The method of providing the one-barcode service includes executing, by a terminal, a one-barcode service application and querying a service providing server for one-barcode issue information, receiving, by the terminal, one-barcode issue information including one or more of pieces of pre-issued card information corresponding to one-barcode identification information from the service providing server, and performing, by the terminal, a registration of alliance company information capable of being registered corresponding to the card information included in the one-barcode issue information by being in connection with the service providing server.

Claims

1. A method of providing a one-barcode service, the method comprising:

receiving, with a service providing server, a one-barcode identification information request from a card company server in response to a request by a terminal, wherein the terminal is configured to request card information including terminal identification information to the card company server;

determining, with the service providing server, whether one-barcode identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information is stored in the service providing server;

if it is determined that one-barcode identification information is stored in the service providing server, transmitting, with the service providing server, the stored one-barcode identification information to the card company server such that the card company server issues card information corresponding to the stored one-barcode identification information;

if it is determined that one-barcode identification information is not stored, generating, with the service providing server, generated one-barcode identification information corresponding to the terminal identification information;

transmitting, with the service providing server, the generated one-barcode identification information to the card company server such that the card company server issues card information corresponding to the generated one-barcode identification information;

storing, with the service providing server, the card information and the generated one-barcode identification information;

generating, with the terminal, a virtual card based on stored card information that corresponds to either the stored one-barcode identification information or the generated one-barcode identification information; and

transmitting, with the terminal, a request for generating a one-barcode to the service providing server when the terminal selects the virtual card.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises:

receiving, with the service providing server, a query regarding one-barcode issue information from the terminal;

determining, with the service providing server, whether one-barcode identification information is stored in the service providing server;

if it is determined that one-barcode identification information is stored, transmitting, with the service providing server, the one-barcode issue information including the card information to the terminal; and

registering, with the service providing server, information regarding a merchant service provider upon a terminal request, wherein the merchant service provider is configured to provide service to a user having the card information.
