Description

An Apparatus for Treating an Offering or a Donation of a Religious Group or a Religious Organization The present invention relates to an automatic processing device for offerings or donations of a religious or religious-related organization, and specifically, to an automatic processing device for offerings and donations of a religious or religious-related organization that enables offerings or donations for a religious or religious-related organization to be processed in a non-face-to-face or contactless manner. Various religious organizations or religious-related groups operate based on offerings, sponsorships, or donations, and members of these organizations provide cash to such organizations in person, or via bank transfer or similar methods. However, such methods of provision have the disadvantage of imposing temporal or spatial constraints on donors or beneficiary organizations. Regarding the automatic processing of donations or sponsorships, Patent Registration No. 10-1811371 discloses a mobile religious offering and sponsorship payment system and a method for implementing the same. Additionally, Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0096175 discloses a method for providing location-based donation services using a kiosk. However, the provision methods disclosed in the prior art or known technology have the disadvantage that it is difficult to conveniently provide offerings or donations at various locations without temporal constraints. Furthermore, they have the disadvantage that it is difficult for donors or providers to transparently verify the results of the offerings or donations. Therefore, there is a need to develop a device capable of automatically processing offerings or donations that allows for convenient offerings or donations without temporal or spatial constraints and enables verification of the donation results, but the prior art does not disclose such technology. The present invention aims to solve the problems of the prior art and has the following objectives. FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an automatic processing device for offerings and donations of a religious or religiously related organization according to the present invention. FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment in which an automatic processing device according to the present invention is made into a kiosk structure and installed in a designated location. FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a process in which an automatic processing device according to the present invention operates in conjunction with a mobile device. FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a structure in which an automatic processing device according to the present invention operates in conjunction with a management server. FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a structure in which the details of the provision of offerings or donations provided by an automatic processing device according to the present invention are verified. The present invention is described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the attached drawings, but the embodiments are for a clear understanding of the invention and the invention is not limited thereto. In the description below, components having the same reference numeral in different drawings have similar functions and are not described repeatedly unless necessary for understanding the invention, and known components are described briefly or omitted, but should not be understood as being excluded from the embodiments of the present invention. FIG. 1 illustrates an example of an automatic processing device for offerings and donations of a religious or religiously related organization according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the automatic processing device for offerings and donations of a religious or religious-related organization includes: a receiving module (11) for receiving offerings, donations, or sponsorships in cash or electronic payment means; an automatic processing module (12) for automatically processing offerings, donations, or sponsorships received by the receiving module (11); a settlement module (13) for settling the processing results of the automatic processing module (12); a DB/ledger storage module for storing the settlement results in a donation database (18) or a donation ledger (19); and a processing result sending module (17) for sending the processing results to various types of electronic devices. Donations may be offerings, sponsorships, contributions, or money provided to a religious or religious-related organization free of charge, and such money may include, for example, virtual currency. Religious or religious-related organizations include various organizations that propagate Protestant, Buddhist, Baptist, Christian, Shincheonji, Unification Church, Full Gospel, or similar doctrines that operate based on donations provided free of charge, and are not limited by the name of the organization or the nature of the doctrine. They also include various types of non-profit organizations operated by donat
