[Prior Art] In order to facilitate users to query or use different occasions, the interactive multimedia information machine (kiosk) has been set up in many public places. The interactive multimedia public information machine mainly uses the touch screen interface to receive user's instructions, and connects to the database or website through the regional network (UN) or wide area network (WAN) connection, and then obtains the user's website. Relevant information required; users can obtain specific services with sound and light effects through the electrical equipment, data telecommunication equipment and audio-visual equipment built in the interactive multimedia public information machine. Common interactive multimedia public information systems include, for example, the "Kiosk Station" (KIOSK) set at the stations of Taipei MRT, multimedia guides set at the entrance of major exhibition venues, or at the airport. Or an information inquiry machine for passengers to check the number of flights and traffic conditions. The so-called "interactive" means that it can interact with users; in other words, such multimedia information devices can provide relevant information according to the user's browsing and search instructions. Take "KIOSK" as an example, it can provide MRT passengers on life information enquiries, business district store information enquiries, discount coupons and electronic map printing, audio and video multimedia advertising viewing, and astrology and fortune telling, etc. service. In addition to the 6 patent application.doc 1254225, the user can obtain free information via this interactive multimedia public A-combination machine, or insert a financial card or credit card sub-card Kaya through interactive multimedia public broadcasting. The connection between the machine and the bank, and the financial transfer payment, mobile phone ringtones to download and other transactions. In this respect, the "MRT Life Station (η·)" is the same as the ATMs in terms of the transfer and payment of the software, except for the direct withdrawal of cash by the user. The first picture shows a Weiss's interactive multimedia public information machine's main system including - processing equipment, a storage device 丄 2, - data telecommunication device 13, a touch-type camp 14, the speaker ...^Printing device i6, and - card reader 17. The second figure shows the operating environment of the multimedia multimedia information machine. The interactive multimedia media i 0 is connected to various databases, silver I:, financial information companies, credit card centers, and electronic stores through a wired network. Although the user wants to use the interactive multimedia information machine 10 for data search, it uses the touch screen 14 to turn on the browse or search for the command 'clothing set 1 1 connection text this instruction and borrow The data telecom device 13 is connected to the relevant database or directly from the storage server 2 to retrieve the desired message. When the user wants to use the interactive multimedia information machine 0 to make a full transfer, it only needs to insert the financial card into the card reader 丄7, and the processing set 11 will be connected to the issuing bank or the bank via the dedicated line. Gold Information 2 X for financial transfer processing. When the user subscribes through the e-shop website, the user can choose to insert the financial card or credit card into the card reader. Ya is connected to the bank or credit + center for payment transactions. The existing interactive multimedia public information machine in the prior art is not I:\Paten-Life\TWN\Invention patent application d〇c 1254225 T pure for μ (4) m only merges with automatic machine transfer and card And Yi Gongyue b' has not been able to communicate with the current cash register mechanism in convenience stores, supermarkets or stores. On the other hand, the current mechanism for using bonus credits to accumulate bonus points for redemption of goods is still based on telephone or fax. According to this-child exchange method, the credit card card friend generally refers to the bonus points listed on the credit card payment slip, and then checks the bonus product catalogue sent by the credit card issuing bank, after confirming the desired item and quantity. Through the telephone to change the operation from the f-voice system or the customer service staff; or fill in the relevant information in the number of items, the address of the recipient, etc., and fax it to the credit card issuing bank for the home exchange operation. Due to the gradual prevalence of the Internet and the gradual completion of the network security transaction environment in recent years, there has been an increasing trend of credit card holders who have made changes to dividends through the Internet. The second picture shows the general process of credit card card friends through the Internet for dividends. Users can connect to the card issuing bank website via the Internet, then enter the user account and password to log in to the service, then check the bonus points online, and search for the number of trade names that can be exchanged. Fill in the name on the web page, change the name, quantity, and μ address' so that you can change the confirmation to complete the change. After receiving the request for such a change, the credit card issuing bank will then contact the bonus commodity supplier and the logistics provider to send the relevant items. Regarding the credit card bonus point child change job, whether it is by phone or fax, or through the Internet, the credit card card friend has changed from the completion of the operation until he receives the changed item. : Generally still need I: \Patent\Hi-Life\TWN\ invention patent application 1254225 two to four weeks of operation time, ] 4 days fee day ^, in addition, for children to change; goods include home appliances, home , bedding, kitchen utensils, boutiques, toys,: drink discount coupons, but there are usually certain thresholds for changing the number of points required, this is determined by the value of the product itself. For example, if you want to change the stalks of the merchants'.,,, and thousands of ― 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 名 叙 叙 叙 叙 叙 叙 叙The bonus is right for the right rider and the commodity is a five-star hotel afternoon tea vouchers worth hundreds of dollars. If the brothers change places, the points may be thousands of points. It is worth noting that even if the value of the goods for sale is not High, credit card friends still have to wait a few weeks to receive the goods they have changed. On the other hand, regarding the current online booking operation, the table, the dumplings and the seat reservations are taken as an example. The system can be used at home or on the Internet (4) computer and through the Internet to book the booking website for performances, personal and seat check A, purchase, and credit card online payment operations. The current mechanism for booking a ticket is obtained by the user by (-) going to the ticketing point to pick up the ticket; (2) the booking website to post the ticket to the presenter by post; and (3) The booking website first sends the ticket to, for example, a convenience store. In the place, the user picks up the ticket at the designated place. The current mechanism for booking is indeed flawed and inconvenient. For example, although the trading environment of the 5-butt ticket website is protected by encryption, It is still difficult to ensure that personal financial information will not be intercepted and misappropriated, especially in the case of computer hackers, and the means of gradual clarification are more difficult to comprehend. + from I ^ security, users do not need Going to the ticketing point in person to collect the ticket' is the need to pay the postage or home delivery logistics fee to obtain the I:\Patent\Hi-Life\TWN^ patent application.doc 1254225 and may incur the 5th purchase ticket, such as The ticket mechanism not only costs a lot of time, but also costs him.
