1 is an overall configuration diagram of a coupon issuance system that allows a user to selectively issue a coupon according to a coupon usage location according to the present invention.

The coupon issuance system according to the present invention can increase the satisfaction with coupon service because the coupon provided by the coupon issuing organization can be selectively selected and received according to the intended use (or brand) by the user, Accordingly, the main technical purpose is to improve advertising efficiency corresponding to the ultimate purpose of issuance of coupons and to expand advertising functions by using the coupon system according to the present invention to increase more improved advertising effects.

The coupon ordering terminal 100 is an institution that issues coupons to be provided to users (or consumers), and although the term "terminal" is used in the present invention, it includes the role of an ordering server responsible for coupon ordering. The coupon issuing terminal 100 may correspond to any institution (or company), and aims to issue service-level coupons for advertising purposes of the institution. At this time, the issuance is requested according to the amount of the coupon to be issued, and the corresponding amount is paid to the coupon operation server 200 to be described later.

In addition, as mentioned above, the coupon issuing terminal 100 generates an advertisement page in order to increase the advertisement effect by providing the advertisement information of the corresponding company at the same time as the coupon is provided. Here, the advertisement page may be generated as an online page of a web/app method.

The coupon operation server 200 functions to generate a coupon code that a user (consumer) can convert into a coupon according to the size of the issued amount ordered through the coupon ordering terminal 100, and to provide a coupon.

Accordingly, the coupon operation server 200 first provides a page that can convert the coupon code issued to the user into a coupon that can be actually used, and the user (consumer) connects to the coupon operation server 200 and By entering the coupon code, you receive a coupon that can be actually exchanged.

At this time, the coupon code can be largely in two forms, one is to provide an electronic code (provided online) or to connect the coupon code received here, which can be provided in a paper way, to the coupon operation server 200 to actually It is implemented so that it can be converted into a coupon.

That is, the coupon operation server 200 provides a web/app page where a user (user terminal to be described later) can access and input a coupon code, where the user enters a coupon code on the page to use it in various places (or You can choose one from the coupons of the brand). In one embodiment, when a user who received a coffee coupon enters a coupon code, coupon types of brand A, brand B, brand C, and brand D are created. An electronic coupon (ex. barcode) is provided to the user terminal 300 . In addition, as another example, the coupon may correspond to various exchangeable coupons such as a movie ticket, a gas ticket, a gift certificate, an IPTV viewing ticket, an exchange ticket, and the like.

On the other hand, the coupon operation server 200 further includes a manager terminal (210). The manager terminal 210 is a configuration responsible for the overall operation of coupons, and is used by the overall manager according to the coupon issuance according to the range ordered from the coupon ordering terminal.

It corresponds to a terminal that an administrator accesses the coupon operation server in order to perform overall coupon issuance tasks such as coupon type, amount, issuance scale, coupon design, and the like.

The user terminal 300 corresponds to a terminal carried by the user, and corresponds to a general smart device. The user terminal 100 receives the coupon code issued by the coupon operation server, connects the received coupon code to the coupon operation server 200, inputs the code, and selects a desired coupon as mentioned above will receive it.

In this case, when a desired coupon is selected, a coupon in the form of a message including a barcode is generally received, and the form of the message may be received in various ways, such as a message provided by a messenger program or a general SMS type message.

Also, for example, a user who is issued a coupon in the form of a paper can scan the QR code marked on the paper, go to the coupon exchange page, select a coupon that she wants, and receive it. This corresponds to a configuration implemented so that users can quickly navigate to the exchange page.

In addition, the user terminal 300 includes a program for managing various types of coupon types provided by the coupon operation server, which will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 to 4 below.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, in order to increase the efficiency of advertisement information provided by the coupon issuing terminal, the user terminal 300 issues a coupon through the coupon operation server and includes an advertisement information exposure function. This is to increase the advertising effect by configuring so that a primary advertisement page can be provided when a user first inputs a coupon code, but a secondary advertisement page can be provided after the user selects a desired coupon. It will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2 below.

The user terminal 400 corresponds to an operating terminal of the user using the coupon exchanged through the user terminal. This is to provide a product or service provided by a place of use after scanning the received coupon that is actually exchangeable by the user terminal.

2 is a block diagram of a method for providing advertisements in a coupon issuance system that allows a user to selectively issue a coupon according to a coupon usage place according to the present invention.

As mentioned above, in the present invention, an advertisement exposure function is added in order to improve the advertisement efficiency of the coupon issuing terminal (coupon orderer) in the process of issuing the coupon desired by the user.

In a series of processes for exchanging coupons as shown in FIG. 2, a primary connection is made to an exchange page provided by the coupon operation server to input a paper type or a received coupon code. In this case, the exchange page may be one advertisement page, and the advertisement configured therein may also correspond to the advertisement requested by the coupon issuing terminal. These advertisements are generally a method for increasing advertising efficiency on the first page, and in the present invention, after providing primary advertisement information in the coupon issuance process (coupon code input process) and completing the code input, the coupon selection screen on the next page This is output. Here, when the user terminal 300 selects (clicks) a desired coupon, the coupon is received as a message from the user terminal 300 . The message received here provides information to be referenced for coupon use, such as brand information, coupon code (ex. barcode), expiration date information, coupon number, and exchange information, in the form of a message. This corresponds to the coupon used in the actual place of use (use terminal).

Next, in the present invention, an advertisement page for providing secondary advertisement information is also automatically linked when the user receives the coupon for actual use. The advertisement page output here is the first advertisement information generated by the coupon ordering terminal, and the coupon ordering terminal 100 provides advertisement page information to be output at the same time as coupon exchange to the coupon operation server 200 through the user terminal. When the user exchanges the coupon, the effect of the advertisement can be maximized through additional advertisement output.

Therefore, the present invention has the advantage of maximizing the advertising effect by configuring the coupon issuing organization to expose the desired advertising information when the user receives the coupon together with the opportunity to provide users with a selective coupon. .
