Abstract: PURPOSE: A store entry confirmation method is provided to transmit related information between products of plural stores and store link information for efficient return processing. CONSTITUTION: RFID(Radio Frequency ID) information is read from an RFID tag on a predetermined product(300). A terminal or a device transmits the read RFID information to a store server in order to confirm expansion information or event information stored by connecting with the read RFID information(305). If the event information or the expansion information corresponding to the RFID information is not found, the store server checks whether there is new event information or new expansion information(320). [Reference numerals] (300) A terminal or device capable of reading RFID tag information reads RFID tag information from an RFID tag attached to an article; (305) The terminal or device transmits the read RFID tag information to a store server to check the existence of a related event or expansion information; (310) The store server searches for an event or expansion information corresponding to the received RFID tag information from a storage medium(2); (315,345) An event or expansion information exists?; (320) The store server requests the integrated management server to confirm the existence of a new event or expansion information corresponding to the received RFID tag information; (325) The integrated management server searches for an event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information transmitted from the store server from a storage medium(1); (335) The integrated management server notifies the store server of no event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information; (340) The store server notifies the terminal or device of no event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information; (350) The integrated management server extracts an event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information from the storage medium(1); (360) The store server checks the existence of an event or expansion information corresponding to the received RFID tag information by being interlocked with the integrated management server; (365) The integrated management server searches for an event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information transmitted from the store server from the storage medium(1); (370) An event or expansion information is updated?; (375) The integrated management server extracts the updated event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag from the storage medium(1); (380) The integrated management server transmits the event or expansion information extracted from the storage medium(1) to the store server; (385) The store server receives an update event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information and updates the storage medium(2); (390) The store server transmits the updated event or expansion information corresponding to the RFID tag information to the terminal or device; (395) The terminal or device receives the event or expansion information and displays to a user; (AA) Start; (BB,DD,FF) No; (CC,GG,EE) Yes; (HH) End
