[Second Embodiment]
Next, the configuration of the weighing machine control system according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 17 are block diagrams showing configurations of the portable terminal, the POS system, and the data management server in the weighing machine control system of the present embodiment, respectively.
This embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that it can provide various individual services (hereinafter sometimes referred to as one-to-one service) for each customer according to the refueling situation of the customer.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, a program for enabling individual services to be provided to the mobile terminal 10 from the data management server 70 (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a one-to-one service program) is transmitted and stored. By executing this program, it is possible to provide various services according to the customer's refueling situation.

The mobile terminal 10 of this embodiment includes an individual condition setting unit 17 in addition to the configuration in the first embodiment.
When receiving the application information indicating that the one-to-one service is applied from the data management server 70, the individual condition setting unit 17 displays on the portable terminal 10 that the one-to-one service is applied based on the application information. The service program is updated according to the application information, and various services corresponding to the application information from the data management server 70 can be executed.

By executing the one-to-one service program, for example, when transmitting weighing machine control data from the mobile terminal 10 to the POS system 20, one-to-one information (individual service information) such as applying a predetermined discount price can be transmitted together. .
When such one-to-one information is transmitted, the POS system 20 reflects the one-to-one information in generating sales data and adds discount identification information indicating that it is a discount target to the sales data. The discount identification information may be various, but may be a code indicating that a predetermined amount is discounted, information including a discount price, or the like.

Then, the credit company server 60 that has received such sales data from the POS system 20 via the center server 50 executes sales processing by reducing the amount corresponding to the discount identification information from the sales amount.

This can be performed for each master management number based on the purchase data in the aggregate data.
Then, the individual service processing means 75 transmits application information indicating that a predetermined one-to-one service is to be applied to the customer's mobile terminal 10 that has been determined to be a one-to-one service application target. This application information may be transmitted together with purchase data.

  The one-to-one service is not limited to the discount as described above, and can be various other services such as discount reduction according to customer characteristics. For example, when a customer goes out of a prefecture other than the prefecture where they live, in order to promote the use of their own gas station, if the customer uses it in another prefecture during the designated period (bon festival, year-end and New Year holidays, etc.) It is possible to add some kind of incentive.

  In this case, the individual service processing means 75 can use the location of the gas station in the purchase data, the purchase frequency in a certain period, and the like as the criterion for the one-to-one service. At this time, the individual service processing means 75 treats the mobile terminal 10 corresponding to the master management number as a target for one-to-one service when refueling is performed at a certain gas station more than a predetermined number of times within a certain period. It is possible to determine. The association between the master management number and the portable terminal 10 can be realized by registering the MAC address of the portable terminal 10 corresponding to each master management number in the master storage unit 72, for example. .
