Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for sending a gift item or the like on the Internet when a user orders a gift item or the like.
The present invention relates to a gift item delivery order system that can save labor of registering a delivery destination when returning incense books and the like, and can obtain information on delivery via an Internet web page or e-mail.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is an online shop which allows a product to be selected on a homepage on the Internet, collects the price, and accepts a request for delivery to a destination as a gift, but has the following problems.

[0003] In the conventional online shop on the Internet, even when gift items are sent to a large number of destinations due to mid-year, year-end gift, incense return, etc., product information, prices and supplementary services of a plurality of gift item handling companies are cross-sectionally compared. Since there is no service to provide, when making an estimate, it is necessary to input necessary items at each site and confirm the estimated amount.

In a conventional online shop on the Internet, even when gift items are sent to a large number of destinations due to the middle year, year-end gift, incense return, etc., when ordering, the user enters a destination address and address on a designated form on a web page using a keyboard.

1 ”saves it in the“ destination storage file 403 ”
A "delivery item designation page 304" is displayed to prompt the selection of a gift item handling company and the input of which gift item and how many to send to each destination.

When the trader A is selected from the pull-down menu or the like and the product is designated by the “product code 4011” (step 5), the “calculation unit 32” sets the individual “recruitment” in the “trader A product information database 401”. “Price 4017” and “Shipping system code 4019” are obtained, and “Destination storage file 4” is obtained using “Address code search database 404”.
03 to “address code 4031” to “address code 40”
42, and “shipping 4051” in the “shipping calculation table 405”, then calculate the total amount of “recruitment price 4017” and “shipping 4053” and present it on the “estimated amount presentation page 305” ( At the same time as step 6), the user is prompted to move to the "other company estimate confirmation page 306" (step 7).

When there is an access to the “other company estimate confirmation page 306”, the “calculation unit 32” uses the “substitute product search table 406” to specify “commodity” of an equivalent or substitute product specified individually. Code 4021 "and" trader B
In the "product information database 402", each "recruitment price 40"
27 ”and“ postage system code 4029 ”,“ address code 4042 ”is obtained from“ destination address 4031 ”of“ destination storage file 403 ”using“ address code search database 404 ”, and“ postage calculation table 4 ”
05 and get the “Shipping 4053”
In addition, the total amount of “027” and “postage 4053” is calculated and presented on the “other company quote confirmation page 306” (step 8), and the user is prompted to move to the “order confirmation page 307”.

When the "order confirmation page 307" is accessed, a formal order is urged by the order confirmation button to finally select which gift product handling company to select (step 9).

"71" to display the details of the order received, and "ordered destination list data 10" to "user computer 10".
After prompting to save "1", it instructs the "printer 70" to print the delivery slip in accordance with a preset print form, and prompts for delivery arrangement and billing work.

After sending the gift item, "User PC 1
When the “delivery slip number 4071” displayed on the “order confirmation page 308” by “0” is clicked (step 1)
1) The "arithmetic unit 32" is connected to the "delivery server computer 5" which is always connected through the "Internet 20".
A request is made to search the "delivery slip management database 601" constructed in the "delivery store storage device 60" in "0" (step 12), and the "delivery server computer 50" corresponds to the "delivery slip number 6011". "Delivery status 601
When "9" is returned, the "output unit 33" displays the extraction result on the "delivery status confirmation page 309" (step 13).

Further, the destination is unknown (step 14).
In the "delivery item slip management database 601" constructed in the "delivery company storage device 60", the address of the "delivery status 6019" of the "slip number 6011" is not known or asked, and the delivery product is returned because the relocation destination is unknown. Is received (step 15), the “receiving unit 31” acquires the “delivery slip number 6011” and the “delivery status 6019”, and the “calculating unit 32” obtains the “order received file”. 407 "
"Delivery slip number 4071" and "Requester name 4073"
"E-mail address 4075" and "Address 4081"
And the "output unit 33" transmits to the "e-mail address 4075" to reconfirm the destination because the gift product cannot be delivered to the "address 4081" because of the "delivery status 6019" ( Step 16).

Further, the delivery to the destination is completed, and the data of the delivery completion is stored in the “delivery status 6019” of the “slip number 6011” in the “delivery item slip management database 601” constructed in the “delivery agent storage device 60”. When input (step 17), the “receiving unit 31” sets the “delivery slip number 60”.
11 ”, the“ arithmetic unit 32 ”extracts“ client name 4073 ”,“ e-mail address 4075 ”and“ address 4081 ”from“ delivery slip number 4071 ”of the“ order contents storage file 407 ”, The output unit 33 transmits to the "e-mail address 4075" that the delivery of the gift item to the "address 4081" has been completed (step 18).
