Abstract

Provided is a mobile point saving system. The mobile point saving system includes an affiliate-side payment acquisition part, a user-side payment acquisition part, a payment content matching part, and a point saving part. The affiliate-side payment acquisition part receives affiliate payment information from an affiliate terminal and stores the affiliate payment information by each item when a payment event occurs. The user-side payment acquisition part receives user payment information from a user terminal to store the user payment information by each item. The payment content matching part matches contents of the affiliate payment information and the user payment information by each item to determine whether or not the affiliate payment information and the user payment information occur from the same payment event. The point saving part saves points in a user account corresponding to the user payment information.

Claims

1. A mobile point saving system comprising:

an affiliate-side payment acquisition part receiving affiliate payment information from an affiliate terminal and storing the affiliate payment information by each item when a payment event occurs;

a user-side payment acquisition part receiving user payment information from a user terminal to store the user payment information by each item;

a payment content matching part for matching contents of the affiliate payment information and the user payment information by each item to determine whether or not the affiliate payment information and the user payment information occur from the same payment event; and

a point saving part for saving points in a user account corresponding to the user payment information.

2. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the user payment information comprises information extracted from a text message received by the user terminal

3. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the payment content matching part determines whether or not the affiliate payment information and the user payment information occur from the same payment event by determining whether or not an item similarity of the affiliate payment information and the user payment information is equal to or greater than a reference value.

4. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the affiliate payment information comprises a card company, a payment amount, an affiliated store name, and a payment time.

5. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the user payment information comprises a card company, a payment amount, an affiliated store name, a payment time, and a user account.

6. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the user payment information is information extracted a payment confirm text that an application installed in the user terminal receives from a card company by accessing a text message.

7. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the affiliate payment information is information acquired by extracting output contents when the affiliate terminal transmits the output contents to a receipt printer.

8. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein the point saving part transmits a point saving confirmation signal to the user terminal after saving points in the user account.

9. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, further comprising a user account managing part that receives user account information from the user terminal to register the user account information.

10. The mobile point saving system of claim 1, wherein:

the affiliate-side payment acquisition part, the user-side payment acquisition part, and the payment content matching part are comprised in a matching server;

the point saving part is comprised in a saving server; and

the matching server and the saving server independently exist.

11. A mobile point saving method comprising:

receiving affiliate payment information from an affiliate terminal to store affiliate payment information by each item;

receiving user payment information from a user terminal to store user payment information by each item;

determining whether or not the affiliate payment information and the user payment information occur from the same payment event; and

saving points in a user account corresponding to the user payment information

12. The mobile point saving method of claim 11, wherein the determining of whether or not the affiliate payment information and the user payment information occur from the same payment event comprises:

matching the affiliate payment information and the user payment information by each item;

determining whether a similarity by each item is equal to or greater than a reference value; and

determining whether or not the affiliate payment information and the user payment information occur from the same payment event based on the matching by each item.

13. The mobile point saving method of claim 11, wherein the user payment information comprises information extracted from a text message received by the user terminal.

14. The mobile point saving method of claim 11, wherein the affiliate payment information comprises a card company, a payment amount, an affiliated store name, and a payment time, and the user payment information comprises a card company, a payment amount, an affiliated store name, a payment time, and a user account.

15. The mobile point saving method of claim 11, further comprising receiving user account information from the user terminal.

16. The mobile point saving method of claim 11, further comprising saving points in the user account and then transmitting a point saving confirmation signal to the user terminal.
