window or an input area for inputting destination information (for example, telephone number information) for sending the gift certificate to the user terminal 200 A user interface can be provided. Accordingly, the user-selected gift certificate generated by the user's selection can be issued directly to the user terminal 200 through the user interface or can be issued to the user terminal of any user designated by the user. In addition, the processor 130 may provide a user interface that allows the user terminal 200 to input address information to deliver the gift certificate when a tributary or card is selected as the shipping type. For reference, the target of sending or delivering the gift certificate may be a user of the user terminal 200 requesting the publication of the user-selected gift certificate, or another target selected by the user. That is, the user can directly purchase the gift certificate or present it to another user by applying the desired issuance condition.

The design item of the issue condition may be set to select any one of a plurality of predetermined images, or to allow a user to directly upload an arbitrary image. At this time, the image is displayed in the gift certificate, and may be displayed in the background or any area of the gift certificate.

The processor 130 generates a product information code corresponding to at least one of the issuance condition items of the voucher type, the use place, the product type, and the shipping type among the user selection information input through the user interface, Generate the code. Then, the processor 130 combines the generated product information code and random number code to generate a product combination code, and then gives it to the newly issued gift certificate. In addition, the processor 130 issues the gift certificate indicated by the product combination code according to the shipping type selected by the user selection information.

FIG. 2 is a view showing an example of a product combination code given to a user-selectable gift certificate according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the product combination code generated by the processor 130 includes a "issuance condition information section" in which code values for each item of the use-place information, the voucher type, and the dispatch type are stored and a random number having a plurality of digits And a 'gift certificate identification information section' in which a code is stored. For reference, the code value of the usage information item of the 'issuance condition information section' may be an identification number and a product number for each place of use (for example, 'brand') set in advance. The code value of the gift certificate type item may be a number for distinguishing the integrated type and the single type, and the code value of the shipping type item may be a predetermined number for each type of the transmission type such as a text message, a mobile application, a branch, and a card. Such a product combination code can be used in the processing of the certificate of the gift certificate through the use place later.

Referring back to FIG. 1, the processor 130 may issue a gift certificate after determining the validity of the gift certificate according to the issuance conditions selected by the user, according to various conditions set for the previously used applications and products.

Specifically, the memory 120 stores a plurality of reference article information codes in which the values of the predetermined combination issue condition items are combined. For reference, the combinable issuance condition items can be set by the kind of goods or the amount of money registered in advance as a gift certificate for each place of use.

At this time, the processor 130 refers to the reference article information code stored in the memory 120, and determines the validity of the product information code generated according to the user selection information. If the product information code according to the user selection information is valid, the processor 130 may combine the product information code and the random number code.

When it is determined that the product information code is invalid, the processor 130 detects a reference product information code that is most similar to the product information code according to the user selection information, and outputs the issue condition information according to the detected reference product information code to the user And transmitted to the user terminal 200 through the interface. At this time, the processor 130 may compare the same item between the goods information code and the reference goods information code according to the user selection information, and calculate the similarity between the two information codes according to the predetermined similarity calculation standard. For example, the processor 130 may set the number of the same items in the issuance condition items as similarity calculation criteria. In addition, the processor 130 may assign a priority or a weight to an arbitrary issuance condition item, and may calculate the similarity if the priority or the item having a high weight is the same. If the processor 130 does not match the product information code corresponding to the user selection information in the reference product information code, or if only those items with similarity lower than the reference value are detected, the processor 130 transmits a predetermined reference product information code to the user terminal 200) can be recommended.

On the other hand, the processor 130 recommends a combination of the issuance conditions according to the reference article information code through the user interface, and receives user selection information for the recommendation or user selection information for the new issuance condition from the user terminal 200 . In this case, the processor 130 may re-determine the validity by comparing the product information code according to the re-input issuance condition with the reference product information code through the user terminal 200. [

In addition, the processor 130 can manage the issuance condition information for each voucher and the voucher information for each user by matching and storing the product combination code of the generated voucher and the user identification information. At this time, the processor 130 can store and manage the information of the product information code selected by the user, in addition to the product information code generated according to the user selection information, to the user terminal 200. [ The processor 130 may store and manage the issuance condition information and the gift certificate information for each user, such as a user data analysis tool. The stored gift certificate issuance condition information for each user can be used as data for analyzing product preference and brand preference of each user, and can be used for target marketing or the like. In addition, the pre-stored voucher issuance condition information can be used to process the voucher charging function described below.

In addition, the processor 130 may issue a user-terminal-provided gift certificate to the user terminal 200 by providing a user interface configured to process the payment for the gift certificate before issuing the gift certificate.

For reference, the user-selectable gift certificate request program may be installed in the form of an application, and may be the same or an application linked to the user-selectable gift certificate issuance request application described above. That is, the charging function of the user-selected type gift certificate can be implemented as any one of the functions that the user can select through the gift certificate issuing application.

The processor 230 'executes the user-selectable gift certificate recharge request program stored in the memory 220' and performs processing accordingly. When the user selectable gift certificate issuing request program is executed, the processor 230 'transmits a user interface connection request for charging to the server 100' through the communication module 210 '. In response to the connection request, the processor 230 'inputs and transmits user selection information through a user interface provided from the server 100'. For reference, the user selection information input through the user terminal 200 'includes a product combination code of the user-selected type gift certificate already issued and used, and may further include a charge condition item selection value. At this time, the processor 230 'can receive the product combination code of the user-selectable gift voucher through the input means (for example, a touch pad, a visual code reader, etc.) of the user terminal 200'.

The balance management server 300 includes a communication module 310, a memory 320, and a processor 330.

The communication module 310 transmits and receives data to and from the user-selectable gift certificate providing server 100 '. In addition, the communication module 310 transmits / receives data to / from pre-registered usage terminal (not shown). For reference, a usage terminal (not shown) may be a POS terminal that performs authentication and payment processing so as to use a user-selected type gift certificate, for example, a terminal installed in a pre-registered store for each use place. The communication module 310 can receive the settlement result of the user-selected type gift certificate from the use terminal (not shown). The settlement result of the user selectable gift voucher can also be transmitted through the user selectable gift voucher providing server 100 '.

The memory 320 stores a user-selectable gift certificate management program. The user-selectable gift certificate management program is a program for inputting a charge value according to a requested charge condition for a user-selectable gift certificate requested to be charged and updating and storing the charge value.

In addition, all the user-selectable gift certificate information issued through the user-selectable gift certificate providing server 100 'or the user-selectable gift certificate information subjected to the charge processing at least once are stored in the memory 320. [

On the other hand, when the settlement result for an arbitrary user-selected type gift certificate from the use terminal (not shown) is received in real time via the communication module 310, the processor 330 adds the received settlement result to the product combination code of the user- And stores the updated data. That is, the processor 330 completes use of the user-selected type gift certificates, or stores the product usage period, the number of times, or the amount of money in the memory 320.

In addition, the processor 330 executes the user-selected type gift certificate management program stored in the memory 320 and performs the processing according to the execution.

Specifically, when the processor 330 receives a charging request including a product combination code for an arbitrary user-selected type gift certificate from the user-selected type gift certificate providing server 100 'through the communication module 310, the processor 330 stores it in the memory 320 And detects the gift certificate information matched with the received product combination code among the gift certificate information.

When the detected gift certificate information exists, the processor 330 performs the charging process according to the charging type and the charging value included in the charging request, and updates the charging process result for the corresponding gift certificate. That is, the processor 330 extends the period of use stored in the product combination code, increases the number of times of use, or increases the amount of the product combination code and stores it again. The processor 330 may process the charging of the product combination code to the same value as the initial issuance condition when the charging request does not include a separate charging type and charging value.

When the detected gift certificate information does not exist, that is, when the user selects the first gift certificate, the processor 330 determines whether the user selected gift certificate is included in the charge request received from the user selectable gift certificate providing server 100 ' Based on the gift certificate issuing condition information, charge can be processed with the same value as the first issuance condition for the product combination code. At this time, the processor 330 may store the gift certificate issuance condition information, which is the first issuance condition, in the memory 320 by matching with the goods combination code. As described above, the gift certificate issuance condition information matched to the product combination code can be used as the reference value of the filling process.

5 is a data flowchart illustrating a method of providing a charging function of a user-selected type gift certificate through a user-selected type gift certificate providing system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user terminal 200 'executes a program for connecting to the user-selected type gift certificate providing server 100' to charge the user-selected type gift certificate, and transmits a charging user interface connection request to the server 100 ' (S501).

In response to the received connection request, the server 100 'provides the charging user interface for selecting the charging condition of the gift certificate to the user terminal 200' (S502).

Next, the user terminal 200 'receives the user selection information including the product combination code of the gift certificate through the charging user interface provided by the server 100', and transmits the user selection information to the server 100 '(S503).

At this time, the user selection information may further include a charging condition (a charging type, a charging value, and the like).

Next, the server 100 'detects a gift certificate issuance condition matched with the product combination code included in the user selection information input through the charging user interface (S504).

Then, the server 100 'transmits the goods combination code and the detected gift certificate issuance condition (or charging condition) information to the balance management server 300 to request charging (S505).

The balance management server 300 performs charging processing for the user-selected type gift certificate based on the received goods combination code and gift certificate issuance condition information (S506).

At this time, the balance management server 300 renews the stored usage period for the product combination code, increases the use frequency, increases the amount, and restores it.
