Capsule Points

Abstract

The challenge lies in balancing sales offering 10% off (point value of 10 yen), 20% off (point value of 20 yen), and 50% off (point value of 50 yen). [Solution] Prioritize 10% off and 20% off sales based on the amount of points used. By limiting 50% off sales, set an expiration date for points while determining the number of points available in the market.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] If we seek the basis for an invention that completely revolutionizes the conventional point system in the arithmetic system, it is the shift from multiplication to division. The number of points to be added is derived based on addition or multiplication, but it can also be obtained by evenly dividing the unit points. This is an addition method possible in the division domain. Systematically, for the correspondence between the front and the back, reversible logic is required.,

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Points have been discussed as money covered with a coupon skin or a coupon covered with a money skin. That is, if the coupon used for discount is not returned to money, the discount cannot be compensated. Furthermore, the coupon returned to money is generally called electronic money in the general public. Contrary to the skillful two-sword style aspect called dual use, there is a reduction cost for returning points to money in the realization of the two-sword style. Points have extremely clumsy contradictions. If this is not resolved, a bright future will never come. Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] If the points within the unit price double, its value should logically be halved. However, the current situation where the catchphrase "can be saved and used" comes first remains unchanged. While each point company is striving to reduce the costs associated with restoration (reduction), this case is considered to contribute to a fundamental solution.,

[0006] If we consider points that rely on numbers as the conventional type, the key to points that can be divided into N equal parts is that, if the unit price is set at 1 yen, it can be divided into 2, 5, or 10 parts using the common divisor of that unit price. A unit price of 50 sen, 20 sen, or 10 sen is assigned to each, and they become paid points. This is nothing less than electronic money. What we have been calling electronic money until now must be recognized as points that have an exchange rate of 1 yen or more. On the other hand, by making points paid, supplying companies are completely freed from the obligation to give back.

[0007] With Capsule Points, several discount patterns can be created depending on the unit price of the points being stored. For example, if the unit price is 50 sen and 2 points are counted for every 1 yen, the identity that holds is "1 = 1 / 2 + 1 / 2". The two "1 / 2"s are, firstly, the 50% discount price, and the other is 50 sen, which can be seen as either change from 1 yen or a discount amount. In the case of post-pay (return processing of used points), this is where the advantages of capsule points are fully demonstrated. The 50 sen used to compensate for the discount, or the other half of "1 / 2P," leaves no trace within the 1 yen capsule as long as it was used. The empty capsule left behind can be used to kick back any number of times without causing any guilt whatsoever. This is because the charge only applies to the amount used. Moreover, if you aim to compensate 90% of the points used, 10% of the target price will be secured as point profit (a seller-borne fee that is deducted from the price in the case of electronic money). [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] Rakuten Points, now in its 20th year, have reached a total of 3 trillion points issued. The 3 trillion yen redemption cost per point (at 1 yen) is expected to vanish overnight. A simple calculation shows that 10% of that, or 300 billion yen, is within reach. This Capsule Points initiative has the potential to instantly convert the total costs incurred up to that point into profit. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0010] Since settlements are only made for points that have been used, bold releases are possible. Anticipating a cost of "0" yen, selling points in lucky bags of 10,000 points for 100 yen is a highly effective way to make easy money. Don't forget to set an expiration date to increase turnover.

Claims

1. 5x points (=N) multiplier enables 50% off all point payments.

2. This is an account debit system where you earn 1 point for every 1 yen spent on utility bills, credit card payments, etc.

3. A points vendor selling 10,000 points for 100 yen.
