[1. Example of payment processing indicated by generation device]
An example of settlement processing executed by the generation device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of payment processing executed by the generation device 100 according to the embodiment. The generation device 100, as a predetermined payment method, reads information displayed on the terminal device used by the user and linked to the user by the store terminal used by the store where the user makes the payment. or the user terminal used by the user executes the payment method by reading the information associated with the store where the user makes the payment.

Note that the settlement means here means electronic settlement or the like. For example, electronic payment is a payment method that uses electronic means such as sending and receiving data that has value corresponding to cash instead of cash such as coins and banknotes for the payment of fees and charges for goods or services. be.

For example, electronic payment includes payment by barcode, payment by two-dimensional code, payment by QR code (Quick Response Code) (registered trademark), payment by electronic money, card payment by credit card, and the like. In the following, an example will be given of settlement using a predetermined code including settlement using a bar code, settlement using a two-dimensional code, and settlement using a QR code (registered trademark). A predetermined code presented by a store may be referred to as a store code, and a predetermined code presented by a user may be referred to as a user code.

Note that hereinafter, the user terminal UT1 used by the user U1 and the user terminal UT2 used by the user U2 may be collectively referred to as the user terminal UT when not particularly distinguished. Moreover, when the user U1 and the user U1 are not particularly distinguished, they may be collectively referred to as the user U.

An example of payment processing by the generation device 100 will be described below along the flow with reference to FIG. 1 . It is assumed that the user terminal UT is preinstalled with payment application A, which is an application having a function of reading a two-dimensional code and is related to electronic payment.

First, using steps S1 to S5, an example in which the user terminal UT reads the shop code of a shop that allows electronic payment by the payment application A will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 reads the store code (step S1).

In addition, a store here is a store which provides goods and services. For example, a store is an actual store that sells products, a store located in a complex facility such as a mall, or the like. Further, for example, the service referred to here is a service or the like used by a user through an actual store.

For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 uses the payment application A to read the store code SC, which is a two-dimensional code located at a predetermined location inside the store. At this time, the user terminal UT1 uses the built-in camera via the payment application A to read the shop code SC.

It should be noted that the predetermined location of the store referred to here may be any location within the store. For example, the predetermined place of the store is the place where the payment is made. Also, the store code SC is displayed, for example, on a paper medium such as a poster placed at a predetermined location. Also, the store code SC is displayed, for example, on a display such as a tablet installed at a predetermined location.

Subsequently, the user terminal UT1 receives the payment amount entered by the user U1 (step S2). For example, an example in which the user U1 pays the bill after eating at an Italian restaurant will be described. In this case, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 accepts the payment amount "15000 yen" entered by the user U1 in the predetermined frame for entering the amount displayed by the payment application A. .

Then, user U1 and salesclerk ST confirm the settlement amount (step S3). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user U1 presents the payment amount "15,000 yen" displayed by the user terminal UT1 to the store clerk ST to confirm the payment amount.

Subsequently, the user terminal UT1 transmits information about the store code and the settlement amount to the generation device 100 (step S4). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT1 transmits to the generating device 100 information about the shop code SC and the settlement amount "15000 yen".

Then, the generating device 100 executes payment processing for providing the amount indicated by the payment amount from the user using the user terminal UT to the store associated with the store code (step S5). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generation device 100 executes payment processing for providing a payment amount of "15000 yen" to an Italian restaurant associated with the store code SC.

Next, an example in which the store terminal ST reads the user code presented by the user using steps S6 to S11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the generation device 100 receives an acquisition request for information on a user code from a user terminal UT2. (Step S6). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generation device 100 uses the payment application A to receive a request to acquire information on the user code UC from the user terminal UT2.

Subsequently, the generation device 100 provides information about the user code to the user terminal UT2 (step S7). Then, the user terminal UT2 displays the user code (step S8). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the user terminal UT2 displays the user code UC via the payment application A to the store clerk SU.

Subsequently, the store terminal ST reads the user code displayed by the user terminal UT2 (step S9). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the store terminal ST uses a built-in camera to read the user code UC displayed by the user terminal UT2. Then, the store terminal ST transmits information about the user code and the settlement amount to the generating device 100 (step S10).

For example, an example will be described in which the user U2 pays the bill after eating at a Chinese restaurant. In this case, in the example of FIG. 1, the store terminal ST transmits information about the user code UC and the payment amount of "20000 yen" to the generating device 100. FIG.

Subsequently, the generation device 100 executes payment processing for providing the shop with the amount indicated by the payment amount from the user associated with the user code (step S11). For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generation device 100 executes payment processing for providing a payment amount of "20000 yen" to a Chinese restaurant from the user terminal UT2 associated with the user code UC.

[2. Example of generation processing indicated by generation device]
Next, an example of generation processing executed by the generation device 100 according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of generation processing executed by the generation device 100 according to the embodiment. Specifically, the generation device 100 uses the history of payments made by a plurality of users by a predetermined payment method at a designated store, which is a store that satisfies designated conditions, to make payments for each user at the designated store. Generate ranking information that indicates the ranking for

An example of generation processing by the generation device 100 will be described below along the flow with reference to FIG. 2 .

First, as shown in FIG. 2, the generation device 100 acquires payment information from the user terminal UT and the shop terminal ST (step S21). For example, step S21 is a process corresponding to steps S4 and S10 as shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the generating device 100 makes a payment according to the payment information (step S22). For example, step S22 is a process corresponding to steps S5 and S11 as shown in FIG.

Then, the generation device 100 receives the designation condition regarding the user or the store from the designator terminal 10 (step S23). The specified condition here may be any information as long as it is specified by the specified person. For example, specified area, specified store type, specified user age and attribute information, which is information relating to attributes such as gender.

Further, for example, the specified condition is information about the user's interests and hobbies, behavior information of the user on the network, or the like. Note that the action information on the network referred to here is, for example, the purchase history of products in Internet shopping, electronic shopping malls, auction services, and flea market services. Also, for example, the action information on the network is information related to various histories such as the usage history of services provided on the network and the viewing history of contents. Also, the designated person here may be any person, for example, a user, a store clerk, or the like.

For example, the generation device 100 may accept, from the designator terminal 10, designation such as the region being Roppongi, the store type being an Italian restaurant, and the user being in their thirties as the designation conditions. A designation may be received from the designator terminal 10 that content related to Italian restaurants has been viewed a predetermined number of times or more. In addition, the generation device 100 may receive designation conditions of arbitrary contents other than these.

Subsequently, the generating device 100 identifies payment histories that satisfy the specified condition (step S24). Specifically, the generating device 100 acquires a history of payments made by a plurality of users using a predetermined payment method at a designated store, which is a store that satisfies designated conditions. Then, the generation device 100 identifies payment histories that satisfy the specified condition.

For example, the generating device 100 acquires a payment history at a specified store located in an area specified as a specified condition. In another example, the generating device 100 acquires a payment history at a specified store, which is a store of a type specified as a specified condition. Then, the generation device 100 identifies payment histories that satisfy the specified condition.

For example, an example will be described in which the designated condition designated by the designated person is that the region is Roppongi, the store type is an Italian restaurant, and the user is in his thirties. In this case, the generating device 100 identifies, among the user's payment histories, a payment history containing information indicating that the region is Roppongi, the store type is an Italian restaurant, and the user is in his 30s.

For example, a specification condition specified by a specification person will be described using an example in which the number of times content related to an Italian restaurant has been viewed is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times. In this case, the generation device 100 identifies a user who has viewed content related to an Italian restaurant a predetermined number of times or more among the users, and identifies the payment history of the user as a payment history that satisfies the specified condition. do.

Then, the generating device 100 uses the specified payment history to generate ranking information indicating the ranking of payments made by users who satisfy the specified conditions at stores that meet the specified conditions (step S25). In other words, the generation device 100 generates ranking information indicating the ranking of each user's payment at the designated store. More specifically, the generation device 100 generates ranking information indicating the ranking of the total amount of payments made by the user using a predetermined payment method at the designated store. As a result, the generation device 100 can visualize the excitement of payment by a predetermined payment method.

The generation device 100 may also generate ranking information indicating the ranking of the number of payments made by the user using a predetermined payment method at the designated store. You may generate the ranking information which shows the ranking regarding the frequency of. The generation device 100 may also generate ranking information indicating the ranking regarding the frequency of payments within a designated period.

For example, in the example of FIG. 1, the generating device 100 determines that the first place is user #3 who paid the settlement amount of "225,000 yen", and the second place is, based on the payment history of each user at an Italian restaurant. Ranking information is generated such that the user #1 who paid the payment amount of "210,000 yen" and the third place is the user #4 who paid the payment amount of "190,000 yen".

In addition, based on the payment history of each user in the Italian restaurant, the generating device 100 determines that the first place is user #2 who has made a payment for the number of times "50 times", and the second place is user #2 who has made a payment for the number of times "40 times". Ranking information is generated such that the third place is user #3 who has paid the number of times "30 times".

Further, for example, the generation device 100 ranks user #4, who has made payments “20 times”, as ranking information regarding the frequency of payments made by users within “four months,” and ranks second. is the user #1 who has paid the number of times "15 times", and the third place is the user #3 who has paid the number of times "10 times". Note that the number of payments or the frequency of payments described in the above example may be the number of times or frequency accumulated within a predetermined period.

Also, the embodiments are not limited to the above examples. For example, the generation device 100 may generate ranking information of shops. For example, the generating device 100 may generate the ranking information of stores based on the total amount of payment made by the user using the payment application A, the number of payments, or the frequency of payments.

Subsequently, the generation device 100 provides the ranking information to the designator terminal 10 (step S26). That is, specifically, the generation device 100 provides the generated ranking information to the designation source of the designation condition. As a result, the generation device 100 can make the user feel that he or she wants to be ranked higher. Therefore, the generating device 100 can encourage users to use barcode payment.
