AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing coupon management systems fail to prevent the reuse of coupons without inadvertently restricting legitimate use when multiple issuers use identical coupon codes, leading to unauthorized restrictions.
Method used
A coupon management system that includes a first determination means to identify the inquirer, a search means to find eligible coupon plans, a generation means to create unique coupon codes, a recording means to track usage, a second determination means to verify eligibility, and a response means to allow or deny benefits based on issuer relationships and coupon status.
Benefits of technology
Effectively prevents coupon reuse across different issuers while allowing legitimate use, ensuring accurate coupon management and utilization.

Abstract
This approach restricts the reuse of coupons while preventing their legitimate use from being restricted. [Solution] The generation means generates a coupon code that includes the project identifier of the coupon project for which the issuance conditions are met by the search means, the issuer identifier determined by the first determination means, and the coupon identifier. The determination means determines whether to allow or reject the provision of the benefits of the coupon project identified by the project identifier included in the notified coupon code, at least as a rejection, if the inquirer determined by the second determination means does not have a predetermined relationship with the issuer identified by the issuer identifier included in the notified coupon code, or if the notified coupon code is not recorded as unused by the recording means. The recording means updates the record to confirm that the coupon code notified at the time of inquiry is not unused, in response to the response from the response means that the provision of benefits is allowed.
