Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shopping information providing system, a shopping information providing apparatus, and a shopping information providing method for providing shopping information related to shopping to a client who is a customer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the Internet has spread widely and has been established as a social infrastructure. For this reason, many goods and services are traded via the Internet. In such a situation, if we have a communication terminal such as a personal computer or a mobile phone, we can obtain most products and services while staying far away from the store.

[0003] For example, a site called "Rakuten Ichiba" provided by Rakuten on the Internet (URL: http: // ww
w.rakuten.co.jp) is well known as a shopping mall using the Internet. Customers who use this site can receive services such as alcoholic beverages, foodstuffs, office supplies, as well as accommodation facilities and translation services, from many stores scattered throughout the country.

[0004]

However, shopping mall sites such as the above-mentioned Rakuten Ichiba have the advantage of being able to receive goods and services from various stores nationwide, The disadvantage is that it is difficult to provide fresh foods necessary for daily dining. This is because products that do not last a long time are not suitable for purchase from a store that is too far away.

[0005] On the other hand, a shopping mall site using the Internet as described above has a system for searching for a store irrespective of the location of a customer. For this reason, even if a customer wants to purchase fresh foods and the like from a nearby store, the customer cannot find a nearby store. In addition, in the case of a person with a physical disability, there is no way to find out where a store is available for home delivery, even if one wants to bring food to home by home delivery.

[0006] In addition, even if a person who is satisfied with the body is a single person or a person who has just moved, he often does not know the location of the food supermarket. In particular, it is difficult to know about the existence of food supermarkets that bring food quickly by home delivery.

[0007] On the other hand, paying attention to the purchase of ingredients, it is annoying for housewives to consider daily menus. This is because it is necessary to prevent nutrition imbalance and menu rut, and to get cheap ingredients even for one yen. An elderly housewife can also invent many menus that take price into account with years of experience and effort.

[0008] However, it is extremely difficult for a young housewife to consider the menu of daily meals. You can, however, watch cooking books and television to increase your dietary repertoire and increase your knowledge of the ingredients needed for your diet. However, even if a user looks at a delicious dish from a book, a television, or other media, it is difficult to obtain information on the ingredients and prices. For this reason, even if one wants to obtain ingredients for a certain dish at a low price, one cannot understand until a long time has passed through a newspaper insert advertisement and a culinary magazine. This is labor intensive for singles and singles. As a result, the eyes turn to ready-made instant foods and eating out, resulting in overnutrition or a loss of nutritional balance.

In order to solve such a problem, it is necessary to be able to easily purchase food from a food supermarket near one's own. It is also necessary to make it easy to obtain information on the ingredients and prices from dishes.

[0010] However, even if such a method is taken, further problems remain. Specify the food you want to eat,
Even if you can tell the ingredients of the dish, it is difficult to know the opposite information. In other words, it is difficult for a person who wants to eat a specific food due to health or taste problems to know what kind of dish using the food is available.

[0011] In addition, if a member who can obtain shopping information is encouraged to register as a member and intends to provide shopping information at a membership fee, there is no difference in browsing information between the member and the non-member. The incentive to become a member does not work, and management becomes difficult.

[0012] Further, even if the merchandise information of a store is simply flown, it is useless information for those who do not have an address near the store. Therefore, it is not possible to provide product information that matches the needs of individual customers.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily know a dish using a desired food from a desired food.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of a shopping information providing system, a shopping information providing apparatus and a shopping information providing method according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a shopping information providing system according to the present invention. The shopping information providing system includes a shopping information providing device (hereinafter, referred to as a server) 1, an Internet communication network (hereinafter, simply referred to as the Internet) 2, and a server 1 via the Internet 2 and commercial provider servers 4, 5. And a client terminal 3 to be connected. In addition,
The client terminals 3a and 3b are terminals operated by a client who is a customer who purchases a product such as food using the shopping information providing system.

The commercial server provider 5 is a provider server dedicated to the mobile phone 3b, which is a form of the client terminal 3. When accessing the server 1 from the mobile phone 3b, the mobile phone 3b enters the Internet 2 via the communication station 5a and the commercial provider 5. On the other hand, a communication terminal 3a other than a mobile phone such as a personal computer enters the Internet 2 via an access point (not shown) and a commercial provider server 4.

The Internet 2 is also connected to a shop terminal 6 that can access the server 1 via a commercial provider server 7. The store-side terminal 6 can receive a notification of delivery of a product such as food or an order from the server 1 by e-mail. In addition, the store terminal 6 can also transmit to the server 1 data on new dishes, notice of special sale items, and the like.

Further, on the Internet 2, there are a delivery company server 8 managed by a delivery company, a food manufacturer server 9 managed by a food manufacturer, and a financial institution server 10 managed by a financial institution that performs settlement when purchasing goods. It is connected.

The delivery company server 8 is a server that can receive delivery of merchandise such as food from the server 1 or the store side terminal 6. The food maker server 9 is a server that can receive, from the server 1 or the store-side terminal 6, data such as client questionnaire results, client attributes, and purchase results of products of the maker. In addition, the financial institution server 10 receives the client's name, financial account, and the like entered when the client purchases the product, confirms the client's identity, the balance of the predetermined account, and checks the account from the predetermined account. This is a server for debit payment.

The server 1 manages and operates a shopping site for providing shopping information related to shopping to the client. On the shopping site, data on each registered food supermarket is collected. In addition, the shopping site can link to the homepage owned by each food supermarket. Therefore, if the client wants to obtain detailed information on a specific food supermarket, he can go to the homepage of the food supermarket linked to the client. This shopping site employs a membership system, and provides detailed information on food only to clients who have become members. Therefore, information such as the price of the product at each store is not notified to the non-member client.

When the client who has become a member enters his or her ID and password at his client terminal 3, the server 1 selects a list of food supermarkets near the address of the client and displays them on the shopping site. I do. In addition, the client can know the food supermarket close to the location even if the user inputs his / her own address and his / her office.

In this embodiment, the predetermined positional relationship between the address of the client and the food supermarket is a regional relationship at a district level lower than the municipalities. That is, the server 1 selects a food supermarket within a distance that can be easily delivered to the client. In particular,
The server 1 selects a food supermarket in the same area as the address of the client. An area of the supermarket may be set for each supermarket, and when a client entering the area accesses the supermarket, a supermarket having the area may be extracted.

However, the predetermined positional relationship, that is, the area of the food supermarket is not limited to the regional relationship at the district level lower than the municipalities. The municipalities may use the same area as the area, or in the case of an address where a ward or county comes next to a prefecture, the same area may be used within the same ward or the same county. Also, depending on the number of registered food supermarkets,
The predetermined positional relationship of each area may be changed. Otherwise, when the number of registrations is low, even if you try to display food supermarkets at the district level lower than the city,
This is because "not applicable" often occurs.

Further, when displaying a food supermarket as a specific store close to the client's address, the server 1 limits the store to a store in which food delivery is possible, It is also possible to distinguish both stores that are not allowed to be displayed.

Here, the type of dish includes the type of dish provided by the client or the type of dish prepared by a famous cook.

Also, in this shopping site,
When the number of dishes for each person is input, the display changes to a quantity display of each material or a price display of each material according to the number of people. The item name of each food is displayed in an input box of a window format from which a plurality of items can be selected. When the client selects a specific item from the material item name, the price or price changes according to the item name.

When the client changes the quantity of the item, the price changes according to the changed quantity. Also, when the client changes the price, the price changes to the quantity according to the changed price. On the other hand, when the client inputs a material in the blank additional material column, the unit price, quantity, and price of the additional material are displayed according to the input. This additional material column is a window-type input column in which a plurality of items can be selected.

When the server 1 issues an instruction to display information, the server 1 determines whether the client issuing the instruction is a registered member or an unregistered non-member. And server 1
Selects normal information for member clients. On the other hand, the server 1 selects, for non-member clients, limited information having a smaller amount of information than normal information. The selected information is displayed on the client terminal 3 of each client. For this reason, a member client has a larger amount or quality of information than a non-member client. Therefore, an incentive to become a member can be given to the client.

When the client issues an instruction to display information, the server 1 determines whether or not the information is information on products such as foodstuffs. If the information is information on products, the server 1 is a member and designates a specific store. Only for clients that
The information of the product of the specific store is provided. For this reason, it is possible to provide information on products that match individual members.
