Description

Participation POS System and Participation POS System

The present invention relates to a method of selling a product through a participatory POS system and a participatory POS system for selling a product. More particularly, the present invention relates to a participatory POS system that allows general users (or consumers) to participate in registering and selling a product. It relates to a method of selling goods and a participatory POS system for selling goods.

Recently, a large offline market or franchise store registers and manages goods through a Point of Sale (POS) system. Prior art POS systems and methods, as disclosed in Published Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0036681 (published: December 18, 2003), in which a manager registers information about an article in a system, and a consumer When the payment for the goods is performed through the POS terminal, the POS terminal is configured to inquire and pay the price of the goods through the identification information of the goods read through the barcode scanner. In this case, since the goods sold in the general store (ie, industrial products) are each produced with the same quality, the same kind of goods all have the same identification information. Therefore, when the internally designated administrators of the POS system register only one different type of article, one item of the same type is set to be settled at the same price. Due to the environment of such a system, the sale and sale of industrial products can be conveniently managed and settled.

However, in such a system, a large number of commodities may be traded at an incorrect price due to an administrator's mistake. In addition, in addition to industrial products, even if the same commodity, used goods and hand goods, which are inevitably priced depending on the state and the seller, are often impossible because they are cumbersome to manage and sell using a conventional POS system.

In other words, if you need to sell only one item after inputting the item information through the existing method that the internal manager must input each item information directly, the time and number of people inputting the item information compared to the profits from the sale Resource waste is inevitably large.

For example, in the case of the same industrial product, it was possible to register price information only once and sell 30,000 items by repeating the same product, but in order to sell 30,000 pieces of used goods having the same product information and price information, respectively, Each has to enter 30,000, which requires a lot of manpower and labor. In addition, the time required to follow, it takes a lot of time before the article is displayed.

In addition, the television may include an Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), an Internet Television (Internet Television), a terrestrial TV, a cable TV, a smart TV, or the like.

The server 300 is a computer that communicates with a remote terminal or another server through a network. At this time, the type of service provided by the server 300 is not particularly limited. However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the server 300 performs the service member registration and management of the user, and stores and manages the information of the goods to be entrusted for sale, performs the payment when selling the goods, and entrusted the goods It performs a general function that setstles the amount paid to users and store managers who sell goods. At this time, the server 300 may communicate with the financial institution server 400 at the time of payment of goods, and may perform the payment through the financial institution server 400.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. Referring to FIG. 2, the server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a database 310, a subscription processing unit 320, a product registration unit 330, a product and store matching unit 340, and an identification information generation unit ( 350, a payment processor 360, a settlement processor 370, a base processor 380, and a recovery processor 390. The subscription processing unit to the collection processing unit 320 to 390 may be linked to the database 310 to perform their function. For reference, the object mentioned in the embodiment of the present invention may be a product of a type such as a mobile phone or an intangible product such as a cleaning service.

The database 310 includes a member DB 311, a product DB 312, a store DB 313, a sales DB, and a settlement DB 315.

The member DB 311 stores member information of a member subscribed to a service provided by the server 300 (that is, a participatory POS service). For example, the member information may include the member's financial account information, contact information (for example, mobile communication identification number, e-mail, and other communication service account information), a user ID registered in the service provided by the server 300, It may include at least one of a password and an address, but is not limited to the example described above.

The article DB 312 stores the sales information and the article specific information on the article to be entrusted to the sales member. For example, the sale information may include at least one of a name of an item to be sold by the user, a comment on the item, a sale price of the item, a sale contract period of the item, a current sale status of the item, and image information of the item. It includes one, but is not limited to the example described above. In addition, the comment on the article may include at least one of the place of purchase, the initial purchase price, whether or not wholesale is available in the B2B (B2B) and the URL address indicating the usage of the article. In addition, the current sale status of the article indicates whether the article has been sold, displayed, donated or retrieved. In addition, the sale information includes a registration fee to be paid to the store when the user consigns the sale to the offline store. The registration fee is a payment amount to be paid at the time of entrusting the goods to the offline store, and is a fee calculated in consideration of the minimum cost for displaying and managing the goods at the offline store. The registration fee may be determined by the fare policy for the size or category of the goods determined by the head office or the merchant. The article unique information is a unique number assigned to each article in a unique pattern. The goods unique information is information for identifying sales information. When the goods unique information of the goods sold in the offline store is notified, the server may proceed with the sale process of goods according to the goods unique information.

The store DB 313 includes store specific information about an offline store (that is, a service affiliated store) registered to support a service provided by the server 300. For example, the information may include information about a name, an address, a contact information, and the like for the offline store. The user may designate at least one service affiliate to sell for one item, and the relationship between the product and the service affiliate may be stored in the store DB 313.

The payment DB 314 stores information on the payment contents when a certain consumer pays by looking at a consignment item displayed in an offline store. For example, the payment DB 314 may store the payment amount, payment time, payment method, payment subject, payment store, etc., but is not limited to the above-described example.

The settlement DB 315 calculates and stores the subject and settlement amount to settle the settlement amount. The subject to be settled may be the user who entrusted the goods and the offline store manager who performed the payment by displaying the goods. At this time, the user who entrusted the goods is deposited the amount excluding the sales commission from the payment amount, the sales commission is deposited to the store manager. The sales fee is distinguished from the registration fee. Unlike the registration fee, the sales fee is a fee that is incurred only when the sale is successful. Such sales fees may be adjusted through various policies such as excellent sales merchant benefits, affiliate benefits, employee benefits, and events for a particular member (eg, VIP member) or a specific affiliate. This benefit may be specified so that a particular period of time is specified and only made within that period. The settlement DB 315 stores financial account information and settlement time of users and store managers. The settlement period may be specified to be periodic or aperiodic.

Meanwhile, the information stored for each DB described above may be stored in different DBs. For example, the information stored in the payment DB may be stored in the goods DB.

The subscription processor 320 processes service subscriptions of users who are not registered in the service provided by the server 300. When the unregistered users access the server 300, the subscription processor 320 requests input of member information. When the member information is input, it is determined that the registration is completed, the subscription processing unit 320 generates a member account and gives account identification information to the corresponding user. On the other hand, the subscription processing unit 320 allows the registered user to access the server 300, by authenticating the member information when accessing the server 300. For example, the subscription processor 320 may perform authentication by receiving and confirming a user ID and a password. If the user is authenticated, the user can use the service through the existing account identification information.

The goods registration unit 330 gives goods unique information to goods to be entrusted to the user, and registers the goods unique information and sales information in the goods DB 312. To the subscriber who is allowed to access the service, the goods registration unit 330 may request input of information about goods to be entrusted for sale, and provide the user terminal 100 with an interface corresponding thereto. When the user inputs the sales information of the item through the user terminal 100, the goods register unit 330 gives the goods unique information for the corresponding goods, and stores them for the account of the user in association with the sales information.

The goods and store matching unit 340 receives the store specific information about the offline store where the user will sell the goods, and stores and stores the store specific information and the product unique information.

Specifically, when a user visits an offline store and wants to search for an item registered by the server 300 through the terminal 200 of the store, the user inputs member information to search for the item. On the other hand, the user's registered article may be inquired by the store manager on behalf of the administrator. The article and store matching unit 340 may verify whether the input member information is registered member information and, when authentication is completed, search for a registered article related to the member. Subsequently, the item and store matching unit 340 may provide a list of registered items to the terminal 200 of the store, and preferably, may provide only a list of items for which the user does not designate a store to be entrusted for sale.

Subsequently, when the user selects through the terminal 200 a store to be consigned for goods in the list, store-specific information of the selected store is received from the terminal 200 of the store. In general, a user may select a store visited as a store to be consigned, but may select another store. The article and store matching unit 340 matches the product specific information and the store specific information with respect to all the items in the list and stores them in a database. On the other hand, since the store-specific information is not matched by the member, but matched by the item, the user can entrust the goods to the desired place among the various merchants.

On the other hand, as a further embodiment, when the user visits the offline store to recognize the goods to be consigned to the terminal 200 of the store, the terminal 200 of the store automatically stores the product specific information and store specific information server 300 ), And in this case, the product and store matching unit 340 may automatically match the received product specific information and the store specific information. In this case, the user may simply designate a store for selling the goods by a simple operation of recognizing the goods on the store terminal 200. In addition, as another additional embodiment, when a user inputs information about an item to be entrusted with a sale, the user may designate even an offline store where the item is to be sold. In this case, the unique product information may be given and the unique store information may be given at the same time, and the assigned unique product information and the unique store information may be matched with each other and stored. Alternatively, the user may match the sold store with the item when the entrusted item is sold, without a separate matching when the user entrusts the item.

The identification information generation unit 350 generates identification information associated with the goods-specific information and / or shop-specific information in order to give unique information for identifying the goods determined by the sales consignment store. The identification information may be generated to represent the product specific information, or may be configured to display a pattern independent of the product unique information and the store specific information. The identification information is transmitted to the store terminal 200 and may be included (or attached) on the surface of the product to be produced (or output) and commissioned for sale by the store manager 200 by the store manager. For example, the identification information may be any medium that can store and read unique identification information such as a one-dimensional barcode and a two-dimensional barcode (for example, a QR code). Alternatively, the identification information may be configured in the form of an RF tag.

On the other hand, since the existing identification information uses a unique number already specified in each product by international standards such as EAN and ISBN, the same unique number is assigned to the same kind of product. However, the identification information according to an embodiment of the present invention may be set to have different unique number patterns for each object. In this case, the information on each object is not confused, and when the plurality of objects are calculated at the same time, there is no fear that the identification information will be confused, so that the summation processing is possible. For example, in a food affiliate store, a menu may be processed, and a retail store 200 may request to add other distribution items at the same time. The identification of the unique number pattern may be achieved by using a bar code of another standard or by using a predetermined rule for a character string at a specific position even when using the same bar code. For example, food menus and general distribution products can be distinguished from M and P by the start character of the bar code, and for the same food menu, a string of numbers after M may be combined with a date and serial number so as not to overlap each other. As such, when the unique number pattern is set differently for each object, a plurality of objects can be processed at once on one screen, thereby making the work quick and easy.

If there is a consumer's intention to purchase the displayed goods, the payment processing unit 360 checks the sales state and performs payment for the goods. Specifically, first, the terminal 200 of the store reads identification information (or product specific information) with respect to the goods to be purchased by the consumer and transmits them to the server 300. Subsequently, the payment processing unit 360 may grasp the product specific information and the store specific information through the identification information. Alternatively, when the store terminal 200 is configured to recognize the goods and transmit the product specific information and the store specific information together with the payment request, the payment processing unit 360 does not use the identification information and the store specific information when the payment request is received. You can also grasp unique information.

The payment processing unit 360 may check whether the product is requested to be sold from the correct store through store specific information, and may check whether the product is available for sale through the product unique information. If the sales state of the goods displayed through the product specific information is 'saleable', and the goods displayed through the store, the payment processing unit 360 performs a payment and sends a sale completion message to the store terminal 200 and sells the product. Update the status. At this time, the payment processing unit 360 grasps the price of the article in the article DB 312, and performs the payment through the financial institution server 400 at the price. At this time, the store terminal 200 may perform a payment process such as requesting a payment and outputting a payment result. However, the payment process may be performed by a separate card terminal provided in the store. On the other hand, if the sale status is 'not available for sale' (for example, if the goods have already been sold, donated or collected or if the goods are not the goods of the store), the payment processing unit 360 may The purchase failure message is transmitted to the terminal 200. As described above, the payment processing unit 360 performs a procedure of checking the sales state of the goods and the mapping state of the goods and the store in order to prevent fraudulent sales or crosstalk before performing the payment.

The settlement processing unit 370 pays a settlement amount corresponding to the sale of goods to the user and the store manager. The settlement amount provided to the user is the amount of sales fee that is limited from the settlement amount of the product. The settlement amount provided to the store manager is a sales commission. The settlement processing unit 370 may deposit the settlement amount corresponding to the date determined by the financial account information of each of the user and the store manager through the financial institution server 400. In addition, the settlement processing unit 370 may collectively settle the settlement amount corresponding to the entire product sold for one user and the sales fee corresponding to the entire sold product for one store at a time. Alternatively, the settlement processing unit 370 may pay the settlement amount to the store and the user in real time immediately after the settlement.

The donation processing unit 380 may process the goods according to a user's input or a store manager's request or input when the goods are not sold or collected even after the consignment period has passed after the goods registration or the goods entrustment. When the user transmits a donation intention through the server 300, the store manager may receive a donation intention through the store terminal 200 and donate the corresponding object. Alternatively, the store manager transmits an inquiry request through the terminal 200 whether the store manager will make a donation to the user for the expired goods, and if the user sends a response to accept the inquiry request, the goods may be processed. It may be. However, if the user does not respond to the inquiry request within a certain period of time, it is regarded as an acceptance response, and the store manager may donate the item without waiting for the user's reply. The store manager may input the donation processing facts to the store terminal 200 after the donation processing of the corresponding item, or input the donation processing facts to the store terminal 200 and transmit the same to the user, and then process the donation. In this case, the donation processing unit 380 may change the sale state of the article to the donation processing state and transmit a donation processing completion signal to the store terminal 200 and / or the user terminal 100. On the other hand, when the donation process is requested, when the article is inquired that the sale is completed or collected or before the expiration of the consignment period, an error signal is transmitted, and information about the state of the article is not changed. Whether the consignment period has elapsed may be determined by reading identification information, and may be determined by a user accessing the server 300 and directly searching his or her registered article information, and the store manager registers the user with the administrator's authority. You can also query the product information. In addition, by extracting the identification information of a large number of things at once and to the server 300, it is also possible to perform a donation process for a large number of things at once. In addition, even after the consignment period has elapsed, the store manager may process the donation without being approved by the user.

The collection processing unit 390 performs a collection process when the user wants to collect the goods entrusted to the store. In this case, the user may request and recover at least one of the collection items displayed at the store at least once. The process of changing or processing the state of the collected object is the same as the process described in the base processing unit 380. On the other hand, if the user visits the store and collects the goods, the third party may collect the goods. To compensate for this, when the identification information is read, the member information may be queried to perform the identity verification process. have.

In addition, if the sale status of the item is changed (ie, the completion of sales, donation or collection processing, etc.) or the sale amount is paid to the user through the payment processing unit or the collection processing unit 360 to 390, such a matter is alerted to the user. May be provided. Alarms can be provided in a variety of ways, including SMS, MMS, email, and messages from messenger applications.

Hereinafter, a method of selling goods through a participatory POS system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

The user performs a service access request through the terminal 100 (S101). The terminal 100 has been described as a user terminal 100, but may also be a terminal 200 of a store, or may be a terminal disposed at a main store of offline stores. At this time, the user inputs the member information according to the interface provided by the server 300. As described above, the member information may be a user ID or a password.

In the case of the registered member, the server 300 performs member authentication, but if it is an unregistered member, generates a new member account (S102). The server 300 grants account identification information to the authenticated or created member account, so that the service can be continuously used with the assigned account identification information.

Subsequently, the server 300 provides a page for inputting sales information of the article to the user terminal 100 (S103), and thus the user inputs sales information of the article (S104). As described above, the sale information of the article may include a sale price, a name of the article, a comment on the article status, and the like.

According to the sales information of the input article, the article specific information is generated and given for the article (S105). The article specific information is given in a unique pattern for each article.

After completing the registration of the item, the user may visit the offline store in order to sell the registered item (S106).

The user inputs the member information into the terminal 200 of the store in order to retrieve the item registered by the server 300 in the store (S107). Alternatively, the store manager may access the server with the administrator's authority and inquire the user's member information.

Subsequently, the server 300 authenticates the member information and, when authenticated as a member registered in the server 300, searches for an item corresponding to the member information (S108). The server 300 transmits the searched item list to the terminal 200 of the store (S109). In this case, the searched item list may be a list of items for which the user does not designate a store to be entrusted with the sale. Items that have been designated to be entrusted for sale are already on display at the store, so they do not have to be listed. However, as described above, the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to this case only, and a list of all items registered by the user may be provided.

The user selects a store for consigning a sale of the goods shown in the list through the terminal 200 of the store (S110). The terminal 200 of the store may provide a list of offline stores subscribed to the service provided by the server 300, and the user may select at least one of the lists. Alternatively, since a user generally intends to consign a sale through a store visited by the user, only a store visited by the user may be displayed as a list. Alternatively, the store visited by the user may be automatically selected with or without being displayed in the list. In addition, when the user recognizes the item in the terminal 200 of the store, the store that recognizes the item may be automatically selected to be a sale store of the recognized item. In this case, a procedure of displaying and selecting a list There is no need to recognize the goods in the store terminal 200 and at the same time can be carried out through the process that the product specific information and store specific information is transmitted to the server.

When a store to be entrusted with the sale of the goods is selected, the terminal 200 transmits store specific information of the selected store to the server 300 (S111).

The server 300 matches and stores the received store specific information and the product unique information (S112).

The server 300 generates identification information about the object and transmits it to the terminal 200 (S113). In this case, the identification information is information related to the store specific information and the product specific information. When a purchase request is generated for the corresponding product later, the identification information is information for identifying the store specific information and the product unique information of the requested item. The identification information may be set such that a unique number pattern is different for each object, such as a bar code, and may have a specific pattern to allow the sum of a plurality of objects as described above.

Subsequently, the store manager produces identification information (or product specific information) through the store terminal 200, and displays the same by including it in the article (S114). For example, when the identification information is in the form of a barcode, the barcode may be output through the store terminal 200 and attached to an object for display. When the identification information is an RF tag, the store terminal 200 or other terminal may be displayed. It can also be manufactured and displayed in an object. In addition, the store manager may collect a registration fee for the display and management of goods from the user at the same time as the exhibition. However, this is only an example, and registration fees may be collected from the user after the goods are sold or at any time.

If there is a consumer who reveals a willingness to purchase goods on display among the customers who enter and exit the store (S115), the store manager may identify identification information (or product specific information) of the corresponding item through the server terminal 200. To transmit (S116). For example, the barcode information may be extracted through a barcode reader and transmitted to the server 300.

The server 300 retrieves the corresponding product specific information and the store specific information from the database 310 through the identification information (S117). On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention also includes a case where the server 300 receives the product-specific information and the store-specific information directly from the store terminal 200 without using the identification information and grasps it. The server 300 may determine whether the item requested to be purchased is requested from an appropriate store through store specific information.

In addition, the server 300 retrieves the sale information of the item through the product specific information, and determines whether the corresponding product is currently available for sale (S118).

If the article is in the unsold state (for example, if the article is sold or donated or collected), the server 300 transmits a purchase failure message to the terminal 200 of the store (S119).

On the other hand, when the product is in the sellable state, the server 300 communicates with the financial institution server 400 to perform a payment through the payment terminal of the store (S120), and transmits a purchase success message to the terminal 200 of the store. (S121). When the terminal 200 of the store receives the purchase success message, the terminal 200 of the store may generate and output a receipt history, thereby allowing the consumer to acquire the product.

Through the above-described process, the user can sell the product according to the system of one embodiment of the present invention. The settlement process between the user and the store manager for the sold item is as described below.

The settlement processor 370 of the server 300 may perform settlement processing periodically or aperiodically. When the settlement process is performed aperiodically, the settlement may be made to the user and the store manager whenever the consumer purchases the product. When the settlement process is periodically performed, the settlement process may proceed every specific date, and the settlement process will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4.

The settlement processing unit 370 of the server 300 inquires the list of goods sold within a specific period from the settlement date from the database 310 (that is, the payment DB 314) (S201).

The settlement processing unit 370 searches for information on the member and the store related to the inquired item from the database 310 (S202). For example, when an item sold in store B is inquired with specific pants, the financial account information of the user A who consigned the sale of the pants and the financial account information of the store B that sold the pants may be searched.

Subsequently, the settlement processing unit 370 calculates the amount of money to be deposited for each member and store (S203). For example, the fee policy assumes that the sales commission is 25% of the sales and that the merchant commission is 60% of the sales commission. In this case, when an item of 10,000 won is sold, the settlement processing unit 370 calculates the remaining 7,500 won as the user's settlement amount by subtracting 2,500 won, which is 25% of the item price, as a sales fee. Then, the settlement processing unit 370 may determine a fee (60%) of 1,500 won as the settlement amount of the merchant among 2,500 won, and the remaining (40%) of 1,000 as the settlement of the head office.

The settlement processing unit 370 executes an account transfer through the financial institution server 400 with respect to the calculated amount (S204). In this case, the settlement processing unit 370 may calculate the settlement amount for all the products sold by one member and all the products sold by one store, and execute mass account transfer at once.

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, if the goods are not sold after the goods are consigned to a store, it may be difficult for the store manager to keep displaying or storing the goods. Also, even after entrusting an item, the user may change his mind and may want to collect the item. In order to compensate for this, an embodiment of the present invention includes a collection and donation step of an article.

Referring to FIG. 5, the server 300 receives a request for collection or donation of goods from a store manager or a user (S301). The request for collecting or donating the goods may be any time after the goods are entrusted to the store, or after the consignment sale contract period.

The terminal 200 of the store extracts the identification information (or product specific information) of the corresponding object and transmits it to the server 300, and the server 300 receives the identification information (S302).

The server 300 changes the sales state of the object stored in the database 310 to the collection or donation state (S303).

After the change is completed, the server 300 transmits a state change message to the terminal 200 of the store (S304). For example, when the state of the article is changed to the donation state, the donation state change message is transmitted to the terminal 200, and when the state is changed to the recovery state, the recovery state change message is transmitted. However, when the state of the goods is sold or in the other unsold state, an error message is transmitted to the terminal 200.

Alternatively, the donation or collection process may be performed by a store manager's donation or collection request without depending on the user's donation or collection request. Since the expired items shorten the display space of the store and the user may leave the product unnecessarily for the collection of unsold items, the store manager may store the server 300 for the expired items. You can send a donation or recovery request. In this case, the store manager may make a donation request after obtaining the user's approval, but if the user does not approve within a predetermined period of time, the store manager may regard the donation and may make a donation request without the user's reply. In addition, even after the consignment period has elapsed, the store manager may process the donation without being approved by the user.

On the other hand, one embodiment of the present invention has a limit that can be sold only in one store by selecting only one store to be entrusted with the sale. In order to overcome this, a further embodiment of the present invention allows the sale of goods in other merchants that do not entrust the sale of goods. According to a further embodiment, the sales consignment store designated by the user displays and sells the actual goods, and the other affiliated stores store the information of the goods uploaded to the server 300 by the terminal (or the user terminal) of each merchant. Make it available to consumers. For example, the merchant's terminal (or user terminal) (eg, tablet PC, laptop, desktop, etc.) communicates with the server 300 to provide information (eg, a picture of the object) placed in the remaining merchants. , The name of the item, a comment on the item, the price, etc.). Accordingly, the consumer who visited the affiliated store may reveal the intention to purchase the desired item by looking at the item displayed on the terminal. In this case, the purchase progress method, when identification information (or product specific information) is included in the product information and displayed together on the display terminal, the identification information (or product specific information) displayed on the display terminal can be extracted and proceed with payment. have. Alternatively, the POS terminal of the affiliated store may request and receive identification information through a server, thereby extracting identification information and proceeding with payment. The consumer will then be able to receive the goods by means of courier or in person. In addition, according to the payment, the sale state of the article may be changed to the sale completion state, and the sale completion state may be reported to the user through various communication means (for example, text and e-mail).

On the other hand, according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the user has to visit and entrust the store, when the store is far from the user's place of residence there is a limit that the user is not easy to access. In order to improve this, another further embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the user does not visit the store directly, but displays the goods in the store remotely by means of courier or the like. For example, when a user registers information about an item in a server, an interface for allowing a user to select 'direct visit consignment' or 'consignment through delivery' may be provided to the user's terminal. If the user selects 'consignment through delivery' and saves the goods information, the user visits the courier or the post office to deliver the goods directly, or the user's residence information is automatically sent to the courier server so that the courier can The goods delivery can be made in a manner that replaces the goods delivery. In this case, the store manager who receives the goods may transmit a receipt confirmation message of the goods to the server 300, and the server 300 may deliver an acknowledgment message to the user's account. The acknowledgment message may include a display state picture of the object taken by the store manager and a comment about the object. In addition, the receipt confirmation message includes the store specific information of the store where the goods were received, or so that the server 300 can identify and match the store specific information and the product unique information previously stored in the server 300 through the receipt confirmation message. Can be configured.

The method according to the embodiments described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5 and other descriptions may also be implemented in the form of a recording medium containing instructions executable by a computer, such as a program module executed by the computer. Computer readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. In addition, computer readable media may include both computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Communication media typically includes computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave, or other transmission mechanism, and includes any information delivery media.

The foregoing description of the present invention is intended for illustration, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be easily modified in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. will be. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. For example, each component described as a single type may be implemented in a distributed manner, and similarly, components described as distributed may be implemented in a combined form.

The scope of the present invention is shown by the following claims rather than the above description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention. do.

In one embodiment of the present invention by allowing the user as well as the internal staff to register the product information directly to the POS system, it is possible to reduce the inventory burden of the ordering or operator caused by the existing POS system, thereby, Industrial applications exist for enabling businesses to sell products such as used or handcrafted goods that were difficult to sell at a POS system. In addition, in the case of industrial products or new products produced by a subject such as a company that manufactures only a small quantity of goods, a company that wants to sell and test a prototype before mass production, and an individual inventor who invented the idea product, Industrial applicability exists in that one embodiment may provide a more suitable sales and management environment than existing POS systems.
