Next, a merchandise sales service method according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a sequence diagram illustrating the product sales service method according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the area information transmitting terminal 2000 starts providing an information menu for purchasing a product (step A1), and the location information network 200 starts providing a location information service (step A2). . The user terminal 10 receives the product information menu provided from the area information transmission terminal 2000, and displays the information menu on the display (step A3).

When the user of the user terminal 10 determines a product to be purchased from the information menu and inputs the order details of the product (step A4), the user terminal 10 receives the location information provided from the location information network 200. To obtain the address of the current location (step A5), and display the address of the current location on the display (step A5).
6).

Next, the user specifies the delivery destination of the product to be purchased,
Select / designate whether to be the current point or a registered point registered in advance in the user terminal 10 (Step A)
7).

It is checked whether or not the delivery destination of the product selected / specified in step A7 is a registered point (step A8). When the delivery destination of the designated product is the registered point, the user terminal 10 calculates the required time required to move from the current point to the registered point from the means of transportation or the route (step A9), and calculates the required time from the current time. The time after the required time elapses is designated as the product delivery designated time.

After the user inputs information necessary for authentication and settlement of the purchase of the product to the user terminal 10 (step A).
10), the user terminal 10 sends the order details, delivery destination, designated delivery time, and authentication / settlement information of the product to the order receiving terminal 1
