The account registration system according to claim 2.
4. The aforementioned input number is transmitted as a tone signal from the telephone terminal. The account registration system according to claim 1.
5. A method executed by a processor, The steps include sending a unique initial registration number for each store and employee, as well as the system's telephone number, to the employee terminal logged into the system, The steps include registering an employee account on the employee terminal if the telephone number of a telephone terminal that made a call to the telephone number of the system matches the store telephone number registered in association with the information identifying the employee's store on the employee terminal, and the input number transmitted from the telephone terminal matches the initial registration number transmitted to the employee terminal; Account registration instructions, including how to register an account.

Description

An application for the application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act was filed. On April 9, 2024, Seven & i Holdings Co., Ltd. published on its website an account registration system invented by Hiroyuki Wagatsuma, Koichi Tsunoda, Hayato Ohko, Nobuyasu Shibahara, Sayuri Yoshino, Nozomu Takashima, Atsuhiko Numata, Masanori Takeda, Naoto Ikeda, Hiroaki Inaba, Junya Sugiyama, Yoshinori Niwa, Itaru Adachi, Takahiro Nakajima, and Takanori Kodera. This invention relates to an account registration system and an account registration method. Generally, when using systems that provide various services, account registration is required for each service used. Since the registered account contains personal information, enhanced security is necessary. Therefore, when registering an account, a user ID and password are required, and thereafter, the user ID and password are required each time you log in to verify your identity. Patent Document 1 below discloses a method for managing accounts, including user IDs and passwords. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2011-128985 This diagram illustrates the configuration of an information processing system including an account registration system according to the embodiment.This diagram illustrates the physical configuration of the account registration system.This diagram illustrates the physical configuration of an employee terminal.This diagram illustrates the functional configuration of an account registration system.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on an employee's terminal.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on an employee's terminal.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on an employee's terminal.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on an employee's terminal.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on an employee's terminal.This figure shows an example of a screen displayed on an employee's terminal.This is a sequence chart illustrating an example of operation in an information processing system.This is a sequence chart illustrating an example of operation in an information processing system. The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted. [Overview of the Information Processing System] In this embodiment, a system is described, as an example, for registering employee accounts, including delivery personnel and store clerks, who deliver goods ordered by customers from physical stores to a location specified by the customer using a virtual store on a network. The stores in this embodiment include, for example, convenience stores that also provide delivery services, which sell goods in-store and also deliver ordered goods. Referring to Figure 1, the configuration of the information processing system, including the account registration system 1 according to this embodiment, will be described. The information processing system includes, for example, the account registration system 1, an employee terminal 2 used by employees, and a store telephone terminal 3 owned by the store. The account registration system 1 consists of a server device that manages store information and employee information for each store, and performs processing to support employee account registration. In this embodiment, for the sake of explanation, we will describe the case where the account registration system 1 is configured with a single server device. However, the server device constituting the account registration system 1 does not necessarily have to be a single device; it may be configured with multiple server devices provided according to their functions and roles. As employee terminal 2, for example, a smartphone may be used, but it is not limited to this; any portable terminal with telephone functionality and a display will suffice. As the store telephone terminal 3, for example, a push-button landline telephone can be used, but it is not limited to this; a portable terminal with telephone functionality capable of transmitting tone signals may also be used. The account registration system 1, employee terminal 2, and store telephone terminal 3 are configured to communicate via network N. Network N may be any of the following: the internet, LAN, dedicated line, telephone line, corporate network, mobile communication network, Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), other communication lines, or combinations thereof, and may be wired or wireless. [Configuration of the account registration system] As shown in Figure 2, the account registration system 1 includes, for example, a processor 11, a storage device 12, and a communication unit 13. The processor 11 is, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) or an MPU (Micro Processing Unit). The processor 11 functions as a control unit that implements various functions of the account registration system 1 by executing the
