Description

Location-based mobile benefit information service system The present invention relates to a location-based mobile benefit information service system that allows a user to receive information on affiliated stores offering various benefits based on their own location. Recently, there has been an increase in the issuance of membership cards, credit cards, coupons, etc., which provide benefits such as discounts on the price of goods or point accumulation for the purpose of promoting the sale of goods or the use of provided services (hereinafter referred to as "purchase of goods"). Additionally, the use of gifticons, which can be sent via mobile, has been rapidly increasing. These cards, coupons, and gifticons have long been used to encourage the sale of goods, and recently, the scope of benefits has expanded to include not only discounts but also point accumulation. However, as the variety of issued membership cards, credit cards, and coupons increases, users often fail to remember the existence of the membership cards and coupons they currently possess. Furthermore, even if points are accumulated, it is common for users not to know exactly when they can use them, as there are various types of points. Moreover, it is common for users not to know what kind of benefits their current credit card offers. Consequently, there was a problem in that although users could receive various benefits such as cards, coupons, and points when purchasing goods, they were unable to utilize them properly and thus could not realize profits; consequently, this situation prevented the encouragement of product purchases, which also prevented sellers from realizing profits, ultimately resulting in neither users nor sellers being able to achieve mutual benefits.
