50 percent point

Abstract

To further promote distribution by popularizing prize points for which users do not bear settlement liability.SOLUTION: In Sendai, the home city of the Rakuten Eagles, "homerun coupon tickets" (Class 35 Registration No.6776640) of the Rakuten Eagles are issued. For homeruns whose occurrence is unpredictable, coupon tickets displaying a previously forecasted applicable inning and the number of the inning are sold at a price equivalent to a lottery ticket. Prize points are returned to winners, and an aspect of a sports promotion bond is exhibited by providing prize money to the homerun hitter, etc., using the surplus.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] If the unit price of points added to the unit price is reduced from 1 yen to 50 sen, the unit price will be maintained at the sum of the change and the discount amount. If you want to increase the amount of change that can be used however you like, you can decrease the discount amount, and vice versa. In a payment method that allows users to freely choose the unit price of points, the success or failure of this project depends on a system that can calculate the tens of thousands of combinations of change and product prices from a fixed settlement amount and instantly identify the unit price of points used by each user. [Background technology]

[0002] Among cutting-edge IT technologies, memory, calculation, and communication systems are fully mobilized. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] Patent application numbers 2023-076548 2024-026077 2024-058484 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The true nature of points is discount coupons that have been given out at a rate of 1 point per 100 yen. The current situation with points is that they are strangling themselves by dividing up the days of the week and times and setting up excessive points distribution days such as 5x days and 10x days. The root cause of this is the compensation amount for the discount at 1 point = 1 yen, which has ballooned to an amount that cannot be ignored as the number of points has increased. Means to solve the problem

[0005] In the first place, if the number of points that make up a unit price doubles, the value of that point will naturally be halved. Nevertheless, the problem began when people were so hung up on the catchphrase "save and use" that they underestimated the risk of saving and then spending all at once. To solve the problem, the first step is to dispel the mistaken perception on the supply side.

[0006] Points are likened to cluster bombs, which are a problem on the Ukrainian front. The word "cluster" comes from a bunch of grapes. If 10 points are likened to a bunch of grapes and priced at 1 yen, then the price of one grape divided by 10 (1 yen ÷ 10p) is 10 sen. The relationship between a grape and a bunch of grapes is aptly condensed into 1 point and 10x Day Points. It turns out that the true nature of 10x Day Points is 10 equal parts of 1 point.

[0007] If we consider traditional points, which are based on numbers, the deciding factor for points that can be divided into N equal parts is the point price, which is expressed as 1 / N when the unit price is 1. If the unit price is considered a closed room, it is possible to artificially create a phenomenon where increasing the <unit price> of points decreases the <number>, and decreasing the <unit price> increases the <number>. If this is replaced with <discounted amount> and <change>, the ratio between the two can be expressed by the up and down cursor that moves up and down on the unit price.

[0008] If the closed room for the unit price is divided into one for points and one for the product price, and the cursor is placed only on the points zone, it becomes possible to offer a substitute discount of points only for the fixed unit price. In other words, 50p is converted to yen at a unit price of 50 sen (50p ÷ 0.5), so one can of coffee that would normally cost 100 yen can be purchased for 50p. This is 5 (= N) multiplied by points with a unit price of 50 sen. Furthermore, at the time of payment, 50p is settled at the unit price of 50 sen, and the amount charged to the user will not fall below the purchase price of 100 yen for one can of coffee. By using 5 multiplied by points, the product price (unit price) is preserved free of charge, and the supplier is relieved of the obligation to compensate for the discount on the product price. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] Rakuten Points, which began in 2002, reached a total of 3 trillion points by the end of last year, marking its 20th anniversary. This has the effect of making the 3 trillion yen cost of rewards, at 1 yen per point, disappear in an instant. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1]Alternative discounts for points that separate points from the product price [Figure 2] Generate point profits through first-use-first-use-later settlement procedures Mode for carrying out the invention

[0011] Since settlement is only possible for used points, bold release is possible. A 10,000 point / 100 yen lucky bag sale is effective for selling points at a low cost, anticipating a cost of "0" yen. Don't forget to set an expiration date to increase turnover.

Claims

1. 5 (=N) betting points that allow all-point settlement

2. N-point vendor with adjustable betting rate
