Control device and method for adding points to point accounts by point management system

Abstract

The invention provides a control method for adding points to point accounts by a point management system. The method comprises the following steps of: (a) judging whether the points in point accounts are lower than a first threshold value or not; (b) adding a first point to the point accounts of which the point quantities are lower than the first threshold; and (c) deducting an amount corresponding to the first point from payment accounts corresponding to the point accounts. The invention also provides a corresponding control device. In the invention, the points are added to the point accounts through judging whether the point quantities in the point accounts are lower than the first threshold value or not, so that the points can be added to the point accounts when the quantities of the points in the point accounts are too small so as to achieve the purpose of automatically controlling the point quantities in the point accounts to be in a reasonable range. The invention is particularly suitable for managing points in service industries of markets, catering, hotels, and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a business management system, especially a point management system, and in particular, to a control method and a corresponding control device for adding points to a point account in the point management system.

Then, in the prior art, no matter which method of adding points to the account, it requires consumers to manually complete the recharge of points. For example, if purchasing points through the balance of mobile phone calls, the consumer must Operate the mobile phone; for another example, if paying the amount corresponding to the added points through online banking, the consumer must operate the online banking; for another example, if recharging to the management terminal of the points account, the consumer must reach the points On-site account management

[0004] Therefore, the method of manually completing the recharge action of points causes a lot of inconvenience to merchants and consumers. On the one hand, if consumers add more points to the account in advance, the funds corresponding to the points in the account will be idle; On the one hand, if consumers add appropriate points to the account in order to avoid funds being idle, the number of times consumers manually add points to the account will inevitably increase
