Description

[0001] METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ISSUING ELECTRONIC RECEIPT [0002]

The present invention relates to an electronic receipt issuance, and more particularly, to an electronic receipt issuing apparatus and method for issuing an electronic receipt according to commercial transactions.

Usually, when a transaction is made to buy or sell an item or service, the buyer receives the paper receipt from the seller, and if the customer wants to cancel the purchase later, the paper receipt should be presented to the seller again. Therefore, the buyer must keep the paper receipt until the goods or the service can be defective. In the case of the paper receipt, there is a high concern about loss, and it is inconvenient to pay special attention.

For the seller, even if the sales and commercial transaction details are digitized and stored in the database, the paper receipt must be provided to the buyer, and the cost of outputting the paper receipt is incurred, and accordingly the cost has to be reduced.

Recently, thanks to the remarkable development of information and communication technology, an electronic card capable of storing a large amount of information by incorporating an integrated circuit memory element has been put to practical use. The appearance of such an electronic card has brought about a lot of changes in commerce procedures, It also contributes to the activation of alternative electronic receipts. Such an electronic receipt is stored in a computer-readable recording medium or the like, so that unlike a paper receipt, it provides a low-loss convenience. As a representative example using such an electronic card, there is a mobile settlement service that uses a mobile terminal equipped with an electronic card for settlement. This mobile payment service uses a mobile terminal equipped with a contact or non-contact type payment system and an electronic card based on a smart card at the time of payment according to commercial transactions.

However, in reality, there are still many commercial transactions using cash or branch gift certificates or non-voluntary classical settlement methods using magnetic credit cards. In the case of commerce using these classical settlement methods, paper receipts are still issued And the like.

Therefore, there is a problem in that the cost of outputting the paper receipt is still required for the seller, and that the purchaser must take the inconvenience of storing the paper receipt.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, an electronic receipt issuing apparatus and method for issuing an electronic receipt to a non-bank settlement type commercial transaction using a cash, a branch gift certificate, a magnetic credit card or the like are provided.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and another problem to be solved can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

An apparatus for issuing an electronic receipt according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a transaction information receiver for receiving transaction information including transaction article information and settlement amount information according to payment by commercial transaction, A sales information storage unit for storing sales information including merchandise information related to the commerce, and a sales information storage unit for storing the sales information from the sales information storage unit and storing the sales information and the terminal identification information together with receipt raw data A received signal information processing section for generating the processed signal information and a received signal information transmitting section for transmitting the generated signal information to the terminal device.

Here, the receipt information processor may request the terminal device for the terminal identification information when the transaction information is received in the transaction information receiver.

Wherein the identification information receiving unit receives the receipt information from the terminal apparatus and the receipt information processing unit extracts the terminal identification information included in the receipt information received by the identification information receiving unit, And stores the received advertisement information in the sales information storage unit corresponding to the information, and compares the received advertisement information with the received advertisement information.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electronic receipt issuing method, comprising: receiving transaction information including transaction article information and payment amount information according to payment by commercial transaction; receiving terminal identification information from the terminal; Loading the sales information from a medium in which sales information including business information related to the commerce is stored; generating receipt information processing the loaded sales information into receipt raw data together with the transaction information and the terminal identification information; And transmitting the generated advertisement information to the terminal device.

Here, the method may further include requesting the terminal identification information to the terminal apparatus when the transaction information is received.

The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: receiving the advertisement information from the terminal device; extracting the terminal identification information included in the received advertisement information; Storing the received number information, and comparing the received number information with the received number information to verify whether or not the received number information matches.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, electronic receipts can be issued and circulated for commercial transactions of a non-electronic settlement system using a cash, a branch gift certificate, a magnetic credit card, or the like.

Therefore, the seller can reduce the cost of outputting the paper receipt and provide the convenience of the purchaser that the paper receipt need not be stored separately.

Furthermore, standardizing the format of electronic receipts has the effect of ensuring compatibility with electronic receipt data between distributors or between different service providers.
