  • Publication number: 20230306458
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a server device for a retail stamp card service includes a communication interface connectable to a network and a storage unit for storing electronic stamp cards for a plurality of purchasers and stamp issuance conditions for a plurality of stores. A processor of the server device is configured to acquire purchaser identification information and receipt data indicating details of a purchase by a purchaser at a store and determine, based on the receipt data, whether a stamp issuance condition has been satisfied. The processor then issues stamp data if the stamp issuance condition has been satisfied and updates stamp card data according to the issued stamp data. The stamp issuance conditions can be set on an individual store basis, a brand basis, or an operating company basis based on operator input to the server device.

  • Publication number: 20050185625
    Abstract: To provide an address dynamic assignment system, a relay apparatus, a location manager, an address management apparatus and an address dynamic assignment method for dynamically assigning terminal identification address information for identifying a mobile node without putting load on a radio section by reducing a message amount in the radio section. An MN 1 sends an LR including IPha information to an AR 2. An address acquisition necessity determination portion 21 of the AR2 determines whether or not there is a need to acquire the IPha information to be assigned to the MN 1 based on the IPha information included in the LR. An address acquisition proxy portion 22 of the AR2 acquires the IPha information. A post-address-acquisition location registration portion 23 sends an LU including the acquired IPha information to an LM 4. An assigned address notification portion 24 sends back an LRAck including the acquired IPha information to the MN 1.
