摘要

An affiliated store server, a service-providing apparatus and a terminal, an electronic wallet system comprising the same, a control method thereof, and a recording medium having a computer program recorded therefor are disclosed. The present invention provides a method for using a diversity of coupons by allowing the use of coupons from non-affiliated stores, comprising the steps of pre-registering a coupon that is provided from a non-affiliated store in a coupon server, issuing the coupon to a terminal requesting the coupon using a service-providing apparatus, and processing the use of the coupon in cooperation with an affiliated store server when the coupon is used in a terminal. The method can thereby improve user convenience and management efficiency and can expand coupon-linked areas.
