A service point management system employs a computer for managing points issued
to each customer who receives service according to the points. A point issue unit
issues points to the customer according to transactions performed by the customer.
A point accumulation unit calculates and accumulates the issued points. A point
notification unit notifies the customer of point information. A customer identification
unit identifies the customer according to customer identification data entered
through a customer or store terminal. The point notification unit notifies the
customer identified by the customer identification unit of the customer's cumulative
point information before the customer carries out transactions.
