As described above, the calculation means 32 of the POS terminal 22 sequentially calculates the price of each product or service while executing the price discount for the product or service for which the discount rate is set. Finally, the sum of the price of all goods and / or services is calculated.

FIG. 3 shows a bag ID for which a discount rate has been set, a product and / or service for which the discount rate has been set, and the discount rate, which are stored in advance in the storage means 31 of the POS terminal 22 in the store 2. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a list. For example, when a product is purchased with a bag 1 whose bag ID is any one of “AAA10001” to “AAA59999”, the product is related to the advertiser of the bag 1 and the product ID is “E7482”. "E
7484 ”and“ E7485 ”, a discount rate of 2% is applied and the product ID is“ E7
483 ", a discount rate of 3% is applied and the price is calculated. The price of the product is stored separately in the storage unit 31 together with the product information in association with the product ID.

The discount rate and the discount amount may be increased in accordance with the number of times the bag owner has purchased or enjoyed the goods or services related to the advertiser or specified by the advertiser, the total amount of the price, or the like. It may be. In such a case, the total number of such times and price is calculated for each bag at the center 3.
And / or may be managed collectively for each bag owner.

When paying for a product or service for which a discount rate or a discount amount is set, the calculating means 32 calculates points corresponding to the amount of the payment.

The calculating means 32 supplies the data of this point to the server 23 together with the bag ID read earlier. The server 23 transmits the point data and the bag ID to the server 41 of the center 3.

When the server 41 of the center 3 receives the point data and the bag ID, the server 41 searches the database 51 for the bag ID. If the bag ID is registered, it is stored in association with the bag ID. Read the accumulated point data. Then, the server 41 adds the current point to the read accumulated point, and stores the point after the addition in the database 51 as the accumulated point.

On the other hand, when the bag ID is not registered, the server 41 newly registers the bag ID in the database 51 and stores the current point as the accumulated point in the database 51 in association with the bag ID. Let it.

As described above, the server 41 of the center 3 newly stores or updates the accumulated points for the bag ID, and then stores the accumulated point data in the server 23 of the store 2.
Reply to When the server 23 of the store 2 receives the data of the accumulated points, the server 23 transfers the data to the POS terminal 22.

The printing means 33 of the POS terminal 22
The price of each product or service, the total price, the accumulated points, etc., and the bag ID are printed on the receipt. Then, the receipt is given to the consumer, that is, the owner of the bag 1 by the clerk of the store 2.

The accumulated points can be used as part or all of the price. When the accumulated points are used as part or all of the price, first, the fact is notified to the clerk of the store 2. By operating the POS terminal 22 by the clerk of the store 2, the number of points to be used or the fact that all points are used are input.

First, the POS terminal 22 transmits a request for transmitting the accumulated points together with the bag ID to the center 3 via the server 23 and the network 4. When the server 41 of the center 3 receives the transmission request of the accumulated points,
The data of the accumulated points corresponding to the bag ID transmitted together is read out from the database 51, and the data of the accumulated points is transmitted to the store 2. When the server 23 of the store 2 receives the data of the accumulated points, the POS
Transfer to terminal 22.

Thus, the calculation means 32 of the POS terminal 22
Acquires the data of the current accumulated points and determines whether or not the number of points to be used is equal to or less than the current accumulated point number. At this time, if the number of points to be used is equal to or more than the current number of accumulated points, all points are used. When the number of points to be used is smaller than the current number of accumulated points, and when all points are used, the calculating means 32 calculates the points or points to be used based on the total price or the price of a specific product and / or service. Deduct the amount corresponding to all points.

Then, the POS terminal 22 transmits the data of the points used as a result together with the bag ID to the center 3 via the server 23 and the network 4. When the server 41 of the center 3 receives the used points together with the bag ID, the server 41 searches the database 51 for the bag ID, and reads out the accumulated point data stored in association with the bag ID. Then, the server 41 subtracts the point used this time from the accumulated point, and stores the subtracted point in the database 51 as the accumulated point.

[0133] In this manner, when purchasing or enjoying a product or service related to the advertiser of the bag 1 or designated by the advertiser, the price is discounted and a part or all of the price is later paid. Points that can be used in place of the points are given to the owner of the bag 1 in accordance with the current price, and the accumulated points obtained by accumulating the points are stored in the database 51 of the center 3.

Next, the operation for registering the owner of the bag 1 in the center 3 will be described.

When the owner of the bag 1 registers himself / herself with the center 3, the user first operates the terminal device 5 to start a WWW browser program, and the URL (Uniform resource locator) of the top page of the server 41 of the center 3.
