    摘要: A method of secure electronic couponing is disclosed which includes a main server system, and a client system interconnected by a distributed computer network, such as the Internet. Coupon data and advertising data are encrypted to thereby reduce the likelihood that such data may be misused, such as by unauthorized duplication. In addition, the client system is identified by a user identification that is allocated and associated with user information collected from the user of the client system. The user information is indicative of one or more demographic characteristics of the user without being sufficiently personal to specifically identify the user, thus preserving privacy. An icon is provided which, when flashing, alerts the user to the fact that new coupons are available.

    摘要: An issuing system and an electronic advertisement management method which allow both users and issuers to exploit ticket information, privilege information, and additional information for coupons and numbered tickets. A user can receive a coupon issued by a coupon issuing device and exercise it at a coupon exercising terminal in a store to enjoy a privilege such as a discount. When a coupon is exercised at the coupon exercising terminal, the fact is communicated to a coupon issuance control server, which can alter subsequent coupons substantially in real time. Coupon discounts can be changed according to the coupon exercise status or exercise history for each user.
