Method and system for integrating authentication and approval using one button different barcode
The present invention relates to a system and method for one button-based heterogeneous barcode integration authentication/approval which is capable of providing a one-button integration authentication/approval service for a heterogeneous barcode with existing barcode authentication affiliated stores infrastructures utilized as they are, and exchanging barcodes of existing gift certificates, coupons, pre-paid cards, credit cards, etc. possessed by a user for heterogeneous barcodes through a gateway operator server.
1. A heterogeneous barcode integration authentication/approval system, comprising:
a user mobile device;
a gateway operator server;
a barcode issuer; and
an affiliated store POS terminal,
wherein
the user mobile device is installed with an E-wallet application, configured to
retain gift certificates and coupons,
register numbers of the retained gift certificates or coupons through a membership joining to the gateway operator server, and
request an exchange of the registered gift certificates or coupons for heterogeneous barcodes;
the gateway operator server is configured to
request the barcode issuer, which issued the gift certificates or coupons requested for exchange by the user mobile device, to authenticate validity of the gift certificates or coupons,
exchange the gift certificates or coupons having the validity authenticated by the barcode issuer for the corresponding heterogeneous barcodes, and
transmit the heterogeneous barcodes to the user mobile device;
the barcode issuer is configured to
check the validity for the gift certificates or coupons requested for validity authentication by the gateway operator server, by comparing the registered numbers of the gift certificates or coupons with barcode data stored in a database, and
transmit an authentication result to the gateway operator server; and
the affiliated store POS terminal is configured to, in response to a request for use of a heterogeneous barcode from the user mobile device,
scan the heterogeneous barcode,
request the gateway operator server to approve the use of the heterogeneous barcode, and
settle a corresponding amount of money corresponding to the approved heterogeneous barcode,
wherein, when an approval for use of the heterogeneous barcode is requested from the affiliated store POS terminal, the gateway operator server is configured to check the validity of the heterogeneous barcode and transmit a result of the use approval to the affiliated store POS terminal, and
wherein the heterogeneous barcode is an integrated mobile barcode corresponding to one of the authenticated gift certificates or coupons, and includes a prefix identifying the barcode issuer and One Time Password (OTP) code information.
2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the gateway operator server is configured to
settle approval contents of a heterogeneous barcode used as sale money of goods sold in an affiliated store and
transmit the settled approval contents to the affiliated store and the barcode issuer of the exchanged gift certificates or coupons.
3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the gift certificates or coupons include a pre-paid card and a credit card.
4. A method for heterogeneous barcode integration authentication/approval in a system including a user mobile device, a gateway operator server, a barcode issuer and an affiliated store POS terminal, the method comprising:
registering, by the user mobile device, numbers of gift certificates and coupons carried in an E-wallet through membership joining to the gateway operator server;
requesting, by the user mobile device, the gateway operator server to exchange the registered gift certificates or coupons for heterogeneous barcodes;
requesting, by the gateway operator server, the barcode issuer, which issued the gift certificates or coupons requested for exchange by the user mobile device, to authenticate validity of the gift certificates or coupons;
checking, by the barcode issuer, the validity for the gift certificates or coupons requested for validity authentication by the gateway operator server, by comparing the registered numbers of the gift certificates or coupons with barcode data stored in a database of the barcode issuer, and transmitting, by the barcode issuer, an authentication result to the gateway operator server;
exchanging, by the gateway operator server, the authenticated gift certificates or coupons for a corresponding heterogeneous barcode;
transmitting, by the gateway operator server, the corresponding heterogeneous barcode to the user mobile device;
when a request for use of the heterogeneous barcode is received from the user mobile device, scanning, by the affiliated store POS terminal, the heterogeneous barcode, and requesting, by the affiliated store POS terminal, the gateway operator server to approve the use of the heterogeneous barcode;
checking, by the gateway operator server, validity of the heterogeneous barcode and transmitting a result of the use approval to the affiliated store POS terminal; and
settling a corresponding amount of money corresponding to the approved heterogeneous barcode,
wherein the heterogeneous barcode is an integrated mobile barcode corresponding to one of the authenticated gift certificates or coupons and includes a prefix identifying the barcode issuer and One Time Password (OTP) code information.
5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:
settling, by the gateway operator server, approval contents of a heterogeneous barcode used as sale money of goods sold in an affiliated store and transmitting, by the gateway operator server, the settled approval contents to the affiliated store and the barcode issuer.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the gift certificates or coupons include a pre-paid card and a credit card.
